Procedure 5-1: Equip new Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer Extend for Add/Drop Multiplexer (ADM) applications

- Overview

Use this procedure to initially equip and test a new Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend for Add/Drop Multiplexer (ADM) applications. With this configuration, the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend is expected to be incorporated into a network (for example, UPSR) using the Main OLIUs.

This procedure assumes that all hardwired installation and testing of the unequipped Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend shelf is done. It also assumes that power is applied to the shelf.

The basic purpose of this procedure is to:

  • Install and test system-required circuit packs and software.

  • Install and test optional circuit packs that you want to install at initial installation.

  • Test the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend for proper and alarm free operation before placing into the network.

Additional references are provided at the end of this procedure for provisioning optional system and circuit pack port parameters.

- Privilege level

You must log in as a Privileged user to complete this procedure.

Important!

Some of the steps and procedures referenced in this procedure provide information on provisioning port parameters. If you provision parameters after installing each circuit pack, then you should NOT perform the part of the procedure in Step 28 to reset all provisionable parameters to default values.

Depending on local procedures, you may set the circuit pack and/or port parameters in this procedure, or reference the appropriate procedures in this document when you are ready to establish your network and service configurations.

- Before you begin

Before you begin this procedure:

  1. Refer to Before you begin and Required equipment in this chapter.

  2. Refer to Laser safety and Electrostatic discharge information in Chapter 1, Safety.

  3. Obtain the work instructions for this procedure which state the quantity and type of circuit packs to be installed.

  4. Verify that you have the proper type and code of circuit packs being installed.

  5. If required, ensure that correct pluggable optical modules are available for installation. For reference, see Procedure 4-16: Install pluggable transmission modules.

  6. If system and circuit pack port parameters are being set at this time, ensure you have a full set of work instructions detailing the values of the parameters being set.

It is suggested that you first install and test all the required circuit packs, perform the necessary system tests, reset all provisionable parameters to factory default values, then provision system and port parameters from values given in your work instructions.

DANGER 

NOTICE

Service-disruption hazard

Improperly-seated circuit packs or missing apparatus blanks may cause service hits on in-service systems.

All slots in Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend must be equipped with fully-seated circuit packs or apparatus blanks to prevent service hits on in-service systems.

Install 177D Apparatus Blanks or LNW98 Detectable Apparatus Blanks in any unused slot in Group D1/D2 or G1/G2. Install LNW43 Apparatus Blanks or LNW96 Detectable Apparatus Blanks in any unused slot in Group A1/B1 or A2/B2. Install LNW42 Apparatus Blanks or LNW95 Detectable Apparatus Blanks in an unused Main 2 slot.

Important!

All slots in the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend must be equipped with fully-seated circuit packs or apparatus blanks.


22

Important!

A deeper shelf cover (comcode 849064282) is required for shelves equipped with LNW55 OC3/OC12/OC48, LNW84 OC3/OC12/OC48, LNW705 XM10G/8, and/or LNW785 OMD circuit packs. This shelf cover provides more space to prevent fibers from touching the front cover when the cover is closed.

If required, verify that the shelf is equipped with the deeper shelf cover.

Reference:

Procedure 14-12: Test function unit equipment protection switching


27

Check office alarm interface by local procedure, if required.


28

Perform one of the following depending on whether or not you have already provisioned circuit packs and ports for service:

  • Circuit packs and/or ports were provisioned in this procedure:

    Perform the following to delete any cross-connections, loopbacks, or protection switches that may have been made during testing:
    1. Select View → Cross-Connections from the System View menu. Select Shelf from the View Cross Connections window, then click Select. Print or save the cross-connections to be deleted, then click Close. Select Configuration → Cross-Connections from the System View window to start the Cross Connection Wizard. Follow the instruction in the Wizard to delete the necessary cross-connections.

    2. Select View → Loopback from the System View menu. Select Shelf from the View Loopbacks window, then click Select. Print or save the existing loopbacks to be released, then click Close.

      Select Fault → Analysis → Loopback from the System View menu. Expand the details in the Loopback window, select the port with the loopback to be released, then click Select. Select Release and the Loopback Type, then click Apply at the bottom of the Loopback window. Click Yes to the Warning message to release the loopback. Click Close to exit.

    3. Select View → Protection from the System View menu. Select the required protection group, then click Select. Note the Protection Switch State. Repeat for each protection group, then click Close.

      If required, select Fault → Protection Switch from the System View menu to access the required protection group and clear any protection switches. Click Apply and click Yes. If required, repeat for each protection group, then click Close.

  • Circuit packs and/or ports were not provisioned in this procedure:

    The following command resets all system provisionable parameters and cross-connections to factory default values. If you have already set provisionable parameters for the installed circuit packs/ports, they will be reset to factory default values.

    From the System View menu, select Fault → Reset → Initialize System to reset system parameters to default values, if required. Read all the warnings and follow the prompts to execute the command.

Result:

You will be logged off the system during the controller reset and provisionable parameters will be set to factory default.

A flashing b in the IND display on the SYSCTL indicates that a boot is in progress. During the boot, the b may extinguish for up to 20 seconds and then resume flashing.

Holdover alarm may also occur since timing mode reverts back to External. If required to silence the alarm, select Configuration → Timing/Sync and provision the system timing mode to Free Running.

If the sockets on LNW55 and LNW84 multirate OLIU circuit packs are equipped with pluggable transmission modules, the system reports unexpected or failed Pluggable Transmission Module alarms. If desired, select Configuration → Equipment to access the affected ports and provision the port Signal Type parameter the required rate that matches the pluggable transmission module.


29

Set/Change system TID (NE name), as required.

Important!

The TID is a case-insensitive character string from 1 to 20 characters and must be unique for each NE in the network.

Reference:

Procedure 7-11: Set/change system TID


30

Provision optional system parameters as required from work order or office records.

Reference:


31

Establish the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend subnetwork, when required.
