2 SYSTEM INFORMATION
2.1 Introduction
The LRM-MIS is an optical signal generator test system providing the stressed
signal(s) compliant to the IEEE 802.3aq LRM Standard. The system comprises:
Control of this system is exclusively through a SCPI command set that is sent via
Ethernet connection to the SIM113 Switch Card. The LRM110M card takes a single
ended electrical input signal of rate 10.3125Gb/s and converts it into an optical
output. This output can be varied in terms of stress, extinction ratio and output
power. The LRM110M card will also take an input optical signal of rate 10.3125Gb/s
and convert it into a single ended electrical signal.

Network Connection
The easiest way to connect the Hydra system and the controlling
computer is either over a network or with a router/switch (see Figure 2). The
network (or router/switch) will provide the IP address and subnet mask using
their automatic DHCP server.
7
Hydra LRM-MIS System Manual
2.3.2 IP Address
The IP address acquired using the DHCP is displayed on the line status
monitor display (for further information on this display, please see Section 2.4.2)
of the LRM110M card for 15 seconds after the IP address has been assigned
during system start-up. After this initial display period, it will display the IP
address once every minute.
UPLINK
z PWR Indicates that power is supplied to the system
LNK/ Indicates an Ethernet connection to the network has been established.
z
ACT Flashing LED indicates network activity
SLOT
z 1 Indicates that a card is present in Slot 1 and is communicating with the switch card

Hydra LRM-MIS System Manual
All commands and queries are received, processed and a response placed in
the output queue. This response remains in the output queue until it is read or
until another command is issued. All successful commands return the response
“OK”. All successful queries return the response “OK ” and then the response to
the actual query. If the command (or query) is unsuccessful (due to incorrect
command or an equipment conflict/error) then an error message will be returned.
For a complete list of error messages, please see Section 4. In this manual all
example responses are formatted as green bold underline.

ADMIN:FEATURES?
Description
Allowed
Responses
ERR?
Description Error Query. When an SCPI command error occurs, a “1” I added to the error register. The total
will stay in the register until it is read through the ERR? query at which point it will be reset to a “0”.
This command is not recommended, instead a general instrument read should performed after
each command and query since the string response will include error information. If the command
is entered correctly and executed, the first “word” response of the read will be “OK” otherwise the
first word will indicate what the issue is (please see Section 4 of this manual)
NPENDING?
Description Queries the number of pending commands.
IDN?
Description Standard SCPI query that will return the instrument’s identification code. The identification code
includes the vendor, model number, serial number and software revision levels
Return String OK Vendor: Circadiant Systems, Model: HMTS1000, serial number: ######, software version:
v#.#.#, Build Date: Month DD, YYYY HH:MM:SS
LRM:IDN?
Description Standard SCPI query that will return the LRM110Ms identification code. The identification code
includes the serial number and software revision levels
Return String OK type: lrm, version: v#.#.#, firmware: ######, serial: #######, xbserial: x#######, kernel:#.#.#
LRM:INITialize
Description Command to reset all user configurable LRM settings (and corresponding output) to default
settings
OPC?
Description Operation Complete query. When an OPC? Query is sent, a “1” is placed in the output queue after
all pending command operations are complete. If all commands are complete, the response will be
“1”, otherwise the response will be “0”.
RST
Description Command to cancel all pending commands and reset all user configurable parameters to default
values.
