    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 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 optical transceiver (or optical transmitter or optical receiver) that is coupled to a host computing system. The optical transceiver includes a system memory and at least one processor. The optical transceiver operates at least in part by the processor executing microcode from system memory. In order to change operation, the optical transceiver pages microcode segments from the host computing system to the system memory of the optical transceiver to adjust for changing operational circumstances. For example, by this paging, microcode segments that are more likely to be used given the current operational circumstances are loaded into the system memory of the optical transceiver, while microcode segments that are less likely to be used given the current operational circumstances are retained at the host computing system.

    摘要: An optical transceiver (or transmitter or receiver) that uses microcode that represents a formulaic relation between temperature and an appropriate value for an operational parameter given the temperature. The microcode is further structured such that when loaded into system memory and executed by the optical transceiver, the optical transceiver accesses the temperature as measured by a temperature sensor, calculates an appropriate value for the operational parameter given the accessed temperature using the formulaic relation, and adjusts the operational parameter according to the calculation. This allows the optical transceiver to adjust temperature-dependent operational parameters using less memory than required to perform a table-based representation of temperature versus the operational parameter.
