1.0 PRODUCT OVERVIEW AND FEATURES
1.1 Introduction
Lindsay Broadband LB-1000 3RU Optical Headend Access Platform is a converged headend, hub
access platform to enable cable operators and services providers to build, migrate or upgrade their
existing analog and/or digital networks to meet ever growing demand for advanced Video, HSD and
VOIP services.
The LB-1000 optical transmission chassis is a standard 19-inch width chassis, 3RU platform which
can accommodate 18 application modules. The standard chassis supports both 1 GHz and 1.2 GHz
modules. The back-plane interface provides inter-module communication and power distribution.
The user-friendly management interface module with a built-in TFT color touch screen displays the
status of each module. The management module supports WEB GUI management and advanced
SNMP oriented network management via standard Ethernet network interface.
The LB-1000 Optical Headend Access Platform simplifies cable operator’s transition to fiber deep
HFC and next generation FTTx architecture by offering a complete range of hot swappable, robust
optical application modules for HFC, RFoG, PON and video overlay related applications.
1.2 Features
•3RU high, 19-inch width standard chassis
•Can support up to 18 application modules per chassis (both 1 GHz & 1.2 GHz)
•Network management control module mounted in the rightmost slot
•Redundant AC-DC power modules (or DC-DC power modules)
•Hot-swappable design. Blind-mating features allows each application module to be
added/removed without any tools making it convenient and fast.
•Control Module with a 3.5” TFT provides monitoring and setup. Touch screen folds into
control module to save space.

2.0 SAFETY NOTES
Failure to comply with these safety precautions and with the general or specific safety precautions
described elsewhere in the LB-1000 series manual violates the safety standards of the design,
manufacture, and intended use of the device. Lindsay Broadband Inc. assumes no liability for the
customer’s failure to comply with these precautions.
CAUTION: Ensure that the correct input voltage is available on AC or DC power entry port of the
"LB-1000 Power Supply module".
CAUTION: Do not operate the chassis outside of its maximum ratings. Doing so may result in
unsatisfactory performance, unit failure, shortened unit life span, or a safety hazard.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to modify or service any part of this chassis not specifically referred to
as replaceable in this manual. Doing so voids the warranty. Return the chassis to company for
service and repair.
CAUTION: No chassis should be operated in an ambient environment above 50ºC (122ºF).
CAUTION: Store the chassis away from corrosive materials, at a temperature between -40 and
+85ºC (-40 to +185ºF), and with no more than 95% humidity, non-condensing.
CAUTION: Two people are required to install the chassis. The chassis should be installed without
modules.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the touchscreen LCD, please do not tap it with anything sharp or
apply excessive pressure to it with your fingertips. It is recommended to use fingers when you use
the touch screen LCD.
Special symbols that possibly appear on the equipment
NO SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

4.0 UNPACKING AND CHECKING
All units are tested and inspected before shipment and found to be free of mechanical and electrical
defects. However, upon receiving your products:
1. Examine all shipping containers for any damage due to transit.
2. Unpack all modules and chassis.

5.0 CHASSIS INSTALLATION AND INITIAL SETUP
5.1 Installation
The chassis is designed to be installed into a standard EIA 19-inch-wide rack.
1) Mount the chassis into the rack in an indoor environment following these guidelines:
•Do not block the front or back panel of any chassis.
•Maintain sufficient space in front of and behind the rack for air circulation.
2) Align the mounting holes in each of the front flanges of the chassis with holes in the rack.
Figure 2: Installation in 19 inch rack
3) Install and tighten all four mounting flange screws securely.
4) The LB-1000 comes with the requested AC or DC Power Supply module(s) pre-installed in
the LB-1000-CH chassis. Please verify that the voltage on the power entry port of the Power
Supply module corresponds to the input voltage requirement to the chassis.
5) On connecting the correct input voltage to the input of the power supply of LB-1000-CH, the
chassis should turn ON and the 8 cooling fans located on the rear panel of the chassis should
run, indicating proper operation of the chassis.
6) Install all the appropriate modules into the chassis. Begin with installing the Control Module
first (on the right most slot of the chassis labelled “NM”).

7) The unique design of the LB-1000 headend platform enables users to install any application
module in any of the general slots in the chassis. There is no specific installation sequence
for the modules. They can be installed in any of the general slots as long as they are smoothly
pushed to the specified positions and fixed.
Tip: It may be beneficial to install, connect, and configure one module at a time. Also, installing
similar type modules (i.e., Forward Transmitters or Return Receivers) in groups can make the
process easier and fiber/coax management easier.

chassis housing. Using the handle completely push the application module into the slot. Once
the module is completely inserted into the slot, the latch on the bottom of the module will lock
into place with the LB-1000 chassis securing the module in the rack.
9) Ensure that the application module is reliably connected to the LB-1000-CH rear panel and
F-connectors. On successful connection, the module will automatically power on and the
status LED will turn ON.
10) If the module hasn’t been properly connected to the LB-1000-CH, it will not power up and
status LED will be OFF. In such a case, remove the application module from LB-1000-CH
slot and reinsert carefully as described in steps 8 and 9 above. See below step for safely
removing the module.
11) To remove the application module from the slot, press down on the latch located in the
bottom front of the module. The application module will unlock from the LB-1000-CH rack
and module will gently slide out. Safely draw out the module using the handle from the slot.
12) Repeat the above steps 8 to 11 to install the remaining modules in the chassis.
5.2 Power Supply Module
LB-1000 comes with an option of either using 105-264VAC or -48VDC power supply. The LB-1000
is shipped with the requested AC or DC PSU module(s) pre-installed in the chassis. The PSU’s are
installed in the two slots on the rear panel of the rack. They are inserted from the rear of the rack.
Their rear parts are locked by the cooling fan modules. When a power module is to be removed,
remove the cooling fan module first.

The rear panel of the power module has heat vents and connection for power and communication
transfer throughout the chassis. The front panel has heat dissipation vents, power fuse holder and
power supply handle.
The Power module has protective functions such as overload protection, over-voltage protection,
short-circuit protection, overheating protection, and start-up delay. A single power supply can
provide the required power for a fully-configured chassis. Dual-power supplies operate in load
sharing and redundant mode. The power supply status can be displayed on the control module or
monitored by standard SNMP network management software.
