LAC Board ...............................................................................................................1-29
1.1 SEOA Board

1.1.1 Functions of the SEOA Board
The SEOA board has the following functions:
l The SEOA board uses the C-band Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) to amplify
optical signals. It is used to compensate the insertion loss of optical devices or
attenuation on fiber lines in a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM)
system. In this case, the transmission distance of the system without electrical
regeneration is extended.
l The SEOA board has fast transient response characteristics to meet the requirements
of large bandwidth, and intermediate and long haul transmission.
l The SEOA board has the Automatic Power ShutDown (APR) function.
When the system detects that there is no input optical signal on the link, the SEOA
board automatically reduces its optical output power. When the input optical signal
recovers, the SEOA board restores its output power again. In this way, the optical
power level is always in the safe range when operators maintain or repair line fibers.
The APR function takes effect on each Optical Transmission Section (OTS) in the
system. If any OTS fails, all the other OTSs and downstream alarms will not be
influenced. During the APR processing, the SEOA board at each receiving end
ensures the clamped optical power output, while the SEOA board at each transmitting
end is shut down.
l The SEOA board has a 1510/1550 multiplexer and a 1510/1550 demultiplexer to add
and drop the supervisory wavelength (1510 nm). However, the SEOA board does not
process the supervisory signal (1510 nm).
1-1

ZXWM M920 Hardware Description (Volume II)
l The SEOA board monitors performance and processes alarms. It detects the optical
and electrical performance of the EDFA module, driver circuit, and Thermoelectric
Cooler (TEC), and reports them to the EMS.
l The SEOA board has the gain locking function.
The SEOA board uses the gain-locking amplification mode. The gain-locking value
can be adjusted within a large range to meet the requirements of systems with different
regeneration distances. The gain-locking adjustment precision reaches 0.1 dB with
all input interfaces used within the full temperature range.
l The SEOA board has the power clamping function.
The SEOA board can control its output power with the power clamping function to
avoid optical surge of the EDFA when its optical input power is too high or too low. This
function prevents upstream faults from being forwarded to other OTSs and facilitates
fault location.
The power clamping has two modes, upper clamping and lower clamping.
Upper clamping: In this mode, the output power always keeps the nominal output
value when the input power reaches the saturated output power.
Lower clamping: In this mode, the SEOA board keeps a low optical output power
when it receives no optical signal.
Three types of SEOA boards are available, which are:
l Enhanced Optical Booster Amplifier (SEOBA)

l Enhanced Optical Line Amplifier (SEOLA)
l Enhanced Optical PreAmplifier (SEOPA)
Table 1-1 describes the locations of these three types of SEOA boards on optical lines and
their basic functions.
Table 1-1 SEOA Board Types
Type Location Function
SEOBA Configured behind the light source Used to improve the transmitting power to
of an Optical Terminal Multiplexer extend the transmission distance.
(OTM) or Regenerator (REG)
equipment
SEOPA Configured at the end of an Optical Preamplifies weak optical signals suffering
Multiplex Section (OMS) and in front from line attenuation during transmission, and
of the optical receiving equipment improves the power of the optical signals to
the optical receiving equipment. In this way,
the receiving sensitivity requirement of the
optical receiver is met.

Chapter 1 Optical Amplification Subsystem
Type Location Function
SEOLA Configured in the middle of an OMS Amplifies optical signals in an optical

without the need for dispersion transmission link by inserting the EDFA
compensation directly into the link. Multiple SEOLA boards
can be configured on an OMS according to
the actual needs.
1.1.2 Operating Principle of the SEOA Board

Schematic Diagram
The operating principles of SEOBA/SEOLA/SEOPA boards are similar. Figure 1-1 shows
the operating principle of the SEOLA board.

Unit Description
Table 1-2 describes each functional unit of the SEOA board.
Table 1-2 Unit Descriptions of the SEOA Board
Unit Description
1510/1550 Located at the receiving end of the SEOA board, the demultiplexer
demultiplexer demultiplexes the line input into supervisory channels (1510 nm) and main
optical channels (1550 nm).
1510/1550 multiplexer Located at the transmitting end of the SEOA board, the multiplexer
multiplexes supervisory channels (1510 nm) and main optical channels
(1550 nm).
1-3

Unit Description
EDFA The EDFA amplifies the optical signal with the 1550 nm wavelength. The
amplification is controlled by the EDFA drive circuit.
The EDFA drive circuit has the functions of gain adjustment, power
clamping, gain locking, APSD and APR.
The gain adjustment range of the EONA board is ±5 dB.
The gain adjustment precision is 0.1 dB.
Pump light multiplexer Multiplexes the optical signals into the pump light to amplify the optical
signals.
Control and l Monitors the optical input/output power and reports it to the EMS.
communication unit l Receives control commands from the EMS.
Note:
The SEOBA board has only a 1510/1550 multiplexer at its transmission end, the SEOPA
board has only a 1510/1550 demultiplexer at its receiving end, while the SEOLA board
has both 1510/1550 multiplexer and 1510/1550 demultiplexer.
Service Flow
The SEOLA board receives an optical line signal. Its 1510/1550 demultiplexer
demultiplexes the received signal into a signal with the wavelength 1510 nm and another
with the wavelength 1550 nm.
The signal with the 1510 nm wavelength is sent to the SOSCB board while the signal with
the 1550 nm wavelength is sent to the EDFA module for amplification. These two signals
are later multiplexed by the 1510/1550 multiplexer and then generated from the SEOLA
board.

1.2 EOA Board

1.2.1 Functions of the EOA Board
The EOA board has the following functions:
l The EOA board uses the Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) to amplify optical
signals. The EDFA uses the full light amplification mode to replace the original
electrical regeneration mode. In this way, both the cost and the complexity of the
system are reduced.
l The EOA board has the fast transient response characteristics to meet the
requirements of super-large bandwidth and long-haul transmission.
l The EOA board has the Automatic Power ShutDown (APR) function.
When the system detects that there is no input optical signal on the link, the EOA
board automatically shuts down or reduces its optical output power. When the input
optical signal recovers, the EOA board restores its output power again. In this way,
the optical power level is always in the safe range when operators maintain or repair
line fibers.
The APR function takes effect on each OTS. If any OTS fails, all the other OTSs and
downstream alarms will not be influenced. During the APR processing, the EOA board
at each receiving end ensures the clamped optical power output, while the EOA board
at each transmitting end is shut down.
l The EOA board has a 1510/1550 multiplexer and a 1510/1550 demultiplexer to add
and drop the supervisory wavelength (1510 nm). However, the EOA board does not
process the supervisory signal (1510 nm).
l The EOA board monitors the related performances and processes alarms. It also
performs operations according to the commands delivered by the EMS software.
l The EOA board uses the gain-locking amplification mode. The gain-locking value can
be adjusted within a large range to meet the requirements of systems with different
regeneration distances. The gain-locking adjustment precision reaches 0.1 dB with
all input interfaces used within the full temperature range.
l The EOA board has the power clamping function.
The EOA board can control its output power with the power clamping function to avoid
optical surge of the EDFA when its optical input power is too high or too low. This
function prevents upstream faults from being forwarded to other OTSs and facilitates
fault location.
The power clamping has two modes, upper clamping and lower clamping.
Upper clamping: In this mode, the output power always keeps the nominal output
value when the input power reaches the saturated output power.
1-9

Lower clamping: In this mode, the EOA board keeps a low optical output power when
it receives no optical signal.
l Four types of EOA boards are available, which are:
à Enhanced Optical Booster Amplifier (EOBA)
à Enhanced Optical Line Amplifier (EOLA)
à Enhanced Optical PreAmplifier (EOPA)
à Enhanced Optical Node (EONA)
Table 1-4 describes the locations of these four types of EOA boards on optical lines
and their basic functions.

1.3 DRA Board

1.3.1 Functions of the DRA Board
The RAMAN amplifier is a type of amplifier that features small noise coefficient, gain
adjustment, gain flatness, standard structure, and high reliability.
The Distributed Raman Amplifier (DRA) board implements the distributed amplification
of optical signals by using the RAMAN amplifier to feed the RAMAN pump light into
the transmission fiber in the reverse direction. Two types of DRA boards are available
according to different application scenarios, DRA_B and DRA_P.
l The DRA_P board is located at the system receiving end. It feeds the RAMAN
pump light into the transmission fiber in the reverse direction (opposite to the signal
transmission direction).
l The DRA_B board is located at the system transmitting end. It feeds the RAMAN
pump light into the transmission fiber in the forward direction (same with the signal
transmission direction).
Cooperating with the EDFA, the DRA board is applicable to single-hop ultra-long distance
systems.
The DRA board has the following functions:
l To implement super-large capacity and ultra-long transmission distance
communication, the amplification wavelength can be upgraded to the C + L band
with the range from 1529 nm to 1604 nm.
l The DRA board has gain adjustment, gain spectrum adjustment and gain stabilization
functions.
à Gain adjustment: Adjusts the pump laser optical power, combining with
gain adjustment of the EDFA. During the adjustment, the DRA board uses
slow-change control to improve the system security.
à Gain spectrum adjustment: Adjusts the optical power of each pump laser to
implement spectrum adjustment, and solves the problems of channel flatness.
à Gain stabilization: Stabilizes the pump power.
l The DRA board has the Automatic Laser Shutdown (ALS) function.
1-23

l The DRA board monitors the related performances and processes alarms. It also
performs operations according to the commands delivered by the EMS software.

Figure 1-14 Operating Principle of the DRA Board (C+L band)
The RAMAN pump module of the DRA board can be classified into the C-band module
and the L-band module. The C-band module can independently access the system, while
the L-band module must cooperate with the C-band module.
When the L-band module and the C-band module are used at the same time, signals
access through the optical input interface of the C-Band module. C-band signals are
amplified in the C-band module, while L-band signals are amplified in the L-band module.

l Avoid damaging fiber pigtail connectors while plugging/unplugging the board and
make sure that the optical power of fiber is lower than 10 dBm.
1-28

l Always keep the optical connectors clean. Install the dust caps on the unused optical
connectors in real-time.
l A board slot should be reserved at the right of the DRA board for heat dissipation.
l In the application of the DRA board, connectors used in optical line should be as few
as possible.
The reflectance of fiber connecting surface should be no more than -30 dB to ensure
the amplification efficiency of the DRA board.
l If the line fiber route changes or the optical fiber changes, fiber pigtails connected to
the DRA board should be recleaned.
Record the reflectance and reflected power of the DRA board.

l Turn off the board pump laser in EMS before pulling out fiber from the IN interface on
the board.
l Before inserting fiber into IN interface, perform the following operations:
1. Connect the fiber correctly.
2. Configure board gain as the lowest value, and then check the reflectance.
3. If the reflectance is not more than -30 dB, adjust the gain to the normal value
l Use a fiber microscope to observe optical fibers to check whether they are clean while
cleaning fiber surfaces of the DRA board.
The reflectance should be not more than -30 dB (the reflectance alarm threshold is
-15 dB). Clean fiber surfaces before you plug/unplug fiber pigtails or replace the DRA
board.

Service Flow
The SOP board performs operations in two directions, concurrent transmitting
direction (T1_I→T1_01/T1_02, T2_I→T2_01/T2_02) and preferred receiving direction
(R1_I1/R1_I2→R1_0, R2_I1/R2_I2→R2_0).

Unit Description
Each optical switching module has eight 2×2 optical switches. IN0/OUT0 is the
protection channel, while IN1/OUT1 to IN8/OUT8 are working channels. The
OMCP board has two states:
l Operational status
Eight 2×2 optical switches are all in cross-connection status. IN0 is
connected to OUT0. IN1 is connected to OUT1, and so on.
l Protection status
Optical switching If service i is interrupted due to the failure of wavelength channel i (1≤i≤8),
module the OMCP board switches to protection status from operational status
when the service interruption is detected. The 2×2 optical switch i turns
to pass-through status from cross-connection status while other optical
switches do not change.

2.3.4 Application of the SOPCS Board

During the configuration of optical channel shared protection, wavelengths carrying
services should be different. For example, a pair of services is transmitted between node
A and node B, as shown in Figure 2-11. The service from node B to node A is carried
by wavelength 21 (outer ring), while the service from node A to node B is carried by
wavelength 22 (inner ring). In this way, the working wavelength consisting of wavelengths
21 and 22 can be used repeatedly between other nodes in the ring network. Wavelength
21 on the inner ring can act as the protection wavelength of wavelength 21 on the outer
ring. Similarly, wavelength 22 on the outer ring can act as the protection wavelength of
wavelength 22 on the inner ring. In this way, the shared protection of multiple services
in the network is implemented. Although the wavelengths can be assigned flexibly, be
sure that working wavelengths in two directions are different. For convenient debugging
and maintenance, adjacent even and odd wavelengths are assigned to two directions
respectively.

2.4.4 Application of the SOPMS Board

During the configuration of multiplex section shared protection, wavelengths carrying
services should be different. Working wavelengths and protection wavelengths of
the outer ring and the inner ring should be assigned symmetrically. For example, 16
wavelengths (192.1 THz to 193.8 THz) are used as working wavelengths of the outer
ring, while 16 wavelengths (194.3 THz to 196.0 THz) are used as working wavelengths of
the inner ring.
As shown in Figure 2-14, a pair of services is transmitted between node A and node B.
The service from node B to node A is carried by wavelength 21 (outer ring), while the
service from node A to node B is carried by wavelength 43 (inner ring). In this way, the
working wavelength consisting of wavelengths 21 and 43 can be used repeatedly between
other nodes in the ring network. Wavelength 21 on the inner ring can act as the protection
wavelength of wavelength 21 on the outer ring. Similarly, wavelength 43 on the outer ring
2-19

can act as the protection wavelength of wavelength 43 on the inner ring. In this way, the
shared protection of multiple services in the network is implemented.

5.1.6 Active/Standby Switch of SNP Boards

Function Description
The SNP and SCC board active/standby switch module supports the following functions:
l Determining the active/standby status of the board.
l Processing the switch command.
l Checking the status of the slave board and determining whether it complies with
triggering conditions for the switch.
l Keeping the data consistency on the master board and the slave board.
Note:
If the switch mode is not configured, the active/standby switch module is in the “automatic
switch” status, meaning that the slave board automatically initiates the switch during the
board running process when the active/standby switch module on the slave board finds
that the fault severity level of the master board is higher than that of the slave board.
5-7

The active/standby switch modes include lock, manual switch, and forced switch. The
three modes are described in Table 5-5.
Table 5-5 Active/Standby Switch Modes
Switch Mode Description
Lock The current switch mode is cleared, and the active/standby switch module
is in the “automatic switch” status.
Manual switch The active/standby switch module compares the fault severity level
between the master board and the slave board, and performs the switch
if the fault severity level of the slave board is no higher than that of the
master board. The board active/standby status after switch is not locked.
When a fault occurs with the board at this time, the system enables the
automatic switch rule.
Forced switch The active/standby switch module does not compare the fault severity
level between the master board and the slave board. It locks the board
active/standby status after switching, which can only be unlocked by the
“lock” operation. After the switch mode is cleared, the board enables the
automatic switch rule.
Parameter Setting
Right-click the desired NE, and select Maintenance > WDM Maintenance >
Active/Standby switch. For the parameter descriptions of the board active/standby
switch function, refer to Table 5-6.
Table 5-6 Parameter Descriptions
Item Description

forced switch status.
Active/standby data comparison Compares the data on the active/standby database,

to query whether the data on the master board is
synchronized to the slave board.
Active/standby data synchronization Queries whether the active/standby data is

synchronized, and immediately synchronizes
un-synchronized data.
Query Queries and displays the switch mode of the current

board.
Apply Confirms the setting and sends the command.

the public interfaces on normal boards. Thus, the ETI board can install several time
interface boards for interface expansion or backup.
l The front panel of the ETI board supports four 1PPS+TOD interfaces (the input or
output direction can be set) and two FE/GE electrical interfaces (through the RJ45
connector). The RJ45 connector extracts the clock from the receiving end. The FE/GE
electrical interfaces supports the Ethernet synchronization function.
l The front panel has two optical interfaces (SFP interfaces) to support the Ethernet
synchronization function. The optical interface can be configured as 100BASE-FX or
1000BASE-X, which can be switched by replacing the SFP module or changing the
software configuration.

7.3 CSU Board

7.3.1 Functions of CSU Board
The CSU board acts as a clock and signal cross-connect processing unit. Two CSU boards
are installed in centralized cross-connect (CX) subrack for hot backup. CSU board has the
following functions:
Cross-Connect Function
The CSU board receives the backplane service signals from various service boards
installed in the CX subrack, such as DSA and SMUB, cross-connects these signals and
sends them to corresponding service boards. The cross-connect capacity of CSU board
is 48×48 channels of ODU1 or ODU2 backplane signals.
Clock Function
l The CSU board selects the best clock as the system clock from the input clocks at
different levels according to certain algorithm. The input clock may be line clock,
external clock or clock from the other CSU board in CX subrack.
à Line clock: Comes from various service boards in CX subrack. Each service
board provides one clock. Up to 12 line clocks are available.
à External clock: Provided by external BITS equipment. Two 2 MHz clocks and two
2 Mbit/s clocks are supported.
à Clock from the other CSU board: The other CSU board can output one clock
signal according to certain algorithm.
l The CSU board can convert the system clock into various clock signals and assign
them to other service boards in the CX subrack as reference clock. These clock
signals can also be output as external clocks or provided to the other CSU board.
à Line clock: It is output to all the other service boards in CX subrack. For each
service board, one clock signal is provided. Up to 12 line clocks are available.
à External clock: Two 2 MHz clocks and two 2 Mbit/s clocks are supported
à Clock output to the other CSU board: One clock signal is output to the other CSU

Unit Description
l Two CSU boards are installed in CX subrack for hot backup. In normal
situation, only one of them acts as the master board. The slave CSU
board works in the clock locked mode to guarantee the consistence
between the output clock phases of the master CSU board and the
slave CSU board.
l The switching between master CSU board and slave CSU board can
Master/slave switching be controlled by NMS or the boards themselves. The NMS issues
control unit the switching command to the CSU boards through the control &
communication unit.
l The switching of CSU board is non-revertible. The prerequisite of
successful switching is that the slave CSU board is working normally.
When the master CSU board fails or it receives a switching command,
the master/slave switching control unit will perform the switching
automatically to ensure the reliability and validity of system clock.
The CX subrack can implement protection switching of electrical-layer

service. CSU board executes APS command. The APS control board
