The TN-16X provides managed network elements at STM-16 line rate, with a wide range of tributary and aggregate options. It can support Rings, Hubs, and Point-to-Point congurations, with or without Regenerators. TN-16X supports the following main features: Various optical transmitters (LTE/Ring/Regen) as follows: 1310 nm and 1557 nm (standard wavelengths) 1533nm (for 2 and 4 coarse WDM applications) 1541nm and 1549nm (for 4 coarse WDM applications) HPTx & Optical Ampliers (LTE/Ring/Regen) Earthquake hardened rack (LTE/Ring/Regen) STM-1e tributary (LTE/Ring only) Dual STM-1e/140 Mbit/s tributary (LTE/Ring only) STM-4 optical tributary (LTE/Ring only) STM-16e intershelf (LTE only) Order Wire (LTE/Regen only) STM-1 optical (1+1 protected) tributary (LTE/Ring only) 3 x 34 Mbit/s mapper tributary (LTE/Ring only) Ring matched nodes. 2 and 4 wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) with optional HPTx and OPA on 2 (Ring/Regen only). Typical applications demonstrating the features listed above are described in Chapter 2. The TN-16X product range comprises two types of subrack: TN-16X LTE/ADM/Ring subrack which can be equipped with core, aggregate and tributary units to be used as a Line Terminal (LTE), Add-Drop Multiplexer (ADM) or Ring.
1-2 Overview and feature/equipment selection
TN-16X Regenerator subrack which can be equipped with core and aggregate units to be used as a Regenerator. The Regenerator subrack can also be used as an overow subrack for an LTE/ADM/Ring to provide additional slots.
The equipment is packaged as fully equipped racks. A 2.2 m high TN-16X rack can contain: Three Regenerator subracks or Two LTE/ADM/Ring subracks or One LTE/ADM/Ring subrack and one Regenerator subrack
Overhead cabling is catered for as standard. Under-oor cabling can be accommodated by using the earthquake-hardened rack and rack bre channel. An LTE/ADM/Ring subrack has four quadrants, each having four tributary slots. Tributary units can be of single- or double-width. Only tributaries of the same STM level can occupy a quadrant. The TN-16X can accommodate 2 Mbit/s tributaries by connecting the required number of TN-1Xs, TN-1Ps, or TN-1Cs via the TN-16X STM-1 electrical tributary units. Table 1-1 gives an overview of the TN-16X tributaries available. See the section starting on page 3-13 for full details of the tributary slot equipping rules.

Standardised network and maintenance management is provided via a workstation or craft terminal. Network Management communications is controlled via the Operations Controller (OPC) which is a Hewlett-Packard UNIX workstation re-packaged as a plug-in unit. In a medium sized network, typically two OPCs will be provided (one master, and one backup). The OPC can administer a maximum of 34 NE subracks (consisting of ADMs, Terminals or Regenerators). The Network Manager (TN-MS NRM) is implemented on an HP 9000 715/ 100 platform. One Network Manager can control 20 Element Controllers (OPC or OPC pair), or 1280 Network Elements (whichever limit is reached rst).

This section identies typical TN-16X applications as an aid to the features selection process described in Chapter 1. It indicates the unit combinations required (as a minimum) to implement each multiplexer conguration. Examples of typical subrack equipping are also provided. This section deals with the following: Ring multiplexers Matched Node ring multiplexers Regenerators Line Terminal multiplexers Add/Drop multiplexers Hub multiplexers High Performance Transmission multiplexers Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
Ring multiplexers Self-healing, Multiplex Section Shared Protection Rings (MS SPRings), see Figure 2-1, are available at this release. The multiplexer uses two bres to provide two-way protection capacity shared by all nodes on the ring. Each node supports tributary trafc up to the equivalent of the STM-16 bandwidth. STM-8 of the capacity, fully protected, is available for working trafc between any two adjacent nodes. In the event of a bre cut or failure anywhere along the ring, all restorable trafc will be automatically re-routed within a pre-dened time period.
Shared protection
Up to a maximum of sixteen nodes are possible in a shared Protection Ring (this maximum is set by the Automatic Protection Switching protocol using overhead K1 and K2 bytes which has four bits allocated for ring node identier). Regenerators are not counted as nodes and hence are additional to the maximum number of sixteen. The maximum number of Regenerators between Ring Nodes is the same as Terminal multiplexer applications, i.e. thirty.

Matched Node Ring multiplexers Matched Node interconnection of rings provides protection of trafc paths which traverse more than one ring. This is achieved by duplicating the ring interconnect points (see Figure 2-2). Matched Nodes are supported only at the VC-4 level. The physical connection is made via STM-4o or STM-1o tributaries which are the interconnect medium between these two rings. Matched Node functionality is achieved by software.

Regenerator The STM-16 Regenerator is suitable for long-haul applications where the optical signal must be repeated (regenerated) between two widely-spaced terminal or ADM sites. Up to thirty consecutive Regenerators can be installed between terminal or ADM sites. Each Regenerator can accommodate four complete sets of optical interfaces (two sets for each transmission direction). A single subrack can support point-to-point applications employing either 1:1 or 1:N revertive protection.
2-4 Applications and features
In route diversity applications only one set of optical interfaces are required in each Regenerator subrack. Note: Different numbers of Regenerators may be deployed in the working and protection channels according to path length. A Regenerator subrack can regenerate up to two optical channels, thus for a 1:3 protected terminal multiplexer system, two Regenerator subracks would be required at each Regenerator site. The Regenerator subrack may be used to house High Performance Transmitter (HPTx) or Optical Post Amplier (OPA) in an overow situation where, due to the conguration required, no space is available in the LTE/ADM/Ring subrack. The total number of HPTx or OPA units is constrained by the number of slots available in the backplane, as well as thermal limitations. Regenerator equipping examples

Terminal multiplexers The following types of terminal multiplexer applications are described in this section: Protected terminal multiplexers: Protected terminal via 2-node shared protection ring. 1:N protected terminal multiplexer. Unprotected terminal multiplexer. This is a 1:N protected terminal where n=0 (see Figure 2-3).
Figure 2-3 Unprotected terminal
TN-16X 140 Mbit/s or STM-1e Tributaries Optical Fibres (see Note 2)
TN-16X 140 Mbit/s or STM-1e Tributaries
Note 1: LTEs have no Ploop units Note 2: Unprotected working normally requires two bres. WDM reduces the requirement to one bre.
When congured as a point-to-point terminal (LTE), the TN-16X can support various combinations of 34 Mbit/s, 140 Mbit/s, STM-1e, STM-1o and STM-4 tributary/inter-shelf interfaces up to the full STM-16 bandwidth. 2 Mbit/s tributaries are supported through the use of STM-1e connections to TN-1Xs. Internally, the STM-16 Terminal subrack bandwidth is divided into four STM-4 Quadrants. 34 Mbit/s tributaries are only allowed in Quadrant 4. Quadrants may only be shared with tributaries or tributary/inter-shelf interfaces of like bandwidth.
Protected terminal multiplexers
Protection at the STM-16 interface is available using the following schemes: Protected terminal via 2-node shared protection ring, see (i) below and Figure 2-4. Multi-shelf 1:N: The optical interfaces are protected in a revertive scheme which consists of one protection channel for up to fourteen working channels, see (ii) below and Figure 2-4. Refer to Nortel for the availability of n>2. All congurations automatically switch trafc to a standby path in the event of signal failure/degradation or optical interface failure in the working path. Revertive protection subsequently switches trafc back to the original working path if a fault-free state exists for longer than a pre-dened interval.
2-6 Applications and features (i) Protected terminal via 2-node shared protection ring
A point-to-point STM-16 link can be protected via a two-bre shared protection ring, see Figure 2-4. This provides quasi 1 +1 protection.

Note: This conguration can be used with or without Regenerators

(ii) 1:N protected terminal multiplexer
Multi-shelf 1:N (where n = 1 to 2) revertive congurations allow several TN-16X subracks to share a single protected channel, see Figure 2-4. The protection channel can be used to carry additional, low priority trafc while protection switching is in the normal inactive state. With protection enabled, low priority trafc is discarded and high priority trafc from the failed channel is routed to the protection channel. Note 1: Each node requires 1:N electrical Tx and Rx protection units for the STM-16 protection loop. Note 2: The local protection path is an electrical STM-16 interface provided by a PLoop transmitter. For working channels this local loop is mounted in G2 with the working channel optics in G1. For the protection channel the local loop mounts in G1with the corresponding receiver in G2. The protection channel optical receiver mounts in G1, with the transmitter in G2.

Unprotected terminal multiplexer
An unprotected terminal multiplexer, see Figure 2-6, provides a point-to-point link with a single STM-16 optical link. As a basic requirement, a single unprotected terminal multiplexer (with only one line interface) will be equipped with the following unit combinations: one optical aggregate interface set. Up to sixteen 140 Mbit/s or STM-1 electrical tributaries. 2 Mbit/s tributaries are supported through the use of STM-1e connections to TN-1Xs, see Figure 2-6. This conguration can be used with or without Regenerators (see page 2-3).

Hub conguration Hubs with STM-1 and STM-4 optical aggregates are available at this release. Simple optical hubs can be deployed to consolidate several spur routes onto high capacity STM-16 optical bre. These arrangements eliminate the cost and complexity of multi-terminal congurations and redundant cross-connections. The STM-16 terminal subrack supports up to sixteen STM-1 spur route interfaces. Mixed arrangements of optical/electrical interfaces can also be provided in hub applications. This conguration supports up to sixteen spur route interfaces. The TN-1X performs the tail-end switch (not carried out by the TN-16X). Figure 2-7 shows an example of a TN-16X hub application.

High Performance Transmitters The standard optical transmitter can be replaced by a High Performance Transmitter (HPTx) to achieve operation over extended distances with standard bre, or an Optical Post Amplier (OPA) to achieve operation over extended distances with dispersion shifted bre. Up to two HPTxs can be equipped in a multiplexer subrack, in the slots normally reserved for Order Wire and OPC. If the subrack already contains an
OPC, then the OPC can be housed in a co-located Regenerator subrack and linked to the main subrack by a CNET connection. In the Regenerator subrack the HPTx or OPA can be located in any of the transmitter or receiver slots (subject to thermal limitations). In addition, the HPTx requires an electrical input provided by an electrical transmitter, whose type depends upon the application, e.g. Ring, Linear or Regenerator. This electrical transmitter physically replaces the standard optical transmitter. The OPA derives its input directly from the standard optical transmitter. In 1:N protected congurations, both the working and protection channels can be equipped with the longer reach HPTx and OPA.
Wavelength division multiplexing in TN-16X SPRings

2 WDM
A 2 bidirectional link (refer to Figure 2-8) uses a pair of complimentary 2 WDM coupler circuit packs to multiplex and demultiplex two counter-propogating optical signals (1533nm and 1557nm) along a single bre. In this conguration, the Rx-1557nm WDM coupler allows the 1557nm incoming signal to pass from the link to the receiver while reecting the 1533nm signal from the transmitter on to the link. At the Rx-1533nm coupler, this 1533nm transmitted signal is passed from the link to the receiver while reecting the 1557nm transmitted signal on to the link.

In this conguration, two overlaid rings (Ring A and Ring B) are multiplexed on to one bre. the Rx-Red WDM coupler allows the incoming 1549nm and 1557nm signals to pass from the link to the appropriate receive interfaces while reecting the 1533nm and 1541nm signals from the transmitters on to the link. At the Rx-Blue coupler, the 1533nm and 1541nm transmitted signals are passed from the link to the appropriate receive interfaces while reecting the 1549nm and 1557nm transmitted signals on to the link.

STM-1, 140 Mbit/s and 34MBit/s electrical, STM-1 optical, and STM-4 optical tributaries are available for TN-16X LTE/ADM/Ring applications. The range of tributary units available is listed in Table 5-1. The individual units are described briey starting on page 5-4. Each quadrant can only be equipped with tributaries of like bandwidth; once a tributary unit is positioned in a quadrant, that denes the quadrant use. For example, STM-4 tributaries cannot be mixed with STM-1 tributaries in the same quadrant. Each electrical tributary unit must have a corresponding I/O unit which provides the electrical input/output. Optical tributaries do not require I/O units.

External synchronisation interface (1.544 Mbit/s) NT7E27BA The External Synchronisation Interface (ESI) allows the shelf timing to be improved either through the use of the on-board Stratum-3 clock, or by synchronising the shelf timing to an SSU via a 1.5 Mbit/s input. The ESI can also function as a timing reference for external equipment by generating a SSU compatible 1.5 Mbit/s timing. The ESI Unit output can be locked to an incoming STM-n signal, or to the equipment clock. The ESI Unit is half-height and one or two may be mounted in a single ESI Carrier. Two ESI units operate as a main and standby pair. Use in TN-16X LTE/ADM/Ring applications only Rings and Linear systems require a minimum of one ESI unit per ADM or LTE, or optionally two ESI units where protected synchronisation is required. 1.5 Mbit/s and 2 MHz ESI units can coexist in a network. For European working an ESI Clock Converter Unit is required. A choice of 120 Ohm or 75 Ohm terminations is available (page 6-3). 75 Ohm working also requires Termination NTFW5072. Requires an External synchronisation interface carrier NT7E19AA (page 6-3). One is required per two ESI Units, tted in slot 40 of the subrack, For ESI cable codes, refer to page 6-6.
