2.2.1. Workflow to configure a VC4 service
Workflow
The 10SD10G and 24SDM cards support STH port group mode, which provides STM line interfaces and a VC4 based
interface toward the backplane. SDH switching and transport over OTN is achieved by using an optical fiber connection
between the TDM client and optical client/line cards.
Process
1 Configure TDM cards on an 1830 PSS OCS device by choosing TDM cards as the assigned card type. See Procedure
98: To configure a card on an OCS shelf .
2 Configure VC4 substructures. For example, if you need to create a VC44C or a VC416C service, configure the sub
structures appropriately. See Procedure 121: To bind and collapse VC4 substructures .
3 Configure the VC4 service in a bottomup or topdown approach.
a. Configure the VC4 service in a bottomup approach.
1. Configure 1+1 MSP groups on the ports involved in the service hops, if required. See Procedure 125: To
configure a 1+1 MSP group .
Note:
After the service is created, click on the APS Groups tabs of the Optical Transport Service (Edit) form to view
the VCn APS groups and 1+1 MSPs involved in the service.
2. If required, configure the VC4 crossconnects. See VCn crossconnects .
3. Configure an STM trail before configuring a VC4 service with underlying asymmetric ODU trails. See
Procedure 123: To configure an unprotected STM trail .
4. Configure the VC4 service. See Procedure 124: To configure a VC4 service .
b. Configure the VC4 service in a topdown approach.
1. Configure an HOODU trail between optical client/line cards on the termination sites of the service. See
Procedure 131: To configure an ODU trail .
2. Configure the VC44 service. See Procedure 124: To configure a VC4 service .
Note:
The underlying trails are created automatically.
2.2.2. VC4 substructures
Overview
The ports with STM rates are further subdivided into administrative units or AUs. These administrative units can be bound
together to form virtual containers. See Procedure 121: To bind and collapse VC4 substructures.

2.2.4. VCn crossconnects
Overview
The 5620 SAM allows you to configure VCn crossconnects using the VC4 substructures. You can also add protection or
remove protection from the crossconnects. See Procedure 123: To configure an unprotected STM trail .

2.2.6. Procedure 123: To configure an unprotected STM trail
When to use
An STM trail is created between STM ports of TDM cards.
Before you begin
Before you create an STM trail between two ports with STM rates, perform the following:
Create an optical link between the STM port of the TDM card and the STM port of an optical client/line card on both
Site A and Site Z ends.
Create an HOODU trail between the two sites from one ODUPOOL to the other.
Steps
1 Choose Create→STM Trail from the 5620 SAM main menu. The STM Trail (Create) form opens.
2 Configure the required parameters under the General tab.
3 Rightclick on the Sites object on the navigation tree and choose Create Trail Site. The Select Network Elements form
opens.
4 Choose two network elements and click OK. The Site A End and Site Z End objects are listed in the navigation tree.
5 Rightclick on the Site A End object and choose Create Trail Termination Point. The Select Termination Point form
opens.
6 Choose the required termination point from the list and click OK. The termination point is listed under the Site A End
object on the navigation tree.
Note: Confirm the prerequisites as indicated at the beginning of this procedure to have the possible termination
points listed in the Select Termination Point form.
7 Perform Step 5 to Step 6 to configure the Site Z end termination point.
8 Click Apply to save the changes.
9 Expand Trail Paths to view the underlying STM, LOODU, HOODU, and OTU trails.
10 Close the form.

2.2.7. Procedure 124: To configure a VC4 service
When to use
You can create a VC4 service in a topdown or bottomup approach. In a topdown scenario, configure an HOODU trail
between the sites, and configure the service between the TDM cards. The underlying STM and LOODU trails are created
automatically. In a bottomup scenario, create the LOODU, STM, and HO_ODU trails, and then configure a VC4 service
using these trails.

2.3. 1+1 MSP group
Overview
Procedure 125: To configure a 1+1 MSP group
2.3.1. Overview
Introduction
You can configure 1+1 multiplex section protection group on 10SD10G or 24SDM card ports configured with rates STM1,
STM4, STM16, or STM64. Each of the paired ports in the group must have the same STM rate.
The ports can be on the same card or on different cards on the same device. The protection group supports unidirectional
and nonrevertive switching. See Procedure 125: To configure a 1+1 MSP group . See AlcatelLucent 1830 PSS Product
Information and Planning Guide for more information about 1+1 MSP groups.

2.4. SDH line timing synchronization
Overview
Procedure 126: To configure an SDH line timing synchronization
2.4.1. Overview
Introduction
The capability to synchronize the system to line timing reference transmission ports is restricted to STM64 ports of the
10SD10G card with SDH termination capability. By default, the synchronization is set to the internal time reference that is
provided by the oscillators on the matrix cards of the 1830 PSS OCS devices.
The 5620 SAM allows you to perform the following on an 1830 PSS OCS device:
configure the attributes on the BITS ports of the power filter cards
assign these ports to the external time references
use one of these external time references for the purpose of synchronization

2.4.2. Procedure 126: To configure an SDH line timing
synchronization
Steps
1 On the equipment tree, expand Network→NE→Shelf.
2 Rightclick on the shelf object and choose Properties. The Shelf (Edit) form opens.
3 Click on the Synchronization tab and set the Sync Messaging parameter to Enable on the System Timing Reference
panel to enable synchronization.
4 Select an alarm profile.
Assign a port to an external or line timing reference
5 Choose an external or line timing reference in the External/Line Timing Reference panel and click Properties. The
LineReference (Edit) form opens.
6 Select a port in the Assigned Port panel.
Note: You can assign only ports with STM 64 rates of the 10SD10G cards to the Line Ref 0 through 5.
You cannot assign more than one external or line timing reference to a port.
Table 122: External or line timing references and ports
7 Configure the required line timing parameters on the General tab.
Note: If the Signal Type parameter is set to 2MBIT SSM or DS1 ESF in Procedure 925: To configure synchronization
on an 1830 PSS WDM device , synchronization is based on the value of the Provisioned Quality Level parameter of
the external timing reference.
If the Signal Type parameter is set to 2MBIT No SSM or DS1 ESF No SSM in Procedure 925: To configure
synchronization on an 1830 PSS WDM device , synchronization is based on the value of the Priority parameter of the
external timing reference.
8 Click OK. The LineReference (Edit) form closes and the Shelf (Edit) form reappears.
9 Click Apply. The assigned port is listed in the External/Line Timing Reference panel.
10 Repeat Step 5 to Step 9 for External Line Ref 1, if required.
Switch timing reference
11 Configure the Switch To Timing Reference and Switch Request parameters as required.
Note: By default, the Switch to Timing Reference parameter is set to Sync0/Internal. You can configure it to the
required external or line timing reference after assigning ports as described in Step 5 to Step 10 .
If the Switch Request parameter for an external or line timing reference is configured as Lockout, you cannot set the
Switch Request to Force Switch. Configure the Switch Request parameter as Clear, click Apply, then configure the
Switch Request parameter as Force Switch to switch to the external or line timing reference.
12 Click Apply to save the changes. The Active Line Reference parameter displays the external or line timing reference.
13 Close the form.
