Introduction
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 the Fiber Remote Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE)
service.
It describes the operation of the fiber-optic equipment and provides
specific information on how to install and maintain this equipment as an
integral part of a system. Fiber Remote IPE 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.

“Functional description” (page 23)
“Engineering guidelines” (page 32)

IntroductionThis section describes Fiber Remote Intelligent Peripheral Equipment
(IPE), its architecture, and its hardware options. It also describes how to
plan and engineer a fiber-optic link.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
CAUTION
When working with fiber-optic cables, it is necessary to adhere
to standard precautions used for optical fibers. Before handling
optical fibers, take necessary training and become certified in
working with fiber-optic cables.
System overview
CS 1000M Large Systems and Meridian 1 Large Systems are Private
Branch Exchanges (PBX) that link local subscribers to private and public
networks and provide many functions and features.

16 Product description
Large Systems can also support remote subscribers. To do this, these
systems can be configured in a distributed system, using Remote IPE
modules or small cabinets. Fiber-optic links are used to connect the
Remote IPE modules and small cabinets to the PBXs.
In a distributed system, subscriber connections are the same at local
IPE modules as they are at Remote IPE modules or small cabinets.
Furthermore, because Remote IPE equipment uses common and network
equipment from the local system, subscriber functions and features are
the same at local and remote sites.
This document focuses on the system and Remote IPE equipment
specifically designed to provide fiber-optic links between network functions
in the local system and peripheral controller functions in the Remote IPE.
Physical architecture
To configure a system with Fiber Remote IPE, install a floor-standing
column or wall-mounted cabinet at a remote site and connect it using
fiber-optic links to an existing local system.
System equipment specifically designed to support the fiber-optics
interface is as follows:
•an NT1P61 Fiber Superloop Network card, which is housed in a local
system network card slot
•an NT1P62 Fiber Peripheral Controller card, which is housed in the
Remote IPE module or cabinet
•NT1P63 Electro-optical interface packlets, installed onto the Fiber
Superloop Network card and the Fiber Peripheral Controller card to
provide a fiber-optic link between the local system and Remote IPE
•an optional NT1P63 Electro-optical interface packlet at each site to
provide a redundant fiber-optic link
•an NT1P70 wall-mounted cabinet for the remote site
•NT1P75AA fiber-optic patchcords, one for each Electro-optical packlet
•NT1P79AA fiber-optic cable between the fiber management frame and
the Fiber Peripheral Controller in the wall-mounted cabinet and the
floor-standing column
•NT1P76AA cable connecting the Fiber Superloop Network card to the
I/O panel and providing Serial Data Interface (SDI) and system monitor
ports
•NT1P78AA cable connecting the Fiber Peripheral Controller card to the
I/O panel and providing TTY and system monitor ports

System overview 17
Figure 1 "Local system to Remote IPE fiber-optic links" (page
17) illustrates a Large Systemand Remote IPE equipment linked with
fiber-optic cables. The only equipment specifically designed to support this
configuration are the cards and the cabinet listed above.
Figure 1
Local system to Remote IPE fiber-optic links
At the local site, fiber-optic cables contain fiber-optic connectors mounted
on the I/O panel connector slots at the rear of the network module. At the
remote site, fiber-optic cable connectors are also installed on the I/O panel
connector slots at the rear of the floor-standing Remote IPE module. For
the wall-mounted Remote IPE cabinet, the fiber-optic link cable from the
fiber management frame is connected directly to the FC/PC fiber-optic
connectors of the Electro-optical packlets located on the Fiber Peripheral
Controller card.
Subscriber loops at the Remote IPE are connected to 50-pin connectors
on the I/O panel at the rear of the module or at the bottom front of the
cabinet. For more details about subscriber connections to the local system
and the Remote IPE, refer to Communication Server 1000M and Meridian
1 Large System Installation and Commissioning (NN43021-310) ().

18 Product description
Select one of two options for the Remote IPE enclosure:
•floor-standing Remote IPE module
•wall-mounted Remote IPE cabinet
Floor-standing Remote IPE
The floor-standing Remote IPE comprises a pedestal, one or more IPE
modules, and a top cap. The IPE module houses a maximum of 16 line
cards and a Fiber Peripheral Controller card. The communication and
signaling between the local system Central Processing Unit (CPU) and the
Fiber Peripheral Controller card Micro Processing Unit (MPU) is performed
over the fiber-optic link. The fiber-optic link also transmits voice and data
information originating and terminating at Remote IPE subscriber stations.
Figure 2 "Floor-standing Fiber Remote IPE column" (page 18) illustrates
the front view of the floor-standing Remote IPE column with the cross
section of the rear of the module showing the I/O panel. The front
view shows the location of the Fiber Peripheral Controller card and
the fiber-optic cables that connect the fiber-optic interface on the Fiber
Peripheral Controller to the optical I/O panel at the rear of the IPE module.

System overview 19
Wall-mounted Remote IPE cabinet
The NT1P70 main is a wall-mounted Remote IPE cabinet that houses a
maximum of 10 line cards and a Fiber Peripheral Controller card. The
communication and signaling between the local system CPU and the Fiber
Peripheral Controller card MPU is performed over the fiber-optic link. The
fiber-optic link also transmits voice and data information originating and
terminating at the Remote IPE subscriber stations.
To expand the number of line cards from 10 to 16, use the first six card
slots in the NTAK12 expansion cabinet. Card slots 7 through 12 in the
expansion cabinet are not configurable and must not be used. The
expansion cabinet is connected to the Fiber Peripheral Controller card
housed in the main cabinet with a cable. This allows the Fiber Peripheral
Controller card to control the line cards in both cabinets.
Wall-mounted main and expansion cabinets can be AC- or DC-powered.
The power source is directly connected to the shelf power supply for the
AC-powered system and to the shelf power converter for the DC-powered
system.
Figure 3 "Wall-mounted Remote IPE cabinet" (page 20) illustrates the
front view of the NT1P70 wall-mounted Remote IPE cabinet. It shows the
location of the Fiber Peripheral Controller card and the Electro-optical
packlet on the Fiber Peripheral Controller card. A blank packlet is used in
the lower packlet position of the Fiber Peripheral Controller faceplate for a
nonredundant link configuration in both the floor-standing IPE module and
the wall-mounted cabinet.

Functional architecture
Fiber Remote IPE functions are controlled by the local system CPU
and the firmware in the Fiber Superloop Network and Fiber Peripheral
Controller cards. The CPU uses software instructions to execute call
processing, administration, and diagnostic functions. These functions can
be divided into three basic categories:
•CPU functions
•Network functions
•IPE functions
Figure 4 "Functional architecture" (page 21) illustrates the system
functional architecture in a broad block diagram to show the three basic
types of functions and system modules supporting these functions.
