46 Equipment installation and configurationAdding one or more Fiber Remote IPE sites to a local system is treatedas a straightforward system expansion; that is, the system should befully operational before the Fiber Remote IPE equipment is installed andconnected. This simplifies installation and fault isolation during installation.To complete the installation of a Fiber Remote IPE site, perform thepre-installation procedures to prepare the site, install the fiber-optic link,and install and connect the equipment.Pre-installation procedures include:• preparing the site• unpacking and inspecting the equipment• routing and splicing fiber-optic cables to create a fiber-optic linkbetween two sites• connecting the fiber-optic link FC/PC optical connector to the FiberRemote IPE• taking an inventory of Fiber Remote IPE equipment• selecting the local network slot for the NT1P61 Fiber SuperloopNetwork cardInstallation procedures include:• installing the NT1P61 Fiber Superloop Network card in the selectednetwork card slot• installing the NT1P63 Electro-optical packlets into the NT1P61 FiberSuperloop Network card• installing the fiber-optic patchcords between the Fiber SuperloopNetwork faceplate FC/PC optical connectors and the optical I/O panelat the rear of the local module housing the NT1P61 Fiber SuperloopNetwork card• connecting the fiber-optic link FC/PC optical connector to the opticalI/O panel at the rear of the local module housing the NT1P61 FiberSuperloop Network card• connecting the master system monitor and TTY terminal cables at thelocal site• connecting the fiber-optic link to the I/O panel• installing the Fiber Remote IPE column or cabinet• installing the NT1P62 Fiber Peripheral Controller card in Remote IPEmodule or cabinet controller card slot• installing the NT1P63 Electro-optical packlet(s) on the NT1P62 FiberPeripheral Controller cardNortel Communication Server 1000Fiber Remote IPE FundamentalsNN43021-554 04.01 4 June 2010Copyright © 2007-2010 Nortel Networks.
