Introduction

SFPTotal team researching issues of compatibility fiber optical transceivers with network switching equipment. The team develops tools, devices and software for programming fiber-optic transceievers, including ethernet transceivers and AOC / DAC, of popular form-factors SFP, SFP+, SFP28, GBIC, XFP, QSFP, QSFP+, QSFP28. Programming boards are designed to solve the main problems that arise in the practice of Internet service providers, suppliers of network equipment and system integrators in the process of working with optical transceivers and switching equipment, and requiring reprogramming of transceivers.

The devices support a special protocol that allows access to all address spaces of the transceiver, as well as instructions for programming transceivers with write protection.

Programming boards

1. SFPTotal PG (production completed, warranty expired)
2. SFPTotal Mini
3. SFPTotal Plus

Application

The SFPTotal programmers can be used to solve the following tasks:

• Programming transceivers, AOC / DAC cables
• Ensuring compatibility between network equipment of different manufacturers
• Reprogramming write-protected transceivers using passwords or scripts
• Changing PHY controller settings
• Rebranding for OEM transceivers
• Diagnosis of the transceiver by reading DDM

User Guide

To use the programming boards you will need software SFPTotal Wizard or specific software based on SFPTotal protocol. Read the User Guide and get to know more about basic features and opportunities before using the programmer.
