About this document
This document is a global document. Contact your system supplier or your
Nortel representative to verify that the hardware and software described
are supported in your area.
Subject This Nortel technical publication (NTP) provides information specific to the
implementation of fiber-optic links that connect a local system to multiple
Remote IPE modules using a pair of Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface units.
It describes the operation of the Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface equipment
and provides specific information on how to install and maintain this
equipment as an integral part of the local system. Fiber Remote Multi-IPE
Interface configuration procedures are identical to the equivalent non-fiber
equipment. However, there are some additional software commands
that can be executed using the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) terminal to
specifically control fiber-optic equipment.

IntroductionThis section describes the Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface, its architecture,
and its hardware options. It also describes how to plan and engineer
a fiber-optic link that connects the local and the remote Fiber Remote
Multi-IPE Interface units.
System overview
CS 1000M Large Systems and Meridian 1 Large Systems are Private
Branch Exchanges (PBXs) that link local subscribers to private and public
networks and provide a large number of subscriber functions and features.
In addition to supporting local subscribers, a Large System can be
configured using Remote IPE modules as a distributed system that supports
remote subscribers. The Remote IPE modules are connected to the local
system at long distances using fiber-optic links at a transmission speed
of 45 Mbps.
Subscriber connections at local IPE modules are the same as the Remote
IPE modules. The subscriber functions and features at the local site are
also the same as for the Remote IPE site.
This document focuses on the Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface equipment
specifically designed to provide fiber-optic links between the network
functions in the local system and the peripheral controller functions in the

Remote IPE. It also describes how and where to install and how to configure
the Superloop Network and Peripheral Controller cards that support the
Remote IPE application.
Figure 1 "Local system to Remote IPE connection over the fiber-optic
link" (page 15) illustrates a Large System and the application of the Fiber
Remote Multi-IPE Interface and the fiber-optic link to connect the Remote
IPE site with the local site.
System description
The Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface links the local system with one or
more Remote IPE sites to provide the same functionality to these Remote
IPE sites. Each Remote IPE shares local common and network equipment
to provide the same functions and features to remote subscribers that are
available to local subscribers.
To explain the implementation of Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface functions,
the following are described:
•Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface physical architecture
•Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface functional architecture
Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface physical architecture
To configure a system with one or more Remote IPEs, one or more IPE
modules can be installed at a remote site and connected to an existing
system using a pair of Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface units: one at the
local site and another at the Remote IPE site. These two Fiber Remote
Multi-IPE Interface units are connected by a fiber-optic link at a distance of
up to 15 miles over a single-mode optical fiber.

Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface options
The Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface is available in the following four
different options:
•Single-mode fiber supporting four superloop
•Single-mode fiber supporting two superloops
•Multi-mode fiber supporting four superloops
•Multi-mode fiber supporting two superloops
These Fiber Remote Multi–IPE Interface options allow you to configure the
superloop connections at the remote site the same way they are configured
for the IPE modules at the local site. A Superloop Network card can be
connected to support one to eight segments in an IPE module the same
way it supports them in a local IPE module. A Superloop Network card can
support a co-located IPE module with, for example, the superloop extended
from the faceplate connector J1 and the Remote IPE site with the superloop
extended from the faceplate connector J2 at the same time.

16 Product description
Table 2 "Superloop connection configurations" (page 16) shows how the
superloop connections can be configured and which Fiber Remote Multi-IPE
Interface should be used to connect to the Remote IPE site. The superloop
configuration selected depends on the traffic requirements at the remote
site. If non-blocking is required, three or four superloops for each fully
equipped Remote IPE module might be required. If call blocking is not an
issue, a single superloop can be used for this application.
Note: Up to four superloop links are supported by a pair of Fiber Remote
Multi-IPE Interface units: one unit at each end of the fiber-optic link.
Table 2 "Superloop connection configurations" (page 16) lists various
superloop-to-peripheral-controller connection combinations. It shows the
connections from the Superloop Network card faceplate connectors J1 and
J2 to the Remote IPE backplane connectors SL0 through SL3. Internal
cables connect J1 and J2 to the network I/O panel at the local site and
similarly, internal cables connect SL0-SL3 backplane connectors to the
Remote IPE I/O panel. From these I/O panels, the external cables connect
to the Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface units.

From Table 2 "Superloop connection configurations" (page 16), the following
can be concluded for each configuration:
•One segment per superloop. Requires transmission of four superloop
links over the Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface and the fiber-optic link
to a single Remote IPE module. Note that each Remote IPE module is
divided into four segments. Call connections are not blocked.
• Two segments per superloop. Requires transmission of two superloop
links over the Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface and the fiber-optic link to
each Remote IPE module. Minimal to no call blocking.
•Four segments per superloop. Requires transmission of one
superloop link over the Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface and the
fiber-optic link to each Remote IPE module. Call blocking in high traffic
conditions.
• Eight segments per superloop. Requires transmission of two
superloop links over the Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface and the
fiber-optic link to two Remote IPE modules. Call blocking in high traffic
conditions.
• One segment for one superloop and three segments for the second
superloop. Requires transmission of two superloops over the Fiber
Remote Multi-IPE Interface and the fiber-optic link to a single Remote
IPE module. No call blocking for one segment, blocking for the rest.
• Two segments for one superloop and six segments for another two
superloops. Requires transmission of three superloops over the Fiber
Remote Multi-IPE Interface and the fiber-optic link to two Remote IPE
modules. Minimal blocking for the first four segments in one IPE module
and blocking for the last four segments in the second IPE module.
Note: Each segment example in Table 2 "Superloop connection
configurations" (page 16) is configured over a pair of Remote
Multi-IPE Interface units as shown in Figure 1 "Local system to
Remote IPE connection over the fiber-optic link" (page 15).
