Introduction
2.1
The NPT-1020 is a packet transport platform for the access, offering an All-Native solution that optimizes
both TDM and packet handling. The NPT-1020 is a cost-effective choice for the first aggregation stage,
geared for cellular tail locations (3G and LTE), providing a unique hybrid solution for high capacity access
rings, and optimized for popular triple play applications.
As Packet Optical Access (POA) platform with enhanced MPLS-TP support, the NPT-1020 is designed around
a centralized hybrid matrix card that supports any-to-any direct data card connectivity as well as native
TDM switching capacity. The NPT-1020 offers a packet switching capacity of up to 10 Gbps or 60 Gbps (with
a choice of two modes on the same unit) as well as a TDM capacity of up to 2.5G (16 x VC4 fully low order
traffic).
The platform offers non-traffic-affecting upgrades from 1G-based configurations to 10GE-based (with up to
4 x 10GE interfaces) through the CPS50 card, a central packet switch (CPS) Tslot card for the NPT-1020. This
card provides scalable upgrade with high capacity 10GE configuration to the NPT-1020. The CPS50 makes it
possible to upgrade the system packet switching capacity to 60 Gbps, supporting up to 2 10GE (SFP+) and
2 flexible SFP houses (each can support 1 10GE with SFP+, or 1 GE with SFP, or 2 GE with CSFP).
The NPT-1020 offers enhanced MPLS-TP data network functionality, including the complete range of
Ethernet-based services (CES, EoS, MoT, MoE, and PoE+) (see MPLS-TP and Ethernet Solutions).
The NPT-1020 is a compact (1U) base platform housed in a 243 mm deep, 465 mm wide, and 44 mm high
equipment cage with all interfaces accessible from the front of the unit. The platform includes the following
components:
2-1
Introduction
The NPT-1020 can be fed by 24 VDC, -48 VDC, or 94-240 VAC. In DC power feeding, two INF modules can be
configured in two power supply module slots for redundant power supply, or one double slot INF module
with dual-feeding can be configured. AC power feeding requires the use of a conversion module to
implement AC/DC conversion.
The NPT-1020 can be installed in 2,200 mm or 2,600 mm ETSI racks or in 19 racks. The rugged platform
design also makes this platform suitable for street cabinet use, withstanding temperatures up to 70C.
The NPT-1020 can also be configured as an expanded platform, when combined with the EXT-2U expansion
unit, as illustrated in the following figure.
Figure 2-2: NPT-1020 platform with expansion unit
Typical power consumption for the NPT-1020 is 50 W. Power consumption is monitored through the
management software. For more information about power consumption requirements, see the NPT
Installation and Maintenance Manual and the NPT System Specifications.
2.2
The EXT-2U platform is a high density modular expansion unit for the NPT's multiservice metro access
platform series. It supports the complete range of native and hybrid PCM, TDM, PDH, SDH, and Ethernet
interfaces. All traffic processing, cross-connect, packet switching, timing and synchronization, control and
communication and main power supply functions are performed by the corresponding system in the base
unit on which expansion unit is installed. Integrating this add-on platform into your network configuration
is not traffic-affecting.
NOTE: The EXT-2U expansion unit can be combined with the NPT-1020, NPT-1021, NPT-1050,
NPT-1200, and NPT-1800 platforms. For easier reading, the slot layout is not repeated in the
sections describing each of those platforms. The reader is simply referred back to this slot
layout description.
Figure 2-3: EXT-2U platform
The EXT-2U expansion unit is housed in a 243 mm deep, 465 mm wide, and 88 mm high equipment cage
with all interfaces accessible from the front of the unit. Expansion units include their own independent
power supply and fan unit, for additional reliability and security. The platform includes the following
components:
2-2
Introduction
Three multipurpose slots (ES1 to ES3) for any combination of extractable traffic cards. PCM, TDM,
ADM, Ethernet, and CES traffic are all handled through cards in these traffic slots. All interfaces are
configured through convenient SFP modules, supporting up to 2.5G or 2GbE traffic per slot. Each slot
in the EXT-2U has a TDM capacity of up to 16 x VC-4s; the total capacity of the EXT-2U is 48 x VC-4s.
Two slots for INF power supply units. There are two units for system redundancy. Note that INF
modules are extractable in the EXT-2U.
One FCU fan unit consisting of multiple separate fans to support cooling system redundancy.
Typical power consumption for the EXT-2U is less than 150 W. Power consumption is monitored through
the management software. For more information about power consumption requirements, see the NPT
Installation and Maintenance Manual and the NPT System Specifications.

Equipment Installation
Equipment Installation
Mark the location of each NPT-1020 shelf, EXT-2U shelf, and relevant Equipment Installation
accessories (Fiber Storage Tray (FST), Optical Distribution Frame (ODF),
PCM Interconnection Panels (ICPs), and Digital Distribution Frame
(DDF) on each rack, in accordance with the site installation plan.
Notes:
For each NPT-1020, it is recommended that you leave at least 4 U
of space above the NPT-1020 shelf to enable future installation of
the EXT-2U shelf.
The NPT-1020 can only support balanced E1 interfaces directly.
For unbalanced E1s, the xDDF-21 patch panel must be configured,
which provides conversion between balanced and unbalanced E1s
for 21 x E1.
When PCM interfaces are provided by the SM_10E/EM_10E, the
corresponding ICPs can be installed in order to simplify
installation and connection to customer termination equipment.

The following sections describe options for installing the NPT-1020 in racks with corresponding ancillary
equipment.
Removable rear and side panels, enabling tidy leading and efficient maintenance of all rack cables,
including:
PCM/E1/E3/DS-3/STM-1e cables
Control cables
Power cables
Data cables
Timing cables
Two ducts on the racks front rails for routing up to 200 optical fibers
Open frame top and bottom, facilitating easy leading of cables from suspension floors and/or ceiling
ladders
NPT-1020 equipment racks can be installed on wooden, concrete, or floating floors, or suspended from
overhead mountings.

One RAP installed at the top of the rack. The RAP is used to connect external power and alarm
monitoring lines (RAP-4B only) to the NPT-1020 shelves installed in the rack. The RAP fully supports
up to four shelves with dual power feeding or eight shelves with single power feeding. In addition to
the space needed for RAP installation, you must leave at least 50 mm of free space under the RAP for
cable routing.
Fiber Storage Tray. A separate FST can be installed for each NPT-1020 with optical modules. Each FST
contains two storage reels, enabling the fiber to be stored on the right or left side of the tray. Leave at
least 50 mm of free space between the NPT-1020 shelf and its FST, and another 50 mm free between
the FST and the next NPT-1020 shelf.
xDDF-21. When unbalanced E1 interfaces are needed, the xDDF-21 should be installed with the
NPT-1020. Each xDDF-21 can support 21 channels of E1. The xDDF-21 can be installed anywhere on
the same rack on which the
NPT-1020 shelf is installed, or on another rack.
ICPs for the SM_10E/EM_10E, including ICP_VF, ICP_V24, ICP_V24F, ICP_V11_V24, and ICP_V35.
When PCM interfaces are provided by the SM_10E/EM_10E, the corresponding ICPs can be installed
in order to simplify installation and connection to customer termination equipment. Each ICP can
support one SM_10E/EM_10E traffic module. ICPs can be installed anywhere on the same rack on
which the NPT-1020 shelf is installed, or on another rack.

Some of these cables are supplied as part of the NPT-1020 equipment, while others must be prepared on
site or ordered separately from ECI.
In the following sections, you will find information about the cables, and how to prepare them on site,
where relevant. For details about the equipment connector types and cable wiring, see Connection Data.
WARNING:
When preparing cables, in particular power and grounding cables, use only
UL-listed components of the specified types. Components must also comply with any
applicable national and local safety codes and regulations.
Only qualified trained personnel may be involved in the preparation of the various cable
types. Personnel must use only approved procedures, in accordance with the applicable
workmanship practice.
ECI recommends the use of shielded power cables for DC power connections, with the shields connected to
the frame ground at the rack end only.

NPT-1020 platforms contain power sources of varying voltages. Note the following guidelines when
installing the platforms:
Ensure that the maximum working temperature does not exceed 70C.
Do not install or maintain equipment connected to external lines (for example, E1 tributaries) during
thunderstorms.
Avoid contact with high-voltage sources when installing platforms, cards, and modules.
Make sure you are familiar with the warning signals and labels on the equipment and strictly observe
the procedures needed to avoid the indicated hazards.
3-12
NOTE: If necessary, the gauge of the grounding lead can also be reduced to the gauge of the
RAP power leads.
The rack mounting rails must be free of paint and provide electrical continuity to the main grounding bolt.
The resistance between any rail and the rack main grounding bolt must be less than 0.1 .
Pay particular attention to the area in which the RAP is attached. Remove paint from the rack in this area to
ensure efficient electrical contact.
CAUTION: Connect the RAP grounding bolt to the rack grounding bolt with a grounding cable
complying with UL/ETSI recommendations. The cable must include bolt terminals on both
ends and be securely fastened with a nut and a star washer.
The site operator must provide a readily accessible UL-listed disconnect device incorporated in the fixed
power wiring of the site. This device limits the maximum delivered current to a safe value.

This section provides guidelines regarding the protection of NPT-1020 equipment and its components
against electrostatic discharge (ESD) during handling, packing/unpacking, transport, installation,
commissioning, inspections, servicing, and maintenance.
Electronic equipment, assemblies, and components that are ESDS (electrostatic discharge sensitive) or
include sensitive items are identified by the basic ESD warning symbol shown in the following figure.
Figure 3-3: Basic ESD warning symbol
The information provided in this section is in line with CENELEC Electronic Components Committee (CECC)
specification CECC 00 015, which deals with protection of devices sensitive to ESD.
Most types of electronic equipment, assemblies, and components can be damaged by electrostatic
discharges. An ESD between two objects occurs when an object carrying static electrical charges touches or
is brought near another object.
3-17
Static electrical charges appear as a result of friction between surfaces of insulating materials or separation
of two such surfaces, and may also be induced by electrical fields. Routine activities such as walking across
an insulating floor, friction between garment parts, friction between objects, and so on, can easily build up
charges to levels that may cause damage, especially when humidity is low.
In many cases, the build-up of charge can be avoided by using special materials, for example, garments and
packaging of antistatic materials or materials that have high resistance, but yet are not insulators.
The best way to avoid damage by ESD is a combination of means and procedures that achieves the
following goals:
Provides means for controlled discharge of any accumulated electrostatic charges when entering the
protected work environment
NOTE: An area in which ESDS can be handled with minimum risk of damage as a result of ESD
or fields, and in which the operator is not exposed to additional risks, is called an ESD
Protected Area (EPA).
The temporary EPA must include temporary controlled work surfaces and/or flooring capable of providing
protection against ESD.
3-18
CAUTION: The temporary EPA must be constructed in a way that ensures electrical bonding of
all the materials used, and prevents the occurrence of any sudden changes in potential within
the EPA that could cause unacceptable voltages or discharges to be applied to ESDS.
The operator and any work surface and flooring must be bonded to ground equipotentially. For this
purpose, the work surface and wrist straps must be bonded either to a designated ground bonding point or
to the equipment being serviced.
Whenever available, the mains ground serves as the ESD grounding facility.
WARNING: While the operator is within the temporary EPA, the minimum value of resistance
used for bonding to ground must limit the current to ground, produced by voltages accessible
to the operator, to limits specified as safe by the applicable regulations (see, for example,
CECC 00 015). The same approach is applicable to the surface resistance and resistance to
ground of materials used for temporary work surfaces and flooring.
To enable ESD bonding to ground of equipment racks and any other nonmoveable equipment containing
ESD, an ESD ground-bonding facility must be located near such equipment, or the equipment must be fitted
with a designated ground-bonding point presenting a resistance to ground not greater than 1 M.
All operators working within a temporary EPA must wear, as a minimum, an ESD antistatic protecting
garment made of cotton.
If the extent of the temporary work area is such that the operator needs to walk and move within
that area, the floor of the area must be capable of providing protection against ESD.
The operator must be bonded to ground at all times when handling ESDS.
If it becomes necessary to remove ESDS equipment and transfer it to a temporary work surface away
from the other equipment, the ESDS must be given protective packaging unless equipotential bonding
to ground of the operator is maintained.
An ESDS unit must be placed directly into protective packaging when it is removed from equipment. A
replacement ESDS must be kept in its protective packaging until required for immediate installation in
the equipment.
The field service operator must ensure that the materials and tools necessary to maintain and control
the temporary EPA are available at the place of the field work at service time.
All tools for use within the EPA must, as far as is practical, be constructed so that they do not
generate or hold an induced electrostatic charge.

In general the electrical traffic cables should not be routed in the same route as power cables. The power
connectors on the NPT-1020 are on the left; therefore they should be routed from the left side of the
NPT-1020 pass in the space between the NPT-1020 and the unit installed above it. Then the cable should be
passed through the left cable guide, routed up to the left cable clamp bar and attached to it with cable ties.
It should then be passed upward to the openings in the top cover of the cabinet to the outer world.
In a similar way, cable connected to connector on the right side of the NPT-1020, for instance T3/T4 (clock)
cable should be routed from the right side of the NPT-1020 in the space between the unit and the unit
installed above it. Then the cable should be passed through the right cable guide, routed up to the right

NOTE: An optical port with ALS capability turns off its transmitter when the corresponding
receive signal is lost. Turning the transmitter off may cause a chain reaction, which turns the
optical signals off in a whole section of the network and generates a large number of alarms.
As a result, it may be difficult to identify the real cause of the problem, and you may need to
use the management station log records to identify the port.

The PME1_21 provides 21 balanced E1 tributary interfaces and the MSE1_16 provides 16 balanced E1
tributary interfaces through a SCSI-100 female connector. The SCSI-100 connector serves the 21 E1
receive and transmit signals in the PME1_21 and the 16 x E1 receive and transmit signals in the MSE1_16.
IMPORTANT:
The wiring of the SCSI-100 connector in both the PME1_21 and MSE1_16 is
identical. The different is that in the MSE1_16 only the first 16 E1s are used.

The NPT-1020 platform provides 12 traffic Ethernet interfaces on its front panel as follows:
4 x 10/100/1000 BaseT interfaces (left-most ports marked P1 to P4) based on RJ-45 connectors with
PoE
4 x 10/100/1000 BaseT interfaces (ports marked P5 to P8) based on RJ-45 connectors without PoE
In addition the two rightmost connectors are Fast Ethernet RJ-45 type, for management and debug
(marked MNG and DEBUG).
All RJ-45 Ethernet ports support MDI/MDIX auto correction, so both straight and crossed Ethernet cables
can be connected to these ports.
The following figure identifies the connector pins, as seen when looking into the connector. The following
table lists the pin assignment for a typical connector.

Most types of SM_10E/EM_10E traffic module use the same connector for the cabling of their external
traffic interfaces. This connector is a single SCSI-36 female connector located on the front panel. The
following figure identifies the connector pins, as seen when looking into the connector.
Figure 8-10: SM_10E/EM_10E traffic module connector, pin identification
The following sections contain tables that describe the pin assignment of the connector for each type of
traffic module. These tables include the color of the wire connected to the corresponding pin in the cables
offered by ECI for connecting the SM_10E/EM_10E traffic module connector and a distribution frame.
The SM_EOP has two RJ-45 connectors for connecting to its interfaces and the SM_C37.94 has two pairs of
ST fiber optic connectors for connecting to its interfaces.

Sixteen external alarm inputs connected to the ALARM inputs of the NPT platforms. Four inputs are
allocated to each one. Each input is activated by closing a dry contact provided from the customer's
facility.
Eight sets of changeover relay contacts, floating with respect to platform ground, that serve as rack
(bay) status outputs. Each couple of the eight relays is assigned to the two output alarm lines of each
NPT platform connected to the RAP-4B.
Four sets of changeover relay contacts, floating with respect to platform ground, that serve as rack
(bay) alarm indication lines. The relays, identified as critical, major, minor, and warning, are activated
by the corresponding alarm relays of NPT platforms.
