This ap p end ix desc rib es the step s req uired  to ad minister fib er links on G3rV4 
and  later systems.
Before starting  the ad ministration p roc ess, verify the following :
1. Be sure all fiber op tic  transc eivers and  all fib er op tic  c ab les are c orrec tly 
installed  on the DS1 and /or DS1 c onverter c irc uit pac ks. 
2. Verify c onnec tions to the Lig htg uid e Interc onnec t Units (LIUs) or shelves, 
to the fib er multip lexers, and  to the outsid e world . Refer to Ap p end ix A in
