1.0 PRODUCT OVERVIEW AND FEATURES
1.1 Description
Lindsay Broadband LB-1000-OSW is an Optical Switch module designed as an integral part of
the high density LB-1000 Headend system. The LB-1000-OSW optical switch is used to switch
between A/B optical signals provided with both automatic and manual switching functions and
characterized by simple and convenient operation. It can be widely used for systems requiring
optical signal control, switching and redundant backup. It accepts a wide range of optical
wavelength (1300 to 1620nm) and optical input power (-22 to +22dBm). All module parameters
can be monitored and configured through the LB-1000-CM system management module using
the touch screen or by using the PC (Web GUI or SNMP agent).
1.2 Features
•Wide optical input wavelength range: 1300nm to 1620nm
•Wide optical input power range: -22dBm to +22dBm
•Hot-swappable capability
•Optical input power monitoring and display
•RF state monitoring and switching based on both RF and optical detection
•Automatic and manual switching modes
•Optical threshold for switching can be adjusted
•Can select either port as primary
•Revert control on/off selectable in case primary port restored
•Can monitor and configure functioning parameters using LB-1000-CM

2.0 SAFETY NOTES
Failure to comply with these safety precautions and with the general or specific safety
precautions described elsewhere in the LB-1000 series manual violates the safety standards of
the design, manufacture, and intended use of the device. Lindsay Broadband Inc. assumes no
liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these precautions.
•Invisible optical radiation is emitted from fiber optic connectors which connects to this
LB-1000-OSW, exposure can cause permanent injury to eyes.
•Avoid direct exposure to the laser light source.
•Never stare directly into a fiber or at any mirror-like surface that could reflect light
emitted from an un-terminated fiber.
•Never view an active fiber through optical instruments.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the touchscreen LCD, please do not tap it with anything sharp or
apply excessive pressure to it with your fingertips. It is recommended to use fingers when using
the touch screen LCD.
CAUTION: Do not operate the chassis outside of its maximum ratings. Doing so may result in
unsatisfactory performance, unit failure, shortened unit life span, or a safety hazard.
NO SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

4.0 INSTALLATION
Application modules of LB-1000 can be installed in any of the general slots of the rack. Module
is inserted into the rack from the front part.
1) Gently insert the LB-1000 application module into any general slot (labelled 01 to 18)
from the front of the chassis. Be careful to align the metal guide rails on the top and
bottom of the module to the chassis housing.
2) Using the handle completely push the application module into the slot. Once the
module is completely inserted into the slot, the latch on the bottom of the module will
lock into place with the LB-1000 chassis securing the module in the rack. Ensure that
the application module is securely connected to the LB-1000-CH rear panel and F-
connectors. The application module will be automatically power “ON”. The Status
LED on the front of the module will turn ON and the module will show up on the
control module screen or web interface.
Figure 3: LB-1000 application module installation
3) If the module hasn’t been properly connected to the LB-1000-CH it will not power up
and status LED will be OFF. In such a case, remove the application module from LB-
1000-CH slot and reinsert carefully as described in steps 1 and 2 above. See below
step for safely removing the module.
4) To remove the application module from the slot, press down on the latch located in
the bottom front of the module. The application module will unlock from the LB-1000-
CH rack and module can be removed.
5) Carefully clean all the fiber optic connectors and jumper cables. Use appropriate
cleaning swabs for fiber optic cables and connectors. Check for

contamination/blemish on the fiber cable and connector with a fiber inspecting
microscope. Ensure the fiber optic connectors and jumper cables are clean.
6) Ensure optical jumper connectors are matched properly to the device adapters. (i.e.
SC/APC to SC/APC). Using mismatched connectors will damage the connectors and
degrade system performance. Ensure that each fiber has a matching connector.
7) Use an optical power meter to verify that the optical input power level to the Optical
Switch is within the specification (-22 to +22dBm for this Switch). You can now
connect the Optical fiber to the OPT IN connector(s) on the front panel.
8) Also, you can now connect the Optical fiber to the OPT OUT connector on the front
panel. Use an optical power meter to verify that the optical output power level is
within the specification.
9) Using the touch screen or web interface via LB-1000-CM the operating parameters
for the application module can be monitored and adjusted. Operating parameters
and adjustments on the LB-1000-OSW are explained in the Section 5.0.

A Low Limit + / -
Set the low threshold level for switching of channel A. Low limit threshold
determines the optical level when automatic switching occurs based on optical
input.
B Low Limit + / -
Set the low threshold level for switching of channel B. Low limit threshold
determines the optical level when automatic switching occurs based on optical
input.
Revert Control ON /
OFF
If Revert Control is ON, then the output will automatically switch to main input
channel (prior output channel) when main channel is back to normal operation.
If Revert Control is OFF, then the output doesn’t automatically switch back to
main input channel even when the main channel is back to normal operation.
RF Switch ON / OFF
If RF Switch is ON, then automatic switching will occur not only because of
optical channel level, but also due to the RF status on the optical channel.
Whenever there is an alarm on RF State of the channel, switching is triggered.
If RF Switch is OFF, then automatic switching is only because of optical channel
status (RF status doesn’t play a part here).
RF A State
Shows the status of RF level on channel A. Important for RF switching.
