    摘要: An optical transceiver that custom logs information based on input from a host computing system (hereinafter referred to as a “host”). The optical transceiver receives input from the host concerning which operational information to log; the operational information may include statistical data about system operation, or measured parameters, or any other measurable system characteristic. The input from the host may also specify one or more storage locations corresponding to the identified operational information. If one or more storage locations are specified, the optical transceiver logs the information to the corresponding storage locations, which may be an on-transceiver persistent memory, the memory of the host or any other accessible logging location. Additionally, the input from the host may specify one or more actions to be performed when the identified information is logged. If one or more actions are specified, the optical transceiver performs the specified actions when the information is logged.

    摘要: An operational optical transceiver configured to initiate operation in loop back mode. The optical transceiver includes transmit and receive signal paths, a memory capable of having microcode written to it, and a configurable switch array that is used to connect and disconnect the two signal paths as appropriate for a desired loop back mode. The microcode is structured to cause the optical transceiver to control the configurable switch array. This allows for analysis and diagnostics of the signal data.

    摘要: An operational optical transceiver microcontroller configured to initiate a self-test using internalized loop backs. The microcontroller includes a memory, at least one processor and a number of input and output terminals. The output terminals are coupled to internally corresponding input terminals by a configurable switch. The memory receives microcode that, when executed by the processor, causes the microcontroller to close the switches so as to internally connect the output and input terminals. A signal is then asserted on the output terminal. This signal loops back and is received by the input terminal. The processor may then detect the microcontroller's response to the signal.

    摘要: An environment that facilitates the purchasing and updating of specific operational features in an optical transceiver (or optical transmitter or optical receiver). The environment includes a host computing system (hereinafter referred to as the “host”), a network, a remote computing site, and an optical transceiver having a system memory and at least one processor. The host determines what specific operational feature is desired. A request to purchase the specific operational feature is sent over the network from the host to the remote computing site. The remote computing site responds to this request by providing the host information by which microcode corresponding to the purchased specific feature may be accessed. The host may then access the feature specific microcode. Finally, the host provides the feature specific microcode to the optical transceiver memory where it may later be executed by the processor.

    摘要: An operational optical transceiver (or transmitter or receiver) configured to contain a module command interface. The optical transceiver includes at least one processor, a memory location dedicated for high level commands, and a library of microcode that control specific optical transceiver operations. A high level command is written to the memory location dedicated for high level commands. The processor determines that the high level command has been written to the memory location, identifies what the command is, and executes microcode from the microcode library that corresponds to the high level command. The executed microcode causes the optical transceiver to perform the operation directed by the high level command.
