Page 48: Laser Product Classification
Safety Laser product classification ..............................................Standards compliance The 1643 AM and 1643 AMS product complies with the applicable IEC standards and the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (FDA/CDRH) regulations. FDA/CDRH regulations Laser products are classified in accordance with the FDA/CDRH - 21 CFR 1010 and 1040.
Page 49 IV apply to lasers of all wavelengths. Classes IIa, II, and IIIa apply only to those lasers operating within the visible wavelength range (400-700 nm). Alcatel-Lucent laser products typically operate in the infrared wavelength range (greater than 700 nm) and, therefore, are primarily in the Class I or Class IIIb classifications.

Such a mechanism has been designed. It is an Alcatel-Lucent proprietary mechanism called “Tunnel Auto Provisioning” (TAP). TAP principle The principle behind TAP is that IP routes known by DSwT nodes at the edge of the OSI network are advertised across the OSI network to the other DSwT nodes which can then insert these routes into their own Routing Tables.
