Optical Transceiver Removal and Replacement

Your troubleshooting and diagnostics might reveal that the optical transceiver
component of an optical physical interface card needs to be replaced. The optical
transceiver serves two functions:
• Converts electrical signals into optical signals used to communicate with other
optical networking equipment.
• Serves as the receptacle for the LC duplex fiber optic connectors.
Optical transceivers are hot swappable and may be replaced while the Acme Packet
3900 is powered on.
To obtain a replacement optical transceiver, contact customer support.
Note:
To prevent damage to the optical lens, Acme Packet recommends that the
protective dust cover stay on the optical transceiver port when the physical
interface card is not cabled.
