European EN 55 022 statement This is to certify that the Nortel Networks optical routing system is shielded against the generation of radio interference in accordance with the application of Council Directive 89/336/EEC, Article 4a. Conformity is declared by the application of EN 55 022 Class A (CISPR 22).
Procedure job aid: SFP models without DDI support SFPs are hot-swappable input/output enhancement components designed for use with Nortel products to allow Gigabit Ethernet ports to link with other Gigabit Ethernet ports over various media types. The SFPs described in this section do not have Digital Diagnostic Interface capability, and are RoHS -E5 compliant.
SFP are supported. Access to the DDI information will be provided in a future release. The SFPs described in this section are all RoHS -E6 compliant. The following table lists and describes the Nortel SFP models with DDI capability. All the optical SFPs use LC connectors. SFP models with DDI capability...
1000BASE-XD CWDM 1000BASE-ZX CWDM 1000BASE-BX For specifications for these SFPs, see Installing an SFP Install an SFP to provide an interface between the switch and the network cable. Installing an SFP takes about 3 minutes. Prerequisites • Verify that the SFP is the correct model for your network configuration.
Procedure job aid: GBIC models GBICs are hot-swappable input/output enhancement components designed for use with Nortel products to allow Gigabit Ethernet ports to link with other Gigabit Ethernet ports over various media types. The following table describes supported GBICs. For specifications for these GBICs, see specifications"...

Store the GBIC in a safe place until needed. If you discard the GBIC, be sure to dispose of it according to all national laws and regulations. When you contact a Nortel service representative for troubleshooting purposes, you must have the following information available: •...
Factor Pluggable (XFP) transceivers, and lists some technical specifications for the supported XFP models. Nortel recommends that you only use Nortel qualified XFPs. If you do choose to use other vendor XFPs, be aware that Nortel does not support the use of other XFPs. Navigation •...
Procedure job aid: XFP models XFPs are hot-swappable input/output enhancement components designed for use with Nortel products to allow 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to link with other 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) allows real-time access to device operating parameters. All XFPs come with DDM capability.
Model number 10GBASE-ER/EW 10GBASE-ZR/ZW Installing an XFP Install an XFP to provide a 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface between the switch and other network devices. Installing an XFP takes about 3 minutes. Prerequisites • Verify that the XFP is the correct model for your network configuration.
Optical multiplexers The Nortel optical routing system supports high-speed data communications in metropolitan area networks (MAN) by connecting Gigabit Ethernet ports with fiber optic networks, and by combining multiple wavelengths on a single fiber to expand available bandwidth. Use multiplexers in optical routing systems to multiplex, add, or drop wavelengths in optical networks.
Procedure job aid: optical add/drop multiplexers The Nortel passive CWDM Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (OADM) sends and receives signals to and from CWDM GBICs and SFPs installed in the switch. It adds or drops a specific wavelength from the optical fiber, and allows all other wavelengths to pass through unaffected.
Connect the network backbone west fiber optic cables to the west (right) OMUX. Procedure job aid: optical multiplexer/demultiplexer The Nortel passive optical multiplexer/demultiplexer (OMUX) sends and receives signals to/from GBIC and SFP transceivers installed in the switch. It multiplexes and demultiplexes four or eight CWDM wavelengths from a two-fiber (east and west) circuit.

fiber with no intermediate CWDM OADM or CWDM OMUX. To determine the expected signal loss for an optical add drop multiplexer (OADM), an optical multiplexer (OMUX), or fiber length, see Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Planning and Engineering — Network Design (NN46205-200).
• "1000BASE-EX CWDM GBIC specifications" (page 67) GBIC labels As shown in the following figure, the Nortel label on a typical GBIC contains a Nortel serial number, a bar code, a manufacturer’s code, an interface type, and a part number.
You must disable autonegotiation before operating the 1000BASE-T GBIC. By default, GBICs inserted into certain product-specific modules are set for Autonegotiation = True. If autonegotiation does not work initially, Nortel recommends that you reconfigure the switch to use a fixed-speed setting of 1000 Mbit/s, full-duplex, on both sides.
