zNID Hardware Installation Guide
Connect to network
Connecting the SC connectors
Connect the SC connector from the electronics module to the SC connector in
the zNID enclosure.
Observe the necessary precautions to decrease the risk of exposure to laser radiation.
WARNING!
Risk of eye damage. At all times when handling
optical fibers, follow the safety procedures recommended by your
company.
Although Zhone optical products have a Class I certification, hazardous
exposure to laser radiation can occur when fibers are connected, disconnected
or broken. Handling of optical fibers without dust caps increases the risk of
exposure. Exposure to either visible or invisible laser light can damage your
eyes under certain conditions.
1
Remove the fiber service cover by removing the fiber service screw and
then sliding the fiber service cover forward (toward the connection panel
of the 2424).
Using your thumb push on the raised marking on the fiber service cover to
slide it off.
For a new unit the fiber service cover will be in a bag, so you will not
need to do this step.
2
Remove the dust covers from the SC/APC optical connectors. Clean the
connector if necessary.
3
Plug in the fiber connector to connect the 2424 to the network.
Note:
To function properly the optical strength to the zNID
should be between -8dBm and -27dBm
4
Reattach the fiber service cover onto the zNID including the fiber service screw.
