Overview of functions
Introduction
The UCST R8 provides a unified procedure for cross connections, which applies to all FOX NEs.
Since the equipment have different architectures, the capacity of the cross connect depends on the type of the NE and the control unit implemented. For information on the system capacity and the implementation of units (especially for
units with respect to slots), refer to the FOX Technical Description FOX515
Technical Description and FOX User Guide.
Please note:
The FOX allows unlimited cross connections between data signals
with and without CAS.
The timeslot 16 is separately cross connected!
The bus access capability and available cross connect capacity
depends on the selected COBU<X> control unit and control unit
template.
The terms "Input" and "Output" in the TDM cross connection dialogues describe
the access points/interfaces of the signals and facilitate the implementation of
unidirectional and protected cross connections for data signals.
The configuration created with the UCST is a local image of a possible NE configuration accessible via corresponding dialogues of the
EM. To apply cross connections in the NE you have to
establish an appropriate management communication channel
between the UCST and the NE.
start a full or partial download of the configuration to the NE.
You can download the configuration data as one final download for the completely configured NE or in steps. A download in steps allows you a better control of the interactions between the NE and the environment during configuration. It is possible to debug each problem coming up one by one.

TDM traffic signals and cross connections

Traffic signals and cross
connections
The FOX allows you to cross connect TDM traffic signals as follows:
Cross connections via PBUS:
1/1 and 1/0
for 2 Mbit/s and n x 64 kbit/s traffic signals (with and without CAS)
Cross connections via UBUS:
1/0
for n x 64 kbit/s traffic signals (with and without CAS)
All cross connections for the UBUS are established via the PBUS access of
the control unit.
Cross connections via SBUS:
VC-3 and VC-12
Through connections (STM-4/1 to STM-4/1) for VC-3 and VC-12
Add and Drop for VC-3, VC-12 and the corresponding 34 Mbit/s, 2 Mbit/s
and n x 64 kbit/s traffic signals (with and without CAS)
Cross connections on traffic units:
SYN4E:
VC-4, VC-3 and VC-12
Through connections (STM-4/1 to STM-4/1) for VC-4, VC-3 and VC-12
Add and Drop for VC-3 and VC-12
For more information on the architecture and the FOX cross connect, refer to
FOX515 Technical Description.
The configuration of cross connections for traffic signals is straightforward with
the FOX. The switch fabric is not directly visible. The configuration of cross connections relies on
Traffic signals (signal rates)
Inputs and outputs (traffic interfaces of units and subunits)
Connection parameters
Direction of signal flow (bi-directional, unidirectional)
Protection (protected connection)
To cross connect traffic signals you have to select the corresponding signal rate
and specify the connection parameters. Then you can cross connect the traffic
signal between the Input and Output(s). The Inputs and Output(s) represent the
signal structure in accordance with the selected traffic signal rate. The UCST
automatically creates the required connection points for the SBUS, PBUS and
the UBUS or on the traffic unit.
Due to some particularities of the UBUS, this automatic method does not always create optimal connection points and optimal use of the UBUS capacity
for all types of UBUS traffic. To bypass possible limitations the UCST provides
the UBUS expert mode.
1KHW002001
page 8 of 57
ABB
UBUS expert mode
The UBUS expert mode allows experienced users to control the connection
points on the UBUS. The architectures of the SBUS and PBUS always allow a
fully automatic process.
Thoughtless use of the UBUS expert mode will create problems rather
than optimise the UBUS usage!
To use the UBUS expert mode you have to fully understand the UBUS
architecture, the principles of the UBUS access and cross connection
on the UBUS.
For information on system capacity and the implementation of units (especially
for UBUS units) in the subrack and their UBUS access, refer to FOX515 Technical Description.
The FOX allows you unlimited cross connections between data signals with and without CAS.
The timeslot 16 is always cross connected separately!
For details on the dialogues for (protected) cross connections and BUS usage,
refer to the corresponding paragraphs in this document.
BUS usage
You can investigate the BUS usage via the menu
NE Configuration Bus Usage.
The dialogue provides a tab for the UBUS and the PBUS. Bus Usage is not applicable for the SBUS.
For details, refer to the corresponding paragraphs in this document.
Compatibility with other FOX

The FOX processing of the traffic signals is compatible with the processing of
the FOX- U/E and-U with the exceptions as described below.
Signalling mode TS + 1
With the FOX- U/E and -U, it is possible to transport the signalling information for
traffic data in the TS next to the traffic data signal (= TS+1) instead of the TS 16.
The GECOD and SIFOX units provide this signalling mode.
The cross connect of the CENCA unit provides the corresponding allocation of
the signalling information from/to the unit on the internal signalling highways
to/from the TS of the data highways.
It is not possible to terminate or cross connect traffic signals TS+1
(= TS for the signalling) on the FOX. The FOX does not support the
TS+1 signalling type.

Create TDM cross connections
The UCST R8 provides a partially-automatic process to create the cross connections. The process is identical for all types of units and traffic signals and is
independent of the type of the access system.
You specify the connection points (connection points means now the access
points of the traffic signals), the UCST establishes all internal connections
automatically. The process normally only shows the connection points available
for cross connection.
From the menu
NE Configuration Cross Connections
press
[Create TDM ]

The cross connect handling on the SYN4E traffic unit is explained in
detail in the SYN4E user guide.
The UCST provides two special functions for cross connections:
Through X Connections
This function instructs the UCST to connect a number of matching connection points in a way typically used in drop and insert applications.
UBUS Expert Mode
The UCST automatically allocates the internal bus resources. For connection points with UBUS units involved, you have the opportunity to select the
UBUS Expert Mode. This mode allows experienced FOX experts to override
the automatic allocation of the connection points on the UBUS.
Uncontrolled manual allocation of bus capacity can drastically reduce
the capacity available and lead to malfunction. The automatic process
provides an optimum use of the bus capacity in most cases and
avoids malfunction.
1KHW002001
page 14 of 57
ABB
The use of the UBUS Expert Mode is explicitly restricted to experienced FOX experts!
The UBUS expert has to fully understand the UBUS structure, the access of the units to the UBUS bus and the internal allocation principles.

1KHW002001
Through X connections
The Through X Connections creates connections, where two bundles of identical number and traffic signals layers are cross connected systematically between corresponding numbers of connection points. The connection points at
the input and output must be continuous.
Through X Connections are typically possible for traffic signals
VC-4, VC-3 and VC-12 in the SDH environment
A prerequisite for the use of this function is of course that the connection points
presented in the Input and Output have such correspondence.
To create Through X Connections proceed as instructed above but do not select connection points in the Output window.

UBUS Expert Modes

Cross connections
The UCST automatically allocates the internal bus resources. For connection
points with UBUS units involved, you have the opportunity to select the UBUS
Expert Mode. This mode allows experienced FOX experts to override the automatic allocation of the internal buses and timeslots.
The UBUS Expert Mode is useful if the remaining capacity on the UBUS becomes critical with respect to the traffic to connect or for special applications
and units.
The automatic mode can only create new connection points with the knowledge
of the existing connections points. The UBUS Expert Mode allows you to plan
the allocation of the connection points with the knowledge of all cross connections required. This allows you to avoid future problems on the UBUS highways in advance.
Uncontrolled manual allocation of bus capacity can drastically reduce
the capacity available and lead to malfunction. The automatic process
provides an optimum use of the bus capacity in most cases and
avoids malfunction.
The use of the UBUS Expert Mode is explicitly restricted to experienced FOX experts!
The UBUS expert has to fully understand the UBUS structure, the access of the units to the UBUS bus and the internal allocation principles (information provided in FOX515 Technical Description).
To enter the UBUS expert mode, you prepare the creation of your connections
as usual with the selection of matching connection points of the Input and Output.

Press
[Create]
Select only a small number of connection points for cross connection

and only if you are sure about the creation of the cross connections.
The UCST does not allow you to quit the creation process unless all
the selected cross connections are established!
The new cross connection can use connection points on the UBUS as follows:
Both connection points use the UBUS
Only the first or the second connection point use the UBUS
Depending on the UBUS usage when you start up the UBUS Expert Mode, the
automatic procedure adapts the dialogues provided. If the unit connections are
already set for a particular unit then the automatic procedure skips the corresponding dialogues.
Please note that unused UBUS connection points can interfere with a
new configuration, if released UBUS connection points have not been
cleared!
To clear released connection points of units without tributary interfaces, you must
delete the unit from the configuration
disable the corresponding subunit
delete the UBUS connection point via the NE Configuration
UBUS Connection Points menu
Assuming that no connection points for the units have been set on the UBUS so
far, the UBUS Expert Mode pops up with dialogues as shown below.
Figure 2-13:
ABB

UBUS Expert Mode (Create first point of first X)
page 25 of 57
1KHW002001
The dialogue allows you to select individually the connection points for P0 (64
kbit/s) traffic signals to time slots and UBUS highways available. The big window shows graphically all the highways and the corresponding time slots and
monitors the connection points. The UCST represents the free time slots of the
highways with "=" and the configured with "+".
The UCST reduces the representation of the highways that are not configurable
with the selected NE, e.g. the even numbered (signalling) highways for the FOX
515/512. For more information on the presentation, refer to the paragraphs on
Bus Usage below.
The part New Connection Point of the dialogue indicates at the top the selected
(e.g. input) connection point and provides fields for information and functions as
follows:
Unit
shaded grey
The field displays the unit name and

corresponding slot number.
Subunit
shaded grey
The field displays the subunit name

and "user label".
Channel
shaded grey
The field displays the channel number

(if applicable).
Highway
context sensitive
The field allows you to select a highway from the highways available and
which the unit hardware is able to access (in the selected slot). For information on the UBUS structure of each
NE and the access of units to the
UBUS highways, refer to FOX515
Technical Description.
Timeslot
context sensitive
The field allows you to select time

slots in the selected highway. The
UCST does not allow any "wild" configuration but imposes its rules if applicable. In this case (typically for aggregate IF), you cannot select the
time slot.
CAS
context sensitive
The field allows you to define whether

the connection is set with or without
signalling. If signalling is set it is connected as follows:
- FOX 515/512:
- CAS Off
- Highway +1
- FOX- U/E and -U:
- CAS Off
- Highway +1
- Timeslot +1
The selection is only possible if the
selected NE and the corresponding
traffic interface allow such options.
This dialogue pops up for each of the connection points to be created on the
UBUS. If only one of the 2 connection points of a cross connection uses the
UBUS, the dialogue pops up only for this connection point. The other connection point (on the PBUS) is set automatically.
1KHW002001
page 26 of 57
ABB
Select
<Highway>
from the Highways field (here for

MEGIF in slot 10: 7, 5, 3, 1).
You cannot select the TS, since the
MEGIF unit is an aggregate unit. The
UCST sets the first connection point
automatically to the TS selected for
the first cross connection (here TS
11).
Press
<CAS>
from the CAS field (here CAS OFF,

Highway +1)
[Ok]
to create the connection point (here

the first connection point on highway
7).
The dialogue pops up again if the cross connection requires a second connection point on the UBUS.
The dialogue monitors the connection point on the highway with a "+" (here TS
1 on highway 7 and the TS1 on the signalling highway 8) and creates a list containing the parameters of the connection points. This time the list has only one
column for the first connection point with a corresponding entry for highway 7.

You cannot set the CAS mode since
the SUBLA is configured with CAS.
(The FOX- U/E and -U additionally allows the CAS mode Timeslot +1).
Press
[Ok]
to create the connection point (here

cross connection.
The UCST automatically pops up with the updated dialogue (first connection
point of the SUBLA) for the first connection point (here on MEGIF) of the second traffic signal:
Figure 2-15:

for units with aggregate interfaces (e.g. MEGIF, TUNO<X> etc.)
the
UCST releases the connection points on the UBUS with the removal of the corresponding cross connections.
For the specification of units with aggregate interfaces refer to
FOX515 Technical Description):

The operation only removes the connections of the affected unit.
The second connection point of the cross connection might still exist!
For the specification of units with tributary interfaces refer to
FOX515 Technical Description):
The User 0 identifies connection points on the UBUS without (active) cross connection.
If there are new cross connections for interfaces with already existing connection points, the UCST uses the already set connection

UBUS connection points
Outside the Cross Connection dialogues the UCST R8 provides the UBUS
Connection Points menu which allows the FOX expert to prepare new and clear
unused UBUS connection points for the cross connection.
This functionality is only available for UBUS units with tributary interfaces (e.g.
EXLA<X>, SUBLA<X>, SIFOX, UNIDA etc.). Units with aggregate interfaces
are not supported (it does not make sense).
You access the UBUS connection points dialogue via the menu NE Configuration Bus Usage.

Protected connections
Basics
The FOX and its units provide various mechanisms and schemes for traffic protection:
SNC protection (SubNetwork Connection protection)
LTP (Linear Trail Protection)
MSP (Multiplex Section Protection)
1+1 Path protection for selected UBUS units
Section protection (physical section for selected units)
The above protection types are not generally available in the FOX. The availability depends on the traffic unit and the processed traffic signal layer.
The standard (ETSI EN 300 417-1-1 V1.2.1) provides traffic models for the different protection schemes which define the applicable layers and termination
points.
The chapter "Protection of Traffic Signals" in FOX Network Functions User
Guide provides a detailed description of the FOX protection mechanisms and
the supported protection types.
Most of these protection types require commissioning on the cross connect
level. Here, the UCST R8 supports the configuration of protected cross connections in a uniform way (e.g. the traffic signals for UBUS units with 1+1 protection
are cross connected as any other protected cross connection). The table below
gives an overview of the commissioning levels that are affected by the different
protection types.

ABB
page 37 of 57
1KHW002001
Figure 2-26:
SNC (Sub-network Connection) protection with FOX

(PBUS access based)
SNC protection between 2 FOXs requires (according to the standards) "Consistency of the Server Layer"!
Such consistency is only possible for transparent network connections
(i.e. transparent for 2 Mbit/s traffic signals).
At the network side ("Input") the protection creates a second interface for the
backup trail section. The FOX cross connect connects both Input interfaces to
the same Output, which carries the protected traffic signal.
The traffic signals between "Inputs" and "Output" can be unidirectional or bidirectional. For bi-directional connections, the Output broadcasts its traffic signal permanently to both "Inputs" while the "Output" selects the incoming traffic
signal between the signal outputs of the 2 Inputs according to the defined
switching criteria provided by the server layer.
The PBUS access of the "Output" selects the active input:
In the case of a failure or if the quality of the selected input signal decreases,
the "Output" automatically selects the signal from the alternate input if the
signal is available.
If the formerly failed input signal becomes available again while the now selected input signal continues to perform, the path will switch back to the previously selected input signal; thus, the protection switch is revertive.
The switching mode (revertive, non-revertive) depends on protection type and
unit. The FOX provides maintenance functions which allow the monitoring of the
protection switch status and forced switching of protected P12x/P12s, VC-4,
VC-3 and VC-12 traffic.
The FOX 515/512 and legacy FOX- U/E and -U have different implementations of the cross connect. Hence, the criteria for the input selection and the possibilities for the monitoring of the protection status
are not equivalent.

ABB
For more details of the FOX protection mechanisms and supported protection
types, refer to the chapter "Protection of Traffic Signals" in FOX Network Functions User Guide.
Creation of protected connections
The creation of protected connections as described below applies for the FOX
515/512 and FOX- U/E and -U.
Please note, that SNC protection or LTP in the FOX 515/512 is supported as follows (availability of protection and protection type depend
on the selected unit and traffic signal layer!):
With PBUS and some SBUS units.
Between PBUS/SBUS and UBUS units with the PBUS/SBUS unit
at the network side ("Input").
Not possible between UBUS units.

HW
is the generic number of the UBUS

highway. The UCST reduces the representation of the highways not configurable with the selected NE, e.g.
the even numbered (signalling) highways for the FOX 515/512.
For information on the UBUS structure of each NE and the access of
units to the UBUS highways, refer to
FOX515 Technical Description.
Timeslots [1 31] Usage
corresponds to the 31 timeslots of the

and/or "+". The UCST represents
- free TSs with "="
- configured TSs with "+".
Connection Point <k>
specifies the parameters of the connection point <k> on the highway. The
UCST adds columns to the list as required up to the maximum of 31 columns for the 31 TS on each highway.
For each connection point, the UCST provides in the Connection Point <k> column a sequence of parameters (e.g. for the connection point 2 of the highway
7: MEGIF <9> Traffic-1 T12 1 user) as follows:
ABB
<Unit Name>
Short name of the unit.
<Slot Number>
Number of the slot in the subrack

where the unit is configured.
<Subunit Name>
The UCST name of the subunit.
<"user label">
Optional "User label" assigned the

SbU in the Unit Configuration dialogue.
<Number of the Time Slot>
Number of the time slot in the framed

signal. The number <k> of the connection point is not necessarily identical with the number of the TS on the
highway.
<Number of Users>
Number of users (cross connections)

that share the connection point. Multiple users are possible for point-tomulti-point unidirectional cross connections. The standard value (bidirectional connections) is 1 user.

The dialogue allows you to control the usage of the PBUS capacity and to calculate the remaining capacity on the PBUS.
The monitoring of the assignment on the PBUS becomes important if the remaining capacity on the PBUS becomes critical with respect to new traffic units
to connect.
Figure 3-3:

Tab PBUS
The dialogue shows graphically all physical PBUS lines and monitors the bus
access and usage. The dialogue provides information as follows:
Line
is the generic number of the PBUS

line. One PBUS line represents a capacity of 4 x 2 Mbit/s (plus the corresponding signalling). The number of
available PBUS lines depends on the
control unit:
- COBUQ : 8
- COBUL:
32
- COBUX:
32 or 10
- COBUV:
32 or 10
For information on the PBUS structure
and the access of units to the PBUS,
ABB
page 55 of 57
1KHW002001
Bus Usage
refer to FOX515 Technical Description.

Unit
specifies the unit and the slot number

of the unit (<X>).
PHA
(PBUS Highway Access) specifies the

locally (unit level) active 2 Mbit/s accesses to the PBUS. The access is
always a set of 4 x 2 Mbit/s. The sets
are identified per unit as follows:
1 ... 4, 5 8, 9 12, etc..
For information on the PBUS structure
and the access of units to the PBUS,
refer to FOX515 Technical Description.
Line Access
specifies the number of traffic signals

that the corresponding PBUS access
connects.
Special Info(rmation)s
provides additional information on the

local PBUS access.
Please note that:

Only units with active cross connections appear in this list.
The Line Access is a counter, which is incremented each time the
corresponding PBUS access connects a new traffic signal. The
count corresponds to the lines in the Cross Connections dialogue.
The count is independent of the capacity of the connected traffic
signal:
- 1 for a 64 kbit/s traffic signal
- 1 for a 30 x 64 kbit/s traffic signal
Examples:
- SYNAC <5> (1 4):
32 = 2 x (30 x 64 kbit/s) + 30 x 64 kbit/s
LOMIF <8> (1 4):
31 = 1 x (30 x 64 kbit/s) + 30 x 64 kbit/s
LOMIF <8> (5 8):
1 = 1 x (30 x 64 kbit/s)
You can use this information to identify line accesses with few active traffic signal connections to free the corresponding PBUS line
for other traffic units.
The figure PHAU (PBUS Highway Access per Unit) provided with
each PBUS and some of the SBUS units give the maximum number of PHA configurable for the corresponding unit. The PHAU
value is always a multiple of four.
