Transmission management
Equipment operation is controlled using the Service Terminal via the ser vice interface on the front edge of the equipment. Through this interface, equipment state and alarm data are read, controls and settings are given, loopbacks are ordered, etc. Communications in the service interface are serial formatted. (See the Operating Handbook for the Service Terminal and the separate description Operation with Service Terminal dealing with this equipment.) The equipment can also be controlled by the TMS Transmission Manage ment System (see the Operating Handbook for the TMS Transmission Management System).

Power supply and rack alarm interfaces A Alarm Interface

(Back connector PB1)

Rack alarm interface via which alarms caused by the equipment are transmitted to the rack. Based on fault conditions and settings, the equipment gen erates data on whether the alarm is prompt (A), deferred (B), or if it is a matter of alarm cancella tion (D). P Power Interface Power supply interface through which the equip ment obtains the central battery voltages (-20...-72 V DC) and the external auxiliary volt age (+5 V).

2.3

Operation in transmit direction


In the transmit direction the incoming interface signals are first converted into binary format and then combined into one bit stream in the MUX block. The line signal frame is generated and the signal is line coded in the LENC block. The E/O block converts the outgoing signal into optical sig nal.

2.4

Operation in receive direction


In receive direction the optical signal coming from the line is first con verted into electrical signal (block O/E). After that the signal is line decoded and its frame is disassembled in the LDEC block. In the DEMUX block the incoming bit stream is divided into parts which are taken to the interface blocks. Each interface block converts the signal to conform to its own interface specification.

2.5

Frame structure
For optical transmission a frame is generated in which the main channel, data and service channels, and the far-end alarm are transmitted. The bit rate of the frame is approximately 3.277 Mbit/s (transmission bit rate 2 M) or 11.827 Mbit/s (transmission bit rate 8 M).

2.6

Data hybrid
There is a summing connection (a data hybrid) in the CONTROL block that connects the signals coming from the service interface MI, data inter face DI, data channel DCH, or processor CPU to all other interfaces con cerned. The signal coming from the data channel is cut off if the incoming optical signal is missing or the frame alignment is lost. In that case the data chan nel's possible undefined state will not interfere with the use of the service interface. However, in some fault conditions a disturbing signal may come from the data channel, so that a connection to the equipment cannot be established via the service interface. Then the data hybrid can be opened by connect ing the pin PIN to ground. After grounding the PIN, the data hybrid is open for the time selected by the setting Control timeout. When the data hybrid is active, the MI output is continuously in an active state and the interface cannot be connected to a bus.

An example of service telephone network

The front connector P1 of the terminal repeater contains two parallel ser vice telephone interfaces. The summing connection (service telephone hybrid) in the service telephone interface block branches the service tele phone to both service telephone interfaces and the data channel, and the data channel to both service telephone interfaces. Thus a service tele phone network is created. Those connected to it can communicate with each others simultaneously.

Measurements, alarms and calibrations Via the service interface in the terminal repeater the bias current and the output power of the laser and also the temperature of a normal laser can be measured without separate measuring devices. By monitoring the increase of the bias current, it can be detected, e.g., when the laser has aged and needs to be replaced. An increase in the bias current or the temperature can also produce alarms. The alarm thresholds are settable via the service interface. The terminal repeater memory contains data on the initial values of the laser. If the laser is replaced in connection with repair, the corresponding calibrations must be performed again. The calibrations are performed by means of the Service Terminal, and to prevent an unintentional calibra tion, the strapping HWP in the terminal repeater is disconnected.

Automatic cut-off and restart The laser transmitter is cut off to protect the laser and for safety reasons if the bias current or the optical output power exceeds a defined limit. For safety reasons the laser can also be cut off when the incoming optical signal is missing. The operating mode of the automatic cut-off and restart of the laser in this situation can be selected with the Service Ter minal:
h h

Laser is not cut off. Automatic restart. If the optical connection is cut off, both ends of the connection control the laser ON and OFF periodically in accordance with Figure 11. The system returns automatically to normal state when the optical connection functions again. Laser is cut off permanently. The system is started manually at either end of the connection.

Optical receiver
Measurement Via the service interface in the terminal repeater the received optical power can be measured without separate measuring devices. The measurement is based on the average current of the photodiode. The overall accuracy in the range -40...0 dBm is + 1...2 dB. This facility is suitable to detect large (> 2 dB) changes in the received optical power.

Successive systems

A chained optical line equipment system is created by connecting the ter minal repeaters at intermediate stations in accordance with Figure 12. In a chaining, the main channel (MAINI), data channels (DI and DI2), farend alarm (FEA) and one of the service telephone interfaces (TI1) can be connected from one set of equipment to another by cables when required. The other service telephone interface (TI2) of both terminal repeaters still remains free for other use.

Line code in one-fibre and two-fibre systems


On the optical transmission path a line code of type 5B6B is used. In a two-fibre system, which provides a separate fibre for both transmission directions, the same code is used in both transmission directions. DF 2-8

For bidirectional transmission in a one-fibre system a separate line code has to be used in the transmit and receive direction. In case the fibre is cut, part of the transmitted power is reflected back to the receivers which have to be able to distinguish their own signal from the one sent by the other terminal - otherwise an alarm on the traffic outage can not be obtained.

If the equipment operating voltages are cut off (power supply fault), the external auxiliary voltage that is connected to the equipment activates the red service LED, red rack alarm lamp, and programmable alarm output PA1. Programmable alarm outputs The equipment's programmable alarm outputs PA1 and PA2 can be con nected in the desired way, for example, to the user's own fault monitoring system. In addition, the output PA1 can be used, for example, for control ling the changeover equipment in protected systems.

2.12

Loopbacks
Loopbacks of the equipment are carried out in the interface blocks. Loopbacks are used for checking the equipment, signal cabling or line section e.g. in connection with troubleshooting, and they are ordered into effect via the service interface using the Service Terminal or Transmission Management Computer. So that loopbacks would not accidentally stay in effect, they are automati cally cancelled after a defined time by the setting Control timeout. In loopbacks the incoming signal is connected back as the outgoing signal and the looped signal is replaced by the AIS signal. The loopbacks do not affect the operation of the data channels and the service telephone.

Error indication

The line baud rate of the optical signal at the 2 M transmission bit rate is 3.277 Mbaud and at the transmission bit rate 8 M 11.827 Mbaud. After block code (5B6B) decoding the rate is 2.731 Mbit/s or 9.856 Mbit/s respectively. This bit stream consists of the bits of the main channel and data channels. A bit error on the optical side changes the 6 bit code word into an erron eous one. The bits of the decoded 5 bit code word are random, thus there are 2.5 bits wrong on an average. The erroneous code words are detected. After the detection of two erroneous code words, a message is given to the control block, i.e. two erroneous code words produce one detection meaning 2 x 2.5 = 5 bit errors in the 2.731 Mbit/s or 9.856 Mbit/s bit stream. The result of the error detection is used for:
h h h h

error rate alarms BER measurement error counter compiling of statistics.

2 and 8 Mbit/s OPTICAL LINE EQUIPMENT Functional Description 18.1.1994

DF 2-8 II/1 Page 29

BER measurement The measurement time is one second and the result is expressed as an error rate. Example: The equipment gives one detection per second on an average. The bit error rate is: Transmission bit rate 2 M 5 bit/s 2.731 Mbit/s 5 bit/s 9.856 Mbit/s = 1.8 x 10 -6

Transmission bit rate 8 M

= 5.2 x 10 -7

If errors occur at long intervals, the effect of the short measurement time will be seen as a variation of the bit error rate between zero and 1.8 x 10-6 or 5.2 x 10-7 . Error counter The error counter contains the cumulative sum of transmission errors. Each detection increases the sum by 5. The share of the main channel of the total sum of errors will be, on the average: Main channel 2 M 2048 kbit/s 2731 kbit/s 8448 kbit/s 9856 kbit/s = 75 %

Main channel 8 M

= 85 %

Thus, if the number of 8 Mbit/s main channel errors is monitored in cumu lative measurement with a separate measuring set, the average result obtained is 85 % of the result given by the equipment's own error counter.

2 and 8 Mbit/s OPTICAL LINE EQUIPMENT Functional Description 18.1.1994

DF 2-8 II/1 Page 30

Compiling of statistics The compiling of statistics complies with the CCITT Recommendation G.821. The equipment is able to tell how many periods belonging to dif ferent classifications (severely errored seconds, errored seconds, and degraded minutes) have appeared in the signal, and what is the allocation of these periods with regard to its operational time. The data are readable via the service interface using the Service Terminal. The CCITT recommendation presents the maximum values for the dif ferent classifications at given reference connections. These reference connections are divided into three grades:
h h h

high grade, chiefly meaning international long connections local grade, meaning connections within a country (local) medium grade, which is in-between the two above grades.

The total amount of erroneous periods allowed is divided among these grades as follows:
h h h

high grade medium grade local grade

40 % 15 % (both ends) 15 % (both ends)

Furthermore, the maximum amounts of erroneous periods from the available time on the entire connection are:
h h h

degraded minutes errored seconds severely errored seconds

10 % 8% 0.1 %

Because the reference connection is very long compared to practical transmission connections, medium grade and local grade can be con sidered as divided into 50 km sections. The amounts of erroneous periods measured from these sections are 2...5 % of the entire maximum allowed, depending on the quality level desired (refer to CCITT Com XVIII Con tribution 30, April 1985). A proposal on the quality targets for a digital connection is in the accom panying table. The proposal is calculated from the aforementioned CCITT recommendations. In calculating errored seconds, generally the transmission rate in relation to the 64 kbit/s bit rate must be taken into account, since the maximum amounts of erroneous periods deal with this rate. In the case of the Line Equipment DF 2-8, this has already been taken into account when calculating the statistics. The amount allowed for unavailable time is not given because it depends on the objectives set for equipment reliability.

INTRODUCTION
The terminal repeaters of the DF 2-8 Line Equipment are installed into cartridges of the TM4 or the TM4-EMC Construction Practice. The con nection of central battery voltages and rack alarms to the cartridges as well as the signal cable routing, groundings, and installation planning and work order are described in the operating handbooks for the construction practices. The equipment is ready to operate after its installation into a cartridge and the connection of signal cables. Before installation its strappings should, however, always be checked as well as the possible changes required be made. The instructions for installation of the equipment into cartridges, cabling of signal interfaces, and strappings are given below. NOTE Wrist grounding or corresponding protection should always be used when handling a plug-in unit removed from its pack age.

2 2.1

MOUNTING OF EQUIPMENT INTO CARTRIDGE Power supply and rack alarm interfaces
When the equipment is inserted into the cartridge, the central battery voltages and rack alarms are connected through the motherboard of the cartridge and the back connector PB1 of the equipment. At the same time the equipment is also grounded to the cartridge body.

2.2

Equipping
The connectors on the motherboards of the cartridges and the back con nectors of the equipment are standardized so that the voltages and rack alarm signals conveyed by them are always located in the same places in the connectors (see Figure 1). Due to this, no unit slots in the cartridges are reserved for particular units and it is also possible to install other equipment of Nokia ND equipment generation consisting of one plug-in unit (e.g. DF 34 terminal repeater or DM 8 multiplex equipment and Ser vice Telephone, see Figure 2) in the same cartridge together with the DF 2-8 terminal repeater. The terminal repeater DF 2-8 takes two unit slots (10 T) in a cartridge.

SIGNAL INTERFACES AND THEIR CABLING


The signal interfaces of the terminal repeater are cabled via front con nectors. The locations of the interfaces are shown in Figure 3 and in the instruction stickers delivered with the equipment to be affixed on the inside of the cartridge cover. Only a temporary connection is made to the measurement point on the front edge of the terminal repeater when service and testing functions are carried out.

3.1

Connectors and cables


The SMB coaxial connectors and Euroconnectors on the equipment are male connectors. The optical connectors are FC fibre connectors of type PC. Recommendations regarding suitable cables and connectors for sym metrical, coaxial and optical cabling as well as work instructions for the recommended cables are found in the operating handbooks for the TM4 and the TM4-EMC Construction Practice.

3.2

Main channel interface


The main channel interfaces are cabled to the coaxial connectors J3 and J4 or to euroconnector P2 (2M) on the terminal repeater (see Figure 3). NOTE The balance, impedance, and groundings of the main channel interfaces are also set with strappings.

3.3

Optical interface
The optical interfaces are cabled to the fibre connectors J2 and J6 on the terminal repeater (see Figure 3).

3.4

Service, data and service telephone interfaces


The service, data and service telephone interfaces can be permanently cabled to the Euroconnector P1 with symmetrical cable (see Figure 3). The programmable alarm outputs PA1 and PA2 as well as the far-end alarms FEAR and FEAT are cabled when required. The Service Terminal is connected to the equipment with an interface cable set delivered with the Terminal.

A marking card (example, see Figures 4 and 5) is delivered with each equipment. One side of this card is reserved for strapping information (the other side for cabling information). The card provides concise strapping instructions, a picture of the loca tions of the strappings on the PCB, an instruction for marking them as well as space for marking the strappings in effect. In addition, it also shows the factory strappings of the equipment. A properly filled card also facilitates later servicing, testing and installa tion.

Strapping example
The main channel interface strapping NR1 IGND affects the grounding of the incoming signal MIN cable sheath. The marking card (Figure 5) shows that the pin row NR1 is located up on the front edge of the PCB and that the factory strapping is the alternative "a", i.e., the sheath of the unbalanced 75 ohm cable is grounded. If one wishes to leave the unbalanced cable sheath ungrounded, the U-jumper IGND is removed from pin row NR1 and the alternative "b" is recorded on the marking card as the current strapping. If a 120 ohm balanced cable is used, the I75 U-jumper is moved to the I120 position and the OGND jumper is removed. This is alternative "c" on the marking card. If the cable sheath is not to be grounded at the input, the U-jumper IGND is removed and alternative "d" is recorded as the current strap ping.

FIBRE-OPTIC CONNECTORS
PC connectors of FC or SC type (FC = Field Connector; PC = Physical Contact) are used in the Optical Line Equipment belonging to the ND generation. The FC connector type has been specified by NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation). The maximum outer diameter of a single-fibre indoor installation cable to be connected to an FC con nector is 3.0 mm. The SC connector is a fibre-optic molded plastic con nector.

1.1

Connector
The fibre-optic connector is a fine-mechanical optical component. For best performance and reliability, the connector shall be handled cor rectly. Keep it clean and take care not to damage its finished contact sur faces. Make sure that the connector is free from dirt, dust or grease. Due to the fine-mechanical nature of the connector, rough handling is pro hibited. Touching the end of the ferrule or rubbing it against other surfaces may damage or soil the end of the fibre. The ferrule is best protected by using a protective cap on the connector whenever it is not connected anywhere. When storing optical cables equipped with connectors, they must be pro tected against dust. Short jumper cables can be stored in sealed plastic bags. By aligning a connector in a straight (not angled) position relative to an adapter, or a connector adapter of a power meter etc., the mechanical stress on the connector components when making the connection is re duced and the wear on these fine-mechanical components manufac tured with narrow matching ranges is minimized. The end of the ferrule has a little bevelling for easier alignment. Tighten the fastening nut of the connector with your fingers. No tools are required or allowed to tighten or loosen the nut. (The tightness of the fastening nut does not affect the optical performance of the connection in any way, as long as it has been turned all the way to the bottom.) Never touch the end of the ferrule or fibre with your fingers! Take care not to drop the connector, especially if it is unprotected, onto the floor or any other hard, dusty, greasy or dirty surfaces!

FIBRE-OPTIC CONNECTORS AND OPTICAL CABLES Handling Instructions 21.06.1994

ND Page 4

We recommend the following to everyone using fibre connectors: Treat the connectors as you would the lenses of a good camera; never leave con nectors laying around without protective caps! The optical interfaces of optical measuring instruments shall also be sealed and protected with their own protective caps whenever they are not in use.

1.2

Adapter
The same principles as for connectors shall be followed when handling adapters and assuring their cleanness. The handling and condition of the adapter affect the connection loss to the same degree as the connectors. Neither end of the adapter can be left open. They must be sealed and pro tected either with connectors or protective caps.

2 2.1

OPTICAL CABLES AND FIBRES Basic information


The instructions and recommendations are based on reliability aspects and the effect of the handling of the fibre on its attenuation. A glass fibre is mechanically fragile. The only mechanical defect detect able on a macroscopic level is a fracture (broken fibre). The optical cable structures are designed so that the handling of the cables differs as little as possible from the handling of corresponding metal cables. The effects of the following stress factors shall always be considered, regardless of the length of the optical cable connection:
h h h h h

pulling, longitudinal and transversal compression, torsion, bending and vibration.

FIBRE-OPTIC CONNECTORS AND OPTICAL CABLES Handling Instructions 21.06.1994

ND Page 5

The consequences of the stress on the fibres may appear immediately or after a longer time. Another characteristic feature of fibres is fracturing following a long-term tension exceeding the allowed limits. This fatigue phenomenon is due to a slow increase in microscopic cracks on the sur face of the fibre. Therefore, the handling instructions provided by the cable manufacturer shall always be followed when installing and using the cables. If the handling of the cable affects the optical qualities of the fibres, they can easily be measured. The measurement of mechanical effects on fibres and the evaluation of their significance in the long run is more difficult. The breaking phenomenon of a glass fibre follows statistical-mathemat ical laws rather than the strength laws of materials and the breakage is not necessarily preceded by a deterioration of the optical values. Therefore, in order to prolong the life of the fibre and cable, all unnecessary stress conditions approaching the allowed limits should be avoided. The following instructions are for the handling of the FMS and FTMMS cables most commonly used in indoor installations, but most of the basic principles are valid for all optical cables.

2.2

Mechanical qualities of cables


Bending radii for cables and fibres When handling optical cables and optical fibres, the minimum permiss ible bending radius shall especially be considered. Bending radii smaller than the minimum bending radius given by the manufacturer must never be used. Under normal operating conditions, the bending of the cable is more critical with regard to the mechanical qualities of the cable and fibres than with regard to the optical performance of the fibres. The following main rules can be given for the minimum bending radius of an FMS-type cable (and a solid-state-coated fibre) used in the inter nal cabling of a rack: 1) THE RECOMMENDED BENDING RADIUS is 50 mm or more in permanent and long-term installations as well as during storage. 2) DURING MEASUREMENTS the bending radius of all cables and fibres belonging to the measurement system shall be greater than 40 mm. 3) DURING SHORT-TERM BENDING the minimum bending radius is 25 mm.

FIBRE-OPTIC CONNECTORS AND OPTICAL CABLES Handling Instructions 21.06.1994

ND Page 6

Instead of bending cables and fibres according to the minimum permiss ible bending radius (25 mm), it is recommended they be bent with a mini mum radius of 50 mm. This corresponds more or less to the situation where a 100 V capacitor with a derating factor of 0.5 is recommended to be used with no more than 50 V. Tensile strength of cables The maximum permissible pulling force on an FMS-type cable is 100 N. The corresponding value for an FTMMS cable is 700 N. Other mechanical qualities A single fibre can withstand a relatively large transversal compression if no other stress is being exerted simultaneously. In actuality, however, the stress states of the cables and fibres are complicated. Bending is usually associated with transversal compression which may appear as extremely sharp and localized microscopic bending in the fibre, capable of causing a large local increase in attenuation. When designing indoor cables, the goal is usually a light-weight and flexible structural solution, which means that the protection for the fibres against transversal compression may be rather insignificant. The low tolerance for longitudinal compression of indoor cables is due to the same reason. On the other hand, due to installation-technical rea sons, the cable must usually withstand a certain amount of pulling, but not nearly as much longitudinal compression. The stress caused by torsion in cables and fibres shall be minimized. Tor sion occurs e.g. when even a short jumper cable which has been coiled is straightened out while holding on to both ends of the cable. Most of the spiral torsion is released by hanging the cable from one end. The remain ing torsion is removed by pulling and sliding the cable between one's fingers, pressing gently while the cable and its other end is free to turn.

2.3

Other physical and chemical qualities of cables


Only special cables will endure strong chemicals, oils, low and high tem peratures.

FIBRE-OPTIC CONNECTORS AND OPTICAL CABLES Handling Instructions 21.06.1994

ND Page 7

2.4

Practical installation instructions


Keep in mind the recommended bending radius of the cable and follow it. Do not exceed the maximum permissible pulling force when pulling the cable. Do not leave a cable or fibre under permanent axial stress (pull or compression). Do not turn the cable and fibres. Make sure that the cables or fibres are not compressed between mechanical parts or clamped when equipping the rack. Optical cables and optical fibres shall be handled more carefully than copper cables or wires of the same size. If single-fibre indoor cables are installed on cable shelves, it is recom mended that they be slipped into a flexible plastic conduit or a plastic spi ral acting as a mechanical shield against transversal compression. The recommended bending radius of the cable should also be ensured when the cable is tightened, i.e. pulled. In the ideal situation, the radii of curvature of all surfaces limiting the route of the cable should be equal to or larger than the recommended bending radius of the cable. The recommended bending radii can often be accomplished by leaving enough slack in the cable and ensuring that this slack remains with proper mounting hardware on both sides of the bending point. When using cable ties, make sure that they are not tightened too much to prevent excessive local compression and bending of the fibres. Note that cable ties cannot be used as actual cable clamps on FMS and FTMMS cables, but rather as holders and mounting hardware keeping earlier in stalled cables and their slacks in the correct positions. NOTE: The cable clamps of the TM4 rack must never be used with optical cables or fibres. When installing optical cables, the objectives should be a clear grouping, straightforward routing as well as a certain degree of spaciousness. If op tical cables are to be installed in a rack, the recommended filling degree of the cable space in the rack body is 0.7. Pulling one cable must not cause tightening and pulling in the other cables or fibres in the rack! For a coiled jumper cable to be installed in the rack, the spiral turns shall be removed. Otherwise, torsional strain will be caused on the cable and its fibres when pulling stress is introduced. When the turns have been re moved, the cables will stay straight better and will not easily become en tangled.

FIBRE-OPTIC CONNECTORS AND OPTICAL CABLES Handling Instructions 21.06.1994

ND Page 8

Cables and plastic covers of fibres tend to "remember" their earlier condition. This should be taken into account when a cable which has been wound into a coil for a long time or a pigtail fibre (or cable) of an active component is unwound and then wound again. The new coil should be wound in the direction to which the cable or fibre bends - without forc ing. Otherwise unnecessary and extra strain will be caused in the cables and fibres. If the holes through which the cables or fibres are taken have sharp edges, they shall be protected which edge tape. The tape protects the cables and fibres from being damaged by the sharp edges of the holes. Also make sure that the bending radius at the holes is within specified limits. When the various types of stress affecting the cables and fibres approach their limit values, their added effect must also be considered. A combina tion of a certain amount of simultaneous bending and pulling may be come critical, even if either stress separately and alone is acceptable. For example, the bending radius of an outdoor cable must typically be larger when installing the cable than after the installation has been completed. Also, the minimum installation temperature is higher than the minimum operating temperature.

OPTICAL CONNECTOR CLEANING PROCEDURE


The following methods can be used for cleaning the FC and SC con nectors and adapters in Nokia's optical products. The cleanness of an optical connector must be ascertained one way or the other before it is taken into use. Cleanness is ensured when one of the fol lowing items is fulfilled: 1. 2. Always clean optical connectors before connecting. Always check the cleanness of the connector visually before connect ing. Use a microscope with magnification of at least 50 times to check the fibre and ferrule ends. It is known that the connector is clean (it has been cleaned or checked recently): WARNING 1 The Nokia optical line equipment, equipped with a laser transmitter, is provided with a warning sticker conforming to the output power. Before optical connector cleaning the yellow safety page of the Operating Hand book of the laser equipment and the warning sticker should be reviewed for safety warnings, markings and instructions. These must then be fol lowed to ensure safe cleaning.

WARNING 2 The cleaning methods detailed in these instructions do not apply to op tical test instruments. Optical test instruments must always be cleaned in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

3.1

Optical cleaning kit


h h h h h h

Optical Grade Solvent (Optical Grade ethyl alcohol or Acetone) Swabs Pipe Cleaners Cleaning Wipes (e.g. "Kim Wipes") Blowing Agent, filtered gas suitable for optical cleaning (e.g. "Hand-Air") Protective gloves

Special attention must also be paid to the cleanness of hands and equip ment used when cleaning optical components. To avoid skin contact, clean protective gloves should be used when applying the solvent. The gloves protect hands from the effects of the solvent and components to be cleaned from grease secreting from skin. The items of the cleaning kit must be stored and transported in boxes, containers and packages which protect them against dirt, dust and grease.

3.2

Method for connector cleaning


Apply solvent to the end of a swab so that it becomes thoroughly wet but does not drip. Wipe first the ends of the connector ferrule and fibre. Wipe only in one direction across the end of the ferrule (the swab horizontally), rotate the swab slowly to present a continuously changing and therefore clean part of the swab to the end of the ferrule. Without letting the swab touch the ends of the ferrule and fibre, wipe the bevelling at the end of the ferrule and then the metal shaft. Using the blowing agent, blow off any remaining particles in the con nector and the ferrule. The connector is now clean and ready to be con nected. Do not reuse that end of the swab again.

Protective caps
Protective caps must be clean! Caps must be cleaned with solvent and blowing agent. Clean caps must be stored in a clean box with a lid that is kept closed. Before a cap is fitted use the blowing agent to remove any particles.

3.4

Adapter cleaning
The adapter may be cleaned by the following method: 1) Blow first the threads and then through the centre. 2) Clean the threads with a swab and solvent. 3) Apply solvent on the wipe so that it becomes thoroughly wet but does not drip. Take a pipe cleaner and pull through the wipe a few times to remove any loose fibres. 4) Place the same end of the pipe cleaner through the adapter so that about 30 mm protrudes through the other side. 5) Apply a few drops of solvent to this end and pull slowly through the adapter. 6) Give a final blow of the threads and thereafter through the centre.

INTRODUCTION
The operation of the Optical Line Equipment DF 2-8 is controlled via the service interface MI using the Service Terminal. Through this inter face, equipment state and alarm data are read, controls and settings are given, loopbacks are ordered, etc. If the service interfaces have been connected into a bus and the buses have been further connected into a service network by means of a data channel, all equipment connected to the bus or network can be remotecontrolled from one point using the Service Terminal or the Transmission Management System TMS (see the corresponding operating hand books). Enclosed to this handbook is a separate description of the DF 2-8, Oper ation with Service Terminal. The service menus obtained from the equip ment and their use are described in this description. For the Service Ter minal there is a separate Operating Handbook.

COMMISSIONING
The equipment is ready to operate after its installation into a cartridge and the connection of signal cables. Before commissioning, however, the software settings should be checked, the clock frequencies should be measured, if required, and the statistics and error counters must be reset.

2.1

Software settings
In connection with the commissioning, the equipment name and the fol lowing permanent settings shall be checked and the required changes be made. The number of the service menu through which the change is made and the factory setting are given in parentheses. Identifications Equipment name (4,7,2/DF2-8 AB) Used, when necessary, in network management to identify a set of equip ment, in addition to the address. The name is also visible when Fault dis play is used. The name may be, for example, the equipment type and some abbreviation related to the route (together max. 15 characters).

2 and 8 Mbit/s OPTICAL LINE EQUIPMENT Operation 26.5.1993

DF 2-8 II/3 Page 4

Settings Baud rate (6,1,1/9600 bit/s) In case the equipment is not in a bus, a service interface MI speed as high as possible (9600) should be used. When the equipment is in a bus, the speed is set to correspond to the one used in the bus. Address (6,1,2/4095) Each equipment in the bus shall have its own address by means of which it can be accessed separately. Equipment which is not in the bus does not need an address; the connection can be established using the address 4095 common to all equipment. Rack alarm functions (6,1,3/normal) If it is desired that rack alarms are not given normally, e.g. during commis sioning, the alarms can be set to be inhibited or urgent alarms A can be replaced by less urgent alarms B. Rack alarm delay (6,1,4/1 s) If it is desired that short, occasional alarms are filtered, i.e. prevent them from causing a rack alarm A, a time > 0 is set here. However, even then continual short alarms will cause a rack alarm. Programmable alarm outputs PA1 and PA2 functions (6,1,5 PA1/alarm A activates; 6,1,6 PA2/alarm B activates) The desired alarm condition is selected by this setting to activate the out puts PA1 and PA2. From them, alarm data can be collected with some fault monitoring system. The output PA1 can also be used e.g. to control a change-over equipment in protected systems. Control timeout (6,1,7/10 min) A time is selected during which the controls remain active. Normally the time can be short (< 10 min) but if one wishes to keep a certain control (e.g. loopback in connection with testing) active for a longer period, the timeout can be set to be greater (max. 65000 min). Data hybrid configuration (6,1,8/set OFF) The use of the data hybrid depends on the structure of the service net work.

2 and 8 Mbit/s OPTICAL LINE EQUIPMENT Operation 26.5.1993

DF 2-8 II/3 Page 5

Transmission bit rate (6,2,1/2048 kbit/s) The main channel transmission bit rate is set to 8448 kbit/s if required. Code table (6,2,2/normal code table (two-fibre system) The selection of the code table depends on whether the system in use is a one-fibre or two-fibre system. In a two-fibre system normal code table is used. For bidirectional trans mission in a one-fibre system the code A/B is set in use in the terminal at one end of the line section and the code B/A in the terminal at the other end. Consequences of far-end alarm (6,3,2/S-alarm) No alarm is usually given of the received far-end alarm because the fault has been detected elsewhere but if desired, alarm A or alarm B can be set to be given. However, S-alarm visible in the Service Terminal is always given. It indicates that the main service of the system is missing. Alarm threshold for BER: AIS & A-alarm (6,4,1/E-3) For the bit error rate an alarm threshold is set (E-3 or E-4) at which the AIS will be connected in the place of the signal and A-alarm be given. Alarm threshold for BER: B-alarm (6,4,2/transmission bit rate 2M: E-5, transmission bit rate 8M: E-6) For the bit error rate an alarm threshold is set (E-5 or E-6) at which B-alarm will be given. Alarm threshold for laser bias current (6,4,3/50 %) An alarm threshold for the laser transmitter bias current alarm is set or the alarm is set out of use. The alarm threshold is set by giving the permis sible percentual increase for the initial bias current value of the laser. (Not in terminal repeaters provided with a low-power laser or LED transmitter). Alarm threshold for laser temperature (6,4,4/40 _C) An alarm threshold for the laser transmitter temperature alarm is set or the alarm is set out of use. (Not in terminal repeaters provided with a low-power laser or LED transmitter).

DF 2-8 II/3 Page 6

Laser safety mode (6,6/laser cut-off not in use) The desired operating mode of the automatic cut-off and restart of the laser transmitter in case the incoming optical signal is missing is set. (Not in terminal repeaters provided with a LED transmitter). If the laser cut-off is not in use (6,6,1), the laser transmitter is not cut off even though the incoming optical signal were missing. For safety reasons, however, the laser transmitter can be set to operate so that it is cut off when the incoming optical signal is missing (6,6,2 or 6,6,3). When item 6,6,2 is set, the laser restart is in use and after a cut-off the laser transmitter restarts automatically as soon as the incoming optical signal is recovered. When item 6,6,3 is set, the restart is not in use and after a cut-off the laser transmitter can be restarted only manually. The lasers are manually restarted by item 5,4,4. Default settings (6,7) With this setting the so-called factory settings can be restored to the equipment. Does not affect the settings Baud rate, Address, Transmission bit rate, Code table, Transmitter type, or Calibrations. User privileges Timeout (10,4,1/10 min) The time which the privileges obtained with the password or PIN signal (see Protections) are in effect is set (max. 1000 min). Protections (10,4,2/no protections) Some of the transmission management functions of the equipment can be protected against misuse. The protection is implemented by setting either a password (makes remote operation possible) or PIN signal as the condi tion for operation. The making of settings and controls is restricted by the PIN signal only to local operation and thus the possibility of misuse is smaller but the remote-controlled management of the network becomes more difficult. Password (10,4,3/ - ) The password can consist of 1...7 characters. The protection is activated by item 10,4,2 Protections. It is recommended that this is set only after the commissioning of the equipment and when the connection functions faultlessly.

2.2

Commissioning measurements
Commissioning measurements are not necessarily required. Clock fre quencies, however, can be measured if desired. The main channel AIS oscillator frequency is measured from the terminal repeater measurement point MP. The frequency is connected to the measurement point through the service menu 5,5. The signal coming to the measurement point is AIS clock divided by 5. The recommended values for the frequencies are:
h h

2M clock: 409.59 ... 409.61 kHz (409.6 kHz  30 ppm) 8M clock: 1689.57 ... 1689.63 kHz (1689.6 kHz  20 ppm)

2.3

Statistics resetting
Signal quality statistics and error counters are reset during commission ing.
h h

Reset statistics (8,1,1) Reset error counters (8,2,1)

In this way it is made sure that the compilation of statistics and error counting start from the commissioning.

MAINTENANCE
The equipment does not require scheduled maintenance. Maintenance is needed only when the equipment indicates with alarms that there is a fault. Accurate data concerning the equipment state and the nature of the fault are obtained via the Service Terminal. Additional data on the condition of the equipment and the signal quality are obtained from the measurements and statistics made by the equip ment itself. Measurement results and statistics are read with the Service Terminal. By means of the Service Terminal, also the tests and loopbacks possibly required in fault location can be made.

When the red service LED is lit, there is a serious fault in the equipment and it usually has to be replaced by a new one. It is probably a question of power supply failure, i.e. the equipment-specific power supply does not function. The red service LED, red rack alarm lamp and programmable alarm output PA1 are activated by means of an external auxiliary voltage. When the yellow service LED is lit, the fault may, for example, be in the signal received by the equipment. The alarm can also be caused by some controlled service function performed in the equipment (e.g. loopback). The alarming equipment itself is not necessarily faulty; the fault may be in the far-end equipment, signal cabling or the line section. The green service LED is lit when the equipment is accessed by the Ser vice Terminal.

3.2

State and fault messages


The state and fault messages of the equipment obtained through the ser vice menu 1 Fault display by the Service Terminal or the TMS Trans mission Management System are described below together with their meanings. The rack alarm/service LED indication obtained from the equipment in each situation is given in parentheses.

Laser temperature out of range (B/yellow) The laser transmitter temperature has exceeded the set alarm threshold. The alarm can be set altogether out of use with the Service Terminal. Forced control on (A or B/yellow) The laser transmitter is force-controlled ON (alarm B) or OFF (alarm A). Forced laser cut-off (A/yellow) The laser transmitter is cut off. The cut-off may be caused by the missing of the incoming optical signal (in case under the item Safety mode, the option Laser restart not in use has been set), by the bias current or the optical output power exceeding the defined limit, or by a force-control. Test mode (A/yellow) An equipment test is running.

MAIN interface
No incoming 2M/8M signal (A/yellow) The incoming 2 Mbit/s or 8 Mbit/s main channel signal is missing. Loop to interface (A/yellow) Loopback to interface is connected at the main channel interface. Loop to equipment (A/yellow) Loopback to equipment is connected at the main channel interface. Test mode (A/yellow) An equipment test is running.

Control block
Memory fault (B/yellow) A fault detected by the equipment in EPROM, RAM or EEPROM test. Eq. reset (A/ - ) The local processor of the equipment has been reset (or some other simi lar malfunction). This fault message is obtained via the TMS Trans mission Management System only.

Repeater FEA
Far-end alarm (A, B or - /if A or B, yellow) In a chained line equipment system a far-end alarm has been received from the terminal repeater front connector. The function of the alarms in this fault condition can be set with the Service Terminal.

3.3

Fault location
Sometimes in fault conditions, an alarm is received simultaneously from several sets of equipment. This is due to the fact that the effect of the fault spreads along the signal path with the faulty signal. Usually, however, the set of equipment that has detected a fault transmits the AIS whereupon the other sets do not alarm but indicate the AIS.

2 and 8 Mbit/s OPTICAL LINE EQUIPMENT Operation 26.5.1993

DF 2-8 II/3 Page 13

If it is not possible to locate the fault on the basis of the fault data provided by the alarms and the Service Terminal, the use of equipment and inter face loopbacks, testing of the internal signal path of the equipment, and memory tests can be of help. NOTE Loopbacks and signal path tests cut off the traffic. Unless can celled, they are in effect during the whole time set for controls (6,1,7 Control timeout). The operation of data channels and the service telephone are not, however, affected by the loopbacks. Loop-back to interface (5,2,2) Loopback to interface is used in testing a line section and signal cabling. The loopback can be made at the 2/8 Mbit/s main channel interface. Loop-back to equipment (5,2,3) Loopback to equipment is used in testing the equipment, line section and signal cabling. The loopback can be made at the 2/8 Mbit/s main channel interface.

inside the equipment and thus the network can be tested more exten sively. For the signal path test, external loops have to be connected to the main channel interface and the optical interface by cables. The test is started with the service menu command 9,2,2. As test result (9,2,3) either the answer Passed or Failed is obtained depending whether the signal has been faultless or not after the setting of test mode or the previous displaying of the result. If the answer is Failed, the equipment is faulty and it should be replaced by a functioning one.

Performance and follow-up measurements


Since the equipment itself collects data on signal quality and error occur rences and indicates faults by alarms, only few performance measure ments carried out with separate measurement instruments are required. The supply voltages, quantities related to optical components, and the bit error rate can be measured using the Service Terminal. Supply voltages The supply voltages can be measured and the result read through the Ser vice Terminal menu 7,1. If the supply voltages deviate from the recommended values, it is advis able to have the equipment checked. The allowable range of variation for the +5 V voltage is +5 % and for the +12 V voltages +10 % . Optical quantities The following optical quantities can be measured through the Service Terminal menu 7,2:
h

Laser bias current * The increasing of the laser bias current may be followed if desired. Typically, the bias current increases when the laser ages.

Laser temperature *, ** The nominal value of the temperature is 25 _C +2 _C.

Received optical signal power The power of the received optical signal depends on the transmitter type and the type and length of the optical cable.

The values used in connection with statistics can be used as a basis for the performance evaluation (see Functional Description). In jitter measurements, the signal to be measured is taken either from the front connector or the measurement point and measured with an oscillo scope. The recommended values for jitter measurements are given in the CCITT Recommendations G.742, G.751 and G.823.

Monitoring of statistics
Signal quality (8,1) The statistics on signal quality can be read using the Service Terminal. These statistics cover the time from the resetting to the reading. The read ing of the statistics does not reset the statistics. Evaluation of the results, see the Functional Description. If the local processor (CPU) of the equipment is reset, for example due to a voltage breakdown, also the statistics are reset and the compilation of the new statistics starts from that moment. In case the CPU-reset counter has been reset at the same time as the statistics, the resetting caused by the breakdown will also be seen from the counter. Error counters (8,2) CPU-reset counter (8,2,2) Displays the number of local processor resets. If the answer is > 255, the counter is full. Received optical bit errors (8,2,3) Displays the cumulative sum of bit errors detected in the received optical signal. If the answer is > 65535, the counter is full. Received optical frame alignment losses (8,2,4) Displays the number of frame alignment losses detected in the received optical signal. If the answer is > 255, the counter is full. If the error counters are full, the exact number of errors can not be obtained.

GENERAL
The operation of the DF 2-8 Optical Line Equipment is controlled using the Service Terminal via the service interface. With the Service Terminal, the basic equipment settings can be set into the non-volatile memory, service functions, e.g. loop-backs, can be performed, or the state and alarm data of the equipment can be read, etc. If the service interfaces are connected into a bus and the buses further into a service network by means of the data channel, all equipment con nected to the bus or network can be remote-controlled from one point using the Service Terminal (or the TMS Transmission Management Sys tem, see the corresponding operating handbooks). All the transmission management functions which can be performed with the Service Terminal are dealt with in this description. The functions are menu based and the menus have 1...4 levels. The service menus of the equipment are accessed using the Service Ter minal menu Select operation.
