Please observe the following precautions:
• Before turning on the chassis with optic module, make sure that the fiber optic
cable is intact and is connected to the transmitter.
• Do not attempt to adjust the laser drive current.
• Do not use broken or unterminated fiber-optic cables/connectors or look straight at the
laser beam.
• The use of optical devices with the equipment will increase eye hazard.
• Use of controls, adjustments or performing procedures other than those specified herein, may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
ATTENTION: The laser beam may be invisible!
Always observe standard safety precautions during installation, operation and maintenance of this
product. Only qualified and authorized service personnel should carry out adjustment, maintenance
or repairs to this product. No installation, adjustment, maintenance or repairs should be performed by
either the operator or the user.
All extension slots are not hot-swappable
Before operating modules in the electricity conditions, please be noticed that optical transceivers
shall be connected with optical fiber wires or shield with optical transceiver cover for fear that laser
light harms to operator’s eyes.
Handling Energized Products
General Safety Practices
Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may
be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or
a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous,
energy hazards may still exist.
Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, remove jewelry
or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts.
Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be grounded during normal use. Grounding
is provided by connecting the mains plug to a wall socket with a protective earth terminal. If an earth
lug is provided on the product, it should be connected to the protective earth at all times, by a wire
with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipment should be mounted only in earthed
racks and cabinets.
Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do not connect telecommunication
cables to ungrounded equipment. Make sure that all other cables are disconnected before
disconnecting the ground.
Connection of AC Mains
Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local codes.
Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective ground.
Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a power switch
is provided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot be readily
disconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible circuit breaker or emergency
switch is installed in the building installation.
Connection of DC Mains
Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in reference to
the ground. Any single pole can be externally grounded.
Due to the high current capability of DC mains systems, care should be taken when connecting the
DC supply to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards.
DC units should be installed in a restricted access area, i.e. an area where access is authorized only to
qualified service and maintenance personnel.
Make sure that the DC supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that the installation
complies with the local codes.
Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Locate
the circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position.
When connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to the corresponding terminal,
then the positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position.
A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be incorporated in
the building installation.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Modules which can be plugged into chassis are sensitive to damage from static electricity.
Conversely, static voltages as high as 35,000V can be generated just by handling plastic or foam
packing material, or by sliding assemblies across plastic and carpets. Not exercising the proper
electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions can result in intermittent or complete component failures.
To minimize the potential for ESD damage, observe the following guidelines:
• Always use an ESD-preventive antistatic wrist strap or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good
skin contact.
• When removing or installing a component, make sure the equipment end of your antistatic strap
leash is connected to the ESD connection sockets on the front of the chassis or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis. Avoid contact between the component and your clothing. The wrist strap only
protects the component from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on your clothing can still
cause component damage.
• Always place a card component-side-up on an antistatic surface, in an antistatic card rack, or in a
static shielding bag. If you are returning the item to the factory, immediately place it in a static
shielding bag.
• Handle Modules by the metal card carrier edges only; Avoid touching the board or any connector
pins.

Appendix B FAQ
For some problems you may meet during installation and operation, please try to solve them
following the suggestions below. For the problems can not be solved using the following suggestions,
please contact with distributors for technical support.
¾The power supply indicator PWR (green) wouldn’t turn ON.
Please check whether the power supply cable of the device is well connected and whether the
power supply switch has been turned on.
¾ The optical interface LOS indicator (red) turns ON.
This indicates that loss of receiving signal (LOS) alarm occurs at the optical interface.
Firstly, please check whether the fiber is well connected to the optical interface.
Secondly, please form a self loop using the fiber (may need attenuation). If the alarm still
exists, please replace the fiber and again form a self loop using the new fiber. If the optical
interface LOS indicator is still ON, there is problem with the device.
¾ The optical interface LOF indicator (red) turns ON.
Loss of frame alarm of the receiving signal at the optical interface occurs. Optical signal has
been received, but the optical power may be around the critical receiving sensitivity. Please
measure the receiving optical power and make sure that the TX interface of the optical
interface of the remote device has been well connected.
¾ Optical interface indicator E-3 (red) turns ON.
The bit error rate of the receiving signal at the optical interface exceeds 1E-3. Please check
whether the optical interface has been well connected and please measure the receiving
optical power as well.
¾ Optical interface indicator E-6 (yellow) turns ON.
The bit error rate of the receiving signal at the optical interface exceeds 1E-6. The E-6 alarm
may occur when the device is just electrified. This is a normal phenomenon and will last at
most 10 seconds before the E-6 indicator turns OFF. If the E-6 alarm occurs during the
normal operation of the device, please check whether the optical interface is well connected
and please measure the optical power.
¾ V.35 interface indicator AIS (red) turns ON.
When the device is working in unframed (transparent) mode, if the optical interface received
AIS signal, the indicator (red) will turn ON. If there is no break-off on the line, the cause of
the alarm may come from the following problems: maybe there is no router being connected
to the V.35 interface of the remote device; the remote router may power off; the V.35
interface of the remote router may be shut down. When working together with routers from
some manufacturers, since the V.35 interface of the remote router may mistakenly send out
AIS signal when it is in idle status, the situation that the indicator turns ON or flicker but the
communication is not affected may occurs. As the circumstance will not affect the
communication, please consider and accept it as a normal phenomenon.
¾ The V.35 interface suffers severe packet loss.
The possible causes are:
The clock setting is incorrect, which causes that the network is not working following one
clock.
Please check the V.35 interface status of the router. If there is any input or output data error,
the phase relationship of the RX CLK of the local or remote device may need adjustment.
¾ The E1 interface LOS (red) indicator turns ON.
E1 LOS alarm indicates lost of receiving signals at the E1 interface. There is no HDB3 code
input.
