4 Proprietary and Confidential

TDM Ports Configuration

IP-10G has 16 TDM ports + 16 additional ports when a 2 nd T-Card

is installed.

Supported PHYs:
• E1
• DS1

Dynamic allocation:
Radio bandwidth (which may vary in ACM) is automatically allocated in the
following order:

1. High-priority TDM trails

2. Low-priority TDM trails
3. Ethernet traffic (Data + Management, QoS should be considered)

TDM trails in both sides of a link should have identical priorities.

5 Proprietary and Confidential

TDM Ports Configuration – Standalone IDU

E1/DS1 port #n will be mapped to

radio VC#n (n=1-16).

When Trails are configured, default

mapping (above) is overwritten by Trail
Mapping.

However, if no trails are configured (all

are deleted) system will revert to the
default setting.

When Trail is configured and set to

Operational - TDM port is activated.

When Trail is configured but set to

Reserved - TDM port is disabled.

6 Proprietary and Confidential

TDM Ports Configuration – Node Site

Up to 180 trails can be configured in a

Shelf / node

The number of Trails mapped to a

radio depends on radio capacity
(MRMC).

The maximum number of radio Trails

is 75 (E1) or 84 (DS1).

7 Proprietary and Confidential

AIS Line Detection

This feature allows detection of AIS

signals in TDM traffic incoming from line
interfaces (E1/DS1, STM-1):

In case of detection, the following takes place:

• Signal failure is generated at the corresponding trail – this will cause the
far end not to receive a signal (including trail ID indications) and the trail
status to show “signal failure” and “trail ID mismatch”.

• An indication is given to user at the proper interface. Notice that this is

not a system alarm, since the problem originates elsewhere in the
Network

8 Proprietary and Confidential

AIS Signaling in STM interface (VC 12)
In case of signal failure at the trail outgoing from the STM-1
interface, AIS will be transmitted at the payload of the VC-12.

9 Proprietary and Confidential

STM interface Configuration
The following configurations are available:
Admin: Enable / Disable

When interface is disabled:

• There is no signal transmission
• Received signal is ignored
• Trails previously configured to STM-1 interface will get
“Signal Failure”
• No alarms will be shown

Clock source: Internal Clock / Loop / TDM Trail

Mute TX: mutes the outgoing STM-1 signal, but received

signal will be used for traffic

Excessive BER threshold: specific for STM-1 interface

Signal degrade threshold: specific for STM-1 interface

10 Proprietary and Confidential

AIS Signaling in STM interface (V5)
The system can be configured to signal AIS at the VC
level (AIS-V) in the V5 byte of the overhead.

This is meant to provide indications to SDH

multiplexing equipment which may not have the ability
to detect AIS at the payload level.

For example: signaling in outgoing V5 byte upon AIS

detection at payload-level (E1)

“111111111” “111111111”

AIS @ E1 TS AIS @ STM V5

11 Proprietary and Confidential

STM interface Configuration
J0 trace identifier is fully supported in both
15-byte and 1-byte modes:
• An alarm will be raised when the expected string
differs from the received string (but traffic will not be
affected).

• Transmit, Expected and Received strings are

provided.

• If a string is defined and user changes the length

from 15 bytes to 1 byte, the first byte will be analyzed
and other bytes ignored.

The string transmitted as J2 trace identifier is the Trail

ID defined for the TDM trail mapped to the
corresponding VC-12 interface.

12 Proprietary and Confidential

Auxiliary Interfaces

• Up to 19200 baud, Asynchronous RS-232.

• Up to 19200 baud, Asynchronous V.11.

EOW may be used as a simple solution for on-site

communication between two technicians / installers / etc.

13 Proprietary and Confidential

WSC Interface
• WSC interface is limited to 1628 bytes.
• 2.048Mbps (Wide) or 64Kbps (Narrow)
• Consumes BW from the total link BW

Out of band Management using WSC:

In this case, remote system is managed using Wayside channel.

On both local & remote units, Wayside channel will be connected to management port
(using cross Ethernet cable).

WSC can be configured to "narrow“ capacity (~64kbps) or "wide" capacity (~2Mbps).

It is recommended to use “wide” WSC in order to get better management performance,

since “narrow” WSC might be too slow.

14 Proprietary and Confidential

OOB MNG in a 1+0 standalone link

At least 2 management ports are needed in a local unit:

One port for local management, and 2nd port that will be connected to Wayside port.

On remote unit, Wayside port will be connected to management port.

15 Proprietary and Confidential

OOB MNG in a 1+1 standalone IDUs (Y-Splitter)

Active & Standby MNG ports

have 2 options to be
connected to the Host:
Using Ethernet splitter
cable connected to external
switch.
Using Protection "Patch
Panel".
WSC port will be connected in each unit to other
available management port.
In remote site, each unit's Wayside port should be
connected to management port.
