RGN-3GSF card
This document provides technical information about the RGN-3GSF 2.7 Gb/s multi-protocol dual
transponder card, and procedures for installing, configuring, operating, and troubleshooting the card.
Functional description
The RGN-3GSF card is temperature hardened and hosts up to four pluggable SFP modules for economical
dense mounting. It can be configured to be one or two 4-port transponders, or up to four 2-port regenerators.
The RGN-3GSF provides alarm relay contacts, and status and configuration access via a faceplate graphic
display, touch pad controls, and LEDs.
As part of the Optelian suite of products, the card mounts in any active shelf and can be configured and
managed as a standalone device, or via the Optelian shelf or network management software. For managed
operation (installed a shelf with a management card), use the Optelian shelf manager (OSM) or Optelian
network manager (ONM) to configure, manage, monitor and troubleshoot the card.
Faceplate features
As shown in Figure 1, the RGN-3GSF card has the following faceplate features: card power and alarm
LEDs, configuration display and keypad function keys, four SFP ports, and transmit (P1, P3, P5, P7) and
receive (P2, P4, P6, P8) port LEDs for each SFP.

Applications
The RGN-3GSF regenerator/transponder holds up to four pluggable SFP modules to support bandwidth
provisioning, reach extension, and interface conversion applications. SFPs can be configured as separate
regenerators - where each SFP functions as an independent 2-port signal regenerator - or paired as
transponders - where two SFPs function as 4-port bidirectional signal regenerators.

Safety information
The following safety information must be observed whenever optical products are installed, operated, or
serviced.
Electrostatic discharge precaution
WARNING: Wear a properly grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap when handling equipment,
cards, and pluggable transceivers.
Electrical precautions
• Use Optelian equipment only in accordance with its electrical power rating.
• Install Optelian equipment in compliance with local and national electrical codes.
• Properly ground Optelian equipment before operating it.
Optical precautions
Invisible laser radiation that may be hazardous to the eye is emitted from fiber optical cable, optical
transceivers, and laser ports. To maximize safety when handling or operating Optelian equipment, follow
the safety precautions described in this section.
Always turn off any laser sources before you inspect fiber
connectors or optical components. Never look into the end of an optical cable, fiber, or connector.
Always inspect the connectors or adapters before you
clean. Never connect a fiber to a fiberscope while the system lasers are on.
Always inspect and clean the connectors before you make
a connection. Never touch the end face of the fiber connectors.
Always use the connector housing to plug or unplug a
fiber. Never twist or pull forcefully on the fiber cable.
Always keep the protective cap on unplugged fiber
connectors. Never leave a connector ferrule uncapped.
Always store unused protective caps in a container that
can be resealed and keep them near the connectors for
easy access.
Never touch the clean area of a lint-free swab or
cartridge cleaner.
Always discard used lint-free swabs properly. Never use unfiltered handheld magnifiers or focusing
optics to inspect fiber connectors.

Installing and removing the card and modules
The RGN-3GSF is a single-width card that requires one shelf slot for installation. When the installation
environment requires the card to operate within the normal temperature range (-5°C to 55°C [23°F to
131°F]), the card can be installed in any Optelian mounting platform. When the installation environment
requires the card to operate within the extended temperature range (-40°C to 65°C [-40°F to 149°F]), the
card must be installed in an OMS-2190 mounting platform.
Table 3: Supported shelf type based on operating temperature
Installing the card and SFP modules
1. Pull firmly on the latches and ensure they are in the open position.
2. Insert the card into a valid slot, and push gently until the card engages with the backplane:
• OMS-2190 or OMS-219: slots 2 to 4
• OMS-7190, OMS-719 or OMS-519: slots 1 to 13
Note: The card can be installed in a powered shelf.

3. With the card fully seated, push on the latches to close them. A click should be heard and felt.
4. Install the SFP modules as follows:
a. Remove the SFP from the packaging, and ensure it matches your network configuration
(wavelength, reach, data rate, power level) by checking the part number label against the SFP
specifications in the Optelian Pluggable Modules Product Guide (document number 3019-4100).
Note: When the installation environment requires the card to operate within the extended temperature
range (-40°C to 65°C [-40°F to 149°F]), the card must be populated with SFP modules that support this
temperature range.
b. Ensure that all optical surfaces are clean, and that the SFP release latch is in the closed position.
c. Align the SFP with the faceplate port such that the connector is facing toward the port LEDs (see
Figure 3), and insert it until the SFP engages with the port cage.
d. Connect the LC patchcords.
e. Repeat steps a. to d. for the remaining SFP module.
