3.6 Configuring Clock and Time

Synchronization falls into two categories: clock (frequency) synchronization and time
synchronization. PTN adopts two typical technologies: synchronous Ethernet technology
based on physical layer and IEEE 1588 synchronization technology based on packet.
 Synchronous Ethernet technology: Only supports the transport of frequency

signals, and does not support the transport of time signals.
 IEEE 1588 synchronization technology: Supports the transport of both frequency

signals and time signals. For the time synchronization, the precision can reach the
sub-micro second level, and the protocol is well standardized and supports the
interconnection of various devices from different manufacturers.
When performing the operation of time synchronization on ZXCTN 6000 series devices, you must
configure clock synchronization first. Then configure time synchronization, with the purpose of
performing automatic protection switching for time links and clock links, thus ensuring reliable
transport of synchronization. The clock synchronization supports the standard SSM
algorithm and the extended SSM algorithm. The time synchronization supports the BMC
algorithm, manually designated algorithm, and the SSM algorithm.

3.6.1 Configuring Clock Source
Purpose
To configure the NE Clock source and designate its priority in the NetNumen U31 EMS,
thus ensuring that all NEs in a network can establish a proper clock tracing relationship.
Setup
 The network is running normally and has no line-side alarms.
 When the external clock is used as a clock source, the external clock input has
been connected to the device.
Information
 Clock source configuration: use this procedure to configure the NE Clock source
and designate its priority through the EMS, thus ensuring that all NEs in a network
can establish a proper clock tracking relationship.
(1) When the clock works in tracking mode, its performance depends on the
performances of the synchronous transmission link and the timing extraction circuit.
(2) When the clock works in protection or free-running mode, its performance
depends on the performance of the clock sources that generate various clocks.
Clock sources are located in various NE nodes. Therefore, a high-level clock
should use a clock source with high performance.
 For the description of the parameters of clock source configuration, refer to Table
3 -7.

4.2 Checking EMS Monitoring

Setup
To ensure that the EMS can successfully monitor the NE, prepare the IP address
planning sheet and VLAN planning sheet before configuring and commissioning the
interfaces.
The monitoring addresses of the ZXCTN 6300/6200/6100/6110 devices are the IP

addresses corresponding to loopback2. Enable the OSPF protocol on the device. For
the detailed commands, refer to related commissioning guides.

Step
To ensure the connectivity of device monitoring, run the ping command to check the
interconnection after the configuration is completed.

Check whether there is any traffic in the input and output directions. If there is no
traffic in the input direction, it indicates that there is something wrong with receiving.
Check the receive link. If the optical fiber is used, check the optical power.
If there are many CRC errors, check whether the network cables or optical powers
meet the requirement.
If necessary, run the clear counter gei_4/1 command to clear the statistical data
so as to recalculate the amount of packets received or transmitted via the
interfaces.
3. Check whether the ARP table of the Ethernet network is normal.

192.2.1.10 2 0025.1210.3b41 vlan4091 4091 N/A xgei_4/1
Because the ARP tables of the current ZXCTN devices (except CE version) are all of
static configuration, you need to check whether the peer-end MAC address is accurate
and whether the static ARP is not configured correctly.
4.3 Testing Service Performance

After the monitoring becomes stable, test the service performance. During the
configuration of a service, make sure the static ARP and static MAC of the service are
configured correctly.
After the tunnel is configured, it’s better to check the connectivity of the tunnel by the
OAM CC packet. If alarm occurs, retest the configurations of ARP and static MAC.
Once making sure that the tunnel is available, create the PW and service, and then test
the service.
Service test falls into two categories: E1 service test and Ethernet service test.

4.3.1 24-Hour E1 Service Bit Error Test
Information
24-hour performance monitoring connection is shown in Figure 4 -41. For electrical

tributary service, an error bit tester with corresponding rate level can be used for test.
Figure 4-41 24-Hour Performance Monitoring Connection
Step
1. Test method
Construct the network according to the Figure above. The service E1 electrical
interface of NE3 self loops.
Create a CES service from NE1 to NE3.
Detect the 24-hour bit error of E1 service via the instrument: The tester selects
proper PRBS and sends the test signal form the tested system input interface. In
the case of serial tributary connection, you should unplug and plug the serial cable
before the test and check whether the instrument responds accordingly, so as to
avoid false connectivity.
2. Acceptance criterion
The tester should show no bit error in 24 hours.
If bit error occurs, check whether the devices on the whole network are
synchronized, and whether the receive clock and transmit clock of E1 are correctly
set.
4.3.2 Ethernet Throughput Test
Information
Test the throughput of Ethernet services. The networking architecture is shown in Figure
4 -42.

Figure 4-42 Ethernet Throughput Test Connection
Step
1. Test method
Construct the test configuration according to the Figure above or similar networking
architecture.
Configure an EPL service from NE4 to NE1 (with the bandwidth of GE or 10GE).
Connect a data analyzer to NE4 and use a self-loop connector or tail fiber at the
peer end for loopback. Set the analyzer for throughput test and use 7 typical
Ethernet packet sizes: 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 1280, and 1518 bytes (if
necessary, enable the function of supporting Jumbo frame on a port). Test the
throughput and record the result.
2. Acceptance criteria: The result meets what RFC2544 requires.
4.3.3 Ethernet Service Delay Test
Step
1. Test method
The network topology is the same to that in the throughput test. Use 7 typical
Ethernet packet sizes, that is, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 1280 and 1518 bytes for
Ethernet service delay test (if necessary, enable the function of supporting Jumbo
frame on a port). Test the throughput and record the result.
Make sure to set the traffic for test to 90% of the throughput.

4.3.4 Ethernet Long-Term Packet Loss Ratio Test
Step
1. Test method
The network topology is the same to that in the throughput test and set the traffic
for test to 90% of the throughput. Perform the test for 12 hours to check the service
packet loss ratio
4.4 Network-Level Protection Switching Test

Information
Network-level protection switching indicates that the system switching devices

automatically switch the working signals to a standby channel for transmission when the
transmission through the working channel breaks or the performance worsens to a
certain extent. In this way, the receive end can finally receive signals normally without
having the knowledge of network failure.
Make sure that tunnels or protection groups at risk are already created successfully
before the protection switching test. Check the ZXCTN protection group information on
the related NEs to make sure that the protection groups are built.
Step
1. Test method
During the protection switching test, you can unplug the fiber or shutdown a NNI
interface laser by EMS, so that the disconnection of a tunnel or PW will be
detected, thus triggering the switching.
When the system switches a working channel to a protection channel automatically,

the switching time should be less than 50ms. For Ethernet services, count of lost
packets in SMARTBITS WINDOW divided by rate is the switching time. If
necessary, check whether the service performance after switching meets the
requirements mentioned above.

4.5 NE-Level Protection Switching Test

Information
NE-level protection switching indicates that the system automatically switches services
to a slave board when the power board or master board is at fault, so that the service
receive end has no knowledge of network failure.
Step
1. Test method
To test the protection switching of the master board on 6100 series devices, you
can distribute the reset command via the EMS or the platform or unplug the master
clock board to trigger the switching. To test the protection switching of the power
board, you can unplug the board to trigger the switching.
The tested switching time should be less than 50 ms when the system
automatically switches the master board to the slave board. After the switching, the
service performance should meet the requirements mentioned above.

AppA Safety Precaution
A.1 Safety Operation Specification

Anti-static electricity warning:
 Wear the anti-static wrist strap when performing operations on the device (such as
store, install, and unpack) or plugging the board.
 Take care not to touch any component on the board, the laid wire or connector
pinout when plugging the board.
 Keep the accessories into the anti-static bags when they are not used.
 Keep the accessories away from the material such as food wrap paper, plastic and
polystyrene foam which are likely to generate static electricity.
A.2 Device Safety

This section introduces the safety precautions for devices.
1. Grounding requirements
Grounding requirements for the internal parts of a device:
 The board is connected to the shell of the device via a panel, and there is no
electrical connection inside the board.
 The cabinet and sub-rack must be connected to the protection ground.
 The cabinet must be connected to the grounding copper bar of the equipment
room via protection ground cables, thus keeping good electrical performances.
The sub-rack is firmly connected to the rear columns in the cabinet, thus
realizing grounding.
2. Safety requirements for other devices
 Do not block the vents when the system is running.
 Use tools to fasten the screws when installing a panel.
 Do not influence other online service devices during the process of system
integration.
