FOMi-40
Fiber Optic Modem with Remote Management
Master and slave versions of FOMi-40 are
available. The master standalone version
features a front panel LCD. The slave unit
has a blank front panel with a 20-pin
connector that connects to a Portable
Control Unit (PCU). The PCU is used to
monitor and change parameters of the
slave or master modem and monitor
system alarms.
The modem uses an inband management
channel for controlling and monitoring the
remote unit. Data and management are
simultaneously transmitted over the same
fiber link, without interference.
Menu-driven software, accessed from the
front panel, allows the user to monitor
and control the following parameters on
local and remote modems:
• Data rate (when set to internal or
receive mode)
• Clock source
• Loop activation
• Internal BER tester activation
• LED status of local and remote units
• Local and remote unit settings
• Real-time alert of fault conditions.
FOMi-40 supports the following three
timing modes:
• Internal, from a built-in oscillator
• External, from the attached DTE
• Receive, from the signal received over
the line.
In the external mode setting, FOMi-40
automatically detects the clock rate
coming from the digital interface and sets
the remote unit to work at the same rate.
When the data rate of the external clock
changes, both local and remote units
automatically synchronize to the new rate.
FOMi-40 utilizes a phase locked loop (PLL)
circuit to recover jitter-free data and
clocking from the optical signal.
FOMi-40 is designed to operate with
several grades and sizes of fiber optic
cable and offers the following optical
interfaces:
• 850 nm LED/VCSEL for multimode
fibers
• 1310 nm laser for single-mode fibers
• 1550 nm laser for single-mode fibers.
