BG-64 Platform Overview

ECI Telecoms BG-64 miniature MSPP delivers a cost-effective and affordable
mix of Ethernet, SDH, PDH, and PCM services, resulting in new
revenue-generating opportunities. It offers a wide variety of features and
benefits, including:
Ultra-high scalability based on coupling the BG-30E to the BG-64 to make

a build-as-you-grow solution.
Gradual capacity expansion based on service provisioning needs. More

STM-4 interfaces can be added very conveniently and ADM-4s can be
upgraded to ADM-16s and ADM-16s to ADM-64 without affecting traffic.
This highly adaptable and flexible architecture translates into significant
savings in both operational and capital expenditures (OPEX and CAPEX).
Carrier class Ethernet-over-WAN/MAN solution (including Ethernet over

SDH and Ethernet over PDH) with SDH reliability, security, and
management of data services.
Sublambda grooming for high utilization of existing fiber and top

efficiency in transmission of different types of services.
PCM service interfaces and 1/0 digital cross-connect functions to facilitate

the construction and maintenance of various private networks.

Typical BG-64 Installation

See the figure Typical installation of six BG-64 shelves in an ETSI rack (page
3-7) for a typical installation of a BG-64 shelf in an ECI Telecom ETSI rack. In
this figure, six BG-64B shelves are shown.
In addition to the BG-64 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 BG-64
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 BG-64 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 BG-64 shelf and its FST, and another 50 mm free
between the FST and the next BG-64 shelf.
xDDF-21. When unbalanced E1 interfaces are needed, the xDDF-21 must

be installed with the BG-64. Each xDDF-21 can support 21 channels of E1.
The xDDF-21 can be installed anywhere on the same rack as the BG-64
shelf or on another rack.
ICP_MCP30. When an RS-232 or V.11 interface from the MCP64 is used,

the ICP_MPC30 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 BG-64 shelf.

Maintenance Manual
Integrating BG-64 Shelves and Other

Equipment in One Rack
BG-64 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 the event of additional equipment being installed on the rack, contact ECI
Telecoms Customer Support team for assistance.
Preparing Cables and Fibers

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.

Maintenance Manual
Before You Start
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 Telecom recommends the use of shielded power cables for DC power
connections, with the shields connected to the frame ground at the rack end
only.
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 mm 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 BG-64 platforms.
When the RAP is used to provide power to a single BG-64 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.
Shelf Power Cables

One 12 AWG cable, supplied by ECI Telecom, is used to connect the input
power from the rack RAP unit to the POWER IN connector on each INF_64
module of each BG-64 shelf installed in the rack.

Maintenance Manual
Alarm Cables
Alarm cables used within BG-64 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 BG-64 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 MCP64 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.
Management Cables
Out-of-band management traffic is connected to a BG-64 shelf via the RJ-45
(MNG) connector located on the front panel of the MCP64.
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).
Timing (Clock) Cables

The BG-64 shelf uses an RJ-45 connector on the MCP64 front panel that
integrates the two timing reference interfaces (2 x T3 and 2 x T4). If it has
balanced (120 ) G.703 interfaces, a multitwisted-pair cable with an RJ-45
connector (supplied by ECI Telecom) is used to connect timing signals from
the BG-64 to the site timing reference distribution subsystems.
If the site timing reference distribution subsystem has unbalanced (75 ) G.703
interfaces, configure an adapter with coaxial cables that provides
balanced-to-unbalanced conversion (supplied by ECI Telecom).

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 BG-64 module.
For each optical interface, ECI Telecom 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 BG-64 and for replacing fiber in case of
damage (splicing repairs).
When routing fibers, make sure to observe the minimum bending radius (35
mm).

Before You Start
Grounding Requirements
All the equipment, including BG-64 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.
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 .
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.

Maintenance Manual
Protection Against Electrostatic Discharge

This section provides guidelines regarding the protection of BG-64 equipment
and its components against electrostatic discharge (ESD) during handling,
packing/unpacking, transport, installation, commissioning, inspections,
servicing, and maintenance.
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 2-2: 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).
2-20
426006-2336-013-A03

Maintenance Manual
Before You Start
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.
Use of a Temporary EPA

Where necessary, use a temporary EPA. The EPA toolkit includes:
Wrist strap with 1 M series resistor
Bonding strap with 1 M 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.
426006-2336-013-A03
2-21
Before You Start

Maintenance Manual
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 M.
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:
2-22
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.

The sites at which installation is to be carried out comply with the

requirements listed in Site Preparation (page 2-4).
The preliminary preparations specified in Before You Start (page 2-1) have
been completed.
Before you start, determine what equipment is to be installed in the rack by

referring to the site installation plan, and note the exact position of each unit.
To avoid errors, it is recommended that you mark the prescribed positions on
the rack rails using a soft pencil.
Installation Sequence
Each component of the BG-64 system is supplied separately and must be
installed in the correct sequence according to the site plan.
A typical installation might include the equipment illustrated in the following
figure. The different components in the illustration are described in the
following table according to the steps.
NOTE: If you are not installing an FST for a particular BG-64
shelf, it is recommended that you leave empty space in the
rack in case optical modules are added in the future. If you
are not installing a BG-30E for a particular BG-64 shelf, it is
highly recommended that you leave enough empty space
(about 5U) above the BG-64 shelf in case one is added in the
future.
CAUTION:
3-2
If additional equipment is used in the rack, a heat buffer or

a buffer plate must be installed between such equipment
and the BG-64 shelf to minimize the transfer of heat from
shelf to shelf. This heat buffer must be purchased from
ECI Telecom.
During the installation of equipment in the rack, make
sure all the optical connectors are closed by protective
caps. Do not remove the cap until an optical fiber is
connected to the corresponding connector.

source. Each cable consists of two stranded copper leads with a cross section of
50 mm2 (0.078 in.2), one red and the other black. Each lead is terminated with a
compression lug from the installation parts kit supplied with the equipment.
NOTE: When the RAP-4B provides power to a single
BroadGate platform, lower gauge cables may be used. See
DC Power Cables for DC power cable requirements.
CAUTION: If appropriate leads have already been prepared
at the prescribed rack location, make sure that the leads are
not connected to any live voltage source before attaching the
lugs.
To prepare a DC power cable:

1. Strip about 22 mm (1 in.) of the red lead jacket.
2. Insert all lead strands into the lug sleeve.
3. Press at two or three different points on the lug sleeve using an appropriate
crimping tool and die. The recommended tools are Panduit CT-720
crimping tool with CD-720-2 die, Klauke K18 crimping tool with D50 die,
or equivalent.
It is recommended to use insulation tape (of the same color as the lead
jacket) between the cable lug and the cable itself.

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 BroadGate 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.

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.
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.

Network Timing Synchronization Test

This test checks that the BG-64 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.

This test verifies that the input sensitivity of the BG-64 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 BroadGate Product Line

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.
Severity Assignment Test

This test, which is performed on one BG-64 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 BG-64 and the
MJR LED on the BG-64 panel turns on.
2. Reconnect the fiber. The SPI LOS alarm on the management station clears
and the MJR LED on the BG-64 panel turns off (only if there are no other
alarms on the BG-64 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 BG-64 and the
MNR LED on the BG-64 panel turns on (only if there is no critical or
major alarm on the BG-64 unit).
5. Reconnect the fiber. The SPI LOS alarm on the management station clears
and the MNR LED on the BG-64 panel turns off (only if there is no other
alarm on the BG-64 unit).

Transmission Alarm-Handling Test

This test verifies that the BG-64 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.
Maintenance Action Test

This test verifies that maintenance actions can be performed in the BG-64 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 a 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 BG-64 platform. Another BG-64
platform reports a low-rate RDI (or high-rate RDI or MS-RDI) to the
management station.

Data Network Commissioning

Tests
The data network commissioning tests check that data functionality is in
accordance with system specifications.
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.
NOTES:
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).

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.
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.
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).

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.
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.

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 BG-64 system components.
This chapter assumes familiarity with the BG-64, with SDH data, and with the
LightSoft and EMS-BGF 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.

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.
Replacing Cards and Modules

Safety and Workmanship
Refer to Before You Start for safety and workmanship instructions.
CAUTION: Static Sensitive Devices
PROPER HANDLING AND GROUNDING
PRECAUTIONS REQUIRED
BG-64 equipment contains components sensitive to ESD. To
prevent ESD damage, strictly observe all the precautions
listed in Protection Against ESD (page 2-20). 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.

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 ) 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 Telecom offers a special cable for connecting the PME1_63 (see Traffic
Cable for PME1_63 (page 3-72).) 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 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 in the cable offered by ECI Telecoms Network Solutions
Division for connecting the tributary connector and a distribution frame. The
cable marking in the heading of each table refers to the 26 AWG cable
connected to the conversion box as designated in the cable description (see
Traffic Cable for PME1_63 (page 3-72)).

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

BroadGate 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 BroadGate 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 BroadGate 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.
