Install ethernet PTMs

This section contains the instructions to install Ethernet PTMs in the VLNC50. VLNC52,

VLNC60, VLNC61, VLNC64,VLNC40, VLNC42, and VLNC35 circuit packs. All of the

circuit packs for the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 support one or more Ethernet PTMs. The

VLNC40/VLNC42 can accept up to four PTMs supporting FE/GbE Ethernet connections,

depending upon the PTM installed. The VLNC50/52 circuit pack can accept one GbE

PTM. The VLNC60, VLNC61, the VLNC64 circuit packs can accept two FE/GbE PTMs

and the VLNC35 can accept two optical FE PTMs. When authorized Alcatel-Lucent

PTMs are installed, they are automatically detected.

Refer to the engineering job specification. Identify the proper circuit pack type (VLNC50,

VLNC52, VLNC60, VLNC61, VLNC64, VLNC40, VLNC42 or VLNC35) and the port

socket being equipped with the pluggable transmission module (PTM). Verify the PTM

for the VLNC50/VLNC52 Ethernet rate (GbE) matches the rate of the PTM. Verify the

PTM for the VLNC60, VLNC61 and VLNC64 Ethernet rate (FE/GbE) matches the rate of

the PTM. See

Note:

optical ports to maintain cleanliness during storage and/or transportation. It is

recommended that the dust plug be kept in place to maintain cleanliness until the

optical fiber is connected. With proper care and handling, cleaning the pluggable

optics modules should not be necessary.

Check the ports for cleanliness and clean the pluggable optics module if necessary. See

Appendix B, "Fiber

Note:

used on the receive (RX) port. The receive port contains a lens for focusing a wide

input. The lens is more easily scratched than cleaned.

Insert the pluggable ethernet modules in the required socket of the circuit pack faceplates,

then wiggle the optics module to verify that it is locked in the socket. See

"PTM

Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 if more ethernet modules need to be installed.
