1 Introduction 1.1 What is FSO? FSO is free space optics provides point-point broadband communications using Laser Light as the transmission medium. FSO is a state of art data communication method which is based on a very old communication solution. Ancient Chinese developed a protection system against the Mongol tribes, building watchtowers within the line of site to other towers. And as soon as the towers saw some hostile sign on the horizon they use they shield to reflect the sun to the remote towers.
sensitive to sense delight emitted from the remote side. GeoDesy FSO offers high transmit power and also very hard receiver sensitivity. These two factors combined to provide one of the best performing FSO systems on the market today. To meet the demands for every higher bandwidth, GeoDesy FSO (Europe) Limited continues to invest heavily in research and development with the newest product line which offers Gigabit speeds being launched.
1.3 Optical Free-space Transmission The principle used in free space laser transmission is very similar to the one is used for fibre optic transmission. The difference is while fibre optic devices use electronics and optics optimized for transmission to the air. Also one can observe to the similarity in the transmission properties. No galvanic contact, no ground-loops, no need for surge protection, noise immunity, long distances, high bandwidth.
1.4 Typical applications Most typically the GeoDesy FSO Next product are is used to interconnect LANs. The system is protocol transparent, thus other applications also can be taken into consideration. Appropriate interface converters are needed and system bandwidth must be matched for that. Here we collected some circumstances, where the deployment of the GeoDesy FSO is the most adequate as a cost effective solution.
2 Interfaces for the Giga Next AF Series 2.1 1000Mbps TP interface The GeoDesy FSO Giga Next AF series products are designed to provide easy-to-use and cost-effective solution for interconnecting Local Area Networks. By utilizing standard Category 5e cable and using standard IEEE802.3af interface the deployment of the system is easier than ever before. The transparent and wire speed data transfer together with virtually zero latency assures the easy integration of the system in all environments.
3 Sites of installation 3.1 Key factors of operation There are four key issues that the site survey has to shed light on. Proper system operation cannot be guaranteed without satisfying all of the four requirements. Clear line of sight - The entire optical path between the two ends must be free of any obstacles. It not only means that one has to see the other side, but other possible sources of disturbance should also be taken into consideration.
its specified direction. Another important consideration is to provide enough space for alignment and to have the potential for future maintenance. Consider that the support frame is usually heavy, so the selected spot should be easily accessible.
3.3 Distance measurement Because the units were designed, and calibrated for certain distance operations the higher distance will decrease the availability. GeoDesy FSO pre-calibrates and pretests every unit shipped to the customer. To ensure that the unit you are about to buy fits to the needs, the first step is to measure the distance. The best way to measure it is by GPS (Global Positioning System), these units are accurate enough to determine the distance between two points.
4 Eye safety There are no two installation spots of the same kind, the buildings or structures, the available space and the accessibility of the place will be different in each case. Nevertheless, as a general rule it is very important to select the installation site so that nobody can look directly into the transmitter.

6 System installation 6.1 On the table test Warning! Do not look either into the transmitter or the receiver optics because at this distance even the reflected laser beam can be dangerous to your eyes. Operating the system on much shorter distance than presumed originally can cause saturation or even permanent damage to the receiver. Always use optical attenuators for this kind of test. The on-the-table test needs careful planning and careful use during the test period.
6.1.1 Alignment of the PX0500E1000TP The first step after the unit was placed to the bracket, and the units facing each other. On the back of the receiver you can find the LEDs and LCD screen for the local received level and the remote received level. This help will be very useful because as soon as you have received – which is very easy to achieve – you can see the effect of your local sides movement to the other side. For further information please check the Meanings of the LCDs chapter. 6.1.
6.1.3 Fine tuning 1. Site A start moving the laserhead with the horizontal fine adjustment screw by looking at the Remote end received level 2. Using the fine adjustment screws, lighten as many LEDs as possible 3. Repeat step 1-2 on Site B. 4. If necessary try step 1-2 on both sites again. 6.2 Meanings of the LCD Power: The head is powered up. RX-OK: Received beam is good for communication. TP Lk: Copper link between the head and the Network equipment.
6.3 AF adjusment method What is AF after all? AF stands for Auto Focus. Geodesy FSO Giga Next AF is equipped with the lates innovation from Geodesy. An automatic focusing control system. The system is capable of changing its beam divergency depending on the changes of the environment. In the case if the weather gets bad, the system will decrease the beam size, to concentrate the distributed beam power, to ensure more stable operation.
Alignment steps 1. using the crosshair align the units into a roughly aligned position. Please note that the alignment scope will not be able to provide with a perfect alignment, this will have to be done using the fine alignment screws referring to the received level screen on the LCD panel. 2. using the fine adjustment screws on the alignment base set the units to the highest received level possible. (for further details on how to perform the fine adjustment refer to 6.2.2 and 6.2.
