The Light Link ® Series 2 return path quad receiver (RPQR) incorporates four or eight independent optical return path receivers that operate at any wavelength between 1300 and 1610 nm. This unit also suits CWDM and DWDM applications.
The user can set each receiver individually for operation in either manual gain control (MGC) mode or automatic gain control (AGC) mode. In AGC mode the receiver employs a 4.5 MHz pilot detection to maintain its constant gain. There is also an FSK demodulator option, which allows for complete field node status monitoring. This feature can automatically detect the type of connected field node, being an ODN4P, ODN2P, ODN1315, AMCP1315, PBN-DN1, CPON, or any other compatible optical node.
Comprehensive status monitoring of each receiver within the RPQR is available via the front panel user interface. The RPQR extracts the field node data, including its own operational parameters for display on the front panel user interface and through the NMS3 network manager. This allows complete supervision of the connected optical field nodes. The status is reported through the network management system. |
