Safety
Overview
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Purpose
The aim of this chapter on safety is to provide users of Metropolis

AMU systems with the relevant information and safety guidelines to
safeguard against personal injury. Furthermore, this chapter may be
useful to prevent material damage to the equipment.
The present chapter on safety must be read by the responsible
technical personnel before carrying out relevant work on the system.
The valid version of this document must always be kept close to the
equipment.
Potential sources of
danger
The Metropolis AMU systems have been developed in line with the
present state-of-the-art and fulfils the current national and international
safety requirements. They are provided with a high degree of
operational safety resulting from many years of development
experience and continuous stringent quality checks in our company.
The equipment is safe in normal operation. There are, however, some
potential sources of danger that cannot be completely eliminated. In
particular, these arise during the:
opening of housings or equipment covers,
manipulation of any kind within the equipment, even if it has

been disconnected from the power supply,
disconnection of optical or electrical connections,
installation or removement of SFPs,
through possible contact with the following:
live parts,
laser light,

Structure
of safety instructions
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
General structure
All safety instructions include a warning symbol and a signal word

that classify the danger, and a text block that contains descriptions of
the type and cause of the danger, the consequences of ignoring the
safety instruction and the measures that can be taken to minimise the
danger.
Example:
DANGER
Injury to eyes caused by invisible laser radiation.
Metropolis AMU systems operate with invisible laser
radiation. Laser radiation can cause considerable injuries to
the eyes.
Never look into the end of an exposed fiber or into an
open optical connector as long as the optical source is
switched on. Always observe the laser warning
instructions (cf. Laser safety (1-9)).
Danger classification
There are three classes of safety instructions: DANGER,

WARNING and CAUTION. Which class is relevant depends on
the consequences of ignoring the safety instruction:
DANGER
Serious injury is definite or likely.
WARNING
Serious injury is possible.
CAUTION
Minor injury is definite, likely or possible, or

material damage to the product or in the product
environment is definite or likely.

General safety
requirements
In order to keep the technically unavoidable residual risk to a

minimum, it is imperative to observe the following rules:
Transport, storage and operation of the system must be under the

permissible conditions only.
See accompanying documentation and information on the system.
Installation, configuration and disassembly must be carried out

only by expert personnel and with reference to the respective
documentation.
Due to the complexity of the system, the personnel requires
special training.
The system must be operated by expert and authorised users

only.
The user must operate the system only after having read and
understood this chapter on safety and the parts of the
documentation relevant to operation. For complex systems,
additional training is recommended. Any obligatory training for
operating and service personnel must be carried out and

Overview
Optical fiber telecommunication systems, their associated test sets, and

similar operating systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that
emit infrared (IR) light at wavelengths between approximately 800
nanometers and 1600 nanometers. The emitted light is above the red
end of the visible spectrum, which is normally not visible to the
human eye. Although radiant energy at near-IR wavelengths is
officially designated invisible, some people can see the shorter
wavelength energy even at power levels several orders of magnitude
below any that have been shown to cause injury to the eye.
Conventional lasers can produce an intense beam of monochromatic
light. The term monochromaticity means a single wavelength output
of pure color that may be visible or invisible to the eye. A
conventional laser produces a small-size beam of light, and because
the beam size is small the power density (also called irradiance) is
very high. Consequently, lasers and laser products are subject to
federal and applicable state regulations as well as international
standards for their safe operation.
A conventional laser beam expands very little over distance, or is said
to be very well collimated. Thus, conventional laser irradiance
remains relatively constant over distance. However, lasers used in
lightwave systems have a large beam divergence, typically 10 to 20
degrees. Here, irradiance obeys the inverse square law (doubling the
distance reduces the irradiance by a factor of 4) and rapidly decreases
over distance.
Lasers and eye damage
The optical energy emitted by laser and high-radiance LEDs in the

400-1400 nm range may cause eye damage if absorbed by the retina.
When a beam of light enters the eye, the eye magnifies and focuses
the energy on the retina magnifying the irradiance. The irradiance of
the energy that reaches the retina is approximately 105 or 100,000
times more than at the cornea and, if sufficiently intense, may cause a
retinal burn.
The damage mechanism at the wavelengths used in an optical fiber
telecommunications is thermal in origin i.e., damage caused by
heating. Therefore, a specific amount of energy is required for a
definite time to heat an area of retinal tissue. Damage to the retina
occurs only when one looks at the light sufficiently long that the
product of the retinal irradiance and the viewing time exceeds the
damage threshold. Optical energies above 1400 nm cause corneal and
skin burns but do not affect the retina. The thresholds for injury at

wavelengths greater than 1400 nm are significantly higher than for

wavelengths in the retinal hazard region.
Classification of lasers
Lightwave safety
precautions for optical
fiber telecommununication
systems
Manufacturers of lasers and laser products in the U.S. are regulated by

the Food and Drug Administrations Center for Devices and
Radiological Health (FDA/CDRH) under 21 CFR 1040. These
regulations require manufacturers to certify each laser or laser product
as belonging to one of four major Classes I, II, lla, IlIa, lllb, or IV.
The International Electro-technical Commission is an international
standards body that writes laser safety standards under IEC-60825.
Classification schemes are similar with Classes divided into Classes 1,
1M, 2, 2M, 3B, 3R and 4. Lasers are classified according to the
accessible emission limits and their potential for causing injury.
Optical fiber telecommunication systems are generally classified as
Class I/1, because, under normal operating conditions, all energized
laser transmitting circuit packs are terminated on optical fibers which
enclose the laser energy with the fiber sheath forming a protective
housing. Also, a protective housing / access panel is typically installed
in front of the laser circuit pack shelves. The circuit packs themselves,
however, may be FDA/CDRH Class I or IIIb or IEC Class 1, 1M, 3B,
3R or 4. State of the art Raman and EDFA optical amplifiers have
now extended into the Class IV/4 designations.
In its normal operating mode, an optical fiber telecommunication
system is totally enclosed and presents no risk of eye injury. It is a
Class I/1 system under the FDA and IEC classifications.
The fiber optic cables that interconnect various components of an
optical fiber telecommunication system can disconnect or break, and
may expose people to laser emissions. Also, certain measures and
maintenance procedures may expose the technician to emission from
the semiconductor laser during installation and servicing. Unlike more
familiar laser devices, such as solid-state and gas lasers, the emission
pattern of a semiconductor laser results in a highly divergent beam. In
a divergent beam, the irradiance (power density) decreases rapidly
with distance. The greater the distance, the less energy will enter the
eye, and the less potential risk for eye injury. Inadvertently viewing an
unterminated fiber or damaged fiber with the unaided eye at distances
greater than 5 to 6 inches normally will not cause eye injury provided
the power in the fiber is less than a few milliwatts at the near IR
wavelengths and a few tens of milliwatts at the far IR wavelengths.
However, damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a
microscope, magnifying glass or eye loupe is used to stare at the
energized fiber end.

Important! Use of controls, adjustments and procedures other

radiation exposure.
Laser safety precautions
for enclosed systems
Laser safety precautions

for unenclosed systems
Under normal operating conditions, optical fiber telecommunication

systems are completely enclosed; nonetheless, the following
precautions shall be observed:
1.
Because of the potential for eye damage, technicians should not

stare into optical connectors or broken fibers.
2.
Under no circumstance shall laser/fiber optic operations be

performed by a technician before satisfactorily completing
training in laser safety.
3.
Since viewing laser emissions directly in excess of Class I/1

limits with an optical instrument such as an eye loupe greatly
increases the risk of eye damage.
During service, maintenance, or restoration, an optical fiber

telecommunication system is considered unenclosed. Under these
conditions, follow these practices:
1.
Only authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to do

service, maintenance and restoration. Avoid exposing the eye to
emissions from unterminated, energized optical connectors at
close distances. Laser modules associated with the optical ports
of laser circuit packs are typically recessed, which limits the
exposure distance. Optical port shutters, Automatic Power
Reduction (APR), and Automatic Power Shut Down (APSD) are
engineering controls that are also used to limit the emissions.
However, technicians removing or replacing laser circuit packs
should not stare or look directly into the optical port with optical
instruments or magnifying lenses. (Normal eyewear or indirect
viewing instruments such as Find-R-Scopes are not considered
magnifying lenses or optical instruments).
2.
Only authorized, trained personnel shall use optical test

equipment during installation or servicing since this equipment
contains semiconductor lasers. (Some examples of optical test
equipment are Optical Time Domain Reflectometers (OTDRs),
Hand-Held Loss Test Sets).
3.
Under no circumstances shall any personnel scan a fiber with an

optical test set without verifying that all laser sources on the fiber
are turned off.
4.
All unauthorized personnel shall be excluded from the immediate

area of the optical fiber telecommunication systems during
installation and service.

Electrostatic
discharge
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Introduction
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), caused by touching with the hand for

example, can destroy semiconductor components. The correct
operation of the complete system is then no longer assured.
Industry experience has shown that all semiconductor components can
be damaged by static electricity that builds up on work surfaces and
personnel. The electrostatic discharge can also affect the components
indirectly via contacts or conductor tracks. The electrostatic charges
are produced by various charging effects of movement and contact
with other objects. Dry air allows greater static charges to accumulate.
Higher potentials are measured in areas with low relative humidity,
but potentials high enough to cause damage can occur anywhere.
The barred-hand symbol
cards containing components that are especially sensitive to

electrostatic discharge are identified by warning labels bearing the
barred-hand symbol.
ESD instructions
The following ESD instructions must be observed when handling

main and tributary cards, option cards and/or SFPs:
Wear working garment made of 100% cotton to avoid

electrostatic charging.
Touch the cards/SFPs at the edges only.
Ensure that the Metropolis AMU units are grounded.
Wear conductively connected wrist straps and connect them to an

ESD bonding point.
Work in an area which is protected against electrostatic

discharge. Use conducting floor and bench mats which are
conductively connected to an ESD bonding point.
Conductively connect all test equipment and trolleys to an ESD

bonding point.
Store and ship the cards/SFPs in their shipping packing. The

cards/SFPs must be packed and unpacked only at workplaces
suitably protected against build-up of charge.
Whenever possible, maintain the relative humidity of air above

20%.

Description
The Metropolis AMU is a compact SDH Multiplexer, enabling

cost-effective STM-1, STM-4 and STM-16 (future release) Add/Drop
Multiplexer solutions. Several mechanical variants are defined to
target specific applications. The Metropolis AMU 2m/4o has 6 slots
(2x main and 4x tributary) and is optimized for high capacity and
protected Central Office applications. The Metropolis AMU 1m/1o
has 2 slots (1x main and 1x tributary) and is targeted for lower cost
and unprotected applications. One set of cards and one software load
is used across the various mechanical configurations of the AMU.
The Metropolis AMU start-up configuration, just one main card,
already supports 2 hot-pluggable STM-1 or STM-4 multirate
interfaces and 2 hot-pluggable STM-1 single rate interfaces. Most of
the existing AM/AMS option cards can be fitted via an adapter card,
which occupies two tributary slots. In the Metropolis AMU 2m/4o a
second main card can be fitted for high-availability configurations or
to increase the amount of interfaces.
An overview over all available tributary and option cards is given in
Table 2-2, Available tributary and option cards (2-5).
Racks
The Metropolis AMU unit can be mounted into 600 mm x 300 mm

(WxD) or 600 mm x 600 mm (WxD) racks. However, this manual
describes only the subrack installation to ETSI and 19 racks.
Depending on the rack height, the max. number of Metropolis AMU
units within one rack can vary according to the table below.

It is not mandatory to have an LBO (Lightguide Build-Out)

between the SFP and the connected optical cable. However, in
the case of measurements with optical loops and/or connecting
power meters an LBO (15 dB) can be required. An LBO can also
be necessary to ensure the correct input power (see chapter 8,
section Optical received power test (8-2)).
Configuration and Provisioning
A receptacle for a pluggable module (SFP) can have the following

administrative states:
MODULE ACCEPTED When a module is allowed in a

receptacle.
MODULE REJECTED When a module is inserted in a

receptacle and this module is not recognizable or not allowed in
this location.
MODULE NOT PRESENT When a module is removed from a

receptacle.

365-312-784
Issue 2, July 2004
General information
For each module location the system can store the parameters of the
Current Module and the parameters of the Last Accepted Module:
The Current Module entry contains the parameters of the

module that is currently inserted in the receptacle, provided the
contents are accessible and have a correct checksum, otherwise
the Current Module entry is empty. In case a module is
removed the Current Module entry is cleared.
The Last Accepted Module entry contains the parameters of the

module that has most recently been accepted in the receptacle. At
start-up this entry is empty. Upon an alarm-free transition to the
MODULE ACCEPTED state the data of the Current Module
entry is copied to the Last Accepted Module entry.
Benefits
The Current Module parameters are to help the user to see what the
properties are of the inserted module in case problems arise.
The Last Accepted Module parameters provide the user with the
last known good module data. A comparison of the two can help to
determine why a newly inserted module does not behave as expected.
Once the new module is alarm-free accepted, the Current Module
data is copied to the Last Accepted Module location. The two
entries remain equal until the module is removed.
If qualified and correct speed modules are present, the system will
accept and use those without further provisioning actions.

The system was developed in compliance with the ETSI Mesh Ground
requirements. This means EMC compliance and personnel safety can
be achieved only if the system is connected to a System-Reference
Potential Plane (SRPP) at many places as described in ETS 300 253
(see the figure below).
All peripheral equipment and its protective earth/ground must also be
connected to the SRPP by one or more fixed wires.
The EMC/ESD boundary is defined at unit level. The principle is

based on the Faraday Cage theory. If there are covers, then the
covers must be closed.
Card and SFP handling
The following ESD instructions must be observed when handling

main and tributary cards, option cards and/or SFPs:
Wear working garment made of 100% cotton to avoid

electrostatic charging.
Touch the cards/SFPs at the edges only.
Ensure that the Metropolis AMU units are grounded.
Wear conductively connected wrist straps and connect them to an

ESD bonding point.
Work in an area which is protected against electrostatic

discharge. Use conducting floor and bench mats which are

Overview
This section describes the mounting of an empty Metropolis AMU

2m/4o subrack to an ETSI or 19 rack.
Rack mounting
Important! Before performing the procedure described below,

please be aware of the following:
The minimum distance between the lowest Metropolis AMU

unit(s) and the rack bottom must be 100 mm.
If it is required to mount Metropolis AMU units upon the

others, it must be observed to have a minimum distance of 200
mm [7.874] in between (measured from top of the lower unit to
bottom of the upper unit).
If any other equipment than Metropolis AMU units is mounted

within the same rack, it is highly recommended to mount a heat
baffle (CC300510120) between the Metropolis AMU units and
the other equipment to assure thermal separation of the units.
Dependent on the rack type one of the following AMU basic

mounting kits is needed for performing the procedure described
below: CC109509836 (for ETSI rack) or CC109509810 (for 19
rack).
Proceed as follows to mount Metropolis AMU 2m/4o units into

a rack:
............................................................................................................................................................
Mount two mounting brackets (bars) which are part of the AMU basic
mounting kit to the rack with three hexagon bolts M6x16 and one
ESD grounding screw as shown in Figure 3-2, Bracket mounting
(3-6). The distance must be 250 mm in ETSI racks and 265 mm in
19 racks.
............................................................................................................................................................
Stick the ESD label above the ESD grounding screw.

............................................................................................................................................................
Mount the empty Metropolis AMU 2m/4o subrack to the installed

mounting brackets (bars) with four M4 screws as shown in Figure
3-3, AMU 2m/4o subrack mounting (3-7).
NOTE: ETSI brackets are shown in that figure.
............................................................................................................................................................
If required, mount a second subrack next to the installed one.

Equipment protection (future release)
One main card in slot MAIN-1 is required for normal operation. In a

redundant configuration two main cards are needed for equipment
protection. Although the two main cards are physically identical, their
functional behavior is different. The main cards are functionally
separated into two groups: the core group includes the crossconnect,
STM-N interfaces, timing and power functions; the control group
includes the system database and file system and all management
protocols and interfaces. The control group always resides on slot
MAIN-1. This implies that all external management interfaces
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

365-312-784
Issue 2, July 2004

(MDIOs, LAN, CIT, EOW, USB and system debug port) are always
connected to the card in MAIN-1. The core group supports equipment
protection and when two main cards are fitted a failure or removal of
one side will trigger an equipment protection switch.
Card mounting
CAUTION
Destruction of components by electrostatic
discharge.
Electronic components can be destroyed by electrostatic
discharge.
Hold the cards only at the edges or on the screw locks.
Always observe the ESD instructions (see ESD
instructions (1-14)).
Before you begin with the procedure below make sure that the
required Metropolis AMU configuration is known. Then proceed
as follows to install the main and tributary cards:
............................................................................................................................................................
Insert the card by holding it at the screw locks, when it is positioned

inside the upper and lower guiding extrusions in a horizontal level of
the guidings, which does not exceed an angle greater than 15 from
the horizontal level of the guides (principle is shown for 1m/1o
subrack in Figure 3-17, Card insertion (3-25)).
............................................................................................................................................................
Plug the card in the backplane connector of the subrack and secure it
via the screw locks.

Cable routing
The purpose of this chapter is to provide all pin assignments of the

unit interfaces and some cabling instructions for a proper system
cabling.
Additional cable information is given in the following sections:
Appendix B, Cable specifications
Appendix C, Cable assembly instructions.
Due to the amount of cables the following routing rules should be

regarded:
The cables should be led within the recommended cable

boundary lines according to Figure 4-2, Preferred cable
boundary lines (4-3).
The cables should always be led at the inside of the rack frame
(to rack top or bottom).
Where possible, the cables should be fixed with (velcro)

cablebinders at the square cutouts of the mounting brackets (see
Figure 4-1, Cable routing (4-2)).
If necessary, use additional cable routing aids like hooks, fiber

guides, etc.
Use a bending radius of at least 30 mm for fiber cables.

Before connecting any power cables be sure that all circuit breakers
which are located in the external Battery Distribution and Fuse Bay
(BDFB) and/or on a Power Distribution Panel (PDP) are in the OFF
position!
NOTE: The power must also be removed from the system in case of
extracting a main card!
Important! The power cables should be connected later (see
section Switching on and testing supply voltage (5-6))!

General
The four Miscellaneous Discrete Inputs (MDIs) are intended for

customer usage. The inputs can be used to collect status information
from the Metropolis AMU itself or from other transmission or
non-transmission equipment like power supply systems, intruder
detectors or fire detectors.
An MDI is active when it is supplied by an external nominal 24 or 48
VDC voltage. This causes current to flow through the diode part of
the opto-coupler and causes the opto transistor to saturate. The
saturated transistor pulls the GPIO signal to a logic 0. Each MDI
anode and cathode of the opto-coupler are connected to the 25-pins
Sub-D connector.
The MDIs shall be floating with respect to system ground. Activation
of MDI requires an external voltage in the range of 18-72 V (Imax of
4mA by one input).

The four Miscellaneous Discrete Outputs (MDOs) can be used to

drive signalling devices or to influence the behavior of equipment
external to the system. Each GPIO for the MDO interfaces with a
relay driver which controls a mechanical relay. All MDOs have their
common, normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) contacts
brought to the Sub-D connector. Normally it is the non-energized state
of the relay which is shown in the figures. When GPIO becomes
active, the relay is energized and the MDO output is activated.
The MDOs shall float with respect to system ground.

An active MDO shall behave as a voltage free resistance of less than

10 between the output connection and its associated return. It shall
be capable of carrying currents of not more than 0.5 A. An inactive
MDO shall behave as a voltage free resistance of more than 500 k
between the output connection and its associated return. It shall be
capable of withstanding voltages of not more than 72 VDC.
The MDO contacts shall be capable of sustaining the product of above
mentioned current and voltage during transitions.

On each main card are two hot-pluggable multirate (STM-1/STM-4)

and two single rate (STM-1) interfaces located. The multirate
interfaces can be provisioned either as STM-1 or as STM-4 ports via
a management system.
Optical connectors
The optical line interfaces can be equipped with various SFPs (Small
Form-Factor Pluggable Optics). All SFPs are equipped with 45
rotatable LC connectors. The next figure shows the variable SFP
module system.

NOTE: The routing of the fibers should be in accordance with the

specifications for the selected fiber. Care should be taken not to
exceed the bending radius of about 30 mm when placing the fibers.
Exceeding the recommended radius may cause distortion and poor
signal quality. All fibers should be strain relieved to prevent any force
from being exerted on the connectors. See also section Cable
routing at the beginning of this chapter.
Clean all connections, as required, before attaching (see Appendix A,

Overview
This section describes the procedure for powering the system. Please
observe the order of steps described below.
Because each of the 4 power interfaces (if two main cards are
available) can be used for powering, the test described below must be
performed for each interface.
The power cables consist of 3 wires with a diameter of max. 1.5 mm2.
In that case 4 A rack fuses must be used.
Procedure
Proceed as follows to switch on and test the power supply:

............................................................................................................................................................
Check the voltage at the external Battery Distribution and Fuse Bay
(BDFB) or at the Power Distribution Panel (if available) and enter the
measured value in the result table (see chapter 9, Power supply
measurements (9-2)).
Result:
The voltage must be in the following range: 39 VDC ... 72

VDC.
NOTE: Do not proceed if the voltage is outside the range!
............................................................................................................................................................
Switch the power off.

............................................................................................................................................................
Connect one power cable between the BATT 1 interface of the

Metropolis AMU (main card) and the BDFB (or PDP).
............................................................................................................................................................
Switch the power on.

............................................................................................................................................................
Check that the red FAIL LED of the connected main card is
illuminating.
............................................................................................................................................................

Overview
Before you begin
Procedure
Creating a node provides the basic information necessary to place an

NE into service.
Before starting to create a node determine the following:
the name, address, and location of the node are known.
the location and type of cards physically present in the NE are

known.
the main card must be assigned before the interfaces associated

with this card can be assigned. For example, a tributary card
must be assigned before the ports for this card can be assigned.
NOTE: Any mistake in provisioning the slots will result in a
failure when attempting to create the node. When a mistake has
been made, after clicking Finish, the error message Slot
configuration conflict appears. The node creation has failed, and
the entire node creation process must be repeated.
To create an association with the ITM-SC, the NE cannot be in

an isolated state (as a default condition, each NE arrives from the
factory in an isolated state). To view if the NE is in the isolated
state, select Management Overlay Comms Network DCN.
If the NE is in the isolated state, click Edit. The window Edit
Provisioned DCN Information then appears. In this window,
change (or reselect) any of the displayed parameters and click OK.
Doing so will remove the NE from the isolation state and an
association with the ITM-SC will now be possible.

MIB state
Description
Filled Unknown
The NE has a MIB, however, it is of unknown

validity. This can occur, for instance, if one SC is
replaced by another SC having a MIB.
Filled Not
Confirmed
The NE has a MIB, however, it has not yet been

confirmed by the ITM-CIT or ITM-SC. The
procedure Confirm/Update the MIB (6-25) gives
the steps necessary to confirm the MIB. Once
confirmed the state will become Filled.
Waiting for
Upload
This state is only possible when the NE is

managed by the ITM-SC. After confirmation of
the MIB, the NE performs a reset and loses its
association with the ITM-SC. When the NE
restarts, the MIB state becomes Waiting for
Upload. When the ITM-SC reassociates with the
NE and detects this MIB state, a MIB upload is
performed, and the state will then become Filled.
Management state
The state of the association with the ITM-SC is displayed. The

possible states are described in the table below.
Management
state
Description
Normal
Normal will be displayed whenever management

operations have been completed. In other words,
the ITM-SC has completed the MIB upload, MIB
download, MIB resynchronization, or reevaluation
of fault status. The state can also be Normal when
the association between the ITM-CIT/ITM-SC and
the NE has been lost.
Uploading
The ITM-SC is performing an MIB upload.
Resyncing
If the MIB of the NE and the MIB image on the

ITM-SC are out of synchronization, then the
ITM-SC invokes a resynchronization. The
management state shows the progress of this
operation. If executed properly, it should display,
in order: Normal, Resyncing, Normal,
ReEvaluatingFaultStatus, Normal.
ReEvaluating
FaultStatus
After a resynchronization, the ITM-SC initiates a

reevaluate fault status operation.

Purpose
Before you begin
This chapter describes acceptance tests procedures that must be

performed to ensure that the installation of the NE with all assembled
parts, such as circuit packs and cabling, is completed and functioning
correctly. Tests for individual parts are not required, as these have
been performed in the factory.
carrying out any tests:
All NEs must be mounted and cabled correctly (see Chapters 3

and 4).
The battery voltages are connected to the power connector and

checked (see chapter 5). An earth connection has been made.
The correct software has been installed (see chapter 6).
The area address must be available to enter into the DCN

parameters. This is required to get the card out of the (OSI)
isolated state.
The people carrying out the tests are familiar with Metropolis
AMU, the SDH functionality, the ITM-CIT software and the
handling of the test equipment.

Overview
Additional remarks
The following should also be observed:
If the acceptance involves a Metropolis AMU NE without a

tributary card and without the DDF cabling, then the test is very
limited, as all ports are factory tested.
If a DDF is involved the connected cabling needs to be tested for

each interface. This is done by executing the port test on the
DDF.
If a tributary card is involved then each port of this card has to

be tested on the outlet of the Metropolis AMU or, if applicable,
on the DDF, to prove a proper function.

Important! If the to be applied Area Address is not available
then we suggest leaving the card isolated until the value is
available. The reason for this is that value 0000 is reserved for
newly installed cards and should not be used in live networks.
Editing the area address will get the NE out of the isolated state.

Overview
This test checks the connections of the optical (STM-1 or STM-4)

Line Ports. The correct labeling on the ODF is checked by monitoring
the source of the reported alarm. The quality of the physical optical
connections to the ODF is checked by measuring the optical power
and by performing a receiver sensitivity test. This test covers the
procedure for one port. If more ports need to be checked this
procedure should be repeated.
If qualified and correct speed modules are present, the system will
accept and use those without further provisioning actions. More SFP
information is given in chapter 2, section Pluggable SFPs (2-3).

verification test
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Overview
This test can be used to verify if the physical fiber connections

between the local and remote ODF are in place as intended. This is
done by checking if the correct source id on the remote node is
displayed after removing the transmit fiber from the local port.
Normally this test is only executed on line interfaces. However, if the
tributary port is part of an important link one could decide to execute
this test as well. For example when the NE is the ring closure
network element. The test describes only one direction but both
directions should be tested.

Overview
This test describes the procedure for the transmission stability test to
prove the transmission quality of the link by monitoring one VC-4
channel over a longer period of time.
Normally this test is only executed on line interfaces. However, if the
tributary port is part of an important link one could decide to execute
this test as well. For example when the NE is the ring closure
network element.
Important! Please obeserve the following:

Fiber
cleaning
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Overview
This procedure describes the Lucent recommended method for the

cleaning and inspection of optical connectors using specific tools and
materials that have been proven to be effective in the assembly and
testing of optical transmission equipment. It is critical that the
connector endfaces are clean and free from particular contamination to
assure proper performance and reliability of lightwave systems. With
the modern high-speed, high-power and wider bandwidth optical
transmission systems, clean connectors along the optical path are
absolutely essential for successful operation.
Before working with optical fiber cables please observe the following
safety warnings:
DANGER
Never look into the end of an exposed fiber or plug-in
optical connectors as long as the optical source is switched
on.
CAUTION
To avoid cable break ensure that the bending radius of
optical fiber cables is not less than 30 mm.
Cleaning of optical
connectors
Optical connectors are only to be cleaned in accordance with the

cleaning instructions listed below.
If impurities are assumed, the use of a fiberscope is recommended in
order to check the connector face for impurities (e.g. fluff, dust
particles). A fiberscope with a magnification x 200 is preferred.
Connectors
If impurities are discovered, the optical connector must be

cleaned in accordance with the following rules:
............................................................................................................................................................
Wipe off the connector face lengthwise (not with a circular motion!)
using a smooth tissue (moistened with isopropanol).
............................................................................................................................................................
Wipe off the connector face lengthwise (not with a circular motion!)
using a dry and smooth tissue.

365-312-784
Issue 2, July 2004
Fiber cleaning
............................................................................................................................................................
Then let the connector face air-dry (the isopropanol must evaporate
completely!). As an option, purified compressed air can also be used
for drying.
............................................................................................................................................................
If necessary, the connector face can additionally be dabbed on the tape

dispenser.
............................................................................................................................................................
Finally check the connector face for cleanliness using the fiberscope.
If the connector impurities were not removed completely during the
first cleaning procedure, repeat Step 1 to Step 5 until the result is
satisfactory.
E
ND OF STEPS
............................................................................................................................................................
NOTE:
Do not connect the optical connectors without checking them for

impurities under the fiberscope!
Coupling
Impurities caused by dust particles or fluff etc. can also occur on

the optical coupling. To clean the coupling follow the instructions
below:
............................................................................................................................................................
Soak the coupling cleaner in isopropanol and move it back and forth
in the coupling several times.
............................................................................................................................................................
Blow purified compressed air through the coupling and visually check
for residual impurities by holding it to the light.
Important! Lightguide Build-Outs (LBOs) may be damaged
when compressed air is used for drying. Therefore, do not use
compressed air for drying LBOs.

NE
Network Element. The NE is comprised of telecommunication equipment (or groups/parts of

telecommunication equipment) and support equipment that performs network element functions.
A Network Element has one or more standard Q-type interfaces.
Node
A node or network element is defined as all equipment that is controlled by one system
controller.
Non-revertive switching
In non-revertive switching, there is an active and standby high-speed line, circuit pack, etc.
When a protection switch occurs, the standby line, circuit pack, etc., is selected causing the old
standby line, circuit pack, etc., to be used for the new active line, circuit pack, etc. The original
active line, circuit pack, etc., becomes the standby line, circuit pack, etc. This status remains in
effect when the fault clears. Therefore, this protection scheme is non-revertive in that there is
no switch back to the original status in effect before the fault occurred.
