Rule 1
Cross-c onnec t the fib er op tic  c ab le b etween 2 lig htwave transc eivers. That is, 
run the c ab le from the TX c onnec tor on 1 transc eiver to the RX c onnec tor on the 
other transc eiver, and  in reverse for the other c ab le. See the top  half of Fi g u re  
A-7. Multi-mod e c onnec tions using  an LIU for fiber c ross-c onnec ts to remote 
EPNs are shown in the b ottom half of Fi g u re  A - 7
. For sing le-mod e c onnec tions, 
refer to Fig ure A -2
.
Cross-c onnec t the fib er op tic  c ab le b etween 2 lig htwave transc eivers for eac h 
c onnec tion (row) on the fib er op tic  c ab le running  list as shown in the Customer 
Se r vi c e  D o c u m e n t .
Rule 2
For multi-mode fiber, use the 9823A (shortwave) transc eiver for d istanc es of up  
to 4900 feet (1494 m). Use the 9823B (long wave) transc eiver for d istanc es of up  
to 25,000 feet (7620 m). Ensure all 9823As c onnec t to 9823As and  all 9823Bs 
c onnec t to 9823Bs. 
For sing le-mod e fib er, use the 300A single-mod e fib er op tic  transc eivers. 
Sing le-mode fib er is g enerally used  to c onnec t remote EPNs at d istanc es of up  to 
115,000 feet (22 miles or 35 km). Sing le-mod e fib er may req uire attenuators. It is 
usually more c ost effec tive to use multi-mod e fib er b etween c ab inets when 
possible.
Rule 3
!CAUTION:
Do not route fib er op tic  c ab les and  the B25A c ables tog ether.
Route fib er optic  c ab les away from group s of other c ab les where they may b e 
stretc hed  b y the weig ht of metal c ab le b und les. It may b e nec essary to run fib er 
op tic  c ab les with the I/O c ab les, suc h as in the c ab le slac k manag er or und er a 
raised  floor. In these c ases, p rotec t the c ab le by running  it in a d ed ic ated  area if 
possible. When the cable must be run with other cabling, protect it by running it 
throug h flexible c ond uit. Use the following  step s to route the c ab le:
1. Route the fib er optic  c ab le up  toward the top  of the c ab inet. The exc ess 
c ab le should  b e loop ed  and  d rap ed  from the B25A c able c lamp .
2. Dress the c ab le running  up  the b ac k of the c abinets by loosely tie 
wrap p ing the c ab le to the outsid e of the B25A c ab le c lamp  (d o not p ut the 
c ab le insid e the c lamp  hold ing  the B25A c ab les).
Rule 4
Avoid  b end ing  fib er op tic  c ab les to a rad ius smaller than 1.5 inc hes (3.8 c m), to 
p revent mec hanic al stress on the c ables. Plan the use of c ab le ties to avoid  
c rimp ing  the c ab le or c reating  a fixed  stress p oint where, at a later time, 
movement of the c ab le c auses it to exc eed  the minimum bend  rad ius.

Rule 5
Ensure fib er op tic  c ab les are not p ressed  ag ainst any sheet metal ed g es b y 
subsequently installed cables.
Rule 6
If the fib er link is d up lic ated , route the fib er via a sep arate g eog rap hic al p ath, if 
p ossib le. This way, if the standard  fib er link is c ut or d amag ed , the dup lic ated  
fib er remains in servic e.
Cleaning Fiber Optic Cables
The use of isop rop yl alc ohol is rec ommend ed  to p rop erly c lean fiber op tic  
c ab les. Contac t your Luc ent Tec hnolog ies rep resentative for more information.
1. Moisten a lint-free c loth with isop rop yl alc ohol.
2. Gently wip e the c eramic  ferrule with the c loth. Be sure to wip e the entire 
leng th of the ferrule and  the ferrule tip.
3. Dry the ferrule with air.
4. If the c onnec tor is not being used  immediately, c over the c onnec tor with 
the dust cap.
Labels for Fiber Optic Cables
Cable Labels
Cab le lab els, with ad hesive b ac king , are installed  on eac h end  of a fib er op tic  
c ab le. Eac h lab el d isp lays the following  information:
nThe numb ers of the c ab inets, c arriers, and  slots c onnec ted  b y the c ab le
nInformation on the c ab le itself, suc h as c ab le c omc od e numb er, and  how 
it is used
Cross-Connect Labels
The lab el used  with c ross-c onnec t fib er op tic  c ab les shows the c ab inet, c arrier 
and  slot numb ers of the sourc e of the c ab le. It also ind ic ates that the c ab le g oes

Routing Fiber Optic Cables
Cable Slack Managers or Raised Floors
When using  either c ab le slac k manag ers or raised  floors, route the fib er c ab le to 
the outsid e of the c arriers b ehind  the rear c onnec tor panel and  c ab le troug hs. Do 
not route fib er in the sid e c ab le troug hs used  for the B25A c ab les. However, 
sinc e the B25A c ab les route out of the b ottom of the troug h, loop  slac k fib er at 
the top  of the troug h. 
Protec t c ab les routed  b etween c ab inets with a fib er p rotec tor c over. When 
routing fib er to a c ab inet that is not ad jac ent, route the fib er b ac k into and  und er 
the top  of the intermed iate c ab inet.
Fiber op tic  c able req uires c onnec tion to an LIU or shelf for c onnec tion to remote 
c ab inets or for c onnec tion to the outsid e fib er p lant. In some systems, it may b e 
nec essary to run fib er with the I/O c ables suc h as in the c ab le slac k manag er or 
und er a raised  floor. In these c ases p rotec t the fib er b y running  it in a d ed ic ated  
area if p ossib le. In any situation where the fib er op tic  c ab le must b e run with 
other c ab ling, p rotec t it b y first running it throug h flexib le c ond uit.
Overhead Ductwork
With overhead  d uc twork, route the fiber c ab le to the outsid e of the c arriers, along  
the c ab le troug hs, and  into the shielded  d uc twork.
Do not route fib er in the side c able troug hs that are used  for the B25A c ables. 
Use the shield ed  d uc twork to manag e slac k fiber at the top  of the c ab inet.

Modem 
Connection  Description
Mod em Name This field  is 20 c harac ters long  and  p ermits alp hanumeric  c harac ters to 
p rovide a uniq ue q ualifier for a g iven mod em (suc h as INTEL).
RTS/ C TS 
Enab ledInforms the mod em that c ommunic ation with the d ata sourc e UART is 
d riven with RTS/CTS flow c ontrol. The field  name has a d efault of \Q3 in a 
field  6 c harac ters long . This field  is not c ase sensitive. Default is up p er 
case.
Asynchronous 
Data ModeConfig ures mod em as an async hronous c ommunic ations d evic e. The 
field  name has a d efault value of &M0&Q0 in a field  8 c harac ters long . 
This field  is not c ase sensitive. Default is up p er c ase.
DTE 
Auto-Data 
Sp eedAd justs the sp eed  of the d ata sourc e (DTE) UART to the outgoing 
(mod em-to-mod em) d ata rate. At maximum, this sp eed  is 9600 b aud . It is 
not d esirab le to have the serial d ata fill the mod em b uffer faster than the 
outg oing  d ata rate, sinc e d ata c omp ression is d isab led . The field name 
has a b lank d efault value in a field  of 6 c harac ters. The Luc ent prod uc ts 
use the command S90=1
 to enab le this func tionality while the Intel 
p rod uc t uses the c ommand  \J1
 to enab le similar func tionality. This field  is 
not c ase sensitive. Default is up p er c ase.
Disab le Data 
CompressionTurns off the d efault d ata c omp ression algorithms in use b y most 
mod ems. The field  has a b lank field  of 6 c harac ters as d efault. The AT 
c ommand s that c ontrol this are sup p orted by similar c ommand s; 
however, these c ommand s d o not op erate in the same manner. The Intel 
modems require “H0%C0” to disable V.42bis & MNP Class 5 data 
c omp ression alg orithms. The Parad yne p rod uc ts only use %C0 to d isab le 
b oth alg orithms. This field  is not c ase sensitive. Default is upp er c ase.
Enab le Error 
ControlTurns on the V.42 LAPM and  MNP error c ontrol protoc ols, if availab le. The 
field  has a b lank field  of 6 c harac ters as d efault. The Parad yne p rod uc ts 
use the command \N5
 to enab le V.42/MNP/Buffer error c ontrol while the 
Intel p rod uc t uses \N3 to p rovid e similar func tionality. 
This V.42/MNP/Buffer mod e attemp ts to negotiate V.42 error c ontrol with 
the remote mod em. If this fails, the modem c hanges to MNP, if this fails, 
no error c ontrol is used. This field  is not c ase sensitive. Default is up p er 
case.
Misc . Init. 
Pa r a mThis field  has a b lank as a d efault and  a field  leng th of 20 c harac ters. This 
field  sup p orts any initialization p arameters not alread y sp ec ified . The AT 
c ommand s sp ec ified  in this free-form field  is always the last initialization 
p arameters to b e sent to the external mod em. This field  is not c ase 
sensitive. Default is up p er c ase.

Ring  Numb erThis field  c ontrols the numb er of ring s req uired  b efore the mod em 
answers an inc oming  c all. This field  has a b lank d efault value in a field  6 
c harac ters long . Typic ally, the maximum p ermissib le value for this reg ister 
is 255. The values 1-255 d enote the numb er of inc oming  ring  c yc les. This 
field  is not c ase sensitive. Default is up p er c ase.
Dial Typ e This field  c ontrols the typ e of interreg ister signaling  to b e used  b etween 
the mod em and  the Central Offic e. The field  has a d efault of ” T“  for tone 
dialing. Pulse dialing is indicated by “P”. The field length should be 3 
c harac ters long . This field  is c onc atenated  with the d ial string . This field  is 
not c ase sensitive. Default is up p er c ase.
Ad justab le 
Make/Break 
Ra t i oThis field  c ontrols the make/b reak ratios of p ulses and DTMF d ialing . The 
Intel p rod uc t information has sup p ort for d ifferent make/ b reak op tions for 
p ulse d ialing  only. Intel uses &P0 to selec t a ratio of 39% make and  61% 
b reak for c ommunic ation within the United  States and Canada. The op tion 
&P1 sets a ratio of 33% make and  67% b reak for the United  Kingd om and  
Hong  Kong . This field  has a b lank d efault and  a 5 c harac ter long  entry. 
This field  is not c ase sensitive. Default is up p er c ase.
Dial 
CommandThis field  has a d efault of “ D”  in a field  3 c harac ters long . This field 
d enotes the d ialing  c ommand of the mod em. This is a stand ard  
c ommand . This field  is not c ase sensitive. Default is up p er c ase.
No Answer 
Ti m e - O u tMost external mod ems p rovid e a timer that ab and ons any outb ound  d ata 
c all after a pred etermined  interval. Some mod ems d isable this timer, 
allowing  an outbound  c all to ring  ind efinitely. Parad yne d oes not provid e 
this c ap ability b ec ause it is und esirab le to have an outb ound  c all attemp t 
to ring  ind efinitely. Therefore, the initialization string  must c ontain the 
following  ASCII string  to set the “ No-Answer Timer”  to the maximum value: 
S7= 255. The internal mod em must have this p arameter d isab led  or set to 
at least 255 sec ond s. This is a non-ad ministrab le p arameter. 
For the modem c onnec tion, this p arameter is the first initialization string  to 
b e transmitted  to the mod em. This field  is visib le on the ad ministration 
form in d isp lay mod e only. The new field  is set to S7= 255. This hard c od ed 
c onstant c an b e overrid d en for type ap p roval ap p lic ations, sp ec ific ally in 
the United  King d om and  other Western Europ ean nations, b y the use of 
the “ Misc . Init. Param:”  field . (S7= 255)
