2.4 Network Management Abilities of the T2000 and the

Computation of the Abilities
The T2000 performs management and maintenance operations on the OptiX OSN 2500. During
the network planning, consider the management abilities of the T2000 to select the hardware
and management domains of the T2000.
Number of the OptiX OSN 2500 NEs Managed by the T2000

One set of the T2000 software can manage OptiX OSN 2500 NEs as follows:
l A maximum of 444 OptiX OSN 2500 NEs on which the ASON features are enabled
l A maximum of 571 OptiX OSN 2500 NEs on which the ASON features are not enabled
Computation Formulas for the Management Abilities

Computation formulas for the management abilities of the T2000 are as follows:
l Formula one: Number of the maximum manageable STM-1 NEs = 1000 x Management
ability coefficient of the hardware platform
l Formula two: Number of the maximum manageable NEs = Number of the maximum
manageable STM-1 NEs ÷ Coefficient of the NEs equivalent to the STM-1 NEs
Computation Methods for the Management Abilities

The management abilities of the T2000 refer to the number of the maximum manageable NEs
when the specified performance specifications are met. At present, a set of T2000 software can
manage a maximum of 2000 STM-1 NEs.
When the T2000 manages networks composed of different types of NEs, the management
abilities can be computed from the preceding data. During the computation, the following factors
should be considered:

l The number of fibers and services can be different for different types of NEs, and thus the
size of the databases varies. In this case, the coefficients of different types of NEs equivalent
to the STM-1 NEs can be computed. The coefficient of the OptiX OSN 2500 equivalent to
the STM-1 NEs is 4.5 (with the ASON features) or 3.5 (without the ASON features).
l Different hardware platforms affect the management abilities of the T2000, especially the
T2000 server. The client can also be affected. See Table 2-1.
l If the client and server are running on the same computer, the management abilities can be
reduced by 50%. Thus, the client and the server should run on separate computers. In this
case, the effect of the client on the management abilities of the server can be disregarded.

Planning Guidelines 3 Planning Networking
3 Planning Networking
About This Chapter
When planning the networking, follow the basic principles, and consider the NE types and
networking modes supported by the OptiX OSN 2500.

When planning the transmission network, consider the line structure, service type, and service
requirement.
3.2 NE Types Supported by the Equipment
In a network, OptiX OSN 2500 can be configured as different types of NEs, including TM,
ADM, MADM, REG, and a combination of these NE types.
3.3 Networking Modes Supported by the Equipment
OptiX OSN 2500 supports networking modes, such as the chain, ring, tangent rings, intersecting
rings, ring with chain, DNI, HUB, and mesh, at the STM-1, STM-4, STM-16 levels.

3 Planning Networking Planning Guidelines

When planning the transmission network, consider the line structure, service type, and service
requirement.
Adhere to the following principles:
l Consider the line structure, service type, service flow and protection requirements as a
whole. Thus, services can be fully protected through networking planning and data
configuration.
l Use the ring topology as the network topology type. When the ASON features are enabled,
use the mesh topology.
l In the case of the intersecting rings, use high-rate equipment at the junction nodes to avoid
service bottlenecks during the timeslot configuration, service upgrade, and service
expansion. For example, in the case of the STM-4 intersecting rings, use the STM-64
equipment at the junction nodes.
l The DNI is mainly used on intersecting rings, at gateway nodes with great service capacity,
and for connecting tandem offices. The primary advantage of the DNI is to provide
protection when node failures occur.
l Configure less than 20 nodes in a ring network to avoid performance degrade of clock
tracing caused by excessive nodes.
l Choose a proper service rate for the network according to the existing service capacity and
demands of future network expansion.
l Determine the equipment type of each node according to the network topology, service
capacity of the node, and equipment features.

4 Planning Network Protection
About This Chapter
The network protection is provided for services in the entire network instead of a single NE. The
network protection protects the SDH, Ethernet, and ATM services. Thus, proper planning can
ensure the effectiveness of the network protection.

Users can choose proper network protection schemes according to the features of network
protection schemes and application scenarios.
4.2 Network Protection Schemes Supported by the Equipment
The OptiX OSN 2500 supports network protection schemes for the SDH service, the Ethernet
service, and the ATM service.
4.3 Planning the MSP Ring
The MSP ring, widely used in the SDH network, includes the four-fiber bidirectional MSP ring,
two-fiber bidirectional MSP ring, and two-fiber unidirectional MSP ring.
4.4 Planning the SNCP
The SNCP, widely used in the SDH network, includes the SNCP, SNCMP, and SNCTP.
4.5 Planning the 1+1 Linear MSP
The 1+1 linear MSP, used in the SDH chain network, has high switching speed, high reliability,
and low bandwidth utilization.
4.6 Planning the 1:N Linear MSP
The 1:N linear MSP is used in the SDH chain network. One protection channel protects services
on N working channels. However, two faulty working channels cannot be protected at the same
time. When all the channels are normal, the protection channel can carry extra services.
4.7 Planning the DNI Protection
The DNI protection can be configured on two interconnected nodes. The DNI protection
enhances the reliability of the services between the two rings.
4.8 Planning the Fiber-Shared Virtual Trail Protection
For the fiber-shared virtual trail protection, two or multiple ring networks share the same fiber.
The capacity of the fiber is classified and divided into different protection groups in VC-4
granularities. Thus, multiple network protection schemes can be used in one optical fiber. The

fiber-shared virtual trail protection enhances the survivability of the network and bandwidth
utilization.
4.9 Planning the Optical-Path-Shared MSP
For the optical-path-shared MSP, two MSP groups can be configured into one optical interface.
Thus, multiple MSP rings can share the same fiber and optical interfaces.
4.10 Planning the Ethernet RPR Protection
The RPR protection, used for the Ethernet, can coexist with the MSP, SNCP, SNCMP, and
SNCTP schemes at the SDH layer.
4.11 Planning the VP-Ring and VC-Ring Protection Schemes for the ATM Service
The VP-Ring and VC-Ring, used for the ATM services, can coexist with the MSP, SNCP,
SNCMP, and SNCTP schemes at the SDH layer.


Users can choose proper network protection schemes according to the features of network
protection schemes and application scenarios.
Adhere to the following principles when planning network protection.
l At the access layer, the service capacity is small, and most services are converged at a
central node. Thus, the unidirectional SNCP ring is applicable.
l In the case of the inter-office communication, the service capacity of each node is large,
and a larger service adding/dropping capability is required. Thus, the bidirectional MSP
ring is applicable.
l When services on the ring are discrete, the two-fiber bidirectional MSP is applicable. In
the case of extreme situations, when services only travel between two adjacent nodes, the
maximum service capacity on the ring is STM-N x K/2 ( "K" represents the number of
nodes). In this case, the resource utilization is large. However, the MSP, which needs the
support of the automatic protection switching (APS) protocol, has complex protection
mechanisms and strict network maintenance requirements.
l The MSP can protect node failures.
l The optical-path-shared MSP ring protects services in VC-4 granularities. This protection
scheme is used for services of a large volume. Generally, this scheme is used for the services
at the STM-64 and STM-16 levels.
l The SNCP scheme is applied to protect services at the VC-4, VC-3 or VC-12 level. Hence,
the SNCP scheme has more flexibility.
l The SNCP is the 1+1 protection, and the SNCMP is the N+1 protection, in which multiple
protection channels protect one working channel.
l The SNCTP scheme is applied to protect services at the VC-4 path. When the working
channel is faulty, services are switched to the protection channels.
l The SNCTP is mainly used at the backbone layer and the convergence layer. Compared to
the MSP, the SNCTP requires a simplified network topology.
l In the case of the inter-ring and ring with chain services, the SNCP, SNCMP, SNCTP or
MSP is applicable.
l Protection schemes for the chain network include the 1+1 linear MSP and the 1:N linear
MSP. In the case of 1:N linear MSP, protection routes can carry extra services. Thus, the
network utilization is enhanced. When rapid service restoration after the switching is
required, the 1+1 protection is applicable.
l The DNI is mainly used on intersecting rings and at gateway nodes with great service
capacity, or used for connecting tandem offices. The primary advantage of the DNI is that
it provides protection when multi-node failures occur.

l On the bidirectional MSP ring, services are configured on half of the VC-4 channels, and
the other half of the VC-4 channels are used as protection channels. If extra services are
configured on the protection channels, these services are unavailable when protection
switching occurs.
l When configuring an MSP ring, insert the two boards that form the ring into paired slots.
The paired slots are listed in Table 4-3.

multichannel optical interface board. Otherwise, services in the two directions of the ADM
are unavailable at the same time, when the board fails.
l When using the multichannel optical interface board to form an MSP ring, use the optical
interfaces with the same sequence number on the two boards that form the ring.

recommended if the services on the ring are centralized.
l When the SNCP and the MSP coexist, set the hold-off time of the SNCP longer than the
switching time (50 ms) of the MSP to avoid the interference between the SNCP and the
MSP.

To rationally and effectively plan the Ethernet RPR protection, the planning principles should
be followed.
4.10.1 Capabilities of Supporting the Ethernet RPR Protection

When planning the Ethernet RPR protection for the OptiX OSN 2500, first consider the
capabilities of supporting the Ethernet RPR protection.
In the case of the OptiX OSN 2500, the capabilities of supporting the Ethernet RPR protection
are as follows:

l The EVPL and EVPLAN services can be transmitted in the RPR ring network.
l The RPR ring network of the OptiX OSN 2500 supports three protection modes, wrapping,
steering (default) and wrapping+steering. When the number of nodes on the ring is less
than 16, the switching time of the steering mode is less than 50 ms.
l The RPR ring network of the OptiX OSN 2500 supports two protection revertive modes,

The RPR protection is applicable to the ring network. The RPR protection can rapidly restore
the Ethernet services when fiber cuts and link failures occur. The principles for planning the
RPR protection are as follows:
l The number of the RPR nodes should not exceed 255.
l Before activating the protocol, set a valid node ID. The node ID should be unique in the
entire network. Setting the node ID after activating the protocol can reactivate the protocol.
l The protection mode should be unique in the entire network. Select the protection mode
according to the following rules:
– When the number of nodes in the ring network is less than 16, the steering mode is
recommended. Thus, the switching time is kept less than 50 ms, and the bandwidth is
efficiently used.
– When the network is of a large scale, the wrapping+steering mode is recommended.
Thus, the switching time is kept less than 50 ms, the packet loss is reduced, and the
bandwidth is efficiently used.
l The bandwidth of the RPR ring network should be planned in a network wide scale. The
bandwidth of the ring A0 service should be smaller than the overall bandwidth of the ring.
Otherwise, the alarm indicating the reserved bandwidth crossing is reported.
l When the protection for the SDH layer and the RPR protection coexist, the hold-off time
of the RPR protection switching should be set. It is recommended that you set the hold-off
time to 200 ms. When the switching requirements are met, the protection for the SDH layer
should be activated first.

– In the case of the 1+1 protection, the switching occurs at the sink end of the service,
and the protection mode is the revertive mode.
– In the case of the 1:1 protection, the switching occurs at both the source and sink ends
of the service, and the protection mode is the non-revertive mode.
l The VP-Ring and VC-Ring protection schemes can coexist with the MSP, SNCP, SNCMP
and SNCTP protection schemes for the SDH layer.

To rationally and effectively plan the VP-Ring and VC-Ring protection, the planning principles
should be followed.
Adhere to the following principles when planning the VP-Ring and VC-Ring protection schemes
for the ATM services.
l It is recommended that you use the bidirectional MSP ring and VP-Ring/VC-Ring to form
the network. In this case, the VP-Ring or VC-Ring protection should be configured with a
hold-off time, which should exceed 4s. When the switching conditions are met, activate
the protection for the SDH layer first. If the switching at the SDH layer fails, activate the
VP-Ring or VC-Ring protection to realize the layered protection.
l In a network, when the VP-Ring or VC-Ring coexists with non-protection rings, the hold-
off time should be set to 0s. In this case, the VP-Ring or VC-Ring protection is of the first
level protection.
l Other protection schemes for the SDH layer can be combined with the VP-Ring or VC-
Ring. This configuration is not recommended because it is relatively complex and requires
greater bandwidth.
4.11.3 Planning Examples

The planning of the VP-Ring protection for the ATM services is taken as an example.
Service Requirements
In a city, the SDH network formed by NE 1, NE 2, NE 3 and NE 4 carries the ATM services.
The ATM services at NE 2, NE 3 and NE 4 originate from the digital subscriber line access
multiplexer (DSLAM). The ATM services should be transmitted to the ATM switch that serves
as the central node NE 1.
The ATM switch that serves as the central node provides one 155 Mbit/s optical interface to
access the ATM services from each node. The ATM services of each node are listed in Table
4-4.

Table 4-4 Requirements for the ATM services at each node

Point-to-point NE 4: provides the 155 Mbit/s POS and 34 NE 1 1 x 30 Mbit/s

Mbit/s interfaces 1 x 20 Mbit/s
The ATM services at each node are of the constant bit rate (CBR) type.
The ATM services should be protected.
Networking Protection
The ATM services should be protected by the VP-Ring protection, but the services at the SDH
layer are not provided with protection. See Figure 4-3.

Realization Schemes
The statistical multiplexing + VP-Ring protection scheme should be used.

On the working route, the ATM services accessed at NE 2, NE 3 and NE 4 are statistically
multiplexed into one VC-4. After that, they are converged at a port of the central node NE 1,
and then transmitted to the ATM switch at the upper layer.
On the protection route, the ATM services accessed at NE 2, NE 3 and NE 4 are statistically
multiplexed into another VC-4. After that, they are converged at the port used in the preceding
operation of the central node NE 1, and then transmitted to the upper layer ATM switch.
The directions of the working route and the protection route are different.
Hardware Configuration
Configure one ADQ1 board for NE 1 to converge the ATM services at each node, and then
transmit the services to the upper layer ATM switch through a 155 Mbit/s port.
Configure one ADQ1 board for NE 2, NE 3 and NE 4 respectively to access the ATM services
from the end office of DSLAM.
When accessing the ATM services through the 34M optical interface of NE 4, use both the ADQ1
and PL3 boards to access the 34 Mbit/s ATM services and to share the bandwidth on the ring.
Service Routes
Table 4-5 shows the working and protection routes at each node.

Planning Guidelines 5 Planning the DCN
5 Planning the DCN
About This Chapter
The OptiX OSN 2500 can construct the DCN in three ways, HWECC, IP over DCC, and OSI
over DCC. When planning the DCN, follow the basic principles and specific principles for
different construction modes.
5.1 DCN Schemes Supported by the Equipment

In the SDH network, the T2000 communicates with NEs through the DCN, and thus the T2000
can manage and maintain the NEs. The NEs in the DCN use the DCC bytes to communicate
with each other. The OptiX OSN 2500 supports the HWECC, IP over DCC, and OSI over DCC
to construct the DCN.
When constructing the DCN, select proper communication protocols according to the actual
networking situation, and follow the planning principles.
5.3 Planning NE IDs
NE IDs are used to identify Huawei transmission equipment. Thus, the NE IDs should be
configured when the DCN network uses the HWECC, IP over DCC, and OSI over DCC
protocols.
5.4 Planning the HWECC
For the HWECC, the data that supports the HWECC protocol is transmitted in the DCC. The
HWECC protocol, developed by Huawei, is a private communication protocol used for the DCN
networking of the optical equipment.
5.5 Planning the IP over DCC
For the IP over DCC, the data that supports the TCP/IP protocol is transmitted in the DCC.
5.6 Planning the OSI over DCC
For the OSI over DCC, the data that supports the OSI protocol is transmitted in the DCC.

5 Planning the DCN Planning Guidelines
5.1 DCN Schemes Supported by the Equipment

In the SDH network, the T2000 communicates with NEs through the DCN, and thus the T2000
can manage and maintain the NEs. The NEs in the DCN use the DCC bytes to communicate
with each other. The OptiX OSN 2500 supports the HWECC, IP over DCC, and OSI over DCC
to construct the DCN.
The OptiX OSN 2500 can construct the DCN in the following ways:
l The HWECC protocol is used to transmit data through the DCC. It is a private
communication protocol developed by Huawei for the DCN networking of the optical
network equipment.
l The IP over DCC indicates that the data transmitted through the DCC supports the
transmission control protocol and internet protocol (TCP/IP).
l The OSI over DCC indicates that the data transmitted through the DCC supports the open
systems interconnection (OSI) protocol.
As listed in Table 5-1, the Q2CXL for the OptiX OSN 2500 has four DCC resource allocation
modes.The default mode is mode 1. Mode 1 does not support the use of D4–D12 bytes as physical
transmission channels.
Table 5-1 DCC resource allocation of the OptiX OSN 2500

Channel type Supports D1–D3 and D4–D12 channels.
Operation Mode 1 Only supports 40 D1–D3 channels.

mode
Mode 2 Supports 10 D1–D3 channels.
Supports 10 D4–D12 channels.


Default protocol type D1–D3 D4–D12
HWECC IP
Default mode Mode 1
NOTE
When the OptiX OSN 2500 forms a hybrid network with equipment from other vendors that does not
support the IP or OSI standard communication protocol, the hybrid network provides solutions of
transparent transmission through the DCC bytes and transparent transmission of the management
information through the Ethernet service channels.


When constructing the DCN, select proper communication protocols according to the actual
networking situation, and follow the planning principles.
The principles for planning the DCN are as follows:
l When the OptiX OSN 2500 constructs a network with other Huawei equipment, the
HWECC or IP over DCC protocol is recommended. Use the same communication protocol
in the entire DCN network.
l When the OptiX OSN 2500 constructs a hybrid network with equipment from other
vendors, use the IP over DCC or OSI over DCC protocol according to the protocol
supported by the equipment from other vendors.
l The OptiX OSN 2500 constructs a hybrid network with equipment from other vendors. In
this case, if the equipment from other vendors do not support the IP over DCC or OSI over
DCC, use the DCC bytes or the Ethernet service channels to transparently transmit the
management information.
l When a communication protocol is used to construct the DCN network, properly set the
DCN network scale and divide the network according to the network situation. Thus, the
effect of large network scale on the DCN network can be reduced.
l The DCN network should be of the ring type to ensure the reliability of the network
communication. Thus, route protection can be provided when fiber cuts or NE
abnormalities occur. If fibers of the equipment cannot form a ring, extra DCN channels
should be constructed to form a ring, and thus the route protection function can be realized.
5.3 Planning NE IDs

NE IDs are used to identify Huawei transmission equipment. Thus, the NE IDs should be
configured when the DCN network uses the HWECC, IP over DCC, and OSI over DCC
protocols.
The principles for planning the NE IDs are as follows:
l The ID of each NE should be unique.

l In the same DCN network, the ID of each NE should be unique.
l An NE ID is 24 bits in binary, which can be divided into the former eight bits and the latter
16 bits.
– The former eight bits indicate the extended ID (the default value is 9), also called the
subnet number, which identifies different subnets. The subnet number cannot be 0 or
0xFF (255 in decimal).
– The latter 16 bits indicate the basic ID. The value of the basic ID cannot be 0 or 0xBFF0
(49136 in decimal), or be greater than 0xBFF0.
l In the ring network, the NE IDs should be increased one by one in the same direction along
the ring network.
l A complex network should be divided into rings and chains. First set IDs for NEs on the
ring from 1 to N, and then set the IDs for NEs on the chain as N+1, N+2,…

5.4 Planning the HWECC

For the HWECC, the data that supports the HWECC protocol is transmitted in the DCC. The
HWECC protocol, developed by Huawei, is a private communication protocol used for the DCN
networking of the optical equipment.
5.4.1 Capabilities of Supporting the HWECC
The OptiX OSN 2500 supports the HWECC.
When constructing the DCN by using the HWECC, follow the basic planning principles and
principles for planning the NE IDs, NE IP addresses, and gateway NEs.
5.4.1 Capabilities of Supporting the HWECC

The OptiX OSN 2500 supports the HWECC.
After the NE IDs in the network are set, the ECC communication is available without other
settings.
The HWECC of the OptiX OSN 2500 supports communication through fibers or Ethernet cables.
When no optical routes are available between nodes, set the extended ECC through Ethernet
cables.

When constructing the DCN by using the HWECC, follow the basic planning principles and
principles for planning the NE IDs, NE IP addresses, and gateway NEs.
Basic Principles
The HWECC protocol is mainly used to construct the DCN between Huawei transmission
equipment. Adhere to the following principles when planning the HWECC.
l When the OptiX OSN 2500 or other Huawei OptiX OSN series equipment is used as the
gateway NE, there should be less than 100 NEs in each HWECC subnet. When the OptiX
10G (Metro5000) , OptiX 2500+ (Metro3000) is used as the gateway NE, there should be less
than 50 NEs in each HWECC subnet.
l The HWECC subnet should be of the ring type to ensure that the route protection is available
when fiber cuts or NE abnormalities occur.
l The ECC communication should not be performed between different HWECC subnets.
l The OptiX OSN 2500 automatically assigns ECC channels to each SDH board. As the
number of the ECC channels is restrained by the equipment, the unnecessary ECC channels
should be shut down.
l The number of nodes for each gateway NE is limited. Thus, when the number of nodes
exceeds the limit, mutiple gateway NEs can be configured.
l In normal situations, do not manually configure the ECC routes.
l When the extended ECC is required for communication, manually configure the extended
ECC. The ECC should not be automatically extended. Thus, the bandwidth between NEs,
which uses the ECC for communication, can be saved.

Principles for Plannig NE IDs

For details, see 5.3 Planning NE IDs.
Principles for Planning IP Addresses

The IP address is used for communication between gateway NEs and the T2000. Thus, the
gateway NEs should be configured with IP addresses. In addition, NEs that use the extended
ECC functions should be configured with IP addresses.
In normal situations, the IP addresses of NEs need not manually configured. The IP addresses
vary with the NE IDs. The format of the IP address is "129.E.A.B". "E" represents the extended
ID of the NE (The value is 9 by default), and "A.B" represents the former eight bits and the latter
eight bits. When the IP addresses are manually configured, the mapping relation between the IP
addresses and the IDs is unavailable.
By default, the subnet IP address is "129.9.0.0", and the subnet mask is "255.255.0.0".
Principles for Planning Gateway NEs

Adhere to the following principles when planning the gateway NEs.
l Correctly set the IP addresses and subnet masks for the gateway NEs.
l Only the equipment connected to the T2000 through cables can be configured as gateway
NEs.
l In actual networking, the traffic volume of the gateway NEs is large. NEs with large ECC
management abilities should be configured as gateway NEs to ensure stable
communication. In addition, gateway NEs should form a star network with other NEs to
reduce the traffic volume of other NEs.
l It is recommended that you select a standby gateway NE to ensure the stability of the
network connection. The standby gateway NE should meet the requirements for the active
gateway NE. In addition, the standby gateway NE can manage a portion of NEs, and the
active and standby gateway NEs mutually back up one another. Thus, the network stability
can be ensured.
5.5 Planning the IP over DCC

For the IP over DCC, the data that supports the TCP/IP protocol is transmitted in the DCC.
5.5.1 Capabilities of Supporting the IP over DCC
The OptiX OSN 2500 supports the IP over DCC, which is realized by the TCP/IP protocol.
When constructing the DCN by using the IP over DCC, follow the basic planning principles and
principles for planning the NE IDs and NE IP addresses.
5.5.1 Capabilities of Supporting the IP over DCC

The OptiX OSN 2500 supports the IP over DCC, which is realized by the TCP/IP protocol.
l The NEs can be accessed to the T2000 through the gateway NEs or be directly accessed to
the T2000.
l The TCP/IP application protocols, such as the FTP, Telnet, and SNMP, can be supported.

l The open shortest path first (OSPF) dynamic routing protocol and static routing protocol
are supported.
Through the IP over DCC, the OptiX OSN 2500 can form a hybrid DCN network with equipment
from other vendors that supports the IP over DCC.

When constructing the DCN by using the IP over DCC, follow the basic planning principles and
principles for planning the NE IDs and NE IP addresses.
Basic Principles
The IP over DCC is mainly used for managing the hybrid network composed of the OptiX OSN
2500 and equipment from other vendors that supports the IP over DCC. The IP over DCC is also
used for managing the network composed of Huawei transmission equipment. Adhere to the
following principles when planning the IP over DCC.
l In the same OSPF area, the number of NEs should not exceed 60.
l When the T2000 is used to manage the NEs, the number of non-gateway NEs accessed by
the same gateway NE should not exceed 60 (It is recommended that the number does not
exceed 50.)

Principles for Planning IP Addresses

Adhere to the following principles when planning the IP addresses.
l The IP address of each NE should be unique.
l NEs can use the standard IP address types A, B, and C, in which the IP addresses of NEs
range from "1.0.0.1" to "223.255.255.254". However, the broadcast addresses, network
addresses and address "127.x.x.x" cannot be used. The subnet addresses "192.168.x.x" and
"192.169.x.x" cannot be used.
l The IP addresses should work with the subnet masks, and they should support subnet masks
that have variable length.
l When the NEs directly access the T2000 by using the static routing protocol, it is
recommended that the gateway NEs and non-gateway NEs use different IP subnets.
l If two networks are connected through the Ethernet, they should be in different IP subnets.
Thus, all NEs can be accessed through the T2000 when the network is divided into areas.
5.6 Planning the OSI over DCC

For the OSI over DCC, the data that supports the OSI protocol is transmitted in the DCC.
5.6.1 Capabilities of Supporting the OSI over DCC
The OptiX OSN 2500 supports the OSI over DCC, which is realized by using the lower four
layers of protocols in the OSI standard seven-layer protocols.

When constructing the DCN by using the OSI over DCC, follow the basic planning principles
and principles for planning the NE IDs, dividing network areas, selecting gateway NEs, and
configuring roles of the LAPD of optical interfaces.
5.6.3 Planning Cases
A case is given to show how to plan the address and node type, and how to select gateway NEs
in the DCN network areas.
5.6.1 Capabilities of Supporting the OSI over DCC

The OptiX OSN 2500 supports the OSI over DCC, which is realized by using the lower four
layers of protocols in the OSI standard seven-layer protocols.
l The OptiX OSN 2500 uses the format of the simple network service access point (NSAP)
address as the node protocol identification.
l The OptiX OSN 2500 supports three types of nodes, the end system (ES), level 1
Intermediate systems (L1-IS), and level 2 intermediate systems (L2-IS).
l The IS-IS protocol is used between ISs to dynamically exchange the routing information.
l The ES-IS protocol is used between the ES and the IS to perform the labor discovery and
to exchange the routing information.
l The OptiX OSN 2500 supports the IS-IS Level 2 protocol to realize route layering.
l The OptiX OSN 2500 supports the TP4 protocol.
l NEs can be accessed to the T2000 through the gateway NEs or be directly accessed to the
T2000.
Through the OSI over DCC, the OptiX OSN 2500 can form the hybrid DCN network with
equipment from other vendors that supports the OSI over DCC.

When constructing the DCN by using the OSI over DCC, follow the basic planning principles
and principles for planning the NE IDs, dividing network areas, selecting gateway NEs, and
configuring roles of the LAPD of optical interfaces.
Basic Principles
The features of the OSI over DCC communication are mainly used for managing the hybrid
network constructed by the OptiX OSN 2500 and equipment from other vendors. When the
network is constructed only by Huawei transmission equipment, the OSI over DCC is not
recommended.
Only nodes at the network terminal can be configured as the ES. The functions of the ES routing
are limited, which prevents network expansion. Thus, it is not recommended that you configure
the equipment as the ES during the networking. Huawei T2000 is operating as a node of the ES
network.
By default, the L1-IS is the node type of Huawei equipment, which only supports the intra-area
routing (Level 1 Routing).
If the equipment supports the inter-area routing (Level 2 Routing), the node type of the network
should be configured as the L2-IS. The L2-IS maintains two routing tables. One of the two
routing tables is used for the intra-area routing, and the other is used for the inter-area routing.
The OptiX OSN 2500 supports the IS-IS Level 2 routing functions. When the OSI
communication protocol is used, the network should be divided into areas according to the

network scale. In the entire DCN network, the number of areas cannot exceed 32. The number
of NEs in the same area cannot exceed 50.
The DCN network should be constructed as a ring network to provide route protection when
fiber cuts or NE abnormalities occur.
When the network is constructed by the OptiX OSN 2500 and equipment from other vendors,
the network planning should be based on the design principles for equipment from other vendors.

Dividing Network Areas

The OSI protocol supports the functions of route layering. It uses the SYS ID to realize the intra-
area routing, and the AREA ID to realize the inter-area routing. When planning the DCN
network, properly divide the areas and assign the number of NEs in each area according to the
topology situation of the network.
In the case of a small-scale network with less than 50 NEs, there is no need to divide the network
into areas. In this case, set the node types of all NEs to the L1-IS, and set the same AREA ID to
the NSAPs of all NEs.
In the case of a large-scale network, divide the network according to the following principles:
l Divide the DCN network into multiple areas to facilitate management.

l In each area, select multiple NEs to function as the L2-IS. It is recommended that you select
two NEs that mutually back up each other, in each area.
l In the entire DCN network, all L2 equipment should be consecutive.
Selecting Gateway NEs

When the OSI over DCC is used to create the DCN, create the TP4 connection between the
T2000 and the gateway NEs. The management data transmitted by the T2000 to the non-gateway
NEs should be forwarded by the gateway NEs. When creating the gateway NEs on the T2000
interface, enter the NE IDs and specify the NSAP addresses. When creating the non-gateway
NEs, enter the NE IDs and specify their gateway NEs.
When all nodes in the DCN network are running the OSI protocol stack, it is recommended that
you do not create all NEs as the gateway NEs. Select a portion of nodes as the gateway NEs,
and create other NEs as the non-gateway NEs and specify their gateway NEs. Each gateway NE
should manage less than 64 non-gateway NEs to avoid overloading the gateway NEs and
reducing the overall T2000 system performance.
When selecting the gateway NEs, select the NEs close to the T2000 on the topology. Thus, less
overhead bytes are needed when the gateway NEs communicate with the T2000 and the
efficiency can be enhanced.
If route layering is supported when you divide the areas, select one NE or multiple NEs in each
area as the gateway NE or gateway NEs. When creating the non-gateway NEs, specify their
gateway NE in the local area.
Select a standby gateway NE for the non-gateway NEs to ensure the access reliability of the
T2000.

Configuring Roles of the LAPD of Optical Interfaces

When using the OSI protocol in the communication between optical interfaces, use the LAPD
protocol at the link layer realized by the optical interfaces. According to the requirements for
the LAPD protocol, set different roles for the LAPD at both the ends of the interconnected optical
interfaces.
There are two roles of the LAPD, "User" and "Network". The principle for setting the roles is
that the optical interfaces at the two ends interconnected through fibers should be set to different
roles. The optical interface at one end should be set to "User", and that at the other end should
be set to "Network".

A case is given to show how to plan the address and node type, and how to select gateway NEs
in the DCN network areas.
Figure 5-1 shows that when the network is constructed by Huawei equipment and equipment
from other vendors, the OSI over DCC is used to construct the DCN network.

When planning the DCN network, divide the entire network into three areas. The AREA IDs
for the three areas are "391F1190", "391F1200", and "391F1210" (in hex). The equipment at
the core layer should be configured as the L2-IS, and the equipment at the edge layer should be
configured as the L1-IS. In addition, select NEs close to the T2000 on the topology as the gateway
NEs.
After the NE AREA ID and NE ID are configured, the NSAP address of an NE is determined
and it is unique. For example, the NSAP address of NE 01 is 391F120008003E0900011D.

NOTE
As shown in Figure 5-1, the gateway NEs are the L2 equipment. However, this does not indicate that only
the L2 equipment can be gateway NEs. The L1 equipment can also be gateway NEs.
When the OSI protocol is used, the L2-IS nodes in the network should be consecutive. Thus,
when dividing areas, properly select the L2-IS nodes. As shown in Figure 5-1, NE 03 and NE
13 are configured as L1-ISs. In this case, the T2000 cannot manage NEs in AREA B and AREA
C, and the network communication is abnormal, because the L2 equipment is not consecutive.

board types: ECXL, GSCC and SL1/4/16, respectively seated in the logical slots 80–81, 82–
83 and 9–10.

Adhere to the following principles when planning SDH services.
l Choose proper SDH processing boards according to the interface rate and interface quantity.
l Choose proper optical modules according to the distance among nodes in the network and
the attenuation. Proper optical modules must be used to avoid that the received optical
power is lower than the receiver sensitivity or overload optical power. For details on
technical specifications of the SDH processing boards, refer to Chapter 11 "Technical
Specifications" in the OptiX OSN 2500 Intelligent Optical Transmission System Product
Description.
l The SLT1 board is mainly used to access local services or to extend links. The SLT1 can
also provide line interfaces, but this is not the main function of the SLT1.
l If the N1SEP1 is configured as SEP1 on the T2000, services can be accessed only from the
two electrical interfaces on the front panel. When the N1SEP1 is configured as SEP, the
EU08 or OU08 interface board should be used to access eight channels of electrical or
optical interfaces, or the EU04 interface board should be used to access four channels of
electrical interfaces.

l Used with the EU08 or EU04, the SEP accesses and processes STM-1 electrical signals.
Used with the TSB8 or TSB4, the SLH1 can be configured with the TPS protection.
l When the SEP board is used, an interface board is required. The interface board should be
housed in the slot exclusive for the processing board.

The insertion loss of the N2DCU is 3 to 5 dB less than that of the N1DCU.

The BA2, BPA or external COA can be used as an optical booster amplifier board. Among these
three types of boards, the BA2 or BPA is recommended.
Generally, the BA2, BPA or DCU should be used with a long-distance optical transmission
module to realize long-distance transmission without electrical regeneration. Adhere to the
following principles when planning optical booster amplifier boards:
l Use a BA2 with the optical transmission module, whose interfaces are of the V-16.2Je type.
l Use a BA2 and a BPA with the optical transmission module, whose interfaces are of the
U-16.2Je type.
l Use a BA2 and a BPA with the optical transmission module, whose interfaces are of the
Ue-16.2c, Ue-16.2d or Ue-16.2f type.

Using the COA, the OptiX OSN 2500 can transmit optical signals for a distance from 80 to 200
km.
The ROP unit is used to amplify 2.5 Gbit/s optical signals and to transmit optical signals of 1550-
nm wavelength for a long distance (70 dB). If the fiber attenuation is 0.2 dB/km, the optical
signals can be transmitted for 350 km without regeneration.
The ROP unit can also be used to amplify 2.5Gbit/s optical signals.
If the FIB is jointly used with the ROP to filter wavelengths and isolate the optical signals from
the ROP to the optical receive equipment.

When planning the Ethernet services, follow the basic principles and select the corresponding
service types according to the actual network situation.
Basic Planning Principles

Adhere to the following principles when planning Ethernet services:
l Use the N1EGT2, N1EFT8 or N1EFT8A for Ethernet services that require only transparent
transmission. Use the N1EFS4, N2EFS4, N1EFS0, N2EFS0, N4EFS0, N1EMS4,
N1EGS4, N3EGS4 or N2EGS2 for services that require the Layer 2 switching and shared
bandwidth.
l The Ethernet data frames should be encapsulated before being accessed into an SDH
network. The connected Ethernet boards should encapsulate data frames in the same format.
For example, the Ethernet boards of the OptiX OSN 2500 that encapsulate data frames in
the GFP, LAPS or HDLC format cannot be connected to the ET1 board of the OptiX 2500
+(Metro3000) that encapsulate data frames in the ML-PPP format.
l The Ethernet boards have GE and FE optical interfaces. Optical interfaces of the same type
should be used to connect Ethernet processing boards.
l Choose a proper optical module for the Ethernet board with GE optical interfaces according
to the transmission distance.
l If an Ethernet processing board is used with an interface board, more optical interfaces are
available.
l Set LCAS, CAR and flow control for the Ethernet services as required.
l Apply different protection schemes according to the boards used:
– Configure TPS protection for the N2EFS0 and N4EFS0.
– Configure BPS protection for the N1EGS4, N3EGS4 and N1EMS4.
– Configure PPS protection also for the N1EGS4, N3EGS4 and N1EMS4.
Selection of Service Types

Ethernet services are of four types, which are EPL, EVPL, EPLAN and EVPLAN.
Ⅰ. EPL service
l The EPL service can be used in three schemes:

– Scheme Ι: transparent transmission EPL
– Scheme Ⅱ: port-shared EPL
– Scheme Ш: VCTRUNK-shared EPL

l If scheme Ι is applied, the EPL service uses the line bandwidth exclusively and is isolated
from other services. Hence, the EPL service is of higher security. This scheme for EPL
services can be used for private lines of key customers.
l If scheme Ⅱ or scheme Ш is applied, the point-to-multipoint transmission of Ethernet
services is realized. By identifying VLAN tags, several EPL services can share the same
port or VCTRUNK. As a result, the port resources are saved. The services of different users
share the bandwidth and content for bandwidth in a fair manner. Such a scheme is applicable
if users require large-volume services at different time.
Ⅱ. EVPL service
l The VLAN IDs and MPLS tags can be used to isolate the EVPL services of different users
or the EVPL services of different departments in the same company. In this way, the data
of the same VLAN in the same link is isolated.
l Ingress and Egress indicate two operations performed to the label switch path (LSP). Ingress
indicates that the MPLS label is added and Egress indicates that the MPLS label is stripped.
When the EVPL services enter a network, the Ingress operation is performed. When the
EVPL services exit a network, the Egress operation is performed. This is a typical
application of the EVPL service.
l The EVPL service can be applied in the Transit scheme to transparently transmit and
forward the MPLS data packets.
l The transmission efficiency of the EVPL service is low and complex configuration is
required. As a result, use the EPL service instead of the EVPL service unless the EPL
service is required.
Ш. EPLAN service
l The EPLAN services can dynamically share the bandwidth at multiple points. As a result,
the EPLAN service is in line with the dynamic feature of data services and the bandwidth
resources are saved.
l The configured EPLAN service should not form a ring. Otherwise, a broadcast storm is
caused. If the EPLAN service is configured into a ring, the RSTP protocol should be enabled
in the network to avoid broadcast storms.
Ⅳ. EVPLAN service
l The VLAN IDs and MPLS labels can be used to isolate the EVPLAN services of different
users or the EVPLAN services of different departments in the same company.
l The EVPLAN services can dynamically share the bandwidth at multiple points. Different
from the EPLAN service, the EVPLAN service requires that any two nodes in the network
be connected by an LSP to form a mesh network. In addition, the service features help
prevent broadcast storms effectively.
l The MPLS technology is applied for the EVPLAN service. As a result, the transmission
efficiency is lower than that of the EPLAN service and the configuration is more complex.
Use the EPLAN service to meet the service requirements unless the EVPLAN service is
specifically required.
6.6.3 Planning Transparently Transmitted EPL Services

The transparently transmitted EPL services can be used to plan the Ethernet services.
Service Requirement
Company A and company B at NE 1 need to transmit data services respectively to company A
and company B at NE 2. It is required that services of company A and company B are totally

isolated from each other. Both company A and company B provide 100M Ethernet electrical
interfaces. Company A requires 10M bandwidth and company B requires 45M bandwidth.
Networking Application
Services of company A and company B are required to be transparently transmitted between NE
1 and NE 2. Two OptiX OSN 2500 systems can be used as NE 1 and NE 2. Figure 6-3 shows
the networking diagram.

At NE 1, services from company A and company B are accessed respectively from Ethernet
ports. At NE 2, services from company A and company B are also respectively accessed from
Ethernet ports.
In the line, the EPL service from company A is carried by one VCTRUNK and the EPL service
from company B is carried by another VCTRUNK.
Application Scheme
Use the port routing scheme for the transparently transmitted EPL services.
Configure one EFS4 for NE 1 and NE 2 to access Ethernet services from company A and
company B respectively.

6.6.4 Planning Port-Shared EPL Services

The port-shared EPL services can be used to plan the Ethernet services.
Service Requirement
The headquarters of company A is located at NE 1 and two departments are located at NE 2.
The headquarters need to communicate with the two branches. The two departments should be
isolated from each other and should each use 10M bandwidth. The Ethernet switch of company
A provides 100M Ethernet electrical interfaces and the Ethernet switch at the headquarters
supports the VLAN.
Services from the two departments are transmitted to the headquarters at NE 1 and are then
converged. Services from the headquarters are also transmitted to the two departments at NE 2.
The OptiX OSN 2500 equipment can be used to meet the service requirement. Figure 6-4 shows
the networking diagram.

are then output from one Ethernet port.
In the distributing direction, the Ethernet processing board of NE 1 processes the services (VLAN
ID: 100 and 200) from the headquarters of company A. The Ethernet processing board of NE 1
then uses different VCTRUNKs to distribute the respective services to the two departments at
NE 2.

6.6.5 Planning VCTRUNK-Shared EPL Services

The VCTRUNK-shared EPL services can be used to plan the Ethernet services.

Service Requirement
User A and user A’ are community users, who are at different places. User A needs to
communicate with user A’. User B and user B’ are cyber cafe users, who are also at different
places. User B needs to communicate with user B’. The services of community users are totally
isolated from the services of cyber cafe users. Community users use the network mostly at night,
whereas cyber cafe users use the network mostly during day. Hence, community users can share
a 10M bandwidth with cyber cafe users. The Ethernet equipment of the users provides 100M
Ethernet electrical interface, but does not support the VLAN.
The OptiX OSN 2500 systems can be used for the community users and cyber cafe users to share
a 10M bandwidth. Figure 6-6 shows the networking diagram.

At NE 1, services of user A and user B are accessed from Port 1 and Port 2 respectively. VLAN
tags (VLAN ID: 100 and 200) are then added to the services, which are then converged by an

Ethernet processing board. The converged services are transmitted through one VCTRUNK to
NE 2.
At NE 2, the Ethernet processing board processes the converged services (VLAN ID: 100 and
200) from NE 1 and distributes the services to user A’ and user B’ respectively, according to
the VLAN tags.
Configure one EFS4 board for NE 1 to access Ethernet services from user A and user B.

6.6.6 Planning VCTRUNK-Shared EVPL Services

The VCTRUNK-shared EVPL services can be used to plan the Ethernet services.
Service Requirement
Two branches of company A are located at NE 1 and NE 2 respectively. The department of
branch 1 needs to communicate with the same department of branch 2. The service of one
department is isolated from the service of another department. The two departments should share
a 10M bandwidth. The VLAN ID for the services of the two departments of company A is 100.
The two departments of company A can provide 100M Ethernet electrical interfaces.
The services of the two departments are of the same VLAN ID and share a bandwidth. Hence,
such services can be configured as EVPL services. The EVPL service is encapsulated in the
MPLS-L2 VPN format and supports the identification of external labels (Tunnel) and internal
labels (VC).
The OptiX OSN 2500 supports the EVPL service and can be used to meet the previous
transmission requirements. Figure 6-8 shows the networking diagram.

The services of the two departments are of the same VLAN ID and share a bandwidth. Hence,
it is necessary to add MPLS labels for identification.
At NE 1, the services of departments A and B are accessed from Port 1 and Port 2, and are added
with MPLS labels (Tunnel label and VC label). The Ethernet processing board converges and
then transmits the services in one VCTRUNK to NE 2.
At NE 2, the Ethernet processing board processes the services with different MPLS labels from
NE 1 and distributes the services to the two departments of branch 2 respectively, according to
the MPLS labels.
Configure one EFS4 board for NE 1 to access Ethernet services of department A and department
B.

6.6.7 Planning EVPL Services (Transmit Scheme)

The EVPL services (Transmit Scheme) can be used to plan the Ethernet services.
Service Requirement
Two branches of company A are located at different places and need to transmit data services
to each other. The router that supports the MPLS is connected to the MSTP equipment. The
transmitted data packets have the MPLS labels. The MSTP equipment transmits only the MPLS
data packets and the bandwidth is 10M. Company A provides 100M Ethernet electrical
interfaces.
The OptiX OSN 2500 can be used to transparently transmit the MPLS data packets of the two
branches. Figure 6-10 shows the networking diagram.

6.6.8 Planning EPLAN Services

The EPLAN services can be used to plan the Ethernet services.
Service Requirement
Three branches of company A are located at NE 1, NE 2 and NE 3. As required, the three branches
can communicate with each other. The three branches dynamically share a 10M bandwidth. The
Ethernet equipment of the company A provides 100M Ethernet electrical interface and the
VLAN ID is 100.
The three branches can communicate with each other and dynamically share a bandwidth. The
EPLAN service meets the requirements. Using a virtual bridge (VB), the Ethernet processing
board of the OptiX OSN 2500 can perform Layer 2 switching on the Ethernet data. Hence, the
OptiX OSN 2500 supports the EPLAN service. Figure 6-11 shows the networking diagram for
the EPLAN service.

6.6.9 Planning EVPLAN Services

The EVPLAN services can be used to plan the Ethernet services.
Service Requirement
Three branches of company A are located at NE 1, NE 2 and NE 3. As required, the three branches
can communicate with each other. Three branches of company B are located at NE 1, NE 2 and
NE 3. As required, the three branches also can communicate with each other. The services of
company A and B are isolated from each other and share the line bandwidth. The data packets
of company A and company B are of the same VLAN ID. Both company A and company B
provide 100M Ethernet electrical interfaces. The Ethernet equipment of users supports the
VLAN.
The EVPLAN services can dynamically share the bandwidth and support the isolation of MPLS
labels for the data packets accessed into the same VLAN. The data services with the same VLAN
ID are accessed into the same NE and dynamically share the bandwidth. The EVPLAN service
can meet the service requirements. Figure 6-12 shows the networking diagram for the EVPLAN
service.

Different from the EPLAN service, the EVPLAN service is further encapsulated in the MPLS
format. The data packets of the same VLAN ID are identified according to the MPLS labels.
Hence, data packets of the same VLAN but of different VBs can be carried by the same
VCTRUNK. In this way, several branches of company A and company B dynamically share the
bandwidth and have isolated services.
Application Scheme
The VB+MPLS routing scheme is used for the EVPLAN service.
The Ethernet processing boards of the OptiX OSN 2500 support the creation of VBs and the
MPLS encapsulation. The EVPLAN service supports the MPLS encapsulation. Hence, several
VB users share the same VCTRUNK. In this way, several VB users dynamically share the
bandwidth.
At NE 1, branch 1 of company A is of VB1 and branch 1 of company B is of VB2. In one

direction, VB1 and VB2 share VCTRUNK 1, which is bound with five VC-12s. In the other
direction, VB1 and VB2 share VCTRUNK 2, which is also bound with five VC-12s. In this way,
VB1 (company A) and VB2 (company B) dynamically share a 10M bandwidth. The application
schemes for NE 2 and NE 3 are the same as that for NE 1.
The EVPLAN service requires that any two nodes be connected by an LSP.
Configure one EFS0 and one ETF8 interface boards for NE 1. Use two Ethernet ports to access
Ethernet services from branch 1 of company A and branch 1 of company B respectively.

When planning the RPR services, follow the basic principles and select the corresponding service
types according to the actual network situation.

The RPR boards support only the EVPL and EVPLAN services.
The Ethernet data frames should be encapsulated before being accessed into an SDH network.
The connected Ethernet boards should encapsulate data frames in the same format.
The RPR boards have GE and FE optical interfaces. Optical interfaces of the same type should
be used to connect Ethernet processing boards.
Choose a proper optical module for the Ethernet board that has GE interfaces according to the
transmission distance.
If one Ethernet processing board is used with an interface board, more interfaces are available.
Set the LCAS, CAR and flow control for the Ethernet services as required.
Set the quality of service (QoS) class for different services.
When an RPR involves more than one ring, connection at the electrical layer is required.
Selection of Service Types

The RPR boards of the OptiX OSN 2500 support the EVPL and EVPLAN services. With the
guaranteed QoS, services also share the bandwidth, fairly content and have the switching
protection.
Private lines have the following features in terms of the structure:
l The services are accessed at many points.

l The services are widely distributed.
l Lower service bandwidth is required.
Due to these features, the RPR single-ring structure is not suitable for private lines. In addition,
EPL services require that the bandwidth should be guaranteed for the service of a higher priority.
As a result, the advantages of the RPR such as fairness contention and statistical multiplexing
are not fully displayed. Hence, it is recommended that you use Ethernet boards that do not have
the RPR features, for the EPL services.
In a transmission network, the common services are convergence services that require large
capacity but lower QoS. If the Ethernet processing boards that have Layer 2 switching are used
to transmit services, the following problems may occur.
l When the ring-shared scheme without Layer 2 switching is applied, all services can share
the bandwidth. If one node has large traffic volume, the bandwidth for the other nodes
cannot be guaranteed.
l If the bandwidth for each node is limited, the efficiency of sharing the bandwidth is not
realized.

l Ethernet services are always protected at the SDH layer and require bandwidth for extra
services.
The RPR is a ring technology used to dynamically share the bandwidth. Hence, the RPR is a
proper solution for transmitting services of large granularities and low priority. The fairness
algorithm is used to achieve traffic equilibrium and the bandwidth is effectively used. In addition,
the Ethernet ring protection is provided to the services and the protection switching time is less
than 50 ms.
6.7.3 Planning EVPL Services for RPR Boards

The EVPL services for RPR boards can be used to plan the RPR services.
Service Requirement
Company A and company B are located at NE 2, and company C is located at NE 3. The Ethernet
services from companies A, B and C are to be converged at the central node, NE 1, and are then
to be transmitted to the backbone Ethernet equipment through GE interfaces. The Ethernet
services of the three companies must be isolated from each other. The Ethernet equipment at
NE 1 supports the MPLS.
The Ethernet services from companies A and B are output from FE electrical interfaces and the
Ethernet services from company C are output from GE optical interfaces. All EPL services share
the bandwidth.
The RPR can be used to meet the service requirements. The RPR is jointly used with the MPLS
technology to provide EVPL services that can share the bandwidth.
In Figure 6-13, NE 1–NE 4 are OptiX OSN 2500 NEs. Configure the Ethernet processing boards
that support the RPR features for NE 1, NE 2 and NE 3. The EVPL services can then be provided.

6.7.4 Planning EVPLAN Services for RPR Boards

The EVPLAN services for RPR boards ban be used to plan the RPR services.
Service Requirement
The community services are accessed from NE 1, NE 2 and NE 3 at different places. The
community users at the three places should be able to communicate with each other. The
community services are converged at NE 1 and then transmitted to the backbone Ethernet
equipment through GE interfaces. The common services are accessed from NE 1, NE 2 and NE
3 at different places. The users at the three places should be able to communicate with each other.
The common services are converged at NE 1 and then transmitted to the backbone Ethernet
equipment through GE interfaces. The Ethernet equipment at place A supports the stack VLAN
tags. The community services and the common services should be isolated from each other but
share the 2 x VC-4 bandwidth. Effective protection should be provided to the Ethernet services
and the protection switching time should be less than 50 ms.
The community services include video and virtual private network (VPN) services. The common
services include IP phone and cyber cafe services, which require different priorities. For video
and IP phone services, the bandwidth should be guaranteed and the jitter should be kept under
a proper level. For the VPN service, the bandwidth should be guaranteed and extra services
should be transmitted with the best effort. The cyber cafe services should be transmitted with
the best effort.
The VLAN tags can be used to isolate different services at the same place.

The previous service requirements are listed as follows:
l The bandwidth should be dynamically shared by multiple nodes.
l Services must be isolated.
l The protection at the Ethernet layer must be provided.
l Services of different QoS must be provided according to the service type.
To meet the previous requirements, you can use an RPR to carry the EVPLAN services.
In Figure 6-14, NE 1–NE 4 are OptiX OSN 2500 NEs. Configure the Ethernet processing boards
that support the RPR features for the four NEs. The EVPLAN services can then be provided.

As shown in Figure 6-15, two stack VLAN domains are present on the RPR. The user domain

services of stack VLAN 1 and stack VLAN 2 are actually two EVPLAN services. VB 1 for the
EVPLAN 1 service belongs to stack VLAN 1 and VB 2 of the EVPLAN 2 service belongs to
stack VLAN 2. Each VC may include several VLANs, such as VLAN 1 and VLAN 2. The RPR
1 port belongs to all stack VLAN domains. All services are finally connected to the Internet
through NE 1.
You can set a priority for each port on the RPR. Hence, services of different QoS can be provided
(three priorities).
Configure one EGR2 board for NE 1 to converge and then transmit services to the Ethernet

IMA services, follow the basic principles.
6.8.1 Capability of Supporting the ATM and IMA Services
The OptiX OSN 2500 supports the ATM services, such as the CBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VBR, and UBR.

6.8.1 Capability of Supporting the ATM and IMA Services

The OptiX OSN 2500 supports the ATM services, such as the CBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VBR, and UBR.
The OptiX OSN 2500 provides four ATM boards, which are the ADL4, ADQ1, IDL4 and IDQ1.
The IDL4 and IDQ1 support the IMA function. Table 6-21 lists the features of the ADL4 and

protection

When planning the ATM and IMA services, follow the basic principles and select the
corresponding service types according to the actual network situation.

Choose the proper optical modules according to the transmission distance.
When the E3 ATM service is accessed, configure the ATM processing board for the E3 service.
When an IMA board is used to process the IMA service, configure an E1 service processing
board.
The ATM service can be protected by using the protection schemes for the SDH network. It is
recommended to use a bidirectional MSP ring and a VP-Ring or VC-Ring for networking. In

this way, if the SDH network does not provide any protection, you can use the VP-Ring or VC-
Ring protection to protect the ATM service.
According to the importance of the service, decide whether to use the 1+1 protection for the
IMA boards.
Set the traffic parameters according to the service type.
Selection of Application Schemes

Both the ATM and IMA boards support the transparent transmission, multicast and statistical
multiplexing of the ATM service.
The basic function of the MSTP equipment is to transparently transmit ATM services in a point-
to-point manner. This function has the following features:
l The bandwidth of the SDH equipment is used exclusively and thus the bandwidth utilization
is of a low rate.
l The protection schemes for the SDH network are used to provide the SDH-layer protection.
As a result, the reliability is increased.
The multicast is a point-to-point application scheme. For example, a message is transmitted from
the central node to other nodes in the network. The multicast services are carried by the SDH
network. Each multicast service uses a specific bandwidth exclusively and thus the bandwidth
utilization is of a low rate.
The statistical multiplexing of the ATM services is widely used to statistically multiplex ATM
services accessed from different nodes into one VC-4. The VC-4s are converged to one port of
the central node and then transmitted to the ATM switch at the upper layer. In this way, both
the bandwidth resource and the port resource are saved.
6.8.3 Planning Transparently Transmitted ATM Services

The method of planning the transparently transmitted ATM services is defined.
Service Requirement
The ATM switch at one place needs to communicate with the ATM switch at another place. The
bandwidth is 100 Mbit/s. The ATM switch provides 155 Mbit/s optical interfaces and the service
type is CBR.
The services between the two places are important and must be protected.
The OptiX OSN 2500 can be used to transmit the ATM services between the two places. Figure
6-16 shows the networking diagram.

Use two OptiX OSN 2500 systems at the two places and the two systems are named NE 1 and
NE 2. Each OptiX OSN 2500 NE is connected to the 155 Mbit/s optical interface of the ATM
switch.
The ATM services between NE 1 and NE 2 must be protected. For this purpose, configure a
working trail and a protection trail in the MSTP network. Configure the service as a pass-through
service at the SDH NEs that the working trail and the protection trail involve.
Application Scheme
Use the point-to-point transparent transmission scheme.
The protection in the SDH network can be used to protect the service.
Configure one ADQ1 for both NE 1 and NE 2 to access the 155 Mbit/s ATM service from the
ATM switch.
NOTE
The ATM 155 Mbit/s optical interface shares the same features with the SDH STM-1 optical interface. If
MSTP equipment is not required to process the ATM service, you can use the SDH line board, such as the
SLQ1, instead of the ATM board.

internal port is the logical port VCTRUNK, which is the port used to connect the ATM processing module
and the SDH cross-connect module.
The VPI and VCI for the working route and the protection route can be the same or can be different.

6.8.4 Planning Multicast ATM Services

The method of planning the multicast ATM services is defined.
Service Requirement
The ATM service (TV program) at place A needs to be transmitted to places B, C and D in a
unidirectional manner. The ATM service is from the ATM switch and the bandwidth for the
service is 50 Mbit/s.
The ATM switch provides 155 Mbit/s optical interfaces and the service is of the CBR type.
The ATM processing boards of the OptiX OSN 2500 support the unidirectional multicast of the
ATM services.
Figure 6-17 shows the networking diagram.
Four OptiX OSN 2500 systems are used as NE 1, NE 2, NE 3 and NE 4 at the four places
respectively. NE 1 at place A is the central node, which receives the ATM service from the ATM
switch and then multicasts the ATM service to NE 2, NE 3 and NE 4.
NE 2, NE 3 and NE 4 receive the multicast ATM service transmitted from the ATM switch.

For NE 1, configure one ADQ1, which is used to access the 155 Mbit/s ATM service from the
ATM switch.
For each of NE 2, NE 3 and NE 4, configure one ADQ1 board, which is used to receive the

required to create one root connection and two unidirectional leaf connections at NE 1. The ATM service
in the root connection cannot be duplicated for the leaf connections.
The VC connection is used. The numbers in the brackets are values of the VPI and VCI. For example, (1,

6.8.5 Planning Statistically Multiplexed ATM Services

The method of planning the statistically multiplexed ATM services is defined.
Service Requirement
In one city, a communication line is to be created and should cover places A, B, C and D. The
services from the DSLAM nodes at places B, C and D should be transmitted to the ATM switch
at place A. The ATM switch provides one 155 Mbit/s optical interface to access the ATM service
from each node. Table 6-25 lists the service requirements.

The total bandwidth for the ATM services converged to NE 1 is 120 Mbit/s (3 x 10 Mbit/s + 2
x 20 Mbit/s + 30 Mbit/s + 20 Mbit/s). The ATM services can share a VC-4 bandwidth.
The OptiX OSN 2500 can be used to transmit and converge the data services. The ATM services
can be statistically multiplexed in a point-to-point manner and share a bandwidth on the ring.
The OptiX OSN 2500 is used as a multi-service transmission platform (MSTP) to transmit and
converge ATM services.

1 and then transmitted to the ATM switch at the upper layer.
The two-fiber bidirectional MSP ring protection can be used to protect the ATM services with
the switching time being less than 50 ms.
For NE 1, configure one ADQ1 board, which is used to converge the ATM services from each
node and transmit the ATM services to the ATM switch at the upper layer through a 155 Mbit/
s port.
For each of the NEs, NE 2, NE 3 and NE 4, configure one ADQ1 board, which is used to receive
the ATM services from the DSLAM nodes.
For NE 4, configure one ADQ1 board and one PL3 board, which are jointly used to access the
34 Mbit/s ATM services. The ATM services can then share the bandwidth on the ring.

Four OptiX OSN 2500 systems are used at the four places and are named NE 1, NE 2, NE 3 and
NE 4 respectively. At NE 2, NE 3 and NE 4, the 2 Mbit/s ATM services are accessed from the
BSSs. The ATM services are converged on the IMA board and then transmitted in the SDH
network in the same VC-4. At NE 1, the VC-4 is cross-connected to the ATM board, which
transmits the ATM services to the RNC through the ATM optical interface.

The IMA group + statistical multiplexing scheme is used for the IMA services.
At NE 2, perform the following operations in sequence:
l Set one IMA group on the IMA board to access 32 x 2 Mbit/s IMA services.
l Cross-connect the IMA group to a VC-4 internal port of the IMA board.
l Set the traffic volume of the internal port to 40 Mbit/s. The bandwidth is then aggregated.
l Cross-connect the internal port to one VC-4 at the SDH layer to transmit the IMA services.
l Set the traffic volume of the interval port to 20 Mbit/s. The bandwidth is then aggregated.
l Converge 20 VC-12s of NE 2 to the same internal port.


l Set the traffic volume of the interval port to 40 Mbit/s. The bandwidth is then aggregated.
l Converge 30 VC-12s of NE 2 and NE 3 to the same internal port.

6.11 Planning WDM Services

The OptiX OSN 2500 supports multiple types of WDM services. When planning the WDM
services for different WDM boards, follow different principles.
6.11.1 Capability of Supporting WDM Services
The OptiX OSN 2500 supports multiple types of WDM services.
Different principles should be followed for different boards to plan the WDM services.
6.11.1 Capability of Supporting WDM Services

The OptiX OSN 2500 supports multiple types of WDM services.
l Any adjacent wavelengths that comply with ITU-T G.694.1 can be added or dropped. The
working wavelength ranges from 1535.82 to 1560.61 nm and the spacing wavelength is
100 GHz.
l The client-side wavelengths can be converted from or to the standard wavelengths that
comply with ITU-T G.692. The signals are transparently transmitted.
For the OptiX OSN 2500, the boards that support the WDM services are as follows:
l N1MR2A, N1MR2C, TN11MR2, TN11MR4, TN11CMR2 and TN11CMR4, which are
optical add/drop multiplex boards
l N1LWX, which is an arbitrary bit rate wavelength conversion board
The optical add/drop multiplex boards have the following features:

l Any adjacent standard wavelengths can be added or dropped. The optical signals are
transparently transmitted and the wavelength ranges from 1535.82 nm to 1560.61 nm.
l Each optical add/drop multiplex board can be used as an OTM or OADM node.
l Two MR2A boards can be cascaded to add or drop four wavelengths as an OTM node.
l Used with the LWX, each optical add/drop multiplex board can be used as an OADM node.
l The central wavelength complies with ITU-T Recommendations and the channel spacing
is 100 GHz.
The N1LWX, an arbitrary bit rate wavelength conversion board, has the following features:

l The client-side wavelengths can be converted from or to the standard wavelengths that
comply with ITU-T G.692 (DWDM). The signals are transparently transmitted.
l The regeneration, retiming and reshaping (3R) functions are provided the client-side signals
within the range from 10 Mbit/s to 2.7 Gbit/s. For the signals, the clock is recovered and
the service rate is monitored.
l The central wavelength complies with ITU-T Recommendations and the channel spacing
is 100 GHz.
l Two types of LWX boards are provided. One type is dual-fed and selective receiving and
the other is single-fed and single receiving. A dual fed and selective receiving N1LWX
board supports intra-board protection, and one board of this type can realize optical channel
protection. The single fed and single receiving LWX boards support inter-board protection,
that is, 1+1 inter-board hot backup protection.

Different principles should be followed for different boards to plan the WDM services.
N1MR2A, N1MR2C, TN11MR2, TN11MR4, TN11CMR2 and TN11CMR4

When using the N1MR2A, N1MR2C, TN11MR2, TN11MR4, TN11CMR2 and TN11CMR4,
adhere to the following planning principles:
l When two wavelengths are multiplexed, the maximum transmission distance is 100 km if
no optical booster amplifier board is used.
l When four wavelengths are multiplexed, the maximum transmission distance is 65 km if
no optical booster amplifier board is used.
l To increase the transmission distance, use optical booster amplifier boards at both the
receive end and the transmit end.
l When four wavelengths are multiplexed, the wavelengths are 1552.52 nm, 1551.72 nm,
1550.92 nm and 1550.12 nm. For the MR2, two adjacent wavelengths must be used.
l Control the input optical power for the MR2A and MR2C. When several wavelengths are
multiplexed, the input optical power should range from –2.7 dBm to –3.3 dBm. When a
single wavelength is multiplexed, the input optical power should range from –2.3 dBm to
–2.9 dBm. Use attenuators to increase or decrease the input or output optical power.
l The MR2A and MR2C share the same features. The width of the front panel of the two
boards is different and so the two boards are housed in different slots. For details on valid
slots for boards, see 10 Planning Hardware
LWX
When using the LWX board, adhere to the following principles:
l Choose the dual-fed and selective receiving or single-fed and single receiving type as
required.
l The LWX supports the 1+1 board-level protection. Configure the protection if necessary.

Planning Guidelines 8 Planning Clocks
8 Planning Clocks
About This Chapter
The OptiX OSN 2500 supports multiple clock modes, and provides the clock protection
switching in multiple ways. When planning the clocks, follow the basic principles and choose
different clock configuration for different network types.
When planning the clocks in the network, follow the basic principles.
8.2 Capabilities of Supporting Clocks
The clocks supported by the equipment and the clock protection are defined.
8.3 Planning Examples
Examples are given to show how to configure clocks in the chain, tangent ring, and intersecting
ring networks.

8 Planning Clocks Planning Guidelines

When planning the clocks in the network, follow the basic principles.
l At the backbone and convergence layers, use the clock protection and configure the active
and standby reference clock sources to perform the clock switching. At the access layer, in
normal situations, configure one reference clock source at the central station. Clocks at
other stations follow the clock at the central station.
l Central nodes or nodes with high reliability can provide clock sources.
l When the building integrated timing supply system (BITS) or other external clock
equipment with high precision is provided, the NE should use the external timing mode.
When no BITS or other external clock equipment with high precision is provided, the NE
should use the line timing mode. The internal timing mode should be used as the lowest
clock tracing level.
l Properly plan the clock synchronization network to avoid interlocked clocks and clock
loops.
l The shortest route requirements for the line clock tracing are as follows:
– In the case of the ring network composed of less than six NEs, the reference clock source
is traced in one direction.
– In the case of the ring network composed of six or more than six NEs, the line clock
tracing should follow the shortest route. Thus, in the case of the network composed of
N NEs, N/2 NEs trace the reference clock source in one direction and the other N/2 NEs
trace the reference clock source in another direction.
l When multiple clocks form a long chain, clock compensation is required. In this case, the
number of the G.812 secondary clocks on the transmission link should not exceed 10. The
number of the G.813 clocks between two G.812 secondary clocks should not exceed 20.
The number of G.813 clocks between the G.811 clock and the G.812 clock should not
exceed 20. The number of G.813 clocks should not exceed 60.
l When the synchronization status message (SSM) is not enabled, do not configure the clocks
into a loop on the local NE.
l The attenuation of the received SSM should be within a specific range. If the attenuation
is out of the range, the SSM cannot be received.
l Use the clock extracted from STM-N signals as the inter-office clock. Do not use the
tributary signal timing.
8.2 Capabilities of Supporting Clocks

The clocks supported by the equipment and the clock protection are defined.
Basic Functions
OptiX OSN 2500 have the following functions:
l Tracing of the external clock source, line clock source, tributary clock source and internal
clock source.
l Non-SSM, standard SSM and extended SSM.

Planning Guidelines 8 Planning Clocks
l Clock working modes compliant with ITU-T G.781, such as locked, hold-over, and free
run.
l Output of the line clock, tributary clock and external clock.
l Tributray re-timing.
l ASON clock tracing scheme.
Clock Protection
OptiX OSN 2500 can realize the clock protection switching in the following ways:
l Do not enable the SSM, and then perform the clock source selection and switching
according to the priority list. In this case, do not configure two clocks in two directions on
one NE into the priority list. Otherwise, the clocks form a loop.
l Enable the standard SSM mode, and then configure the priority list to ensure that the OptiX
OSN 2500 can automatically select the clock source with the highest priority to avoid the
locked loop.
l Enable the extended SSM mode. Use the fifth to eighth bits of the S1 byte to define the
quality of the clock source, and use the first to fourth bits of the S1 byte to define the clock
source ID. Thus, the clock loop can be avoided. The principles for setting the clock IDs are
as follows:
– All external BITSs should be assigned with clock IDs.
– In the case of nodes with external BITSs, the internal clocks of these nodes should be
assigned with clock IDs.
– In the case of nodes that access the chain or ring network to another ring network, the
clock sources of these nodes should be assigned with clock IDs.
– In the case of nodes that access the chain or ring network to another ring network, when
the clock tracing level includes the line clock source, the line clock sources accessed to
another ring network should be assigned with clock IDs.
8.3 Planning Examples

Examples are given to show how to configure clocks in the chain, tangent ring, and intersecting
ring networks.
Configure Clocks in the Chain Network

When the SSM is enabled, clocks are not interlocked in the chain network. When there are more
than 20 nodes, add the BITS clocks for compensation. See Figure 8-1.

9 Planning Orderwire and Auxiliary Interfaces Planning Guidelines
9.1 Planning Orderwire Phone Interfaces

The capabilities of supporting orderwire phone interfaces are defined, and the process of
planning the orderwire phone interface is defined according to the planning principles.
9.1.1 Capability of Supporting Orderwire Phone Interfaces
The capability of supporting orderwire phone interfaces is defined.
The principles for planning the orderwire phone interfaces are defined.
9.1.3 Planning Example
An example is given to show how to plan the orderwire phone interfaces.
9.1.1 Capability of Supporting Orderwire Phone Interfaces

The capability of supporting orderwire phone interfaces is defined.
The Q1SEI board of the OptiX OSN 2500 provides one orderwire phone interface, two NNI
voice interfaces and two NNI signaling interfaces. The five interfaces are all of the RJ-45 type.

The principles for planning the orderwire phone interfaces are defined.
Adhere to the following principles when planning orderwire phone interfaces:
l Make sure that the orderwire signaling is compatible in the entire network.
l Make sure the orderwire phone number of each node is of the same length. It is
recommended that the orderwire phone number be set as four characters.
l Set the orderwire phone number in the format: subnet number (one character) + user number
(three characters).
l Make sure that the conference phone numbers in the entire network are the same and the
number should be larger than the orderwire phone number. It is recommended that the
conference phone number be set to 9999.
l Make sure that all orderwire phone numbers in the entire network, except the conference
phone number, are unique.
l Make sure that the dial-up scheme of the orderwire phone of each node is dual-tone multi-
frequency.
l Make sure the call waiting time of each node is the same. If less than 30 nodes are present
in the network, set the call waiting time to 5s. If more than 30 nodes are present in the
network, set the call waiting time to 9s.
l The orderwire phone number should increase as the node ID increases.
l Consider the possibility of howl in the orderwire loop. Release the loop to solve the problem
of howl in the conference phone. The loop is automatically released, if an OptiX OSN 2500
system is networked with other OptiX OSN 2500 systems, or with the OptiX OSN 7500,
OptiX OSN 3500, OptiX OSN 3500T, OptiX OSN 2500REG and the OptiX OSN 1500. If
the OptiX OSN 2500 is networked with other equipment, manually release the loop.
l If no optical path is available between two nodes, which, however, require orderwire
communication, use the orderwire NNI connection for the orderwire communication. Use

Voice 1 or Voice 2 as the voice interface, and Serial 3 or Serial 4 as the data interface for
the orderwire NNI connection.

An example is given to show how to plan the orderwire phone interfaces.
Figure 9-1 shows how to plan the orderwire phone interfaces.
Set the orderwire phone number as four characters, with the last two characters being the same
as the node ID. The conference phone number has four characters and is 9999.

9.2 Planning Broadcast Data Interfaces S1–S4

The broadcast data interfaces are S1–S4.
9.2.1 Capability of Supporting Broadcast Data Interfaces
The capability of supporting broadcast data interfaces is defined.
The principles for planning the broadcast data interfaces are defined.
An example is given to show how to plan the data broadcast interface.
9.2.1 Capability of Supporting Broadcast Data Interfaces

The capability of supporting broadcast data interfaces is defined.
The broadcast data interfaces can be used for universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter
(UART) full-duplex communication.

The Q1SEI board of the OptiX OSN 2500 provides four broadcast data interfaces S1–S4, which
are of the RJ-45 type.
The S1–S4 interfaces must provide two level interfaces, RS-232 and RS-422. The RS-232
interface complies with the ITU-T V.24/V.28 Recommendations for interfaces. The RS-422
interface complies with the ITU-T V.11 Recommendations for interfaces.
The data is transparently transmitted by the broadcast data interface. No interface rate and
transmission control protocol needs to be specified. The interface rate is no more than 19.2 kbit/
s.
The broadcast data interfaces S1–S4 can be connected to the data terminal equipment. The data
of the data terminal equipment can then be transmitted in the SDH network in a point-to-point
or point-to-multipoint manner. In this way, data can be broadcast to several optical interfaces.

The principles for planning the broadcast data interfaces are defined.
Adhere to the following principles when planning broadcast data interfaces:
l The configured broadcast data interfaces should not form a loop.

l Do not configure the unused optical interfaces into the broadcast domain for the broadcast
interface.
l Do not configure the NE where the broadcast interface is not used, into the broadcast
domain.
l Make sure the data flows in the same direction as the clock tracing.
If the equipment at the opposite end uses the RS-232 interface to connect to the broadcast data
interface of the OptiX OSN 2500, this equipment should meet the following requirements:
l The interface is of the RS-232 level.

l The maximum rate should not exceed 19.2 kbit/s.
l The interface should be of the RS-232 high level (–9 V).
l Use the software to ensure that only one slave node can transmit data to the master node at
any time.
l The cables should not be longer than 15 m.
If the equipment at the opposite end uses the RS-422 interface to connect to the broadcast data
interface of the OptiX OSN 2500, this equipment should meet the following requirements:
l The interface is of the RS-422 level.

l The maximum rate should not exceed 19.2 kbit/s.
l Use the software to ensure that only one slave node can transmit data to the master node at
any time.
l The cables should not be longer than 1 km.

An example is given to show how to plan the data broadcast interface.

Service Requirement
As shown in Figure 9-2, NE 2, NE 3 and NE 4 are equipped with environment monitors, and
NE 1 is equipped with a monitoring computer (master node). The monitoring computer needs
to communicate with the environment monitor (slave node) of NE 2–NE 4 through the OptiX
OSN 2500. The monitoring computer broadcasts commands to the environment monitors of NE
2–NE 4. The environment monitors of NE 2–NE 4 report the collected data to the monitoring
computer.
Application Scheme
Figure 9-2 shows an application scheme.

NE 1–NE 4 all use the broadcast data interface S1 to connect to the monitoring computer or
environment monitor, and use optical interface boards to transmit data to the SDH network.
NE 1 connects the monitoring computer through the S1 interface. NE 1 then transmits the data
that is received by the S1 interface to the west and east NEs. In the converse direction, the west
and east NEs transmit data to NE 1, which then transmits the data through the S1 interface. In
this way, at any time, only one environment monitor can transmit data.
9.3 Planning External Alarm Interfaces

The planning of the external alarm interfaces is defined.
9.3.1 Capability of Supporting External Alarm Interfaces
The capability of supporting external alarm interfaces is defined.
The principles for planning the external alarm interfaces are defined.

9.3.1 Capability of Supporting External Alarm Interfaces

The capability of supporting external alarm interfaces is defined.
The SEI board of the OptiX OSN 2500 supports the following external alarm interfaces:
l Eight alarm input interfaces, which are used to access the alarm signals from external
equipment.
l Four alarm output interfaces, which are used to output the alarm signals of the local NE.
l Four alarm concatenation interfaces, which are used to concatenate the alarm signals of
several NEs.
Use RJ-45 connectors for the external alarm interfaces.

The principles for planning the external alarm interfaces are defined.
The external alarm input interfaces are used for monitoring the environment of the equipment
room. The alarm signals are transmitted to the T2000 or a central alarm monitoring equipment
through these interfaces.
Generally, the external alarm output interfaces are used to transmit the alarm signals of NEs to
the central alarm monitor equipment.
On the T2000, you can set the alarm trigger mode for each alarm to Enabled or Disabled. In
either mode, alarms are reported.

a: On the T2000, the SEP is displayed as the SEP or SEP1. When interfaces are available on
the front panel of the SEP, the SEP is displayed as the SEP1 on the T2000. When the SEP is
used with the interface board, the SEP is displayed as the SEP on the T2000.
b: The EMS4 is used with the N1ETF8 and N1EFF8.
c: The CXL is an integrated board of the cross-connect, timing, SCC and line units for the
OptiX OSN 2500. As one physical board in the subrack, the CXL is housed in any of slots 9
and 10. On the T2000. the CXL is displayed as the CXL, SCC, and SL1/4/16, which are
housed in any of slots 80–81, 82–83, and 9–10 respectively.
d: The corresponding slots are logical slots rather than physical slots.

The basic principles for planning the slots and the slots supported by the equipment are defined.
Adhere to the following principles when planning slots for different boards of the OptiX OSN
2500:
l The integrated board should be inserted in slot 9.

l The SAP board should be inserted in slot 14.
l If an MSP ring is configured, the two boards that are involved in the same ring should be
housed in paired slots.
l For configuration of the MSP or SNCP, if the working board is a line board that supports
the TCM service or AU-3 service, the protection board should also be a line board that
supports the TCM service or AU-3 service. Otherwise, services are interrupted in the case
of protection switching.
NOTE
When the TCM and AU-3 functions are enabled on the working board, the TCM and AU-3 functions
on the protection board are not required.
l When the E1/T1 boards are configured with the TPS protection, slot 5 is for the protection
board. For future expansion, reserve the slot and configure boards to the other slots.
l When the E3/T3/E4/STM-1 boards are configured with the TPS protection, slots 6 and 13
are for the protection boards. For future expansion, reserve the two slots and configure
boards to the other slots.
l Do not use different optical interfaces on the same board to form a network.
Follow the sequence listed in Table 10-5 to plan slots for boards.
