 Service and Equipment
Protection
• The service protection and equipment
protection schemes provided by the OptiX
RTN 600 are as follows:
– 1+1 hot standby (HSB)
– Microwave 1+1 space diversity (SD)
– Microwave 1+1 frequency diversity (FD)
– Reverse Switch
– Sub-network connection protection (SNCP)
– Cross-connect and clock unit (PXC) active/standby

 Description of 1+1 HSB
• Switch point
– Cross-connection board.

• Switch condition
– Automatic: IF board hardware fault, ODU hardware fault, microwave
frame loss, etc.
– Manual: locking, forced, manual, and clearing

• Characteristics
– The active/standby unit has no restrictions on the paired slots.
– The switch actions are implemented by the software and hardware.
– The service will be interrupted in the case of switch.

 Description of Hitless Switch
(HSM)
• Switch point
– IF board.
• Switch condition
– Automatic: microwave frame loss, microwave signal loss,
microwave bit error , etc.
– Manual switch: Force switch, clear.
• Characteristics
– The Active /standby IF board must be in paired slots.
– Switch is implemented by hardware.
– Service has no interruption during switch.
 Reverse Switch
• Scenario
– System fails to detect the hardware faults in
transmitting direction
• Switch condition
– Remote site detected the failure and trigger the
HSB or SD switch in local site by RDI.
• Characteristics
– It is only configured in the case of HSB or SD.
– Through the service detection, all the hardware
faults in the transmitting direction can be protected.

 Services are concurrently sent at NE A. The path that through NE B is the
active path. The path that through NE D is the standby path.
 In the normal state, NE C selects the services from the active path.
 In switching state, NE C switch to select the services from the standby path.
