Installation Overview
IFUs are loaded with default system attributes at the factory. At the
customers designated staging area, the customer-specific attributes,
identified in the site database, are downloaded to the IFU, which is then ready
for installation. At the installation site, the IFU is installed on a mounting
bracket, aligned, and commissioned. When all installation tests are complete
and expected results are achieved on all IFU sites, the network is ready for
customer acceptance.
Site Engineering Folder
Before installing the IFU, the site must be prepared with the appropriate
cables, demarcation box, and any equipment as detailed in the site
engineering folder. (Refer to the Invisible Fiber Fast Ethernet Site
Evaluation Guide for details about the contents of the site engineering folder).
The site engineering folder is referenced throughout this document. Photos
and diagrams of the site are included in the folder.
