Connections
The backplane module EDFA-C1 has 3 connectors (GPI, RX and TX) and a lid covering the
optical ports.
To connect or disconnect fiber patch cords to the optical ports, the lid must be opened. This
is done by unscrewing the thumb screw and lifting the lid up. Even though opening the lid
automatically disables the EDFA, we recommend always disabling the EDFA by turning the
key before opening the lid.
The RX port is on the right, TX on the left.
The third port (to the left of the thumb screw) is the GPI port, with pinout as described in
chapter 4.3.
