Required tools:
Note: Contact your Nokia technical support representative for more information about the
optical transceivers available from Nokia.
Danger:
• Fiber-optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can injure your eyes. Never
look into an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume that fiber-optic cables are
connected to a light source.
• Pluggable optic modules are very hot while in use. Touch only the handle on the bail
when removing the module. Allow the module to cool before further handling.
Warning:
• When installing an optical transceiver, you must make sure that the transceiver is
oriented properly to avoid causing damage to the transceiver or the module.
• Make sure that the safety cap on the transceiver is inserted while you install or remove
the transceiver. Only remove the safety cap when you are ready to attach network
cables.
• When a transceiver is removed from a port, it must be replaced by a transceiver or a
dust cover.
• Use only approved fiber-optic devices in MDA-e-XP ports.
• Before using the optics, verify that the optical path is in compliance with the parameters
of the optical components. In particular, verify any minimum attenuation requirements
for the optics. If minimum attenuation requirements are not met, the optical receiver
components may be permanently damaged.
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if router components, including
transceivers, are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and
always connect an ESD strap to the grounding plug on the front of the chassis.
Caution:
Note:
Apply high standards when inspecting and cleaning fiber connectors. Use a “dry”
cleaning method to clean fiber connectors. To clean the connector, you can use one
of the following methods:
• wipe the side and end of the ferrule with a lint-free alcohol-dampened cloth
• blow dry the ferrule with compressed air and inspect for lint; do not insert the
compressed air nozzle into the receptacle
28133
• locking handle—a locking handle or lever on the front of the transceiver that you
gently raise or lower to insert or remove the transceiver from the port
• bail—a bar or latch in the front of the transceiver that you pull down and outward
to release the module
• tabs—tabs on the sides or bottom of the transceiver that you press inward to
release the module

4 Act Port activity • Green (solid): Port is active and receiving or transmitting data
status • Amber (solid): Indicates an error condition
• Unlit: No activity
Unlit No power
3 Lnk Port link Green (solid) All ports within the connector have a communication link
status established
Amber (slow blink) No optic is installed or the optic is not properly inserted
Blink Sequence. See At least one port not in loopback has a link down
section 5.9.2.1. condition
Note:
1. For the purposes of the Lnk LED, a port in loopback is treated the same as a port with an
established communication link.
Multi-port connectors support a blink sequence on the Lnk (link) LED to identify an
issue or fault condition for each port within a connector. The Lnk LED blink sequence
occurs only when a break-out optic is installed and only if there is an issue with a port
in that connector. The sequence can be initiated by an issue such as a condition in
which an optic is installed but no link is present.
1. The link LED is solid amber for 2.75 s, indicating that a fault condition exists on
one of the ports of a multi-port group and that the blink sequence identifying the
state of each break-out port is about to begin.
2. There follows a sequence of green or amber blinks, each with a duration of
0.75 s. The LED is unlit for 0.25 s between blinks. Each blink represents an
individual port in the multi-port group displayed in sequence beginning with port
1 and ending with the last port of the multi-port group: port 1 to port 4 for 4x10GE
multi-port connectors, and port 1 to port 10 for 10x10GE multi-port connectors.
The color of each blink indicates the port state: green meaning that the port is
active and has a communication link established or the port is disabled or shut
down, or amber meaning that there is no link present.
Figure 28 shows an example of the Lnk (link) LED sequence for a 10x10GE
multi-port connector when an issue or condition occurs on ports 3, 6, and 8.
2.75 s Port 1 Port 2 Port 3 Port 4 Port 5 Port 6 Port 7 Port 8 Port 9 Port 10
Legend:

3. After the last port blink, the LED is unlit for 0.25 s. The sequence repeats until
all issues and conditions for all ports are rectified.
When the issue or condition with the port or ports is rectified, the Lnk LED is lit solid
green unless another issue or condition is present. If an issue or condition is cleared
during the display of the sequence, the sequence completes for all ports, then the
Lnk LED turns solid green.
If the Lamp Test (LT) is initiated, the blink sequence is stopped and the LT test
behavior is presented. After the LT completes, the system software performs a new
evaluation of the status of the multi-port connector and the Lnk (link) LED displays
either solid green or another blink sequence.
If local troubleshooting does not clear the amber blinks, further investigation must be
conducted using the CLI. The CLI presents the condition for the problem ports as a
port disabled or shut down, optics installed but no link present, or no activity.
