2. On-Board Module Identification
        The J9151E module was connected to an Aruba 6300M switch with a fiber patch cord. The module achieved a normal link, and the port indicator was on; the switch could correctly identify module information such as module type, model, connector type, wavelength and rate; DOM data could be read normally, and all DOM data were within the threshold range without alarm phenomena.
