It still blows my mind that use of the SFP port requires a license.

Created the license and applied it, but I can't find anything in the config about the SFP port or any way to tell it to use the SFP port. Am I just being stupid and missing something?

I've ordered the 450M kit and I'll see how it fits and test out BiDa. I'm planning on adding an Isolated DC-DC +48V bus at the site at least for now unless someone else wants to test them out for awhile on -48. Kind of a PITA though. Wish everyone would just support + and - 48DC on a DC terminal, at least on gear costing multiple Ks.

The glands I called out earlier are probably not going to fit in the 450m. I don’t have a 450M I can try it in at the moment. We are supposed to be getting 4 in tomorrow and I can try it and let you know if it fits. We have powered the 450m with both +48V and -48V DC supplies through a CMM5 And since we are talking about a 450m and not a 820c, I have not tried a BiDi SFP yet. Sorry for the misinformation. To many voices in the head :-) Mark <blockquote> On Aug 3, 2017, at 4:25 PM, Carl Peterson < [email protected] > wrote: Matt, While I have your attention, I have two more 450M questions. 1) What are the supported POE pinouts? 2) Off chance, but it it ground agnostic, i.e isolated ground? It is nice to see an SFP port but I really would have LOVED to see and SFP and -48VDC or +/-48VDC like most Siklu gear. On Thu, Aug 3, 2017 at 4:18 PM, Gino A.

The kit consists of three parts: the SFP module itself, the extended gland, and the entitlement key to apply the license to the radio. Matt From: Af [ mailto:[email protected] ] On Behalf Of Carl Peterson Sent: Thursday, August 3, 2017 9:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] 450M SFPs 1) I know you need to buy cambiums SFPs to get the license to unlock the SFP port on the 450M, but once the license is applied, is there any limitation as to what SFPs you can run? Would much prefer to use BIDA so we can just run clearshield simlex with SC SOCs on it and so we don't have to waste fiber. Has anyone tested other SFPs in it and have any not worked? 2) The SFP cage is flush with the exterior of the case and has very little space in the antenna side of the cage so you can't screw the cambium gland in whith an SFP installed. Does the SFP kit come with a special gland with room for the SFP and connector? -- Carl Peterson PORT NETWORKS 401 E Pratt St, Ste 2553 Baltimore, MD 21202 (410) 637-3707 </blockquote> </blockquote> -- Carl Peterson PORT NETWORKS 401 E Pratt St, Ste 2553 Baltimore, MD 21202 (410) 637-3707 </blockquote> -- Carl Peterson PORT NETWORKS 401 E Pratt St, Ste 2553 Baltimore, MD 21202 (410) 637-3707
