Codingbox User Specification Rev 1.1

This document provides a user specification for a CodingBox device that supports coding multiple optical transceiver types including SFP, QSFP, and XFP. The CodingBox automatically identifies the inserted module and initializes the corresponding functions. It supports reading and writing the entire address space of a transceiver via I2C interface and can control low-speed logic signals. Up to 9 CodingBoxes can be connected to a single computer to efficiently code multiple transceivers simultaneously.

Introduction
CodingBox is designed for coding optical transceivers more efficiently and conveniently.

CodingBox supports multiple transceiver types, such as SFP, SFP28, XFP, QSFP and QSFP28, etc.

CSFP option 1 and CSFP option 2 TWI communication is also supported.

Features
⚫ Automatically identify the inserted module type and initialize the corresponding function.

⚫ Support the entire address space transceiver by I2C interface.

⚫ Easy and efficient coding the module data.

⚫ Control low-speed logic signals, like LPMODE, MOD_SEL, TX_DIS.

⚫ Display DOM results, meanings real-time diagnostic information.

⚫ Do some test items based on I2C protocol, like current or random register reading, multiple

registers reading and writing, continuous fast reading, and so on.

⚫ Debug the module data by editing and running a script, read the “Script Editing Specification”

to learn more.

Application

Figure 2: Application

Simply connect CodingBox to a computer with a common USB cable, and you can start using the

device.

As is shown in Figure 2, up to 9 CodingBoxes can be mounted on one computer at a time. Each

independent device can operate one transceiver. In the near future, efficient coding of QSFP-4SFP

cable will be supported.

Description
CodingBox is a programmer board enclosed in a box. We design SFP, XFP, QSFP transceivers

interfaces to support the operation of SFP, SFP+, SFP28, XFP, QSFP, QSFP28, CSFP option 1, CSFP

option 2 modules, please note that only one module can be operated at a time by CodingBox.

We designed 3 built-in LED, green, red and white, to indicate the status of CodingBox. The

green indicator will be bright when CodingBox is power supply, which means that the USB data

User Specification
SFP/QSFP/XFP 3-in-1 CodingBox user specification Rev. 1.1

cable is connected between computer USB port and CodingBox’s Micro USB_interface. The red

indicator will be bright if the CodingBox initialization is abnormal, even cause permanent damage to

the device. The white indicator will be flashing when reading and writing.

We design built-in digital tube to number the CodingBox. In the beginning, we randomly choose

a CodingBox to number 1 between those mounting on PC, if users want to use another, click the left

interface resource pool number of supporting software, EzCoding.

We will design an external 3-plug I2C interface, SCL, SDA, GND in future version.

NOTE

When the red indicator light, you should disconnect the CodingBox’s USB cable

immediately and seek technical support.

If you have any problem about our product, please contact us through email

[email protected]. We will deal with it as soon as possible.
