 The link trace (LT) test, which is used to locate the faulty point.
 The loopback (LB) test, which is used for a bidirectional continuity check.
 The continuity check (CC), which is used for a unidirectional continuity check.
 OAM_Ping test, which is used to test the packet loss ratio and latency in service.
The IEEE 802.3ah ETH-OAM function is realized through the following methods:
 Automatic OAM Discovery, which is used to obtain the capability for the opposite end to
support the IEEE 802.3ah OAM protocol.
 Link performance monitoring, which is used to monitor the bit error performance of the

 Loop shutdown, which is used to block a self-loop port and rectify a port loop.
2.13 Simulation Package Loading and Simulation Package

Diffusion
The OptiX OSN equipment provides the functions of simulation package loading and
simulation package diffusion.
Simulation Package Loading

When you need to upload the whole set of the software to an NE, and the mapping between
the board and software is defined according to the format of the simulation software package,
you can use the simulation software package to improve the loading efficiency and upgrade
security, and reduce the operation complexity.
The simulation software package includes:
 All the necessary software to be loaded to the NE
 Package description document that specifies the loading attributes of each software
The simulation software package loading has the following features:
 The user loads the software on an NE basis and through a uniform operation interface.
 The status of the NE does not affect the loading.
 A version rollback is supported for an upgrade failure.
Simulation Package Diffusion

When you use the simulation package simulation method, the simulation software package is
diffused and loaded to all NEs on a network. The diffusion protocol running on the NEs
ensures that the loading process is almost synchronous. As a result, package loading is more
efficient and less manual operations are required.
Simulation package diffusion has the following features:
 Level-by-level package diffusion and synchronous package loading on multiple NEs
 Load sharing
 Balanced utilization of network bandwidths
2.14 Hot Patch

The OptiX OSN 3500 supports the hot patch technology.

Copyright © Huawei
System
Some equipment requires long-term uninterrupted operation. When a defect is located or a

new requirement needs to be applied to the equipment software, a process of replacing old
codes with new codes should be performed to rectify the defect or realize the new
requirement, without any service interruption. These new codes are referred to as a hot patch.
The hot patch technology has the following features:
 The hot patch solves most of the software problems without affecting services.
 The hot patch effectively decreases the number of software versions and prevents
frequent software version upgrade.
 The hot patch operation does not affect services and can be performed remotely. The hot
patch also provides a rollback function. This helps to avoid upgrade risks.
 The hot patch can be used as an effective method for locating faults, and thus improves
the efficiency of solving problems.
2.15 Inter-Board Alarm Suppression

The OptiX OSN 3500 supports the suppression of tributary/data board alarms that are raised
as a result of the alarms on the line board.
When there are cross-connections between a line board and a tributary/data board, many
alarms are raised on the tributary/data board if alarms are raised on the line board. These
alarms are all reported to the T2000. Such a large number of alarms can disturb the
troubleshooting and affect the problem solution efficiency. Therefore, the inter-board alarm
suppression function is used to solve this problem.
2.16 PRBS Function

The OptiX OSN 3500 supports the pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) test function.
The PRBS function is mainly used for network self-test and maintenance. An NE that
provides the PRBS function can work as a simple device used to analyze if a service path is
faulty. Such analysis can be performed for the NE and the entire network. During deployment
or troubleshooting, the PRBS function realizes the test without a real test device.
2.17 NSF Function

The non-interrupted service forwarding (NSF) function is supported by the Ethernet boards.
With the NSF function, services are not interrupted during an upgrade of the board software
and network processor (NP) software.

A.1 Numerics
1+1 protection An architecture that has one normal traffic signal, one working
SNC/trail, one protection SNC/trail and a permanent bridge. At the
source end, the normal traffic signal is permanently bridged to both
the working and protection SNC/trail. At the sink end, the normal
traffic signal is selected from the better of the two SNCs/trails. Due to
the permanent bridging, the 1+1 architecture does not allow an extra
unprotected traffic signal to be provided.
100BASE-T IEEE 802.3 Physical Layer specification for a 100 Mb/s CSMA/CD
local area network.
100BASE-TX IEEE 802.3 Physical Layer specification for a 100 Mb/s CSMA/CD
local area network over two pairs of Category 5 unshielded twisted-
pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) wire.
10BASE-T Defined in IEEE 802.3, it is an Ethernet specification that uses the
twist pair with the maximum length of 100 meters at 10 Mbit/s for
each network segment.
1:N protection A 1:N protection architecture has N normal service signals, N
working SNCs/trails and one protection SNC/trail. It may have one
extra service signal.
1PPS Pulse per second, which, strictly speaking, is not a time
synchronization signal. This is because 1PPS provides only the
"gauge" corresponding to the UTC second, but does not provide the
information about the day, month, or year. Therefore, 1PPS is used as
the reference for frequency synchronization. On certain occasions,
1PPS can also be used on other interfaces for high precision timing.
3R Reshaping, Retiming, Regenerating.

ABR Available Bit Rate
AC Alternating Current
ACAP The Adjacent Channel Alternate Polarization (ACAP) operation
provides orthogonal polarizations between two adjacent
communication channels.
Active/Standby If there are two cross-connect boards on the SDH equipment, which
switching of are in hot back-up relation of each other, the operation reliability is
cross-connect improved. When both the cross-connect boards are in position, the
board one inserted first is in the working status. Unplug the active board, the
standby one will run in the working status automatically. When the
active cross-connect board fails in self-test, the board is pulled out,
the board power supply fails or the board hardware operation fails,
the standby cross-connect board can automatically take the place of
the active one.

AIS Alarm Indication Signal
Alarm A means of alerting the operator that specified abnormal condition
exists.
Alarm automatic When an alarm is generated on the device side, the alarm is reported
report to the N2000. Then, an alarm panel prompts and the user can view the
details of the alarm.
alarm cable The cable for generation of visual or audio alarms.
alarm filtering The alarms are reported to the N2000 BMS, which decides whether to
display and save the alarms according to the filtering states of the
alarms. The filtered alarms are not displayed and saved on the N2000
BMS, but still monitored.
alarm indication On the cabinet of an NE, there are four indicators in different colors
indicating the current status of the NE. When the green indicator is
on, it indicates that the NE is powered on. When the red indicator is
on, it indicates that a critical alarm is generated. When the orange
indicator is on, it indicates that a major alarm is generated. When the
yellow indicator is on, it indicates that a minor alarm is generated.
The ALM alarm indicator on the front panel of a board indicates the
current status of the board. (Metro)
Alarm indication A code sent downstream in a digital network as an indication that an
signal upstream failure has been detected. It is associated with multiple
transport layers.
Alarm inversion For the port that has already been configured but has no service, this
function can be used to avoid generating relevant alarm information,
thus preventing alarm interference. The alarm report condition of the
NE port is related to the alarm inverse mode (not inverse, automatic
recovery and manual recovery) setting of the NE and the alarm
inversion status (Enable and Disable) setting of the port. When the
alarm inversion mode of NE is set to no inversion, alarms of the port

Copyright © Huawei
System
will be reported as usual no matter whatever the inversion status of

the port is. When the alarm inversion mode of the NE is set to
automatic recovery, and the alarm inversion state of the port is set to
Enabled, then the alarm of the port will be suppressed. The alarm
inversion status of the port will automatically recover to "not inverse"
after the alarm ends. For the port that has already been configured but
not actually loaded with services, this function can be used to avoid
generating relevant alarm information, thus preventing alarm
interference. When the alarm inverse mode of the NE is set as "not
automatic recovery", if the alarm inversion status of the port is set as
Enable, the alarm of the port will be reported.
Alarm Masking Alarms are detected and reported to the N2000 UMS, and whether the
alarm information is displayed and stored is decided by the function
of alarm masking. These alarms masked are not displayed and stored
on the N2000 UMS.
Alarm Severity Alarm severity is used to identify the impact of a fault on services.
According to ITU-T recommendations, the alarm is classified into
four severities: Critical, Major, Minor, Warning.
Alarm When alarms of various levels occur at the same time, certain lower-
suppression level alarms are suppressed by higher-level alarms, and thus will not
be reported.

BIP BIP-X code is defined as a method of error monitoring. With even
parity an X-bit code is generated by the transmitting equipment over a
specified portion of the signal in such a manner that the first bit of the
code provides even parity over the first bit of all X-bit sequences in
the covered portion of the signal, the second bit provides even parity
over the second bit of all X-bit sequences within the specified portion,
etc. Even parity is generated by setting the BIP-X bits so that there is
an even number of 1s in each monitored partition of the signal. A
monitored partition comprises all bits which are in the same bit
position within the X-bit sequences in the covered portion of the

uniqueness of an NE. The same IP addresses may exist in different
TCP/IP networks. An NE may have multiple IP addresses, for
example, one IP address of the network and one IP address of the
Ethernet port.

Multi-service It is based on the SDH platform, capable of accessing, processing and
transmission transmitting TDM services, ATM services, and Ethernet services, and
platform providing unified management of these services.
Multicast A process of transmitting packets of data from one source to many
destinations. The destination address of the multicast packet uses
Class D address, that is, the IP address ranges from 224.0.0.0 to
239.255.255.255. Each multicast address represents a multicast group
rather than a host.
Multiple The MSTP can be used in a loop network. Using an algorithm, the
spanning tree MSTP blocks redundant paths so that the loop network can be
protocol trimmed as a tree network. In this case, the proliferation and endless
cycling of packets is avoided in the loop network. The protocol that
introduces the mapping between VLANs and multiple spanning trees.
This solves the problem that data cannot be normally forwarded in a
VLAN because in STP/RSTP, only one spanning tree corresponds to
all the VLANs.
Multiplex Section The overhead that comprises rows 5 to 9 of the SOH of the STM-N
Overhead signal. See SOH definition.
multiplex section A function, which is performed to provide capability for switching a
protection signal between and including two multiplex section termination
(MST) functions, from a "working" to a "protection" channel.
Multiplexing A procedure by which multiple lower order path layer signals are
adapted into a higher order path or the multiple higher order path
layer signals are adapted into a multiplex section.
