Programmer SFPTotal OSFP Board

Overview

The SFPTotal OSFP Board programmer can reprogram OSFP-RHS and OSFP-IHS transceivers, AOC and DAC cables.

Its hardware platform is based on SFPTotal Mini with an OSFP port modification for connecting OSFP transceivers. Additional power management circuits and input/output port controls provide OSFP support.

The SFPTotal command protocol provides access to additional transceiver address spaces with different memory structures and layouts.

SFPTotal OSFP Board connects to a computer through USB, which supplies power and controls the device. An external power supply connector is provided for high-power transceivers.

Application

The programmer can be used for the following tasks:

• Reprogramming optical and copper transceivers

• Ensuring compatibility with network equipment from different manufacturers
• Reprogramming the memory of write-protected transceivers
• Changing PHY controller settings

Quick start

Connect the programmer to your computer using the supplied USB cable. The operating system detects a new device on the first connection. Before using the programmer:

1. Install the device driver.
2. Download SFPTotal Wizard.

The device uses the standard virtual serial port driver included with Windows 10 and later.

SFPTotal Wizard provides an interface for editing, reading and writing firmware in transceiver memory. No initial configuration is required: SFPTotal Wizard automatically detects a programmer connected to the PC.

Some Windows versions require a restart after driver installation for the virtual serial port driver to work correctly.
