Procedure 4-27: Install 10G Muxponder circuit pack
Overview
Use this procedure to install LNW705 XM10G/8 8-channel 10G Muxponder circuit packs.
The 10G Muxponder circuit pack multiplexes/demultiplexes up to eight of the following most common high-bandwidth client signals onto a single 10G wavelength.
Equipage guidelines
The LNW705 XM10G/8 circuit pack must be equipped in the Growth 2 slot. The Growth 1 slot must be equipped with a 177D Apparatus Blank or LNW98 Detectable Apparatus Blank.
Privilege level
You must log in as a Privileged, General, Maintenance, or Reports Only user to complete this procedure.
Required equipment
A deeper shelf cover (comcode 849064282) is required for shelves equipped with 10G Muxponder circuit packs. This shelf cover provides more space to prevent fibers from touching the front cover when the cover is closed.
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.
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.
-
Ensure that an 10G Muxponder circuit pack is available for installation.
-
Ensure that the correct pluggable transmission modules are available for installation.
-
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 OC3/OC12/OC48 or LNW141 OC-192 OLIU OLIU circuit packs.
Steps
Complete the following steps to install an 10G Muxponder circuit pack.
1 |
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) |
2 |
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 pluggable transmission modules. Reference: Procedure 14-28: Clean optical pluggable transmission module |
3 |
Important! A deeper shelf cover (comcode 849064282) is required for shelves equipped with 10G Muxponder circuit packs. This shelf cover provides more space to prevent fibers from touching the front cover when the cover is closed. Verify that the shelf is equipped with the deeper shelf cover and carefully remove any caution tags that are attached to the circuit pack. |
4 |
Open both faceplate latches and seat the 10G Muxponder circuit pack in the Growth 2 slot. Result: The FAULT LED lights for approximately 2 minutes then goes off, indicating successful installation. Select View → Refresh System View and the circuit pack appears in the WaveStar® CIT System View indicating successful installation. |
5 |
If required, install pluggable transmission modules in the circuit pack according to the work instructions. Reference: Procedure 4-16: Install pluggable transmission modules |
6 |
Important! The Growth 1 slot must be equipped with a 177D Application Blank or LNW98 Detectable Blank circuit pack. Verify that the Growth 1 slot is equipped with a 177D Application Blank or LNW98 Detectable Blank circuit pack. If required, insert a 177D Application Blank or LNW98 Detectable Blank circuit pack into the Growth 1 slot. Result: If an LNW98 Detectable Blank circuit pack was installed, select View → Refresh System View and the circuit pack appears in the WaveStar® CIT System View indicating successful installation. |
7 |
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 packs just installed. |
8 |
If required, provision the 10G Muxponder circuit pack and optical channel transport unit (OTU2) port. Reference: Procedure 4-28: Provision 10G Muxponder circuit pack/optical channel transport unit (OTU2) port End of steps |
