Prior to installing D3LX modules in chassis confirm that:
• chassis are installed for each module (an LEC for the D3LX CO and a Four-Position Remote Terminal
Cabinet or Two-Position QLX Remote BNC Chassis for the D3LX RMT).
• a BNC Patch Panel with ADC adapter cables is installed in the CO rack and at the remote site. For more
information about this operation, refer to
“Installing the BNC Panel” on page 7 .
• protection switching is enabled (if you plan to employ it). For more information about protection switching,
refer to
“Setting Up System Options” on page 19 .
• a meter and variable line attenuator are available.
• fiber-optic patch cords are of appropriate length and that the connectors are of appropriate type (SC or FC)
for your application.
• the optical components receive the proper cleaning procedures. For more information about cleaning, refer to
“Appendix B - Cleaning and Mating Fiber-Optic Systems” on page 39 .
• a Soneplex Controller Unit (SCU) version 3.7 or greater is installed in the LEC.
• any other optional equipment that needs to be installed prior to the D3LX modules, such as an Alarm
Processing Unit (APU) or D3LX Remote Access Module (D3RCAM), is installed. Refer to the optional
equipment documentation for installation information.
