Optical Safety Aspects

Page 18: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Class 3A Requirements

Page 19: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Design FeaturesNormal Operating Conditions

– Under normal operating conditions each optical fiber section is essentially a closed system permitting no human access to optical radiation

Installation & System Maintenance– There is no requirement during installation or maintenance for an

operator to view a fiber end or connector while the associated laser is powered

Servicing– The optical units are not intended for servicing by the user. In the

event of a fault, the optical units must be returned to Nortel Limited for repair or replacement

Page 20: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

System Operating Levels

Laser output powers are set up and controlled within 0.5 dB of nominal during manufacture

The optical output power level above is the mean power value which is the most onerous from the safety point of view

Application Software

The TN-1X is managed using embedded application software which performs the internal control and monitoring functions

The configuration and status information is stored in each Network Element (NE) and not in the management tools used to control them

Page 58: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

User InterfaceTN-1X monitoring and configuration through UI of the

application software

Accessed through:– Locally by a Craft Access Terminal (CAT) connected directly to the TN-

1X– Remotely via the Preside EC-1 Element Controller

The TN-1X also provides an interface to the rack alarm system (not applicable to the TN-1X/S)

– Browser User Interface (Browser)• Point-and-click hypertext interface. The interface is viewed by Netscape Navigator

– Command Line User Interface• Text-based interface

Page 59: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

TN 1X DeploymentWhen used in a managed network environment, the TN-

1X Multiplexer operates as either:

A ‘gateway network element’ (TN-1X only) which provides an interface to the next layer of the network management hierarchy (for example, element controller) and an interface for remote multiplexers via the Embedded Control Channel (ECC)

A ‘network element’ (TN-1X and TN-1X/S) which provides an interface to the next layer of the network management hierarchy, or interfaces via the ECC and a ‘gateway network element’

Page 60: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Preside EC-1 Element ControllerA complete network management application software

package, operating at the Element Manager level of the network management hierarchy

The GUI system can be run on a single HP UNIX workstation to provide flexible management of TN-1X, TN-1X/S, TN-1C, TN-1P and Optera Metro 4100 multiplexers

The Element Controller facilities are divided into five main areas:– Configuration– Alarm/Event Monitoring– Performance Monitoring– Security Management– Reporting

Page 61: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Configuration

This function provides the means of adding, copying, modifying, and removing network elements

The Element Controller provides GUI sessions for configuration and connection management, and also provides access to the UI on the NE for further configuration facilities

Page 62: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Alarm/Event Monitoring

Events (changes in status of network entities) and alarms (indications of actual or potential failures) are received as unsolicited reports from the network element

The Element Controller provides on-screen displays at three different levels of detail (including an Alarm Count only mode), and full event logging and reporting facilities

Page 63: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Performance Monitoring

The TN-1X, TN-1X/S, TN-1C, TN-1P and Optera Metro 4100 NEs have comprehensive performance monitoring facilities, allowing the monitoring of selected points within the multiplexer against a range of performance criteria

The Element Controller uses these facilities to provide powerful report generation features

Page 64: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Security Management

The Element Controller provides security safeguards against unauthorized users, and restricts authorized users to a subset of features appropriate to their role

Data security is provided by automatic daily back-ups of all network data and clear warnings are provided if the system disk becomes too full

Page 65: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Reporting

The reporting function of the Element Controller allows the generation of reports about event logs, performance logs, NE configuration, and faulty equipment

System Configurations

Conventional Terminal Multiplexer in protected point-to-point configurations

Drop and Insert Multiplexer with two aggregate units

Terminal Multiplexer with a single aggregate unit–Unprotected point-to-point connections–End terminals in DI Chain

Page 98: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Typical System Configuration

Page 99: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Terminal MultiplexerAs a conventional terminal multiplexer with 2 aggregate

units, TN-1X provides a p-p link with inherent 1-1 protection

Achieved by configuring the mux as a D&I multiplexer and:

– Configuring the aggregates for MSP or – Setting all tributaries as protected connections

An unprotected terminal multiplexer configuration can be achieved by :

– Configuring the 1X as a D&I mux– Setting all tributaries as unprotected connections to 1 aggregate port– Unequipping the unused aggregate port

Page 100: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Terminal Multiplexer View

Page 101: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Drop & Insert Multiplexer Slide 1/2

When configured as a D&I mux (Add/Drop Multiplexer - ADM), TN-1X can be used in two configurations:– Drop and insert chain – Figure Figure – Drop and insert ring – Figure

As a simple D&I chain , no protection is provided against faults in the optical path and the mux are configured as unprotected– The end terminals only require a single aggregate port

Page 102: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Drop & Insert Multiplexer Slide 2/2

Flattened rings – Figure b make use of existing patterns of ducts and fibers to form a distorted ring

Protection against faults in the optical paths is provided by routing the traffic simultaneously both ways around the ring and configuring the mux as D&I mux

However, the flattened ring configuration is susceptible to the common mode faults (e.g.both optical fibers in a duct being broken at the same time)

Page 103: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Drop & Insert Multiplexer View

Page 104: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Drop & Insert Multiplexer RingThe D&I ring provides diverse routing which

overcomes common mode faults and thus provides protection against a fault in any optical path

Tributaries that require protection are routed both ways around the ring

At the receiving mux, traffic from one aggregate port is used unless there is a fault when traffic from the other aggregate port is used

Page 105: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Drop & Insert Multiplexer Ring View

Page 106: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

STM-4 AggregatesWhen STM-4 Aggregate Units are used, each TN-1X/4

multiplexer is used to :– Provide D&I facilities for any one of the 4 AUGs which make up the

STM-4 payload– The remaining three AUGs are routed from aggregate unit A to aggregate

unit B, and vice-versa, for onward transmission – In this way, the payload in the ‘East’ and ‘West’ directions (Figure ) is

maintained.

The TN-1X/4 can also be used to provide the grooming function at the ring head

– Requires access to 1,2,3 or 4 AUGs within the STM-4 aggregate signal – Requires a separate TN-1X/4 multiplexer for each AUG to be accessed

Page 107: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

ApplicationThe main application of the TN-1X/4 multiplexer is in

optical rings where it is used to provide access to both private and switched traffic as follows:

– Private Circuit (PC) traffic is routed to • Other access rings terminating at the same ring head site or

• Alternatively to other remotely sited access rings

– Switched traffic is routed to the Digital Local Exchange (DLE)– Whilst most of the traffic flow will be from ring node to ring head, some

private circuit traffic will be routed between:• Ring nodes

• Some switched traffic will be routed between remote switches attached to the ring nodes

STM Spur – Unprotected

Figure shows the connection of a STM-1 spur from a TN-1X (typically a TN-1X/S situated at the customer premises or in street cabinets) to a TN-1X STM-1 ring

In this application, the TN-1X at the customer premises is configured as an unprotected terminal multiplexer – Connected to a STM-1 Tributary Unit at the TN-1X in the

STM-1 ring– No protection is provided for traffic on the spur

Page 113: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

STM Spur – Protected

Page 114: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

STM Spur – ProtectedFigure shows the connection of partially filled STM-1

spur from a TN-1X to a TN-1X/4 STM-4 ring using duplicated STM-1 tributaries

In this configuration, Multiplex Section Protection (MSP) is used to provide protection for the spur traffic

– The spur TN-1X is configured as a protected terminal mux with the aggregate ports configured for MSP

The STM-1 tributaries at the TN-1X/4 in the STM-4 ring must also be configured for MSP

In the event of failure of the working path, traffic is automatically switched to the protection path

In this application, both TN-1Xs are configured as D&I mux with each pair of STM-1 tributaries configured for MSP to provide protection for the inter-connection traffic

In the event of failure of the working path, traffic is automatically switched to the protection path

Interconnection of 1X/4 (STM ring)

Figure shows the interconnection between TN-1X/4s in an STM-4 ring– Which are dropping/inserting different AU4s, allowing for

traffic grooming between AU4s in the ring

Page 121: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Single Fiber WorkingThe TN-1X is capable of operating in a single fiber mode

– A single optical fiber is used to carry bi-directional optical signals between adjacent mux

– The conversion between two fiber working and single fiber working is performed externally to the multiplexer by a 2-1 optical converter box (Figure )

– If a break occurs in the single fiber, there is a possibility of the transmitted traffic being echoed by the 2-1 optical converter box to the receive port on the same multiplexer

– This signal must be recognized as faulty and Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) transmitted downstream

– To recognize the echoed signal, the high-order path trace facility should be used with the transmit and receive path trace settings set to different values and the consequent actions enabled

Page 122: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Single Fiber Working

Page 123: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Single Fiber WorkingIn the event of a broken fiber where the echo is sufficient

to constitute a valid signal:– The multiplexer does not behave in the normal manner to a Loss of Signal

event– A transient Loss of Frame alarm will be raised whilst the mux is

achieving frame alignment to the echoed signal

The Loss of Signal alarm is used as a trigger for automatic laser shutdown (ALS)

In the event of a broken fiber (sufficient echo) the Loss of Signal will not be raised

– Therefore ALS is not supported when operating in a single fiber mode

Engineering Order Wire Slide 1/3

Provides a dedicated telephone communication system

For maintenance purposes between TN-1Xs in a ring or line configuration

The facility only operates over a single ring or chain and does not support branches or multiple rings/chains

A maximum of 99 nodes are allowed in the ring or chain

Uses the E1 or E2 bytes (hardware selectable) in the STM section overhead to provide a 64 kbit/s voice communication channel between TN-1Xs

Page 125: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Engineering Order Wire Slide 2/3

If the path section is invalid (i.e. out of alignment), the communication path is disconnected

Both ends of a path segment needs to be set to use the same EOW byte

The EOW system requires a single EOW Unit at each TN-1X in the network

The EOW system uses a standard DTMF telephone which is connected to :

– The Local Craft Access Panel on the TN-1X– The EOW/CATT Connector Panel on the TN-1X/S

TN 1X – Power Units

Page 129: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

1X Power Units Slide 1/2

Contains one or two Power Units which provide the +5 V, –5.2 V, +12 V, and –2 V supplies for the subrack units

The Power Units operate in a load sharing mode, however, each Power Unit is capable of supplying the total power requirement

Removal/Insertion of power units possible in load sharing mode without affecting the performance of TN-1X

The Power Units operate from a battery supply in the range of 40 V to 72 V (nominal 48 V or 60 V)

Each subrack requires two separately fused supplies

Page 130: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

1X Power Units Slide 2/2

One supply is used to provide the ‘power’ input to the first Power Unit and the ‘alarm’ input to the second Power Unit

The other supply is used to provide the ‘power’ input to the second Power Unit and the ‘alarm’ input to the first Power Unit

This ensures that power is still available to the subrack if one of the fused supplies fails

Page 133: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

VC-12/VC-3 Path Protection Switching

The Subrack Controller can provide autonomous PPS at the VC-12 and VC-3 levels

– Protection of the VC-12s and VC-3s is performed by:– Transmitting the VCs from both aggregate ports– Performing autonomous protection switching between the received VCs

at the terminating mux

Protected VCs occupy the same logical channel at both aggregate ports

Unprotected VCs only occupy a logical channel at one aggregate port, allowing the same logical channel at the other aggregate unit to be used for another unprotected VC

Page 134: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

VC-12/VC-3 Path Protection Switching

In case of an optical fault ALS is initiated – Causes traffic in both directions of the ring section to be

shut down – Results in a dual ended path switch that sustains traffic

during an optical fault in one section of the ring

Note - 1The HP alarms cause a protection switch on all the

protected VC-12 and VC-3 paths

The LP alarms cause a protection switch on the specific VC-12 or VC-3 path against which the specific alarm was raised

A protection switch will also occur on all protected VC-12 and VC-3 paths as an indirect consequence a RS-LOS, RS-LOF, MS-AIS, MS-EXC and HP-TIM alarms raised on an Aggregate Unit (due to AU-AIS being injected towards the Payload Manager)

Page 139: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Note - 2

PPS is controlled by the user interface and is enabled/ disabled for each path separately

Automatic PPS is disabled for 2 minutes after changing the on-line configuration

If a condition which should trigger protection switching occurs during the two minutes, switching will be delayed until the end of the 2 minute period

Page 140: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Manual PPS

In the manual mode (PPS off), a path protection switch can be initiated on each path individually via the user interface

It is not possible to perform a manual switch while the mux is in detached mode

Page 141: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Persistence Checks

Failure Persistence Check–Overcome undesired protection switches– In case of higher levels (VC-12 thru STM –16)

Restoration Persistence Check– Prevent the a protection switch to a faulty path and

excessive oscillations between paths due to LP-EXC alarms being raised on both paths

1:N 2 Mbit/s Trib Protection1:N trib protection allows traffic on any of the 2 Mbit/s

Trib Units to be switched to a protection 2 Mbit/s Trib Unit in the low-speed trib protection slot (S3)

For 1:N protection to be used, the following units/modules must be fitted:

– 2 Mbit/s Trib Units in the normal (S2, S4, S9, and S11) and protection (S3) slots must be of the same impedance type (75 or120 )

– The protection 2 Mbit/s Trib Unit in slot S3 must be equipped as either HVT or HVQ

– 1:N Protection 2 Mbit/s Traffic Access Modules (TAMs) must be fitted – Each 2 Mbit/s Tributary Unit, except the protection 2 Mbit/s Unit,

requires two 1:N Protection TAM– The EOW Unit (ICC2) (NTKD13AA) must be equipped

When 1:N tributary protection is disabled, no protection of the 2 Mbit/s Trib Unit is provided, even though the necessary units may be equipped

Page 147: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Automatic Mode

In the automatic mode, 1:N protection switching is controlled by the mux

An automatic 1:N protection switch will occur if any of the following alarm conditions exist on a 2 Mbit/s Trib Unit in slot S2, S4, S9 or S11:– NE-Card_Out– NE-Card_Fail– NE-Card_Fault

Page 148: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Automatic Mode contd.

NE-Card_Out - 1:N protection switch occurs– Traffic is routed through the protection card and full traffic will be

restored

NE-Card_Fail and NE-Card_Fault can take seconds to detect

After an automatic switch has occurred, no more automatic switches are possible as the protection 2 Mbit/s Trib Unit is being used to carry traffic

If the working card recovers, traffic remains permanently on the protection card, unless the user performs a manual reversion

Page 149: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Auto – Revertive

Enables protection traffic to return automatically to the working card when the switching condition clears

Occurs a specified time after the condition has cleared - Wait-To-Restore (WTR) period (300 seconds)

The WTR period applies to the protection card

Note: Not supported on the Preside

Page 150: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Manual

In the manual mode, the protection switch is initiated by the user via the user interface

It is not possible to perform a manual switch while the mux is in detached mode

Page 151: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Switching PrerequisitesThe EOW Unit (ICC2), the active Payload

Manager and the protection 2 Mbit/s Trib Unit (S3) do not have any NE_Card_Fail

NE_Card_Out, or NE-Card_Fault alarms present

The faulty 2 Mbit/s Trib Unit must have traffic connections made

1:N protection switch has not already been made, i.e. the protection 2 Mbit/s Trib Unit (S3) does not have traffic connections

Page 152: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

1:N Trib Switching AlarmsNE-np1_switch_Alarm

– Indicates that a successful manual or automatic switch to the protection 2 Mbit/s Trib Unit has occurred and the other 2 Mbit/s Trib Units are no longer protected

– The alarm will be cleared when a manual reversion to the original 2 Mbit/s Trib Unit is performed

NE-Card_Out (for TAM slot)– This alarm indicates that an 1:N Protection 2 Mbit/s TAM has been

removed from the subrack.

NE-Wrong_Card (for TAM slot)– Indicates that a wrong TAM has fitted or the 1:N Protection TAM has

failed

Page 153: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Payload Manager Switching

Page 154: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Payload Manager SwitchingThe Payload Managers operate in a main/standby mode

with only the traffic outputs of one Payload Manager active at any one time

If the Subrack Controller detects a fault on the main Payload Manager, it instructs the standby Payload Manager to become active (if no faults are present on the standby Payload Manager)

The Subrack Controller also instructs the relevant trib and aggregate units to receive/transmit via the standby Payload Manager

Payload Manager (B) is the default main unit

Page 155: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Operation Modes

Automatic– Payload Manager switching is controlled by the Subrack

Controller and will occur if any of the following alarm conditions exist on the active Payload Manager:•NE-Card_Out

•NE-Card_Fail

•NE-Card_Fault

•INT-NE-Comms_Fail

•INT-SYNC-Oscillator_Fail

•HP-LOM

Page 156: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Operation Modes

Manual– In the manual mode, the protection switch is initiated by the

user via the user interface– It is not possible to perform a manual switch while the mux

is in detached mode

Page 157: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Switching PrerequisitesThe standby Payload Manager is equipped and does not

have any of the Payload Manager switching conditions

If the Payload Manager switching is automatic, the standby Payload Manager must be the same variant as the active Payload Manager

If the Payload Manager switching is manual, no VC-3 connections must be present if switching from a mixed payload Payload Manager to a non-mixed payload Payload Manager

Page 158: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Multiplexer Section Protection 1/6 Multiplexer section protection (MSP) is a

mechanism that enables protection switching for all traffic on an STM-1 channel

A 1+1 protection architecture is supported, which uses a second STM-1 channel of the same type

This protection channel carries the same traffic as the original working channel

MSP controls which of these channels is used as the current channel

Page 159: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

MSP Slide 2/6

MSP monitors both STM-1 channels for failures

The protection status of the link is carried in the K1 and K2 bytes within the mux SOH of the protection channel

The MSP mechanisms on the local mux and the remote mux transmit protection status information using these bytes

This enables the mechanisms to determine which of the channels should be used,and to perform a protection switch as appropriate

Page 160: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

MSP Slide 3/6

MSP will switch to the protection channel under a number of alarm and non-alarm conditions

To revert to using the working channel, a manual switch must be used. Automatic reversion is not supported

The MSP mechanism can be locked to prevent the use of the protection section

It is also possible to force the mechanism to use either the working channel or the protection channel, and to test the working channel for errors

Page 161: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

MSP Slide 4/6

When MSP is established, the protection channel must have no connections present

There is a command that converts protected connections to unprotected connections on aggregates that are to be used for MSP

MSP cannot be established on an STM-1 tributary unit that has trib-to-trib connections

Page 162: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

MSP Slide 5/6

Once MSP is established, the protection channel is inaccessible to the user,but its configuration mirrors that of the working channel at all times

All references in events, logs and reports to MSP channels refer to the working channel, even after a protection switch

Page 163: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

MSP Slide 6/6

Protected drop connections are supported when a pair of STM-1 trib channels are used for MSP

Protected drop connections are not supported when both STM-1 aggregates are used for MSP

MSP supports both unidirectional and bi-directional modes of operation

Page 164: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

MSP Configurations

Page 165: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

ExampleMSP protection between two rings - Figure

The two rings are connected via an STM-1 tributary channel (Link X)

A second tributary channel that carries identical traffic (Link Y) provides 1+1 MSP protection

If Link X fails, an MSP switch occurs

The protected and unprotected traffic that was received at either end of the protected channel from Link X is received instead from Link Y

Page 166: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

MSP Ring

Page 167: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Unidirectional OperationIn unidirectional mode, traffic moves in both

directions, but the MSP mechanisms operate independently

The switching is evaluated at the receive end only

When a switch occurs, only the failed direction is switched from the working channel to the protection channel

Override values for the K1 and K2 bytes can be used for unidirectional operation

Page 168: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Unidirectional Operation

Page 169: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Bi-directional OperationDefault setting

Traffic moves in both directions– MSP mechanisms communicate and coordinate the switching of both

channels as a pair

When a switch occurs, the use of both channels is switched from the working channel to the protection channel

Switching of a single direction is not supported in this mode

Override values for the K1 and K2 bytes are not used during bi-directional operation

Page 170: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

PrecautionsFor bi-directional mode to be active, both local and

remote NEs must be configured to use bi-directional mode

If only one is configured in this way, MSP will not function correctly

Bi-directional operation is implemented in the same way for all MSP configurations

Bi-directional operation is the preferred method when interworking with Nortel Networks TN-16X and SONET equipment

Page 171: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Bi-directional Operation

Page 172: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Switching ConditionsTN-1X supports both manual and automatic MSP

switching

It is not possible to perform a manual switch while the mux is in detached mode

An automatic MSP switch is initiated via the K bytes under the following conditions:

– Equipment failure• Characterized by a Signal Failure (SF) condition, specifically card fail, card fault or card out alarms

• A ‘hard failure’ condition detected on the incoming STM-1 signal

• This is characterized by a signal failure (SF), specifically LOS, LOF, MS-AIS or MS-EXC alarms

Page 173: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

MSP Protocol

MSP operates using a bit-oriented protocol that is transmitted in the K bytes (K1 and K2) of the mux SOH of the protection channel

The K bytes indicate the protection status of both working and protection channels, and are used by the MSP mechanisms on the local and remote mux to determine any required switching actions

Page 174: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

K1 Byte

K1 byte indicates a request from the mux that generated it:– Bits 1 to 4 indicate the request type

•A condition associated with a failure. For example, Signal Degradation (SD) or Signal Failure (SF)

– This condition can be high or low priority (high by default)

•A state of the MSP function– For example, Wait To Restore (WTR), Do Not Revert (DNR), No Request (NR),

Reverse Request (RR)

•An external request– Lockout of Protection, Forced, Manual or Exercise.

– Bits 5 to 8 indicate the channel for which the request is issued•This indicates either the working or protection channel

Page 175: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

K2 Byte

The K2 byte carries status information:– Bits 1 to 4 indicates the channel number being bridged

•This is the number of the channel being carried simultaneously on the standby channel

– Bit 5 indicates whether 1+1 or 1:N architecture is in use.– Note: 1:N architecture is not supported by TN-1X.– Bits 6-8 are mostly reserved for future use, though there are

two values that are used currently– Note: There are a number of binary settings that are not

generated by the TN-1X – Other SDH equipment can generate these settings, however,

and the TN-1X will recognise these

Page 176: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

MSAP AlarmsMSP_Prot_Scheme_Mismatch

– This is raised after 50 ms if there is a difference between bit 5 in the sent and received K2 byte

– Indicates that the remote and local MSP mechanisms are configured for different MSP architectures

MSP_Invalid_K_Bytes– This is raised if there is an invalid channel number or an invalid request

indicated in either of the received K bytes for longer than 50 ms– In this instance, if the protection channel is in use, a signal fail condition

on the protection section occurs– As a result, an MSP protection switch from the protection channel to the

working channel occurs

Page 177: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

MSAP Alarms

MSP_Channel_Mismatch– This is raised if the K1 transmitted and K2 received channel

numbers are different for longer than 50 ms– In this instance, if the protection channel is in use, a signal

fail condition on the protection section occurs– As a result, an MSP protection switch from the protection

channel to the working channel occurs– This alarm will not be raised if there is a signal fail on the

protection section

Page 178: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Synchronization

Page 179: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Synchronization

SSP functionality of the TN-1X enables a user to control the way in which synchronization is sourced for the mux

TN-1X can synchronize to any external signal traceable to a Primary Reference Clock (PRC) (For

integration into an SDH network)

Page 180: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Synchronization SourcesThe local clock (155,520 kHz) used for synchronizing the

TN-1X provided by the main (active) Payload Manager

The synchronizing clock can be slaved from any of the following sources:

– Tributary Synchronization (TS) backplane signal• Either of the incoming aggregate STM-1 or STM-4 signals, A or B• Any STM-1 tributary signal• Any 2048 kbit/s PDH tributary input on a 2M or 34M (16x2) trib unit• Any 34368 kbit/s PDH tributary input• Any 44736 kbit/s PDH tributary input

– External 2.048 MHz interface (N.A on the TN-1X/S)• Connection is via the Star Card module

– Internal 16.384 MHz master oscillator (with an accuracy of 4.6 ppm) on the Payload Manager

Page 181: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Note

1. If a STM-4 aggregate signal is selected, the signal is derived from the AUG (STM-1) signal being dropped, which is synchronized to the incoming STM-4 signal.

2. Either section of an MSP protection pair can be used for synchronization purposes operating independently

3. Recommended that synchronization is taken from non-PDH sources in preference to PDH sources.

4. Provision for adding unused or unconfigured tributary/aggregate port to the SSH

User responsibility to ensure valid and configured synchronization sources in the hierarchy

Page 182: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Synchronization – Block Diagram

Page 183: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Precautions

1. Loss of active synchronization source can cause loss of all traffic for approximately 200 ms

2. Switch to an alternative synchronization source before replacing a unit or re-provisioning the multiplexer

3. Systems with subracks using STM-4 aggregates should not be run with the synchronization independently set to ‘Internal

They should be synchronized via the line back to a common source

4. Do not apply a ‘Local’ loopback for a tributary selected as the active synchronization source

– Multiplexer Synchronization Loss

Page 184: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Synchronization Source HierarchyBasis for synchronization source protection (SSP)

Formed from four user identified sources

The first source has the highest priority for the user, with the fourth having the lowest

A standby signal is also available, which is always the internal oscillator on the Payload Manager

Only sources listed within this hierarchy are considered for use.

The selected synchronization source is used until the source fails, or a decision to change sources is taken

Page 185: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Typical Synchronization Source Hierarchy

Page 186: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Synchronization Settings Slide 1/4

Use of SSH is controlled by reversion and force settings

Reversion On/Off– Reversion controls the selection of a source if a source fails:– Reversion On

• If a source fails, or a decision to change sources is made,both higher and lower priority sources can be selected for use

• The higher priority source is only considered if that source has recovered

– Reversion Off• When a source fails, or a decision to change sources is made, only sources of a lower priority can be selected for use

• If a source fails, a non-reversion flag is set on this source to prevent its re-selection at a later stage

• This flag must be cleared manually by the user before that source is available for selection again

Page 187: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Synchronization Settings Slide 2/4

Reversion settings are not used when a source is in forced use

Force On/Off– Force On/Off allows the user to manually select the source to be used.– Force On– Using this setting, one of the sources in the hierarchy, including one that

is currently invalid, is selected for use– The TN-1X is not able to change to a different source while in this

mode– If a source becomes invalid while in this mode, or if an invalid source is

selected for use, the TN-1X begins a ‘holdover period’– During this period, the TN-1X reproduces the absent synchronization

signal internally

Page 188: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Synchronization Settings Slide 3/4

– The hold over period is resolved in the following ways:•If the source becomes stable again during this time, the source is used as if had not been interrupted.

– If the holdover period ends (typically after five seconds) without the source becoming available, the standby source (the internal oscillator) is used.

Note 1: When a source is in forced use, reversion settings are ignored.

Note 2: During holdover, a QL =15 is transmitted for Payload Manager variant 25U PJ00 750 GXF and QL = 11 is transmitted for Payload

Page 189: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Synchronization Settings Slide 4/4

– Force Off•Using this setting cancels any existing forced source usage, and source selection comes under the control of reversion setting

•Existing non-reversion flags are unaffected when this mode is selected

•Note: The circumstances under which a switch in synchronization occurs depends on the implementation mechanism used

Page 190: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Synchronization Switching Mechanisms

The circumstances under which a switch in synchronization occurs depends on the implementation mechanism used

There are two mechanisms:– A Synchronization Status Messaging (SSM) mechanism

•This uses transmitted quality levels to determine the best source

– A non-SSM system•This is similar to the synchronization mechanism used

Page 191: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Synchronization Status MessagingSynchronization status messaging (SSM) is based on the

transmission of synchronization quality messages between potential synchronization sources

Mechanism to evaluate best synchronization source

Used under two circumstances:– The best source will always be selected for use, subject to software

settings restrictions – If a better quality source is identified (and no source is in forced use),

the current reversion settings will dictate whether this source can be selected for use

If a source fails, the best of the remaining sources will be selected for use, subject to software settings restrictions

Page 192: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

SSM contd.If no source is available, the standby source is selected

Note: SSM mechanism can only select sources that are listed in the synchronization source hierarchy.

The Quality Level (QL) of a source is transmitted in the SOH of all STM-N signals as the S1 byte

QL has a possible range of 1 to 15, with 1 as the highest priority

In practice, a subset of these values is used by the TN-1X - Table

Page 193: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

SSM contd.QL transmitted on all STM-N ports, except for the STM-

N port from which it receives its synchronization source

The QL transmitted on this port is 15, which indicates to the source of the synchronization that the TN-1X should not be used for synchronization

This action prevents closed synchronization loops, where two multiplexers each attempt to synchronize from the synchronization signal of the other

Page 194: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

SSM – QL Settings

Page 195: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

SSM - STM-N ring [Single External Source]

Page 196: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

STM-N Ring [Single Ext Clock]

Figure - synchronization is derived from the Primary Reference Clock (PRC)

PRC is the external (EXT) source with a QL=2 at TN-1X(A)

The other TN-1Xs in the ring have their hierarchy set– Derive synchronization from the counter-clockwise TN-1X

in preference to the clockwise TN-1X (that is, on their B ports in preference to A)

Page 197: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

STM-N Ring [Single Ext Clock]The QL = 2 clock is transmitted on all STM-N ports for

the TN-1X– with the exception of the return port of the synchronization source, on

which QL = 15 (“do not use for synchronization”) is transmitted– This prevents closed synchronization loops– Note: Before the PRC signal was introduced, all four TN-1Xs would

have used the default QL setting of 11, which indicates the use of an internal oscillator (INT)

If a fiber break occurs, the TN-1Xs after the break will send a QL = 11 in the counter-clockwise direction

The last TN-1X in the ring will switch to the higher quality clock (QL = 2) being sent from the TN-1X with the PRC in the clockwise direction

Page 198: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

STM-N Ring [Single Ext Clock]

The QL = 2 clock is then available from its clockwise port, so moving in a clockwise direction around the ring each TN-1X will switch to the PRC QL = 2 clock

The ring will then be synchronized to the highest available quality clock

Page 199: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Simple Ring - 2 Reference Sources

Page 200: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

STM-N Ring [2 Ref Clocks] Slide 1/3

Synchronization is derived from the Primary Reference Clock (PRC)

The PRC is the external (EXT) source with a QL=2 at TN-1X(A)

There is also a Secondary Reference Source (SRC) which is also external and has a QL = 3 at TN-1X(B)

The other TN-1Xs in the ring have their hierarchy set to derive synchronization from the counter-clockwise TN-1X in preference to the clockwise TN-1X (B ports in preference to A)

Page 201: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

STM-N Ring [2 Ref Clocks] Slide 2/3

The QL = 2 clock is transmitted on all STM-N ports for the TN-1X,

– With the exception of the return port of the synchronization source, on which QL = 15 (‘do not use for synchronization) is transmitted

– This prevents closed synchronization loops.

In the event of a failure of the primary reference source the TN-1X with the primary source switches to an internal clock with a QL = 11

This will propagate around the network until it reaches the TN-1X with the secondary reference source which will switch to the SRC and transmit a QL = 3

Page 202: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

STM-N Ring [2 Ref Clocks] Slide 3/3

This will then propagate around the network in a clockwise direction with the other TN-1Xs synchronizing to the secondary reference source

Note: The hierarchy on the TN-1Xs with the external sources are set so that one synchronizes in a clockwise direction around the ring and the other in a counter-clockwise direction

This is to prevent synchronization timing loops

Page 203: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Chain Network - 2 Reference Sources

Page 204: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Chain Network - 2 Reference Sources

For a chain network, there must be two reference sources, one at each end of the network

In normal operation, the chain will derive its synchronization from the primary source

In the event of failure of the PRS, the chain will derive its synchronization from the SRS

In the event of a loss of a link, the chain will divide into two synchronization islands:

– One using the PRS– Other the SRS

Page 205: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Non-SSM Synchronization Sourcing

When the SSM system is not in use, changes to the selected synchronization source only occur when a source fails, or if a manual change is performed

With SSM off, the TN-1X can operate in one of three modes dependent on the reversion and force settings

1. Manual-only selection mode (MANUAL)– In this mode automatic selection of the synchronization source is

disabled– The synchronization source is selected manually by the user– The user can select any available synchronization source, no validity

check is provided on the selected source– This mode is selected by setting force on and SSM off (the reversion

setting has no effect)

Page 206: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Non-SSM Synchronization Sourcing

2. Automatic Switching with Manual Reversion Mode (FALLBACK)

– Mux switches to the next highest priority valid source if the selected synchronization source fails

– If a higher priority synchronization source recovers, it is not automatically selected as the synchronization source

– To switch back to the higher priority source, the user must perform a manual reversion

– This mode is selected by setting reversion off, force off and SSM off

Page 207: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Non-SSM Synchronization Sourcing

3. Automatic switching with automatic reversion mode (REVERSION)

– In this mode the multiplexer switches to the highest priority valid source available

– If a higher priority synchronization source recovers, the source is automatically selected as the synchronization source

– This mode is selected by setting reversion on, force off and SSM off

Page 208: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Synchronization Alarms Slide 1/2

There are five alarms associated with the synchronization facility, namely:

1. SYNC-SETG_Fail Indicates failure of the currently selected source

2. SYNC-Src_Not_Primary Indicates that the primary synchronization source is not currently selected.

3. INT-SYNC-Trib_Line_Fail Indicates that the status of the Trib Sync line is unreliable (that is, activity

is detected when not expected or no activity when expected)– Alarm detected during a synchronization source switch and indicates that

either the unit that was providing the source has not switched it off– or the unit providing the new synchronization source has not switched it on

Page 209: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Synchronization Alarms Slide 2/2

4. INT-SYNC-Oscillator_Fail - indicates that the internal oscillator has failed

5. SYNC-Ext_ Sync_LOS - indicates that the external synchronization source has failed

Page 219: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Menu Structure Slide 2/3

Menu items which have subordinate menu levels are suffixed with the ‘/’character

Menu items without a suffix are commands in the current menu

Menu navigation is achieved by typing the desired menu item name, or a shorthand version of this name

UI is line oriented, and as such it requires a carriage return after each user request

The user interface is not case sensitive

Page 220: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Menu Structure Slide

3/3

When the menu level changes, the new level of the menu structure is displayed.

Command parameters to be entered by the user– Error Messages– Help text

Error message displayed in case of unrecognized the user input– Menu is displayed again

Page 221: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Menu Navigation

Two special characters can be used to move around the menu system:

1. The asterisk character (*)– Moves the user up one level in the command hierarchy

2. The tilde character (~)– Moves the user to the top (root) of the command hierarchy

Page 222: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Command Shortcuts Slide 1/2

There are three methods of entering commands:

1. The user can type the entire command, such as ‘config’

2. The user can type three or more letters to uniquely identify the command

– First letters of the command name

3. The user can type a shortcut for the command– Displayed in upper case in the command name– If numbers are included in the shortcut, the entire shortcut is shown

in square brackets after the command name

Page 223: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Command Shortcuts Slide 2/2

Multiple menu level navigation possible with a single entry– Achieved by typing a sequence of space-separated

commands– Example:–c e i v

This is the equivalent of typing:config external_alarm input view

Page 224: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Parameter Notation Slide 1/2

Parameter names are shown inside angle brackets for most purposes

– Example <SDH_port>

Brackets excluded if a parameter is listed in the parameter column of a

command table

Text parameters are shown inside single quote marks indicating text that must be typed literally

Alternative parameters are indicated by a pipe (|) character– Example SDH_port | PDH_port

Page 225: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Parameter Notation Slide 2/2

Optional parameters are shown inside square brackets([])– Example – SDH_AU4 HP_path_label [CRC]– Indicates that the <SDH_AU4> parameter and

<HP_path_label> parameter are both required, but that the <CRC> parameter is optional

Loopbacks

Page 249: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

2 Mbps Trib Unit

Remote Loopbacks–Trib input data (after the line interface but prior to HDB3 decoding) is routed to the tributary output (after the HDB3 coding but prior to the line interface)

–The tributary input data is still processed by the rest of the unit unless the ‘Local’ loopback is enabled

–Note: Selecting the ‘Remote’ loopback when the selected tributary has no input will cause a ‘PPI-TF’ alarm to be raised

Page 250: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

2 Mbps Trib Unit

Local Loopbacks– Trib output data (after the HDB3 coding but prior to the line

interface) is routed to the tributary input (after the line interface but prior to HDB3 decoding)

– The tributary output data is still applied to the line interface and output from the unit unless the ‘Remote’ loopback is enabled

– Note 1: •For each trib, only the ‘Remote’ or the ‘Local’ loopbacks can operate at a given time

•If both loopbacks are selected for a given trib the ‘Local’ loopback will not operate

Page 251: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

2 Mbps Trib Unit - Precautions•Note 2:

– Do not apply a ‘Local’ loopback for a trib selected as the active synchronization source, otherwise the multiplexer will lose synchronization

•Note 3:– When a local loopback is active on a 2 Mbit/s port, AIS is not detected on

this port

Page 252: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

34/45 Mbps Trib Unit

Remote Loopbacks– When enabled, tributary input data (after the line interface

but prior to line decoding) is routed to the tributary output (after the line coding but prior to the line interface)

– The tributary input data is still processed by the rest of the unit unless the ‘Local’ loopback is enabled

Page 253: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

34/45 Mbps Trib Unit

Local loopbacks– When enabled, tributary output data (after the line coding

but prior to the line interface) is routed to the tributary input (after the line interface but prior to line decoding)

– The tributary output data is still applied to the line interface and output from the unit unless the ‘Remote’ loopback is enabled.

– Precautions

Page 254: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

STM-1 Agg Unit/STM-1 Trib UnitRemote loopbacks

– When enabled, the STM-1 input data (after the STM-1 interface and prior to the SOH termination) is routed to the STM-1 output (after the SOH insertion and prior to the STM-1 interface)

– The normal STM-1 output is disabled– This loopbacks the data from the receiver to the transmitter– The STM-1 input data from the receiver is still processed by the rest of

the unit.

Local loopbacks– When enabled, the STM-1 output data (after the SOH insertion and

prior to the STM-1 interface) is routed to the STM-1 input (after the STM-1 interface and prior to the SOH termination)

– The normal input from the receiver being disabled– This loopbacks the STM-1 data towards the Payload Manager

Page 255: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Loopback Alarm

An ‘NE-Loopback_Alarm’ is raised whenever one or more loopbacks are enabled

The alarm report will not indicate which port the loopback is on

Use the loopback view command to identify active loopbacks

This alarm clears once all loopbacks have been disabled

Page 256: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

EOW Operation Slide 1/4

The EOW system uses a calling feature which uses the format ‘n n #’, where :

– n is a digit between 0 and 9 and # is the dial termination character– The two ‘n’ digits provide a unique two-digit site-identification code

which is set via a DIL switch on the EOW Unit– This code is used to match against the incoming DTMF digit sequence

Selective calling of an individual site is made by :– Taking the handset off-hook– Waiting for a dialing tone– Dialing the site-identification code– Dial termination character (that is, ‘n n #’)

Page 257: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

EOW Operation Slide 2/4

Group dialing and broadcast call feature:– Employs use of the wild card character ‘*’ as follows:

•Entering the sequence ‘* n #’ rings all sites ending with the ‘n’ digit (group call)

•Entering the sequence ‘n * #’ rings all sites starting with the ‘n’ digit (group call)

•Entering the sequence ‘* * #’ which will make all nodes ring (broadcast call)

Page 258: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

EOW Operation Slide 3/4

The EOW Unit contains a green LED and a buzzer which indicates the status of the EOW system at that node as follows:– LED and buzzer OFF - EOW channel not in use– LED ON, buzzer OFF - EOW channel in use– LED flashing, buzzer sounding - incoming EOW call– Note 1: There is no time-out for the LED and buzzer, they

remain active until the call is answered (handset taken off-hook) or the caller’s handset is replaced

– Note 2: The LED at the node initiating an EOW call is not illuminated, this indicates that it is the node which configured the system

Page 259: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

EOW Operation Slide 4/4

If a path section is invalid (out of alignment), the communication path is disconnected

If working in a protected configuration (protected terminal or ring) and the communication path is broken, EOW communication is still possible to all multiplexers

– May be necessary to re-initialize the call (that is, there is no automatic switching to protect to a call)

– Note: If the communication path is re-established after a call has been re-initiated, it is possible that a ‘howl’ will be heard in the handset earpiece

– If this occurs, the call must be re-initiated

Page 260: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Performance Monitoring

Provides two types of parity error counts–Bit Counts

•Sum of all BIP errors within a count period – 1 sec

–Block Counts•Sum of all error detected BIP blocks within a count period – 1 sec

Page 261: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Performance Counts

Errored Seconds (ES)– An ES is a second in which at least one anomaly

(parity error/code violation) or performance defect (alarm) occurs

– The total number of errors is not recorded

Severely Errored Seconds (SES)– An SES is a second in which either a threshold level

of anomalies is exceeded or a performance defect occurs

– The actual number of errors within this second is not recorded

Page 262: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Performance Counts

Background Block Errors (BBE)– A BBE is a block (not included in a SES) in which

there is an anomaly

Unavailable Seconds (UAS)– A UAS is any second which forms part of a period of

unavailable time (UAT)– A period of UAT starts with the onset of ten

consecutive SESs (included in UAT)– The period of UAT ends when there are ten

consecutive non-SES seconds (not included in the UAT).

Page 263: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Performance Counts

Out Of Frame (OOF) seconds– A OOF second is recorded when one or more out-of-frame

condition is detected within the RSOH

Pointer Justification Events (PJE)– A PJE is recorded when a positive or negative movement of a

payload pointer within an STM-1 frame is detected– The bytes that point to the payload will vary depending on

thepayload– The total number of negative PJEs is also recorded– The difference between these two counts identifies the

number of positive pointer movements

Page 264: ERICSSON TN DETAILS

Performance Counts

Assessed Seconds (AS)–The AS is the number of seconds during which the–performance monitoring statistics were accumulated

(equivalent to the length of the performance monitoring period)

–Performance monitoring period is terminated on reboot
