INTRODUCTION

2 Introduction
This section presents a general introduction to the LEDS1 unit.
The section is closed with a unit view in section Installation (page 31) and a
block diagram overview in section Block diagram (page 18).

2.1 General

This document describes the architecture and functions of the LEDS1 unit
and shows, how this unit is commissioned and operated as part of the
FOX61x.
The LEDS1 unit is a 1-slot wide service unit of FOX61x. It supports four data
interfaces and one Ethernet bridge port.
Each data interface is independently configurable as DCE interface type
• V.24/V.28,
• V.35 (Appendix II),
• X.24/V.11, or
• RS485.
The DCE interfaces support the following transmission modes:
• Asynchronous mode for subrates from 0.6 kbit/s to 38.4 kbit/s (future
release).
• Synchronous mode for subrates from 0.6 kbit/s to 56 kbit/s (future
release).
• Synchronous mode for nx64 data rates from 1x64 kbit/s to 31x64 kbit/s.
• Oversampling mode for data rates from 0 kbit/s to 600 kbit/s.
The synchronous nx64 transmission modes provide the codirectional or con-
tradirectional timing operation.
The Ethernet bridge port is implemented as 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX inter-
face according to IEEE Std. 802.3-2002.
Beside the data access LEDS1 offers the possibility to establish data confer-
ences with participants from the LEDS1 unit or any data circuit available in
the FOX61x.

INTRODUCTION

The LEDS1 unit as a FOX61x TDM unit provides PBUS (FOX61x TDM bus)
access.
LEDS1 has an access capacity of 32 x 2 Mbit/s towards the FOX61x internal
cross connection backplane, PBUS, allowing access of the four data user
ports, the Ethernet bridge port and of up to 212 data conferences with up to
848 participants in total.
The following network features will help to enhance the systems availability:
• 1+1 linear trail protection switching.
• 1+1 linear subnetwork connection protection switching.
A more economical use of the network resources can be achieved by the
features like:
• Point-to-multipoint linear networks (P2MP)
• Multipoint-to-multipoint linear networks (MP2MP)
The multipoint networks are using the data conferences.
LEDS1 is connected to a TDM transport unit as e.g. a SAMO1 unit via the
PBUS in the backplane of FOX61x.

FOX61x Release 1.

4.4 Connections and cables

4.4.1 Connectors and signals


The LEDS1 unit provides individual connectors for each of the five front
interfaces. The four DCE interface connectors use a 24 pin Metral connector,
the Ethernet interface uses a RJ-45 connector.
The pin assignment of the five front panel connectors is shown in Figure 6
and in Table 16 below.
The Ethernet interface connector exhibits 2 LEDs indicating the status of the
Ethernet connection:
• Upper LED (yellow): Blinking when a packet is received (activity LED).
• Lower LED (green): Steady light when the link is up and running (link
LED).
There is no difference in the indications if the link is half or full duplex or if
the link speed is 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX.

4.4.2 DCE cables


For each interface type, cables are available which provide the adaptation of
the universal unit connector to the dedicated interface type connector:
Since no DCE connector is standardized for RS485 only the unterminated
cable, i.e. without connector, is offered for the RS485 interface type.
Cables are also offered without the dedicated interface connector, i.e. unter-
minated.

Please note:
The latching clips of the unit side connectors must be positioned to the left
side to insert the connector correctly.

4.4.2.1 Cable for X.24/V.11 interfaces

4.4.2.1.1 Terminated cable


A terminated cable is used to connect the X.24/V.11 data interface to the
DTE. The DCE end of the X.24/V.11 cable uses a 15-pole D-sub female con-
nector, according to ISO 4903.

4.4.2.1.2 Unterminated cable


An open ended or unterminated cable with 8 pairs is used to connect the
X.24/V.11 data interface to the MDF or can be equipped with a customer
specific connector.

4.4.2.2 Cable for V.35 interfaces

4.4.2.2.1 Terminated cable


A terminated cable is used to connect the V.35 data interface to the DTE.
The DCE end of the V.35 cable uses a 34-pole female connector, according
to ISO 2593.

Please note:
The signal list of the V.35 interface is according to ITU-T V.36, i.e. the sig-
nals 113, 141 and 142 are added to the signal list of V.35. The circuit 108
has been added from the V.24 signal list.

4.4.2.2.2 Unterminated cable

pin of the data interface connector to the MDF or can be equipped with a
customer specific connector.

4.4.2.3 Cable for V.24/V.28 interfaces

4.4.2.3.1 Terminated cable


A terminated cable is used to connect the V.24/V.28 data interface to the

4.4.3 Ethernet cables


The Ethernet interface layout is per default according to the host layout, but
implements automatic crossover functionality (MDI/MDI-X), i.e. it can adapt
itself automatically to work with a host or a switch. The interface therefore
works with crossover and straight cables.
The following media types are supported:

IEEE standard Distance Media type
10BASE-T 100 m Category 3 SF/UTP or better
100BASE-TX 100 m Category 5 SF/UTP or better

Please note:
A straight Ethernet cable is available from ABB.

4.4.4 Fixing the cables to the cable tray


The cables must be attached to the cable tray of the FOX615 or the corre-
sponding device of the FOX612.

a. Table entries in brackets designate the electrical interface characteristics.


b. The signal list of the V.35 interface is according to ITU-T V.36, i.e. the signals 113,
141 and 142 are added to the signal list of V.35. The circuit 108/1 has been added
from the V.24 signal list.
c. Only one of the X.24 signals X, B and F can be used at the same time since they all
use the same connector pin.

Risk of operating trouble!


The byte and frame timing signals should only be used with user signals with
a bit rate ≤ 4x64 kbit/s. With higher user data rates the probability of timing
problems is increased.

Please note:
The transmit data or timing signals can not be used to synchronize the net-
work element.

a. With CAS enabled the timing signal is n ≤ 30.


b. This signal is only used internally to sample the data signal. On the DCE interface
none of the timing interchange circuits will be activated.

The V.11 and RS485 receivers are terminated with a 125 Ω resistor.
The RS485 interface can be configured to 4-wire (full duplex mode) or to 2-
wire (half duplex mode). In the 4-wire mode the circuit 103 and circuit 104
must be connected to separate wire pairs. In the 2-wire mode the connector
pins of the transmit interface (103) are used:

Transmit 103 Transmit 103

Receive 104 Receive 104

Figure 8: RS485 2-wire and 4-wire modes

5.1.2 RS485 2-wire control


With the RS485 2-wire interface type the receive and transmit data signals
share the same wire pair. Only half duplex transmission mode is allowed for
the DTE and the DCE.
As a consequence the receive data driver (R/104) is active only when
receive data has to be applied to the line. During the receive idle phases the
receive data driver is inactive, i.e. not driving.
The LEDS1 unit offers two possibilities to control the receive data driver:
• RTS controlled mode,
• Data controlled mode.
In order to avoid flow back of receive data to the transmit direction, the trans-
mit data signal in the DCE is fixed to “1” as long as the receive data driver is
active.

5.1.2.1 RTS controlled mode

In the RTS controlled mode the receive data driver is kept active as long as
the control signal RTS (C, 105) from the remote end is active (“0”). The
receive data driver is set to inactive as long as the control signal RTS from
the remote end is inactive (“1”).
The RTS (C, 105) from the remote end is transported in the CAS bit a, i.e.
control signal transport with CAS must be available and enabled.

FOX61xLEDS1 43
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Please note:
Control signal transport via CAS bits is a ABB proprietary feature.

Please note:
The data port at the remote end must be configured to interface type X.24-
V.11, V.24-V.28 or V.35, since the interface type RS485 does not support
the control signal interfaces.

5.1.2.2 Data controlled mode

In the data controlled mode the receive data driver is kept active as long as
the data is 0 and for a configurable timer period after the 0 to 1 data transi-
tion. After the expiry of the timer the receive data driver is set to inactive.

Receive data R/104


timer period

Receive data driver enabled

timer expired

Figure 9: RS485 2-wire receive data driver control

The timer period is configurable between 20 and 1500 samples of the over-
sampling clock rate. The timer has to be set at least to the duration of the
maximum continuous “1” period of the data signal, during which the driver
must be kept enabled.
Example:
Assume a data signal structure with a maximum of 9 consecutive “1” data
bits. The data signal has a data rate of 64 kbit/s, the oversampling rate is
320 kbit/s.
The timer has to be set at least to 320/64 * 9 = 45 samples

Please note:
The data controlled mode requires knowledge of the data signal structure,
i.e. about the maximum length of “1” periods.

5.1.3 Transport modes

5.1.3.1 nx64 kbit/s transport mode

The LEDS1 DCE ports support synchronous nx64 kbit/s user data rates.
For the transport over the TDM network the nx64 kbit/s data signals are
mapped to n time slots in a G.704 framed 2048 kbit/s signal.
Depending on the usage of CAS up to 30 time slots or up to 31 time slots are
available for the user data transport.

44 FOX61xLEDS1
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

5.1.4 Transmission modes

5.1.4.1 Synchronous transmission mode

The synchronous transmission mode is supported by LEDS1 for the nx64


kbit/s user data rates.
In transmit direction, LEDS1 expects that the incoming user signal at the
DCE interface is synchronous to the network element timing (PETS).
The incoming nx64 kbit/s user data is mapped directly to n 64 kbit/s time
slots, i.e. without any bit rate adaptation.
In receive direction, the user data rate is derived from the network element
timing. The data, control and clock signals are fed to the DCE interface with
this user data rate.
With the interface type X.24/V.11 and nx64 kbit/s user data, LEDS1 supports
the byte timing (B) or frame timing (F) signal at the DCE interface.

Please note:
Since the same DCE connector pins are used for the byte timing (B), the
frame timing (F) and the codirectional transmit signal element timing (X),
only one of these three signals can be active at the same time.

5.1.4.2 Oversampling transmission mode

The oversampling transmission mode can be used to transport DCE signals


with user data rates not corresponding to the configurable data rates. The
user data signals can be asynchronous (start-stop) signals or synchronous
signals.
This mode can also be used to have low and constant delays with low user
data rate signals.
In transmit direction, the data and control signals at the DCE interface are
oversampled with a (synchronous) clock, which is the configured clock rate.
The oversampling frequency has to be at least three to four times higher
than the user data rate. The resulting isochronous distortion corresponds to
the relation of the user data rate to the oversampling frequency, e.g. 19.5%
with a 25 kbit/s user data rate, oversampled with 2x64 kHz = 128 kHz (25/
128 = 0.195).
In receive direction, the data and control signals are output at the DCE inter-
face with the oversampling clock.
The oversampling transmission mode can be used in point-to-point, point-to-
multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint network applications. Refer to section
Network applications (page 49).

Please note:
With the V.24/V.28 interface, the data signal rate is limited to 128 kbit/s.

Please note:
In oversampling mode, no clock signal is available at the DCE interface.
If the DTE is working in synchronous mode, i.e. with clock signals, two cases
must be considered:

FOX61xLEDS1 45
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

1 The DTE delivers a clock signal (X, 113): A second DCE interface must
be used to oversample and transport the clock signal to the remote DTE
in parallel to the data signal. The clock signal is handled the same as a
data signal.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

5.1.5 MAC bridging

5.1.5.1 LAN modes

The port-5 on the front of the LEDS1 unit is a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX


Ethernet port supporting the following LAN modes:
• Auto-negotiation
• 10 Mbit/s, Half duplex
• 10 Mbit/s, Full duplex
• 100 Mbit/s, Half duplex
• 100 Mbit/s, Full duplex

Risk of operating trouble!


The LAN mode of the host connected to the LEDS1 Ethernet port must be
configured to the same PHY mode as the LEDS1 Ethernet port, e.g. both
ports configured to “auto-negotiation” or both ports configured to “100 Mbit/s
full duplex”.
→ Mixed configurations result in a non operational state of the Ethernet
interface.

5.1.5.2 WAN mode

The Ethernet frames are mapped to a nx64 kbit/s transport signal, constitut-
ing the WAN port to the TDM network.
Depending on the usage of CAS up to 30 time slots or up to 31 time slots are
available for the user data transport.
The WAN port encapsulates the MAC frames from the Ethernet port into
HDLC frames.

5.1.5.3 Queues and priority mappings

In direction from the Ethernet port to the WAN port the LEDS1 unit offers
four queues with a size of 64 frames each. The queues can be used for the
priorisation of the user traffic according to the 802.1p priority (VLAN priority)
or the DSCP value.
In direction from the WAN port to the Ethernet port the LEDS1 unit offers one
queue with a size of 128 frames.

The assignment of priorities to the four queues is controlled by a QoS map-


ping profile. Please refer to section Profiles (page 109) for information about
the profile handling and refer to section Profiles (page 109) for the configura-
tion of the profile parameters.
The LEDS1 unit supports four algorithms for the priority to queue mapping:
• IP
The DSCP field of the IP header determines the packet priority.
• MAC
The 802.1p priority bits of the MAC header determine the packet priority.
Untagged packets get the default priority assigned. The default priority
value is configurable.
• IP Then MAC
The DSCP field of the IP header, if it exists, determines the packet prior-
ity. Otherwise the 802.1p priority bits determine the packet priority.
Untagged packets get the default priority assigned.
• MAC Then IP
The 802.1p priority bits of the MAC header, if they exist, determine the
packet priority. Otherwise the DSCP field of the IP header determines the
packet priority.
The scheduling of the frames in the queues towards the TDM WAN interface
uses the strict priority algorithm.
Packets in the higher priority queues are handled first. Packets in lower pri-
ority queues are only processed when there are no packets left in the higher
priority queue. Q1 is the highest priority queue, Q4 is the lowest priority
queue.

Please note:
The priority mechanism does not modify the Ethernet frames.

5.2 Network applications

The main network applications with the LEDS1 unit are


• LEDS1 in a point-to-point application.
• LEDS1 in a point-to-multipoint application.
• LEDS1 in a multipoint-to-multipoint application.

5.2.1 Point-to-point (P2P)


The point-to-point application connects one data interface (data and signal-
ling) with another data interface through a TDM network.
The connection can be protected with 1+1 SNC protection on the transport
layer.

5.2.2 Point-to-multipoint (P2MP)


In the point-to-multipoint mode of operation a master data terminal equip-
ment (master DTE) communicates via a data interface to several subordi-
nated DTEs, the so called slave DTEs through a TDM network.
Communication is established in the polling mode. The data signal from the
master DTE is sent simultaneously to all slave DTEs. The master DTE
addresses one specific slave DTE. This addressed DTE activates its trans-
mit interface to respond to the polling request. After the complete message
transfer the slave DTE deactivates its transmit interface.
Collisions must be prevented by using suitable communication protocols
between the DTEs.
The slave DTEs can be distributed across several FOX61x sites. The maxi-
mum number of slave DTEs is therefore practically limited only by the com-
munication protocol applied.
Using the RS485 interface type up to 32 RS485 unit loads can be connected
to one LEDS1 user port simultaneously.

FOX61xLEDS1 49
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Using the V.35, X.24/V.11 or V.24/V.28 interface type only one DTE can be
connected to one LEDS1 user port simultaneously.
The connection in the TDM network can be protected with 1+1 SNC protec-
tion on the transport layer.
The combination of the data signals and the signalling is accomplished with
one central conference (preferred solution for a star network) or with several
conference circuits placed at all network elements with connected slave
DTEs (preferred solution for a linear network).

Please note:
The point-to-multipoint network setup supports the multi-master type network
topology.

5.2.2.1 Linear network setup

The point-to-multipoint application in a linear network connects one master


data interface located at one end of the linear network with several slave
data interfaces through a TDM network.
When the master terminal sends, it sends in direction towards the slaves,
and all slave terminals can receive the sent signal.
When a slave terminal sends, it sends in direction towards the master, and
only the master can receive the sent signal.
The connection between any two network elements can be protected with
1+1 SNC protection on the transport layer
It is also possible to implement a shared protection ring (SPR) for the protec-
tion of the complete LEDS1 network. For further information please refer to

The point-to-multipoint application in a star network connects one master


data interface with several slave data interfaces through a TDM network.
When the master terminal sends, it broadcasts towards the slaves, and all
slave terminals can receive the sent signal.
When a slave terminal sends, it sends in direction towards the master, and

In case that more than one DTE is connected to a slave network element a
local conference can be setup at this location. This is shown in the Figure 16

5.2.3 Multipoint-to-multipoint (MP2MP)


The multipoint-to-multipoint mode of operation is very similar to the point-to-
multipoint mode of operation. Differences are outlined below.

Please note:
The multipoint-to-multipoint network setup supports the multi-master type
network topology.

5.2.3.1 Linear network setup

In the multipoint-to-multipoint application, when a slave terminal sends, it


sends in direction towards the master and towards the tail end slave, and all
master and slave terminals can receive the sent signal.

Please note:
At an intermediate slave in the multipoint-to-multipoint application the differ-
entiation between “to master” and “to slave” is done from a protocol point of
view. The conferencing is the same for all participants, irrespective if they
are “local”, “to master” or “to slave”.

5.3 Conferencing

5.3.1 Resources

5.3.1.1 Conference resources

The LEDS1 unit has a fixed amount of resources available for data confer-
ences. Each conference that is created consumes resources according to
the maximum number of conference participants and to the participants
bandwidth.
• The maximum number of conference participants must be configured
when the conference is created. The following values are available:
− Maximum number of participants p = 4, or
− Maximum number of participants p = 8, or
− Maximum number of participants p = 16.

FOX61xLEDS1 53
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

If later on a higher number of participants is required the conference must


be deleted and newly created with the appropriate maximum number of
participants.
• The conference participants bandwidth must be configured when the con-
ference is created. The following values are available:
− Rate = 64 kbit/s, i.e. number of time slots n = 1, to
− Rate = 1984 kbit/s, i.e. number of time slots n = 31.
The conference participants bandwidth can’t be modified.
The resources consumed by a conference is calculated with
RC = p x n
Example:
A conference with 8 participants and a participant bandwidth of
6x64=384 kbit/s requires conference resources of
RC = 8 x 6 = 48 time slots.
The sum of all conference resources is restricted to 848 time slots per
LEDS1 unit:
RU = Σ RC ≤ 848 time slots.
The maximum number of conferences with 4 participants is
C4max = 848/4 = 212.
The maximum number of conferences with 8 participants is
C8max = 848/8 = 106.
The maximum number of conferences with 16 participants is
C16max = 848/16 = 53.
Due to the fact that the building block for data conferences is a 16 participant
conference with a bandwidth of 1 time slot, one building block can be used to
create one conference with 16 participants, or two conferences with 8 partici-
pants, or four conferences with 4 participants.
The following formulas apply for the calculation of the used conference
resources, where np is the number of time slots used in conferences with p
participants:
• Number of conferences with 4 participants =
C4 = Σ n4 + Σ 2xn8 + Σ 4xn16
• Number of conferences with 8 participants =
C8 = round-up (Σ n4/2) + Σ n8 + Σ 2xn16
• Number of conferences with 16 participants =
C16 = round-up ((Σ n4/4) + (Σ n8/2)) + Σ n16
Example:
Assume four conferences:
− conference 1 with 4 participants and 192 kbit/s (n=3),
− conference 2 with 4 participants and 640 kbit/s (n=10),
− conference 3 with 8 participants and 320 kbit/s (n=5),
− conference 4 with 16 participants and 1984 kbit/s (n=31),
The used resources are as follows:
C4 = Σ n4 + Σ 2xn8 + Σ 4xn16
= (3+10) + 2x5 + 4x31 = 147
C8 = round-up (Σ n4/2) + Σ n8 + Σ 2xn16
= round-up ((3+10)/2) + 5 + 2x31 = 74

54 FOX61xLEDS1
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

C16 = round-up ((Σ n4/4) + (Σ n8/2)) + Σ n16


= round-up ((3+10)/4) + 5/2) + 31 = 37
The remaining resources are as follows:
C4 = 212 - 147 = 65, or
C8 = 106 - 74 = 32, or
C16 = 53 - 37 = 16.

5.3.1.2 PBUS resources

The LEDS1 unit accesses the PBUS (FOX61x TDM bus) with a maximum
capacity of 32 P12 signals, each having 32 time slots. Five P12 signals are
reserved for the user ports and 27 P12 are reserved for the conference par-
ticipants.
Each participant can only access one P12 signal, i.e. it is not possible to split
the participants data signal to more than one P12 signal. This has the conse-

FOX61xLEDS1 55
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

quence that depending of the participants bandwidths not the full available
PBUS bandwidth can be used.
In the example below the remaining PBUS resources are:
• 7 participants with maximum 31x64 = 1984 kbit/s,
• 1 participant with maximum 27x64 = 1728 kbit/s,
• 2 participants with maximum 4x64 = 256 kbit/s,
• 24 participants with maximum 1x64 = 64 kbit/s.

Please note:
A P12 resource with 32 free timeslots is shown as two remaining resources:
→ 1 participant with maximum 31x64 = 1984 kbit/s, and
→ 1 participant with maximum 1x64 = 64 kbit/s.
To make best use of the available PBUS bandwidth, the resource usage
strategy must be taken into account when creating conferences. The
resource usage strategy is as follows:
• The P12 resources for conferences are grouped, according to the PBUS
line usage. Each PBUS line multiplexes 4 P12 resources:
− group 1: P12-5 to P12-7 (only 3 P12 resources),
− group 2: P12-8 to P12-11,
− group 3: P12-12 to P12-15,
− group 4: P12-16 to P12-19,
− group 5: P12-20 to P12-23,
− group 6: P12-24 to P12-27,
− group 7: P12-28 to P12-31.
• The groups are populated with participants from group 1 to group 7. A
new group is accessed when there are no remaining resources left for a
participant.

56 FOX61xLEDS1
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

• Each group is populated with participants


− first from the lowest numbered timeslot on any of the groups P12 to
the highest numbered timeslot, and
− second from the groups lowest numbered P12 to the highest num-
bered P12.
Example with conference 3 (8 participants, 5 timeslots):
• The group 1 is occupied with conference1 and conference 2 as follows:
− P12-5: timeslot 0 to timeslot 15,
− P12-6: timeslot 0 to timeslot 22,
− P12-7: timeslot 0 to timeslot 12.
• Participant-1 of conference-3 is placed on timeslots 13 to 17 of P12-7.
• Participant-2 of conference-3 is placed on timeslots 16 to 20 of P12-5.
• Participant-3 of conference-3 is placed on timeslots 18 to 22 of P12-7.
• Participant-4 of conference-3 is placed on timeslots 21 to 25 of P12-5.
• Participant-5 of conference-3 is placed on timeslots 23 to 27 of P12-6.
• Participant-6 of conference-3 is placed on timeslots 23 to 27 of P12-7.
• Participant-7 of conference-3 is placed on timeslots 26 to 30 of P12-5.
• Participant-8 of conference-3 has to be placed in group 2 since the maxi-
mum available resource in group 1 is 4 timeslots in P12-6 and P12-7. It is
placed on timeslots 0 to 4 of P12-8.

Please note:
Only created participants make use of PBUS resources.
→ The parameter “maximum number of participants” of a conference
does not influence the PBUS resource usage.

Please note:
The remaining PBUS resources usable for additional participants can be
read from the LEDS1 unit status dialogue.

5.3.2 Local Conferences


Conferences are accessible for local participants, i.e. from LEDS1 ports or
any other data unit in the network element. The conferences include also the
participants from the “to master” and “to slave” direction, i.e. from other net-
work elements, transported via the TDM network.
The data conference function performs the addition of the data signals. The
data signals are combined with a wired-AND operation. The wired-AND
requires all inactive terminals to send a continuous “1”-signal.
It is possible to control the data access of a participant to the conference by
the associated C/105 control signal. Refer to section Conference control
(page 59) for further information.
The control signals transported in the CAS a and b bits of all participants are
combined in a wired-AND function, i.e. if any of the participants exhibits an
active state (CAS-bit = 0), this active state is inherited to the combined CAS
signal.

5.3.4 Conferences in the MP2MP application


Conferences in the multipoint-to-multipoint application consist of a number of
sub-conferences. The number of sub-conferences corresponds to the num-
ber of participants. The sub-conference of each participant adds the data
and control signals of all participants except the own signal.
The designation “to master” or “to slave” has no relevance for the conference
itself, since the setup is symmetrical in relation to the network directions. The
“to master” and “to slave” participants are nevertheless required for the setup
of the transport cross connections.

5.3.5 Conference control


In a conference all inactive participants must access the conference with a
constant “1” signal state. Only the active participant is allowed to access the
conference with “1” and “0” signal states.
There are two methods to have the inactive participants in the constant “1”
state:
• Intrinsic access:
− In the inactive state the connected DTEs must send constantly a “1”
state.
− If a slave DTE is polled from the master DTE it immediately can start
to send.
• Controlled access:
− In the inactive state the connected DTEs must set the C/105 control
signal to OFF. The state of the C/105 control signal must be forwarded
to the conference, i.e.
- the ports control signal “105 (RTS, C)” must be set to “From-DTE”,
- the ports “signalling to network” parameter must be set to “Yes”,
- the participants “signalling to conference” parameter must be set to
“Yes”,
- the participants “signalling from conference” parameter must be set
to “Yes”,
- the participants “conditional interconnection” parameter must be
set to “Yes”.
The participants data signal entering the conference is set to “1”.
− If a slave DTE is polled from the master DTE it sets the C/105 control
signal to ON. The DCE (i.e. LEDS1 port) responds by setting the I/109
control signal to ON with a configurable delay. Now the DTE can start
to send. The participants data signal enters the conference transpar-
ently.
To permit the master DTE to synchronize it is recommended to transmit a
short bit sequence (e.g. flag stream or idle code) from the slave DTE prior to
the user data.

FOX61xLEDS1 59
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Please note:
The controlled access of a participant to a conference is only available if
CAS is available (nx64 kbit/s data rate).

Please note:
If using the control signal 109/I to enable the DTE transmitter the delay time
in the LEDS1 at the slave DTE location from control signal 105/C = ON to
control signal 109/I = ON must be configured to at least 20 ms when using
the oversampling transmission mode.
The DCE interfaces of LEDS1 are able to supervise the send time and idle
time of the DTE and to detach it from the connection point if the correspond-
ing limits are exceeded. This prevents that the system will be locked by a
slave DTE which continuously sends data. Refer to section DTE send and
idle time restrictions (page 101).

5.4 Data handling

5.4.1 Port data handling


With each of the 4 user ports the LEDS1 unit offers a DCE interface with
data, control and timing signals. The data signals are the transmit signal T/
103 and the receive signal R/104.

The data handling can be configured with the following control and mainte-
nance mechanisms:
• Interface mode 2-wire or 4-wire:
The RS485 interface type can be configured to 2-wire mode, i.e. half
duplex mode of the RS485 bus, or to 4-wire mode, i.e. full duplex mode
of the RS485 bus.
With the 2-wire mode the squelch function inserts a “1” signal in transmit
direction as long as the driver in receive direction is active.
All other interface types use the full duplex mode with separate transmit
and receive signals.

60 FOX61xLEDS1
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Please note:
The signal monitoring status on the receive data signal shows the signal sta-
tus before the buffer in receive direction.
→ With the RS485 2-wire interface type and RTS controlled mode there
can be activity on the data signal also when the buffer in receive direc-
tion is disabled. The activity is shown in the port status “To DTE”
parameters.
• Data signal inversion (transmit signal T/103 and receive signal R/104):
In order to be compatible with DTEs using inverted logic, the transmit and
the receive data signal can be inverted.
• Consequent action (transmit signal T/103):
On a detected failure in the transmit data signal T/103 or the transmit tim-
ing signal X/113, the data is replaced with a “1” or “0” signal. The conse-
quent action can be disabled.
On a detected send or idle time filter violation the data is replaced with a
“1” signal. The consequent action can be disabled.

Please note:
The level detection on the transmit data signal T/103 is not available for the
RS485 2-wire interface type.
• Loop 3c:
The maintenance function “Loop 3c” loops the transmit data signal back
to the receive direction. For details please refer to section Loop 3c
(page 98).
• Loop 2b:
The maintenance function “Loop 2b” loops the receive data signal back to
the transmit direction. For details please refer to section Loop 2b
(page 97).
• Loop 3b:
The maintenance function “Loop 3b” loops the transmit data signal back
to the receive direction. For details please refer to section Loop 3b
(page 98).
• Interface line state “out of service”:
The maintenance function “out of service” of an interface replaces the
transmit signal going to the PBUS by a “1” signal.
In receive direction the data signal from the PBUS is replaced by a “1”
signal.
• Interface line state “test pattern insertion”:
The maintenance function “test pattern insertion” replaces in receive
direction the data signal by a continuous test pattern “1010”.
• Protection switching:
In receive direction a working and a protecting channel can be config-
ured. Switching criteria are “trail signal fail” and “trail signal degrade” from
the P12 transport unit. With CAS enabled in the CTP configuration, CAS
AIS is an additional switching criterion.
• Consequent action (receive signal R/104):
On a detected failure in the receive signal the data is replaced with a “0”
or “1” signal.

FOX61xLEDS1 61
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

5.4.2 Conference data handling


The LEDS1 unit offers data conferences with a maximum of 16 participants
per conference. The transmit data signals of all participants are combined in
a wired-AND function, i.e. if any of the participants exhibits an active state
(“0”), this active state is inherited to the combined data signal.
With X-interface type conferences the byte and frame timing is maintained.
In the multipoint-to-multipoint (MP2MP) application, all participants are han-
dled identically. Each participant has its own sub-conference. The sub-con-
ference of each participant adds the data signals of all participants except
the own signal.

The data handling can be configured with the following control mechanisms:
• Participant configuration “signalling to conference”:
The “signalling to conference” parameter allows to control the forwarding
of control signals towards the conference. This parameter influences also
the forwarding of the data signal in case of the conditional interconnection
(see below). If “signalling to conference” is set to “No” the “conditional
interconnection” parameter set to “Yes” disables the forwarding of the
data signal.

FOX61xLEDS1 63
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

• Participant configuration “conditional interconnection”:


The conditional interconnection function allows to control the access of a
participants data signal to the conference by the signal state of the con-
trol signal C/105, which has to be available at the conference input, i.e.
the port configuration must enable the forwarding of control signals to the
network (“signalling to network” = “Yes”) and the participant configuration
must enable the forwarding of control signals to the conference (“signal-
ling to conference” = “Yes”.
• Participant line state “out of service”:
The maintenance function “out of service” of a participant replaces the
transmit signal going to the PBUS by a “1” signal.
In receive direction the data signal from the PBUS is replaced by a “1”
signal.
• Participant line state “test pattern insertion”:
The maintenance function “test pattern insertion” replaces in receive
direction the data signal by a continuous test pattern “1010”.
• Protection switching:
In receive direction a working and a protecting channel can be config-
ured. Switching criteria are “trail signal fail” and “trail signal degrade” from
the P12 transport unit. With CAS enabled in the CTP configuration, CAS
AIS is an additional switching criterion.
• Consequent action (receive direction):
On a detected failure in the receive signal the data is replaced with a “1”
signal.

5.5 Control signal handling

5.5.1 Overview
Depending on the interface type used different control signals are available.
Refer to Table 19: Data, control and timing signals with their electrical char-
acteristics (page 41).
• C/105 (to DCE)
In normal operation the control signal C/105 is used by the DCE as an
indication that the DTE is ready to transmit data.
When using CAS the state of the control signal C/105 can be transported
to the remote DCE in the CAS a bit.
• 106 (from DCE)
The control signal 106 informs the DTE that it can start to send data.
The state of the control signal 106 can be controlled by the local control
signal 105 with various delay settings. The delay time can be configured
to
− 0, 10, 20 or 40 ms.
The delay is active for the OFF to ON and ON to OFF state transitions.
• 107 (from DCE)
The control signal 107 informs the DTE that the remote DTE is in fault
free operation.
When using CAS the state of the control signal 107 can be controlled by
the remote DCE via the CAS b bit which transports the remote state of
the control signal 108.

64 FOX61xLEDS1
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

• 108 (to DCE)


The control signal 108 is used to inform the DCE that the DTE is fault free
and in operation.
When using CAS the state of the control signal 108 can be transported to
the remote DCE in the CAS b bit.
• I/109 (from DCE)
The control signal I/109 is used to ready the DTE for receiving data from
the DCE.
The state of the control signal I/109 can be controlled by the local control
signal C/105 with various delay settings. The delay time can be config-
ured to
− 0, 10, 20 or 40 ms.
The delay is active for the OFF to ON and ON to OFF state transitions.
When using CAS the state of the control signal 109/I can be controlled by
the remote DCE via the CAS a bit which transports the remote state of
the control signal C/105.

The control signal handling can be configured with the following control and
maintenance mechanisms:
• Consequent action on a failure of the T/103 data signal or of the X/113
timing signal:
On a detected failure in the transmit signal the control signals C/105 and
108 towards the network are set to OFF.
• Configuration in transmit direction:
The incoming control signals C/105 and 108 can be replaced by a fixed
ON or OFF value.
• Loop 3c:
The maintenance function “Loop 3c” loops the control signal 108 back to
the control signal 107 and loops the control signal C/105 back to the con-
trol signal I/109. In transmit direction the control signals C/105 and 108
are set to OFF. The loop is near the DCE interface. For details please
refer to section Loop 3c (page 98).

68 FOX61xLEDS1
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

• Loop 2b:
If the control signals C/105 or 108 are configured to “from DTE”, the
maintenance function “Loop 2b” loops the control signal I/109 received
from the network back to the control signal C/105 and loops the control
signal 107 received from the network back to the control signal 108. If the
control signals C/105 or 108 are not configured to “from DTE”, the control
signals C/105 and 108 towards the network remain unchanged.
In receive direction the control signals 107, I/109 and 106 are set to OFF.
The loop is near the DCE interface. For details please refer to section
Loop 2b (page 97).
• Loop 3b:
The maintenance function “Loop 3b” loops the control signal 108 back to
the control signal 107 and loops the control signal C/105 back to the con-
trol signal I/109. In transmit direction the control signals C/105 and 108
are set to OFF. The loop is near the PBUS interface. For details please
refer to section Loop 3b (page 98).
• Control signal transport, transmit direction:
If CAS is used in the nx64 kbit/s mode the state of the control signal C/
105 is transported to the remote DCE via the CAS a bit and the state of
the control signal 108 is transported to the remote DCE via the CAS b bit.
The CAS pattern is inserted in all positions of the used time slots.
The transport of signalling information towards the network can be disa-
bled with the “signalling to network” parameter set to “No”:
In the nx64 kbit/s mode the CAS abcd pattern is the idle pattern “1101”.
• Interface line state “out of service”, transmit and receive direction:
In transmit direction the AIS-CAS pattern (1111) is inserted in all posi-
tions of the used time slots and the TSD and TSF signals are activated.
TSF and TSD are the FOX61x internal failure signals used to control the
protection switching.
In receive direction the control signals 106, 107 and I/109 are all set to
OFF.
• Protection switching:
In receive direction a working and a protecting channel can be config-
ured. Switching criteria are “trail signal fail” and “trail signal degrade” from
the P12 transport unit. With CAS enabled in the CTP configuration, CAS
AIS is an additional switching criterion.
• Consequent action (receive control signals):
On a detected failure in the receive signal the data is replaced with a “1”
or “0” signal (refer to the section Port data handling (page 60)). The CAS
is replaced with the CAS-AIS pattern. Consequently all control signals are
set to OFF.
• Control signal transport, receive direction:
If CAS is used in the nx64 kbit/s mode the state of the control signal I/109
can be controlled from the remote DCE via the CAS a bit and the state of
the control signal 107 can be controlled from the remote DCE via the
CAS b bit. The CAS pattern of the first used time slot is evaluated.
• Interface line state “test pattern insertion”:
The maintenance function “test pattern insertion” sets in receive direction
the control signals 106, 107 and I/109 to OFF.
• Configuration in receive direction:
The outgoing control signal 106 can be replaced by a fixed ON or OFF
value.
The outgoing control signal 107 can be replaced by a fixed ON or OFF
value or can be controlled by the control signal 108.

FOX61xLEDS1 69
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The outgoing control signal I/109 can be replaced by a fixed ON or OFF


value or can be controlled by the control signal C/105 with a configurable
delay.

Please note:
The nx64 kbit/s mode not using CAS provides no means for the transport of
control signals to the remote DCE.
→ Use CAS to enable control signal transport. This is an ABB proprietary
feature.
→ CAS is enabled when the configuration parameter “Signalling to net-
work” is set to “Yes”

Please note:
If a port requires CAS for the control signal transport CAS must be enabled
on the P12 transport signal.
→ The termination mode of the P12 transport signal must be set to
“PCM30” or “PCM30C”.

Risk of operating trouble!


It is possible to create a cross connection from a LEDS1 port using CAS to
another CTP not using CAS.
→ This would result in a non operational control signal transport.

5.5.4 Conference control signal handling


The LEDS1 unit offers conferences with a maximum of 16 participants per
conference. The transmit control signals of all participants are combined in a
wired-AND function, i.e. if any of the participants exhibits an active state
(ON), this active state is inherited to the combined control signal.
With nx64 kbit/s the control signals are extracted from the CAS a and b bits
of the first used time slot. The combined signal is reinserted into the CAS a
and b bits in all positions of the used time slots.
With X-interface type conferences the byte and frame timing is maintained.
In the multipoint-to-multipoint (MP2MP) application, all participants are han-
dled identically. Each participant has its own sub-conference. The sub-con-
ference of each participant adds the control signals of all participants except
the own signal.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The control signal handling can be configured with the following control
mechanisms:
• Protection switching:
In receive direction a working and a protecting channel can be config-
ured. Switching criteria are “trail signal fail” and “trail signal degrade” from
the P12 transport unit. With CAS enabled in the CTP configuration, CAS
AIS is an additional switching criterion.
• Consequent action:
On a detected failure in the receive signal the data is replaced with a “1”
or “0” signal (refer to the section Conference data handling (page 62)).
The CAS is replaced with the CAS-AIS pattern. Consequently all control
signals are set to OFF.
• Control signal transport, receive direction:
If CAS is used in the nx64 kbit/s mode the a and b bits are demapped
from the CAS. The CAS pattern of the first used time slot is evaluated.
Control signals can be blocked from accessing the conference circuit with
the “signalling to conference” parameter set to “No”. In this case the con-
trol signals are set to OFF.
If the “conditional interconnection” parameter is set to “Yes”, the control
signals are only forwarded to the conference if the CAS a bit, correspond-
ing to the control signal C/105, is ON.
• Participant state “out of service”:
The maintenance function “out of service” of a participant simulates a fail-
ure of the participant in receive and transmit direction.
In the nx64 kbit/s mode the a and b bits are set to OFF in receive direc-
tion. In transmit direction the CAS-AIS pattern (1111) is inserted in all
positions of the used time slots and the TSD and TSF signals are acti-
vated. TSF and TSD are the FOX61x internal failure signals used to con-
trol the protection switching.
• Participant state “test pattern insertion”:
If CAS is used in the nx64 kbit/s mode the a and b bits are set to OFF in
receive direction.
• Control signal transport, transmit direction:
If CAS is used in the nx64 kbit/s mode the a and b bits are mapped to the
CAS. The CAS pattern is inserted in all positions of the used time slots.
Control signals can be blocked from accessing the network with the “sig-
nalling from conference” parameter set to “No”:
In the nx64 kbit/s mode the CAS pattern in transmit direction is replaced
by the default pattern (1101).

Please note:
The nx64 kbit/s mode not using CAS provides no means for the transport of
control signals to the remote DCE.
→ Use CAS to enable control signal transport. This is an ABB proprietary
feature.
→ CAS is enabled with the following configuration parameters set to
“Yes”:
“Signalling to conference”,
“Signalling from conference”.

FOX61xLEDS1 73
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Please note:
If a conference participant requires CAS for the control signal transport CAS
must be enabled on the P12 transport signal.
→ The termination mode of the P12 transport signal must be set to
“PCM30” or “PCM30C”.

Risk of operating trouble!


It is possible to create a cross connection from a LEDS1 conference partici-
pant using CAS to another CTP not using CAS.
→ This would result in a non operational control signal transport.

5.6 Timing handling

5.6.1 DTE synchronization


In the connection to a DTE, LEDS1 acts as a DCE.

5.6.1.1 Codirectional timing

With codirectional timing the data signal is in both directions, to and from the
DTE, accompanied by its corresponding clock signal. The source for the
receive timing signal is the DCE, the source for the transmit timing signal is
the DTE.
Since the LEDS1 expects the transmit data signal to be synchronous to the
network element timing (PETS), the transmit timing signal must be synchro-
nized to the receive timing signal inside the DTE (loop timing).

5.6.1.2 Contradirectional timing

receive timing signals.
With the X.24/V.11 interface type, the byte timing or frame start identification
signal is available.

Figure 33: Contradirectional timing

Please note:
Contradirectional timing is problematic with higher user data rates, i.e. when
the delay time on the interconnection from the DCE to the DTE and back to
the DCE is in the range of a half unit interval (UI) of the user data rate. In this
case the correct sampling of the data signal can not be guaranteed with the
fixed timing configuration. The adaptive timing configuration should be used
instead.

Please note:
The adaptive timing configuration should not be used together with the byte
timing since the timing relationship between signal element timing and byte
timing is then no more defined.

5.6.2 Port timing signals


Timing signals are used in the synchronous transmission mode of the DCE
interface. With the oversampling transmission mode the timing signals are
not used and are correspondingly disabled.
All timing signals generated by the LEDS1 unit, i.e. 114, 115, S, B and F are
synchronous to the network element timing source, i.e. the PETS. The
nx64 kHz timing signals are derived with appropriate dividers from the PETS.
The frame timing signal F is synchronous to the G.704 frame on the PBUS.
Frame timing is only available for nx64 kbit/s signals.
The byte timing signal B is synchronous to the octet boundaries of the
receive data signal.
Frame timing and byte timing are only available with the X-type DCE inter-
faces. They are exclusively used with the DTE transmit timing signal X.

Figure 34: Port timing signals

The timing signals can be configured with the following control and mainte-
nance mechanisms:
• Signal monitor and consequent action:
The transmit timing signal X/113 is supervised for a loss of signal.
A missing clock signal X/113 is detected when LEDS1 counts at least 4xn
(n ≤ 10, i.e. rate ≤ 640 kbit/s) octet slips in 2.5 seconds. This corresponds
to a clock offset of ± 200 ppm in relation to the network element timing.
With n > 10, the number of octet slips to be counted is fixed to 40.
As a consequent action a missing clock signal X/113 is replaced by the
LEDS1 internal timing signal S/114.
The consequent action on the transmit data signal can be enabled or dis-
abled.
If the consequent action is enabled
− the data signal T/103 is replaced by “1” or “0”,
− the control signals C/105 and 108 towards the network are set to “1”
(i.e. “OFF”).
• B or F timing:
With X-type interfaces with synchronous user data rates the B/F/X timing
signal can be disabled, used as an input (X/113) or used as an output (B/
F):
− None (B/F):
The B/F timing signal output is disabled or configured as an input to
the LEDS1 and used for the transmit signal synchronization.
− Byte Timing (B):
The B/F/X timing signal is configured as an output to the DTE and sig-
nals the last bit of each data byte sent to the DTE on the receive user
data signal.
− Frame Timing (F):
The B/F/X timing signal is configured as an output to the DTE and sig-
nals the beginning of each frame of data bytes sent to the DTE on the
receive user data signal.

Figure 35: Transmit timing

The timing signal used for the LEDS1 internal sampling of the transmit
user data signal T/103 can be configured to the following modes:
− Contradirectional fix:
The transmit user data signal (T/103) is sampled with the timing signal
S/114. The nominal delay from clocking out the receive data signal (R/
104) to the sampling of the transmit data signal (T/103) is half a bit
width.
In this mode the signal X/113 is not used and the corresponding con-
nector pins can be used as byte/frame timing (B/F) signal output.
− Contradirectional adaptive:
The transmit user data signal (T/103) is sampled with a phase
adjusted timing signal S/114. The sampling phase is adjusted to the
signal state changes of the transmit signal T/103. The transmit user
data signal can have any phase in relation to the transmit timing signal
(S/114).
In this mode the signal X/113 is not used.
This mode is used for relatively long lines and high user data rates
where the signal delay is of the same order of magnitude as the half
bit width or more.

Please note:
The byte or frame timing (B/F) signal output can not be used since the phase
relationship between the transmit data signal and the B/F timing signal can
not be determined by LEDS1.
− Codirectional:
The transmit user data signal (T/103) is sampled with the transmit tim-
ing signal received from the DTE (X/113). Note that the receive timing
signal (S/115) must be looped in the DTE so that the transmit timing
signal (X/113) is synchronous to the network element timing.
In this mode the signal X/113 is used and the corresponding connec-
tor pins are configured as inputs. The timing circuit B/F can’t be used,
i.e. the X.24 timing circuits must be configured to “None (B/F)”.
• Loop 2b:
The maintenance function “Loop 2b” loops the receive timing signal S/
115 back to the transmit direction where it replaces the transmit timing
signal from the DTE X/113. With an active loop 2b the B or F timing sig-
nal can be set to OFF. For details please refer to section Loop 2b
(page 97).

FOX61xLEDS1 77
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

5.6.3 Conference timing


All conference participants are synchronous to the network element timing
source, i.e. the PETS.
There are no participant specific timing signals used in a conference.

5.7 Protection

5.7.1 Subnetwork connection and linear trail protection


LEDS1 supports 1+1 linear trail protection and 1+1 inherently monitored sub-
network connection protection (SNCP/I). 1+1 protection is available for the
DCE interfaces and for the conference participants.
The difference between the two protection scenarios lies in the availability of
CAS.
• If CAS is available the CAS AIS failure can be detected, which represents
then the 1+1 linear trail protection. Linear trail protection protects against
server failures and disconnected matrix connections (via CAS AIS detec-
tion).
• If CAS is not available only the server layer defects can be detected,
which represents then the 1+1 SNCP/I protection. SNCP/I protects
against server failures.
1+1 protection provides the 1+1 unidirectional protection. The operation type
can be configured to revertive or non-revertive.

Please note:
Non-revertive operation is only available for n=1 (64 kbit/s).
The switching of the working and the protecting channel is done in sink
direction only. On the source side a fixed bridge is used.

5.7.1.1 Protection configuration

P0-nc protection switching takes place in the LEDS1 cross connect function.
Protection switching action can be driven by two different request types:
• Traffic signal requests:
− Signal fail (SF)
The SF state is activated if the analysis of the incoming server signal
on the transport unit reports a signal failure, e.g. loss of signal.
− CAS-AIS
The CAS signalling pattern abcd of the received signal exhibits an
AIS, i.e. abcd = 1111.
− Signal degraded (SD)
The SD state is activated if the analysis of the incoming server signal
on the transport unit reports a degraded signal, e.g. BER 10-6.
• External command requests
− Forced switch to working
− Forced switch to protecting
− Manual switch to working
− Manual switch to protecting
Note that a forced switch is executed even when there is a failure on the tar-
get signal. A manual switch is executed only if the target signal exhibits no
degradation or a less severe degradation than the active signal.
The external command requests are maintenance functions, i.e. they are not
stored in the units database.

FOX61xLEDS1 79
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

It is possible to check the status of the protection switch (working, protecting


circuit) via the CTP status function.
For more information on cross connections and protection switching please
refer to 1KHW002467 FOX61x TDM Services.

5.7.2 Equipment protection (EQP)

5.7.2.1 EQP features

To protect the LEDS1 functions against a failure on the LEDS1 unit, FOX61x
offers the possibility to equip the subrack with a second LEDS1 unit as a pro-
tecting unit.
EQP protects the conference function. The DCE interfaces can not be pro-
tected. If protection of the DCE interfaces is required, external equipment
performing the switching of the interface signals between the working and
the protecting unit must be used. Refer to section DTE cabling for 1+1 equip-
ment protection (page 83).
In case of a failure on the active (working or protecting) unit the user traffic is
rerouted from the failed LEDS1 unit to the standby LEDS1 (protecting or
working) unit.
The working and the protecting LEDS1 units can be plugged in any free slot
of the FOX61x subrack.

Please note:
The protection switching is non revertive, i.e. after the repair of a failed
LEDS1 unit, the currently active LEDS1 unit remains the active unit irrespec-
tive if it is the working or protecting unit.

Please note:
During a protection switching event the user traffic is interrupted for up to
6 s.

5.7.2.2 EQP prerequisites

To enable equipment protection for the LEDS1 unit some prerequisites must
be met:
• The protecting LEDS1 unit must be in the unassigned state. Otherwise
the unit will not be selectable in the EQP configuration in AP: /unit-x, Con-
figuration - EQP: Create Group…, EQP Group Creation, Protecting Unit.
• The protecting unit must be hardware compatible with the working unit.
Check the hardware compatibility status after the EQP group configura-
tion in the AP: /unit-x, Status - EQP: Units Status, HW Compatible.
• The protecting unit must be software compatible with the working unit.
Check the software compatibility status after the EQP group configuration
in the AP: /unit-x, Status - EQP: Units Status, SW Compatible.
The compatible software must be installed on the LEDS1 unit before the
EQP group creation.
• The unit configuration of an equipment protection group is always done
on the active unit. The configuration on the standby unit is not possible.

80 FOX61xLEDS1
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Risk of operating trouble!


The configuration of an equipment protection group must be saved (AP: /
Configuration - Configuration Management: Save).
Otherwise, in case of a protection switch event, the NE will load an outdated
configuration from the internal configuration database and the NE configura-
tion will be corrupted.

5.7.2.3 EQP configuration

The working LEDS1 unit of an EQP group is assigned and configured the
same way as a stand alone LEDS1 unit.
The protecting LEDS1 unit is running with the same ESW as the working unit
and must be in the unassigned state.
The 1+1 equipment protection group is configured on the working unit:
• AP: /unit-x, Configuration - EQP.
− Execute the command “Create Group…”.
− Select the Protecting unit, e.g. /unit-18.
− Execute “OK”.
• Save the NE configuration.
Further on any changes on the LEDS1 configuration must be done on the
active unit. To find out which unit is the active unit check the AP tree or the
unit status of the working or protecting LEDS1 unit.

5.7.2.4 EQP status

The unit status of the working and protecting units shows the actual status of
the units belonging to the equipment protection group. The unit status offers
also the commands for the EQP manipulation:
• Manual switch
The currently standby unit is set as active unit and the currently active
unit is set as standby unit. This requires that the currently standby unit is
in operational state, i.e.
− has no failure,
− is not isolated.
A manual switch is possible if it is indicated with the “Manual Switch-Over
Allowed” parameter.
Note that this command can only be activated on the working unit status
window.
• Forced switch
The currently standby unit is set as active unit, independent of the failure
state of the currently standby unit.
Note that there is a risk that the user traffic will be permanently inter-
rupted if the currently standby unit is in a failure state.
The currently active unit is set as standby unit.
Note that this command can only be activated on the working unit status
window.
• Isolate unit
To be able to perform a maintenance action, e.g. update of the embed-
ded software, on an active unit without activating a protection switch-
over, the working unit can be isolated. This means that the protection

FOX61xLEDS1 81
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

switching state machine is frozen and no protection switch will be done


until the isolation of the unit is removed.
Note that the isolate unit command can only be applied to the working
unit.
• Join unit
Remove the isolation of a previously isolated unit.
Note that the join unit command can only be applied to the working unit.
The table in the EQP status window displays the following items:
• Unit
MO address of the unit belonging to the EQP group.
• EQP unit mode
The working unit is the unit where the protection group has been config-
ured.
The protecting unit is the unit that has been set to the unassigned state
before configuring the protection group.
• Active
Active true means the unit is the active unit, i.e. it is the operational unit.
Active false means the unit is the standby unit, i.e. it is not the operational
unit.
The active state can be changed with the “Manual Switch” and “Forced
Switch” commands.
• Failure
Failure true means the unit is in a failure state.
Failure false means the unit is not in a failure state.
The failure state can not be changed manually.
• Substituted
Substituted true on the working unit means the unit has been substituted
by the protecting unit. A substituted unit is also in the “active false” state.
Substituted false on the working unit means the unit has not been substi-
tuted, i.e. it is the active unit or it has been isolated.
The substituted state of the protecting unit is always false.
• Isolated
Isolated true means the unit has been isolated with the “Isolate Unit”
command.
Isolated false means the unit is not isolated.
The isolation state can be changed with the “Isolate Unit” and “Join Unit”
commands.
The isolated state of the protecting unit is always false.
• HW Compatible
HW compatible true means the working HW unit is compatible with the
protecting HW unit.
HW compatible false means the working HW unit is not compatible with
the protecting HW unit. Equipment protection is not possible.
• SW Compatible
SW compatible true means the working unit embedded software (ESW) is
compatible with the protecting unit ESW.
SW compatible false means the working unit ESW is not compatible with
the protecting unit ESW. Equipment protection is not possible.
• DB Saved
DB saved true means the current configuration of the working unit has
been saved to the FOX61x internal database.

82 FOX61xLEDS1
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

DB saved false means the current configuration of the working unit has
not been saved to the FOX61x internal database. A protection switching
event will load an outdated configuration and traffic will be disturbed.

5.7.2.5 DTE cabling for 1+1 equipment protection

Due to the fact that LEDS1 has front interfaces that are doubled when using
the 1+1 equipment protection function, the DTE cabling must be set up
accordingly.
1+1 equipment protection with LEDS1 works only with V.24/V.28, V.35 or
X.24/V.11 type DTEs providing two separate interfaces. One of the inter-
faces is the working interface while the other is in standby mode.

Figure 37: 1+1 equipment protection

Risk of operating trouble!


When connecting a V.24/V.28, V.35 or X.24/V.11 type DTE to a working and
protecting LEDS1 port in parallel the electrical interface parameters will be
violated.
1+1 equipment protection with a RS485 type DTE is possible as long as the
electrical interface parameters are not violated.
When using the Ethernet port of LEDS1 with 1+1 protection switching, the
Ethernet cabling must be connected with an external switch box or a hub.
Great care should be taken when using additional switch boxes, as these
devices must be considered as single points of failure in the sensitive path of
the 1+1 equipment protection scheme.

Profiles are created offline with the CPS & Profile tool contained in the
FOXCST GUI (Menu: Tools / CPS & Profile …) and then downloaded to the
network element in order to make the profiles applicable.
For more information concerning profile handling please refer to
1KHW002466 FOXCST Operation.

Please note:
The creation of profiles is based upon templates that are provided with the
ESW versions.
→ The templates are available only after importing the respective service
unit’s ESW in FOXCST

Please note:
Make sure that you only use profiles from templates that have been installed
with the ESW running on the respective unit. If you use profiles from other
ESW versions, you may get an error message when trying to apply the pro-
file to the unit’s configuration.

Figure 39: Loops 2b, 3b and 3c

• Loop 2b (remote loop)


The loop 2b redirects the received data from the network back to the net-
work. The network connection between the local DCE and the remote
DCE can be tested.
• Loop 3b (local loop)
The loop 3b sends the user data transmitted by the DTE back to the DTE.
The connection between DTE and local DCE can be tested.
• Loop 3c (local loop)
The loop 3c sends the user data transmitted by the DTE back to the DTE
without processing of the data signal. The connection between DTE and
local DCE can be tested.
The loop signal conditions are according to ITU-T X.150. With V-type inter-
faces the loops are according to ITU-T X.20bis, X.21bis and V.54. With X-
type interfaces the loops are according to ITU-T X.20 and X.21.
Only one loop 2b or 3b or 3c can be active at the same time per port.
All loops can be activated by the element manager FOXCST. The loop 3c
can also be activated from the DTE via the control signal 141. Loops can
only be activated by the FOXCST or the DTE. This is done to prevent two
users performing maintenance functions at the same time.

The data, control and timing signals towards DTE A and DTE B are the
same as with the loop 3b.

Please note:
With higher user data rates and long cables, the timing condition of the data
sampling in the DTE can not be fulfilled anymore since the looped data sig-
nal is not resampled in LEDS1.
→ Use loop 3b instead.

7.3 DCE interface line state maintenance

The port and participant line state maintenance functions allow to take a
DCE interface or a conference participant out of service or to insert a test
signal towards the front port or towards the conference.
The line state maintenance function provides the following parameters:
• In service:
This parameter restores the normal operating state of the front port or of
the conference participant.
• Out of service:
Take a front port or a conference participant out of service, i.e. replace
the data signal by an all-1 signal in receive and transmit direction, set all
control signals towards the DTE to OFF and replace the signalling
towards the network by an AIS (abcd = 1111) and activate the TSD and
TSF signals. TSF and TSD are the FOX61x internal failure signals used
to control the protection switching.
The timing signals remain active.
− Port maintenance:
This parameter can be used to simulate a failed path towards the front
port.
− Participant maintenance:
This parameter can be used to test the protection switching in a point-
to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint application due to a failed
LEDS1 unit.

Please note:
The line states of both the “to master” and the “to slave” participants must be
set to “out of service” to check the correct protection switching.
• Test pattern insertion:
Replace the receive data signal at the front port or a conference partici-
pants data signal by a test signal 0101, set all control signals towards the
DTE or a conference participant to OFF.
The timing signals remain active.
− Port maintenance:
This parameter provides an easy way to check the connection from
the LEDS1 unit to a connected DTE.

FOX61xLEDS1 99
OPERATION

To insert a test signal towards the TDM network, a loop 2b or an


external hardware loop must be applied at the corresponding inter-
face.
− Participant maintenance:
This parameter provides an easy way to check the connection from
the LEDS1 unit to any other conference participant.
In a point-to-multipoint application a test pattern inserted at the “to
master” participant is sent to all “local” and the “to slave” participants.
A test pattern inserted at a “local” or “to slave” participant is sent to the
“to master” participant.
In a multipoint-to-multipoint application a test pattern inserted at any
participant is sent to all other participants.
When applying a maintenance function the following signals are sent
towards the front port or the conference and towards the PBUS:

sections Port data handling (page 60), Conference data handling (page 62),
Port control signal handling (page 67) and Conference control signal han-
dling (page 70).

Please note:
Active maintenance functions generate the MFA alarm (maintenance func-
tion active).

Please note:
Only one maintenance functions can be active at the same time on a port or
conference participant.

OPERATION

7.4 DTE send and idle time restrictions

A supervision circuit of the DTEs send and idle times helps to improve the
network’s availability by preventing the network from remaining blocked as a
result of a defective DTE. This function is mainly used in the point-to-multi-
point and multipoint-to-multipoint applications.
The activity check of a DTE is done by checking the logic content of the
transmit data signal T/103: A “0” means an active state, a “1” means an inac-
tive state.
The send time supervision checks the number of consecutive seconds with
observed activity of the DTE, i.e. each second containing a data bit with a
logic “0” counts as a “send time second”. If the number of “send time sec-
onds” exceeds the configured limit an alarm is activated.
The send time limit can be configured from 1 s to 255 s.
The idle time supervision checks the number of consecutive seconds with no
observed activity of the DTE, i.e. each second containing only data bits with
a logic “1” counts as an “idle time second”. If during the observation period
the number of “idle time seconds” is below the configured limit an alarm is
activated.
The idle time limit can be configured from 1 s to 255 s. The observation
period for the idle time can be configured from 2 s to 65’535 s. The idle time
limit is required to be smaller than the observation period.

Error Handling (page 138)). All DTEs connected to this port will be detached
in this case. The DTEs remain detached until the interface is taken into ser-
vice again 30 s after the defect clearing or with the corresponding port status
command, refer to section AP: / unit-x / port-y, Status - Maintenance
