Configure& To ensure correct configuration of the OTUk trails/paths which will be configured using the
Verify Client 1350 OMS, it is good practice to always assign the required client ports prior to the required

Type of the client ports from the OMS, but for the purposes of this MOP, all client ports (unless
otherwise indicated) will be assigned using OMS WebUI prior to the construction of the

1830 PSS Optical Transponder Regeneration

Overview During the network design phase using Engineering Planning Tool (EPT), EPT will compute
the OT types and network resources required to provide initial traffic functionality,
If there is a configuration where transponders are used and an end to end path cannot be
completed due to optical impairments, or when re-coloring (wavelength change) is required
due to wavelength availability, then the use of Optical Regeneration will be required.

The table below defines the Optical Regeneration types which can be deployed on the 1830
PSS

11STAR1A OTU2 Regeneration

OTUk Client to Client (or Back to back) Regeneration configuration consists in connection of 2 OTs
Regeneration cabled together utilizing client interfaces
Transponders supporting this type of regeneration:
 11STAR1
 11STAR1A
 43STA1P

NOTE:
Although client interface regeneration can be deployed suing the original client type (i.e.
10Gbe, OC192/STM64) the correct approach is to use OTUk interfaces on the client ports,
this will provide for and end to end ODUk which will make fault correlation in the event of a
network outage much easier to perform

OTUk Prior to OTUk trail creation, the following 1350 OMS configuration tasks must be completed
Configuration  All required network elements supervised from the 1350 OMS
Pre-requisites
 Network elements have been commissioned
 All network element parameters have been uploaded into the 1350 OMS
 OTS Physical Topology has been constructed
 OMS sections for all OTS physical connections have been imported into OTN
 All physical connection and port information has been synchronized into OTN

112SCA1 (112SNA1) Optical Regeneration

112SCA1 OT regeneration is accomplished by using the line loopback capability of an OT to provide
Optical OEO regeneration for the line in each direction of transmission. This is illustrated
Regeneration in the following diagram

Regeneration for 40G and 100G lines is currently supported by the following OTs:
 112SCX10
 112SNX10
 112SCA1
 112SNA1
 43SCX4(E)
 43STX4(P)
 43STA1(P)
 43SCA1
 43SCGE1

112SCA1 (112SNA1) Optical Regeneration, Continued

OTUk Prior to OTUk trail creation, the following 1350 OMS configuration tasks must be completed
Configuration  All required network elements supervised from the 1350 OMS
Pre-requisites
 Network elements have been commissioned
 All network element parameters have been uploaded into the 1350 OMS
 OTS Physical Topology has been constructed
 OMS sections for all OTS physical connections have been imported into OTN
 All physical connection and port information has been synchronized into OTN

Physical During the CPB download process, for the Uni-directional configuration required for the
Topology and 112SCA1 Optical regeneration, the following settings will be applied to the network element
112SCA1
Configuration
Physical Topology:
CPB will automatically define the physical topology in the following manner
1- Unidirectional connection from CWR/SFD OTS section A to OT Card A Line_In
2- Unidirectional connection from OT Card A Line_Out to CWR/SFD OTS section B
3- Unidirectional connection from CWR/SFD OTS section B to OT Card B Line_In
4- Unidirectional connection from OT Card B Line_Out to CWR/SFD OTS section B

CPB will set the OT card Operational Mode to Regen

112SCA1 (112SNA1) Optical Regeneration, Continued

112SCA1 OTU4 To create a Optically Regenerated OTU4 trail terminating on a 112SCA1 Optical Transponder,
Trail Creation use the following procedure

NOTE:
For the first part of the procedure, a 100Gb CFM Ethernet interface has been allocated using
WebUI to the C1 port of each network element situated in the A and Z ends of the OTU4 trail
being built

Step Action
1 From 1350 OMS Management view,
Select,
 Actions
 OTN
 Create Trail

Define the following configuration parameters:

 Connection rate: OTU4
 Service Type: Double-Single (uni)
 Connection Name: as defined in customer NMS naming convention
 Connection Alias: as defined in customer NMS naming convention
 Click next

NOTE:
For the purposes of the MOP, all other parameters will be left as default, for
further information regarding these setting, please refer to the 1350 OMS OTN
Provisioning guide

 Focus node will be already allocated
 Define Neighbor node, click on select icon and from generated node list
select the required Neighbor node
NOTE:
If the OTUk trail passes through intermediate nodes, then neighbor node will
be the next directly connected node, the configuration must be added hop by
hop until the routing from the A node to the Z node has been completely
defined

Select connection
 Choose the require OMS section from the generated list

Select Link connection by clicking on the select icon
