Mount Metropolis
®
DMXplore Access Multiplexer, dress the optical
cables to the left using the fiber management module.
...........................................................................................................................................................................
Step 13
Route the optical jumpers from the side of the shelf.
...........................................................................................................................................................................
Step 14
Establish verbal communications with the technician at the other end of
the optical span.
...........................................................................................................................................................................
Step 15
At both ends of the optical span, remove protective covers from receive
and transmit optical jumper cables and clean LC connectors.
Important!
The Metropolis
®
DMXplore OLIUs require single-
mode lightguide cable. Single-mode optical fibers connecting this
shelf with the far-end shelf should not be connected to the OLIU
until at least 45 seconds after an optical loopback is removed. It
may take from 15 seconds to 3.5 minutes for the FAULT LEDs to
stop flashing after the cables are connected, depending on the
setting of the OC-3/OC-12 signal degrade threshold.
...........................................................................................................................................................................
Step 16
At both ends of the optical span, ensure that only the dual LC adapter is
installed on the OLIU (no LBO).
Important!
For Metropolis
®
DMXplore OC-3/OC12 UPSR ring
configurations, optical fibers extend in two different directions to
make up the ring. At each shelf (node) in the ring, the M1 OLIU
will connect to the M2 OLIU in one adjacent node, and the M2
OLIU will connect to the M1 OLIU in the other adjacent node.
When the Metropolis
®
DMXplore is interfacing with other
equipment such as a Metropolis
®
DMX Access Multiplexer at low-
speeds (OC-3/OC12) using 1+1 protection, the Main 1 of the
DMXplore will connect to the slot 1 of the function Group (e.g.
A1, B1, C1, D1, or G1 for the Metropolis
®
DMX Access
Multiplexer). The Main 2 of the DMXplore will connect to the slot
2 of the function Group (e.g. A2, B2, C2, D2, or G2 for the
Metropolis
®
DMX Access Multiplexer).
