Class 1 Laser Product Safety Warning  
The EdgeFLEX 600 is a Class 1 Laser Product. This product complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and  
1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice 50, dated July 26, 2001, as well as European  
requirements EN 60825-1 and EN 60825-2. Operational wavelengths are in the range 830-1620 nm.  
This symbol on the front panel indicates the presence of invisible laser light. Under normal  
operation, Class 1 lasers are considered eye-safe and not harmful. Optical interfaces do not  
need to be shut down when connecting or disconnecting optical fibre. However, care should  
always be exercised to minimize exposure when working with lasers. Avoid looking into the  
transceiver or an unconnected fibre with the naked eye or through the use of viewing optics.  
When an interface is not connected with a fibre, replace the dust plug to help protect the  
transceiver optics and reduce the chance of accidental exposure to laser light.  
Only Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers approved for use by Carrier Access  
should be used within this system. Use of non-approved transceiver devices may result in an increased  
risk of exposure to invisible laser light or an inoperative optical port.

Connecting System Cables  
Connecting the Local Console Cable  
To connect a local console cable (included in the Accessory Kit) to the RS-232 serial connector on the  
EdgeFLEX 600, perform the following steps:  
1. Locate the local console cable to use as the local connection for network management.  
2. Connect the cable to the mini RS-232 port labeled COM 1 on the front of the chassis.  
Connecting the Timing Input Cable  
The EdgeFLEX 600 provides two timing inputs, supporting RJ-48C form-factor connectors. To connect  
a cable to the timing connector on the EdgeFLEX 600, perform the following steps:  
1. Locate the cable from the external timing source.  
2. Insert the cable’s RJ-48C connector into the port labeled TIMING IN 1 on the front of the  
EdgeFLEX 600.  
3. (optional) If a secondary timing source is available, connect it to the port labeled TIMING IN  
2 on the front of the EdgeFLEX 600.  
Connecting the Timing Output Cable  
The EdgeFLEX 600 provides two timing outputs, OUT 1 and OUT 2 adjacent to the timing inputs. The  
OUT ports may be used to pass the timing signal received by the EdgeFLEX 600 to another device.  
The OUT ports provide a pass through of the timing signal when the EdgeFLEX 600 is powered off.  
When the EdgeFLEX 600 is powered, the timing OUT 1 port is synchronized to the timing signal  
received on timing port IN 1. OUT 2 is connected to IN 2 in the same manner.  
Connecting the Alarm Contacts  
The EdgeFLEX 600 is equipped with four voltage sense inputs (range 5 to 75Vdc) for detecting external  
circuit closures, and contact outputs (NO/C/NC) for Critical, Major, Minor, Audible and Visible alarms.  
Refer to Appendix A for the connector pinouts, and the Management card label for contact location. To  
connect the alarm contact wiring to the relay connectors, perform the following steps:  
1. Remove the alarm terminal blocks from the EdgeFLEX 600 accessory kit.  
2. The round holes in the top and bottom rows are the wire insertion points. These holes have a  
spring-loaded retaining mechanism. To release the retaining mechanism, carefully insert a  
small probe (such as a small screwdriver) into the square hole directly above or below the  
desired wire location, then insert the wire into the corresponding round hole. Remove the probe  
to re-engage the retaining mechanism and lock the wire in place.  
Insert the wires from the contact closures into the appropriate locations on the terminal blocks  
in this fashion until the connections to each block have been made as desired.

screws on each terminal block.  
Connecting Network Cables  
Selecting the Appropriate Network Cables  
The EdgeFLEX 600 is capable of providing a variety of different interface types to connect to the  
network. In general, the ports on the SCPX cards are regarded as high-speed “trunk” or network-side  
ports, and the ports on the linecards in the upper slot positions are regarded as “tributary” or customer-  
side ports, though no such distinctions between interfaces are made in the management system. The  
EdgeFLEX 600 can accommodate the following network interfaces:

1. At the front of the chassis, locate the 10/100 Ethernet cable(s) to install.  
2. Insert the RJ-45 cable connector into the appropriate 10/100 Ethernet interface connector on an  
Ethernet card.  
Connecting to DS1/E1 Interfaces  
The EdgeFLEX 600 DS1/E1 interface cards use a special high-density connector and octopus cable  
connect to a sixteen port breakout-panel that provides standard RJ-style physical interfaces.  
To connect the DS1/E1 POD to the DS1/E1 breakout panel, perform the following steps:  
1. At the front of the chassis, locate the high-density connector on the DS1/E1 POD to be  
connected.  
2. Insert the high-density plug on the octopus cable into the high-density connector on the DS1/  
E1 card as shown below. The connector will snap into place if seated correctly.  
3. Connect the sixteen DS1/E1 connectors on the octopus cable to the sixteen DS1/E1 RJ-48  
connectors into the back of the DS1/E1 breakout panel, as shown below. Each connector on the  
breakout cable is tagged with its port number; be sure to plug the correct connector into each  
receptacle on the breakout panel.

4. Finally, connect the individual DS1/E1 lines to the physical interfaces provided on the breakout  
panel. (In the example below, ports 15 and 16 are connected by a small loopback connector for  
testing purposes.)  
Connecting to Optical Interfaces  
DANGER! DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE END OF A FIBER-OPTIC CABLE. FIBER-OPTIC  
CABLES WITH LIGHT EMITTING FROM THE END OF THE CABLE CAN CAUSE INJURY TO YOUR EYE.  
To connect optical network cables (SONET/SDH OC-3/12/48, STM-1/4/16 or Gigabit Ethernet) to the  
EdgeFLEX 600, perform the following steps:  
1. At the front of the chassis, locate the fiber optic cable(s) to install.  
2. Remove the dust plugs from SFP optics module, and set aside for safe keeping. Whenever fiber  
optic cables will be removed from the SFP module for more than a short time, the dust plugs  
should be re-inserted into the SFP to keep the optics clean and free from dust.  
Similarly, if there are dust plugs on the duplex cable connector of the fiber optic cable, remove  
and store these for future use.  
3. Insert the LC duplex cable connector into the appropriate optical interface connector on the  
card. Note that fiber orientation of the transceiver is Transmit on the left, Receive on the right.

The alarm inputs are polarity insensitive; the A and B designations in the following table simply  
represent the labeling on the management card itself.  
The circuitry associated with these pins will sense voltage and/or current changes on the two IN pins in  
a set (i.e., pins 1 and 2 represent Input 1). The Voltage Threshold is 5-75Vdc and maximum current is  
0.5 Amps.  
The inputs are current limited and will never present a load greater than 2 milliamps to the source. The  
platform is protected from excessive voltage at its input by a 0.5A non-user-serviceable fuse.  
NO and NC status applies to a powered system only; when the system is powered down, NO becomes  
NC as a fail-safe mechanism.
