Equipment layer (MCU): It monitors the card alarm and performance

status, receives commands from the network management system and
controls the cards for conducting specific operations.
NE layer (NE): It is Agent in the NMS. It manages individual NE, and
configures the cards when the NE is powered on for initialization. In its
normal operating status, it monitors the alarms and performance
status of the whole NE layer, receives monitoring commands of the NE
management layer (Manager) through the Gateway Network Element
(GNE), and processes the monitoring commands.
NE management layer (Manager): It includes Manager, GUI and Local
maintenance Terminal (LCT). It controls and coordinates the
operations of NEs.

Manager (or server) is the core of the NE management layer. It can

simultaneously manage multiple subnets, and control and
coordinate NE equipment.
GUI provides graphical user interfaces, converts the user
management requests into commands of the internal format, and
sends the commands to the Manager.
LCT accomplishes a simple synthesis of GUI and Manager by
controlling the user authority and software functional parts, and
provides a simple NE management function. It is applied in the
commissioning and maintenance of local NEs.
Subnet management layer: Its structure is similar to the NE
management layer structure. The NE configuration and maintenance
commands are indirectly executed through the network management
system of the NE management layer. The subnet management system
sends commands to NEs through management system, and then the
NE sends the execution result back to the subnet management system
through the NE management system. The subnet management system
can also provide the Cobra interface for the network management
layer.

complete the service add/drop. One OL1 can provide at most four
standard STM-1 optical interfaces, and its performance specifications and
functions comply with the relevant standards.
Electrical Interface Function

The ZXMP S385 provides STM-1 and PDH electrical interfaces.
STM-1 Electrical Interface

The STM-1 electrical interface unit of the ZXMP S385 provides the exterior
with standard STM-1 electrical interfaces in eight or four directions at the
rate of 155.520 Mbit/s. It also provides the 1:N (N4) protection.

(LP4 or LP8), STM-1 Electrical interface Switching card (ESS14 or
ESS18), STM-1e/E3/T3/FE Interface Bridge card (BIE3).
PDH Electrical Interface

The ZXMP S385 provides 2.048 Mbit/s PDH electrical interfaces.
The 2.048 Mbit/s PDH electrical interface is implemented by E1 tributary

subsystem. It can provide 1:N (N9) protection.
The E1 tributary subsystem consists of the following cards: 75 E1

Electrical Processor (EPE1x63 (75)), 120 E1 Electrical Processor
(EPE1x63 (120)), 75 E1 Electrical Interface card (EIE163), 120 E1
Electrical Interface card (EIT163), 75 E1 Electrical interface Switching
card (ESE163), 120 E1 Electrical interface Switching card (EST163),
E1 electrical Interface Bridge card (BIE1). The cards can access 632.048
Mbit/s traffic at most.
Data Function

System Control and

Communication Functions
1. The system control and communication functions are implemented by
the NE Control Processor card (NCP). The functions include sending
configuration commands to cards, and collecting cards performance
and alarm information.
2. The system implements information exchange between NE network
management systems via the ECC channel.
3. The system implements order wire calls between NEs via the E1/E2
bytes. The order wire part uses an independent CPU.
4. Qx interface is the communication interface between the NE and the
Subnet Management Control Center (SMCC). Through the Qx interface,
NCP can report to SMCC the alarm and performance information of the
current NE and its sub-network, and receive the commands and
configurations sent from SMCC to the current NE and its sub-network.
5. The NCP card conducts intelligent monitoring of the fan plug-in box in
the current NE, and the over-voltage/under-voltage monitoring of the
input voltage of the power distribution unit.
System Power Supply Function

The ZXMP S385 employs the dual power supply system to access the -48V
power in the equipment room, and distributes the -48 VDC power using
the Synchronous Clock Interface card (SCI) and Qx Interface card (QxI).
It employs the distributed power supply mode. The service card, functional
card and STM-1 electrical interface switching card are directly powered by
the 48 V power in the sub-rack; the E1 electrical interface switching card
and STM-1e/E3/T3/FE interface bridge card are powered in a 1+1
centralized power supply mode and protected by the SCI/QxI card.

Overhead Processing Function

1. The overhead processing function of the ZXMP S385 is performed by
the NE Control Processor (NCP), Order Wire card (OW), Cross-
connect/clock card (CSA), and Optical Line (OL) card.
The ZXMP S385 optical line card performs the following functions:
Separates section overheads from payload data in the SDH
frame structure, integrates overhead bytes into overhead bus
(the equipment overheads are transmitted via the bus; and the
overhead bus carries the administrative bytes, order wire bytes
and switching bytes that comply with the ITU-T standards), and
sends the data into the CSA card.
Utilizes the idle overhead bytes to implement the order wire
calls and data services.
Sends the overhead bytes that carry the control information to
NCP card through ECC channel.
CSA card implements the overhead cross-connect. Byte is the
minimum granule of the cross-connect. The overheads can be
configured to any port as required by the network management
system.
OW cards only relate to CSA cards. CSA cards implement the idle
overhead bytes extraction/insertion, which is part of the overhead
cross-connect function.
NCP cards receive and process ECC control information from all the
cards, and send the information to the destination card through the
ECC channel.
2. The ZXMP S385 uses SOH overhead bytes to provide extra data
interfaces, including order wire, RS422/232 and 64 kbit/s F1 interfaces.
It also provides flexible overhead path add/drop method.
3. The ZXMP S385 supports the transparent transmission of overheads,
that is, the service and overhead of low-speed service signal can be
transparently transmitted in STM-16 frames.
Timing and Synchronization

Output Function
The ZXMP S385 employs the master/slave synchronization mode. The
timing and synchronization is carried out by the cross-connect/clock card,
specifically including:
1. Clock source selection

The ZXMP S385 can choose the external clock, the clock extracted
from STM-N service interfaces, or the internal clock as the equipment
timing reference. The working modes include synchronous lock, hold
and free oscillation modes.

If the external timing reference is selected as the clock source, four

external 2 MHZ or 2 MBIT clock input references and 28 lines (or
tributaries) timing input references can be set.
2. Clock source switching

When the clock source is lost, higher quality clock source recovers, or
the current clock source quality degrades, the clock source switching
will occur.
The system clock supports the synchronous priority switching and SSM
algorithm-based automatic switching. In the complicated networking,
the SSM algorithm-based automatic switching can optimize the timing
and synchronization distribution of the network, reduce the difficulty of
synchronization planning, avoid the timing loop and ensure the optimal
network synchronization.
The system clock supports the ZTE owned patent S1 byte algorithm
patent technology
3. Clock output
The system provides four external reference clocks for output and four
external reference clocks for input. The interface type is 2 MBIT or
2MHZ, which is implemented by replacing the synchronous clock
interface card (SCIB/SCIH). Each card provides two 75 and two 120
interfaces.
Alarm Input/Output Function

1. The NCP provides eight interfaces of external alarm boolean-value.
2. The NCP collects the alarm indication signals of the NEs, and sends
them to the alarm box and the column head cabinet.
3. The system provides four user alarm interface outputs.
Cross-Connect Function
The cross-connect function refers to the cross-connect of AU-4, TU-3, TU-
12 or TU-11 via optical line cards and electrical processing cards. And the
cross-connect matrix is used for protection switching.
Through its cross-connect/clock card, the ZXMP S385 achieves the direct
connection, broadcast, add/drop and cross-connect of services. The direct
connection, broadcast and add/drop are a subset of the cross-connect
function. In the equipment, both the electrical tributary interface and the
optical line interface enter the cross-connect network, and they have
identical connections. Therefore, the services between interfaces can be
cross-connected in any format, as shown in Figure 7.

1. Direct connection
The line service is input into the cross-connect matrix via the interface
at one side, and is output via the same time slot at the other side. The
equipment here functions as a repeater. The signal cross-connect in
the direct connection mode is shown in Figure 8.
FIGURE 8 DIRECT CONNECTION
West East
2. Add/drop
The service signals received in the line are dropped to the tributary via
the predefined time slot, or the tributary service signals are added to
the line via the configured time slot. The add/drop service signals in
the tributary of the ZXMP S385 can be assigned to any available time
slot. The add/drop service time slots can be either the same or
different. The signal cross-connect in the add/drop mode is shown in
Figure 9.
FIGURE 9 ADD/DROP
West East
3. Broadcast
The ZXMP S385 can implement the following broadcast functions:
broadcast between the lines, as shown in Figure 10 (a); broadcast of

time slots inside the line, as shown in Figure 10 (b); dropping one
service signal from a line to more than two tributary time slots at the
same time, or adding the tributary service signal to more than two line
time slots, as shown in Figure 10 (c); allocating time slots in one
tributary to more than two tributaries, as shown in Figure 10 (d).The
above broadcast modes can be carried out simultaneously.
FIGURE 10 BROADC AST
(a) Broadcast between lines (b) Broadcast of time slots

inside the line
(c) Line-tributary broadcast (d) Broadcast between tributaries
4. Cross-connect
The cross-connect between lines applies to protection switching, rout
selection and service grooming. It helps improve the network vitality
and the band utilization efficiency; The cross-connect between the line
and the tributary offers flexible service add/drop; The cross-connect
between the tributaries can save the network construction investment
and the time slots resources of the backbone network. The cross-
connect service mode is shown in Figure 11.

Tributary
As shown in Figure 12, NE T1 and NE T2 can interwork with the

backbone network via NE A, or form a direct service route between
themselves via NE A without establishing another line or adding
equipment between T1 and T2. The ZXMP S385 functions described
above can also support the network maintenance/test during network
construction/operation.

Protection Functions
Protection functions include equipment-level protection and network-level
protection.
Equipment-Level Protection
Power Supply Protection
1. Out-of-cabinet power protection
Two groups of -48 V power supplies are prepared in the equipment
room for the ZXMP S385. The external power supply works in the 1+1
protection mode, ensuring that the equipment operates normally when
either power supply group in the equipment room fails.
2. Card power supply protection

The service cards employ the distributed power supply mode to reduce
the power supply influence between cards to zero. All cards have
overcurrent and overvoltage protections.
3. Protection for reversed polarities of power supply

Use fuse for protection in the case of reversed polarities of power
supply.
Cross-connect Protection and Clock Protection

The ZXMP S385 provides the 1+1 protection for the cross-connect/clock
card by configuring the two active and standby cross-connect/clock cards.
In the case of failure, the network management system automatically
controls the switching of the cross-connect/clock cards.
1:N Protection for the Tributary Card

PDH and FE service cards support 1:N hardware protection: Uses E1
service cards to implement 1:N (N9) protection; uses FE and STM-1
service cards to implement 1:N (N4) protection.

Network-Level Protection
The ZXMP S385 complies with multiple networking features recommended
by ITU-T. The protection modes include 1+1 link multiplex section
protection, two-fiber unidirectional path protection ring, two-fiber
bidirectional multiplex section protection ring, dual node interconnection
protection (DNI), subnet connection protection (SNCP) and logic subnet
protection.
Its protection features also include Ethernet and IP rerouting in

accordance with the IEEE802.3E requirements.

Transmitting optical pulse generally shows such symptoms as

ascending edge, descending edge, overshoot, undershoot and
oscillation. All these may deteriorate the sensitivity of the receiver and
therefore should be restricted. To prevent excessive deterioration of
the receivers sensitivity, the waveform of the transmitting signals
should be limited. Therefore, the eye pattern sent at the transmitting
point S is specified to regulate the pulse shape of the transmitting
optical signals.
Systems of different STM levels should meet corresponding

requirements for different eye pattern shapes. The eye pattern
parameters are listed in Table 12 below.

3. Mean transmitting optical power

The optical power of the optical transmitter is related to the percentage
of 1s in the transmitted signals. The more the 1s are, the greater
the transmitting optical power is.
When the transmitted signals are pseudo-random sequence, 1s and

0s are approximately 50% each. In this case, the optical power is
defined as the mean transmitting optical power.

For the parameters of the mean transmitting optical power of the ZXMP
S385 STM-N, refer to Table 13.

4. Mean receiving optical power

Mean receiving optical power is the test value of the average power
(tested at the current station) that is coupled to pseudo-random data
sequence of the optical fiber and sent by a transmitter of an
upstream/downstream station.
The purpose of measuring the mean optical receiving power is to

examine whether there is any break or loss in the optical cable, and
whether the interfaces are well connected.
The mean optical receiving power should be greater than the worst
sensitivity and less than the overload optical power of relevant optical
cards.
The ZXMP S385 conforms to the above specifications.
5. Extinction ratio
The extinction ratio refers to the ratio of the average optical power of
transmitting optical signals to the average optical power of non-
transmitting optical signals in the worst reflection and fully modulated
conditions.
The extinction ratios of the ZXMP S385 are listed in Table 14.

maximum value of the average receiving optical power that is required
to meet the specified bit error ratio (BER) at the receiving point R.
The overload optical power of the ZXMP S385 receiver is shown in

Table 16.

8. Permissible frequency deviation of optical input interfaces

The input interface can still work properly (which is generally judged
by no bit error in the equipment) when it receives signals within the
permissible frequency deviation range.
The permissible frequency deviation of the ZXMP S385 optical input

interface is within 20 ppm (1 ppm=110-6).
9. AIS rate of optical output interfaces

The AIS rate of optical output interfaces refers to the rate of AIS
signals sent downstream from the output interface in the case that the
optical signals of the SDH equipment input interface are lost or there
are other faults. The AIS rate deviation should be within a certain
tolerance range.
The AIS rate deviation of the ZXMP S385 optical output interface is
within 20 ppm (1 ppm=110-6).
Electrical Interface Specifications

155520 kbit/s STM-1 electrical signals employ the Code Mark Inversion
(CMI). The CMI is an NRZ code with two levels. 2048 kbit/s electrical
signals employ the High Density Bipolar 3 (HDB3) code.

1. Permissible input interface attenuation & frequency deviation, and

output interface signal bit rate allowance
The permissible attenuation of the input interface: The input
interface can still work properly (which is generally judged by no bit
error occur in the equipment) when it receives the signals
attenuated through the standard connection cable.
The permissible attenuation of the ZXMP S385 input interface
satisfies the requirements listed in Table 17.
The permissible frequency deviation: The input interface can still
work properly (which is generally judged by no bit error in the
equipment) when it receives signals within the permissible
frequency deviation range.
The permissible frequency deviation of the ZXMP S385 input
interface satisfies the requirements listed in Table 17.
The bit rate allowance of the output interface signal: It refers to the
difference between the bit rate of actual digital signals and the
specified nominal bit rate. It should not exceed the permissible
difference range of each interface level, that is, the allowance.
The permissible bit rate allowances of the ZXMP S385 output
interface signals are listed in Table 17.

Note: 1ppm=110-6
2. Reflection attenuation of the input/output interface

The difference between the actual impedance and nominal impedance
at the input/output interface will lead to the signal reflection. The
signal reflection should be controlled to a specific range. This
requirement is specified by the reflection attenuation.
The reflection attenuation specifications of the ZXMP S385 electrical

input/output interfaces are listed in Table 18.

3. Anti-interference capability of the input interface

If the impedance mismatches between the digital distribution frame
and digital output interfaces, signal reflection will occur at the interface.
To ensure the proper capability to withstand such signal reflection, the
input interface should satisfy the following requirement:
No bit error occurs when an interfering signal is added to the input

interface. (Interfering signal: It has the same nominal frequency,
allowance and waveform as the main signal, but with different sources.
The ratio of main signals to interfering signals is 18 dB.)
The ZXMP S385 satisfies the above requirement.
4. Output interface waveform

The output interface waveform refers to the signal waveform got from
the test when the test load impedance is specified by the output
interface. Its specifications should comply with the template specified
in the G.703 Recommendation. All the waveforms of the ZXMP S385
output interfaces at different bit rates satisfy the template
requirements.

pass filter, the root mean square (RMS) caused by jitter should be
no more than 0.01 UI.
4. Mapping jitter of PDH tributary

The mapping jitter refers to the jitter generated at the PDH tributary
output interface when the equipment receives non-jitter STM-N signals
without pointer activity. It is the jitter caused by measuring the
mapping process from PDH signals into SDH data streams.
The mapping jitter of the ZXMP S385 PDH tributary interface satisfies
the requirements listed in Table 25.

Clock Specifications
The clock timing and synchronous characteristics include the clock output
jitter, permissible input interface attenuation, permissible input interface
frequency deviation, signal bit rate allowance of the output interface,
output interface waveform, switching of timing reference resources, long-
term phase variation in the clock-lock mode, clock accuracy in the hold
mode, frequency accuracy of the internal oscillator in the free-oscillation
mode.
Timing Principles
The component closest to the SDH network synchronization performance
is the clock unit. ITU-T Recommendations specify three types of clocks:
1. ITU-T G.811 specifies the primary reference clock.

2. ITU-T G.812 specifies slave clocks at different levels.
3. ITU-T G.813 specifies the slave clock of SDH equipment.
All the timings of SDH system should conform to the primary reference
clock (PRC) described in G.811.

Output Jitter
Output jitter: When there is no input jitter, output jitter refers to the jitter
of the clock output interface.
When there is no input jitter, the inherent jitter of the 2 MHZ or 2 MBIT
clock output interface in the ZXMP S385 should not exceed 0.05 UIP-P. The
test is conducted at the time interval of 60 s, using a single pole bandpass
filter with 20 Hz and 100 kHz turnover frequencies.
Permissible Input Interface

Attenuation/Frequency Deviation and
Others
1. Permissible input interface attenuation: The input interface should be
able to work properly when receiving the signals attenuated through
the standard connection cable. Proper working is generally judged by
no bit error or clock lock loss in the equipment.
The permissible input attenuation of the ZXMP S385 satisfies the
following specifications:
The attenuation characteristic introduced by the input interface signal

complies with the frequency square root rule. When using cables with
attenuation range of 0 dB ~ 6 dB, no bit error or clock lock loss occurs
in the equipment.
2. Permissible input interface frequency deviation: When the input

interface receives signals with frequency deviation within the specified
range, it can still work properly. Proper working is generally judged by
no bit error or clock lock loss in the equipment.
The permissible input frequency deviation of the ZXMP S385 satisfies
the following specifications:
When the input interface signal introduces frequency deviation of 4.6

ppm, no bit error or clock lock loss occurs in the equipment.
3. Signal bit rate allowance of the output interface: It refers to the

difference between the bit rate of actual clock signals and the specified
nominal bit rate. It should not exceed the permissible difference range
of each interface level, that is, the allowance.
The signal bit rate allowance of the output interface of the ZXMP S385
is 4.6 ppm.
4. Output interface waveform: It refers to the parameter specifications of

the output signal waveform when the test load impedance specified by
the clock output interface.
The waveform of the ZXMP S385 output interface conforms to the
relevant G.703 templates.
Refer to Figure 14 for the template of 2048 kbit/s clock signal.

Switching of Timing Reference Sources

The ZXMP S385 is equipped with more than one external timing reference
input. When the selected timing reference fails, the SDH equipment can
automatically switch to another timing reference input using the S1 byte.
For 2048 kbit/s external timing source, the timing reference failure refers
to the signal loss of synchronous clock input interface; For the timing
recovery through STM-N line signals, the timing reference failure refers to
the loss of STM-N signals that bear timing signals, or the AIS occurrence.
Long-term Phase Variation in the Clock-

lock Mode
The long-term phase variation in the clock-lock mode refers to the phase
noise generated at the SEC output terminal when there is an ideal input
reference signal. It is generally expressed by the Maximum Time Interval
Error (MTIE) and Time Deviation (TDEV).The ZXMP S385 satisfies the
requirements listed in Table 28, Table 29, and Table 30.

Clock Accuracy in the Hold Mode

Once all the timing references are lost, the SEC will enter the hold mode
after transient phase variation. SEC will use the last frequency information
saved before the timing reference signal is lost as its timing reference. At
the same time, the oscillation frequency of the oscillator will slowly wander,

but can still ensure that SEC frequency only has very small frequency
deviation from the reference frequency in a long time; thus, the slip
impairment will stay within the permissible specification. This mode can be
used to deal with external clock interruption faults lasting for several days.
When SEC loses its reference source and enters the hold mode, the phase
error T between the SEC output signal and SEC input signal should not
exceed the following limit when observation time S is greater than 15 s:
T ( S ) = [ ( a 1 + a 2 ) S + 0 . 5 b S 2 + c ] n s , where
a 1 = 5 0 n s / s , denoting the initial frequency deviation of 510-8.
a 2 = 2 0 0 0 n s / s , denoting the frequency deviation of 210-6, which

is caused by the temperature change when the clock enters the
hold mode. If there is no temperature change, there will be no a 2 S
in the phase error T.
-
b = 1 . 1 6 1 0 - 4 n s / s . It is caused by aging, corresponding to 110
8
/day frequency wander.
c = 1 2 0 n s , including any additional phase deviation that might be
generated during the transition period when entering the hold
mode.
The ZXMP S385 satisfies the above requirements.
Frequency Accuracy of the Internal

Oscillator in the Free-oscillation Mode
The internal oscillator of the SEC works in the free-oscillation mode when
the SEC loses all of the timing references and their memories or the SEC
has no hold mode at all. Its output frequency accuracy must be within a
certain accuracy range.
For a reference that conforms to the G.811, the SEC output frequency
accuracy should be no greater than 4.6 ppm for SDH terminal equipment
working in the free-oscillation mode, and no greater than 20 ppm for REG
equipment.
The ZXMP S385 satisfies all these specifications.

Specifications
1. Basic VLAN Function Specifications
The basic VLAN function refers to the equipment supported function of
the tag-based VLAN that complies with the IEEE 802.1Q Standard.
Through the ZXONM E300 configuration, the ZXMP S385 enhanced
smart Ethernet card supports this function.

2. Trunk Specifications
Trunk means transmitting large-capacity Ethernet services by binding
multiple Ethernet interfaces. The Ethernet interfaces in the same trunk
group have the same VLAN configuration attributes.
3. Number of VLAN IDs

In IEEE 802.1Q Recommendation, a header of four bytes is defined as
the VLAN ID. Each port can belong to multiple VLANs. The range of
VLAN IDs is 1~4094.
The ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet card satisfies this

requirement.
4. VLAN Priority
Under the prerequisite that the QoS function is enabled, when services
from multiple sources are converged at one transmitting port, the port
can transmit these services according to the preset VLAN priorities and
bandwidths corresponding to these priorities. Once the total traffic
exceeds the transmitting bandwidth of the port, the port will drop the
services that have lower priorities and exceed the bandwidth limit, to
ensure the normal transmission of services with higher priorities.
The ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet card supports configuration

of VLAN priority and bandwidth proportion.
Specifications of L2 Layer Switching

1. Maximum and Minimum Frame Lengths
The frame length range of the data frame that the ZXMP S385
enhanced smart Ethernet card can handle is: 64 bytes 9600 bytes.
2. Security Filtering Characteristics

The security filtering characteristics include static MAC address setting
and MAC address filtering.
i. Static MAC address setting
The static address setting means manually adding an MAC address

and the corresponding port information into the MAC address list.
Only the receiving port that is set can receive the data flow
normally without packet loss.
Through the ZXONM E300 configuration, the ZXMP S385 enhanced
smart Ethernet card supports this function.
ii. MAC address filtering
MAC address filtering means manually adding a MAC address, and

filtering the frames that use this MAC address as the
source/destination address. The port that is set cannot receive any
data flow.

With the cooperation of the ZXONM E300 network management

system, the ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet card supports
this function.
3. QoS/Flow Control Specifications
Both the QoS and the flow control are congestion handling methods.
QoS emphasizes the normal operation of standard services to
maximize the bandwidth utilization. The services exceeding the flow
standard are processed by the packet discard method when the flow
requirement cannot be satisfied. While the flow control handles the
congestion by temporarily stopping the transmission of the
transmitting end, thus ensures that the flow is not discarded.
With the cooperation of the ZXONM E300 network management system,
the ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet card supports these two
functions.
4. Convergence Ratio Specifications
Convergence means that services of multiple system interfaces occupy
one user interface bandwidth.
The ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet card can achieve the
convergence ratio of 48:1 at maximum.
5. Two-layer VPN Characteristics

The ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet card supports two-layer VPN
function by Stacked VLAN (Q-in-Q) method.
External Interface Standards

The external interfaces refer to interfaces that connect the ZXMP S385
with other external equipment (such as digital distribution frame). The
ZXMP S385 external interfaces comply with the ITU-T Recommendations.

Card Configuration Description

In the ZXMP S385 system configuration, the components are divided into
two categories: mandatory components and optional components.
1. Mandatory components
i. Backplane
It is the carrier for all the cards. It is mandatory.
ii. Cross-connect/clock card (CSA)
When the system is used as the ADM or TM, the CSA card is
mandatory and it is the core of the system services. Configure two
CSA cards for the standard configuration and they mutually back up
each other. To meet special requirements, the user can configure

one CSA card. For the REG, the CSA card is optional; configure it to
provide OW card with overhead paths.
iii. NE control processor (NCP)
As the system nerve center, it is mandatory. One NCP must be

configured. Configure two NCPs in the case of 1+1 protection
iv. QxI and SCI cards
QxI and SCI cards provide NEs with 1+1 power supply protections.
They are mandatory.
2. Optional components
i. Service card
It is used for system transmission services access, and it is optional.

Configure different service cards according to the specific services.
The slot number and card mechanical size restrict the number of
service cards to be configured.
ii. Order wire card (OW)
It is used to implement the order wire phone and partial overhead

services and is optional. One OW card may be configured according
to the specific user requirements.
Typical NE Configurations
The ZXMP S385 employs the modular design. It can perform functions of
TM, ADM and REG in the same hardware system. The cards can perform
the functions of different systems such as TM, ADM and REG by only
modifying their network management software configuration, without
changing the hardware. Multiple TMs, REGs and ADMs can be implemented
in the same sub-rack. The system equipment types and their applications
in the network are shown in Figure 28.

Application Example
Assume that an optical transmission project needs to use 2.5 Gbit/s SDH
optical transmission equipment for communications of sites A, B, C, and D.
The physical locations of these sites are shown in Figure 32.

FIGURE 32 SITE LOCATIONS

km
mk

km
There are two STM-1 optical signal services respectively between A and B,
A and C, A and D; and fifty 2M services between B and D. The STM-1
services are short-distance services. Order wire communication is available
between sites.
Networking Analysis
1. Determine the equipment and rate.
The network aggregate rate is 2.5 Gbit/s. It is recommended to install
the ZTE ZXMP S385 at the rate of STM-16 at sites A, B, C, and D.
2. Determine the network topology

Determine the network topology according to the sites and services
distributions. Use the ring network as much as possible if the route
allows or the cables and fibers are enough, because the ring network
has good self-healing capability. Hybrid networking can be considered
for complex site distribution.
In this example, recommend to use the ring network according to the

sites geographical locations and service distributions.
3. Determine the protection mode

Configure the ring network to be an STM-16 multiplex section
protection ring to improve the system reliability.
4. Determine the NMS and access NE

Select to install the NMS according to the equipment type. The selected
NMS should be able to ensure unified management of different kinds of
devices in the network as much as possible. The access NE refers to
the NE that accesses the NMS computer. Usually the access NE is
placed at the site where the service traffic is relatively centralized.

Decide whether the connection between the NMS and access NE is local
or remote. In the case of a remote NMS, determine the type of the
communication network.
This example uses the ZXONM E300 as the NMS because the network
is composed of the ZXMP S385. The access NE is placed at site A
where the traffic is the heaviest. The connection between the NMS and
the access NE is local.
5. Determine the clock source and network head NE

Determine the clock source according to the user requirements. The
clock sources include the external clock, line clock, and internal clock.
The network head NE refers to the NE configured as the clock source.
The network synchronization clock is obtained from this NE. Usually,
configure the network head NE and the access NE to be the same NE in
order to make the daily equipment maintenance easy.
In this example, NE A is set as the network head NE, and the clock
source type is internal clock.
The system networking diagram got from the above analysis is shown
in Figure 33.

Structural Part Configuration

1. Cabinet configuration
The ZXMP S385 provides three kinds of cabinets of height 2000 mm,
2200 mm, and 2600 mm respectively. Choose one of them according
to the equipment room circumstances and the service requirements. In
this case, it is assumed that each site is configured with a ZXMP S385
cabinet 2200 mm high.
2. Equipment component configuration

The equipment components include the power distribution box, sub-
rack, fan plug-in box and dustproof unit. The number of equipment
components varies with cabinets. Each 2200 mm cabinet is configured
with one of power distribution box, sub-rack, fan plug-in box and dust-
proof unit respectively.
Fiber Pigtail and Cable Configurations

1. Fiber pigtail configuration
The types of the ZXMP S385 optical interface connectors are all LC/PC.
Configure the fiber pigtail to LC/PC-FC/PC if the optical interface
connector type for the service to be connected is FC/PC; configure the
fiber pigtail to LC/PC-SC/PC if the optical interface connector type for
the service to be connected is SC/PC.
Each optical interface is configured with two fiber pigtails, and the total
number is subject to the actual project requirements.
2. 2 M cable
The EIE1 card of the ZXMP S385 provides 63 channels of 2 M signals,
and the interface is 75 . Therefore, use the 75 unbalanced micro
coaxial cable.
3. Ethernet cable
An Ethernet cable is used to connect an NE and the NMS. Use the
cross-connect Ethernet cable if the NMS and the access NE connect
directly; Use the standard Ethernet cable if the NMS and the access NE
connect via HUB.
4. External power cord and grounding cable

External power cords include two groups of -48 V power cord and -48
V GND power cord. One group connects to the air switch and the other
connects to the -48 V GND binding post of the power distribution box.
The grounding cables include the system working ground cable (GND)
and the lightning protection ground cable (PGND). They connect to the
corresponding grounding busbars in the equipment room.
Note: Refer to Unitrans ZXMP S385 (V1.10) SDH Based Multi-Service Node
Equipment Installation Manual for the detailed specifications of the fiber pigtails
and cables. The lengths of these cables are subject to the project survey data.

Networking Configuration
Networking configurations are implemented by ZXONM E300 NMS. There
are two kinds of typical flows.
1. Create the NE as online

Create an online NE Select the access NE Install cards Connect
the NE Configure the MS protection Configure services
Configure overheads Configure clock sources Configure order
wire Extract the NCP time
2. Create the NE as offline

Create an offline NE Select the access NE Install cards
Connect the NE Configure the MS protection Configure services
Configure overheads Configure clock sources Configure order
wire
After the above configurations, modify the offline NE to be online,

download the NE database, and finally extract the NCP time.
Note: Refer to the ZXONM E300 EMS/SNMS operation manual for the detailed
operations of the networking configuration.
Application Features
In this example, the networking employs the ring network topology, and
the protection method is the two-fiber bidirectional multiplex section
protection ring.
When any site of the ring network fails or the fiber is broken, the service
will not be affected and the transmission will continue by switching to the
protection mode due to the network self-healing function and the hot
backup functions of the critical cards.
The multiplex section protection ring enables the repetitive use of the time
slots in the ring. The maximum service capacity of the ring network can
reach as much as K/2STM-N (K refers to the number of nodes in the ring
network, STM-N is the maximum rate of the ring network). Thus the
maximum service capacity of this networking example is 2STM-16.
This networking mode is applicable to the transmission backbone networks

with scattered nodes (sites) and high service reliability requirements.
