Display EEPROM data from a passive module

Updated: July 31, 2026

Want to summarize with AI?

Use this procedure to verify insertion loss and manufacturing details stored in EEPROM for passive modules connected to NCS 1001.

Retrieve and validate important insertion loss values and manufacturing information from passive modules using the built-in USB port on NCS 1001.

Follow these steps to verify EEPROM data from a passive module:

Procedure

Enter the show hw-module usb-port 0 passive-eeprom il command to retrieve insertion loss details from the passive device.

Example:

This is a sample output from NCS1K-MD-32O-CE (OOD)

INSERTION LOSS VALUES:
[  1]: from: Com-O-Rx to: Ch-00-Tx IL value:   6.04dB
[  2]: from: Com-O-Rx to: Ch-01-Tx IL value:   5.79dB
[  3]: from: Com-O-Rx to: Ch-02-Tx IL value:   5.81dB
[  4]: from: Com-O-Rx to: Ch-03-Tx IL value:   6.01dB
.....................................................
......................................................
[ 65]: from: Ch-31-Rx to: Com-O-Tx IL value:   5.46dB
[ 66]: from: Probe-Rx to: Com-O-Tx IL value:  10.61dB
[ 67]: from: Com-O-Rx to: Mon-O-Dmx IL value:  20.30dB
[ 68]: from: Odd-Even-Rx to: Odd-Tx    IL value:   3.51dB
[ 69]: from: Odd-Even-Rx to: Even-Tx   IL value:   3.53dB
[ 70]: from: Com-O-Tx to: Mon-O-Mux IL value:  19.67dB

Example:

This is a sample output from 15216-FLD-4-58.9=

INSERTION LOSS VALUES:
[  1]: from: Ch-01-Rx to: Com-Tx   IL value:   2.15dB
[  2]: from: Ch-02-Rx to: Com-Tx   IL value:   1.36dB
[  3]: from: Ch-03-Rx to: Com-Tx   IL value:   1.66dB
......................................................
[ 10]: from: Exp-Rx   to: Com-Tx   IL value:   1.31dB
[ 11]: from: Com-Rx   to: Mon-Rx   IL value:  20.44dB
[ 12]: from: Com-Tx   to: Mon-Tx   IL value:  19.84dB

Enter the show hw-module usb-port 0 passive-eeprom manuf command to retrieve manufacture related details from the passive device.

Example:

This is a sample output from NCS1K-MD-32O-CE (OOD)
