If an LCM was mounted in the node at the manufacturer, it should be configured correctly as shipped.
  • Page 35 Local Control Module Configuration Procedure Note: During the module check, the LCM micro-controller samples the inputs from the optical transmitters (up to 4), optical receivers (up to 4), power supplies (up to 2), and AC lines (up to 2), to determine which of these items are installed in the node. The LCM also attempts to contact optical switches and EDFAs that may be present in the hub/node.
