Chapter 1
Traditional SDH Service

Networking Configuration
This chapter describes the configuration flow of establishing a transmission

network with ZXONM E300. In addition, an example of SDH service
networking is included to describe the operation steps and methods.
Configuration Flow
The networking configuration with ZXONM E300 has two typical flows
according to whether the NEs are online or offline.
Note:
Online status indicates that the NE configuration commands are sent at real-
time to the NCP board, and then are forwarded to the corresponding board by NCP
board.
Offline status indicates that the NE configuration commands are only saved in
the EMS database and are not sent to the NCP board, since the NE is offline.
Networking flow of online NEs

The networking flow of online NEs is listed in Table 4.

Note: Some other configurations may need to be performed in the EMS

according to actual networking requirement and equipment type:
If the network needs MS protection, configure MS protection before configuring
timeslots.
If the network needs Ethernet or ATM service, configure them. For detailed
configuration, refer to Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.
If the equipment has special requirement for configuration, e.g. ZXMP S330
needs 1:N protection for boards, make corresponding configurations in EMS via
selecting Maintenance -> Diagnosis -> Setting 1:N Card Switching.
If EMS manages the transmission equipment by Data Communication Network
(DCN), the gateway NE can be employed to establish the communication
relationship between EMS and the managed equipment. For detailed operations,
refer to Configure Gateway NE in Chapter 5.

Chapter 1 - Traditional SDH Service Networking Configuration
Configuration Example
In this section, you will learn about the configuration of traditional SDH
services with a networking example for offline network elements.
Networking Configuration
Suppose there are six NEs: A, B, C, D, E and F. The network consisting of
them is illustrated in Figure 1.
FIGURE 1 NETWORKING DIAGR AM
Service requirements are listed as follows:
As the access network element and network head, NE A is accessed to

the EMS terminal (ZXONM E300), providing the clock for the whole
network.
Traffic assignments:
¾ Between NE A and NE B: eight STM-1 optical signal services
¾ Between NE A and NE C: eight STM-1 optical signal services
¾ Between NE A and NE D: eight STM-1 optical signal services
¾ Between NE E and NE F: fifty 2 M bidirectional services
Orderwire phone is needed among all the NEs;
NE A, B, C and D form a two-fiber bidirectional MS protection ring;
NE D and E form a four-fiber 1+1 MS protection link.

Networking Analysis and Service

Configuration
According to the network transmission rate presented above, determine
the type of transmission equipment as listed in Table 6.
TABLE 6 TYPE OF EQUIPMENT AND SERVICE BOARDS
NE Equipment Type
A, B, C, D ZXMP S390
E ZXMP S380
F ZXMP S360
Then determine the type and quantity of all boards in each NE according
to service requirements and the capacity of service boards.
Table 7, Table 8, and Table 9 respectively list the board configurations of

ZXMP S390, ZXMP S380, and ZXMP S360.

Chapter 2
Circuit Service Configuration
This chapter introduces the configuration flow of circuit services in ZXONM

E300. In addition, detailed operation steps and methods are described on
the basis of the networking example in Chapter 1.
Configuration Flow
With the circuit re-discovery function provided by the circuit service
management functional module, the timeslots configured manually can be
used to create circuits automatically. Users can also create circuits
themselves.
According to different creation processes, the circuit creation can be

divided into:
Creation of service layer circuits,

Creation of PDH unidirectional/bidirectional circuits,
Creation of broadcast circuits,
Creation of concatenation circuits, and
Creation of data services.

Service Layer Circuit

Definition
Service layer circuits are service-layer connections, which are the basis
to achieve PDH circuits and broadcast circuits.
Each service layer circuit can be allocated to multiple circuits.
¾ For the service layer circuit created in AU4 multiplexing mode with
the speed E1/E3/DS3/E4, the speed of the circuit is VC4.
¾ For the service layer circuit created in AU3 multiplexing mode with
the speed E1/E3/DS3, the speed of the circuit is VC3.
Creating procedure
Figure 31 describes the work flow of creating the service layer circuit.
FIGURE 31 CREATE THE SERVICE LAYER CIRCUIT

Chapter 2 - Circuit Service Configuration
PDH Circuit
Definition
PDH circuits refer to the unidirectional and bidirectional circuits with
the speed E1/E3/DS3/E4.
The VC4 or VC3 service layer path must be created before creating a
PDH circuit.
Creation procedure
Figure 32 describes the work flow of creating PDH circuit.

Broadcast Circuit
Definition
Broadcast circuits refer to point-to-multipoint unidirectional circuits
with the speed of E1/E3/DS3/E4.
A unidirectional service layer path with the speed of VC4 or VC3 must
be created before creating a broadcast circuit.
Creation procedure
1. Create trunk circuit for the broadcast circuit group

2. Add tributaries to the broadcast circuit group
FIGURE 34 ADD TRIBUTARIES
Note: The unidirectional service-layer circuit of the broadcast tributary

circuit and the service-layer circuit of the trunk circuit have the same originating
ends and different terminating ends. Therefore, you only need to determine the
terminating ends of them when determining the ends’ information.

Concatenation Circuit
Definition
ZXONM E300 supports unidirectional circuits and bidirectional
concatenation circuits at the rate of VC4-4C, VC4-8C, VC4-16C, VC4-
64C, and VC4-nC (2 ≤ n ≤ 64).
Creation procedure

Data Service Circuit

Definition
Data service circuits refer to Ethernet service circuits. You may
implement service configuration at the system side by creating
Ethernet service circuits when ZXMP S320, ZXMP S330, ZXMP S360,
ZXMP S380 and ZXMP S390 need to transmit Ethernet services.
Creation procedure
Figure 36 described the work flow of creating the data service circuit.

Chapter 3
Ethernet Service
Configuration
This chapter introduces the configuration flow of ZXONM E300 for the
transmission of Ethernet services through SDH equipment. In addition, the
detailed configuration procedures of VLAN services are described based on
a network example composed of ZXMP S320 equipment with SFE4 boards.
Configuration of Ethernet Service

Transparent Transmission
The transparent transmission of Ethernet service is performed by the
transparent transmission Ethernet boards. These boards provide paths for
point-to-point transparent transmission, and bind user ports with VCG
(EOS) ports (i.e. system ports) in a one-to-one way. Data frames are only
forwarded between the user port and the VCG port bound together.
The equipment and boards that support transparent transmission of

Ethernet service are described in Table 29.

TFE board of ZXMP S200 is responsible for managing the Ethernet function
of physical board SMB and the Ethernet plug-in boards. The physical board
SMB can process 8 Ethernet services which can be performed by 4x10/100
M transparent transmission Ethernet electrical ports on the SMB board and
another 4 Ethernet ports on SEC board, TFEX4 board or TFEX4B board.
Among these boards,
SEC provides 4x10/100 M Ethernet electrical ports (layer 2 switching

supported). TFEx4 provides 4 10/100 M transparent transmission Ethernet
electrical ports. TFEx4B provides 4 100 M transparent transmission
Ethernet optical ports.
TFEx4 and TFEx4B are set in the slot of subrack (slot No. is 11 on EMS).
However, it is no necessary to configure the board on the EMS manually
because the EMS can set the “TFE INTERFACE” board in slot 11
automatically based on the version of software and hardware of TFE.

Chapter 3 - Ethernet Service Configuration
If ZXMP S200 is equipped with SEC, the version of software and hardware
of ZXMP S200 is set as 0330. Moreover, SEC board needs to be added on
the EMS. Detailed configuration information refers to SE Boards in Chapter

The user ports of SFE series boards are 10/100 M Ethernet interfaces, and
those of SGE series boards are 1000 M Ethernet optical interfaces. Except
the SFE board of ZXMP S330, “B” in the board ID indicates that the user
ports are optical; otherwise, the user ports are electrical.
The user ports of SFE board in ZXMP S330 and ZXMP S325 support both
10/100 M Ethernet optical interfaces and 10/100 M Ethernet electrical
interfaces. In EMS, these two kinds of Ethernet interfaces are identified by
the software and hardware version, where “0310” represents for SFE
electrical interface board, and “1310” represents for SFE optical interface
board.
The system ports of SFE/SGE series boards adopt the TU12 virtual
concatenation. Each system port has the minimum granularity of 2 M and
the maximum granularity of 100 M.
Currently, SFE/SGE series boards go out of production

Note:
The processing board of SECx48/SECx24 and the interface board of
ESFEx8/OIS1x8 work together to implement the SEC board of ZXMP S385. The
processing board in inserted in the service functional board area of subrack, while
the interface board is inserted in the service functional interface board area of
subrack.
The board name in EMS refers to the board button name of SEC board in the
Card Management dialog box. The version refers to the software/hardware
version selected in the Card Property dialog box when adding the SEC board.
For ZXMP S200, SEC board transparently transmits/receives the services
to/from the 5-8 VCG (EOS) ports of TFE board via the internal Ethernet ports of
SEC board to achieve layer 2 switch.

normally, and the board will process the received
message with MSTP protocol;
MSTP If configured as “Disable”, The board will throw away the
Protocol received message with MSTP protocol;
If configured as “Relay”, the board will directly transfer
the received message with MSTP protocol to all of the
port, which indicates that the MSTP message will not be
restrained by VLAN, so pay more attentions to the
“Relay” mode in the engineering.

Use the default value for parameters not described in this table.
4. Configure user ports and VCG (EOS) ports
In the client operation window, select an NE equipped with the SE
board. Click the menu item Device Config -> Ethernet
Management -> Ethernet adapter manager. Enable the user ports
and VCG (EOS) ports, and configure their properties. The configuration
includes the following steps.
i. Configure port properties
Enable and configure user ports and VCG (EOS) ports on the
PortProperty page of Ethernet adapter manager dialog box.
The configuration flowchart of user ports is shown in Figure 46, and
that of system ports is shown in Figure 47. The parameters and
configuration principles are listed in Table 42. For ZXMP S200, it is
necessary to enable and configure user ports and internal Ethernet
ports.
Note: 1-4 internal Ethernet ports of SE board are corresponding to 5-8 VCG
(EOS) ports of TFE board, therefore, the 1-4 internal Ethernet ports and 5-8 VCG
(EOS) ports should be configured. The configurations of VCG (EOS) ports refer to
Configuring TFE Board. The configurations of 1-4 internal Ethernet ports of SE
board are consistent with those of TFE board. The operations of internal Ethernet
ports are similar with those of VCG (EOS) ports.
For ZXMP S200, SE board does not provide VCG (EOS) configuration.

The RSEB-EOS board employs the EOS technology to transport traffic.
It equals to the SFE/SGE/SE board and only provides one kind of
system ports: VCG (EOS) ports.
As for hardware, the Ethernet port of RSEB board supports 1000M
Ethernet optical interface, 100 M Ethernet optical interface or 10/100 M
Ethernet electrical interface. In the EMS, these two kinds of Ethernet
interfaces are identified by software/hardware version:

5. Configure services
i. Select a node and the menu item Device Config -> Ethernet
Management -> RPR Ethernet Service Attribute, to set the

attribute of RPR service for the VLAN classified in step 3 in the pop-
up dialog box.
The RPR traffic is classified into three types depending on the QoS:
type A, B, and C, with priorities of A>B>C.
¾ Type A
Auxiliary parameters: Max BW and Reserved BW, where BW
refers to bandwidth.
The traffic of type A shares the reserved bandwidth in RPR ring.
Even in case of idleness, this bandwidth cannot be occupied by
traffic of other types. If type A traffic exceeds the upper limit of the
bandwidth, all of them will be discarded. It is not controlled by the
fairness algorithm, and has invariable rates. The delay and jitter
effect on them is the smallest.
It is applicable to analog Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) traffic.
¾ Type B
Auxiliary parameters: Max BW and Min BW, where BW refers to
bandwidth.
Type B traffic is classified into B-type CIR traffic and B-type EIR
traffic.
The B-type CIR traffic occupies guaranteed bandwidth and are not
controlled by the fairness algorithm. When the bandwidth is idle, it
can be occupied by other traffic.
The B-type EIR traffic occupies bandwidth between the limited
bandwidth and the guaranteed bandwidth, which can be shared
with other nodes, and it is controlled by the fairness algorithm.
It is applicable to traffic which is insensitive to delay but requires
bandwidth guarantee. For example, some data traffic with high
requirement can occupy more bandwidth when there is idle
bandwidth.
¾ Type C
Auxiliary parameters: Max BW, where BW refers to bandwidth.
The traffic of type C is processed in an attempt, which has no
bandwidth guarantee and is controlled by the fairness algorithm.
When the traffic exceeds the bandwidth limit, it will be discarded
completely. It has a large delay and jitter.
It is applicable to data services with lower requirements.
Note: One VLAN can only have one traffic type, and different VLANs can
have identical traffic type.
ii. Select a node in the RPR ring and the menu item Device Config ->
SDH Management -> Service Config.

In the Service Config dialog box, establish the connection

between the SPAN port of the RSEA board and the optical line
board according to the timeslot cross-connect configuration method.
The two SPAN ports should be connected to two optical line boards
respectively.
Note:
The VC4 paths occupied by two RPR SPAN ports should respectively connect
with two optical line boards.
If the rate of RPR ring network is 622 Mbit/s, i.e. the rate of path group at RPR
SPAN port is 622 Mbit/s, the AU4 path of the abutting optical line board should be
configured with AU4-4C real concatenation.
6. Configure the optical line boards for the passed-by node

In the client operation window, select a passed-by site and click the
menu item Device Config -> SDH Management -> Service Config.
In the Service Config dialog box, establish the pass-through
connection for the passed-by optical line board.
Note: If the rate of path group at RPR SPAN port is 622 Mbit/s, the AU4
paths of the passed-by optical line boards should be configured with AU4-4C real
concatenation.
Configuring RSEB-RPR Board

When the RPR technology is adopted to transmit the Ethernet service, the
user ports and VCG (EOS) ports are all located at the user side.
Generally, the user port accesses Ethernet traffic directly, and the VCG
(EOS) port serves for connection with the system port of smart Ethernet
series boards (SFE/SGE). After L2 layer switching, the traffic pass through
the RPR system port to enter the RPR ring network.
The RSEB-RPR board provides RPR port, VCG (RPR SPAN) port, user port,
and VCG (EOS) port. The configuration procedure is described below:
1. Install boards for an NE

Double-click an NE icon in the client operation window to enter the
Card Management dialog box. Install the RSEB-RPR board, necessary
functional boards, and optical line boards for adding/dropping Ethernet
traffic.

Caution: When installing RSEB-RPR board, the software/hardware version

cannot be modified in the Card property dialog box unless the Presetting has
been selected. Therefore, make sure to check the Presetting check box. The
RSEB-RPR electrical interface board of version 0310 is installed by default.

Advanced dialog box. Refer to Table 41 for parameter descriptions.
4. Configure the VCG (EOS) ports and the user ports
i. In the Card Management dialog box, right-click the RSEB-RPR
board to pop up the shortcut menu. Click the Ethernet adaptor
manager menu item.
ii. On the PortProperty page of the Ethernet adaptor manager
dialog box, set the attributes for ports according to the flowchart
shown in Figure 46 and Figure 47.
Note:
The types and quantities of VCG (EOS) ports and of user ports are determined
by the board type.
In the EMS, the last two user ports of RSEB-RPR board are 1000 M optical
interfaces, and the others are 10/100 M electrical interfaces.
5. Configure the VLAN mark

On the VLAN Mark page of the Ethernet adaptor manager dialog
box, set the VLAN mark according to the flowchart shown in Figure 48.
6. Set capacities for the system ports

board to pop up the shortcut menu. Click the VCG port capacity
config menu item.
ii. Set the capacities for the VCG (RPR SPAN) ports and the VCG (EOS)
ports according to the flowchart shown in Figure 49.
Note:

The VCG at the VCG (EOS) port adopts the VC12 virtual concatenation, and the
maximum total bandwidth is determined by the equipment type. Generally, the
LCAS function is enabled.
The VCG at the VCG (RPR SPAN) port adopts the VC3 or VC4 virtual
concatenation, and the maximum total bandwidth is determined by the equipment
type. The bandwidths of two VCG (RPR SPAN) ports must be identical. Generally,
the LCAS function is disabled.
VCG (RPR SPAN) ports and VCG (EOS) ports share the bandwidth at the
system side.
Generally, the default package type of GFP and the default delay time of 0 ms are
adopted.
7. Configure the VLAN and STP

Follow the configuration flowchart shown in Figure 50 to configure the
VLAN and STP.
Note:
The VLAN configuration is mandatory, which involves user ports, VCG (EOS)
ports, and RPR ports. Among which, the VLAN ID of a user port or VCG (EOS) port
must be consistent with the port’s Pvid set in the Ethernet adaptor manager dialog

iii. Set the Port-Ring Select Mode, which supports automatic
selection, manual selection, and forced selection.
¾ Automatic selection
The RPR traffic selects the shortest path of the port ring for
transmission automatically. The shortest path is determined by the
hopping number of the site looping from ring 0 (SPAN 1) and ring 1
(SPAN 2) to each site in the ring network.
¾ Manual or forced selection
Sets the RPR traffic to run on ring 0 (SPAN 1) or ring 1 (SPAN 2)
forcedly.
Generally, the manual selection mode is applied to the traffic of
type C which has no requirement for the guarantee bandwidth, so
as to obtain the maximum network bandwidth.

Note: When steering protection occurs in the RPR ring network, manual
selection is disabled automatically to avoid traffic interruption.
iv. Set the MAC address of a static destination site

By default, the RSEB board learns RPR address and MAC address
automatically.
Note: With the static MAC address adopted, RPR traffic can only be
transmitted among the designated MAC addresses in the RPR ring network without
RPR exchange. It is usually applicable to the point-to-point traffic.
i. Select the NE and click the menu item Device Config -> SDH
Management -> Service Config.
ii. In the Service Config dialog box, use the timeslot cross-connect
configuration method to establish connections between the RSEB-
RPR board and the optical line board, or between the RSEB-RPR
board and the SFE/SGE/SE board.
Note:
VCG (RPR SPAN) port 1 of a RSEB board must be connected to VCG (RPR SPAN)
port 2 of another RSEB board, and vice versa.
The VCG (RPR SPAN) ports must be connected correctly. Otherwise, the traffic
shall be blocked and the alarm of fiber connection error will be raised.
The VCG (EOS) port of RSEB board is usually connected with the system port
of SFE/SGE/SE board.

Configuring MPLS Ethernet

Service
[Introduction]
MPLS Ethernet processing board is employed in access layer or

convergence layer of Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). The Ethernet
message is processed via the flow method. The board supports multi
switch method including MPLS, VLAN, etc., meanwhile, provides virtual
bridge function and guarantees the quality of point to point service. Hence,
it is one of the important boards to construct virtual private line (VPL) and
virtual private network (VPN). The SE boards are listed in Table 51.

MSE board divides into MSEA and MSEB. MSEA supports Ethernet
Virtual Private LAN (EVPLAN) but MSEB does not support EVPLAN. In
EMS, select software/hardware version to differentiate MSE and FE
interface types whose configurations are similar.
User port can be configured as user Ethernet port or MPLS Ethernet
port via EMS. User Ethernet port of this board, which is same with
those of other boards, is used to access Ethernet service; MPLS
Ethernet port is used to access Ethernet service carrying with MPLS
label.

VCG port can be configured as VCG (EOS) port or VCG (GFP MPLS)
port. VCG (EOS) port, which is same with those of other boards, is
used to connect with SDH side; VCG (GFP MPLS) port is used to
connect with the Ethernet service carrying with MPLS label. The service
path is VCG path, and the message format is GFP+MPLS label+ Normal
Ethernet Message.
MPLS Ethernet processing board accesses or converges the distributed
service to the trunk network or backbone network, then classifies the
service by flow, identifies the object address, controls the speed,
schedules and shapes the service. Following, transports the service by
Ethernet port or by the SONET/SDH ports after encapsulated via
GFP/HDLC/X.86 protocol.
MSEA board supports EVPLAN, Ethernet Private Line (EPL) and Ethernet
Virtual Private Line (EVPL). MSEB board supports EPL and EVPL.
Hereinafter, MSE represents MSEA and MSEB.
Configuring EPL Service

EPL is a point to point service which transparently transports Ethernet
service from point to point, does not perform layer 2 switch and self-study
MAC address. EPL service of each user is carried via private SDH path,
which indicates the user occupies the bandwidth of its SDH path alone.
EPL service is configured on MSE board by configuring the two ports of

MSE board in pair; therefore, the service is transparently transported
between the two ports.
[Steps]
1. Installing the board
Double-click the NE icon in the client operation window to open the

Card Management dialog box. Then, install necessary functional
boards, optical line board and MSE board which can add/drop Ethernet
traffic.
Note:
The software/hardware version cannot be modified in the Card property
dialog box unless the Presetting has been selected. Therefore, make sure to
check the Presetting check box.
The version of software/hardware should be consistent; the corresponding
relations with the actual board are listed in Table 51.
2. Configure the property
Right-click the MSE board in the Card Management dialog box, and

Configuring EVPL Service

EVPL is a point to point service. The difference from EPL is that different
users can share the link bandwidth. MSE board adopts MPLS L2 VPN to
achieve the EVPL service which means to establish a simulative service
between different MSE boards in one VPN. Each MSE board which is also
called Virtual Forwarded Instance (VFI) is a node in the VPN. The VFI does
not support L2 switch and self-study MAC address, that is, the Ethernet
service enters into the Label Switched Path (LSP) directly.

[Result]
If the command is sent successfully, misconnection during protection

switching for the MSP ring will be prevented.
Setting APS Byte

[Purpose]
The Automatic Protection Switching (APS) byte serves for transmitting the
MSP switching information. Only when the APS byte is transmitted
correctly, can the multiplex section protection switching work normally.

The value of APS byte can range from 0 to 3, and the default value is 0.
An NE can be included in multiple MSP groups, when it has been

configured into a logical subnet.
The ZXONM E300 supports the setting of APS byte in the unit of port, thus
guaranteeing normal working of each MSP group.
The principles to set the APS byte are described as follows.
The APS byte of two ports physically connected in the same MS ring
must be the same, to guarantee correct transmission of APS byte
between two nodes.
If one port belongs to different MSP groups, the APS byte of each MSP
group must be unique.
ZXMP S320 and ZXMP S360 do not support the setting of APS byte,
and their default APS byte is 0. Therefore, the APS byte must be set to
zero for the optical ports connected with the ZXMP S320 or ZXMP S360
equipment.
[Applicable NEs]
Take the MSP ring 1 consisting of NE A, B, C, and D in the network

presented in Chapter 1 as an example.
[Steps]
1. Configure the two-fiber bidirectional MSP ring

Create a MSP group and configure the MS protection relation according
to the description in the section of Configuration of Two-fiber
Bidirectional MSP Ring in Chapter 1.
2. In the MS Protection dialog box, check the APS byte of the abutting
port at the neighbor NE, as shown in Figure 84;

FIGURE 84 MS PROTECTION DIALOG BOX
3. Select the Config radio button in the Operation Mode area;

4. Modify the APS byte of the local port to be same as the value displayed
in Neighbor Ne Aps Byte;
5. Click the Apply button to save the APS value;
6. Repeat step 1 to step 7 to set and save the APS byte for the NE B, C,
and D in the MSP group respectively.
[Result]
Check if all the NEs can work normally.
Configuring DCC
[Purpose]
The data communication channel (DCC) carries the communication data

between NEs, including the regenerator section DCC bytes (DCCr) and the
multiplex section DCC byte (DCCm).
Table 72 lists the DCC use configuration supported by NEs of different

types.

Through configuring the DCC use and changing the DCC byte of the port,
the following functions can be provided:
The communication rate of NEs will be improved with the DCC

configuration of DCCr + DCCm.
As long as the DCC byte of the abutting optical interfaces keeps the
same, any line port can use DCCr or DCCm to carry the communication
data separately.
When the DCC is not used for optical interfaces, non-communication
data can be transmitted through the pass-through connection between
DCCr and DCCm among different ports with the overhead cross-
connect function of the EMS.
The DCC byte can be configured separately and differently in the
receiving direction and the transmitting direction.
Caution:
The DCC must be configured as DCCr for the optical card used for regeneration.
If the DCC is used to transmit communication data, the DCC setting must be
the same for the abutting optical interfaces to guarantee the communication data
transmission.
[Applicable NEs]
The applicable NEs areZXMP S380, ZXMP S390, ZXMP S330, ZXMP S325,
[Steps]
1. Select an applicable NE in the topology.

2. Select the menu item Device Config -> SDH Management -> DCC
Use Set to enter the DCC Use Set dialog box.
Tip: You can also enter the DCC Use Set dialog box in the following way:
Double-click an applicable NE in the topology to pop up the Card Management
dialog box. And then right-click an optical card to be modified, and select the DCC
Use Set menu item in the shortcut menu to pop up the DCC Use Set dialog box.

3. In the Resource list box of the dialog box, select a card. Then click
the button and change it to the button. The right side of the
dialog box will display all the ports and DCC configuration information
of the card.
4. Select the DCC use byte of the local port in the dialog box according to
the DCC use of the abutting optical interface, as shown in Figure 85.
FIGURE 85 DCC USE SET DIALOG BOX
¾ The Advanced check box is valid only for ZXMP S330, ZXMP S385,
ZXMP S200 and ZXMP S325 equipment. With Advance check box
selected, the DCC byte in the receiving and sending direction of the
optical interface can be set separately, including DCCr, DCCm,
DCCr + DCCm, and Not use DCC.
¾ With General check box selected, the DCC byte in the receiving
direction and sending direction of the optical interface will be set at
the same time, including Use extended DCC and Not use extend
DCC.
¾ For ET1 board for ZXMP S200, set whether the 2 M tributary port 5-
port 8 support ECC mode or not. The ECC mode includes Not
Supported, Optical ECC and Electrical ECC, among which, the
electrical ECC means transferring the ECC information by 2 M cable
directly, the optical ECC means transferring the ECC information by
multiplexing the 2 M tributary signal with ECC information into the
timeslot of optical line board (i.e. sending the ECC information by
optical line board).
5. Click the Apply button to save the DCC configuration.
Note:
For the board to be used as REG board, the ECC mode must be DCCr.
If the data is transferred by DCC path, the DCC of docking ports must be set in
same mode in order to gurantee the smoothly communication.

[Result]
After setting the DCC use, check if the EMS message can be transferred
normally when transmitting communication data via DCC.
Configuring Static Route

[Purpose]
The static route between the managed equipment and the EMS should be
established when the EMS manages the equipment through the Data
Communications Network (DCN).
For example:
In Figure 86, IP addresses of NE5-NE8 are in 192.193.16.0 (subnet mask

is 255.255.255.0), IP addresses of NE9-NE12 are in 192.193.10.0 (subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0).
To enable ZXONM E300 to manage NE5 to NE12, the static route must be
configured between NE5 and NE9.

Check if the EMS can manage NE5 to NE12 normally.
Configuring Gateway NE
[Purpose]
EMS can communicate with the managed NEs by gateway NE when the
transmission equipment is managed by Data Communication Network
(DCN).
Gateway NE, which is connected with EMS or DCN, forwards the

information among other NEs and EMS. Master and slave gateway NEs can
be set by EMS in order to avoid communication interruption once the
master gateway NE was abnormally.
Gateway NE can isolate the IP address of transmission equipment and the

address of DCC network in order to save the resource of user’s IP address
and router.
For example:
In Figure 89, the transmission network is composed of NE1-NE12 which

are connected to EMS via DCN network. NE6 and NE9 are connected to
DCN directly.

Suppose DCN has two network segments which are 10.168.35.0 (mask is
255.255.255.0) and 10.168.36.0 (mask is 255.255.255.0). The IP
addresses of EMS are 10.168.35.10 and 10.168.36.11, and the IP
addresses of NE6 and NE9 are 10.168.35.9 and 10.168.36.9 separately.
The IP addresses of other NEs are 192.*.*.*.
In order to enable the EMS managing all of the NEs, NE6 and NE9 should
be configured as gateway NEs; meanwhile, NE6 or NE9 can also be set as
the gateway NE for each other to enhance the reliability of communication.
[Applicable NEs]
The NEs, which can be set as gateway NEs, are ZXMP S385, ZXMP S390,
ZXMP S330, ZXMP S200, ZXMP S325 and ZXMP S200.

Chapter 7
Performance Management
This chapter describes the operation method and process for performance
configuration and performance query in ZXONM E300.
Performance Configuration
Setting Digital Performance Threshold
[Purpose]
Digital performance refers to parameters that reflect the transmission and

traffic quality, such as channels, interfaces. In the operation of the
equipment, the digital performance is detected by the MCU of cards, which
also performs statistics on the performance values. The performance
statistical period can be 15 minutes or 24 hours.
In ZXONM E300, each performance threshold has a default value, which is

downloaded to the NCP card of the NE while the system downloads the
database at the first time.
The 15 minutes or 24 hours performance threshold of the performance

items can be modified and then downloaded to the NCP with commands.
[Applicable NEs]
All the SDH NEs
Take NE D in the networking instance in Chapter 1 as an example.
[Steps]

Figure 119.
FIGURE 119 PERFORM ANCE THRESHOLD DIALOG BOX
[Result]
When the MCU of NE D detects the 15 minutes performance value of UAS

is greater than or equals to 1000, the NE D will report the UAS over
threshold alarm.
Setting Analog Performance Threshold

[Purpose]
The analog performance refers to parameters that embody the working

conditions of physical components or circuits, such as the receiving and
transmitting optical power of a laser. Generally, there is an higher
threshold and a lower threshold for each analog parameter.
As the quantity of analog parameters can not be accumulated during a

period, the difference between the analog value and reference is taken as
the criterion to judge whether it is normal.
The thresholds of analog performance items of a specific card can be

modified through the analog performance threshold command.
[Applicable NEs]
S385, and ZXMP S200 NEs that are online and can communicate with the
EMS normally

Chapter 8
Maintenance Operations
This chapter introduces maintenance operations of SDH NEs.
Note: Attention please! Any misoperation of maintenance may cause service

interruption or equipment malfunction. Please Read this chapter carefully before
performing maintenance operations.
Setting Loopback
[Purpose]
Through the loopback of an optical channel or tributary, the traffic is

transmitted from the transmitting port and received at the receiving port
of the NE. In the case of separating the communication links, the loopback
can be used to confirm the fault point of NEs and detect the working
status of nodes and transmission lines in the network.
Note: The loopback operation may result in traffic interruption, therefore be

careful while performing the loopback operation.
The operation principle of loopback is that keep the influences on traffic as little as
possible. For example, if a fault can be located through a tributary unit loopback,
the AU loopback should be avoided.
Loopback type
The loopback is divided into line loopback and terminal loopback
depending on the flow direction of signals between transmitting and
receiving ports.
¾ The loopback from an optical line card to an optical port of it is the
line loopback, while the loopback in the opposite direction is the
terminal loopback.

¾ The loopback from an electrical tributary card to an electrical

tributary port of it is the terminal loopback, while the loopback in
the opposite direction is the line loopback, as shown in Figure 128.

otherwise it will impact traffic.
Setting Protection Switching

[Purpose]
For an NE configured with MSP ring, SNCP or RPR protection, execute the
protection switching command to force it to deliver the protection switch
command. It is applicable to all SDH NEs. However the ZXMP S100 can
only conduct the subnet connection protection switching.
Switching commands
¾ Lock: Forbid any access to the protection section/channel.
¾ Force Switch: Unless another switch instruction of equal or higher
priority is active, the system will switch to the working/protection
section (or channel), no matter whether the section/channel is
faulty or not.
¾ Manual Switch: Unless another switch instruction of equal or
higher priority is active or the switching section/channel fails, the
system will switch to the working/protection section (or channel) as
required.
¾ Exercise: Only process the APS protocol without influencing the
normal running of network.
Only such MSP switching composed by ZXMP S390, ZXMP S380,
ZXMP S385, ZXMP S330, ZXMP S325, or ZXMP S200 supports the
switching exercise command.
Switching command priority (higher to lower)
Lock > Force Switch > Manual Switch > Exercise
[Applicable NEs]
It is applicable to all the SDH NEs. Note that for ZXMP S380, ZXMP S390,
ZXMP S330, ZXMP S385 and ZXMP S325, MSP, SNCP and RPR switching
can be performed. For ZXMP S360 and ZXMP S320, MSP and SNCP are
performed. For ZXMP S100, only SNCP is performed.

[Steps]

Setting APS Operation of MSP

[Purpose]
Check, configure the APS ID by APS operation of MSP.The APS ID is the

unique ID of an NE in the MSP ring network.
Table 88 lists the meaning of APS operations supported by the ZXONM

E300.
T A B L E 8 8 M E A N I N G S O F AP S P A R A M E T E R S
Parameter Meaning
In the case that the APS protocol is working properly, the MP
APS start protection ring is working in APS state.
When the MSP group is configured, the APS should be started.
The APS protocol stops working and keeps the data before stopping.
For instance, if MSP switching happens at a site, the original MSP
APS stop
switching operation will be kept after the APS stops, and the new
data will not be processed.
The APS data is cleared completely and the NE data is initialized.
APS reset After reset, the working status of system recovers. The system waits
for new data, and performs automatic protection switching.

[Applicable NEs]
All the SDH NEs
[Steps]
Refer to the ASP operation described in the section of Configuring Two-

fiber Bidirectional MSP in Chapter 1 for the detailed information about the
operations of querying and configuring the APS.
Note: The APS operation is only applicable to the MSP ring and the APS
command set on each NE in a protection group must be identical.
After the APS is reset successfully, the APS ID should be restarted.
Resetting Cards
[Purpose]
The resetting of chips or application programs of cards is divided into the

hardware reset and software reset. It is applicable to online NEs in normal
Hardware reset: resets all chips in a card by the cable from NCP board
to other boards.
Software reset: resets application programs in a card by s interface.
For ZXMP S380 and ZXMP S390, software reset of CPU level is
supported. For ZXMP S330, ZXMP S385 and ZXMP S325, the software
reset is classified into CPU level and IC level reset. The software
resetting supported by other types of NEs has no levels like this.
Danger:
The purpose of resetting is to recover the normal working of the card. Therefore,
never perform the reset operation unless it is confirmed that the card function is
affected by the processor fault.
The software resetting is abnormally under the condition of abnormal S interface,
only hardware resetting is available.
