If you do not setup the super terminal, follow the steps.
1. Click “ start menu program accessorycommunicationsuper terminal”;
2. Display the page:
（图 2）
Then you input your connector name, such as SNMP38400”，and choose the serial port to connect with your
equipment. As follows;
（图 3）
Push the “OK” button; show the allocation page of serial port. As follows;
（图 4）
Change the serial port configuration to 38400-baud rate, 1 stop bit, no number control, no data control,(map 4),
push the “OK” key, you have set up the Windows serial port super terminal. (map 5):

（图 5）
You can click “ filesave” menu to save this configuration of super terminal for latter using.
6.3 Operating Parameter Configuration
Under the condition of power off, use the serial port lines to connect the RS232 port with the computer port. Open
the Windows super terminal, which you have setup. Then turn on the power, you will see the page as follows, at
this time, you push the “Enter” key to the boot program. Boot program is like the PC’BIOS setting program.
Generally speaking, users do not have to enter the boot program to configure the parameter, so we have to set the
password to avoid damaging the properly configuration.
(图 6)
Skip the boot program and the application program begins as follows:
（图 7）
You can input your command in this page, and then configure the operating parameter of the application program.
System support the following orders:
help List the system internal order
ethcfg Configure Ethernet operating parameter
settrap Configure the aim host IP address of the SNMP Trap’
community Configure the SNMP group name
entplogo Configure LOGO information
Specific using as follows
help
This order shows current application program version, program name and the list of the system’ internal orders as
follows:
（图 8）
you can use the “help” order to show other orders’ help information, such as “help ethcfg”，ethcfg’s help
information appear as follows:
8
（图 9）
ethcfg
This order configures the Ethernet parameter, including IP address, subnet mask and net gateway. You can
reference the help information.
settrap
this order shows or modifies the SNMP devil to IP address lists
settrap –l order display, settrap –m order modify; as follows:
（图 10）
IP address of [Link] and [Link] don’t exist. SNMP devil does not send these two address.
community
This order configures the read-only group name and read-write group name. “Group name” is the concept of
SNMP agreement like the password. Use the order “community ro” to configure the read-only, and“community
rw” for the read-write. For example, input “community rw public”，“public” is the read-write group name.
entplogo
This order modifies the product’s LOGO information which is the model number series of factory showed in
display . This product permit to configure two LOGO character, the max length is 31byte, which displays in the
first line and second line of the crystal liquid screen. Use the order “entplogo -1 xxxx” to configure the first line
LOGO, and the second line uses the “entplogo -2 xxxx”. Xxxx is the LOGO character sting. The spaces of the
xxxx must be used the underline “_”, otherwise, the order is failed.
七、Installation and Debugging

7.3 Installation steps
1、 Before installing the equipment, please read the operation manual carefully and install the equipment
according to the operation manual. Notice: install the equipment is not according to the operation manual,
9
which leads to man-made faults and other results, our company will not take the responsibilities and the
service of free fix.
2、 Fix equipment on rack mount and earthing. (earthing resistance ＜4Ω＝.
3、 Check voltage by digital multimeter whether accord with requirement and to be sure laser lock is OFF.
Then turn on power.
4、 Connect optical signal and turn key to ON, till laser work LED turns to green, then the equipment began
to work. This time you can push STATUS keys on front panel to watch parameters.
5、 Connect optical power meter to optical output of the equipment with a standard test jumper, then measure
optical output power, affirm optical output power is same to value shown on front panel; remove standard
fiber test jumper and optical power meter; connect the equipment to network. The equipment has been
installed.
八、Service
1. Our company's promises: Guarantee for thirteen month (start from the production date showed on
S/N ), fix all the life. Equipment at fault is resulted from the users’ improperly operation and
unavoidable environment reasons, our company will fix, but collect suitable material cost.
2. If the equipment at fault, immediately contact local distributor or our company customer service
centre.
3. Equipment at fault locale fix must be operated by special technician, avoid worse damage.
4. Special caution: if the user has fixed the equipment, our company will stop the service of free fix.
But we will fix it, and you must pay for the cost of fix and material.
Methods of the fiber optic connector cleanness and maintenance
At most of the time, we misjudge the drop of output optical power as optical equipment at fault. In fact, the fiber
optic connector is polluted by the dust and dirt, we can remove the fault through the cleanness and maintenance of
fiber optic Connector
1、 Turn off the power, screw off the fiber optic connector from the adaptor.
2、 Use good quality sweep paper or nosocomial degrease cotton to clean the connector carefully; if you use
the nosocomial degrease cotton, you should wait for 1~2 minutes after cleanness to volatize the alcohol in
the surface of the connector
3、 For insuring the fiber optic connector is clean, Connect the connector with an optical power meter and
measure the output optical power.
4、 Connect the clean fiber optic connector with the adaptor. Notice: user should use proper energy in order
to prevent the ceramic tape in the adaptor from breaking.
5、 If the fiber optic connector is clean, but the output optical power is also abnormal, takedown the adaptor
and clean another connector in the equipment. After cleanness, optical is also low, maybe the adaptor has
been polluted and clean it. ( notice: takedown the adaptor carefully, avoid break the optical fiber.
6. Clean the adaptor using the special compressed air or absorbent alcohol cotton. When you use the
compressed air, the nozzle aim at the ceramic tape, blow the compressed air into ceramic tape. When you
use the absorbent alcohol cotton, put the alcohol cotton through ceramic tape. Notice: the direction of
alcohol cotton through ceramic tape should be same, or it can not reach the ideal effect. Special notice:
a. In the process of clean the fiber optic connector, you should avoid direct shining at eye, which will cause
permanence burn!!!!
b. Use proper energy to install the fiber optic connector, or the ceramic tape in the adaptor will lead to break.
Once the ceramic tape is broken, the output optical power will decrease rapidly. If you turn the fiber optic
connector slightly, the output optical power changes obviously.
c. Please operate the optical fiber under the condition of close the pump laser. Or the big output power will
lead to burn the joint of the output optical fiber, which will reduce the output power.
