Do not attempt to adjust the laser drive current. Do not use broken or non-terminated fiber optic cables/connectors or look straight at the laser beam.
  • Page 5 Safety Precautions & Declared Material Static electricity may cause bodily harm, as well as harm to electronic components inside the device. Anyone responsible for the installation or maintenance of the IDU must use an ESD Wrist Strap. ESD protection measures must be observed when touching the IDU. To prevent damage, before touching components inside the device, all electrostatic must be discharged from both personnel and tools.

  • Page 56 Initial Setup for Intrepid-HC HP/T IDU Initial Setup Steps for up to 9+1 Configuration Cascading two Intrepid-HC HP/T IDUs at each site enables a configuration of up to 9+1 (10 carriers), or XPIC 7+1 with two additional carriers. The setup steps for a configuration of up to 9+1, are identical to those of the configuration of up to 4+1 (see above) except for the following differences: You must configure all six IDCs using the HyperTerminal.
  • Page 57 192.114.35 (for 1 to 255). If Intrepid-HC HP/T has a frame to send to a host that is not on the Ethernet IP netid or the serial IP netid, the frame should be sent to an intelligent device (usually a gateway) on the network.
  • Page 58 192.168.1.65 - 192.168.1.126, and has a broadcast address of 192.168.1.127. It is assumed that the Intrepid-HC HP/T at site A has a single GNE 1 assigned to one of the IDCs. All three IDCs at site A have direct out-of-band IP connectivity with remote management applications (NMS, SNMP Agent, Telnet).
  • Page 59 East/West chaining. Two NE IDCs (NE 2 and NE 3), at the same site, are connected over a PPPoE link. This scheme allows four links of up to 7+1 (eight Intrepid-HC HP/T shelves, as shown, or sixteen shelves cascaded in pairs) chained through the same NMS/SNMP Agent management, when IP addresses are allocated as described above.
  • Page 60 High protocol timing constraints (SNMP/TFTP) are expected in Intrepid-HC HP/T link chains due to the large number of hops (each East/West site adds two in-band routing hops), and a large number of managed IDC nodes. The following slight optimization may be useful for a chain topology (but not for a ring): One of the in-band NE management channels is configured as a Default GNE Direction, assuming the channel leads to the nearest GNE under normal conditions.
  • Page 61 Important: After you set up IP addresses, restart the IDUs to activate them. Repeat the steps above for the remaining IDCs in the Intrepid-HC HP/T IDU. Setup Options in the Terminal Program The main menu in the terminal setup program includes the following options: Configuration (1) - the main setup section in which you can configure the IDC, the right and left drawers, protection, SNMP management, in-band routing, and other such parameters.
