Give information to NOC support/Technical Lead as soon you reach site
Look for LED status and record the information on a notebook or take photo wherever possible
Look for designated FDMS port assigned for the connectivity
Validate the alarms and check if any alarm appeared during or after the activity
Immeidately report the NOC engineer
Fiber, Power and Data cable dressing should be done as per standard
Labelling should be in appropriate format at both ends of the cable
[Fiber Patch Cord, Power Cable, Data Cable]
Install ESD belt at every Equipment/Shelf
Delete all facilities on transponder created during nodal AT
Delete all assigned frequency from tranponder post nodal ATP before connecting to CCMD
Wear ESD belt while work on Equipment Rack.
• Handling Modules and during installation activity
• Handling patch cords at Equipment
Discard faulty patch chords & Attenuators
Place appropriate Attenuators combination to achieve required attenuation
Clean patch chords before connecting to the equipment port
Perform VFS on all card ports before installlation

VFS should be done with card JACK OUT condition

Always carry additional patch cords, attenuators and couplers
Place Dust Caps immediately taking card out of the box and during activity
Always save VFS, OSA and tester reports before disconnecting and keep the copy of at safe
drive/location
Carry appropriate login cable, it should be tested before leaving for site
Test the attenuators before putting loop on a active equipment/card

Perform LSPM before connectiving live connectivity

Always put attenuators MLA - MLA connectivity

Check for appropriate Site Manager installed on laptop

Call NOC engineer to check for alarms and take confirmation before leaving
While leaving for activity ensure - eMOP should be available and studied properly
While leaving for activity ensure - LLD document is studied properly [RFV, SFD, CP, DCN], updated OPB

Before starting the activity verify the Location address, Site Name, Site Id, Lat Long, IP address.

Before connecting or disconnecting a patch cable - verify the Node ID, Equipment location and card
type and card positioning

Before leaving the site debris are disposed off properly

While working on production network - Take customer NOC/Ciena NOC go ahead before starting the
