Using A Connection To A Gigabit Ethernet Port On Nthw84; Assess Spare Parts Storage And Selection - Nortel Passport 15000 Preparation Manual

Chapter 2 Planning considerations 83
The choices of alarms from an Astec MFA150 power system of ac rectifiers
that can be connected to the Passport 15000 or 20000 are described in the
Astec document 167-9021-133 Advanced Power Systems MFA150 Modular
Front Access Power System Detailed Installation Guidelines and Procedures
Manual.
The recommended pin-to-pin connections of each alarm cable between the
MFA150 and the BIP are described in 241-1501-200 Passport 15000, 20000
Hardware Description.

Using a connection to a gigabit Ethernet port on NTHW84

When using the voice services processor 3 (VSP3) card with PEC NTHW84,
you can either use the virtual ports of the card or use the two gigabit Ethernet
ports on its faceplate. There is no cable connection to enable using the virtual
ports. Using the gigabit ports requires two cable connections from an Ethernet
source with 1000Base-SX transmission capability. A 1000Base-SX has a
short transmission wavelength of 770860 nm.
The Ethernet source must be an Internet Protocol (IP) local area network
(LAN), preferably through a router that is capable of bridging and has VRRP
(or an equivalent protocol).
The maximum distance between the router (or equivalent Ethernet source)
and the VSP3 faceplate depends on the diameter of the multimode fiber cable
core that you will use. With 50-micron cores, the maximum distance is 550 m
(1,804.55 ft.). With 62.5-micron cores, the distance is 275 m (902.28 ft.).
Card functionality and fiber cable specifications are identified in the cable
assembly section of the card description in 241-1501-200 Passport 15000,
20000 Hardware Description.

Assess spare parts storage and selection

Assess which spare parts of various equipment you plan to have available for
replacements. Having a spare maximizes your ability to maintain a
Passport 15000 or 20000. To have a spare available for the quickest use, you
must provide a means of storage for the items.
