DANGERRisk of electrical shockA precautionary message with this symbol indicates a risk ofpersonal injury caused by an electrical hazard.

1-2 Observing safety guidelines


Safety standardsThe network elements of this product conform to all relevant safety standards.In particular, they meet the following standards:

• IEC 60950—Safety of Information Technology Equipment

• IEC 60825 series—Safety of Laser Products

• FDA 21 CFR 1040—Performance Standards for Light-Emitting Products,2000

The classification of Nortel Networks products is based on the maximumaccessible power. Under normal operating conditions, the power within theoptical system can be high, but not accessible. Upon fault or optical fiberdisconnect conditions, the internal safety systems reduce the power to theaccessible power level, as stated on the labels.

Laser radiation—optical transmission systemsNortel Networks optical products use laser or light-emitting diode (LED)sources that emit light energy into optical fibers. This energy is within the red(visible) and infrared (not visible) areas of the electromagnetic spectrum.

CAUTIONRisk of laser radiation exposureA precautionary message with this symbol indicates a risk ofpersonal injury caused by exposure to laser beam.

CAUTIONRisk of burnA precautionary message with this symbol indicates a risk ofpersonal injury caused by a hot surface.

CAUTIONRisk of interruption to serviceA precautionary message with this symbol indicates a risk ofservice interruption or equipment damage.

CAUTIONRisk of damage to circuit packsA precautionary message with this symbol indicates a risk ofstatic damage to circuit packs. Use antistatic protection.

Observing safety guidelines 1-3


International standardsThe IEC 60825 series of international standards covers the safety of laser andLED products. The following list provides examples from the InternationalElectrotechnical Commission (IEC), Code of Federal Register (CFR), andEuropean Norm (EN) series of standards:

• IEC 60825-1, Safety of Laser Products—Part 1: Equipment Classification,Requirements and User’s Guide Edition 1.1; Edition 1: 1993, Consolidatedwith Amendment 1: 1997; Issue 1, 1998, 217 pgs. (Part 1 of a series ofpublications under the general title of: Safety of Laser Products). Thisstandard provides information about equipment classification and on limitvalues for safety of laser products.

• IEC 60825-2:2000-05, Safety of Laser Products—Part 2: Safety of OpticalFibre Communication Systems, Second Edition, May 2000, 100 pgs. Thisstandard provides information about the safety of optical fibercommunication systems.

• Regional standards such as the EN 60825 series: for example, BritishStandard BS EN 60825-1:1994, Safety of Laser Products, EquipmentClassification, Requirements and User’s Guide, 15 Dec. 1994, 126 pgs.These standards are based on the IEC 60825 series.

Note: In Europe, the EN 60825 series of standards for CE markingpurposes evaluate the safety of laser and LED products. The EN 60825series is technically equivalent to IEC 60825.

• In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publishesregulations 21 CFR 1010, Performance Standards for ElectronicsProducts: General, April 1996, and 21 CFR 1040 in the Code of FederalRegister (CFR). Regulations 21 CFR 1010 and 21 CFR 1040 contain lasersafety requirements equivalent to the European standards.

Although the FDA classifications (I, IIIb, IV) are similar to those of the IEC(1, 3A, 3B, 4), these classifications are not directly equivalent. NortelNetworks ensures that all its products are compliant with either or both FDAand IEC requirements, as appropriate.

The optical systems meet either the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) orSynchronous Optical Network (SONET) standards. SDH systems arenormally for use outside North America. SONET systems are normally for usein North America. Normally, the IEC 60825 series of standards are used toclassify and certify SDH products and FDA CFR is used to classify and certifySONET products.



The maximum intrinsic output power of laser and LED sources used in opticalfiber communication systems can vary from Class 1 (IEC)/Class I (FDA) forshort-reach applications, to Class 3A (IEC)/Class IIIb (FDA) or higher forlong-reach applications. The IEC standards require that products be assessedon their maximum accessible optical power during both normal operation andunder fault conditions.

Radiation hazardsUnder normal operation, with all optical connectors in position and terminatedcorrectly, the optical radiation is completely enclosed. The system is a Class 1(IEC)/Class I (FDA) product, regardless of the transmitted power within theoptical fiber.

If you have unterminated optical cables (breaks in the fiber-optic cable ordisconnected connectors) the output from circuit packs that contain opticaltransmitters can be greater than Class 1 (IEC)/Class I (FDA). Follow therequirements set out in standard IEC 60825-2:2000-05 concerning opticalfiber communication systems.

Standard IEC 60825-2:2000-05 requires that you evaluate the level ofradiation hazard introduced under acceptable conditions for optical fibercommunication systems.

• Hazard level 1 (IEC) corresponds to Class 1 (IEC). You can install and useproducts with this classification in any location.

• Hazard level 3A (IEC) corresponds to Class 3A (IEC). You can install anduse products with this classification in restricted or controlled locations.Although you can consider a Class 3A optical source safe for long-termdirect viewing without optical aids, Nortel Networks does not recommendthis activity. Hazard level 3A is the label normally applied to opticalproducts that Nortel Networks designs for short-haul and medium-haulapplications.

Note 1: The FDA does not have a classification with limits equivalent tothose of IEC Class 3A for the infrared wavelength range 1425–1625 nm.FDA classifications for this wavelength range go from Class I to Class IIIbdirectly. FDA Class IIIb is similar to IEC Class 3B. Labels for IEC Class3A contain a reference to FDA Class IIIb.

Note 2: In this document, Class 3A is always in reference to IECclassification.

• Hazard level k x 3A indicates that you can access optical powers higherthan Class 3A (IEC). Standard IEC 60825-2:2000-05 permits these higherlevels in controlled locations. Nortel Networks optical products in thiscategory (for example, the MOR Plus circuit pack) have warning labelsthat clearly state the k x 3A hazard level.



The following conditions determine the precautions you must take:

• the maximum accessible power

• the location of the part of the system where the optical radiation isaccessible

Definitions of locations for laser safety are as follows:

• Unrestricted—a location where access to the protective housing(enclosure) is unrestricted. Examples include domestic and publicpremises.

• Restricted—a location where access to the protective housing (enclosure)is restricted and not open to the public. Examples include industrial andcommercial premises.

• Controlled—a location where access to the protective housing (enclosure)is controlled. Only authorized persons who have received acceptabletraining in laser safety and servicing of the system can access a controlledlocation. Examples include optical cable ducts and switching centers.

Safety standard IEC 60825-1 does not require the classification of passiveoptical subassemblies, such as optical multiplexers, patch panels, andcouplers. The output power of passive optical subassemblies depends on theinput power. If you calculate the losses between the input and output poweryou can evaluate the type of hazard in any part of the equipment using thesesubassemblies.

A passive optical subassembly supplied and installed as part of a completeNortel Networks optical communication system has the appropriate hazardlevel assigned to it and labels attached. If Nortel Networks does not supply andinstall the subassembly, you must determine the maximum accessible opticaloutput level and assign the appropriate hazard level and labels.

LabelingAccording to the IEC 60825 and FDA series of standards, you must attachlabels to the optical circuit pack and to the product. The following paragraphsprovide examples of several different precautionary messages. The followingparagraphs provide details on the words and meaning of the symbols andlegends, and explain the hazard precautions needed for optical communicationsystems.

Note: To make the label fit the circuit pack faceplate, the size, and detailsof the circuit pack explanatory label can be changed.



The elements of a typical label are

• laser warning symbol

• warning text explaining the risk associated with the hazard from exposedoptical fiber ends and unterminated connectors

Note: This warning text indicates a hazard can exist on either the fixed orfree end of a connector depending on the direction of transmission.

• class number according to both IEC 60825-1 and FDA CFR standards

• wavelength, shown as a nominal or a dense wavelength divisionmultiplexing (DWDM) range of values, for example

— 1550 nm nominal means a single wavelength within the range1440 nm to 1625 nm

— 1425 nm–1625 nm means that multiple discrete DWDM wavelengthsexist in the range

The book symbol can appear on products where space is limited and the fullsafety text cannot be included. Details of the full labeling text is containedwithin this documentation.

Circuit pack explanatory label—Class 1 (IEC)/Class I (FDA)Class 1 (IEC)/Class I (FDA) laser products are safe under all conditions andcan be used in any location. A typical label is as follows.

The label can be fixed to the faceplate or any flat surface. If the optical sourceis Class 1 (IEC)/Class I (FDA), you do not need to attach a label to theequipment.

The starburst laser warning symbol is optional for Class 1(IEC)/Class I (FDA)products. This symbol is normally placed close to the appropriate opticalconnectors.

Handling optical fibersWhen you work with optical fibers, take the following precautions:

• Never look into an active optical fiber or an optical fiber connectoropening of an active or powered-up unit.

• Never disconnect an optical fiber from an active or powered up 1600Goptical Amplifier circuit pack. Before you disconnect the optical fiber,ensure that the affected circuit pack is out of service (OOS), then unseated.Refer to 1600G Amplifier Provisioning Procedures, 323-1801-316, forinstructions on determining and changing the state of 1600G opticalAmplifier circuit packs.

• Before you connect an optical fiber to a 1600G optical Amplifier circuitpack, ensure that the pack is out of service (OOS) and unseated. Refer to1600G Amplifier Provisioning Procedures, 323-1801-316, for instructionson determining and changing the state of 1600G optical amplifier circuitpacks.

• Always clean and inspect an optical fiber immediately before you connectit, even if the optical fiber has been recently cleaned. Refer to “Cleaningoptical connectors” in Fiber Management and Fiber Cleaning Procedures,323-1801-202 for detailed instructions.

• Avoid direct exposure to optical fiber ends or optical connector ends whereyou can directly access the laser signal.

• Clean your hands after you handle optical fibers. Small pieces of glass arenot always visible and can damage your eyes.

• Do not handle pieces of optical fiber with your fingers. Use tweezers oradhesive tape to lift and discard any loose optical fiber ends.

• Wear rubber gloves when you clean optical connectors. The gloves preventdirect contact with the isopropyl alcohol and prevent contamination of theferrules with skin oils.

CAUTIONRisk of damage to circuit packsNever connect or disconnect an optical fiber on an active orpowered up optical amplifier. To connect or disconnect anoptical fiber, place the optical amplifier out of service (OOS),unseat the optical amplifier, then connect or disconnect theoptical fiber. High optical power levels can damage circuitpacks if improper connections are made.

WARNINGRisk of eye injuryIf you have a piece of a glass in your eye, get medicalassistance immediately.



• Place all optical fiber clippings in a plastic container provided for thatpurpose.

• Handle optical fibers with caution. Place the optical fibers in a safelocation during installation.

• Protect all optical fiber connectors with clean dust caps at all times.

• Follow the manufacturer instructions when you use an optical test set.Incorrect calibration or control settings can create hazardous levels ofradiation.

Splicing optical fibersWhen you must look at a spliced optical fiber with a small magnifier, take thefollowing precautions:

• Power off all laser sources to the optical fiber or disconnect the remoteoptical fiber end from the laser sources before you start splicing. Make surethat all laser sources remain disconnected and powered off. The lasersources can be in a central office, on subscriber premises, or in a remotelocation.

• Disconnect all optical test sets from the optical fiber before you startsplicing. The connections can be local or remote.

• Use only the optical instruments approved by your company.

Repairing optical fibersWhen an accidental break occurs in the optical fiber, do the following:

• Report the location of the damaged optical fiber to both the central officeand field repair personnel.

• Power down all laser sources to the optical fiber and disconnect the remoteoptical fiber end from the laser sources (see “Handling optical fibers” onpage 1-10 before you disconnect any optical fiber from a laser source). Thesources can be in a central office, on subscriber premises, or in a remotelocation.

CAUTIONRisk of electrical shockRead and understand the power procedures you areperforming. Take necessary precautions and use theappropriate insulated tools when working with power.



After you reset any previously tripped circuit breaker, wait near the product forat least 1 minute to ensure that the fault clears and the product returns tonormal operation.

When you remove the breaker module, follow the label instructions providedon the product. The following figure shows a typical label and expandedinstructions.

Dissipating static electricityThe level of static electricity increases on your body when you move aroundor come into contact with other charged surfaces. Excessive levels of staticelectricity can damage equipment. You must wear both a heel grounder (thatattaches to your leg and foot) and an antistatic wrist-strap, or another personalgrounding device when you work on any of the following:

• network element shelves (including the metal frame and cover)

• cables connected to circuit packs

• circuit packs

Note: Heel grounders or similar worn footwear attachments work whenthe floor is designed to dissipate static electricity. If the properties of thefloor are unknown or in doubt, use a wrist-strap and make sure it isconnected to a piece of electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding equipmentbefore proceeding with any maintenance or installation activity.

BEFOREREMOVING MODULE

1- Switch all breakers to O

2- Unseat module from connectors

3- Wait 15s to allow discharge

4- Remove module

1- Operate all circuit breakers by movingthe switch to the OFF ('O') position.

2- Unlock the breaker module and pullthe breaker module out slightly until thebackplane connector is fully disconnected.

3- Wait for at least 15 seconds for thecapacitors on the breaker module todischarge.

4- Finish removing the breaker modulefrom the shelf.



Any one of the previously mentioned grounding devices dissipate electrostaticcharges to the ground quickly. Use grounding devices correctly to eliminatethe electrostatic discharge (ESD) threat you pose to the equipment.

When you wear an antistatic wrist-strap and a heel grounder you must makesure the grounding straps are in contact with a moist part of your skin. Connectthe grounding cord to the grounding plug on a grounded fixture of the productyou are working on, such as the local craft access panel (LCAP). Groundedfixtures are accessible on most Nortel Networks products. See the ESD groundjack shown in Figure 1-1.

System lineup and testing processoverview 2-

This chapter provides a brief introduction to, and overview of the systemlineup and testing (SLAT) process required to deploy an OPTera Long Haul1600 Optical Line System.

Using SLAT documentationFollow the OPTera Long Haul 1600 SLAT process to perform SLAT activitiesfor both the bay and optical amplifiers.

Use the following Nortel Networks technical publications (NTP) to performbay SLAT procedures:

• this NTP contains procedures to prepare and commission a networkelement and to connect a network element to the network

• System Commissioning and Testing Procedures, 323-1801-222, containsprocedures for system commissioning and final system testing. You cannotcomplete the end-to-end test procedures in this NTP until the SLATprocess for the Multiwavelength Optical Repeater (MOR) Plus or 1600GAmplifiers is complete.

After the SLAT procedures on the bay are complete, use the followingdocuments to test and provision the optical links:

• part 1 of MOR Plus SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-225 andpart 2 of MOR Plus SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-225 containprocedures to perform SLAT and system capacity upgrades for MOR Plusapplications of the OPTera Long Haul 1600

• part 1 of 1600G Amplifier Optical SLAT and Upgrade Procedures,323-1801-226 and part 2 of 1600G Amplifier Optical SLAT and UpgradeProcedures, 323-1801-226 contain procedures to perform SLAT andsystem capacity upgrades for 1600G Amplifier applications

2-2 System lineup and testing process overview


The documents all have a similar structure. Each chapter that containsprocedures starts with a general description, and includes procedure lists forcompleting specific tasks. Each procedure begins with a description of thepurpose, prerequisites, and precautions for executing the procedure. Beforeyou perform a procedure, ensure that you have met all the prerequisites, andyou have followed all precautions.

System lineup and testing proceduresSLAT is performed after the network elements are installed. A networkelement is installed when the following criteria are met:

• the circuit packs are in their slots

• the optical fibers are routed but not connected

• the bay is powered down

See Installation Procedures, 323-1801-201 for more information.

Once the installation criteria have been met, the network elements are readyfor SLAT. The SLAT process consists of the following tasks:

• reviewing Chapter 1, “Observing safety guidelines” in this document

• preparing the network element for commissioning

• powering up and commissioning the network element

• site testing

• operations controller (OPC) commissioning

• optical link testing and provisioning

• progressive end-to-end testing

• system testing

• provisioning

Note: The OPC is commissioned and configured during the SLAT processto provide network operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM)capabilities. It is recommended that you first power up and commission theOPTera Long Haul 1600 network element that contains the OPC.

When the system commissioning and testing procedures are complete, thenetwork is provisioned with operating parameters and is ready to carry livetraffic.

System lineup and testing process overview 2-3


Powering up and commissioning a network elementAfter installation, the bay power is verified and the power turned on. Thepower first goes to the control shelf and then to the other circuit packs in themain shelf and the extension shelves. Each circuit pack performs aself-diagnostic test on startup. You can then log in to the network element witha VT100-compatible terminal through a connection to the RS-232 port on thelocal craft access panel (LCAP).

The procedures to prepare a network element and to enter data for OPTeraLong Haul 1600 systems are provided in this document.

Commissioning the software using the MI circuit packThe network element software is delivered to the OPTera Long Haul 1600network element through a commissioning maintenance interface (MI) circuitpack that is specific to every release. This MI circuit pack contains all thesoftware for each circuit pack in the bay. When you insert the MI circuit pack,shelf controller, and message exchange circuit packs into the control shelf andpower up the control shelf, the software launches automatically.

When you insert a commissioning MI circuit pack into a new anduncommissioned network element, the Commissioning MI present alarm israised. The software release on the commissioning MI circuit pack becomesthe active release.

When you insert a commissioning MI circuit pack into a system that is alreadycommissioned and provisioned, there is no effect on the system other than araised Commissioning MI present alarm.

You can clear the Commissioning MI present alarm by replacing thecommissioning MI circuit pack with an ordinary MI circuit pack, or bycommitting the current software release of the network element on to thecommissioning MI circuit pack with the commitrel command.

Query the software to verify the software release by issuing the rel commandand acknowledge the release by issuing the commitrel command. The MIcircuit pack cannot be used to commission another system once the commitrelcommand is issued, unless you have restored the MI circuit pack tocommissioning status using the restorecmi command (see Procedure 4-10,“Restoring a commissioning MI circuit pack” on page 4-40).

Commissioning the network element typeThe final step is to commission the network element as a Repeater, Amplifier,or Optical Amplifier Shelf (OAS).



Facilities and equipment for the Repeater and OAS network elementsautoprovision, and the software is distributed to each circuit pack in the bay.You must manually create facilities and equipment for an Amplifier networkelement.

Site testingSite testing is the first level of testing after the network element iscommissioned. Site tests confirm equipment performance, traffic continuity,and other basic functions. Site testing of a Repeater requires a connection toupstream equipment or to a test set. Traffic continuity is monitored by a test setthrough optical fiber loopbacks on the 10 Gbit/s line.

Site testing procedures for the amplifiers are provided in: the followingOPTera Long Haul 1600 NTPs:

• part 1 of MOR Plus SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-225 (forMOR Plus applications)

• part 2 of MOR Plus SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-225 (forMOR Plus applications)

• part 1 of 1600G Amplifier Optical SLAT and Upgrade Procedures,323-1801-226 (for 1600G Amplifier applications).

• part 2 of 1600G Amplifier Optical SLAT and Upgrade Procedures,323-1801-226 (for 1600G Amplifier applications).

OPC commissioningYou must commission the partitioned OPC at the OPC site. You cannotremotely commission the partitioned OPC. The OPC is delivered withpreloaded software and with a backup library of software for the networkelements.

You must commission the primary OPC at the beginning of the SLAT andcommissioning process. During OPC commissioning, system-level data isentered on the OPC and its network ports are configured. The networkelements within the OPC span of control (SOC) are entered in theCommissioning Manager. Refer to System Commissioning and TestingProcedures, 323-1801-222 for details about commissioning the OPC.

Enter additional data (such as commissioning data for added networkelements) through a remote login session.

Optical SLAT proceduresPerform optical SLAT procedures after commissioning and site testing.Optical SLAT procedures include adding OPTera Long Haul 1600 densewavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) components to the optical fiberplant. System equalization and optical link testing are then also performed. Fordetails about optical SLAT procedures, refer to:

• part 1 of MOR Plus SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-225

• part 2 of MOR Plus SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-225

System testingDo not perform system testing on a stand-alone OPTera Long Haul 1600Amplifier system. Perform system testing on both the Amplifier networkelement and the equipment that feeds it to test the performance of the entiresystem. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for system testingrequirements when the equipment that feeds the Amplifier network elementoriginates from another vendor.

For system commissioning and testing procedures, see System Commissioningand Testing Procedures, 323-1801-222.

5-1

Connecting a circuit pack group to anetwork 5-

This chapter provides the procedures required to connect a WavelengthCombiner CPG, an ODPR CPG, or a single circuit pack to a network.

Loopback tests are used to verify traffic carrying and administrativecapabilities. These tests verify the operation of the tributary and high-speedoptical circuit packs. Perform loopback tests by looping back the opticaltransmitter outputs to the receiver inputs on the optical interface circuit packs.

The testing of an OC-192/STM-64 XR circuit pack or 10G WT circuit pack ona Repeater requires that the circuit packs be connected to the 10 Gbit/s testtraffic or upstream feeding equipment. This equipment can be LTE,transmultiplexer (TMux), 4-Fiber BLSR, 4-Fiber ADM, or other feedingequipment. Although the Repeater tests require connections between the testednetwork element and other network elements, the tests are not end-to-end testsbecause the full traffic path is not complete. System Commissioning andTesting Procedures, 323-1801-222, contains a description of end-to-end tests.

Refer to Chapter 2, “System lineup and testing process overview” and Chapter3, “Preparing a network element for commissioning” for figures that describethe correct steps to perform system lineup and test (SLAT) and to commissiona network element.

Note 1: The system testing procedures in this document refer to miniaturevariable optical attenuators (mVOA). However, it is possible to use fixedattenuators in place of mVOAs to perform these tests.

Note 2: When you have completed system testing, it is recommended thatyou remove any mVOAs that were added to perform the test procedures.Use fixed attenuators if you require attenuation to reach nominal receivervalues.

Use this procedure to connect the fiber-optic cables between the tributarycircuit packs of a Wavelength Combiner circuit pack group (CPG) and theremote OC-48/TN-16X terminal or Gigabit Ethernet subtending equipment.Also use this procedure to connect the Wavelength Combiner circuit packgroup to the network.

For a Nortel Networks OC-48/TN-16X ADM or LTE, the G1 and G2interfaces are connected to different Wavelength Combiner CPGs. See Table5-2 for descriptions of the connections.

Note 1: This procedure assumes that the subtending equipment isprotected. If it is not, then ignore the steps that refer to connecting theprotection circuit packs.

Note 2: If the test traffic source is connected through DWDM links, youmust optimize the DWDM links before adjusting the VOAs. If the DWDMdemultiplexers (Demux) contain VOAs, you can adjust the VOAs that arecontained in the DWDM demultiplexers instead of using additionalmVOAs.

Note 3: If your system is a DWDM system, then refer to MOR Plus SLATand Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-225, or part 1 and part 2 of 1600GAmplifier Optical SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-226, forprocedures on how to perform system lineup and testing of the optical link.

Procedure 5-3Connecting the remote line optical interfaces to theRepeater network element

This procedure is optional since equivalent testing is performed at the factoryprior to shipping the equipment to the field. You can use this procedure toperform progressive end-to-end testing. Use this procedure to:

• connect the fiber-optic cables from the remote line optical interfaces to theRepeater network element and perform loopback tests.

• test the traffic continuity for each XR and WT circuit pack in the Repeaternetwork element that are not part of an ODPR circuit pack group.

The remote line optical interfaces can be on:

• Another OPTera Long Haul 1600 Repeater

• Nortel Networks 10 Gbit/s ADM or line terminating equipment (LTE)traffic

• 10 Gbit/s ADM or LTE traffic from a supplier other than Nortel Networks

The connections to remote line optical interfaces can be:

• co-located bays in the same central office

• located at a remote site with communication through a non-DWDM link

• located at a remote site with communication through a DWDM link

Loopback testing requires traffic from one direction (test traffic source).Loopback testing does not require traffic from the opposite direction(non-traffic side).

Note 1: If the remote line optics are connected through DWDM links, youmust optimize the DWDM links before adjusting the VOAs. If the DWDMdemultiplexers (demux) contain VOAs, you can adjust the VOAs that arecontained in the DWDM demultiplexers instead of using additionalmVOAs.

a. OC-48/STM-16 feeds go to a 2.5G WT Rx port, and

b. OC-192/STM-64 feeds go to either a 10G WT or an OC-192/STM-64 XRRx port

Note: Circuit pack groups autoprovision separately, so WT east and westpartner circuit packs do not need to be in adjacent slots. However, XR eastand west partner circuit packs do need to be in adjacent slots. See theRepeater NE Network Application Guide (NTY316AK).

5 Repeat step 2 to step 4 until you have connected all feeding equipment.

Connecting fiber-optic cables from the transmit (Tx/OUT) interfaces of the Repeater to the test trafficsource

Testing traffic continuity at the Repeater network element

15 If the test traffic source is an LTE and has protection, make sure that the trafficat the LTE is on the G1 circuit pack group. See Protection SwitchingProcedures, 323-1801-311.

16 Reset the test set and monitor the error count for ten minutes. The displaymust indicate 0 errors after ten minutes.

17 Record the results on “Data Form: Testing traffic continuity at the Repeaternetwork element” on page 7-7.

18 If the test traffic source is an LTE and has protection:

a. perform a manual protection switch on the G1 circuit pack group to switchtraffic to the G2 circuit pack group. See Protection Switching Procedures,323-1801-311.

b. repeat step 16 to step 17 to test traffic continuity on the G2 circuit packgroup.

Removing the loopbacks and connecting the Repeater network element to the network(non-traffic side)

Note 1: Refer to your network configuration diagram to set up connectionsfrom the test traffic source to the network (non-traffic side).

Note 2: If the test traffic source is connected through DWDM links, you mustoptimize the DWDM links before adjusting the VOAs. If the DWDMdemultiplexers (Demux) contain VOAs, you can adjust the VOAs that arecontained in the DWDM demultiplexers instead of using additional mVOAs.

See Figure 5-9 on page 5-28 for the connections you set up from step 19 tostep 29 between the Repeater network element and the non-traffic side.

19 Disconnect the optical test cord from the receive (Rx/IN) port of the trafficpartner interfaces that you connected in step 13.
