& Environment General
Overview
Introduction to the equipment

The Alcatel-Lucent 1626 Light Manager (1626 LM in the following) is the platform of
Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Multi Reach systems for Regional,
National, Pan-continental Networks.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1626 LM addresses terrestrial applications from Metro-Core (few
hundreds of kilometers) to Ultra Long-Haul (up to 4500 km) and unrepeatered submarine
applications (400 Km single span), from average capacity for regional networks up to
large capacity for pan-continental networks.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1626 LM is designed to address efficiently green field applications for
new networks and links as well as to upgrade legacy platforms without traffic
interruption. Carriers can keep their installed DWDM base and increase its capacity by
loading new wavelengths from the 1626 LM. This provides to carriers a state-of-art
technology and advanced features without wasting the investment previously granted.
System capacity
The Alcatel-Lucent 1626 LM provides a modular transmission capacity on a single optical
fiber by multiplexing:
• up to 96 channels, 10 Gbps rate, 50 GHz grid in the Extended C-band (1530 nm -
1568.6 nm)
• up to 32 channels, 10 Gbps rate, 100 GHz grid, in the standard C-band ( 1529.55 nm -
1561.42 nm).
System structure
The Alcatel-Lucent 1626 LM architecture is based on a standard or a compact shelf that
can be configured in different ways to support a variety of applications. The main building
blocks (interfaces, mux/demux, optical amplifiers, protection boards, ...) can be allocated
in the shelves in a very flexible way. As a result the footprint and the cost of the system
configuration is optimized.
The system structure is based on transponders, mux/demux and optical amplifiers. The
transponders are connected to optical Muxes/Demuxes which generate the main DWDM
signal (combined signal) and launch it in the fibre by means of optical amplifiers.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1626 LM supports the following main categories of 3R transponders:

• Flexible and scalable architecture
The 1626 LM design allows the customer to begin with a partially equipped
configuration (e.g.: 8 channels) that can be progressively upgraded as the traffic
demand grows, with a 8 or 4 chs channels mux/demux granularity. In particular, from
the initial configuration, the transmission capacity can be increased without
interrupting the existing traffic.
• Unsurpassed platform density
Up to 16 x 10Gbps optical channels in a single shelf, up to 48 x 10Gbps optical
channels in a single rack. Up to 96x10Gbps system or up to 352x2.5 Gbps interfaces
are supported in only two racks.
• Traffic Flexibility via Optical Add & Drop functionality.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1626 LM provides the add/drop capability by means of
• Channel OADM for 50 GHz compatible architecture providing
– Add/drop up to 100% of the transported capacity
– Independent management of each single channel
– Optical pass-thru (no regeneration) of all the channels that are not extracted.
• Band OADM for 50 GHz compatible architecture providing

Optical Add & Drop Multiplexer (OADM) repeater (OR)

The OADM repeater is a NE configuration that brings the capabilities to add and drop one
or more wavelengths to/from the aggregate signal in one or both directions.
The OADM NE configuration is implemented in linear and ring based networks.
Up to 100% of the transit traffic can be added/dropped for a total of a maximum 77
wavelengths (11 bands equipped at 7 channels). All the bands that are not extracted are
transparently transmitted without the need of any optical/electrical regeneration (bands are
in optical pass-through). The fully equipped OADM configuration allowing to add and
drop up to 100% of the transit traffic requires four racks.
The schematic representation of the OADM configuration is reported in Figure 1-9, “1626
LM OADM configuration on a 50 GHz grid” (p. 1-20). The OADM consists of the
following:
• line amplifiers (LOFA), with the extraction/insertion of the OSC before/after the
double-stage amplifier
• up to 22 CMDX (11 per direction, 1 band is reserved by ALCT, as default B5) and 2

In OADM repeater configuration, up to 11 wavelength bands per direction can be sent to
the line (1 band is occupied by ALCT).
A maximum of 77 channels (11 bands) can be sent/received to/from the line, per each side
(it is mandatory to keep one band for the ALCT in an OADM, to protect the transmission)
A 7-wavelength at 50 GHz granularity per band, is used per band.
These wavelength are: 195900 (1530.33nm); 195500 (1533.46nm); 195100 (1536.61nm);
194700 (1539.76nm); 194300 (1542.93nm); 193900 (1546.12nm); 193500 (1549.31nm);

191500 (1565.49nm).
Up to 100% of the wavelengths can be added/dropped. The non-added/dropped channels
are in complete pass-through and reamplified.

ALCT is used to ensure a protection of the added/dropped channels against a line failure
affecting the pass-through. It also facilitates the loading of the system. The ALCT band is
specified according to the link design . Typically two boards are used in OADM (but a
higher number may be used), in order to substitute the relevant missing CMDXs (2
ALCTs have always to be plugged in OADM).

When all the DWDM line channels are added and dropped or electrically regenerated, the
1626 LM is a back-to-back terminal or a hub node.
The Back To Back terminal is a particular case of the OADM configuration without any
optical pass thru channels.
The NE configuration is implemented in linear and ring based networks.
Up to 96 channels/wavelengths (12 bands) can be added/dropped or regenerated in a
BTB configuration. A typical fully equipped configuration requires five racks.
The schematic representation of the BTB configuration is reported in Figure 1-11, “1626

............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Amplification Configurations
The amplifiers used are LOFA11xx: they are EDFA (Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier)
aggregate amplifiers able to amplify all the Extended C-band.
Optical Amplifiers are based on a two-stage optical gain block which provides optical
access between the two stages (interstage), used to insert a passive DCU (either DCF or
any other technologies); if no DCU is used, an attenuator may be installed or the VOA
may be tuned to perform the inter-stage loss.
The LOFA serves as
• in-line amplifier when it is used in a regenerator capacity
• terminal pre-amplifier when it is used as the front-end of an optical receiver
• post-amplifier (booster) when it boosts the output signal of a laser transmitter.
LOFA1110 and LOFA1120 provide up to 20 dBm output power without external pump
module.
These two boards also provide connection to an external pump module to increase the
output power up to 23 dBm (future release).
LOFA1111 and LOFA1121 provide up to 17 dBm output power. These boards do not have
a connection for upgrades with an external pump module.
The 1510 nm OSC wavelength is extracted from the aggregate signal at the input of the
first stage of the amplifier and it is added to the aggregate signal at the output of the
second stage.
LOFA contains an internal VOA in order to optimize the gain flatness during the system
lifetime and to avoid non-linear effects in DCF that can fill the interstage.
It is also able to automatically tune its VOA and its 1st stage output power.
LOFAs in unidirectional configuration
Figure 1-23 Generic unidirectional block scheme of a 2-stage amplifier with

interstage access
LOFA11X1 has a floating VOA. By default in unidirectional configuration it is connected
immediately after the first stage as shown in Figure 1-23, “Generic unidirectional block
scheme of a 2-stage amplifier with interstage access” (p. 1-37)If needed it could also be
connected before the first stage.

• 1686 WM existing links upgrade with 1626 LM mux/demux scheme and/or
transponders
Note that
• the mux/demux scheme, according to the configuration, can be made up of both the
1626 LM and 1640 WM/1686 WM mux/demux
• supervision (OSC) and line amplifiers (booster+preamplifier) belong to the 1640 WM

• WLA is the 1686 WM transponder, TRB is the 1640 WM transponder, TPD is the
1626 LM transponder (TRBD, TRBC)
The OSC allows the NE management: it is extracted from the aggregate signal before
entering the pre-amplifier and then added after the optical amplification of the aggregate
signal. This gives the benefit to remotely manage the NE also in case of optical amplifier
failure.
Line Terminal (LT)

In Line Terminal configuration (LT), the 1626 LM connects, according to the system
architecture,
• up to 80 x 10Gbps B&W client signals, using TRBD or

• the second one can mix up to 5 aggregate signals of 8 channels to reach 40
wavelengths on a 100GHz grid (supported by the TCS302, Off-grid channels, and
TCS401, On grid channels);
• the third one combines the two resulting aggregate signals of 40 channels at 100GHz
to have one DWDM signal of 80 channels at 50GHz in C band (function provided by
the TCS401 board).
• The MDX multiplexing architecture is based on two mux / demux stages
• the first one is able to multiplex (or de-multiplex because the boards are bi-directional)
up to 40 channels on a 100GHz grid; this function is supported by the MDX3x2 (On
grid channels) and MDX3x3 (Off-grid channels).
• the second one interleaves the two resulting aggregate signals of 40 channels at
100GHz to have one DWDM signal of 80 channels at 50GHz in C band (by means of
the MDX4x1 board).
Existing 1640 WM links upgrade with 1626 LM boards.

Upgrade of 1640WM with TCS301 is not supported. Replacement of TCS301 with
TCS401 is a precondition to upgrade the configuration with 1626 LM tributaries.
The upgrade is allowed only when only when less than 40 channels of the 1640 WM

Hereinafter, a brief description of the 1686 WM mux/demux scheme is given.
It is based on two mux/demux stages
• the first one is made up of two OMDX boards, able to multiplex (or de-multiplex,
because the boards are bidirectional) up to 16 chs each (one in red band, the other one
in blue band) on a 100GHz grid
• the second one multiplexes the two resulting aggregate signals of 16 channels at
100GHz each to have one DWDM signal of 32 channels at 100GHz in C band (by
means of the expansion board).
Existing 1686 WM links upgrade with 1626 LM boards
Two cases of upgrade are allowed:
• 1626 LM mux-demux connected to 1686 WM EXP board
• 1626 LM transponders (TRBD, TRBC) directly connected to 1686 WM mux/demux.

Product Configurations & Environment General Overview Protection scenario
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Protection scenario
In 1626 LM the optical protections are managed by means of dedicated protection coupler
boards integrated into the 1626 LM universal shelf. The 1626 LM is able to provide to a
generic host tributary system both linear and ring optical channel (OCh) protections. In
previous releases an additional (1660 OCP) equipment supported this kind of
configuration and 1626 LM in current release is supporting the interworking with 1660
OCP equipment.
Optical Channel (OCh) protection
The channel protection is provided with the Optical SNCP (O-SNCP) performed by means
of the OCPU2104 and transponders (TRBD, TRBC).
The tributary signal is bridged over two different lines (working and protecting line). In
this way the signal is delivered towards two different paths. At the receiver side the
selection between the two diversely routed signals is performed. The protection switching
is triggered by the following switching criteria: LOS, OTU-LOF, OTU-LOM, OTU-TIM,
ODU-AIS, Generic-AIS, FEC uncorrected errors.
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
3AL 75131 AAAA 1-53
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
This kind of protection can be used on two different topologies: linear links and ring
topologies, as shown in Figure 1-38 and Figure 1-39, “Optical SNCP protection scheme:
with back-to-back terminals or OADM” (p. 1-55)respectively.

Figure 1-39 Optical SNCP protection scheme: with back-to-back terminals or OADM
The split and select functions are optically performed, by means of passive optical
couplers and splitters.
The selection is done by shutting-down the user Tx corresponding to the path in failure
and activating the protecting one (see Figure 1-40).

1626 LM physical generic shelf

configuration
The 1626 LM shelf is made up by an empty shelf and the boards and units installed in it.
In current release, the 1626 LM system is composed by
• one mandatory master shelf
• up to five slave/expansion shelves, according to the configuration type.
The board composition determines the shelf type: master or slave.
1626 LM generic empty shelf

The shelf is divided in 41 slots. The logical slot numbers are shown in Figure 2-2, “Shelf
dimensions and slots numbering” (p. 2-4)
Six different mechanics are available for the 1626 LM boards:
• 20 mm width, small height; this mechanic fits into slots 21, 22, 39 and 40
• 20 mm width, medium height; this mechanic fits into slots 1, 2, 19 and 20
• 25 mm width, small height; this mechanic fits into slots 23 to 38
• 25 mm width, medium height; this mechanic fits into slots 3 to 18
• 25 mm width, tall height; this mechanic takes two slots: one 25mm wide, medium
height slot plus one 25mm wide, small height one which is under it. Thus, it fits in
slots 3 plus 23, 4 plus 24 to 18 plus 38. The relevant units use the connector from the
medium height slot to communicate with the SC
• double width, tall height; this mechanic takes four slots: two adjacent 25 mm wide,
medium height slots plus the two 25mm wide, small height ones which are under
them. I.e. it can fit in slots 5, 6, 25, 26. The units which have this mechanics use the
connector from the left medium height slot (slot 5 in the above example) to
communicate with the SC.
• triple width, tall height; this mechanic takes six slots: three adjacent 25 mm wide,
medium height slots plus the three 25mm wide, small height ones which are under
them. I.e. it can fit in slots 5, 6, 7, 25, 26 27.

3 Amplification LOFA • The amplification takes place
after step 2 before signal
transmission along the optical
fiber.
• If required, DCU module
(Dispersion Compensation Unit)
can be inserted in LOFA mid-
stage or between cascaded LOFA
toprovide long distance
transmission without signal
penalty.
• Optical Supervisory Channel
(OSC) provided by OSCU board
is added at the LOFA
input/output. It enables to
supervise all the NE along the
WDM path. OSCU interfaces
with the controller board via back
panel connection. OSCU delivers
a voice digital channel at 64 kbps.

with 50GHz spacing
• G.655, designed for 100GHz spacing: from the most internal to the most external, with
100GHz spacing
• G.655, designed for 50GHz spacing: from the most internal to the most external,
starting with 100GHz spacing, then passing to 50GHz spacing (after loading at
100GHz is complete).
Links without OADMs
• ALC can be turned off after 32 channels (100GHz loading) or 64 (50GHz loading).
Links with OADMs
• ALC cannot be removed if the traffic add/dropped at an OADM needs to be protected:
Band 5 is generally reserved for ALCT insertion

Functional Description Optical Supervision
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Optical Supervision
The optional out-of-band Optical Supervisory Channel allows the supervision of all the
NEs along the WDM path; moreover it gives some order-wires (data channel and voice
channel) to the users.
From current release this function is managed by 1626 LM equipment, by means of
the OSCU1010 supervision unit. This board provides two optical transmitters and two
optical receivers to enable to supervise two directions.
Remotely, from a Craft Terminal or 1353 SH, it is possible to access the status of a distant
NE and send commands to it by means of the OSC.
12 D-channels are extracted from the OSC to build a communication stream at 64 kbps per
D-channel.
It is added/dropped in each NE along the transmission line, providing a communication
link within the system. In this way the external DCN, necessary to connect the WDM
system to the NMS, can reach any NE, receiving the supervision information concerning
the whole transmission path through the OSC.

Figure 3-1 Remote supervision through OSC

The OSC is transported over a 1510 nm extra-band wavelength with a 4.864 bit rate being
the result of the multiplexing of two 2.048 Mbps streams: the 2 Mbps supervision frame
for embedded DCC and an additional 2 Mbps Data Channel reserved for future use (not
available in current release).
The supervision channel is
• added to the aggregate optical signal at the output of the terminal equipment, after the
booster (input of the WDM line),
• terminated in each OADM, back-to-back terminal or repeater (extracted before the
preamplifier/1st stage amplifier, from the optical signal received from the line, and
added after the booster/2nd stage amplifier, to the optical signal transmitted to the line)
• dropped from the received optical signal at the input of the terminal, before the
preamplifier (output of the WDM line).
The optical supervisory channel conveys a supervision frame that contains all the
information for
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
• distant NE management (Line Terminal, Fixed and Tunable/Reconfigurable OADM,

back-to-back or Line Repeater)
• remote user-access from any site to all other sites,
• auxiliary channels for data transmission (64 kbps Engineering Order Wire)
• voice phone channels.
Two kinds of calls can be placed on the voice phone channel: point-to-point call and
conference call.
The following figure illustrates the OSCU implementation in an OADM configuration.

3AL 75131 AAAA 3-15
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
At first, the 4Mbps signal on a 1510 nm wavelength, is extracted from the optical
aggregate signal with an optical filter, in amplifier or mux/demux board. Then it is
received by the OSCU board and electrically demultiplexed in two 2 Mbps streams: the 2
Mbps OSC stream and the additional 2 Mbps stream.
The additional 2 Mbps stream is sent to the USIB board through back panel links to be
dropped to the client.
The 64 Kbps E2 byte carrying the voice channel, is dropped towards the board front panel
on which a telephone handset is plugged.
The DCCs are sent with the entire 32 bytes frame through back panel TDM links to the
ESCT board located in slot #1. The FPGA extracts the DCC bytes and stores them in
registers. All the processing are performed by the microprocessor.
In the reverse way, the microprocessor generates the information to be sent, gives it to the
FPGA that builds the 32 bytes frame. This frame is sent to the OSCU board through TDM
links.
The OSCU board fills the 64 kb/s E2 voice channel.
It fills the 2Mbps with the stream coming from the USIB. Then it multiplexes the 2 Mbps
supervisory channel with the additional 2 Mbps stream. The laser emits the 4 Mbps OSC
frame that is multiplexed through an optical filter in an amplifier board (LOFA) or
Mux/Demux (BMDX).

Functional Description Protection
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Protection
In the 1626 LM, the optical protection (channel protection) is provided with the Optical
SNCP (O-SNCP) performed by means of a dedicated protection coupler (OCPU2104) and
transponders (TRBD and TRBC, in current release).
OCPU2104 provides O-SNCP for TRBD and TRBC clients. 2 clients are 1+1 protected,
by means of 2 optical couplers and splitters, as shown in Figure 3-3, “OSNCP: supported
configurations” (p. 3-17). It is a medium height board.
.
Figure 3-3 OSNCP: supported configurations
Figure 3-4 Transponder sub-system in O-SNCP configuration

The tributary signal is bridged over two different lines (working and protecting line). In
this way the signal is delivered towards two different paths. At the receiver side the
selection between the two diversely routed signals is performed. The protection switching
is triggered by the following switching criteria: LOS, OTU-LOF, OTU-LOM, OTU-TIM,
ODU-AIS, Generic-AIS, FEC uncorrected errors.
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
3AL 75131 AAAA 3-17
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The split and select functions are optically performed, by means of passive optical
couplers and splitters, hosted in the OCPUx104 board).
The selection is done by shutting-down the user Tx corresponding to the path in failure
thus activating the protecting one (an example is given in Figure 1-22, “Optical protection
way of working” (p. 1-30)).
This kind of protection can be used on two different topologies: linear links and ring
topologies, as shown in Figure 1-20, “Optical channel protection in linear links” (p. 1-29)
and Figure 1-21, “Optical SNCP protection scheme: with back-to-back terminals or
OADM” (p. 1-30), respectively.
In the following is detailed the O-SNCP way of working:
• two transponders/boards (main and protecting) exchange information, via dedicated
backplane links, on the quality of the signal that they have to deliver at the client B&W
interface
• the two transponders arbitrate between them with the target of choosing the best
signal, and decide the transponder that has to shutdown the BW laser, and the one that
has to activate it
• the inputs of the two B&W interfaces of the transponders are connected (via optical
cables) to the outputs of a 50/50 splitter
• the outputs of the two B&W interfaces of the transponders are connected (via optical
cables) to the inputs of a coupler; since only one B&W laser is active at a given time, a
switch is in fact realized by shutting down the current active laser and activating the
current inactive laser
• the working and the protecting transponder must be allocated in adjacent twin slots
(slots 3-4, 5-6, ..but not 4-5) to perform the protection switch. Figure 3-5, “O-SNCP:
shelf configuration examples” (p. 3-19) shows slot relationship between OCPU2104
and TRBD/C.

Functional Description Performance Monitoring Points on transmission boards
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Performance Monitoring
Performance Monitoring is a function which provides the operator with the ability to
constantly monitor the quality of the signal flowing through his WDM network. This
function is available at selected Performance Monitoring Points, it is performed through
an accumulation of information during fixed time windows (granularity periods: 15min or
24h) and it provides consistent information to the management interface (end-to-end
monitoring).
When PM is activated, for each PM Point, the following processes are automatically
performed
• Continuous monitoring by transmission boards of the quality of the signal flowing
through the PM Point and generation of raw PM information, known as 1s PM
primitives (1s stands for 1 second)
• Correlation between 1s PM primitives by the system, with periodic collection of 1s
PM primitives and accumulation of corresponding PM counters (PM events) during
the current monitoring period.
N.B. PM primitives are raw information, internally used, but not made available at
NMS; PM counters are the significant values resulting of correlations between PM
primitives. These values are made available to the NMS.
• Generation of PM current data related to the current monitoring period (15min / 24h),
based on PM counters accumulated during the current monitoring period
• Comparison of PM counters of the current monitoring period with related PM
Threshold profile (TCA)
• Generation of PM history data, with storing of PM information related to past 15min /
24h periods
From the management interface, it is possible to manage PM data (clear PM counters,
activate or deactivate Performance Monitoring...) and PM Thresholds (profile
assignment/modification...).The latter is used to generate Threshold Crossed Alarms
(TCA).
Performance Monitoring Points on transmission boards

PM Points are characterized by the following parameters:
• monitored side, which can be:
• Egress if monitoring is performed on information received from WDM side (WDM --
> BW)
• Ingress if monitoring is performed on information received from B&W side (B&W -->
WDM)
• monitored end, which can be:
• Near End if monitoring is related to the quality of the received signal

• BBU (Background Block Uncorrected): count of FEC uncorrected blocks that
occurred outside a SUS
• SUS (Severely Uncorrected Seconds): count of te number of seconds of presence of
FEC/OCH layer defects in the system.

• US (Uncorrected Seconds): counter not used; fixed value = 0.
For the Ethernet layer 1 at 1.25Gbps (GbE) or 1.0625Gbps (Fiber Channel), the
following performance counters are supported (per each port):
• based on 8B/10B coding structure of the Ethernet frame, two types of errors are
detected:
• RDE (Running Disparity Error)
• IW (Invalid Word)
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
3 - 24 3AL 75131 AAAA
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
• these RDE and IW errors occurring in 1s are accumulated in a 16 bits counter, called
ICG (Invalid Code Group)
• based on ICG and LOS/LOF detection, the following performance counters are
supported
• ES: at least one ICG or one LOS or LOF or unit missing within the second
• SES: at least 10000 ICG (corresponds to a BER <10-5) or one LOS or LOF or unit
missing
• BBE: ICG occurring outside a SES
For the Ethernet Layer 2 (1 and 10 Gbps), the following performance counters are
supported (per each port):
• TRCF: Total Received Correct Frames
TRCF counts the number of valid frames received by each Ethernet port.
TRCF sums the number of received unicast, multicast and broadcast frames.
• TRCO: Total Received Correct Octets
TRCO counts the number of valid bytes received by each Ethernet port.
• TRSEF: Total Received Service Errored Frames
TRSEF counts the number of errored frames received by each Ethernet port.
• TTF: Total Transmitted Frames
TTF counts the number of frames transmitted by each Ethernet port.
TTF sums the number of transmitted unicast, multicast and broadcast frames.
• TTO: Total Transmitted Octets
TTO counts the number of bytes transmitted by each Ethernet port.
• TDF: Total Dropped Frames
TDF counts the number of frames dropped by each Ethernet port.
Unavailable Time
A period of unavailable time (UAT) shall begin when 10 consecutive SES (or SUS) events
have been detected. These 10 seconds are considered to be part of the available time.
The UAS counter shall accumulate over the monitoring period (it shall be reset at the end
of the monitoring period) the number of seconds of unavailable time.
Performance monitoring event counting for ES, SES, BBE shall be inhibited during
unavailable time.
An alarm UAT shall be raised at the detection of a period of unavailable time and cleared
at the detection of a new period of available time, whatever the monitoring period.
PM current data management

Performance Monitoring on a given PM Point can be activated on either 15-minute or 24-
hour (or both at the same time) granularity.

During a monitoring period, PM information (counters, elapsed time, etc.) is continuously

updated and can be managed from management interface. At the end of the monitoring
period, the content of PM current data (counters, elapsed time, etc.) is stored into history
data, the current data is reset and a new monitoring period begins. Up to sixteen 15min and
one 24h history data are stored in the NE.
Threshold Crossing Alarms (TCA)

15min and 24h PM counters are compared to provisionable thresholds, in order to
generate TCA.
TCA on 15min PM counters are raised/cleared according to a Dual Level Threshold
Crossing mechanism while TCA on 24h PM counters are raised according to a Single
Level Threshold Crossing mechanism:
• Single Level Threshold Crossing: a threshold level is associated to each counter of an
activated PM point; TCA is raised each time the threshold is crossed by any counter,
during an accumulation period (a single level TCA is implicitly cleared at the
beginning of each monitored period)
• Dual Level Threshold Crossing: two threshold levels are associated to each counter of
an activated PM point: the Set and the Reset ones. TCA is generated each time the Set
(high) threshold is crossed during an accumulation period. TCA is reset (clear) at the
end of a subsequent accumulation period in which the counter that generated TCA is
lower than or equal to the Reset (low) value.

Transmission Frame
The G.709 standard offers a considerable quantity of service channels in the OverHead
(OH) bytes of the frame. These bytes are used for section maintenance (frame alignment,
network management operations, auxiliary communications,..).
For reader's convenience, the structure of some WDM frames is shown in the following
pages; in particular will be further detailed the structure to the digital domain structures.
Reference specifications: G.709.
Introduction
In the following is briefly described the G.709 frame construction (Optical Transport
Hierarchy - OTH), in client to WDM direction.
This paragraph is mainly dedicated to the adaptation of the 10 Gbps B&W client signals
(SDH/SONET...), into the WDM colored signals. A brief description of the 2.5 Gbps
B&W client signals is also given, in particular on the multiplexing structure to have the
10Gbps WDM signal.
The UNI interface is thus considered, client side.
In case of NNI, the input signals to the system is OTUk; thus, this is the starting level in
the structure (no OPUk and ODUk adaptation has to be performed).
Refer to Figure 3-9, “Optical Transport Hierarchy (OTH) frame structure” (p. 3-30). The
client signal or an Optical channel Data unit / Tributary Unit Group is mapped into the
OPUk. The OPUk is mapped into an ODUk and the ODUk is mapped into an OTUk. The
OTUk is mapped into an Optical Channel (OCh). In the next paragraph, an explanation of
these mapping will be provided.
The OCh is an information structure consisting of the OCh payload with a certain
bandwidth and non-associated overhead for the optical channel management. The OCh
transports a digital client signal between 3R regeneration points.
The OCh is then modulated onto an Optical Channel Carrier (OCC), representing a
tributary slot within the OTM. The OCC consists of the OCC Payload, assigned to a
wavelength/frequency of the WDM group, and OCC Overhead, that is transported within
the OTM Overhead Signal (OOS) structure.
Wavelength division multiplexing

Up to n OCCs are multiplexed into the Optical Multiplex Section (OMS) using
wavelength division multiplexing. The characteristic information of the OMS consists of
OMS payload and OMS overhead. The OMS overhead is transported within the OOS
structure.

The Optical Physical Section of order n (OPSn) is a network layer providing functionality
for transmission of a multi-wavelength optical signal on optical media of various types
(e.g. G.652, G.653 and G.655 fibre).
It combines the transport functionality of the OMS and OTS layer networks without their
supervisory information.
The characteristic information of the Optical Transmission Section (OTS) consists of OTS
payload and OTS overhead. The OTS OverHead is added to the payload to create an OTM;
It includes information for maintenance and operational functions to support OTS. The
OTS overhead information is contained within the OOS structure and it is terminated
where the OTM is assembled and disassembled.
The Optical Transport Module (OTMn) is the information structure that is transported
across the Optical Network. The OTM consists of up to n multiplexed optical channels and
an OTM overhead signal (OOS) to support the non-associated overhead. It is the structure
used to support OTS layer connections in the OTN.
The Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC) is the physical carrier outside the amplifier band
providing the transport of the OTM overhead signal; it is multiplexed into the OTM using
wavelength division multiplexing.

Figure 3-9 Optical Transport Hierarchy (OTH) frame structure

Refer to Figure 3-10, “Multiplexing of four ODU1 into a ODU2” (p. 3-30) where is
mainly presented the multiplexing of four ODU1 signals into the OPU2 signal. The
multiplexing structure is compliant to the ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 recommendation.
Each (of four) B&W client signal is mapped into the OPU1. The OPU1 is mapped into an
ODU1.
An ODU1 signal is extended with frame alignment overhead and asynchronously mapped
into the Optical channel Data Tributary Unit 1 into 2 (ODTU12), using the justification
overhead (JOH).
The four ODTU12 signals are time division multiplexed (bit interleaving) into the Optical
channel Data unit Tributary Unit Group 2 (ODTUG2), after which this signal is mapped
into the OPU2.
The OPU2 is then mapped into an ODU2 and the ODU2 is mapped into an OTU2.
The four incoming signals can be fully asynchronous. The stuffing overheads are inserted
in order that the client signal (e.g. STM16) is fully transparently transmitted.

Optical channel transport unit (OTUk) description

The OTUk conditions the ODUk for transport over an optical channel network connection.
The OTUk frame structure is completely standardized.
The OTUk (k = 1,2,3) frame structure is based on the ODUk frame structure and extends it
with a forward error correction (FEC) as shown in Figure 3-11, “G.709/Y.1331 - OTUk
frame structure” (p. 3-31).
256 columns are added to the ODUk frame for the FEC and the reserved overhead bytes in
row 1.
Columns 1 to 7 are dedicated to the Frame Alignment overhead.
Columns 8 to 14 of the ODUk overhead are used for OTUk specific overhead, resulting in
an octet-based block frame structure with four rows and 4080 columns. The MSB in each
byte is bit 1, the LSB is bit 8. The bit rates of the OTUk signals are defined below:
• OTU1 = 2.666 057 Gbps
• OTU2 = 10.709 225 316 Gbps
• OTU3 = 43.018 413 559 Gbps
The OTUk forward error correction (FEC) contains the FEC codes (RS or Enhanced FEC
or BCH).
If no FEC is used, fixed stuffing bytes (all-0s pattern) are to be used.
The transmission order of the bits in the OTUk frame is left to right, top to bottom, and
MSB to LSB.

Functional Description Equipment Controller function
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Equipment Control
Equipment Controller manages Shelf Controllers.
There is one active Equipment Controller in each node and one active Shelf Controller in
each shelf.
The ESCT2000 (Equipment and Shelf Controller) is the hardware platform designed to
support the Equipment Controller (EC) function and the Shelf Controller (SC) function.
The ESCT2000 board is in charge of the internal management of the node. It dispatches
controls received by management system to the appropriate board, check consistency
between expected configuration and the actual one and finally reports alarms, performance
counters and measurements.
When the ESCT2000 board is located in the master shelf:
• both functionalities are operational and active,
• a flash memory hosts the node software and the configuration database.
When the ESCT 2000 board is located in secondary shelves:
• only the SC functionality is provided,
• the flash memory is not required.
Note
To work properly, the control function needs to know some mandatory information that
XTID1000 (eXTended ID 1000) is able to provide. There is one eXTended ID unit per
1626 LM shelf in slot 27..
The eXTended ID1000 unit is an hardware extension of the back panel. Its configuration
must be done before the system starts up and cannot be modified without a user manual
intervention.
The following parameters are provided by the XTID1000:

• EQUIPMENT_TYPE (1626 LM)
• SHELF_ID, which locates the shelf in the NE configuration
(For master shelf, SHELF_ID = X0000001)
Equipment Controller function

The EC supports the Q3 Network Management agent.
It provides the HW resources (physical interfaces) and the SW functionalities (protocol
stack) required for the communication between NE and Management system (OS, craft
terminal, etc.).

The EC function can be split into several domains, corresponding to the main functions
performed:
• equipment - equipment type, release, address, authorized NMS addresses, rack
description
• Fault Management - Alarm Severity Assignment Profiles (ASAP), Alarms correlations
• Performance Monitoring - history storage of 15 Minutes and 24hour PM data

• Software - software version management, software activation, software download
• Support - Filtering, logging and forwarding of events and alarms received by SCs
• Routing and Addressing - OSI/IP routing capability configuration
• Security - access control.
The Database which contains the NE configuration is saved in the pluggable hard disk.
SC provides the resources to support the SW functions related to the physical machine
control and management and configuration provisioning.
In a shelf all the boards are connected to the SC via the SPI or ISPB (for PM collection on
ETHC1000 board) bus allowing the SC processor to collect the control information of the
boards (e.g.: alarms collection, remote inventory and data EEPROM reading).
The SC function can be split into several domains, corresponding to the main tasks
• Equipment - Detection of card presence with direct hardware link, Collection of
remote inventory, Check that card present in slots are the expected ones, Check
firmware version of the boards, Dispatching of provisioning requests received by EC
to boards
• Performance Monitoring - Collection of one-second primitives used for elaboration of
PM counters (15Min and 24 hours) which are then sent to EC, Collection of analog
measurements (if any)
• Fault Management - Monitoring of faults: local SC faults, boards faults (equipment,
communication, transmission), threshold crossing alarms
• Software - firmware download (via HW config bus on ETHC1000).
Management buses/interfaces
F interface: available from the EC function, CT is Q3/TL1 (supported in future release)
interface for the connection to a local Craft Terminal. It is a 38.4 kbit/s serial RS232
interface with a DB9 connector.
NMS Interface: available from the EC function, NMS is the Q3/TL1 (supported in future

Power supply
The powering architecture is distributed: two PSUP1000 (Power SUPply unit) cards are in
charge of feeding, in 1+1 protection mode, all the other cards hosted in the shelf. Each
card is able to provide from the main powering, by means an internal DC/DC converter,
the required power supply.
The main purposes are:
• Supply and distribute -48V/-60V filtered and protected voltage to all the boards
housed in each 1626 LM shelf
• Supply and distribute +3.7V and +5.4V protected voltages to SPIDER circuitry in all
the boards
• Give alarms on fault battery and voltages loss.
Functional description
Each Subrack receives powering from two DC supplies compliant with ETSI standard
ETS 300 132-2, for nominal -48V or -60V supplies. Each of the two DC supplies is
protected at the top of the rack by appropriate circuit breakers prior to being fed to each
subrack within the rack.
Each of the two supplies (-48V_A and -48V_B) feed one of the two PSUP1000 plugged in
each subrack.
The PSUP1000 units provide the necessary filtering and surge suppression of the -48V or
-60V input DC supply, prior to distributing the power supply to the units within the
subrack.
The filtered -48V/-60V supply is fed from each power supply unit to the backplane, the
power rails are then combined using sharing diodes on each card supplied with the -48V/-
60V power supply.
Under normal operating conditions the load required by the unit from the -48V/-60V
supply is shared approximately equally between the two PSUP1000 inputs.
At the -48V/-60V input interface of each unit, appropriate fuses shall be used to protect
the card.
The normal input voltage range of the power supply module is either:
• - 40,5 V t - 48 V t - 57,0 V
• - 50,0 V t - 60 V t - 72,0 V.
A battery return path to each of the two -48V/-60V supplies from the units to the power
supplies is provided.
On each PSUP1000 unit, a 3.7V (V3A & V3B) power rail and a 5.4V (V5A & V5B)
power rail are derived from its filtered -48V/-60V power supply and from the filtered -
48V/-60V of the other PSUP1000. The 3.7V and 5.4V power rails are then distributed to
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
3AL 75131 AAAA 3-41
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
all cards in slots 1 to 41 of the subrack.

The 3.7V power rails (V3A & V3B) are combined (using diodes) in the unit to provide a
single 3.3V power supply, that will be fused within the unit. This is to prevent a fault
condition of this power rail within the unit from causing a fault condition on the backplane
V3A/B power supply rail to the other units.
The same occurs for the 5.4V power rails (V5A & V5B), providing a 5.0V power supply.
Figure 3-18, “1626 LM - equipment power supply scheme” (p. 3-43) shows the equipment
power supply scheme.
Abnormal service range

The 1626 LM equipment operating at -48 V is not damaged if subjected to the following
voltage range: 0 V to -40,5 V and -57 V to -60 V.
When the equipment operates at -60 V, is not damaged if subjected to the following
voltage range: 0 V to -50 V and -72 V to -75 V.
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
3 - 42 3AL 75131 AAAA
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Therefore, the equipment accepting either a -48V or -60V power supply input is able to
operate within specification over the voltage range of -40.5 to -72.0V and will not suffer
any damage when subjected to an input voltage in the range of 0V to -40.5V and -72.0V to
-75.0V.

Operation & Management Services
Housekeeping
The 1626 LM system is able to interface with user's environment and/or another 1626 LM
system to build up maintenance operations by means of the HSKU (House Keeping unit).
Its main purpose is to send and receive data from/to master cards via SPI bus, and from/to
the user or another 1626 LM system throughout protected I/O interface.
The HSKU1000 allows the user to manage some electrical relays and opto-couplers
through the Craft/SH in order to command remotely some devices external to the 1626
LM. The user is thus able to
• be informed of the status of the input opto-couplers
• remotely change the state of the output relays.
Each HSKU1000 board provides 8 output relays and 8 input opto-couplers.
The status of the OUT relays can be managed (Open/Close) through the SW separately for
each relay. The IN opto-couplers status can be raised by the board to the SW separately for
each opto-coupler.
As regards the opto-couplers, the Shelf Controller poll them (IN1 to IN8) regularly, and
then this information is immediately transferred to the Equipment Controller and notified
to the management interface.
Rack Alarm Management

The Rack Alarm Interface Unit (RAIU) monitors the rack alarms to light On or Off the
lamps of the top rack unit.
Each shelf of all the racks (master and secondary shelf) is equipped with one RAIU1000
board which collects information on the alarms raised in the shelf.
This unit exchanges the alarm signals between the ESCT or the Alarm Bus (FANS and
PSUP alarms) and the Top Rack Unit (TRU).
These alarms are analyzed either by the ESCT board or directly by the Alarm card
(RAIU1000). Depending on the emergency of these alarms, the ESCT generates signals to
turn on LEDs on the or TRU and so to alert users.
The RAIU of the slave shelf only takes into account:

• the alarms raised by the fan modules or by the power supply units of the shelf via the
ALARM bus
• the information sent by the RAIU board of the below shelf when present.

Functional Description Rack Alarm Management
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The RAIU board of the master shelf collects signals:

• from the ESCT via the SPI bus
• from the EC via the URG, NURG and UP signals
• directly from the fan modules and from the power supply units of the shelf via the
ALARM bus
• from the RAIU board of the shelf below.
The RAIU board located in master rack is connected to the top rack unit, as shown on
Figure 3-19, “Electrical links between RAIU cards and TRU” (p. 3-47). Inter shelf
communication between RAIU boards is managed via an external cable on the front panel.
Main RAIU1000 functionalities:
• management of four output alarm signals to be sent to the TRU: CRI_AL, MAJ_AL,
MIN_AL and RACK_AL;
• back panel connection to/from the ESCT board via the SPI bus for alarm commands
(CMD_CRI, CMD_MAJ, CMD_MIN, CMD_RACK) or inhibition (INH_CRI,
INH_MAJ, INH_MIN, INH_RACK);
• back panel connection from the ESCT board via the URG/NURG/UP wires;
• back panel connection from the 3 FAN modules and the 2 PSUP slots via the ALARM
bus (1 more wire reserved for future used).
• two connectors are located on the front plate of the RAIU1000 with the following
target
• DB9 connector has to be connected either with the TRU or another RAIU board (on
RJ11)
• RJ11 connector has to be connected with another RAIU board (on DB9).
Note that the alarms of the URG/NURG/UP wires and of the ALARM bus (FANS and
PSUP) are made available on the SPIDER, so that the SC can read them by the SPI bus
and take them into account in its alarm synthesis to raise the appropriate command
(CMD_CRI, CMD_MAJ, CMD_MIN, CMD_RACK).
It is possible to stop (inhibit) an alarm, sending the appropriated INH data to the Alarm
card. So only the related commanded LED is turned off. If another alarm is detected by the
ESCT, the appropriated signal can be sent to the Alarm card which could command the
linked LED excepted if it was inhibited LED.
Alarm management
The back panel wires (URG / NURG / UP and the ALARM bus) are sent to a first logic
sub-unit whose four output signals are connected to an OR logic module, which uses also
as input signals four signals from the SPIDER to determine the status of each one of the
four relays used to command the rack lamps
• URG / NURG / ATTD, with TRU using.
If the RAIU boards of a rack are linked together, the four signals coming from another
RAIU are also taken into account.

The four alarm signals sent to pilot the relays, are based on the following logics:
• CRI_AL On, if CMD_CRI or URG
• MAJ_AL On, if CMD_MAJ or UP or at least 2 FANs in failure
• MIN_AL On, if CMD_MIN or NURG or 1 FAN in failure
• RACK_AL On, if CMD_RACK or PRM_AL or SEC_AL (or FAN_AL, not managed

Interconnection with TRU

In current release, the 1626 LM is used with
• the Top Rack Unit (TRU), in ETSI market
The RAIU board interfaces the TRU.
Three types of cables are defined to be used with the RAIU:
• to interconnect with another RAIU, a DB9 - RJ11 cable is needed
• to interconnect with the TRU, a DB9 - DB25 cable is needed.
Interworking with the TRU
The RAIU boards can be chained as described previously, or can be directly connected to
the TRU which has four DB25 connectors, as shown in Figure 3-19, “Electrical links

Ventilation
Fans are located at the bottom of each shelf (slot 41) of a rack with in addition an air filter
just below, as shown in Figure 3-20, “Fan shelf description and Rack partitioning”
(p. 3-48).
The FANS are monitored via the SPI bus and some direct wires are sent to the HSKU and
the RAIU boards to monitor a possible failure of the cooling system.
The maximum power dissipation per shelf is 640 W.
Figure 3-20 Fan shelf description and Rack partitioning

The main target of the FANS1000 drawer is to avoid overheating and possible board
damages.
For each FAN module, some HW parameters are monitored to raise board alarms such as
the 48V power supply failure, the fuse or the rotation speed.
They are then collected by the Alarms Logic to raise an HW failure of the FANS1000 unit
to the SPIDER and also an individual alarm for each FAN module on a dedicated back
panel wire (BUS_AL#i), used by the RAIU or the HSKU to monitor a failure of the
cooling system.
The TEMP_W_x_y (where x_y can be 1_7 or 8_13 or 14_20) represents the external
control of each FAN module rotation speed, by the boards associated to this module. In
fact, the boards of a group share the same back panel wire to control the rotation speed of
the corresponding FAN module: if the temperature of one of the boards exceeds a given
threshold, the board sends a command to the FAN module to increase its rotation speed.
POWER SUPPLY. Two +48V power supplies are generated by DC/DC converters from 2
external batteries, providing supply redundancy.
The 2 batteries from back-panel can vary from 36V to 72V. On the board the two 48V
voltages (48V_A, 48V_B) are coupled together by a diode and the battery with the
maximum voltage is selected.

The card includes fuses in the 48V supply.

The 48V voltages are then filtered on the Power Supply part of the board and then
forwarded to DC/DC converters to provide 2 regulated voltages 48V_1 and 48V_2. Two
voltages are generated for security.
The output of each DC/DC converter is connected to a comparator on the Monitoring
Block which generates an alarm (sent to the SPIDER) if the voltage is under 43V.
All components on the card are powered from the 48V supply, with the exception of the
SPIDER device which is supplied via the external backplane 3.3V supply.
Remote Inventory
See Figure 3-21, “Remote Inventory sub-system” (p. 3-50). The Remote Inventory
function permits the operator to retrieve information about any card present on the
equipment.
The available information is: construction date, code number, maker name, board
identification, etc.
The Remote Inventory information is stored within a dedicated EEPROM present on all
boards.

• EN 60825-2 ed.2000
• IEC 60825-2 ed.2000
Hazard Level classification and standards

The classification refers to the IEC 60825 Standard (with amendments 1 & 2).
This recommendation defines 4 HAZARD LEVELs for optical fiber applications in third
window (1500 - 1800 nm):
• HAZARD LEVEL 1, for optical power below +10mW (10dBm)
• HAZARD LEVEL 1M, for optical power in [10mW; 136mW] (10dBm to 21,3dBm)
• HAZARD LEVEL 3B, for optical power in [136mW; 500mW] (21,3dBm to 27dBm)
• HAZARD LEVEL 4, for optical power higher than 500mW (>27dBm).
G.664 standard defines the optical safety mechanisms:
• Automatic Laser Shutdown (ALS): Procedure to automatically shutdown the output
power of laser transmitters and to avoid exposure to hazardous levels
• Automatic Power ShutDown (APSD): Procedure to automatically shutdown the output
power of optical amplifiers to avoid exposure to hazardous levels.
This recommendation defines also the following areas for laser application installation
• Unrestricted Area (location where access to the transmission equipment is accessible
to the public). APSD mandatory if accessible optical power could exceed hazard level
1 AEL (Accessible Emission Limit)
• Restricted Area (location that is normally inaccessible by the general public but that
is accessible to personnel that may not have laser safety training).
APSD mandatory if accessible optical power could exceed hazard level 1M AEL
(Accessible Emission Limit) or if optical power can exceed class1 from connector
• Controlled Area (location that is inaccessible except to authorized personnel with
appropriate laser safety training).
APSD mandatory if accessible optical power could exceed hazard level 1M from
connector and hazard level 3B AEL (Accessible Emission Limit) from a failed fiber.
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
3AL 75131 AAAA 4-9
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
In any case of failure, the overall FIT rate of all the mechanisms inside the system that are
involved in the APSD procedure which is triggered by this failure, does not exceed 500
FITs.
In normal operating conditions (no failure), the system matches HAZARD LEVEL 1M
criteria.
During the restart mechanism, the system matches HAZARD LEVEL 1M criteria.
So according to IEC 60825 recommendation, the 1626 LM equipment is classified as
HAZARD LEVEL 1M
The OSC alone is classified as
HAZARD LEVEL 1
The following figures give the AELs of class 1 and class 1M. In other words, it gives the
maximum power that can be reached to remain in Class 1 or in Class 1M ; the integration
duration is 100 sec.

Optical safety labelling

The labelling of the optical sources is compliant with the requirements of the IEC 60825
Standard.
The labels reported below are put during factory settings. The labels are affixed on all
front covers that protect optical connectors located on the front side plate of all the units
involved in optical transmission.
In the following, some examples of labelling are reported.
The optical interfaces which have HAZARD LEVEL 1, carry the following explanatory
label
The following label indicates the presence of a LASER beam.

If the laser is a Hazard Level 1 product, this label is not compulsory.
If the laser is a Hazard Level 1M product or upper, this label is compulsory.
Example of EXPLANATORY label.

The optical interfaces which have HAZARD LEVEL 1M according to IEC 60825-1

Aperture and fiber connectors

The locations of apertures and fibre connectors are reported on topographical drawings of
units front view and access cards front view in paragraph “Units front view” (p. 2-49).
Engineering design features

In normal operating conditions, unless intentional handling, the laser radiation is never
accessible.
The laser beam is launched in optical fibre through an appropriate connector that totally
shuts up the laser radiation. Moreover a plastic cover is fitted upon optical connectors by
means of screws.
Optical Safety instructions

The safety instructions for proper assembly, maintenance and safe use including clear
warning concerning precautions to avoid possible exposure to hazardous laser radiation,
are reported on “Safety Rules” (p. A-3) and more specifically in “Harmful Optical
Signals” (p. A-6).
APSD procedure
The APSD complies with IEC 60825 1 and 2 and ITU-T G.664 recommendations.

Generic APSD rules

The purpose of the following rules is to comply with the requirements of eye safety and to
protect equipment against overshooting.
The proposed implementation complies with safety standards subject to the
Terminal if housed in a Restricted Area
APSD example: line failure between two LRs with unidirectional amplifiers
Figure 4-3 Example of line failure between two LRs with unidirectional amplifiers
Let us consider the right NE (the same actions occur in the left NE as soon as it detects the
LOS consecutive to the APSD procedure in the right NE)
1. The top right amplifier detects a LOS
2. It shuts down its first stage (overshoots protection)
3. The previous amplifier exists but is located in an other NE so the top right amplifier
has to shut down the other amplifier of the right NE: the top right amplifier writes a SD
command on its APSD back panel link.
4. As software knows how amplifiers are connected, it has configured (during installation
phase) the down right amplifier to read the APSD back panel link written by the top
right amplifier. As a consequence, the down right amplifier receives the SD command
sent by the top right amplifier.
5. The down right amplifier shuts down.
6. The low amplifier of the left NE detects a LOS, the same procedure as the one already
described for the right NE applies.

Alarm characteristics
Units Alarms:
Each port card or access card of the equipment is provided with a bicolor (green/red) or
three-color (green/yellow/red) LED on the front coverplate.
This LED indicates:
• when red, internal failure
• when green, in service unit
• when yellow, board in firmware download state.
Centralized Equipment Alarms:
All the alarms detected on the units are collected by the ESCT2000 unit which will
deliver centralized optical indications (by means of LEDs on its front coverplate).
Specifically:
• Red LED “URG“: detection of an URGENT (MAJOR OR CRITICAL) alarm
• Red LED "NUR": detection of a NOT URGENT (MINOR) alarm
• Yellow LED "ATD": alarm condition ATTENDED
Refer to “Units front view” (p. 2-49), where the front view of each unit and the LED
locations are illustrated.
Note: On the Craft Terminal (C.T.) and on the Operation System (O.S.) application
the URGENT (URG), NOT URGENT (NURG) and WARNING alarms are named in a
different way; the relation between this two terminology is explained in Table 4-3,
“Relation between Alarm severity terminology displayed onC.T./O.S. and alarm
severity terminology used for the ESCT leds and ETSI market racks (TRU).” (p. 4-55).

Rack Alarms:
Some equipment alarms are carried to a connector and used to light-up alarm rack-lamps.
Rack alarms are physically available on the RAIU board connectors.
TRU Front Panel LEDs (ETSI)

Marking Description Led color
URG Urgent alarm input from one of the shelves in the rack RED
ON if the RAIU raises the Critical or the Major alarm
NURG Non urgent alarm input from one of the shelves in the rack RED
ON if the RAIU raises the Minor alarm.
ATTD Attended: acknowledged URG/NURG alarms after an alarm cut off YELLOW
by the operator (ACO push button on the ESCT front panel).
SIG PRES Signal presence (power ON) GREEN
The TRU has four front panel leds: Urgent, Non Urgent, Attended, Signal Presence. Those
leds are managed by the RAIU boards of a rack, except for the last one which indicates
that the power is ON. The TRU has four DB25 connectors so that the RAIU boards of a
rack can be either linked together or directly connected to the TRU.
In NEs composed of more than one rack, the TRU of the master rack shows both the HW
alarms of the rack and the summary of the NE alarms. The TRU LEDs in secondary racks
only show the HW failures of the rack (from the FANS or the power supplies).
HouseKeeping Alarms/Commands:
A set of housekeeping contacts are available, located on the 25-pole connector of the
housekeeping board.
Alarm Attending:
The detected units alarm condition can be stored through the ACO (Alarms Cut Off) push-
button on the ESCT unit (Attended).
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
3AL 75131 AAAA 4-55
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
This operation will turn OFF the general red LED “URG" and will light up the “ATD"
yellow LED on the ESCT unit (Attended); the attended command is also sent to the rack
lamps (if present) through the RAIU board.
Trouble-shooting:
This equipment has been designed to dialog with a Personal Computer (PC) for service,
activation and trouble-shooting purpose.
Trouble-shooting procedure for the equipment and details of the alarms for each card and
relevant indications are described in the Operator's Handbook.
Connection with the PC is achieved through the 9-pole connector (F interface) on the
ESCT board.
The unit can be connected to an Operation System associated to the Transmission
Management Network in order to execute operations similar to those carried out by the
PC.
Characteristics of the cited rack alarms and Housekeeping contacts interface (EM type)
are included in “1626 LM system characteristics” (p. 4-1).

The PSUP takes a 48V/60V battery supply and filters it before making it available on the backplane.
It then uses the redundant (filtered) 48V supplies to power the on board 3.7V and 5.4V supplies. The
unit also uses the 3.7V supply (either from the on board converter, or if failed from the backplane) to
power its SPIder. The maximum current drawn from these power rails shall not exceed the following
requirement
Power supply interface according to ETS EN 300132-2
Power consumption
This product is designed for low power consumption. Developing new components with
very high integration density and low voltage supply leads to a significant reduction of
power consumption.
Depending on the number and type of I/F ports, the power consumption may vary in a
wide range.

General Safety Rule 1
When the equipment is in service, nobody is authorized to access to the components
protected with cover plate shields.

In case of absolute necessity, only Service Personnel or Technical Assistance is authorized
to access the components of an equipment in service.
It is meant by Service Personnel or Technical Assistance, any personnel which has
adequate technical knowledge and necessary experience:
• to be aware of the danger that he might find in carrying out an operation,
• to take the necessary actions to reduce danger to minimum for him and for others.
The Service Personnel can only replace the faulty units with spare parts.
The Service Personnel is not allowed to repair, therefore the access to unspecified parts is
not permitted.

The required keys and/or tools to access dangerous high voltage areas must be restricted to
Service personnel only.

• Do not use any inflammable substance or substances which could alter markings and
inscriptions when cleaning the external parts of the equipment.
• It is recommended to use a slightly damp cloth.

• Before to work on optical connections, carefully observe the faceplate warning labels.

Part Number and Change Status identification

Each unit or sub-unit is distinguished by:
• a Part Number: ANV P/N (xxx.xxxxx xxyy) (NOTE)
The last two ANV–P/N letters (yy, in the following stated as 'suffix') stand for a
"feasible alternative", they might differentiate two units even though still functionally
compatible.
For example: the units having P/Ns "3AL-34065-AAAA" and "3AL-34065-AABA"
are functionally compatible and, as regards the hardware settings, the hardware
settings paragraph (described hereafter) is applicable for both.
• a design & production series (change status): ICS,
The following table shows an example of evolution of "ANV P/N + ICS"
Table A-3 Example of ANV Part Number + ICS evolution
ANV CODE
P/N ICS
3AL 34422 AA AA 01
3AL 34422 AA AB 01

Note: The P/Ns used in this example have no correspondence with those of the
actual equipment part list!
In this example you can see that the production series is identified by the 'suffix + ICS'
in the ANV code.
Some of the possible positions of the labels indicating the unit's P/Ns and CS-ICS are
illustrated in Appendix A, “Labels affixed to the equipment” on page A-13.
As the Customer may have to manage many units of the same type (same Part Number)
but with different ICS, each hardware settings paragraph describes with possible different
parts the different setting options, according to all the possible P/N + ICSs. For this
purpose, when more than one setting versions are present, a table at the beginning of
the paragraph indicates the part to be used according to the corresponding 'suffix + ICS',
taking into account that:
– a change of the production series does not necessarily imply a change in the setting
options;
– a change of the ANV P/N suffix does not imply a handbook change;
– the SUFFIX and ICS must be meant as:
– from specified SUFFIX or ICS (included)
– to next SUFFIX or ICS (excluded) if listed

General Maintenance Rules

General Maintenance Safety Rule 1
• Clean and degrease all peripheral surfaces (contact springs and connection points, etc.)
of shielded unit before insertion for replacement.
• Clean the dummy covers of the spare units as well.

Use the elasticized band (around the wrist) and the coiled cord joined connected with the
ground rack when you manipulate the equipment. This will reduce the risk of damage for
the electrostatic sensitive devices.

• Screw bolt the units to the subrack.
• Check that the equipment shields are positioned properly (dummy covers, ESD
connector protections, etc.).
