Introduction 8DG 07734 FAAA Ed. 01 13/102
1 INTRODUCTION
The current procedure defines the commissioning modality for the 1850 TSS-320 equipment.
Particular attention is given to the fact that each component utilized on the links is tested at the
Factory’s Final Acceptance dept. during the system test phase.
The real conditions of the plant are simulated during this phase, i.e., the line is a real suitably long
Optical Fiber line and the equipment is configured according to customer requirements and to the Link
Description Table (LDT) supplied by the Link designers.
The documentation of the tests carried out during the system test phase is provided with the
equipment (TRS+LDT).
All the measurements necessarily executed to correctly insert the equipment into the network are
repeated on site. To this concern, reference is made to the results of the factory tests carried out on
the system.

1.2 Safety, labels and norms
WHEN CARRYING OUT THE GIVEN OPERATIONS OBSERVE THE NORMS STATED IN THE
COMMON TECHNICAL HANDBOOK (see [2] on page 11)
1.2.1 Main Safety Rules
The Safety Rules describe the operations and/or precautions to observe to safeguard operating
personnel during the working phases and to guarantee equipment safety.
Please read them properly before starting each action on the equipment.
SAFETY
Carefully observe the front-panel warning labels prior to working on the optical
connections while the equipment is in-service.
1.2.2 General Rules
- Check that the equipment is operating with all the shields properly positioned (dummy covers,
ESD connector protections, etc.)
- Carefully observe the front-panel warning labels prior to working on optical connections while the
equipment is in-service
- To reduce the risk of damaging the electrostatic sensitive devices, it is mandatory to use the
elasticized band (worn around the wrist) and the coiled cord connected to the rack ground when
having to touch the equipment.
- All measures must be done at the ODF/DDF points (ODF= Optical Distribution Frame, DDF=
Digital Distribution Frame).
FIXING THE UNITS (AND MODULES) INTO THE SUBRACK
(caution to avoid equipment damage)
The screw tightening torque for fixing the units (and modules, if any and if screw-
fastened) into the subrack must be:
2.8 kg x cm (0.28 Newton x m) ± 10 %
Exceeding this value may result in screw breaking.

2.4.2.1 Software download at the first installation
For the 1850TSS connection points, refer to Figure 1 on page 27.
To perform the SW download procedure, it is requested to have installed a FTP server application. In
this example “1850” is both username and password of this application.
a) Connect the PC 9-pin COM1 port to the EC320 mUSB debugger port (18) by means of the
debugger cable
b) On PC, select Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Communication -> Hyperterminal -> and
perform the following settings (it is suggested to save these settings to have a faster access in
the following connections)
Select COM1
- Bit per seconds 38,400
- Data bits 8
- Parity None
- Stop Bits 1
- Flow control None
and click on Apply.
Click on File -> Properties and select “VT100” in Emulation field.
c) Connect the PC Ethernet port to the EC320 ETH (LAN) port (20) by means of the Ethernet cable
In the following, the commands to be entered by the operator are in bold. After typing the command,
press ENTER.
d) # reboot
e) when the program indicates PRESS CRTL\-C to stop the boot sequence, enter CTRL\-C
f) # login root
g) # disk-init FORMAT HARDDISK (to format the hard disk)
h) # disk-init MOUNT
i) insert the USB key (on which the “keyfsimage” file have to be present) in the EC320 USB
connector (19)
j) # key-init
Two different procedures can be performed:
• Loading procedure with SW package on PC hard disk
• Loading procedure with SW package on USB key
These procedures are described in the following paragraphs.
