Installing the Fiber Optic Module

This guide provides instructions for installing the Bosch VG4-SFPSCKT Fiber Optic module into a VG4-A-PA1, VG4-A-PA2, VG4-A-PSU1, or a VG4-A-PSU2 AutoDome power supply box.

Description

  • The VG4-SFPSCKT is a unique media converter module for use with VG4 series AutoDomes incorporating the Ethernet (TCP/IP) Communications Module.
  • This media converter module is designed to accept any of the 10/100 Mbps Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules described below.
  • The media converter module along with the SFP module is user-installed directly into the AutoDome’s power supply box to provide an integrated fiber optic solution.

The Fiber Optic module accepts the following SFP modules:

Sub-module Fiber Type Optical Interface
SFP-2 MMF Duplex LC
SFP-3 SMF Duplex LC
SFP-23 SMF Single SC
SFP-24 SMF Single SC
SFP-25 MMF Single SC
SFP-26 MMF Single SC
  • NOTICE! The SFP module is not included with the VG4-SFPSCKT kit, it must be purchased separately.

Using an SFP Module

  • The SFP-23/SFP-24 modules and the SFP-25/SFP-26 modules are counterparts; if you use one in the VG4-SFPSCKT module then you must use the other in the CNFE2MC head-end unit.
  • For example, SFP-25 is used in the VG4-SFPSCKT module installed into a VG4 power supply. You must use the SFP-26 module in the CNFE2MC head-end unit.

The following chart lists the compatibility between the SFP modules:

SFP Sub-module used in VG4- SFPSCKT| Use this SFP Sub-module in CNFE2MC
---|---
SFP-2| SFP-2
SFP-3| SFP-3
SFP-23| SFP-24
SFP-24| SFP-23
SFP-25| SFP-26
SFP-26| SFP-25

Installation Instructions

Use the following instructions to install the VG4-SFPSCKT Fiber Optic module inside a VG4 Power Supply Box.

  1. Unpack the fiber optic module kit, and remove the parts from the bag.
  2. Turn off the power to the VG4 power supply box and remove the cover.
  3. Remove the 6-pin connector from the P106 connector inside the power supply box, if present.
  4. Insert one plastic standoff pin into the hole on the main power supply board, located to the left of the P107 (Heater) connector.
  5. Connect the supplied power harness (black) to the J103 socket on the power supply board, located below the Heater connector.
  6. Insert three standoff pins into the metal base plate as shown below.
  7. Align the upper right hole in the base plate to the standoff pin attached to the power supply box and press the base plate onto the pin. Secure the base plate with the supplied screw in the lower left hole of the P105 connector.
  8. Insert the SFP module into the VG4-SFPSCKT module: Note: The SFP module is static sensitive. Use static handling procedures when installing or removing the module.
    • a. Ensure that the bale-clasp on the SFP module is up.
    • b. Line up the SFP module with the port on the VG4-SFPSCKT module and slide it into the port until you hear the catches engage.
  9. Remove the rubber plug from the SFP module.
  10. Align the anchor holes on the fiber optic module to the standoff pins on the base plate and press the module onto the standoff pins until secure.
  11. Attach the supplied power harness (black) to its connector on the fiber optic module.
  12. Connect the RJ45 Ethernet patch cable (blue) to its socket on the fiber optic module. Then attach the other end to the female mating connector in the AutoDome pendant arm.
    • Note: If installing a Pipe or Roof mounted AutoDome, you will need to provide the appropriate length Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors to reach between the AutoDome and the power supply box.
  13. Route the appropriate fiber optic cable through the conduit hole on the power supply box.
  14. Plug the fiber optic cable (LC or SC connector) into the SFP module inside the power supply unit.
  15. Close and secure the power supply box when finished.
  16. Restore the power to the power supply box.

Troubleshooting

Issue Symptom Resolution
No data present No Power Check power to VG4-SFPSCKT:
  • If Green LED is present, then Check power to CNFE2MC:
  • If the Power LED is Green, then check the data link

| Invalid Fiber Link|

  • Check fiber connection to VG4- SFPSCKT:
  • If a Red LED is present, then the fiber link is missing.
  • If the LED is Flashing Red, then Check the fiber connection to the CNFE2MC:
  • If the Link/Act LED is not lit, then the fiber link is missing.

Issue| Symptom| Resolution
---|---|---
No Video present| RJ-45 Connection| Check the PWR/Link on the VG4- SFPSCKT:

–       If the LED is slowly Flashing Red, then

Check all video connections from the VG4 AutoDome.

–       If the LED is rapidly Flashing Red, then

Check the RJ-45 connector on the VG4-SFPSCKT:

–       If the right LED (Green) is not lit, then no data is present at this RJ-45 connection.

–       If no LED is lit on the RJ-45 connector, then there is a fault with this connector, the RJ-45 cable, or the cable is not connected to the CNFE2MC.

Check the RJ-45 connector on the CNFE2MC:

–       If the right LED (Green) is not lit, then no data is present at this RJ-45 connection.

–       If no LED lit on the RJ-45 connector, then there is a fault with this connector, the RJ-45 cable, or the cable is not connected to the VG4-SFPSCKT.
