SFPTotal Plus
SFPTotal Plus - the new version of four-ports programming board, replacement for programmers PG series. Programmer SFPTotal Plus allows to reprogram the GBIC, SFP, SFP+, XFP and QSFP transceivers and direct attach cables (DAC).
The hardware platform is based on SFPTotal Mini with added extensions to transceiver ports. For working with GBIC, XFP, and QSFP transceivers included the additional power plans, as well as control elements.
The SFPTotal Plus connects to PC via USB interface through which performed control and power supply of transceiver. To connect a high-power transceivers can be used by external power adapter 5V DC.
Application
Programmers SFPTotal are used to solve next tasks:
- Programming SFP/SFP+, XFP, QSFP, GBIC optical transceivers and twinaxial cables
- Providing of compatibility between network equipment of different manufacturers
- Reflashing memory of write-protected transceivers
- Changing settings of PHY controllers
- Branding for OEM transceivers
- Diagnosis transceiver by reading the DDM
- Accounting for optical transceivers
Quick start
- Connect SFPTotal Plus board to your PC using micro USB Type B cable
- Install drivers for SFPTotal Device
- Download application SFPTotal Wizard
- Start SFPTotal Wizard
- Insert transceiver to the programmer port
- Reading transceiver's memory
Command line interface
The device provides access to the command line interface by connecting through a virtual serial port. You can use the programming board without SFPTotal Wizard software to get more features or to realize the opportunities that are not available in the standard software.
Use this document to get information about commands which supported by SFPTotal Plus.
Commands
- CLI
The command switches the echo output of command line. Default, CLI=0.
CLI CLI=0
- STATUS
Returns current state GPIO of SFP transceiver.
STATUS MOD_ABS=0; TX_FAULT=1; RX_LOS=0; TX_DIS=0
TX_DIS
Command allows to disable power supply of transmitter for switching to low power mode (LPMODE). To activate the LPMODE, it is necessary to transfer command TX_DIS setting the flag value of 1.
To disable the mode, you must set the flag equal to 0. The current state can be requested with STATUS command.
TX_DIS=1 STATUS MOD_ABS=0; TX_FAULT=1; RX_LOS=0; TX_DIS=1 TX_DIS=0 STATUS MOD_ABS=0; TX_FAULT=1; RX_LOS=0; TX_DIS=0
Low power mode is activated for default. On the PCB of SFPTotal Mini board are placed contacts LP_MODE, which allows to switch low power mode in manual mode.
- VERSION
Command returns information about device: hardware revision, software version and unique serial number of the device.
VERSION SFPTotal Mini (c) 2015-2016 HW: 1.1 SW: 1.0.5 SN: SFPT-M1116021001

- wXYYAABBCC (WXYYAABBCC)
Command for writing to the memory of transceiver.
w — (1 byte) — Write command. Symbol register is responsible for the subsequent read after write. If you use uppercase (W) after the recording is complete programmer will make reading the memory area which has been overwritten. To write without return a write result of lower case (w) must be used.
X — (1 byte) — Transceiver type (1 - SFP, 2 - SFP+).
YY — (2 bytes) — The device address on the I2C bus.
AA — (2 bytes) — Address of additional table.
BB — (2 bytes) — Address table. Value in HEX. For example: A0 or A2.
СС — (2 bytes) — Write byte count. Hexadecimal value reduced by one. For example, for writing 128 bytes you should set this parameter in 7F (0x7F in HEX, 127 in decimal).
{DATA} — Write data in HEX, 2 characters for each byte of the parcel.
Examples
Write code 128 bytes in Table A0 Upper address 00 for SFP transceiver:
W1A000007F 03040720000000000000000667000A64000000004F454D202020202020202020 0020202000000000313047422D5346502D4C522D45202020312E3020051E00F9 001A000045585039364C30313120202020202020313130383039202068F00302 45585452454D45204C5200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Write password 0123 (HEX: 30h 31h 32h 33h) in Table A2 address 7B for SFP+ transceiver:

Note: Write command should type without newline characters and spaces. Shifts are given for the convenience display of the material in the examples.
- I2CRATE
Note: Supported only on the SW versions 1.1.0 or above
This command sets the speed of I2C data bus.
I2CRATE=12 # Set up speed rate 100 kHz I2CRATE=40 # Set up speed 30 kHz I2CRATE=C6 # Set up speed 10 kHz
To request a current speed use command: ? I2CRATE
? I2CRATE I2CRATE=C6
- AUTO_WR_ADDTBL
Note: Supported only on the SW versions 1.1.0 or above
If the flag is set, the programmer will automatically change the address of the additional tables before performing reading and writing operations.
AUTO_WR_ADDTBL=1 AUTO_WR_ADDTBL=0
To request a current value use command: ? AUTO_WR_ADDTBL
? AUTO_WR_ADDTBL AUTO_WR_ADDTBL=0
