Expansion Manual (EMN) Upgrading an ONN-X80 with the Colorless Direction-
less add/drop functionality
4 Upgrading an ONN-X80 with the Colorless

Directionless add/drop functionality
This chapter contains the necessary information to upgrade an ONN-X80 with Colorless
Directionless add/drop (CD-AD) functionality.
The CD-AD is a flexible solution to add/drop channels. Each port of the add/drop struc-
ture can access any wavelength from any direction of any degree within a node. It is
therefore ideally suited for highly flexible traffic patterns.
4.1 ONN-X80 8 Degree Route & Select architecture

The ONN-X80 8 Degree Route & Select architecture allows in total up to eight traffic
directions and CD-AD structures. For each additional CD-AD structure the maximum
number of traffic directions is reduced by one. For example, with three CD-AD structures
it is possible to have up to five nodal degrees.
Logically the CD-AD structure is divided into three layers:
ವ Direction-switching layer
The direction-switching layer is constituted by one F09MDR96-1 card and two
LAB(/B/P)C-1 cards. Each port of the F09MDR96-1 can be connected to any WSS
card on the express path and the splitter on the aggregation layer, allowing it to
access all degrees.
ವ Aggregation layer
The aggregation layer is constituted by one O09CC- 1 splitter/combiner card
ವ Tributary layer
The tributary layer consists of up to nine F09MCR96-1 cards, each one connected
to one port of the aggregation layer. It uses the 1:9 combiner for multiplexing and the
WSS module for demultiplexing.
This structure allows all 80 channels to be routed to a specific port.
The CD-AD functionality is achieved by using the direction switching card
F09MDR96-1, the add and drop LAxD of LAVIC-1 card type, the aggregation card
O09CC-1 and tributary card F09MCR96-1 as represented in the block in Figure 1. For
more information concerning the ONN-X80 CD-AD structure, please refer to the Product
Description (PD) manual.
Figure 1 displays ONN-X80 structure example with CD-AD.

4.2 ONN-X80 8 Degree Broadcast & Select architecture

The ONN-X80 8 Degree Broadcast & Select (B&S) architecture is based on the
F09MCR96-1 filter card. In each F09MCR96-1 card, the splitter part is used for dropping
channels while the WSS part adds channels at the egress port. For bidirectional traffic,
including add/drop functionality in both directions, one F09MCR96-1 card is required for
each degree.
The F09MCR96-1 offers nine universal ports which can be configured wither as express
or add/drop. New nodal degrees can be added with additional express path cards
without interrupting the traffic on existing directions.
The CD-AD allows that each port of the add/drop structure access any wavelength from
any direction of any degree within a node. It is therefore ideally suited for highly flexible
traffic patterns.
Logically the CD-AD structure is divided into three layers:
ವ Direction-switching layer
The direction-switching layer is constituted by one F09MCR96-1 and two
LAMIC-2/DCM cards. Each port of the F09MCR96-1 can be connected to any
WSS/splitter on the express path and the splitter on the aggregation layer, allowing
it to access all degrees.
ವ Aggregation layer
The aggregation layer is constituted by one O09CC-1 splitter/combiner card
ವ Tributary layer
The tributary layer consists of up to nine F09MCR96-1 cards, each one connected
to one port of the aggregation layer. It uses the 1:9 combiner for multiplexing and the
WSS module for demultiplexing.
This structure allows all 80 channels to be routed to a specific port.
The CD-AD functionality is achieved by using the direction switching card
F09MCR96-1, the add and drop LAxD of LAMIC-2 card type, the aggregation card
O09CC-1 and tributary card F09MCR96-1 as represented in the block in Figure 2. For
more information concerning the ONN-X80 B&S with CD-AD structure, please refer to
the Product Description (PD) manual.

Expansion Manual (EMN) Changing a single-controller NE to a multicontroller NE
(ONN-X96 only)
5 Changing a single-controller NE to a multi-

controller NE (ONN-X96 only)
This chapter describes the procedure to change an ONN-X96 that is currently using a
single-controller structure to a multicontroller structure. This is permitted in an ONN-X96
network element only, since only the ONN-X96 currently supports the multicontroller
structure.
g A multicontroller NE is composed of multiple subsystems. The Controller card in one of

the NE’s subsystems is assigned the role of Master Agent. Each of the other subsys-
tem(s) in the NE each contains a Controller card that is assigned the role of Subagent.
The Master Agent Controller card and all Subagent Controller card(s) must be con-
nected to each other via LAN cable connections formed into a closed ring.
g Master Agent and Subagent Controller cards may be CCMP-2, CCEP-2, CCEP-3, or
CCEP-3/S.
To migrate a single-controller NE to a multicontroller NE, complete the following steps:

Gather the following documents and have them available during the procedure:
Study Figure 3, which shows the three possible types of single-controller NEs.
Determine which type is currently being used in the ONN-X96 NE.
ವ Type 1: the main Controller card is a CCMP-2 or CCEP-2.
ವ Type 2: the main Controller card is a non-redundant CCEP-3 or CCEP-3/S.
ವ Type 3: the main Controller card is a pair of CCEP-3 or CCEP-3/S cards
(deployed as an active and standby pair).
w NOTICE: it is not really feasible to directly convert a Type 3 single-controller NE

to a multicontroller NE, since a multicontroller NE is not permitted to use redun-
dant (active-standby) Controller card pairs. You would first need to convert the
Type 3 to a Type 2, and then convert the Type 2 NE to multicontroller.
Study Figure 4, which shows the two options for multicontroller NEs. From these
two options, choose the new structure you want for the ONN-X96.
ವ Option 1: the Master Agent Controller card and all Subagent Controller cards
are CCMP-2 or CCEP-2.
ವ Option 2: the Master Agent Controller card and all Subagent Controller cards
are non-redundant CCEP-3 or CCEP-3/S.
g For example purposes, Option 1 and Option 2 in Figure 4 each show a total of three
subsystems (one Master Agent and two Subagents), and each Subsystem is shown
with one or two Extension shelves. Your NE may have a different number of shelves
and subsystems, so plan the NE conversion accordingly.
A42022-L5961-N074-01-7651 27
Changing a single-controller NE to a multicontroller NE Expansion Manual (EMN)
(ONN-X96 only)
g The procedures in this chapter assume you will keep the same type of Controller
cards when changing from single-controller to multicontroller. For example, if your
single-controller NE is using a CCEP-2 card as the Main Controller, it is assumed
you will also use CCEP-2 cards as Master Agent and Subagents to convert the NE
to multicontroller. If it is desired to change the type of Controller card used in the NE,
please refer to chapter 6.
Refer to Figure 3. In the existing single-controller NE structure, the card that is cur-
rently the Main Controller will become the Master Agent when the NE is converted
to multicontroller. So first, configure this card to be the Master Agent. For instruc-
tions, refer to the hiT 7300 ONN Commissioning Manual chapter “Configuring mul-
ticontroller NE”.
Refer to Figure 4. Install all new shelves and cards that make up the new Subsys-
tem(s) to be added to the NE. For installation guidance, refer to the hiT 7300 Instal-
lation Manual (ITMN), and the Interconnection, Configuration, and Mechanical
Assembly (ICMA) manual.
Note from Figure 4 that the Master Agent and all Subagents must be connected to
each other via cable connections called the SLAN ring. And, all shelves within the
same subsystem must be connected to each other via cable connections called the
ILAN ring. So, make sure the User 1 and User 2 ports on the Master Agent Controller
card and each Subagent Controller card are configured as “ILAN”. [This is neces-
sary in order for these ports to be used for ILAN or SLAN connections]. For instruc-
tions, refer to the hiT 7300 Operating Manual (OMN) chapter “Configuring the User
1 / User 2 interface”.
Make all necessary SLAN and ILAN cable connections for the number of shelves
and Subsystems in your NE. For instructions, refer to the hiT 7300 Installation
Manual (ITMN) chapter “Multicontroller NE communication”.
Apply power to the each shelf that contains a Subagent Controller card. Wait until
the Subagent card completes its startup. Each Subsystem will start as the default
NE type (single-controller OLR).
Connect on-site to each Subagent Controller card via the QF local interface. For
instructions, refer to the hiT 7300 ONN Commissioning Manual chapter “Connecting
on-site”.
Configure each Subagent. For instructions, refer to the hiT 7300 ONN Commission-
ing Manual chapter “Configuring multicontroller NE”. Note that each Subsystem will
reboot. After the reboot, each Subsystem will be recognized by the Master Agent.
t If the APS installed in the Master Agent is different than that in the Subagent(s), a
second reboot will occur to synchronize the APS versions.
Apply power to each Extension shelf. Each Once they boot-up, each Extension shelf
will be recognized by the Master Agent. Configure each shelf according to the hiT
7300 ONN Commissioning Manual chapter “Configuring Extension shelf”.

6 Upgrading Controller cards

This chapter contains the necessary information to upgrade and downgrade Controller
cards.
According to the task to be performed, select one of the following steps:
ವ To upgrade a Controller card, go to chapter 6.1.
ವ To install a redundant Controller card (CCEP-3, CCEP-3/S, or CCSP-3), go to
chapter 6.2.
t For detailed technical information about hiT 7300 Controller cards (specifications, fea-
tures, dimensions), please refer to the hiT 7300 Product Description (PD).
6.1 Upgrading a Controller card

“Upgrading” a Controller card means to change one of the earlier “full-height” Controller
cards (CCEP-2, CCMP-2, or CCSP-1) to a half-height Controller card (CCEP-3, CCEP-
3/S, or CCSP-3). You have a choice how to deploy half-height Controller cards. You may
install only one card in a shelf, or (optionally) two half-height Controller cards may be
installed in a shelf as an active/standby redundant pair.
w NOTICE: half-height Controller cards deployed as a redundant pair cannot be used in

Multicontroller (Master Agent /Subagent) NE structures. Redundant Controller cards
can be used only in single-controller NE structures.
Find your task in the list below, and go to the indicated chapter for instructions:
Upgrade to a CCEP-3. Go to chapter 6.1.1, which covers the following upgrades:
ವ CCEP-2 to a CCEP-3.
ವ CCMP-2 to a CCEP-3.
Upgrade to a CCEP-3/S. Go to chapter 6.1.2, which covers the following upgrades:
ವ CCEP-2 to a CCEP-3/S.
ವ CCMP-2 to a CCEP-3/S.
ವ CCEP-3 to a CCEP-3/S.
Upgrade to a CCSP-3. Go to chapter 6.1.3, which covers the following upgrades:
ವ CCSP-1 to a CCSP-3.
Before starting any upgrade of a controller card or APS software, take the following infor-
mation into consideration (to avoid triggering hardware failure alarms or Recover Mode).
ವ Any upgrade from an APS prior to Release 5.30 cannot be performed directly to a
5.40 APS release. You must first upgrade to Release 5.30, and then upgrade to
Release 5.40.
ವ For ONN and SON NEs, any APS upgrade of system running Release 5.30 and
higher must be performed on systems running CCEP/CCMP-2 or CCEP-3 controller
cards with at least 8 GB flash memory.
ವ For OLR NEs using CCEP-1 or CCMP-1, any APS upgrade of systems running
Release 5.30 or higher must be performed on controller cards with at least 1 GB
flash memory.

Upgrading Controller cards Expansion Manual (EMN)
6.1.1 Upgrade to a CCEP-3 Controller card

Upgrading one of the earlier “full-height” Controller cards (CCEP-2 or CCMP-2) to a
“half-height” CCEP-3 Controller card cannot be done by a simple replacement. Since
the CCEP-3 is a half-height card, it cannot be inserted directly into a hiT 7300 shelf.
Instead, a mechanical cage called the “Controller Redundancy Carrier Board” (CRCB-
1) must be installed in the shelf first. The CRCB-1 has two half-height “sub-slots”, which
means that up to two CCEP-3 Controller cards can be installed in the CRCB-1.
w NOTICE: When upgrading the controller card the connection to the NE controlled by the
CCEP/CCMP card is lost. All DCN traffic running over the CCEP/CCMP card to be
replaced is also interrupted.
CCEP-3 cards use, and only support, a memory card layout that differs from the layout
used by the CCEP/CCMP-1/2 cards and APS versions from 5.30 00 onwards.
To complete the upgrade procedure, it is necessary to consult the following documen-
tation:
To avoid entering Recover Mode when transferring the NE MIB from the old controller
to the CCEP-3 controller card, complete the following procedure:
Upgrade the APS version on the CCEP/CCMP-1/2 Compact Flash to the actual
target version (delivered with the CCEP-3), please refer to the Operating Manual
(OMN).
Upload the MIB, please refer to the Operating Manual (OMN).
w NOTICE: If the old CF card is being re-used in the CCEP-3 card, copy the active
APS to the inactive APS as described in the Operating Manual (OMN), and proceed
to step 4. Otherwise proceed to step 3.
Replace the Compact Flash (CF) card of the CCEP/CCMP-1/2 controller card with
the new 8 GB Compact Flash card delivered with the new CCEP-3 controller card,
refer to the Troubleshooting Manual (TSMN).
The MIB will be recovered from the Onboard Flash of the CCEP/CCMP-1/2 control-
ler card.
If the CCEP-1/2 controller card Telemetry Interface (TIF) functionality is being used,
right-click the CCEP-1/2 controller card, select the TIF Actors.../TIF Sensors...
button. Record the TIF configurations displayed on the TIF Actors/TIF Sensors
window. You will need this information in a later step.
Remove the CCEP/CCMP-1/2 controller card. For instructions, refer to the Trouble-
shooting Manual (TSMN).
Remove the Compact Flash card from the CCEP/CCMP-1/2 card and install it as
Memory Card 0 on the CCEP-3 card, refer to the Troubleshooting Manual (TSMN).
There should already be a factory-installed memory card in the Memory Card 1 slot
on the CCEP-3. If not, insert a new memory card into Memory Card 1 slot.
30 A42022-L5961-N074-01-7651
Install the CRCB-1 (Controller Redundancy Carrier Board) in the shelf. Then, install
CCEP-3 Controller card in the lower sub-slot of the CRCB-1. For detailed instruc-
tions, refer to the hiT 7300 Installation and Test Manual (ITMN).
If TIF and/or EOW functionality is required, install a CTIF-1 card along with the new
CCEP-3 card(s), please refer to the Installation and Test Manual (ITMN).
For TIF functionality usage apply the TIF settings noted down in step 4 to the new
CTIF-1 card, please refer to the Operating Manual (OMN).
The controller card is upgraded.
6.1.2 Upgrade to a CCEP-3/S Controller card

The upgrade from a CCEP/CCMP-1/2 or a CCEP-3 to a CCEP-3/S controller card
cannot be done by a simple replacement, as the CCEP-3/S card requires a Redundancy
Carrier Board (CRCB) which can host one or two CCEP-3/S controller cards.
The main CCEP-3/S card must be plugged into slot 16, the lower sub-slot of the CRCB.
If a redundant CCEP-3/S card is needed, it must be plugged into slot 17, the upper sub-
slot of the CRCB.
g The redundant CCEP-3/S card must be plugged into slot 17 after complete restoration
of the main CCEP-3/S card in slot 16.
When a CRCB is installed with only one CCEP-3/S card there is always an implicit
preparation of controller redundancy and therefore the cabling is different to the cabling
of the CCEP/CCMP-1/2 cards, please refer to the Installation and Test Manual (ITMN).
w NOTICE: When upgrading the controller card the connection to the NE controlled by the
CCEP/CCMP card is lost. All DCN traffic running over the CCEP/CCMP card to be
replaced is also interrupted.
CCEP-3/S cards supports two Solid-state Drive (SSD) that differs from the Compact
Flash (CF) card used by the CCEP/CCMP-1/2 or CCEP-3 cards and APS versions from
5.30 00 onwards. Therefore there is no exchange of these storage devices between
these cards and CCEP-3/S.
tation:
To upgrade from CCEP/CCMP-1/2 or a CCEP-3 to a CCEP-3/S, complete the following
steps:
Upgrade the APS version on the CCEP/CCMP-1/2 or CCEP-3 Compact Flash to the
actual target version (delivered with the CCEP-3/S), as described in the Operating
Manual (OMN)
Upload the MIB to an external storage device, as described in the Operating Manual
(OMN).
If the CCEP-1/2 or CCEP-3 controller card Telemetry Interface (TIF) functionality is
being used, right-click the CCEP-1/2 or CCEP-3 controller card, select the TIF
A42022-L5961-N074-01-7651 31
Actors.../TIF Sensors... button and note down the TIF configurations in the TIF
Actors/TIF Sensors window.
Remove the CCEP/CCMP-1/2 or CCEP-3 controller card, as described in the Trou-
bleshooting Manual (TSMN).
Install the CRCB-1 (Controller Redundancy Carrier Board) in the shelf. Then, install
CCEP-3/S Controller card in the lower sub-slot of the CRCB-1. For detailed instruc-
tions, refer to the hiT 7300 Installation and Test Manual (ITMN).
If TIF and/or EOW functionality is required, install a CTIF-1 card along with the new
CCEP-3/S card(s), please refer to the Installation and Test Manual (ITMN).
For TIF functionality usage apply the TIF settings noted down in step 3 to the new
CTIF-1 card, please refer to the Operating Manual (OMN).
Download and activate the MIB file previous uploaded to the external storage
device, as described in the Operating Manual (OMN).
6.1.3 Upgrading from a CCSP-1 to a CCSP-3 controller card.

The upgrade from a CCSP-1 to a CCSP-3 controller card cannot be done by a simple
replacement, as the CCSP-3 card requires a Redundancy Carrier Board (CRCB) which
can host one or two CCSP-3 controller cards.
The main CCSP-3 card must be plugged into slot 16, the lower sub-slot of the CRCB.
If a redundant CCSP-3 card is desired, it must be plugged into slot 17, the upper
sub-slot of the CRCB.
g The redundant CCSP-3 card must be plugged into slot 17 after complete restoration of
the main CCSP-3 card in slot 16.
When a CRCB is installed with only one CCSP-3 card there is always an implicit
preparation of controller redundancy and therefore the cabling is different from the
cabling of the CCSP-1 cards. Please refer to the Installation and Test Manual (ITMN) for
more detailed information. See the chapter, “Establishing Controller card connections”.
g CCSP-x cards do not contain any user-replaceable memory modules. Therefore, no

MIB transfer procedure is required.

tation:
To upgrade a CCSP-1 to a CCSP-3 controller card, complete the following steps:
Remove the CCSP-1 controller card, as described in the Troubleshooting Manual
(TSMN).
Install the Controller Redundancy Carrier Board (CRCB-1) into slot 16, as described
in the hiT 7300 Installation and Test Manual (ITMN).
Install the CCSP-3 half-size controller card in the lower sub-slot of the CRCB-1 as
described in the hiT 7300 Installation and Test Manual (ITMN).
32 A42022-L5961-N074-01-7651
6.2 Adding a redundant Controller card

“Half height” Controller cards include the CCEP-3, CCEP-3/S, and CCSP-3. These
cards have an overall height of 129mm. They cannot be inserted directly into a hiT 7300
shelf. Instead, a mechanical cage called the “Controller Redundancy Carrier Board”
(CRCB-1) must be installed in the shelf first. The CRCB-1 has two half-height “sub-
slots”, which can handle one or (optionally) two half-height Controller cards. In other
words, the CRCB-1 may be equipped with a single-non-redundant Controller card, or
two Controller cards may optionally be installed in the CRCB-1 as an active/standby
redundant pair.
w NOTICE: redundant Controller cards are permitted only in a “single-controller” NE struc-

ture. It is not permitted to deploy redundant Controller cards in a Multicontroller (Master
Agent and Subagent) NE structure. So, if your NE is operating as Multicontroller, the
procedures in this chapter are not relevant, and must not be attempted.
w NOTICE: the CRCB-1 contains two sub-slots which allow the installation of one or two
half-height Controller cards. This arrangement provides (optional) card redundancy.
Since card redundancy is optional, it is permitted to install only one Controller card in the
CRCB-1. But note that the card must be installed in the lower slot of the CRCB-1 and in
this case, the (empty) upper slot must be equipped with a Filler Panel. Whether or not
card redundancy is employed, the bottom sub-slot must always have a Controller card
installed. It is never allowed for the bottom sub-slot to be empty. It is never allowed for
the bottom sub-slot to contain a Filler Panel.
For this procedure, it is assumed that the CRCB-1 is already installed in the shelf,
and the shelf has been successfully operating with only one Controller card
installed (in the lower sub-slot of the CRCB-1), but it is now desired to add the
second (redundant) Controller card. To do so, follow the steps below:
If installing a CCEP-3 or CCEP-3/S, verify that the memory modules (labeled
“Memory Card 0” and “Memory Card 1” on the card circuit board) are present. Also
verify that the hinged arm of each memory module’s ejector button is in its folded
position. Otherwise, the ejector button can be broken when the card is inserted into
the CRCB-1. [This step is not applicable to the CCSP-3, since the CCSP-3 does not
contain any memory modules].
Remove the Filler Panel from the upper sub-slot of the CRCB-1.
Make sure the new Controller card’s upper latch is set in the “Remove” position.
Carefully insert the card into the upper sub-slot of the CRCB-1. Tighten the card’s
bottom knurled screw first. Then, slide the card’s upper knurled latch to the “Locked”
position and tighten it.
If you are installing a redundant Controller card in other shelves in this same NE,
repeat steps 1 through 3 for the other shelves.
Make all necessary cable connections to/from all Controller cards. For instructions,
see the hiT 7300 Installation Manual (ITMN) chapter “Establishing Controller card
connections”.
Configure User1, User 2, Q, and QF ports on all Controller cards as required. For
instructions, refer to the hiT 7300 Operating Manual chapters, “Configuring the User
1 / User 2 interface” and “Configuring Q and QF interfaces”.
A42022-L5961-N074-01-7651 33
Disable any unused ILAN ports on all Controller cards as required. Unused ILAN
ports must be disabled for security reasons. To do so, open Element Manager and
do the following:
D In the Equipment tab, double-click the shelf which contains the Controller
card. The Shelf Equipment window will be opened.
E Right-click the Controller card symbol and select External Interfaces.
F Select the port to be configured (ILAN 1 or ILAN 2), and set to Disabled.
G Click Apply.
H Repeat for each ILAN port that is unused.
Verify that no alarms are raised by the Controller cards or their Ethernet ports.
w NOTICE: the following combinations of card equipping are permitted in a CRCB-1:

ವ One Controller card (CCEP-3, CCEP-3/S, or CCSP-3) in the bottom sub-slot and a
Filler Panel in the upper sub-slot.
ವ One CCEP-3 card and one CCEP-3/S card.
ವ Two CCEP-3 cards.
ವ Two CCEP-3/S cards.
ವ Two CCSP-3 cards.

@CT @CT is a web-based craft terminal (that is, element manager) software which provides
web access to hiT 7300 network elements (NEs) in the customer network without the
use of a management system. It communicates via SNMP with the NEs and uses the
FTPS for upload/download of software or other data configuration (for example, log
files).
10 Gigabit small A 10 Gigabit small Form-factor Pluggable (XFP) module is a swappable component
Form-factor Plugga- mounted at the faceplate of some types of hiT 7300 transponder cards. It acts as a
ble (XFP) boundary interface between the client signal and the DWDM line signal by performing
the bidirectional optical/electrical traffic conversion.
Add channel An active channel inserted (via multiplexing) into the DWDM transmission line at the
head end ONN NE of a pre-emphasis section.
Alarm An alarm is a management mechanism intended to inform the user that there is a
standing fault condition in the system.
Alarm log An alarm log provides a list of the alarms associated with a managed object, and
provides the following information about each of the alarms:
ವ the identification of the affected object
ವ the identification of the failed NE or the NE in which the failed unit resides
ವ the alarm severity
ವ the time the event occurred
ವ the indication whether the alarmed event is service affecting or not
ವ the location and the affected traffic
Alarm severity Each failure is assigned a severity. The following values are used:
ವ critical
ವ major
ವ minor
ವ warning
Element Manager (EM) can configure the severity which is assigned to each fault cause
by an alarm severity assignment profile. In addition, EM can specify that a fault cause
shall not be alarmed. These fault causes will be blocked, hence do not lead to any LED
alarm indications, log entries or alarm reporting.
Alien wavelength A wavelength that does not originate from a hiT 7300 transponder or muxponder card,
but is still allowed to be multiplexed into the aggregate line signal for transport as an
optical channel by the hiT 7300 system.
Amplified Spontane- Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) is produced when a laser gain medium is
ous Emission pumped to produce a population inversion. Feedback of the ASE by the laser's optical
cavity may produce laser operation if the lasing threshold is reached. Excessive ASE is
an unwanted effect in lasers, since it limits the maximum gain that can be achieved in
the gain medium. ASE enters the noise and affects directly the OSNR.
Amplifier card The line amplifier cards provide the optical signal amplification via a gain block with one
or more pump lasers, interstage access for dispersion compensation, a stage for con-
nection of external pumps, and gain control mechanisms.

sioning, the ALS checks for link restoration in small time intervals and resumes the
transmission (that is, enables the transmission laser) when the line is restored.
Booster A Booster is an optical amplifier placed at the link section head end.
Booster-less card A booster-less line interface card is a unidirectional line interface card for the link direc-
tion of a DWDM line interface without amplification functionality. The booster-less line
interface card can replace a booster amplifier card for short span applications.
C/DWDM filter pack C/DWDM filter pack is a passive filtering solution realized in a small filter pack shelf

The C/DWDM filter pack does not require power supply. It is completely independent
from the hiT 7300 system from a management point of view.
Card A card is a plug-in unit that occupies one (or multiple) shelf slots. Cards perform specific
electrical and/or optical functions within an NE.
Each card has a faceplate with information LEDs and, in most cases, several ports for
interconnection of optical fibers and/or optical interfaces (for example, SFP).
Card faceplate All cards are equipped with individual faceplates in order to meet EMI/ESD require-
ments, and ensure heat dissipation. The card faceplate contains LEDs, and in some
cases optical or electrical interfaces.
Card LEDs Card Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are luminous signals that can alert the user to:
ವ The state of the power supply.
ವ A card problem that requires card replacement.
ವ The existence of communication or equipment alarms.
ವ The presence or absence of traffic in the card.
Card slot A card slot is the insertion facility for a card in a shelf. Each card slot is designed for one
or several particular card types.
Mechanical coding elements make sure that each card can be fully inserted only into a
card slot that is suitable for the given card type. Therefore, fundamental shelf equipping
errors (which might cause hardware damage or fatal malfunctions) are impossible.
Chain network A chain network is a network topology characterized by a chain connection between
several NEs, that is, the optical signal is transmitted from one end-point NE to another
but new channels can be added, dropped or re-routed (to another optical path) along the
optical path.
Channel power Channel power monitor cards provide in-service monitoring of optical channel power
monitor card levels via an onboard Optical Spectrum Analyzer. The card has four input ports to
monitor the channel spectrum from four separate points in an NE.
Chromatic disper- Chromatic dispersion has the effect of spreading the signal pulse width, no longer
sion allowing an accurate recognition of a single “one” bit or a single “zero” bit.
Client interface A client interface is a transponder interface that faces the client side of the link. Contrast
with “line interface” which faces the transmission (line) side of the link.

tion - Quadrature 100G data rate. CP-QPSK combines quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) with
Phase Shift Keying coherent detection which is sensitive to the phase as well as the amplitude of the optical
(CP-QPSK) wave offering ultra-narrow optical filtering capability. The coherent detection modulation
format uses 50 GHz channel spacing and works with intermixed 40G and 100G optical
channels in an existing optical network. CP-QPSK allows for DCM-free transmission
and displays high tolerance to polarization mode dispersion.
Commissioning Commissioning an network element (NE) is the process of taking an installed NE and
bringing it in to an operational state. The NE commissioning phase is performed after
the NE is installed and powered-up.

perform all manual configuration on the base of commissioning reports.
Controller card NE controller cards provide the central monitoring and controlling functions of the
system, as well as the MCF to operate the Q and QF Ethernet interfaces.

internal port connections and cross connections. Hence, the NEs are not dependant on
NCFs to configure relevant parameters for commissioning a link, adding services or
expanding a network. Some of these parameter values are specified in the commission-
ing reports.
CWDM patch-cord A CWDM patch-cord solution is provided by the add/drop patch-cord. The patch-cord is

Forward Error Cor- FEC is a technique that optimizes signal performance by providing a better Optical
rection (FEC) Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR) tolerance at the transponders, that is, FEC enables the
system to withstand more signal noise.
FEC is a coding algorithm that enables bit error detection and correction. FEC is a "for-
ward" scheme, that is, the receiver receives only the information needed to detect and
correct bit errors and never requests a re-transmission.
Frequency Frequency is a physical attribute of a wave (for example, an optical wave), defined as
the number of wave cycles per time unit. The frequency is directly related to the wave-
length.

Optical channel Optical channel control manages the optical channel state information through the entire
control optical path. The optical channel control activates mechanisms to recover the normal
operation of the optical path in a link failure scenario, or activate mechanisms to manage
operations in case of an optical channel upgrade/ downgrade scenario. The activation

each NE. The transmission of this information along the optical path, between NEs, is
provided by the Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC).
Optical channel pro- An optical channel protection card is a passive card which contains 6 optical splitters.
tection card Three of those splitters act as combiners to switch the traffic together with the transpon-

tection card (that is, three pairs of client interfaces).
Optical Line An Optical Line Repeater is an NE which is used for optical signal amplification and dis-
Repeater (OLR) persion compensation.

agement and alerting, a cause that could lead to a degraded performance before a failure is
declared.
Point-to-point A point-to-point network is a network topology characterized by a connection between

network two end-point NEs, that is, the optical signal is transmitted from one end-point to another
end-point without add or drop of channels. Applications where the span length is con-
siderably big may require an amplification/regeneration (done by OLR NEs) along the
optical path.

Panel (PDP) racks of an NE. It contains fuses (or circuit breakers) to protect all the dual-redundant
power supplies connected to each shelf in the rack.
Power meter An optical power meter is the equipment recommended to use in case of single optical
channel power measurement.
Power tilt Spectrum power tilt occurs when a flat DWDM signals travel through transmission fiber.
Due to stimulated Raman scattering, shorter wavelength channels will pump longer
wavelength channels, and so transfer their energy to longer wavelength channels.
Power User User mode which is necessary to set critical parameters of hiT 7300 at Core Provision-
ing via NMS. The Power User mode is only allowed for the user groups “Operation”,
“Configuration”, and “Administration” and requires a specific password.
Preamplifier Preamplifier is an optical amplifier placed at the link section tail end.
Pre-emphasis The Pre-emphasis method is applied to pre-emphasis sections, and is used to optimize
the optical link by means of optical power adjustment (manual or automatic).
Pre-emphasis The pre-emphasis method is applied to pre-emphasis sections and is used to optimize
method the optical link by means of optical power adjustment.
Pre-emphasis A pre-emphasis section is the optical segment from the booster of a WLT/ONN to the
section preamplifier of the next adjacent WLT/ONN.
Provisioning mode Mode, which determines how the hiT 7300 equipment and services are setup. In
hiT 7300 three different provisioning modes are distinguished: Service Provisioning
via NCF, Service Provisioning via NMS, and Core Provisioning via NMS.
Pump laser A pump laser is a laser with a wavelength different from the signal laser, used as the
energy source for signal amplification.
Rack A rack is the main unit of the hiT 7300, it carries all system devices in a specific arrange-
ment. The most important elements placed in the rack are the shelves and the Power
Distribution Panel (PDP).
Raman amplification The basis of Raman amplification is the energy scattering effect called Stimulated
Raman Scattering (SRS). The SRS is a non-linear effect inherent to the fiber itself. SRS
involves a transfer of power from a signal at a higher frequency (lower wavelength) to
one at a lower frequency (higher wavelength), due to inelastic collisions in the fiber
medium. It can be used for optical amplification, in which the higher frequency laser
serves as a pump source, amplifying the lower frequency wave carrying the actual traffic
signal to be amplified.

Raman pump card Raman pump cards must be inserted at the receiving line interface. They are normally
used in long span applications to ensure that the same amplifier spacing can be
achieved with lower EDFA output power per channel, allowing a higher total number of
channels.
For certain links where the non-linear effects limit an increase in the number of spans,
a channel power reduction decreases the non-linear effects, and therefore allows a
higher number of spans. Raman amplifiers are preferably applied to bridge single extra
long spans.
Regenerator A regenerator is a device used to extend the reach of fiber-optic traffic communications,
by compensating the attenuation and the distortion of the optical signal.
The regenerator converts the received optical signal to an electrical signal, processes it,
reconverts it to an optical signal and retransmits it.
Regional hiT 7300 Regional segment is a DWDM application characterized by path lengths
starting at 200 km and for high traffic volumes. These networks are often used as
regional collector networks to feed into LH portions of the network. Regional DWDM
networks have typical path lengths of up to 500 km.
Remote Optically A ROPA module is a passive unit with a Erbium doped fiber to amplify the optical signal.
Pumped Amplifier It is placed in the transmission cable to extend the long single span length.
(ROPA)
Ring network A ring network is a network topology in which each NE connects to exactly two other
NEs, forming a circular optical path for signals (that is, a ring).
Security manage- Security Management controls the individual access to particular NE functions via the
ment network management system and/or via a craft terminal, using a hierarchical security
management user ID, and password concept.
Shelf The rack-mountable housing into which cards are installed. The shelf contains terminals
for connection of the power supply voltage that is distributed to each card. Major com-
ponents of each shelf are card slots, backplane, Connector Panel, Fan Unit(s) and Fan
Filter.
Service Provisioning Provisioning mode in hiT 7300.

via NCF All core equipment and services are provisioned via NE-specific Network Element
Configuration Files (NCFs). In this mode, an operator cannot provision shelves, cards,
internal port connections or cross connections via the Network Management System
(NMS). NCFs must be downloaded and swapped when commissioning an ONN/Optical
Line Repeater (OLR), adding new services (channel upgrade) or expanding an existing
network.
Service Provisioning Provisioning mode in hiT 7300.

via NMS The core equipment is provisioned by downloading and swapping NCFs, while
services are manually provisioned via the NMS.
When adding new services or expanding an existing network, the relevant line cards,
cross connections and internal port connections between line cards and multiplex-
ers/demultiplexers are provisioned via the NMS.
Service-related hiT 7300 equipment which feed wavelengths into the optical link. Transponders, mux-
equipment ponders and regenerators are service-related equipment. (See also core equipment).
A42022-L5961-N074-01-7651 47
Simple Network SNMP is used in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for
Management conditions that warrant administrative control. It consists of a set of standards for
Protocol (SNMP) network management, including an application layer protocol, a database schema, and
a set of data objects.
Single-controller A single-controller NE is an NE with one controller card.

Network Element
Small Form-Factor An SFP module is a swappable component mounted at the front panel of some types of
Pluggable (SFP) hiT 7300 transponder cards. It acts as a boundary interface between the client signal
and the DWDM line signal by performing bidirectional optical/electrical traffic conver-
sion.
Software manage- Software management performs all software downloads, uploads, and software integrity
ment functions.
Span See Optical Transmission Section.
Span loss Span loss is the optical power loss measured in dBs between two adjacent NEs.
Standalone Optical A Standalone Optical Node (SON) is a DWDM NE that can be used in passive DWDM
Node (SON) (for example, point-to-point and remote transponder solutions) and long single span
applications.
Stimulated Brillouin Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) is the interaction of photons and optical phonons
Scattering (SBS) (acoustic phonons). The latter are the particles, which can be assigned to vibrations of
the array of atoms and electrons. The SBS acts in backward direction and it is especially
important when there is bidirectional transmission. In this case, a channel interferes with
itself causing significant distortion and loss in forward direction.
Subagent Software component in multicontroller NEs that runs on NE controller cards and that
controls a subsystem (= a set of assigned shelves and cards therein).
Subsystem A subsystem is a set of shelves and cards in multicontroller NE that is controlled by a

subagent. All subagents within a multicontroller NE are controlled by the master agent.
Tandem Connection TCMs are configurable parameters (via Element Manager) of the transponders. They
Monitoring (TCM) provide a Performance Management of all the Optical Transport Network (that is, end-
to-end connection) or specific sections only and implement an Optical channel Data Unit
(ODU) termination provisioned to support up to six TCM levels.
TNMS TNMS is an integrated solution designed for large, medium and small size networks. It
supports NEs with DWDM, OTH, SDH, PDH, Ethernet in line, star, ring and mesh
network configurations. TNMS can be used to manage networks in the access, edge,
metro, core and backbone levels.
Telemetry Interface TIF sensors (inputs) and TIF actors (outputs) can be found in the NEs’ controller cards
(TIF) as a separate module called TIF module. The TIF module is intended to be used for tra-
ditional user-defined “housekeeping” purposes (for example, fire alarm, over tempera-
ture alarm, door-open alarm, lights, air conditioning, and so on).
Trail Trace Identifier TTI is a transponder card parameter (configurable via Element Manager) of which is
(TTI) used to verify correct cabling or correct Tandem Connection Monitoring (TCM) configu-
ration. The basic principle is that specific overhead bytes are reserved for Trace
Messages of the user's choosing. By specifying the Actually Sent (transmitted) and the
Expected (received) trace messages, the system can automatically verify that fiber con-
48 A42022-L5961-N074-01-7651
nections have been made as intended. This is accomplished by comparing the expected
Trace Message to that actually received. If they differ, an alarm is raised, alerting per-
sonnel of the incorrect connections.
Transponder card A transponder card receives an optical input signal and converts it to an optical output
signal suitable for DWDM multiplexing and transmission.
Transponder Loopbacks are diagnostic tests that can be activated via Element Manager. Loopbacks
loopback return the transmitted signal back to the sending device after the signal has passed
across a particular link. The returned signal can then be compared to the transmitted
one. Any discrepancy between the transmitted and the returned signal helps to trace
faults.
UDCM tray An UDCM tray is a mechanical shelf mounted in a rack, which can hold up to 4 UDCMs.
Ultra Long Haul hiT 7300 ULH segment is a DWDM application characterized by long path lengths of up
(ULH) to 1600 km.
Unidirectional Dis- Unidirectional Dispersion Compensation Modules (UDCMs) provide a dispersion com-
persion Compensa- pensation of the DWDM signal. They are not supplied as shelf plug-in cards, being
tion Module (UDCM) mounted in a specific plug-in box inside the UDCM tray.
UDCMs are available in "single-height" UDCM and "double-height" UDCM. A blank
(dummy) UDCM is also available to be installed in those positions that do not have an
actual UDCM installed.
User Channel hiT 7300 user channels are used for bidirectional connections between NEs via the OSC
or GCC0, providing the customer with a point-to-point Ethernet connection for specific
data network or remote access to NEs not reachable via DCN.
VOA See Attenuator Card.
Wavelength Wavelength is a physical attribute of a wave (for example, an optical wave), defined as
the distance between corresponding points of two consecutive wave cycles.
The wavelength is directly related to the frequency of the wave.
Wrist strap A grounded anti-static strap worn on the wrist to prevent electrostatic discharge that may
damage electronic equipment.
