The AK3000 DS3 product family enables point to point transport of DS3 and fractional DS3 services over bonded pairs of copper,
optimized for CSA distances (9kft 26AWG or 12kft 24AWG). The AK3000 family consists of DS3 Central Office and Remote
cards that plug into a 1RU high housing for 19” and 23” racks and for wall mounting. The remote card is either line powered by
the Central Office card or locally powered. Aktino products utilize a technology “MIMO on DMT” which uses coordinated signal
processing over multiple transceivers to achieve significant performance improvements over standard DSL technology. Refer to
the AK3000 DS3 Technical Practice (180-0005-001) for more comprehensive information and troubleshooting.
Installation is identical for both the CO and RT ends.
#1 Mounting (see Figure 1)
The AK3000 Family’s shelf (AK100S) can be mounted in
either 19 inch or 23 inch racks. The AK100S chassis
includes flanges for both 19 and 23 inch mounting. Screws
for mounting to both the chassis and the rack are included.
Mounting holes are provided for flush or mid mount. The
unit can also be mounted on a wall using either 19 or 23 inch
flanges. An optional hinged bracket (AK100B) is available
for easier wall mounted access.
#2 Connections (see Figure 2)
Frame Ground Connection
The Ground Lug located on the right hand side of the back
panel can accommodate up to 6 AWG wire. Use a wire
gauge for grounding at least as heavy as the power wiring.
Attach the grounding wire to the AK100S Ground Lug to a
nearby grounding screw on the equipment rack or facility
ground. Note that the ground connection is required for
proper system operation.
Power Connection
A 7.5A to 10A UL listed fuse/circuit breaker must be
installed ahead of this unit.
To access the power block, the Protective Cap located on the
left hand side of the back panel must be removed. Unscrew
the captive screw on the right side of the Protective Cap,
slide the cap to the left and lift off. Labels of the power
block and wirewrap connections are silk screened on the
Protective Cap as well as the back panel.
Two redundant power buses are provided (A and B). The
two power inputs are identical and can be used for redundant
power configurations.
Insert the ends of the -48 Vdc and Return power wires (16
AWG wire is recommended) into the A and B holes on the
left side of the power block. Route the power wires towards
the left of the back panel so that the Protective Cap can be
reinstalled.
Alarm Connections
The alarm wirewrap connections are located under the
Protective Cap. Unscrew the captive screw on the right side
of the Protective Cap, slide the cap to the left and lift off.
Labels of the wirewrap connections are silk screened on the
Protective Cap as well as the back panel. Each alarm
consists of a three pin wire wrap header. These are generally
only used on the CO end.
DS3 Connection
Attach the transmit and receive DS3 coax cables to the In
and Out BNC connectors on the back panel. 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 Connection
Ethernet 1 female RJ-45 port (located on the back panel) can
be used for local or remote management access. The
Ethernet port automatically is set to either 10BaseT or
100BaseT and auto-sense the polarity of TX/RX (automatic
MDIX). Ethernet 2 port is not available.
Caution To order to comply with the intrabuilding
lightning surge requirements, intrabuilding Ethernet
management wiring must be shielded, and the shield for the
wiring must be grounded at both ends.
The back panel RS232 modem port can be used for local or
remote management access. The port is set for PPP
communication for telnet or AktinoView GUI access.
The front panel Craft port is used for command line access
using a terminal emulator program; AktinoView is not
supported on the craft port except for IP initialization.
Management is generally attached at the CO end.
MSPAN Connection
The MSPAN connector is used to connect the AK3000 to the
outside plant pairs. The CO MSPAN cable should be
shielded with a pigtail wire that attaches to the ground lug
just above the MSPAN connector. The RT MSPAN cable’s
shield should NOT be connected to ground (leave open).
The MSPAN cable is female. Tie wrap points are available
in several places on the back panel. The MSPAN cable can
be routed to the left or right.
Table 1 specifies the standard 50 pin AMP connector pin
assignments.

#3 Provisioning (see Table 2)
AktinoView software is used to provision and monitor the
system. Use AktinoView V3 to access the most up to date
features available. Load AktinoView software onto the
maintenance computer per the instructions on the CDROM
package.
Configuring CO Management Ethernet Port
AktinoView uses the Ethernet port 1 for access to the Aktino
unit. Generally, the CO unit is used to set up the system; the
RT unit can be provisioned through the CO unit.
Use one of the two following procedures to configure the
unit’s Management Ethernet port.
Method #1: Initialization using the front panel Craft port
1) Connect a serial cable between the maintenance
computer and the Aktino unit’s front panel craft port.
2) Start a terminal program such as HyperTerminal on the
maintenance computer. Parameters are 9600 baud, eight
bits, no parity bits, 1 stop bit, and no handshake.
3) After the unit has finished booting, a prompt
“AKxxxx>” should appear, where xxxx is the part
number of the unit. At the prompt, type
act-user::loginname:::password; See *Note below for
loginname and password values.
4) You will be prompted to enter the following
information:
Enter TID [CO]:
Enter IPAddress [192.168.10.1]:
Enter NetMask [255.255.255.0]:
Enter Gateway [0.0.0.0]:
Enter ProxyIP-Address[0.0.0.0]: (CO only)
Enter Date (yyyy-mm-dd)[2005-08-11]: (CO only)
Enter Time (hh-min-sec)[13-03-24]: (CO only)
5) Inputs can be modified with AktinoView at a later time.
Hit enter to use the default value in the brackets.
6) Exit the terminal program.
Method #2: Initialization using the Management
Ethernet port
1) Connect an Ethernet cable between the maintenance
computer and the Aktino unit’s Management Ethernet 1
port located on the back of the chassis.
2) The Aktino CO and RT units have a factory default IP
address of 192.168.10.1 and 192.168.10.2 respectively.
3) Configure the maintenance computer’s IP address to
192.168.10.3 and Netmask to 255.255.255.0. Note the
maintenance computer’s original settings.
4) Run AktinoView using 192.168.10.1 (CO) or
192.168.10.2 (RT) as the IP address for the Aktino unit.
Enter the user name and the password*.
5) If desired, the Aktino units can now be provisioned with
AktinoView.
6) If adding the Aktino unit to the local LAN, in the
AktinoView GUI, under “Tools” in the top menu bar,
select “Quick Provisioning”.
7) Configure the Aktino unit’s desired IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway address for the local LAN.
8) Exit AktinoView.
9) Reconfigure the maintenance computer’s IP address to
original setting.
Provisioning with AktinoView V3
Connect the Aktino unit’s Ethernet 1 port to the local LAN.
Once the Management Ethernet port has been set up,
AktinoView V3 should be started to provision the circuit.
See Table 2 below for common provisioning parameters
under the AktinoView V3 Provisioning tab.

#4 System Health Verification
As soon as power is applied to the CO unit (and the RT unit
if locally powered), the system automatically starts up. The
front panel indicators show the status of the system (see
Figure 3 and Table 4). If any of the LED’s is not Normal,
AktinoView can be used to determine the source of the
problem.
AktinoView main status screen shows an overview of the
system. Performance monitoring for DS3, MSPAN, and
PAIRS is available through the menu tabs. Current system
alarms (see Table 3) are displayed on the main status screen.
Alarm history and logs are available through the menu tabs.
