LambdaDriver 10 Gbps Dual Transponder Module

The TM2-XFP Dual Transponder module is a single slot module that incorporates 4 independent XFP based 10 Gbps ports with intelligent port interconnection functionality. The flexible configuration options permit pairing any- to-any port to form a dual 10 Gbps transponder in one module.

An additional option is to use the module in a port protection mode, in which case the traffic of one port is normally forwarded to a second port defined as primary port and in case of failure of the primary destination port the traffic will be relayed to a second port defined as secondary.

The ports can be confi gured to operate in the 10 Gbps Ethernet protocol or at the OC-192 data rate in full-duplex mode with Link Integrity Notifi cation (LIN) and LoopBack capability.

LIN notifi es terminal equipment of link failure by cutting off laser power on the access side whenever no power is received from the WDM side, and vice versa. Loopback is used to test the integrity of the data path of an individual port and its internal circuitry by returning the received data back to the transmitting device at the tested interface.

As part of the LambdaDriver Optical Transport System the TM2-XFP can be managed via the management module installed in the LambdaDriver either locally via a Serial/RS-232 connection or remotely via TELNET or SNMP. Per-port front panel LEDs indicate XFP and link presence or absence.
