"What's in the

Box?" on the next page

2Insert the power supply connector into the unit and plug-in to a power source.

See:

"Side Panel Connectors" on page1-3

3Insert the Optical SFP+Transceiver into the SFPcage (Option:PHSFP-10SR-

IP).See:

"Inserting the SFP+ Interface Module" on page1-4

4Press the red button on the front panel to power-up the unit. See:

"Powering the

Unit On and Off" on page1-5

5Insert the RJ-45 Control Ethernet connector to connect the Sx TAGto your con-

trol network. See:

"Side Panel Connectors" on page1-3

6Insert the LC-LCMultimode optical cable connector to connect the Sx TAGto

your 2022-6 or 2110 test network. See:

"Side Panel Connectors" on page1-3

7Insert any of the optional connectors required for you testing requirements, e.g.,

Audio I/O D-type, audio headphone jack, or any BNCconnectors. See:

"Side

Panel Connectors" on page1-3

8Configure the Sx TAGIPaddress for use in the control network, using either

DHCPor by supplying a static IPaddress. See:

"Setting the Sx TAG Control IP

Address" on page2-7

In addition to the standard equipment supplied with the Sx TAG, you may also have ordered the

following optional components, depending on your test requirements:

lVarious SFPInterface Modules, including:

lOptical SFP+Transceiver (Option:PHSFP-10SR-IP) for generation, analysis and mon-

itoring of SMPTE ST 2110-10/20/30/31/40 with NMOS IS-04/IS-05/IS-08 and ST 2022-6 IP

formats.

Also provides SDI-to-IP and IP-to-SDI Gateway conversion of 3G, HD, SD-SDI signals with

up to 16 channels of audio.

lElectrical SFPTransceiver (Option:PHSFP-RT30-HDBNC) for closed-loop testing in

SDIenvironments.

lOptical SFPTransceiver 1310 or 1550 nm (Options: PHSFP-RT30-1310 or PHSFP-RT30-

1550) for closed-loop testing in optical fiber environments.

lHDMIInput SFP (Option:PHSFP-HDMI-IN) to convert HDMIsignal to SDI for analysis.

lHDMIOuput SFP (Option:PHSFP-HDMI-OUT) to convert Sx TAGSDIOutput to

Inserting the SFP+ Interface Module

Insert the SFP+interface module into the cage as shown below. Push the module into the slot until

you feel a small click.

Figure 1-2: Inserting the SFP+Interface Module



To remove the module, pull down the lever on top of the unit and pull gently out of the cage.



Note: The IPfunction key (2110Encap, 2110Decap, 2022Encap, or 2022 Decap) is displayed

only when an SFPmodule is inserted in the unit.



Note: When running a new Sx TAGin IPmode alongside an older unit, you may notice that the

fan sounds slightly louder in the new unit. From serial number 6382, the Sx TAGfan was

upgraded to dissipate any addiitonal heat generated by the optical SFP+transceiver (option:

PHSFP-10SR-IP).
