Procedure 4
Reconfiguring existing cabinets to accommodate an additional
expansion cabinet
Under certain circumstances it is necessary to rearrange cabinet connections
and/or configurations. Two scenarios are described.
Scenario 1: Adding a third expansion cabinet
If the existing main cabinet is equipped with two single daughterboards, and
the two expansion cabinets are located within 10 m (33 ft), adding another
expansion cabinet within 3 km requires the following steps:
1 Replace the top daughterboard with a dual-port expansion
daughterboard.
2 If the third cabinet is within 10 m, add the cabinet to port 3. Configure the
cards required for expansion cabinet 3.
3 If the third cabinet is further than 10 m, connect the two short-haul
cabinets to the dual-port daughterboards in ports 1 and 3.
4 Replace the lower 10 m expansion daughterboard in the main cabinet
with a 3 km expansion daughterboard.
5 Add the third (long-haul) cabinet to the single-port 3 km expansion
daughterboard in port 2.
6 Reassign in software all services provided on cards 21 to 30, to cards 31
to 40.
