Site Requirement Guidelines

SITE REQUIREMENT GUIDELINES

The guidelines in this section help you to maintain and protect your OA-740 and its components from potential damage from over-voltage, extreme temperature conditions, and other adverse conditions. To assure normal operation and avoid unnecessary maintenance, plan your site configuration and prepare your site before installing the OA-740.

Follow these general precautions when planning your equipment locations and connections:

Make sure that the site maintains an ambient temperature between 15°C and 25°C, and keep the area around the system to be clean and dust-free.

Ensure that the cooling vents are not blocked and there is adequate air flow due to ample clearances around the OA-740.

Alcatel-Lucent recommends keeping the OA-740 off the floor and out of any area that tends to collect dust.

Follow ESD prevention procedures to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.

The table below lists the operating and non-operating environmental site requirements. The ranges listed are those within which the OA-740 will continue to operate; however, a measurement that is approaching the minimum or maximum of a range indicates a potential problem. You can maintain normal operation by anticipating and correcting environmental anomalies before they approach minimum or maximum operating range.

740 specifications

The Alcatel-Lucent 740, also known as the 7400 Series, is a high-performance, versatile platform designed for service providers looking to deliver a wide range of services, including broadband and voice over IP (VoIP). This system is engineered to support the growing demand for bandwidth and the shift towards more data-centric services, catering to both residential and business users.

One of the standout features of the Alcatel-Lucent 740 is its ability to provide advanced routing capabilities. With its robust routing engine, the platform can handle complex tasks such as traffic management and Quality of Service (QoS) optimization. This ensures that the user's experience remains consistent and high quality, even during peak usage times. The precise routing capabilities are critical for applications that require low latency and high reliability, such as video conferencing and online gaming.

The 7400 Series also integrates seamlessly with existing networks, supporting both legacy and modern protocols. This ensures that service providers can transition smoothly to new technologies without losing compatibility with older systems. The platform supports various technologies, including MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), which aids in efficient data traffic handling and improves network performance.

Another important characteristic of the Alcatel-Lucent 740 is its scalability. As service demands grow, the platform can be easily expanded to accommodate increased traffic and new services. This adaptability ensures that providers can invest in their infrastructure with confidence, knowing that the 7400 Series will grow alongside their business needs.

Additionally, the Alcatel-Lucent 740 supports various access technologies, including DSL, fiber optics, and wireless, allowing service providers to offer a range of options to their customers. This flexibility is particularly valuable as it enables providers to tailor their services to the specific needs of different markets.

Furthermore, the platform features an intuitive management interface that simplifies network maintenance and operations. This reduces the operational burden on service providers, allowing them to focus on delivering exceptional service rather than getting bogged down by complex technical challenges.

In conclusion, the Alcatel-Lucent 740 delivers a powerful combination of advanced routing, scalability, and multi-technology support, making it a compelling choice for service providers looking to enhance their service offerings in today's competitive landscape.
