Description

G.703 IF

Depending on the LOMIF or LOMI4 unit, this block is repeated once for each
of the
 8 interfaces of the LOMIF
 4 interfaces of the LOMI4
and provides the following:
 galvanic isolation
 protection against over-voltage
 signal receiver and transmitter

The 120  or 75  line termination is determined by the wiring of the cable


to the LOMIF/LOMI4 connector set. No hardware setting of jumpers on the
unit or setting of parameters via the UCST/FOXMAN-UN are required.

DXC

Depending on the LOMIF and LOMI4 unit this block is implemented with
 2 ASICs for the LOMIF:
It provides access to the PBUS Interface and DXC (1/0) functionality for
the 8 x 2 Mbit/s signals.
 1 ASIC for the LOMI4:
It provides access to the PBUS Interface and DXC (1/0) functionality for
the 4 x 2 Mbit/s signals.
For 2 Mbit/s signals in Terminated mode, the DXC is on a 64 kbit/s TS level
for TSs 1-31.
For 2 Mbit/s signals in Transparent and Monitored mode the DXC is on a 2
Mbit/s level where all 32 TSs including TS0 are grouped together.
Each ASIC interfaces to any one of the 32 PBUS highways available on the
subrack backplane via the PBUS Interface block. Each PBUS highway car-
ries up to four 2 Mbit/s signals.
An internal PLL is available and takes its reference clock from one of the 2
PBUS timing highways accessed. If both PBUS’s timing highways fail, the
timing signal is taken from the CPU. The 2 Mbit/s outputs that are synchro-
nised to the CPU are disabled (i.e. no signal at output).
The PBUS Interface block provides the connection for data and timing be-
tween the DXC and the PBUS highways on the subrack backplane.

Peripheral unit communication

This block is used to access system timing signals, hardware control lines for
reset and unit detection and the ICN that allows the COBU<X>/COBUQ to
communicate with the LOMI<X>.

1KHW002024 page 12 of 69 ABB


User Guide LOMIF 152&LOMI4 151 (R8) Architectural description

CPU

The CPU block commands and controls all other functional blocks, and al-
lows communication with the COBU<X>/COBUQ via the ICN. A flash
EPROM for the unit’s ESW, an EEPROM for the inventory data, and a RAM
for the unit's configuration file are available.

Power

This block provides the 3.3 VDC needed by the DXC block. It comprises cir-
cuitry for monitoring the 5 VDC input, and circuitry for converting the 5 VDC
into the 3.3 VDC.

3 Functional description

2 Mbit/s G.703 interfaces

All the 8 SbUs of the LOMIF and 4 SbUs of the LOMI4 support the following
functions independently:
 Termination of G.704 framed signals with or without CAS and/or CRC-4
 Transparent handling of G.703 unframed or G.704 framed signals
 CRC-4 operation enabled/disabled for framed signals
 Use of the TS0 Spare bits (called Sa-modes) for various applications
listed below for framed signals in terminated or monitored mode:
 SSI (Synchronisation Status Indication) in Sa5 bit as currently used by
the UBUS units (MEGIF) in order to ensure proper network synchroni-
sation
 ECC (Embedded Communication Channel) with TTI (Trail Trace Iden-
tifier) and SSM (Synchronisation Status Messages) uses all 5 bits.
 SSM (Synchronisation Status Message) in any Sa bit according to
ITU-T G.704
 V5.x application in order to allow the link identification procedure of
V5.2 to take place (Sa7 bit = logical “0“ from 2 of 3 consecutive G.704
frames). The Sa bits are all fixed to logical “1“ for V5.1
 Fixed to an operator defined pattern
 PRA application that allows you to implement the functional blocks of
the NT1 and the LT in the FOX network:
 NT1-T (PRA)
 NT1-U (PRA)
 LT-V3
 LT-U
For details of the PRA application and implementation (the handling of
the Sa-bits and the A-bit), refer to the chapter “E12 and E12/P12 Traf-
fic Signal Layer” in FOX Network Functions.
 NT1 Leased Line application that allows you to implement the NT1
Leased Lines functional blocks in the FOX network:
 NT1-T (LL)
 NT1-U (LL)
For details of the NT1 Leased Line application and implementation
(the handling of the Sa-bits and the A-bit), refer to the chapter “E12
and E12/P12 Traffic Signal Layer” in FOX Network Functions.
 Routing table for SSI or SSM data provided with terminated traffic signals.
 Control of the TTI (for the ECC Sa-mode only)
 Status/Maintenance functions to
 Read status information related to the subunit (TTI, Sa-bits, loop
status etc.)
 Apply loops in the signal path (front end and back end)

ABB page 15 of 69 1KHW002024


Functional description User Guide LOMIF 152&LOMI4 151 (R8)

 Performance Monitoring
 according to G.826
 count of frame slips
 Maintenance/Status function for the CRC-4 MFA (Multi-Frame Alignment)
 AIS Insertion in the 2 Mbit/s signal leaving the LOMI<X> IF B if the 2
Mbit/s input signal on port A fails (port A and B are cross connected via
P0_nc).
 Bidirectional protection switching by using the remote defect indication as
switching criterion. This feature is mainly used uniform routing in case of
a unidirectional failure is required, e.g. in case of SPR (shared protection
ring) application.
For a detailed description of the E12/P12 traffic signal layer and correspond-
ing features and implementations, refer to the chapter “E12 and E12/P12
Traffic Signal Layer” in FOX Network Functions.

Depending on the cable used, the wires are connected to the pins for 120
Ohm or a 75 Ohm signal termination:
 Signals a, b: 120 Ohm signal termination
 Signals a, s: 75 Ohm signal termination
Please note that
 LOMIF and LOMI4 use the same cables
 LOMIF connects the cables for the SbU1 … SbU8.
 LOMI4 connects the cables for the SbU1 … SbU4.
 the cables provided by ABB Switzerland are internally con-
nected for 75 Ohm (pins a, s) or 120 Ohm (pins a, b).
 the output signal b is available on two pins (row a and c). Avoid
unintentional connections to the pins with the redundant output
signal b.
 for the cables specified below the
 leads corresponding to inputs are referred as Rx
 leads corresponding to outputs are referred as Tx

Do not enable G.703 subunits which are not connected at the re-
mote end of the cable. Cross talk onto such an open-ended cable
can cause spurious alarms.
By default, all the subunits are disabled.

The 75 Ohm cable to the interface of each SbU is an open ended


twisted pair.
Please note that
 The cable MUST be properly connected to an external cus-
tomer provided (twisted pair <--> coaxial cable) adapter box or
a corresponding connector field.
For the Tx and Rx signals of each SbU:

 line “a” of the cable connects to the centre lead of the coax-
ial connector,
 line “s” of the cable connects to the shield of the coaxial ca-
ble.
 Due to the mismatching impedances of the termination and ca-
ble you must keep the connection cable as short as possible (a
few metres). This requires that the 75  patch panel installed
close to the FOX (e.g. in the same rack).
 If the symmetrical connection cables are longer than a few me-
ters, it is not possible to guarantee a LOMI<X> interface per-
formance according to ITU-T G.703.
Latching clips MUST be used to secure the cable to the front panel connec-
tor.

Cable modules

The connection of coaxial cables requires an external 75  patch panel


which provides the required coaxial terminals.
ABB Switzerland provides a modular patch panel. Cable Modules with con-
nectors for the 75  signals of the 4/8 interfaces of the LOMI<X> subunits
carry the signals to the ABB Switzerland patch panel and provide the coaxial
connectors for the traffic signals.
The ABB Switzerland patch panel is preferably installed in the same rack as
the FOX with the LOMI<X> units (refer to the notes above).

1KHW002024 page 22 of 69 ABB

 P12-mode
 Sa-mode
For details of the interdependencies, refer to the chapter “E12 and E12/P12
Traffic Signal Layer” in FOX Network Functions.

Entering SbU name

Enter (up to 16 characters) the name of the SbU. For tracing the signal to its
physical connecting point, the SbU name should be the same as its label on
the Main Distribution Frame.

Enabling SbU state

The state of the SbU can be enabled or disabled.


To avoid SbUs with no signals connected to them from alarming (Loss of
Signal), they should be disabled.

Setting P12-mode

The selected SbU can be configured for the following types of 2 Mbit/s sig-
nals for the required application:
 Transparent
Used for transparent 2 Mbit/s DXC of unframed as well as framed 2
Mbit/s signals.
DXC is only possible on a 2 Mbit/s level. No DXC is possible on a TS
level.
 Monitored
Used for transparent DXC of framed 2 Mbit/s signals.
TS0 of the 2 Mbit/s frame and TS16 of the first frame of the G.704
multi-frame are monitored only and remain transparent.
DXC is only possible on a 2 Mbit/s level. No DXC is possible on a TS
level.
 Terminated
Used for accessing TSs on 2 Mbit/s signals.
TS0 is terminated and monitored, and no longer transparent. TS0
spare bits are free to be used as specified below under "setting Sa-
mode", and "setting Sa bits".
TS 1-31 can be accessed for DXC or drop and insert applications.
 Clock Master
Used for the provisioning of the NE timing as a timing reference via a
2 Mbit/s signal.
The mode is fully transparent for structured and unstructured traffic
signals and preserves all signal data. However the traffic signal leav-
ing the NE is re-timed to the clock of the NE.
Independently of the structure of the traffic signal, the Clock Master
signal must be cross connected in the FOX515 as a 2 Mbit/s traffic
signal.

For information on the application and implementation of the Clock


Master mode, refer to the chapter “E12 and E12/P12 Traffic Signal
Layer” in FOX Network Functions.

Setting CAS operation

The 2 Mbit/s signal can be configured for a multi-frame structure and TS16
used for the CAS signalling of the 30 PCM channels carried by the 2 Mbit/s
signal.
Both the local and the remote end must be configured the same.

Setting CRC4 operation

The 2 Mbit/s signal can be configured for a multi-frame structure containing


CRC4 framing.
Both the local and the remote end must be configured the same.

Setting Sa-mode

For 2 Mbit/s signals configured for Terminated Mode, TS0 can be specified
to be used in one of the following ways:
 SSI
Used for Interworking with UBUS units (i.e. MEGIF) .
TS0 bit 5 is used to indicate if the incoming 2 Mbit/s signal can be con-
sidered as a valid system synchronisation source.
The other 4 spare bits are available to be set by the user via the <Sa
bits> dialogue described below under "Setting Sa bits".
 ECC
Used for carrying ECC, TTI and SSM.
TS0 bits 5-8 are used as a 16 kbit/s in band channel for managing the
FOX network.
TS0 bit 4 is used for TTI and SSM described below.
 SSM G.704
Used for carrying SSM.
Select one of the 5 TS0 spare bits to be used for the SSM signalling. The
signal quality information (QL 1-15) is used in determining timing switch-
over for the FOX network.
You can set the other 4 spare bits via the <Sa bits> dialogue described
below under "Setting Sa bits".
The QL value of a 2 Mbit/s signal is NOT an indication of the signal qual-
ity but only a way to prioritise the signal for use as a synchronisation
source to 15 priority levels.
There are 2 ways that you can set the QL for an outgoing 2 Mbit/s traffic
signal and one automatic mechanism that sets the QL:
 via the Timing Sources dialogue described in FOX User Guide. Set-
tings can be QL = 1-15. This option is used for 2 Mbit/s traffic signals

1KHW002024 page 28 of 69 ABB


User Guide LOMIF 152&LOMI4 151 (R8) Configuration

leaving the master FOX where the clock for the FOX network origi-
nates from.
 via the Routing Table dialogue described below. Setting can be "Can
be used" and "Do not use" (i.e. QL = 15).
 automatically by the FOX whenever it switches over to its internal
clock source. Settings can be defined as QL = 12-14.
For details on QL refer to FOX User Guide.
 V5.x appl
Used for the termination of V5.x links and particularly the link for the iden-
tification procedure of V5.2.
All 5 bits in TS0 are used by the V5 application.
 Fixed
You can set all 5 bits in the TS0, as described below.
 PRA related Sa-modes:
 NT1-T (PRA), NT1-U (PRA) (terminated P12-mode only)
 LT-V3, LT-U (monitored P12-mode only)
The PRA application affects all 5 Sa bits in the TS0.
 NT1 Leased Lines related Sa-modes:
 NT1-T (LL), NT1-U (LL) (terminated P12-mode only)
The NT1 Leased Lines application affects all 5 Sa bits in the TS0.
For information on the application and implementation of the PRA and NT1
Leased Line function, refer to the chapter “E12 and E12/P12 Traffic Signal
Layer” in FOX Network Functions.
Both the local and the remote SbU must be configured the same.

Configuration User Guide LOMIF 152&LOMI4 151 (R8)

Setting Sa bits

Some of the LOMI<X> operation modes (ITU-T G.704 structured signals


only) allow you to configure Sa-bits in the TS0.
Press [ ... ] under “Sa bits” for the appropriate SbU on the Unit Configura-
tion Parameters dialogue

Figure 9: Sa bits dialogue

You can set the unused (free) Sa bits in TS0 depending on the mode of op-
eration (monitored or terminated).
You can set the 3 free bits of TS16 for Terminated 2 Mbit/s signals with CAS
as required.
The NT1-U (PRA, LL) and the NT1-T (LL) modes (but not the NT1-T (PRA)
mode) allow the selection of the Spare bits dialogue. The dialogue provides
functions as follows:
 NT1-U (PRA) and NT1-U (LL) mode
For SbUs operated in the NT1-U mode you can define the Sa4, Sa7 and
Sa8 bit (direction NT2  ET).
 NT1-T (LL) mode
For SbUs operated in the NT1-T (LL) mode you can define whether the
NT1-T (LL) inserts AIS when the NT1-U receives Sa6 = 1100:

Figure 10: Leased Line Protocol dialogue

1KHW002024 page 30 of 69 ABB


User Guide LOMIF 152&LOMI4 151 (R8) Configuration

Additionally, the dialogue allows you to


 enable
 disable
the LL loop control via the Sa6-bit. When disabled it the NT1-T (LL) ignores
the commands for the LL loop in the Sa6-bit.

Setting routing table

Press [ ... ] under “Routing table” for the appropriate SbU in the Unit Con-
figuration Parameters dialogue.

Figure 11: Output synchronisation dialogue

Only the SSI, SSM and ECC Sa-modes provide routing tables.
The other Sa-modes do not provide routing tables.

For a FOX network to be able to operate error free, it must operate with a
pre-defined synchronisation plan that ensures that all the FOXs in the net-
work operate with the same clock (synchronously). This clock can be trans-
mitted to other FOXs in the network using 2 Mbit/s signals.
To prevent the entire network from losing synchronisation if one link in the
network fails, each FOX can be programmed with up to 7 back-up timing
sources that are switched to automatically in a pre-programmed order of pri-
ority.
To prevent timing conflicts such as timing loops and timing islands (isolated
FOXs) in the FOX network when one of the FOXs switches to a back-up tim-
ing source, each 2 Mbit/s output signal containing the timing to be transmit-
ted onwards can be tagged as “Do not use” depending on its own timing
source.
2 Mbit/s signals tagged “Do not use” as a timing source force the receiving
FOX using this signal as a timing source to switch over to another timing
source to prevent possible timing conflicts.
Example:
The above dialogue shows that the 2 Mbit/s output signal of the LOMIF
SbU2 is tagged as “Do not use” whenever the NE (with this LOMIF) is
synchronised to the timing source “ESI-2” or "LOMIF <1> 2 Mbit/s - 7".

ABB page 31 of 69 1KHW002024


Configuration User Guide LOMIF 152&LOMI4 151 (R8)

The output signal is tagged "Can be used" for all the other timing
sources.
For more details, refer to the chapter “E12 and E12/P12 Traffic Signal Layer”
in FOX Network Functions.
This forces neighbouring NEs receiving this signal (if it is using this signal as
its timing source) to switch to a different timing source provided its Sa-mode
of operation is appropriately configured for proper interworking.

Setting transmitted and expected TTI

For SbUs configured for Sa-mode "ECC", TS0 bit 4 is used to carry a 15
character long trail trace identifier (TTI). At the far end, the received 2 Mbit/s
signal is monitored and the transmitted TTI is compared to an expected TTI
value for that signal.
If the transmitted TTI and the expected TTI are not the same, the non urgent
"Trace identifier mismatch" alarm is raised indicating that there is an uninten-
tional cross over of the 2 Mbit/s somewhere in the network.
Please note that:
 According to specification and standards the definition of the
TTI requires the specification of 15 characters for a valuable
TTI.
 You can fill up with "_" or " " (space) as filler characters. How-
ever it is not recommended that you use spaces due to poten-
tially faulty comparisons between received and expected TTI.

Setting AIS insertion

The AIS Insertion function is only available for SbUs that are configured for
the Terminated P12 mode.
If AIS insertion is enabled you can define which time slot in the P12 signal of
the SbU is monitored for the TSF (Traffic Signal Fail) flag. This flag is avail-
able for any timeslot of the P0_nc entity which is connected via the PBUS to
the source SbU (e.g. some other LOMI<X>).
The UCST allows you to define any TS (0 … 31) for the monitoring of the
TSF flag.
Please note that you can use the
 TS0 for TSF monitoring only if you connect 2 SbUs using the
Sa-mode ECC (allows the cross connection of the TS0). For all
the other Sa-modes TS0 is not available on the PBUS.
 TS16 for TSF monitoring only if you connect 2 SbUs which do
not use CAS (allows the cross connection of the TS 16). If CAS
is enabled, TS16 is not available for TSF monitoring.
For details of the AIS Insertion function, refer to the chapter “E12 and
E12/P12 Traffic Signal Layer” in FOX Network Functions.

User Guide LOMIF 152&LOMI4 151 (R8) Configuration

Setting bidirectional switching

The Bidirectional Switching function is only available for SbUs that are
configured for the Terminated P12 mode.
Bidirectional switching in a 1+1 protection switching configuration means that
a unidirectional failure results in a protection switching action at both ends of
the failed path. Protection switching must therefore be activated in the net-
work element either by locally detected signal failures or by a received re-
mote defect indication.
All locally detected signal failures activating a protection switching action
must also generate a remote defect indication to the far end. Failures not ac-
tivating a protection switching action must not generate a remote defect indi-
cation.
This strict behaviour of the failure handling procedures of LOMI<X> is
achieved by enabling the “bidirectional switching”.
Please note that the switching criteria with “bidirectional switching”
are different from the normal SNC protection switching criteria.
Please refer to section “Protection switching with the LOMI<X>” for
further information.

Setting alarm parameters

Procedures for setting the alarm parameters (blocking, severity, persistence,


etc.) are described in FOX User Guide.

 "Status not available"
The UCST displays this message if the upload of status information
from the NE has not yet happened (missing [GET]) or the UCST has
no connection to the NE.
 "OK"
The UCST displays "OK" if the subunit operates with CRC-4 MFA.
 "NCI" (No CRC-4 Interworking)
The UCST displays "NCI" if the subunit has no CRC-4 MFA. This cre-
ates the alarm "Non CRC-4 interworking".
This information does not necessarily mean that the subunit has a
failure. Depending on the configuration of the interface the NCI state
is normal (e.g. for monitored traffic signals).

 The CRC-4 MFA state of the subunits in the monitored mode is
always NCI.

Received TTI and TTI state

This field is only provided for SbUs with


 P12-mode set to Terminated or Monitored
 TTI enabled
The expression in this field corresponds to the TTI in the signal received.
The TTI State indicates whether the TTI in the received traffic signal corre-
sponds to the expected TTI. In the example above the
 SbU 1 receives the expected TTI in the traffic signal.
The TTI State is OK.
 SbU 2 receives the default value of the TTI sent in the Tx direction.
The TTI State is Mismatch.

Figure 15: Summary of LOMI<X> loops

The following loops can be individually set for each of the 8 SbUs:
 TS Loops (front end) (for framed signals only)
Loops individual TSs of the received 2 Mbit/s signal back to the local
CPE (Customer Premises Equipment). The loop is made in the DXC
block. AIS is sent onward on the TS on the 2 Mbit/s to the remote side
and on the relevant signalling bits abcd of the TS16.
 Back End Loop
Loops the outgoing 2 Mbit/s signal (all TSs) back to the remote FOX.
AIS is transmitted to the 2 Mbit/s output.
 Front End Loop
Loops the received 2 Mbit/s signal (all TSs) back to the local CPE
(Customer Premises Equipment). AIS is transmitted to the remote
CPE. For 2 Mbit/s signals in the terminated mode, AIS is sent on all
data TSs.
Please note that:
 Loops are not part of the NE configuration. Due to this the con-
figuration of loops does not require configuration download. In-
stead the loops are set or removed immediately after the com-

Loops for SbUs with PRA and NT1 Leased Line modes

1.1.1.1.1 Loops controlled via the EMS


On the maintenance level of the FOX (QAN) the SbUs of the LOMI<X> oper-
ating in a PRA or NT1 Leased Lines mode provide loops as follows
 2 Mbit/s signal level:
Same type of loops as the other modes (refer to the previous paragraph):
 2 Mbit/s front end loop
 2 Mbit/s back end loop
 64 kbit/s signal level:
Front end loop for selected TSs of the 2 Mbit/s signal.
This type of loop is only available for SbUs with the modes
 NT1-T (PRA)/(LL)
 NT1-U (PRA)/(LL)
These loops are identical to the TS loops as described in the previous
paragraph.

1KHW002024 page 44 of 69 ABB

The TS loop is not available for the LT modes since the P12 signals are
not terminated.

1.1.1.1.2 Loops controlled via the Sa6-bit


The PRA and Leased Lines functionalities provide additional 2 Mbit/s loops
for some of the functional groups. The loops are controlled via the Sa6-bit
(QLE or the corresponding interface for the Leased Lines):
 LT-U: PRA Loop (Loop 1)
This loop (PRA Loop) is controlled via the Sa6-bit from the ET (QLE). The
LOMI<X> allows status monitoring of the loop.
 NT1-T (PRA): PRA Loop (Loop 2)
This loop (PRA Loop) is controlled via the Sa6-bit from the ET (QLE). The
LOMI<X> allows status monitoring of the loop.
 NT1-T (LL): LL Loop (Loop)
This loop (LL Loop) is controlled via the Sa6-bit. The LOMI<X> allows
status monitoring of the loop.
Although it is not possible to control the PRA and LL loops with the UCST,
you can monitor the state of the loops.

1.1.1.1.3 Loop control


The loops are controlled and monitored as previously described.
The dialogues below show samples of the corresponding maintenance dia-
logues for the PRA Loop (NT1-T (PRA)) and the LL Loop (NT1-T (LL)).

Unfiltered PM is available for the LOMI<X> (2Mbit/s-<n>) subunit for the
Near End (Terminated and Monitored P12-modes only) and provides infor-
mation on frame slips:
 SLIP:
Each subunit provides a counter for positive and negative frame slips.
Frame slips occur when the subunits have to eliminate/add a multi-frame
from/to the ITU-T G.704 framed 2 Mbit/s traffic signal. Frame slips hap-
pen if the local NE timing and the timing provided via the traffic signal are
not synchronised:
 SLIP+ (positive slip):

Protection switching with the LOMI<X>

Principles

When protection switching is configured, on the transmit side the Tx signal is


broadcast to the transmission network from the local FOX to the remote FOX
using 2 different paths, the normal path and the stand-by path.
On the received side, both Rx signals from the normal and stand-by paths
are monitored. Depending on the switching criteria (alarm on the signal), the
signal is read from either the normal path or the stand-by path.
The figure below shows the protection switching with the LOMI<X> in the NE
where the path of the traffic signal is terminated.

It can be seen that the protection switching is closely related to the PBUS.
For this reason other PBUS units with the 2 Mbit/s traffic signal layer support
protection switching the same way (e.g. the PCONV, the SYNAC etc.).
For definition of the terminology and details of traffic signal protection with
the FOX, refer to FOX Network Functions.

Switching criteria The LOMI<X> supports various 1+1 protection switching network configura-
tions on both the n x 64 kbit/s TS level (n = 1-30) and 2 Mbit/s transparent
signal level.

 2 Mbit/s 1+1 Section/Path Protection


 P12s SNCP/N
 P12x SNCP/I
 n x 64 kbit/s 1+1 Path Protection for n x 64 kbit/s TS (n = 1 … 31)
for all units
 P0-nc SNCP/I
Depending on the P12-mode the following criteria trigger the protection
switch for the traffic signals:

Switchback

The protection switching is revertive. When the fault that caused the switch-
over clears, the signal path switches back from the protecting path to the
working path.

Guidelines in configuring cross connections with protection

The menu NE Configuration  Cross Connections… and the corre-


sponding dialogues allow you to implement cross connections with protec-
tion.
For details of setting up cross connections with protection, refer to [UCST
System Operaion Basics user guide for the generic procedures and FOX
User Guide for system specific information.

Status of protection cross connections

The menu NE Configuration  Cross Connections… and the corre-


sponding status dialogues allow you to monitor the status of the protection
switching in the cross connection.

7 Failures, alarms and notifications

Failure indication

The FOX alarm system processes failures. The failures are locally indicated
via the front panel LEDs of the unit and the alarm LEDs of the COBU<X> (if
applicable).
The LOMI<X> front panel has two LEDs:
 The upper LED indicates a unit failure if the unit no longer responds nor-
mally or if the unit self-test terminated with errors.
 The lower LED indicates a traffic failure if the SbU reports a failure.
For the definition of terms (Defects, Fault Causes, Failures etc.) and details
of the FOX fault handling and alarm system, refer to the chapter "Diagnos-
tics, Fault and Alarm Handling" in FOX User Guide.

Fault cause tables

Board Layer D.S. = Default Severity NA = Non-urgent alarm UA = urgent alarm

Fault Cause D.S. Description

Localisation Generic Alarm Text

Board Unit not available UA This alarm indicates the complete failure of the unit. Hard-
ware and/or software problems can create the complete unit
failure:
- No hardware available (empty slot)
- The unit does not respond (unit failed)
- Wrong hardware in the slot
(with respect to the NE configuration)
- Unit with no or incompatible ESW
To reset the alarm you must eliminate the failure. With the
exception of the ESW based failures, the elimination of the
failure requires manual intervention.

fer to FOX User Guide for the description of the software download.

Upgrades

You can upgrade your existing LOMI<X> to new functional unit(s) described
with your new UCST release if the new functional unit is compatible with
your hardware and you have the corresponding software licence.

The upgrade of systems with LOMI<X> or PCONV (operating its 2 Mbit/s in-
terfaces) units to the functional units provided with new UCST software re-
quires special attention:
Upgrading the ESW and the functional units can destroy the syn-
chronisation via 2 Mbit/s interfaces if the transmitting LOMI<X> or
PCONV interfaces operate in the SSI mode!

Before you start the update and to avoid the loss of the synchronisation via
LOMI<X> or PCONV interfaces operating in the SSI mode consider:
 If you do not upgrade the control unit ESW there is no risk of loss of syn-
chronisation by upgrading the LOMI<X>/PCONV ESW.
However, the LOMI<X>/PCONV ESW upgrade normally also includes the
upgrade of the control unit ESW. ABB Switzerland strongly recommends
upgrading the control unit with new ESW.
 If you upgrade the control unit ESW in networks using the Sa5-bit of traf-
fic signals in the LOMI<X>/PCONV interfaces for synchronisation control,
an uncontrolled upgrade could lead to the interruption of the synchronisa-
tion.
 To avoid interruptions of the synchronisation while upgrading the
LOMI<X>/PCONV and the control unit ESW proceed as follows:
 Connect your PC/computer running the new UCST to the NE that you
want to upgrade.
 Upload the NE configuration.
 Open the Menu NE Configuration  Timing Sources and select the
tab PETS.
 Press [Ok] to save the configuration and quit.
 Download the configuration to the NE via a partial or a full download.
 Now you can update the ESW and the functional units as described in
FOX User Guide.
For detailed information on the upgrade procedures for the FOX core (con-
trol units) and traffic units, refer to the paragraphs "Upgrade procedures" in
FOX User Guide.
