The Nortel NTK555AAE5 is a shelf processor circuit pack for the Optical Metro 5100 and 5200. The shelf processor is the management card of the shelf: it holds the node configuration, drives the alarms and provisioning interface and coordinates the traffic carrying packs around it. We would still ask you to check the release code against the equipment it is destined for, because suffixes inside one part number are not always interchangeable.
The Optical Metro range multiplexes many client services onto a single fibre pair, with each wavelength handled by its own circuit pack. Because wavelength and client rate are set by the card rather than in software, the exact part number and optical variant decide whether a spare will drop straight into a working shelf.
