Configuring I/O Modules
Extreme Networks Consolidated Hardware Guide 167
The total optical system budget for the GM-WDMi module is 12 dB. Measure cable plant losses with a
1550 nm light source to verify that your cable plant losses are within the optical budget. Table 45
describes the optical specifications for the GM-WDMi module.
Extreme Networks recommends that you reserve 3 dB for losses due to cable splices, connectors, and
operating margin. Table 46 describes the cable attenuation, cable budget, and operating distance for a
variety of cable attentuation ratings for the GM-WDMi module.
A minimum of 2 dB attenuation is required to prevent saturation of the receiver.
LEDs
The GM-WDMi module has the following LEDs:
• Module status
• Port status
For information about the LEDs and their activity on the GM-WDMi module, see “I/O Module LEDs”
on page 176.
