[1, 2, 3]Two shelf types are available for the 1830 PSS switching compound. The PSS-36 shelf is
used when less bandwidth is needed. The PSS-64 shelf offers higher bandwidth, which is typically
related to interfaces and switching capacity.
[4] The shelves provide a flexible mix of SDH/SONET [SDH or SONET], OTH, and Ethernet

interfaces within
ithi a shelf.

[5, 6] The system is equipped with a non-blocking agnostic matrix. The term “agnostic” implies
that the matrix is able to switch TDM, WDM and packet traffic in parallel.
[7, 8] Switching can be performed on the ODUk and VC or STS levels.
[9] Depending on the system configuration, the agnostic matrix is available with different
switching capacities.
[10] The I/O cards offer outstanding flexibility.
[11] The 1830 PSS-36 can house 16 full-slot I/O cards. The PSS-64 can house 32 full-slot I/O
cards. Maximum system capacity can be achieved by using full-slot cards.
[12] Each slot is connected to the agnostic matrix with a bandwidth of 120 Gbit/s through the
backplane. The capacity that is actually available depends on the type of card that is used.
[13] There are several interface cards.
[14] Uplink or Switchponder cards are used to interconnect photonic and switching shelves.
[15] Static filter cards are also included. They multiplex several wavelengths into one WDM signal.

[17] The cards of the agnostic matrix are configured

with 1+1 equipment protection.
[18] This is also applied to the first level controller cards. 8
This overview describes the main functional components of the 1830 PSS-36/64. Note that this functional picture
does not refer to certain hardware components.
The following functions are described:
[1] The control architecture,
[2] The transmission or cross-connection architecture, and
[3] The architecture of input/output traffic interfaces. SDH/SONET, OTH, and Ethernet interfaces are supported.
[4] In addition, uplink interfaces are used to enable seamless interworking with the photonic compound. Uplink
cards are also referred to as Switchponder cards.
[5] Filter cards for CWDM multiplexing complete the range of I/O interfaces.
[6] The architecture for overhead byte management and [7,8] the architecture of the power distribution are also
described.

The control architecture is organized by level.
[1] The first level performs tasks at the equipment level. It manages the resources of the network
element and controls the second-level processors. [2] The control plane functionally is hosted
here, as well as [3] the interfaces to the management system and to external control.
[4] The second level is primarily in charge of performing hardware management.
management [5] It executes
transmission protection schemes and [6] handles fault management and [7] performance
monitoring.
[8,9] A third level is used for local data control when uplink cards or 1AN100G [1 A N 100 G]
optical transponders are equipped.

The transmission architecture has been designed for a flexible system, [1] capable of handling
different types of client traffic. This flexibility is obtained by means of [2] a payload-independent,
electrical switching element, the “Agnostic Matrix.” [3] Different configurations provide different
switching capacities to meet the demands of different network applications. [3]

The optical I/O interfaces are available in a wide range of configurable interface types and rates.
[1] Available interface types include SDH/SONET, OTH and Ethernet.
If the network element operates in SDH or SONET mode, the decision is made at the equipment level. For this
reason, it is not possible to mix SDH and SONET interfaces within the equipment.
Special interfaces for photonic interworking are offered by the [2] Switchponder and [3] CWDM functionality.
The available interface rates are listed on the slide. [4] [5]

[1] Access to overhead bytes is provided by the I/O cards.
The [2] Embedded Communication Channels are transported by the General Communication
Channel included in the OH Byte and are routed by the first-level control function or FLC. [3]

[1] Several independent and redundant power inputs are supported for power distribution.
[2] The detailed power distribution concept depends on the type of the 1830 PSS shelf that is used: PSS-36 or
PSS-64.
[3] The total power consumption of a completely equipped PSS-36 is less than 6 kW; that of a PSS-64 is less
than 11 kW. [4]
