Adding one or more Carrier Remote IPE sites to a system is treated as
a straightforward system expansion; that is, the system should be fully
operational before the Carrier Remote IPE equipment is installed and
connected to the system. This simplifies installation and fault isolation
during installation.
Carrier Remote IPE is offered in two versions to provide flexibility in line
size and equipment location. These are:
•
Carrier Remote IPE column
•
Carrier Remote IPE cabinet
Note:
The Carrier Remote IPE column consists of a pedestal, an
IPE module that houses up to 16 IPE cards, and a top cap. The
Carrier Remote IPE cabinet can consist of only the main cabinet
when 10 or fewer IPE cards are required, or the main and the
expansion cabinets when up to 16 IPE cards are required.
