3 SAFETY NORMS AND LABELS 3.1 First aid for electric shock
Do not touch the patient with bare hands until the circuit has been opened. Open the circuit by switching off the line switches. If that is not possible, protect yourself with dry material and free the patient from the conductor. ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION It is important to start mouth to mouth resuscitation at once and seek medical help immediately. TREATMENT OF BURNS This treatment should be used after the patient has regained consciousness. It can also be employed while the artificial respiration is being applied (in this case there should be at least two persons present). WARNING: Do not attempt to remove his clothing from the burnt parts; Apply dry gauze on the burns; Do not apply ointments or other oily substances.

Mouth to mouth resuscitation method

E2005 ALCATEL All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

Lay the patient supine with his arms parallel with the body, if the patient is laying on an inclined plane, make sure that his stomach is slightly lower than his chest. Open the patients mouth and check that there are no extraneous bodies in his mouth (dentures, chewing-gum etc.), Kneel beside the patient level with his head. Put a hand under the patients head and one under his neck (see fig.) Lift the patients head and let it recline backwards as far as possible Shift the hand from the patients neck to is chin: place your thumb between his chin and his mouth, the index along his jawbone, and keep the other fingers closed together (see fig.). While performing these operations take a good supply of oxygen by taking deep breaths with your mouth open.

With your thumb between the patients chin and mouth keep his lips together and blow into his nasal cavities (see fig.)

While performing these operations observe if the patients chest rises (see fig.) If not it is possible that his nose is blocked: in that case open the patients mouth as much as possible by pressing on his chin with your hand, place your lips around his mouth and blow into his oral cavity. Observe if the patients chest heaves. This second method can be used instead of the first even when the patients nose is kept closed by pressing the nostrils together using the hand you were holding his head with. The patients head must be kept sloping backwards as much as possible.

Start with ten rapid expirations, hence continue at a rate of twelve/fifteen expirations per minute. Go on like this until the patient has regained consciousness, or until a doctor has ascertained his death.

5 GENERAL ON ALCATEL CUSTOMER DOCUMENTATION 5.1 Products, product-releases, versions and Customer Documentation
A product is defined by the network hierarchical level where it can be inserted and by the whole of performance and services for which it is meant. A product evolves through successive product-releases which are the real products marketed for their delivery at a certain product-release availability date. So, a product--release defines a set of hardware components and a software package which, as a whole, identify the possible network applications and the equipment performance which the specific product-release has been designed, engineered and marketed for. In some cases a product-release has further development steps, named versions, that are born to improve or add some performance (mainly software) with respect to the previous version, or for bug fixing purposes. A product-release has its own standard Customer Documentation, composed by one or more handbooks. A new version of a product-release may or may not produce a change in the status of the Customer Documentation set, as described in para.5.4 on page 22.
E2005 ALCATEL All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

5.2 Handbook supply to Customers

Handbooks are not automatically delivered together with the equipment they refer to. The number of handbooks per type to be supplied must be decided at contract level.

5.3 Aims of standard Customer Documentation

Standard Customer Documentation, referred to hereafter, must be always meant as plant-independent. Plant-dependent documentation, if envisaged by the contract, is subjected to commercial criteria as far as contents, formats and supply conditions are concerned (plant-dependent documentation is not described here). Standard hardware and software documentation is meant to give the Customer personnel the possibility and the information necessary for installing, commissioning, operating and maintaining the equipment according to Alcatel--Telecom Laboratory design choices. In particular the contents of the handbooks associated to the software applications focus on the explanation of the man--machine interface and of the operating procedures allowed by it.

Consequently, no supply to the Customers of design documentation (like software source programs, programming tools, etc.) is envisaged.

5.4 Handbook Updating

E2005 ALCATEL All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

The handbooks associated to the product--release are listed in chapter 2 on page 11. Each handbook is identified by: the name of the product-release (and version when the handbook is applicable to the versions starting from it, but not to the previous ones), the handbook name, the handbook P/N, the handbook edition (usually first edition=01), the handbook issue date. The date on the handbook does not refer to the date of print but to the date on which the handbook source file has been completed and released for the production. 5.4.1 Changes introduced in the same product-release (same handbook P/N) The edition and date of issue might change on future handbook versions for the following reasons: only the date changes (pointed out in the Table of Contents) when modifications are made to the editorial system not changing the technical contents of the handbook. the edition, hence the date, is changed because modifications made concern technical contents. In this case: the table in chapter 1.4 indicates the section(s) edition change; in each section, the main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed; in affected chapters of each section, revision bars on the left of the page indicate modifications in text and drawings (this is done after the first officially released and validated version).

Changes concerning the technical contents of the handbook cause the edition number increase (e.g. from Ed.01 to Ed.02). Slight changes (e.g. for corrections) or draft versions maintain the same edition but with the addition of a version character (e.g. from Ed.02 to Ed.02A). NOTES FOR HANDBOOKS RELEVANT TO SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS Handbooks relevant to software applications (typically the Operators Handbooks) are not modified unless the new software version distributed to Customers implies man--machine interface changes or in case of slight modifications not affecting the understanding of the explained procedures. Moreover, should the screen prints included in the handbook contain the product-releases version marking, they are not replaced in the handbooks related to a subsequent version, if the screen contents are unchanged. 5.4.2 Supplying updated handbooks to Customers Supplying updated handbooks to Customers who have already received previous issues is submitted to commercial criteria. By updated handbook delivery it is meant the supply of a complete copy of the handbook new issue (supplying errata--corrige sheets is not envisaged). 5.4.3 Changes due to a new product-release A new product-release changes the handbook P/N and the edition starts from 01. In this case the modified parts of the handbook are not listed.

In the following CD--ROM means Customer Documentation on CD--ROM 5.5.1 Contents, creation and production of a CD-ROM In most cases, a CD--ROM contains the documentation of one product--release(--version) and for a certain language. In some other cases, the same CD--ROM can contain the documentation of different product--release (--version)s for a certain language. As a general rule: CD--ROMs for Network Management products do not contain: the Installation Guides the documentation of system optional features that Customers could not buy from Alcatel together with the main applicative SW.

CD--ROMs for Network Elements products do not contain: the documentation of system optional features (e.g. System Installation Handbooks related to racks that Customers could not buy from Alcatel together with the main equipment).

A CD--ROM is obtained collecting various handbooks and documents in .pdf format. Bookmarks and hyperlinks make the navigation easier. The files processed in this way are added to files/images for managing purpose and a master CD--ROM is recorded. Suitable checks are made in order to have a virus--free product. After a complete functional check, the CD--ROM image is electronically transferred to the archive of the Production Department, so that the CD--ROM can be produced and delivered to Customers.

E2005 ALCATEL All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

The CD--ROM can be used both in PC and Unix WS environments. The CD--ROM starts automatically with autorun and hyperlinks from the opened Index document permit to visualize the .pdf handbooks. Other hyperlinks permit to get, from the Technical handbooks, the specific .pdf setting documents. In order to open the .pdf documents Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 4.0 (minimum) must have been installed on the platform. The CD--ROM doesnt contain the Adobe Acrobat Reader program. The Customer is in charge of getting and installing it. ReadMe info is present on the CD--ROM to this purpose. Then the Customer is allowed to read the handbooks on the PC/WS screen, using the navigation and zooming tools included in the tool, and to print selected parts of the documentation through a local printer. 5.5.3 CD-ROM identification Each CD--ROM is identified: 1) by the following external identifiers, that are printed both on the booklet and the CD--ROM upper surface: the name of the product--release(s) (and version when the CD--ROM is applicable to the versions starting from it, but not to the previous ones), a writing indicating the language(s), the CD--ROM P/N (Factory P/N 417.xxx.xxx x and ANV P/N), the CD--ROM edition (usually first edition=01) and, internally, by the list of the source handbooks and documents (P/Ns and editions) by whose collection and processing the CD--ROM itself has been created.

2)

5.5.4 CD-ROM updating The list of source handbook/document P/Ns--editions indicated in previous para. 5.5.3 point 2 ) , in association with the CD--ROM own P/N--edition, is also loaded in the Alcatel--Information--System as a structured list. Whenever a new edition of any of such handbooks/documents is released in the Alcatel archive system, a check in the Alcatel--Information--System is made to identify the list of CD--ROMs that must be updated to include the new editions of these handbooks/documents. This causes the planning and creation of a new edition of the CD--ROM. Updating of CD--ROMs always follows, with a certain delay, the updating of the single handbooks composing the collection.

E2005 ALCATEL All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

Purpose of the procedure Troubleshooting involves the detection, location and correction of failures in the equipment and replacing the parts that are defective. Troubleshooting organization The troubleshooting procedure is carried out with the help of some flow--charts and tables, reported hereinafter. Anyway this method does not deal with the following aspects (which are to be deducted by other ways): faulty electronic alarm indication, processing and detection circuits faulty wiring (back--panel, connectors, etc.)

The Maintenance organization can have different structures. The following topologies are considered: with a station supervisory center on site with a Remote Craft Terminal management center with a TMN network management center

In the station supervisory center the maintenance technician refers to the remote alarms received from the equipment in a centralized office of the station i.e. : URG, NURG, IND: remote alarms relative to the type of alarm (urgent, not urgent, indicative) Outgoing parallel interface: Housekeeping commands configured by the customer.

Besides detecting the equipment in alarm, depending on the organization of supervision structure, it is also possible to detect the type of failure and the relative source. Q3 interface for Telecommunication Management Network

With a TMN network management center the maintenance technician must refer to the alarms sent towards the TMNs Operations System (see the relevant TMN handbooks). After having detected the alarmed equipment, the condition is attended by pressing push--button ACO (Alarm Cut--Off) on the ESCT1000 unit in the master shelf. This condition causes: On the Top Rack Unit the YELLOW ATTD LED to light up the RED URG or NURG LED to go off

On the Equipment Controller (EC) front coverplate: yellow LED (ATTD) to light up red LEDs (NURG) and (URG) to light off (available for other alarms)

E2005 ALCATEL All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

Fault location can be performed by following simple rules. First, transmission domain alarms have to be checked to locate the degraded NE. Then, when the faulty NE is identified, equipment domain alarms are checked to locate degraded board or the faulty optical connection. 2.1.1 Alarm & status indication The following figures give the correspondance between the alarms of each view and the concerned board.

Look at the alarm synthesis indicator of each subrack and display the view of the faulty one. Look at the alarm synthesis indicator of each board and display the view of the faulty one. Look at the board alarm indicators and report to the tables in the Help--On--Line -- Equipment domain alarms, to determine the default.

Localize a transmission fault 1) 2) Display the Transmission view of the OTS port(s) of the NE. Look at the alarm synthesis indicators of the OTS, OMS--A and the OMS TPs ... If at least one of these indicators is in faulty status, display the port view of the OTS port. Look at the transmission alarm indicators and report to the tables in the Help--On--Line -- Transmission domain alarms. If there is no alarm on the OTS, OMS--A and OMS TPs, carry on with this procedure.

In the Transmission view choose the Transmission - Expand - All Lower TPs menu option to display the OCH--A TPs connected to the OTS port. Look at the alarm synthesis indicators of the OCH--A TPs: If only one OCH--A is in faulty status, there is probably a local problem with the corresponding transponder board (TRBD1xyz). If more than one OCH--A are in faulty status, the default can be: a default (not detected at the equipment level) on the local multiplexer/demutliplexer boards (BMDX and CMDX) that support the faulty channels, an optical wiring default at the aggregate interface of either the local CMDX or the local BMDX board that support the faulty channels, a default on the remote multiplexer/demutliplexer boards (CMDX and BMDX) that support the faulty channels at the other end of the line, an optical wiring default at the aggregate interface of either the remote CMDX or the remote BMDX that support the faulty channels at the other extremity of the line.
