Using the TelePort 3G Optical Measurement Display
The optical measurement functionality is similar across all three types of TelePort 3G. A
transceiver, transmitter and receiver work identically with one exception. The system
reports fiber optical strength only for fiber optic signals received at a unit. Transmission
strength is not measured.
TelePort 3G Optical Measurement Display
The TelePort 3G optical signal strength display has characteristics for the TelePort 3G
Transmitter, Receiver, and Transceiver.
The Channel Select switch is a dual function switch:
• Flicking to the right allows scrolling through the individual channels to provide basic
status on the signal.
• Flicking to the left provides additional information about the current channel.
Fig. 4-1: Flicking the CHAN SEL switch
Scroll through the signal channels by flicking the switch to the right. The system reports on
the installed SDI channels and the installed fiber channels being transmitted by the unit.
In a 8 x8 Transceiver, the CHAN SEL switch will display the eight Transmit channels, first
followed by the eight Receive Channels.
After the last channel, the display will show the current ambient temperature within the
unit chassis in degrees Celsius.
After each flick, the display will indicate the monitored channel such as TPx01 or TPx02. For
each TX channel, you can flick the switch to the left to display Technical Information about
the channel. Receive Channels are not monitored in the TelePort 3G unit.
