Information About the ILC156
ILC156 Function Modules
10G 3G/HD/SD-SDI, ASI 6 Channel Mux/Demux
Information About the ILC156
This manual introduces the two ILC156 function modules and includes information for installing and
conguring the modules.The ILC156 can transport up to six DVB-ASI, SD, HD-SDI or three 3G-SDI digital video
services over a single optical wavelength. Powerful Forward Error Correction (FEC) is used on the optical
transmission to insure bit error-free video. Using time division multiplexing (TDM), each channel is assigned a
xed time-slot, eliminating complex congurations.
The six-channel ILC156 is available in the following models:
• ILC156M—Multiplexer that can aggregate six independent, mixed format video signals onto a single
wavelength.Two time slots can be combined to carry 3G-SDI. The electrical inputs are received using
the module’s six BNC connectors. Optionally, up to ve of the inputs can be received from other
modules using backplane connections.
• ILC156D—De-multiplexer that can receive the aggregated optical signals, separate them, and output
them to six BNC connectors. Optionally, up to ve of the channels can be output to other modules
using backplane connections.
The ILC156D can be congured to operate as a repeater to extend the range of a link while de-
multiplexing signals for local use.
The ILC156 uses a 10.7Gb/s XFP transceiver for WDM (1310 nm, 1550 nm), CWDM ITU G.694.2, and DWDM ITU
G.694.1.
You provision and monitor the ILC156 using DIP switches, LEDs, front panel monitor jack, or Artel’s InnityLink
Manager (IL Manager), which is an element management system (for more information, see the
InnityLink Manager Setup and Operations Manual).

diagram of the module.
Figure 1. ILC156M Module Functional Block Diagram
Electrical Inputs and Outputs
The ILC156M uses the following electrical inputs and outputs:
• Six rear panel BNC connectors for channels A to F inputs.

ILC156 Function Modules Installation and Operations Manual 3
Understanding and Using the ILC156M
• Backplane connectors for receiving inputs from other host chassis modules.
• Front-panel monitor jack, which is a 75Ohm HD-BNC connector that allows you to monitor the input
video signals on each channel.
Optical Inputs and Outputs
A single XFP socket provides the optical interface for outputting the aggregated optical signal. The XFP
modules use LC connectors. Optical performance is dependant on the quality of your optical ber and ber
interconnects, and on the selected XFP module, which must be specically qualied by Artel. Consult Artel for
available XFP options.

Understanding and Using the ILC156M
Conguring the ILC156M Module
This section describes how to congure the operation of the ILC156M. You must congure the module while it
is out of the chassis because the conguration switches are mounted to the top of the module printed circuit
board.
Artel ships the ILC156M congured to operate as follows:
• All six channels enabled
• No video detected alarm disabled
• EMS override enabled (IL Manager can change the ILC156M conguration)
• 3G disabled on all inputs
This section contains the following topics:
• Conguring the Video Rate with SW1, SW2, and SW3 (page 5)
• Enabling Channels with DIP Switch SW4 (page 6)
• Conguring Repeater and EMS Features with DIP Switch SW5 (page 7)
Conguring theVideo Rate with SW1, SW2, and SW3
Switches SW1, SW2, and SW3 enable or disable 3G video rate operation for each channel. Each switch controls
the operation of a channel pair. For example, SW1 controls the operation of Channels A and B as follows:
• ON—3G video rate operation is disabled and Channels A and B can independently transmit SD or HD
video.
• OFF—3G video rate operation is enabled and Channel A only can transmit SD, HD, or 3G video.
Channel B is disabled.

ILC156 Function Modules
Installing the ILC156 Module and XFP
The ILC156 and associated XFP are hot swappable, enabling you to safely install them while power is applied
to the host chassis. Before you install the ILC156, see the ILC156 data sheet for a detailed description of the
module specications including environmental requirements that you must adhere to when installing the
module.
Note: This procedure applies to the ILC156M and ILC156D modules, which are double-high function
modules that require two host chassis slots each.
To install the ILC156 in the host chassis (see Figure 6), perform the following steps:
1. From the back of the chassis, determine the two slots that the module is to occupy.
2. Remove the two screws that secure the blank trays to two of the unused function module slots (if
necessary). Use any available function module slots.
3. Slide the ILC156 into the double-high chassis slot using the printed circuit board guide rails on either side
of the slot.
4. Push the ILC156 in until it is rmly seated into the backplane and ush with the chassis.
5. Tighten the two mounting screws that secure the module to the chassis.
Note: Failure to properly secure the ILC156 to the chassis with the two mounting screws can result
in disconnecting the module from the backplane when you attach a cable to the monitor
connector located on the front panel.
6. Install the Artel-approved XFP in the ILC156 with the handle on top as shown in Figure 6. Push the XFP
into the socket located on the right side of the function module until it is rmly seated into the socket.
Note: When you do not install an XFP, the TX LED located on the ILC156 front panel will ash. See
Table 5 (ILC156M) or Table 9 (ILC156D) for other LED status indications.
7. Insert a blank tray in any unused chassis module slots to maintain proper ventilation.

Cabling the ILC156M Module
The ILC156M can receive video network signals over BNC electrical cable connections (see Figure 7) and
optionally from the backplane connector for channels E and F. The ILC156M transmits signals through an
optical XFP. The cabling conguration that you use depends on your application.
Figure 7. ILC156M BNC Connectors and XFP Socket
Cabling theVideo Input BNC Connections
Use a high quality 75Ohm precision video coax cable, such as Belden 1694A cable, when cabling to the
ILC156M BNC connectors to the video source devices.
Cabling the XFP Connections
Use a single mode ber when connecting to the LC connectors of the ILC156M XFP.
To cable the optical connections, perform the following tasks:
1. Remove the XFP safety plug that protects the TX port. Cover the unused RX optical port to keep the port
clean.
2. Connect the ber optic cable between the XFP transmit optical connector (TX) on the ILC156M and the
destination video device.
Monitoring the ILC156M Module Operation
This section describes how to monitor the ILC156M operations using the front and rear panel LEDs and the
front panel monitor connector.
This section contains the following topics:
• Understanding the ILC156M Status LEDs (page 10)
• Using the ILC156M Monitor Jack (page 12)
Understanding the ILC156M Status LEDs
