Cautions and Warnings
Definitions
Cautions indicate that there is the possibility of poor equipment performance or potential damage to
the equipment. Warnings indicate that there is the possibility of injury to person.
Cautions and Warnings appear here and may appear throughout this manual where appropriate. Failure
to read and understand the information identified by this symbol could result in poor equipment
performance, damage to the equipment, or injury to persons.
Cautions
Do not ship or store devices near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic, or radioactive fields.
Caution: When handling chassis Network Interface Devices (NIDs) observe electrostatic discharge precautions. This
requires proper grounding (i.e., wear a wrist strap).
Caution: Copper based media ports, e.g., Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet, USB, RS232, RS422, RS485, DS1, DS3, Video
Coax, etc., are intended to be connected to intra-building (inside plant) link segments that are not subject to
lightening transients or power faults. They are not to be connected to inter-building (outside plant) link segments
that are subject to lightening.
Caution: Do not install the NIDs in areas where strong electromagnetic fields (EMF) exist. Failure to observe this
caution could result in poor NID performance.
Caution: Read the installation instructions before connecting the chassis to a power source. Failure to observe this
caution could result in poor performance or damage to the equipment.
Caution: Only trained and qualified personnel should install or perform maintenance on the x6010. Failure to
observe this caution could result in poor performance or damage to the equipment.
Caution: Do not let optical fibers come into physical contact with any bare part of the body since they are fragile,
and difficult to detect and remove from the body.

33493 Rev. E https://www.transition.com/ Page 4 of 299
Caution: Do not bend any part of an optical fiber/cable to a diameter that is smaller than the minimum permitted
according to the manufacturer’s specification (usually about 65 mm or 2.5 in)!
Warnings
Warning: Use of controls, adjustments or the performance of procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Warning: Visible and invisible laser radiation when open. Do not look into the beam or view the beam directly with
optical instruments. Failure to observe this warning could result in an eye injury or blindness.
Warning: DO NOT connect the power supply module to external power before installing it into the chassis. Failure
to observe this warning could result in an electrical shock or death.
Warning: Select mounting bracket locations on the chassis that will keep the chassis balanced when mounted in
the rack. Failure to observe this warning could allow the chassis to fall, resulting in equipment damage and/or
possible injury to persons.
Warning: Do not work on the chassis, connect, or disconnect cables during a storm with lightning. Failure to observe this
warning could result in an electrical shock or death.
See Appendix A on page 247 for Electrical Safety Warnings translated into multiple languages.

Section 1: Introduction
Document Overview
This manual provides the user with an understanding of the Transition Networks (TN) x6010 Network
Interface Device (NID).
Product Overview
The ION T1/E1 model x6010 is a copper-to-fiber NID with remote management that provides a solution
to extend T1 or E1 circuits over fiber, and remotely manage them in-band from admin locations.
The x6010 NIDs are designed as either a standalone module (S6010) or a slide-in module (C6010) that is
installed in an ION system chassis. In either configuration, these devices are designed to convert the
copper ports on T1/E1 devices, such as a PBX or T1/E1 router, to multimode or single mode fiber with
advanced services and functions.
The x6010 supports Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers to support a variety of fiber types, distances
and wavelengths to provide maximum flexibility across a variety of network topologies. The use of
Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) SFPs can be utilized to further increase the bandwidth
capacity of the fiber infrastructure. The T1/E1NID must be used in pairs. A typical installation includes a
chassis card (C6010) installed in a local ION chassis and a stand-alone device (S6010) installed at a
remote location.
Features
The x6010 provides the following services and functions.
•Converts copper ports on T1/E1 devices, such as a PBX or T1/E1 router, to multimode or single
mode fiber
•Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) LED
•Can be used with fractional T1/E1 circuits
•Firmware upgrade
•Remote management
•Local or Remote Loopbacks on copper or fiber port
•Switch-selectable RJ-48 connectors for T1 or E1
•Jitter attenuators optimize Bit Error Rate performance
•Network debug procedures make BER testing more convenient
•Built-in troubleshooting with selectable TAOS (Transmit All Ones): a switch on the fiber and
copper interfaces allows testing of all T1/E1 equipment on that network segment to ensure the
network links
