more of the maximum listed value, it is recommended to consult ECI Customer Support.
One RAP at the top of the rack to connect external power and alarm monitoring lines (RAP-4B only) to
the NPT-1030 platforms in the rack. The RAP fully supports up to four platforms with dual power
feeding. In addition to the space needed for RAP installation, you must leave at least 50 mm of free
space under the RAP for cable routing.
One FST for each NPT-1030 with optical modules. Each FST contains two storage reels, enabling the
fiber to be stored on the right or left side of the tray. Leave at least 50 mm of free space between the
NPT-1030 platform and its FST, and another 50 mm free between the FST and the next NPT-1030
platform.
xDDF-21. When unbalanced E1 interfaces are needed, the xDDF-21 must be installed with the
NPT-1030. Each xDDF-21 can support 21 channels of E1. The xDDF-21 can be installed anywhere on
the same rack as the NPT-1030 platform or on another rack.
ICP_MCP30. When an RS-232 or V.11 interface from the MCP30 is used, the ICP_MPC30 must be
installed to distribute the concentrated Auxiliary connector into dedicated connectors for each
function. The ICP_MCP30 can be installed anywhere on the same rack as the NPT-1030 platform.

NPT-1030 platforms contain power sources of varying voltages. Note the following guidelines when
installing the platforms:
13
Fibers are required when DMGE_1_L1 is working in SFP mode. Multimode fiber for 1000BaseSX, and single mode fiber for 1000BaseLX/ZX.
14
Fibers are required when DMGE_4_L1/DMGE_2_L2 interfaces are working in 1000BaseFX mode. The fiber type must be multimode.
Do not install or maintain equipment connected to external lines (for example, E1 tributaries) during
thunderstorms.
Avoid contact with high-voltage sources when installing platforms, cards, and modules.
Make sure you are familiar with the warning signals and labels on the equipment and strictly observe
the procedures needed to avoid the indicated hazards.
NOTE: If necessary, the gauge of the grounding lead can also be reduced to the gauge of the
RAP power leads.
The rack mounting rails must be free of paint and provide electrical continuity to the main grounding bolt.
The resistance between any rail and the rack main grounding bolt must be less than 0.1 Ω.
Pay particular attention to the area in which the RAP is attached. Remove paint from the rack in this area to
ensure efficient electrical contact.
CAUTION: Connect the RAP grounding bolt to the rack grounding bolt with a grounding cable
complying with UL/ETSI recommendations. The cable must include bolt terminals on both
ends and be securely fastened with a nut and a star washer.

LASER WARNING: When the NPT-1030 operates in conjunction with OM_BA or OM_ILA
optical amplifiers (installed in the EXT-2U) the NPT-1030's Laser classifications changes to
Hazard Class 1M Laser Product.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of exposure to hazardous radiation, note the following:
When performing maintenance and other activities on equipment using lasers, it is
recommended that you use protection goggles for the wavelength range of 1300 nm to
1600 nm.
Only authorized personnel must carry out hot insertion or swapping of an optical module
or optical interface module.
To prevent irremediable damage to your eyes, avoid looking into the fiber when
hot-removing and/or inserting a fiber termination.
Place plastic covers on module fiber ports and fiber terminations that are not currently in
use.
Do not operate controls, make adjustments, or perform procedures associated with the
laser device other than those specified herein.
It is strictly forbidden to interfere with any protective devices and interlocks that are used to
prevent direct exposure to the laser beam.

The information provided in this section is in line with CENELEC Electronic Components Committee (CECC)
specification CECC 00 015, which deals with protection of devices sensitive to ESD.
Most types of electronic equipment, assemblies, and components can be damaged by electrostatic
discharges. An ESD between two objects occurs when an object carrying static electrical charges touches or
is brought near another object.
Static electrical charges appear as a result of friction between surfaces of insulating materials or separation
of two such surfaces, and may also be induced by electrical fields. Routine activities such as walking across
an insulating floor, friction between garment parts, friction between objects, and so on, can easily build up
charges to levels that may cause damage, especially when humidity is low.
In many cases, the build-up of charge can be avoided by using special materials, for example, garments and
packaging of antistatic materials or materials that have high resistance, but yet are not insulators.
The best way to avoid damage by ESD is a combination of means and procedures that achieves the
following goals:
Avoids build-up of electrostatic charges
Creates a protected work environment that helps prevent ESD
Provides means for controlled discharge of any accumulated electrostatic charges when entering the
protected work environment
NOTE: An area in which ESDS can be handled with minimum risk of damage as a result of ESD
or fields, and in which the operator is not exposed to additional risks, is called an ESD
Protected Area (EPA).
CAUTION: The temporary EPA must be constructed in a way that ensures electrical bonding of
all the materials used, and prevents the occurrence of any sudden changes in potential within
the EPA that could cause unacceptable voltages or discharges to be applied to ESDS.
The operator and any work surface and flooring must be bonded to ground equipotentially. For this
purpose, the work surface and wrist straps must be bonded either to a designated ground bonding point or
to the equipment being serviced.
Whenever available, the mains’ ground serves as the ESD grounding facility.
WARNING: While the operator is within the temporary EPA, the minimum value of resistance
used for bonding to ground must limit the current to ground, produced by voltages accessible
to the operator, to limits specified as safe by the applicable regulations (see, for example,
CECC 00 015). The same approach is applicable to the surface resistance and resistance to
ground of materials used for temporary work surfaces and flooring.
To enable ESD bonding to ground of equipment racks and any other nonmoveable equipment containing
ESD, an ESD ground-bonding facility must be located near such equipment, or the equipment must be fitted
with a designated ground-bonding point presenting a resistance to ground not greater than 1 MΩ.
Adequate record-keeping
Monitoring output for defects, with appropriate and corrective action where necessary
Regular review of individual processes and the complete quality system as a whole
Facilitating continual improvement
ISO 14000 is the international specification for an Environmental Management System (EMS). It specifies

4.1 Overview
This chapter provides general instructions for installing the NPT-1030 and auxiliary equipment.
The procedures for equipment replacement and upgrades are similar to those for installation, and when
relevant, notes regarding live replacement or upgrade are inserted in these procedures.
Use the information in this chapter in conjunction with specific site installation plans in a particular
customer network. If you are interested in obtaining design or installation assistance from ECI’s Customer
Support team or wish to prepare a network installation plan, contact your ECI sales representative.
The NPT-1030 platforms, cards, modules, and ancillary equipment are described in the NPT Product Line
Reference Manual.
NOTE: If you are not installing an FST for a particular NPT-1030 platform, it is recommended
that you leave empty space in the rack in case optical modules are added in the future. If you
are not installing an EXT-2U for a particular NPT-1030 platform, it is highly recommended that
you leave enough empty space (about 5 U) above the NPT-1030 platform in case one is added
in the future.
CAUTION:
If additional equipment is used in the rack, a heat buffer or a buffer plate must be
installed between such equipment and the NPT-1030 platform to minimize the transfer of
heat from platform to platform. This heat buffer must be purchased from ECI.
During the installation of equipment in the rack, make sure all the optical connectors are
closed by protective caps. Do not remove the cap until an optical fiber is connected to the

use an adjustable-torque flatblade screwdriver (maximum blade size 0.6). Set the tightening torque to
40 N cm to 44 N cm.
CAUTION: Do not exert excessive tightening torque to secure the cable connector, as this may
damage the ICP_MCP30.
5.1 Overview
In addition to the regular installation of the NPT-1030 in different racks, ECI offers two options for
wall-mounted installations:
Wall-mounted cabinet
Wall-mounted frame
These options are ideal for installations in small businesses or home offices (SOHO).
The following sections provide detailed procedures for these installations.
The tools illustrated in the following figure are required for the installation (not supplied with the cabinet).

6.1 Overview
After a new network has been installed and configured, commissioning tests are performed to confirm that
the installation is successful and that the network is operating in accordance with the design specifications.
NOTE: For SDH tests configure the test equipment according to the interface type being
tested.
2 Check the NPT-1030/EXT-2U installation; make sure that the rail stiffeners
are properly installed.
3 Check the ODF and FST installation and fiber connection (if applicable).
4 Check the DDF installation and relevant cable connections (if applicable).
7 Check the DC power cable connections (main fuse to RAP, RAP fuse to
NPT-1030/EXT-2U platform).
10 Check the connection of relevant cables or fibers for all cards installed.
11 Provide DC supply voltage via the INF_B1U or INF_E2U on slot PSA to the RAP
(-40 V to -75 V).
12 Provide DC supply voltage via the INF_B1U or INF_E2U on slot PSB to the RAP
(-40 V to -75 V).
15 Check the communication between the NPT-1030 platform and the LCT-APT
via the MNG Ethernet interface on the MCP30.
17 Check LED operation using the LED TEST option in the LCT-APT.
4. Power on the NE and wait for it to perform the initial download to all cards/modules in the platform.
This can take five minutes.
5. Verify that the NE is connected to the management station and that there are no relevant alarms in
the test equipment or at the management station.
NOTE:
Measured latency is for both the forward and return paths. For a single path, the latency is
50% of the measured value.
The latency test is dependent on the throughput results. For example, if 10 Mbps is tested
and the throughput is 4%, the latency test should be for 4 Mbps (2 * VC-12 = 4 Mbps).
Inject traffic according to the assigned bandwidth (VC-12 = 2.048 Mbps).

7.1 Overview
This chapter provides maintenance procedures for NPT-1030 equipment.
Personnel involved in maintenance must be thoroughly familiar with safety issues, as described in Before
You Start.
1 Visually inspect the condition of cables and fibers. Check for correct X
routing (no sharp bends) and proper support to avoid stress. Avoid
touching fibers during the inspection, except as required to correct
problems.
3 Check the condition of rack front doors and RFI fingers. Clean as X
necessary with approved cleaning agents.
6 Check that cards and modules are securely attached. All module X
fastening screws must be tight (tighten only manually).
7 Check for proper operation of the fans (no abnormal noise and X
vibrations) in all NEs.
8 Clean all areas around the platform in the rack and the rack’s front door X
(if applicable), using a vacuum cleaner.
9 Check that the cables connecting the DC power sources (main and X
backup) to the RAP are properly connected.
10 X
Check that the external alarm cables are properly connected to the
RAP.
12 Check that all RAP LEDs turn on and that the buzzer sounds while the X
POWER ON pushbutton on the RAP panel is pressed.
13 X
Check that all card and module LEDs turn on when performing the LED
TEST operation using the LCT-APT.
Note: LEDs for FE interfaces and LEDs for Laser On indications are not
checked by the LED test operation.
15 Check the proper operation of the OW system (if applicable to the NE).
NOTE: For a description of indicator functions, see the NPT Product Line Reference Manual.

For normal operation, after system power-on or card insertion, the LEDs on the Tslot and XIO card panels
are:
ACT: On
FAIL: Off
When MCP30B software is running normally, after three to five minutes, the ACT LED starts to blink
periodically and the FAIL LED is permanently off when no failure is detected.
When the MCP30B is operating normally, the ACT LED blinks periodically and the FAIL LED is permanently
off.
Table 7-6: General troubleshooting procedures on Tslot and XIO module panels
Table 7-7: General troubleshooting procedures for the INF_B1U/INF_30BH and INF_E2U
The following table relates to the following cards/modules: XIO30Q_1&4, XIO30_4, XIO30_16, SMD1B,
SMQ1&4, SMS4, and SMD4.
NOTE: An optical port with ALS capability turns off its transmitter when the corresponding
receive signal is lost. Turning the transmitter off may cause a chain reaction which turns the
optical signals off in a whole section of the network and generates a large number of alarms.
As a result, it may be difficult to identify the real cause of the problem and you may need to
use the management station log records to identify the port.
Each FE port has two LEDs that reside on the RJ-45 connector. One is a link indication (green) and the other
a speed indication (orange).

Table 7-11: General troubleshooting procedures for extended cards (PE1_63, P345_3, SM_10E, S1_4, and
S4_1)
CAUTION: Replacing the MCP30B card does not affect traffic on other Tslot cards. However,
T3/T4 synchronization signals, the E1-based DCC clear channel, and OW traffic are unavailable
for the duration of the replacement.
CAUTION: Because of XIO30 card redundancy, all the traffic on the main XIO30 can be
protected by the standby XIO30 when replacing the main card. To avoid breaks in traffic, the
XIO30 cards must be replaced one by one. It is important that the standby XIO30 card be
running before replacing the main XIO30 card.
NOTE: All Eslot cards support live insertion. There is no need to power-off the NPT-1030 or
the EXT-2U units when replacing them.
NOTE: All traffic modules on the SM_10E/EM_10E support live insertion. There is no need to
extract the SM_10E/EM_10E card when replacing a module.
8. Close the screws on the panel to fasten the module to the SM_10E/EM_10E card.
9. Reconnect all cables for the traffic module according to the cable marks.
CAUTION:
If using a DC power supply, each NPT-1030/EXT-2U platform has two power modules.
Replacing the power module therefore does not cause the NE to power off.
Replace INF_B1U modules one at a time so that the system is not powered off.
CAUTION:
Each NPT-1030/EXT-2U platform has one FCU module.
Replace the FCU module as soon as needed, as the temperature inside the
NPT-1030/EXT-2U continues to rise without the fan unit. The high temperature can cause
hardware damage.
8.1 Overview
This chapter provides connection data for the user connectors located in the NPT-1030/EXT-2U platforms
and associated ancillary equipment supplied by ECI.
Any connectors not described in this appendix are reserved for use by ECI technical support personnel
and/or future expansion, and therefore no user equipment may be connected to them.
The Ethernet connector is wired as a station port intended for direct connection through a straight cable to
a port of a 10BaseT Ethernet hub.
The following figure identifies the connector pins, as seen when looking into the connector. The table lists
the pin assignment for a typical connector.

The tributary numbers appearing in the table are given for the 1-21 connector. To obtain the correct
tributary numbers for other connectors, interpret the numbers as representing the number of the tributary
in its group (for example, in connector 22-42, 7 represents E1 tributary 28).
Figure 8-14: Typical E1 connector for PE1_63, pin identification
The following sections contain tables that describe the pin assignment of the connector for each type of
traffic module. These tables include the color of the wire connected to the corresponding pin in the cables
offered by ECI for connecting the SM_10E/EM_10E traffic module connector and a distribution frame.
The SM_EOP has two RJ-45 connectors for connecting to its interfaces and the SM_C37.94 has two pairs of
ST fiber optic connectors for connecting to its interfaces.
NOTE: Only 8 of 18 pairs of wires are used for the SM_FXO_8E or SM_FXS_8E interfaces.
NOTE: The number of wires used depends on the mode of each channel. All 18 pairs of wires
are used for the SM_EM_24W6E module if all channels are in four-wire E&M mode.
