fiber-optic link, and preparing the remote site cables, grounding, power
source, and the location of the Remote IPE column or cabinets.

Preparing the site

When preparing a site, consider environmental, structural, and electrical
factors. These factors must be considered for the entire system; that
is, local and Fiber Remote IPE sites. This information is available in
Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1 Large System Planning and
Engineering (NN43021-220) ().
To prepare the site for Fiber Remote IPE installation:
1.
Install and verify the operation of the local system without linking
to the Fiber Remote IPE site(s). Refer to Communication Server
1000M and Meridian 1 Large System Installation and Commissioning
(NN43021-310) ().
2.
Install the Fiber Remote IPE column. Also refer to Communication
Server 1000M and Meridian 1 Large System Installation and
