Interoperability with OPTera Long Haul 1600

OPTera Long Haul 1600 complies with Telcordia specifications. Within these
standards, scope for variation exists in some details of the implementation. For
example, the Telcordia standards do not specify what is correct behavior when
a facility is taken out of service. Also, signaling limitations in the protocols
prevent the exchange of some aspects of configuration data across the
interface; the operator must ensure that both ends of the interface are
configured to be compatible. The operator must also be cautious when taking
facilities out of service since the subtending equipment can no longer operate
normally.

2-2 Release history for the OPTera Long Haul 1600 library
December 2002
The OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release 7 Rev. 1 NTP library describes the
enhancements to the original Release 7 1600G Amplifier and the new features
planned for the OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release 9 Repeater. The
enhancements to the 1600G Amplifier and the new features of the Repeater
have now been combined in OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release 9.
The content revisions required to document the enhancements to both

platforms are captured in the full Release 7, Rev. 1 NTP library and the two
books of the Release 9 documentation set. The Release 7, Rev. 1 NTP library
and the Release 9 documentation set are intended to be used together.
As you use the Release 7, Rev. 1 NTP library, you can encounter references to
features that are supported by either Release 7, Release 9, or both software
loads. The following table describes how books are identified in the library.
