iSPY - Hardware

• Chassis

• Controller

• Laser

• Optical Power Monitor

• 1xN Switch

• 1x2, 1x4 Switch

• OTDR

15

Chassis

• Hot Swappable Modules plug into back-plane

• -48 VDC / 100-240 VAC

• Communications via RS-232 or Ethernet

• Daisy chain multiple chassis (RS-485)

• 3U, 4U, 5U, 8U sizes

16

Controller

• Provides communication between user and modules

• Controls operations of all modules through chassis back-plane

• Communications via RS-232 or Ethernet

• Control through TL1, or GUI

17

iVAM 1550 nm Laser Source

• 1550 nm stable laser source

• Single mode

• -15 dBm power output after 1x16 splitter

• Reaches over 180 Km

18

1xN OTAU

• OTAU is a Telcordia term for Optical Test Access Unit

• 1 x N or Dual 1 x N switch (1x4 to 1x130)

• Plugs into back-plane, controlled by controller module

• Switch between test fibers and test equipment

• Leverage OTDR over many circuits

19

Remote OTDR

• Remote operation

• Plugs into back-plane

• One slot space

• 1310, 1550, 1625 nm

• 35-41.5 dB dynamic range

20

Optical Power Monitor (OPM)

• 4 and 8 channels

• Monitors power levels

• Able to set thresholds

• Alarms

• Range: +3 to -50 dBm (other ranges available)

• +/- 0.02 dB resolution

• +/- 0.2 dB accuracy

• 850, 1310, or 1550 nm Multimode and Singlemode

• NEBs qualified

21

iSPY - Software

• Monitoring

• Testing

22

Monitoring

• Real-time monitoring

– Optical power measurements every 250 msec.

• Set minor and major alarm thresholds

• Stores minimum and maximum power levels

• View current power level on any fiber

• Monitoring by dedicated power monitor modules

– Maximizes OTDR life

– OTDR used for fault location

• Stores alarm history

iSPY System Software

• Multiple user administration levels

– Each user has unique login and password

– Administrator – full rights for user and system setup

– User - read-only, receive alarms, launch traces

• Alarm history log

– Stores all link status alarms and failures

– Stores both time of alarm and return to normal

• Auto calibration

– The server performs a regular system calibration

– Calibrates laser changes over time, temperature variations on fiber, etc.

• Communication assurance

– System sends a Heart Beat signal from server to all modules

• Power failure alarm

– Power failure alarm via dry-relay contacts

32

iSPY System Software

• Client-Server Architecture

• Client and Server software run on Windows, Linux,

Sun, Mac (anything that supports Java 1.5)

• Software can run on an existing server/computers

• Server uses 112 MB and client uses 105 MB

• Unlimited number of users

• HSQLDB database

• Hibernate ORM mapping allows mapping to other

databases
