1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
This document is intended to provide the reader with comprehensive information on the
Synchronous Add/Drop Multiplexer family SMA Series 4 that comprises the application types
SMA16/4 (double-row subrack) and SMA4/1 (single-row subrack). Please note, the SMA16/4 is
identical to the former SMA16 product from the hardware point of view. To make SMA16 a
member of the SMA Series 4 product line, SMA16 had to be renamed to SMA16/4 showing that
it is capable of establishing STM-16 and STM-4 network applications. The advantage now is
that the product SMA16/4 can start as STM-4 Multiplexer that can be easily upgraded to an
STM-16 Multiplexer by simply fitting the STM-16 line cards and a SW-upgrade. The product
SMA4/1 addresses mainly the STM-4 applications but can also be used in high capacity STM-1
applications.
The SMA Series 4 is the new generation of Siemens SDH synchronous multiplexer to enable
multiplexing of PDH and SDH tributary signals into higher bit rates up to STM-16 level. It
consists of a common HW and SW platform for network applications of STM-1, STM-4, and
STM-16. Both the products SMA16/4 and SMA4/1 of the SMA Series 4 family feature high
flexibility as they can be used as an Add/Drop Multiplexer, as a Local Cross-Connect or as a
plain Line Terminal.
The SMA Series 4 family provides a very flexible equipping of tributary interfaces in a range
beginning from 2 Mb/s PDH up to optical STM-4 SDH. It can house a variety of tributary slide-
in units allowing for a 100 percent add/drop via the non-blocking cross-connect matrix with the
effective capacity of 64 STM-1 equivalents (or 4032 TU-12) in the SMA16/4 and 16 STM-1
equivalents (or 1008 TU-12) in the SMA4/1. Extraction and insertion at all VC-levels, namely
VC-4, VC-3, VC-2, and VC-12 are possible.
The SMA16/4 is also suitable for DWDM-operation. A huge variety of „coloured“ 2.5 Gbit/s
laser sources according to the ITU-recommendation G.692 are available with the product.
A important new feature of the Series 4.3 are the Ethernet interfaces (10/100BT mapped into E1
ÎVC-12 or E3ÎVC-3; Fast Ethernet mapped into VC-4; Gigabit Ethernet mapped into VC-4
or VC-4-4v).
Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) is a network topology being developed as a new standard for fiber
optic rings (This standard shall be defined in ITU 802.17). RPR is designed to meet the
requirements of a packet-based MAN like guaranteed service quality and bandwidth
management within Service level agreements. RPR is a ring-based architecture that consists of
packet-switching nodes connecting to adjacent nodes over a single fiber pair.
RPR is introduced in the SMA 16 Rel. 4.3.
The information given here addresses the Application Software Release 4.3. Please refer also to
the related Customer Feature List for the complete feature set.

1.2 Key Features and Benefits
One of the main features of the SMA Series 4 is the common HW and SW platform that features
the unrestricted ability to add and drop 2 Mb/s signals (VC-12) directly to and from the STM-1,
STM-4, or STM-16 line signals. Up to 252 x 2 Mb/s ports (42 ports per card) are provided even
with the single-row SMA4/1 in a 1:n card protection arrangement. Therefore, by means of
interconnecting SMA16/4 with SMA4/1 on an optical STM-1 level (with optional 1+1 MSP
protection) up to 504 fully protected 2 Mb/s in two independent 1:n card protection groups are
possible within one single ETSI or 19” type rack.

The SMA Series 4 terminal multiplexer are equipped with a non-blocking switching network and
thus provide cross-connectivity between all line and tributary interfaces on all levels VC-4,
VC-3, VC-2, and VC-12.

2.2 SMA Series 4 as Add Drop Multiplexer (ADM)
The SMA Series 4 ADMs are equipped with a non-blocking switching network. Therefore they
provide cross-connectivity between all line and tributary interfaces for the signal levels VC-4,
VC-3, VC-2, and VC-12.

can be arbitrarily allocated.

2.3 SMA Series 4 as Local Cross-Connect (LXC)
Both SMA Series 4 products SMA16/4 and SMA4/1 provide full Cross-Connectivity between
line-line, line-trib and trib-trib, limited only by the capacity of the switching network or the
available slots. This applies for all supported layers VC-4, VC-3, VC-2, and VC-12 for the cross-
connection-types unidirectional and bidirectional with or without SNCP.

3.2 SMA Series 4 System Implementations
3.2.1 Block Diagram of SMA16/4 System Architecture

The SMA16/4 is mainly a full connectivity STM-16 ADM with a switching granularity down to
VC-12 level that can also be used for STM-4 or even high capacity STM-1 network applications.
The design is based on traffic and tributary cards together with a lower order switch core
consisting of IPU16 and SN64 cards, see the block diagram in figure 6a below. The equipment is
conceived as a double row subrack that houses all the traffic and tributary cards. All
interconnections are done via the backplane. (please refer to figure 6a)
3.2.2 Block Diagram of SMA4/1 System Architecture

The SMA4/1 is mainly a full connectivity STM-4 ADM with a switching granularity down to
VC-12 level that can also be used for STM-1 network applications. The design is based on traffic
and tributary cards together with a lower order switch core consisting of IPU16 and SN64 cards,
see the block diagram in figure 6b below. The equipment is conceived as a single row subrack
that houses all the traffic and tributary cards. All interconnections are done via the backplane.
Note: As nearly all slots of the SMA4/1 (single-row subrack) can be arbitrarily equipped with
SDH and PDH type interfaces a clear distinction between Line and Tributary side is hardly
possible. In a further sense, the slot positions T#8 and T#9 can be regarded as “Line side” while
T#6 and T#7 can be both, “Line side” or “Tributary side”, depending on its equipping. (please
refer to figure 6b)

3.2.3 Optical STM-16 Interface OIS16D, OIS16-2D
For optical STM-16 signals (2.5 Gb/s) a variety of interfaces are provided for different ranges
and applications (short/long haul, high power, DWDM), see section 7.5 for details. The
OIS16D/-2D card provides one bidirectional port, i.e. receiver and transmitter. A maximum
equipping of 4 cards is possible to achieve a maximum of 4 STM-16 ports.
The STM-16 optical interface unit OIS16D/-2D is designed to meet performance requirements of
ITU-T Recommendation G.957 and for DWDM applications G.692. It is used as STM-16 line
interface and is, apart from the backplane connector, identical to the line interface used in the
Siemens SL16 Series 2 equipment.
The OIS16D/-2D houses the laser module and performs the control of several laser parameters
like modulation current and temperature. Monitoring of these parameters is performed and
communicated to the System Control Unit via the on board microprocessor PCU. A laser safety
shutdown (ALS) procedure is provided in conformance with ITU-T Rec. G.958 to ensure the
protection of personnel in case of fibre breaks.
The optical input and output power, the bias current, the modulation current, and the transmit
wavelength are monitored and can be requested from LCT/NCT or NMS. The APD and laser
temperature are also monitored.
After opto-electrical conversion the incoming STM-16 signal is descrambled and demultiplexed
to the VC-4 level and the section overhead is extracted. All traffic related overhead bytes (e.g.
B1, B2, J0, K1, K2, Pointer) are processed on the unit. The OH-bytes designated for EOW/user
channels as well as the data communication channel bytes D1 to D12 are passed to the internal
bus systems "OH-Bus/DCC-Bus".
Then the VC-4 signals are forwarded to the working and standby (if equipped) Internal
Processing Unit IPU16 for the further signal processing.
In the transmit direction the VC-4 signals are selected from the working or standby IPU16 unit.
Then the section overhead is processed/inserted from the OH-bus, the signals are multiplexed to
the STM-16 level and passed to the laser module.
For DWDM operation „coloured“ lasers are provided, see section Optical Planning Data.
To enhance the application range of the STM-16 systems, the OIS16D/-2D cards are designed to
operate with optical boosters and pre-amplifiers. A complete range of interfaces as presented in
ITU-T G.957 and G.scs is available.
The standard optical connector mounted at the front of the card is E2000 type. Other connector
types FC-PC, DIN, and SC connectors are possible using available adaptors.
The new OIS16-2D card supersedes the OIS16D card with release of SMA Series 4.2. It is fully
compatible from electrical and optical parameters point of view. Additionally, the new card
offers enhancement in network performance with three valuable add-on features “In-band FEC
(Forward Error Correction)” , “Handling of contiguously concatenated VC-4s”, and “Handling
of SONET signals”. Please note, that FEC and concatenation conversion (i.e. conversion of
contiguos into virtual concatenated signals) are mutually exclusive features, i.e. FEC and
concatenation can not be used concurrently at one OIS16-2D card.

3.2.4 Optical STM-4 Interface OIS4D, OIS4-2D
For STM-4 optical signals (622 Mb/s) a variety of interfaces are provided covering different
ranges and applications (long/short haul, high power). The OIS4D/-2D card provides one
bidirectional port, i.e. receiver and transmitter. Equipping of up to 8 cards is possible.
The STM-4 optical interface unit OIS4D/-2D complies with requirements of ITU-T Rec G.957.
It is used as STM-4 tributary interface.
The OIS4D/-2D unit houses the laser module, modulates it with STM-4 signal and performs the
control of several laser parameters like modulation current and temperature. Monitoring of these
parameters is performed and communicated to the System Control Unit via the on board
microprocessor PCU. A laser safety shutdown (ALS) is provided in conformance with ITU-T
Rec G.958 to ensure the protection of personnel in case of fibre breaks.
The optical input and output power, the bias current, the modulation current, and the transmit
wavelength are monitored and can be requested from LCT/NCT or NMS. The APD and laser
temperature are also monitored.
After opto-electrical conversion the incoming STM-4 signal is descrambled and demultiplexed
to the VC-4 level and the section overhead is extracted. All traffic related overhead bytes (e.g.
B1, B2, J0, K1, K2, Pointer) are processed on the unit. The OH-bytes designated for EOW/user
channels as well as the data communication channel bytes D1 to D12 are passed to the internal
bus systems OH-Bus and DCC-Bus respectively.
Then the VC-4 signals are forwarded to the working and standby (if equipped) switch plane
consisting of IPU16 and SN64 cards.
In the transmit direction the VC-4 signals are selected from the working or standby IPU16 unit.
Then the section overhead is processed/inserted from the OH-bus, the signals are multiplexed to
the STM-4 level and passed to the laser module.
The new OIS4-2D card supersedes the OIS4D card with release of SMA Series 4.2. It is fully
compatible from electrical and optical parameters point of view. Additionally, the new card
offers enhancement in network performance with two valuable add-on features “Handling of
contiguously concatenated VC-4s”, and “Handling of SONET signals”.
3.2.5 Optical STM-1 Interface OIS1D

For optical STM-1 signals (155 Mb/s) a variety of interfaces are provided for different ranges
and applications (long/short haul). The OIS1D card provides four bidirectional ports, i.e. four
receivers and four transmitters. An equipping of up to 8 cards is possible to achieve a maximum
of 32 optical STM-1 ports..
The STM-1 optical interface unit OIS1D complies with the requirements of ITU-T Rec G.957.
The OIS1D is designed to interface only STM-1 tributary signals. Both the VC-4 monitoring
functions HPOM and HSUM can be arbitrarily configured to supervise the received equipped
VC-4s and supervisory unequipped VC-4s respectively.

The processing on the OIS1D includes the optical to electrical conversion, scrambler and
descrambler pointer processing, MSP facilities, adaptation and monitoring functions.
All traffic related section and path overhead bytes (e.g. B1, B2, J0, K1, K2, Pointer) are
processed on the unit. A number of selectable SOH bytes can be passed to the OH-Bus. Also
DCC access for tributary interfaces is possible via the DCC-Bus.
All unit monitoring and control is done by the onboard PCU.
A redesigned OIS1D card supersedes the current OIS1D card with release of SMA Series 4.2.
The new card is fully compatible from electrical and optical parameters point of view.
Additionally, the new card offers transparency to SONET signals to allow their transmission.
3.2.6 Electrical 155 Mb/s and/or 140 Mb/s Interface EIPS1D (switchable)
For electrical STM-1 signals (155 Mb/s, SDH) and plesiochronous signals of 140 Mb/s (PDH) a
common interface card is provided. This card houses 4 bidirectional ports, i.e. four receivers and
four transmitters. Each single port on the card can be configured to operate as electrical STM-1
or as 140 Mb/s port. An equipping of up to 8 cards is possible to achieve a maximum of 32
working electrical STM-1/140 Mb/s ports.
It is possible to operate two 1:n card protection groups, n = 1, 2, 3. To enable this card protection
it is necessary to equip an EBSLS card for each protection group and one PSUTP card for their
power supply. In this configuration up to 24 working STM-1/140 Mb/s ports are possible.
The incoming signal is regenerated, descrambled and the OH is extracted. All traffic related
section and path overhead bytes (e.g. B1, B2, J0, K1, K2, Pointer/ B3, J1, C2) are processed on
the unit.
A number of selectable SOH bytes can be passed to the OH-Bus. Also DCC access for tributary
interfaces is possible via the DCC-Bus.
The VC-4s are forwarded to the working and standby (if equipped) IPU16 unit for the lower
order signal processing.
In the transmit direction the VC-4 signals are selected from the working or standby IPU16. The
section overhead is processed/inserted from the OH-bus and added to the signal that is then
scrambled and CMI coded.
3.2.7 Gigabit Ethernet Interface Unit ETH1000

The Gigabit Ethernet interface unit (ETH1000) is designed to meet performance requirements of
IEEE 802.3z (Singlemode/Monomode, 1300nm/850nm, Duplex SC). It is used as a one port
Gigabit Ethernet interface (optical front access) and can be seen as a new plug-in unit carrying
the same traffic capacity as a STM-4 tributary card (managed by OS).
Two variants are provided: SX and LX (see chapt. „Interfaces“ and „Optical Planning Data“).

The GBE Interface unit houses the optical module, the GBE Transceiver, the MAC Controller
and a FPGA for POS data processing (HLDC-like-framing, FCS generation, byte stuffing,
scrambling, SDH mapping) being in accordance with ITU G.707 (02/00).
Two modes are provided for Gigabit Ethernet data processing:
Single AU-4-mode providing 155Mbps used for GBE and Quad AU-4-mode providing 622
Mbps used for GBE.
In Single AU4-mode the HDLC framed data packets are mapped in the first AU4 of the
generated STM4 payload. The remaining three AU4s are filled with AU-AIS and not used for
data transmission. The unused AU4s don’t occupy capacity on the switching network. This is
necessary because the S6MD2, which provides the interface to the working and protection
SNL64, expects a proper STM4 signal in any case. In Single AU4-mode the c/v converter must
be switched off.
In Quad AU4-mode a AU4-4c is completely filled with the HDLC framed data packets. This
contiguous concatenated STM4c is transported over the SDH network by converting it to a AU4-
4v (four virtual concatenated AU4s) done by the S6MD2. The SCU-SW has to handle this signal
as an corresponding group Tp.
The mechanism mentioned above allows to scale the SDH capacity (single AU4 or quad AU4)
used for GBE via LCT/NCT or TNMS. This is a important feature, because network providers
don´t want to pay the whole GBE data capacity (up to 1000 Mpbs) as a leased line.
As well Laser Safety function as Signal Detect function (LOS) are implemented on the optical
interface module.
Ethernet Network statistic functions (Performance Management) such as number of good/bad
transmitted packets, buffer overflow TCA, fLinkDown, etc. provided by the MAC controller are
supported by the NE-SW. A far-end flow control is also implemented.
3.2.7 Fast Ethernet Interface Unit ETH100

Also this Ethernet interface provides a full duplex transparent Ethernet link for interconnection
of distributed campus backbones via SDH networks. The ETH100 is an one port card using the
capacity of a single VC-4 (managed by OS).
The Fast Ethernet Interface will be implemented conforming to IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-T. A
datarate of 10 Mbit/s and half-duplex mode are NOT supported. 100BASE-T describes an
interface for twisted pair copper cables of the type/quality category 5, RJ45 (see chapt.
“Interfaces” and “Optical Planning Data”).
The Fast Ethernet module (ETH100) is pretty similar in structure to the Gigabit Ethernet module
(ETH1000).
By means of the Ethernet Trail Termination function the electrical Fast Ethernet signal for full
duplex transmission over the twisted pair cable is formed (i.e. clock recovery, date de/encoding,
data de-/serialization). Additionally statistic functions such as goodPacketsReceived,
badPacketsReceived and goodPacketsTransmitted are supported.

Through the Layer Adaption function the Fast Ethernet signal (MAC packets) are adapted to the
VC-4 Layer via HDLC/LAPS frames and a corresponding C2 byte is added (18H = Mapping of
HDLC/LAPS framed signals). Data buffering, flow control mechanism and POS data processing
are included in this function.
A single error condition “Link Down” originating from the PCS (Physical Coding Sublayer)
transceiver will be reported to the fault management via interrupt/alarm (signal detect).
3.2.8 ETH P4 four port 10/100BT card

This Ethernet card provides four fully IEEE 802.3 compatible interfaces. The interfaces are
autosensing and autonegotiating.
VC-12 and VC-3 mapping is available on this card. Due to the hardware architecture of the card
two of the four ports can be mapped into a VC-3; for the remaining two ports VC-12 mapping is
possible.
A two-step mapping is used, that means the mapping is 10/100BT Î E1 Î VC-12 or 10/100BT
Î E3 Î VC-3.
In practice the data packets (Ethernet frames) coming from these interfaces are processed by an
Ethernet controller and buffered in a packet memory. A HDLC controller will then integrate the
Ethernet frames into HDLC frames that can be mapped synchronously into VC-12 or VC-3
containers. Both interface ports will be fixedly connected to either a VC-12 or VC-3 port of the
Itrachip.
Flow control is impelemented.

3.2.8 Electrical 34 Mb/s and/or 45 Mb/s Interface EI3-3 (switchable)

For plesiochronous signals of 34 and 45 Mb/s (PDH) a common interface card is offered with
product release 4.2. This card houses 3 bidirectional ports, i.e. three receivers and three
transmitters. Each single port on the card can be configured to operate as electrical 34 Mb/s or as

45 Mb/s port. An equipping of up to 6 cards is possible to achieve a maximum of 18 ports for 34
or 45 Mb/s PDH-signals. A 1+1 card protection is possible for up to three groups.
The 34 Mb/s signals are adapted from the C-3 and transmitted as tributary signal. Processing of
HDB3 coded framed 34 Mb/s signals according to ITU-T G.751 and HDB3 coded unframed 34
Mb/s signals (e.g. video signals) is supported.
The 45 Mb/s signals are adapted from the C-3 and transmitted as tributary signal. Processing of
B3ZS coded framed 45 Mb/s signals according to ANSI T1.102 (1993) is supported.
3.2.9 Electrical 2 Mb/s Interface EI2-42

For plesiochronous signals of 2 Mb/s (PDH) an interface card is provided. This card provides 42
bidirectional ports, i.e. 42 receivers and 42 transmitters. An equipping of up to 6 cards is
possible to achieve a maximum of 252 ports for 2 Mb/s PDH-signals. In addition to this a 2 Mb/s
protection card can be equipped into a dedicated slot for 1:N (N ≤ 6) card protection to avoid
single point of failure. There are dedicated cards available for 75 Ohm or 120 Ohm impedance.
The following functions and modes are possible:

• Asynchronous mapping/demapping of a 2 Mb/s signal to a VC-12 (floating mode)
• Provisioning of a 8 kHz clock (derived from 2 Mb/s input) for the SETS
2 Mb/s interface modes:

• Transparent mode
• Structured mode:
− 2 Mb/s port is in accordance to ITU-T G.704 chapter 2.3.
− CRC-4, LOF and AIS detection, ExcBER and (DEG not in first Release) are active
(PCS, Plesiochronous Connection Supervision)
3.2.10 Electrical 2 Mb/s Interface EI2-42P (Protection)

The 2 Mb/s protection card is basically the same as the electrical 2 Mb/s interface card EI2-42
and performs the same functions as described above. In addition this card performs the
protection function. There are dedicated protection cards available for 75 Ohm or 120 Ohm
impedance.
3.2.11 Switching Network and System Clock Unit SN64

The SMA Series 4 provides add-drop functionality via a non-blocking switch for up to 64 STM-
1 equivalents. Thereof 16 are used in applications with SMA4/1 – the single-row subrack. The
switch granularity includes the SDH-layers VC-4, VC-3, VC-2, and VC-12. Possible
connections are Line to Line, Line to Tributary, and Tributary to Tributary.

The Switching Network SN64 performs the routing of the VC-12 to VC-4 containers between
the traffic interfaces and can be duplicated if required. Unidirectional and bi-directional
connections as well as broadcasting and drop-and-continue of traffic are supported.
If an SN64 protection card is equipped an automatic switch-over to the protection card is carried
out in case the working SN64 fails.
All card monitoring, configuration, and control is done by the onboard PCU.
The SN64 also houses the synchronous equipment timing source (SETS functionality). It
synchronises the system from either STM-N (T1) or 2 Mb/s (T2) signal or from one of the two
external 2.048 MHz (or 2.048 Mb/s via external Clock Adapter CLA) clocks (T3). In case of
timing reference failure an internal system clock oscillator is used in hold-over or free run mode
with appropriate accuracy (better than ±4.6 ppm).
The timing reference selection is performed according to the quality level and a user
configurable priority list in automatic mode or in forced mode by either the LCT/NCT or the
NMS. The Synchronisation Status Message Byte S1 handling (Timing Marker) is supported.
The synchronisation HW can be duplicated by fitting a SN64 protection card. Then any failure in
generating the internal system clock T0 leads to an automatic switch-over to the protection
SETS. This switch-over is not hitless and causes a short-time (micro seconds) signal disruption
in the transmitted line and tributary signals.
Please note that in case of the optional 1+1 switch network protection a duplication of all
related IPU16 cards is mandatory.
3.2.12 Timing Reference T3/T4 for 2048 kbit/s (CLA)

The T3/T4 Clock Adapter CLA is an external module installed in the top of the rack and
contains 3 independent and bi-directional clock adaptation channels. Each clock adaptation
channel can be used for the conversion from 2048 kbit/s into 2048 kHz of the T3 clock and 2048
kHz into 2048 kbit/s of the T4 clock of a NE.
A 2048 kbit/s timing reference signal T3/T4 carrying SSM/QL information is supported with an
special common mode DC-transmission superimposed to the 2048 kHz clock signal in balanced
mode between CLA and NE. For further technical data see section 7.1.
The CLA operates with input voltage 48/60V from station power supply in the rack and is
neither supervised nor controlled by a NE.
3.2.13 Internal Processing Unit IPU16

The IPU16 is a card that performs all the signal processing for the lower path-layers VC-12, VC-
2, and VC-3, and for the higher order path layer VC-4. For this eight highly integrated ASICs of
latest technology are utilised. Each ASIC processes two STM-1 equivalents. Therefore, one
IPU16 card enables the connection and processing of 16 x STM-1.
Due to HW re-use, the following monitoring possiblities are given for lower order monitoring:
• Up to 32 free allocatable LPOM or LSUM functions can be enabled per AU-4

The IPU16 card also supports MS- and card-protections towards corresponding interface cards.
MSP or BSHR-mechanisms and card protections of interface cards are supported.
Please note that in case of the optional 1+1 switch network protection a duplication of all related
IPU16 cards is mandatory.
3.2.14 RPR (Resilient Packet Ring)

Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) is a network topology being developed as a new standard for fiber
optic rings (This standard shall be defined in ITU 802.17). RPR is designed to meet the
requirements of a packet-based MAN like guaranteed service quality and bandwidth
management within Service level agreements. RPR is a ring-based architecture that consists of
packet-switching nodes connecting to adjacent nodes over a single fiber pair.
The RPR provides a Layer 2 Switch functionality within the SDH equipment. The RPR is a
Ethernet Ring with a capacity of VC-4 or VC-4 4v. The RPR card has either 4 Fast Ethernet
Ports (Electrical) or one Gigabit Ethernet Port (optical). The RPR card adds the packets to and
drops the Ethernet packets from the ring.

RPR – A Distributed Layer 2 Switch
In principle, RPR uses a SDH ring that connects several SMA 16 Rel 4.3 equipped with the RPR
card. The RPR cards add and drop the packet traffic to the ring. RPR – A Distributed Layer 2
Switch.
For the functionality of the RPR it’s not necessary that every node in the ring is equipped with
the RPR card. For transmitting the packets normal VC-4s within an SDH signal are used, so the
network elements between must only be able to transmit the required bandwidth.

To assure that only the shortest way over the ring is used (bandwidth reuse) each node builds up
MAC address tables (MACAT). This tables contains the information if a certain destination
MAC address can shorter be reached clockwise or counter-clockwise.
In case of an error (e.g. one link down on the ring) the MACATs are modified and all the
Ethernet packets are routed over the intact part of the ring. It’s also possible to use SDH
protection mechanisms (for example BSHR) if available.
One important feature of packet switched networks is the statistical share of bandwidth – the
user doesn’t need the nominal bandwidth all the time. So overbooking is possible, that means the
same bandwidth is shared among different users at different time. On the other hand in some
cases guaranteed bandwidth is necessary.
So two classes of traffic have been defined in RPR: Stream and best effort. “Stream” means that
the booked bandwidth is guaranteed all the time. Here no overbooking is possible. “Best effort”
traffic means that the bandwidth is not guaranteed. Sent packets are transmitted in the best
possible way (depends of the current packet load on the ring). If the bandwidth available is not
sufficient, packets are discarded.
To avoid congestion for best effort traffic (in case too much users send packets at the same time)
flow control will be implemented.
RPR passes the Ethernet frames transparently. There’s no impact on any Layer 3 protocols.

Prerequisite of RPR application is a RPR card positioned in two neighboured tributary slots . Up
to two RPR cards per SMA are available. The RPR card builds up a RPR ring node (RN). A

RPR can have up to 16 ring nodes. For one SMA it is possible either to be member of two rings
or to use both RPR cards for a common ring.
Available RPR Cards

The access of RPR ring is realised by Ethernet ports at the RPR card directly. There are three
types of RPR cards in this release available:
4x10/100BT
1xGbE 850nm
1xGbE 1300nm
Ring Bandwidth
Either 1xVC-4 or 1xVC-4-4v
Ethernet Port Granularity

The actual bandwidth used by a customer at an Ethernet port of RPR card can be configured on
demand, Fast Ethernet port in 1 Mbit/s steps and GbE port in 10 Mbit/s steps.
Framing on Ring
The RPR header does not support frame delineation. This function is done by PPP in HDLC-like
framing as described in RFC1662.
Traffic Classification within RPR

Two traffic classes can be defined on Ethernet port basis to access the RPR: “Stream traffic“
with guaranteed bandwidth and “Best Effort traffic” with overbooking possibility, configurable
peak bandwidth and average bandwidth predictable due to fairness protocol. The bandwidth
configured for “Stream traffic” is permanently reserved – but not permanently used - within the
ring and can be used by “Best Effort traffic”). The “Stream traffic” can be used for example for
SLA contracted bandwidth reservation and even suitable for audio/video streams.
Closed User Group (CUG)

With aid of CUG feature, VPNs (Virtual Private Network) can be built up. Different customers
are strictly separated from each other. Each Ethernet port can be assigned into one CUG. Up to 4
CUGs per RPR Ring Node (respectively RPR card).
MAC Addresses
MAC address learning and MAC address ageing according to IEEE802.1d are implemented in
RPR. MAC address learning is protected against MAC address scan attack from one CUG to
another. Up to 128,000 MAC address entries are possible for one RPR ring node. Each CUG has
its own MAC address table and forms a own broadcast domain. Up to 2000 MAC address entries
are allowed per CUG. Static MAC address entries per RN are supported also to prevent
permanent flooding in case of pure unidirectional traffic.
VLAN Applications
VLAN transparent forwarding is used at each Ethernet port of RPR. This means that different
customers can be separated using VLAN award equipment such as Switch or Router before
connecting to RPR.

Transparency to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
Spanning Tree Protocol is used in Ethernet network to avoid loop in the network. If there is any
ring topology existing in the network the STP disconnects the ring. RPR supports STP in the
way that it transmits the STP protocol (Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDU)) transparently
through the RPR. Switch or router of local end-customer handle blocking and non-blocking of
interfaces. The RPR interfaces are always non-blocking.
Protection Features
RPR utilizes both fibers concurrently for frame transport and to accelerate control signal
propagation for adaptive bandwidth utilization and for self-healing purposes. From this point of
view, RPR and BSHR (Bi-directional self-healing Ring) in the circuit switched world look alike,
except that in RPR no additional bandwidth is reserved for protection reason that lies fallow until
a protection case occurs.
3.2.15 Overhead Access Unit OHA

To support EOW (engineering order wire) and data service channels (V.11, G.703) one overhead
card OHA is provided that also allows versatile POH and SOH access and flexible OHX-
functionality.
The OHA card processes and cross-connects overhead bytes, allowing byte access to the user
and implementing the engineering order wire (EOW). It provides access and throughput of the
SOH bytes of the line and tributary interfaces. The unit receives these bytes via the system's
internal OH-Bus. The onboard Overhead Processing facility (OHP) provides bi-directional cross
connections between selectable OH bytes from any STM-N interface at line or tributary side.
Also a routing of OH-bytes to the auxiliary channel user interfaces is provided. These channels
are accessible at the connector field set back on the upper side of the subrack.
The OHA card provides overhead access to all STM-N interfaces. In case of 1+1 MSP protection
the RSOH is sent separate per link and MSOH is broadcast on both working and protection lines.
For more information on Overhead access and handling, please refer to section 4.2.
3.2.16 System Control Unit SCU-R2E

The System Control Unit (SCU-R2E) provides the central monitoring and control for the system
(SEMF function). It also performs the MCF, i.e. handling the information of F, Q and ECC
interfaces. Internal control is performed via the ICB bus system which connects the SCU
processor unit to the PCU processor units on the cards. A second bus system called Protection
Bus PBUS connects the SCU and the traffic cards. It is used as an "express channel" for the
communication referring to protection switching thus enabling the system to provide fast
switching times. Both buses are parts of the Internal Communication System ICS.
The SCU interfaces to the cards/communicates via the interfaces listed below:
• Traffic and Non-traffic cards (via the Internal Communication System ICS ).
• ECC, Q and F interface (via MCF function).

• Rack and station alarm bus (Relay contacts).
Using these interfaces, the SCU performs the following functions:

• It monitors all the system alarms and extends their states to the network management system
and the rack alarm bus. It will also extend the information to a Local Craft Terminal.
• On request it passes all the system performance information to the network management
system and to the local craft terminal.
• It will configure the system to either default settings or to settings passed to it from the
network management system or the local terminal. The latest settings will always be stored in
non-volatile memory within the system.
• System identity for each card within the system is also available via the SCU.
3.2.17 MIBS-Modules
The SMA16/4 and SMA4/1 has two MIBS-modules in a protection architecture that are part of
the subrack. They are implemented as replaceable units to ease their repair in case of
malfunction. The task of the MIBS-module is to accommodate 4 Mbyte of FEPROM for the
storage of all persistent configuration data handled by the System Control Unit (SCU-R2E).
3.2.18 Optical Amplifier Units OBD and OPD

To bridge extremely long distances integrated optical Boosters (OBD) for STM-4 and STM-16
signals and Pre-amplifiers (OPD) for STM-16 signals are provided. They are based on single
pumped elements.
The booster input can either be connected to an STM-16 line interface card or to an STM-4
tributary card. This is only possible with a high return loss (HRL) cable that is delivered with the
booster.
Optical preamplifiers OPD can be used together with STM-16 interface cards. The
interconnection is only possible with high return loss (HRL) cabling that is delivered together
with OPD.
Please note: There’s no extra booster shelf for the SMA 16 available. When the rack capacity is
exceeded due to usage of booster and preamplifier cards please contact technical sales
department to discuss possible solutions.

3.3 Line and Tributary Access Capacities
3.3.1 Equipping of SMA16/4

The line and tributary access capacities are related to the cross-connection capacity of the
switching matrix (SN64 card) and to internal traffic connection assignment limitations. For the
equipping of the four line slots L#1 to L#4 this leads to the precondition that for all equipped
STM-16 cards (OIS16* = OIS16D or OIS16-2D) the sum of AU-4 channels assigned for
working traffic must not exceed 32. With the assignment rules that
• an OIS16* card in 'Working' mode assigns 16 AU-4s,
• an OIS16* card in 'MS-Protection' mode assigns 0 AU-4 (no extra traffic provided),
• an OIS16* card in 'BSHR-2 West or East' mode assigns 8 AU-4s (no extra traffic provided)
the following combinations of OIS16* cards are supported in the first product release:
Application L#1 L#2 L#3 L#4

The architecture of the SMA16/4 allows for high-capacity tributary access. The table below
shows the maximum number of usable tributary interfaces to connect PDH and SDH signals. Up
to 12 units (Cards) in versatile mixing can be housed in the subrack. The greyed types are
subject to a product release beyond SMA16/4 S4.2. Please regard the limitations described
below.

Please note the following two details on the tributary equipping:
1. The three LBT slots 402, 403, 404 (see figure 9 in section 5.2) share their capacity on the
switching matrix (SN64) with the HBT of the mixed LBT/HBT slot 405. Therefore, any
tributary slot from the set {402, 403, 404} can only be equipped with an LBT-type interface
card {EI2-42, EI3-3, ETH P4} if the slot 405 is not to be equipped with an HBT-type
interface card {EIPS1D, OIS1D, OIS4D, OIS4-2D, ETH 100, ETH 1000}. Or vice versa, the
tributary slot 405 can only be equipped with an HBT-type interface card {EIPS1D, OIS1D,
OIS4D, OIS4-2D, ETH 100, ETH 1000} if any tributary slot from the set {402, 403, 404} is
not to be equipped with an LBT-type interface card {EI2-42, EI3-3, ETH P4}.
Example: It is not possible to operate an EI2-42 in slot 402, 403, or 404 and an EIPS1D in
slot 405 at the same time.
2. A second limitation applies to the two LBT/HBT slots 406 and 411. When slot 406 is
equipped with a HBT-type interface card {EIPS1D, OIS1D, OIS4D, OIS4-2D, ETH 100,
TTH 1000} then slot 411 can not be equipped with an LBT-type interface card {EI2-42, EI3-
3, ETH P4}.
Conclusion: To avoid the above mentioned two limitations with SMA16/4 as far as possible, the
equipping of HBT-type interface cards at the LBT/HBT positions 405 and 406 should be avoided
as long as not necessarily required. Therefore it is recommended to equip LBT-type interface
cards from the left to the right, and HBT-type interface cards from the right to the left.
Apart from taking a free slot, optical Boosters or Preamplifiers do not cause any further
limitation on the equipping of the subrack.

3.3.2 Equipping of SMA4/1
The SMA4/1 allows for the equipping of up to 9 slots for traffic ports. Two of the slots (409 and
408) are assigned to HBT type interfaces (EIPS1D, OIS1D, OIS4*), six slots (407 to 402) are
shared LBT/HBT slots , and one slot (401) is dedicated to the protection card for the 1:n 2 Mb/s
card protection.
The flexible architecture of the SMA4/1 allows for versatile traffic port access. The table below
shows the maximum number of usable traffic interfaces to connect PDH and SDH signals. Up to
9 units (used as Line or Tributary Cards) in versatile mixing can be housed in the subrack. The
greyed types are subject to a product release SMA4/1 Rel. 4.3. Please regard the limitation
described below.

w: Working p: Protection OIS4* = OIS4D or OIS4-2D
Please note the following equipping limitation for SMA4/1:

The two slots 406 and 409 share their capacity on the switching matrix (SN64) with respect to
the provisioning mode “working” HBT. Therefore, HBT cards like EIPS1D, OIS1D or OIS4* in
slot 406 and 409 are mutual exclusive as “working”.
Consequence: This means that an SNCP protected ring with optical STM-1 or STM-4 “Line
cards” in slot 408 and 409 excludes a working EIPS1, OIS1D, or OIS4* card in slot 406, but
BSHR-2 or MSP protection schemes established in slots 408/409 do not affect the equipping of
slot 406.
Apart from taking a free slot, optical Boosters (OBD) do not cause any further limitation on the
equipping of the SMA4/1 subrack.
3.4 Upgrading of SMA Series 4 Network Elements
There are different upgrade opportunities within the SMA Series 4 product family.
To avoid unauthorized upgrade within the SMA 4.3 family (i.e. upgrade to SMA 16 without
buying the SMA 16 licence) a key code is necessary for upgrading an SMA 4 to an SMA 16.
Basically the following upgrade facilities are supported:
Increase the number of traffic interfaces

Both SMA16/4 and SMA4/1 network elements can be upgraded by adding more line or tributary
cards. This can be done without affecting the existing traffic in the network.
Upgrade STM-1, 4, 16 rings with additional node(s)

This can be done without loss of traffic by forcing traffic with SNCP or BSHR protection, where
applicable, in the protected path of the ring. Only short traffic interruptions are incurred for the
time of forced protection switching (< 50 ms).
SW-Updates/Upgrades with new features

Download of a new embedded Software version (APS) supporting the enhanced or new features
into the Network Element(s) and reboot to activate the new Software will not affect the traffic.
This can be done locally with Local Craft Terminal (LCT) or remotely with Network Craft
Terminal (NCT) or Management System TNMS. For fall back reasons, the former Software
version is still kept in the NE.
Upgrade SMA16/4 from STM-4 to STM-16 application

The SMA16/4 (double-row subrack) is perfectly suitable for both high-capacity STM-4 and
STM-16 network applications. Once established for STM-4 applications, it can easily be
upgraded later to a full functional STM-16 Multiplexer by simply adding the required number of
STM-16 line cards (up to four) in the dedicated slots and downloading the Software upgrade to
enable the new STM-16 features. This can be done without affecting the existing traffic in the
network.
To avoid unauthorized upgrade (i.e. without buying the SMA 16 licence) a key code is necessary
for upgrading an SMA 4 to an SMA 16.

4 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
4.1 Controller Architecture

The system control and monitoring is performed by a distributed architecture of interconnected
micro-processors in a two level hierarchy, see figure 7 below. All alarm, status and control
information is processed on each individual slide-in unit by an on-board microprocessor called
Peripheral Control Unit (PCU). The main system controller, the Synchronous Control Unit
(SCU-R2E), controls the entire network element and provides interfaces to a local and remote
Operating System. Each PCU communicates with the SCU-R2E or with neighbouring PCUs
using the Internal Communication System ICS = ICB + PBUS.
The information gathered by the SCU-R2E is exchanged with the Network Management system
via the network management Q interface using the MCF function. The Q interface is a G.773 B3
interface with high speed Ethernet access (10 Mb/s). The SCU-R2E also provides an F interface
to connect a Local Craft Terminal (LCT).
For feature enhancements or debugging, software download is possible for all units of the
system. During download the traffic is not affected.

4.2 Overhead Access and Handling
All traffic related OH-bytes as A1, A2, J0, B1, B2, K1, K2, and AU-Pointer (H1,Y, H2, 1*, H3)
are extracted and inserted on the respective interface units. The SOH-bytes used for EOW or
user (auxiliary) channels are to be passed via the internal "OH-Bus" system to the overhead
access card OHA for data processing. Therefore to operate an EOW and/or to utilise user
channel interfaces G.703, V.11 an OHA card is mandatory.
Note: The D1 to D12 bytes are not handled on the OHA card. They are transported via the DCC-
busses to the MCF-function located on the system control unit (SCU-R2E card).
The following SOH and POH bytes are handled within SMA Series 4 equipment:
SOH VC-4/3 POH VC-2/12 POH

NU NU
A1 A1 A1 A2 A2 A2 J0 J1 V5
NU
B1 E1 F1 NU B3 J2

D4 D5 D6 H4
D7 D8 D9 F3
D10 D11 D12 K3
S1 Z1 Z1 Z2 Z2 M1 E2 NU NU N1
Only the yellow (grey) highlighted bytes are accessible by means of the OH-Bus for the use of
Timing Marker : S1,
Engineering Order Wire : E1 or E2,
User channels (G.703, V.11) : F1, NU, Z1, Z2, (3,8), (6,2), (6,3) and F2, F3 of VC-4 POH.
Please note: In case of STM-N signals only the SOH of the first STM-1#1 is possible. The
utilisation of the bytes F2 and F3 of VC-4/3 POH is only possible for VC-4 in conjunction with
the electrical tributary card EIPS1D in 140 Mb/s PDH mode.
4.2.1 EOW Processing

The SMA Series 4 EOW processing supports a telephone link to one or more remote network
elements by using the RSOH byte E1 and the MSOH byte E2 for communication. The first
product release provides only one single EOW conference. In a later release two EOW
conferences will be supported. EOW in chain as well as in ring configurations is supported. For
ring configurations an EOW ring manager is provided to suppress EOW loops.
A 2-wire DTMF handset (as in SL16 R2 systems) is used. It provides a DTMF keypad (keys: 0
to 9, *, #), a DTMF transmitter and a build-in ringer.

EOW Capabilities:
• up to 58 subscribers can participate simultaneously at the conferences of one OHA card
• physical access to conference via E1, E2, 2-wire handset
• 4-wire E&M and G.703 interfaces
• collective, group and selective calling capability
• DTMF - handset with ringer. Connector provided for additional external ringer
• visual signalling of EOW status per LED
• A-law PCM coding according to G. 711
4.2.2 Overhead Cross-Connect Functionality (OHX)

The overhead cross-connect capacity of the OHA card is 64 unidirectional (32 bi-directional) 64
kbit/s channels, but not every connection requires cross-connection capacity. This results in a
versatile OHX functionality that allows for flexible cross-connections between the following
OH-bytes (see also graphical representation in section 4.2):
RSOH = E1, F1, NU (2,8), unused (3,8),
MSOH = E2, Z1, Z2, NU (9,8) (9,9), unused (6,2) (6,3)
VC-4 POH = F2, F3 (former Z3)
For all these bytes cross-connections are possible according to the following table:
RSOH MSOH POH G.703 V.11 EOW
RSOH x x x x x 1) x (E1)
MSOH x x x x x 1) x (E2)
POH x x x x x 1)
G.703 x x x x
RM x (E1) x (E2) x
E&M #1 x (fixed)
E&M #2 x (fixed)
1) These connections do not use up OHA cross-connect capacity
RM Ring Manager
E&M 4-wire Ear & Mouth interface
Please note: Cross-Connections concerning the VC-4 POH bytes (F2, F3) are only possible in
case the EIPS1D card is used in the 140 Mb/s PDH mode.
4.2.3 Interfaces for User Channels (Auxiliary Interface)

These interfaces can be used as inputs and outputs to transmit or receive user data carried in
particular OH bytes. The SMA Series 4 features all in all six auxiliary interfaces, that is two
G.703 and four V.11 interfaces with a bitrate of 64 kbit/s each.
Please note: The number of G.703 interfaces available depends on the number of external alarm
contacts used as each group of eight such contacts requires one G.703 interface for operation.

4.3 Supervision and Alarm Facilities
4.3.1 Methodology
All units of the SMA Series 4 are supervised by the microprocessor-controlled supervision
system outlined in section 4.1. The design philosophy is in accordance with ITU-T Rec. G.781 to
G.784 and ETSI ETS 300 417 and comprises Fault, Configuration, Performance, and Security
(Access) Management.
4.3.2 Local Craft and Network Craft Terminal (LCT/NCT)

The Local Craft Terminal (LCT) is the tool for installation, (re)configuration, on-site
maintenance and service purposes. It allows access to all configurable system parameters via a
suitable graphical user interface (GUI). Also a simplified network control layer (NCT mode) is
available that allows small sub-networks to be monitored. The NCT mode represents all
connected network elements as a coloured symbol (e.g. a circle). The colour of these symbols
will change according to the received alarm status. A double click on one of the symbols will
automatically start the respective local craft application for further fault analysis.
LCT/NCT has the following characteristics:

• (simple) network control mode (NCT- mode) as a cost effective solution for managing small
networks (approximately 50 network elements) by providing fault management capability
(typical application: small, isolated local/city network)
• supports performance/fault and configuration management in local mode (LCT - mode)
• F interface (9,6 kbit/s) or Q interface (10 Mb/s)
• remote login into any reachable network element. So, even using an LCT, is possible to
configure a remote element in case its NSAP address is already configured.
• security management: authentication, automatic time-out
• off-line mode for software testing and preparing command sequences
• setting of cross-connections and loopbacks for service purposes
• open SW architecture: Windows NT at the PC running LCT/NCT is used.
• network elements SW management: software download to local and to remote network
element
4.3.3 External User Alarms (TIF)

The SMA16/4 provides 16 external user alarm interfaces in two groups of eight via a separate
TIF (Telemetry Interface) device not part of the subrack and in addition two direct external
alarm inputs available at the connector panel. This TIF device may be equipped at the top of the
rack or due to the electrical characteristics of the used G.703 interfaces for the interconnection to
the OHA card, it can also be located somewhere else in a far distance to the rack. In case of
SMA4/1 the TIF is a module that can be equipped directly into the top of the subrack.
Note: The utilisation of the TIF requires one G.703 interface of the OHA card for each group of
eight alarm inputs/outputs to be connected. In case of using all 16 external alarm inputs/outputs
none of the two G.703 interfaces is left for other purposes! The interfaces can be accessed via

two Sub-D connectors at the connector panel whereby one G.703 interface and two V.11
interfaces use the same connector.
4.3.4 Bw7R Interface

Failures signalled by any card are processed by the SCU-R2E and are forwarded to different
alarm interfaces as shown in figure 7-a below:

4.4 Timing and Synchronisation
The timing and synchronisation circuitry is located on switching network (SN64 card). To avoid
single point of failure and to improve system availability, an optional duplication of the
synchronisation hardware is possible by simply equipping the protection SN64 card. It should be
noted that T0-clock protection switching is not hitless in any case.
The SMA Series 4 allows the following four types of timing references for synchronisation:
• Any received STM-16 line or any STM-N tributary signal (via internal T1-bus).
• Any received 2 Mb/s PDH signal (via internal T2-bus).
• A 2.048 kHz signal according G.703, quality of G.811 or G.812 (via external T3).
• A 2.048 Mb/s signal (at T3 via external hardware with SSM)
• An internal oscillator for hold-over mode (accuracy better than ±4.6 ppm).
Functionality:
• Support of Synchronous Status Message handling (SSM Byte S1) on all STM-N line or
tributary interfaces
• Provisioning of an automatic selection mechanism by evaluation of quality and priority of the
T0/T4 timing sources
• Provisioning of a forced mode (fix selection of one timing source for T0/T4)
• A priority list of up to 6 timing references (2 x T3, 2 x T1/T2, 2 x T1) can be configured for
the use of potential timing sources to derive the internal system clock T0.
• A priority list of up to 4 timing references (2 x T1/T2, 2 x T1) can be configured for the use
of potential timing sources to generate the external clock output T4.

In order to provide reliable traffic transmission within SDH networks, the following table
defines the traffic protection architectures supported for the respective traffic signals and
describes for which card types and subrack slots these architectures are implemented. For the
protection control the external commands “Clear”, “Lockout protection” and “Forced to
Protection” according to G.841 are supported by the LCT/NCT and OS.

Supply power feeds

Switchover is based on in-service supervision routines on the working and the protection card
and is initialised automatically but can also be done from the NMS or from the Local Craft
Terminal.
The MSP protection mentioned above is combined with card protection, so the traffic is
protected both against fibre breaks and card failures.
4.6 Software / Firmware

Each card has an on-board micro-controller for the purpose of monitoring, controlling, and
maintaining status information. It is programmed with embedded firmware held in EPROMs.
A software download facility is available for all units. The download is provided via Element
Manager or Local Craft Terminal.
The internal configuration database of the system can be up - and downloaded. It is stored
redundantly and is resilient to any card failure.
It is possible to replace or introduce additional cards in a working multiplexer without affecting
other traffic or causing any other malfunction. Where card functionality is enhanced, this will be
done by means of software download to the card.
4.7 Automatic Laser Shutdown

To eliminate any danger to personnel due to laser light emerging from an interrupted link (e.g. a
fibre break), the SMA Series 4 has a laser safety shutdown feature which automatically switches
off the laser source of the faulty line section in accordance with ITU-T Recommendation G.958.
If the signal at the optical receiver is missing, the laser source for the opposite direction is shut
down, thus taking the faulty section out of service. The laser source is then activated cyclically.
When the receiver again receives a valid signal, the laser transmitter of the opposite direction is
immediately returned to service. Switching on the internal power supply voltage or power
restoration following a blackout at the operating station automatically reactivates the laser source
without delay for a short period as soon as permissible operating conditions have been re-
established. The automatic return to service of the link is thus initiated.
For continuos laser operation the laser safety shutdown mechanisms can be completely disabled.
4.8 Forward Error Correction (FEC) for STM-16

FEC is used to improve the STM-16 link performance, i.e. to reduce the bit error rate, by
correcting bit errors that occur due to insufficient signal-to-noise ratio at the receive side of the
transmission line.
Two types of FEC are known, the “Inband FEC” and the “Outband FEC”. Inband FEC makes
use of the unused bytes within the SOH to transmit the FEC parity bytes to the receive side, for
which the signal bitrate remains unchanged. Outband FEC reaches an higher improvement in
BER but uses an extra Overhead for the FEC bytes what leads to an increased transmission
bitrate.

With SMA16/4 the “Inband FEC” is used and provided with the new STM-16 interface types
OIS16-2D. Here, the following power budget improvements are achieved with the applied
inband FEC at a reference BER of 10-12 :
1.5dB without Preamplifier

3.0dB with Preamplifier
4.9 Concatenation Converter

In order to provide clear channels for the transport of signal capacities exceeding 155 Mb/s, for
example ATM/IP services, over any existing or new SDH network, SMA Series 4 offers with the
Release 4.2 new STM-4 and STM-16 interfaces (OIS4-2D, OIS16-2D) that provide conversion
from contiguously concatenated signals to virtual concatenated signals, and vice-versa. This
concatenation feature can be activated locally via LCT or remotely via NCT or TNMS.
Please note, that FEC and “Concatenation Conversion” are mutual exclusive on the same
interface port, i.e, a contiguously concatenated signal can not be enhanced for transmission by
FEC.
4.10 SONET Interworking

SDH/SONET interoperability opens the door to new business opportunities such as the entrance
to the North American Market with its pure SONET networks or building up connection to Edge
or Core routers, equipped with SONET interfaces.
While the ETSI SDH multiplexing structure uses AU-4 only, ANSI SONET uses AU-3 (STS-1)
for the transport of Low Order Containers (TU-3/2/12/11), and in order to transport ultra high
bandwidth channels (e.g. ATM), it uses also AU-4 (STS-3c).
By means of a Software configurable AU-4/AU-3 pointer evaluation and processing (ss-bits) the
SDH-based TransXpress network elements SMA Series 4 now offer the following SONET
transparent intefaces:
• OC3 containing STS-3c (OIS1D)
• OC12 containing 4 x STS-3c or 1 x STS-12c (OIS4-2D)
• OC48 containing mixtures of STS-3c and STS-12c or 1 x STS-48c (OIS16-2D)
Concerning SONET compatibility the following recommendations and restrictions apply to the
Section and Path Overhead SOH and POH:
• BIP-process Calculation only according to SDH (Block Error)
• J0 Processing according to SDH (16 byte); can be switched off by SW
• SSM SSM (Synchronization Status Message) works only according to SDH,
therefore Synchronization with SONET is not supported.

• AU-4 PTR Interworking is provided for above mentioned OIS-cards (not with STM-1 el.)
• J1 Processing according to SDH (16 byte); can be switched off by SW
• N1 TCM (Tandem Connection Monitoring) is not supported
• G1 Enhanced RDI (Remote Defect Indication) is not supported
DCN interworking with other vendors equipment should be avoided.
4.11 SMA Series 4 Management

The SMA Series 4 can be managed by the operator either from a local or remote management
system, Local Craft Terminal and Network Management System (NMS), respectively. In
addition, Network Craft Terminal management is also supported.
The following management functions are supported:
• Configuration,
• Fault,
• Performance,
• Maintenance,
• Security (within NE and at OS/LCT),
• Access.
4.11.1 Local Management (LCT)
An F-interface (RS232) is provided for direct connection of the Local Craft Terminal which is an
IBM compatible Personal Computer.
The Local Craft Terminal software is a Windows NT based application for keyboard and mouse
operation. The operator access is password protected to ensure that the SMA database is not
accessed/altered by unauthorised users.
4.11.2 Remote Management
A Q-interface (Ethernet) is provided for remote management of the SMA Series 4. The remote
management can be either by a Network Craft Terminal or a Network Management System
(NMS) and is realised by using the embedded DCCm or DCCr communication channels between
the "Gateway" SMA (the NE connected to the NCT/NMS via Ethernet link) and the other NEs
that belong to the same sub-network, as shown on Figure 8, below.
IS-IS routing mechanism is used to provide DCC channel protection from network interruptions.
The Local Craft Terminal hardware platform with addition of an Ethernet compatible modem is
used as a Network Craft Terminal by using the appropriate Network Software Application.

4.12 Fault Management
A comprehensive Fault Management function supervising the correct function of all of hardware
and software modules within the network element as well as monitoring the integrity of all
incoming data signals is deployed in the SMA Series 4. The failures and their processing is
classified into transmission (burst model) and equipment failures. Additionally external alarm
contacts are supported that can be used for signalling in-station alarms.
Failures are reported to the connected Management System and can also be forwarded to the
BW7R interface for visual signalling via the alarm display of the subrack and for connection to a
central monitoring centre.
The following tasks are carried out by the Fault Management function:
• To detect anomalies and to report some of them to the Performance Management function.
• To derive defects by eliminating spurious anomalies and to report some of them to the
Performance Management function.
• To trigger automatic maintenance actions such as ALS, protection switching, AIS insertion,
far end defect indications etc...
• To process operator controlled maintenance actions.
• To perform alarm reduction through correlation of defects.
• To assign severity levels to BW7R alarm events (static table).
• To time stamp alarm events using the system real time clock.
• To issue spontaneous alarm event notifications to the local/remote management systems.

• To report alarms to the local alarm system.
• To indicate fault state of replaceable units.
• To store alarm events in historical event log and the alarm status in a current problem list.
• To support fault location for diagnostic purposes and to assist in maintenance.
4.13 Performance Management
In addition to the Fault Management function described above a Performance Management

function is also implemented in the SMA Series 4. The following functions are carried out as
part of the Performance Management function:
• Performance monitoring (PM), near end and far end
• Inquiry of current PM values
• Inquiry of the previous PM values
• Threshold crossing notification (TCN)
• Inquiry of the currently raised TCN states
The following performance entities are monitored:

• Background block errors (BBE)
• Errored seconds (ES)
• Severely errored seconds (SES)
• Unavailable time (UAT)
• Pointer Justification Events (AU-4 PJE)
The values of the above performance entities are accumulated for 15 min and 24 hour time
periods and stored in performance logs. Sixteen 15 min performance reports and three 24 hour
performance reports are permanently stored in FIFO principle and can be retrieved at any time.
On the Ethernet cards the following packet performance values are monitored:
ETH P4 card:
Counter for collisions in half-duplex mode, 15 min intervals
SDH performance monitoring on the SDH path (VC-3 / VC-12) is also implemented.
ETH100D, ETH1000D:
Packet performance values in 15min/24h intervalls for:
- Bad packets received
- Good packets received
- Good packets sent
SDH performance monitoring on the SDH path (VC-4) is also implemented.
RPRN-A:

- Good packets sent
Packet performance measurement is done on the ring and on the tributary ports.
SDH performance monitoring on the SDH path (VC-4) on the ring is also implemented.
4.14 Power Supply

The power supply voltage can be fed in duplicate to the rack and subrack. Each slide-in unit has
an on board power supply (PSU). The nominal supply voltage is 48/60 Vdc, and the minimum
and maximum input voltage is 40.5 Vdc and 75 Vdc respectively. The PSU circuits meet the
requirements of EN 60950 (issue Sept. 1994) and ETS 300132-2.
Each separate equipment plug-in-unit is equipped with a power converter which provides all
necessary supply voltages to the specific card. The power converter is connected to two
independent battery feeds. To prevent noise disturbance and mutual interference, each plug-in-
unit is supplied with appropriate filtering. To protect other units against insertion/extraction
transients the power supplies feature a soft start-up facility. In case both supply voltages fail, a
local alarm indication is still possible via a separate supervision circuitry (separate power feed
input available).

5 EQUIPMENT PRACTICE
5.1 Rack Design and Multiple Subrack Mounting
The rack used for SMA Series 4 meets the metric standard design specified in ETS 300119-3.
The dimensions of the rack are as follows:
Height = 2200 mm,
Width = 600 mm,
Depth = 300 mm.
If required it is permissible to mount more than one SMA16/4 double-row subrack or SMA4/1
single-row subrack in one rack framework, see figure 9 below, however consideration must be
given to:
1. The maximum permissible power dissipation allowed in the customer’s premises,
2. The maximum rise in temperature under which the upper SMA Series 4 will operate,
3. The climatic limits according to ETS 300 019 class 3.1e that includes a working range of
time operating at different humidities and temperatures,
4. The reduced MTBF resulting from continuous operation at elevated temperature,
5. Forced air cooling (fan unit).
In case the SMA16/4 subrack is to be operated with forced air cooling (fan unit required, when
power dissipation exceeds 380 W) only one subrack can be mounted in a rack with the 200mm
high connector panel (T20-0.1)
There’s a rack wit a new, flat connector panel (T20-0.10). With this new panel it’s possible to
mount two subracks with fan in one single rack (in this case one CLA is possible. No TIF is
possible in the same rack).
SMA16/4: Heat is normally emitted by natural convection. Therefore continuous operation at

maximum ambient temperature (45 °C) is not recommended without forced cooling. It is
expected that continuous operation would be at ambient temperatures less than 35 °C but
operation up to the maximum is allowable for short periods (hours). If the temperature within the
subrack is to exceed component specifications, applicable standards or customer requirements an
optional fan unit has to be mounted for forced cooling. Baffles between two SMA16/4 subracks
are not possible.
SMA4/1: Heat is emitted by natural convection. No forced cooling is required for operation at
maximum ambient temperature (45 °C) according to ETS 300 019 class 3.1e.
On the front side of the rack there are two ESD jacks for ground connection of operating staff.

The subrack provides two rows for the equipping of slide-in units, see figure 10. The mounting
slots for a versatile and flexible card equipping are numbered from 401 to 417 in the upper row
and 501 to 512 in the lower row. Figure 10 shows also the relation between the IPU16 cards and
the respective line and tributary slots. As can be seen, there are always two working IPU16 cards
necessary for the operation of line cards (black dots in lower row).
In the connector area the mounting positions 201 to 206 are reserved for connecting 2/34/45
Mb/s (SIPAC connectors), and the positions 207 to 214 are slots to mount the LTUS in case of
140/155 Mb/s electrical signals. All external connectors are front access. The positions 210, 214
(for EBSLS) and 215 (for PSUTP) are dedicated to the two EIPS1D card protection groups.

6 MAINTENANCE and COMMISSIONING
6.1 Maintenance Philosophy

The equipment alarm and monitoring philosophy is to provide sufficient status information to
enable fault localisation on a replaceable unit level. A major design benefit is that no regular
maintenance adjustments are necessary during equipment lifetime.
Maintenance actions like fault location or configurations can easily be performed locally via
LCT or remotely by means of NMS.
6.2 Monitoring Points and Self Test

Several test monitor points are provided for in-service monitoring of received or transmitted
traffic signals as follows:
• one coax 75 Ohms female 1.0/2.3 connector for each of the four electrical 140 Mb/s / STM-1
output signals of the EIPS1D card,
• one monitor point (connector C22334-Z2-C519) for one 2 Mb/s input and output port is
implemented on the EI2-42 card. The port number to be monitored (one out of 42) has to be
selected via LCT / OS,
• one coax 75 Ohms female 1.0/2.3 connector pair for one of the three electrical 34 / 45 Mb/s
input and output signals of the EI3-3 card. The port number to be monitored has to be selected
via LCT / OS,
• in-service monitoring points for optical traffic ports are not supported.
Status information of the optical interfaces such as transmitted laser power, received optical
power, bias current, modulation current and transmit wavelength or loss of signal etc. can be
requested via the central controller and LCT/NCT or NMS.
During start-up the SMA Series 4 network elements perform extensive HW and SW self-tests.
Even during operation the correctness of HW and SW is continuously monitored and alarmed in
case of failure.
6.3 Performance Monitoring

In-service performance monitoring is carried out by processing the Error Monitoring Bytes B1,
B2, M1, B3, G1, V5 included in the signals received at SDH interfaces. The error information,
both near-end and far-end, is passed to the system control unit SCU-R2E that calculates the
relevant line error rates and related performance parameters according to ITU-T G.826. All
gathered and accumulated performance information ,if enabled, can be requested from the NMS
or an LCT/NCT (retrieve performance log).

6.4 Loops and PRBS Injection
Loops are supported on VC-12, 2, 3, or 4 level within the switching network through
unidirectional cross-connections.
Every outgoing 2 Mb/s signal can be looped back to the mapping direction (i.e. substituting the
related 2 Mb/s input signal) by LCT /OS command. In case of an activated 2 Mb/s loop, AIS is
not inserted into the outgoing 2 Mb/s signal.
For 34 /45 Mb/s independent inward and outward loops are supported. Inward loop means that
the outgoing 34 Mb/s or 45 Mb/s signal can be looped back to the mapping direction, and
outward loop means that the received 34 Mb/s or 45 Mb/s signal can be directly looped back to
the signal line again by substituting the normal transmitter signal.
PRBS injection is not implemented. However, commercial test gear can be used at normal traffic
ports to feed in individual test signals into an SDH network.
6.5 Equipment Inventory Data

The inventory data of SMA Series 4 are to identify the build state of hardware components and
software releases and serves also for additional maintenance and customer specific purposes.
The inventory data are therefore subdivided into three main part:
• Hardware inventory data (read / write access). For each slide-in unit, the system controller
and the subrack 256 bytes are reserved for programming and requesting information like
hardware version, release and serial number, manufacturing date, and so on. From these 256
bytes, 5 bytes are allocated for hardware maintenance purposes to program the number of
repairs and its last repair date.
• Software inventory data (read access only). For each slide-in unit and for the system
controller 106 bytes are allocated for requesting the version and releases of soft- and firmware
running on each card and in the system itself. The specific code is a fixed part of any soft- or
firmware release and is programmed during its production.
• Customer specific inventory data (read / write access). For each slide-in unit, the subrack
and the system controller 128 bytes are reserved for customer specific programming purposes.

7.6 Environmental Conditions
Climatic Conditions
Operation In compliance with ETS 300 019-1-3, class 3.1e, -5 °C to + 45 °C

Note: Heat is normally extracted by natural convection. Therefore
continuous operation at maximum ambient temperature (45 °C) is not
allowed without forced cooling when the calculated power dissipation
exceeds 380 W. It is expected that continuous operation would be at
ambient temperatures less than 35 °C but operation up to the maximum is
allowable for short periods (hours). If the temperature within the subrack is
to exceed component specifications, applicable standards or customer
requirements an optional fan unit has to be mounted for forced cooling.
