Question on EWDM - Damage exposure to X2 over short testing distance

I have 2 EWDM muxes in a lab and would like to set up a test connection over X2-10 GBics. I have 10 db attenuators which I could connect on RX end or on both both the TX & RX ends avoid any damage.
Question: Due to the distance being short, could this damage the X2-GBICS due to the laser strength? I would like to test the EWDMs and the X2 GBICs before deploying this in production.
Thanks in advance

The X2-DWDM receiver's damage threshold is -1dBm.
The X2-DWDM max transmit power is +3dBm (min -1dBm)
The EWDM-MUX-8 combined Mux/Demux DWDM (same channel) insertion loss is 4.7dB.
+3 - 4.7 = -1.7dBm optical receive power (worst case)
So you shouldn't damage the X2-DWDM's receiver.
BUT, the X2-DWDM module's maximum "operating" optical input power is -7. So, you should install the 10dB attenuator to make sure that your optical input signal is within the operating range of the X2-module.  Otherwise, you may have a high bit-error ratio on the link due to overloading of the optical receiver. 
You could install the attenuators between the two EWDM-MUX-8 filters as well.
Hope this helps!

  • OSDD-Over, Short, Damaged, Discrepant Report at teh time of GR

    Hi All - Hope everybody is doing well.
    At my current project the client have a transaction in the leagcy system (non-SAP)where they record the over, short, damaged, dicrepant material an dthis transactio have details of PO, material etc an dthe systeme generates document number too fro tracking. We are not implementing QM module. Does anybody have some clue how we can capture this requirement in  SAP MM/WM? Is tehre any way we can capture it?
    Any help is highly appreciated.

  • How damaging is it to over clock a device

    How damaging is it to over clock a device? I know over clocking is damaging. But is it the extra heat produced, or trying to use the capacitors to fast or something technical. If it is only heat, I can keep my MSI VGA card cool enough to over clock it.
    Does a chip start to become damaged or work less effeciantly if you raise the temperature. The card may work better at 5 degrees more temperatur, but does this damage it, or is there a certian temperature range. (I'm guessing temperature damages it only)
    I also thought most comanies disapproved of over clocking. Why does MSI seem to encourage it? Is this a bad or good thing?

    Why not have the best video card for an extra 6months until the next best one comes out.  Or run new games on an older video card.  That's what makes it worth the effort and the small amount of risk.
    If the overclocking/mod is done by someone who has a clue, and the reason to do so is to provide functionality to play games that require a higher frame rate or performance then one could say it may be justified. If one is not experienced in these areas and/or saved forever to obtain a card, overclocking may not be in the best interest to the user. Part of the problem is often many users lack the judgement or are driven to beat the latest benchmarks and end up with a keychain in the process. I can see overclocking towards the end of the lifespan of a high end card, but with todays latest and greatest..I don't see the point.
    Heat is the determining factor and the killer to all components, not just higher voltage wich I believe increases heat. Heat causes faster deterioration and shortens the life of any component on a molecular level.

  • How to run multiple CodedUI Ordered Tests over multiple Test Agents for parallel execution using Test Controller

    we are using VS 2013, I need to run multiple Coded UI Ordered Tests in parallel on different agents.
    My requirement :
    Example:   I have 40 Coded UI Test scripts in single solution/project. i want to run in different OS environments(example 5 OS ).  I have created 5 Ordered tests with the same 40 test cases. 
    I have one Controller machine and 5 test agent machines. Now I want my tests to be distributed in a way that every agent gets 1 Ordered test to execute. 
    Machine_C = Controller (Controls Machine_1,2,3,4,5)
    Machine_1 = Test Agent 1 (Should execute Ordered Test 1 (ex: OS - WIN 7) )
    Machine_2 = Test Agent 2 (Should execute Ordered Test 2 (ex:
    OS - WIN 8) )
    Machine_3 = Test Agent 3 (Should execute Ordered Test 3
    (ex: OS - WIN 2008 server)  )
    Machine_4 = Test Agent 4 (Should execute Ordered Test 4 (ex:
    OS - WIN 2012 server) )
    Machine_5 = Test Agent 5 (Should execute Ordered Test 5 (ex:
    OS - WIN 2003 server) )
    I have changed the  “MinimumTestsPerAgent” app setting value
    as '1' in controller’s configuration file (QTController.exe.config).
    When I run the Ordered tests from the test explorer all Test agent running with each Ordered test and showing the status as running. but with in the 5 Test Agents only 2 Agents executing the test cases remaining all 3 agents not executing the test cases but
    status showing as 'running' still for long time (exp: More then 3 hr) after that all so  its not responding. 
    I need to know how I can configure my controller or how I can tell it to execute these tests in parallel on different test agents. This will help me reducing the script execution time. 
     I am not sure what steps I am missing. 
    It will be of great help if someone can guide me how this can be achieved.
    -- > One more thing Can I Run one Coded UI Ordered Test on One Specific Test Agent?
    ex: Need to run ordered Test 1 in Win 7 OS (Test Agent 1) only.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Divakar,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    As far as I know, we cannot specify coded UI ordered test run on specific test agent. And it is mainly that test controller determine which coded UI ordered test assign to which test agent.
    Generally, I know that if we want to run multiple CodedUI Ordered Tests over multiple Test Agents for parallel execution using Test Controller.
    We will need to change the MinimumTestsPerAgent property to 1 in the test controller configuration file (QTControllerConfig.exe.config) as you said.
    And then we will need to change the bucketSize number of tests/number of machines in the test settings.
    For more information about how to set this bucketSize value, please refer the following blog.

  • Question of SAP Methodology of Implementation esp. System Testing and Test Script

    Dear SAP Member,
    As a very new and inexperienced customer to the SAP and the business. My company is preparing for the retail shop establishment which part of the preparation includes SAP implementation.
    At first, we strongly believe SAP can fit and serve our business need well. Also, the standard methodology of implementation will be able to deliver the system with expected quality. However, the local implementor disappoint my firm with poor quality delivery and control that result in the perception of uncertainty of the system to be lived.
    The methodology proposed by the implementor composed with
    1) Preparation
    2) Blueprint
    3) Realization
    a) Program development and unit test by vendor
    b) Training
    4) Final Preparation
    a) Integration test by Users
    b) Data conversion preparation
    5) Go-Live and Support
    My problem comes up with phase 4-5
    Problem 1: Unit/functional test performed by implementor . For this activities, how could customer ensure that every single function has been developed or implemented according to the requirement and without error?
    Problem 2: Vendor  provides slot for integration test for 7 days. Is it normal practice that test can be done within this short period?
    Problem 3: Does SAP methodology has the standard quality control, test enter and exit criteria and issue/incident management?
    Problem 4: How should the standard test script look like? What i received from implementor was like functional list rather than script.
    Problem 5: what should be step for conversion apart from the data preparation by users? The local implementor does not explain/elaborate the detailed activities.
    Last but not least, as the customer do not satisfy with the SAP partner (local implementor quality). What should be the process for feedback as to prevent other new customer to face the same problem?
    SK

    SK,
    Thamil has given his view.  Here is another.
    how could customer ensure that every single function has been developed or implemented according to the requirement and without error?
    If this is an issue to you, you can insist that members of your test team participate in unit testing.  You are, after all, the client, and it is your money being spent.  As long as you can furnish testers, who are competent to evaluate unit testing scenarios, you can have them work with the vendor during unit testing.
    Vendor  provides slot for integration test for 7 days. Is it normal practice that test can be done within this short period?
    It depends on what is being implemented.  I have seen implementations which contained over a hundred test scenarios and  over 2000 test scripts; each of which must be tested by multiple functional groups.  1 week is not enough to complete Integration testing in this case.
    Also remember that it is necessary to allow time to correct 'bugs' found during integration testing, and then to re-test after the bugs are fixed.  Except in the simplest of implementations, 1 week may not be enough to accommodate the bug fixes and retests.
    Does SAP methodology has the standard quality control, test enter and exit criteria and issue/incident management?
    Which 'SAP methodology' are you talking about?  Bottom line, the client must insist that the vendor incorporate any methodologies that are required for his business.  Don't assume that your vendor will automatically bring these items to the table, YOU may have to bring them to the table.
    How should the standard test script look like? What I received from implementer was like functional list rather than script.
    ?????  It should look like whatever you want it to look like.  Many companies have existing templates.  If your company doesn't have such a template, ask your vendor for one.  Go over it together with him and make appropriate modifications that meet your business requirements.
    what should be step for conversion apart from the data preparation by users? The local implementer does not explain/elaborate the detailed activities.
    It is impossible to say at the beginning of the project.  Sometime during realization, the client and the vendor will jointly develop a detailed cutover plan.  More importantly, the client will develop a change management plan for the client company, in which all stakeholders in the client company will come to understand how and when ALL of the client's business processes will need to change, and to develop plans for all affected groups.

  • Question about water damage to upper case

    Hey everybody.
    I recently sent in the MacBook that I got a year ago for repairs. Apple determined that there was water damage to the logic board, battery, and "top case,", which, while disappointing, was not altogether surprising since a few days earlier I had coughed a mouthful of water all over the computer.
    Anyway, I'm resigned to replacing the logic board and battery (although not through Apple - too expensive!), but I'm curious as to what, exactly, water damage to the upper case (I'm assuming that's the same as the top case) would be. The upper case is simply the plastic area with the keyboard and trackpad, correct? If it's plastic ... how can there be water damage? Or, perhaps more importantly, if I replace the battery and logic board, will the water damage to the upper case prevent me from using the MacBook? I suppose the keyboard/trackpad could be affected, but is that necessarily the case?
    I don't care if the computer looks pretty - I just want it to work. I can get the case for $50 off eBay; considering that the logic board will set me back $450, that's not THAT bad, but it's still $50 I'd rather, you know, spend on the logic board. Without which I am positive that my computer will not work.
    Anyway, thanks for any input/help, and may you be luckier in the timing of your coughs than I.

    The top case consists of the keyboard, trackpad, and power button. There is some electronic circuitry in there, which is likely what Apple was referring to as being damaged. I am not aware of such a "liquid sensor"....sounds more like a conspiracy theory to me. Liquid damage typically manifests itself as corrosion on the logic board, which is fairly easy to detect in a visual inspection. Other clues might be stains/discoloration from residue in the liquid, or perhaps the overwhelming smell of the beer.....
    As to your second question, my understanding is that you voided your warranty when you got water on your computer. I do not believe that the warranty is "restored" after a non-warranty repair, although depending on your location, local laws may dictate something different.
    The repair work specific to your current situation may be warrantied, but you should ask and find out for yourself. I don't believe you will be covered for any other potential future defects in the computer.
    This is one reason why I typically don't buy into the whole extended warranty thing - especially for portable electronics. In the vast majority of cases, it's simply a cash cow for the party selling it. And since laptops are much more prone to accidents that would result in voided warranties, I personally feel the risk of losing the money you invest in an extended warranty is too high.
    Now, if Apple offered a comprehensive replacement policy on their laptops(that covered accidents), I would most definitely consider investing in that kind of protection plan.

  • E71x problem, and a question about 'physical damag...

    Hiya,
    Soooo I got the E71x in June, and I loved it, until about a month ago, it started frustrating me non stop.
    The phone will tell me that its battery is low after I've charged it completely, and have seen 5 bars worth of power for 30 mins;
    it will turn off without shutting down, without alerting me
    it will freeze, and won't turn off with the power button--the only thing to do is pull the battery out;
    it will tell me the sim card isn't registered and then turn off
    OR
    the screen will go blank, turn white, and display a message that says 'Insert SIM card' when the sim card is already in, and hasn't been moved or anything;
    the phone will die when I try to send text messages, call someone, or the first 30 seconds into a call;
    whenever the phone dies on me, I have to pull the battery out & then turn the phone back on, and when I do so a ghost image of whatever i had been doing before the phone died (the text i was about to send, for instance, or the home screen, or the 'insert sim card' screen) will appear for a second, pixelate, then vanish.
    I called AT&T, they do not believe that it is a charger or battery issue, since I've checked those anyway. My software is up to date, I've tried all the online troubleshooting tips. I've obviously dropped my phone before, who hasn't, but it was never anything *huge*, the phone never turned off because I dropped it, the battery never popped out, etc. It has fallen from my jeans to the floor, for example, that's about it. So there's no physical damage because of that. I have never gotten the phone wet;---the circle on the back of my battery is white, so it hasn't been exposed to liquid or heat or anything extreme. I don't think my warranty would be turned down for physical damage due to the above mentioned.
    However, I have a question if anyone who works for Nokia reads these boards; my parrot removed the 'p' key from the keyboard--just the key, the pad underneath works fine and is untouched, i can still type the letter p and everything--but the 'p' key, just that one, is missing. I can't find it. Would I really be denied my 1 year warranty because of that? is there anyway I can buy a key to replace the 'p' key so that I could send my phone to AT&T? all it would need to be fixed is a tiny dab of glue. That's it. I will be very frustrated if I can't get my phone fixed within warranty because of that key; I would be forced to get another phone, and I don't think my choice would be another Nokia. Please let me know what I can do about this problem, it's getting ridiculous, I can't even answer phone calls without my first rushed sentence being 'my phone might hang up on you but i'll call you back' anymore.

    hahaha no, it's not the e71x, it is a piece of popcorn she DEVOURED. She LOVES popcorn. MMMmmmmMMMM she says. Haha.
    @FastTortoise, I think a parrotlet might be a good fit for you, they were my pick because they have the same personality as a parrot (spunky, loving, fun, funny, etc) but they're TINY, and VERY quiet (comparatively::they've got nothing on cats). Check out this site for more info http://www.talkparrotlets.com/forum.php my name on there is brittany_lynn, you might be able to get my email from that site or from this, lemme know if you have ?'s or anything
    P.S. All birds need a cage, a parrotlet just needs a smaller cage.

  • Does improper xorg.conf damage monitor instantly or over time?

    Self explanatory; I've read that improper settings in xorg.conf can damage your monitor. Is this something that still applies with new monitors? If so, what settings may do it (other than vertical and horizontal refresh rates)? Lastly, would improper settings ruin the monitor slowly over time, or in one hit the first time you start X?
    Cheers.

    A friend of mine had problems like that with nVidia cards setting improper refresh rates or sth for the monitors - and it fried at least one of them. I think it has to something to do with wrong DDC settings being read out (but which can be overridden manually).

  • Question about Water Damage

    Anyone who has had a similar experience to this I'd really appreciate knowing the outcome.
    My phone is currently in a bowl of rice. I have tried turning it on (before I knew I wasn't supposed to) and it turns on fine and the trackball lets me scroll around but none of the keys work. Does this mean it has short-circuited or is there still a chance that the keypad will start working in a few days once it dries out properly? 

    For reference, the rice solution is documented here:
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Got_Your_BlackBerry_Wet%3F
    It would be inaccurate to say 100% that it will work or will not work -- it all depends on circumstances; anecdotally, there are reports on both ends of the spectrum. Hence, if someone wants to try it, they certainly should...but they should not expect anything at all...they should just wait and see what happens. Water damage is one of those things that, quite simply, has unpredictable results.

  • Question about water damage vs. tripped sensors

    Hello,
    I recently purchase my very first Macbook Air, for which I am very pleased.  The other day in the coffee shop, a child hit my elbow and a little coffee splashed on my trackpad. I was very paranoid, and immediately made a Genius Bar appointment.  The genius stated that there was a drop inside the computer (near the trackpad) and that I could get a replacement for 800+.  I was really upset, but was really sure that very little coffee spilled.  So, I took it to an apple certified technician to glance at it.
    Their response "no worries....we cleaned off your trackpad and there was no damage.  The water sensors were never tripped.".
    However, after reading all these forums, I'm worried that the genius 'blacklisted' my computer.  How would I know this?  And, could I argue this?
    I should mention that at the moment of the 'spill', I reacted quickly and my computer showed no sign of issues.  I immediately took it to the Apple Store, and did not turn it on before I had a second opinon. 
    Since I'm new to Apple/Mac, information would be helpful.
    Happy Thanksgiving.

    I'd strongly recommend getting a written statement from the Apple Authorized Service Center, on their letterhead with a date/time and acknolwedgement of no issue. While there's no such thing as "blacklisting" you'd be surprised what Genii will write in their notes after a bar appointment.
    For example:
    I referred a user to the Genius Bar about three weeks with a stuck Mini-Disc in their optical drive. I was unable to jar it loose without more "creative" methods and did not want to potentially jeopardize their warranty. The user did not want to pay for me to disassemble the machine and remove the disc. She went to the Genius Bar where the person that helped her gave her the same option (disassembly of machine, removal of disc) for $99+ tax. The user refused the service and said for $100 I can think of a creative way to get it out for less. Last week she gave up and took it in for the $100 service when a different person at the Genius Bar said:
    "Our notes say that your last visit to the Genius Bar, you told the Genius that you were going to use a screwdriver or nail file to remove it." They also no longer offered the $100 service for the disc removal and instead quoted her an out of warranty/physical damage service call of $375.
    So, long story, short. I'd cover your tracks. Last I spoke with my user, she was still working with AppleCare to have that note entry on the screwdriver/nail file stricken from the record on her machine.

  • Questionable transfer speed of Zen Stone Plus over

    I'm going to make this short and sweet. Ever since I purchased this (4 days ago), every single transfer I've made via the 0cm long usb cable provided with it has been rated rather low.
    USB 2.0 has a maximum potential TX speed of 60MBps, however with the miniscule cable I was provided, TX speed is no faster than .MB
    ps.
    I did my first TX before firmware upgrade and it was rated at .MBps, I then not long ago upgraded the firmware, but no change.
    Any reason why this is such?
    Btw I'm on Vista Ultimate 64bit, and the firmware version I upgraded to is .03.0
    Other than this, It's all fine (except the stopwatch has choppy framing when used and while playing music at the same time, but that's another matter).Message Edited by Capt-Irrelevant on 09-07-200708:52 PM

    hi there!
    ih have exactly the same problem! (I also have this choppy stopwatch only while listening to a song) I think my Player is a bit slower: for ,3GB i need 40minutes....
    I received my player today and searched hours in the web for a solution. I tried different ways of transfering the data, nothing worked. Every other USB2 device (Stick, HDD, Mini HDD...) works perfect!
    I have a Kubuntu Li've-Boot CD (u dont have to install this OS it only boots from CD) and while using this OS i have the full transfer-speed in both directions. In Windows XP SP2 i only have the full speed while copying data from the player to my disk.
    Well.... i think it's a driver/config issue cause thats the only thing that have change in the Unix system but i cant figure out what exactly cause this problem: i used different ports, changed the energy options in windows, updated chipset driver, reinstalled player, unplugged other devices. i think the players ressources are used by something else or another thing already use something that the player needs.
    Tommorow i will test the player on other PCs and Unix systems and with an USB-hub.
