SFPTotal Mini HW 1.1

Programmer SFPTotal Mini allows to reprogram the SFP and SFP+ transceivers, and designed to address the main problems that arise in practice of Internet service providers, network equipment vendors and system integrators in the process of working with optical transceivers and switching equipment, and require reprogramming of transceivers.

Device is a fully compatibleaccording SFF-8074

The SFPTotal Mini 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+ 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

  1. Connect SFPTotal Mini board to your PC using micro USB Type B cable
  2. Install drivers for SFPTotal Mini
  3. Download application SFPTotal Wizard
  4. Start SFPTotal Wizard
  5. Insert transceiver to the programmer port
  6. Reading transceiver's memory

Control elements

LED indications

  • POWER lights up when device is connected to PC.
  • STATUS flashes when the power is on and device waiting for connection transceiver to the SFP port. When transceiver is connected, STATUS led is constantly light up.
  • ERROR constantly lights up when device works with error or freezes.
  • TX_ENA lights up when the transmitter contacts connected to power supply.
  • RX_ENA lights up when the receiver contacts connected to power supply.

Jumpers

  • TX turns transmitter power
  • RX turns receiver power
  • Сontact closure LPMODE disables low-power mode (transmitter disabled).
  • Сontact closure RS0 and RS1 pull up appropriate contacts of transceiver to the ground.

Software

To operate the device, use the software SFPTotal Wizard version 1.0.2.3 or older.

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 Mini.

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
