Optical Solutions FiberPath 500 Installation and operating manual

The FiberPath 500 System meets or exceeds the FSAN standard for distance of 20 km and optical
loss of 25 dB.
FiberPath Optical Plant Specifications
The FiberPath system must adhere to certain optical specifications. Any optical plant has inherent
loss characteristics and with these losses certain optical levels must be met. The information
found below can be used to help with the turn-up and troubleshooting process.
NOTE: Verify all optical power levels before connections are made. If excessive loss
is noted, the use of an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) may be
required. Also, clean all optical connections when handling them. Use proper
cleaning techniques to ensure minimal throughput losses.
Table 1 depicts the expected optical transmit and receive windows for the FiberPath 500 system.
These readings are measured with an optical power meter at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The
assumed optical output of the GPON is 1 dBm @1550 nm; VPON output is 20 dBm @ 1550 nm.
NOTE: The GPON actually operates at 1490 nm however optical power meters capable
of measurements at this wavelength may not be readily available.

FiberPoint Electrical Connections
During the installation process, the DC power cable must be run into the house and terminated
at the UPS. Table 3 shows the color coding for the power cable:

FiberPoint Data Testing
When using DHCP, ensure that you release the IP address you are using before disconnecting
from the FiberPoint.
To Release the IP Address, at the command prompt, type the following:
c:\>IPCONFIG /RELEASE
NOTE: In the above string, there is a space after the IPCONFIG command.
FiberPoint 502/504/522/524 Indicators
A properly installed FiberPoint will go through a sequence of operation as follows (see Table 5):
• A Lamp test will occur to verify all LEDS work (all LEDs will illuminate)
• After a two second delay, the Power LED will illuminate and stay on.
• The CPU light will also come on and begin blinking indicating the processor in the
FiberPoint is functioning properly and is ready to transmit and receive information.
• The TRANS LED will come on and begin blinking as the unit begins its ranging
function. Once ranging is complete, the TRANS LED should stay on continuously.
Table 5: MOD-FP-502/504/522/524 LED Status
MOD-FP-502/504/522/524 LED Status
AGC Blink: The video signal is too high
On: The Automatic Gain Control is functioning and providing output power in the
specified range
Off: The output power is out of range
LINK On: Ethernet Port has a connection
Off: No Ethernet connection is present
CPU Blink: The processor is loaded and operating (heartbeat)
On: The processor is not operating properly
Off: The processor is not operating properly
OFF HK On: One or more of the POTS lines are off-hook
Off: No POTS lines are being used
TRANS Blink: The FiberPoint has downstream sync and is currently attempting to “range”
(sync up) on the upstream
On: The FiberPoint has ranged (upstream and downstream) and is communicating
with the HeadEnd
Off: The FiberPoint has not accomplished downstream sync and has quit trying to
“range”
PWR On: 3.3 VDC is appliced to the MOD-FP-502/504/522/524
Off: Power is off or the supply is not functional

A properly installed FP 560’s sequence of operation is as follows (see Table 6):
• A Lamp test will occur to verify all LEDS work (all LEDs will illuminate)
• After a two second delay, the Power LED will illuminate and stay on.
