Chapter 1. Commissioning
This chapter describes the commissioning process and commissioning tests for
9500 MXC.
Refer to:
• Commissioning Process on page 1-1
• Commissioning Tests on page 1-3
• Commissioning Records on page 1-18
Commissioning Process
Commissioning ensures 9500 MXC:
• Is installed correctly
• Is correctly configured
• Has passed all tests
• Is operating to plan and running alarm and error-free
• Has had all relevant commissioning data recorded
• Is ready for traffic carrying duty
The nodal design of 9500 MXC means that one INU/INUe usually supports
multiple links.
• Compared with a traditional single-link commissioning procedure, where the
link is signed-off as one entity, for 9500 MXC a combination node-and-link
procedure is required, using the node as the common reference.
The process and procedures recommended for a 9500 MXC Node also generally
apply to the Terminal.
