Cable management hardware for the Passport 15000 or 20000 and frame
assembly consists of hardware subassemblies for protecting, routing,
securing cables (copper, fiber, and system interconnect cables), and managing
cable slack.
See "Cables and cable management" (page 315) for detailed information
about Passport 15000 or 20000 cables and cable management.
Peripheral equipment is any non-Passport equipment that can be connected to
a Passport 15000 or 20000 to provide additional functionality, service,
capability, or performance. Nortel Networks supports specific peripheral
equipment to interwork with a Passport 15000 or 20000. The peripheral
equipment includes:
• an EdgeLink mux by Telco Systems
• an external hardware alarm (for example, an end-of-aisle lamp)
• an MFA150 system of ac rectifiers by Astec Advanced power Systems
• a multiport aggregate device by Nortel Networks
• a Shasta 5000 switch by Nortel Networks
Information about the installation or operation of the equipment is included
in the Passport 15000 or 20000 suite of hardware documents. Where the
information appears depends on what tasks are involved in getting the
equipment installed, cabled, and tested. Refer to the table of contents to locate
your task.
Each operating unit of hardware for a Passport 15000 or 20000 has status
LEDs to indicate what it is doing.The patterns of LED behavior per unit of
hardware are described in "Using status indicator LEDs and sounds"
(page 343).
Sounds are provided through optional external alarms to customer premises
equipment (CPE). Connecting external alarms is described in 241-1501-240
