Installation Procedure & Planning

1
 To start with...

Before starting any installation, completely

go through and understand the installation
procedure given by the vendor
Finalize the layout with the maintenance
wing and get it approved
Work out the DC power requirement
(present and ultimate) and suite distribution
has to be planned accordingly

2
 To start with… (contd.)

 In the present day microprocessor controlled

equipment, initial current consumption during the
booting will be much more and hence proper fuse
rating to be decided to avoid frequent tripping of
power during booting
 Since the basic infrastructure like DC power
board; suites; runways; suite distribution boards;
earth bus bar etc are going to remain for ever,
sufficient care has to be taken while installing and
should not be done in a hurried manner.

3
 To start with… (contd.)

 The quality of the material required should not be

compromised
 Installation of main DC box should be done by giving
enough scope for future expansion
 DC dedicated earth should be tapped from the source
point and not from intermediate points
 The main DCDB should be having all the details and
got it neatly sign written like -
•1. Tapping details of the source
•2. Maximum current for 1V drop
•3. Suite distribution details
4
 Good Installation Practice (contd.)

 Suite distribution box should be sign written properly

like
•1. input supply tapping details
•2. Distribution details
•3. Pucca +ve earthing form the main DCDB &
case earthing to be done. Looping of +ve earth at
intermediate point should be strictly avoided
•4. The main bus bar of each distribution box
should be of suitable capacity to take the ultimate
load

5
 Good Installation Practice (contd.)

While installing the subrack in the main

rack, 30cm gap should be there between
the floor and the sub rack bottom for ease
of maintenance like removal of PCBs and
inspecting the mother board etc.
while wiring screened cable in equipment
having rear access, sufficient loose to be
given so that strain will be avoided while
tilting the sub rack for attending to faults.

6
 Good Installation Practice (contd.)

 All the PCBs are to be properly aligned and fitted

properly so as to avoid damage to the PCB/mother
board.
 Always use a ladder while removing or replacing PCBs
located at a higher level to avoid misalignment and
damage to the equipment.
 Always take normal and standby DC power supply for
each sub rack form different circuit breakers to avoid
total failure.
 The main frame; rack; sub rack; DDFs; IDF etc should
be properly earthed

7
 Good Installation Practice (contd.)

 While terminating screened cable, use PVC

sleeve for the earth wire so that it will not come in
contact with live wires and create problem. It is
difficult to locate this type of fault and should
hence installer should do it systematically so that
maintenance will be trouble free
 While 2Mbps termination is done with balanced
screened cable by wrapping it on the tag block,
the aggregates like E3 and 155 Mbps is taken
through Double screened Coaxial Cable

8
 Good Installation Practice (contd.)

 Hence utmost care has to be taken while preparing

the same because 95% of the system problem is due
to poor workmanship in the preparation of the
connectors
 Since a bulk of 2Mbps will be affected, installer should
bestow his personal attention while preparing these
types of cards
 While testing the equipment, importance should be
given to EOW and it should be made operational and
should not be ignored since during failures, this will be
the only means of communication between the
terminals
9
 Good Installation Practice (contd.)

 The optical cards having external connectors should

be protected from dust by suitably covering them.
 OLTEs should be tested for the full dynamic range and
the working receive level should be kept atleast 5dB
above the lower range.
 Back up of all the configuration like Node map; circuit
Cross connections done by the installer etc should be
taken and made over to maintenance so that the same
can be transferred to the new control unit
instantaneously.

10
 Good Installation Practice (contd.)

 All the sub racks (herein after called as NEs)

should be extended to the NMS by the installer.
 All the relevant details regarding the Wiring; DC
power tapping; Fiber details; Equipment Purchase
details; Detailed Estimate particulars etc should
be documented properly and made over to
maintenance along with the A/T report.
 Study of Traffic from traffic Planning Matrix and
deciding the systems between various wire
centers.

11
 Good Installation Practice (contd.)

 Deciding the system i.e. whether STM-16 or

STM-4 or STM-1
 Deciding the type of protection to be employed
like shared or dedicated. While shared protection
will give room for more bandwidth, the dedicated
one will be restricted to either 4xSTM-1 or
16xSTM-1 in a ring.
 Selection of nodes such that the optical
parameters are not met without going in for
Regenerators.

12
 Good Installation Practice (contd.)

 Selection of nodes should be such that too many slots

should not be used for a traffic channel and that
maximum traffic should be confined within the ring.
Ring to ring patch should be kept to the minimum.
 While selecting the optical cable route, no two arm of
the ring should be in the same cable or same route.
Under extreme conditions, fiber from different cables
should be used.
 Planning of 2 Mbps links should be in such a way that
at a future date, migration from terminal multiplexer to
the DXCs will be easy.

13
 Quality Deciding Factors
The reliability of any equipment, be it from
any reputed manufacturer, depends on
quality installation. The factors deciding the
quality are:
•1. proper layout
•2. proper environment
•3. proper material selection
•4. proper installation
•5. proper testing including stability test
•6. proper documentation

29
 Installation of Cables & Optical Fibre Cables

Route all cables (optical fibers, coaxial

cables) start with the bottom sub rack
positions. The cables should be routed in
the left or right side of the rack. When the
cables and fibers are routed they must be
tied together. The cables must also be tied
to the special tie points at the sub rack
bracket and motherboard cable bracket

30
 Check of Physical Installation

Before start of actual testing, check for the

proper installation of the rack/sub rack,
neatness of cabling and terminations.
