Procedure 4-14: Install Gigabit Ethernet circuit packs
Overview
Use this procedure to install the following circuit packs:
Important!
If installing LNW64 GBE PL circuit packs, the Main slots must be equipped with Very Large Fabric LNW84 or LNW141 OLIU circuit packs. If the Main slots are not equipped with Very Large Fabric LNW84 or LNW141 OLIU circuit packs, the system reports a CP not allowed - eqpt alarm.
Equipage guidelines (Main slots not equipped with Very Large Fabric circuit packs)
If the Main slots are not equipped with Very Large Fabric LNW84 or LNW141 OLIU circuit packs circuit packs, the Gigabit Ethernet circuit packs are supported in slot 1 or slot 2 of Function/Growth group D and/or G. However, it is recommended that the Gigabit Ethernet circuit pack be installed in Function/Growth slot D1 and/or G1. A 177D apparatus blank or an LNW98 Detectable Blank circuit pack must be installed in the unequipped companion Function/Growth slot.
If the LNW170 100/1G FXS circuit pack in Function/Growth slot D1 and/or G1 is configured for equipment protection, then LNW170 100/1G FXS circuit packs can also be installed in slot D2 and/or G2.
Equipage guidelines (Main slots equipped with Very Large Fabric circuit packs)
If the Main slots are equipped with Very Large Fabric LNW84 or LNW141 OLIU circuit packs, the circuit packs in a Function/Growth group may be the same or different circuit pack type depending on the Slot Protection State.
All Gigabit Ethernet circuit packs except the LNW170 100/1G FXS circuit pack
For Gigabit Ethernet circuit packs, except the LNW170 100/1G FXS circuit pack, the Slot Protection State parameter is fixed Unprotected. If the Slot Protection State is Protected and a Gigabit Ethernet circuit pack is installed, the system reports an unexpected CP type alarm and service may be impacted.
LNW170 100/1G FXS circuit packs
For LNW170 100/1G FXS circuit packs, the Slot Protection State may be provisioned Unprotected or Protected.
If the Slot Protection State is Unprotected, the circuit packs within the Function/Growth group may be different circuit pack types. The default Slot Protection State is Unprotected when an LNW170 100/1G FXS circuit pack is installed in an unprovisioned Function/Growth group or in a Function/Growth group with an unprotected circuit pack.
If the Slot Protection State is Protected, the circuit packs in a Function/Growth group must both be the same circuit pack type.
Circuit pack type combinations
The following combinations of 0x1 compatible circuit pack types are supported in Function/Growth Slot 1 and Slot 2 when the Slot Protection State is Unprotected.

Notes:
This includes the LNW63, LNW64, LNW67, LNW68, LNW73/73C, LNW87, LNW170, LNW785, and all low-speed OLIU circuit packs. The LNW6, LNW7, LNW8, LNW16, LNW18, LNW19/19B, LNW20, LNW39, LNW70 (S1:2 and earlier), LNW74 (S1:1), LNW391, LNW801, LNW111, and LNW112 are not 0x1 compatible.
The circuit pack Ethernet Mode parameter must be provisioned as FX to support LNW74 circuit packs in slot 1 and slot 2; otherwise, this configuration is incompatible.
If an incompatible circuit pack is installed in a Function/Growth slot, the system reports a CP not allowed - eqpt alarm.
Select View → Equipment to access the circuit pack details and determine the value of the Slot Protection State parameter.
The Slot Protection State parameter of a Function/Growth group equipped with LNW170 100/1G FXS circuit packs can be changed from Protected to Unprotected or from Unprotected to Protected. If required, refer to Procedure 4-23: Change slot protection state.
Privilege level
You must log in as a Privileged, General, Maintenance, or Reports Only user to complete this procedure.
Required equipment
Use only Alcatel-Lucent approved Class 1 SFP transceivers in the LNW63, LNW64, LNW70, LNW170, and LNW78 circuit packs. Refer to the list of Class 1 SFP/XFP transceivers that are approved by Alcatel-Lucent in Procedure 4-16: Install pluggable transmission modules.
Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer Extend (DMXtend) Installation Manual, 365-372-327, as required, when removing and/or installing pluggable transmission modules.
Ethernet port configurations (LNW63, LNW64, LNW70, LNW170, and LNW78 circuit packs)
The LNW63, LNW64, LNW70/LNW170, LNW74, and LNW78 circuit packs support the following provisionable Ethernet port configurations. The Ethernet port configurations on LNW87 circuit packs may be provisioned independently.

Before you begin
Prior to performing this procedure:
-
Refer to Required equipment and Before you begin in this chapter.
-
Refer to Laser safety and Electrostatic discharge in Chapter 1, Safety.
-
If installing the LNW63, LNW64, LNW70, LNW87, LNW78, and/or LNW170 circuit pack, verify that the work instructions specify the required pluggable transmission modules and Ethernet port configuration to be used.
-
Ensure that the Gigabit Ethernet circuit pack is available for installation.
-
If required, ensure that the correct pluggable transmission modules are available for installation in the LNW63, LNW64, LNW70, LNW87, LNW78, and/or LNW170 circuit pack circuit pack.
-
Use the work instructions and select View → Equipment to access the circuit pack details and determine if the Main slots are equipped with Very Large Fabric LNW84 or LNW141 OLIU circuit packs.
Steps
Complete the following steps to install a Gigabit Ethernet circuit pack.
1 |
Determine the Function/Growth slots being equipped with the Gigabit Ethernet circuit pack. Reference:
|
2 |
Ensure all optical fiber connectors and couplings are properly cleaned. Important! Signal performances may be degraded if the connections and couplings are not cleaned properly. Reference: Procedure 14-3: Clean optical fibers, dual LC adapters and LC lightguide buildouts (LBOs) |
3 |
Important! Pluggable transmission modules are shipped with a dust cover installed into the optical ports to maintain cleanliness during storage and/or transportation. It is recommended that the dust cover be kept in place to maintain cleanliness until the optical fiber is connected. With proper care and handling, cleaning the pluggable transmission modules should not be necessary. If required, clean the optical pluggable transmission modules. Reference: Procedure 14-28: Clean optical pluggable transmission module |
4 |
Holding the pack vertically, rotate the pack 90 degrees to the right (clockwise). The faceplate label with LNWxx should be on your right, next to the fan unit. |
5 |
Open both faceplate latches and seat the Gigabit Ethernet circuit pack in the required Function/Growth slot. Result: If a factory fresh circuit pack is inserted, a firmware “ Smart Apply” may begin (this is indicated by a blinking ACTIVE LED). The Smart Apply may take from 5–8 minutes and the user should wait for it to complete. If the Smart Apply does not occur, the FAULT LED on the circuit pack lights. After approximately 100 seconds, the ACTIVE LED lights and the FAULT LED goes off. Select View → Refresh System View and the circuit pack appears in the WaveStar® CIT System View indicating successful installation. |
6 |
Important! The LNW63, LNW64, LNW70, LNW87, LNW170, and LNW78 circuit packs may be equipped with pluggable transmission modules and support different Ethernet port configurations. Refer to Ethernet port configurations (LNW63, LNW64, LNW70, LNW170, and LNW78 circuit packs). If required, install pluggable transmission modules in the circuit pack according to the work instructions. Reference: Procedure 4-16: Install pluggable transmission modules |
7 |
If the companion Function/Growth slot is unequipped, install either a 177D apparatus blank or an LNW98 Detectable Blank circuit pack in the unequipped companion Function/Growth slot. |
8 |
From the System View menu, select View → Equipment. Result: The View Equipment window opens. |
9 |
Verify presence of the new circuit pack in the equipment list. |
10 |
Select (highlight) the new circuit pack, then click Select at bottom of window. Result: Circuit pack parameter values display on right side of window. |
11 |
Verify that the Circuit Pack State for the circuit pack reads In Service. Click Close to exit. |
12 |
From the System View window, click the Alarm List button to verify that no alarms are present for the ports on the circuit packs just installed. Result: The NE Alarm List appears. No alarms should be present for the circuit pack just installed. |
13 |
If required, provision the circuit pack and/or port parameters. Important! When a new Ethernet circuit pack is installed, Ethernet PM reporting is enabled and TCA reporting is disabled for each port and VCG. If changes are required, refer to Procedure 8-5: Provision performance monitoring (PM) settings. Reference: Procedure 4-15: Provision Ethernet circuit packs/LAN port/VCG for service End of steps |
