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 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.
Note on legacy products and releases
This NTP contains information about systems, components, and features
that are compatible with Nortel Communication Server 1000 Release
5.5software. For more information on legacy products and releases, click

•Meridian 1 PBX 81C CP PII and CP PIV
Note: When upgrading software, memory upgrades may be required
on the Signaling Server, the Call Server, or both.
System migration
When particular Meridian 1systems are upgraded to run CS 1000 software
and configured to include a Signaling Server, they become CS 1000
systems. Table 1 "Meridian 1 systems to CS 1000 systems" (page 8) lists
each Meridian 1 system that supports an upgrade path to a CS 1000
system.
