1. Introduction
The FO SERIAL is a fibre optic modem with different DTE interface X21/V11, V35, V28.
1.1. DTE Interface
The FO modem can be equipped with different types of interface:
X21/V11 or V35 interface: for synchronous data transmission at speed of up to 8192 KBPS. Clock can be configured as internal, external or
slaved. Most interface signals can be forced or activated when the connection is established.
V28 interface: for synchronous data transmission at speed up to 128000 Bps, for asynchronous data up to 115200 Bps. In synchronous
mode clock can be configured as internal, external, or slaved. Most interface signals can be forced or activated when the connection is
established.
1.2. Conditioning
The FO Serial modem can meet all integration requirements either as a desktop or rack-mount unit with different power-supply configurations
Internal 24-48 VDC converter: the modem includes a 24-48 VDC power converter, which can be connected to a 48Vdc supply commonly
available in telecom centers.
Rack-mountable card: the 5 VDC required by the modem is supplied by the rack in which the card is inserted. The AMS 4, AMS 8 and AMS
16 chassis can be powered from 110/230 VAC or 48 VDC depending on the type of power module installed with provision for full redundancy
1.3. Configuration
The FO Serial modem is configured via the serial control port set for VT100 emulation at 19200 BPS with data format of 8 bits, parity none.
The configuration is menu driven with on line help facilities. Only a few keyboard strokes will be required to set and save the FO parameters.
These menus also initiate analog and digital test loops and display a status report and a bit error rate statistics.
Alternatively the modem can be configured using an AT command set which provides access to all modem parameters.
The FO card can also be configured by the CFIP controller card of the AMS16 chassis though its local VT100 mode or TCP-IP Telnet and SNMP
management protocols
2. FIBRE OPTIC link
The FO modem supports two different fibre optic type : multi-mode or single mode fibre.
2.1. Multi-mode Fibre
This is the classic fibre optic cabling, the most commonly installed core is 62.5 micrometers and outer cladding size is 125 micrometers. The
modem’s components are compatible with 62.5 and 50 micrometers core.
In multi-mode fibre, the FO uses two different wavelengths the 820 nanometer and 1300 nanometer. These wavelengths allow distance up to 8
kms between two FO.
In multi-mode fibre at 820 nanometers, the modal dispersion is not negligible, but the limit is greater than the fibre attenuation.
The attenuation of the beam is more important in the 820 nanometer than in the 1300 nanometer.
All the calculation of the budget and fibre distance is described in the next paragraph.
Typically the multi-mode fibre is orange.
2.2. Single-mode Fibre
Single-mode fibre uses a smaller core diameter of 9 micrometer and the cladding size is also 125 micrometer.
In single-mode fibre the FO supports also two different wavelength component, the first is 1310 nanometer and the second is 1550 nanometer.
The attenuation is close to the theoretical attenuation at 1550 nanometer.
Typically the single-mode fibre is yellow.
2.3. Calculation of the Budget and Fibre Distance
The FO is defined by the DTE Interface and the Fibre Optic Budget at the different wavelength.
The Fibre Budget is the difference between the receiver sensitivity and the transmitter power.
On each wavelength, fibre attenuation per kilometre is defined.
Between the two FO there are some connectors and splices.
The connector attenuation is 1 dB, and splice attenuation is 0.05 dB.
A buffer is added into the calculation ( 2 dB ).
Distance = (Fibre Budget) – (Splice Loss) – (Connector Loss) – Buffer
(Fibre Attenuation)
Example: In multimode fibre at 820 nm the attenuation is 3dBm/km, with two connectors (2 dB) and one splice (0.05 dB), the Fibre Budget of FO
8000-M8 is 15 dB.
Distance = 15 – 0.05 – 2 – 2 = 3.6 km (with margin)
3
Example: In single mode 1310 nm attenuation is 0.3 dBm/km and the FO 8000-SL budget is 23 dB Distance = 14 - 0.05 – 2 – 2 = 33 km
0.3

Instruction manual FO SERIAL
Page 7
This calculation is realized with the above values, but the actual loss in the fibre is better measured once the fibre is installed, generally it is
impossible to know the number of connectors and splices.

5. Operation and Configuration
This chapter describes the FO Serial operation through its Control port.
The FO Serial must be connected to a VT100 compatible terminal or to a PC running a VT100 terminal emulation software that should be
configured as follows:
Speed: 19200 bps
Data format: 8 bits
Parity: none
Stop bit: 1
Emulation: VT100
Flow control: none
The FO configuration can be made either in AT command mode or VT100 Interactive menu mode. The choice of mode is automatic: the AT
command mode is activated when an “AT” or ”at” character string is received from the control port. The VT100 menu mode is started when the
modem detects three consecutive carriage returns or “ENTER” characters.
The use of the VT100 mode offers valuable advantages such as simplicity and on line help.
The use of the AT commands allows writing configuration programs which can be saved out of the unit on a PC for instance and can also be
protected with a password.
All the FO operation parameters can be modified and saved in either mode.
The detail of the AT command is described in another document. ( Ref CXR : 8000 601 836 )
5.1. Configuration Software MxCfg
The configuration software Mxcfg allows:
•See the current configuration of FO
•Modify the parameters
•Save the new parameters
•The all the parameters in a file on your Laptop
•View the diags
Mxcfg run under Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP.
To install Mxcfg, type “a:\Setup.exe” on the floppy disk or “\tools\french\mxcfg\setup.exe" on the CDROM.
For more information, or in case of problem see the help file (Button Help or the F1 touch).
5.2. Factory and User Configurations
The FO has 4 user definable configurations and one read-only factory configuration.
The configuration process consists in setting up the FO parameters for the application and then saving these parameters in the user memory.
The active configuration must then be defined; it is activated even after a power shut-off.
Chapter 7 describes the various memories used by the unit.
