Totally reliable
Building on the success of the S/DMS TransportNode OC-192/TN-64X,
which accounts for greater than 90% of the survivable 10-Gbit/s systems in the
world, Nortel Networks is also creating optical layer protection and restoration
methods for increasingly fast data connections. OPTera Long Haul 1600
Wavelength Translators (Release 1.2 and 1.5) deliver point-to-point
connectivity for services at 2.5 Gbit/s and 10 Gbit/s. The OPTera Long Haul
1600 Wavelength Combiner (Release 2) provides a multi-service aggregation
capability at 10 Gbit/s. OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release 1.2, 1.5, and 2 also
augment service evolution to optical switching. Optical protection switching
and restoration will be part of future releases of the OPTera Long Haul 1600
product portfolio.
Completely flexible
The modular design approach of the OPTera Long Haul 1600 platform ensures
maximum flexibility in the face of ever-changing service requirements. A
complete portfolio of on ramps is available with OPTera Long Haul 1600 to
provide the appropriate level of service granularity (up to 10 Gbit/s) and
protection (from best effort to mission-critical data). The modular and scalable
OPTera Long Haul 1600 optical amplifiers, deployable on the OPTera Long
Haul 1600 platform, will allow cost-effective deployment of a single channel
system to be grown to 160 wavelengths providing 1.6 Tbit/s of capacity on
each fiber. Finally, because geographic traffic patterns can change over time,
wavelengths can be accessed through optical ADMs that provide access at
intermediate offices throughout the network.
Extremely affordable
Nortel Networks long-haul leadership is built upon the simple tenet of
delivering the lowest cost for each managed bit. The OPTera Long Haul 1600
portfolio continues this tradition with innovations such as the Wavelength
Combiner that provides open channel access to the DWDM layer while
providing network-level efficiencies through aggregation of multiple bit
streams onto a single 10-Gbit/s wavelength.

Introduction 1-5
is driven by a view of a transport network where the data and optical layers are
seamlessly integrated to create a single managed network for both integrated
and open platform architectures.
Nortel Networks optical applications portfolio provides solutions for
high-capacity networks using DWDM coupler and transmitter technology
coupled with multiwavelength optical amplifiers. Currently, a maximum of
32 wavelengths at 2.5 Gbit/s and 10 Gbit/s are available, with additional
wavelengths being planned. This offering makes transport capacities of a
maximum of 320 Gbit/s for each fiber (bidirectional) possible. Nortel
Networks has also led optical layer management features such as analog
maintenance, power optimizer, and a built-in reflection monitoring tool to
ensure the effective deployment and maintenance of the optical layer.
Integrated network management (INM) of the data and optical layers provide
additional efficiencies in the operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of a
Nortel Networks high-capacity solution.
For operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P)
features, additional out-of-band optical signals are reserved to provide one or
more optical service channels (OSC). The channels provide remote access to
optical amplifier sites. The OSC signals are coupled onto the fiber with
traffic-carrying channels but are detected and processed at the MOR/MOR
Plus line amplifier sites.
Nortel Networks provides both an integrated product solution for SONET,
SDH and optical layer applications and an open platform where signals from
a variety of sources and protocols can be multiplexed in the DWDM backbone
system. Components used in these systems can include the following:
S/DMS TransportNode OC-48 and OC-192 hardware
Wavelength Translators for open architecture
MOR Plus amplifiers
DWDM couplers
dispersion compensating modules (DCMs)
Nortel Networks supplies all of these components.
Deploying a DWDM system entirely with Nortel Networks components gives
the advantage of an end-to-end system performance guarantee for any optical
layer application. Although high-level specifications are provided for Nortel
Networks components such as DWDM couplers or DCMs, the use of these
guidelines is not recommended for purchasing equivalent equipment from
other vendors. Nortel Networks ensures compliance to strict specification
requirements at all levels of its manufacturing process (including
subcontractors). The result is a fully compliant component that ensures a
minimum baseline for end-of-life (EOL) performance.
Repeater Network Application Guide NTY311AX Rel 1.2 and 1.5 Issue 5
1-6 Introduction
MOR Plus amplifiers, which are an evolution of the MOR amplifier, can
amplify a maximum of 32 optical channels. The MOR Plus amplifier is the
baseline amplifier for 100 GHz-32 applications, and provides a mid-stage
access (MSA) functionality where components such as dispersion
compensating modules (DCMs) or optical add/drop (OADM) couplers can
be inserted, improving deployment flexibility.
The losses associated with these couplers do not limit the optical reach of
the link. It is possible to have the following:
more than one sandwich site for each optical link with no impact
on link budgets
increased dynamic range at the preamplifier (Pre) site
a per-band access (PBA) architecture that improves the reach on
NZ-DSF and DSF fiber types.
DWDM couplers
DWDM couplers multiplex and demultiplex optical channels into and out
of a single fiber. These couplers consist of passive filters that are packaged
as stand-alone optical components, with one port for each DWDM channel
and a common port that connects to the fiber plant. Monitoring taps,
variable optical attenuators for received power adjustment, and expansion
ports for upgrades can also be included.

Introduction 1-9
1-10 Introduction
These choices and the OPTera Long Haul 1600 management toolset permits
end user control of leased facilities with no compromise in network
management by the service provider.
OPTera Long Haul 1600 Wavelength Translator and Combiner offers leased
wavelength services from 2.5 Gbit/s to 10 Gbit/s, with future capacities from
622 Mbit/s: the most comprehensive service range available. Moreover, these
wavelengths can be combined with wavelengths carrying protected services in
a mix-and-match manner over a single-line infrastructure, simplifying the
network design dramatically by eliminating any need for pre-planning based
on anticipated service mix. This forecast-tolerant design even extends to
geographic flexibility. The OADM enables individual wavelengths to be
routed based upon end user demands as they arise, not by any pre-planned
network topology.
Fundamental to wavelength leasing is the ability to offer transparent access
across the service provider domain, providing a seamless logical network to
the end user. The Nortel Networks solution offers much more than this baseline
functionality. Nortel Networks also provides a definable logical network view
to the end user through Integrated Network Management (INM). Using INM
and the full suite of optical management tools resident upon the OPTera Long
Haul 1600, the service provider can provide open channel access at
guaranteed, measurable, and reportable performance levels.
In addition to the innovative OPTera Long Haul 1600 optical toolset that
permits per-wavelength power and signal monitoring and control, Nortel
Networks provides the ability to selectively determine the treatment of
overhead bytes as they cross the system. A key benefit of this flexibility is
realized with wavelength leasing by allowing the service provider to pass
overhead bytes through the network untouched. The wavelength translator
feature maintains transparency, while still monitoring overhead byte status to
quickly identify troubles with the network.
Premium quality IP service offerings
As the service mix transported by fiber-optic networks becomes increasingly
data-centric, carriers must explore new solutions to optimize their networks for
IP-based services.
The OPTera Long Haul 1600 platform offers two important advantages toward
this end in that:
It allows IP data traffic to be placed directly on fiber backbones without
costly and unnecessary SONET/SDH multiplexing.
It provides major service quality features that can transform traditional
data transport applications to full carrier-grade service offerings.
OPTera Long Haul 1600 NTY311AX Rel 1.2 and 1.5 Issue 5
Introduction 1-11
The increased native data traffic in turn creates demand for superior network
reliability and performance. The Nortel Networks OPTera portfolio offers a
suite of solutions to meet these customer requirements.
OPTera Long Haul 1600 is designed to accommodate all the functions of the
optical layer in an open architecture platform, providing end-to-end data
networking over the whole line at various tributary rates without
compromising the reliability and performance of mission-critical data and
voice transport services.
With the OPTera Long Haul 1600 Wavelength Translators, Nortel Networks
extends the capacity advantages and fiber savings of DWDM technology to
open environments consisting of a variety of network elements from multiple
equipment vendors. The Wavelength Translators support inputs from IP/ATM
or SONET/SDH equipment and convert them into ITU-compliant DWDM
wavelengths to enable transmission through the optical network.
Nortel Networks OPTera Long Haul 1600 is the future of high-capacity,
long-haul transport. With industry-leading capacity service flexibility, OPTera
Long Haul 1600 offers future-proof solutions for the global high-capacity
transport challenges of the 21st century.

Introduction 1-15
Revenue growth
With easy expendability and powerful optical layer tools for fast service
turn-up, OPTera Long Haul 1600 helps carriers maximize revenue growth
from new service offerings.
High-quality service
Built-in forward error correction (FEC) on SONET/SDH regenerators (soon to
be offered on Wavelength Translators) permits virtually error-free
transmission (guaranteed 10-15 BER) that can handle even the most demanding
service quality objectives. Service quality is further enhanced by numerous
proactive optical layer performance monitoring functions that reveal problems
before service is affected. Advanced optical layer maintenance tools also help
carriers deliver a very high level of service quality and robustness.
Survivability
In conjunction with its future optical protection ring architecture, OPTera
Long Haul 1600 offers full-time, always on availability on a per-channel basis.
Service differentiation
Carriers can exploit OPTera Long Haul 1600 service quality, survivability, and
optical layer management features to gain a competitive edge through
differentiated service offerings.
1-16 Introduction
Introduction 1-17
Open interfaces
OPTera Long Haul 1600 wavelength translators offer open optical interfaces
enabling multiple services (IP, ATM, SONET/SDH) and multivendor traffic to
be carried transparently across the network. Wavelength Translators at
2.5 Gbit/s and 10 Gbit/s accept non-Nortel Networks wavelengths and
integrate them into a DWDM network. The Wavelength Translator also
provides enhanced operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning
(OAM&P) of these wavelengths. These open optical interfaces are provided
using the following:
the 2.5G WT circuit pack for 2.5 Gbit/s applications
the 10G WT circuit pack for 10 Gbit/s applications
These two circuit packs fully support concatenated OC-48c and OC-192c
signals.
Transparency of services
OPTera Long Haul 1600 Wavelength Translators offer a transparent
regeneration of all incoming signals for optimum performance over a DWDM
backbone. This regeneration is a thin SONET/SDH operation that retimes,
reshapes, and regenerates signals without processing the entire SONET/SDH
overhead.
Full SONET/SDH regeneration
OPTera Long Haul 1600 Repeater supports the OC-192/STM-64 XR circuit
pack providing a full SONET/SDH regeneration of all incoming signals at
10 Gbit/s. An OPTera Long Haul 1600 Repeater filled with OC-192/STM-64
XR circuit packs becomes an extra dense regenerator platform.
Multiwavelength optical repeater (MOR) Plus support
The Nortel Networks Multiwavelength Optical Repeater (MOR) Plus provides
extended reach DWDM solutions on 2.5/10-Gbit/s backbone routes that
transport up to 32 wavelengths (320-Gbit/s aggregate span capacity). Using
erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) technology, the MOR Plus boosts the
level of the optical signal in each direction without costly electrical/optical
conversions. Extensively proven in real-world applications, MOR Plus
optically amplified systems were the very first to achieve 32-wavelength
operation.
The MOR Plus can be configured as follows:
as a bidirectional optical Pre/Post amplifier (single plug-in) when
collocated with service-terminating or regenerator network elements
as a bidirectional optical line amplifier (two back-to-back plug-ins) at
intermediate sites along a backbone route

Network overview
OPTera Long Haul 1600 offers new options to service providers looking for
long haul solutions that enable data services in the most cost-effective way
while maintaining the quality of service associated with more traditional
backbone topologies.
The open optical interfaces on OPTera Long Haul 1600 not only provide
service flexibility, but they can also play a key role in the delivery of
cost-effective services. By allowing the transport of IP, ATM, SONET/SDH,
and other signal types, service providers benefit from maximum bandwidth
efficiency on their network by maximizing the potential capacity of every
wavelength. In this way, OPTera Long Haul 1600 reduces operational
complexity and increases transport savings.
See Figure 2-1, OPTera Long Haul 1600 service interfaces on page 2-2.

OPTera Long Haul 1600 supports the open optical transport of 2.5 Gbit/s and
10 Gbit/s services, and enables the concentration of sub-rate services (for
example, OC-48, with future offerings at OC-12 and Gigabit Ethernet) onto a
10 Gbit/s line rate for maximum bandwidth efficiency. OPTera Long Haul
1600 can be managed by the Nortel Networks Integrated Network
Management (INM) solution and supports management of the optical layer as
a natural extension of the existing management structures and operations. See
Network overview on page 2-3.
The OPTera Long Haul 1600 platform supports high-density applications (up
to 300 Gbit/s in a single bay) using single circuit pack regenerators and
Wavelength Translators. It will support OPTera Long Haul 1600 amplifiers
with an aggregate line capacity of up to 1.6 Tbit/s and offer optical layer
protection of its traffic.
OPTera Long Haul 1600 also offers many built-in optical layer maintenance
tools that enable non-intrusive (in-service) optical power measurement,
analysis, control, and optimization without the need of expensive external test
equipment. The Nortel Networks OPTera portfolio will change the way service
providers create their future data-centric network. Protection management is
governed by subtending multivendor SONET/SDH equipment.

The OPTera Long Haul 1600 WTs share on-ramp and off-ramp capabilities
with overhead (OH) transparency to enable wavelength leasing applications to
subtending multivendors. The OPTera Long Haul 1600 WTs act as a gateway
between the optical transport layer of the network and the service interface of
the subtending equipment. In the OPTera Long Haul 1600 first Wavelength
Translator offering, a single circuit pack acts as an on ramp or an off ramp to
the transport network layer. Available in 2.5 Gbit/s or 10 Gbit/s, these WTs
address the following applications:
non-Nortel Networks SONET/SDH signal overlay onto the optical
transport layer
transparent conversion of non-Nortel Networks or non-DWDM signal onto
ITU-T grid
transparent hand-off of transported DWDM signal to subtending
equipment
physical layer management

Service transparency
With the new service applications (such as wavelength leasing and IP/ATM
transport over SONET/SDH) requiring transparency from unnecessary
SONET/SDH multiplexing or processing, it is important to define terminology
to characterize the level of transparency.
Terminology
Regenerated
Preset data is inserted into the output stream (for example, all 1 pattern is
inserted into the payload upon an alarm indication signal [AIS] condition).
Pass-through
Received data is terminated and output is either not generated or the output
content has no relation to the received data (for example, LOH bytes are
terminated at LTE or J0 is terminated when section trace is disabled; that is,
J0 = 1 regardless of the Rx value).

At the tail-end terminal site, the 2.5G and 10G off-ramp WTs convert a narrow
wavelength into another narrow wavelength to prepare the signal to reach the
far-end receive equipment.
Use the 2.5G and 10G off-ramp WT circuit packs for the following
applications:
to retranslate the wavelength before it reaches the far-end receive
equipment and align the signal to the format and bit rate of the far-end
receive equipment
to monitor the signal quality before it reaches the subtending equipment
2.5G and 10G thin SONET/SDH Regenerator (Regen) WT
At a regenerator site, the 2.5G and 10G WT circuit packs operate in thin
SONET/SDH regen mode. The WT circuit packs combine both an on-ramp
and an off-ramp function to execute a 3R regeneration of the optical signal.
The WT circuit packs at the regenerator site receive a signal wavelength from
a DWDM amplified link and send the same wavelength back into the following
DWDM amplified link. See Figure 2-6 on page 2-12 for a deployment
configuration of the Wavelength Translator.
In summary, the WT circuit packs provide transparent regeneration for
2.5 Gbit/s or 10 Gbit/s channels onto an optical transport layer, enabling a total
open-interface network solution.

A control shelf is installed at the top of the bay, which provides common
equipment and management/operations support. This shelf is common with
the Nortel Networks S/DMS TransportNode OC-192/TN-64X platform,
thereby offering circuit pack inventory savings and many operational
efficiencies with the S/DMS TransportNode 10-Gbit/s network elements.
OPTera Long Haul 1600 shelves can be equipped with a variety of different
optical networking building blocks as needed to support the specific service
requirements of the application. Supported optical networking functions
include the following:
Wavelength Translators that condition 2.5-Gbit/s or 10-Gbit/s services for
DWDM long-haul transport in a multivendor/multi-technology
environment
single circuit pack, 10-Gbit/s regenerators that reconstitute optical signals
at intermediate points between service terminating locations
Note: 2.5 Gbit/s regenerators will be offered in a later release.

Amplifier capacity
The OPTera Long Haul 1600 Repeater supports the MOR Plus amplifier
hardware but with different software support in Release 1.2 or Release 1.5.
OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release 1.2 supports a maximum of 16 wavelengths
(160 Gbit/s total line capacity) while Release 1.5 supports 32 wavelengths
(320 Gbit/s total line capacity).
Globalization
The OPTera Long Haul 1600 global platform provides a unique package for
both SONET and SDH markets. It is able to support all different releases of
OPTera Long Haul 1600 and its various NE types.
The globalization initiative aims to maximize deployment efficiencies while
bearing in mind future globalization requirements. The only impact of this
initiative for the user is the selection point prompt (SONET or SDH) when
commissioning the NE.
When the user selects the NE personality, all CLUI, Web UI logs and alarms
align with the selected personality. A single OPC load supports both NE types.
All specific information (for example, line, rate, alarm text, PM data) is
communicated up from the NE. A single INM load prompts both NE types.
Note: NE personality on a per-facility basis is not supported. No hybrid
NE (mix of SONET/SDH line facilities within the same element) is
possible.
NE personality can only be changed by decommissioning and
recommissioning the NE.
Note: See Engineering rules on page 4-1 for limitations related to
globalization.

Chapter overview
This chapter describes operations, administration, maintenance and
provisioning (OAM&P) features of the OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release
1.2/1.5 Repeater network:
Autoprovisioning
The shelf controller (SC) autoprovisions circuit packs in pairs anywhere in the
OPTera Long Haul 1600 Repeater main and optional extension shelves within
the G-naming and pairing boundaries when you insert circuit packs into the
shelf. The SC performs the following:
automatically recognizes the circuit pack
puts the circuit pack in service
creates facilities (where applicable), and
initializes the default provisioning values (for example, maximum Tx
power)
Repeater Network Application Guide NTY311AX Rel 1.2 and 1.5 Issue 5
Orderwire
The orderwire (OW) circuit pack, along with its associated software
functionalities, provides voice frequency communication between OPTera
Long Haul 1600 network elements (NEs) using the following:
orderwire interfaces present on the Local Craft Access Panel (LCAP), and
the orderwire circuit pack faceplate
Orderwire is typically used during maintenance activities, when craftspeople
at two sites must talk to each other to coordinate their actions and confirm
diagnostic results.
The orderwire circuit pack is an optional component that (when equipped)
resides in slot 15 of the control shelf of the Repeater NE configuration. The
presence or absence of the orderwire circuit pack does not impact any aspect
of the Repeater NE operation except for orderwire itself. See Typical control
shelf layout for the OPTera Long Haul 1600 bay Release 1.2 and 1.5 Repeater
bay on page 4-12 for the slot position of the OW circuit pack.
Local and express orderwire is accessed over the Optical Service Channel
(OSC) supported on MOR Plus amplifiers in slots 1 through 4 (G0 through G3)
of the OPTera Long Haul 1600 Repeater NE. OW is provided through a fixed
pairing of two circuit packs (2 pairs: 1 pair east and 1 pair west) configured as
Pre/Post amplifiers located in the Repeater main shelf.
To configure orderwire on a OPTera Long Haul 1600 Repeater system, each
node requires two to four MOR Plus circuit packs in the main shelf configured
as follows:
circuit packs in G0 and G3 (slots 1 and 4) provisioned as Red Pre/Blue Post
or Red MSAPre/Blue MSA Post
circuit packs in G1 and G2 (slots 2 and 3) provisioned as Red Post/ Blue
Pre or Red MSAPost/Blue MSA Pre
The OSC pairing of the MOR Plus circuit packs is as follows:
West OSC: slot 1 and 2 (MOR Plus G0 and G1)
East OSC: slot 3 and 4 (MOR Plus G2 and G3)
OPTera Long Haul 1600 NTY311AX Rel 1.2 and 1.5 Issue 5
Two MOR Plus circuit packs contain OSC capabilities to achieve bidirectional
OSC functionality:
one MOR Plus circuit pack to achieve 1510 nm OSC in one direction
one OSC plug-in module to achieve the 1625 nm OSC in the other
direction.
Figure 3-1 on page 3-4 shows orderwire signal flow.
The manual seam can be provisioned for an OPTera Long Haul 1600 network
if partitioning of the orderwire network is necessary. OPTera Long Haul 1600
nodes to the left and right of the node for which the manual seam has been
provisioned is treated as separate orderwire networks. This operation does not
affect OPTera Long Haul 1600 traffic. For further information on orderwire
seams, refer to the OPTera Long Haul 1600 NTPs.
OSC must be bidirectional in the network for orderwire to function. User
interfaces for orderwire are provided through the CLUI and the Web User
Interface (WUI). SC, CLUI, and traffic configuration are updated and
modified to provide provisioning, menu, and facilities functions for OW.
The orderwire public switch telephone network (PSTN) functionality is not
supported when a Repeater NE is created in SDH mode. All other OW
attributes are similar to those provided with the OC-192 Release 6.0 and
TN-64X Release 2.0. For more information about the orderwire attributes,
refer to the OPTera Long Haul 1600 NTPs.
Note: See page 4-57 for limitations related to related to orderwire.

Performance monitoring
OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release 1.2/1.5 supports the same performance
monitoring (PM) set as in OC-192 Release 7.0 and TN-64X Release 2.0.
However, not all PMs are used by the Repeater network elements. Because the
Wavelength Translators operate in 3R mode, PM supports section counts only.
Path, line, and physical PMs (Rx power monitoring) are not supported on the
2.5G WT circuit pack. However, Rx power monitoring on the 10G WT and the
OC-192/STM-64 XR is supported.
Section threshold defaults are the same as the threshold values on existing
OC-48 TR and OC-192 TR circuit packs. Table 3-1 provides the list of PMs
supported by the OPTera Long Haul 1600 Repeater.
The OPTera Long Haul 1600 software PM system automatically configures
the operation mode of the supported circuit packs and sends the required
provisioning data. The PM system operates automatically and does not require
user intervention.
In this release, the PM system can support a maximum of 16 WTs or 16
regenerator facilities for each network element.

All Network Manager releases and Integrated Network Management (INM)
releases previous to release 5.0 do not support network element numbers
greater than 32767. INM Release 5.0.2 supports an extended NE ID range of
32767 to 65534.
32M SC
Because of increasing demand on the memory of the shelf controller (SC) from
code expansion, OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release 1.2/1.5 introduces more
memory on the SC with the 32M SC hardware. OPTera Long Haul 1600
Release 1.2/1.5 also provides software support for the 32M SC circuit pack.
Repeater Network Application Guide NTY311AX Rel 1.2 and 1.5 Issue 5
Routing fundamentals
All addressable network elements in a network must be identified by a unique
network service access point (NSAP). A protocol data unit (PDU) is a packet
that is used by a source network element to send data to a destination network
element: a source and destination NSAP information and service data unit
(SDU) that carries the actual data in the message.
All network elements operating within the same routing parameter are said to
form a domain. A domain can be further divided into sub-domains or areas,
also known as a Level 1 area. The protocol used for routing PDUs within an
area is known as Level 1 routing (intra-area). See Level 2 routing concepts
on page 3-11.
Network elements within an area take on one of the following roles:
OPTera Long Haul 1600 NTY311AX Rel 1.2 and 1.5 Issue 5
A link is established over the channel. The frame size that is to be used at each
end of this link must be identical. Nothing in the protocol specification verifies
that the frame size at each end is the same. The user must ensure that the frame
sizes at each end is equal. In a SONET example, the point-to-point connection
uses the Link Access Protocol for D-channels (LAPD) over the section data
communications channel (SDCC). This arrangement establishes the basic fact
that the NEs can communicate with each other. After this fact has been
established, the NEs must now determine their routing compatibility, their
ability to route messages to or from the other NE. At this time, routing
adjacency status is determined.
After the LAPD connection has been established, the NEs now exchange
routing information. This routing information contains the following NE
details:
its network service access point (NSAP) address
the number of area addresses the NE supports
a list of the area addresses that this NE supports (maximum of three)
If the NEs do not support the same number of area addresses, the link cannot
be established. The NEs compare lists of supported area addresses at this point.
All that is required is for one area address to be common on the two NEs. If
there is at least one area address in common, a routing adjacency is established
and messages can be routed between the two NEs. If no area address is in
common, then the NEs view the link as unusable for the purposes of routing
messages to or from each other.
When a routing adjacency is established, the NEs exchange additional
information. A kind of additional information exchanged by the NEs is which
adjacent NEs are accessible through which port. All NEs within the Level 1
network exchange their information with another NE in the network. It is this
information that allows each NE to build the same view of the network and the
network connectivity. This information is then used by those NEs that are
Level 1 routers to route messages throughout the Level 1 network.
When two Level 1 areas are joined into a single Level 1 area, only the NEs
from the two areas that are physically connected require an area address in
common. The key factors required to join two separate Level 1 areas into one
Level 1 area are as follows:
The frame size on the connecting link must be identical.
The number of supported area addresses at each NE must be the same.
The connected NEs must have at least one supported area address in
common.
Repeater Network Application Guide NTY311AX Rel 1.2 and 1.5 Issue 5
There are circumstances in which NEs from different vendors must work
together in a network and be able to route each others messages. It is likely
that two different vendors equipment use different default area addresses. The
ability to support more than one area address means it is simpler to provision
the one vendors area address on the others NE to which it is connected so that
there one area address in common.
The manual area address (MAA) set on any given NE is the area addresses the
NE has provisioned on it. The NE uses this NSAP as the source address of all
messages it originates. To establish routing adjacency, NEs exchange
information about which area addresses they each support. This information is
passed from NE to NE around the entire Level 1 area. All NEs in the entire
Level 1 area know about all area addresses provisioned within the Level 1 area.
The union of all these manual area address sets then becomes the computed
area address (CAA) set. The CAA set is found on each NE within the Level 1
area. No more than three MAAs can be provisioned in a Level 1 area.
Since all nodes can support a maximum of three area addresses in their
computed area address set, the remaining area addresses are dropped, which
has a disastrous effect on the network. The nodes decide which area addresses
to keep and which to drop according to the following rule, from ISO 10589:
Compare all area addresses digit by digit starting from the left. Once a lower
digit is found, that area address is deemed to be lower than the other is. After
all area addresses in the computed area address set are compared, the three
lowest stay and everything else goes.
Assume the following five manual area addresses are provisioned on nodes
within a Level 1 area:
123456
23456789
34567890
4
5
Following the rule, area addresses 123456, 23456789, and 34567890 are kept
while 4 and 5 are dropped. No leading zeroes are added to pad the addresses
to be the same length. All addresses are left justified and the comparison
begins. In this example, the comparison ends after the first digits are compared.
OPTera Long Haul 1600 NTY311AX Rel 1.2 and 1.5 Issue 5
Because area addresses 4 and 5 have now been dropped, any nodes that are
using either of these area addresses in their NSAP addresses will have a
problem. For example, assume node X has area address 5 in its manual area
address set and uses this area address in its NSAP. When X originates a
message, it places its NSAP as the source address of the message. The
destination node, Y for example, receives the message (assuming Y was not
using either 4 or 5 as part of its NSAP address).
Should Y wish to respond to the message, it uses the source address NSAP
from the message it has now received from X as the destination NSAP for its
response.Since Y dropped area address 5 from its computed area address set,
it can not know how to route the message within this Level 1 area to the correct
destination node, X. If Level 1 routing were supported is this network, Y would
throw the message away and node X would not get a response to its message.
Level 2 routing concepts
Level 2 routing is used to interconnect previously created Level 1 areas.
Level 2 routers follow the Level 1 algorithms as described in the previous
section. They are an NE within a Level 1 area. They can also route messages
to nodes that are not within their own Level 1 area. To achieve this
arrangement, a Level 2 router must have at least one of its communications
ports directly connected to that of another Level 2 router. To maintain
connectivity in a domain comprised of numerous Level 1 areas, all Level 2
routers must be connected. This connection forms the Level 2 routing
backbone.
Once connected and provisioned as Level 2 routers, the Level 2 routers
exchange information between themselves. The information exchanged is the
set of area addresses (computed as a set of area addresses) each supported in
its Level 1 area. Each Level 2 router can then build a map of which Level 2
routers support which Level 1 area addresses. In addition, each Level 2 router
can determine over which link it must send a message destined for another
Level 1 area to allow the message to reach its destination. See Figure 3-3 on
page 3-14.
Level 2 connectivity
When a packet is routed through the Level 2 sub-domain, the Level 2 router
cannot make use of Level 1 links or paths to forward the packet. A packet
routed through the Level 2 sub-domain must use Level 2 paths formed by
Level 2 links. Level 1 and Level 2 paths operate separately.
Level 2 with linear systems
OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release 1.2/1.5 Repeater system can support a
number of on ramp and off ramp tributaries where a cluster of NEs can hang
off each tributary. Each of these tributary clusters will be a tributary network.
In this case, the total number of NEs in the entire tributary network can exceed
the Level 1 routing limit. If this happens, part or all of the tributary networks
must be partitioned into smaller Level 1 areas. Each tributary network is
configured as an individual area. In each area, the NE connection to the
OPTera Long Haul 1600 linear backbone is configured as a Level 2 router for
the area itself. This NE can then tap into the OPTera Long Haul 1600 backbone
using the tributary circuit. See Figure 3-4 on page 3-15.

The CLUI output displayed by various commands has the same formatting and
display properties except for the displays that support new functionality (for
example, the new 2.5G WT and 10G WT).
The UI enhancements allow you to select multiple sets of optical facility
instances on a single circuit pack (for example, dual DWDM circuit packs).
Introduction of this feature in the first day of OPTera Long Haul 1600
deployment minimizes the customer impact on this major CLUI change in the
future.

Note 1: OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release 1.5 to Release 2 is a span of control (SOC) only upgrade
because it only upgrades the OPC software to include management of Combiner NEs into an existing
Release 1.5 network. NE software catalog files are upgraded with the new release information.
Note 2: OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release 2 supports the new deployment of OAS, Repeater and
Combiner NEs through the Multiple catalog support (MCS) functionality. MCS also allows the SOC
upgrade of an OPTera Long Haul 1600 OAS or Repeater from Release 1.5 to Release 2 . This SOC
upgrade allows the use of a single SOC for all NE types. A Combiner NE can only be created upon
commissioning MI deployment, not upon upgrade or decommissioning of an existing Repeater or OAS
NE.
Repeater Network Application Guide NTY311AX Rel 1.2 and 1.5 Issue 5
Network management
Several network management considerations must be taken into account when
deploying OPTera Long Haul 1600 products in a system. OPTera Long Haul
1600 operators are looking to purchase or lease bandwidth (or wavelengths)
from various carriers and from various network configurations. Because
overhead transparency may be required when deploying open optical
interfaces that provide -leasing capabilities (such as OPTera Long Haul 1600
Release 1.2/1.5), performance monitoring and alarm management become a
challenge.
With OPTera Long Haul 1600 Releases 1.2/1.5, operators are able to provision
some bytes in the overhead to address this fault management issue. In Figure
3-8 on page 3-23, the second and last deployment examples are manageable
because each carrier can perform its own sectionalization of faults without
interfering with the others. However, in the first example, which is a direct
application of transparent leasing, it is not clear as to where a fault
originates and which carrier will account for it. In this situation, operators can
provision the B1 byte (section parity byte for error counts and PM counts) as
recalculated and provision J0 (section trace) as inserted to activate section
trace monitoring. Section trace monitoring effectively indicates
misconnections from an on-ramp facility to an off-ramp facility.
B1 byte provisioning functionality
As shown in Figure 3-9 on page 3-23, if the B1 byte is provisioned as
pass-through, the error count increases every time a fault occurs and the total
quantity of error counts reaches the subtending equipment. The operator then
has to log in to each OPTera Long Haul 1600 Repeater NE in the link and look
at the PM screens to determine where the counts have started to increase. The
B1 byte provisioned as pass-through answers the need of some customers for
total service transparency while still signaling faults to the subtending
equipment. The subtending equipment can then handle the protection
switching. In this scenario however, sectionalization of faults is a laborious
process.
For a faster and more effective sectionalization of fault solution, the B1 byte
can be provisioned as recalculated. In this situation, the B1 byte is reset to 00
at every Repeater site when no faults are detected within a span. If an error
occurs between two Repeaters, the error counts show on the PM screens of the
receiving Repeater. The fault can then be localized and acknowledged much
faster without fastidious calculations. For carriers who require rapid fault
detection, B1 recalculated is a valuable solution.
Subtending equipment is still provided with switching capabilities in the event
of a B2 error as the passed through B2 byte is detected at the far end terminal.

Power
The office power terminations are fastened to the control shelf with lugs. All
power distribution is contained within the bay, shelves and frames. It is well
protected against accidental cuts or short-circuits because power wires are not
externally accessible.
As shown in Figure 4-2 on page 4-5, three power feeds from each battery (A
and B), and the required three battery return cables for each battery (A and B)
provide power to the bay. A ground connection is also provided at the top of
the bay for frame ground connection to the central office (CO) ground.
You can use two configuration models to connect OPTera Long Haul 1600
power feeds to the power supply: 6 power feeds and 2 power feeds.
Six power feeds
The six power feeds can be connected to the front power termination block (see
Figure 4-2 on page 4-5). Figure 4-4 on page 4-7 shows how to connect the
power cables to the front termination block.
The fuse or breaker for each power lead from the battery distribution fuse bay
(BDFB) must be 40 amperes.
Two power feeds
To connect the two power feeds, you must have the correct power feed jumper
kit. It contains two 3-position bus bars, one 6-position bus bar and 4 x #4 AWG
power leads. See Figure 4-3 on page 4-6 for a detailed schematic of the 2 power
feeds installation procedure.
The fuse or breaker for each power lead from the BDFB must be 100 amperes.
Note: You can use different types of fuses/breakers to protect the wiring
between the BDFB and the OPTera Long Haul 1600 bay. The given
amperage values do not depend on the type of fuse or breaker used.
Breaker/filter modules
The breaker/filter modules consist of seven 15-ampere circuit breakers, low
frequency filtering, and soft-start circuits. The circuit breakers are logically
assigned for the power distribution to the control shelf, to each quadrant of the
main transport shelf and to each half of the extension shelf (see Figure 4-5 on
page 4-8). Each breaker/filter module is connected to the three parallel battery
feeds located in the power termination area. The circuit packs are located in
slots 1 and 2 of the control shelf: one circuit pack for battery A power feeds
and one circuit pack for battery B power feeds. Both circuit packs are required
to offer power redundancy.

Circuit packs
This section provides engineering rules for ordering and equipping circuit
packs in an OPTera Long Haul 1600 Repeater NE configuration. Order circuit
packs as follows:
when you order a new bay
when you are expanding an existing system to add more capacity
if you require replacements or spares
Order circuit packs according to the OPTera Long Haul 1600 Repeater
network element configuration. Release 1.2/1.5 supports the use of the
optional extension shelf for a denser Repeater application.
Order spare circuit packs based on your requirements. It is recommended that
you have a minimum number of spare circuit pack as backups for circuit packs
carrying traffic and control circuit packs, such as shelf controller (SC) and the
maintenance interface (MI).

OPC definition
The operations controller (OPC) provides operations, administration,
maintenance and provisioning (OAM&P) functionality in an OPTera Long
Haul 1600 network. OPC capabilities include system administration, network
surveillance and software management.
An OPC has a span of control. A span of control consists of the OPTera Long
Haul 1600 NEs that can be directly controlled or monitored by a single OPC
(primary OPC only) or a pair of OPCs (primary and backup OPCs). Normally,
a span of control is monitored by a pair of OPCs.
The partitioned OPC (POPC) consists of three separate OPC circuit packs that
are installed together in the control shelf of an OPTera Long Haul 1600 NE.
The POPC is loaded with software that allows it to monitor OPTera Long Haul
1600 NEs.
The OPC controller circuit pack installed in the control shelf communicates
with the maintenance interface circuit pack, the OPC storage circuit pack and
the OPC interface circuit pack, as seen in Figure 4-11 on page 4-19.
Maximum number of NEs in a span of control
The maximum number of NEs in a single OPTera Long Haul 1600 span of
control is 34. The maximum number of terminals in a single span of control is
24. The maximum number of NEs in a DCC network is 150. The NEs can be
interconnected through the data communication channel (DCC) or Ethernet.
All of the nodes in a DCC network are visible to the OPCs because of the
Network Name Service. The Network Name Service is a database on the OPC
that stores network routing information and is updated whenever a NE is
removed or added to the system.

The OC-12, OC-48, OC-192 and OPTera Long Haul 1600 NEs require their
own OPCs. The OPTera Long Haul 1600 NEs must be in a different OPC span
of control from OC-12, OC-48 or OC-192 NEs. The primary and backup OPCs
in the OPTera Long Haul 1600 span of control must be located at opposite ends
of the optical line in NEs that are configured in their span of control. This
ensures that all NEs will still be visible in the event of a communication failure.
Communication between the POPC and other NEs through optical fiber
The OPC controller circuit pack exchanges OAM&P messages with NEs
through the OSC. The OSC reproduces the SONET section and line DCC
information embedded in the SONET overhead of the optical traffic.
At the receiving NE, the OSC optical signal is received by the OSC circuit pack
and DCC information is processed. The DCC then travels over GraceLAN to
the message exchange circuit pack, then over the multi-master serial bus
(MMSB) to the shelf controller. The shelf controller receives the information,
or retransmits the information downstream by way of the OSC DCC to the
adjacent NE.

Deployment examples
A typical OPTera Long Haul 1600 Repeater system new-build deployment is
be similar to the one shown on Figure 4-18 on page 4-30. In this figure, the on
ramps 2.5G WT or 10G WT are deployed in a Repeater bay housing the MOR
Plus Red Post/Blue Pre site. The multiplexed 2.5G and 10G optical signals are
sent down the optical line towards a regeneration site, through a few line
amplifier sites. The regeneration site bay can be filled with 2.5G WT or 10G
WT circuit packs for a thin-SONET regeneration. The signal can then be
amplified along the way according to link budget specifications before
reaching the OFF ramp Repeater site.
The OPTera Long Haul 1600 Repeater can also be used in a scenario where an
existing OC-192/TN-64X system receives extra 2.5G WT or 10G WT input
channels at its ADM/LTE sites. As illustrated in the second drawing of Figure
4-18 on page 4-30, the input channels are multiplexed with the existing
OC-192/STM-64 signals and fed directly in the amplifiers. This deployment
example is useful in a situation where footprint density and fiber capacity
exhaust are limiting issues.
OPTera Long Haul 1600 NTY311AX Rel 1.2 and 1.5 Issue 5
The opposite situation is also possible. Figure 4-19 on page 4-31 describes an
OC-192/TN-64X span of control overlay onto an OPTera Long Haul 1600
system. This example shows 10-Gbit/s signal feeds from OC-192/TN-64X
bays being directly multiplexed with the OPTera Long Haul 1600 Repeater
signals.
In Figure 4-20 on page 4-32, only one wavelength is shown for illustration
purposes. In this figure, the router uses the OPTera Long Haul 1600 network
to communicate to the other router. The router generates a 1310 nm signal that
is received by the Wavelength Translator (WT). The WT converts the 1310 nm
signal into the ITU-T grid so that it can be used by the OPTera Long Haul 1600
network elements. The wavelength undergoes amplification and regeneration
before it arrives at the far-end WT, where the wavelength is then translated and
transmitted to the router on the opposite end of the network. The same optical
path configuration can be achieved in 10-Gbit/s applications using the
10-Gbit/s WT.
OPTera Long Haul 1600 Wavelength Translators help carriers extend the
economic and capacity advantages of DWDM technology to a highly varied
mix of network element types and services.

32-wavelength open interface using 4 OPTera Long Haul 1600 bays with
10G WT as a wavelength translator
Figure 4-22 on page 4-35 represents fiber interconnection in a west facing
open interface site. In this example, the 10G wavelengths are interfacing to a
router hub. Data is received on blue wavelengths, translated, routed, translated,
and then transmitted on red wavelengths.
The 4-bay layout in Figure 4-21 on page 4-34 shows the fiber routing in the
open interface configuration. Line fiber arrives into bay 1 through the MOR
Plus and then is routed to the optical DEMUX modules. The wavelengths are
separated and routed to the 10G translators (WT) on bay 1. The wavelengths
whose translators are on bays 2, 3, or 4 are routed through DWDM upgrade
fibers. After the data is translated, it is routed over fiber to the routers. The data
is then returned to the adjacent circuit pack where it is translated and then
transmitted over a new wavelength to the optical MUX modules. The
wavelengths are then recombined onto one fiber and then routed through the
MOR Plus and onto the line fiber. There is minimal bay-to-bay fiber routing in
this configuration. The majority of the fiber interconnections have been
contained within the bay.

Therefore, at a regenerator site, DWDM couplers must be the same for the
working fiber and the protection fiber. This requirement explains the
duplication of the PBA couplers in Figure 4-35 on page 4-52.
Note: The 1625-nm OSC channel is not required in a 2-fiber configuration
when 1 fiber carries working traffic and the other carries protection traffic.
The 1510-nm built-in OSC is sufficient to achieve bidirectional service
communication because one 1510 nm travels in the working fiber and the
other 1510 nm travels in the protection fiber. The 1510-nm OSCs do not
interfere with one another.

Limitations
This section includes limitations in the following areas related to OPTera Long
Haul 1600 Repeater Release 1.2 and 1.5:
Network reconfiguration on page 4-55
INM on page 4-55
External communications on page 4-56
Wavelength overlay deployment on page 4-56
Globalization phase 1 on page 4-56
OPC support on page 4-57
Orderwire (OW) on page 4-57
Interworking baseline on page 4-57
Note 1: LTE, 4FR, TMUX and REGEN configurations are not supported.
Note 2: Repeater optional extension shelf slot 5 (G14) and slot 10 (G19)
are full-height slots only. No hardware is available in upper half of the slots
to recognize the circuit pack in this position. The other 8 slots are
half-height and full-height slots.
Network reconfiguration
The following lists network reconfiguration limitations:
In-service add for the first optional extension shelf (shelf ID: 3) is not
supported. Although all extension shelves are optional, it is recommended
to have at least the first extension shelf installed on day 1.
Optical layer interworking between OAS and Repeater is supported.
However, it is recommended that OAS NEs and Repeater NEs have
separate SOCs.
INM
The following lists INM limitations:
Connection management is not available because it is not a supported
feature in the OPCUI.
Traffic display, Protection status, and Control features are not applicable.
The 2.5G WT, 10G WT, and OC-192/STM-64 XR support facility
provisioning (dependencies on BAN support at OPC).
PM threshold provisioning
Note: The preceding limitation applies to SONET only.
Repeater Network Application Guide NTY311AX Rel 1.2 and 1.5 Issue 5
External communications
The following lists external communications limitations:
A limit of seven nodes in link mode is recommended if only OSC is
available for upgrading (that is, full fill WT on a Repeater).
A maximum of 34 NEs within the same SOC is recommended by the OPC.
Wavelength overlay deployment
The following lists wavelength overlay deployment limitations:
Wavelength overlay onto OC-192/TN-64X SOC is supported if MOR Plus
interworking guidelines are observed.
Wavelength overlay onto Repeater SOC is supported if MOR Plus
interworking guidelines are observed.
Globalization phase 1
The following lists globalization phase 1 limitations:
2.5G WT is unidirectional. (Bidirectionality is achieved with a pair of 2.5G
WTs.)
WUI is not available for SDH.
Note: WUI reach-through capability from INM is blocked when the
OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release 1.2/1.5 Repeater is operating in SDH
markets.
SONET/SDH DCC is not available for OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release
1.2/1.5 with the 2.5G WT and the 10G WT but is available with the
OC-192/STM-64 XR.
The OPC does not support mixed NE types (SONET/SDH) in the same
SOC.
TL1 is not available in SDH. TL1 is available in SONET only.
SDH block based performance monitoring (PM) collection is not
supported.
Note: PMs for 2.5G WT, 10G WT and OC-192/STM-64 XR circuit pack
are based on the SONET subset.
OPTera Long Haul 1600 NTY311AX Rel 1.2 and 1.5 Issue 5
OPC support
The following lists OPC support limitations:
The legacy OPCs located in OC-48, OC-12 and TN-16X shelves are not
supported.
The following exclusions refer to OC-192 Release 7.0 system:
OPC configuration and connection management UIs
There is no end-to-end connection and configuration manager on
OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release 1.2 and 1.5 OPC because the
Repeater NE is transparent to the network and does not have access
to the line and path overheads nor to the STS payloads. There are
no add/drop facilities supported at the STS level.
OPC protection manager UI
OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release 1.2/1.5 offers no protection
switching support. There are no switches supported in the hardware
and no optical switching facilities.
no TL1 interface for remote OAM management for SDH
TL1 interface for remote OAM management is offered only to the
SONET market.
The TL1 interface facility is not required for the SDH market.
Orderwire (OW)
OW Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is not supported when the
NE is commissioned as SDH.
Interworking baseline
OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release 1.2 Repeater and OAS interworking is not
supported. No market requirement exists for these two products to interwork
for OPTera Long Haul 1600 Release 1.2 Repeater. However, OPTera Long
Haul 1600 Release 1.5 supports both OAS NE type and Repeater NE type.

Floor loading
The OPTera Long Haul 1600 bay has a total weight of 328 kg (725 lbs) fully
configured. The OPTera Long Haul 1600 bay configured as a Repeater (for
Release 1.2/1.5) weights 300 lbs (136.1 kg) without circuit packs. Given a
300-mm (11.81-in.) deep frame, the specified Telcordia (formerly known as
Bellcore) occupied floor area is 0.65 m2 (7.04 ft.2), which results in a total
floor load of 505 kg/m2 (103 lb/ft.2).
Telcordia standard GR-63-CORE Issue 1, October 1995 requirement is that the
total floor load for the specified area including overhead cables, light fixtures
and transient loads supported by the equipment frame must not exceed
735 kg/m2 (150.6 lb/ft.2).
Thermal loading
The OPTera Long Haul 1600 bay is a 300 mm (11.81) deep, forced-air cooled
free-standing frame. The Telcordia standard GR-63-CORE Issue 1, October
1995 heat release objective is 1950 W/m2 (181.2 W/ft2).
The OPTera Long Haul 1600 bay heat dissipation depends on the
configuration. The following table shows the maximum thermal loading for a

Power requirements
The following specifications cover all the requirements related to the powering
of an OPTera Long Haul 1600 network element.
Battery voltage requirements
Range
39 V dc to 75 V dc
5 V step @ 5 V/ms
Power distribution
The OPTera Long Haul 1600 system is powered by redundant feeds. The
failure of one of the power feeds due to an open or short circuit does not affect
the system. Two breaker/filter modules provide power for the OPTera Long
Haul 1600 shelves.
The A side and the B side can have separate power supplies. See the following
table for the acceptable voltage difference between the two power supplies:
Measured voltage across
Acceptable range
39 V to 75 V
39 V to 75 V
05V
0 0.1 V
OPTera Long Haul 1600 NTY311AX Rel 1.2 and 1.5 Issue 5
The fuse/breaker for each power lead from the BDFB must be 40 amperes.
Two power feeds
The fuse/breaker for each power lead from the BDFB must be 100 amperes.
Note 1: Various types of fuses/breakers can be used to protect the wiring
between the battery distribution fuse bay (BDFB) and the bay. The given
amperage values are independent of the fuse or breaker used.
Note 2: A network element configured as an MOR Plus stand-alone can
be powered by the two power feed configuration with 100-ampere
fuses/breakers. If the six power feed configuration is used, the 40-ampere
fuses/breakers should still be used.
Grounding and isolation
OPTera Long Haul 1600 equipment uses an integrated frame and logic
grounding system. For example, the 4.5 and 12 V dc logic ground from the
point-of-use power supply (PUPS) of each circuit pack is connected to the
frame of the shelf through the backplane. The battery return is separated from
the frame ground in accordance with Telcordia (formerly known as Bellcore)
GR-63-CORE, Issue 1, October 1995.
Note: RS-232, parallel telemetry and Ethernet grounding pins are
connected to the shelf ground.

DWDM couplers
This component multiplexes and demultiplexes optical channels into and out
of a single fiber. These couplers generally consist of passive filters that are
packaged as stand-alone optical components with one port for each DWDM
channel and a common port that connect to the fiber plant. Monitoring taps,
variable optical attenuators (VOA) for received power adjustment and
expansion ports for upgrades can also be included. For more information about
DWDM couplers for 200 GHz DWDM grid applications, see 200 GHz, 2- to
16-wavelength Optical Layer Applications Guide (NTY311DX) or 100 GHz
MOR Plus, 2- to 32-wavelength Optical Layer Applications Guide
(NTY312DX).
Dispersion Compensation Modules (DCM)
These components are used to counter chromatic dispersion in long-haul
transmission systems. DCMs contain dispersion-compensating fiber that
applies a pre-defined level of dispersion to reconstruct (compress) the optical
pulses after they have been broadened over a given length of standard, and in
some cases, dispersion-shifted fiber. For more information about DCM
modules, see 200 GHz, 2- to 16-wavelength Optical Layer Applications Guide
(NTY311DX) or 100 GHz MOR Plus, 2- to 32-wavelength Optical Layer
Applications Guide (NTY312DX).
Repeater Network Application Guide NTY311AX Rel 1.2 and 1.5 Issue 5
Functional description
MOR Plus amplifier circuit packs optically amplify a maximum of up to 32 optical channels that are
symmetrically allocated in two wavelength bands: the RED (1547.5 nm to 1561.0 nm) and BLUE
(1528.4 nm to 1542.5 nm) bands. A maximum of up to 16 wavelengths are co-propagating in each band.
The two bands are travelling in opposite directions to provide full bidirectionality in a single optical fiber.
The MOR Plus provides access to each optical band. The MOR Plus, configured as a line amplifier,
enables the insertion of components at its mid stage. When correct engineering rules are followed (see
OPTera Long Haul 1600 NTPs for engineering rules), the loss of the component inserted in an MOR
Plus line amplifier cannot decrease the reach of the optical link.

Specific attributes
This version of the MOR Plus amplifier includes BLUE and
RED band EDFA modules mounted on a motherboard
assembly. The MOR Plus amplifier is used at a site where
RED band wavelengths are multiplexed in the fiber and
BLUE band wavelengths are demultiplexed out of the fiber.
The MOR Plus amplifier is not equipped with the 1510 nm
OSC unit.

The ANSI bolt-on cable carrier (NTCA89GF) added to the rear section of
upright bays allows the through-floor routing of power cables. Both the
4 x #4 AWG cables and the 12 x #6 AWG cables can be used.
10 For ETSI power through-floor connections, the through-floor power cable
kit (NTCA89GG) must be used. This kit replaces the existing ANSI fiber
highway and supports the 12 x #6 AWG feed solution only. The 12 power
cables are stored on one side of the bay frame in the power troughs. The
signal control cables are stored on the other side of the bay frame in the
power troughs.
