Overview
Because of the complexity of the FSP 3000 C system, there are a lot of hardware
configurations. Providing the procedures for every possible configuration goes beyond
the scope of this chapter. Therefore, this chapter only provides procedures about
establishing internal and external optical connections, as well as client-side and network-
side connections.
Most traffic through the network element (NE) uses optical fibers. There are two classes
of traffic:
l Client side traffic is terminated within the site. Most of this traffic uses 850 nm or
1310 nm wavelengths. Single-mode (SM) or multimode (MM) fibers may be used
depending on the module type.
l Network side traffic will in most cases be terminated in another ADVA Optical
Networking NE at a different site. For network traffic, SM fibers are used.
Pairs of fiber-optic jumpers are used to connect various optical modules installed in a
single FSP 3000 C equipment shelf and within the NE (inter-shelf connections). The
equipment shelves may come with preterminated fiber optic cabling according to the
system configuration ordered.
The interconnection requirements are determined by your system configuration and can
be found in the optical cabling plan. The ports of the optical modules are connected with
respect to their logical sequence in the network. Optical connections are established from
client lines (CPE) via traffic modules through to the network line. In this way the fiber-
optic jumpers form the internal optical signal path of a single network element.
Labeling the optical connectors on the faceplate of each module is
explained in the appropriate traffic module chapter in PART1:
