Safety Information

• Laser Safety: This product contains a laser device. Do not stare directly into the optical port when the transceiver is powered on, as this may cause eye damage.
• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): Always handle the transceiver with appropriate ESD precautions, such as wearing an anti-static wrist strap, to prevent damage to sensitive electronic components.
• Handling: Avoid touching the optical connectors directly. Keep dust caps on the optical ports when the transceiver is not in use.
• Environment: Operate the transceiver within its specified environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) to ensure reliable performance.

Product Overview

The Addon FN-TRAN-SFP+LR-AO is a high-performance SFP+ transceiver module engineered for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over long distances. It is specifically designed to be compatible with Fortinet networking equipment, ensuring seamless integration and operation within existing Fortinet infrastructures.

Key features include:

• Compatibility: Fully compatible with Fortinet networking devices.
• TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements for government procurement.
• 10GBase-LR Standard: Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections for long-reach applications.
• Long Reach: Capable of transmitting data up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles).
• Single-Mode Fiber (SMF): Optimized for use with single-mode fiber optic cables.
• Wavelength: Operates at a 1310nm wavelength.
• LC Connector: Utilizes a standard LC duplex connector for fiber optic connections.
• Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM): Provides real-time monitoring of transceiver parameters such as temperature, voltage, and optical power levels.
• Hot-Pluggable: Can be inserted or removed from a network device without powering down the device.

Setup

1. Prepare the Device: Ensure your Fortinet networking device has an available SFP+ port.
2. Handle with Care: Observe ESD precautions. Remove the transceiver from its protective packaging.
3. Insert the Transceiver: Gently slide the SFP+ transceiver into the designated SFP+ port on your networking device until it clicks into place. The transceiver is hot-pluggable, so the device does not need to be powered off.
4. Remove Dust Caps: Carefully remove the protective dust caps from the transceiver's LC optical ports.
5. Connect Fiber Optic Cables: Connect the appropriate single-mode LC-to-LC fiber optic cables to the transceiver's ports. Ensure the transmit (TX) port on one end connects to the receive (RX) port on the other end, and vice-versa.
6. Verify Connection: Check the link status indicators on your networking device to confirm a successful connection.

Operating

Once installed, the Addon FN-TRAN-SFP+LR-AO transceiver operates automatically to establish a 10 Gigabit Ethernet link. The networking device will recognize the module and configure the port accordingly.

• Link Status: Monitor the link status LEDs on your Fortinet device to confirm the optical link is active.
• Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM): Utilize your networking device's management interface to access DOM data. This feature allows you to monitor real-time parameters such as transmit power, receive power, temperature, and voltage, which are crucial for performance assessment and troubleshooting.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your SFP+ transceiver.

• Cleaning Optical Connectors: Regularly inspect and clean fiber optic connectors using approved fiber cleaning tools. Dust and contaminants on the fiber end-faces are a common cause of signal loss and link issues.
• Dust Caps: Always replace the protective dust caps on the transceiver's optical ports when no fiber cable is connected.
• Storage: Store unused transceivers in their original anti-static packaging in a cool, dry environment.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your transceiver, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Link Light:
  • Verify the transceiver is fully seated in the SFP+ port.
  • Check fiber cable connections for proper TX/RX orientation.
  • Inspect fiber optic cables and connectors for damage or dirt. Clean if necessary.
  • Ensure the connected device on the other end is powered on and configured correctly.
• Low Signal or Intermittent Connection:
  • Check fiber cable length to ensure it is within the 10km limit for 10GBase-LR.
  • Use DOM to check transmit and receive power levels. Compare them against the transceiver's specifications.
  • Ensure only single-mode fiber is used.
  • Clean all fiber optic connectors.
• Transceiver Not Recognized:
  • Remove and re-insert the transceiver.
  • Ensure your Fortinet device's firmware is up to date.
  • Try the transceiver in a different SFP+ port or a different compatible device if available.

If issues persist, consult your Fortinet device's documentation or contact technical support.
