64 Equipment installation and configuration
Installing and verifying system operation
The Carrier Remote IPE facilities can be added to an existing system
running on carrier software (REM_IPE package 286) by installing the
appropriate carrier equipment into the system, installing one or more
Carrier Remote IPEs at different remote sites, and linking the local system
with remote sites using T1 or E1 links.
To install a new system, follow the instructions in Communication Server
1000M and Meridian 1 Large System Installation and Commissioning
(NN43021-310) (). It describes how to install a complete Large System.
If a new system is configured with Carrier Remote IPE facilities, the
system is normally assembled at the factory with the Local Carrier
Interface and the associated cards already installed and internal cables
connected between the Local Carrier Interface card faceplate and the I/O
panel assembly at the rear of the module housing this card.
After the system is installed, it is necessary to connect the T1 or E1 carrier
links to the local system and the Carrier Remote IPE I/O panel assembly
T1 or E1 connectors. However, if the Local Carrier Interface card is not
installed, follow the steps in the next section.
Installing the Local Carrier Interface card
Procedure 3 "Installing the Local Carrier Interface card" (page
64) describes how and where to install the Local Carrier Interface cards.
In a new system, the card is shipped installed in a network card slot
from the factory. However, it can be necessary to install additional Local
Carrier Interface cards to expand the number of remote sites or replace
a defective card. The card can be installed when the system is powered
up and running.
