VIAVI TestCenter: Are the PX3-400G-T2 module's pre-coding, gray-coding and Rx equalization defaulted on or off and is there a way to change it?
• Pre-coding
• When AN is disabled, pre-coding is OFF/disabled
• When AN/LT is enabled, the DUT can request pre-coding and STC will honor that request and enable pre-coding.
• Note this requires modules/appliances that support AN/LT
• see FAQ18879 for the models' 80 level part numbers that support AN/LT
• No user interface to enable/disable it.
• Gray-coding
• It is always ON.
• No user interface to enable/disable it.
• Rx Equalization
• When using DAC
• the module enables DFE
• This is default for Auto-detect
• Right now VIAVI does not Auto-detect any optics to switch to the RX equalization
• When using fiber
• the module does not enable DFE
• You must choose Manual Mode for optics. In the future firmware code will be able to change the setting for optics in Auto-detect.
• Swizzle
• This is not implemented on Tx nor Rx
• Rather the transmit and expected receive bit ordering is as defined in the spec.
