Connect the optical cables to the receptacles located on the side of the case or on the front panel of the
card version. When the remote OSD138 is connected and receiving Data the "Rx Data" indicator
should illuminate amber. Please note that when using OSD138 1-fiber WDM option you must connect
WA with WB; refer to page 3 in this manual for descriptions of part numbers.

DATA MODE CONTROL SWITCH SETTINGS
SW5 can add a bias voltage to the RS485 link so that when the link is inactive it pulls the link weakly
to the “Low” state. In normal operation the bias is desirable and the switch is left in the ON state.
However, there may be occasions where external devices already provide this bias. In such cases the
bias is disabled by setting this switch to the OFF state. The settings are given in Table 6 below.
2 wire RS485 operates by sending bursts of data onto a 2 wire bus. In order to determine the direction
of transmission, the OSD138 accepts the first Logical High data signal coming from either copper or
fiber as valid data and then inhibits any signals coming from the opposite direction. This inhibition
lasts from 10
µ
s to 30ms after the active signal returns to the Logical Low state. This time is called the
RS485 Turnaround Delay and is user settable. The settings are given in Table 7 below.
OSD recommends that the unit be initially set to the minimum period of 10
µ
S (ie SW2, SW3 and SW4
all in the ON position). Should there be communication errors change this delay one step at a time
until the system is working correctly.
