Install and verify the operation of the local system without linking
to the Remote IPE site(s). Refer to Communication Server 1000M
and Meridian 1 Large System Installation and Commissioning
(NN43011-310) () .
Install the Remote IPE column at the remote site, if not already
installed. Also refer to Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1
Large System Installation and Commissioning (NN43011-310) () .
Route and splice the fiber-optic cable between the local site and
Remote IPE site(s).
Remove items that generate static charge from the installation site.
Use antistatic spray if the site is carpeted.
Observe grounding precautions before handling any equipment.
Remove equipment carefully from its packaging.
