24 Traverse Installation and Commissioning Guide, Section 2: Network Interface Specifications Optical GbE Port Protection Optical GbE Port Protection With an optical coupler/splitter cable, protection extends to the optical (GbE or 10GbE) ports on NGE, NGE Plus, GbE-10, 10GbE, or EoPDHcards in a 1:1 equipment protection group. Use the optical splitter/coupler to bridge the signal from both the working and protecting card (of like type) to provide 1:1 optical equipment protection for these GbE ports. There is one optical link from the customer premise equipment (CPE) to the coupler/splitter, connecting the CPE to the working card. The splitter sends a copy of the optical signal to both the working and protecting cards in the equipment protection group. The coupler receives a signal from both of the cards, combines them, and sends the composite signal effectively the signal from the working (active) card to the CPE. On the working card of the protection group, the optical transmitters are up (laser on), while on the protecting (standby) card, the optical transmitters are forced down (laser off). Upon an equipment protection switch, when the card transitions from working to protecting or vice versa, its optical ports are automatically brought down or up, as appropriate. When there is a protection switch from one card in an 1:1 equipment protection group to the other card, services on the optical ports restore as soon as those on the electrical Ethernet ports. Alarms may be raised briefly during the switch while the the optical transmitters are down until they are automatically brought back up. Optical port protection does not protect against fiber cuts.

This protection is available for systems commissioned as ADM or DCS-IO. Important: The Traverse system supports 1:2 equipment protection only for the above listed cards. In addition to the electrical equipment protection, the DS3/EC-1 Transmux card supports 1:N equipment protection for high-density optical transmux applications (STS1-TMX mode), where N=1 to 12 in a Traverse One card protects all remaining adjacent cards. This application has no ECM requirement. (SONET network only) For UTMX-24 and UTMX-48 cards, the Traverse also supports 1:4 equipment protection when all the facilities (both physical and logical) are configured in STS1-TMX mode. This protection is available for systems commissioned as DCS-IO. One card protects up to four associated working cards. This application has no ECM requirement.

Note: For specifications about 1:1 optical equipment protection, see Chapter 1 Fiber Optic Interface Cabling Specifications, Optical GbE Port Protection, page 2-8. Electrical protection is available for like cards and on both electrical Gigabit (GbE TX) and Fast Ethernet (10/100BaseTX) port interfaces. 1:1 electrical equipment protection for the NGE, NGE Plus, and EoPDH cards using the 2-slot Ethernet Protection ECM Unprotected electrical equipment scheme for the NGE, NGE Plus, and EoPDH cards using the 2-slot Ethernet Protection ECM Carrier Ethernet Protection (CEP) is available for the NGE Plus and EoPDH cards using the 2-slot Ethernet Protection ECM. CEP is a unique type of protection switching. A CEP Pair (CEPP) is a logical pairing of two NGE Plus or EoPDH cards operating as one Ethernet switch to aggregate the traffic from twice the number of physical ports (40 physical Ethernet ports) as that of a single card. While a CEPP can use all of the physical Ethernet ports of two cards, it uses the 64 EOS ports of the working card only for transport. NGE Plus or EoPDH cards in a CEPP protection group cannot simultaneously be in a 1:1 equipment protection group; these protection groups are mutually exclusive. NGE Plus or EoPDH cards not in a CEPP function exactly as an NGE card. Force10 recommends adjacent card configuration for the CEPP, although the cards can be non-adjacent. To create CEPP protection groups, see the Traverse Provisioning Guide, Section 3 Creating Protection Groups, Chapter 1 Overview of Protection Groups, page 3-2.

The Traverse system supports standard system critical, major, minor; visual and audible alarms. Access to system alarm contacts is provided via wire-wrap posts located on the Traverse 1600, Traverse 2000, and Traverse 600 main backplanes. Normally-open Contacts System alarms operate by default using the COM and NO contacts. When an alarm state occurs, the circuit between the COM and NO contacts is closed generating a visual or audible alarm. Alarm contacts are bridged between the active and standby GCMs. A single GCM is capable of generating and maintaining system alarms if the standby GCM is out of service. Fail-safe Alarm All system alarms are masked and a fail-safe alarm is generated if both GCMs go out-of-service. The fail-safe alarm is the only normally-closed alarm. The fail-safe alarm is generated when GCMs are installed and operational, and then go into an out-of-service state. The fail-safe alarm is also generated when both GCMs are physically removed from the Traverse shelf. 1 Normally-closed contacts are not currently supported. Release TR3.2.2 Force10 Networks Page 3-1

Backplane DCN Ethernet. The Traverse system provides a data communications network (DCN) to connect a Traverse node to the TransNav Management System and to other remote management devices. The DCN Ethernet interface is located on the Traverse main backplane. Only the active GCM has a physical connection to the DCN Ethernet RJ-45 connector. Ethernet signals are bridged to both the working and protect General Control Module (GCM) cards for communication to Traverse nodes. This enables the TransNav Management System to always talk to the working GCM, even after a protection switch. A network of Traverse nodes can be managed over the service provider s DCN as long as one Traverse node is directly connected to that network through the DCN Ethernet interface. This node is referred to as the Traverse Management Gateway Node (MGN). Traverse nodes that have no direct connection to a DCN can communicate with the TransNav system indirectly, through the Traverse Management Gateway node via the data communications channel (DCC) of an OC-12 or OC-48 card interface. The backplane DCN Ethernet interface also allows telnet access directly to any Traverse node in the network through the DCC. The DCN Ethernet interface is a data terminal equipment (DTE) interface type, supports both 10BaseT and 100BaseT, supports half- and full-duplex modes, and is compliant to IEEE signal definition for an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. Pinouts for the DCN Ethernet interface are provided in the following table. Note: Although this interface is set to auto-negotiate between 10/100BaseT and halfand full-duplex modes, Force10 recommends a 100BaseT with half-duplex configuration.

A fuse panel can distribute battery and battery return to up to four Traverse shelves and typically up to five pieces of auxiliary equipment in a rack. Fuse panels have two DC power inputs (Battery A and Battery B ). Each of these inputs is capable of supplying power to the Traverse system during central office maintenance operations. The recommended gauge wire for power cabling is #8 AWG (9mm 2 ) for Force10 s PDAP-4S or #12 AWG (3.3 mm 2 ) for Force10 s PDAP-15A. For Traverse power terminal locations, refer to any one of the Traverse rear view graphics in the Traverse Product Overview Guide, Section 2 Platform Descriptions. Important: Carefully plan your power supply capacity. The Force10 PDAP-4S with standard 40 amp fuses at -40 VDC provides 1600 watts. Force10 recommends using higher amperage fuses if your power requirements go above a minimum of 1400 watts. If you fail to make sufficient plans to meet the power requirements of your specific configuration, and the power draw goes above the maximum capacity of your power supply design, it can cause a circuit breaker to trip, resulting in a loss of traffic.

104 Traverse Installation and Commissioning Guide, Section 6: Precautions and Common Procedures Environmental Precautions Environmental Precautions Important: Traverse systems are designed to comply with GR-1089-CORE, GR-63-CORE, and CE Mark requirements. Install and operate the Traverse system in environments that do not expose wiring, cabling, or connectors to the outside plant. Acceptable applications include Central Office Environments (COEs), Electronic Equipment Enclosures (EEEs), Controlled Environment Vaults (CEVs), huts, and customer premises environment. The Traverse systems are classified as being powered by Class A1 voltages per GR-1089-CORE. The Traverse system design supports installation in locations with restricted access. Important: Always use caution while working in an environment with rotating or moving equipment parts (e.g., fan modules). Important: This symbol is on the product and means do not discard Force10 products into residential or commercial waste. Most countries or regions have established methods and procedures to collect and recycle electronic and electrical waste. Contact your local authorities for established procedures. If no local procedures are available, contact the Force10 Networks Technical Assistance Center (TAC). Hardware Installation Precautions Important: Always use thread-forming screws when installing a Traverse shelf to ensure electrical continuity. This is especially critical when installing equipment in a rack coated with a non-conductive coating. Important: To ensure proper air flow, 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) of space is required between the Fuse Panel and the first Traverse 1600 or Traverse 2000 shelf in a standard horizontal-mount installation. Important: Traverse 2000 shelf installation into a 19-inch (483 mm) wide telco rack is a standard-mount only 5 inch (127 mm) forward. A flush-mount configuration is not currently available. Page 6-2 Force10 Networks Release TR3.2.2

105 Chapter 1 Precautions Electrical Precautions Important: The fan tray holder, with fay tray module and fan filter, must be installed either directly below the Traverse 1600 or Traverse 2000 shelf in a standard horizontal installation or flush with the Traverse 2000 shelf in a 19-inch rack installation (vertical) so that there is no gap between the shelf and fan tray holder to ensure proper air flow. Important: The Traverse shelf has a removable back cover to provide access to the main and fiber optic backplane and fan tray holder connector. The cover removes easily for cabling, but must be replaced during normal operation to ensure proper air flow and electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. Important: Carefully plan your power supply capacity. The Force10 PDAP with standard 40 amp fuses at -40 VDC provides 1600 watts. Force10 recommends using higher amperage fuses if your power requirements go above a minimum of 1400 watts. If you fail to make sufficient plans to meet the power requirements of your specific configuration and the power draw goes above the maximum capacity of your power supply design, it can cause a circuit breaker to trip, resulting in a loss of traffic. Electrical Precautions WARNING! Only power-certified personnel should install power equipment and cabling. WARNING! Do not install Traverse cards (modules) until all installation and cabling procedures are complete and you verify the correct polarity of your power installation. WARNING! A common return jumper plate is pre-installed on the shelf to help prevent system damage in the event of faulty wiring. If you remove this jumper plate, you MUST check and verify polarity before installing the battery and battery return cabling. Reverse polarity from incorrect wiring can cause sparking and may result in fire or other severe damage. Verify that the polarity is the same (-48VDC) for both -48VDC_A and -48VDC_B battery cable connections. Verify that the polarity is the same (RETURN) for both RETURN_A and RETURN_B battery return cable connections. Release TR3.2.2 Force10 Networks Page 6-3

106 Traverse Installation and Commissioning Guide, Section 6: Precautions and Common Procedures Fiber Optic Cabling Precautions WARNING!
