HI,
Question for Reveltronics community. I have two 10G SFP+ modules from the same manufacturer XenOpt.
One is Singlemode XTS31A-10LY (1300nm) the other is Multimode XTM85A-M3LY (850nm). Both works fine!
The problem is that my Data Storage support only SFP+ module which is Multimode (strange, but true).
On other side of the optical fibre is Cisco 9500 router on which everything works fine SM and MM.
I would like to change SM SFP+ module settings in EEPROM to show as it is MM fibre SFP+ instead of SM ( and some other parameters).
The idea is to use Single Mode 10G SFP+ module and SM fibre for data link, but to advertise it to Data Storage that SFP+ module is MM.
I have tried password brute force method on SM and MM with no success unfortunately (6+ days for each).
Reading A0 shows that module has vendor name FINISAR (that's bad for me).
I have opened SFP+ modules and instead of EEPROM there is CPU SIL F330 from Silicon Lab. Therefore 4000 psw/s writes is possible.
But no luck. Do you recommend any other SM 10G SFP+ module that you know that it is possible to write to SFP+ EEPROM specifics parameters I described, so I can buy one I try my idea.
If I did something wrong with PBFM, please advice.
Regards!
