ODS2 MODULE AND REMOTE SYSTEM END-TO-END TEST PROCEDURES

Summary: This procedure tells how to connect a Craft Interface device to the Soneplex equipment and configure ODS2 modules. It also tells how to connect test equipment, and how to perform an end-to-end test of a Soneplex system with ODS2 modules. Protection switching tests are also provided in case protect modules are employed in the system. The procedure assumes the equipment in the Soneplex chassis and at the remote Fiber Loop Converter has been installed and has passed local tests. It also assumes that fiber has been installed at both ends and the circuit connection is complete. This procedure must be performed before attempting to operate the entire circuit or system that will be using this equipment.

Danger: Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber, or look directly into the module fiber connectors. Exposure to invisible laser radiation may result, which can damage the retina of the eye. An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers.

Danger: To avoid electric shock, be careful when working near HDSL loop connections or telecommunications circuits. An electrical potential of ±130 volts exists on HDSL loop connections and telecommunications circuits. Coming in contact with this high electrical potential will result in death or severe personal injury.

Do Items Below in the Order Listed

For Details Go To

1.Obtain the following tools and equipment:

•Anti-static wrist strap

•DS3 test set with DS1 option (for central office end of the circuit)

•DS1 test set (for remote end of the circuit)

•VT-100 compatible terminal or computer with terminal emulation software

2.Coordinate test with a technician located at the remote end of the circuit and ensure test procedures there have been completed. Refer to the Quad DS1 Fiber Loop Converter (B2/B3/D3) User Manual, and the Quad Loop Extender (QLX) Operation and Maintenance Manual, listed under Related Publications at the beginning of this manual, for more information.

3.At both ends of the circuit, make any necessary cross-connects at the optical patch panel (if used).

4.Open the chassis front cover.
