BG- 2 0 Pla t for m Ove r vie w

ECI Telecom’s BG-20 miniature MSPP delivers a cost-effective and affordable
mix of Ethernet, SDH, PDH, and PCM services, resulting in new
revenue-generating opportunities. It offers a wide variety of features and
benefits, including:
 Ultra-high scalability based on coupling the BG-20E to the BG-20B to
make a build-as-you-grow® solution.
 Gradual capacity expansion based on service provisioning needs. More
STM-1 interfaces can be added very conveniently and ADM-1s can be
upgraded to ADM-4s without affecting traffic. This highly adaptable and
flexible architecture translates into significant savings in both operational
and capital expenditures (OPEX and CAPEX).
 Provides a carrier class Ethernet-over-WAN/MAN solution (including
Ethernet over SDH and Ethernet over PDH) with SDH reliability, security,
and management of data services.
 Sublambda grooming for high utilization of existing fiber and top
efficiency in transmission of different types of services.

 PCM service interfaces and 1/0 digital cross-connect functions to facilitate

the construction and maintenance of various private networks.
 Multi-ADM and cross-connect functionality, ideal for deployment in
flexible network topologies like ring, mesh, and star.
 Compactness and resiliency, perfectly suited for both indoor and outdoor
enclosures. Due to its extended operating temperature range, it is also most
suitable for harsh environmental conditions.
For a detailed description of the BG-20 platform, see the BroadGate Product
Line General Description.

Pow er Sources
BG-20 shelves can be powered by DC sources complying with the applicable
sections of ETSI 300 132-2 and the SELV or TNV requirements of EN 60950.
The nominal supply voltage is -48 VDC (positive-lead grounded). However,
the allowed supply voltage range is -40 VDC to -75 VDC. Power feeding for
the BG-20B shelf and the BG-20E shelf are separate. For redundancy, two
separate DC power sources should be available. In the DC power supply, the
maximum power consumption of the BG-20B is 50 W and the maximum
power consumption of the BG-20E is 130 W.
BG-20 shelves can also be powered directly from standard AC power outlets.
The nominal AC supply voltage is 220 V/50 Hz or 110 V/60 Hz. The allowed
range is 94 VAC to 240 VAC. In the AC power supply, power feeding for the
BG-20B and BG-20E shelves is separate. Because of the efficiency of the
AC/DC conversion in the AC power supply, the maximum power consumption
of the BG-20B is 62.5 W and the maximum power consumption of the BG-20E
is 162.5 W.
NOTE: If the planned power consumption of the equipment

installed in the shelf is 80% or more of the maximum listed
value, it is recommended to consult ECI Telecom Customer
Support.

Tools a nd Te st Equipm e nt
No special-purpose tools beyond a standard technician’s toolbox are required
for the installation of BG-20 shelves.
Since traffic cables can be prepared on site, suitable tool kits should be
available. They include tools for the assembly of coaxial cables (see the list of
recommended tools in the following table) and tools for the preparation of
optical patch cords.

I nst a lla t ion of BG- 2 0 in Ra ck s
I nstallation Plan
This section provides guidelines for planning the installation of BG-20 shelves
and ancillary equipment in racks.
We recommend installation in ECI Telecom’s ETSI racks, which provide the
following advantages:
 Removable rear and side panels, enabling tidy leading and efficient
maintenance of all rack cables, including:
 PCM/El/E3/DS-3/STM-1e cables
 Control cables
 Power cables
 Data cables
 Voice frequency cables
 Timing cables
 Two ducts on the rack’s front rails for routing up to 200 optical fibers
 Open frame top and bottom, facilitating easy leading of cables from
suspension floors and/or ceiling ladders
 Front-door mountable for left or right opening
BG-20 equipment racks may be installed on wooden, concrete, or floating
floors, or suspended from overhead mountings.

Typical BG- 2 0 I nstallation

For a typical installation of a BG-20 shelf in an ECI Telecom’s ETSI rack, see
Typical installation of a single BG-20 shelf in a 2200 ETSI rack. In this figure,
two BG-20 shelves are shown with the BG-20E and the other two shelves are
shown without the BG-20E.
In addition to the BG-20 itself, the equipment installed in the rack includes:
 One RAP installed at the top of the rack. The RAP is used to connect
external power and alarm monitoring lines (RAP-100 only) to the BG-20
shelves installed in the rack. The RAP fully supports up to four shelves
with dual power feeding or eight shelves with single power feeding. In
addition to the space needed for RAP installation, you must leave at least
50 mm of free space under the RAP for cable routing.
NOTE: The RAP-BG does not support alarm monitoring

lines.
 Fiber Storage Tray. A separate FST can be installed for each BG-20 with
optical modules. Each FST contains two storage reels, enabling the fiber to
be stored on the right or left side of the tray. Leave at least 50 mm of free
space between the BG-20 shelf and its FST, and another 50 mm free
between the FST and the next BG-20 shelf.
 BG-OW. An external box that adds an orderwire interface and functionality
to the BG-20. It can be installed on either the left or the right rail of the
rack. It should be installed in the most suitable place for convenient
operation.
 xDDF-21. When unbalanced E1 interfaces are needed, the xDDF-21 should
be installed with the BG-20. Each xDDF-21 can support 21 channels of E1.
The xDDF-21 can be installed anywhere on the same rack on which the
BG-20 shelf is installed, or on another rack.
 ICPs for the SM_10E, including ICP_VF, ICP_V24, and ICP_V35. When
PCM interfaces are provided by the SM_10E, the corresponding ICPs can
be installed in order to simplify installation and connection to customer
termination equipment. Each ICP can support one SM_10E traffic module.
ICPs can be installed anywhere on the same rack on which the BG-20 shelf
is installed, or on another rack.

I ntegrating BG- 2 0 Shelves and Other

Equipm ent in One Rack
BG-20 shelves and associated accessories may not occupy the entire rack.
Additional equipment may be installed in the remaining rack space, provided
that any heat generated by additional equipment can be efficiently dissipated,
and thermal isolation is provided between the various equipment units installed
in the same rack.
In the event of additional equipment being installed on the rack, contact ECI
Telecom’s Customer Support team for assistance.
Figure 2-1: Typical installation of four BG-20 shelves in an ETSI 2200 rack

Pr e pa r in g Ca ble s a nd Fibe r s
NOTE: This section provides information needed for
preparing cables and optical fibers. The necessary cables can
be ordered from ECI Telecom. For details, contact ECI
Telecom’s Customer Support team or your ECI Telecom sales
representative.
The following main types of cables are required for installing the BG-20:
 Grounding Cables (on page 2-12)
 DC Power Cables (on page 2-12)
 AC Power Cable (on page 2-14)
 Alarm Cables (on page 2-14)
 Management Cables (on page 2-15)
 Timing (Clock) Cables (on page 2-15)
 Orderwire Cables (on page 2-15)
 Electric Traffic Cables (on page 2-16)
 Optical Fibers (on page 2-18)
Some of these cables are supplied by ECI Telecom as part of the BG-20
equipment, while others must be prepared on site or ordered separately from
ECI Telecom.
In the following sections, you will find information about the cables, as well as
information to enable the preparation of cables on site, where relevant. For
further details about the equipment connector types and cable wiring, see
Connection Data (on page A-1).
WARNING: When preparing cables, in particular power and

grounding cables, use only UL-listed components of the
specified types. Components must also comply with any
applicable national and local safety codes and regulations.
Only qualified trained personnel may be involved in the

preparation of the various cable types. Personnel must use
only approved procedures, in accordance with the applicable
workmanship practice.

Grounding Cables
Shelf grounding is achieved by connecting the shelf to the rack using rack
mounting brackets. Grounding is provided by contact when the unit is fastened
to the rack.
A reliable low-impedance connection must be provided using copper
conductors between the rack frame and the site grounding bus.
Make the connection between the rack grounding screw and the site grounding
bus with a 2 AWG (35 mm2) or thicker copper lead with yellow/green
insulation, in compliance with UL/ETSI recommendations.
Route grounding conductors along the shortest possible route. Treat the bare
portion of the conductor with antioxidant and connect a listed two-hole
compression lug. If the lug is not plated, polish it until it has a bright finish and
coat it with antioxidant before connecting it to the frame of the rack. Do not
mix different types of metal conductors.
DC Pow er Cables
DC power cables should be prepared on site. Two types of DC power cables
are needed:
 RAP input power cables
 Shelf power cables
ECI Telecom recommends the use of shielded power cables for DC power
connections, with the shields connected to the frame ground at the rack end
only.
RAP I n pu t Pow e r Ca ble s

The RAP input power cables are prepared on site. They connect input power
from the site power distribution subsystem to the DC input terminals of the
RAP.
Two input power cables are required for each rack, one for each source. The
cables must use copper leads complying with UL/ETSI recommendations. Use
a red lead for the positive conductor and a black lead for the negative
conductor. The RAP cable ends must be terminated in M6 cable lugs matching
the conductor gauge.

The recommended cable gauge is 25 mm2 or thicker. This gauge ensures that
the voltage drop across the rack power cable does not exceed 2 V, even for
cable runs of maximum 30 meters connected to a RAP and providing power to
multiple BG-20 shelves.
When the RAP is used to provide power to a single BG-20 shelf, lower-lead
gauges may be used, as follows:
 For runs not exceeding 20 meters, it is sufficient to use 10 m2 copper leads
 For runs not exceeding 30 meters, it is sufficient to use 16 m2 copper leads
Sh e lf Pow e r Ca ble s
Two 12 AWG cables, supplied by ECI Telecom, are used to connect the input
power from the rack RAP unit to each POWER IN connector on the INF_20B
module of each BG-20B shelf installed in the rack.
If the BG-20E is installed, ECI Telecom can supply one of two power cable
options:
 Two additional 12 AWG cables to connect the input power from the rack
RAP unit to each POWER IN connector on the INF_20E module. This
option requires separate circuit breaker positions for the BG-20E and the
BG-20B.
 Two 12 AWG cables, each with two connectors on the BG-20B and BG-
20E sides, to connect one input power circuit breaker from the rack RAP to
one POWER IN connector of the INF_20B and one POWER IN of the
INF_20E. This option allows the use of the same circuit breaker position
for both shelves.
If the BG-OW is installed, an additional 12 AWG cable, supplied by ECI
Telecom, is used to connect the input power from the rack RAP unit to the
POWER IN connector on the front panel of the BG-OW, for each BG-OW box
installed in the rack.

NOTE:
 For each BG-20 unit without a BG-20E, one shelf DC
power cable is needed when power feeding is
nonredundant, and two shelf DC power cables are needed
when power feeding is redundant. For each BG-20 unit
with a BG-20E, two shelf DC power cables or one dual-
headed shelf DC power cable are needed when power
feeding is nonredundant, and four shelf DC power cables
or two double-headed shelf DC power cables are needed
when power feeding is redundant.
 The BG-OW only supports DC power feeding and does
not support redundant power feeding. For each BG-OW,
one shelf DC power cable is needed.
AC Pow er Cable
An AC power cable is provided, fully prepared with the system. One AC power
cable is required for a BG-20 shelf without the BG-20E, and two AC power
cables are required for a BG-20 shelf with the BG-20E.
The AC power cable comes with an AC male connector for connection to the
AC source outlet. Replace the AC male connector if it is not suitable for the
local AC source.
Alarm Cables
Alarm cables used within BG-20 equipment are included in the shipment
according to the site specifications.
The alarm indications are carried by the shelf alarm indication cable. One shelf
alarm indication cable is required for each BG-20 shelf installed in the rack.
This cable connects between the ALARMS connector on the BG-20B and one
of the ALARMS connectors on the RAP (RAP-100 only). Cable length is 2.0
m.
NOTE: There are no ALARMS connectors on the RAP-BG.

Managem ent Cables

Out-of-band management traffic is connected to a BG-20 shelf via the RJ-45
(MNG) connector located on the front panel of the BG-20B.
The MNG Ethernet connector is wired as a 10BaseT station port for direct
connection through an RJ-45-to-RJ-45 straight cable to a port of a 10BaseT
Ethernet hub.
Suitable standard Ethernet station cables are available from many sources.
Cables of Category 5 or better must be used. In all cases, the length of the
cables must not exceed the maximum recommended for the cable type and hub
port in use (up to a few dozen meters).
Tim ing ( Clock) Cables

The BG-20 shelf uses an RJ-45 connector on the BG-20B front panel that
integrates the two timing reference interfaces (2 x T3 and 2 x T4). A
multitwisted-pair cable with an RJ-45 connector (supplied by ECI Telecom) is
used to connect timing signals from the BG-20 to the site timing reference
distribution subsystems, if it has balanced (120 Ω) G.703 interfaces.
If the site timing reference distribution subsystem has unbalanced (75 Ω) G.703
interfaces, an adapter with coaxial cables that provides balanced-to-unbalanced
conversion (supplied by ECI Telecom) should be configured.
Orderw ire Cables

When the BG-OW is installed, a cable with RJ-45 connectors on both sides
(supplied by ECI Telecom) should be used to connect the OW interface on the
BG-20B front panel and the BG-NE connector on the BG-OW front panel.
Another cable with RJ-11 connectors on both sides (supplied by ECI Telecom)
should be used to connect the HANDSET connector on the BG-OW front panel
to the OW handset. These cables are delivered with the BG-OW.

Electric Traffic Cables

Some electric traffic cables can be prepared on site. The following table lists
the type of cables and mating connectors needed for each BG-20 traffic

Optical Fibers
Optical fibers can be prepared on site. The following table lists the type of
cables and mating connectors needed to prepare cables for each BG-20 module.
For each optical interface, ECI Telecom supplies patch cords with mating
optical connectors already attached to the fiber. Therefore, only the optical
termination on the ODF side, which is installation-dependent, must be installed
on site.
The optical fibers for connecting to equipment installed in a given rack should
enter the rack from the top, be threaded through cable guides running along the
rack side rails, and end at the FST. The FST must contain enough fiber length
for extracting modules from the BG-20 and for replacing fiber in case of
damage (splicing repairs).
When routing fibers, make sure to observe the minimum bending radius (35
mm).

NOTE: BG-20 equipment is intended for installation in
restricted-access areas only.
BG-20 shelves contain power sources of varying voltages. Take note of the
following guidelines for installing the shelves:
 Ensure the integrity of the grounding connections
 Make sure that sufficient lighting is available
 Do not work on any equipment when it is connected to a voltage source
(DC or AC)
 Ensure that the maximum working temperature does not exceed 70°C
 Use only insulated tools
 Wear protective clothing as required by the requisite safety regulations
 Do not install or maintain equipment connected to external lines (for
example, E1 tributaries) during thunderstorms
 Avoid contact with high-voltage sources when installing shelves, cards, and
modules
 Make sure you are familiar with the warning signals and labels on the
equipment, and strictly observe the procedures needed to avoid the
indicated hazards

Grounding Requirem ents

All the equipment, including BG-20 shelves, ancillary units, and equipment
from other vendors, must be properly grounded at all times. Good equipment
grounding is necessary to protect personnel and equipment, minimize noise,
and allow the discharge of accumulated static charges to earth.
Ra ck Gr ou n din g Re qu ir e m e n t s
Connect the rack to the site grounding bar with a ground cable according to
ETSI recommendations (top/bottom connection).
The rack is supplied with a main copper or brass grounding bolt welded to the
rack frame. The grounding stud is identified on the rack by the ground symbol
label.
The rack grounding bolt must be connected to the site grounding bar by a 35
mm2 (2 AWG) grounding cable or thicker, as short as possible, complying with
UL/ETSI recommendations. The bolt must be free of paint. The cable should
be made of copper strands, and terminated on both sides with bolt terminals.
NOTE: If necessary, the gauge of the grounding lead can also

be reduced to the gauge of the RAP power leads.
The rack mounting rails must be free of paint, and provide electrical continuity
to the main grounding bolt. The resistance between any rail and the rack main
grounding bolt must be less than 0.1 Ω.
Pay particular attention to the area in which the RAP is attached. Remove paint
from the rack in this area to ensure efficient electrical contact.
CAUTION: Connect the RAP grounding bolt to the rack

grounding bolt with a grounding cable complying with
UL/ETSI recommendations. The cable should include bolt
terminals on both ends, and should be securely fastened with
a nut and a star washer.

Pow er Supply Requirem ents

The BG-20B shelf requires two power sources with a nominal voltage of -48
VDC. Each power source is protected by a UL-listed circuit breaker installed in
the RAP. The required circuit breakers are included in the installation parts kit
supplied with the equipment, and therefore, their current rating is in accordance
with the order.
The site operator must provide a readily accessible UL-listed disconnect device
incorporated in the fixed power wiring of the site. This device limits the
maximum delivered current to a safe value.

Pr ot e ct ion Aga in st ESD

This section provides guidelines regarding the protection of BG-20 equipment
and its components against electrostatic damage during handling,
packing/unpacking, transport, installation, commissioning, inspections,
servicing, and maintenance.
Electronic equipment, assemblies, and components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge or include sensitive items are identified by the basic
ESD warning symbol shown in the following figure.
Figure 2-2: Basic ESD warning symbol
The information provided in this section is in line with CENELEC Electronic

Components Committee (CECC) specification CECC 00 015, which deals with
protection of devices sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESDS).
Most types of electronic equipment, assemblies, and components can be
damaged by electrostatic discharges. An electrostatic discharge between two
objects occurs when an object carrying static electrical charges touches or is
brought near another object.
Static electrical charges appear as a result of friction between surfaces of
insulating materials or separation of two such surfaces, and may also be
induced by electrical fields. Routine activities such as walking across an
insulating floor, friction between garment parts, friction between objects, and
so on, can easily build up charges to levels that may cause damage, especially
when humidity is low.
In many cases, the build-up of charge can be avoided by using special
materials, for example, garments and packaging can be made of antistatic
materials or materials that have high resistance, but yet are not insulators.

The best way to avoid damage by electrostatic discharge is a combination of

means and procedures that achieves the following goals:
 Avoids build-up of electrostatic charges
 Creates a protected work environment that helps prevent electrostatic
discharges
 Provides means for controlled discharge of any accumulated electrostatic
charges when entering the protected work environment
NOTE: An area in which ESDS can be handled with

minimum risk of damage as a result of electrostatic discharge
or fields, and in which the operator is not exposed to
additional risks, is called an ESD Protected Area (EPA).
Personnel Training
During production and assembly, equipment is handled in workspaces
especially prepared and certified to serve as a permanent EPA. However, in
many cases the environment in which the same equipment is installed or
maintained cannot be assumed to form an EPA with a permanently controlled
boundary. Therefore, all the work involving handling of unprotected ESDS
must be considered as field work.
Field work in this context includes such activities as service and maintenance,
installation, site inspections, and commissioning of components and assemblies
classified as ESDS, together with associated packing and unpacking activities.
All the staff involved in field work must be trained to perform field work in the
same way as work performed in permanent EPAs with respect to the material
quality, personal responsibilities, training, labeling, and packing.

Use of a Tem porary EPA

Where necessary, a temporary EPA must be used. The EPA toolkit includes:
 Wrist strap with 1 M Ω series resistor
 Bonding strap with 1 M Ω series resistor

 ESD carpet (work surface), 0.25 m2 minimum
The temporary EPA must include temporary controlled work surfaces and/or
flooring capable of providing protection against ESD.
CAUTION: The temporary EPA must be constructed in a way

that ensures electrical bonding of all the materials used, and
prevents the occurrence of any sudden changes in potential
within the EPA that could cause unacceptable voltages or
discharges to be applied to ESDS.
A means of equipotentially bonding the operator and any work surface and
flooring to ground must be used. For this purpose, the work surface and wrist
straps must be bonded either to a designated ground bonding point or to the
equipment being serviced.
Whenever available, the mains’ ground serves as the ESD grounding facility.
WARNING:While the operator is within the temporary EPA,

the minimum value of resistance used for bonding to ground
must limit the current to ground, produced by voltages
accessible to the operator, to limits specified as safe by the
applicable regulations (see, for example, CECC 00 015). The
same approach is applicable to the surface resistance and
resistance to ground of materials used for temporary work
surfaces and flooring
To enable ESD bonding to ground of equipment racks and any other

nonmoveable equipment containing ESDS, an ESD ground bonding facility
must be located near such equipment, or the equipment must be fitted with a
designated ground bonding point presenting a resistance to ground not greater
than 1 MΩ.

W ork Arrangem ents W ithin a Tem porary

EPA
To ensure that effective ESD protection is indeed achieved, the following
arrangements must be observed by persons entering and/or performing field
work within a temporary EPA area:
 All operators working within a temporary EPA area must wear, as a
minimum, an ESD antistatic protecting garment made of cotton.
 If the extent of the temporary work area is such that the operator needs to
walk and move within that area, the floor of the area must be capable of
providing protection against ESD.
 The operator must be bonded to ground at all times when handling ESDS.
 If it becomes necessary to remove an ESDS from equipment and transfer it
to a temporary work surface away from the equipment, the ESDS must be
given protective packaging unless equipotential bonding to ground of the
operator is maintained.
 An ESDS must be placed directly into protective packaging when it is
removed from equipment. A replacement ESDS must be kept in its
protective packaging until required for immediate installation in the
equipment.
 The field service operator must ensure that the materials and tools
necessary to maintain and control the temporary EPA are available at the
place of the field work at service time.
 All tools for use within the EPA must, as far as is practical, be constructed
so that they do not generate or hold an induced electrostatic charge.

The installation procedures provided in this chapter assume that:
 The sites at which the installation procedures are carried out comply with
the requirements listed in Site Preparation (on page 2-4).)
 The preliminary preparations specified in Before You Start (on page 2-1)
have been completed.
Before you start, determine what equipment is to be installed in the rack by
referring to the site installation plan, and note the exact position of each unit.
To avoid errors, it is recommended that you mark the prescribed positions on
the rack rails using a soft pencil.
I nst a lla t ion Se que nce

Each component of the BG-20 system is supplied separately and must be
installed in the correct sequence according to the site plan.
A high-density installation might include the equipment illustrated in the
following figure. The different components in the illustration are described,
correlating to the steps in the following table.
NOTE: If you are not installing an FST for a particular BG-20

shelf, it is recommended that you leave empty space in the
rack in case optical modules are added in the future. If you
are not installing a BG-20E for a particular BG-20B shelf, it
is highly recommended that you leave enough empty space
above the BG-20B shelf in the rack in case a BG-20E shelf is
added in the future.
CAUTION:
 If additional equipment is used in the rack, a heat buffer or
a buffer plate must be installed between any such
additional equipment and the BG-20 shelf to minimize the
transfer of heat from shelf to shelf. This heat buffer must
be purchased from ECI Telecom.
 During the installation of equipment in the rack, make
sure all the optical connectors are closed by protective
caps. Do not remove the cap until an optical fiber is
connected to the corresponding connector.

Visua l I n spe ct ion
Before unpacking, make a preliminary inspection of the shipping boxes.
Evidence of damage should be reported immediately to the carrier, the project
manager, and your local ECI Telecom representative.
CAUTION: Static Sensitive Devices
Proper handling and grounding precautions required
BG-20 equipment contains components sensitive to

electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent ESD damage,
strictly observe all the precautions listed in Protection Against
ESD (on page 2-25). Keep parts and cards in their antistatic
packaging material until you are ready to install them.
The use of an antistatic wrist strap connected to a grounded

equipment frame or rack is recommended when handling
cards and modules during installation, removal, or connection
to internal connectors.
You must unpack the equipment on a clean flat surface.
To unpa ck t he e qu ipm e nt :
1. Place the shipping boxes with the top upwards, cut the sealing tape using a
short knife so as not to damage the internal items, and open the top flaps.
2. Remove the items contained in the box and inspect each item for damage.
Check for loose parts or any visual damage to the rack, shelf, and auxiliary
equipment. Also check the integrity of all the connectors, leads, and cables.
NOTE: Do not remove plastic covers from optical connectors

until optical cables are connected to them.
3. Search the shipping boxes for any additional small items that may be
present.

4. Open each of the module and card packages for inspection, but do not
remove the modules/cards from their individual protective packages until
they can be inserted in the shelf.
5. Check the contents of the shipping boxes against the packing list attached
to each box. If damaged parts are detected or if any parts are missing,
notify the project manager and your local ECI Telecom representative.
I nst a lla t ion Opt ions

It is recommended that BG-20 shelves be installed in ECI Telecom
recommended racks. These racks can be installed on wooden, concrete, or
suspended floors, or suspended from overhead mountings.
The following racks are supported:
 Standard 19” rack
 Standard ETSI
 Open frame
NOTE: BG-20 shelves can also be installed in standard street

cabinets. Consult ECI Telecom for more details.
By default, the BG-20 is shipped with 19” mounting brackets.

If you are installing in an ETSI rack, ETSI brackets must be
ordered separately and replaced in the field.
You can install up to eight BG-20B shelves in a rack, or you can install up to
four BG-20 shelves (with the BG-20E) in a rack. Typical installation of four
BG-20 shelves with the BG-20E in an ETSI 2200 rack is shown in the
following figure.

provide mechanical installation instructions for units that require additional
procedures. Skip sections that are not relevant to your particular application.
CAUTION: If additional equipment other than BG-20 shelves

is used in the rack, a heat buffer must be installed between
any such additional equipment and the BG-20 shelf to
minimize the transfer of heat from shelf to shelf. Consult your
ECI Telecom representative regarding the exact heat buffer
required.

I nstalling the RAP- BG
Be for e You St a r t :
Before connecting DC power cables refer to DC Power Cables.
For a description of the BG-RAP, refer to BG-20 Reference Manual.
To inst a ll t he RAP- BG:

1. Prepare DC power cables.
2. Install the RAP-BG in the prescribed location.
3. Ground the RAP-BG to the rack grounding stud.
4. Connect input DC power cables to the RAP-BG.
5. Connect the DC power cables of the BroadGate shelves to the RAP-BG.
6. Install circuit breakers.
7. Check power wiring.
Pr e pa r in g D C I n pu t Pow e r Ca ble s
NOTE: According to accepted industry standards for
connecting DC power, the positive lead (+48 V) should be
connected with a red cable, and the negative lead (-48 V) with
a black cable. However, according to the BS7671 (GB), and
HD 308 S2:2001 (EU) standards the positive lead (+48 V)
should be connected with a blue cable, and the negative lead
(-48 V) with a gray cable. In the following sections that
describe DC power cable connections, use cables with
appropriate colors to comply with the standards in your area
of residence.
The DC input power cables connect the two DC power sources and the RAP-
BG source A and source B inputs. Two cables are required, one for each
source. Each cable consists of two stranded copper leads with a cross section of
50 mm2 (.078 in.2), one red and the other black. Each lead is terminated with a
compression lug from the installation parts kit supplied with the equipment.
NOTE: When the RAP-BG provides power to a single

BroadGate shelf, lower gauge cables may be used. Refer to
DC Power Cables for DC power cable requirements.

CAUTION: If appropriate leads have already been prepared

at the prescribed rack location, before attaching the lugs make
sure that the leads are not connected to any live voltage

M e a su r in g Opt ica l Le ve ls
These measurements check optical signal levels at the various equipment ports.
Before performing any other commissioning test, proper optical levels within
the limits specified in the BroadGate Product Line System Specifications must
be achieved for each optical component.
Perform these measurements using an OPM configured according to the
wavelength at the measurement port. For reliable measurement, do not connect
the OPM directly to a port but use a two-meter fiber. When measuring high
optical power levels, use attenuators to ensure that the power does not exceed
the maximum OPM input level.
The following table provides a typical data form for recording the results of the
optical level measurements.
Table 4-3: Measured optical levels
Slot Module type Port Wavelength Optical Receive level

transmit level (dBm)
(dBm)

The measured power levels are evaluated as follows:

 The measured power must be within the range of minimum and maximum
levels specified in the BroadGate Product Line General Description for the
transceiver plug-in type installed on the corresponding port.
 The measured power must be within the expected range according to the
optical network plan.
It is usually sufficient to measure the optical levels only at the receive ports. A
good port-receive level indicates that the components in the optical path up to
that port are properly connected and operating normally. If the result is not
satisfactory, perform additional measurements at the transmit port in the remote
site.
Sh e lf Pow e r - on Te st Pr oce du r e
Follow the procedure below to test the BG-20 power-on process.
To pow e r on t he N E:
1. Perform slot assignments for all the relevant cards and modules in the shelf.
2. After 10 seconds, turn the shelf circuit breaker off.
3. After 30 seconds, turn the shelf circuit breaker on.
The equipment should automatically return to normal operation, without
user intervention and without any abnormal alarms in the system.

SDH Com m issioning Tests

These commissioning tests check that SDH functionality is in accordance with
the system specifications.
Te st Equ ipm e n t Se t u p
The SDH tests are performed using a PDH analyzer, OPM, and variable
attenuators. Configure the OPM according to the measured wavelength.

N e t w or k Tim in g Syn ch r on iza t ion Te st

This test checks that the BG-20 NEs synchronize properly and switch to the
next priority clock source when a failure occurs.
To pe r for m a ne t w or k t im ing synchr oniza t ion t e st :

1. Define one NE as the (internal) timing source to which all other NEs are
synchronized. This test can be done with an external timing source, if
requested.
2. Define several priorities for the timing source.
3. Disconnect the Rx fiber connected to the NE defined as the main timing
source.
If the NE has two or more timing sources, it synchronizes to the second priority
source, and an alarm is generated for the missing main timing source.
If the NE has only one timing source, the NE timing is set as “hold-over” and
an alarm is generated for the main timing source. Another alarm is generated to
indicate that there is no available timing source.
Loss of Sign a l ( LOS) D e t e ct ion Te st

This test verifies that NEs recognize alarms and send an alarm notification to
the management system for viewing.
To pe r for m a n LOS de t e ct ion t e st :

1. Create NEs and links through the management system.
2. Disconnect the Rx optical fiber from one of the modules. An LOS alarm at
the SPI level of this module port appears, together with other alarms
generated by the disconnection.

I n pu t Se n sit ivit y Te st
This test verifies that the input sensitivity of the BG-20 optical modules is
according to specification.
To pe r for m a n input se nsit ivit y t e st :

1. Create one unprotected trail of any rate between two NEs.
2. Connect test equipment to one NE and perform a loopback at the other NE
(in the relevant endpoint ports).
3. Connect a variable optical attenuator to one of the fibers of the relevant
trail, and set the attenuator to 0 dB.
4. Increase the attenuation gradually until the test equipment displays a burst
of errors.
5. Connect an OPM to the first Rx point after the variable optical attenuator
and measure the total power. The measured optical power level is the input
sensitivity of the module.
6. Verify that the results are in accordance with the BroadGate Product Line
System Specifications.
Equ ipm e n t Pow e r - on Te st

This test verifies that the BG-20 NEs continue operating properly after a power
break, without operator involvement.
To pe r for m a n e quipm e nt pow e r - on t e st :

3. Shut off the power to one of the nongateway NEs within the relevant trail.
Errors and an Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) alarm appear in the test
equipment. After approximately seven minutes, an “NE disconnected”
alarm appears in the management system current alarm list, and the NE
icon turns gray (indicates no communication).
4. Power on the NE and wait for it to perform the initial download to all
cards/modules in the shelf. This can take five minutes.
5. Verify that the NE is connected to the management station and that there
are no relevant alarms in the test equipment or at the management station.

This test verifies that SNCP traffic operates properly when a failure occurs.
To pe r for m a pa t h pr ot e ct ion a n d nonr e t r ie va l t e st :

1. Create one protected trail of any rate between two NEs.
3. Disconnect one of the fibers in the active path of the trail. Short alarm
bursts of less than 50 msec appear in the test equipment, and the
management station reports an alarm in the active path of the trail.
4. Verify that the trail works properly on the protection path.
5. Reconnect the optical fiber. The trail remains on the protection path
(nonretrieve mode), and there is no alarm in the test equipment.

Se ve r it y Assign m e n t Te st
This test, which is performed on one BG-20 NE, determines the level of
urgency accorded to each alarm and creates an alarm-handling protocol.
When a fault is detected or removed, the NE updates the status of the LEDs and
reports the alarm activation or clearing to the management station.
To pe r for m a se ve r it y a ssign m e nt t e st :
1. Disconnect a fiber from one of the optical interfaces. An SPI LOS alarm of
critical severity appears on the management station for the BG-20 and the
MJR LED on the BG-20B panel is on.
2. Reconnect the fiber. The SPI LOS alarm on the management station clears
and the MJR LED on the BG-20B panel is off (only if there are no other
alarms on the BG-20 unit).
3. Change the severity of the SPI LOS alarm to minor.
4. Disconnect a fiber from one of the optical interfaces. An SPI LOS alarm of
minor severity appears on the management station for the BG-20 and the
MNR LED on the BG-20B panel is on (only if there is no critical or major
alarm on the BG-20 unit).
5. Reconnect the fiber. The SPI LOS alarm on the management station clears
and the MNR LED on the BG-20B panel is off (only if there is no other
alarm on the BG-20 unit).

Tr a n sm ission Ala r m - H a n dlin g Te st s

This test verifies that the BG-20 NEs can recognize an alarm and send an alarm
notification to the management system, and that the management system
displays it properly.
This procedure tests the following alarms: PDH-LOS, PDH-AIS, and SPI-LOS.
To pe r for m a t r a nsm ission a la r m - ha n dling t e st :

2. Connect PDH test equipment to one NE and perform a loopback at the
other NE (in the relevant endpoint ports).
3. Disconnect the Tx cable of the test equipment. The management station
reports an LOS alarm for the relevant PDH port.
4. Set the test equipment to transmit an AIS (AIS = on). The management
station reports an AIS alarm for the relevant PDH port.
5. Disconnect the Rx fiber of an optical port. The management station reports
an LOS (SPI-LOS) alarm for the relevant optical port.
If ALS = off, the management station reports a far-end optical port MS-
RDI alarm.
If ALS = on, the management station reports a far-end optical port LOS
alarm.

M a in t e n a n ce Act ion Te st s
This test verifies that maintenance actions can be performed in the BG-20 NEs
using the management system.
This procedure tests a near-end loopback, forced PDH AIS, forced low-rate
RDI, forced high-rate RDI, and forced MS-RDI.
To pe r for m m a int e na nce a ct ion t e st s:

2. Connect test equipment to one NE. The PDH test equipment detects an AIS
alarm.
3. Perform a near-end loopback at the other trail endpoint. The AIS alarm in
the PDH test equipment clears, and no alarm or error remains on the PDH
test equipment.
4. Using the management station, execute a forced AIS on the PDH port that
connects to the test equipment. The PDH test equipment detects an AIS
alarm.
5. Using the management station, execute a forced low-rate RDI (or forced
high-rate RDI or forced MS-RDI) on a BG-20 shelf. Another BG-20 shelf
reports a low-rate RDI (or high-rate RDI or MS-RDI) to the management
station.

Data Netw ork Com m issioning Tests

The data network commissioning tests check that data functionality is in
accordance with system specifications.
Th r ou gh pu t a n d La t e n cy Te st s
These tests determine the time it takes to transmit frames through the network,
and the maximum amount of data that can pass through the network before
frames are lost.
To pe r for m t hr ou ghpu t a nd la t e ncy t e st s:

1. Create two unprotected Ethernet trails of any rate between two NEs in the
network.
2. Connect test equipment to both ports of one NE and connect two ports of
the other NE through an Ethernet cable.
3. Configure the test equipment for RFC-2544 throughput and latency
measurement.
4. Measure the throughput and latency for frame sizes 64, 128, 256, 512,
1024, 1280, and 1518 bytes, and record the results in the appropriate table.
NOTES:
 Measured latency is for both the forward and return paths.
For a single path, the latency will be 50% of the measured
value.
 The latency test is dependent on the throughput results.
For example, if 10 Mbps is tested and the throughput is
4%, the latency test should be for 4 Mbps (2 * VC-12 = 4
Mbps).
 Inject traffic according to the assigned bandwidth (VC-12
= 2.048 Mbps).

3. Configure the test equipment for manual testing according to the port rate
and for any frame size.
4. Power off one of the NEs and verify packet loss in the test equipment.
5. Turn on the NE, wait five minutes, and verify that the errors in the test
equipment have cleared.
Fr a m e Loss- Ra t e Te st
This test determines the number of frames that are lost when the system is
overloaded.
To pe r for m a fr a m e loss- r a t e t e st :
1. Create two unprotected Ethernet trails between two NEs.
3. Configure the test equipment for RFC-2544 for frame loss measurements.
Set to 100%.
The frame loss rate in % is defined according to the following formula:
[(input fps) - (output fps)] * 100 / (input fps)
fps = frames per second
For example, for a 100 Mbps test using 5 * VC-12 = 10 Mbps, with input
fps = 148810 and output fps = 14881, the frame loss is:
148810 - 14881 = 133929, which represents 90% loss.

The purpose of onsite troubleshooting is to identify the hardware causing the
malfunction and return the equipment to normal operation as soon as possible.
Troubleshooting is usually initiated in response to one of the following
conditions:
 Alarm or performance degradation reported by the management station.
 Alarm or malfunction detected onsite by maintenance personnel, either as a
result of a troubleshooting activity initiated by the management center
personnel or as a result of a periodic inspection or preventive maintenance
action. Many problems can be detected via the various indicators available
on the BG-20 system components.
This chapter assumes familiarity with the BG-20, with SDH data, and with the
LightSoft and EMS-BGF management stations. Refer to the respective user
manual for details on the various capabilities of the management stations, and
for instructions on performing the necessary activities.
The following sections provide procedures for performing onsite
troubleshooting for various trouble categories. For each category, you will find
a troubleshooting table that provides the instructions for identifying the trouble.

Green transceiver SFP module damage  On the LCT-BGF, if the SFP
Laser On indicator off type cannot be successfully
obtained, the IDPROM of the
SFP module may be damaged.
Replace the module.
 If the SFP type information is
consistent with the expected
SFP type, force the laser on
through the LCT-BGF. The
laser on indicator should be on.
If not, the SFP module or the
optical module is damaged.
Replace the damaged module.

mismatch alarm in the
corresponding optical interface.
 If yes, check the expected SFP
type first. Correct it if it is not
correct.

 Use an OPM to measure the
output optical power. If the
output optical power is not
within the range of minimum
and maximum levels specified
in the BG-20 System
Specifications during a 90-
second period, the problem is in
the transmit side of the
transceiver. Remove and
reinsert the transceiver.
 Check the output optical power
again. If the output optical
power is still not within the
range of minimum and
maximum levels specified in the
BG-20 System Specifications,
replace the transceiver.
 If the problem persists, check
the receive optical power with
an OPM. If the optical power is
within the range of minimum
and maximum levels specified
in the BG-20 System
Specifications, replace the
transceiver.
 If the problem persists after
following the previous steps,
check the remote site.
 If there are no problems on both
sites, the problem may be in the
optical fiber between the two
sites.
NOTE: Be sure to turn on the ALS
function after performing all checks.

NOTE: An optical port with ALS capability turns off its

transmitter when the corresponding receive signal is lost.
Turning the transmitter off may cause a chain reaction, which
turns the optical signals off in a whole section of the network
and generates a large number of alarms. As a result, it may be
difficult to identify the real cause of the problem, and you
may need to use the management station log records to
identify the port.

Selecting the Proper BG-20 for Each Site ...................................................... C-3
Activating Licenses ........................................................................................ C-4
BG- 2 0 Lice nsing Sche m e

The BG-20B supports ADM-4 and six FE interfaces, thereby accommodating a
real pay-as-you-grow solution based on required services. New services, such
as ADM-4 and FE interfaces, can be implemented where and when required
after appropriate license activation. By using the license-based solution,
carriers can benefit from:
 CAPEX savings: pay according to the required functionality and capacity
 A future-proof solution: the ability to add functions, capacity, and
interfaces when and where required, just by upgrading licenses
The following are some basic concepts that apply to BG-20 licensing:
 The license fee concept is NE-based. This means that the carrier buys the
licenses for a specific NE connected to a specific EMS-BGF, based on a
serial number.
 The license is stored in the EMS-BGF or LCT-BGF and is activated in the
NE according to its serial number. This means that the EMS-BGF or
LCT-BGF searches its managed network for the NE with the appropriate
serial number, in order to activate its license.
 The license policy is enforced both in the EMS-BGF or LCT-BGF, as well
as in the BG-20 NE embedded software.

 The BG-20 NE prevents the creation of any Ethernet service through FE

interfaces on the MXC20 or the implementation of STM-4 ADM until the
license is activated. An appropriate license must be purchased by the
customer to be able to use the following features:
 BG-20B activation as an ADM-4
 First-time activation of or increasing the number of Ethernet ports on
the BG-20B
 BG-20B upgrade from ADM-1 to ADM-4
 The license key cannot be moved from one NE to another.
 The license can only be updated upwards, which means that an ADM-4
cannot be changed to an ADM-1 by issuing a new license. This requires a
special process for deleting an activated license key.
 There is no limitation for using a BG-20 with a high-level license key for
lower-level requirements. For example, a BG-20 NE with a license for
ADM-4 and 4 x FE ports can be installed and used as an ADM-1 without
Ethernet services, just by plugging in the appropriate SFPs. Later, the NE
can be upgraded to the appropriate license key level.
 License activation is not traffic-affecting.
NOTE: The OMS4B always provides one STM-4 interface,

and no license is needed.
All GbE and FE interfaces on the ESW_2G_8F_E are always
activated. No license is needed to activate these interfaces.

Because the license is based on the NE serial number and cannot be moved
from one NE to another, during installation, you must select the proper BG-20
unit from your warehouse for each site you want to install. Although all BG-20
units have the same hardware, they may have different NE types, according to
the license purchased for each NE. For example, if you install a BG-20 with an
ADM-4 license in site A that only needs ADM-1 and you later need an ADM-4
license for site B, there may be only one BG-20 with an ADM-1 license in your
warehouse. In this case, you should either move the BG-20 in site A to site B,
or purchase another ADM-4 license for the BG-20 in your warehouse. Each of
these options has a cost. In order to help you identify the BG-20 license type,
each BG-20 shelf has a label on its package showing its license type, based on
the license you purchased for this unit before its delivery. The following figure
shows an example of a license label.
Figure C-1: BG-20 License Label
You can view the NE license type, ADM rate, and number of Ethernet ports on
the license label.
NOTE: The license type shown on an NE’s license label is

based on the license purchased for this BG-20 before its
delivery. If you purchase additional licenses after this BG-20
is delivered, the license label on its package box may not be
correct. You must check the license type for each BG-20
using the NE serial number and the latest license list you
received after making your latest license order, in order to
ensure that all licenses are according to the latest order.

Act iva t in g Lice n se s

All BG-20Bs are delivered with a default NE type, which is ADM-1 without
any FE interface activated. To upgrade a BG-20 to ADM-4 or to use any
number of FE interfaces on the MXC20, you must activate the appropriate
license for this BG-20, either during installation or any time thereafter when
you want to use these features.
After each license order, you will receive the following license files:
 A file on a CD that includes all the license keys, based on NE serial
numbers. The following CD requirements apply:
 A single CD is delivered with each order.
 The CD can be duplicated for distribution and loading to any number of
EMS-BGFs or LCT-BGFs.
 A printed list of the new licenses. This printout aids in identifying the
license type for each BG-20 according to its serial number and can be used
to manually input required licensing information into the LCT-BGF as part
of the license activation process or as part of an installation without a
loaded CD.
 A license label on each BG-20 shelf box. You will only receive this
information if you order the license for a BG-20 before its delivery. The
license label can help you identify the license type of each BG-20, and
enable you to manually input licensing information in the LCT-BGF or
during an installation without a loaded CD.
To upgrade BG-20 licenses, you should activate the license for each BG-20
through the EMS-BGF or LCT-BGF. The simplest way is to load each license
CD to all your EMS-BGFs and LCT-BGFs so that they always have the latest
license information for all your BG-20 units.
If you activate NE licenses using the EMS-BGF, the EMS-BGF automatically
searches all the BG-20 units that it manages and activates their licenses
according to the latest license information stored in the EMS-BGF.
If you activate NE licenses using the LCT-BGF, you should perform the
activation operation NE by NE. For each NE, the LCT-BGF finds the necessary
license information in its database and activates the NE’s license.

If you have not loaded the latest license CD to your EMS-BGF or LCT-BGF,
you can manually input the license type and license key for each BG-20 during
license activation. In this case, locate the license type and license key for the
BG-20 whose license you want to activate using one of the following methods:
 From its license label on its packing box. Be sure that this license label
includes the latest license information.
 From the latest printed license list, according to its serial number.
 From an EMS-BGF on which the latest license CD has been loaded. The
EMS-BGF has a feature that enables you to view the latest license type and
key for each BG-20 unit by serial number.
