Course Outline

• Considerations when working with optical systems
• The importance of fibre cleanliness in optical systems
• Examine the way in which customer traffic and data communication traffic flow around the SDH equipment
• A description of each individual card, looking at the impact on its removal on traffic flow.
• Traffic protection schemes available, and how they are utilised
• Recommended rack installation layout, including power fibre and electrical connection.
• Operations and Maintenance, discussing common faults.
• Fault finding with practical exercises and testing.
• Connection and configuration of the equipment using local terminal software
• The operation of synchronisation around the multiplexer and how it is connected.

The key learning points from each topic will be applied to classroom activities at the end of the session. This will provide for the re-enforcement of techniques learned during course progresses.

The class contains numerous practical exercises.
