1 Managing WDM Protection Subnets
Managing WDM Protection Subnets
About This Chapter

A protection subnet has a structure of providing complete self-protection functions. The purpose
of managing protection subnets is to configure and display network protection, for example,
browsing, deleting, modifying and searching for protection subnets, managing isolated nodes.
1.1 Basic Concepts
According to the layered structure of transport network, protection subnet, belonging to the
network layer, refers to a network structure that has a comprehensive self-protection function.
The protection subnet is a network unit of composing the optical transport network. To have a
good understanding of the protection subnet, you need to learn some basic concepts of the
network layer.
1.2 Searching for Protection Subnets
By searching for a protection subnet, the configured protection attributes at the NE layer on the
U2000 are synchronized to the network layer on the U2000 to create protection subnets
automatically.
1.3 Configuring 1:N Wavelength Protection
On the U2000, you can create 1:N wavelength protection groups, search for 1:N wavelength
protection subnets, and perform an external switch from 1:N wavelength protection subnets.
1.4 Configuring Protection for an ODUk SPRing
By using the U2000, you can query the protection subnet resources for an ODUk SPRing, create
an ODUk protection group, search for the ODUk SPRing, perform data consistency check on
the ODUk SPRing, set the protection subnet parameters for the ODUk SPRing, and delete an
ODUk SPRing.
1.5 Maintaining Protection Subnets
On the U2000, you can maintain protection subnets.
1.6 Deleting Isolated Nodes
To release protection resources that are used by isolated nodes, you need to delete isolated nodes.
1.7 Deleting Protection Subnets
When an existing protection subnet is not suitable, you can delete the protection subnet.

network layer, refers to a network structure that has a comprehensive self-protection function.
The protection subnet is a network unit of composing the optical transport network. To have a
good understanding of the protection subnet, you need to learn some basic concepts of the
network layer.
1.1.1 Protection Subnet
A protection subnet refers to a network architecture that has a comprehensive self-protection
function. It is a network that composes the optical transmission network.
1.1.2 Isolated Node
An isolated node is not equal to an isolated NE. An isolated node refers to a special logical
system that is independent from any protection subnet. An isolated node does not belong to any
protection subnet.
1.1.1 Protection Subnet

A protection subnet refers to a network architecture that has a comprehensive self-protection
function. It is a network that composes the optical transmission network.
In the U2000, a protection subnet is a network level concept. NEs and fiber connections are the
basic elements required to construct a protection subnet. You should create NEs, perform basic
configurations for them, and then properly create fiber connections between the NEs. You should
have access to sufficient resources to create a protection subnet.
1.1.2 Isolated Node

An isolated node is not equal to an isolated NE. An isolated node refers to a special logical
system that is independent from any protection subnet. An isolated node does not belong to any
protection subnet.
An isolated node is a node that is configured at NEs but cannot or does not compose a protection
subnet with other nodes. Currently, the WDM equipment supports the 1:N optical path protection
subnet and the ODUk SPRing protection subnet. The network node that is configured with the
1:N optical path protection group or the ODUk SPRing protection group but does not belong to
any protection subnet is an isolated node.
An isolated node should not exist in a transmission network that runs normally. The reason for
the existence of any isolated nodes can be as follows:
l
The configuration is incorrect at the NE side.
The fiber that should be connected to the node is not created on the U2000.
1.2 Searching for Protection Subnets

By searching for a protection subnet, the configured protection attributes at the NE layer on the
U2000 are synchronized to the network layer on the U2000 to create protection subnets
automatically.

an WDM trail search so that you can manage configured services by using the trail management
function.
2.1.4 Configuring WDM Trails
After searching out the relevant trail information on the U2000, you can create OCh, ODUk or
client trails by specifying the sources and sinks of the trails.
2.1.5 Creating a Platinum Service
In a platinum service group, the WDM trails do not pass through the same NE, fiber or fiber/
cable pipe, so that the risk that multiple trails are interrupted is lowered.
2.1.6 Binding a Platinum Service Group
You can bind a trail or trails when you need to add an existing trail to a platinum service group
or bind existing trails as a platinum service group.
2.1.7 Service Authorization Management
If there are multiple service trails maintained by different operators, they may care about only
the trails in their own responsibility but ignore the other services. Service authorization can filter
the information not in concern of an operator, who then views and manages only the trails in the
responsibility. In this manner, the management and maintenance efficiency is improved.
2.1.8 Viewing WDM Trails
This section describes how to view the connection relation of all boards on a WDM NE.
2.1.9 Maintaining WDM Trails
The end-to-end trails are carriers of services of the customers. In the routine maintenance, the
administrator and maintainer must find out the status of the trails to ensure that all the services
are transmitted correctly.
2.1.10 Modifying WDM Trails
Due to service requirements, sometimes, you need to modify the configuration of a WDM trail.
U2000 supports manually modifying the source and sink of an exisiting WDM trail and the trail
names in batches, instead of creating WDM trails. This greatly simplifies the operations.

2.1.11 Deleting a WDM Trail

The operation deletes the WDM trails from the network layer or from the NE layer. You need
to delete the trails if the network will be adjusted or rebuilt.

2.1.1 Configuration Task Flow

A configuration task flow describes the operation tasks that manage an WDM network by using
the end-to-end function of the U2000. In addition, the relationships between the operation tasks
are described.
Referring to the Figure 2-1, configure and manage an WDM network.

l When you create a Client or an ODUk trail whose source or sink is an NG WDM NE, you need to set
the working mode of the card, and service mode and service type of the port. For details, see 2.6
Configuring Board Parameters.
l When you create a Client or an ODUk trail in a network that consists of NG WDM NEs, you can create
the trail on an OCh server trail directly. Specifically, cross-layer creation is supported and the U2000
can create mid-layer server trails automatically.
In the landscape orientation of the configuration flow diagram, the main phases of managing an
WDM network by using the end-to-end function of the U2000 are shown, that is, configuring
and maintaining a trail. All these functions require the corresponding license that provides the
end-to-end management function.

2.1.2 Basic Concepts

This section describes the basic concepts of the WDM end-to-end management.
2.1.2.1 WDM Trail
The concept, type and relevant information about trails are described here.
2.1.2.2 Conflict Trail
If a trail exists on the U2000, but the cross-connection that forms the trail does not exist at the
NE layer, this trail is a conflict trail.
2.1.2.3 Trail Creation Method
The U2000 provides multiple methods for creating trails to meet different operation habits of
users and requirements of different service scenarios.
2.1.2.4 Process for Creating a Trail
The trail creation process describes a series of procedures before a trail is generated on the
U2000. The detailed process varies with the creation method.
2.1.2.5 Platinum Service Group
The platinum service group is the combination of multiple WDM trails. Any two trails in the
group do not pass through the same NE, fiber, or fiber/cable pipe. In this way, services are not
hardly interrupted.
2.1.2.1 WDM Trail

The concept, type and relevant information about trails are described here.
The U2000 enables you to create, search, view, join, split, and delete WDM trails. In addition,
the U2000 provides the signal flow diagram that visually displays the signal flow and the
transmission media layer route of trails. This facilitates operations and improves the maintenance
efficiency.
Currently the U2000 provides the following OTN trail modules that comply with ITU-T G.872:
l
Client trail
ODUk trail: optical channel data unit (ODUk) trail
OTUk trail: optical channel transport (OTUk) unit trail
OCh trail: optical channel trail
OMS trail: optical multiplexing section trail
OTS trail: optical transmission section trail
OSC trail: optical supervisory channel (OSC) trail

NOTE
l The first six types are related to services, and the OSC trail is related to supervisory signals.
l The OTS trail cannot be deleted from the U2000. You must delete the fiber connection before deleting
the OTS trail.
l The rate level varies with the value of "k" in ODUk/OTUk. For details, see Table 2-1. ODU5G/OTU5G
is a level customized by Huawei.

ODUk Trail
Different from other trails, an ODUk/OTUk sets the source and sink at the internal ports of an
OTU card, a tributary card or a line card. Figure 2-4 displays a typical ODUk trail module whose
source and sink are set on the internal ports of tributary ports or of line cards.

Inverse Multiplexing Trail

The rate of the client layer of an inverse multiplexing trail is greater than the rate of the server
layer. Hence, an inverse multiplexing client trail needs multiple trails to serve as its server layer.
Currently, you can only search for an inverse multiplexing trail, but you cannot create an endto-end inverse multiplexing trail.
An inverse multiplexing client trail can take an ODU1 or ODU2 trail as the server trail. That is,
an inverse multiplexing client trail cannot take ODU1 and ODU2 trails as the server trails at the
same time.
40G inverse multiplexing trail model

The transmission rate of a single wavelength is 40G, but a single wavelength cannot used for
long-distance transmission due to an optical layer index (such as dispersion) restriction. In a
40G inverse multiplexing transmission scheme, a 40G signal is converted to four 10G ODU2
signals, each of which uses one wavelength. This is equal to four 10G signals on the line side
and lowers the optical layer index requirement.
Figure 2-6 shows the inverse multiplexing trail model of the TSXL card. You cannot
dynamically adjust the bandwidth of STM-256 or OC768 services whose rate is 40G. Hence,
you can search for a client trail only after you configure four ODU2 trails. If you configure only
one, two or three ODU2 trails, services are unavailable and you fail to search for the client trail.
2-8

Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

Figure 2-6 40G inverse multiplexing trail
10G inverse multiplexing trail model

The TDX card is a 10G inverse multiplexing tributary card that has two individual transmission
paths. Each path inversely multiplexes a 10G service to multiple ODU1 signals, which are crossconnected to a line card for transmission. The 10G service uses any or all of the four ODU1
signals according to bandwidth status. When the 10G service does not use all of the four ODU1
signals, the 10G service share an ODU2 trail with other ODU1 signals. This saves line resources.
Figure 2-7 shows the inverse multiplexing trail model of the IP3 port on the TDX card. A 10G
service is an Ethernet service for which you can dynamically adjust bandwidth. The server layer
allows one, two, three or four ODU1 trails. Hence, the client trail that you search out is of
different rate levels.

2.1.2.2 Conflict Trail

If a trail exists on the U2000, but the cross-connection that forms the trail does not exist at the
NE layer, this trail is a conflict trail.
Cause
A trail consists of a single station cross-connection at the NE layer. If the configuration data at
the NE layer changes and a complete trail cannot be formed at the network layer, the trail that
exists on the U2000 is a conflict trail, and the corresponding cross-connection at the NE layer
becomes a discrete service.
l
Adding a fiber leads to trail extension.

Assume that a trail is NE A-> NE B. Create a fiber from NE B to NE C, and create a service
on NE C. As a result, the trail is extended as NE A->NE C. The trail NE A-> NE B that
exists on the U2000 becomes a conflict trail. See Figure 2-8.

The original trail is NE A-> NE C. The cross-connection of the trail on NE B is deleted.

On the U2000, the original trail of NE A-> NE C becomes a conflict trail and services on
NE A and NE C become discrete services. See Figure 2-9.

Handling Method
During trail search, if the U2000 searches out a conflict trail, the U2000 stops the searching and
asks you to confirm the conflict trail. There are the following two handling methods:
l
Stop searching.
If you fail to verify that the conflict trail is correct, you can choose to stop searching. The
conflict trail remains, but the U2000 does not generate a new trail.
Continue to search.
The system deletes the conflict trail from the network layer. This operation does not delete
the cross-connection on a per-NE basis, and does not affect services on the NE.
NOTE
After the conflict trail is deleted, its customized information, including the trail name, remarks, is
permanently lost and cannot be restored.
2.1.2.3 Trail Creation Method

The U2000 provides multiple methods for creating trails to meet different operation habits of
users and requirements of different service scenarios.
Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

2-11

To successfully create a trail on the U2000, the following prerequisites must be met:
l
All the NEs that the trail passes through must have enough idle resources.
The data on the U2000 must be consistent with the data on the NE.
The fibers on the U2000 are correctly connected.
Table 2-2 shows the methods, features, and application scenarios of the trail creation.

2.1.2.5 Platinum Service Group

The platinum service group is the combination of multiple WDM trails. Any two trails in the
group do not pass through the same NE, fiber, or fiber/cable pipe. In this way, services are not
hardly interrupted.
As shown in Figure 2-13, a bidirectional service exists between Router1 and Router2 and this
service is displayed as trail A between NE1 and NE2 in the management scope of the U2000.
To protect the service, another bidirectional trail needs to be added between the two routers and
this trail is displayed as trail B between NE3 and NE4 in the management scope of the U2000.
When you create trail B, trail A is considered as a reference trail so that the two trails do not
Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

2-15

pass through the same NE, fiber, or fiber/cable pipe. In this way, the risk that the two trails are
interrupted at the same time is lowered. Therefore, trail A and trail B form a platinum service
group.
Figure 2-13 Platinum service group
The platinum service group must meet the requirements as follows:

l
A platinum service group contains a minimum of two trails.
The trails cannot pass through the same NEs.
The trails cannot pass through the same fiber.
The trails cannot pass through the same fiber/cable pipes.

NOTE
The preceding constraints do not apply to a trail under protection. For example, the protection trails for
two SNCP services travel along the same fiber/cable pipe. The platinum service group that the two
protection trails belong to is Normal. In this case, a downgrade alarm does not occur.
When a third trail needs to be added into the platinum service group, you only need to specify
the existing trail A or trail B as the reference trail and then the U2000 automatically searches
out the two existing trails and groups the three trails.
NOTE
You can also bind the existing trails to generate a platinum service group.
As shown in Figure 2-13, when the platinum service group is no longer required, you can remove
trail B from the platinum service group instead of deleting trail B. In this way, trail A and trail
B are independent of each other and their routes are not mutually constrained. If rerouting occurs
or the route is modified, the two trails may pass through the same NE, fiber, and fiber/cable pipe.
When you create trails, different trails cannot fully comply with the requirements of the platinum
services due to insufficient resources and then you can create downgraded platinum services.
As shown in Figure 2-14, trail A and trail B pass through NE5 and thus you can create only a
downgraded platinum service group. A downgraded platinum service group cannot provide the
expected protection of a platinum service group. For example, when NE5 is faulty, the
connection between Router1 and Router2 is interrupted. To make the service group fully comply
with the requirements of the platinum service, you can change the route of trail B to the route
of trail C between NE3 and NE4, when resources are sufficient.
2-16

Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

Figure 2-14 Downgraded platinum service group
A platinum service group contains multiple trails. Therefore, the service is not interrupted unless
all trails are interrupted. After detecting the interruption of a certain trail, the U2000 checks
whether other trails in the platinum service group are interrupted. If a complete trail exists, the
severity of the service interruption alarm is reduced to a lower level.
When the platinum service group does not meet the requirements due to a certain cause, the
platinum service group is in the downgraded state and the U2000 reports an alarm about the
downgrade of the platinum service.
2.1.3 Creating WDM Trails by Trail Search

After a new network is set up or services are configured on a per-NE basis, you need to perform
an WDM trail search so that you can manage configured services by using the trail management
function.
2.1.3.1 Searching for WDM Trails
After you create fibers and configure services for WDM equipment on the U2000, the trail
information does not exist in the network layer of the U2000. To manage WDM trails, you need
to search for the data of cross-connections and fiber connections over the network to generate
end-to-end WDM trails at the network layer of the U2000.
2.1.3.2 Viewing Discrete Services
If some cross-connections on an NE cannot form trails at the network layer and are isolated on
the NE, these cross-connections are called discrete services. By using the U2000, you can view
the details of a discrete service and the signal flow diagram of the trail where the discrete service
is transmitted, and analyze the cause of the discrete service. This improves the maintainability
of the discrete services of the U2000.
2.1.3.3 Activating and Deactivating Discrete Services
If certain cross-connections on NEs cannot form network-layer trails but exist on NEs separately,
these cross-connections are called discrete services. Deactivating discrete services deletes the
NE cross-connections from NEs and saves the relevant data on the U2000 only. This operation
helps to release the occupied channels. On the contrary, activating discrete services deploys
cross-connections to NEs according to the data saved on the U2000.
2.1.3.4 Acknowledging or Unacknowledging Discrete Services
In this user interface, you can acknowledge discrete services and filter discrete services based
on their acknowledgment status.
Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

2-17

2.1.3.5 Deleting Discrete Services

Discrete services occupy the cross-connections required by normal services. As a result, normal
services cannot be created. Therefore, you need to delete the discrete services that are not in use.

After you create fibers and configure services for WDM equipment on the U2000, the trail
information does not exist in the network layer of the U2000. To manage WDM trails, you need
to search for the data of cross-connections and fiber connections over the network to generate
end-to-end WDM trails at the network layer of the U2000.
Prerequisite
l
Fiber connections must be created correctly for the WDM equipment.
Among the five types of trails, only the OTS trail can be managed directly without being
searched, because the data is stored at the network layer when fibers are created.
The networking in which no fiber connection exists between cross-connections of the same
level is not supported.
The U2000 supports the ability to search for an unterminated trail.
The U2000 supports the ability to search for a WDM trail that has multiple sources and
sinks.
The U2000 supports the ability to restore the user-defined information. When you delete a
trail from the network layer of the U2000, the user-defined information of the trail is saved
in the system. Hence, when you search for a trail that has the same source or sink and
direction as the deleted trail, you can restore the user-defined information.
You can only search for an inverse multiplexing client trail.
Context
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Service > WDM Trail > Search for WDM Trail from the Main Menu.
Step 2 Under Advanced settings, set the search policies.
2-18

Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

NOTE
l In the mode of searching by subnet, the selected subnet range should be independent from the
networking aspect. That is, no fiber connection exists between the selected subnet range and the area
that beyond the selected subnet range.
l If you select Hide optional trails, the third-party wavelength services can be searched out because
they are not filtered out during verification.
Step 3 Click Next to begin to search for trails. The U2000 takes some time to return the results,
depending on the number of services.
NOTE
l If there are cross-connections that are collisions and these cross-connections cannot form end to end
trails, the U2000 shows the conflicting trails after you perform the search operation.
l The principles of verifying a conflict trail are as follows: The networking changes. The trail may cause
interruption of service flow. For example, the key information of the trail, including deleting a crossconnection or fiber, is verified.
Step 4 Optional: Click Next to view the conflicting trail information. Select the trail to set the trail
management flag.
NOTE
Skip this step if the Automatically create trails after searching policy is selected in Step 2.
Step 5 Click Next to view all discrete services in the target network.
NOTE
If Step 4 is executed, the U2000 deletes trails that do not have the management flag from the network layer.
This does not affect services of the actual NE or the data of an individual NE on the U2000.
Step 6 After the search is complete, click Finish.

the details of a discrete service and the signal flow diagram of the trail where the discrete service
is transmitted, and analyze the cause of the discrete service. This improves the maintainability
of the discrete services of the U2000.
Prerequisite
Context
To ensure the correctness of the discrete service data, you can perform a trail search before
viewing discrete services. For details, see 2.1.3.1 Searching for WDM Trails.
Procedure

are displayed.
Step 4 In the list, select a discrete service.
Step 5 Optional: At the bottom of the window, click the Transmission Media Layer Route tab. On
this tab page, you can view the NE that carries the cross-connection.
Step 6 Optional: At the bottom of the window, click the Signal Flow Diagram tab. On this tab page,
you can view the signal flow of the trail where the discrete service is transmitted and analyze
the cause of the discrete service.
NOTE
Due to the loss of cross-connections or fibers, only part of the trail where the discrete service is transmitted
is displayed in the Signal Flow Diagram. That is, this part of the trail contains the discrete service and is
terminated at a missing cross-connection or fiber.

2.1.3.3 Activating and Deactivating Discrete Services

If certain cross-connections on NEs cannot form network-layer trails but exist on NEs separately,
these cross-connections are called discrete services. Deactivating discrete services deletes the
NE cross-connections from NEs and saves the relevant data on the U2000 only. This operation

2.1.3.4 Acknowledging or Unacknowledging Discrete Services

In this user interface, you can acknowledge discrete services and filter discrete services based
on their acknowledgment status.
Prerequisite
Context
Discrete services occupy network resources and this may affect the successful creation of trails.
Therefore, you can acknowledge unnecessary cross-connections. In this way, another network
maintainer can determine whether a discrete service is an unnecessary cross-connection based
on the acknowledgment status. If unnecessary, the maintainer deletes the service.
Procedure

2.1.4 Configuring WDM Trails

After searching out the relevant trail information on the U2000, you can create OCh, ODUk or
client trails by specifying the sources and sinks of the trails.
2.1.4.1 Creating an OCh Trail
The U2000 supports creating OCh trails in an end-to-end mode. After you specify the source
and sink of a service, the U2000 can generate an OCh trail based on the searched server trail.
The WDM trail creation feature simplifies the service configuration procedure and ensures
proper operation. In addition, you can groom and deploy services in a flexible manner in
application scenarios (deployment or expansion).Before creating an EAPE pair, you should
2-22

Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

create OCh trails. The EAPE function uses OCh trails to identify EAPE pairs. In the case of the
equipment with the dynamic optical cross-connection boards, you can create OCh trails manually
by using the trail management function of the U2000.
2.1.4.2 Creating an ODUk Trail
The U2000 supports creating ODUk trails in an end-to-end mode. After you specify the source
and the sink of a service, the U2000 automatically searches for the server trail and creates the
ODUk trail. The WDM trail creation feature simplifies the service configuration procedure and
ensures proper operation. In addition, you can groom and deploy services in a flexible manner
in application scenarios such as deployment or expansion.
2.1.4.3 Creating Client Trails
The U2000 supports creating client trails in an end-to-end mode. After you specify the source
and sink of a service, the U2000 generates a client trail based on the searched or created server
trail. The WDM trail creation feature simplifies the service configuration procedure and ensures
application scenarios such as deployment or expansion.
2.1.4.4 Creating a Mono Nodal Trail
The trails created on the same NE are called mono nodal trails. A mono nodal trail is created
based on inter-card cross-connections. If the inter-card cross-connection is not supported, a mono
nodal trail is created based on fibers.
2.1.4.5 Creating a Multi-Layer OTN Trail
When you create a Client trail or an ODUk trail for the NG WDM, an intermediate server trail
is automatically created at the OCh server layer without creating the trail at each layer. This
simplifies the operations.
2.1.4.1 Creating an OCh Trail

Prerequisite
l
The OMS server trail must be searched out.
Context
The U2000 supports the function of creating a third-party wavelength service. A third-party
wavelength service is the OCh trail whose source or sink port is located on the multiplexing and
demultiplexing card or the add/drop multiplexing card, or whose source and sink ports are located
on such cards.
The U2000 does not support the ability to reuse discrete cross-connections.
The source and sink of an OCh trail are the ports at the line side of the OTU boards. The boards
that the trail passes should support dynamic optical cross-connection or should contain static

l By default, if you already select one end (source or sink) of a trail and open the NE Panel to select
another end, the U2000 uses the board and port that have the same band and wavelength with priority.
l After you select the Enable third-party wavelength service port check box in the lower portion of
the window, you can create a trail whose source or sink is located on the multiplexing and
demultiplexing card (for example, M40 and D40) or the add/drop multiplexing card (for example, MR2
and WSM9), or whose source and sink ports are located on such cards. This trail is a third-party
wavelength service.
NOTE
l By default, the selected wavelength frequency is the current wavelength frequency of a (source) sink port.
You can select another proper wavelength frequency to meet the actual requirements.
l After the wavelength frequency for a source (sink) port is selected, the same wavelength frequency is selected
first for the corresponding sink (source) port. If the same wavelength frequency is not available for the
corresponding sink (source) port, the current wavelength frequency of the selected sink (source) port is

The OTU1 ODU1, ODU2, ODU3 or OTU2 server trail must be searched out.
Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

2-27

If the source or sink is the TOM or 12LQMS card, you must set the working mode of the
card first. For details, see 2.6.1 Configuring the Working Mode of the Board.
Context
The configuration principles are as follows:
l
The source and sink of an ODUk (k = 0, 1, 2, 3, 5G) trail are LP ports of the TDG, TQM,
or TQS cards. The source and sink of an ODU0 trail are the LP ports of the tributary cards,
such as the 52TOM cards.
The line cards that support the grooming of ODU0 services are as follows: 52NS3, 52NQ2,
52ND2, and 52NS2.
The cards support the grooming of ODU0 services only in the synchronous mode. The
cards, however, do not support the grooming of ODU0 services in the asynchronous mode.
NOTE
In the synchronous mode, the cards (including tributary and line cards) that support the grooming of
ODU0 services work with synchronous cross-connect cards. The cross-connect card can be the
52XCH cards.
Only ODU0, ODU1 and ODU2 trails can be created. ODU5G and ODU3 trails cannot be
created, but can be searched.
If no cross-connect card (for example, XCS card) is available, the tributary card and line
card must be installed in paired slots of the same subrack.
During the installation of cross-connect card (for example, XCS card), the tributary card
and line card must be installed on the same subrack.
An ODU1 trail cannot be created on an OTU1 server trail formed by the networking of the
TQS cards.
Currently, two types of cards support the inverse multiplexing trail. The TSXL card
supports the inverse multiplexing of the 40 Gbit/s service and the TDX card supports the
inverse multiplexing of the 10 Gbit/s service
The U2000 supports the ability to reuse discrete cross-connections.
The U2000 does not support the ability to create a trail whose source and sink use the same
subrack.
The U2000 does not support the ability to create a trail that is terminated at one end.
An example of the ODUk networking scenario is as follows:

2.1.5 Creating a Platinum Service

In a platinum service group, the WDM trails do not pass through the same NE, fiber or fiber/
cable pipe, so that the risk that multiple trails are interrupted is lowered.
Prerequisite
l
The U2000 license that is used must support platinum services.
Only the Client and ODUk platinum services can be created.
The levels of the trails in a platinum service group must be consistent.
Context
The procedures of creating a platinum trail are almost the same as the procedures of creating a
non-platinum service, that is, normal service. The only difference is that you need to select a
reference trail for a platinum service. If a reference trail is selected, a platinum service group is
created at the same time. Otherwise, a non-platinum service (normal service) is created.
During the creation of a platinum service, if a reference trail is selected, the U2000 automatically
filters out the NE, fiber, and fiber/cable pipe that the reference trail passes through to calculate
a new route. If this reference trail already belongs to a certain platinum service group, the
U2000 also considers other trails in the platinum service group as reference trails to calculate a
new route.
If the U2000 cannot calculate a route after filtering out the NE, fiber, and fiber/cable pipe that
the reference trail passes through, the U2000 reduces the restrictions. Then, the U2000 calculates
a relatively appropriate route that passes through the preceding NE, fiber, or fiber/cable pipe to
continue the creation. Therefore, a downgraded platinum service group is created.
Procedure
Step 1 Create the trail in the platinum service group according to the procedures of creating a nonplatinum service.
To Create
See
Client trail

Step 2 In the Router Constraint area, click the Platinum Service Group tab.
Step 3 Right-click the blank area, and then choose Add from the shortcut menu. In the Set Trail Browse

2.1.7 Service Authorization Management

If there are multiple service trails maintained by different operators, they may care about only
the trails in their own responsibility but ignore the other services. Service authorization can filter
the information not in concern of an operator, who then views and manages only the trails in the
responsibility. In this manner, the management and maintenance efficiency is improved.
Figure 2-15 shows four service trails. Trails 1-2 are maintained by operator A and trails 3-4 are
maintained by operator B. By means of service authorization, operator A can maintain only trails
1-2 and cannot maintain trails 3-4 on the U2000. Similarly, operator B cannot maintain trails
1-2.

group is created.
2-64

Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

Prerequisite
l
The trail is not locked.
Context
The procedures of modifying a trail in a platinum service group are almost the same as the
procedures of modifying a non-platinum service, that is normal service. The differences are
described as follows:
l
When a trail in the platinum service group is modified, the U2000 automatically considers
other trails in the platinum service group as reference trails. Therefore, when calculating
the route, the U2000 automatically filters out the available resources of the fibers in the
fiber/cable pipe that the reference trails pass through.
When the trail in the platinum service group is modified, the U2000 checks whether the
trails in the platinum service group meet the requirements of the platinum service.
Procedure
Step 1 Modify the trail in the platinum service group according to the procedures of modifying the nonplatinum service. For details, see 2.1.10.1 Changing the Source, Sink, and Route of a WDM
Trail.

2.1.11 Deleting a WDM Trail

The operation deletes the WDM trails from the network layer or from the NE layer. You need
to delete the trails if the network will be adjusted or rebuilt.
Prerequisite
l
The trail is not the OTS trail.
The trail must have the highest priority.
The trails that contain dynamic cross-connections must be deactivated before deleted. Other
trails can be directly deleted.
Context
A WDM trail can be deleted from the network side or the NE side.
l
If a trail is deleted from the network side, only the WDM trail at the network layer is deleted
on the U2000 side. The deleted trail is not delivered to the NE. Moreover, the service is
not affected. Generally, this method is adopted to synchronize the trail information on the
U2000 side and the trail information at the network layer. After the trail is deleted from the
network layer, you can search for and find it again based on the service information at the
NE layer.
If a trail is deleted at the NE layer, the trail on the NE side is deleted accordingly. After the
trail is deleted, the service is interrupted. If the service configuration of the trail is incorrect
or needs to be modified, you can delete the trail at the NE layer and then create another
trail.
The U2000 supports the ability to delete a WDM trail and to delete a dynamic crossconnection related to the trail.
The U2000 does not support the ability to delete the WDM trail that has a client trail.
The U2000 does not support the ability to delete an OTS trail.
Before you delete a WDM trail, the dynamic cross-connection related to the trail must be
inactive. If active, an error is displayed during the deletion.

In the case of a static multiplexer or demultiplexer card, such as M40 and MR2, the wavelength of
the OTU card must be the same as the wavelength of the port on the multiplexer or demultiplexer
card that is connected to the OTU card.
In the case of a dynamic multiplexer or demultiplexer card, such as WMS9 and RMU9, the
wavelength of the OTU card must match the band of the multiplexer or demultiplexer card that is
connected to the OTU card.
In the preceding example, cards WSM9 and WSD9 belong to even bands. Therefore, you need to
select even wavelengths for the wavelength of the NE2 card.

NOTE
After the search, you will find that an OMS trail exists between the source and sink NEs where the OCh

NOTE
l In the case of an OCh trail without dynamic cross-connections, that is, with pure static crossconnections, you need not create such an OCh trail manually. Such an OCh trail can be searched out
directly after a trail search.
l If the source card and sink card of the OCh trail are cards such as L2DGD and L2QMD that can be
used for intra-card 1+1 protection, you must perform the trail search to search for OTUk trails after
the OCh trail is created. Otherwise, the cross-layer creation of a Client trail is affected. Specifically,
the created Client trail is inconsistent with the Client trail searched out after the trail search.

Parameter Planning
Server trails need to be created before you create an ODU1 trail. In the network provided in the
example, the server trails include OMS, OCh, ODUk, and OTUk trails. Among them, the OMS
trail can be searched out directly and need not be created manually. Since the U2000 supports
the cross-layer creation of trails, an ODU1 trail can be created on an OCh trail directly. Therefore,
you need to create an OCh trail before creating an ODU1 trail.
Since the ODU1 trail is a dual fed and selective receiving service, a working route and a
protection route exist for the trail. Therefore, in addition to the creation of the ODU1 trail, you
need to create server trails for its working route and protection route, that is, OCh-trail-1 and
OCh-trail-2.
NOTE
The ODU1 service has the working route, NE1->NE4, and the protection route, NE1->NE2->NE3->NE4.
l
The working route traverses the OCh trail OCh-trail-1.
The protection route traverses the OCh trail OCh-trail-2.

Parameter Planning
If you create a GE service with the traditional method, you also need to create the server trails
for the service. In the network provided in the example, the server trails include OMS, OCh,
ODU2, and ODU1 trails. Among them, the OMS trails can be searched out directly and need
not be created manually. After you create an OCh trail, you can search out the OTUk trail by
the trail search.
Since the GE service is a dual fed and selective receiving service, a working route and a protection
route exist for the service. Therefore, in addition to the creation of the GE service, you also need
to create server trails for the working route and protection route. In the tables below, trail-1
represents the server trail of the working route and trail-2, trail-3, trail-4 represents the server
trail of the protection route.
NOTE
The GE service has both the working route that is NE1->NE4 and the protection route that is NE1->NE2>NE3->NE4.
l The working route traverses the following OCh trail: OCh-trail-1.
l The protection route traverses the following OCh trails: OCh-trail-2 (that is, NE1->NE2), OCh-trail-3
(that is, NE2->NE3), and OCh-trail-4 (that is, NE3->NE4).

Parameter Planning
If you create a GE service with the cross-layer creation method, you can create the service
directly on an OCh link because the ODU2 and ODU1 server trails are generated automatically
during the creation of the GE service. In the network provided in the example, the server trails
include OTS, OMS, OCh, ODU2, and ODU1 trails. Among them, the OTS and OMS trails can
be searched out directly and need not be created manually. Hence, you only need to create an
OCh trail and the GE service.
Since the GE service is a dual fed and selective receiving service, a working route and a protection
route exist for the service. Therefore, in addition to the creation of the GE service, you also need
to create server trails for the working route and protection route. In the tables below, trail-1
represents the server trail of the working route and trail-2, trail-3, trail-4 represents the server
trail of the protection route.
NOTE
The GE service has both the working route that is NE1->NE4 and the protection route that is NE1->NE2>NE3->NE4.
l The working route traverses the following OCh trail: OCh-trail-1.
l The protection route traverses the following OCh trails: OCh-trail-2 (that is, NE1->NE2), OCh-trail-3
(that is, NE2->NE3), and OCh-trail-4 (that is, NE3->NE4).

Parameter Planning
Server trails need to be created before you create an ODU1 trail. In the network provided in the
example, the server trails include OMS, OCh, and OTU1 trails. The OMS trail can be searched
out directly and need not be created manually. Therefore, you only need to create an OCh trail
(OCh-trail) before creating an ODU1 trail.
NOTE
l
Set the 52TOM card to the cascading mode and its port to the working mode of ODU0 tributaryline (Any->ODU0->ODU1->OTU1). You need to set 10(RX8/TX8) as a line-side port. In this
mode, you cannot search for OTU1 trails. You can search for an ODU1 trail only after
configuring the OTU1 cross-connections in the NE Explorer.
NOTE
In this scenario, port 10(RX8/TX8) is available only after its service mode is set to OTN Mode and its
port type is set to Line Side Color Optical Port.

trail can be searched out directly and need not be created manually. Since the U2000 supports
the cross-layer creation of trails, the Any service can be created on an OCh trail directly.
Therefore, you only need to create an OCh trail (OCh-trail) before creating an Any service.

2.2 Configuring Optical Layer Multipath Protection

The optical layer multipath protection can fully utilize the existing idle line resources of the
network. Through the optical cross-connections of the WSS boards, this protection offers
automatic and flexible selection of the protection paths in the protection switching.
2.2.1 Configuring Optical Layer Multipath Protection Automatically

automatically, including information on how to create, delete the protection and modify
parameters.

2.2.1 Configuring Optical Layer Multipath Protection

Automatically
automatically, including information on how to create, delete the protection and modify
parameters.
2.2.1.1 Configuration Principle
When configuring the optical layer multipath protection, you need to learn the following
principles to configure the protection properly.
2.2.1.2 Enabling the WSS Function on an NE
Before configuring the optical layer multipath protection, you need to enable the WSS function
on NEs that are used in this protection. In this manner, these NEs can gain information about
the topology networkwide through the discovery function for adjacent NEs. When a fiber cut
occurs in a path that carries services, the NEs can be on the rerouted path for the optical layer
multipath protection.
2.2.1.3 Creating a Working Cross-Connection for an NE
You need to create cross-connections on a per-NE basis, which ensures that the working path
that carries services passes the WSS boards.
After you set up fiber connections on NEs, the corresponding trail information cannot be found
at the network layer on the U2000. To implement the WDM trail management, you need to
establish the end-to-end WDM trails at the network layer on the U2000 by searching for the
cross-connections and fiber connections in the network.
2.2.1.5 Creating Optical Layer Multipath Protection Automatically
By using the function of creating the optical layer multipath protection for the OCh trail
automatically, the users need not learn the detailed route information about this protection. The
U2000 creates the optical cross-connections for the protection automatically in the WSS boards
according to the utilization of resources networkwide. Creating the optical layer multipath
protection automatically can simplify the configuration procedure and avoid incorrect
operations.
2.2.1.6 Modifying the Parameters of Optical Layer Multipath Protection
For the optical layer multipath protection that is created, you can query the working path and
modify the corresponding parameters on the U2000.

The common principles for the configuration of the optical layer multipath protection are as
follows:
2-120
Plan the wavelengths networkwide. Configure a unique wavelength for each service to
prevent wavelength conflict in switching.
Reserve wavelength resources for the protection when you plan the network.
Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

The WSD+WSM networking is recommended, so that no wavelength conflict occurs in

services.
The protection cannot be configured for the FOADM station and ROADM station of the
DWC network.
Configure the logical fiber connections that are consistent with the actual networking on
the U2000.
When a fiber cut occurs in the working path, NEs find a protection path through rerouting.
Meanwhile, the U2000 switches the services to the protection path. If a fiber cut occurs in
the protection path and the working path remains faulty, NEs will find another protection
path through rerouting again.
Create an OCh trail as the working path before creating the optical layer multipath
protection. It is recommended that you create the optical cross-connections on a per-NE
basis and form an OCh trail through the search function. If you create the optical crossconnections by trail, you need to plan the network first to ensure that the created trail passes
the WSS boards.
You need not create the protection cross-connections within the WSS boards. The crossconnections of the route can be viewed on NEs only when the protection switching
(rerouting) occurs.

Prerequisite
NOTE
In a network with the optical layer multipath protection, you can enable the WSS functions for a maximum of
50 NEs.
Procedure
Step 1 Click an NE in the NE Explorer. Choose Configuration > Enable WSS from the Function Tree.
Step 2 Click Query to query the information about the configured WSS from an NE.
Step 3 In the Enable WSS drop-down list, set the parameters on the U2000.
Step 4 Click Apply to issue the configuration.

Close.
----End

Prerequisite
The external and internal fiber connections of NEs must be established and the boundary ports
must be configured.
It must be applicable to the WSS boards.
When configuring the optical layer multipath protection, you need to adjust the optical power
attenuations of all stations on the working path by using the OptiX MDS 5600, so as to deliver
best-quality services. In the optical layer multipath protection, when a switching occurs, the
configurations for all boards on the working path are unchanged. Therefore, when the services
are switched back to the working path, the services can reach the best-quality state quickly.
Procedure
Step 1 In the NE Explorer, click an NE and choose Configuration > Optical Cross-Connection
Management from the Function Tree. Click the Board Optical Cross-Connection tab.
Step 2 Click New and the Create Optical Cross-Connection dialog box is displayed.

l
Before creating the optical layer multipath protection manually, you need to create the
common cross-connections for services on the NEs and protection cross-connections for
the protection by using the functions at the NE layer. Later, by using the function at the
network layer, the information about optical cross-connections on NEs is reflected at the
network layer through searching. That is, the protection path is arranged by the user before
the optical layer multipath protection is created manually.
When you create the protection cross-connections on NEs, each common cross-connection
can have only one corresponding protection cross-connection. That is, when you create
cross-connections for the same wavelength, only a common cross-connection and a
protection cross-connection can be created as the same-source and different-sink crossconnections. The same is true for the creation of the same-sink and different-source crossconnections.
Procedure
NOTE
l The Cross-Connect Type should be set to Protection Cross-Connection.

l When you create the working path manually, select Common Cross-Connection. When you create
the protection path for the optical layer multipath protection manually, select Protection CrossConnection. The Route Cross-Connection cannot be created manually on the U2000, Instead, the
route cross-connection is created automatically on the U2000 when a protection switching occurs. After
the protection switching is complete, the route cross-connection is cleared.

2.3 Configuring EAPE

By adjusting the optical power of a WDM trail, the EAPE can reduce or even eliminate bit errors
of services on the trail.
2.3.1 EAPE
The U2000 provides the enhanced automatic power pre-equilibrium (EAPE) function. The
EAPE adjustment can be enabled to ensure that the receive-end signal quality of each channel
meets the preset requirement and that the services are available.
2.3.2 Creating an OCh Trail
Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

2-137


2.3.3 Creating EAPE Objects
For a WDM service configured with the EAPE, the U2000 fine-tunes the optical power of the
transmit end according to signal quality detected by the receive end. This can improve the signal
quality.
2.3.4 Querying EAPE Objects
On the U2000, you can query the enhanced automatic power equalization (EAPE) objects that
are already created on the trail and enable or disable the EAPE adjustment.
2.3.5 Starting EAPE Adjustment
In the case of a WDM service configured with EAPE, when the OTU at the sink end detects the
signal degrade, an exceptional EAPE event is reported to and displayed on the U2000. This event
prompts the user to start EAPE adjustment so that the VOA at the source end finely tunes the
optical power at the transmit end. This can enhance the signal quality.
2.3.6 Deleting EAPE Objects
When the EAPE function on the trail is not required, you can manually delete the EAPE.
2.3.1 EAPE
The U2000 provides the enhanced automatic power pre-equilibrium (EAPE) function. The
EAPE adjustment can be enabled to ensure that the receive-end signal quality of each channel
meets the preset requirement and that the services are available.
Function Description
In practice of WDM system operation, the optical power flatness of each channel, compared
with that during deployment commissioning, greatly changes due to fiber condition variation.
As a result, the quality of received signals does not meet the requirement. In this case, EAPE
adjustment can be enabled to ensure that the receive-end signal quality of each channel meets
the preset requirement and that the services are available.
Function Implementation
The procedure to implement the EAPE function is as follows:
2-138
1.
During deployment commissioning, manually adjust the optical power of each channel to
obtain signal quality that meet the requirement. This ensures that each channel normally
operates.
2.
During system operation, the OTU at the receive end detects the signal quality of each
channel.
3.
When the OTU at the receive end detects an alarm, if the optical power of the OTU at the
receive end does not cross the threshold, adjust the optical power attenuation ratio of the
corresponding channel according to the actual situation. This ensures that the receive-end
signal quality of each channel meets the preset requirement and that the services are
available.

Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

Involved Boards
The service board and the SCC board are jointly used to achieve the EAPE function. This
function involves the following types of boards and ports:
l
OTU detection unit

Detects the receive-end signal quality of each channel and reports any EAPE unbalance
event detected.
The boards that support this function include the OTUs and line boards with the FEC
function.
Adjustment unit: It is the EAPE adjustment entity that adjusts the optical attenuation of
each channel. The boards that support this function include ROAM, WSM9, WSD9,
WSM5, WSD5, WSMD4, DWC, EDWC, V40, M40V, D40V, V48, VA2, VA1 and VA4.
Received signal selection unit

The system locates the point to be adjusted according to the current protection state of
the OLP or DCP board.
The boards that support this function include the OLP and DCP.
System control and communication unit

It is the system entity that carries out the EAPE function.
The boards that support this function include the SCC.
NOTE
For the EAPE function, EAPE protocol frames can be sent to each node as long as the physical
communication route is reachable. The EAPE protocol frames can be sent in modes such as the OSC and
ESC.
Networking Scenarios
The EAPE function can be applied in three typical scenarios.
EAPE application scenario 1 is with the basic configuration that only a trail with VOA unit
exists. Figure 2-56 shows the networking diagram of this application mode. The figure illustrates
only the unidirectional EAPE pair.
Figure 2-56 Scenario of the single VOA unit that takes the common OTU as the source
EAPE application scenario 2 is applicable to the dual fed and selective receiving OTU board.
Each of the two receive optical interfaces of the dual fed and selective receiving OTU has an
FEC module. Two trails with VOA units exist. Hence, in this networking mode, you need to
configure two EAPE pairs.Figure 2-57 shows the networking diagram of this application mode.
The figure illustrates only the unidirectional EAPE pair.
Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

2-139

Figure 2-57 Scenario of the dual VOA units that take the dual-fed and selective-receiving OTUs
as the sources
EAPE application scenario 3 is applicable to the 5 Gbit/s, 10 Gbit/s and 40 Gbit/s OTUs. In this
networking mode, the intra-board 1+1 protection needs to be configured. Only one EAPE pair
needs to be configured. When the sink OTU detects an anomaly, the system locates the VOA to
be adjusted according to the current services operating channel. Figure 2-58 shows the
networking diagram of this application mode. The figure considers the OLP board as an example
to illustrate only the unidirectional EAPE pair.
Figure 2-58 Scenario of the dual VOA units with the OLP protection units
Configuration Principle
The EAPE configuration principles are as follows:
2-140
When creating the EAPE, you must create the corresponding OCh trail firstly.
Based on the basic application scenario, you just need to specify the source OTU, sink OTU
and adjustment unit.
When the OTU is jointly used with the OLP or DCP board for networking, besides
specifying the source OTU and sink OTU, you also need to specify the OLP or DCP board
and the active and standby adjustment units. In this networking mode, the sink OLP or DCP
board and the sink OTU must be configured on one NE; the adjustment unit and the source
OTU must be configured on another NE.
The FEC type of the source and sink OTU must keep consistent. After EAPE is configured,
the FEC working mode of the OTU must not be changed; the FEC function of the OTU
must be enabled.
EAPE requires that the monitored path is a complete end-to-end wavelength without any
intermediate add or drop wavelength.
Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

An OCh trail with regenerating stations equals to two independent wavelengths and thus
need be configured with two EAPE pairs.
EAPE requires that the adjustment unit is configured in the transmit-end station and the
OTU detection unit is configured in the receive-end station.
An OCh trail with multiple sources and sinks does not support the EAPE function.
The uploading function is not supported, but the script importing and exporting function is
supported.
If the EAPE ID on the U2000 is inconsistent with that on the NE, you need to delete the
trail on the U2000 from the network layer, search for a new trail, and then query or create
EAPE objects. In this way, you can obtain the EAPE objects with consistent data between
the U2000 and the NE.
The adjustment board cannot be on the sink NE, and the selective receiving board cannot
be on the source NE.
The FEC mode of the source OTU and sink OTU should be the same.
2.3.2 Creating an OCh Trail

Prerequisite
l
The OMS server trail must be searched out.
Context
The U2000 supports the function of creating a third-party wavelength service. A third-party
wavelength service is the OCh trail whose source or sink port is located on the multiplexing and
demultiplexing card or the add/drop multiplexing card, or whose source and sink ports are located
on such cards.
The U2000 does not support the ability to reuse discrete cross-connections.
The source and sink of an OCh trail are the ports at the line side of the OTU boards. The boards
that the trail passes should support dynamic optical cross-connection or should contain static
optical cross-connection. The boards that support the dynamic optical cross-connection are
classified by equipment domain as follows:
l
For the OptiX BWS 1600G and the OptiX BWS 1600A: WSM9, WSD9, WSM5, WSD5
and RMU9.
For the OptiX Metro 6100V1E: WSM9, WSD9, RMU9, and WSMD4.
For the OptiX OSN 3800/6800/8800 I/8800 II and OptiX OSN 3800A/6800A/8800 I(NA)/
8800 II(NA): WSM9, WSD9, RMU9, ROAM, WSMD4, 11RDU9, 11WSMD2, 12WSM9,

transmit end according to signal quality detected by the receive end. This can improve the signal
quality.
Prerequisite
l
An OCh trail must be created or searched out.
To create an EAPE pair correctly, the OCh trail must meet the following:
l
The source and sink board must be the OTU boards.
The board with the VOA unit must be configured on the trail.
If the protection is configured on the trail, the selective receiving unit at the sink must be
the OLP or DCP. In addition, the board with the VOA unit need be configured on the
protection trail.
EAPE requires that the adjustment unit is configured on the transmit-end station and the
OTU detection unit is configured on the receive-end station.
Source and sink OTU boards cannot be installed on the same NE.
The working and protection adjustment units can be configured in different slots on the
same NE.
When the corresponding EAPE pairs exist on an OCh trail, you cannot modify or deactivate
the trail.
In the case of the OCh path with the electrical REG, the OCh path is equivalent to two
independent wavelengths. Thus, you need configure two EAPE pairs on the OCh path.
EAPE can monitor only the trails on a complete end-to-end wavelength. Thus, no
wavelength can be added or dropped along the trail.

mode for the 52TOM board.
2.6.1.4 Configuring the Working Mode of the LQM2 board
The default working mode of the LQM2 board is 2LQM Mode. When the working mode is
switched to AP8 Mode, you need to configure the board and add the IN2/OUT2 optical interface
according to this section.
2.6.1.5 Configuring the Working Modes of Ordinary OTUs
Before you use OTU boards such as the 11TOM, you need to configure the working modes of
the boards.
2.6.1.1 About the Working Modes

This section describes the board working mode and port working mode. A specific service signal
flow of a board is available when the board working mode and port working mode are set to
specific values.
Board Working mode

The U2000 supports four board working modes: NS1 Mode, TQM Mode, Cascading, and
Non-Cascading.
The 12LQMS board supports NS1 Mode and TQM Mode.
2-158

Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

In NS1 Mode, the 12LQMS board functions as a line board that performs the mutual
conversion between the ODUk electrical signals and the optical signals at a WDM systemcompliant standard wavelength.
In TQM Mode, the 12LQMS board functions as a tributary-line board that performs the
mutual conversion between the client-side signals and the optical signals at a WDM systemcompliant standard wavelength.
The 11TOM and 52TOM boards support the Cascading and Non-Cascading modes.
l
In Cascading mode, a maximum of eight multi-rate (< 2.5 Gbit/s) Any services can be
input to the 11TOM or 52TOM board through the client side, and then are multiplexed into
different timeslots of one or two ODU0 services or one ODU1 service.
In Non-Cascading mode, a maximum of eight multi-rate (< 2.5 Gbit/s) Any services can
be input to the 11TOM or 52TOM board through the SFP module on the client side, and
then are multiplexed into different timeslots of one to eight ODU0 services or one to four
ODU1 services.
NOTE
A specific service signal flow of the 52TOM board is available only when both the board working mode and
port working mode are set to specific values.
Port Working Mode

The 52TOM board should be set to the cascading or non-cascading mode. In addition, application
scenarios such as the ODU0 or ODU1 mapping mode and tributary or tributary-line mode of the
ports on the board should be set. As shown in Table 2-32, the 52TOM board supports 14 working
modes.

2.6.1.2 Configuration Rules of the 52TOM board

This section describes the rules for configuring the 52TOM board.
The rules for configuring the 52TOM board are as follows:
l
In non-cascading board working mode, the ports on the board can be set to different port
working modes.
The OptiX OSN 8800 series does not support distributed cross-connection.
In tributary-line mode, the ODU1 service does not support centralized cross-connection.
The 52TOM board can groom a maximum of six Any services through the backplane. In
the OptiX OSN 6800/3800, the 52TOM board can groom Any services on the opposite
board but cannot groom Any services throughout the full-mesh network. Particularly, in
the OptiX OSN 3800, inter-board ODU1 cross-connections between the 52TOM and
52NS2 boards, if required, should be configured in such a manner that the ClientLP3.1 port
on the 52TOM board is cross-connected to the ODU1LP1.3 port on the 52NS2 board, the
ClientLP5.1 port on the 52TOM board is cross-connected to the ODU1LP1.2 port on the
52NS2 board, and the rest may be deduced by analogy.
The OptiX OSN 6800/3800 cannot groom the ODU0 service and thus does not support the
following port working mode application scenarios:
Non-cascading ODU1 tributary mode application scenario 2 (OTU1->ODU1->ODU0)
Non-cascading ODU1 tributary mode application scenario 3 (OTU1->ODU1->Any>ODU0)
The OptiX OSN 8800 series does not support the following port working mode application
scenario:
Non-cascading ODU1 tributary mode application scenario 4 (OTU1->ODU1->Any>ODU0->ODU1)
2-160

Issue 02 (2010-09-24)

2.6.1.3 Configuring the Working Mode of the 52TOM Board

Before using the 52TOM board, you need to configure the board working mode and port working
mode for the 52TOM board.
Prerequisite
The 52TOM board must be created.
No cross-connection exists on the board when the board-level mode switching occurs on the
board.
No logical fiber exists on the optical interface when the board-level mode switching occurs on
the board.
Context
You can set the Cascading or Non-Cascading mode for the 11TOM and 52TOM boards.
l
When the Cascading mode is selected, a maximum of eight channels of Any services of
multiple rates (<2.5 Gbit/s) are accessed through the SFP module from the client side of
the board. Then, the multiple channels of client-side signals are multiplexed to different
timeslots of the one-channel or two-channel ODU0 or the one-channel ODU1.
When the Non-Cascading mode is selected, a maximum of eight channels of Any services
of multiple rates (<2.5 Gbit/s) are accessed through the SFP module from the client side of
the board. Then, the multiple channels of client-side signals are multiplexed to different
timeslots of the one-channel (maximumly eight-channel) ODU0 or the one-channel
(maximumly four-channel) ODU1.
NOTE
In the case of a 52TOM board, you need to set the cascading or non-cascading mode for the board, and the
application mode, such as the ODU0 mapping, ODU1 mapping, tributary mode, and tributary-line mode,
for each port. In this way, different signal flows can be realized. There are 14 types of working modes for
the 52TOM boards.
Procedure
Step 1 In the NE Explorer, select a 52TOM board, and choose Configuration > Working Mode from
the Function Tree.
Step 2 In the Board Working Mode pane, set Board Working Mode to Cascading or NonCascading.
