2306LR/2307LR
Miniature L-Band/Wideband Fiber Optic Receiver
Revision 1.0 Page-1
1. OVERVIEW
The 2306LR/2307LR is a fiber optic receiver in a revolutionary from a factor. With the same diameter as
a BNC connector, and overall length of 3.3” (85mm), the 2306LR/2307LR is the smallest RF optical
receiver in the industry. It accepts an optical LC connector input on one end, and provides an electrical
output on the other.
The 2306LR/2307LR attaches to the input of a device without any intermediate cabling required. This
essentially offers direct optical input to the connected piece of equipment, without incurring the cost and
rack space associated with using conventional optical receivers. The primary application is in providing
direct optical inputs to XRF series routers, without requiring external fiber receiver cards.
The 2306LR/2307LR receives its power form the same connector that attaches to the input of the
companion device, therefore the 2306LR/2307LR may also interfaced to any device that provides LNB
voltage at its RF input connector. For example, when connected to a 7703DA16-RF-LNB, a fiber
receiver with 16 electrical outputs is created. A 2306LR/2307LR connected to the input of a 7703PA-
LNB results in a fiber receiver with a high-powered output and adjustable slope compensation. The
2306LR/2307LR may also be connected to the DC-biased inputs of devices such as IRD’s, facilitating
direct optical input via high-performance optical infrastructure.
Features and Benefits
•Compact, efficient form factor provides fiber receiver functionality in zero rack space
•Provides high-quality, direct optical input to XRF series routers and other devices with DC
biased RF input ports
•Wide frequency range for L-Band, over-the-air DTV and other applications
•Tri-color LED optical input strength indicator
•Efficient design featuring high reliability and low power consumption
•Protocol independent-passes any modulation format
•Minimizes the use of coax in the infrastructure, providing the highest possible quality signals
over longer distances and without high-frequency roll off
•Compatible with Evertz 2408LT, 7708LT and 7807LT-2 series fiber transmitters
Applications
•Direct optical inputs to XRF routers
•Direct optical inputs to IRD’s and other devices with LNB bias
•Distribution amplifiers with optical input
•Line amps/slope compensators with optical input

2. INSTALLATION
The 2306LR and 2307LR can be connected to the input of a device directly without any intermediate
cabling required.
It can be connected to each Evertz product that has LNB option.

4. STATUS INDICATOR
There is one small module status LED at the end of the module that indicates the general status of
module.
MODULE OK: The LED will be Orange if the module is connected and work properly.
MODULE FAULT: The LED will be OFF if the LNB is off or the module doesn’t work properly.
Different LED colors indicate the fiber input thresholds as well as LNB indications. (Table 4-1 and Table
4-2)

Input
Orange
The LED is Orange when there is an input which is less than lower
threshold. (<-15)
Blue
The LED is Blue when there is an input signal which is within the lower
and upper thresholds. (-15 to 0)
Red
The LED is Red when there is an input signal which is more than
upper threshold. (>0)

5. SMARTMONTM (2307LR ONLY)
The 2307LR sends SmartMONTM monitoring and configuration status information down the fiber for
viewing locally at an Evertz SmartMONTM–capable fiber optic receiver and remotely via
SNMP/VistaLINK.
RF input signal, configuration status and other operating parameters are relayed over fiber for
monitoring by an Evertz SmartMONTM–capable fiber optic receiver. With such a receiver, this
information can be monitored locally at the receiver card-edge, or remotely through SNMP and
VistaLINK.

SmartMON works with XRF router by using XRF-IP16LB input card with +SM
option activated.
There is no need to separate data connections and it uses the same fiber that carries RF signals.
On VLPro, on Input settings, under control tab, on LNB mode 1, the user should turn on LNB by
choosing 18V (Figure 5-1).
After setting the LNB to 18V, the 2307LR Tone 1 will be changed to present and the 2307LR LED will
turn on.

Figure 5-1: Setting LNB to 18V
On SmartMONTM tab on VLPro (Figure 5-2), the user can read a lot of information such as:
RF input power, DC input level, Gain/LNB settings, Laser status, LNB current, internal temperature.
It also alarms thresholds for LNB current, RF input power and temperature.
