Under normal operating conditions, the power within the optical system can be high, but not accessible. Upon fault or optical fiber disconnect conditions, the internal safety systems reduce the power to the accessible power level, as stated on the labels.
Laser radiationoptical transmission systems

Nortel Networks optical products use laser or light-emitting diode (LED) sources that emit light energy into optical fibers. This energy is within the red (visible) and infrared (not visible) areas of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Nov 2003
Observing safety guidelines 1-3
International standards The IEC 60825 series of international standards covers the safety of laser and LED products. The following list provides examples from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), Code of Federal Register (CFR), and European Norm (EN) series of standards: IEC 60825-1, Safety of Laser ProductsPart 1: Equipment Classification, Requirements and Users Guide Edition 1.1; Edition 1: 1993, Consolidated with Amendment 1: 1997; Issue 1, 1998, 217 pgs. (Part 1 of a series of publications under the general title of: Safety of Laser Products). This standard provides information about equipment classification and on limit values for safety of laser products. IEC 60825-2:2000-05, Safety of Laser ProductsPart 2: Safety of Optical Fibre Communication Systems, Second Edition, May 2000, 100 pgs. This standard provides information about the safety of optical fiber communication systems. Regional standards such as the EN 60825 series: for example, British Standard BS EN 60825-1:1994, Safety of Laser Products, Equipment Classification, Requirements and Users Guide, 15 Dec. 1994, 126 pgs. These standards are based on the IEC 60825 series. Note: In Europe, the EN 60825 series of standards for CE marking purposes evaluate the safety of laser and LED products. The EN 60825 series is technically equivalent to IEC 60825. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publishes regulations 21 CFR 1010, Performance Standards for Electronics Products: General, April 1996, and 21 CFR 1040 in the Code of Federal Register (CFR). Regulations 21 CFR 1010 and 21 CFR 1040 contain laser safety requirements equivalent to the European standards.
Although the FDA classifications (I, IIIb, IV) are similar to those of the IEC (1, 3A, 3B, 4), these classifications are not directly equivalent. Nortel Networks ensures that all its products are compliant with either or both FDA and IEC requirements, as appropriate. The optical systems meet either the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) or Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) standards. SDH systems are normally for use outside North America. SONET systems are normally for use in North America. Normally, the IEC 60825 series of standards are used to classify and certify SDH products and FDA CFR is used to classify and certify SONET products.
The maximum intrinsic output power of laser and LED sources used in optical fiber communication systems can vary from Class 1 (IEC)/Class I (FDA) for short-reach applications, to Class 3A (IEC)/Class IIIb (FDA) or higher for long-reach applications. The IEC standards require that products be assessed on their maximum accessible optical power during both normal operation and under fault conditions. Radiation hazards Under normal operation, with all optical connectors in position and terminated correctly, the optical radiation is completely enclosed. The system is a Class 1 (IEC)/Class I (FDA) product, regardless of the transmitted power within the optical fiber. If you have unterminated optical cables (breaks in the fiber-optic cable or disconnected connectors) the output from circuit packs that contain optical transmitters can be greater than Class 1 (IEC)/Class I (FDA). Follow the requirements set out in standard IEC 60825-2:2000-05 concerning optical fiber communication systems. Standard IEC 60825-2:2000-05 requires that you evaluate the level of radiation hazard introduced under acceptable conditions for optical fiber communication systems. Hazard level 1 (IEC) corresponds to Class 1 (IEC). You can install and use products with this classification in any location. Hazard level 3A (IEC) corresponds to Class 3A (IEC). You can install and use products with this classification in restricted or controlled locations. Although you can consider a Class 3A optical source safe for long-term direct viewing without optical aids, Nortel Networks does not recommend this activity. Hazard level 3A is the label normally applied to optical products that Nortel Networks designs for short-haul and medium-haul applications. Note 1: The FDA does not have a classification with limits equivalent to those of IEC Class 3A for the infrared wavelength range 14251625 nm. FDA classifications for this wavelength range go from Class I to Class IIIb directly. FDA Class IIIb is similar to IEC Class 3B. Labels for IEC Class 3A contain a reference to FDA Class IIIb. Note 2: In this document, Class 3A is always in reference to IEC classification. Hazard level k x 3A indicates that you can access optical powers higher than Class 3A (IEC). Standard IEC 60825-2:2000-05 permits these higher levels in controlled locations. Nortel Networks optical products in this category (for example, the MOR Plus circuit pack) have warning labels that clearly state the k x 3A hazard level.
Nov 2003
The following conditions determine the precautions you must take: the maximum accessible power the location of the part of the system where the optical radiation is accessible Definitions of locations for laser safety are as follows: Unrestricteda location where access to the protective housing (enclosure) is unrestricted. Examples include domestic and public premises. Restricteda location where access to the protective housing (enclosure) is restricted and not open to the public. Examples include industrial and commercial premises. Controlleda location where access to the protective housing (enclosure) is controlled. Only authorized persons who have received acceptable training in laser safety and servicing of the system can access a controlled location. Examples include optical cable ducts and switching centers. Safety standard IEC 60825-1 does not require the classification of passive optical subassemblies, such as optical multiplexers, patch panels, and couplers. The output power of passive optical subassemblies depends on the input power. If you calculate the losses between the input and output power you can evaluate the type of hazard in any part of the equipment using these subassemblies. A passive optical subassembly supplied and installed as part of a complete Nortel Networks optical communication system has the appropriate hazard level assigned to it and labels attached. If Nortel Networks does not supply and install the subassembly, you must determine the maximum accessible optical output level and assign the appropriate hazard level and labels.
Labeling
According to the IEC 60825 and FDA series of standards, you must attach labels to the optical circuit pack and to the product. The following paragraphs provide examples of several different precautionary messages. The following paragraphs provide details on the words and meaning of the symbols and legends, and explain the hazard precautions needed for optical communication systems. Note: To make the label fit the circuit pack faceplate, the size, and details of the circuit pack explanatory label can be changed.
The elements of a typical label are laser warning symbol warning text explaining the risk associated with the hazard from exposed optical fiber ends and unterminated connectors Note: This warning text indicates a hazard can exist on either the fixed or free end of a connector depending on the direction of transmission. class number according to both IEC 60825-1 and FDA CFR standards wavelength, shown as a nominal or a dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) range of values, for example 1550 nm nominal means a single wavelength within the range 1440 nm to 1625 nm 1425 nm1625 nm means that multiple discrete DWDM wavelengths exist in the range The book symbol can appear on products where space is limited and the full safety text cannot be included. Details of the full labeling text is contained within this documentation.

This label includes information about equipment compliance to safety standards and does not have to be visible after installation of the equipment. This label also includes all necessary approval marks.
Using optical fibers

Optical fibers are either single mode or multiple mode. The following information and precautionary messages apply to all optical fibers.
Handling optical fibers When you work with optical fibers, take the following precautions: Never look into an active optical fiber or an optical fiber connector opening of an active or powered-up unit. CAUTION
Never connect or disconnect an optical fiber on an active or powered up optical amplifier. To connect or disconnect an optical fiber, place the optical amplifier out of service (OOS), unseat the optical amplifier, then connect or disconnect the optical fiber. High optical power levels can damage circuit packs if improper connections are made. Never disconnect an optical fiber from an active or powered up 1600G optical Amplifier circuit pack. Before you disconnect the optical fiber, ensure that the affected circuit pack is out of service (OOS), then unseated. Refer to 1600G Amplifier Provisioning Procedures, 323-1801-316, for instructions on determining and changing the state of 1600G optical Amplifier circuit packs. Before you connect an optical fiber to a 1600G optical Amplifier circuit pack, ensure that the pack is out of service (OOS) and unseated. Refer to 1600G Amplifier Provisioning Procedures, 323-1801-316, for instructions on determining and changing the state of 1600G optical amplifier circuit packs. Always clean and inspect an optical fiber immediately before you connect it, even if the optical fiber has been recently cleaned. Refer to Cleaning optical connectors in Fiber Management and Fiber Cleaning Procedures, 323-1801-202 for detailed instructions. Avoid direct exposure to optical fiber ends or optical connector ends where you can directly access the laser signal. Clean your hands after you handle optical fibers. Small pieces of glass are not always visible and can damage your eyes. WARNING
Risk of eye injury
If you have a piece of a glass in your eye, get medical assistance immediately. Do not handle pieces of optical fiber with your fingers. Use tweezers or adhesive tape to lift and discard any loose optical fiber ends. Wear rubber gloves when you clean optical connectors. The gloves prevent direct contact with the isopropyl alcohol and prevent contamination of the ferrules with skin oils.
Nov 2003
Place all optical fiber clippings in a plastic container provided for that purpose. Handle optical fibers with caution. Place the optical fibers in a safe location during installation. Protect all optical fiber connectors with clean dust caps at all times. Follow the manufacturer instructions when you use an optical test set. Incorrect calibration or control settings can create hazardous levels of radiation.
Splicing optical fibers When you must look at a spliced optical fiber with a small magnifier, take the following precautions: Power off all laser sources to the optical fiber or disconnect the remote optical fiber end from the laser sources before you start splicing. Make sure that all laser sources remain disconnected and powered off. The laser sources can be in a central office, on subscriber premises, or in a remote location. Disconnect all optical test sets from the optical fiber before you start splicing. The connections can be local or remote. Use only the optical instruments approved by your company. Repairing optical fibers When an accidental break occurs in the optical fiber, do the following: Report the location of the damaged optical fiber to both the central office and field repair personnel. CAUTION
Never connect or disconnect an optical fiber on an active or powered up optical amplifier. To connect or disconnect an optical fiber, place the optical amplifier out of service (OOS), unseat the optical amplifier, then connect or disconnect the optical fiber. High optical power levels can damage circuit packs if improper connections are made. Power down all laser sources to the optical fiber and disconnect the remote optical fiber end from the laser sources (see Handling optical fibers on page 1-10 before you disconnect any optical fiber from a laser source). The sources can be in a central office, on subscriber premises, or in a remote location.
Typical laser safety eye wear Protective eye wear is recommended when working with optical fiber and lasers. See Table 1-1 for recommended typical laser safety eye wear specifications.

Working with power

CAUTION
Read and understand the power procedures you are performing. Take necessary precautions and use the appropriate insulated tools when working with power. When you install power feeds to the product input power terminals or perform routine power maintenance, or both, make sure that you do the following: Read and understand the power procedures you perform. Take the necessary precautions and use the correct insulated tools to perform any tasks. A tripped circuit breaker indicates that an over-current event has probably occurred. Before you reset the circuit breaker, you must do the following: Determine the parts of the product fed by the circuit breaker. Determine if there are any obvious causes for the trip occurring in the affected parts and associated wiring, for example, signs or odors associated with an overheated component. Verify that the configuration of the power distribution elements complies with the installation instructions.

After you reset any previously tripped circuit breaker, wait near the product for at least 1 minute to ensure that the fault clears and the product returns to normal operation. When you remove the breaker module, follow the label instructions provided on the product. The following figure shows a typical label and expanded instructions.
BEFORE REMOVING MODULE

1- Switch all breakers to O 2- Unseat module from connectors 3- Wait 15s to allow discharge 4- Remove module 1- Operate all circuit breakers by moving the switch to the OFF ('O') position. 2- Unlock the breaker module and pull the breaker module out slightly until the backplane connector is fully disconnected. 3- Wait for at least 15 seconds for the capacitors on the breaker module to discharge. 4- Finish removing the breaker module from the shelf.
Dissipating static electricity

The level of static electricity increases on your body when you move around or come into contact with other charged surfaces. Excessive levels of static electricity can damage equipment. You must wear both a heel grounder (that attaches to your leg and foot) and an antistatic wrist-strap, or another personal grounding device when you work on any of the following: network element shelves (including the metal frame and cover) cables connected to circuit packs circuit packs Note: Heel grounders or similar worn footwear attachments work when the floor is designed to dissipate static electricity. If the properties of the floor are unknown or in doubt, use a wrist-strap and make sure it is connected to a piece of electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding equipment before proceeding with any maintenance or installation activity.
Any one of the previously mentioned grounding devices dissipate electrostatic charges to the ground quickly. Use grounding devices correctly to eliminate the electrostatic discharge (ESD) threat you pose to the equipment. When you wear an antistatic wrist-strap and a heel grounder you must make sure the grounding straps are in contact with a moist part of your skin. Connect the grounding cord to the grounding plug on a grounded fixture of the product you are working on, such as the local craft access panel (LCAP). Grounded fixtures are accessible on most Nortel Networks products. See the ESD ground jack shown in Figure 1-1.

The following list provides guidelines on how your company can ensure the best ESD protection: Install bays on conductive floor coverings. Provide conductive shoes, antistatic wrist-straps, and heel grounders to all personnel working on the equipment.
Preventing circuit pack damage

All circuit packs are subject to damage by rough handling or by electrostatic discharge. Review the following sections for more information about how to prevent damage to circuit packs.
Nov 2003
If Nortel Networks ships circuit packs separately from the network element shelf, then these circuit packs can come in shielded containers marked with the following symbol.
ATTENTION OBSERVER DES PRCAUTIONS POUR LA MANIPULATION. DISPOSITIF SENSIBLE AUX CHARGES STATIQUES ATTENTION FOLLOW PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES
Handling, installing, or replacing circuit packs When you handle, install, or replace circuit packs, take the following precautions: WARNING
Risk of personal injury
The weight of circuit packs can exceed 10 kg (25 lbs). Use caution when handling circuit packs, especially if you remove the circuit packs from a high shelf on the bay. Wear an antistatic wrist-strap and a heel grounder, or another personal grounding device before you remove a circuit pack from its package or from the shelf. Protect each circuit pack that is not in active use on the shelf by storing each one separately in a shielded box. CAUTION
Never connect or disconnect an optical fiber on an active or powered up optical amplifier. To connect or disconnect an optical fiber, place the optical amplifier out of service (OOS), unseat the optical amplifier, then connect or disconnect the optical fiber. High optical power levels can damage circuit packs if improper connections are made. Before you unseat any 1600G optical amplifier circuit pack, ensure that the affected circuit pack is out of service (OOS). Refer to 1600G Amplifier Provisioning Procedures, 323-1801-316, for instructions on determining and changing the state of 1600G optical amplifier circuit packs. Ensure that you review and follow the guidelines in Handling optical fibers on page 1-10 before you connect or disconnect optical fibers. Follow the detailed instructions in 1600G Amplifier Alarm Clearing and Module Replacement, 323-1801-546, to replace 1600G optical amplifier circuit packs. Handle each circuit pack by the faceplate or stiffener.
Do not touch the solder side of the circuit pack, the pin connector, or the components. Do not stack circuit packs on or against each other. Inspect all pin connectors on each circuit pack for damage before use. Inspect all circuit packs for damage before you insert the component into the shelf. Do not force circuit packs into their packaging material. Protect all optical connectors of the transmit and receive optical circuit packs with clean dust caps at all times. Allow each circuit pack to reach room temperature before you insert the component into the shelf. Note: The following symbol appears on circuit packs that can have hot surfaces.
Warning
Hot surfaces can cause burns. When handling these circuit packs, take the necessary precautions and read the specific instructions for that circuit pack. For example, wear insulating gloves when you remove these circuit packs. Storing circuit packs Leave spare circuit packs in the original shielded containers until you need the circuit packs. To prevent damage to circuit packs while in storage, follow the procedures that prevent accumulation of dirt or dust on the pin connectors damage to the printed-circuit board or its components warpage (to printed-circuit boards stored in areas where the humidity can exceed 95% and the temperature can exceed 70C) Transporting circuit packs When you transport circuit packs, pack each circuit pack in its original shielded container and padding, or in a shielded bag. If you lose the original material, use another shielded container.

System lineup and testing process overview
2-
This chapter provides a brief introduction to, and overview of the system lineup and testing (SLAT) process required to deploy an OPTera Long Haul 1600 Optical Line System.
Using SLAT documentation

Follow the OPTera Long Haul 1600 SLAT process to perform SLAT activities for both the bay and optical amplifiers. Use the following Nortel Networks technical publications (NTP) to perform bay SLAT procedures: this NTP contains procedures to prepare and commission a network element and to connect a network element to the network System Commissioning and Testing Procedures, 323-1801-222, contains procedures for system commissioning and final system testing. You cannot complete the end-to-end test procedures in this NTP until the SLAT process for the Multiwavelength Optical Repeater (MOR) Plus or 1600G Amplifiers is complete. After the SLAT procedures on the bay are complete, use the following documents to test and provision the optical links: part 1 of MOR Plus SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-225 and part 2 of MOR Plus SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-225 contain procedures to perform SLAT and system capacity upgrades for MOR Plus applications of the OPTera Long Haul 1600 part 1 of 1600G Amplifier Optical SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-226 and part 2 of 1600G Amplifier Optical SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-226 contain procedures to perform SLAT and system capacity upgrades for 1600G Amplifier applications
2-2 System lineup and testing process overview
The documents all have a similar structure. Each chapter that contains procedures starts with a general description, and includes procedure lists for completing specific tasks. Each procedure begins with a description of the purpose, prerequisites, and precautions for executing the procedure. Before you perform a procedure, ensure that you have met all the prerequisites, and you have followed all precautions.
System lineup and testing procedures

SLAT is performed after the network elements are installed. A network element is installed when the following criteria are met: the circuit packs are in their slots the optical fibers are routed but not connected the bay is powered down See Installation Procedures, 323-1801-201 for more information. Once the installation criteria have been met, the network elements are ready for SLAT. The SLAT process consists of the following tasks: reviewing Chapter 1, Observing safety guidelines in this document preparing the network element for commissioning powering up and commissioning the network element site testing operations controller (OPC) commissioning optical link testing and provisioning progressive end-to-end testing system testing provisioning Note: The OPC is commissioned and configured during the SLAT process to provide network operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) capabilities. It is recommended that you first power up and commission the OPTera Long Haul 1600 network element that contains the OPC. When the system commissioning and testing procedures are complete, the network is provisioned with operating parameters and is ready to carry live traffic.
Nov 2003
System lineup and testing process overview 2-3
Powering up and commissioning a network element After installation, the bay power is verified and the power turned on. The power first goes to the control shelf and then to the other circuit packs in the main shelf and the extension shelves. Each circuit pack performs a self-diagnostic test on startup. You can then log in to the network element with a VT100-compatible terminal through a connection to the RS-232 port on the local craft access panel (LCAP). The procedures to prepare a network element and to enter data for OPTera Long Haul 1600 systems are provided in this document.
Commissioning the software using the MI circuit pack
The network element software is delivered to the OPTera Long Haul 1600 network element through a commissioning maintenance interface (MI) circuit pack that is specific to every release. This MI circuit pack contains all the software for each circuit pack in the bay. When you insert the MI circuit pack, shelf controller, and message exchange circuit packs into the control shelf and power up the control shelf, the software launches automatically. When you insert a commissioning MI circuit pack into a new and uncommissioned network element, the Commissioning MI present alarm is raised. The software release on the commissioning MI circuit pack becomes the active release. When you insert a commissioning MI circuit pack into a system that is already commissioned and provisioned, there is no effect on the system other than a raised Commissioning MI present alarm. You can clear the Commissioning MI present alarm by replacing the commissioning MI circuit pack with an ordinary MI circuit pack, or by committing the current software release of the network element on to the commissioning MI circuit pack with the commitrel command. Query the software to verify the software release by issuing the rel command and acknowledge the release by issuing the commitrel command. The MI circuit pack cannot be used to commission another system once the commitrel command is issued, unless you have restored the MI circuit pack to commissioning status using the restorecmi command (see Procedure 4-10, Restoring a commissioning MI circuit pack on page 4-40).
Commissioning the network element type
The final step is to commission the network element as a Repeater, Amplifier, or Optical Amplifier Shelf (OAS).
Facilities and equipment for the Repeater and OAS network elements autoprovision, and the software is distributed to each circuit pack in the bay. You must manually create facilities and equipment for an Amplifier network element. Site testing Site testing is the first level of testing after the network element is commissioned. Site tests confirm equipment performance, traffic continuity, and other basic functions. Site testing of a Repeater requires a connection to upstream equipment or to a test set. Traffic continuity is monitored by a test set through optical fiber loopbacks on the 10 Gbit/s line. Site testing procedures for the amplifiers are provided in: the following OPTera Long Haul 1600 NTPs: part 1 of MOR Plus SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-225 (for MOR Plus applications) part 2 of MOR Plus SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-225 (for MOR Plus applications) part 1 of 1600G Amplifier Optical SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-226 (for 1600G Amplifier applications). part 2 of 1600G Amplifier Optical SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-226 (for 1600G Amplifier applications). OPC commissioning You must commission the partitioned OPC at the OPC site. You cannot remotely commission the partitioned OPC. The OPC is delivered with preloaded software and with a backup library of software for the network elements. You must commission the primary OPC at the beginning of the SLAT and commissioning process. During OPC commissioning, system-level data is entered on the OPC and its network ports are configured. The network elements within the OPC span of control (SOC) are entered in the Commissioning Manager. Refer to System Commissioning and Testing Procedures, 323-1801-222 for details about commissioning the OPC. Enter additional data (such as commissioning data for added network elements) through a remote login session.

Connecting a circuit pack group to a network 5This chapter provides the procedures required to connect a Wavelength Combiner CPG, an ODPR CPG, or a single circuit pack to a network. Loopback tests are used to verify traffic carrying and administrative capabilities. These tests verify the operation of the tributary and high-speed optical circuit packs. Perform loopback tests by looping back the optical transmitter outputs to the receiver inputs on the optical interface circuit packs. The testing of an OC-192/STM-64 XR circuit pack or 10G WT circuit pack on a Repeater requires that the circuit packs be connected to the 10 Gbit/s test traffic or upstream feeding equipment. This equipment can be LTE, transmultiplexer (TMux), 4-Fiber BLSR, 4-Fiber ADM, or other feeding equipment. Although the Repeater tests require connections between the tested network element and other network elements, the tests are not end-to-end tests because the full traffic path is not complete. System Commissioning and Testing Procedures, 323-1801-222, contains a description of end-to-end tests. Refer to Chapter 2, System lineup and testing process overview and Chapter 3, Preparing a network element for commissioning for figures that describe the correct steps to perform system lineup and test (SLAT) and to commission a network element. Note 1: The system testing procedures in this document refer to miniature variable optical attenuators (mVOA). However, it is possible to use fixed attenuators in place of mVOAs to perform these tests. Note 2: When you have completed system testing, it is recommended that you remove any mVOAs that were added to perform the test procedures. Use fixed attenuators if you require attenuation to reach nominal receiver values.

Procedure 5-1 Connecting a Wavelength Combiner CPG to a network

Use this procedure to connect the fiber-optic cables between the tributary circuit packs of a Wavelength Combiner circuit pack group (CPG) and the remote OC-48/TN-16X terminal or Gigabit Ethernet subtending equipment. Also use this procedure to connect the Wavelength Combiner circuit pack group to the network. For a Nortel Networks OC-48/TN-16X ADM or LTE, the G1 and G2 interfaces are connected to different Wavelength Combiner CPGs. See Table 5-2 for descriptions of the connections.

Note 1: This procedure assumes that the subtending equipment is protected. If it is not, then ignore the steps that refer to connecting the protection circuit packs. Note 2: If the test traffic source is connected through DWDM links, you must optimize the DWDM links before adjusting the VOAs. If the DWDM demultiplexers (Demux) contain VOAs, you can adjust the VOAs that are contained in the DWDM demultiplexers instead of using additional mVOAs. Note 3: If your system is a DWDM system, then refer to MOR Plus SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-225, or part 1 and part 2 of 1600G Amplifier Optical SLAT and Upgrade Procedures, 323-1801-226, for procedures on how to perform system lineup and testing of the optical link.

Procedure 5-3 Connecting the remote line optical interfaces to the Repeater network element
This procedure is optional since equivalent testing is performed at the factory prior to shipping the equipment to the field. You can use this procedure to perform progressive end-to-end testing. Use this procedure to: connect the fiber-optic cables from the remote line optical interfaces to the Repeater network element and perform loopback tests. test the traffic continuity for each XR and WT circuit pack in the Repeater network element that are not part of an ODPR circuit pack group. The remote line optical interfaces can be on: Another OPTera Long Haul 1600 Repeater Nortel Networks 10 Gbit/s ADM or line terminating equipment (LTE) traffic 10 Gbit/s ADM or LTE traffic from a supplier other than Nortel Networks The connections to remote line optical interfaces can be: co-located bays in the same central office located at a remote site with communication through a non-DWDM link located at a remote site with communication through a DWDM link Loopback testing requires traffic from one direction (test traffic source). Loopback testing does not require traffic from the opposite direction (non-traffic side). Note 1: If the remote line optics are connected through DWDM links, you must optimize the DWDM links before adjusting the VOAs. If the DWDM demultiplexers (demux) contain VOAs, you can adjust the VOAs that are contained in the DWDM demultiplexers instead of using additional mVOAs.
