Introduction
The TJ1500 is a Synchronous Multiplexer at STM-16 line bit-rate and is software
configurable to work as Terminal Multiplexer and Multiple Add-Drop Multiplexer.
The TJ1500 provides SDH and PDH interfaces at E1, E3/DS3, STM-1, STM-4
and STM-16 rates and also provides Ethernet interfaces at 10/100BaseT,
10/100Base-Fx and GE ports. The TJ1500 supports termination of one or more
STM-16 ring(s) on the aggregate interfaces and multiple STM-1/4 rings at the
tributary ports. The STM-16 aggregate ring consists of TDM portion (drop/add of
E1, E3/DS3, STM-1/4 tributaries), point-to-point VCAT channels, Point-tomultipoint-VCAT channels and Multipoint to multipoint-VCAT channels. The
services are all software provisioned using the same line and interface cards as per
ITU-T recommendations.
Product Family
TJ1500 is part of the TJ100 family. The TJ100 products provide the functionality
of a high end SDH ADM (Add-Drop Multiplexer) with full drop capability. The
products support a diverse range of data and circuit interfaces. Digital crossconnect at fine granularity and data switching functionality along with the modular
interface cards provide carriers a very flexible and most optimized way of
configuring the product in their networks. The product can be configured in Ring
and Linear architectures. The product can also be configured with equipment
redundancy for all or for a selected few among the modules. These make the
product ideal for backbone and high-speed links. Support for data allows carriers to
combine the functionality of data switching with transport.
Software Intelligence built into the products allow for intuitive element
management using the Tejas Element Management System, which supports the full
suite of FCAPS (Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance and Security)
management. TejNMS (Tejas Network Management solution) provides extremely
easy provisioning of circuits across the network using a point and click user
interface. The management system integrates the management of other Tejas
Products as well, allowing easy upgradation and expansion of networks. Standard
open interfaces also allow the system to be managed by third party management
systems.
To summarize, Tejas Network Management solution and the TJ100 products
provide the following features:

Easy network manageability

E1/DS1/E3/DS3/STM-1o/STM-1e and Ethernet tributary cards. As an
ADM/MADM, the TJ1500 is capable of adding/dropping upto one STM-16
worth of traffic. The ADM/MADM configuration is used whenever the TJ1500 is
a part of a ring or linear chain.
Protection

Equipment Protection Switching

Equipment protection switching accommodates various hardware failures while the

transport facility is still functional. In an event of hardware failure, the hardware is
substituted without affecting the traffic.

Cross-connect Card Redundancy

The TJ1500 facilitates cross-connect redundancy by having cross-connect cards in

Slots 4 and 5. Software on each cross-connect card decides which cross-connect
card is the active controller. The active cross-connect card takes control of all the
processor bus signals on the backplane. The processor bus is shared across all the
tributary cards.
All the traffic related devices on each cross-connect card is always under the
control of the active cross-connect card.

Power Supply Redundancy

The PSM/PSM2 has two power supplies to facilitate power supply redundancy.
The output of both the power supplies are shorted together on the backplane and
then in turn given to all the cards.

1+1 MSP

1+1 MSP is available only in the TMUX configuration. Protection switching is

software controlled and the cross-connect card provides all the alarms for the
switching to be initiated. Both revertive and non-revertive modes of MSP are
supported and the Wait-to-Restore (WTR) time is configurable.
Path level protection is not available in the 1+1 MSP scenario.

MS-SPRing Protection

The TJ1500 supports two-fiber MS-SPRing where two fibers share service and
protection equally.
Under normal working conditions, the protect path carries extra traffic. In case of
any fault in the work path, the extra traffic is interrupted and the normal traffic is
switched in the protect path.
TJ1500 network element in a MS-SPRing can terminate traffic it receives from
either side of the ring and is suited for distributed node-to-node traffic applications,
such as interoffice networks and access networks.

Sub-Network Connection Protection (SNCP)

Sub Network Protection Path is a path protection switching and is supported for
the VC-4, VC-3 and the VC-12 container levels. The receiving network element
monitors the virtual containers (VCs) from different paths. The VC with better
performance is selected for de-mapping. The SNCP protection is initiated in the
occurrence of Signal Fail (SF) or Signal Degradation (SD) condition.
The TJ1500 supports both Sub-network Connection Protection with Inherent
Monitoring (SNC/I) and Sub-network Connection Protection with non-Intrusive
Monitoring. (SNC/N).
In SNC/I, the network element uses the inherent information in the network such
as Connection status and performance data to monitor the connection. Faults in
the service layer are detected using the SNC/I mode. In SNC/N mode, the
diagnostic data in the received traffic is used to monitor the connection. Faults in
connectivity can be detected using the SNC/N mode.

Tributary Protection Switching

Tributary protection switching is available in the ADM configuration. This is a VC12/VC-3 path level protection scheme that uses the broadcast feature of the crossconnect fabric. Protection switching is software controlled and the XCC provides
all the alarms for the switching to be initiated.

Timing Reference Switching

A timing reference for the equipment is selected from a pool of available

references. When a failure occurs on the selected reference (Alarms, Frequency
Out-of-Range), the timing reference is switched to the next available reference
after going to holdover momentarily. Timing reference switching is software
controlled and the cross-connect card provides all the alarms for the switching
to be initiated.

LCAS Protection

Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme or LCAS is a method to dynamically

increase or decrease the bandwidth of virtual concatenated containers. The
TJ1500 supports LCAS as per the G.7042 specifications.
LCAS is implemented using the overhead byte reserved for transmitting
control information in a VCG to dynamically adjust the number of VCs in the
VCG as per the bandwidth availability. Thus, the TJ1500 can dynamically
adjust the bandwidth according to the service bandwidth availability in a hitless
manner.
LCAS in the TJ1500 network element also provides a protection mechanism
for Ethernet circuits without physically consuming the bandwidth by
temporarily removing failed members from the VCG. A failed member will
automatically cause a decrease of the bandwidth and after repair the bandwidth
will increase again without any hits. Together with diverse routing, LCAS
protection provides uninterrupted data traffic without requiring excess
protection bandwidth allocation
The TJ1500 recognizes the LCAS capability of the link partners when the
network elements in a link use Virtual Concatenation (VCAT) for connection.
The TJ1500 sends LCAS control-messages on a VC bundle to the link partner.
If the transmitting network element does not receive any LCAS control
message from the partner, it assumes that LCAS is disabled in the link partner.
Synchronization and Timing
The TJ1500 uses synchronization sources as per ITU-T G.703 standard. The
TJ1500 uses two clock sources for synchronization apart from the internal Stratum3 clock source (Oscillator)Ports and BITS.
Ports provide reference clock at E1/E3/STM-1/4/16 rates. BITS-1 is an external
source which provides 2 MHz reference clock. BITS-2 is also an external source
and provides 2 Mbps reference clock.
The priority of the clock source is user configurable.
Network Management and Management Connectivity
The network of the TJ1500 can be managed using the Tejas Network Management
System (TejNMS). The TejNMS performs centralized operation, administration,
and management (OAM) of the network comprising the TJ1500. The protocols of
the TejNMS comply with the ITU-T and ISO standards.
The management connectivity is facilitated using the RJ45 connector provided on
the MFC1 card.

Tejas Networks Ltd.

22

Power and Environment Monitoring

The TJ1500 has an Alarm input interface on the MFC card to detect unfavorable
environment conditions such as Power or air conditioning failure, equipment room
door open etc. The alarms are classified as critical, major, minor, deferred alarms or
warning depending on severity.
TJ1500 supports up to seven environmental alarms. The alarms can be
configured and are displayed on the craft terminal user interface.
Performance Monitoring
The performance monitoring is based as per ITU-T G.826/G.828 standards. The
performance monitoring at each level in the maintenance hierarchy is based on BitInterleaved-Parity (BIP) checks calculated on frame by frame basis for SDH mode.
The BIP checks are inserted in the Overheads associated with the Section and Path.
Errors detected in the Higher Order (HO) path and Lower Order (LO) Path BIP
cause the respective Remote Error Indication (REI) signals to be sent upstream.
The thresholds for the performance monitoring parameters are user configurable
using the software.
The performance parameters are calculated for current interval. 15-minute intervals
and for the previous day.

Chapter

Applications
This chapter explains the networking applications of the TJ1500.
Networking Applications
The TJ1500 can be used in the following network topologies:

STM-16/4 Rings

The TJ1500 can be used in an end-to-end network configuration from the

customer premises to the optical core. STM-16/4 network is built using TJ1500
providing low drop requirements at a couple of locations.
Figure 3: STM-16/4 Ring Configuration

Tejas Networks Ltd.

24

STM-1/4/16 Subtended Rings

The STM-1/4/16 tributary modules of TJ1500 can act as SDH network element
completing the Subtended Rings, or Line Terminating Equipment (LTE)
performing Line, Span or Ring Switching as well as DCC pass. The modules are
able to insert/drop traffic through the switching matrix to any of the other
tributary/aggregate cards. It is possible to connect a mix of STM-1/4/16 rings
through the TJ1500 network element. Figure 4 shows the pictorial representation
of the subtended ring structure using TJ1500.
Figure 4: STM-16/4/1 Subtended Ring Structure

Ethernet Network Application

The TJ1500 can be used in the following Ethernet applications:

Ethernet Private Line application

Ethernet Private Line (EPL) puts two service access points as a basic unit to realize
the point-to-point transparent transmission of Ethernet MAC frame. Applying
EPL, different customers neednt share SDH bandwidth. Therefore, EPL can
strictly ensure bandwidth and user isolation without any need to adopt a Quality of
Service (QoS) mechanism, security mechanism or MAC address learning. The
Figure 5 shows the EPL implementation using TJ1500.

Tejas Networks Ltd.

25

Figure 5: EPL implementation

In Figure 5, User-A1 at Station A connects to User-B1 at Station B and UserC1 at Station C using LAN1 and LAN 2 respectively. Similarly Users A2 and
User A3 at Station A have separate LAN network to connect to Users C2 and
D1 respectively. This way each user has a separate line dedicated for
communication with different users.

Tejas Networks Ltd.

26

Ethernet Virtual Private Line application

In Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) application, different users share the same
SDH bandwidth for communication. A VLAN ID or other mechanism to
distinguish data from different users is provided. If different users require different
service quality, the corresponding QoS mechanism needs to be provided. Hence
here the available bandwidth is used efficiently. Figure 6 shows the implementation
of the EVPL using TJ1500.
Figure 6: EVPL Implementation

In Figure 7, VLAN Trunk 2 is provisioned between Users A1, A2 at Station A and

between Users C1, C2 at Station C. Similarly VLAN Trunk 3 is provisioned
between Users A2, A3 and Users D1 and D2 at Station D. A separate VLAN ID is
provided at the ingress of ports assigned to the User A1, A2 and A3. When a
packet arrives from User A1, based on the VLAN ID of the port from where the
packet is received, the packet is broadcast to VLAN Trunks 2 and 3. Based on the
destination address in the packet, the packet reaches its destination that is either
User C2 or User D1.

Tejas Networks Ltd.

27

Ethernet Private Local Area Network application

EPLAN (Ethernet Private Local Area Network) has at least two service access
points. Different users need not share the same SDH bandwidth, so EPLAN
possesses strict bandwidth guarantee and user isolation without a need to adopt any
QoS mechanism and security mechanism. Because it has multi-node, it needs to
implement data forwarding and MAC address learning. The Figure 7 shows
implementation of EPLAN using TJ1500.
Figure 7: EPLAN Implementation

In Figure 7, a separate LAN network is provisioned for each individual User (A1,
A2 and A3) at Station A. The User A1 communicates to User C1 at Station C and
User B1 at Station B through LAN 1. Similarly, User A2 communicates with users
C2 at Station C and D1 at Station D through LAN 2. Thus each user gets a
separate bandwidth for communication.

Ethernet Virtual Private Local Area Network application

In Ethernet Virtual Private Local Area Network (EVPLAN) application, different

users share the SDH bandwidth. A mechanism such as VLAN tag distinguishes
data from different users. QoS mechanism ensures different service quality for
different users.
Figure 8 shows the implementation of the EVPLAN using the TJ1500 network
element.

Tejas Networks Ltd.

28

Figure 8: EVPLAN Implementation

In Figure 8, the users at Station A communicate with all the users in Station B, C
and D through the same VLAN trunk. The packet is routed to the correct
destination based on the VLAN tag and the destination address. In case of conflict
for bandwidth, the packets are routed based on QoS.

Chapter

Tejas Network Element Software

The TJ1500 network element is initialized to operation using the Tejas Network
Element Software (TejNES). The TejNES presents the current situation of the
network element. The TejNES is a standalone application that runs on a Windows
or Linux platform. The system running the TejNES is connected to the network
element using the craft interface.
The TejNES is a standalone Web User Interface (WUI) application and the user
has to log on to the application for it to function. The TejNES can support up to
eight simultaneous logins to the network element. The TejNES application can be
accessed using a LAN cable.
NES Functions
The TJ1500 node is managed through the embedded NES (Network Element
Software). The main capabilities of TejNES are as follows:

Network Element Access: The embedded SNMP agent in the TejNES

communicates with the network element based on the IP address of the
network element. In case the network element does not have an IP
address, the IP address can be assigned using the serial port provided on
the MFC card of the network element.

Multi-user login - supports up to ten simultaneous login sessions on a

single network element.

Inventory - facilitates viewing the details and status of the inventory

present on the network element.

Port configuration - allows the configuration of STM, PDH, and

Ethernet and VCG ports.

Cross-connect configuration - facilitates the configuration of add, drop,

add-drop and pass-through cross-connects.

Auto-discovery - automatically discovers and stores the IP addresses of

the neighboring network element.

DCN configuration - allows the configuration of Embedded

Communication Channel (ECC) and management channel.

Tejas Networks Ltd.

30

Protection configuration - facilitates configuring MSP, MS-SP and

SNCP protection.

Alarm notification - displays all the alarms raised on the network

element in order of severity. The TejNES also presents the history of all
the events that occurred and stored on the network element.

Alarm filtering - allows setting filters for alarms from specified entities.

Performance data - displays the performance data for current interval,

15-minute interval and the performance data of previous day.

Configuration backup/restore - allows the current network element

configuration to be backed-up on a remote or local system. Also allows a
backed up configuration and factory default settings to be restored on the
network element.

Software upgrade/download - allows upgrading/downgrading of the

NES.

Loopback testing - allows creation of terminal and facility loopbacks on

SDH, PDH, Ethernet and VCG interfaces for testing purposes.

Security - restricts access based on user profiles.

Layer 2 feature configurations - facilitates configuring bridges (MSTP,

CSTP and RSTP), VLAN, LAG and Diffserv and QoS policies.

Network Management System

Tejas Network Management System (TejNMS) provides integrated management of
network elements across an intelligent optical network. The TejNMS collects and
represents data from geographically dispersed network elements on to a console in
a centralized Network Operations Center (NOC). Service providers with NOC
operations can use the network-wide view presented by TejNMS to configure and
set-up Tejas network elements with ease.
The NMS GUI forms a single Network Operation Center (NOC). The service
providers with NOC operations can use state-of-art graphical interface to configure
and set up the Tejas network elements. NMS design is based on the Open Systems
Interconnect (OSI), FCAPS model of Management Functional Areas (MFAs).
Characteristics of NMS
NMS is based on Client-Server model, enabling centralized monitoring and control
of the Tejas optical products.
The NMS server monitors the managed Element Management System (EMS). It
monitors the EMS level alarms and the node level alarms of the nodes managed by
the EMS.

The NMS monitors and manages the EMS. The features of the NMS are broadly
classified into the following three main categories:

Performance Management

Performance management reports and evaluates the transmission performance

parameters of the Tejas network elements. Its main responsibility is to collect
performance data of the network element in the communication network for
monitoring and revising the status and performance of the network or the network
element. Performance data is visible only for the circuits displayed in the TejNMS.
The TejNMS allows the configuring the type of performance data to be collected
from each network element and stores the collected data for at least 30 days.

Fault Management

Fault management monitors all the TJ1500 network elements and its network path
in real-time and displays the count of each type of alarm raised (critical, major,
minor, deferred and warning) on the Graphical User Interface (GUI). An alarm
counter/banner displays the alarm count. The alarm counter/banner refreshes
automatically and is color coded based on severity of the alarm. The color code is
given below:
Red Critical, Major

Tejas Networks Ltd.

33

Orange Minor
Yellow - Deferred, Warning
The TejNMS displays alarms raised on each individual network element and also
the total alarms raised on the entire network in real-time. The probable cause of
the alarms is also displayed for each alarm. Alarms for upto 30 days can be stored
and viewed. The alarms can also be exported which helps the alarms to be stored
for a longer duration. The TejNMS also recovers all the active alarms on reestablishment of connection when there is any communication loss with the
network elements.
The Network operators can add remarks and acknowledge the alarms. The
TejNMS also indicates if the regional NOC (EMS) has acknowledged the alarm.
Besides, they can also sort the alarms based on user-defined criteria and generate
reports on alarms for the entire network, cards, circuits, and so on.

Configuration Management

Configuration management in TejNMS allows a user to manage the changes made

to the configuration of the network devices. Managing configuration changes
includes collection, backup, archive, viewing and comparison. The user can
configure the network element and roll back to previous configuration in case of
any trouble.
Besides managing configuration, the configuration management also collects
information on the device hardware and software inventory.

Security Management

Security management ensures safety against unauthorized persons from accessing

network resource and equipment illegally. Security management relates to all
management functions namely, management of user grade and authority, access
control, data security and operation log management.
The TejNMS defines multiple users with different privileges for accessing the
network. The following are the user privileges:

USER (read-only, only viewing)

OPERATOR (all day-to-day provisioning, fault monitoring, configuration

and performance monitoring)

OPERTOR2 (configuring network element name, router ID, Ethernet IP

and all other day-to-day provisioning, fault monitoring, configuration and
performance monitoring)

ADMIN (user account management, administration of subnetworks/topology)

The security management provides the password administration and audit trail
features.

Tejas Networks Ltd.

34

In the password administration feature, the administrator/user can set the user
login and password. Only the ADMIN account(s) can know the EMS passwords.
For OPERATOR or OPERATOR2 privileges, the user will not be prompted for
the EMS user/password information. These user accounts are different for each
EMS. The ADMIN configures these accounts once while administering the
EMS/Sub-Network, so that each operation does not request for the authentication
again and again.
The Audit Trail feature helps to maintain a detailed audit trail of all the operations
performed along with the user name, operation status (success/failure) and time.
Management Connectivity
The TJ1500 has multiple options for management connectivity. Some of the
options are Local craft terminal (LAN Interface), remote management via in-band
communication or dial-up. All the physical management connectivity is terminated
on MFC1 card, which has necessary circuit for the physical interface.

Networking based on LAN

TJ1500 is locally managed using a 10/100BaseT Ethernet interface located on the
front panel. It has a RJ-45 connector and implements a NIC port configuration.
Auto-negotiation is enabled.
The local craft station is a PC with a standard web browser. The TJ1500
implements the HTTP protocol to communicate with the browser. All node
configurations and maintenance operations can be performed using a simple
graphical user interface.
