Basic equipment configuration
The AN2016 AccessNode system consists of the:
• AccessNode fiber-optic based network system
• ac and dc power distribution
• a rectifier/charger
• battery backup
• surge protection center (SPC) that provides primary protection for VF and
T1 pairs
The basic system can be enhanced and configured as needed to meet a wide
variety of application requirements.
For detailed information regarding AccessNode systems and equipment, refer
to Configuration and Equipment Description, 323-3001-100, in Description,
Volume 2A.
Configurations of the AN2016 AccessNode cabinet include the following:
• 672-line AccessNode system
• 864-line AccessNode system
• 1344-line AccessNode system
• 2016-line AccessNode system
672-line AccessNode system
This configuration is the basic AccessNode system providing in a modular
structure a 672 lines capacity. One access bandwidth manager (ABM) shelf is
required to support the system capacity. The AccessNode system is equipped
with 7 copper-distribution shelves that provide up to 96 lines each.
The 1–672 VF lines are routed from the system out to the surge protection
center (SPC). You can splice the VF lines directly into the outside plant (OSP)
cables.
The system configuration provides two feeders: optical fiber and DS-1. The
optical fiber feeder uses the virtual tributary bandwidth manager (VTBM)
OC-12 for interface with the central office.
Optical fiber lines from the outside plant are brought into the cabinet, spliced
into the optional optical fiber manager and then routed to the ABM#1 shelf.
The outbound optical fiber use either the optional Soneplex or DDM+ loop
extender shelf.
DS-1 lines from the outside plant that are brought into the cabinet and
terminated by the 3M 4005 connector system are conducted through the surge
protection center. Then the DS-1 lines are routed into the optional Sonoplex or
