The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. The certification means that
the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective operations and safety requirements. The
Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In
some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of
a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the
above conditions may not prevent the degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the
supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines

Chapter 1
Installing a Net Module
This chapter describes tasks that you perform to install a net module in an ASN.
Each of the synchronous net modules requires the ASN to be running a specific
version of router software as follows:
•The Dual Sync net module requires Version 8.00 or later.
•The Quad Sync net module requires Version 11.00 or later.
To install a net module:
1. Remove the ASN component tray.
2. Attach the antistatic wrist strap.
3. Remove the filler brackets.
4. Remove the net module you want to replace from the ASN (if necessary).
5. Install the new net module.
6. Replace the filler brackets.
7. Disconnect the antistatic wrist strap.
8. Replace the component tray.
Note:
Experienced network operators can safely perform the user-serviceable
procedures that are described in this book.

Removing the Component Tray
You need a Phillips screwdriver to complete this procedure.
To remove the component tray:
1.
Power off the ASN.
2.
Detach all cables, including the power cable, from the ASN back panel.
3.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws that fasten the
tray to the chassis (Figure 1-1).

Hold the sides and bottom of the tray to support it as you slide it out.
Try to keep the tray level as you slide it out.
4.
Place the tray on a sturdy work surface.
Caution:
Do not touch any components or boards in the ASN until you have
attached an antistatic wrist strap. See the next section, “Attaching the
