free from common plastics and that you are properly grounded with an antistatic
wrist strap, to prevent component damage from electrostatic discharge. For more
information, see "Preventing static discharge damage" on page 2-2.
Required tools and equipment
To install and configure the Stinger MRT hardware, you need the following tools and
equipment:
Console terminal connection to the serial (CONSOLE) port to configure the unit
ASCII or VT100 console terminal (Internal Lucent number: ITE-6938) or
equivalent with the following setup:
–
–
–
–
–
–
RS-232 straight-through modem cable for connecting the console terminal or
equivalent to the unit (Internal Lucent number for 15 foot DB9M to DB9F
straight-through cable: ITE-6801)
Antistatic wrist strap (Internal Lucent order number: R-4987C)
Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
1/8-inch and 3/16-inch standard screwdrivers
(Optional) Ethernet LAN connection for connecting the unit to the Ethernet
(Internal Lucent number for a 7-foot cable: ITE-7131, and for a 12-foot cable:
ITE-7180)
A CLETOP fiber cleaning tool, if an OC3 trunk module is being installed
Preventing static discharge damage
Modules and semiconductor devices in general can be easily and permanently
damaged due to electrostatic discharge during installation or removal. A person
walking across a floor can generate electrostatic voltages in excess of 5000V.
Although you might not notice a discharge of less than 3500V, discharges below 100V
can damage semiconductor components.
You can destroy a component without noticing any electrostatic discharge. Because
these discharges have very little current, they are harmless to people.
To prevent damage to components from electrostatic discharge, always follow the
proper guidelines for equipment handling and storage.
Use a wrist strap
To reduce the static potential on your body by proper grounding, wear an approved
antistatic wrist strap (Figure 2-1) when installing, removing, or handling modules, or
while handling any Lucent device containing semiconductor components.
