FMEC-E1 Front Mount Electrical Connection Card Description
The ONS15454 SDH FMEC-E1 Front Mount Electrical Connection card (Figure 1) provides front mount electrical connection for the fourteen ITU-compliant G.703 E-1 ports of the E1-N-14 card. With FMEC-E1, each E1-N-14 port operates at 2.048 MBits/s (Mbps) over a 75 ohms unbalanced 1.0/2.3 miniature coax connector.
Figure 1 shows the FMEC-E1 faceplate. Figure 2 shows the block diagram.
Figure 1 FMEC-E1 faceplate
You can install the FMEC-E1 card in any EFCA (Electrical Facility Connector Assy) slot from slot 18 to 22 or slot 25 to 29 on the ONS 15454 SDH. Each FMEC-E1 card port features E1-level inputs and outputs supporting cable losses of up to 6 dB @ 1024 kHz.

Installation Procedures
Use this section if you are installing or removing the FMEC-E1 card for the first time. After you become familiar with ONS 15454 SDH card installation and boot up, use this section as a reference.
CautionAlways use the supplied electrostatic discharge (ESD) wristband when working with an ONS 15454 SDH. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower right outside edge of the shelf assembly and ensure the shelf assembly is properly grounded.
CautionHazardous voltage or energy may be present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when servicing.
Step 1
Carefully insert the card into the rails of the desired slot (Figure 3).
Step 2
Move the upper ejector down and the lower ejector up to enable the card being inserted into the backplane connectors.
Step 3
Gently push the card into the connector on the back plane.
Step 4
Tighten the front mounting screws with a Phillips or slot screwdriver.
FMEC-E1 cards have electrical plugs that plug into electrical connectors on the shelf assembly backplane. When the ejectors are fully closed and the mounting screws are tightened, the card plugs into the shelf assembly backplane. Figure 3 shows general card installation.

Card Turn Up
Follow the steps in this section to verify card turn up. If one or more of the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) software screen conditions according to "Verify Successful Turn Up of the FMEC-E1 Card" section are not met, re-install the card. Replace the unit if the faulty state persists.
Verify Successful Turn Up of the FMEC-E1 Card
Step 1
Verify that power is applied to the shelf assembly.
Step 2
Verify that the FMEC-E1 card has been installed in the correct slot (Slot 18 to 22 or 25 to 29, for the E1-N-14 card in slot 1 to 5 or 13 to 17, respectively).
Step 3
Verify that the card appears in the correct slot on the CTC software screen.
Step 4
Verify that the card is white on the CTC software screen.
Step 5
Verify that the card is shown in Inventory on the CTC software screen.
Removal Procedures
Use this section if you are installing or removing the FMEC-E1 card for the first time. After you become familiar with ONS 15454 SDH card installation and boot up, use this section as a reference.
CautionAlways use the supplied electrostatic discharge (ESD) wristband when working with an ONS 15454 SDH. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower right outside edge of the shelf assembly and ensure the shelf assembly is properly grounded.
CautionHazardous voltage or energy may be present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when servicing.
Step 1
If there is traffic on the card, route this traffic to other interfaces.
Step 2
Disconnect all the coaxial cables with 1.0/2.3 miniature coax connectors from the FMEC card to be removed. Do not forget to mark all the connectors or cables for correct reinstallation afterwards.
Note
To disconnect the coaxial cable from the FMEC, first pull the outer ring of the connector, then pull the connector. Pulling the cable without first having pulled the outer ring of the connector to release its locking can result in damage to the cable or the connector or both.
Step 3
Loosen the front mounting screws (Figure 3).
Step 4
Move the upper ejector up and the lower ejector down to extract the card from the backplane connectors.
Step 5
Carefully remove the card from the shelf.

Technical Assistance Center
The Cisco TAC is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two types of support are available through the Cisco TAC: the Cisco TAC Web Site and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center.
Inquiries to Cisco TAC are categorized according to the urgency of the issue:
•
Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration.
•
Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably impaired, but most business operations continue.
•
Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects of business operations. No workaround is available.
•
Priority level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.
Which Cisco TAC resource you choose is based on the priority of the problem and the conditions of service contracts, when applicable.
Cisco TAC Web Site
The Cisco TAC Web Site allows you to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC Web Site, go to the following URL:
All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco services contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site. The Cisco TAC Web Site requires a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to the following URL to register:
http://www.cisco.com/register/
If you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC Web Site, and you are a Cisco.com registered user, you can open a case online by using the TAC Case Open tool at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen
If you have Internet access, it is recommended that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC Web Site.
Cisco TAC Escalation Center
The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses issues that are classified as priority level 1 or priority level 2; these classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer will automatically open a case.
To obtain a directory of toll-free Cisco TAC telephone numbers for your country, go to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml
Before calling, please check with your network operations center to determine the level of Cisco support services to which your company is entitled; for example, SMARTnet, SMARTnet Onsite, or Network Supported Accounts (NSA).
