EdgeFLEX 600 Installation

Connecting Network Cables

4.Finally, connect the individual DS1/E1 lines to the physical interfaces provided on the breakout panel. (In the example below, ports 15 and 16 are connected by a small loopback connector for testing purposes.)

Connecting to Optical Interfaces

DANGER! DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE END OF A FIBER-OPTIC CABLE. FIBER-OPTIC CABLES WITH LIGHT EMITTING FROM THE END OF THE CABLE CAN CAUSE INJURY TO YOUR EYE.

To connect optical network cables (SONET/SDH OC-3/12/48, STM-1/4/16 or Gigabit Ethernet) to the EdgeFLEX 600, perform the following steps:

1.At the front of the chassis, locate the fiber optic cable(s) to install.

2.Remove the dust plugs from SFP optics module, and set aside for safe keeping. Whenever fiber optic cables will be removed from the SFP module for more than a short time, the dust plugs should be re-inserted into the SFP to keep the optics clean and free from dust.

Similarly, if there are dust plugs on the duplex cable connector of the fiber optic cable, remove and store these for future use.

3.Insert the LC duplex cable connector into the appropriate optical interface connector on the card. Note that fiber orientation of the transceiver is Transmit on the left, Receive on the right.
