The Host Stinger OLIM
The optical line interface module (OLIM) provides six 155.52-Mbps fiber optic
interfaces for connections between a Stinger host unit and up to six hosted Stinger
Compact Remote ATM DSLAM units acting as remote shelves.
Introducing the Stinger OLIM
Each 155Mbps optical connection to an OLIM carries user data traffic and control
channel data from a hosted Stinger Compact Remote ATM DSLAM unit. The control
channel data integrates the configuration and management of hosted Stinger CR
ATM DSLAM units into the TAOS interface of the host Stinger unit. The hosted units
are configured in the TAOS interface of the host Stinger as remote shelves.
Installing an OLIM
A host Stinger unit can support up to 48 hosted Stinger CR ATM DSLAM units with
four fully utilized OLIMs or a greater number of partially utilized OLIMs. The
procedure for installing an OLIM in the host Stinger chassis is identical to the
installation procedure for any other LIM. See the
Getting Started Guide
for the host
Stinger unit for detailed LIM installation instructions.
After installing the OLIM and connecting the optical links to the COPs of Stinger
Compact Remote ATM DSLAM units, you verify the status of the card and its
connections by checking the status lights.
