additional ports. Each IPE module requires a Peripheral Controller card at
the remote site and a corresponding one to four Superloop Network cards
at the local site.
In addition to line cards, the Remote IPE supports all the cards that do not
require external connection to local common or network equipment.
Remote IPE site planning
When selecting a site for the Remote IPE, consider the number of ports
currently required at the site and the possibility of expansion to meet
future needs. Also consider environmental, power, and cable routing
requirements.
Environmental requirements
The Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface conforms to the same environmental
requirements as the rest of the system equipment. Temperature, humidity,
and altitude for equipment operation should not exceed the specifications
shown in
Table 7 "Environmental requirements" (page 36)
storage environmental specifications. Ideally equipment should operate in
a stable environment at 22¡ C (72¡ F); however, the system is designed to
operate in the temperature and humidity ranges specified in the table.

Power requirements
Power for the Remote IPE modules is provided by the power converter
in each module.
The Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface requires -48 V DC at 0.6 Amps. An
AC/DC power converter is optionally shipped with each Fiber Remote
Multi-IPE Interface unit to provide the required power for the Fiber Remote
Multi-IPE Interface unit. This power converter is wall-mounted next to the
Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface unit.
