Overview of the OptiX OSN 7500
This chapter describes the positioning and application of the OptiX OSN 7500 intelligent optical switching system (the OptiX OSN 7500 for short) in an optical transmission network. The OptiX OSN 7500 is a piece of new generation equipment that Huawei has developed based on what the metropolitan area network (MAN) is like and its development trend in the future. As a piece of optical core switching (OCS) equipment, it is mainly used on the service grooming node at the backbone layer of the MAN as an intelligent optical switching platform. It features large switching capacity with a maximum of 240 Gbit/s higher order cross connection and 40 Gbit/s lower order cross connection. In addition, the OptiX OSN 7500 provides intelligent features that are convenient and flexible to implement. The intelligent features help the OptiX OSN 7500 to realise dynamic switching, intelligent service routing and end-to-end service configuration, thus greatly improving bandwidth utilisation. The OptiX OSN 7500 integrates the following technologies:

Synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) Plesiochronous digital hierarchy (PDH) Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) Ethernet Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) Storage area network (SAN) Digital data network (DDN) Automatically switched optical network (ASON)
With the ASON features, the OptiX OSN 7500 enjoys the functions of intelligent route search of services and end-to-end configuration. Hence, the OptiX OSN 7500 equipment can be used with convenience and flexibility. The network bandwidth utilization is thus effectively improved. Figure 1-1 shows the outer view of the OptiX OSN 7500.

2.7 Intelligent Features

The intelligent software system can be bundled with or separated from the OptiX OSN 7500 as required. If it is not equipped with the intelligent software system, the OptiX OSN 7500 does not support the intelligent features described in this document.
The OptiX OSN 7500 provides a set of stand-alone intelligent software system that is quite convenient and flexible to use for dynamic bandwidth allocation, intelligent service routing and configuration of services. The bandwidth utilisation is improved. The intelligent features help the OptiX OSN 7500 to:

Support automatic end-to-end service configuration. Support service level agreement (SLA). Support mesh networking and protection. Provide traffic engineering control to guarantee load-balance traffic network wide and improve the bandwidth availability. Provide distributed mesh network protection including real-time rerouting and pre-configuration. Support span protection and end-to-end service protection, improving the scalability of the network.
2.8 Built-in WDM Technology

The functions of the built-in WDM technology of the OptiX OSN 7500 are described below.

The N1MR2A or N1MR2C board adds/drops two adjacent standard wavelengths compliant with ITU-T G.692 (DWDM). The operating wavelength ranges from 1535.82 nm to 1560.61 nm. The N1MR2A or N1MR2C board serves as an OTM station adding/dropping two channels of signals. Two N1MR2A boards connected serially can form an OTM station adding/dropping four channels.
Issue 04 (2007-12-10)
2-13
2 Functions

Two N1MR2C boards connected serially can form an OTM station adding/dropping four channels. The N1MR2A or N1MR2C board can work with the N1LWX to form an OADM station adding/dropping two channels of signals. The N1LWX board converts client-side signals into ITU-T G.692 (DWDM) compliant standard wavelength signals. Two types of N1LWX boards are available: one is single-fed single receiving, and the other is dual-fed signal selection. The dual-fed signal selection N1LWX board supports intra-board protection, realising optical channel protection with one board. The protection switching time is less than 50ms. The single-fed single receiving N1LWX board supports inter-board protection, that is, 1+1 inter-board hot backup protection. The protection switching time is less than 50ms.
2.9 Remote Pumping Amplifier System

The transmitting distance of optical signals is increased by using the optical pumping amplifier system in the OptiX OSN products. The optical pumping amplifier system consists of BA optical amplifier board, ROP board and filter isolating board (FIB). Figure 2-3 shows the typical optical pumping amplifier system.

2.10 Intelligent Power Adjustment

The OptiX OSN 7500 provides the function of intelligent power adjustment (IPA). The IPA function is to shut down the pump laser when the receiving side of the line board detects no input of signals. Therefore, the damage to eyes by too much laser power is avoided. In a transmission system, the optical signals in optical paths may be lost because of a fiber cut, equipment degrade or connector disconnection. To prevent the damage to human bodies, especially eyes, the system provides the IPA function. When the optical signals in the one or several optical trunk sections of the main optical path are lost, the system detects the signal loss and shuts down the uplink optical amplifier. Several seconds later, the laser of the downlink optical amplifier is also shut down. When the optical signals recover, the optical amplifier resumes working.

2 Functions
2.11 External Clock Output Shutdown Function

The OptiX OSN 7500 provides the function of external clock output shutdown. Users can use the T2000 to issue a command to the cross-connect board to shut down or recover the two external T4 external clock outputs. Moreover, the current configuration status of the SCC can also be queried. When the function is performed, no external clock signals are output. In addition, the software cannot automatically recover the clock output unless the T2000 issues a command to disable the function. By default, the external clock output shutdown function is not enabled. In other words, external clock signals are output by default.
2.12 Resilient Packet Ring

The resilient packet ring (RPR) is suitable for ring topology and is able to restore services from a broken fibre and link failure. The RPR performs the following functions:

Provides the topology automatic discovery function to reflect the network status in real time. Supports fair algorithm by configurable weight and supporting five service levels. Supports a maximum of 255 nodes in the ring network and supporting stripping at the destination node. Solves fairness and congestion control problems. Provides RPR protection
2.13 REG Function

The OptiX OSN 7500 supports joint application of REG and ADM, as shown in Figure 2-4.

2.14 Board Version Replacement

The board version replacement function replaces an old version board with a new version board. After the replacement, the configuration and service status of the new version board are consistent with those of the old version board. This function provides a flexible board replacement scheme, and thus lowers the equipment cost and the maintenance cost. Currently for OptiX OSN 7500, the board version replacement function is supported by the N1SL64, N2SLQ16, N2PQ1, N2EFS0, N4EFS0, N2EGS2 and N2EFS4 boards. For detailed replacement relations of boards that support this function, refer to the OptiX OSN 7500 Troubleshooting. When using the board version replacement function, note the following two points:

If an N2 version line board is used to replace an N1 version line board, AU-3 services and TCM function cannot be configured on the N2 version line board. The line board to be replaced cannot have optical-path-shared MSP configured.
2.15 TCM
Tandem connection monitor (TCM) is a method used to monitor bit errors. If a VC-4 passes through several networks, the bit errors of each section can be monitored through TCM. The N2SL1, N2SLQ1, N2SLO1, N2SL4, N2SLD4, N2SLQ4, N2SL16, N2SL16A, N2SLQ16 and T2SL64A boards support TCM at the VC-4 level.
2.16 E13 Function

The OptiX OSN 7500 supports the E13 function. The E13 function helps multiplex E1 (1) signals into E3 (16) signals or de-multiplex E3 signals to E1 signals. There are two modes for the E13 function: Transmux and Transmux Server.
The remote NE transmits the E1/E3 services in VC-12/VC-3 granularities to the central NE by the SDH line.
Issue 04 (2007-12-10)
2-17
2 Functions
The central NE disassembles the received services into E1 signals.

For E1 services, the central NE directly de-multiplexes VC-12 signals to E1 signals. For E3 services, the central NE first de-multiplexes VC-3 signals into E3 signals. The E13 function is then performed to de-multiplex E3 signals into E1 signals.
The central NE first grooms E1 signals and then aggregates these E1 signals to form E3 signals by using the E13 function. The E3 signals are then output.

If the aggregated E3 signals are output to the local application equipment, the mode is the Transmux mode. If the aggregated E3 signals are output to other transmission equipment through the SDH line, this mode is the Transmux Server mode.
2.17 Network Management Information Interworking

When the network management information of the OptiX OSN 7500 is to be transparently transmitted by the third-party equipment or when the network management information of the third-party equipment is to be transmitted transparently by the OptiX OSN 7500, the following three schemes can be applied.

4.3 NE Software
The NE software is used to manage, monitor and control the operation of the boards of an NE. The NM system uses the NE software, which is the communication unit between the NM system and boards, to control and manage NEs. According to ITU-T Recommendation M.3010, the NE software belongs to the unit management layer in the telecommunication management network, implementing the functions including NE functions, some of coordination functions and operating system functions of the network unit layer. The data communication function implements the communication between the NE and other equipment (including coordinated equipment, NM system, and other NEs).
Real-time multi-task operating system
The function of the real-time multi-task operating system of the OptiX OSN 7500 NE software is to manage public resources and provide support for the executive programme. It can provide an executive environment unrelated to processor hardware by segregating the application from the processor.
Network side (NS) module
The NS module is between the communication module and equipment management module. It converts the data format between the user operation side on the application layer and the NE equipment management layer, and provides security control for the NE layer. It can be functionally divided into three sub-modules Qx interface module, command line interface module and security management module.
Equipment administration module (AM)
The equipment AM is the kernel of the NE software for implementing NE management. It includes Manager and Agent. Administrator can send network management operation commands and receive events. Agent can respond to the network management operation commands sent by the network administrator, implement operations to the managed object and submit events according to status change of the managed object. The equipment AM includes configuration management module, performance management module, alarm management module and MSP switching management module.
Communication module
This module fulfils the message communication function (MCF) of the functional blocks of the transmission network equipment. Through the hardware interface provided by the SCC board, the communication module transmits the OAM&P information and exchanges management information between the NM system and NEs, and between NEs themselves. It consists of network communication module, serial communication module and ECC communication module.
Database management module
This module is an integral component of the NE software, and is composed of a database and a management system. The database comprises several sub databases, including network database, alarm database, performance database and equipment database. The management system manages and accesses the data in the database.

4.4 NM Software
The NM system implements a unified management over the optical transmission network, and maintains all ION, SDH, Metro, DWDM NE equipment in the network. In compliance with ITU-T Recommendation, it is a network management system that integrates the standard management information model and object-oriented management technology. It exchanges information with NE software by using the communication module to implement monitoring and management over the network equipment. The NM system applies the Qx interface to manage OptiX series equipment. The Qx interface applies Huawei OptiX exclusive management protocol. The NM software runs on a workstation or PC, managing the equipment and the transmission network. It enables the user to operate, maintain and manage the transmission equipment. The management functions of the NM software include:
Alarm management: Collect, prompt, filter, browse, acknowledge, check, clear, and statistics in real time; fulfils alarm insertion, alarm correlation analysis and fault diagnosis. Performance management: Set performance monitoring; browse, analyse and print performance data; forecast medium-term and long-term performance; and reset performance register. Configuration management: Configure and manage interfaces, clocks, services, trails, subnets and time. Security management: NM user management, NE user management, NE login management, NE login lockout, NE setting lockout and local craft terminal (LCT) access control of the equipment. Maintenance management: Provide loopback, board resetting, automatic laser shutdown (ALS) and optical fibre power detection, and collect equipment data to help the maintenance personnel in troubleshooting

4.5 Intelligent Software

The intelligent software is represented in a control plane which is layered on top of the transmission plane. The control plane interacts with the transmission plane to realise auto-configuration of service and provide service protection based on user levels. Figure 4-2 shows the relationship between the intelligent control plane and transmission plane.

5.1.2 Application
The OptiX OSN 7500 integrates the access of Ethernet services on the SDH transmission platform, so it can transmit both the voice service and data service.
EPL Service
EPL service based on port
EPL implements the point-to-point transparent transmission of Ethernet services. As shown in Figure 5-1, the Ethernet services of different NEs are transmitted to the destination node through their respective VCTRUNKs. The Ethernet service is provided with a perfect SDH self-healing ring (SHR) protection scheme, and its reliable transmission is thus guaranteed. Figure 5-1 EPL services based on port
NE 4 1 4 NE 1 2 5 NE 2
SHR
NE 3 3
Traffic flow
EPL service based on port +VLAN
EPL services are isolated through VLAN tags during bandwidth sharing. As shown in Figure 5-2, flow classification is performed for the Ethernet service according to the port and VLAN ID to distinguish different VLANs of Company A and B. Up to two priorities can be set according to the flow classification result.

Issue 04 (2007-12-10)
5 Data Features
For security purpose, the OptiX OSN 7500 isolates services of different users by VLAN. In the figure below, VLAN 1 of Company A shares a VCTRUNK with VLAN 11 of Company B, VLAN 2 of Company A shares a VCTRUNK with VLAN 12 of Company B, and VLAN 3 of Company A shares a VCTRUNK with VLAN 13 of Company B. All services of Company A are converged to NE1 and are outputed from the FE/GE interface of the NE1, and then are sent to the Lanswitch for further processing.

EVPL Service
The OptiX OSN 7500 adopts the Martini modes to construct the multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) Layer 2 VPN and provide EVPL services. The EVPL service offers point-to-point connection and implements service convergence for users. As shown in Figure 5-3, the system will search the Port + VLAN ID table for the external label (Tunnel) and internal label (VC), and add them to the accessed Ethernet frames. Data transfer in the network is based on the MPLS label, which switched at the label switch path (LSP). Then, the data will be transmitted to the NE4 equipment, which strips the MPLS label and transfers the data to the corresponding port. The OptiX OSN 7500 integrates the function of P equipment and PE equipment.

EPLAN Service
The OptiX OSN 7500 supports Layer 2 switching of Ethernet data, that is, the EPLAN service, which can be transferred according to their destination media access control (MAC) addresses. As shown in Figure 5-4, respective LANs of Company A and B are connected to four NEs. The Ethernet service between the NEs is not of a fixed point-to-point type. For example, a user of Company A connecting to NE3 may want to communicate with users of Company A connecting to other three NEs. That is, the flow direction of services is not definite. The Ethernet Layer 2 switching function provided by the OptiX OSN 7500 can be employed to solve such a problem. For example, an Ethernet MAC address transfer table will be formed in the system when the relevant settings are made to NE3. The system can learn to periodically update the table. Then, the data of Company A and B accessed at NE3 will be transmitted to their destinations over different VCTRUNKs selected according to their MAC transfer table or over the same VCTRUNK. In this way, the system configuration is significantly simplified and the bandwidth utility is improved. In addition, the corresponding maintenance and management becomes convenient for the operator.

EVPLAN Service
The OptiX OSN 7500 adopts the Martini MPLS Layer 2 VPN encapsulation format to support the Ethernet virtual private LAN (EVPLAN) services. EVPLAN services implement the multipoint-to-multipoint connection of user sites. Users regard the EVPLAN network as a big VLAN where the user service can be converged. As shown in Figure 5-5, when the users Ethernet frame (the source address is MAC H, and the destination address is MAC A, B or C) enters the PE equipment, the system will search the Layer 2 transfer table for the internal label (VC label). Then, the frame is transferred to the corresponding tunnel, where it is attached with the external label (tunnel label). Thus, different LSPs are set up according to different addresses. The MPLS labels are switched at the LSP, and then transferred to the corresponding PE equipment, where the tunnel and VC labels are striped. After that, the Ethernet frame is transferred to the corresponding output port according to the Layer 2 MAC transfer table.

5.1.3 Protection
The Ethernet service of the OptiX OSN equipment takes the protection of several levels, including:

Protection of LCAS STP/RSTP TPS BPS PPS LAG Protection of optical transmission layer, such as MSP and SNCP LPT
LCAS
LCAS provides an error tolerance mechanism, enhancing the reliability of concatenation. It has the following functions:
Configures the system capacity, add or reduce the number of VC involved in the concatenation and change the service bandwidth dynamically without damaging the service. Protects and recovers failed members.
As shown in Figure 5-6, LCAS can add or delete members to increase or decrease the bandwidth dynamically without affecting the service.

5 Data Features
STP/RSTP
The Ethernet boards support spanning tree protocol (STP) and rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP). The RSTP protects the link by restructuring the topology. When the RSTP is started, it can modify the logic network topology to avoid broadcast storms.
TPS
The OptiX OSN 7500 supports one 1:1 TPS protection groups for the N2EFS0 or N4EFS0.
BPS
BPS is a board level protection scheme, which applies an active board and an backup board. When the active board detects link down of any port or any faulty board hardware, the cross-connect board switches all services on the active board to the backup board. Services then are protected. Both the N1EGS4 and the N1EMS4 boards support BPS protection.
PPS
PPS is a protection scheme based on inter-board ports. This protection scheme also applies an active board and a backup board. When the active board detects link down of any port or any board hardware fault, the cross-connect board switches services of one or more ports affected to the backup board. In this way, the entire board needs not be switched. Compared with BPS, the PPS protection scheme decreases the effect to the external system and the network. Both the N1EGS4 and the N1EMS4 boards support PPS protection.
LAG
Link aggregation group (LAG) means that several links connected to the same equipment are bundled together to increase bandwidth and to enhance the link reliability. The aggregated links can be taken as one link. The LAG enjoys the following functions.
Raise usability of links
In a link aggregation group, each member links act as dynamic backup for each other. Once one link fails, other link takes over immediately.
Increase link bandwidth
LAG provides uses with economical method to improve link transmitting rate. By bundling several physical links, users then need not upgrade the equipment to obtain data links with larger bandwidth. The bandwidth of bundled links equals that the sum of that for each link.

Carry traffic together Improve reliability
Each link in the LAG acts as dynamic backup for each other. The aggregation modes fall into:

Dynamic aggregation Manual aggregation

5 Data Features
Static aggregation
The N1EMS4, N1EGS4, N2EFS4, N2EFS0 and N4EFS0 boards support link aggregation. Currently, only manual aggregation is supported.
MSP and SNCP

Ethernet service is protected by MSP or SNCP in optical transmission layer.
LPT
LPT function is on basis of link protection. When the active ports and the standby ports between routers in network belong to different links, protection can be thus realized through LPT function. When the active link goes faulty, the local ports are shut down and the router of the opposite end detects the link abnormality. The traffic is switched from the active port to the backup one and is thus protected.
5.2 RPR Features

This section describes the RPR features of the OptiX OSN 7500 in terms of function, application and protection. The N2EMR0 and N2EGR2 boards of the OptiX OSN 7500 support resilient packet ring (RPR) features defined by IEEE 802.17. RPR employs a dual-ring structure utilising a pair of unidirectional counter-rotating rings, as shown in Figure 5-8. Both the outer ring and the inner ring bear data packets and control packets, featuring high bandwidth utilisation. The control packets on the inner ring carry control information for the data packets on the outer ring, and the control packets on the outer ring carry control information for the data packets on the inner ring. The two rings act as backup and protect for each other. Figure 5-8 RPR ring

Service Class
The user service has three classes, A, B and C. On the RPR ring, class A falls into A0 and A1. Class B falls into B_CIR (Committed Information Rate) and B_EIR (Excess Information Rate). Table 5-5 gives the difference of these classes. Table 5-5 RPR service class Class A Sub-class A0 A1 B B_CIR B_EIR C C Bandwidth Allocated, irreclaimable Allocated, reclaimable Allocated, reclaimable Opportunistic Opportunistic Jitter Low Low medium High High Fair algorithm Irrelevant Irrelevant Irrelevant Relevant Relevant Application Real time Real time Near real time Near real time Best effort
Topology Discovery
The topology discovery function realizes the plug and play feature, for the function provides reliable method to discover the network nodes and their variation. In this case, the nodes of an RPR can be automatically added, deleted or switched. To increase or decrease the total bandwidth of an RPR, use the LCAS function. The LCAS features adding and reducing bandwidth dynamically without affecting existing services.
Spatial Reuse
The stripping of unicast frames at the destination station realises spatial reuse on an RPR. As shown in Figure 5-9, the bandwidth of a ring is 1.25 Gbit/s. Traffic 1 transferred from node 1 to node 4 is stripped from the ring at the destination node 4. After the arrival of traffic 1 at node 4, traffic 2 can be transferred from node 4 to node 3, by occupying the link capacity that would have been occupied by traffic 1 if it is not stripped at node 4.

Fairness Algorithm
The outer ring and the inner ring of an RPR support independent weighted fairness algorithm. The fairness algorithm assures access of the low-class B_EIR and C services. The weight of the fairness algorithm is provisionable to decide the access rate of a node. A node needs to set weights at the outer and the inner rings, and the two weights decide the bandwidth of low-class services upon bandwidth contention. As shown in Figure 5-10, the outer ring weights of nodes 2, 3 and 4 are 1. Suppose the available bandwidth on the outer ring for low-class services is 1.2 Gbit/s, the fairness algorithm will allocate 400 Mbit/s for the low-class services from nodes 2, 3 and 4 to node 1 respectively. Figure 5-11 shows a fairness algorithm with different weights: the weights of nodes 2, 3 and 4 on the outer ring are 1, 3 and 2. The fairness algorithm allocates 200 Mbit/s for node 2, 600 Mbit/s for node 3 and 400 Mbit/s for node 4.

5.2.2 Application
The N2EMR0 and N2EGR2 boards support the application of EVPL and EVPLAN services.
EVPL
The EVPL service supports traffic classification based on port or port + VLAN, and encapsulates and forwards the traffic in the form of MPLS MartiniOE. Figure 5-12 illustrates the accessing, forwarding and stripping of a unidirectional EVPL service. Node 2 inserts Tunnel and VC labels to the packet, sends it to the RPR. Node 3 forwards the packet and the destination node 4 strips it. Figure 5-13 illustrates the EVPL service convergence,

EVPLAN
The EVPLAN service supports traffic classification based on port or port + VLAN, and encapsulates and forwards the traffic in the form of stack VLAN. The EVPLAN service is realized by creating virtual bridge (VB) in the board. VB supports source MAC address learning and static MAC route configuration. Figure 5-14 shows an example of EVPLAN service. The VB of each node determines the forward port of packets and the destination node

through address learning, rpr1 is the port to access packets to the RPR. For node 1, if the destination address is A1, the packet is forwarded through port 1; if the destination is A2, the packet is forwarded through port 2. If the destination is B1, B2 or C1, the packet is forwarded through port rpr1 to the RPR, added with a stack VLAN label being 100. Node 2 forwards packets in the same way. Figure 5-14 EVPLAN service

5.2.3 Protection
The RPR service of the OptiX OSN equipment takes the protection of several levels, including:

Wrapping, Steering and Wrapping + Steering LCAS RSTP Protection of optical transmission layer, such as MSP, SNCP.
Wrapping
The protection switching time is less than 50ms. As illustrated in Figure 5-15, traffic is transferred from node 4 to node 1 through nodes 3 and 2. If there is a fibre cut between node 2 and node 3, the two nodes will wrap the traffic and connect the two rings together to protect the traffic.

Steering
For steering protection, a station shall not wrap a failed segment when a failure is detected. Instead, the source node will send traffic to the destination through a route avoiding the failed link. When there are not more than 16 nodes on the ring, the protection switching time is less than 50ms. The steering protection does not waste bandwidth, but it needs longer switching time when the networking is in large scale and some data before setting up a route may be lost when networking is in large scale. Figure 5-16 illustrates an example of steering protection. Node 4 sends traffic to node 1 on the outer ring through nodes 3 and 2. If there is a fiber cut between node 2 and node 3, the topology discovery function helps the traffic be transferred to node 1 over the inner ring through nodes 5 and 6.

Wrapping+Steering
The protection method of wrapping+steering switches the services first in the way of wrapping upon a failure on the ring, to ensure the switching speed and minimum packet loss. After the topology discovery protocol updates the topology after the failure, steering method works to ensure that the services are sent to the destination node through the best path in the new topology, which minimizes the waste of bandwidth. Figure 5-17 shows an example of wrapping+steering protection. Before a failure occurs in the ring, the service from node 4 to node 1 passes through node 3 and node 2 and reaches node 1 along the outer ring. When a fiber cut is detected between node 2 and node 3, wrapping method takes effect. The service is looped back at nodes 2 and 3. After the topology discovery protocol updates the topology, steering method triggers a switching. The service passes through nodes 5 and 6 and reaches node 1 along the inner ring based on the new topology.

5.3.1 Functions
The OptiX OSN 7500 provides four different ATM processing boards: ADL4, ADQ1, IDL4 and IDQ1. The IDL4 and the IDQ1 support inverse multiplexing for ATM (IMA). An ADL4/1IDL4 board accesses and processes one STM-4 ATM service and an ADQ1/IDQ1 board accesses and processes four STM-1 ATM services. When working with the N1PL3/N1PD3 board, the N1ADL4 board or N1ADQ1 board accesses and processes E3 ATM services. The functions of the ADL4, ADQ1 boards are listed in Table 5-6.

Supportable Services and Traffic Types
The OptiX OSN 7500 supports CBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VBR, and UBR services rather than ABR services.
CBR services apply to voice services, as well as video services and circuit simulation services of a constant bit rate. These services require guaranteed transmission bandwidth and latency. Rt-VBR services apply to audio and video services of a variable bit rate. Nrt-VBR services are mainly used for data transmission. UBR services are generally used for LAN simulation and file transmission.

In terms of the supported service and traffic types, the OptiX OSN 7500 meets IETF RFC2514, ATM Forum TM 4.0 and ATM Forum UNI 3.1 recommendations, as shown in the Table 5-8.

Application of Band Exclusive ATM Services

When the bandwidth is not shared, ATM services at the source and sink NEs are only processed at the ATM layer through the ATM service process board. On intermediate NEs, only SDH timeslot pass-through is performed, without ATM layer processing. In this case, each ATM service has the whole VC-3/VC-4 channel to itself. The ATM services are converged at the central node and then multiplexed to an STM-1 or STM-4 optical port for output. As shown in the Figure 5-18, the 34 Mbit/s ATM services of NE1 and NE3 each occupy a VC-3 bandwidth. The 155 Mbit/s ATM service of NE2 occupies a VC-4 bandwidth alone. SDH timeslot pass-through is only performed at NE3. After the services from NEs 1, 2, and 3 reach the central site NE4, the services are converged through the ATM board and output through the 622 Mbit/s optical interface.

Application of Band-Shared ATM Services

In shared rings VR-Ring and VC-Ring, the ATM services share the same bandwidth and are multiplexed statistically. The ATM services on each NE share the same VC (VC-3, VC-4, or VC-Xv) and are all processed on ATM layer.

Issue 04 (2007-12-10)
5 Data Features
As shown in the Figure 5-19, NE1 accesses E3 ATM traffic through the tributary board and sends it to the ATM board for ATM switching and protection (1+1/1:1) configuration. Then the traffic is encapsulated into VC-4-Xv and sent to the line through the cross-connect board. NE2 accesses STM-1 ATM traffic through the optical interface and then implements ATM switching and protection configuration. The ATM traffic from NE1 is also dropped at NE2 for ATM layer processing. Then the locally accessed traffic and the traffic from NE1 are encapsulated into the same VC-4-Xv and sent to the next NE. The same goes at NE3 and NE4. A single VP/VC-Ring can have a maximum bandwidth of 300 Mbit/s. Figure 5-19 VP/VC-Ring

IMA Services
The inverse multiplexing for ATM (IMA) technology is applied to de-multiplex an ATM integrated cell flow into several low-rate links. At the far end, the low-rate links are multiplexed to restore the integrated cell flow. Hence, several low-rate links are flexibly multiplexed. The IMA technology is applicable when ATM cells are transmitted on E1 or other rate interfaces. The IMA technology is applied only to provide a channel but not process service types and ATM cells. The signals of ATM layer or higher layer are transparently transmitted. Two boards with IMA features are available for the OptiX OSN 7500. They are the IDL4 and the IDQ1 boards. Figure 5-20 illustrates the ATM service networking and port allocation.

5.3.3 Protection
The ATM service of the OptiX OSN equipment is protected on many layers, including:

Protection on the ATM layer Protection on the optical transmission layer, such as MSP 1+1 board level protection of IMA boards
Protection on the ATM Layer

Compliant with ITU-T Recommendation I.630, protection on the ATM layer is classified into many types according to different classification method, as shown in the Table 5-9. Select the configuration as required, for example, 1+1 bidirectional non-revertive protection. Table 5-9 Classification of ATM protection Classification mode Switching direction Connection level Protection domain Revertiblility Protected object 1+1 protection Unidirectional protection VPC protection Trail protection Revertive protection Single connection protection 1:1 protection Bidirectional protection VCC protection Subnetwork connection protection Non-revertive protection Group connection protection

Protection on the Optical Transmission Layer

The ATM service is also protected by the self-healing network on the optical transmission layer, such as MSP. You can set the hold-off time for ATM protection switching. When network impairment occurs, the MSP on lower layers can be switched first, thus achieving the protection of working ATM service (in this case, the protection switching on the ATM layer will not be activated).
1+1Board Level Protection of IMA boards

The IDL4 and IDQ1 support the 1+1 board level protection. When configure 1+1 board level protection, the IDL4 and IDQ1 must be inserted in the paired the slots.

6.1 Topology Auto-Discovery

6.1.1 Control Link Auto-Discovery
After the fibers in an ASON network are connected correctly, each ASON NE discovers control links automatically through OSPF and floods its own control links to the whole network. Each NE then gets the network-wide control links, that is, the network-wide control topology. Then, each NE can calculate the route to any of the other NEs in the network. As shown in Figure 6-1, after the fibers in the whole network are connected, ASON NEs discover the network-wide control topology. Figure 6-1 Control link auto-discovery

:ASON NE :User equipment
6.1.2 TE Link Auto-Discovery

After an ASON NE creates a control channel between neighbor NEs through LMP, TE link verification can be started. Each ASON NE floods its own TE links to the whole network through OSPF-TE. Each NE then gets the network-wide TE links, that is, the network-wide resource topology. ASON software can detect resource topology change in real time, including the deletion and addition of links, as well as the link parameters change, and then reports the change to T2000, which performs real-time refresh. As shown in Figure 6-2, if one TE link is cut, the NM updates the resource topology displayed on the NM in real time.

6.2 End-to-End Service Configuration

The ASON supports both SDH permanent connections and end-to-end ASON services. To configure an ASON service, you only need to specify its source node, sink node, bandwidth requirement, and protection level. Service routing and cross-connection at intermediate nodes are all automatically completed by the network. You can also set explicit node, excluded node, explicit link and excluded link to constrain the service routing. Compared with service configuration of SDH networks, it fully utilizes the routing and signaling functions of the ASON NEs and thus it is convenient to configure services. Take the configuration of a 155 Mbit/s ASON service between A and I in Figure 6-3 for example. The network automatically finds the A-D-E-I route and configures cross-connection at nodes A, D, E and I. Although there is more than one route from A to I, the network will calculate the best route according to the configured algorithm. Here we suppose A-D-E-I is the best route. The service is created as follows:

Choose the bandwidth granularity. Choose the service protection level. Choose the source node. Choose the sink node. Create the service.

6.3 Mesh Networking Protection and Restoration

The ASON provides mesh networking protection to enhance service survivability and network security. As a main networking mode of ASON, mesh features high flexibility and scalability. Different from traditional SDH networking modes, mesh networking does not need 50% bandwidth reserved so it can save bandwidth resources to satisfy the increasingly large bandwidth demands. This networking mode also provides more than one route for each service so it can best utilize the network resources with higher security. As shown in Figure 6-4, when the C-G link failed, to restore the service, the network will calculate another route from D to H and create a new LSP to transmit the service.

6.4.1 Diamond Services

A diamond service is a service with 1+1 protection from the source node to the sink node. It is also called 1+1 service. For a diamond service, there are two different LSPs available between the source node and the sink node. One is the working LSP and the other is the protection LSP. The same service is transmitted to the working LSP and the protection LSP at the same time. If the working LSP is normal, the sink node receives the service from the working LSP; otherwise, from the protection LSP. Figure 6-5 shows a diamond service.

There are three types of diamond services.

Permanent 1+1 diamond service: rerouting is triggered once an LSP fails. Rerouting 1+1 diamond service: rerouting is triggered only when both LSPs fail. Non-rerouting diamond service: rerouting is never triggered.
Table 6-3 lists the attributes of the permanent 1+1 diamond service. Table 6-4 lists the attributes of the rerouting 1+1 diamond service. Table 6-5 lists the attributes of the non-rerouting 1+1 diamond service. Table 6-3 Attributes of the permanent 1+1 diamond services Attribute Requirements for creation Protection and restoration Diamond Service Sufficient non-protection resources are available between the source node and the sink node. If resources are ample, the permanent 1+1 protected diamond services are always provided with two separate LSP. One LSP is in working state and the other is on standby. If there is a lack of resources, only one LSP can be retained in order to guarantee the service survivability. Rerouting Supports rerouting lockout. Supports rerouting priority. Supports three rerouting policies: overlapping policy, separating policy and best route policy. Revertive Revertive services support reverting to original route automatically. Non-revertive services support reverting to the original route manually.

6.4.2 Gold Services

A gold service needs only one LSP. This LSP must use multiplex section working links. When a fiber on the path of a gold service is cut, the ASON triggers MSP switching to protect the service at first. If the multiplex section protection fails, the ASON will trigger rerouting to restore the service. As shown in Figure 6-6, a gold service can be configured from A to I.

6.4.3 Silver Service

Silver services are also called rerouting services. Upon an LSP failure, periodical rerouting is performed until the rerouting succeeds. If there are not enough resources, it may fail to apply for a proper protection route, which then leads to service interruption. As shown in Figure 6-7, A-B-G-H-I is a silver service trail. If the fiber between B and G is cut, the ASON triggers rerouting from A to create a new LSP that does not pass the cut fiber. Hence, services are protected. Figure 6-7 A silver service

6.4.5 Iron Services

An iron service is also called a preemptible service. Iron services apply non-protection links or MS protection links to create LSPs. During MS switching, iron services may be preempted and be interrupted. When the MS recovers, iron services are recovered. Interruption, preemption and recovery of iron services are reported to the T2000.When an LSP fails, services are interrupted and rerouting is not triggered. Table 6-9 lists the attributes of iron service. Table 6-9 Attributes of iron services Attribute Requirements for creation MS Iron Services Sufficient protection resources or non-protection resources are available between the source node and the sink node. To create iron services, the following resources can be used:

6.4.6 Tunnel Services

The ASON supports tunnel services. Tunnel services are mainly used to carry VC-12 or VC-3 services. Tunnel services are also called as ASON server trails. The configuration of a tunnel service is different from that of the above-mentioned service types. Its cross-connection from the tributary board to the line board can only be configured manually. As shown in Figure 6-8, there is an ASON server trail between NE1 and NE2 which can be a gold ASON server trail, silver ASON server trail or copper ASON server trail. During service creation, the ASON automatically chooses the line boards of NE1 and NE2 and the timeslots of the line boards. After creating tunnel services, you must manually create and delete the lower order cross-connection from the tributary board to the line board. During rerouting or optimization of the tunnel services, however, the cross-connections at the source and sink nodes automatically switch to the new ports.

6.5 Service Association

Service association is to associate two ASON services that have different routes. During the rerouting or optimization of either service, the rerouting service will avoid the route of the associated service. As shown in Figure 6-9, D-E-I and A-B-G-H are two associated LSPs. When the fiber between B and G is cut, the rerouting of the A-B-G-H LSP will avoid the D-E-I LSP. Figure 6-9 Service Association

6.6 Service Optimization

After the topology change several times, the ASON may have less satisfactory routes and thus need service optimization. Service optimization means to create a new LSP, switch the optimized service to the new LSP, and delete the original LSP so as to change and optimize the service without disrupting the service. LSP optimization has the following features.

Only manual optimization is supported. The optimization does not change the protection level of the optimized service. During optimization, rerouting, degrade/upgrade, or deleting operations are not allowed. During creation, rerouting, degrading/upgrading, starting or deleting operations, optimization is not allowed. The following service types support optimization: diamond, gold, silver, copper and tunnel services.
6.7 Equilibrium of Network Traffic

The ASON calculates a best route according to CSPF algorithm. If there are many services between two nodes, there may be several services sharing a same route. The traffic equilibrium function is used to avoid this situation. As shown in Figure 6-10, there are many silver services between R2 and R4. To make the network more safe and reliable, the ASON allocates them to different route averagely as possible such as A-D-E-I, A-B-C-F-I and A-B-G-H-I. Figure 6-10 Traffic equilibrium

6.8 The Shared Risk Link Group

Fibers in the same optical cable have the same risks, that is, when the cable is cut, all fibers are cut. So an ASON service should not be rerouted to another link that has the same risk. Set the SRLG attribute correctly for the links of the same risks to make sure the two LSPs of a diamond service are not in the same cable and to enhance the possibility of successful rerouting at the first time. You can change the SRLG attribute.
6.9 ASON Trail Group

The ASON supports amalgamation of ASON and LCAS.
6.9.1 LCAS
LCAS is Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme. With LCAS enabled, the bandwidth of VCTRUNK can be adjusted dynamically without affecting services. As shown in Figure 6-11, VCTRUNK1 is bound with four VC4s, with two transmitted over path 1 and two over path 2. If the VC-4 in path 1 fails, the two VC4s in path 2 will transmit all Ethernet service without affecting the service of VCTRUNK1. You can add VC-4 on either path if necessary. Figure 6-11 LCAS (different path)
Path 1
VCTRUNK1 Router A Router B

Path 2

If these VC4s are transmitted over a path, adding/deleting VC-4 will not affect the service. As shown in Figure 6-12, VCTRUNK1 is bound with four VC4s. If the first VC-4 fails, the Ethernet service remains unaffected. Figure 6-12 LCAS (same path)

6.9.2 ASON Trail Group

An ASON trail group associates all member trails for the same LCAS service within one LSP group. These member trails then can be added, deleted or modified. To provide virtual services with the error tolerance ability, these member trails must be as separate as possible. Each ASON trail group is identified by an ID. The ASON NE allocates an ID to each ASON trail group. The member trails within an ASON trail share the same source and sink. The trails must also be as separated as possible.
6.10 Service Migration

6.10.1 Service Migration between ASON Trails and Permanent Connections
Currently, Huawei's ASON supports:

Migration between diamond services and permanent SNCP connections. Migration between gold services and permanent connections. Migration between silver services and permanent connections. Migration between copper services and permanent connections. Migration between iron services and permanent connections. Migration between tunnel services and server trail.
6.10.2 Service Migration between ASON Trails

Currently, Huawei's ASON supports:

Migration between diamond services and silver services. Migration between diamond services and copper services. Migration between silver services and copper services.
6.11 Reverting Services to Original Routes

After many changes in an ASON network, service routes may differ from the original routes. You can revert all service to the original routes. Table 6-12 lists the reverting service to original routs.

7.1.7 1+1 Backup for the Power Input Unit

Through the two T1PIU boards, the OptiX OSN 7500 accesses two 48 V DC inputs that work for mutual backup. If either of them goes faulty, the other will operate to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
7.1.8 1:N Protection for Board +3.3 V Power Supply

The power backup unit of the T1AUX board of the OptiX OSN 7500 is used to provide 1:N reliable power backup for the +3.3 V power supply of other boards, including the SCC and service boards. When the board power supply fails, the backup power supply works immediately to ensure that the board operates normally.
7.1.9 Intelligent Fans

The OptiX OSN 7500 adopts three intelligent fan units for heat dissipation. The power supplies for the fans serve as backup for each other. The intelligent fans provide the functions of intelligent speed regulation and failure detection. Once one of the fan modules goes faulty, the other two will operate at their full speed. The running status of the fans can be indicated by the corresponding indicators on the front panel of the fan unit.
7.1.10 Abnormality-Specific Board Protection

Power Failure during Software Loading
Application programme and data have the check function. When software loading is interrupted, the basic input/output system (BIOS) will not start the unfinished programme and data until they are successfully loaded.
Over-Voltage and Under-Voltage Protection

The power board is designed with a lightning protection component to effectively reduce the damages that may be possibly caused by transient high-voltage such as lightning. When the voltage is over low, this board will automatically reset the centre processing unit (CPU) and the software will reinitialize the chips. The software will provide a mirror protection for important memories that may affect the services. When the voltage is not stable, which causes the memory value to change, the values can be recovered to normal. In addition, when the voltage is too low, the power system will automatically cut off the active power to protect the system.
Board Temperature Check

The temperature detection circuit is provided on the boards that generate much heat, such as the GXCSA or EXCSA board. When the ambient temperature detected is too high, an alarm is generated to remind the maintenance personnel to clean the fans.

7 Protection
In terms of MSP, the OptiX OSN 7500 supports bandwidth adjustment by VC-4, that is, for an STM-64 two-fibre bidirectional MSP ring, its MS bandwidth can change from one VC-4 to thirty-two VC-4s.
Upgrading MS Bandwidth
The OptiX OSN 7500 supports MS bandwidth upgrading which is non-service affecting. For example, we can upgrade an STM-16 MSP ring to an STM-64 MSP ring.
Two Sets of MS K Bytes

For the STM-64 optical interface, the OptiX OSN 7500 can process two sets of MS K bytes simultaneously. Up to two MS rings can be constructed through an STM-64 optical interface.
Suppression Function in MS
The OptiX OSN 7500 can suppress misconnected VC-4 services. In the MSP ring, each protection timeslot is shared by different segments or occupied by extra traffic. When there is no extra traffic within the ring, if a certain node is segregated due to failure of multiple nodes, the traffic of different segments that occupies the same timeslot may contend for the timeslot and result in misconnection of traffic. When there is extra traffic transmitted over the protection path, even in the case of failure of a single node, the traffic of the working path may contend for the timeslot on the protection path that carry extra traffic and result in misconnection. To prevent misconnection, a detailed connection table is created for each node of the OptiX OSN 7500. Each node knows the source point and destination point of each AU-4. Then through APS commands, the node can detect probable misconnection in advance, and discard the probably misconnected traffic by inserting the AU-AIS alarm.
7.2.3 SNCP
The OptiX OSN 7500 supports the subnetwork connection protection (SNCP) and the subnetwork connection multipath protection (SNCMP), for subnetworks that meet the ITU-T G.841 requirements.
SNCP

SNCMP
The subnetwork connection multipath protection (SNCMP) is an N+1 (which means multiple protection paths protect a working path, N3) protection scheme. The SNCMP is different from the SNCP in that the SNCP is a 1+1 protection scheme. The SNCMP provides multiple protection paths for a service. In this case, the service protection is implemented by a mechanism of multiple fed at the source and selective receiving at the sink. The SNCMP is supplementary to the SNCP. While the SNCP protects services only in a line-to-line manner, the SNCMP protects services whose source and sink can both be in the line direction or in the tributary direction. Figure 7-2 illustrates the principle of multipath protection. The source broadcasts services to multiple paths, and the sink determines which service to receive according to the service priority and then the service quality. When services are correctly received on both the working and protection paths, the sink selects the service from the working path. Figure 7-2 Principle of multipath protection

7.2.4 DNI
The OptiX OSN 7500 supports the dual node interconnection (DNI) protection, which is line with the ITU-T G.842. DNI is a protection scheme, which requires two interconnected nodes. This protection scheme enhances the reliability of inter-ring services. This scheme can be applied to protect the services between two rings, which is formed by equipment from different vendors and takes different protection schemes. This scheme can also provide protection when fiber is cut or any node goes faulty. DNI is applied to provide protection for services in the listed rings.

As shown in Figure 7-7, in the fibre-shared virtual path protection, one STM-16, STM-4, or even STM-1 optical path is logically divided into lower-order or higher-order paths, which are then combined with other links to form the path-level rings. The path-level rings can be set with protection schemes such as MSP, SNCP, and non-protection.
7.2.6 MS-Shared Optical Path Protection

In the MS-shared optical path protection, an optical interface can be configured with multiple MSP groups, so that MSP rings can share the same fibre and optical interface. This function is conditioned on the optical boards capability of processing multiple sets of independent K bytes. T2SL64, T2SL64A, N1SL64, N1SL16(A), N2SL16(A), N1SF16 and N1SF64 of the OptiX OSN 7500 support a maximum of two sets of K bytes.

7.2.7 Protection of Resilient Packet Ring

Figure 7-11 shows a bidirectional resilient Ethernet ring. Both the outer ring and the inner ring transmit data packets and control packets. The control packet of the inner ring carries the control information of the data packets in outer ring and the process for the outer ring is reversed. The Ethernet ring has a merit that the packets sent to the ring are assumed by each node would finally reach their respective destination, regardless of which channel used. Because each node has only three kinds of operation on the packet: packet insertion (insert a new packet to the ring), packet forwarding (forward the packet), and packet dropping (drop the packet to the local site). This merit greatly reduced the communication workload between nodes, especially when compared with the mesh network that has to decide to forward to which port according to each packet.

Upon a fibre cut, RPR starts wrapping and packet steering function. Wrapping is to connect the outer ring with the inner ring at the two nodes adjacent to the fibre cut point, as shown in Figure 7-12. Packet steering is to transmit the packet in the opposite direction at the transmitting node, as shown in Figure 7-13. In either way, the packet can reach the destination from the opposite direction and the failure time is less than 50ms. The OptiX OSN 7500 performs wrapping for general protection switching at the beginning, and then performs steering when the new topology and service path are established. Then no packet will be lost during protection switching and the switching time is shortened. Figure 7-12 Wrapping of RPR

7.2.8 VP-Ring/VC-Ring Protection

Figure 7-14 shows the VP-Ring/VC-Ring protection switching on the ATM layer. VP-Ring/VC-Ring protection reserves protection resources to achieve protection. It can be used on any physical topology. The reserved protection resources include routes and bandwidth. Figure 7-14 VP-Ring/VC-Ring protection
Working path ATM service NE1 NE3 ATM service
Protection path
NE4
The OptiX OSN 7500 provides protection for VP/VC. ATM service is protected by adopting the mode of dual-fed and selective receiving. Two connections (working path and protection path) are created respectively between the source node NE1 and the sink node NE3. Normally, the receive end selects the service transmitted over the working path. When the primary ring fails, the receive end starts protection after detecting relevant failure information, and switches the received service to the protection path, thus achieving the protection of ATM services.

The OptiX OSN 7500 can trace the following clock sources:

External clock source Line clock source Tributary clock source Internal clock source
The OptiX OSN 7500 supports setting priorities of clock sources. By default, the internal clock is of the least priority.
8.1.1 External Clock Source

The OptiX OSN 7500 supports two external clock source inputs.

Support two 75 ohm external clock inputs (2048 kbit/s or 2048 kHz). Support two 120 ohm external clock inputs (2048 kbit/s or 2048 kHz).
8.1.2 Line Clock Source

The OptiX OSN 7500 can trace line clock source.
8.1.3 Tributary Clock Source

When an NE tracings the tributary clock source, the relations between the NM ports that can be traced, and the board physical ports are listed below.
When tracing tributary clock sources, the network element can only trace the first port (corresponding to the first physical port) or the second port (corresponding to the ninth physical port) on the T2000 of PQ1 or PQM. When tracing tributary clock sources, the network element can only trace the first port (corresponding to the first physical port) or the second port (corresponding to the fourth physical port) on the T2000 of PD3. When tracing tributary clock sources, the network element can only trace the first port (corresponding to the first physical port) on the T2000 of PL3.
8.1.4 Internal Clock Source

When external clock source, line clock source and tributary clock source fail, internal clock source provides clock for the OptiX OSN 7500.

Under locked mode, the OptiX OSN 7500 traces one clock source of all lines, tributaries and external clock sources.
8.2.2 Hold-Over Mode

If all clock sources are lost, the OptiX OSN 7500 utilises the frequency information stored before the loss as its clock source to operate. The frequency information complies with the related phase standard defined in G.813.
8.2.3 Free-Run Mode

The OptiX OSN 7500 works under the inherent frequency of its internal crystal oscillator whose frequency stability is not worse than 4.6 ppm.
8.3 Clock Outputs

The OptiX OSN 7500 supports the following clock outputs:

Line clock outputs Tributary clock outputs External clock outputs

For tributary clock outputs, the OptiX OSN 7500 supports tributary retiming function that improves the quality of output tributary clock.
The OptiX OSN 7500 supports the following external clock outputs:

Two 75 ohm external clock outputs (2048 kbit/s or 2048 kHz) Two 120 ohm external clock outputs (2048 kbit/s or 2048 kHz)
For external clock outputs, the OptiX OSN 7500 supports two 75 ohm external clock outputs or two 120 ohm external clock outputs, but can not support 75 ohm and 120 ohm at the same time.

The clock of the OptiX OSN 7500 can be configured as:

Synchronisation status message (SSM) disabled Standard SSM enabled Extended SSM enabled
8.4.1 Clock Configuration with SSM Disabled

The OptiX OSN 7500 selects and switches the clock source according to the priority table. The clock source of highest priority is the trace source. The priority table can be configured manually. Figure 8-1 shows the clock configuration and the priority table when SSM is disabled.

8.4.2 Clock Configuration with Standard SSM Enabled

Standard SSM, a mechanism for synchronisation management in an SDH network, allows switching the quality information of clock source among nodes, thus the OptiX OSN 7500 can automatically choose the clock source of the highest quality and priority to prevent the occurrence of clock mutual tracing, as shown in Figure 8-3. Standard SSM is loaded in the lower four-digit bits (bit5bit 8) of the S1 byte in SDH section overheads.

8.4.3 Clock Configuration with Extended SSM Enabled

Standard SSM cannot avoid the clock mutual tracing completely, as shown in Figure 8-4. Huawei puts forward the concept of clock source ID, which is defined using the higher four-digit bits (bit1bit4) of the S1 byte and transmitted with SSM. The SSM with clock ID is called extended SSM. When a node receives the S1 byte, it checks the clock source ID to judge whether it is originated from this station. If so, the clock source is unavailable, thus the clock mutual tracing can be avoided, as shown in Figure 8-5. Figure 8-4 Clock mutual tracing occurs when enabling SSM

A clock ID can be allocated by NM or set manually. In an SDH ring network, the clock ID is usually set manually to effectively prevent the occurrence of mutual tracing. The clock ID is necessary only in key points. Follow the principles below to set the clock ID.

Allocate a clock ID for every external BITS. Allocate a clock ID for the internal clock source of every node with external BITS. Allocate a clock ID for the internal clock source of the junction node of a ring and chain or two rings. For a junction node, if the clock tracing level includes ring clock source, allocate a clock ID for this clock source.
8.5 Tributary Retiming

Retiming combines the timing reference signal from digital synchronization networks and the traffic data for transmission to users.
8.5.1 Principle of Retiming

Retiming clears the issue that 2048 kbit/s tributary signals cannot carry timing reference in SDH systems. Figure 8-6 shows the principle of retiming. Figure 8-6 Functional diagram of retiming

Extract clock f1 from the received tributary signals through phase-lock loop (PLL). Extract the data of the tributary signals precisely through desynchronization. Store the extracted data into retiming buffer. Then, read out the data of the tributary signals through the SDH equipment clock (SEC) f0 that is synchronous with the digital synchronization networks. Thus, the output tributary signals carry the timing reference of high quality, which can be the timing reference for equipment requiring synchronization.
8.5.2 Application of Retimin

PDH signals passing through an SDH network without retiming.
Figure 8-7 shows the situation that PDH signals pass through an SDH network without retiming. As shown in the following figure, the reference frequency f1 at the transmitting end of equipment A locks f0 to avoid periodic sliding. During .the process of mapping PDH signals into SDH networks, there are great phase variations in PDH tributary output signals because of pointer justification. Thus, the frequency f1 of the output tributary PDH signals is not synchronous with the f0. The frequency of the output signals cannot be used as the timing reference for equipment B (such as, digital remote switch). Figure 8-7 An SDH network without retiming

The local timing reference f0 is provided through retiming at the output edge of the network. The wander and jitter caused by pointer justification are absorbed. Thus, the frequency f1 of the output tributary signals is synchronous with the f0. The equipment B can extract the output tributary signals for synchronization.

The OptiX OSN 7500 provides the following features to meet the customers needs for operation administration and maintenance (OAM).

The N2GSCC board generates audible and visual alarms to remind the network administrators to take proper measures in the case of any emergency. Provides 16 alarm input interfaces, four alarm output interfaces, four cabinet alarm indicator output interfaces, and alarm concatenation interfaces to facilitate operation and management of the equipment. All boards are provided with running and alarm indicators to help the network administrators to locate and handle faults at the earliest. The line board provides the function of the lower order path monitoring. The alarms can be monitored if impairment affects the lower order services on the line board. These alarms include TU_AIS and TU_LOP. The subrack supports automatic laser shutdown (ALS) function of the single-mode optical interface of the SDH interface unit and Ethernet interface unit. It supports automatic online detection of optical power of SDH and Ethernet optical interfaces. The swappable optical module is adopted to provide optical interface boards. Users can choose single-mode or multimode optical modules as required, thus facilitating maintenance. Orderwire phone function is provided to ensure dedicated communication channels for administrators at various stations. By means of the NM system, the running and alarm status of the equipment at all stations on the network are dynamically monitored. In-service upgrade of board software and NE software is supported. Board software and field programmable gate array (FPGA) supports remote loading, and provides the functions of error prevention loading and resume download. With remote maintenance function, the maintenance personnel can remotely maintain the OptiX OSN 7500 through PSTN when the equipment goes faulty. The PQ1/PQM provides pseudo-random binary sequence function which supports remote bit error test.

9.2 Administration
The OptiX OSN 7500 is managed by the transport network management system (NM) of iManager series. Through the Qx interface, the NM system manages, maintains and tests the entire optical transmission system in terms of fault, performance, configuration and security. The OptiX OSN 7500 supports the uniform NMS that is based on the simple network management protocol (SNMP). The uniform NMS can be used to manage equipment from different vendors. The NM system improves the quality of network services, lowers the maintenance cost and ensures rational use of network resources. Non-gateway NEs connects to the gateway NEs through ECC to transmit NM information.

Three schemes are applied for the communication between the OptiX OSN 7500 and the NM.

ECC over DCC IP over DCC OSI over DCC
9.2.1 ECC over DCC

The DCC consists of two parts:

D1D3 bytes in regenerator section, forming a 192 kbit/s channel D4D12 bytes in multiplex section, forming a 576 kbit/s channel
Currently, only the D1D3 bytes are used by the transmission equipment. The D4D12 bytes are reserved for higher management requirements. The OptiX OSN 7500 can provide the capability to process 160 embedded control channels (ECC). Figure 9-1 illustrates the communication interfaces between the OptiX OSN series equipment, and between the NM and the OptiX OSN equipment. Figure 9-1 Network management interface
