Installing the System Installation Overview
Installation Overview
The flowchart in the following figure provides an overview of the tasks you need to perform
when installing the ML600. For configuration without MetaASSIST View, remove the
dipswitch cover and set the dipswitches. See Dipswitch Configuration (on page 5).
Figure 1: Installation tasks flowchart
After completing the installation, proceed with Powering Up the ML600.
For configuration not via the dipswitch, configure system parameters via MetaASSIST View,
TL1 or SNMP.
4 ML600 Release 5.0a Quick Installation Guide
Installation Overview Installing the System
Dipswitch Configuration
Overview
Dipswitches are used for quick installation of the ML600 in various topologies.
Configuration of the system by the dipswitches applies some predefined configuration that
cannot be changed remotely. For this reason configuration by the dipswitches is
recommended only if service customization (such as VLAN-awareness of bridge, VLAN IDs,
Spectral Mode of HSL, etc.) is inapplicable and simple media converter abilities meet an
installation requirement. Otherwise, configuration using MetaASSIST View is strongly
recommended, see “Configuration” in the ML600 User Manual.
There are 2 active dipswitches (DS) from 4 available on ML600, as described below (as
appears from the right to the left):
DS#1 is used to apply some pre-defined service configuration, different from factory.
DS#1 must be set equally on 2 adjacent ML600 connected by copper pairs. In case of
mismatch, no Service and Management access to remote ML600 are available.
DS#1, when changed to ON, applies Restart, clears all previous configuration data
(applies Factory Setup, see “Appendix D - Factory Setup Content” and then applies Preset
Setup, see “Appendix L - Preset Setup Content” in the ML600 User Manual. DS#1, when
changed to OFF, does not cause any restart or configuration change.
DS#2 is used to apply HSL mode (-O -Office), different from factory (-R -Customer).
DS#2 is in effect only when DS#1 is On. DS#2 must be set differently on 2 linked ML600
connected by copper pairs. ML600 installed on Central Office site should be set to -O
(Office) DS#2 is On. ML600 installed on Customer site should be set to -R (Customer)
DS#2 is Off.
Note: Changing DS#2 does not cause Restart.
In case of ML688 (with 2 HSLs), DS#2 performs as follows:
ML688 DS#2 = Off means HSL-1 (represented by MLP-{1-4}) mode is set to -O
(Office) and HSL-2 (represented by MLP-{5-8}) mode is set to -R (Customer);
ML688 DS#2 = On means both HSLs' mode is (-O -Office) (performing as Point
to Dual Point STU-R). Configuration of 2 HSLs as -R (Customer) is achievable
via TL1/MetaASSIST View.
DS#3 - not in use;
DS#4 - not in use;
Configuration provided on DS#1= ON (Preset) - provides plug-and-play approach, achieving
Ethernet traffic via Actelis systems without additional configuration. See “Appendix L -
Preset Setup Content” in the ML600 User Manual.
ML600 Release 5.0a Quick Installation Guide 5
Installing the System Installation Overview
Configuring the system using the dipswitches only:
Remove the label sticker on left of rear side.
To enable P2P topology with Preset setup:
On Remote NE ML600 (Customer side), set Dipswitch #1 to On (Down) and Dipswitches
#2, #3 and #4 to Off (Up);
On Central Office NE ML600, set Dipswitches #1 and #2 to On (Down) and Dipswitches
#3 and #4 to Off (Up).
To enable P2P Chained (Drop & Continue) topology with Preset setup:
Use ML688 model with dual HSL as intermediate Network Elements;
On ML600, installed not in Central office (End Network Element and all intermediate
Network Elements), set Dipswitch #1 to On (Down) and Dipswitches #2, #3 and #4 to
Off (Up);
On ML600, installed in Central Office, set Dipswitches #1 and #2 to On (Down) and
Dipswitches #3 and #4 to Off (Up).
To enable Point-to-dual-Point topology with Preset setup:
Use ML688 model with dual HSL as Central Office Network Element;
On ML688, installed in Central Office, set Dipswitches #1 and #2 to On (Down) and
Dipswitches #3 and #4 to Off (Up).
6 ML600 Release 5.0a Quick Installation Guide
Installation Overview Installing the System
On 2 Remote NE ML600 (Customer side), set Dipswitch #1 to On (Down) and
Dipswitches #2, #3 and #4 to Off (Up);
Note: The dipswitches are very small in size. Use a small device such as a paper clip or
small pointed object and gently adjust the switch.
! Caution: Never use a pencil to adjust the dipswitch as the residue from the pencil
can damage the system.
ML600 Release 5.0a Quick Installation Guide 7
Installing the System Installation Overview
Mounting the ML600
The ML600 unit can be mounted in the following ways:
one or two units in 1U x 19” rack mount sleeve mounted in 19” (482 mm), 23” (584 mm)
or ETSI racks;
on a horizontal surface (desktop);
on a wall.
Rack Mounting
For 19”/23”/ETSI racks: For rack mount use the rack mount sleeve. See “Appendix B -
Parts List” in the ML600 User Manual for list of parts. The following figure presents the
installation of brackets for mount option.
The mounting brackets for 19” and 23” racks can be positioned so that their flanges are flush
with the front of the unit or offset by 5” (127 mm). In the following figure, the 19” bracket is
shown flush, the 23” bracket is shown offset by 5” and the ETSI bracket is shown with offset
of 40 mm.
Figure 2: Methods for attaching rack mounting brackets
Note: Since primary airflow and cooling for the ML600 unit occurs through the front and rear
of the unit, it is acceptable to stack multiple unit on top of one another in a standard
equipment rack, without leaving airspace between the units.

Attaching the Brackets to the rack mount sleeve
Use the supplied M4 x 6 screws and secure the bracket to the rack mount sleeve with the
Phillips #2 screwdriver.
Securing the Rack Mount Sleeve to the equipment Rack
! Caution: Attach the rack mount sleeve to the rack according to the instructions
provided by the rack manufacturer.
Use #12-24 or M6 (quantity of 4) mounting screws to attach the rack mount sleeve to the
rack. Make sure rack mount sleeve is leveled.
Securing the ML600 to the Rack Mount Sleeve
Insert the ML600 into the rack mount sleeve and secure the two captive screws with a
Phillips #1 screwdriver. See the following figure.

Installing the System Installation Overview
Horizontal Surface Mounting
Place the ML600 on a table or other horizontal surface. The ML600 comes with rubber feet in
the accessory kit that can be used to help keep the ML600 from sliding on the surface or
scratching it.
Figure 4: Attaching the rubber feet
Attach the rubber feet to the four corners on the bottom of the unit within the indented circles.
Use a sturdy surface in an uncluttered area.
Note: You may want to secure the networking cables and ML600 power cord to the table leg
or other part of the surface structure to help prevent tripping over the cords.
! Caution: Make sure the air flow is not restricted around the front and rear of the
ML600.

Installation Overview Installing the System
Wall Mounting
You can mount the ML600 on a wall using the wall mount bracket, see “Appendix B - Parts
List” in the ML600 User Manual, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 5: Securing the ML600 to the wall bracket
Attaching the ML600 to a wall.
Attach the wall mount bracket to the wall or wood surface with four 5/8-inch number 12
wood screws (not included) and make sure wall mount is leveled. Attach the ML600 to the
wall mount bracket and secure the 4 captive screws. Unit can be mounted with front panel on
right or left hand side. Keep LEDs close to wall.
! Caution: The ML600 should be mounted only to a wall or wood surface that is at least
1/2-inch plywood or its equivalent. For corner mounting keep clearance for cables.
! Caution: Make sure the air flow is not restricted around the front and rear of the
ML600.
