7
Product overview

The CP3000/CP4000 unit provides the following framing formats:

• transparent
• HCM
• DDS

Different framing formats are used depending on the network requirements.


Proprietary HCM framing is used in private networks, DDS framing is used in
public networks, and transparent framing is used in super-rate applications.

The CP3000/CP4000 unit provides for configuration of subrate and super-rate


interface speeds. The G.703 Codirectional DCM operates at 64 kb/s; the other
data modules operate at subrate speeds (less than 64 kb/s). The X.21 and V.35
DCMs can transmit at super-rate speeds (greater than 64 kb/s) if a Super-rate
resource module is installed. The 2B1Q module allows connection to a remote
DTU providing data transmission of 64 kb/s or, when connected to a super-rate
2752 or 2753 MainStreet DTU, up to 128 kb/s.

Data can be directly formatted as DDS DS0-A if it is passed through an OCU-DP II


module. If one of the other data modules is used, then the data must be passed
through an optional DDS resource module installed on the Control card.

Local or remote The CP3000/CP4000 unit can be configured and managed using software, either
management locally or remotely. In addition, extensive troubleshooting and diagnostics
operations can be performed using software commands.

Local management Local management of the CP3000/CP4000 unit is through equipment connected
directly to the unit. Management is through the menu-driven NMTI or the Craft
Interface Node Manager software. The NMTI is built into the CP3000/CP4000
system software and can be accessed from an Alcatel 5620 NM workstation, a
VT100 terminal, or a personal computer with VT100 terminal emulation
software.

Remote management Remote management is through remote equipment connected via a modem or
through the network. An Alcatel 5620 NM can initiate an NMTI session, or the
Craft Interface Node Manager can be used from a personal computer connected
via a modem.

Total network
management The computer running the Alcatel 5620 NM is known as the Network Operations
Center. Network managers provide centralized control of all network nodes,
including interface configuration, connection setup, alarm logging, and problem
management. Alcatel offers a variety of network managers for networks with
different levels of complexity to provide sophisticated network management.

Software-configurable
parameters All settings on the CP3000/CP4000 unit, including parameters of individual
circuits, can be configured locally or remotely.

8
1. Introduction

Configuration settings are stored in NVM on the Control card, which allows the
CP3000/CP4000 unit to be programmed in advance to minimize on-site
installation time. A backup file of the configuration settings can be stored on a
personal computer.

Efficient problem isolation Extensive alarm reporting and diagnostic facilities detect problems before they
cause major service disruptions. An alarm connector allows monitoring of
equipment, such as a power supply or the door of a high-security area.

The CP3000/CP4000 unit has front panel alarm and status LEDs. An alarm
connector allows connection of external alarm equipment that activates when the
associated LEDs are activated.

Alarms detected by the node are sorted into major, minor, and diagnostic alarm
queues and stored by the CP3000/CP4000 unit. They can also be logged remotely
to the NOC via the network or via a modem. In addition, they can be logged
locally to a printer or terminal.

Diagnostic facilities include busy-outs, loopbacks, and system tests. Problems can
be diagnosed, or circuit or node configuration can be changed remotely without
dispatching a technician to the site. For example, with an integral CSU2 primary
rate module installed, a technician could remotely loop back the CSU2,
individual modules, and the cabling to DTUs.

Network messages The CP3000/CP4000 unit exchanges messages with 3600 MainStreet Multiservice
Bandwidth Managers and with Alcatel network management products so that
nodes can be configured remotely and problems in the network can be quickly
identified. Messages are carried using CPSS, a proprietary packet-switched, error
correcting protocol similar to X.25.

CPSS messages are transmitted over the T1 or E1 link. In a T1 ESF framing


format, CPSS messages can be transmitted over the T1 link’s FDL, leaving all 24
DS0s on the link free for voice and data transmission. In an E1 environment,
TS0 can be used to carry CPSS information.

If the T1 or E1 link is not available, CPSS messages can be transmitted to an


Alcatel 5620 NM using modems and the PSTN.

DPO signaling for DPO signaling is used in applications that require answer supervision on
pay phones outgoing calls, such as pay phones. FXS modules that support line reversal also
support DPO signaling, enabling the CP3000/CP4000 unit to be used in pay
phone applications.

Figure 2-5 illustrates an application where line reversals are used during the setup
of a timed call. The FXS module at the pay phone end, configured for DPO
signaling, transmits a line reversal instruction at the start of the call. The FXO
module in the CP3000/CP4000 unit at the exchange end, configured for DPT
signaling, detects the signal from the exchange when the lines are reversed. When
it is confirmed that this is the required connection, a second line reversal is
issued and two-way conversation can begin.

2. Applications

Dealer room The CP3000/CP4000 unit can be used as a channel bank for voice interfaces from
applications dealer boards, allowing multiple users to share the same E1 link. Financial
institutions using this type of equipment need end-to-end connections for voice
circuits.

A variant of the A-law MRD module supports Gen/Gen applications, providing


end-to-end connection of telephone handsets over a CP3000/CP4000 system
link. Both handsets act as generators. When a user lifts one of the handsets and
pushes a button on the phone, the remote phone rings. A typical application is in
a dealer room for quick connections.

Point-to-point Figure 2-6 shows the CP3000/CP4000 unit employed in a customer premises
network point-to-point configuration. One CP3000/CP4000 unit is located at a company
head office while the other is installed at a branch office. The units communicate
over a leased primary rate trunk, with all interoffice communications between the
two points being routed across this link.

The primary rate link can be T1 or E1 G.703. In Figure 2-6, the second primary rate
connection is used for add-drop connection to a PBX.

Product overview

Drop-and-insert, Drop-and-insert and bypass are traffic configurations that can be applied to a
and bypass CP3000/CP4000 unit used as an intermediary between two other nodes.
configurations
In a drop-and-insert configuration, voice and data traffic can be dropped or
inserted at circuits connected to each primary rate module of the drop-and-
insert node. Traffic is dropped from or inserted into the link connected to the
primary rate module. In the event of a loss of power at a CP3000/CP4000 node, a
primary rate link bypass is initiated automatically. This bypass allows traffic to
continue to pass through the CP3000/CP4000 unit. A maintenance option allows
a link bypass to be initiated.

In a bypass configuration, timeslots on one primary rate module are connected


to timeslots on the other primary rate module to allow traffic from one node to
pass through the CP3000/CP4000 unit to the other node. Traffic that originates
from super-rate connections (connections involving more than one timeslot)
may not be connected in a bypass configuration.

Timeslots configured for bypass cannot be configured for drop-and-insert;


timeslots configured for drop-and-insert cannot be configured for bypass.
Circuits connected as bypass connections cannot be connected to circuits
configured for drop-and-insert; circuits connected as drop-and- insert
connections cannot be connected to circuits configured for bypass.

Figure 2-7 shows a CP3000/CP4000 unit configured as a drop-and-insert node


with a bypass configuration. The direction of traffic is from Node A, through the
intermediary CP3000/CP4000 unit, to Node B. Data traffic from Node A is
dropped and voice traffic for Node B is inserted (for traffic from Node B to Node
A, voice traffic from Node B is dropped and data traffic for Node A is inserted).
Bypass traffic moves through the CP3000/CP4000 unit along circuits connected
through software from one primary rate module to the other primary rate
module.

2. Applications

Daisy-chained VCB Voice conference bridging provides a simultaneous communication path between
three or more voice circuits. The VCB can be used to provide an organization-
wide voice conference facility. VCB inputs consist of primary rate circuits, E&M
circuits, and other VCB outputs.

Figure 2-8 shows a daisy-chained VCB application. The CP3000/CP4000 units


can be daisy-chained to offer voice and data connectivity along a transmission
facility. For example, a daisy-chained VCB could be used for reporting
environmental and security issues through CP3000/CP4000 units installed along
a pipeline or railroad. In Figure 2-8, the optional VCB resource module is utilized
to offer a hotline telephone at each station along the link.

Design
The CP3000/CP4000 unit provides low-cost interfaces for short-loop
environments with minimal power consumption and heat dissipation, making it
ideally suited for customer premises installation.

With its compact design, the CP3000/CP4000 unit can be installed in almost any
location, including on a wall, in a rack, in a sliding-drawer assembly on a rack,
or on a desk top.

System The CP3000/CP4000 unit employs an internal serial bus architecture to support
architecture voice and data. The optional voice and data interface modules on the Universal
card transmit information to the Control card through this internal serial bus.
Voice and data flow between the Universal card and the Control card via a low-
density interconnect cable. The Universal card also provides buffering and timing.

Figure 3-1 shows a functional block diagram of the CP3000/CP4000 unit.


Network traffic connects to the CP3000/CP4000 unit through E1 or T1 network
interfaces. Traffic from customer premises equipment connects to the
CP3000/CP4000 unit through voice and data interfaces and is fed to the
corresponding voice or data interface modules.

Any voice or data interface module can be installed in any one of the 16 positions
provided on the Universal card. Voice and data entering the Control card from
the Universal card are automatically routed to the resource module for
processing, then to the switching matrix where the voice and data is transmitted
to timeslots on a T1 or E1 frame. Signals are then converted into DS1, DSX-1,
T1, or E1 format by the primary rate module and transmitted over the T1 or E1
link.

Control card The Control card contains the memory, a switching matrix, a processor, up to
two T1 or E1 primary rate interfaces, two TIA/EIA-232 serial ports, and one
alarm port.

The Control card requires at least one T1 or E1 primary rate module. In


addition, a Tone, DDS, VCB, or Super-rate resource module can be installed.
Figure 3-2 shows the location of modules on the Control card.

Interfaces and connectors The Control card has three types of interfaces for external connections:

• T1, for access to the T1 network via two RJ48C connectors


• E1, for access to the E1 network via two pairs of BNC connectors
• TIA/EIA-232, which provides connections to node management
terminals, printers, or modems via RJ45 connectors

An alarm interface provides one input contact pair and two output contact pairs.
The input contact pair monitors external equipment such as a door or an
air-conditioning system. The two output contact pairs can connect to external
audio or visual alarm equipment and are programmable to provide notification
of changes in Event Status or Status LEDs. The alarm interface uses a single RJ11-
type connector for the three contact pairs.

LEDs and indicators The Control card has the following LEDs and indicators:

• card status LED


• a seven-segment display that gives the count of alarms
• loopback LEDs

23
A closer view

Switching matrix The switching matrix connects voice and data transmissions from circuits on the
voice and data interface modules on the Universal card onto timeslots on a T1 or
E1 frame. It switches both control and data streams, and is integral to the
Control card.

Primary rate modules Primary rate modules transmit voice and data transmissions (from the switching
matrix) over a T1 or E1 link. One T1 or E1 primary rate module must be
installed in the primary rate module position corresponding to each active
network interface. These modules fit within the CP3000/CP4000 chassis and
require no external power.

The primary rate modules are:

• T1 LIM
• T1 CSU2 LIM
• E1 LIM

Resource modules The CP3000/CP4000 unit supports an optional resource module on the Control
card. The facilities provided by the resource module are used by other modules
that need them. The resource modules have no configurable options.

Any one of the following resource modules can be installed:

• Tone module (may be needed by FXS modules)


• DDS module (may be needed by data modules)
• VCB module (may be needed by E&M modules)
• Super-rate module (may be needed by X.21 or V.35 DCMs, or 2B1Q modules)
• –48 V module (may be needed by E&M or by FXS modules)

Universal card The Universal card provides four connectors for connecting voice and data
equipment, as well as 16 module positions for voice and data interface modules.
It has a single LED that gives the status of the card.

Figure 3-3 shows the four 50-pin connectors, J1 to J4, and the 16 positions for
voice and data interface modules on the Universal card.

Connectors The four 50-pin connectors connect to external voice and data equipment,
punch- down blocks, or the Universal Distribution Panel. Tracks on the
Universal card carry the voice and data traffic from the connectors to the voice
and data interface modules. The Universal card receives its power and ringing
voltage via a ribbon cable connected to the Control card.

Interface modules Interface modules contain hardware and some of the firmware that the
CP3000/CP4000 unit uses to support voice or data interfaces. The modules have
their own status LEDs, and may be installed or removed while the
CP3000/CP4000 unit is powered up. The interface modules are configured
through a node management session with the CP3000/CP4000 unit (see chapter
9 for a description of node management).

A voice or data interface module can be installed in any one of the 16 positions.
If a super-rate speed is being used for X.21 or V.35 DCMs, or 2B1Q module,
positions must be left empty to allow for the increased bandwidth required by
the higher interface speed.

The following voice and data interface modules can be installed in a


CP3000/CP4000 unit:

• E&M module
• FXO module
• FXS module
• MRD module
• OCU-DP II module
• RS-232 DCM
• V.35 DCM
• X.21 DCM

• 2B1Q module

Power supply and Variants of the CP3000/CP4000 unit are powered from a 90 to 265 V ac, 50/60
ringers Hz or – 48 V dc supply. The power consumption of a CP3000/CP4000 unit
ranges from 30 to 110 W, depending on the number and type of optional
modules installed.

A ringing generator is included with the power supply and is factory-set to 25


Hz for an E1 system or 20 Hz for a T1 system. If the ringer is set for 20 Hz, it
generates a 20-Hz ringing voltage and is biased at –15 V. If the ringer is set for
25 Hz, it generates a 25-Hz ringing voltage with the Tip lead connected to the
Universal card ground.

LEDs LEDs and indicators are located on the Control card, Universal card, and
interface modules. The CP3000/CP4000 unit has the following LEDs on its front
panel:

• Power
• Event Status
• System Status
• Processor
• Out of Sync 1
• Out of Sync 2

Timing The CP3000/CP4000 unit can be configured to derive its timing from the T1 or
E1 link, or it can use the internal Stratum 4 timer on the Control card. Two
timing sources can be configured so that the second can take over if the first fails.
If the network signal is lost, the system reverts to internal timing.

26
3. Design

The source failure threshold specifies how many times a timing source can fail in
an hour. The source failure threshold and source recovery condition are
configured via the node or network manager. If the number of source failures
exceeds the threshold, the source is disabled and is not used again until it is
enabled. The threshold can be configured as unlimited, ensuring that a particular
source is always used.

The source recovery condition is the length of time a failed, but not disabled, source
must have recovered before being made available. By continuing to use the second
source, rather than immediately switching back to the first one, time is provided to
ensure that the recovery is complete. If the recovered source does not remain
recovered by the end of the source recovery time, the source is disabled and is not
used again until it is enabled. The source recovery condition can be configured as
automatic, ensuring that a particular source is made available as soon as it recovers.

Universal Distribution
Panel The UDP provides low-cost and flexible external connections for all voice and
data interface modules on the CP3000/CP4000 unit. The UDP can be configured
for the voice and data interface modules on the CP3000/CP4000 unit by installing
the corresponding voice and data personality modules on the UDP. The voice
and data personality modules transfer the signals between their respective
external equipment terminations and the CP3000/CP4000 unit.

For detailed information about connector options on the UDP, refer to the
Universal Distribution Panel User Guide.

Configurable connections Any circuit on a voice or data interface module can be connected through software
to any 64 kb/s timeslot (DS0) on a T1 or E1 link (except TS0 and, if CAS
framing is configured, except timeslot 16).

Configurable voice transmission parameters are described in chapter 5.


Configurable data transmission parameters are described in chapter 6.

Alarm connector Simple alarm devices can be connected to the CP3000/CP4000 unit via the Alarm
(J5) connector (J5). The alarm connector provides for:

• monitoring of external equipment


• connections to alarm indicators

Monitoring of alarm
equipment An input contact pair can be used to monitor external equipment such as
security or air-conditioning systems. For example, to ensure the security of a
room containing communications equipment, a switch, activated by the room
door opening, could cause an alarm to appear in one of the alarm queues.

Connections to alarm
indicators Separate output contact pairs are provided for connecting the CP3000/CP4000
unit to external alarm equipment indicators such as audible alarm systems or
LEDs. One contact pair is for the System Status LED; the other contact pair is
for the Event Status LED. The external alarm equipment is activated when the
System Status LED and/or the Event Status LED is activated.

Primary rate Two connectors (J6 and J8) for T1 interfaces, or four connectors (J6, J7, J8, and
interface J9) for E1 interfaces, are located on the Control card and found on the back of
connectors (J6 to the unit. Voice and data calls, timing, signaling, framing, and network
J9) communications can be transmitted and received over the primary rate links.

Configurable primary rate parameters are described in chapter 7.

4. Connections

Serial ports (J10 The Control Card is equipped with two TIA/EIA-232 serial ports, labeled J10
and J11) Terminal and J11 Terminal, for connection of node management equipment. The
serial ports can be configured for the node management equipment device type.

Node management
equipment The following node management equipment can be connected to the serial ports:

• VT100-compatible terminal
• printer
• computer

A VT100-compatible terminal provides configuration and management through


the NMTI in the CP3000/CP4000 unit. The VT100-compatible terminal can be
connected locally or connected via modem. The serial port must be configured
for a device type of VT100.

A printer can be used to print alarms. The printer can be connected locally. The
serial port must be configured for a device type of printer.

A computer running the Craft Interface Node Manager or Alcatel 5620 NM can be
used to configure and manage the CP3000/CP4000 unit. In either case,
communication across the serial link is via CPSS. The computer can be connected
locally, via modem, or across the network. The serial port must be configured for a
device type of CPSS or CPSS modem.

A computer running the Alcatel 5620 NM is known as the NOC. Normal


communication between the NOC and the nodes in the network is via CPSS
through the network. If the NOC is connected to another node in the network, a
modem can be connected to one of the CP3000/CP4000 serial ports so that the
CP3000/CP4000 node can use the PSTN to communicate with the NOC if
network communications fail.

A computer running terminal emulation software is treated as a


VT100-compatible terminal device. The serial port must be configured for a device
type of VT100.

Serial port connection


parameters The following parameters are software-configurable for each serial port:

• device type (VT100, printer, CPSS, or CPSS modem)


• baud rate (300 to 900 b/s)
• flow control (software, hardware, or none)

The CP3000/CP4000 unit is shipped with port J11 configured for use with a
computer via modem and port J10 configured for use with a VT100-compatible
terminal.

CPSS CPSS is a proprietary communications protocol, a packet-switched system


similar to X.25. MainStreet products use CPSS messages to exchange
information with each other and with the Alcatel 5620 NM over the network.

CPSS messages carry:

• status information, enabling nodes to construct routing tables


• control information, allowing the Alcatel 5620 NM to send commands
to nodes
• timing information between nodes that have ANS enabled
• alarm information, allowing the Alcatel 5620 NM to gather
diagnostic information
• performance information, enabling the Alcatel 5620 NM to gather statistics

CPSS connections Typically, CPSS communications are established through the network over the
T1 or E1 link by identifying a circuit as the CPSS circuit and connecting it via
software to:

• an unoccupied DS0 (T1 or E1 link)


• 16 kb/s of TS0 (E1 link)
• the FDL (T1 link configured for ESF)

If CPSS is carried on the FDL, all 24 DS0s on the T1 link can carry voice and data
transmissions. The T1 framing bits are used to carry the CPSS messages. If CPSS
is carried on TS0, all 30 DS0s on an E1 link configured for CAS framing and all
31 DS0s on an E1 link configured for CCS framing can carry voice and data
transmissions.

In case of network failure, CPSS can also be used to communicate with the
Alcatel 5620 NM over modems connected to the serial ports (J10 and J11).

Viewing CPSS
communications Each CP3000/CP4000 node in a network constructs a routing table containing
CPSS communication information on all the other nodes in the network.

The routing table shows which nodes the CP3000/CP4000 unit can send CPSS
messages to, how far it is from those nodes, and which route it should use to send
the messages. The routing table information can also be used to assist in
diagnostic and maintenance operations.

4. Connections

Three routing tables can be displayed on the node manager to show:

• all the nodes in the network


• all the nodes in the network that are a specified number of hops away from
the CP3000/CP4000 unit
• all the nodes in the network that the CP3000/CP4000 unit communicates
with using a specific circuit

Data modules
The CP3000/CP4000 unit can be used to connect most data devices to a digital
T1 or E1 network.

Data interface The CP3000/CP4000 unit uses the following easy-to-install data interface
modules modules to support different data transmissions:

• RS-232 DCM
• X.21 DCM
• V.35 DCM
• Codirectional DCM
• OCU-DP II module
• 2B1Q module

Resource modules The CP3000/CP4000 unit supports one optional resource module on the Control
card to provide facilities for use by an interface module. Resource modules
provide
super-rate data or conversion to DDS framing format. The following resource
modules are available for use in data transmission:

• Super-rate resource module (may be needed by a 2B1Q module, or by X.21 or


V.35 DCMs)
• DDS resource module

Super-rate resource
module A Super-rate resource module allows X.21 and V.35 DCMs to support
synchronous, transparent super-rate speeds (interface speeds greater than 64
kb/s) up to 1920 kb/s. The 2B1Q module supports super-rate speeds up to 128

45
A closer view

kb/s.

46
6. Data modules

When an X.21 or V.35 DCM is configured for super-rate speeds, additional


primary rate channels are needed to accommodate the additional bandwidth
required. For example, an interface speed of 512 kb/s requires four module
positions. One module position is occupied by the DCM; the three positions
adjacent to the DCM must be reserved for the additional bandwidth. These three
positions must be left empty, or an optional filler module can be installed in each
position. The filler module is a plastic assembly that prevents other modules
from being installed in the reserved positions.

The T1 variant of the CP3000/CP4000 unit can terminate a single super-rate


connection without a Super-rate resource module.

Figure 6-1 shows an example of how each X.21 or V.35 DCM connects to a set of
contiguous DS0s on a T1 link. P1 and P2 represent the T1 modules.

Because super-rate connections cannot be made between primary rate modules


in a node, super-rate connections cannot be configured for a bypass connection
between one primary rate link and another. The Alcatel 5620 Network Manager
AAR can be configured to reroute high-priority, super-rate data if there is a
failure on the selected primary rate link.

DDS resource module A DDS resource module converts the proprietary HCM data format to
industry-standard DDS format and generates a ringback tone. This module
is
required to convert data equipment using non-DDS data format to DDS network
services or equipment compatible with DDS.

The Universal card brings the data signals received at connectors J1 through J4 to
circuits on the data interface modules. A node management session, described in
chapter 9, is used to connect circuits on the data interface modules to a T1 or E1
primary rate link. The node management session is also used to configure
module and circuit parameters.

Direct connect DCMs allow local connection of customer premises equipment into the
modules CP3000/CP4000 unit without having to go through intermediary equipment
such as a DTU or an on-premises CSU/DSU.

The CP3000/CP4000 unit supports the following DCMs:

• RS-232 DCM
• X.21 DCM
• V.35 DCM
• Codirectional DCM

RS-232 DCM The RS-232 DCM has two circuits that provide synchronous/ asynchronous
interfaces to TIA/EIA-232/ITU-T V.24 data equipment at subrate speeds
(below 64 kb/s).

X.21 DCM and V.35 DCM The X.21 and V.35 DCMs are single-circuit modules that provide a
synchronous/asynchronous network interface to X.21 or V.35 data equipment,
respectively. Interfaces on the X.21 DCM are compatible with TIA/EIA-449
data equipment. The X.21 and V.35 DCMs support subrate speeds and, with
the Super-rate resource module, super-rate speeds.

The RS-232 DCM, X.21 DCM, and V.35 DCM can be programmed to be either
DTE or DCE. This automatically defines the handshake lines and partially
defines the synchronous mode clocking sources. The control leads can be driven
from the device at the other end of the network or they can be forced locally.

Clocking modes The following three synchronous clocking modes are available for the RS-232 and
V.35 DCMs, depending on the gender:

• external
• internal
• slave

The X.21 DCM supports a bidirectional clock that operates in slave mode,
regardless of gender.

6. Data modules

Loopbacks The DCMs have bidirectional loopback capability. The RS-232 DCM can loop
back externally to the port and internally to the CP3000/CP4000 unit. The X.21
and
V.35 DCMs can loop back externally to the port and network, and internally to the
CP3000/CP4000 unit.

OCU-DP II module The OCU-DP II module provides two short-loop interfaces that convert DS0s
into a form that can be transmitted onto an on-premises, 4-wire customer loop
of up to 518 m (1700 ft). The customer loop connects to an on-premises
CSU/DSU.

The signal sent from the OCU-DP II module toward the network is in DS0-A
format for transmission to a DDS network. The OCU-DP II module supports
transmission over both the DDS and Switched 56 networks, at speeds of 2.4, 4.8,
9.6, and 56 kb/s.

The OCU-DP II module provides unidirectional diagnostic loopback tests.


Signals sent by the CP3000/CP4000 unit are looped back at the module. A special
bidirectional loopback is also provided that loops within the CP3000/CP4000 unit
to test an OCU-DP II module from the customer side. Standard nonlatching
loopbacks and dc sealing current are supported. Loopbacks are initiated by the
network.

Circuit parameters The following parameters can be configured for OCU-DP II module circuits:

• interface speed
• fault signaling
• Switched 56 operation

2B1Q module The 2B1Q module provides an ISDN-like 2B+D interface consisting of two 64
kb/s bearer channels and one 16 kb/s data channel. The B channels carry data
between the devices, and the D channel carries signaling and control
information. The 2B1Q
module is fully T1.601-compliant.

The 2B1Q module connects to a 275x MainStreet DTU at a distance of up to


5.5 km (3.4 mi) using standard twisted-pair wiring. The link terminates on the
CP3000/CP4000 unit so that data can be cross-connected to an aggregate link,
such as an E1 link. In this way, two remote devices, each connected to a 275x
MainStreet series DTU, can communicate with each other.

When connected to a super-rate 2752 MainStreet or a 2753 MainStreet DTU, the


2B1Q module supports super-rate speeds of up to 128 kb/s.

Loopbacks The 2B1Q module supports loopback A. Loopbacks B and E are supported by
the 275x MainStreet DTUs. Loopback A loops data at the 2B1Q module back
toward the node. Loopback A occurs on both B channels and the D channel
simultaneously, whether one circuit or both has been selected for the loopback.
The 2B +D frame continues to be passed to the DTU, which remains in
synchronization and does not reset.

275x MainStreet DTUs The 275x MainStreet DTUs support commonly used interfaces and protocols
to devices such as PCs and terminals.

• The 2751 MainStreet DTU provides two TIA/EIA-232/V.24 circuit interfaces


that meet the TIA/EIA-232C and ITU-T V.24/V.28 communications
standards.

• The 2753 MainStreet DTU provides two V.35 circuit interfaces that meet
the ITU-T V.35/V.36 communications standards.

Rate adaption Rate adaption allows several subrate data transmissions to be included in one
channel. The CP3000/CP4000 data interface modules support the following rate
adaption methods:

• transparent
• HCM
• DDS

50
6. Data modules

Transparent Transparent rate adaption passes data, signaling, and framing without adding
any signaling or framing, and is often used for super-rate transmission. It
supports synchronous data at rates that are multiples of 8 kb/s.

HCM HCM is a proprietary rate adaption method for private network applications. It
supports a wide variety of interface speeds for both synchronous and
asynchronous data.

Data can be adapted for HCM on the data interface modules and then
transmitted to another CP3000/CP4000 unit for subrate switching. HCM allows
highly efficient subrate multiplexing, providing up to twenty-four 2.4 kb/s
transmissions over a single DS0. Both transparent and HCM data can be
transmitted over the same DS0.

HCM divides a 64 kb/s channel into 80 elements of 800 b/s each, adds framing and
signaling information, and transmits control leads. The NMTI or Craft Interface
Node Manager screen, and the network management station display the HCM
frame as a 10 row by 8 column matrix.

Table 6-1 shows an HCM matrix. The first element in the matrix contains
framing information, indicated by an F. The second element contains signaling,
indicated by an S. Elements containing a D carry data. Any element that does
not contain an F, S, or D represents unused bandwidth.

DDS DDS rate adaption is used for transmitting data in DDS and Switched 56
networks. If a DDS resource module is installed on the Control card, all DCMs
and DTUs can be configured to support the DS0-A framing format.

Figure 8-1: 5620 NM screen

Table 8-1 lists the features of the 5620 NM.

Table 8-1: Features of the 5620 Network Manager

Feature Description

Sophisticated network modeling A relational database tracks the status of most of the MIB objects in the underlying network elements.

Fault tolerance/Disaster recovery Hot standby redundancy allows a second workstation to run the 5620 NM software and be continually
updated by the primary workstation. In case of failure and during upgrades, network control can switch to
the standby unit without interruption. The active and standby stations together form the control pair,
also known as the redundant pair.

Scalability The 5620 NM offers unparalleled scalability, managing networks of 10 000 core nodes,
500 000 edge nodes, 1 500 000 subscribers, and up to 255 simultaneous network operators.

Configuration management Network nodes and resources can be configured down to the port and circuit level.

Partitioning Service providers can design network-sharing structures so that they can assign as much or as little of
the network as required.

Connection provisioning and Sophisticated access/backbone link and connection-management capabilities provide precise control over
activation bandwidth usage and connection routing for PVCs, SPVCs, and SVCs.

Network map representation and The network navigation map displays the network hierarchy and a structured view of the network.
navigation Icons represent individual elements and information about the connections between them. An explorer-style
navigation tool allows operators to manage equipment down to the port level quickly and easily.

Node autodiscovery The 5620 NM automatically detects new nodes in the network and immediately initiates a process to
reconcile node details into its management database.

Customized network views Service providers can represent the network in ways that are most meaningful to the operator.

Management

Feature Description

Fault management Fault management includes remote diagnostic tools, alarm surveillance, and notification and tracking of
trouble tickets. Using the diagnostic tools, the operator can remotely set up several different kinds of
maintenance connections and routines for circuit monitoring and problem isolation.

Real-time status reporting An advanced real-time GUI provides visibility of the status of all network components down to the port
and circuit levels.

Real-time performance monitoring Operators have real-time views of the performance of elements in the network.

Trouble ticketing Network status changes result in the automatic generation of trouble tickets to aid in recording and
tracking network faults.

Fault notifications: CMIP and SNMP Alarms or trouble tickets are exported in real time to other management systems in the form of CMIP
notifications or SNMP trap messages.

Diagnostics and maintenance Diagnostics and maintenance include physical port loopbacks and busy-outs, in-band ATM OAM
loopback and continuity testing, and the capability to perform on-node and off-node maintenance
connections. Route PVCs and SPVCs display where and why there is a failure, including all
crankbacks in an SPVC.

Path rerouting and recovery The automatic connection recovery capability attempts to reroute all connections around any failure
due to a physical or logical (protocol layer) alarm.
If a network failure results in the loss of continuity of an end-to-end connection, the 5620 NM
automatically attempts to move the service to an alternate access point.

Performance data collection The Statistics Collector is a scalable statistics collection system that provides raw usage data across all
network equipment and technologies managed by the 5620 NM. It can be used to collect statistics on
elements such as PVCs, trunks and access links, IP interfaces, and X.25 resources.

Network simulation and testing The 5620 NM Simulator is a software application that looks and functions exactly like the 5620 NM but
allows network operators to simulate and test networks without attached equipment or bandwidth
resources. It is useful for training new operators without affecting live network operations and for
studying planned changes to an existing network.

62
8. Network and service management

In addition to the standard reports available from the 5620 AIM, reports can be
tailored to fit individual customer needs. These reports can be widely used by all
5620 NM customers to anticipate problems in their networks, correct network
deficiencies, plan their network growth, and allocate resources where and when
they are needed.

Alcatel 5620 Traffic and Service Optimization Module


The Alcatel 5620 TSOM, an optional module of the Alcatel 5620 NM, provides
centralized MPLS network optimization. It implements a set of technology-
leading algorithms that increases the overall bandwidth used for services in the
network, without violating service level agreements. The algorithms can route an
additional 30% of traffic through the network without running into problems
associated with distributed traffic engineering approaches, such as constraint-
based routing. Key features of the 5620 TSOM include:

• automatic discovery of MPLS networks and existing LSPs


• drag-and-drop provisioning of new LSPs
• network-wide optimization of LSP configuration
• automatic activation of explicitly routed LSPs in the network
• intelligent protection of primary LSPs by node and link disjoint backup LSPs
• static planning and simulation

Alcatel 5620 CMIP and CORBA OSS interfaces


Business automation is a key requirement of network and service management
products. The Alcatel NSM products have been developed with open systems in
mind to achieve integration with other OSSs. They extend the boundaries of the
network well beyond the interface to encompass non-Alcatel management and
independent software vendor application integration.

Service providers can also integrate their OSS with the Alcatel 5620 NSM
product portfolio using the 5620 CMIP or the 5620 CORBA. The 5620 CMIP and
5620 CORBA act as a gateway, allowing an OSS to manage a network controlled
by a 5620 NM with an object-oriented MIB. The 5620 CMIP and 5620 CORBA
support:

• path management
• equipment inventory
• forwarding and logging events and alarms
• monitoring equipment, ports, links, and paths
• statistics collection for ports and paths
• diagnostics and automated test management

Alcatel Connected ISV Partner Program


Service providers require OSS solutions that will allow them to offer new
competitive services quickly and flexibly to help realize aggressive ROI targets. In
addition, service excellence is required to continuously meet subscriber
expectations, to minimize subscriber churn, and to expand service options. To
achieve these objectives, OSS solutions must interact in an end-to-end fashion
with best-of-breed network solutions, including network element and network
management products. The Alcatel Connected ISV Partner Program is designed
to give service providers a precertified interoperable solution between the Alcatel
management platform and the appropriate ISV application. When purchasing an
Alcatel certified application from the third party, the service provider can be
confident that Alcatel and its partners have jointly participated in the application
certification.

CPSS messages travel through in-band or out-of-band CPSS links. In-band CPSS
links use the same medium that subscriber traffic uses, such as a T1 link between
two CP3000/CP4000 units. Out-of-band CPSS links use a different medium than
that used by subscriber traffic, such as an TIA/EIA-232 link between the 5620
NM and a CP3000/CP4000 unit.

Connection methods Network management equipment can connect to the CP3000/CP4000 unit
through network or serial connections.

Network connections
When the CP3000/CP4000 unit is connected to the 5620 NM through a network
connection, CPSS messages travel in-band over CPSS links that use any of the
following network links:

• timeslot 0 on E1 links (National Use Bits)


• the FDL on T1 links using ESF framing
• all or part of a 64 kb/s channel (DS0) on any aggregate or data link

Serial connections
When the CP3000/CP4000 unit is connected to the 5620 NM through a serial
connection, CPSS messages travel out-of-band over CPSS links that use the serial
ports on the Control card.

Node management The Alcatel element management portfolio provides a comprehensive suite of
tools for managing nodes such as the CP3000/CP4000 unit.

Node management
products The node management products include:

• 5620 NSM suite of products


• built-in node management interface

5620 NM node management


The 5620 NM has an intuitive GUI that manages the CP3000/CP4000 unit over
CPSS links set up for network management. The GUI is used for:

• node configuration
• monitoring
• diagnostics
• database backup and restoration
• fault management
• software upgrades

Management

Built-in node management interface


The CP3000/CP4000 unit has a built-in node management interface, the NMTI,
that can be accessed from a node management terminal or from the 5620 NM.

The node management terminal can be an ASCII (VT100) terminal or a PC-based


terminal running terminal emulation software or the Craft Interface Node
Manager. The terminal can be connected to the CP3000/CP4000 unit locally or
remotely through a serial port.

The 5620 NM enables operators to initiate a node management session while


running a GUI-based session. A node management session provides a
supplementary method of managing the node.

See chapter 9 for information about node management sessions and the node
management products used to conduct them.

Node management
The CP3000/CP4000 unit is entirely software-configurable. All functions are
software-driven, and all configurable parameters are stored in a nonvolatile
configuration database. All functions and parameters are accessed by reading
from and writing to the configuration database during a node management
session.

This chapter describes node management sessions and the node management
products used to conduct them. Most node management functions can also be
performed from Alcatel network managers (see chapter 8).

67
Management

Node management A node management session is the time during which you use the standard,
sessions menu-driven user interface, known as the NMTI, to perform configuration and
maintenance operations on the CP3000/CP4000 unit. Because this user interface
is common to all MainStreet systems, training needs are greatly reduced.

A node management session can be accessed from a node management station


connected to a CP3000/CP4000 unit serial port (directly or through a modem),
using one of the following tools:

• PC running the Craft Interface Node Manager


The Craft Interface Node Manager, a PC-based software program, is the
preferred tool for local node management. Designed for node installation
and initial configuration or on-site troubleshooting, it provides NMTI access
to all MainStreet nodes. The PC is connected (usually by a direct physical
connection) to a single node for the purpose of managing that node only.
All configuration and maintenance procedures can be performed through
the Craft Interface Node Manager.
• ASCII (VT100) terminal
Any ASCII (VT100) terminal (or PC running terminal emulation software)
can be used to initiate a node management session with a CP3000/CP4000
unit. Not all configuration and maintenance procedures can be performed
through a node management session initiated from an ASCII terminal.
Some procedures must be initiated from the Craft Interface Node Manager.
• Alcatel network manager
The Alcatel 5620 NM or the Alcatel 5521 PC-based Element Manager
Family can be used to initiate a node management session with a node.

All common control and node management facilities for the CP3000/CP4000
unit are performed through the Control card NMTI.

Configuration and The configuration database of any node can be downloaded in a newly
cross-connections commissioned system to reduce the time required to configure basic
attributes.

Configuration access can be restricted by the use of user-configurable, password-


protected access levels. Five access levels are provided to tailor user group
requirements with read-only, read/write, and no access privileges to critical areas
of system configuration.

You can copy operating parameters (except the circuit name and connection) from
one circuit to another.

68
9. Node management

Database All node connection and configuration information (collectively called the
management configuration database) for nodes is stored in NVM on the Control card.

Checking the NVM The NVM can be checked to determine whether the configuration database
has been corrupted. An NVM problem may be fixed by restoring the
database.

Backup and restore A node database can be backed up to an external device. If the node database
becomes corrupted, it can be restored from the backup file through a node
management session.

The backup file from one node can also be used to restore the database to another
node of the same type. This facilitates configuring a series of nodes with identical
databases. The node number and node name are not affected by a database restore.

Verify The verify procedure compares two configuration databases to determine if they
are identical. This procedure can be used to determine if the node has been
configured with the correct database.

Database management
access All database management operations are performed through a node management
session with the appropriate node. The availability of database management
operations is dependent upon the node manager type: NMTI, Craft Interface Node
Manager, Alcatel 5521 PC EM, Alcatel 5521A PC EM, or Alcatel 5620 NM.

Maintenance and The CP3000/CP4000 unit offers a broad range of maintenance and diagnostic
diagnostics applications that facilitate network monitoring and problem isolation.
Maintenance and diagnostic applications are:

• loopbacks
• signaling lead control
• alarm monitoring
• statistics gathering
• diagnostics

Loopbacks A loopback is a maintenance application used to isolate faults in a transmission


path. During a loopback, the transmitted signal is looped back and returned to
the transmitting device. The outgoing and returned signals can then be
compared.

Loopbacks are available on all voice and data circuits, on individual channels on the
primary rate link, and on the primary rate link as a whole.

Signaling lead control The incoming and outgoing signaling leads on the CP3000/CP4000 unit can be
examined. The outgoing signaling leads also can be changed to force conditions at
the far end. Table 9-1 shows the supported incoming and outgoing signaling
leads.

Alarm monitoring The CP3000/CP4000 unit is continuously monitored for abnormal conditions or
significant events. When an abnormal condition is detected or a significant
event occurs, an alarm record is created. For more information about alarms,
see chapter 14.

Statistics gathering The CP3000/CP4000 unit gathers the following types of statistics:

• synchronization statistics (T1 and E1)


• D4 and ESF quality statistics (T1)
• FAS or CRC-4 statistics (E1)
• Codirectional DCM quality statistics

Diagnostics The CP3000/CP4000 unit can perform system-wide and circuit-specific


diagnostic tests. Some tests are performed during the power-up procedure; others
can be enabled to take place automatically in the background or on a directed
basis.
System commands, given through a node management session, can enable or
disable diagnostics or perform a specified test repeatedly.

Diagnostics do not busy out a circuit or remove it from service. If the circuit is
required for a call while a test is in progress, the test on that circuit is terminated.
Similarly, diagnostics are not performed on busy circuits.

Table 9-2 lists the diagnostic tests that can be run.
