Alarm Enable Setting

Alarm enable setting, when the user selects the parameters of the corresponding option. It will
alarm if the actual value of the parameter exceeds the set alarm threshold.

Alarm Level

Alarm threshold settings, in actual use, the user can adjust the alarm threshold according to
the actual situation. (Note: Users do not have to set the threshold of these parameters, the device
has been set at the factory default threshold values of these parameters), a little high and low for
general alarm, low and high for serious alarm.

 Trap IP

The Trap receiver address allows up to four, the address is enabled when settings enabled

address option is selected.

Restore

When the alarm enable or alarm threshold settings disorder, if you want to restore the factory
settings, restore to factory settings after clicking the confirmation button. (Note: to restore the
factory settings, IP addresses will not be affected.)

Installation

 Box inspection
KT GAD Series 1550 optical fiber amplifier has been strict production debugging and testing

before leaving the factory, with user manual and random accessories in the box. After receipt of

the goods, user should first check whether the box is in good condition, and then open it to check

whether the machinery and equipment is damaged in transit, or random accessories are complete,

and timely feedback to KT Company. (Contacts please see the last page)

 Installation
1. The equipment uses 220v AC power supply, the fuse specifications 1.6A, to be ensure that the
shell is well grounded.
2. Before use, check wavelength and power of the input signal of the optical interface, to ensure
that it’s within the range of specified operating parameters.
3. Clean the external input/output pigtail connector end face, clean as follows: wipe with a clean
dedicated dust-free paper, slightly moistened with pure alcohol wipe 2-3 times. Be residues after
the alcohol evaporates, and the external jumper can be connected to the EDFA input/output
optical port, and to ensure a good connection.
4. Check whether the power connection and the input/output jumper connections are correct, turn
on the power switch on the front panel, the power LED is lit, the key that unlocks the panel laser,
no panel alarm indication, EDFA already normal work; any time plug input/output pigtail, user
must first disconnect the power to ensure personal safety.
5. If user wants to monitor EDFA work status, connect LAN port of EDFA and PC, and select the
corresponding PC software, you can read EDFA work.
