4.1.1 Recommended Rack

iPASOLINK VR 2 should be mounted on the19-inch Rack whose two post frames,
square U-shaped or channel, face their channel sides to make the air duct rooms.
iPASOLINK VR 2 provides the air outlets on its both sides, which requires rooms on
its both sides to avoid rise in temperature.

Example below uses EIA 310-D [IEC-60297] Rack:

3. Secure both ends of the IDU to the 19-Inch Rack using four screws.

IDU

Even in the 19-Inch Rack, this IDU needs the following spaces to avoid rise in
temperature:

 Keep at least 200 mm (approx. 7.9 inches) of clearance behind.

 Interspace at least one rack unit* above and below the IDU when multiple
IDUs are mounted in the same rack.

4.2 Replace Fuse

Fuses on the IDU cannot be replaced at the customer site. If the IDU does not turn on
even though the power is supplied, contact NEC.

4.3 Mount SFP Module

ATTENTION!
It is recommended to use the designated SFPs supplied by NEC for use in
iPASOLINK VR 2. NEC does not guarantee the performances of iPASOLINK if
other vendors’ SFP modules are installed.

SFP MODULE PORT

(Main Card above uses MC-SV as an example.)

4.3.1 SFP Module

The Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) is a compact and hot-pluggable transceiver
designed to support Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) interface in the iPASOLINK.
iPASOLINK offers the following five options for SFP modules:

1) Single Mode Fiber (SMF): This SFP complies with 1000BASE-LX Ethernet
Interface. The SFP operates with the 1310 nm laser transmitter and has a
duplex LC connector.

2) Multi Mode Fiber (MMF): This SFP complies with 1000 BASE-SX Ethernet

5.1.2 Connect Interface Cable with L-Shaped Plug to IDU

(1) Protect the joint of plug and cable by wrapping the vinyl tape around:
It is strongly recommended to wrap vinyl tape around the joint of the plug and cable for
the IF Cable terminated with the L-Shaped Plug. See below:

PLUG BODY 1. Wrap the tape for one to 1.5 times carefully around
the joint from the starting point as shown at the left
start here photograph.
NOTE: Ensure not to twist the cable against the plug
while wrapping the joint.

20 mm wide tape
is recommended.
2. Keep wrapping till the tape reaches midway up the
middle of the plug. See Step 4. below for the
measurements.

3. Tightly wrap the tape around the joint for more than
four or five times pressing the tape by fingers.

4. Referring to the example shown left, check if the

tape is appropriately wrapped.

iPASOLINK VR 2 provides a function to start up the equipment using the configuration

information data stored in the USB memory device.

6.1.2.1 Preparation

Followings should be considered for the data to be used for this function:

 NE Names should be identical. This means that if an NE Name is registered to the

equipment, the stored data should have the same NE Name, and also that if the
equipment has no NE Name, then the stored data should not have the NE Name
either.

 The Configuration file with no NE Name can be applied for either system with or
without an NE Name.

 If Configuration data of multiple NEs are stored in the USB memory device, the
data with the identical NE Name (including no name) to that of the connected
equipment will be uploaded.

 Followings show their file paths when the storage is USB memory device:
