2 Introducing the NPT-1200
The NPT-1200 is a future-proof and fully redundant converged multiservice packet transport platform
optimized for the metro access aggregation and access nodes.
As a carrier class packet transport, it combines transport network reliability and ease of management with
packet efficiency. Seamless and cost effective transition from TDM to packet is gained through an All-Native
architecture, processing both packet and TDM traffic natively but supporting also Ethernet/MPLS-TP over
TDM (EoS/MoT) and TDM over Ethernet (CES). The All-Native architecture provides cost-effective support
for mixed packet and TDM traffic while preserving the existing network structure and work procedures.
The NPT-1200 integrated optics support allows seamless integration with next generation optical networks.
By supporting the most advanced carrier class Ethernet-based services (L1, L2, and MPLS-TP) with high
10GE fan-out, the NPT-1200 is well positioned to support cellular backhaul transition/ migration plans from
TDM to Ethernet or for a new build-out of LTE and 4G networks with enhanced 1588V2 support. The
NPT-1200 supports full triple play services for residential NGN applications. Its unique support of utility
targeted interfaces and rugged design make it an ideal solution for NG transport networks.
As with all ECI’s transport products, the NPT-1200 is managed by the unified multilayer LightSoft® NMS.

3.5 Installing the NPT-1200 in Racks

The following sections describe options for installing the NPT-1200 in racks with corresponding ancillary
equipment.

3.5.1 Installation Plan

Follow these guidelines for installing NPT-1200 platforms and ancillary equipment in racks.
We recommend installation in ECI ETSI racks, which provide the following advantages:
 Removable rear and side panels, enabling tidy leading and efficient maintenance of all rack cables,
including:
 PCM/E1/E3/DS-3/STM-1e cables
 Control cables
 Power cables
 Data cables
 Voice frequency cables
 Timing cables
 Two ducts on the rack’s front rails for routing up to 200 optical fibers
 Open frame top and bottom, facilitating easy leading of cables from suspension floors and/or ceiling
ladders
 Front door mountable for left or right opening
NPT-1200 equipment racks can be installed on wooden, concrete, or floating floors, or suspended from
overhead mountings.
3.5.2 Typical NPT-1200 Installation

See Figure "Typical installation of four NPT-1200 shelves in an ETSI rack " which illustrates a typical
installation in an ECI ETSI rack. In the figure, four NPT-1200 shelves are shown.
In addition to the NPT-1200 shelf, the equipment installed in the rack can include:
 One RAP installed at the top of the rack. The RAP is used to connect external power and alarm
monitoring lines (RAP-4B only) to the NPT-1200 shelves installed in the rack. The RAP fully supports
up to four shelves with dual power feeding. In addition to the space needed for RAP installation, you
must leave at least 50 mm of free space under the RAP for cable routing.
NOTE: The RAP-BG does not support alarm monitoring lines.
 Fiber Storage Tray. A separate FST can be installed for each NPT-1200 with optical modules. Each FST
contains two storage reels, enabling the fiber to be stored on the right or left side of the tray. Leave at
least 50 mm of free space between the NPT-1200 shelf and its FST, and another 50 mm free between
the FST and the next NPT-1200 shelf.

 xDDF-21. When unbalanced E1 interfaces are needed, the xDDF-21 must be installed with the
NPT-1200. Each xDDF-21 can support 21 channels of E1. The xDDF-21 can be installed anywhere on
the same rack as the NPT-1200 shelf or on another rack.
 ICP_MCP30. When an RS-232 or V.11 interface from the MCP1200 is used, the ICP_MCP30 must be
installed to distribute the concentrated Auxiliary connector into dedicated connectors for each
function. The ICP_MCP30 can be installed anywhere on the same rack as the NPT-1200 shelf.
3.5.3 Integrating NPT-1200 Shelves and Other Equipment in

One Rack
NPT-1200 shelves and associated accessories may not occupy the entire rack. Additional equipment may,
therefore, be installed in the remaining rack space, provided that any heat generated by additional
equipment can be dissipated efficiently, and that thermal isolation is provided between the various
equipment units.
In case additional equipment being installed on the rack, contact ECI’s Customer Support team for
assistance.
3.6 Preparing Cables and Fibers

3.6.1 Grounding Cables
Platform grounding is achieved by connecting the platform to the rack using rack mounting brackets.
Grounding is provided by contact when the unit is fastened to the rack.
A reliable low-impedance connection must be provided using copper conductors between the rack frame
and the site grounding bus.
Make the connection between the rack grounding screw and the site grounding bus with a 2 AWG (35 mm2)
or thicker copper lead with yellow/green insulation, in compliance with UL/ETSI recommendations.
Route grounding conductors along the shortest possible route. Treat the bare portion of the conductor with
antioxidant and connect a listed two-hole compression lug. If the lug is not plated, polish it until it has a
bright finish and coat it with antioxidant before connecting it to the frame of the rack. Do not mix different
types of metal conductors.
3.6.2 DC Power Cables

DC power cables must be prepared on site. Two types of DC power cables are needed:
 RAP input power cables
 Platform power cables
ECI recommends the use of shielded power cables for DC power connections, with the shields connected to
the frame ground at the rack end only.

3.6.2.1 RAP Input Power Cables

The RAP input power cables are prepared on site. They connect input power from the site power
distribution subsystem to the DC input terminals of the RAP.
Two input power cables are required for each rack, one for each source. The cables must use copper leads
complying with UL/ETSI recommendations. Use a red lead for the positive conductor and a black lead for
the negative conductor. The RAP cable ends must be terminated in M6 cable lugs matching the conductor
gauge.
The recommended cable gauge is 25 mm² or thicker. This gauge ensures that the voltage drop across the
rack power cable does not exceed 2 V, even for cable runs of maximum 30 meters connected to a RAP and
providing power to multiple NPT-1200 platforms.
When the RAP is used to provide power to a single NPT-1200 platform, lower-lead gauges may be used, as
follows:
 For runs not exceeding 20 meters, use 10 mm2 copper leads.
 For runs not exceeding 30 meters, use 16 mm2 copper leads.
3.6.2.2 Shelf Power Cables

One 12 AWG cable, supplied by ECI, is used to connect the input power from the rack RAP unit to the
POWER IN connector on each INF_1200 module of each NPT-1200 shelf installed in the rack.
3.6.3 Alarm Cables

Alarm cables used within NPT-1200 equipment are included in the shipment according to site
specifications.
The alarm indications are carried by the shelf alarm indication cable. One shelf alarm indication cable is
required for each NPT-1200 shelf installed in the rack. There are two types of alarm cable. If the ICP_MCP30
is not installed, an alarm cable connects between the Auxiliary connector on the MCP1200 and one of the
Alarms connectors on the RAP (RAP-4B only). If the ICP_MCP30 is installed, another alarm cable connects
between the Alarms connector on the ICP_MCP30 and one of the Alarms connectors on the RAP (RAP-4B
only). Cable length is 2 m.
NOTE: There are no Alarms connectors on the RAP-BG.
3.6.4 Management Cables

Out-of-band management traffic is connected to a NPT-1200 shelf via the RJ-45 (MNG) connector located
on the front panel of the MCP1200.
The MNG Ethernet connector is wired as a 10BaseT station port for direct connection through an
RJ-45-to-RJ-45 straight cable to a port of a 10BaseT Ethernet hub.

Suitable standard Ethernet station cables are available from many sources. Cables of Category 5 or better
must be used. In all cases, the length of the cables must not exceed the maximum recommended for the
cable type and hub port in use (up to a few dozen meters).
3.6.5 Timing (Clock) Cables

The NPT-1200 shelf uses an RJ-45 connector on the MCP1200 front panel that integrates the two timing
reference interfaces (2 x T3 and 2 x T4). If it has balanced (120 Ω) G.703 interfaces, a multitwisted-pair
cable with an RJ-45 connector (supplied by ECI) is used to connect timing signals from the NPT-1200 to the
site timing reference distribution subsystems.
If the site timing reference distribution subsystem has unbalanced (75 Ω) G.703 interfaces, configure an
adapter with coaxial cables that provides balanced-to-unbalanced conversion (supplied by ECI).
3.6.6 Electric Traffic Cables

Some electric traffic cables can be prepared on site. The following table lists the type of cables and mating
connectors needed for each NPT-1200 traffic interface type.

3.6.7 Optical Fibers

Optical fibers can be prepared on site. The following table lists the type of cables and mating connectors
needed to prepare cables for each NPT-1200 module.
For each optical interface, ECI supplies patch cords with mating optical connectors already attached to the
fiber. Therefore, only the optical termination on the ODF side, which is installation-dependent, must be
installed on site.
The optical fibers for connecting to equipment installed in a given rack must enter the rack from the top, be
threaded through cable guides running along the rack side rails, and end at the FST. The FST must contain
enough fiber length for extracting modules from the NPT-1200 and for replacing fiber in case of damage
(splicing repairs).
When routing fibers, make sure to observe the minimum bending radius (35 mm).

 Do not work on any equipment connected to a voltage source (DC or AC).
 Ensure that the maximum working temperature does not exceed 70°C.
 Use only insulated tools.
 Wear protective clothing as required by the requisite safety regulations.
 Do not install or maintain equipment connected to external lines (for example, E1 tributaries) during
thunderstorms.
 Avoid contact with high-voltage sources when installing platforms, cards, and modules.
 Make sure you are familiar with the warning signals and labels on the equipment and strictly observe
the procedures needed to avoid the indicated hazards.
3.7.1 Grounding Requirements

All the equipment, including NPT-1200 platforms, ancillary units, and equipment from other vendors, must
be properly grounded at all times. Good equipment grounding is necessary to protect personnel and
equipment, minimize noise, and allow the discharge of accumulated static charges to earth.
3.7.1.1 Rack Grounding Requirements

Connect the rack to the site grounding bar with a ground cable according to ETSI recommendations
(top/bottom connection).
The rack is supplied with a main copper or brass grounding bolt welded to the rack frame. The grounding
stud is identified on the rack by the ground symbol label.

The rack grounding bolt must be connected to the site grounding bar by a 35 mm2 (2 AWG) grounding cable
or thicker, as short as possible, complying with UL/ETSI recommendations. The bolt must be free of paint.
The cable must be made of copper strands and terminated on both sides with bolt terminals.
NOTE: If necessary, the gauge of the grounding lead can also be reduced to the gauge of the
RAP power leads.
The rack mounting rails must be free of paint and provide electrical continuity to the main grounding bolt.
The resistance between any rail and the rack main grounding bolt must be less than 0.1 Ω.
Pay particular attention to the area in which the RAP is attached. Remove paint from the rack in this area to
ensure efficient electrical contact.
CAUTION: Connect the RAP grounding bolt to the rack grounding bolt with a grounding cable
complying with UL/ETSI recommendations. The cable must include bolt terminals on both
ends and be securely fastened with a nut and a star washer.
3.7.2 Power Supply Requirements

The NPT-1200 and EXT_2U shelves require two power sources with a nominal voltage of -48 VDC. Each
power source is protected by a UL-listed circuit breaker installed in the RAP. The required circuit breakers
are included in the installation parts kit supplied with the equipment, and therefore, their current rating is
in accordance with the order.
The site operator must provide a readily accessible UL-listed disconnect device incorporated in the fixed
power wiring of the site. This device limits the maximum delivered current to a safe value.

3.7.4 Protection against Electrostatic Discharge

This section provides guidelines regarding the protection of NPT-1200 equipment and its components
against electrostatic discharge (ESD) during handling, packing/unpacking, transport, installation,
commissioning, inspections, servicing, and maintenance.
10
Single-fiber bidirectional transceivers with a transmit wavelength of 1310 nm.
11
Single-fiber bidirectional transceivers with a transmit wavelength of 1550 nm.

Electronic equipment, assemblies, and components that are ESDS (electrostatic discharge sensitive) or
include sensitive items are identified by the basic ESD warning symbol shown in the following figure.
Figure 3-2: Basic ESD warning symbol
The information provided in this section is in line with CENELEC Electronic Components Committee (CECC)
specification CECC 00 015, which deals with protection of devices sensitive to ESD.
Most types of electronic equipment, assemblies, and components can be damaged by electrostatic
discharges. An ESD between two objects occurs when an object carrying static electrical charges touches or
is brought near another object.
Static electrical charges appear as a result of friction between surfaces of insulating materials or separation
of two such surfaces, and may also be induced by electrical fields. Routine activities such as walking across
an insulating floor, friction between garment parts, friction between objects, and so on, can easily build up
charges to levels that may cause damage, especially when humidity is low.
In many cases, the build-up of charge can be avoided by using special materials, for example, garments and
packaging of antistatic materials or materials that have high resistance, but yet are not insulators.
The best way to avoid damage by ESD is a combination of means and procedures that achieves the
following goals:
 Avoids build-up of electrostatic charges
 Creates a protected work environment that helps prevent ESD
 Provides means for controlled discharge of any accumulated electrostatic charges when entering the
protected work environment
NOTE: An area in which ESDS can be handled with minimum risk of damage as a result of ESD
or fields, and in which the operator is not exposed to additional risks, is called an ESD
Protected Area (EPA).
3.7.4.1 Personnel Training

During production and assembly, equipment is handled in workspaces especially prepared and certified to
serve as a permanent EPA. However, in many cases, the environment in which the same equipment is
installed or maintained cannot be assumed to form an EPA with a permanently controlled boundary.
Therefore, all the work involving handling of unprotected ESD must be considered as field work.
Field work in this context includes such activities as service and maintenance, installation, site inspections,
and commissioning of components and assemblies classified as ESDS, together with associated packing and
unpacking activities.
All the staff involved in field work must be trained to perform their work in the same way as that performed
in permanent EPAs with respect to the material quality, personal responsibilities, training, labeling, and
packing.

3.7.4.2 Use of a Temporary EPA

Where necessary, use a temporary EPA. The EPA toolkit includes:
 Wrist strap with 1 M Ω series resistor
 Bonding strap with 1 M Ω series resistor
 ESD carpet (work surface), 0.25 m2 minimum
The temporary EPA must include temporary controlled work surfaces and/or flooring capable of providing
protection against ESD.
CAUTION: The temporary EPA must be constructed in a way that ensures electrical bonding of
all the materials used, and prevents the occurrence of any sudden changes in potential within
the EPA that could cause unacceptable voltages or discharges to be applied to ESDS.
The operator and any work surface and flooring must be bonded to ground equipotentially. For this
purpose, the work surface and wrist straps must be bonded either to a designated ground bonding point or
to the equipment being serviced.
Whenever available, the mains’ ground serves as the ESD grounding facility.
WARNING: While the operator is within the temporary EPA, the minimum value of resistance
used for bonding to ground must limit the current to ground, produced by voltages accessible
to the operator, to limits specified as safe by the applicable regulations (see, for example,
CECC 00 015). The same approach is applicable to the surface resistance and resistance to
ground of materials used for temporary work surfaces and flooring.
To enable ESD bonding to ground of equipment racks and any other nonmoveable equipment containing
ESD, an ESD ground-bonding facility must be located near such equipment, or the equipment must be fitted
with a designated ground-bonding point presenting a resistance to ground not greater than 1 MΩ.
3.7.4.3 Work Arrangements within a Temporary EPA

To ensure that effective ESD protection is indeed achieved, the following arrangements must be observed
by persons entering and/or performing field work within a temporary EPA:
 All operators working within a temporary EPA must wear, as a minimum, an ESD antistatic protecting
garment made of cotton.
 If the extent of the temporary work area is such that the operator needs to walk and move within
that area, the floor of the area must be capable of providing protection against ESD.
 The operator must be bonded to ground at all times when handling ESDS.
 If it becomes necessary to remove ESDS equipment and transfer it to a temporary work surface away
from the other equipment, the ESDS must be given protective packaging unless equipotential bonding
to ground of the operator is maintained.

 An ESDS unit must be placed directly into protective packaging when it is removed from equipment. A
replacement ESDS must be kept in its protective packaging until required for immediate installation in
the equipment.
 The field service operator must ensure that the materials and tools necessary to maintain and control
the temporary EPA are available at the place of the field work at service time.
 All tools for use within the EPA must, as far as is practical, be constructed so that they do not
generate or hold an induced electrostatic charge.

NPT-1200 Installation and Maintenance Manual Installing Equipment
CAUTION: Static Sensitive Devices

Proper handling and grounding precautions required
NPT-1200 equipment contains components sensitive to ESD. To prevent ESD damage, strictly
observe all the precautions listed in Protection Against Electronic Discharge. Keep parts and
cards in their antistatic packaging material until you are ready to install them.
The use of an antistatic wrist strap connected to a grounded equipment frame or rack is
recommended when handling cards and modules during installation, removal, or connection
to internal connectors.
To unpack the equipment:

1. Place the shipping boxes with the top upwards on a clean flat surface. Cut the sealing tape using a
short knife so as not to damage the internal items, and open the top flaps.
2. Remove the items contained in the box and inspect each one for damage. Check for loose parts or any
visual damage to the rack, platform, and auxiliary equipment. Also check the integrity of all the
connectors, leads, and cables.
NOTE: Do not remove plastic covers from optical connectors until optical cables are
connected to them.
3. Search the shipping boxes for any additional small items that may be present.
4. Open each of the module and card packages for inspection, but do not remove the modules/cards
from their individual protective packages until they can be inserted in the platform.
5. Check the contents of the shipping boxes against the packing list attached to each box. If damaged
parts are detected or if any parts are missing, notify the project manager and your local ECI
representative immediately.
4.5 Installation Options

It is recommended that NPT-1200 shelves be installed in ECI recommended racks. These racks can be
installed on wooden, concrete, or suspended floors, or suspended from overhead mountings.
The following racks are supported:
 Standard 19” rack

4.10 Connecting Fibers and Cables to the NPT-1200

Shelf
In general, all electrical traffic cables, power cables, alarm cables, and data cables must be routed along the
sides of the rack. All optical fibers must be routed through the conduits running along the front supports of
the rack. Electrical traffic and other cables (DC, alarm, management, timing, and so on) must be routed
along the side of the rack, and held in place with cable ties.
4.10.1 Connecting Power and Alarm Cables to a DC Power

Source
Follow these steps to connect power and alarm cables to a DC power source.
To connect power and alarm cables:

1. Route the power cables leading from the RAP along the side of the rack to the appropriate NPT-1200
shelf.
NOTE: For further details about the RAP installation procedure, see Installing the RAP-BG or
Installing the RAP-4B.
2. Connect the end of the DC power cable from one source, terminating with a 3-pin D-type female
connector in accordance with the rack installation plan and the cable tags, to the DC power connector

3. Connect the end of the DC power cable from the second source, terminating with a 3-pin D-type
female connector in accordance with the rack installation plan and the cable tags, to the DC power
connector on the second INF_1200.
NOTE: When an expanded platform (EXT-2U above the NPT-1200) is installed, use a dual feed
high power cable (Y-cable) to connect the DC power. This cable enables to connect power to
both units from one output on the RAP, saving one circuit breaker and the need to use two
separate power cables.
4. Route the alarm cable leading from the RAP along the side of the rack to the appropriate NPT-1200
shelf (if an ICP_MCP30 is not installed) or to the appropriate ICP_MCP30 (if an ICP_MCP30 is
installed).
5. Connect the free ends of the alarm cable, in accordance with the rack installation plan and the cable
tags, to the Auxiliary connector on the MCP1200 (if an ICP_MCP30 is not installed) or Alarms
connector on the front panel of the ICP_MCP30 (if installed).
6. Secure the cable connector to the MCP1200 or ICP_MCP30 connector with the cable connector
screws. Tighten the screws manually. If you cannot reach the screws with your hands, use an
adjustable-torque flatblade screwdriver (maximum blade size 0.6). Set the tightening torque to 40 N
cm to 44 N cm.

4.10.2 Connecting Optical Fibers to Optical Modules

Before installing the NPT-1200 shelf and modules, all optical fibers must be routed through the conduits
running along the front supports of the ECI recommended rack into the FST under the NPT-1200 shelf being
installed, and threaded into the FST. For more information, see Installing the Fiber Storage Tray.
All optical fibers in the NPT-1200 shelf are connected to the LC connectors on the optical SFP transceivers in
the front panel of the XIO64 modules.
CAUTION: Make sure that all the optical connectors are closed at all times with the
appropriate protective caps or with the mating cable connector. Do not remove the protective
cap until an optical fiber is connected to the corresponding connector, and immediately install
a protective cap after a cable is disconnected.
The minimum bending radius of optical fibers is 35 mm. Sharp bending of fibers may degrade
the optical transmission characteristics.
To connect an optical fiber to an SFP module:

1. Push the button on the front panel of the FST to open the latch and pull the FST out towards you.
2. Slowly pull the end of the appropriate fiber to release enough fiber from the tray.
NOTE: The FST has two opening positions. The tray latches with a click at the halfway position.
If you cannot release the fiber in the halfway position, pull the tray again to open it fully.
3. Thread the end of the fiber through the rack slots to the optical transceiver LC connector on the
designated module. Leave some slack to prevent stress.
4. Thoroughly clean the connectors of the optical fibers using an approved cleaning kit.
5. Remove the cover from the optical transceiver. Connect the fiber connector to the LC connector on
the optical transceiver.
6. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for all optical modules in the NPT-1200 shelf.

on each NE at each site:
 Verify the cards and modules installed in each platform.
 Perform a visual inspection and mechanical checks.
 Measure optical levels (see reference data in the NPT Product Line General Description).
5.3.1 Checking Cards and Modules Installed in Each Shelf

This check is performed to confirm that the required cards and modules have been installed in each site,
and to record their options, revisions, boot version, and serial numbers.
The following table provides a typical form for recording the cards and modules installed in a NPT-1200
shelf.
Table 5-1: Card and module inventory

5.3.2 Visual Inspection and Mechanical Checks

The visual inspection checks for proper equipment installation, correct routing and connection of cables,
and other tasks related to equipment installation, as follows:
 Equipment installation provides the criteria for proper equipment installation.
 The site cabling diagram provides the criteria for proper cabling routing.

After completing the visual inspection tasks (items 1 through 18 in the following table), power on the
NPT-1200 shelf to perform an additional set of acceptance tests (items 15 through 19 in the following
table). These tests check the functions needed for continuing the execution of the network commissioning
tests. Consult the NPT Product Line General Description and the NPT Product Line Reference Manual for a
description of the various card indicators and their functions.
The following table provides a typical list for recording the results of a visual inspection and mechanical
check.
Table 5-2: Visual inspection and mechanical checks
No. Description of inspection/check Results
1 Check mechanical mounting of the rack.
2 Check the NPT-1200 installation; make sure that the NPT-1200 is properly
installed.
3 Check the ODF and FST installation and fiber connection (if applicable).
4 Check the DDF installation and relevant cable connections (if applicable).
5 Check ICP_MCP30 installation and relevant cable connections (if applicable).
6 Check the grounding cable connections.
7 Check the DC power cable connections (main fuse to RAP, RAP fuse to
NPT-1200 shelf).
8 Check the network manager station installation (if applicable).
9 Check the installation of modules and cards.
10 Check the connection of relevant cables or fibers for all cards installed.
11 Provide DC supply voltage via the INF_1200 on slot PSA to the RAP (-40 V to
-75 V).
12 Provide DC supply voltage via the INF_1200 on slot PSB to the RAP (-40 V to
-75 V).
13 Power on the shelf.
14 Check the proper operation of both RAP power sources by disconnecting one
source at a time.
15 Check the communication between the NPT-1200 shelf and the LCT-APT via
the MNG Ethernet interface on the MCP1200.
16 Check the proper operation of all fans.
17 Check LED operation using the LED TEST option in the LCT-APT.
18 Check slot assignment for all relevant cards and modules.
19 Check that there are no abnormal alarms.

5.3.3 Measuring Optical Levels

These measurements check optical signal levels at the various equipment ports. Before performing any
other commissioning test, proper optical levels within the limits specified in the NPT Product Line System
Specifications must be achieved for each optical component.
Perform these measurements using an OPM configured according to the wavelength at the measurement
port. For reliable measurement, do not connect the OPM directly to a port but use a two-meter fiber. When
measuring high optical power levels, use attenuators to ensure that the power does not exceed the
maximum OPM input level.
The following table illustrates a typical data form for optical level measurements.
Table 5-3: Measured optical levels
Slot Module type Port Wavelength Optical transmit Receive level

level (dBm) (dBm)
The measured power levels:

 Must be within the range of minimum and maximum levels specified in the NPT Product Line General
Description for the transceiver plug-in type installed on the corresponding port.
 Must be within the expected range according to the optical network plan.
It is usually sufficient to measure the optical levels at the receive ports only. A good port-receive level
indicates that the components in the optical path up to that port are properly connected and operating
normally. If the result is not satisfactory, perform additional measurements at the transmit port in the
remote site.
5.3.4 Platform Power-On Test Procedure
To power on the NE:

1. Perform slot assignments for all the relevant cards and modules in the platform.
2. After 10 seconds, turn the platform circuit breaker off.
3. After 30 seconds, turn the platform circuit breaker on.
The equipment should automatically return to normal operation, without user intervention and
without any abnormal alarms in the system.

5.4 SDH Commissioning Tests

These commissioning tests check that SDH functionality is in accordance with the system specifications.
5.4.1 Test Equipment Setup

The SDH tests are performed using a PDH analyzer, OPM, and variable attenuators. Configure the OPM
according to the measured wavelength.
The test conditions for the various interfaces are described in the following sections.

5.4.2 Loss of Signal (LOS) Detection Test

This test verifies that NEs recognize alarms and send an alarm notification to the management system for
viewing.
To perform a LOS detection test:

1. Create NEs and links through the management system.
2. Disconnect the Rx optical fiber from one of the modules. A LOS alarm at the SPI level of this module
port appears, together with other alarms generated by the disconnection.
5.4.3 Network Timing Synchronization Test

This test checks that the NPT-1200 NEs synchronize properly and switch to the next priority clock source
when a failure occurs.
To perform network timing synchronization test:

1. Define one NE as the (internal) timing source to which all other NEs are synchronized. This test can be
done with an external timing source, if requested.
2. Define several priorities for the timing source.
3. Disconnect the Rx fiber connected to the NE defined as the main timing source.
If the NE has two or more timing sources, it synchronizes to the second priority source, and an alarm is
generated for the missing main timing source.
If the NE has only one timing source, the NE timing is set as “hold-over” and an alarm is generated for the
main timing source. Another alarm is generated to indicate that there is no available timing source.

5.4.4 Input Sensitivity Test

This test verifies that the input sensitivity of the NPT-1200 optical modules is according to specifications.
To perform an input sensitivity test:

1. Create one unprotected trail of any rate between two NEs.
2. Connect test equipment to one NE and perform a loopback at the other NE (in the relevant endpoint
ports).
3. Connect a variable optical attenuator to one of the fibers of the relevant trail, and set the attenuator
to 0 dB.
4. Increase the attenuation gradually until the test equipment displays a burst of errors.
5. Connect an OPM to the first Rx point after the variable optical attenuator and measure the total
power. The measured optical power level is the input sensitivity of the module.
6. Verify that the results are in accordance with the NPT Product Line System Specifications.
5.4.5 Equipment Power-On Test

This test verifies that the NPT-1200 NEs continue operating properly after a power break, without operator
involvement.
To perform an equipment power-on test:

ports).
3. Shut off the power to one of the nongateway NEs within the relevant trail. Errors and an Alarm
Indication Signal (AIS) alarm appear in the test equipment. After approximately seven minutes, an “NE
disconnected” alarm appears in the management system current alarm list, and the NE icon turns
gray (indicates no communication).
4. Power on the NE and wait for it to perform the initial download to all cards/modules in the platform.
This can take five minutes.
5. Verify that the NE is connected to the management station and that there are no relevant alarms in

This test verifies that SNCP traffic operates properly when a failure occurs.
To perform a path protection and nonretrieval test:

1. Create one protected trail of any rate between two NEs.
ports).
3. Disconnect one of the fibers in the active path of the trail. Short alarm bursts of less than 50 msec
appear in the test equipment, and the management station reports an alarm in the active path of the
trail.
4. Verify that the trail works properly on the protection path.
5. Reconnect the optical fiber. The trail remains on the protection path (nonretrieve mode), and there is
no alarm in the test equipment.
5.4.8 Severity Assignment Test

This test, which is performed on one NPT-1200 NE, determines the level of urgency accorded to each alarm
and creates an alarm-handling protocol.
When a fault is detected or removed, the NE updates the status of the LEDs and reports the alarm
activation or clearing to the management station.

To perform a severity assignment test:

1. Disconnect a fiber from one of the optical interfaces. An SPI LOS alarm of critical severity appears on
the management station for the NPT-1200 and the MJR LED on the NPT-1200 panel turns on.
2. Reconnect the fiber. The SPI LOS alarm on the management station clears and the MJR LED on the
NPT-1200 panel turns off (only if there are no other alarms on the NPT-1200 unit).
3. Change the severity of the SPI LOS alarm to minor.
4. Disconnect a fiber from one of the optical interfaces. An SPI LOS alarm of minor severity appears on
the management station for the NPT-1200 and the MNR LED on the NPT-1200 panel turns on (only if
there is no critical or major alarm on the NPT-1200 unit).
5. Reconnect the fiber. The SPI LOS alarm on the management station clears and the MNR LED on the
NPT-1200 panel turns off (only if there is no other alarm on the NPT-1200 unit).
5.4.9 Transmission Alarm-Handling Test

This test verifies that the NPT-1200 NEs can recognize an alarm and send an alarm notification to the
management system, and that the management system displays it properly.
This procedure tests the following alarms: PDH-LOS, PDH-AIS, and SPI-LOS.
To perform a transmission alarm-handling test:

2. Connect PDH test equipment to one NE and perform a loopback at the other NE (in the relevant
endpoint ports).
3. Disconnect the Tx cable of the test equipment. The management station reports a LOS alarm for the
relevant PDH port.
4. Set the test equipment to transmit an AIS (AIS = on). The management station reports an AIS alarm
for the relevant PDH port.
5. Disconnect the Rx fiber of an optical port. The management station reports a LOS (SPI-LOS) alarm for
the relevant optical port.
If ALS = off, the management station reports a far-end optical port MS-RDI alarm.
If ALS = on, the management station reports a far-end optical port LOS alarm.
5.4.10 Maintenance Action Test

This test verifies that maintenance actions can be performed in the NPT-1200 NEs using the management
system.
This procedure tests a near-end loopback, forced PDH AIS, forced low-rate RDI, forced high-rate RDI, and
forced MS-RDI.

To perform maintenance action test:

2. Connect test equipment to one NE. The PDH test equipment detects an AIS alarm.
3. Perform a near-end loopback at the other trail endpoint. The AIS alarm in the PDH test equipment
clears, and no alarm or error remains on the PDH test equipment.
4. Using the management station, execute forced AIS on the PDH port that connects to the test
equipment. The PDH test equipment detects an AIS alarm.
5. Using the management station, execute a forced low-rate RDI (or forced high-rate RDI or forced
MS-RDI) on a NPT-1200 platform. Another NPT-1200 platform reports a low-rate RDI (or high-rate RDI
or MS-RDI) to the management station.
5.5 Data Network Commissioning Tests

The data network commissioning tests check that data functionality is in accordance with system
specifications.
5.5.1 Throughput and Latency Tests

These tests determine the time it takes to transmit frames through the network, and the maximum amount
of data that can pass through the network before frames are lost.
To perform throughput and latency tests:

1. Create two unprotected Ethernet trails of any rate between two NEs in the network.
2. Connect test equipment to both ports of one NE and connect two ports of the other NE through an
Ethernet cable.
3. Configure the test equipment for RFC-2544 throughput and latency measurement.
4. Measure the throughput and latency for frame sizes 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 1280, and 1518 bytes,
and record the results in the appropriate table.
NOTE:
 Measured latency is for both the forward and return paths. For a single path, the latency is
50% of the measured value.
 The latency test is dependent on the throughput results. For example, if 10 Mbps is tested
and the throughput is 4%, the latency test should be for 4 Mbps (2 * VC-12 = 4 Mbps).
Inject traffic according to the assigned bandwidth (VC-12 = 2.048 Mbps).

5.5.2 System Recovery and Reset Tests

These tests determine the speed at which a device recovers from a buffer overflow condition or from a
power failure.
To perform system recovery and reset tests:

1. Create two unprotected Ethernet trails of any rate (for example, 10/100 Mbps) between two NEs.
2. Connect test equipment to both ports of one NE and connect two ports of the other NE (in the
relevant endpoint ports) through an Ethernet cable.
3. Configure the test equipment for manual testing according to the port rate and for any frame size.
4. Power off one of the NEs and verify packet loss in the test equipment.
5. Turn on the NE, wait five minutes, and verify that the errors in the test equipment have cleared.
5.5.3 Frame Loss Rate Test

This test determines the number of frames that are lost when the system is overloaded.
To perform a frame loss rate test:

1. Create two unprotected Ethernet trails between two NEs.
3. Configure the test equipment for RFC-2544 for frame loss measurements. Set to 100%.
The frame loss rate in % is defined according to the following formula:
[(input fps) - (output fps)] * 100 / (input fps)
fps = frames per second
For example, for a 100 Mbps test using 5 * VC-12 = 10 Mbps, with input fps = 148810 and output fps =
14881, the frame loss is:
148810 - 14881 = 133929 (a 90% loss).

5.5.4 Stability Test

This test determines the stability of the network by checking that it can function with no errors for a
defined period of time.
To perform a stability test:

1. Create two unprotected Ethernet trails of any rate (for example, 10/100 Mbps) between two NEs.
3. Configure the test equipment for manual testing according to the port rate and for any frame size.
4. Set the transmit rate in the test equipment to about 90% of the trail bandwidth.
5. Run this test for two hours, and verify that no errors appear in the test equipment.
5.5.5 Alarm-Handling Test

This test checks the alarm conditions forced on the NE and the subsequent action carried out by the NE. It
tests signal loss to both the data LAN port and to the optical interfaces.
To perform an alarm-handling test:

1. Create two Ethernet trails of any rate (for example, 10/100 Mbps) between two NEs.
3. Disconnect the test equipment to create a signal loss to the data LAN port. This generates a 10/100
Mbps - Link Down alarm.

6.4 Onsite Troubleshooting

The purpose of onsite troubleshooting is to identify the hardware causing the malfunction and return the
equipment to normal operation as soon as possible.
Troubleshooting is usually initiated in response to one of the following conditions:
 Alarm or performance degradation reported by the management station.
 Alarm or malfunction detected onsite by maintenance personnel, either as a result of a
troubleshooting activity initiated by the management center personnel or as a result of a periodic
inspection or preventive maintenance action. Many problems can be detected via the various
indicators available on the NPT-1200 system components.
This chapter assumes familiarity with the NPT-1200, with SDH data, and with the LightSoft and EMS-APT
management stations. See the respective user manual for details on the various capabilities of the
management stations and for instructions on performing the necessary activities.
The following sections provide procedures for performing onsite troubleshooting for various trouble
categories. For each category, a troubleshooting table provides instructions for identifying the problem.

To use the troubleshooting table:

1. Identify the closest description of the trouble symptoms under “Symptoms”.
2. Perform the required corrective actions listed under “Corrective actions” in the order they appear,
until the trouble is corrected.

 Use an OPM to measure the
output optical power. If it is not
within the range specified in the
NPT-1200 Product Line System
Specifications during a 90-second
period, the problem is in the
transmit side of the transceiver.
Remove and reinsert the
transceiver.
 Check the output optical power
again. If it is still not within the
range, replace the transceiver.
 If the problem still exists, check
the received optical power with an
OPM. If the optical power is within
the range, replace the transceiver.
 If the problem still exists after
following the previous steps,
check the remote site.
 Turn on the ALS function after
performing all checks.
 If there are no problems on both
sites, the problem may be in the
optical fiber between the two
sites.
 Turn on the ALS function after
performing all checks.
NOTE: An optical port with ALS capability turns off its transmitter when the corresponding
receive signal is lost. Turning the transmitter off may cause a chain reaction, which turns the
optical signals off in a whole section of the network and generates a large number of alarms.
As a result, it may be difficult to identify the real cause of the problem and you may need to
use the management station log records to identify the port.

6.7 Replacing Cards and Modules

The following sections provide procedures for replacing cards and modules in the NPT-1200.
6.7.1 Safety and Workmanship

Refer to Before You Start for safety and workmanship instructions.
CAUTION: Static Sensitive Devices

PROPER HANDLING AND GROUNDING PRECAUTIONS REQUIRED
NPT-1200 equipment contains components sensitive to ESD. To prevent ESD damage, strictly
observe all the precautions listed in Protection Against ESD. Keep parts and cards in their
antistatic packaging material until you are ready to install them.
Use an antistatic wrist strap connected to a grounded equipment frame or rack when handling
cards and modules during installation, removal, or connection to internal connectors.
Before you start:

When inserting cards and modules, be sure to carefully align the card/module with the platform guide rails.
If you feel resistance during insertion, immediately retract the card/module and repeat the process.
Hold the card/module straight during insertion and removal, and pull or push it slowly and carefully to
avoid touching components located on adjacent cards/modules.
Do not use excessive torque when tightening the fastening screws of cards and modules.
Visually inspect the card and the mating backplane connectors and make sure that there are no signs of
physical damage. In particular, check for bent connector pins.
Before replacing any card, module, or optical transceiver:

1. Check that the replacement component has not been physically damaged during shipment.
2. Remove the replacement component from its antistatic protection packaging, and perform a visual
inspection to detect damage during shipment. Report any problems.
3. Record the hardware and software versions as indicated on the component identification labels, and
make sure they are compatible with those of the component to be replaced.
After replacing a component: 0.
1. Place it in its antistatic protection packaging and close it.

2. Attach a report to the packaging explaining the reason for the replacement, and identify the network
site, physical location, platform, and time of replacement.

6.7.2 Replacing the MCP1200 Card

This section provides replacement instructions for the MCP1200 card in the NPT-1200 shelf.
CAUTION: Replacing the MCP1200 card does not affect traffic on other Tslot cards. However,
T3/T4 synchronization signals, the E1-based DCC clear channel, and OW traffic are unavailable
for the duration of the replacement.
To replace an MCP1200 card in the NPT-1200 shelf:

1. Mark each cable connected to the MCP1200 card for identification purposes.
2. Disconnect all cables connecting the MCP1200 card.
3. Loosen and remove the two screws.
4. Hold the handle on the MCP1200 panel and pull the card to be replaced outward until it is released
from the backplane.
5. Continue to hold the handles and gently pull the card out of the shelf.
6. Extract the CF card from the replaced MCP1200 card. Push the CF card and then release it to remove
the card from the slot automatically.
7. Insert the CF card into the replacement MCP1200 card. Be sure the card is properly locked.
8. Insert the rear end of the replacement card into the corresponding card guides.
9. Push the replacement card in until the front panel of the card is flush with the front of the NPT-1200
shelf. If resistance is felt before the connectors are flush, pull the card out and repeat the procedure.
10. Close the screws on the panel to fasten the card to the NPT-1200 shelf.
11. Reconnect all cables for the MCP1200 card according to the cable marks.
6.7.3 Replacing XIO64 or XIO16_4 Cards

This section provides replacement instructions for the XIO64 or XIO16_4 cards in the NPT-1200 shelf.
CAUTION: Because of XIO64 or XIO16_4 card redundancy, all the traffic on the main XIO64 or
XIO16_4 can be protected by the standby XIO64 or XIO16_4 when replacing the main XIO64 or
XIO16_4. To avoid breaks in traffic, the XIO64 or XIO16_4 cards must be replaced one by one.
It is important that the standby XIO64 or XIO16_4 card be running before replacing the main
XIO64 or XIO16_4 card.
To replace an XIO64 or XIO16_4 card in the NPT-1200 shelf:

7.12 PME1_63 Connection Data

The PME1_63 provides 63 balanced E1 tributary interfaces and has a 272-pin VHDCI female connector. If
unbalanced E1 interfaces (75 Ω) are required a conversion patch panel box, like the xDDF-21, is used. The
connector has two parts, each with 136 pins; the upper part serves the 63 E1 receive signals and the lower
part the 63 E1 transmit signals.
ECI offers a special cable for connecting the PME1_63 (see Traffic Cable for PME1_63.) The cable end
connecting to the PME1_63 terminates with a double 136-pin VHDCI male connector. The connector parts
are designated as P1 for the transmit lines and P3 for the receive lines.
The following figure identifies the connector pins as seen when looking into the connector. The tables list
the pin assignment for a typical connector (for unbalanced interfaces, wire A is the center (tip) conductor
and wire B is the shield or ring). These tables list the color of the wire connected to the corresponding pin

7.20.2 ALARM IN/OUT Connector

The ALARM IN/OUT connector is a 68-pin SCSI female connector that carries three groups of lines to the
customer equipment:
 Sixteen external alarm inputs connected to the ALARM inputs of the NPT platforms. Four inputs are
allocated to each one. Each input is activated by closing a dry contact provided from the customer's
facility.
 Eight sets of changeover relay contacts, floating with respect to platform ground, that serve as rack
(bay) status outputs. Each couple of the eight relays is assigned to the two output alarm lines of each
NPT platform connected to the RAP-4B.
 Four sets of changeover relay contacts, floating with respect to platform ground, that serve as rack
(bay) alarm indication lines. The relays, identified as critical, major, minor, and warning, are activated
by the corresponding alarm relays of NPT platforms.
Relay contact ratings are 72 V in open state and 1A in closed state.

The following figure identifies the ALARM IN/OUT connector pins, as seen when looking into the connector.

8 Rack Installation
8.1 Installing Equipment Racks

NOTE: The instructions in this Appendix are relevant to the installation of all rack types.
However, it is recommended that NPT-1200 platforms be installed in ETSI A racks.
8.1.1 Marking Rack Floor

You need to mark out the rack floor plan before installing the rack.
Before you start:

Before starting, find the prescribed location of each equipment rack.
If you have not yet unpacked the rack and the associated mounting kits, do so now (see Unpacking and
Performing Visual Inspection).
To mark out the rack floor plan:

1. For each rack, mark out the floor at the rack location(s) according to the floor plan template
corresponding to the type of rack being installed:
 ETSI A and ETSI B racks: Use template of diagram a. in the figure "Mounting diagrams for ETSI
racks" (Rack Installation on Wooden Floors).
 23” rack: Use template of diagram a. in the figure "Mounting diagrams for 19” and 23” racks"
(Rack Installation on Wooden Floors).
 19” rack: Use template of diagram b. in the figure "Mounting diagrams for 19” and 23” racks"
(Rack Installation on Wooden Floors).
The marked locations are a helpful guide for positioning the racks.
2. If the installation is located at a site with a floating (suspended) floor, also mark out all cable entry
slots.
3. For concrete or wooden floors, mark out all the points designated for equipment bolting.
8.1.2 Installing the Rack on Concrete Floors
To install the rack on a concrete floor:

1. Drill the required mounting holes in accordance with the appropriate template. See diagram a. in the
figure "Mounting diagrams for ETSI racks", and diagram a. or b. in the figure "Mounting diagrams for
19” and 23” racks" (Rack Installation on Wooden Floors).

NPT-1200 Installation and Maintenance Manual Rack Installation
2. Insert expansion shields into the holes.

3. Position the rack over the mounting holes.
4. Secure the rack to the floor with the bolts supplied in the mounting kit, in accordance with diagram b.
or diagram c. in the figure "Mounting diagrams for 19” and 23” racks" (Rack Installation on Wooden
Floors).
8.1.3 Installing the Rack on Wooden Floors
To install the rack on a wooden floor:

1. Drill the required mounting holes in accordance with the appropriate template (see the following
figures), using a 5 mm drill bit.
3. Secure the rack to the floor using the appropriate wood screws (see the following figures).

Figure 8-1: Mounting diagrams for ETSI racks

Figure 8-2: Mounting diagrams for 19" and 23" racks
8.1.4 Installing the Rack on Floating (Suspended) Floors
To install the rack on a floating (suspended) floor:

1. Drill the required mounting holes in the suspended floor, in accordance with the appropriate
template.
3. Secure the rack to the floor in accordance with diagram c. in the figure "Mounting diagrams for ETSI
racks" (Rack Installation on Wooden Floors).

8.1.5 Installing the Rack on Suspended Overhead Trays
To install the rack on a suspended overhead tray:

1. See the following figure and position the overhead rack securing brackets.
2. Secure the rack to the overhead cabling trays, using the adjustable brackets. 2200 mm high racks may
also be attached to the ceiling; 2600 mm racks are generally attached only to the ceiling.
Figure 8-3: Rack mounting diagram for attachment to suspended overhead tray (2200 mm rack)
8.1.6 Installing Extendable Rails

In high-density installations, it may be necessary to install the xRAP above the rack using the extendable
installation rails available from ECI.
In this case, attach the extendable installation rails to the top of the rack before installing the equipment.
8.1.7 Grounding the Rack

Immediately after installing the rack, connect its grounding stud to the prescribed grounding point on the
site grounding bar.
Use a grounding lead that meets the requirements described in Rack Grounding Requirements.

8.2 Installing 19" Racks

The NPT-1200 can also be installed in European 19” racks. This is accepted under the limitations that the
rack’s general dimensions are according to the following figure. Any other European 19” rack must first be
examined and approved by ECI.
