Warning: Because invisible radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the
port when no fiber optic cable is connected, avoid exposure to radiation and do not stare into
open apertures.
• The fiber optics ports must never be exposed during operation.
• Each of the ports must be connected to a fiber optic cable, terminated at the far end, or
covered with a proper protection cap supplied with the system.
The laser equipment complies with laser product performance standards set by government
agencies for Class 1 laser products per IEC 60825-1. The product and its accessories do not
emit hazardous light and the beam is totally enclosed during all operating modes of customer
operation and maintenance.
Warning Instructions
• Never assume laser power is turned off or that the fiber is disconnected at the other end.
• Place a protective cap over any radiating optical fiber connector.
• Avoid direct eye exposure.
Laser Warning: Indicates information on how to avoid personal injury. All personnel
involved in equipment installation, operation, and maintenance must be aware that laser
radiation is invisible. Therefore, although protective devices generally prevent direct exposure
to the beam, personnel must strictly observe the applicable safety precautions and, in
particular, must avoid staring into optical connectors, either directly or using optical
instruments.

1. System Overview
1.1. Platform Description
Provide Triple-Play in the Local Loop
The Hi-FOCuS M41 provides the full range of Triple-Play services in a compact, durable and
user-friendly shelf. The Hi-FOCuS M41 is specifically designed to fit in cramped areas with
harsh environmental conditions such as street cabinets, communications rooms, and
basements. It is highly flexible and versatile and minimizes deployment costs.
Meet the Needs of Remote Deployment
With the increasing demand for enhanced DSL services, phone companies are looking for a
DSL solution that will run over their existing infrastructure. As these bandwidth requirements
increase, the equipment providing it over copper lines must move closer to subscribers. DSL
deployment in the field creates many challenges. Housing space is at a premium and can
cause deployment cost per subscriber to be uneconomical. Additional concerns include
tolerance of weather conditions and providing power to locations that may have previously
held passive equipment.
The Hi-FOCuS M41 consists of five operating cards with supporting cards and modules. The
operating cards consist of a single network interface card (IPNI) and four tributary/line cards
connecting to subscribers. The IPNI can be connected directly to networks or it can be
subtended to a higher level Hi-FOCuS platform as shown in the diagrams below.
To make optimal use of existing telephone lines, xDSL equipment must be located near the
subscriber. It is in these locations that telephone cabinet space is most saturated. ECI’s Hi-
FOCuS™ is designed to confront these issues by providing high capacity Triple-Play service
requiring minimal infrastructure space and expense.
1.2. Benefits
The Hi-FOCuS M41:
• Supports up to 192 ADSL2+ or VDSL2 lines (future cards will enable 256 lines)
• Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network interface
• Can be powered locally or remotely
• Provides the option to integrate POTS splitters
• Provides line protection for subscriber and remote power pairs
• Horizontal mount
• Is easy to maintain and access for service
Each of the four ports from the IPNI to the line cards has the capacity of up 2 x GbE packet
data rate via the backplane.

Â
NOTE:
Attach the power cable forks with the opening of the forks facing downward on
the terminal. This allows the power cable to be routed to the cable guide without
interfering with the reinstallation of the M41 door.
3. Turn on the power of the rack that supplies power to the M41. The fan unit starts
running. If the fans in the chassis are not functioning normally, cut off the power and
check the fans.
4. Turn off the power of the rack and then reinsert the cards into the backplane.
7. Powering Up
System startup is accomplished by applying power via the power supply A and B switches or
via the PDF4 circuit breakers.
WARNING:
The shelf door must be reinstalled to ensure proper air flow/cooling and EMC
(Electro Magnetic Compatibility) standards. See Reassembling the Door for the
door's installation procedure.
8. Commissioning
For the M41 shelf to operate properly and communicate with the OPS, some default system
settings need to be changed. The following describes how to configure the network interface
cards with basic configuration information like IP addresses. More extensive configuration,
such as user profiles and system configuration, is performed by the OPS management
system.
9. Maintenance
All cards and modules in the M41 are field replaceable. All replacements are made at the
front of the shelf.
9.1. Hot-Swap
Hot swap is the capability to replace components under power without creating electrical and
physical damage. Moreover, each tributary card can be replaced under power without
interrupting the operation of other cards operating independently.
The FAN module can be replaced without effecting traffic if accomplished within a few
minutes. One of the CFU cards and one of the power supply sources can be replaced without
affecting traffic.
