2 Installation safety guidelines
Read the following safety guidelines before performing any platform installation or maintenance
operations on Neptune equipment.
You must adhere to these safety guidelines carefully.
WARNING: Neptune equipment (the "Neptune equipment" or the "Equipment") is

intended for installation in restricted access areas only.
WARNING: Neptune equipment has two power sources. Disconnect both before
servicing. Before starting installation, make sure that the DC power is not connected to the
rack, and that the circuit breakers in the RAP or in the user-provided power distribution
panel are set to OFF.
2.1 Work and equipment safety

NOTE: NPT-1010 equipment is intended for installation in restricted-access areas only.
NPT-1010 platforms contain power sources of varying voltages. Note the following guidelines when
installing the platforms:
 Ensure the integrity of the grounding connections.

 Make sure that sufficient lighting is available.
 Do not work on any equipment connected to a voltage source (DC or AC).
 Ensure that the maximum operating 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 platforms, cards, and modules.
 Make sure you are familiar with the warning signals and labels on the equipment and strictly

NPT-1010 Installation and Maintenance Manual Installation safety guidelines
2.1.1 Grounding requirements

All the equipment, including NPT-1010 platforms, 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.
2.1.2 Rack grounding requirements

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 must 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 .
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 must include bolt terminals on
both ends and be securely fastened with a nut and a star washer.
2.1.3 DC power supply requirements

The NPT-1010_DC platform requires two power sources with a nominal voltage of -48 VDC (-40.8VDC
to -56.7VDC). 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.
CAUTION: Disconnect both power sources before service.
ATTENTION: Dèbranchez les deux alimentations avant l'entretien.
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.

Platform ID Platform-to-RAP Circuit Quantity per platform

connection type breaker
(Amps.)
NPT-1010_DC One cable per POWER 6A  One for nonredundant powering
IN connector  Two for redundant powering
2.1.4 AC power supply requirements

The NPT-1010_AC platform requires an AC power source for its operation. 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.
The protection of the NPT-1010_AC platform relies on the circuit breaker that is part of the building
electrical construction to which the unit is connected.
2.1.5 ITU-T/Telcordia statutory warnings and

requirements
This section outlines the ITU-T and Telcordia statutory warnings and requirements applicable to
Neptune platforms. The source for these requirements can be found in IEC/EN/UL 62368-1.
2.1.5.1 DC supply circuit connection to the grounding conductor
WARNING: There must be a connection between the grounded conductor of the DC

power supply circuit and the equipment grounding conductor. See installation instructions
for more details.
When this connection is made, all the following conditions must be met:
 The equipment is connected directly to the supply system grounding electrode conductor or
to a bonding jumper from a grounding terminal bar/bus to which the DC supply system
grounding electrode is connected.
 The equipment is located in the same immediate area (such as adjacent cabinets) as any
other equipment that has a connection between the grounded conductor of the same DC
supply circuit and the grounding conductor, as well as the point of grounding of the DC
system. The DC system must not be grounded elsewhere.
 The DC supply source is located within the same premises as this equipment.
 There is no switching or disconnecting devices in the grounded circuit conductor between
the DC source and the point of connection of the grounding electrode conductor.

2.1.5.2 Grounding requirements for NEBS compliance

The following statements confirm that the Neptune equipment complies with NEBS Grounding
requirements.
NOTES:
 The Neptune equipment is suitable for installation as part of a Common Bonding Network or
an Isolated Bonding Network, or both.
 The DC battery return input terminals can be connected to an Isolated dc return (DC-I),
Common dc return (DC-C), or both.
2.1.5.3 Ethernet port precautions
WARNING:
 Ethernet ports must be cabled with shielded cables and the shield grounded at both ends.
 Intra-building ports of the equipment or subassembly are suitable for connection to
intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. Intra-building ports of the equipment or
subassembly MUST NOT be connected metallically to interfaces that connect to the OSP or
its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or
Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the
exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order
to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

3.5 Tools and test equipment

No special-purpose tools beyond a standard technician’s toolbox are required for the installation of
NPT-1010 platforms.
Traffic cables can be prepared on site, so make sure suitable tool kits are available. They include tools
for the assembly of coaxial cables as listed in the following table, and tools for the preparation of optical
patch cords.
3.5.1 Clean the optical connectors

When handling optical fibers, clean the optical connectors with the standard cleaning kits recommended
by the manufacturers.
3.6 Preparation of cables and fibers

NOTE: This section provides information for preparing cables and optical fibers. The
necessary cables can be ordered. For details, contact your local sales representative.
The following main types of cables are required for installing the NPT-1010:
 Grounding cables
 DC power cables (RAP input power cables and Platform power cables)
 Alarm cables
 Management cables
 Timing (clock) cables
 Electric traffic cables
 Optical fibers
Some of these cables are supplied as part of the NPT-1010 equipment, while others must be prepared
on site or ordered separately.
In the following sections, you will find information about the cables, and how to prepare them on site,
where relevant. For details about the equipment connector types and cable wiring, see Connection
data.
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.

3.6.1 Grounding cables

Platform grounding is achieved by connecting the platform to the rack using rack mounting brackets
with thread forming screws. 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.
3.6.2 DC power cables

DC power cables must be prepared on site. Two types of DC power cables are needed:
 RAP input power cables
 Platform power cables
Use shielded power cables for DC power connections, with the shields connected to the frame ground
at the rack end only.
3.6.2.1 RAP input power cables

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 16 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 NPT-1010 platforms.
When the RAP is used to provide power to a single NPT-1010 platform, lower-lead gauges may be
used, as follows:
 For runs not exceeding 20 meters, use 10 mm2 copper leads.
 For runs not exceeding 30 meters, use 16 mm2 copper leads.
3.6.2.2 Platform power cables

We supply one 12 AWG cable connects the input power from the rack RAP unit to each POWER IN
connector on the NPT-1010 platform installed in the rack.

3.6.3 Alarm cables

Alarm cables used within NPT-1010 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 NPT-1010 shelf installed in the rack. This cable connects between the ALARMS
connector on the NPT-1010 and one of the ALARMS connectors on the RAP (RAP-4B only). Cable
length is 2.0 m.
NOTE: There are no ALARMS connectors on the RAP-BG.
3.6.4 Management cables

Out-of-band management traffic is connected to the NPT-1010 platform via the RJ-45 (MNG) connector
located on its front panel.
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).
3.6.5 1PPS/ToD timing cable

A timing module (TMSE1_8 or TM10), installed in the Mslot, is required to provide timing and
synchronization to the NPT-1010 platform. The connection is made through the RJ-45 connector,
marked 1PPS/ToD, on the corresponding module front panel, which provides timing and
synchronization input/output signals, supporting IEEE 1588v2 standard.
If the site timing reference distribution systems has a balanced (120  G.703 interface a multi
twisted-pair cable with an RJ-45 connector is available to connect timing signals from the NPT-1010 to
the reference.
If the site timing reference distribution system has an unbalanced (75  G.703 interface, an adapter is
available with coaxial cables that provides balanced-to-unbalanced conversion.
3.6.6 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 NPT-1010 traffic interface type.

3.6.7 Ethernet electrical cables

I/O cards with Ethernet electrical interfaces are connected with electrical CAT6A SFTP 4-pair cables
terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
CAUTION: Intra-building Ethernet ports of the equipment or subassembly must use

shielded intra-building cabling/wiring that is grounded on both ends.
3.6.8 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 NPT-1010 module.
For each optical interface, patch cords are available 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 must 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 NPT-1010 and for replacing fiber in case of
damage (splicing repairs).
When routing fibers, make sure to observe the minimum bending radius (35 mm).

3.7 Protection against electrostatic discharge

This section provides guidelines regarding the protection of NPT-1010 equipment and its components
against electrostatic discharge (ESD) during handling, packing/unpacking, transport, installation,
commissioning, inspections, servicing, and maintenance.
Electronic equipment, assemblies, and components that are ESDS (electrostatic discharge sensitive) or
include sensitive items are identified by the basic ESD warning symbol shown in the following figure.
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 ESD.
Most types of electronic equipment, assemblies, and components can be damaged by electrostatic
discharges. An ESD 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 of antistatic materials or materials that have high resistance, but yet are not
insulators.
The best way to avoid damage by ESD 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 ESD
 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 ESD or fields, and in which the operator is not exposed to additional risks, is called an
ESD Protected Area (EPA).
3.7.1 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 ESD 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 their work in the same way as that
performed in permanent EPAs with respect to the material quality, personal responsibilities, training,
labeling, and packing.
3.7.2 Use of a temporary EPA

Where necessary, use a temporary EPA. The EPA toolkit includes:
 Wrist strap with 1 M series resistor
 Bonding strap with 1 M  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.

The operator and any work surface and flooring must be bonded to ground equipotentially. 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 ESD, 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 M.
3.7.3 Work arrangements within a temporary 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:
 All operators working within a temporary EPA 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 ESDS equipment and transfer it to a temporary work surface
away from the other equipment, the ESDS must be given protective packaging unless
equipotential bonding to ground of the operator is maintained.
 An ESDS unit 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.

Proper handling and grounding precautions required
NPT-1010 equipment contains components sensitive to ESD. To prevent ESD damage,
strictly observe all the precautions listed in Protection against electronic discharge. 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.

To unpack the equipment:
1. Place the shipping boxes with the top upwards on a clean flat surface. 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 one for damage. Check for loose parts
or any visual damage to the rack, platform, 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 platform.
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
vendor's local representative immediately.

The purpose of the air filter is to reduce dust and dirt accumulation on the internal components carried
by the cooling air flowing through the platforms. The combination of dust and humidity produces a
capacitive/conductive layer between components installed on cards that may degrade equipment
performance or even cause malfunctions. Moreover, the insulating effect of a dust layer causes
components to operate at higher temperatures, and this may decrease equipment reliability.
An air filter reduces dirt accumulation preventing degradation of equipment reliability and performance.
The air filter is attached on the side of the platform using a dedicated installation kit.
NOTE: Using an external filter in the NPT-1010 requires a special installation kit (X44742).
To order the frame kit (X35701) and the installation kit, contact customer support or your

5.3.10 Connect fibers and cables to the NPT-1010 in

wall-mounted cabinet
In general, all electrical traffic cables, power cables, alarm cables, and data cables should be routed
along the sides of the wall-mounted cabinet. All optical fibers must be routed through the fiber guide
tube. Electrical traffic and other cables (DC, alarm, management, timing, and so on) must be routed
along the side of the cabinet, and held in place with cable ties.
Use detailed practices described in the NPT-1010 Installation Manual for performing the cables routing
and connections.
In general, the electrical traffic cables should not be routed in the same route as power cables. The
power connectors on the NPT-1010 are on the left; therefore, they should be routed from the left side of
the NPT-1010 pass in the space between the NPT-1010 and the unit installed above it. Then the cable
should be passed through the left cable guide, routed up to the left cable clamp bar and attached to it
with cable ties. It should then be passed upward to the openings in the top cover of the cabinet to the
outer world.
In a similar way, cable connected to connector on the right side of the NPT-1010, for instance
1PPS/ToD cable should be routed from the right side of the NPT-1010 in the space between the unit
and the unit installed above it. Then the cable should be passed through the right cable guide, routed
up to the right cable clamp bar and attached to it with cable ties.
The route of fibers connected to the NPT-1010 should always pass through the fiber protection tube.
This means that the fiber should be inserted in the tube and come out from its other side from there it
should be routed upward to the opening in the top cover of the cabinet.
5.3.11 Wall-mounted frame

The wall-mounted frame is another option for installing the NPT-1010 and accessories in SOHO.
The wall-mounted frame is 300 mm high, 600 mm wide, and 350 mm deep. The front transparent cover

5.3.16 Route and connect cables and fibers in the frame

In general, all electrical traffic cables, power cables, alarm cables, and data cables are routed in the
space beneath the NPT-1010 platform and the frame floor. All optical fibers should be routed through
the flexible tube attached to the right side of the wall-mounted frame. The side to which the cables are
passed is determined by the side of the connectors on the NPT-1010 front panel. For instance, power
connectors are on the left side of the NPT-1010, so power cables are routed on the left side beneath
the platform. The cables are then attached to the cable supports on the left side of the frame with cable
ties.
When routing the various types of cables, observe these principles to avoid electromagnetic and RF
interference:
 Traffic cables must not be routed in the same route as power cables.
 Optical fibers must be routed through the special flexible tube only.

6.2.2 Visual inspection and mechanical checks

The visual inspection checks for proper equipment installation, correct routing and connection of cables,
and other tasks, as follows:
 Equipment installation documents provide the criteria for proper equipment installation.
 The site cabling diagram provides the criteria for proper cabling routing.
After completing the visual inspection tasks (items 1 through 8 in the following table), power on the
NPT-1010 platform to perform an additional set of acceptance tests (items 12 through 17 in the
following table). These tests check the functions needed for carrying out the network commissioning
tests. Consult the Neptune Product Line General Description and the Neptune Product Line Reference
Manual for a description of the various card indicators and their functions.
NOTE: The average startup time varies depending on the configuration of the platform.
The NPT-1010 platform, typically configured with 10 services, takes approximately 3
minutes to start up.

The following table provides a typical list for recording the results of a visual inspection and mechanical
check.
Visual inspection and mechanical checks
No. Description of inspection/check Results

1 Check mechanical mounting of the rack.
2 Check the NPT-1010B/NPT-1010E installation; make sure that the rail
stiffeners are properly installed.
3 Check the ODF and FST installation and fiber connection (if applicable).
4 Check the grounding cable connections.
5 Check the DC power cable connections (main fuse to RAP, RAP fuse to
NPT-1010_DC platform).
6 Check the network manager station installation (if applicable).
7 Check the installation of modules and cards.
8 Check the connection of relevant cables or fibers for all cards installed.
9 Provide DC supply voltage via the POWER IN A and the RAP (-40 V to -75 V).
10 Provide DC supply voltage via the POWER IN B and the RAP (-40 V to -75 V).
11 Power on the platform.
12 Check the proper operation of both RAP power sources by disconnecting one
source at a time.
13 Check the communication between the NPT-1010 platform and the LCT-APT
via the MNG Ethernet interface on the NPT-1010.
14 Check the proper operation of all fans.
15 Check LED operation using the LED TEST option in the LCT-APT.
16 Check slot assignment for relevant module in the Mslot.
17 Check there are no abnormal alarms.
6.2.3 Measure optical levels

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 Neptune 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 illustrates a typical data form for optical level measurements.
Measured optical levels
Slot Module type Port Wavelength Optical transmit Receive level

level (dBm) (dBm)

Slot Module type Port Wavelength Optical transmit Receive level

level (dBm) (dBm)
The measured power levels:

 Must be within the range of minimum and maximum levels specified in the Neptune Product Line
General Description for the transceiver plug-in type installed on the corresponding port.
 Must be within the expected range according to the optical network plan.
It is usually sufficient to measure the optical levels at the receive ports only. 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.
6.2.4 Platform power-on test procedure

To power on the NE:
1. Perform slot assignments for all the relevant cards and modules in the platform.
2. After 10 seconds, turn the platform circuit breaker off.
3. After 30 seconds, turn the platform circuit breaker on.
The equipment should automatically return to normal operation, without user intervention and
without any abnormal alarms in the system.
NOTE: For the setup of the initial configuration of NPT-1010 using CLI, refer to section 2
in the Neptune Installation Guide.
TIP: For basic CLI status command procedures, for example how to check software
version, card status, etc. refer to Neptune CLI User Guide, specifically, section 39.1:
Top-level operation mode commands.

6.3 PDH commissioning tests

These commissioning tests check that PDH functionality is in accordance with the system
specifications.

Coding HDB3
Pattern 2 * 10-15 PRBS
Signal rate 2 Mbps
Timing Internal clock
Inject error Code error
6.3.2 Network timing synchronization test

This test checks that the NPT-1010 NEs synchronize properly and switch to the next priority clock
source when a failure occurs.
To perform network timing synchronization test:
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.

6.3.3 Loss of signal (LOS) detection test

This test verifies that NEs recognize alarms and send an alarm notification to the management system
for viewing.
To perform a LOS detection test:
1. Create NEs and links through the management system.

2. Disconnect the Rx optical fiber from one of the modules. A LOS alarm at the SPI level of this
module port appears, together with other alarms generated by the disconnection.
6.3.4 Input sensitivity test

This test verifies that the input sensitivity of the NPT-1010 optical modules is according to
specifications.
To perform an input sensitivity test:
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 Neptune Product Line System Specifications.
6.3.5 Equipment power-on test

endpoint ports).
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.
6.3.8 Severity assignment test

This test, which is performed on one NPT-1010 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 perform a severity assignment test:
1. Disconnect a fiber from one of the optical interfaces. An SPI LOS alarm of critical severity appears
on the management station for the NPT-1010 and the MJR LED on the NPT-1010 panel turns on.
2. Reconnect the fiber. The SPI LOS alarm on the management station clears and the MJR LED on
the NPT-1010 panel turns off (only if there are no other alarms on the NPT-1010 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 NPT-1010 and the MNR LED on the NPT-1010 panel turns on
(only if there is no critical or major alarm on the NPT-1010 unit).
5. Reconnect the fiber. The SPI LOS alarm on the management station clears and the MNR LED on
the NPT-1010 panel turns off (only if there is no other alarm on the NPT-1010 unit).
6.3.9 Transmission alarm-handling test

This test verifies that the NPT-1010 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 perform a transmission alarm-handling test:

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 a 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 a 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.
6.4 Data network commissioning tests

The data network commissioning tests check that data functionality is in accordance with system
specifications.
6.4.1 Throughput and latency tests

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 perform throughput and latency tests:
1. Create unprotected tunnels between the MoE ports of any two NE’s with 1G/10G/100G rate.
2. Configure 1G/10G/100G ETY ports in both NE’s.

6.4.4 Stability test

This test determines the stability of the network by checking that it can function with no errors for a
defined period of time.
To perform a stability test:
1. Create two unprotected Ethernet trails of any rate (for example, 10/100 Mbps) between two NEs.
3. Configure the test equipment for manual testing according to the port rate and for any frame size.
4. Set the transmit rate in the test equipment to about 90% of the trail bandwidth.
5. Run this test for two hours, and verify that no errors appear in the test equipment.
6.4.5 Alarm-handling test

This test checks the alarm conditions forced on the NE and the subsequent action carried out by the
NE. It tests signal loss to both the data LAN port and to the optical interfaces.
To perform an alarm-handling test:
1. Create two Ethernet trails of any rate (for example, 10/100 Mbps) between two NEs.
3. Disconnect the test equipment to create a signal loss to the data LAN port. This generates a
10/100 Mbps - Link Down alarm.

7.3 Onsite troubleshooting

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 NPT-1010 system components.
This chapter assumes familiarity with the NPT-1010, with SDH data, and with the LightSOFT and
EMS-NPT management stations. See 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, a troubleshooting table provides instructions for identifying the problem.

To use the troubleshooting table:
1. Identify the closest description of the trouble symptoms under “Symptoms”.

General troubleshooting procedures for optical transceiver plug-ins

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

turned off by the ALS function corresponding optical transceiver.
(see the following note)  When available, select
Maintenance > Laser
Management > Laser Switch >
Force Laser On in the LCT-BGF to
activate the corresponding laser.
 Use an OPM to measure the output
optical power. If not within the
range of min. and max. levels
specified in the Neptune Product
Line 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 Neptune Product
Line System Specifications, replace
the transceiver.
 If the problem still exists, check the
received optical power with an
OPM. If the optical power is within
the range of minimum and
maximum levels specified in the
Neptune Product Line System
Specifications, replace the
transceiver.
 If the problem still exists 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.

7.6 Cards and modules replacement

The following sections provide procedures for replacing cards and modules in the NPT-1010.
Refer to Installation safety guidelines for safety and workmanship instructions.
CAUTION: Static Sensitive Devices

PROPER HANDLING AND GROUNDING PRECAUTIONS REQUIRED
NPT-1010 equipment contains components sensitive to ESD. To prevent ESD damage,
strictly observe all the precautions listed in Protection against electrostatic discharge. Keep
parts and cards in their antistatic packaging material until you are ready to install them.
Use an antistatic wrist strap connected to a grounded equipment frame or rack when
handling cards and modules during installation, removal, or connection to internal
connectors.

When inserting cards and modules, be sure to carefully align the card/module with the platform guide
rails. If you feel resistance during insertion, immediately retract the card/module and repeat the
process.
Hold the card/module straight during insertion and removal, and pull or push it slowly and carefully to
avoid touching components located on adjacent cards/modules.
Do not use excessive torque when tightening the fastening screws of cards and modules.
Visually inspect the card and the mating backplane connectors and make sure that there are no signs
of physical damage. In particular, check for bent connector pins.
1. Check that the replacement component has not been physically damaged during shipment.
2. Remove the replacement component from its antistatic protection packaging, and perform a visual
inspection to detect damage during shipment. Report any problems.
3. Record the hardware and software versions as indicated on the component identification labels,
and make sure they are compatible with those of the component to be replaced.
After replacing a component:
1. Place it in its antistatic protection packaging and close it.

2. Attach a report to the packaging explaining the reason for the replacement, and identify the
network site, physical location, platform, and time of replacement.

8.8.3 ALARM IN/OUT connector

The ALARM IN/OUT connector is a 68-pin SCSI female connector that carries three groups of lines to
the customer equipment:
 Sixteen external alarm inputs connected to the ALARM inputs of the Neptune platforms. Four
inputs are allocated to each one. Each input is activated by closing a dry contact provided from
the customer's facility.
 Eight sets of changeover relay contacts, floating with respect to platform ground, that serve as
rack (bay) status outputs. Each couple of the eight relays is assigned to the two output alarm lines
of each Neptune platform connected to the xRAP-100.
 Four sets of changeover relay contacts, floating with respect to platform ground, that serve as rack
(bay) alarm indication lines. The relays, identified as critical, major, minor, and warning, are
activated by the corresponding alarm relays of Neptune platforms.
Relay contact ratings are 57.6 V in open state and 1A in closed state.
