ODS2 MODULE AND REMOTE SYSTEM END-TO-END TEST PROCEDURES
Summary : This procedure tells how to connect a Craft Interface device to the Soneplex
equipment and configure ODS2 modules. It also tells how to connect test equipment, and how to
perform an end-to-end test of a Soneplex system with ODS2 modules. Protection switching tests
are also provided in case protect modules are employed in the system. The procedure assumes
the equipment in the Soneplex chassis and at the remote Fiber Loop Converter has been installed
and has passed local tests. It also assumes that fiber has been installed at both ends and the
circuit connection is complete. This procedure must be performed before attempting to operate
the entire circuit or system that will be using this equipment.
Danger : Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber, or look directly into the module
fiber connectors. Exposure to invisible laser radiation may result, which can damage the
retina of the eye. An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers.
Danger : To avoid electric shock, be careful when working near HDSL loop connections
or telecommunications circuits. An electrical potential of ±130 volts exists on HDSL
loop connections and telecommunications circuits. Coming in contact with this high
electrical potential will result in death or severe personal injury.
Do Items Below in the Order Listed For Details Go To
1. Obtain the following tools and equipment:
• Anti-static wrist strap
• DS3 test set with DS1 option (for central office end of the circuit)
• DS1 test set (for remote end of the circuit)
• VT-100 compatible terminal or computer with terminal
emulation software
2. Coordinate test with a technician located at the remote end of the
circuit and ensure test procedures there have been completed. Refer
to the Quad DS1 Fiber Loop Converter (B2/B3/D3) User Manual,
and the Quad Loop Extender (QLX) Operation and Maintenance
Manual, listed under Related Publications at the beginning of this
manual, for more information.
3. At both ends of the circuit, make any necessary cross-connects at
the optical patch panel (if used).
4. Open the chassis front cover.
