2 Introduction, Application
The synchronous line equipment SLD16/SLT16 forms part of the TransXpress product
line and belongs to the synchronous SL16 series 2 line system. It is suitable for both the
transmission of Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) signals and plesiochronous sig-
nals.
Signals with a bit rate of 2.5 Gbit/s are transmitted on the line side. A single mode optical
fiber in the wavelength range of 1300 nm or 1500 nm is used as the transmission medi-
um. The optical line signal is an STM-16 signal of the synchronous digital hierarchy. The
basic properties of the synchronous digital hierarchy are defined in ITU-T Recommen-
dation G.707 (03/96).
On the tributary side, depending on the equipping, there are interfaces available for
– electrical 140-Mbit/s (PDH) signals and/or electrical STM-1 (SDH) signals and
– optical STM-1-, STM-4- and STM-16 signals.
For Siemens’ optical multiwavelength system WL there are other special types of equip-
ment available (see Chapter 10). With these, the specific wavelength is selected accord-
ing to ITU-T Recommendation G.mcs.
2.1 Network Applications

With the various SLD, SLT and SLR equipment of the synchronous line system
SL16 series 2 (see Chapter 3), path and ring network structures can be implemented.
In addition to the various network applications, there is also protection switching con-
tained, which is explained in Chapter 5.2.
2.1.1 Line Network (Chains)

When using common routes such as railway lines, oil and gas lines for example, the line
equipment is switched in chains. In this way, a line network is obtained. All configuration
types of the line system are suitable for this network structure. When spanning very
large distances in scarcely populates areas, the SLR16 line regenerator allows particu-
larly cost-effective solutions.
An example for using a line network with SL equipment is shown in Fig. 2.1.

2.1.2 Ring Network

The bidirectional self-healing ring is an elegant and efficient network topology for many
applications in modern transmission systems. When compared with the unidirectional
ring, the bidirectional ring has particular advantages, such as providing the shortest con-
nections between the nodes (SLD16), the small number of network elements involved
in a connection and more efficient use of ring capacity.
The synchronous fiber-optic system allows such ring topologies, including the associat-
ed self-healing ring protection switching mechanisms, in 2-fiber and 4-fiber rings.
With the SLD16 Add/Drop line multiplexers it is possible to implement ring structures of
SL networks or also combinations of ring and line networks. Fig. 2.2 shows an example
of a ring network with a branching line.

Usage of Concatenation
Fig. 2.4 shows the usage of concatenation in a virtual traffic ring consisting of SLD16
devices equipped with OIS16 modules and OIS4-2 modules.
In Fig. 2.4 an example for contiguous concatenation on line- and tributary side is shown.
In this case the ring has to be equipped completely with OIS16-2 modules, no FEC is
allowed in the ring.

3 System Overview
The SL16 series 2 fiber optic (FO) system has been designed as a modular system and
can therefore be adapted flexibly to different requirements as they occur in local, region-
al and long-haul networks.
The following products belong to the FO system SL16:
– Synchronous Add/Drop line multiplexer SLD16 (single row)
– Synchronous Add/Drop line multiplexer SLD16E (double row)
– Synchronous line terminal SLT16 (single row)
– Synchronous line terminal SLT16E (double row)
– Synchronous line regenerator SLR16
– Rack for housing the line equipment
To operate the SL equipment, an LCT or NCT operating terminal is needed.
This documentation deals with the synchronous Add/Drop line multiplexer SLD16 and
i SLD16E as well as the synchronous line terminals SLT16 and SLT16E. The synchro-
nous line regenerator SLR16 is described in a separate document.
Fig. 3.1 shows an overview of the hardware and software components used in SL
equipment.
See Chapter 6.3 for detailed information about the network element types and configu-
ration possibilities such as number of modules to be equipped.

both computers, but because of the different applications we recommend a notebook for
the LCT and a desktop PC for the NCT.

SLD/T16-2.5
Two software types matching the hardware types are available – LCT software and NCT
software – in which case the last-mentioned includes the LCT software package. There-
fore, the operating terminals with the installed NCT software can be operated in either
LCT or NCT mode.
The decision between LCT and NCT mode is made on installing the corresponding vari-
ants of the gateway software NE-UniGATE or on startup (see customer documentation
of gateway software UniGATE).
The LCT mode allows access to the local network element when it is connected via the
Q-F interface. When connecting via the Q-B3 interface up to two network elements of a
given address range can be called up at the same time (without the possibility of a
graphical network view).
The NCT mode (connecting via the Q-B3 interface) allows all alarms to be monitored
which were reported by the network element to be reached in each case. A background
bitmap can be allocated to each communication channel (preferably a map) which al-
lows the network elements to be positioned according to their geographical position.

4 Network Elements, Configuration Types

Two different NE types are available (see also Chapter 6.3) for implementing the con-
figuration types (network elements) as described below. The backplane EPROM of the
subrack and the SCU module of the equipment contain information about the used NE
type. This data may be read-out by using an operating terminal or a management sys-
tem.
With NE type SLD16, either an SLD16 or SLT16 network element can be configured and
i with NE type SLD16E either an SLD16E or SLT16E.
4.1 Synchronous Add/Drop Line Multiplexer SLD16,

Synchronous Line Terminal SLT16
Add/Drop line multiplexer SLD16 has two line interfaces for optical 2.5-Gbit/s signals
(STM-16) for which protection switching is optionally offered. It can also be equipped
with tributary interfaces for up to 32 x 155-Mbit/s or 140-Mbit/s signals.
The SLD16 can be used for ring and chain applications.
Line terminal SLT16 is an equipment variant with only one line interface or, in the case
of line protection switching, two line interfaces. In principle, SLT16 uses the same sub-
rack and modules as the synchronous Add/Drop line multiplexer SLD16 so that SLD16
can be re-equipped at any time.
Fig. 4.1 shows the basic functional structure (shown without line protection switching)
of both the SLD16 and SLT16 configuration types with the cross-connect-matrix for the
VC-4 connection possibility within SLD16 and SLT16 in a typical equipment.
In addition to the modules for the transmission of payload signals (line and tributary
modules, switching network module SNL), the clock pulse supply module Clock Unit
Line CLL, in which the clock pulse module is housed, the central control and monitoring
module SCU and the overhead access module OHA are shown.
For conversion of the T3/T4 clock signal from 2048 kbit/s to 2048 kHz and vice versa an
i external Clock Line Adapter CLA can be used. In this case the SL device must be
equipped with Clock Unit Line CLL64-2 instead of CLL.
The telemetry interface TIF represents an interface for external signaling.

Conversion to optical/electrical signals (and vice versa) is taken over by the optical in-
terface module OIS16 in the STM-16 transmission route.
The optical receiver of the bi-directional, optical interface module OIS16 converts the in-
coming STM-16 signal to an electrical signal by using an avalanche photodiode (APD).
In the 1300 nm wavelength range are used for this purpose quaternary photodiodes.
The receivers stand out because of their very high dynamic range so that planning for
and storing of spare parts are made easier to a considerable extent.
If required, optical preamplifiers OP and optical boosters OB can be used; there is also
the option of cascading these.
The electrical STM-16 signal is converted to an internal ISDH signal on the VC-4 plane
(16 x STM-1). The VC-4 signals are relayed to the switching unit module SNL of the sys-
tems which forms the central element with the blocking-free interconnection of the line
and tributary signals in the VC-4 plane. The SNL allows connections between line and
line, line and tributary and between two tributaries.

SLD/T16-2.5
In the tributary area a typical interface module is shown in each case along with its ports.
There is a choice of tributary interface module with either four electrical STM-1 /
140-Mbit/s interfaces, four optical STM-1-interfaces or one optical STM-4-interface:
– EIPS1, STM-1el/140 Mbit/s: Each module has four bidirectional STM-1el/140-Mbit/s
interfaces which can be programmed individually for the desired bit rate.
– OIS1, STM-1 optical: Each module has four bidirectional optical STM-1 interfaces.
– OIS4, STM-4: Each module has one bidirectional STM-4 interface.
The incoming signal is regenerated in the tributary interface module (with optical tribu-
tary signals optical/electrical conversion is undertaken first), the overhead is decoupled
and the signal is converted into an internal ISDH signal (VC4) (Optical STM-4 tributary
signals are initially demultiplexed from the STM-4 level to the STM-1 level). The VC-4
containers are transferred to the SNL, from where they are passed on to a line interface
module OIS16 or to a further tributary module EIPS1.
In the transmit direction the VC-4 signals selected by the SNL are scrambled after inclu-
sion of the section overhead. Where the STM-4/16 is involved, the signals are converted
at the STM-4/16 level. In the optical modules this is followed by electrical/optical conver-
sion; for the electrical tributary modules CMI scrambling is performed.
For the line interface modules, the system can be configured in such a way that the dif-
ferent ring and line protection switchings are supported. This takes place by allocating
two interfaces which are housed on various modules and therefore function as operating
and protection interface. To increase the availability of equipment, some modules
(OIS16, SNL, EIPS1 and CLL) can also have card protection facilities (see also Chapter
5.2).
4.2 Synchronous Add/Drop Line Multiplexer SLD16E,

Synchronous Line Terminal SLT16E
Compared with Add/Drop line multiplexer SLD16, Add/Drop line multiplexer SLD16E
has approximately twice the number of slots and an extended functionality. The double
row subrack SLD16E can also be equipped as line terminal SLT16E.
Add/Drop line multiplexer SLD16E has four line interfaces for optical 2.5-Gbit/s sig-
nals (STM-16) for which protection switching is optionally offered. It can also be
equipped with tributary interfaces for up to 32 x 155-Mbit/s or 140-Mbit/s signals.
The SLD16E can be used for ring and chain applications.
Line terminal SLT16E is an equipment variant with only two line interfaces. In principle,
SLT16E uses the same subrack and modules as the synchronous Add/Drop multiplexer
SLD16E so that SLD16E equipping can be changed at any time. The same modules
which are used in SLD16 and SLT16 are also used in this device. This equipment also
offers STM-16 interfaces on the tributary side as well as expanded protection switching
options.
Fig. 4.2 shows the simplified functional overview of a typical SLD16E network element
with the main, internal connections and optional 2-fiber ring protection switching for 2
lines (MS-BSHR/2) (when configuring as line terminal SLT16E without the grayed out
part of the circuit).

noise voltages and interferences, each module is equipped with a supply voltage line
filter. To protect the other modules against noise pulses when fitting and removing, each
module is provided with a slow start device.

SLD/T16-2.5
The optical transmitter in which the laser module is housed controls the threshold value,
modulation and temperature of the laser. These parameters are transmitted via the spe-
cial PCU (Peripheral Control Unit) to the SCU module. The laser safety shutdown cor-
responds to the ITU-T Recommendation G.958 to avoid personal injury in the case of
fiber break.
Standard types or III/V-APD types are used as receiving diodes. A customer-specific
transimpedance amplifier is used which has a limiting amplifier with differential output
and a band limiting filter connected behind it. To increase the amplification factor, a sec-
ond differential amplifier is used. A control circuit monitors the amplitude of this 2.5-
Gbit/s signal and controls the APD bias current.
The optical input and output performance is monitored. Access takes place via the Q-F
or Q-B3 interface of the SCU module. The APD and the laser temperature are also mon-
itored.
The optical connectors are on the front of the module. Depending on the adapter used,
fibers with E2000, DIN, FC/PC or SC connectors can be attached.
After the optical/electrical conversion, the incoming STM-16 signal is descrambled and
converted in the demultiplexer on the VC-4 plane (16 x STM-1). The Section Overhead
is then decoupled. The total traffic related to the Overhead Bytes B1, B2, B3, J1, K1, K2,
C1 is processed in the module. The remaining Overhead Bytes including the data bytes
D1 to D12 are relayed to the bus systems OH bus/DCC bus.
The VC-4 signals are transmitted using the ISDH bus to the SNL module.
In the transmission direction, the VC-4 signals (ISDH) are received by the SNL module
and the Section Overhead is then coupled from the OH bus, the signals are converted
in the multiplexer on the STM-16 plane and transmitted to the laser module.

The Optical Preamplifier OP is an optical amplifier, doing the optically pre-amplification
of the low-noise optical input signal on its route to the receiver of the optical interface
module OIS. The Optical Preamplifier works in the wavelength range between 1530 nm
and 1560 nm and requires an HRL connector (high-return loss).

The Optical Preamplifier module can be operated in the subrack in any tributary slot or
in a slot specifically provided for the optical amplifier modules. The connection to the cor-
responding optical receiver interface is established within the subrack using FO connec-
tions.
Optical amplification is achieved by an optical fiber amplifier (erbium-doped fiber ampli-
fier EDFA) which works with a pump laser light in the wavelength range of 980 nm. For
standard amplifications, Single Pump Lasers are available and for High Power amplifi-
cation Double-Pump-Lasers are used. The amplifier circuit contains the sensors needed
to monitor the input and output signal and the pump diode signal parameters.
A closed-loop control circuit on the module allows the following functions:
– Stabilizing the laser output performance by amplification control,
– Laser safety shutdown together with disconnecting the transmission input signal,
– Pump laser safety shutdown in case of hardware faults
– Monitoring functions within the ADC interface for the module-internal “peripheral
control unit PCU”.
The PCU (Peripheral Control Unit) is appropriate for module management functions
such as start procedures, disconnecting in the case of module faults and maintenance
alarms.

The transmission properties of the optical line are determined by the output performance

The VC-4 switching unit module SNL carries out the switching functions on the VC-4
plane between the payload signal interfaces.
It allows connections between
– line and line,
– line and tributary
– as well as between tributaries.
Uni- and bidirectional connections are also supported such as drop and continue traffic.
The integrated PCU takes over monitoring and control of the complete module.
Two SNL modules can be equipped for protection switching purposes. They are con-
nected with the optical interface modules on the West and East line sides, the tributary
interface modules, the two CLL modules for the T0 system clock pulse and the SCU for
control. In the case of failure, the operating SNL automatically changes over to the pro-
tection SNL.

the Central Switching Matrix and the ISDHS of the STM-16 line interfaces only with
the two switching units of the pre-switching matrix.
Each OIS16 module is connected with the two pre-switching ASICs in which case
the uneven channel numbers are connected to the first line ASIC and the even chan-
nel numbers to the second line ASIC.
The IMTS macro which selects the T0 system clock pulse is present in all three
switching ASICs.
– The Peripheral Control Unit PCU sends commands coming from the SCU to the
Switching Matrix and vice versa module alarms to the SCU.

4.3.3.7 Electrical Interface Plesiochronous/Synchronous

140 Mbit/s/STM-1 (EIPS1) Module
The EIPS1 module is an interface module for electrical tributaries. An LTU (Line Termi-
nation Unit) interface module is allocated to each EIPS1 which contains the external in-
terface connections.
EIPS1 module protection switching can be configured in the SLD16 and in the SLD16E.
This will also require the modules EIPS Backup Switch Line (EBSL) and interface mod-
ule Power Supply Unit Tributary Protection (PSUTP).
Fig. 4.11 shows a possible protection switching configuration using Add/Drop-Line Mul-
tiplexer SLD16 as an example. Up to eight EIPS1 modules with a transmission capacity
of 4 x STM-1 / 140 Mbit/s in each case can be equipped here, in which case four EIPS1
modules are sufficient to utilize the transmission capacity of the line side if no additional
processing capacity (extra traffic) will be needed.
An EIPS1 module equipped in tributary slot #8 can operate
– as a normal EIPS1 working module or
– as an EIPS1 protection module for (1:n) protection switching
(where n = 1, ..., 7) with or without additional transmission capacity. In the latter case
this EIPS1 transmits the additional capacity and in the case of a fault takes over
transmission from a faulty EIPS1 working module in one of slots #1 to #7.
The PCU of the EIPS1 protection module controls the switch settings of the related in-
terface modules LTU and of module EBSL. On lines X (see Fig. 4.11) the signals of four
tributary ports will be transmitted between the LTUs and the EIPS1 modules in each
case. If there is a fault on an EIPS1 working module (#1 to #7) its signals will be diverted
using switch A of the LTU to line Y. In this case module EBSL looks after the connection
between line Y and line S and switch B of LTU #8 establishes the connection to EIPS1
#8 via line X.
The EIPS1 module contains 4 bidirectional interfaces (port 1 to 4). These can operate
independently in both the SDH (STM-1) and PDH mode (140 Mbit/s). The selected
mode for a port always applies to both signal directions.
Fig. 4.12 shows the basic mode of operation of the EIPS1 module using a block dia-
gram.
The symmetrical signals supplied by the LTU module to the four independent tributary
ports of module EIPS1 are processed further differently depending on the software con-
figuration (STM-1 or 140 Mbit/s):
• STM-1
– Signal conversion between external STM-1 signals (LTU) and internal ISDHS
(SNL)
– Identifying fault conditions during signal conversion (Fault Management)
– Forming quality data (Performance Management)
– Processing defined OH bytes from RSOH and MSOH
– Relaying clock pulse information from the incoming STM-1 signal
• 140 Mbit/s
– Signal conversion between external 140 Mbit/s signal (LTU) and internal ISDHS
(SNL)
– Identifying fault conditions during signal conversion (Fault Management)
– Forming quality data (Performance Management)
– Processing defined OH bytes from the POH

4.3.3.8 Line Terminating Unit (LTU) Interface Module

The LTU interface module is required for each EIPS1 module (see Fig. 4.11). It con-
tains neither a PCU nor a PSU. The voltage is supplied via the PSU of the dedicated
EIPS1 module.
Tasks of the LTU:
– Supplying external port connections
– Converting tributary signals at the inputs of unsymmetrical external interfaces to
symmetrical internal signals for the 4 EIPS ports in the receiving direction.
– Converting symmetrical signals of the 4 EIPS ports in transmission direction to un-
symmetrical external interface signals at the tributary outputs.
– Safeguarding the electrical requirements at the external tributary input and output
interfaces.
– Monitoring the level of external tributary input interface signals referring to the mini-
mum values for LOS identification.
4.3.3.9 EIPS1 Backup Switch Line (EBSL) Module

Module EBSL is required for module protection switching of the EIPS1 module
(see Fig. 4.11). It contains neither a PCU nor a PSU. Power is supplied via module
PSUTB.
Task of the EBSL:
– Decision maker for data signals from 4 ports in the transmit and receive direction be-
tween the LTU of the working EIPS1 and the LTU of the protection EIPS1 in the event
of protection switching for the EIPS1 module.
4.3.3.10 Power Supply Unit

Tributary Protection (PSUTP) Interface Module
In case of protection switching of the EIPS1 module PSUTP module is needed for power
supply of interface modules LTU and EBSL (see Fig. 4.11).
4.3.3.11 Connecting Switch 4xSTM-1 “CS4” Module

Module CS4 has the task of connecting the OIS16 tributary interfaces to the EIPS1 slots
with the two modules SNL-X or SNL-Y in network element SLD16E (see Fig. 4.13). The
ISDH data signals will be regenerated in module CS4.
Module CS4 does not contain a PCU. A failure in the module’s own power supply is in-
dicated by a red LED on its front panel.

4.3.4.1 Clock Unit Line (CLL/CLL64-2) Module

The clock pulse module of the system is housed in module CLL/CLL64-2.
The clock pulse module synchronizes the system either from an STM-N line signal or a
tributary signal or from one of the two external 2048-kHz clock pulses. The clock pulse
oscillator of the system can be used in the following modes of operation with corre-
sponding accuracy: “Synchronized”, “Hold-Over” or “Free-Running”.
In the standard case, the CLL selects the clock pulse source on the basis of a priority
specified by the user. However, the selection can also be made by remote control via an
LCT or TMN. The synchronization status report (“Timing Marker”) is supported.
Status, alarm and control information are transmitted by the integrated microprocessor
unit PCU from/to module.
Fig. 4.14 shows the clock pulse generation on the Clock Unit Line using a block dia-
gram.

The input resistance of external synchronization input T3 can be configured via a switch
on the connection board of the subrack (75 Ω symmetrical/120 Ω unsymmetrical).
The T3 Interface has overvoltage disconnection and amplitude monitoring.
The synchronization status message (SSM) of the OH bus is evaluated and the new
SSM is inserted in the OH bus. The Timing Reference Selection identifies a possible
fault confirmation in the received SSM or a T3 signal failure and takes care of changing
to a new source (forced mode or automatic selection can be configured).
In the T0 Distribution switching unit, four different clock pulse frequencies and a 15-
minute pulse are generated and distributed via the T0 bus or T0155 bus. T0155 is dis-
tributed directly as T0 Traffic Processing Clock to the transmission modules OIS16, SNL
and EIPS1. The four different clock pulses of the T0 bus are needed for OH/DCC pro-
cessing, internal system communication as well as for time information.
The external synchronization output T4 Interface generates a 2048-kHz clock pulse. It
has an overvoltage protection and a direct voltage decoupling (symmetrical/unsymmet-
rical).
To increase system availability, module protection switching for the clock pulse module
CLL is also possible.
The CLL64-2 module is required in combination with the T3/T4 Clock Adapter CLA
i (e.g. for generating the T3 clock from a 2048 kbit/s signal).
A30808-X3580-H501-1-7618 51
TED Information
SLD/T16-2.5
CLL64-2 module differs in relation to its modified input T3, which is able to identify the
quality of the T3 clock signal from the CLA output (see 4.3.4.2).
4.3.4.2 T3/T4 Clock Adapter (CLA)

The T3/T4 Clock Adapter is an external module installed in the top of the rack. It contains
three independent and bi-directional clock adaption channels, which serve up to three
different subracks within the rack.
Each clock adaption channel is used for the conversion from 2048 kbit/s into 2048 kHz
of the T3 clock and from 2048 kHz into 2048 kbit/s of the T4 clock of an NE.
A 2048 kbit/s timing reference signal T3/T4 carrying SSM/QL information is supported
with a special common mode DC-transmission superimposed to the 2048 kHz clock sig-
nal in balanced mode between CLA and NE.
For using this feature the following conditions have to be fulfilled:
i The NE has to be equipped with a compatible CLL card (in this case: CLL64-2, see
4.3.4.1) and furthermore the T3/T4 connector has to be set to 120 Ω.
The CLA operates with input voltage 48/60V from station power supply in the rack and
is neither supervised nor controlled by the NE.
A green LED indicates the status of the CLA module. Only loss of synchronization in the
dedicated NE using the CLA signals points indirectly to the CLA may be faulty.
The block diagram in Fig. 4.15 shows the functional blocks of CLA.
The tasks of these functional blocks are listed below:
PSU
– Operation with input voltage 48/60V from station power supply in the rack
– Separation diodes and fuses for two input lines NUBAT1 and NUBAT2 for redundan-
cy
– Input filter for noise reduction
– DC/DC-converter for all internal used operating voltages
Control Logic
– Clock generation
– Initialization of the internal asics after power up
– Conversion from T3 2048 kbit/s SSM/QL into DC-levels for 2048 kHz T3 clock
– Conversion from T4 2048 kHz DC-levels into SSM/QL for 2048 kbit/s T4 signal

is also squelched.
4.3.4.3 System Control Unit (SCU-R2/SCU-R2E) Module

The functions of SCU-R2 and SCU-R2E are the same but the memory capacities are
i different.
The SCU is the central processing unit of the SL equipment and here the software func-
tions SEMF (Synchronous Equipment Management Function) and MCF (Management
Communication Function) are processed. On the one hand, it controls and monitors the
transmission system modules and, on the other hand, it forms the interface to the
LCT/NCT or a management system. In addition, interferences occurring in the SL equip-
ment (including interferences of the SCU itself) are reported via the local alarm signaling
according to the signaling diagram of Bw7R both at the Subrack Alarm Panel SRAP-PI
and the higher-level monitoring devices.
Internal control takes place via the ICB bus system which connects the SCU processor
to the PCU processors of the other modules. A second bus system with the designation
PBUS (Protection Bus) connects the SCU to the main signal modules. This bus is used
as “Express channel” to process communication together with the protection switching
measures and in this way takes care of a quick conversion. Both buses form part of the
internal communication system ICS.
System control SCU communicates
• with the other modules (via the internal ICS communication system),
• with the ECC, QST/B3 and QST/F interfaces (via the MCF function),
• with the rack alarm lines and the alarm bus of the operating point via the relay con-
tacts (see also Fig. 4.20).
The SCU carries out the following functions:
• It monitors all alarms of the equipment and relays the alarm conditions to the net-
work system, the rack alarm bus and a LCT/NCT terminal.
• It relays the operating data of the synchronous line equipment to the network man-
agement system and a LCT/NCT terminal.
• It configures the synchronous line equipment according to the settings which were
transmitted by the network management system or the LCT/NCT terminal. The set-
tings used last are stored non-volatile in the flash EPROM of the SCU and in the
PCUs of the modules.
• It identifies each module within the synchronous line equipment.
Functional Description
Fig. 4.16 shows the basic mode of operation of the SCU module using a block diagram.

In the SCU module, a RISC processor is employed as CPU (main processor), and
three additional CISC processors (peripheral processors) extend the CPU interfaces
as slaves.
A supervision module (T0 Supervision) ensures automatic changeover to the standby
clock in the event of a fault.
The RTC module (real time clock) contains a NVRAM (non-volatile random access
memory) with 8 kbytes memory capacity. It is battery buffered to supply time information

and store the test results and status information of the boot software. During shutdown,
the clock pulse oscillator automatically switches off to protect the battery. When the sys-
tem is installed for the first time, the time and the date have to be set.
The Program Memory (flash PROM) is used for storing the operating software, basic
software and application software.
The Main Memory can be equipped with EDO DRAM.
The Boot-EPROM stores the boot software for initiating startup of the operating soft-
ware. The boot software only loads a specific portion of the operating software from the
flash memory which in turn starts up the remaining part of the operating software. Prior
to loading of the operating software, the boot software performs a complete hardware
test.
The Card Label Memory is designed as serial EEPROM and is used to store the mod-
ule-specific data.
The Power Supply Unit converts the input voltage from nominally 48 V/60 V to the volt-
ages required on the module. The input voltage supply is duplicated to provide en-
hanced reliability. The voltage is monitored: a red LED on the module lights up in the
event of a fault.
Interfaces
AUXRS232 is a simple RS232 interface.
BDM (Background Debug Interface) is used for troubleshooting.
MMI (Man Machine Interface) comprises two LEDs (red and green) and a push button.
Bw7R is used to control the subrack alarm panel SRAP, the light signal equipment LZE
and the Central Service Observation Equipment ZBBeo (see also Fig. 4.20)
IDI is used to determine the mounting slot, module and backplane coding.
DCCB1/2 is used to transmit the DCC channels between the main signal modules and
the SCU.
QB3 is used for remote access (e.g. from a TMN or NCT) via the QST/B3 interface of the
SL equipment.
V is an RS485 interface and can be used between two SCU modules if operation has
been split between two modules.
ICB and PBus are used for communication between the PCUs of the other modules and
the SCU.
LCT allow an LCT terminal to be connected (via the QST/F interface of the SL equip-
ment).
SDI is a service and diagnostic interface.
USI provides two inputs and two outputs (TTL in each case).
EDI (External Database Interface) provides access to the backplane EPROM which
stores important network element data.

4.3.5 Modules for Supplementary Services
4.3.5.1 Overhead Access Unit (OHA) Module

The optional OHA module makes it possible for the user to access the Overhead Bytes
of the line and tributary interfaces for speech and data communication. The module re-
ceives these bytes via the internal OH bus of the system. This bus transmits all the Over-
head Bytes except the DCC bytes; these are transmitted in a special bus (DCCB).
The integrated Overhead Processing Facility (OHP) allows uni- or bidirectional Cross-
Connections between selectable Overhead Bytes from each STM-N interface on the line
or tributary side. It is also possible to relay the Overhead Bytes to the user interfaces of
the overhead channel. These channels are accessed via the terminal panel at the top of
the subrack.
With the OHA module, the following overhead channel interfaces are available:
– two 64-kbit/s data channels with an interface according to ITU-T Recommendation
G.703
– four data channels with an interface according to ITU-T Recommendation V.11
– a 2-wire interface for an engineering order wire (2-wire Handset)
– a PBX-Interface
– two 4-wire-E&M-interfaces (only transparent mode)
In the case of synchronous failure, an AIS signal is inserted in all G.703 outputs accord-
ing to the G.703 guideline.
The integrated PCU takes over monitoring and control of the complete module.
Fig. 4.17 shows the basic mode of operation of the OHA module using a block diagram.
The Peripheral Control Unit PCU communicates with other modules and the SCU via
the bus connections (PBUS/ICB). The PCU controls the internal hardware via the SMA
bus.
The analog 2-wire Interface (2 wire a/b) allows an engineering order wire and an exter-
nal ringer to be connected for the DTMF calling method.
The PBX Interface with its analog 2-wire a/b interface for tone dialing or pulse dialing is
used to connect a private branch exchange or a public exchange.
The analog 4-wire Interfaces are used to connect external equipment.
The bidirectional 64-kbit/s interfaces, G.703 Interface, are used to connect multiplex
equipment for interconnecting.
The bidirectional data interfaces, sV.11 Interface, are used for the adaptation of data
equipment and for interconnection. The bit rate can be configured: 64 kbit/s or 192
kbit/s.
The 2048-kbit/s CAS Interface is used for cascading up to four OHA modules.
The OHP-ASIC contains the functionalities OH Call Control, OH Cross-Connect, Tele-
phone Conference, Telephone Call Manager, Telephone Monitoring, Overhead Bus and
IMTS function.

The OHB Interface consists of two 6.48-Mbit/s interfaces for “Add” and “Drop” to trans-
mit the OH bytes between OIS16, EIPS1, CLL and OHA. The OH bytes can be config-
ured freely.
4.3.5.2 Telemetry Interface (TIF) Module

The telemetry interface module, TIF, represents an external signaling interface.
The module supports two groups each with 8 input ports (sensors) and 8 output ports
(actors).
The two groups are selected via hardware switches on the TIF module. In addition to the
hardware setting, the TIF interface must also be activated per software via the OHA
module and management interfaces for LCT or TMN.
For data exchange between TIF and OHA, two serial 64-kbit/s channels with G.703 in-
terface are used. If the TIF function is active, these may not be used for other purposes.
The TIF can be equipped as an option. It is not shown in equipping representations be-
i cause it has no access to the internal ICS communication system, but is controlled via
the OHA module.

5 Functional Features
5.1 Operation, Control and Monitoring

The payload signals are transmitted on the path as STM-16 signals. It is possible to in-
sert and decouple plesiochronous 140-Mbit/s signals and/or synchronous STM-1 sig-
nals on the tributary side. In addition to the payload signal, control, monitoring,
customer-specific data signals and service telephone signals can be transferred in the
section overhead of the STM signals.
To ensure high operational safety, ongoing operation is continuously monitored by using
a network management system or by operating terminals.
Network elements to which no special operating terminal has been connected, give in-
formation about the operational state for support in the case of maintenance work via
built-in display elements (see Chapter 5.1.1).
The controlling network management system or a local operating terminal LCT, commu-
nicates with synchronous line equipment via its control module SCU (Master). This is
connected with the peripheral computers, PCUs, (Slaves) of all modules of the specific
line equipment via an internal communication system.
The core piece of the PCUs is a microcontroller which processes the alarm, status and
control information of the module.
The control module SCU, not only establishes the connection to the local and remote
control equipment (MCF function), but also monitors all internal functions of the synchro-
nous line equipment (SEMF function). The flexible monitoring concept of synchronous
line equipment based on software control can easily and quickly be adapted to various
user requests and offers optimum requirements for future changes.
The following alarm and error messages are given:
– Optical messages via LEDs (module, subrack),
– Bw7R alarm messages,
– Messages via the Q-F interface,
– Messages via the Q-B3 interface.
The synchronous line equipment is integrated in the following management functions in
conformity with the corresponding ITU-T Recommendations and ETS standards:
– Fault Management
– Configuration Management
– Performance Management
– Security Management
The following are of particular importance:
– Alarm processing (e.g. AIS, FTP) for localizing faulty equipment in the transmission
network.
– Fault diagnosis at module level (e.g. localizing a faulty module).
– Specifying and storing configuration data; these can be entered and requested by
the network management system or the LCT.
– Determining the quality parameters according to the ITU-T Recommendation
G.826.
– Administration of the access authorization in the LCT for various user classes with
passwords.

5.1.1 Display and Operating Elements of the Network Element

The display elements (LEDs) at the subracks (see Chapter 4.4.1) and on the modules
(see Fig. 6.4) are a useful aid particularly if neither a Local Craft Terminal, LCT, nor a
network management system have been connected to the SL equipment when an alarm
occurs. The LEDs signal alarms at subrack and module level.
5.1.1.1 Display and Operating Elements of the Plug-in Modules

Each plug-in module has two LEDs on the front which are used for information in the
case of maintenance work:
– A red error LED to display module-internal alarms. It is fed from an externally sup-
plied voltage (ULED) so that it can also illuminate when the module power supply
fails.
– A green Service Status LED to display that the module has been put out of opera-
tion.
5.1.2 Control and Monitoring by the LCT

The Local Craft Terminal, LCT, is a Management PC for TransXpress network elements
of the second SDH generation. It is suitable for both communication with a directly con-
nected, local network element and remote network elements which have been connect-
ed via data connections.
With the LCT, simple and quick access to the parameters of the network elements (NE)
which can be set in a transmission range is possible. The following basic functions be-
long to this: addressing, configuring, alarm monitoring and display of performance data.
The LCT therefore offers the following network management functions according to
ITU-T M.3010:
To allocate an equipment address (initial commissioning), the LCT is connected locally
to the Q-F interface of the NEs (see Fig. 5.1). The LCT can then be operated locally at
a specific NE or centrally for all NEs of a partial or total network depending on the appli-
cation.
In local operation (e.g. for initial installation), connection takes place via the Q-F inter-
face (ITU-T V.24) and in central operation via the Q-B3 interface (via a Medium Attach-
ment Unit MAU). The last mode of operation allows an accelerated data transfer with an
effective bit rate of approximately 2 Mbit/s via the Ethernet.
The increased data rate of the Q-B3 interface is particularly advantageous for short
transmission times for file transfer (software download) and access to remote network
elements (remote login). Remote Login is only possible via the Q-B3 interface.
The interfaces at the synchronous line equipment have been designed as D subminia-
ture connectors; they are located in the connector panel of the application (see Chapter
6.3).

5.1.3 Control and Monitoring by the NCT

The Network Craft Terminal NCT carries out all the functions of Local Craft Terminal
LCT (see Chapter 5.1.2). In addition the NCT is used for alarm monitoring in networks
with up to 150 network elements.
For a better overview, a map can be displayed on the screen of the NCT as background
bitmap on which the relevant network element symbols (icons) can be positioned ac-
cording to the geographical locations of the network elements. Interconnections of net-
work elements can also be displayed.
Arranged at central points, the stationary NCT is suitable for communicating with all net-
work elements (NE) of the monitoring range (see Fig. 5.3) and allows simple and quick
access to the parameters which can be set. The following basic functions belong to this:
addressing, configuring and alarm monitoring

work Management System can be used.
It communicates with the system control SCU of the synchronous line equipment like the
local operating terminal LCT. However, the two control possibilities can be used inde-
pendently.

such as module protection switching, multiplex section switching for line and ring net-
works and path protection switching for example. In all cases the redundant channels
are reserved for the engineering order wire and customer-specific data transmission. An

Tab. 5.1 Overview of Possible Protection Switching Configurations
The different types of protection switching with their functionalities are described below
in more detail.
5.2.1 Module Protection Switching

To increase system availability, the following possibilities exist for module protection
switchings:
– (1+1) protection switching for the switching network module SNL and for the clock
pulse supply module CLL,
– (1+1) protection switching for optical modules OIS16 (combined with MSP)
– (1:n)-protection switching for electrical interface modules EIPS1 (STM-1 / 140
Mbit/s). Example see Fig. 4.11.
Over and above that, the supply voltage feed to the line equipment can be duplicated.

SLD/T16-2.5
5.2.1.1 Criteria for Initiating the Protection Switching Process

The working-protection changeover is triggered automatically by monitoring circuits, but
it can also be controlled by the operating terminal or operations system.
Criteria for initiating module protection switching are as follows (for modules OIS16,
OIS4 and OIS1 see also 5.2.2.3):
• Internal initiation
– Card Failure, CF (module failures: fault in the module power supply, PCU fault,
fault in the ASICs, module not plugged in, clock not present)
– Errors in internal signals ISDH, ISU
• External initiation
– Forced Switch (changeover via operating terminal/OS)
5.2.2 Linear Multiplex Section Protection (Linear MSP)
5.2.2.1 Linear (1+1) MSP

In the case of (1+1) protection switching, the same data signal is transmitted using two
separate lines. One of the two data signals is selected on the receiver side (Fig. 5.4).
External protection switching requirements (from the Operations System or LCT, not the
remote network element) are possible.
The following pictures show the traffic signal flow in some typical steady states of the
MSP switch control. Fig. 5.4 shows the fault-free case.

With (1:1) line protection switching the protection line is also used in fault-free operation
for transmission of own data signals (Extra Traffic, Low Priority Traffic) (see Fig. 5.6). If
a fault occurs there will be a changeover on the transmit and receive side to the protec-
tion line; Extra traffic is not then possible.
The following diagrams show the signal flow for the transmission signal in typical states
of the MSP switch control in each case. Fig. 5.6 shows fault-free operation.

Linear MSP can either be initiated manually using the operating terminal/OS or automat-
ically under the control of the SCU. According to ITU-T Recommendation G.783 there
is a hierarchy of priorities in accordance with which the protection switching process will
be initiated.
The criteria for protection switching are listed below, starting with the highest priority:
• Local initiation
– Forced Switch (switch via operating terminal/OS)
– Signal Fail (SF), corresponding to the following error states for example:
Loss of Signal LOS,
Loss of Frame LOF,
Section-AIS received
– Signal degrade, SD (Bit error rate greater than/equal to 10-6)
• Remote initiation
– Changeover of other network elements from (remote requests) via bytes K1/K2
5.2.3 Bidirectional Self Healing Ring Protection Switching (BSHR)

In rings, the same protection switching measures as for line and path protection switch-
ing are possible including also bidirectional, self-healing ring protection switching
(BSHR). In the case of interference in a multiplex section, the data signal is looped back
at the two ends of the disturbed section via the protection line. Protection switching
mechanisms for 2-fiber rings (BSHR-2) and 4-fiber rings (BSHR-4) have been imple-
mented.
5.2.3.1 2-fiber Ring Protection Switching (BSHR-2)

The BSHR-2 consists of a number of network elements (synchronous line units) for
which the line interfaces are connected to each other in the form of a ring. Since each
line interface is connected to an optical fiber for incoming signals and one for outgoing
signals, this virtual produces one optical fiber running in the clockwise direction and one
optical fiber running in the anticlockwise direction (“2-fiber ring”).
A path is generally switched in normal mode using the shortest route or so that it will
pass through a less number of network elements as possible. In contrast to other ring
protection switching mechanisms no transmission capacity is required on the other ring
segments.
In the event of a ring segment being interrupted or a fault occurring in a segment the
neighboring network elements switch the entire payload signal via the protection path of
the other segments. In this way the “Working” path of each segment is protected.
To do this half the capacity of the ring must be provided for the protection path.
All segments of the BSHR-2 have the same priority as regards switching over the ring.
Switchover mode is revertive and it is possible for the user to configure the wait-to-re-
store time.
A dual common STM-16 protection switching with two BSHR-2 rings for 4-fiber ring ca-
pability is also supported.
The figures below show the signal flow for the transmission signal in typical states of the
MSP switch control in each case.

Fig. 5.8 shows an example of a 2-fiber ring with extra traffic (optional) in fault-free op-
eration. With this configuration 8 of the total of 16 channels will be used for the transmis-
sion of signals with low priority (extra traffic). If a fault occurs the transmission of the
extra traffic will be interrupted and an alarm indication signal (AIS) fed into the interrupt-
ed line.

5.2.4 Card Release Switching (CRS)

With Multiplex Section Protection without CRS the data signal of the protection path will
be routed to the SNL via the working OIS module if a fault occurs (see Fig. 5.5). If, in
the worst-case, the working OIS module were faulty, this could however lead to signal
failure.
Card Release Switching enables expanded Multiplex Section Protection which takes ac-
count not only of faults on the transmission line but also of faults on the optical interface
modules OIS16. CRS becomes active when the working OIS module reports a hardware
fault; module SNL then selects the protection OIS module.

5.2.5 (1+1) Path Protection Switching

(Subnetwork Connection Protection, SNCP)
SNCP is provided with the aid of the SNL modules.
The data signal is transmitted in a ring structure via two different paths and can be im-
plemented in line or ring structures (Fig. 5.15). The changeover criteria (evaluation of
the Path Overhead) are specified individually when configuring the line equipment. A
Protection Protocol is not required.
The (1+1) protection switching of the VC4 path is undertaken in single ended operation
(unidirectional) without “extra traffic”.
The switch over to the protection path occurs in the “non-revertive” mode, i.e if there was
a switchover to the protection path as a result of a transmission fault, there is no auto-
matic switch back to the original path once the fault is rectified, but only if there is a fault
on this new path.

function
– Trail signal degraded (TSD): This criterion is generated by the HPOM function
(High Order POH Monitor), e.g. Degraded defects (dDEG) as per ETSI
– ISDH signal fail (module SNL)
5.3 Supplementary Services

Signals for supplementary services are transmitted in the Section Overhead. The capac-
ity of an Overhead Channel is 64 kbit/s or a multiple thereof. Overhead bytes for user-
specific data channels (AUX) and engineering order wire (EOW) channels can be ac-
cessed via the Overhead module OHA.
Specific Overhead Bytes can be interconnected via the OHA switching unit by each
STM-N interface of the line or tributary side to the AUX interfaces. The Local Craft Ter-
minal is used for through connection. Telemetry signals (C-AL) can be coupled and de-
coupled by using the connector module TIF (via the OHA module).
5.3.1 User-specific Data Channels

The following interfaces are available:
• Two bidirectional G.703 interfaces (connected via the OH switching matrix) with er-
ror monitoring for LOS or AIS.
The G.703 interfaces can optionally be used for:
– Direct OH access,
– Access to telephone conference call or
– A TIF interface
(These functions are mutually exclusive).
• Four bidirectional data interfaces sV.11 (corresponding to ITU-T V.11, but with other
impedance) for the connection of data terminals and the through connection of data
channels.
5.3.2 Engineering Order Wire

The engineering order wire channels are transmitted via the EOW bytes E1 and E2.
The following interfaces are available:
• A 2-wire interface
An analog 2-wire a/b interface to connect a 16-key telephone with DTMF dialing and
internal ringer. Selective, collective and group calls are possible. For selective or
group call, a three-digit telephone number is allocated to the telephone.
Via an external telephone ringer connection, incoming calls (selective call, group
call) can also be identified if the telephone handset is off-hook or no telephone is
connected.
• Two 4 wire E&M interfaces
– for the connection of EOW terminals such as EOW switching, O&M Center
(ZBBeo),
– for the transition to other systems such as e.g. Synchronous Multiplexer SMA
(SDH) or OLTS (PDH) in which case the external equipment also has to support
DTMF dialing.

Information TED
SLD/T16-2.5
• A PBX interface
An analog 2-wire a/b interface for DTMF dialing or pulse dialing is used to connect
a private branch exchange or a public exchange.
Telephone Conference Circuit

A maximum of two independent EOW conferences is possible (see manual OMN:SL).
The telephone conference circuit allows the interconnection of external speech chan-
nels (e.g. from “East” and “West” line signals as well as tributary signals; 2-wire and 4-
wire) so that each subscriber is connected with every other subscriber.
Correct connection of the EOW channels into a conference or in a ring structure is the
responsibility of the system administrator.
Selective Call, Group Call and Collective Call

3-digit selective, group and conference call numbers are supported in which case the
directory numbers 000, XY0 and X00 are reserved for collective call and group call (see
manual OMN:SL).
5.4 Clock Pulse Supply, Synchronization

Frequency synchronous network operation requires synchronization of all equipment
operating in the network to a central reference clock pulse.
The following reference signals are suitable as clock pulse sources:
– An external 2048-kHz clock pulse signal T3 which can be applied at a synchroniza-
tion input of a terminal multiplexer or add/drop multiplexer,
– The clock pulse derived from a line or tributary signal,
– A clock pulse of the internal quartz oscillator (plesiochronous operation).
The clock pulse of each network element can be synchronized with a very precise clock
pulse source (Primary Reference Clock, PRC) according to the master-slave principle.
The clock pulse information is distributed via the transport network.
5.4.1 Synchronous Equipment Timing Source, SETS

Within each network element (except for regenerators), the SETS (Synchronous Equip-
ment Timing Source) function on the Clock Unit Line (CLL) module takes care of local
synchronizing.
Signals T1 (STM signals) and T3 (2048 kHz) feed the clock pulse information into the
SETS (see Fig. 5.16). One of the two signals is used as the current synchronizing
source. The SETS function derives the clock pulse T0 from this. Each outgoing SDH sig-
nal is synchronized from this T0 clock pulse and T0 is also used as the central clock
pulse within the network element.
The SETS function does not only supply the synchronous clock pulse to the modules
within the network elements, but also via the T4 interface to other equipment. After a
synchronization fault in the transmission line, sections of the transmission range are no
longer permanently coupled to the Primary Reference Source PRC. In this case, the
clock pulse synchronization has to be configured anew in the network structure. For this,
each SETS can be synchronized with different T1 or T3 sources. When configuring in
the course of commissioning the synchronous line equipment, the clock pulse source to
be used is specified.

Fig. 5.16 SETS Function According to ITU-T G.783
If an existing synchronization with a reference clock pulse source is no longer available,

the SETS switches from synchronous operation to the holdover mode.
If the SETS cannot be synchronized with an external clock pulse source, it changes to
the free-running Mode.
In both modes, holdover and free-running, the SETS independently supplies clock pulse
T0 from Timing Generator SETG, but with reduced frequency and phase quality. In this
case, clock pulse T4 is no longer made available because of clock pulse suppression
which occurs in that instance (Squelch Function).
5.4.2 Timing Marker

Because it is possible to choose between clock pulse sources of different precision, it is
useful to transmit information about the quality of the clock pulse used. Otherwise, the
reference clock pulse used is selected according to a given priority list.
The Synchronization Status Message is contained in the MSOH of the STM-N signal.
For information about the precision of the clock pulse of the signal, six quality steps have
been specified according to ITU-T recommendation (see Chapter 9.5).
5.5 Real Time Clock

For time stamps (time and date) in error and operational messages of the SCU and
PCUs, a real time clock is available on module SCU (circuit section RTC).
The real time clock can be set via the LCT/NCT operating terminal or a network man-
agement system.

5.6 Laser Safety Shutdown

To prevent possible personal injury by emerging laser light in the case of line interruption
(e.g. fiber break), the SL equipment contains a laser safety shutdown ALS (Automatic
Laser Shutdown) which automatically takes the laser transmitter of the disturbed section
out of operation according to ITU-T Recommendation G.958.
In the case of signal failure exceeding 500 ms at the optical receiver of an SL16 equip-
ment, the laser transmitter is switched off in this equipment for the opposite direction and
thereby the disturbed field is taken out of operation. The laser transmitter is then
switched on cyclically every 70 s for approximately 2 s or approximately 9 s or 100 s for
testing. If the receiver of the device concerned again receives a valid signal, the laser
transmitter of the opposite direction is again immediately put into continuous operation.
When switching-on internal power supplies or after a laser switch-off caused by total fail-
ure of the power supply in the telecommunications center, the laser transmitter(s) must
be force switched-on for approximately 2 s or approximately 9 s or 100 s after the per-
missible operating conditions have been reached. In this way the line is automatically
put back into operation.
In the case of line interruption or for maintenance work, the laser transmitter must be
switched-on manually for approximately 2 s or approximately 9 s or 100 s (test purpos-
es). The transmitter is switched back on via the operating terminal.

6 Hardware (Mechanical Design)
6.1 Racks
The racks used should comply with the dimensions recommended by ETSI (European
Telecommunications Standards Institute): W = 600 mm, H = 2200 mm and D = 200 mm
(empty), 300 mm (equipped) (ETS 300 119-3).
A rack may include up to three subracks of the type SLD16 or SLR16 or two of the type
SLD16E (see typical equipping configurations Fig. 6.1).
The subrack is secured on the front of the rack. To make fitting easier, there are two sup-
port lugs in each case which have to be fitted in the points on the front of the rack where
the BGTs have to be installed. The space provided at both sides between the subracks
and the rack wall is available for cabling the subracks with one another and the copper
connecting cable of the telecommunications center and the point behind the subracks is
reserved for the FO cables. Each connecting point (connector) can also be accessed for
a cabled rack, e.g. for subsequent equipping without interrupting the line.
The top-most rack slot is used for fitting a terminal panel with the connecting elements
for the operating point. The terminal panel contains the fuse panels with up to six line
circuit breakers each as well as a module for signaling according to construction practice
7R.
The bottom of the rack is open so as to let in fresh air; likewise the top of the rack is open
as an air outlet and cable feed-through. The modules are ventilated by means of free
convection. If required, (e.g. in shelters with high room temperature) air conducting ele-
ments can be fitted between the subracks.
The rack is secured to a floor rail with pins. Height-adjustable feet can compensate for
floor unevenness of up to 25 mm. Fastening sets are available for fitting under a planar
cable shelf. Doors have not been provided for the racks.

6.2 Rack Terminal Panel

The rack terminal panel is fitted in the slot of the top-most rack. It contains the fuse pan-
els equipped with circuit breakers and a signal distributor with connectors for connecting
the signaling lines (Bw7R signaling).
The battery voltage (Nominal value –48 V or –60 V) is distributed via the circuit breakers
to the power supply connections of the subracks.
A30808-X3580-H501-1-7618 87
TED Information
SLD/T16-2.5
For every SL device in the rack, a Medium Attachment Unit MAU can be installed in the
rack terminal panel if required. This allows the symmetrical Q-B3 interface of the SL
equipment to be adapted to the coaxial Ethernet interface of an LAN network for remote
access of an LCT/NCT or TMN. The SL equipment, can be connected with coaxial ca-
bles via the MAU (also via several racks).
The rack cabling needed for commissioning the rack is described in the installation and
i test manual ITMN.
6.3 Subracks and Equipping

Are the following modules/cards mentioned in a general description, in a picture or in a

OIS16 –> OIS16-2
SCU –> SCU-R2 –> SCU-R2E
6.3.1 Subrack Types

Two different types of subracks (designated in the software as “NE Type”) are available:
– SLD16 (see Fig. 6.2)
– SLD16E (see Fig. 6.3)
Each subrack contains the following from the bottom to the top
– Slots (single row or double row) for transmission modules 235 mm in height,
– An alarm panel and a terminal panel for service/operating interfaces,
– Slots for interface modules 142 mm in height and
– Two connectors for connecting the supply voltage.
The following are used as plug-in connections:
– For FO cable connectors according to CECC 86135 or CECC 86115,
– For coaxial cable connectors 1,6/5,6 according to DIN 47295 and
– For multi-pole connections, connectors according to DIN 41652 (D-subminiature).
Heat is vented by free convection only.
The subracks are basically intended for fitting in an ETS rack (with or without doors), and
fitting in a 19-inch rack is also possible.
The subracks are RF shielded; they comply with the regulations according to DIN
VDE 0878, Part 3 as well as IEC 801-1 up to 6 for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
The cable connections for internal rack and telecommunications center cabling are ar-
ranged on a terminal panel in the middle of the subrack and can be accessed from the
front (see manual ITMN).
The FO connections are positioned on the front of the optical modules as a manual con-
nector with a special jack for:
– DIN 47 256 or
– FC PC or
– E2000 or
– SC connector

6.3.5 Modules
Plug-in modules are functional elements which can be exchanged independently of
each other with special, decentralized power supply (except for the LTU).
Synchronous line equipment can be adapted to the desired tasks (add/drop or terminal
function with the number of optical and electrical interfaces needed in each case) by
simply adding or replacing modules. In synchronous add/drop line multiplexers and syn-
chronous line terminals, modules of the same type are used.
A30808-X3580-H501-1-7618 91

SLD/T16-2.5
All plug-in modules (except for the LTU and TIF modules) measure 265 mm x 235 mm
according to DIN 43 356, but their equipping height is not the same so that when they
are positioned vertically in the insets, slots with different widths are allocated to them.
Depending on the module type, the plug-in modules are assembled on 6 to 18 layered
printed circuit boards equipped on both sides. For ESD reasons, each module has an
outer grounding edge which is connected to the frame ground (see Fig. 6.4).

tion aids engaged at the top and the bottom in the inset, so that the modules can be me-
chanically secured during operation.
Identification labels are applied to the plug-in and pull-out aids so that the modules can
immediately be identified after the subrack cover has been opened.

7 Software and Firmware
7.1 General
Each synchronous add/drop line multiplexer SLD16 and each synchronous line terminal
SLT16 has an “embedded” operating system with UNIX mechanisms in the SCU (see
Chapter 4.3.4.3) to monitor and control the other modules and to store device-specific
status information.
The boot firmware is stored in the Boot EPROM of the SCU module as well as in the
FEPROMs of the individual Peripheral Control Unit (PCU) (see Fig. 7.1). The software
of the operating system and the configuration data of the SL equipment is stored on a
Flash EPROM on the SCU module.

7.2 Software Structure of the SCU

The software of System Control Unit SCU is divided into three parts:
– SCU Base and Application Software BASW
– SEMF software
– MCF software
7.2.1 SCU Base and Application Software BASW (Base Software)

The base software of the SCU is the underlying, universal-design operating system and
communication software, which together with the hardware makes it possible to carry
out the various functions of the synchronous line equipment.
The base software consists of the following
• The boot firmware which initiates the start of the operating system and
94 A30808-X3580-H501-1-7618
Information TED
SLD/T16-2.5
• The operating software as basis for application software which contains all the task-
specific software sections (it provides the universal user interface between applica-
tion software and base software).
The infrastructure needed to start up/shut down the software processes, for download-
ing larger data quantities via FTP and for further processes is provided by the base soft-
ware.
7.2.2 SEMF Software

The SEMF software is the central software of the network element which is involved in
all network element-specific functions.
The SEMF software initiates the processing of all the commands and requests which ar-
rive at the network element via the application protocol. It also monitors and controls the
PCUs of the individual modules, prepares the PCU messages and, if required, relays
them to operating terminal LCT or NCT or to a network management system.
The SEMF software consists of the SEMF application and the SEMF infrastructure.
7.2.3 MCF Software

The MCF software provides the communication function between the SEMF application
and the network management system. Various channels (DCC, Qx) have been provided
for this.
The MCF software also allows the routing function for network management information
between the network management system and other network elements. The MCF soft-
ware configures the communication channels and monitors them for errors.
7.3 Software Structure of Peripheral Control Units PCUs
7.3.1 PCU Boot Firmware

The PCU boot firmware with startup control, the board self-test and a boot firmware task
are the same for all modules which have a Peripheral Control Unit PCU.
7.3.2 PCU Application Software

The PCU application software is module-specific with a basic part (base software) which
is standard for all modules. The base software is used to administer configuration data
and the control the software download for example. The module-specific part of the PCU
application software mainly performs management tasks.
7.4 Network Addresses of Synchronous Line Equipment

In the network, each synchronous item of line equipment is a network element. It can be
addressed by the operating terminal LCT or NCT or by the network management system
via the following addresses:
• NSAP Address (Address of the network element) The NSAP addresses are admin-
istered by the system administrator.
• Ethernet Address (Address of the SCU)
These addresses clearly specify the identity of the synchronous line equipment.
A30808-X3580-H501-1-7618 95
TED Information
SLD/T16-2.5
7.5 IP Tunneling
The IP2OSI adapter provides the possibility of interconnecting the different DCN net-
working technologies TCP/IP and ISO/OSI. It makes it possible to tunnel IP traffic
through an OSI domain to the respective destination IP subnet. For this purpose it uses
the OSI routing principles. So the IP2OSI adapter is an application which is running at
network elements representing crossing between IP and OSI networks, called IPOSI
gateways. It works at network level.
7.6 Log Records

It is not mandatory for the equipment of the FO System SL16 series 2 requires to be per-
manently connected to an operating terminal or a network management system for con-
tinuous alarm monitoring. All currently occurring, urgent and non-urgent alarm
messages are stored in the SCU. All the events which have already been acknowledged
(“acknowledge”) are recorded in log records.
After a operating terminal or a network management system has been connected, the
user can interrogate the stored events or alarms.
The following log records are recorded:
• NE logs
The NE stores the last 100 alarm events / history events and the last 100 configura-
tion settings / configuration events. New events which occur always overwrite the
oldest entries.
• NE startup log
Contains clear text information to a preceding NE start:
Up to ten items of fault information or the note “No faults”.
• Subrack logs
Here there are three different Log Record Types which are generated during NE
start and are used only by service personnel of the manufacturer for diagnostic pur-
poses.
7.7 Software Download

The hardware and software requirements as well as the procedure for the software
i download for maintenance measures are described in Maintenance Manual MMN of the
synchronous line equipment.
7.8 Management PC Software

Special management PC software is available for the operating terminal LCT and NCT
respectively.
7.8.1 LCT
The LCT is a commercial notebook PC (hardware) with an appropriate software pack-
age. The entire software package consists of the NE-UniGATE software and network
element-specific software components as for the SLD16 (see Fig. 7.2). For all network
elements of the second SDH Generation there are corresponding SW modules.

7.8.1.1 Software for LCT

To allow the notebook to be used as a Local Craft Terminal LCT, the following software
components have to be installed under MS Windows NT:
a) The LCT Gateway Software (“NE-UniGATE”)
It makes it possible to connect the Local Craft Terminal LCT with the synchronous
line equipment (network element) in local or remote operation (via the Q-F-(V.24)
interface or Q-B3 (Ethernet) interface) and starts the application software specific for
the network element (see c).
The “NE-UniGATE” also contains the software parts needed for a Local Craft Termi-
nal LCT.
b) The FTP Software (contained in c)
It is used for data transport between the Local Craft Terminal LCT and the synchro-
nous line equipment (network element).
c) LCT application software specific for the specific synchronous line equipment
It is used to configure and monitor the synchronous line equipment.
Installation of the software components is explained in the Installation and Test Manual
i ITMN of the synchronous line equipment. For information about the gateway software
UniGATE please refer do the dedicated documentation.
Fig. 7.3 gives an overview of the software architecture of operating terminals LCT and
NCT.

7.8.2 NCT
The NCT is a standard PC (hardware) with an appropriate software package. The entire
software package consists of the NE-UniGATE software and network element-specific
software components as for SLD16 (see Fig. 7.4). For all network elements of the sec-
ond SDH generation there are corresponding SW components.
The modular software concept of the NCT makes it possible to integrate the network el-
ement-specific software components needed for a specific network configuration into an
overall package.
For future expansion with additional network elements, further software components
can be added at any time.

8 Commissioning, Operation and Maintenance
8.1 Commissioning
The synchronous line equipment has to be configured on initial commissioning. For this
purpose, a Local Craft Terminal (LCT) has to be connected to the Q-F interface of the
SL equipment. The hardware and software requirements at the craft terminal are de-
scribed in Chapter 5.1.2.1. The craft terminal offers a graphical, menu-driven user inter-
face (GUI).
Detailed information for commissioning synchronous line equipment and the operating
i terminals are explained in the Installation and Test Manual ITMN.
8.2 Operation
Operation of the synchronous line equipment is explained in detail in the operating man-
i ual OMN:SL.
8.2.1 Operating Devices of the Subrack

On the terminal panel of the subrack there are two switches to configure the impedance
of the system clock pulse (75 Ω unsymmetrical or 120 Ω symmetrical) inputs and out-
puts).
Setting the switches is described in the Installation and Test Manual ITMN.
i
In the Subrack Alarm Panel SRAP-PI of the SL16 equipment there is an acknowledge
key RT for manual acknowledgment of the Bw7R alarm messages (see Chapter 4.4).
Operation of the Subrack Alarm Panel SRAP is explained in the Operating Manual
i OMN:SL.
8.2.2 Operating and Display Elements of the Modules

LED Displays of the Modules
Especially to assist in maintenance work, there is a red fault LED and (except for LTU
module) a green service status LED on the front of each module which are visible after
the subrack cover has been removed (see Fig. 6.4).
The type of display is explained in more detail in Chapter 5.1.1.1.
Operating Elements of the Modules

No hardware settings have to be made on the printed circuit boards of the module. The
modules are configured by software commands which are relayed to the relevant mod-
ule via the SCU and originate from the operating terminal LCT or NCT (or from a network
management system) when commissioning or in the case of later changes.
Configuration of the modules using software is explained in the Operating Manual
i OMN:SL.
102 A30808-X3580-H501-1-7618
Information TED
SLD/T16-2.5
On the front of the TIF module there are two switches to select the 64-kbit/s channels
(see Chapter 4.3.5.2).
The functioning of the switches is explained in more detail in the Installation and Test
i Manual ITMN.
8.2.3 Operation with an Operating Terminal

For local or remote control and monitoring of each SL device, a Local Craft Terminal
LCT can be connected (see Chapter 5.1.2). It communicates with the system control unit
SCU of the synchronous line equipment. It is connected via an internal communication
system to all the Peripheral Control Units PCU in the SL equipment.
The Local Craft Terminal LCT is needed only for commissioning, configuration changes
i and maintenance of the synchronous line equipment. The LCT is not absolutely neces-
sary for ongoing payload data transmission in the synchronous line equipment and can
be removed (provided that it is not to be used for alarm monitoring and quality monitor-
ing).
Local Craft Terminal LCT is permanently allocated to the local network element.
Organizational relationships between the synchronous line equipment in the network
(network elements) are only available via the Network Craft Terminal NCT and not via
the Local Craft Terminal LCT (see Chapter 5.1.3).
8.3 Maintenance
Maintenance of the synchronous line equipment is described in the Maintenance Man-
i ual MMN.
The alarm and maintenance concept of the system provides sufficient alarm information
to localize and clear the fault at module level. The equipment has been designed in such
a way that no regular settings are required.
Maintenance measures (e.g. fault localizing) can be carried out locally via the operating
terminal interface Q-F (LCT) or under remote control via the Q-B3 interface (LCT/NCT
or a network management system).
