5 – Operation and maintenance – Network supervision The network operator receives the alarms sent by the network equipment. With the aid of the the 9900LT software applications, the operator can view and analyse the alarms and trigger the appropriate corrective operations (see procedures below).
Page 56: Changing The Nt Unit
– Changing the NT unit Stages 1. Turn off NT unit power. Disconnect from power source. 2. Disconnect all cables connected to the NT unit to be changed. 3. Change NT unit after checking that the characteristics coincide (number of inputs, impedance, etc.). 4.
Page 57: Changes Of Configuration
6 – Changes of configuration The changes to the transmission network may require changes to the equipment configurations in order to meet new requirements. The A9900 equipment is likely to satisfy these changes either by modifying just the equipment software configuration or by physically modifying the equipment and its configuration. These changes may involve either changes of configuration using the 9900LT software only, or changes of configuration with physical intervention on the equipment.
