Introduction
Aktino’s AK3000 family allows transport of DS3 or
Fractional DS3 over bonded copper pairs. A link
consists of a CO unit and an RT unit. Two types of CO
units are available, one that provides line powering of
the RT unit and one that does not. The RT unit is
capable of being line powered by the CO unit or locally
powered by a -48Vdc power supply.
The CO unit is mounted in CO racks or in Remote
Terminals. Both the CO and RT units are hardened for
operation in both CO and outside plant. The RT unit is
mounted at the customer premises in a rack or on a wall.
Both the CO and RT cards use the same chassis.
Multiple pairs are connected between the CO and RT
units. The Aktino units are rate adaptable which allows
DS3 rates at CSA reaches and Fractional DS3 rates over
CSA reaches.
The Aktino units are carrier class providing all the
required and familiar CO connections. Ease of
deployment is designed into the Aktino products to
make installation quick and easy.
This installation and maintenance practice goes through
the steps required for successful turnup. It is very
detailed to cover most questions and issues that may
arise during installation and maintenance. The Aktino
AK3000 Quick Installation guide (Document 180-0006-
001) is normally sufficient to install the product with the
practice used as a reference.
The steps are detailed in the table of contents.
Generally, steps are installation of the units at the CO
and customer premise, initialization of the management
IP address, quick provisioning, and system health
verification.
Figure 1 shows the typical application setup for the
Aktino product.

Installation
The AK100S chassis is used for both the CO and RT installations.
Mounting the Shelf
The Aktino AK3000 Family’s shelf (AK100S) can be
mounted in either 19 inch or 23 inch racks. The 19 and
23 inch flanges and mounting screws are included in
the installation kit. Mounting holes are provided for
flush or mid mount. Note that the mid mount flange
can be mounted forward or backward for either 5 or 6
inch recess. Figure 2 shows examples of 19 inch
flanges attached to the flush position and 23 inch
flanges attached to the mid mount position.
The unit can also be mounted on a wall using either 19
or 23 inch flanges. See Figure 3. An optional hinged
bracket (AK100B) is available for easier wall mounted
access.
It is not necessary for the flange to be bonded with the
frame; the AK100S Ground Lug on the back of the
shelf provides proper grounding.
NOTE The fan filter should be replaced every six
months. Ordering information can be found at the end
of this document.

-Minor, audio and visual
-SysID
-Alarm CutOff (ACO)
-Aux1, Aux2 Alarm In
Each alarm can be connected to Normally Open (NO)
or Normally Closed (NC) position. Use the Common
(COM) pin to complete the connection. SysID
wirewrap contacts can be used to identify the
equipment in alarm. SysID is active during any alarm
activation. Aux1 and Aux2 are input alarm dry contact
relay points. The Alarm CutOff (ACO) wirewrap pins
are input dry contact relay points used for remote
activation of ACO. The BITS Clock wirewrap pins are
reserved for future use.
DS3 Connection
Attach the transmit and receive DS3 coax cables to the
In and Out BNC connectors on the back panel (see
Figure 4 ). The IN connector’s shield can be grounded
or opened by the slide switch below the IN connector.
Generally, only one end of the DS3 coax cable shield
should be grounded.
Management Connections
