    A Quick Start page, with basic usage instructions, opens.
  2. In the top row, select an operating environment, such as EXOS or VSP.
    A report shows all supported optical components (transceivers and cables) for the selected environment, and the hardware platforms with which they are compatible.
  3. To narrow the scope of the report, do any of the following:
    • In the Series list in the upper left corner, select a specific hardware platform, for example VSP 4900. The report adjusts to show optical components for that platform.
