Dust-Proof Unit
The dust-proof unit is used for cleanness inside the sub-rack. If dust is
accumulated, heat dissipation performance of the equipment will be
affected. The appearance of the dust-proof unit is shown in Figure 10. 285H
FIGURE 10 STRUCTURE OF DUST-PROOF UNIT
1. Rear lug 2. Frame 3. Dust-proof plate 4. Panel 5 Dust-proof label

As shown in Figure 10, the panel of the dust-proof unit is pasted with the
286H
label which prompts cleaning of the dust-proof unit.
Attention: The dust-proof unit will adsorb dust during the running of the ZXMP
S385, so it is necessary to clean the dust filter periodically to guarantee good
ventilation and heat dissipation.
Ventilation Unit
If two sub-racks are configured in a single cabinet, a ventilation unit must
be installed at the bottom of each sub-rack.
The ventilation unit installed at the bottom of the upper sub-rack is used
to input cool air from the cabinet front and prevent the hot air of the lower
sub-rack from entering the upper sub-rack, and thus ensuring heat
dissipation of the upper sub-rack.
The ventilation unit installed at the bottom of the lower sub-rack is used to
input cool air from the cabinet front and prevent the dust at the cabinet
bottom from entering the cabinet, lest the dust blocks the filter.
Its structure is shown in Figure 11.

287H
FIGURE 11 STRUCTURE OF VENTILATION UNIT
1. Rear lug 2. Frame 3. Panel
A mounting lug is designed at the back of the ventilation unit, with captive
screws for fixing the ventilation unit into the equipment cabinet. The
ventilation unit is only necessary in dual sub-rack configuration.
Power Distribution Box

Installed in the upper part of the ZXMP S385 cabinet, the power
distribution box is used to receive active and standby external power
supplies. After making filtering and lightning protection to the external

power supplies, it distributes 6 pairs of active power and 6 pairs of

standby power to the sub-racks.
The dimensions of the power distribution box are introduced in Table 8. 28H
Its structure is shown in Figure 12.

A power distribution box provides two groups of connection terminals
for direct access of the -48 V power supply. Each group of terminals
covers -48 V, -48 V GND and PGND. By default, the left side is for the
active power input and the right side is for the standby power input.
2. Active and standby power areas of sub-rack
A power distribution box can provide 6 pairs of active power and 6
pairs of standby power at the same time. Each pair composed of -48 V,
-48 V GND, and PGND, and controlled by the air switch. Such groups of
power provide 1+1 power supply protection for the sub-racks inside
the cabinet.
3. Alarm indicator card (LED)
It is used to display the alarms of the equipment cabinet and
synchronous with alarm indicators on the alarm panel of the equipment
cabinet. There are green, yellow and red indicators, which respectively
indicate normal power supply, common alarm and severe alarm of the
equipment. The LED card is designed with 6 alarm indicator/ring
driving sockets (DB9 (hole) socket), as shown in Figure 13. The related
290H
signal definitions are shown in Table 10. These sockets can be used to
291H

NE Control Processor (NCP)

It provides the equipment NE management function, serving as the
system NE-class monitoring center.
Overview
The NCP is connected with the Manager upwardly and the cards
monitoring information downwardly, capable of longitude and horizontal
real-time processing and communication. It can collect NE management
information and briefly control/manage the NE, when the Manager is not
connected.
NE management functions of NCP:
1. Completing initial NE configuration

2. Receiving and analyzing EMS commands
3. Sending commands to the cards through communication port for the
corresponding operations
4. Forwarding messages reported by the cards to the EMS
5. Controlling alarm output of the equipment and monitoring external
alarm input
6. Implementing hard resetting or soft resetting to the cards, with the
cooperation of EMS
The NCP supports 1+1 protection, which is implemented through
configuration of two NCPs. When the system configures two NCP cards
and they both work normally, both NCP cards work at the same time, but
the standby one only receives the data and does not transmit data to the
outside. Once the active NCP card works abnormally, the standby one
turns into the active one.
The NCP card supports remote upgrade of the card software.
Functions and Principle

The function diagram of the NCP card is shown in Figure 17. The functions

Cross-Connect and Clock Card

(CSA) and Synchronous Clock
Interface Card (SCI)
As the functional core of the entire system, the CSA card implements
service cross-connect and interworking of multiple services, protection
switching of 1:N PDH service card/data service card and network
synchronization.
The SCI (SCIH or SCIB) provides external reference clock interface for the
CSA card.
Overview
The CSA and SCI cards compose the service cross-connect unit, overhead
cross-connect unit and clock unit of the system.
1. The service cross-connect unit is divided into space-division cross-

connect unit and time-division cross-connect unit, implementing
service cross-connect and protection switching. The CSA card
implements the functions of the service cross-connect unit.
The CSA has a space-division switching capacity of 25656 VC-4s.
Where, 224224 VC-4s are allocated to the space-division cross-
connect unit of the system, and the other 32 32 VC-4s are allocated
to the time-division cross-connect service unit.
2. The overhead cross-connect unit exchanges and transmits such
information as overhead and alarm between system cards. The CSA
card has the overhead cross-connect capacity of 4096 4096 64 kbit.
3. The clock unit completes system timing and network synchronization.
The target of network synchronization is to control the frequency and
phase of each node clock within a preset tolerance range to implement
correct and effective transmission and switching of digital streams on
the network and avoid slip damage to transmission data due to
asynchronous clocks. The functions of the clock unit are implemented
through cooperation of CSA and SCI.

unit requirement
1. The interface signals on the CSA card consist of service signals and
overhead bus signals.
2. After the control unit of the card is powered on and initialized, the card
communicates with NCP to acquire property configuration and other
information, and then initializes the cross-connect matrix.
3. After frame synchronization processing, the signals coming from the
line card undergo equivalent VC-4 space-division cross-connect and
time-division cross-connect along with the signals coming from the
time-division unit, so that the data that need time-division processing
are sent to the time-division cross-connect unit for time-division cross-
connect processing, and the rest data are returned to the line after
cross-connect as required.
4. After being multiplexed, the SDH overhead signals of the card enter
CSA card through the overhead bus to implement the cross-connect of
the overhead.
5. For sub-network connection protection involving multi-directional
service combinations, the switching operation is implemented
according to the alarm detected by the CSA card.
6. The control unit performs such functions as alarm detection, inter-card
communication and temperature detection.

The functions and principle of the E1 tributary subsystem are described

1. Transmitting direction
i. The dual-bus selection/serial-parallel conversion unit receives the
active/standby STM-4 service bus from the mother card, performs
serial-parallel conversion to it and selects a channel to enter the
overhead/pointer processing unit, for the sake of processing SOH,
path overhead and high-order pointer.
ii. The overhead/pointer processing unit converts the STM-4 signals
into four channels of VC-4 signals which can be directly processed
by the mapping/de-mapping unit.
iii. The time-division cross-connect unit crosses the working tributary
signals which protect each other to two channels of VC-4 signals,
and sends them to the mapping/de-mapping unit for processing.
iv. Depending on the configuration, the signals goes through the de-
mapping will be processed by the tributary retiming unit or not.
After that, they enter the access unit, which converts them into 63
channels of E1 signals for output. Depending on the configuration,
E1 output signals will have the 1:N protection of the tributary
signals or not.
2. Receiving direction
i. The 63 channels of tributary signals from the tributary interfaces
are processed by the interface unit and then enter the mapping/de-
mapping unit. After that, they are converted into the VC-4 signals.
Depending on the configuration, the clocks which need tributary are
extracted or not. After the frequency division, they are sent to the
CSA card.
ii. After delay cascading, pointer justification, high-order POH
processing, SOH processing, multiplexing, and serial-parallel
conversion, the mapped VC-4 signals are converted into STM-4
signals, which are then transmitted to the active/standby CSA
cards for processing.

order from top down.
Optical Amplifier (OA) Card

Depending on the position, the OA cards of the ZXMP S385 are divided
into be OBA and OPA.
Overview
The OA card of ZXMP S385 is to extend the transmission distance through
amplifying the optical power of the 1550 nm wavelength, and to provide
the transparent transmission channel for the optical signals. The data rate
falls into 2.5 Gbit/s, 622 Mbit/s and 155 Mbit/s.
The connection relation between the OA card and other optical line cards is
shown in Figure 36.

Each OA card provides a pair of optical interfaces. As shown in Figure 36, 37H
the 1550 nm optical signals output by the eastward optical card enter the
OA card. After amplifying, these signals are output to the receiving of the
westward optical card.
Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) is the core part of the OA card,
which will be described below.
If some elements, such as erbium and praseodymium, are doped in the

optical fiber, they produce the effect of amplifying the laser at certain
wavebands. The EDFA amplifier implements the optical amplification
function by the mutual interaction between the optical signals within 1550
nm area and the radiant ions excited in the erbium doped fiber.
Gain medium (erbium doped fibers of different types), pump source,

passive optical devices (optical isolator, optical multiplexer, optical de-
multiplexer, optical connector), control unit and control interface are the
basic components of the EDFA. Among them, the optical isolator prevents
the backward light in the optical channel from affecting EDFA. The fiber
connector facilitates the connection between EDFA, the communication
system and the optical fiber line. The optical coupler takes out some from
the input and output optical channel and sends them to the optical monitor.
In the application, EDFA is generally classified into Booster Amplifier (BA),

Pre-Amplifier (PA), and Optical Relay Amplifier (LA) according to the
position and effect. BA, located at the transmitting end of the system, is
used to boost the transmitting power of the system and to extend the
distance of the repeater. PA, located at the receiving end of the system, is
used to amplify the weak transmitted signals and to boost the input power
of the system receiver. LA, located in the middle of the optical fiber line of
the system, is used to replace the optical regenerative repeater.
At present, the ZXMP S385 provides both OBA and OPA, which have the
same appearance. The NCP card reports the card type to the EMS by
identifying module. OBA card and OPA card each occupies two slots.

The functions of the OA card are shown in Figure 37. The functions of the

transmission system on the 1550 nm working window, amplifying

status of the pump and the input/output optical power in real time.
When the amplifier works abnormally, the corresponding alarm

The pump will be automatically shut down when there is no light.
The alarm of EDFA is reported in the form of performance.

2-Channel Transparent
Transmission 1000 M Ethernet
Card TGE2B
The TGE2B card is used to transparently transmit 2-channel 1000 M
Ethernet data at the user side to the SDH side.
Overview
The TGE2B card serves to receive 2 channels of 1000 N Ethernet signals
from the user side and make the corresponding encapsulation protocol
processing, to map them to the VC-3/VC-4 actual/virtual cascading group,
which will be sent to the MB after pointer and overhead regeneration. The
transmitting direction is reverse to the above process.
The principle and application samples of the adaptation between Ethernet

data and SDH data are briefly introduced below.
1. Adaptation process between Ethernet data and SDH data

To be mapped to the SDH data, the Ethernet data go through
encapsulation via PPP/LAPS/GFP. After rate adaptation, such data are
converted into the SDH frames. If a service need be dropped to the
user side from the system side, a reverse process will be implemented.
The whole adaptation process is shown in Figure 39. 342H

frame and maps it to the SDH Virtual Container (VC), and then multiplexes
the VC mapping to service bus, which will be sent to the CSA card.
Transmitting direction: The card receives the service bus and clock bus
from the CSA card, and then sends them into the mapping module and MB
interface module respectively. The mapping module implements de-
mapping, de-multiplexing and de-encapsulation of SDH frame data, to
convert the SDH frame data into the Ethernet data frame. After the
processing on the Ethernet control module, the data are transmitted by
the Ethernet optical module.
As shown in Figure 41, the TGE2B card has two service buses, two
347H
overhead buses and two clock buses. Both service buses and overhead
buses adopt the logical principle that the signals are transmitted through
both but the line with better performance will be received. The clock bus
will be selected according to card-in-position signal and the active signal of
the CSA card.
The functions of the modules involved in the function diagram of the

TGE2B card are described below:
1. Ethernet optical module: It is the 1000 M Ethernet optical

receiving/transmitting module, corresponding to two 1000 M Ethernet
interfaces. It is designed into the SEP pluggable/un-pluggable optical
module. It can be compatible with single-mode optical module or
multi-mode optical module as required.
2. Ethernet control module: It implements the processing of Ethernet
MAC layer. At the receiving side, it implements data frame
extraction/verification, traffic control detection and serial-parallel
conversion, and sends the processed data into the mapping module. At
the transmitting side, it implements generation of data frame preamble,
regeneration verification, traffic control generation and serial-parallel
conversion, and sends the processed data into the Ethernet optical
module. The control module supports the IEEE 802.3 traffic control,
automatic negotiation and statistics management functions.

Chapter 3 - Cards
3. Mapping module: It implements conversion between Ethernet data

frame and SDH frame, POH byte processing (involving PPP/LAPS/GTP
encapsulation and de-encapsulation, mapping/de-mapping of
actual/virtual cascading, and LCAS processing), and then converts the
payload data in the SDH frame into the service bus for transmission to
the CSA card.
i. Data conversion
The mutual conversation between Ethernet data frame and SDH
frame involves receiving/transmitting of Ethernet data frame,
protocol encapsulation/de-encapsulation, and mapping/de-mapping
and multiplexing/de-multiplexing of SDH frame.
The conversion process is shown in Figure 38. In the encapsulation,
348H
The Ethernet data at any system port can be mapped into the
actual/virtual cascading groups composed of 1 ~ 8 VC-4s or 1 ~ 24
VC-3s (the minimum bandwidth is 1 VC-3; the maximum
bandwidth is up to 8 VC-4s).
Two Ethernet interfaces (at user side) and two system interface (at
SDH side) correspond to each other, without L2 switching function.
ii. POH byte processing
The POH byte processing involves extraction and insertion of the
H4, C2 and J1 bytes. C2 and J1 are the high-order path label byte
and path trace byte. H4 is the LCAS protocol processing byte.
4. LCAS (Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme) protocol processing module:
Only when the system port is in virtual cascading mode, you can select
to use this module or not.
If the LCAS protocol is enabled, once the path in the virtual cascading
group is detected as damaged, this path is automatically discarded and
the bandwidth automatically decreases. In this way, the virtual
cascading service is prevented from interruption. Once the service is
resumed, the damaged path can automatically return to the former
virtual cascading group.
The LCAS protocol uses the LCAS control packet to synchronize
changes of source end (the equipment requesting for bandwidth
adjustment) and destination end (the equipment confirming bandwidth
adjustment). The physical path of packets is H4 byte multiplex frame.
The LCAS protocol processing module receives the H4 bytes extracted
by the mapping module, converts them and then sends them to the
MCU. In the reverse direction, it receives the data related to the LCAS
protocol from the MCU, converts them and sends them to the mapping
module, to insert them into the corresponding SDH OPH bytes.
5. MB interface module: It receives the overhead bus and click bus
selection sent from the CSA card, and then sends them to the mapping
module.
6. MCU: As the control unit of the TGE2B card, it communicates with the
NCP card through the S interface and ECC path, to implement such
functions as LCAS protocol processing, card self-test and initialization
configuration.

Enhanced Smart Ethernet

Processing Card (SEC)
The ZXMP S385 provides two kinds of SEC cards: SECx48 and SECx24.
The SECx48 card can implement the convergence ratio of 48:1. The
SECx24 card can implement the convergence ratio of 24:1.
The SEC card accesses 10 M/100 M and 1000 M adaptive Ethernet services,
transfers L2 data, maps Ethernet data to SDH data, and provides 1:N
protection of 10M /100 M electrical services.
The SEC card provides only one 1000M Ethernet interface. The 10 M/100
M Ethernet interface is provide by the interface card/interface switching
card. Through replacement of interface card/interface switching card, 10
M/100 M optical interface or electrical interface can be provided.
The SEC card cooperates with interface switching card and interface bridge
card for implementing the 1:N (N 4) tributary protection of 10 M/100 M
electrical service. .
The services and configurations implemented by the SEC card are listed in
Table 29.

Attention: In the 1:N protection of the 10 M/100 M Ethernet electrical service, the
1000 M Ethernet interface can not be used in the protected SECx48/SECx24 card.
Otherwise, the 1000 M Ethernet service will be interrupted upon switching of the
10 M/100 M Ethernet electrical service.
Overview
The SEC card provides 8 10 M/100 M Ethernet interfaces and 1 1000 M
Ethernet interface at the user side, and 48/24 10 M/100 M Ethernet
interfaces at the system side (implementing the convergence ratio up to
48:1). The bandwidth at the system side is 1.25 G or 622 M.
The SEC card serves to receive Ethernet data frames from the user side,
performs L2 switching, and sends them to the interface at the system side
according to the learning and searching results. After making
encapsulation protocol processing to the Ethernet frames of this interface,
it maps them to the VC-3/VC-4 actual/virtual cascading group. After
pointer and overhead regeneration, such data are sent to the system MB.
The transmitting direction is reverse to the above process.
The principle and application samples of the adaptation between Ethernet

data and SDH data of the SEC card are briefly introduced below.
1. Adaptation process between Ethernet data and SDH data of SEC card
When the Ethernet data are mapped to the SDH data, they go through
the PPP/GEP encapsulation and rate adaptation, and then converted
into the SDH frames. If a service needs to be dropped to the user side
from the system side, the data processing is implemented through a
process reverse to the above process. The whole adaptation process is
shown in Figure 43.

The functions of each module of the card are described below:
1. 10 M/100 M Ethernet processing module: It makes the FE interface

available, through the interface card or interface switching card. It can
provide 8 optical/electrical interfaces. The electrical interface supports
10 M/100 M auto-negotiation, full-duplex/semi-duplex working mode,
and 1:N (N 4) protection. The optical interface uses the SFP optical
module, supporting 100 M rate and full-duplex/semi-duplex working
mode.
2. 1000 M Ethernet processing module: It accesses one 1000 M adaptive
Ethernet service. The 1000 M Ethernet interface only supports the
optical interface, adopting SFP optical module.
3. Ethernet switching module: It performs blockless switching between
the 10 M/100 M and 1000 M Ethernet interfaces and 10 M/100 M
interface at the system side, to implement such functions as VLAN,
traffic control, and MAC address learning. It can provide 24/48 system
interfaces.
4. Mapping/de-mapping module: It maps Ethernet service to SDH and de-
maps SDH to Ethernet service. It supports damage-free LCAS, PPP/GFP
encapsulation, virtual cascading mapping, SDH SOH and POH
processing, and SDH timeslot cross-connect.
i. Data conversion
The mutual conversation between Ethernet data frame and SDH
frame involves receiving/transmitting of Ethernet data frame,
protocol encapsulation/de-encapsulation, and mapping/de-mapping
and multiplexing/de-multiplexing of SDH frame.
In the encapsulation, The Ethernet data at any system port can be
mapped into the virtual cascading groups composed of 1 ~ 63 VC-
12s, 1 ~ 3 VC-3s or 1 VC-4 (the minimum bandwidth is 1 VC-12;
the maximum bandwidth is up to 100 M).
ii. POH byte processing
The POH byte processing involves extraction and insertion of the
H4, C2 and J1 bytes of VC-3/VC-4, and of V5, K4 and J2 bytes of
VC-12. C2 and J1 are the high-order path label byte and path trace

Chapter 3 - Cards
byte. H4 is the high-order VC LCAS protocol processing byte. Some

of the V5 bytes and J2 byte are the low-order path label bytes and
path trace byte. K4 is the low-order VC LCAS protocol processing
byte.
iii. LCAS protocol processing
LCAS can be used or not, depending on the system port.
If the LCAS protocol is enabled, once the path in the virtual
cascading group is detected as damaged, this path is automatically
discarded and the bandwidth automatically decreases. In this way,
the virtual cascading service is prevented from interruption. Once
the service is resumed, the damaged path can automatically return
to the former virtual cascading group.
The LCAS protocol uses the LCAS control packet to synchronize
changes of source end (the equipment requesting for bandwidth
adjustment) and destination end (the equipment confirming
bandwidth adjustment). The physical path of packets is H4 byte or
K4 byte multiplex frame.
The LCAS protocol processing module receives the H4/K4 bytes
extracted by the mapping module, converts them and then sends
them to the MCU. In the reverse direction, it receives the data
related to the LCAS protocol from the MCU, converts them and
sends them to the mapping module, to insert them into the
corresponding SDH OPH bytes.
5. MCU: It communicates with the NCP card, for the sake of such
functions as card self-test, initialization configuration, and
performance/alarm collection.
