personal injury, damage to equipment and/or have negative consequences for the envi-
ronment.

Observe the applicable country-specific regulations for protective and security mea-
sures!

t Unless indicated by date specification, all standards (for example, European Norm (EN),
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), Underwriters Laboratories (UL)) men-
tioned in the following paragraphs pertain to the latest, most up-to-date issue of the
respective standard.

Replacement parts
To replace any parts of devices or cables, use only original spare parts or parts which
are explicitly licensed by the manufacturer.

2.5.1 Laser Safety


Hazard level of Groove™ G30 equipment
The governing standard is IEC 60825-2:2004+A1:2006+A2:2010. For convenience, this
specific version of the standard is referred to as simply “IEC 60825-2” in appropriate
places below.
According to its scope and object, this standard provides requirements and specific
guidance for the safe operation and maintenance of optical fiber communication
systems (OFCS).
According to the rationale of this standard, because of the extended nature of these
OFCS (where optical power, under certain conditions, may be accessible many kilome-
ters from the optical source), the precautions to minimize the hazard will be different
from those concerning laser sources, which are normally under local operator control.
With reference to the definitions in this standard: provided the operating organization
uses the Groove™ G30 equipment in restricted location or controlled location, and
provided the requirements in this chapter are met, the Groove™ G30 equipment is clas-
sified as hazard level 1M. The location types refer to both transmission path and data
center.

GDM-G30FP030-09-0A Page 9 Rev A, April 2018


Safety Instructions (SI) Safety Instructions:

Hazard level 1M
According to IEC 60825-2 it must be taken into account that the laser radiation used by
Groove™ G30 equipment is invisible. The maximum accessible emission if no optical
instruments are used is considered safe. The hazard level 1M definition relies in partic-
ular on the requirement that the laser radiation is not viewed directly with non-attenuat-
ing optical instruments.
Figure 1 shows the corresponding explanatory label attached to Groove™ G30 equip-
ment (English).

Location with restricted access: restricted location


According to IEC 60825-2, the restricted location is an accessible location that is
normally inaccessible by the general public by means of any administrative or engineer-

GDM-G30FP030-09-0A Page 10 Rev A, April 2018


Safety Instructions (SI) Safety Instructions:

ing control measure, but that is accessible to authorized personnel who may not have
laser safety training.

Location with controlled access: controlled location


According to IEC 60825-2, the controlled location is an accessible location where an
engineering or administrative control is present to make it inaccessible, except to autho-
rized personnel with appropriate laser safety training.

OFCS power limits


IEC 60825-2 defines hazard level 1M limits for the maximum mean power (MMP) of
laser light present at any open connector (including the front panel connectors of cards),
or at any accessible location where the fiber system is open (e.g., a broken fiber).
The MMP depends on the specific fiber type and wavelength.
As made clear by IEC 60825-2, the MMP of single-mode fibers decreases with increas-
ing Mode Field Diameter (MFD) and with decreasing wavelength.
Table 4 lists MMP values for single-mode fibers.

Wavelength Hazard level 1M Maximum Mean Power


1550 nm 136 mW
1420 nm 115 mW
1270 nm to 1310 nm 42.8 mW

Table 4 Hazard level 1M MMP at different wavelengths for single-mode fibers with
worst case MFD 11 μm

Standard Single Mode Fiber has an MFD smaller than 11 μm for a wavelength of 1550
μm and below.

Requirements for Groove™ G30 to maintain hazard level 1M


Requirements to ensure that a Groove™ G30 system maintains hazard level 1M include
the following:
ವ Groove™ G30 components must not be modified by the operator. If any component
is modified, or if the system is not operated according to applicable regulations, the
operating authorization will expire.
ವ The Groove™ G30 system must be operated with single-mode fiber having an MFD
not larger than 11 μm. If fibers with an MFD larger than 11 μm are used, it cannot be
guaranteed that the Groove™ G30 system meets hazard level 1M. Before attempt-
ing to use such fibers, it is mandatory to contact the Coriant representative for
analysis and guidance. It may be possible to use such fibers and maintain hazard
level 1M, based on multiple factors such as amplifier configuration and presence of
the optical supervisory channel.

Hazard level 1M not possible if high-power connectors with lens system are used

f DANGER! For the Groove™ G30 system, Coriant does not approve the use of high-
power connectors with lens system. The reason is the focused beam of these connec-
tors. Significantly higher radiation exposure can occur with open high-power connectors

GDM-G30FP030-09-0A Page 11 Rev A, April 2018


Safety Instructions (SI) Safety Instructions:

compared to the regular LC/Multiple-fiber Push On (MPO) fiber connectors approved for
use in the Groove™ G30 system.
For power levels on those regular LC/Multiple-fiber Push On (MPO) connections cur-
rently rated at hazard level 1M in the Groove™ G30 system, it is the operator's respon-
sibility to assign a higher hazard level if high-power connectors with lens are used
instead. If such high-power connectors are used, it is the operator's responsibility to
guarantee laser safety on every connection using high-power connectors with lens
system.
The IEC 60825-2 recommendation is to make such fiber connections inaccessible,
which means, under reasonably foreseeable events, human access to laser radiation is
not possible without the use of a tool. Any connection using a high power connector
must be in a closed cabinet requiring a tool for opening. The optical power on the fiber
must be shut down prior to opening any connection using a high-power connector with
lens system. Any connection using a high-power connector must be closed prior to
applying power to the fiber.

Groove™ G30 laser safety features


The Groove™ G30 system features the following laser safety mechanisms:
ವ Automatic Power Shutdown (APSD)
For additional details about these laser safety features, please see the Groove™ G30
User Guide (UG).
The Groove™ G30 safety mechanisms guarantee that the maximum foreseeable mean
power (FMP), including malfunction, at an open connector is not higher than:
ವ 136 mW (21.3dBm) @1550 nm wavelength range (DWDM C-band amplifier)

g The software does not intentionally to allow user disable the APR/APSD function.

Hazard level evaluation for fiber carrying a multiple-wavelength signal


The hazard level depends on both the power levels and whether the wavelengths are
additive. The nominal wavelengths used in Groove™ G30 optical fiber systems are
between 1510 nm (short OSC wavelength), C-band between1528 nm and 1568 nm,
1610 nm (long OSC wavelength). Nevertheless, wavelengths in the range 1250 nm to
1700 nm can occur on the fiber. For this wavelength range, the hazards are always addi-
tive.
To assess the hazard level for a fiber with a multi-wavelength optical signal, it is neces-
sary to calculate the maximum foreseeable mean power (including malfunction) in the
fiber at each wavelength as a proportion of the maximum mean power in the fiber at that
wavelength (for example 25%, 60%, and so on, up to 100%), and then add these com-
ponents together.
If the total proportion exceeds 1 (100%), then the foreseeable mean power in the fiber
exceeds the limit allowed for hazard level 1M. In order to meet hazard level 1M require-
ments, appropriate steps must be taken, such as reducing the channel feed power or
reducing the number of channels.

Warnings and cautions


Any plug socket on the front panel of a card and any optical fiber cable opened on one
side must be regarded as being “in operation”. Never, under any circumstances, look
into an open plug socket or into an open optical fiber cable! The laser radiation emitted
is invisible.

GDM-G30FP030-09-0A Page 12 Rev A, April 2018


Safety Instructions (SI) Safety Instructions:

Fibers connected to Groove™ G30 equipment that are routed out of its 'Controlled Loca-
tion' or 'Restricted Locations' (for example, Line Fiber) should not be placed in or routed
through an 'Unrestricted Location' unless requirements for such a location as described
in IEC 60825-2:2004+A1:2006+A2:2010 are met. The responsibility for identifying and
meeting these requirements is borne by the operator.
The APSD function scheme is triggered immediately, when the transmission fiber
system is opened. The lasers are shut-down in the line amplifier emitting toward the
open fiber end. Normal operation is recovered within seconds once the fiber system is
closed.

2.5.1.1 General rules on laser safety


The Groove™ G30 equipment is compliant with IEC 60825-2:2004+A1:2006+A2:2010,
especially as pertains to defining whatever laser hazard level exists at an open connec-
tor or fiber break, if a “single point fault” occurs. The single fault could be caused by a
system problem or operator mistake.

General rules concerning personal safety


To avoid personal injuries, observe the following rules according to IEC 60825-
2:2004+A1:2006+A2:2010:
ವ Labels: damaged and/or missing labels must be reported.
ವ Fiber cleaning: for maintenance and cleaning, only the methods described in
Groove™ G30 documentation are permitted. In particular, in order to avoid eye
injury, optical fibers and connectors must be cleaned only when they are physically
disconnected from the Groove™ G30 equipment.
ವ Viewing aids: use only approved filtered or attenuation viewing aids.
ವ Test cords: the power source should be the last to be connected and the first to be
disconnected, if optical test cords are used.
ವ Test equipment: when using test equipment, make sure that the selected equipment
is within the lowest class necessary for the test you want to perform. Do not use test
equipment above Class 1M, and follow the test equipment safety instructions strictly.

Protection of optical cards and against emitted laser light


Depending on the device type, the laser radiation may be invisible to the human eye.

f DANGER! The Groove™ G30 system contains laser devices which operate at high
optical power levels. Never look into the end of a fiber, fiber connector, fiber patch cord,
fiber pigtail, card connector, or plug socket on a front panel until you are sure that no
light is present. Permanent eye damage or blindness can result if exposed to such
optical power levels, even for extremely short durations. After disconnecting a fiber from
a card port, always use the supplied safety devices (for example, protection caps). Read
and follow all laser warning labels affixed to the shelf. Use only approved filtered or
attenuated viewing aids or video equipment.

Additional information on laser safety


To ensure safe operation of the entire optical path, the laser safety shutdown will be acti-
vated automatically.
To avoid health hazards, observe the provisions for protection against laser radiation:

GDM-G30FP030-09-0A Page 13 Rev A, April 2018


Safety Instructions (SI) Safety Instructions:

ವ IEC 60825-2:2004+A1:2006+A2:2010 for use with IEC 60825-1:2007, and corre-


spondingly
ವ EN 60825-2 for use with EN 60825-1
Be extremely cautious when connecting or disconnecting fibers, since high optical
power levels can be present at card connectors or fiber ends.
Personnel must be acquainted with, and follow, all safety a-nd handling guidelines as
published by the relevant regulatory agencies for the hazard level(s) designated.
Responsibility for identifying, studying, and adhering to applicable laser, electrical,
mechanical, and other safety standards for the installation, operation, and maintenance
of this equipment is limited to the operator.

2.5.1.2 Laser safety in multiplexing path


In the Groove™ G30 DWDM multiplexing path, the lasers of a large quantity of interface
cards (transponders, muxponders, or regenerators) supply the individual channels that
are multiplexed together. The potential for a defective card or interface is a recognized
and unavoidable trait of any telecommunications system. Defective components in the
multiplexing tree create the risk of the output power exceeding Hazard Level 1M. Optical
power at or above the 1M limit must be avoided under all circumstances, since it
presents a risk of personal injury. Defective components compromising laser safety
must be immediately removed from the system.
Careful network design and planning must ensure that the Hazard Level 1M limit is not
reached. Planning must be such that even if an individual interface error occurs, the mul-
tiplexer output power remains in the safe range. Commonly-used and recommended
methods to keep the output power in the safe range are as follows:
ವ Limiting the total number of interface cards (transponder, muxponder, regenerator)
supplying individual optical channels to the multiplexer.
ವ Limiting channel power by adjusting the interface card output power, including the
use of fixed attenuators.
Periodic supervision of the multiplexer power and spectrum is also a good method to
avoid the potential of hazardous increases in multiplexer output power.

g If third party interfaces are used, the operator is solely responsible for the observation
and analysis of their specifications and power limits!

As a supplement to careful network planning, the Groove™ G30 system provides an


automatic supervision and reporting scheme (power monitors, alarms) that assists in
identifying conditions that compromise laser safety. It must be emphasized, however,
that this automatic supervision scheme does not replace careful network design, plan-
ning, commissioning, service, and maintenance procedures. Furthermore, the supervi-
sion scheme cannot detect all possible error cases. This supervision scheme includes
the following:
ವ If an individual laser power exceeds the permitted operating range, it may become
visible by traffic loss, traffic degradation, a transponder can be configured with
suitable transmitter output power threshold. If output power is higher than the thresh-
old, OPT-HT threshold crossing alarm will be reported.
Additional details about Groove™ G30 laser safety alarms relevant to the multiplexing
path are provided below.

Safety Instructions (SI) Safety Instructions:

Groove™ G30 optical interfaces


The following operational power limits must be applied to the Groove™ G30 optical
interfaces:
ವ 5.3 mW (+7.23 dBm) maximum operational power for up to 48 multiplexed DWDM
channels
ವ 2.5 mW (+3.96 dBm) maximum operational power for up to 96 multiplexed DWDM
channels

Alien wavelengths
For the usage of alien wavelengths in conjunction with Groove™ G30 Wavelength
Division Multiplexing (WDM) safety requirements according to Table 4 of this document
must be observed.
The following power limits must be applied to alien wavelength interfaces:
ವ 5.0 mW (+7.02 dBm) maximum operational power for up to 48 multiplexed DWDM
channels
ವ 3.2 mW (+5 dBm) maximum operational power for up to 96 multiplexed DWDM
channels
ವ It must be ensured that the absolute maximum power output of Laser Class 1 (10
mW / 10 dBm) is never exceeded even in case of optical interface card malfunction
It must be noticed that, in the case of interfaces with configurable output power, there is
an error margin that should be added to the configurable power level upper limit. For
example, an optical interface configurable up to +6 dBm may operationally emit 7.5dBm.

f WARNING! In case one of these upper operational or hazard power limits is exceeded,
laser safety requires to patch the output power down to the specified values by appro-
priate fixed attenuators.
In all other cases direct colored interworking imposes several risks on performance of
existing traffic and installed equipment. Laser safety can also be at risk. Coriant will be
not responsible for any reduced functionality, malfunctions, damages or other harm
caused by the nonobservance of this directive.

Handling of alarms with laser safety impact


A card raising an alarm with laser safety impact must be replaced without further delay,
since laser safety is compromised in this condition. Appropriate fault clearing proce-
dures as described in the customer documentation must be performed within one week
at longest.

RUP-FAIL

f DANGER! If a card enters a fault state that causes a Replaceable Unit Problem-Failed
(RUP-FAIL) alarm, the card may not be able to perform functions related to laser safety.
In such situations, Coriant cannot guarantee that the system meets Hazard Level 1M
according to IEC60825-2. Therefore, when a card raises the RUP-FAIL alarm, appropri-

Safety Instructions (SI) Safety Instructions:

ate fault-clearing procedures as described in the User Guide (UG) must be completed
as soon as possible.

2.5.1.3 Handling cards and fiber optic equipment


All cards are pluggable. They have a mechanical coding on their connectors. This
ensures that each card can only be pushed fully into a slot intended for this type of card
in the shelf.
All cards can be inserted and extracted with the power supply still connected without
damaging the card or other cards in the shelf.

Connector types
To guarantee acceptable system performance, any fibers supplied by the customer that
are connected to Groove™ G30 components must be terminated with LC/PC connec-
tors. Failure to do so may result in unacceptable optical performance.

Handling optical fiber connectors and cables


Optical connectors are precision-made components and must be handled accordingly.
To ensure fault-free operation, observe the following:
ವ Network elements may only be connected to line fibers in compliance with the
network plan established using Coriant TransNet planning tool.
ವ Fiber connections should be established according to the rules outlined in the User
Guide (UG). Neither laser safety hazard level 1M nor 1 may be available, if other
connections have been established. In the worst case scenario, class 3B laser
power may occur at open fiber ends.

f DANGER! Incorrectly connected patch cords can disable Laser Safety mecha-
nisms.
This applies in particular to the patch cords between BAUOFP2 and OMD48 or
OMD96, PAULROFP2 and OMD48 or OMD96, BAUOFP2 and PAULROFP2, or
MSA port fiber of PAULROFP2.
Always check carefully all patch cord connections.

ವ The minimum bending radius for optical fibers is to be observed.


ವ The lines must not be kinked even for brief periods of time. Avoid applying any
traction force to the connectors.
ವ Shock loads should be avoided when working with connectors. Shock loads can
lead to mechanical damage to the faces of the optical connectors.
ವ When making an optical connection, make sure that the individual connection
elements are correctly and securely fastened.

Handling broken optical fiber connectors and cables


Follow the correct procedures and take special care when handling damaged fiber optic
lines. Broken optical fibers can be very sharp and can cause injury to eyes or skin! Small
pieces of fiber that are nearly invisible can penetrate the skin or even the eyes causing
serious damage! Eye injuries might also occur due to light coming out of broken edges.

Cleaning the optical connectors


The use of dirty connectors will most likely result in irreversible damage to fiber end
faces and/or connector and unacceptable optical performance. The damaged compo-

GDM-G30FP030-09-0A Page 16 Rev A, April 2018


Safety Instructions (SI) Safety Instructions:

nents must be replaced. Burnt-in dust particles will also burn the end face of another,
clean connector. The cleaning is especially important while replacing cards.
If the faces of the optical connectors are dirty, it may cause attenuation and reflections
which severely impair transmission quality. With power higher than 10 dBm, the parti-
cles may burn and destroy the optical fiber and thus the entire connector. To minimize
this risk, the following rules must be strictly adhered to:
ವ Always fit unused optical fiber connectors with protective caps to guard against
mechanical damage and contamination. The protective dust caps should only be
removed immediately prior to installation.

f WARNING! In order to avoid eye injury, before cleaning a connector, make sure that the
patch cord is not connected to a card port.

If incorrect (non-approved) optical instruments are used, there is a risk of damage to


eyes and of personal injuries. Use only approved filtered or attenuation viewing aids.

Fiber Connections
NE software settings include “Fiber Connections”, which designate the intended
physical fiber connections between cards. Among other uses, these port connection
listings are used by system software to verify that fibers are connected to the proper
ports in order to meet laser safety requirements.
Ensure that all Fiber Connections are configured.
ವ for fiber connections between BAUOFP2 and PAULROFP2 card modules.
Failure to designate all port connections for these cards means that software cannot
verify proper fiber connections, which results in a potential laser safety hazard. There-
fore, always set all Fiber Connections as directed in the User Guide (UG).

Connecting optical amplifiers to the system


The following instructions must be followed when connecting amplifiers to the optical
network systems:
ವ The EDFA input port should be connected only if the fiber system following the
EDFA output port is closed.
ವ The fiber system following the EDFA output port must be opened only if the EDFA
input port is disconnected.

f WARNING! A cabling mistake during the optical fiber connection to or from an amplifier
card can result in light being emitted from an open port at hazardous power levels, thus
resulting in bodily injury.

OMD48 and OMD96 multiplexer card connections


During the removal of OMD48 and OMD96 multiplexer cards make sure that you remove
the input connections from the transponders before the output multiplex connection.
During card installation the connections should be made in the reverse order.

f WARNING! A cabling mistake during the optical fiber connection to an OMD48 and
OMD96 cards can result in light being emitted from an open port at hazardous power
levels, thus resulting in body injury.

GDM-G30FP030-09-0A Page 17 Rev A, April 2018


Safety Instructions (SI) Safety Instructions:

OMD48 and OMD96 card replacement


Observe the following rule when disconnecting optical fibers from OMD48/OMD96
cards.
Disable the pump lasers on the preamplifier card connected to the filter card in the
DWDM IN port:
 Disable preamplifier, e.g., PAULROFP2.
 Disconnect the add fiber channels.
After these steps, you can safely remove the remaining fiber connections.

f WARNING! Faulty cabling of optical fiber to a OMD48/OMD96 cards can result in light
being emitted from an open port at hazardous power levels, thus resulting in bodily
injury.

f WARNING! PAULROFP2 mid-stage output port MSA OUT emits high optical power
also when opened. The emitted output power can be as high as 21.3 dBm (class 1M
power limit). Do not feed more than 16 dBm power to the PAULROFP2 input port in
order to avoid such high power at the MSA OUT port.

f WARNING! PAULROFP2 output port line OUT emits high optical power also when
open. The emitted output power can be as high as 21.3 dBm (class 1M power limit).

f WARNING! BAUOFP2 optical Line port when open emits optical restart pulses with
power level up to 120.2 mW, duration 120 ms and repetition rate 14.5 s.

user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Electrical fuses/circuit breakers


For shelves mounted in racks, the fuses/circuit breakers are located in a fuse
panel/breaker panel in the rack or in an equivalent device. The maximum electrical
current value for the fuses/circuit breakers used for each rack mountable unit is given in
the User Guide (UG).

f WARNING! Every Groove™ G30 shelf must be equipped with two AC power supply
units or two DC power supply units. It is not permitted to operate an Groove™ G30 shelf
with only one power supply unit. Also, it is not permitted to mix AC and DC power supply
units in the same Groove™ G30 shelf.

f WARNING! It is not permitted to operate a DC power Supply or a AC power supply


outside an shelf. These power supplies must always be operated only when installed in
an Groove™ G30 shelf.

Protection against high contact voltages


When handling the power supply or working on it, observe the safety measures
described in the standards EN 50110-1 and EN 50110-2 (operation of electrical sys-
tems).

Protection against over-voltage on the 48 V/60 V Power supply input


A protection against excessive voltage is built in on the 48 V/60 V power supply input.

Earthing or grounding and potential balancing


When running a combination of different types of communications equipment, it is
important to establish proper grounding and potential balancing between them.
After mounting the systems into the rack, and before attaching the connecting cables
and commissioning, ground connections and potential balancing connections in accor-
dance with EN 50310 and European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) 300253 must
be checked.
The grounding must be effective whenever external cables are connected to the equip-
ment.
If a shelf is not installed in a rack, ensure proper grounding according to ETS 300253.

Handling cards containing electrostatically sensitive components


Cards displaying the Electrostatically Sensitive Device (ESD) symbol are fitted with
electrostatically sensitive components. They should be handled according to the safety
measures.

Figure 5 ESD symbol


To prevent damaging the equipment, observe the following rules:
 A grounded wrist strap must be worn while handling the equipment. The grounding
wrist strap must be connected to the EBP (Earthing Bonding Point) port.
 A grounded wrist strap must always be worn when packing, unpacking, touching,
pulling, or inserting cards displaying the ESD symbol (see Figure 5). The grounded
wrist strap must be connected to the EBP port. This will ensure that the cards are
not damaged.
 Every pluggable module has a metal enclosure or cover, which is connected to the
ground terminal of the card.
 Avoid touching any device terminals, contacts of the connector strip or printed con-
ductors even if you are properly grounded.
 When pulling and inserting cards, use the integral plug and pull aids (plastic or metal
levers).
 The European Standards EN 100015-1 to 4 contain instructions on how to handle
electrostatically sensitive devices properly.
 If the card is only held by its plug and pull aids, it may not be transported in a hori-
zontal position (danger of breakage).
 Cards outside the shelf must be placed on an anti-static mat connected to the
common grounding point in the rack.
 Make sure that all test equipment is grounded. If non-grounded test equipment is
used, briefly ground (discharge) the test probe before taking measurements on com-
ponents and cards.

Alarm An alarm is a management mechanism intended to inform the user that there is a
standing fault condition in the system.

Alarm log An alarm log provides a list of the alarms associated with a managed object, and
provides the following information about each of the alarms:
ವ the identification of the affected object
ವ the identification of the failed NE or the NE in which the failed unit resides
ವ the alarm severity
ವ the time the event occurred
ವ the indication whether the alarmed event is service affecting or not
ವ the location and the affected traffic

Alarm severity Each failure is assigned a severity. The following values are used:
ವ critical
ವ major
ವ minor
ವ not alarmed
ವ not reported
Element Manager (EM) can configure the severity which is assigned to each fault cause
by an alarm severity assignment profile. In addition, EM can specify that a fault cause
shall not be alarmed. These fault causes will be blocked, hence do not lead to any LED
alarm indications, log entries or alarm reporting.

Card A card is a plug-in unit that occupies one (or multiple) shelf slots. In G30 there are five
types of cards CHM1/CHM1G, CHM2, XTM2, OMD96/48, and OCC2. These cards
perform specific electrical and/or optical functions within an NE.
Each card has a faceplate with information LEDs and, in most cases, several ports for
interconnection of optical fibers and/or optical interfaces (for example, CFP).

Sub-card A sub-card is a plug-in unit of a card. In G30 there are three types of sub-card, amplifier
OFP2 pluggable modules, protection sub-card O2OPS, DWDM filters OMD8 OFP2
pluggable modules.
Carrier card, e.g. OCC2, has specific LED indicating equipment status for each sub-
card.

Card faceplate All cards are equipped with individual faceplates in order to meet EMI requirements, and
ensure heat dissipation. The card faceplate contains LEDs, and in some cases optical
or electrical interfaces.

Card LEDs Card Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are luminous signals that can alert the user to:
ವ The state of the power supply.
ವ A card problem that requires card replacement.
ವ The existence of communication or equipment alarms.
ವ The presence or absence of traffic in the card.

Card slot A card slot is the insertion facility for a card in a shelf. Each card slot is designed for one
or several particular card types.

C Form-factor Plug- A CFP module is a swappable component mounted at the faceplate of the cards. It acts
gable (CFP) as a boundary interface between the client signal and the DWDM line signal by perform-
ing the bidirectional optical/electrical traffic conversion.

Client interface A client interface is a transponder interface that faces the client side of the link. Contrast
with “line interface” which faces the transmission (line) side of the link.

Ethernet Ethernet is a family of frame-based computer networking technologies for LANs. It


defines a number of wiring and signaling standards for the physical layer, through
means of network access at the MAC/Data Link Layer, and a common addressing
format.

Fan unit Each shelf is equipped 5 fan units that provide cooling airflow for the cards.

Fault management Fault management reports all hardware and software malfunctions within an NE, and
monitors the integrity of all incoming and outgoing digital signals.

Forward Error Cor- FEC is a technique that optimizes signal performance by providing a better Optical
rection (FEC) Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR) tolerance at the transponders, that is, FEC enables the
system to withstand more signal noise.
FEC is a coding algorithm that enables bit error detection and correction. FEC is a "for-
ward" scheme, that is, the receiver receives only the information needed to detect and
correct bit errors and never requests a re-transmission.

Laser safety Laser safety rules are a group of mechanisms and actions necessary to protect all users
from harmful laser light emissions.

Line interface A line interface is a transponder interface that faces the line side of the link. Contrast
with “client interface” which faces the client equipment side of the link.

Network Element An NE is a self-contained logical unit within the network. The NE can be uniquely
(NE) addressed and individually managed via software.
Each NE consists of hardware and software components to perform given electrical and
optical functions within the network.

Optical Signal to OSNR is the ratio of an optical signal power to the noise power in the signal.
Noise Ratio (OSNR)

Performance man- Performance monitoring and signal quality analysis provide information for detecting
agement and alerting, a cause that could lead to a degraded performance before a failure is
declared.

Pluggable Module A pluggable module is a swappable component mounted at the front panel of the cards.
In G30 a pluggable module can be either a CFP or QSFP module.
