To set up and configure the ML7007 Series Automated Transceiver Test Solutions, follow these steps:
1. Determine the specifications of your Device Under Test (DUT) and select the appropriate ML7007 variant. The ML7007 comes in configurations for 10G-100G, 200G, and 400G transceivers.
2. The ML7007 setup includes a MultiLane Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT), an MLO4034 Optical Switch Box (variant depends on DUT specifications), and an ML4015D Digital Sampling Oscilloscope (DSO). For 400G variants with Quad WDM/Quad Parallel Fiber Transceivers, the ML1016D-CR Optical Clock Recovery Module is also included.
3. The ML7007 setup for 10-100G uses the ML4070-QSFP BERT. The 200G setup uses an ML4039D BERT, and the 400G setup uses the ML4079D BERT for both quad and octa WDM and parallel lane transceivers.
4. For WDM transceiver Tx testing, a signal is sent from the MultiLane BERT through the DUT. The MLO4034 demultiplexes the signal and sends each one through to the ML4015D DSO.
5. For Parallel Fiber transceiver Tx testing, a signal is sent from the MultiLane BERT through the DUT. The MLO4034 uses 2x2 switches to route each fiber's signal to be processed one at a time by the ML4015D DSO. At 400G, for both Quad Parallel Fiber and Quad WDM transceiver Tx testing, the signal is passed through the ML1016D-CR Clock Recovery Module before being sent to the DSO.
6. Rx testing can be conducted using either the Tx from the transceiver itself or a reference Tx determined by the user. In both cases, the signal is routed through either a single VOA (in the case of WDM transceivers) or multiple VOA (in the case of parallel fibers) in the switch, and then through a Power Meter, before being picked up by the transceiver's Rx side.
