Documentation overview 1-
Introduction
This chapter provides an introduction to the documentation suite for the
OPTera Metro 4150 multiplexer.
The documents are divided into functionally related groups as follows:
• Common — provides information common to all OPTera Metro 4150
documents, for example: safety, master index, terms and abbreviations
• Descriptive — provides descriptions of the equipment, alarms, surveillance
features, system applications and performance specifications
• Installation — provides installation procedures
• Commissioning and testing — provides commissioning and software
provisioning information to enable the system to be initialized before
services are enabled
• Operations, administration and provisioning — provides information
needed for OA&P purposes
• Maintenance — contains information for maintenance purposes, including
procedures for troubleshooting, clearing alarms and replacing units
NTP numbering
The above documentation groups provide the basis for the division of the
documentation suite. Each individual document is identified by a unique
10-digit Nortel Networks technical publication number in the form
XXX-YYYY-ZZZ, where:
• XXX represents a division number identifying the system name.
• YYYY represents the layer number identifying the product line.
• ZZZ represents the key number identifying the type of information.
The XXX and YYYY numbers are the same throughout the documentation
suite. The ZZZ number identifies the individual module.
List of documents.
The OPTera Metro 4150 documentation suite is presented in modular form;
each module describes a particular part of the system or explains how to use
it. The following paragraphs give a brief description of the contents of each
module.
See Table 1-1 for ordering codes for OPTera Metro 4150 documentation.

Caution notices are provided to alert the reader to situations where damage to
equipment or interruption of service may occur if the proper precautions are
ignored.
To avoid risk of injury or damage to equipment, follow all of the warning and
caution notices provided in this document and on the OPTera Metro 4150
equipment, as well as the general safety procedures established by your
company.
Note: The lasers normally operate in the Class 1 classification band and
only enter Class 3A under worse case fault conditions.
The Acceptable Emission Limits (AEL) is based upon wavelength, for a Class
3A laser product the following AEL limits apply:
• 1300nm laser wavelength, the AEL is 24mW (+13.8dBm)
• 1500nm laser wavelength, the AEL is 50mW (+17.0dBm)
FDA 21 CFR 1040.10
The Class IIIb laser product classification has been assigned to this
equipment, under normal operating.
The Acceptable Emission Limits (AEL) is based upon wavelength, for a Class
IIIb laser product the following AEL limits apply:
• 1300nm laser wavelength, the AEL is 500mW (+27.0dBm)
• 1500nm laser wavelength, the AEL is 500mW (+27.0dBm)
CAUTION
Damage to optical fibres
When dressing fibres, take care not to exceed the minimum bend
radius (typically 35 mm) and do not overtighten tyraps used for
dressing as damage may result.
WARNING
Danger from glass chips
If there is any suspicion of a glass chip in the eye, seek medical
attention at once.
Handle optical fibres carefully and always position them in a safe and secure
location during installation.
• Do not handle pieces of cut fibre with bare fingers. Use tweezers, or the
sticky side of a piece of vinyl tape, to pick up and discard any loose fibre
ends.
• All fibre cuttings should be placed in a plastic bottle provided for that
purpose.
WARNING
Optical safety - automatic laser shutdown (ALS) mechanism
The optical units contain link options for disabling the automatic
laser shutdown mechanism for test purposes. In normal
operation, ensure that the laser shutdown mechanism is enabled
(see Maintenance Procedures, 323-1133-547 for details).
As the type of optical connectors used on all the systems do not involve the
use of lenses, both the above conditions can be considered to be equivalent,
i.e. the safety consideration is equivalent to that for an exposed fibre end.
WARNING
Invisible laser radiation
Do not stare into beam or view directly with optical instruments.
Class 3A laser product. IEC 60825-1, 1998
Servicing
The optical units are not intended for servicing by the operator. In the event of
a fault, the optical units must be returned to Nortel Networks for repair or
replacement.
The optical output power level above is the mean power value which is the
most onerous from the safety point of view.
Identification
Yellow laser output warning labels (see below) are fixed to the optical cards
on laser based systems. The label is positioned close to the optical connector.
Yellow explanatory labels (see below) are fixed to the equipment which
define the laser classification.

LASER PRODUCT
Note: The ALS link on the optical card has no effect on this shut down
mechanism.
CAUTION
Optical safety - laser shutdown mechanism
The optical units contain link options for disabling the laser
shutdown mechanism for test purposes. In normal operation,
ensure that the laser shutdown mechanism is enabled.
Automatic laser shutdown (ALS) occurs if the RS-LOS alarm is present for
greater than 550+50 ms. If the alarm clears the laser is switched back on
immediately. If the alarm does not clear, the laser attempts to automatically
restart by pulsing the laser on for 2 seconds every 180 seconds.
Note: The operation of ALS can be disabled by removing the optical card
and inserting a link on the card. The OS-Disable_Laser_Shutdown alarm
is raised for the optical port instance.
Conclusions
The equipment design minimizes the access to optical radiation both
physically and procedurally during all phases of operation. The accessible
optical radiation available in these systems are within the IEC60825-1 Class
3A and FDA 21 CFR1040.10 Class IIIb limits.
Electrical safety
WARNING
Electric Shock/Energy hazard
The -48/60 Vdc supply can cause electric shock and can deliver
high currents.
Avoid contact with live parts.
Remove all rings, watches and other metal jewellery before
commencing work. Do not bridge conductors with tools etc.
CAUTION
The cards contain static sensitive devices. These devices are
sensitive to static electricity and must be protected by special
2
handling and packaging.
The problem occurs when static is rapidly discharged either through the
equipment or via the equipment covers and adjacent metalwork.
conductive floor and bench mats connected to the equipment rack ESD
bonding point.
• All test equipment and trolleys should be connected to the ESD bonding
point.
Mechanical handling considerations
CAUTION
Risk of personal injury
Due to the weight of the subrack, the mounting of the subrack in
the rack requires two installers for safe working.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to equipment
When inserting a card, ensure that the card is inserted in the
card-guides.
Hazardous materials
There are no potentially hazardous materials that require special handling
during normal operation, maintenance and repair. However, small amounts of
hazardous materials are used in the manufacture of some electrical
components.
The terms and abbreviations listed in this section are neither intended to be
exhaustive, nor are they to be used as authoritative standards. To a large

become unacceptable and that it has been taken out of service.
Aggregate
The higher rate signal output from a multiplexer which is a combination of
the lower rate signals.
Configuration
The process of entering parameters after initialization so that the equipment is
configured by the software to suit the requirements of the customer.

Container (C)
Basic element of the STM-1 signal consisting of a group of bytes allocated to
carry the transmission rates defined in ITU-U recommendation G702.
Detached mode
An operating mode of the NE in which routing of traffic cannot be altered
without operator intervention.
Frame
A set of consecutive bytes in which the position of the bytes can be identified
by reference to a frame alignment word.

position, slot, port number, and payload.
Interleaving
The process of cyclically combining the data bits from several tributaries to
form a serial data stream.
Jitter
Short term variations of the significant instants of a digital signal from their
ideal positions in time.
Justification
A process whereby an extra, non-data bit is inserted into some frames of the
tributary data but not others, in order to adjust the average tributary bit rate to
correspond to the multiplexer frame rate.
Holdover mode
An operating mode in which the NE maintains the timing of the last
synchronization source.
Multiplexing
The process of combining a number of signals so that they can share a
common transmission facility.
Plesiochronous
The essential characteristic of time-scales or signals such that their
corresponding significant instants occur at nominally the same rate, any
variation in rate being constrained within specified limits.
Synchronous
The essential characteristic of a time-scales or signals such that their
corresponding significant instants usually occur at precisely the same average
rate.
Tributary
