2 Introduction, Application
Synchronous line equipment SL64 is part of the TransXpress product family. It is suit-
able for transmission of SDH signals, SONET signals, and plesiochronous signals.
On the line side signals with a bit rate of 10 Gbit/s will be transmitted. The transmission
medium employed is single-mode optical fiber in the wavelength range around 1550 nm.
The optical line signal is an STM-64 signal of the synchronous digital hierarchy. The ba-
sic characteristics of the synchronous digital hierarchy are defined in ITU-T Recommen-
dation G.707 (03/96).
On the tributary side (feeder side), depending on equipping, there are interfaces avail-
able for:
– electrical PDH-E4 signals and/or electrical STM-1 signals,
– optical STM-16, STM-4 and STM-1 signals,
– optical OC-48, OC-12, and OC-3 SONET signals
– full duplex transparent Gigabit-Ethernet over VC-4 or VC-4-4v (1000Base)
– full duplex transparent Fast-Ethernet over VC-4 (100Base)
For use with WDM units from Siemens special optical modules are available. With these
the appropriate optical wavelength in accordance with ITU-T Recommendation G.692 is
selected.
2.1 Network Applications

By virtue of its modular design, Multiplexer SL64 can be equipped and configured in the
optimum way for all applications.
SL64 is suitable for all connections which impose the very highest demands on trans-
mission capacity. The range of applications extends from simple end-to-end connec-
tions through classical line networks for national or international connections –
expandable with wavelength division multiplex systems – up to complex meshed net-
works or ring networks with a variety of protection switching functions and operation as
a local cross connect.
Chapters 2.1.1 through 2.1.4 show a number of typical applications.
2.1.1 Terminal-to-Terminal Topologies

Terminal-to-terminal links as shown in Fig. 2.1, are supported by SL64 network ele-

3 System Overview
Its great flexibility in a great variety of interface modules for the very widest coverage
make the SL64 ideal for use in all capacity-intensive applications in every area of a com-
munication network, from classical, meshed backbone networks, through highly-effi-
cient ring structures (in Metropolitan networks for example) to corporate networks.
For optical networks too Multiplexer SL64 is an optimum feeder, interoperating with the
DWDM units from Siemens to establish a future-proof infrastructure offering flexible
growth to accommodate the very highest capacity demand. This allows transmission ca-
pacities of up to 2 x 3.2 Tbit/s on a single fiber optic pair.
Depending on the application, SL64 offers complete configuration flexibility for use as
an add/drop multiplexer, a terminal multiplexer or a local cross-connect. Because of the
extremely compact design (2 SL64 NEs in one ETSI rack), all these applications can be
catered for using a single subrack (see 6.3). Reconfiguration during operation is possi-
ble. Likewise the tributary interfaces – available for electrical 140-Mbit/s and STM-1 sig-
nals as well as optical STM-16, STM-4 and STM-1 signals – can be mixed at any time
and replaced at any time.
Protection against device or line failures is of great importance, in particular for networks
with the highest capacities.
SL64 supports ”state-of-the-art” protection switching mechanisms to enable an optimum
network with the very highest reliability to be realized – depending on the relevant net-
work topology and the requirements of the network operator (see 5.2).
Fig. 3.1 shows an overview of the hardware and software components which can be
used.

3.2 Operating Terminals LCT and NCT

Network elements can be both operated and monitored via an operating terminal
(TransXpress Local Craft Terminal LCT – or TransXpress Network Craft Terminal NCT)
and a network management system (see figures 3.2 and 3.3).
The Local Craft Terminal LCT is the preferred option for mobile operation and the oper-
ating terminal NCT for stationary operation. In principle, the same hardware can be used
for both computers, but because of the different applications, we recommend a note-
book for the LCT and a desktop PC for the NCT.
Two software variants matching the hardware types are available – LCT software and
NCT software.
38 A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618
SL64-3.3
The decision between LCT and NCT is made by installing the corresponding variant of
that gateway software NE-UniGATE (see corresponding documentation).
The LCT software variant allows access to the local network element when it is connect-
ed via the QST/F interface. When connecting via the QST/B3 interface up to 50 network
elements of a given address range can be called up at the same time (without the pos-
sibility of a graphical network view).
The NCT software variant (connecting via the QST/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 allows the network elements to be positioned according to their geographical po-
sition.

3.3 Connection to Network Management Systems

The telecommunications management network integration of SL64 network elements is
realized via QST/B3 (direct access) and QST/ECC (via dedicated OH channels within
traffic links – DCCM and DCCR). ECC routing is also possible via non-SL64 network el-
ements (see Fig. 3.3).
The NE is equipped with a QST interface, which enables a managing system (EM, NCT,
LCT) to control and to monitor the NE and to receive spontaneous messages created
by the NE.

4 Network Elements, Configuration Types

The configuration types (SL64 network elements) described in Chapters 4.1 and 4.2 can
be realized with the universally-equippable subrack for SL64 (see 6.3). The MIB mod-
ules and the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E module of the device hold information on the NE type.
This data can be read out with the aid of a craft terminal or a network management sys-
tem.
4.1 Terminal Multiplexer

The SL64 terminal multiplexer provides multiplex-functionality for the tributary traffic to
the aggregate line signal in chain applications (Fig. 4.1).

Fig. 4.1 SL64 Terminal Multiplexer
The SL64 terminal multiplexer is equipped with a switching network and thus provides
cross-connectivity between the line and tributary interfaces at VC-4 level. On the tribu-
tary side, a maximum capacity of 128 VC-4 equivalents may be mapped arbitrarily to the
working line interfaces.
The Fast/Gigabit Ethernet modules works at MAC sublayer level, i.e. they are fully trans-
parent for different upper protocols like LLC and IP, IPX etc. running on the connected
IP equipment. ETH100/ETH1000 devices acts as remote bridge effectively converting
the MAC protocol to SDH using LAPS encapsulation and mapping, allowing two ETH
devices to be connected together via SDH networks, capable of achieving far greater
distances than those possible with conventional 802.3 LAN technology. The electrical
ETH100 acts via the ETH-LTU module; the ETH1000 has an optical interface.

4.3 Local Cross-Connect Multiplexer

The SL64 local cross-connect (LXC) multiplexer (Fig. 4.3) can be used as small net-
work nodes with tributary-tributary connections or, for example, for interconnecting sev-
eral SDH rings.

without SNCP.

4.4 Functional Overview of Multiplexers

Fig. 4.4 shows the basic functional structure (shown without line protection switching)
of SL64 with the cross-connect-matrix for the VC-4 connection possibility between the
line and tributary interfaces in a typical equipment.
In addition to the modules for the transmission of payload signals (line and tributary
modules, switching network module SNL64-3), the clock pulse supply module Clock
Unit Line module CLL64 / CLL64-2, in which the clock pulse module is housed, the cen-
tral control and monitoring module SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E and the overhead access mod-
ule 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 SL64 device must be
equipped with Clock Unit Line CLL64-2 instead of CLL64.
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 OIS64 / OIS64-2 in the STM-64 transmission route.
The optical receiver of the bi-directional, optical interface module OIS64 / OIS64-2 con-
verts the incoming STM-64 signal to an electrical signal by using a photodiode.
If required, optical preamplifiers OP and optical boosters OB can be used.
The electrical STM-64 signal is regenerated and converted to an internal ISDH signal on
the VC-4 plane (64 x STM-1). The VC-4 signals are relayed to the switching unit module
SNL64-3 of the systems which forms the central element for the interconnection of the
line and tributary signals in the VC-4 plane. The SNL64-3 allows connections between
line and line, line and tributary and between two tributaries.
In the OIS64 / OIS64-2 module, the Section Overhead (SOH) is decoupled and written
to the internal OH bus of the system to allow an OH access of the relevant modules in
this way. DCC communicates via a separate internal bus system, the DCC bus.
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, one optical STM-16 interface, four optical STM-1 interfaces, one
optical STM-4 interface, one ETH100 interface, or one ETH1000 interafce:
– 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.
– ETH100, The Fast Ethernet Interface provides a full duplex transparent two-port
MAC level bridge. It connects together two physical seperated 802.3 LANs (e.g.
campus) point-to-point via SDH network (WAN) at MAC sublayer level (remote
bridge) with VC-4 capacity.
– ETH1000, the Gigabit Ethernet Interface provides a full duplex transparent two-port
MAC level bridge. It connects together two physical seperated 802.3 LANs (e.g.
campus) point-to-point via SDH network (WAN) at MAC sublayer level (remote
bridge) with either VC-4 or VC-4-4v capacity.
– OIS16 / OIS16-2, STM-16 optical / OC48: Each module has one optical interface.
– OIS4 / OIS4-2, STM-4 optical / OC12: Each module has one optical interface.
– OIS1, STM-1 optical / OC3: Each module has four optical interfaces.
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-16 tributary
signals are initially demultiplexed from the STM-16 level to the STM-1 level, optical
A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618 43
SL64-3.3
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 SNL64-3, from where they are passed
on to a line interface module OIS64 / OIS64-2 or to a further tributary module.
In the send direction the VC-4 signals selected by the SNL64-3 are scrambled after in-
clusion of the section overhead. Where the STM-4/16/64 is involved, the signals are
converted at the STM-4/16/64 level. In the optical modules this is followed by electri-
cal/optical conversion; for the electrical tributary modules CMI scrambling is performed.
For the line and tributary interface modules, the system can be configured in such a way
that the different ring and line protection switchings are supported. This takes place by
allocating two interfaces which are housed on various modules and therefore function
as working and protection interface. To increase the availability of equipment, some
modules (OIS64, OIS64-2, OIS16, OIS16-2, OIS4, OIS4-2, OIS1, SNL64-3, and CLL64
/ CLL64-2) can also have card protection facilities (see also Chapter 5.2).
SL64 provides concatenationconversion of contiguous concatenated VC-4-4c’s and
VC-4-16c’s in virtual concatenated VC-4-4v’s and VC-4-16v’s and vice versa acc. G.707
(10/00) via OIS4-2 / OIS16-2 modules.
Concatenated VC-4’s can be used for “high Bandwidth Streams” (> VC-4) established
by IP Core Routers, ATM Core Switches etc. Because of the better performance (data
throughput), Clear Channel interfaces (contiguous concatenated signals) are generally
preferred by IP and ATM vendors. With Concatenation Conversion supported by SL64
also Clear Channels resp. contiguous concatenated signals can be transported via es-
tablished Multi-Carrier topologies even if they don’t support contiguous concatenation.
– Contiguous Concatenation: Concatenated VC-4’s are treated as one single VC-4-Xc
(X = 4 ,16) with one common pointer and one POH.
– Virtual Concatenation: Concatenated VC-4’s are treated as N individual VC-4’s (like
non-concatenated signals), each VC-4 having a valid POH. The POH byte H4 of ev-
ery virtually concatenated VC-4 provides concatenation information: sequence
number and multiframe number.
For fault supervision on conversion from virtual to contiguous concatenation, the alarms
LOM (loss of multiframe), SQM (Sequence mismatch) and LOA (loss of alignment) are
supported.
There are two models available for the configuration of concatenation:
– Configuration via simple switch:
For each OIS4-2 and OIS16-2 module contained in the required equipping, the op-
erator can easily enable / disable the concatenation conversion functionality via a
simple switch (software “Simple Model”).
– Configuration via C-GTPs / V-GTPs:
The operator can create contiguous (OIS4-2 / OIS16-2) or virtual (OIS4-2 / OIS16-2
/ OIS64-2) Group TPs (C-GTPs / V-GTPs) which represents data relevant to the con-
verter functionality (in case of C-GTPs) and data which has to be handled commonly
for all CTPs concatenated by the C-GTP or V-GTP (bundles of 16 VC-4’s or 4
VC-4’s).

4.5.2 Power Supply of the Modules

Each module has its own voltage converter supplying it with the required voltage. The
voltage converter is fed from two independent batteries. To suppress noise voltages and
interferences, each module is equipped with a filter. To protect the other modules
against noise pulses when a module is inserted and extracted, each module is provided
with a slow start device.

4.5.3 Modules for Main Signal Transmission
4.5.3.1 Optical Interface Synchronous STM-64 Modules

(OIS64 / OIS64-2)
The OIS64 / OIS64-2 modules have been designed according to the requirements of
ITU-T Recommendations G.691/G.692 (draft).
Short functional overview:
– STM-64 multiplexing and demultiplexing of the VC-4 signal (payload signal and over-
head) in conformity with ITU-T G.70x and ETSI DETM1015.
– Conversion of the optical signal with 1550-nm interfaces according to ITU-T Recom-
mendations G.691/G.692 (draft) with laser safety shutdown.
– Signal protection switching for multiplex section, card protection switching.
– Preparing the T1 clock pulse signal for the MTS (Multiplexer Timing Source).
– Monitoring and controlling the complete module by integrated PCU.
– Converting the input voltage from nominal 48 V/60 V to the voltages needed by the
module by means of Power Supply Unit PSU.
– Software download
– Management of configuration settings, fault analysis and recording the performance
and quality data of the transmission signal.
– Support of virtual concatenated signals VC-4-4v and VC-4-16v via group TPs.
– OIS64-2 only:
• Encoding and decoding of in-band Forward Error Correction (FEC).
• SONET interworking, (see Tab. 3.1).
– The OIS64-2 module is also able to run with the software of any former SL64 version
(without support of the OIS64-2 specific features listed above).
Fig. 4.5 shows the basic operating mode of the OIS64 module in a block diagram.
Functionally the OIS64 module subdivides into the optical front-end and SDH process-
ing parts.
The optical front-end includes the optical/electrical conversion (photodiode), optical re-
ceiver, data and clock recovery, bit-demultiplexing, framing, parity evaluation, bit multi-
plexing, laser driver and control and electrical/optical conversion (laser). The Byte
Demultiplexer or Byte Multiplexer provides the necessary speed matching from/to the
CMOS level. Each MX/DMX is able to operate half the STM-64 line signal.
SDH processing takes place in 16 ASICs of type S6MD64FEC and comprises most of
the SDH functions like HPOM, HSUM, MSA, MSP, RST, MST (with exception of the SPI
block) and FEC. Each ASIC operates 4 STM-1 equivalents in receive and transmit di-
rection.

Functionally the OIS16 / OIS16-2 modules subdivide into the optical front-end and SDH
processing parts.
The optical front-end includes the optical/electrical conversion (photodiode), optical re-
ceiver, data and clock recovery, laser driver and control and electrical/optical conversion
(laser). The SP/PS converter provides the necessary speed matching from/to the CMOS
level.
SDH processing takes place in 4 ASICs of type S6MD and comprises most of the SDH
functions (with exception of the SPI block). Each ASIC operates 4 STM-1 equivalents in
receive and transmit direction.

4.5.3.3 Forward Error Correction FEC

FEC is a function of the optical STM-64 or STM-16 interfaces (only OIS64-2 and
OIS16-2 modules) to considerably reduce the bit error rate, by correcting bit errors
which may arise during the optical-electrical conversion at the receive side of the trans-
mission line. This improvement can also be utilized to reduce the necessary optical pow-
er of the transmitter.
The inband FEC applied utilizes the otherwise unused space within the SOH to transmit
FEC parity bytes to the receive side. Thus the signal bit rate remains unchanged.
As FEC is a Siemens proprietary procedure, it is not useful in combination with NEs of
other manufacturers.
The FEC hardware functions are implemented in the ASICs S6MD-2 and S6MD64FEC.
Transmit Side
Fig. 4.7 shows the principle transmit-side functions.
The STM-64 and STM-16 signals can be seen as byte interleaved STM-4 part signals.
The arithmetic-logic unit calculates the FEC parity bytes from the four STM-1 signals #1
50 A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618
SL64-3.3
to #4 (including AU-4 pointers and MSOH). For this calculation all RSOH bytes are set
to “0” (the RSOH bytes sent remain unchanged).
These FEC parity bytes are inserted into the SOH of the STM-1 signals #2 to #4 of the
STM-4 part signal. Both SOH areas, RSOH and MSOH, are used for the transmission
of the FEC parity bytes. The SOH of the STM-1 signal #1 is not used for transmission of
FEC parity bytes, so there are no restrictions in the use of that SOH.
If the Enable/disable software switch is open, the SOH of the STM-1 signals remain un-
changed.

4.5.3.4 Optical Interface Synchronous STM-4 Module (OIS4 / OIS4-2)

The OIS4 / OIS4-2 modules are designed to meet the requirements of ITU-T Recom-
mendation G.957.
Functional overview:
– STM-4 multiplexing and demultiplexing of the VC-4 signals (payload signal and over-
head) in compliance with ITU-T G.70x and ETSI DETM1015.

– OIS4-2 only:
• Conversion from contiguous concatenated signals (VC4-4c) to virtual concatenat-
ed signals (VC-4-4v) and vice versa.
• SONET interworking, (see Tab. 3.1).

an overview plan to show the basic mode of operation.
From the functional standpoint the OIS4 / OIS4-2 module is divided into the optical pre-
processing and SDH processing parts.
The optical front-end consists of optical/electrical conversion (avalanche photodiode),
optical receiver, data and clock recovery, laser driver and control as well as electri-
cal/optical conversion (laser). Series/parallel or parallel/series converters establish the
required speed matching from/to the CMOS level.
SDH processing is undertaken in the ASIC S6MD. Here, the STM-4 signal is decoded
and converted in the demultiplexer to the VC-4 level (4 x STM-1). The overhead is then

extracted and passed on to the bus systems (OH-Bus/DCC), the VC-4 signals are trans-
ferred as ISDH to module SNL64-3.
In the send direction the VC-4 signals (ISDH) coming from SNL64-3 are received by the
ASIC S6MD / S6MD2, subsequently the section overhead from the OH bus is coupled

optical receiver, data and clock recovery, laser driver and control and electrical/optical
conversion (laser). The series/parallel or parallel/series converter provides the neces-
sary speed matching from/to the CMOS level.

to the VC-4 level. The overhead is decoupled and passed on to the bus system (OH-
Bus/DCC), the VC-4 signals are transmitted as ISDH to module SNL64-3.

ASIC S6MD, subsequently the section overhead from the OH bus is coupled in, the sig-
nals are converted in the multiplexer to the STM-1 level and transferred to the laser mod-
ule in the optical transmitter.
4.5.3.6 Optical Preamplifier (OP/OP64) Module

The Optical Preamplifier module performs the low-noise optical preamplification of the
light input signal in front of the optical receiver. The optical preamplification is transpar-
ent to the signal content and optical signal parameters other than added noise power.
The Optical Preamplifier works in the wavelength range between 1530 nm and 1560 nm
and requires high-return loss (HRL) connectors. To reduce preamplifier inherent noise
(amplified spontaneous emission) adaptive narrow-band optical filtering is implemented.
The OP and OP64 modules differ in their output power level. The OP64 is to be used
exclusively in conjunction with dispersion compensation modules.

plifier circuit contains the sensors needed to monitor the input and output signal and the

A closed-loop control circuit on the module allows the following functions:
– Stabilizing the laser output performance by amplification control,
– 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 system clock pulses 6.48 MHz, 2 kHz and 1Hz as well as a 15-min time signal are
relayed to the PCU via the T0 interface IMTS.
4.5.3.7 Optical Booster (OB) Module

The Optical Booster is an optical amplifier which transparently amplifies the light output
signal, i.e. without changing the signal contents and optical parameters. It works in the
wavelength range between 1530 nm and 1560 nm.

The transmission properties of the optical line are determined by the output performance
of the optical booster together with the properties of the optical transmission signal.
Therefore, using the OB requires the selection of optical interface modules suitable for
this purpose.
Optical amplification is achieved by an optical fiber amplifier (erbium-doped fiber ampli-
fier EDFA) which works with a pump light in the wavelength range of 980 nm. The am-

– Stabilizing the laser output performance by amplification control,
– Pump laser safety shutdown is case of hardware faults
– Monitoring functions within the ADC interface for the module-internal “peripheral
control unit PCU”.
The PCU (Peripheral Control Unit) switching unit has the capacity for module manage-
ment functions such as start procedures, disconnecting in the case of module faults and
maintenance alarms.
The system clock pulses 6.48 MHz, 2 kHz and 1Hz as well as a 15-min time signal are
relayed to the PCU via the T0 interface IMTS.
4.5.3.8 Switching Network for Line Systems (SNL64-3) Module

The VC-4 switching unit module Switching Network for Line Systems (SNL64-3) 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.
Unidirectional and bidirectional connections are also supported such as drop and con-
tinue traffic.
The integrated PCU takes over monitoring and control of the complete module.
Two SNL64-3 modules can be equipped for protection switching purposes. They are
connected with the optical interface modules on the West and East line sides, the tribu-
tary interface modules, the two CLL64 modules for the T0 system clock pulse and the
SCU-R2 for control. In the case of failure, the working SNL64-3 automatically changes
over to the protection SNL64-3.
Fig. 4.14 shows the basic operating mode of the SNL64-3 module using a block dia-
gram.

The SNL64-3 module contains three important groups with the following functions:
– The Switching Matrix interconnects the ISDHS signals for point-to-point and point-
to-multipoint connections. The non-blocking, full 256 x 256 cross-connectivity makes
the SL64-3.3 an adequate VC-4 cross-connect multiplexer.
– The Peripheral Control Unit PCU sends commands coming from the SCU-R2 /
SCU-R2E to the Switching Matrix and vice versa module alarms to the SCU-R2 /
SCU-R2E.
– The Power Supply Unit PSU converts the input voltage from nominal 48 V / 60 V to
the voltages needed on the module.
4.5.3.9 Electrical Interface Plesiochronous/Synchronous

140 Mbit/s/STM-1 (EIPS1) Module
The EIPS1 module is an interface module for electrical tributaries. An LTU64 (Line Ter-
mination Unit) interface module is allocated to each EIPS1 which contains the external
interface connections.
EIPS1 module protection switching can be configured in the SL64. This will also require
the modules EIPS Backup Switch Line (EBSL64) and interface module Power Supply
Unit Tributary Protection (PSUTP64).
Fig. 4.15 shows a possible protection switching configuration 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.
58 A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618
SL64-3.3
An EIPS1 module equipped in tributary slot #9 operates as an EIPS1 protection module

for 1:n protection switching (where n = 1...8). In the case of a fault, this EIPS1 takes over
transmission from a faulty EIPS1 working module in one of the slots #1 to #8.
The PCU of the EIPS1 protection module controls the switch settings of the interface
modules LTU64 and of module EBSL64. On lines X (see Fig. 4.15) the signals of four
tributary ports are transmitted between the LTUs and the EIPS1 modules in each case.
If there is a fault on an EIPS1 working module (#1 to #8) its signals will be diverted using
switch A of the LTU64 to line Y.

60 A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618
SL64-3.3
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. 4.16 shows the basic mode of operation of the EIPS1 module using a block dia-
gram.
The symmetrical signals supplied by the LTU64 module to the four independent tributary
ports of module EIPS1 are processed further in different ways depending on the soft-
ware configuration (STM-1 or 140 Mbit/s):
• STM-1
– Signal conversion between external STM-1 signals (LTU64) and internal ISDHS
(SNL64-3)
– 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 (LTU64) and
internal ISDHS (SNL64-3)
– Identifying fault conditions during signal conversion (Fault Management)
– Forming quality data (Performance Management)
– Processing defined OH bytes from the POH
The four ports are configured (Configuration Management) via the Peripheral Control
Unit PCU on EIPS1. Incoming alarm and quality data is evaluated and relayed by the
PCU. The PCU communicates with the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E and other modules via the
bus connections (PBUS/ICB).
The Power Supply Unit PSU converts the input voltage from nominal 48 V/60 V to the
voltages needed on the module.

4.5.3.10 Line Terminating Unit (LTU64) Interface Module

The LTU64 interface module is required for each EIPS1 module. It contains neither a
PCU nor a PSU. The voltage is supplied via the PSU of the appropriate EIPS1 module
(ULTUX) or via the PSUTP64 module (ULTUY) (if available).
Tasks of the LTU64:
– 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.
The block diagram (Fig. 4.17) shows the functional blocks on the LTU64 module.
Fig. 4.17 Block Diagram of Module LTU64
A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618 63
SL64-3.3
The incoming signals (port 1 to 4) from the trib-in connectors on the LTU64 are convert-
ed in block IN from 75 Ω unbalanced signals to internal balanced signals. Block IN fulfills
all electrical requirements for the tributary interface.
The ASIC S4PS1 contains the switches A and B for balanced signals for one port. The
state of the switch control input SCLA controls the position of the 8 switches A together
for 4 ports in receive and transmit direction.
The internal balanced signals are converted in block OUT to the outgoing 75 Ω unbal-
anced signals (port 1 to 4). This block as well fulfills all electrical requirements for the
tributary interface.
4.5.3.11 Fast Ethernet Interface Module (ETH100)

The ETH100 card is a plug-in module for the SL64 NE on tributary side. In order to pro-
vide the required transparent MAC-bridge functionality an ETHn counterpart at the re-
mote end of an SDH path is required.
It is possible to plug in up to 16 ETH100 cards into one SL64 NE.
The ETH100 is managed by the board controller PCUD which connects to the SCU-R2/
SCU-R2E System Controller via the Internal Communication Bus ICB.
The Ethernet interface allows direct interaction with the IP world.
The ETH100 design provides 4 LEDs for status indication. The LEDs H1-H4 are located
at the front panel and are dedicated to service technicians.
Tab. 4.3 lists the functional assignment of the LEDs. The LEDs H3-H4 are of smaller
size (SMD type) and for debugging purposes only. H3-H4 display the status of the inter-
nal link (ETH100 ↔ LTU-ETH).
The ETH100 does not contain the 100MB connector for EMI and ESD reasons. The Fast
Ethernet signal lines (one differential signal pair for transmit and one for receive direc-
tion) and the FE management bus are routed through the SIPAC connector to the back-
plane where the LTU-ETH (serving as a repeater) connects to them. The LTU-ETH
hosts the standard FE connector of the type RJ45 wired in DCE fashion.

ETH100 capabilities:
– Ethernet traffic is mapped using POS (according to ITU-T X.86, TD 2046/Rev2 -
SG7) in one VC4 payload which means that about 150 Mbit/s are available to carry
this traffic.
– 802.3x flow-control (PAUSE frames) support by the link partner (a router or switch
device) is not mandatory.
– Full-duplex operation must be supported by the Fast Ethernet link partner.
– Auto-negotiation is supported by the ETH100 interface module to advertise its
modes of operation (speed, full/half duplex, flow control) but can be switched OFF if
the link partner does not support this negotiation process. In this case the link part-
ner must be manually configured for full-duplex operation and 100 Mbit/s speed.
10 Mbit/s speed is not supported by the ETH100 interface.
– MTU (maximum transfer unit) for ETH100 is 1818 Bytes.
– fLinkDown communication alarm will be raised when no signal is detected (LOS) at
the FE port, synchronization is not possible or the auto-negotiation process has
failed / timed-out.
– fRemote communication alarm will be raised when the link-partner (router/switch) in-
dicates a failure condition during the auto-negotiation process such as capability
mismatch between the two link partners (full-duplex / speed mismatch).
fRemote can also be raised if the link-partner is in offline condition.
– fLTU equipment alarm will be raised when no corresponding LTU-ETH module is
present or no communication is possible with it.
– HDLC-like framing is supported.
4.5.3.12 Gigabit Ethernet Interface Module (ETH1000)

The ETH1000 card is a plug-in module for the SL64 NE on tributary side. In order to pro-
vide the required transparent MAC-bridge functionality an ETHn counterpart at the re-
mote end of an SDH path is required.
It is possible to plug in up to 16 ETH1000 cards into one SL64 NE.
The ETH1000 is managed by the board controller PCUD which connects to the
SCU-R2/ SCU-R2E System Controller via the Internal Communication Bus ICB.
A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618 65
SL64-3.3
The Ethernet interface allows direct interaction with the IP world.

The ETH1000 provides 6 LEDs for status indication. The LEDs H1-H4 are located at the
front panel and are dedicated to service technicians. Tab. 4.4 lists the functional assign-
ment of the LEDs. The LEDs H5-H6 are for debugging purposes during the development
process.
The ETH1000 cards ship in two versions.
The SX version comes with a short wave (850nm) fiber optic transceiver and supports
short-haul (<500m) multi mode fibers.
The LX version provides a long wave (1310nm) fiber optic transceiver and supports
long-haul (<10km) single mode fibers.

ETH1000 capabilities:
– Ethernet traffic is mapped using POS (according to ITU-T X.86, TD 2046/Rev2 -
SG7). The operator can configure the amount of SDH capacity that the ETH1000
module will use to transport the Ethernet traffic.
Two options are available:
The Ethernet traffic is mapped in one VC4 only, which means that about 150 Mbit/s
are available to carry the traffic.
Or the Ethernet traffic is mapped in one concatenated VC4-4 payload, which means
that about 600 Mbit/s are available to carry the traffic.
– This speed Ethernet - SDH adaptation will be done using 802.3x flow-control
(PAUSE frames) and therefore the Gigabit Ethernet link partner (a router or switch
device) must support 802.3x flow-control otherwise Ethernet packets will be
dropped when the maximum SDH capacity is reached (150 Mbit/s / 600 Mbit/s).
– Full-duplex operation must be supported by the Gigabit Ethernet link partner.
– Auto-negotiation is supported by the ETH1000 interface module (only in full-duplex
mode) to advertise its modes of operation (full duplex, flow control) but can be
switched OFF if the link partner does not support it. In this case the link partner must
be manually configured for full-duplex operation and flow control enabled.
– MTU (maximum transfer unit) of ETH1000 is 1818 Bytes.
– fLinkDown communication alarm will be raised when no signal is detected (LOS) at
the GE port, synchronization is not possible or the auto-negotiation process has
failed / timed-out.
– fRemote communication alarm will be raised when the link-partner (router/switch) in-
dicates a failure condition during the auto-negotiation process such as capability
mismatch between the two link partners (flow-control / full-duplex / speed mis-
match). fRemote can also be raised if the link-partner is in offline condition.
– HDLC-like framing is supported.
4.5.3.13 Line Terminating Unit Ethernet (LTU-ETH) Interface Module

This module is the companion for the ETH100 module for solving the external signal ac-
cess.
Due to ESD reasons the 100MB cable shield has to be connected to chassis frame
ground. This is not feasible on the ETH100 board so that the cable attachment on a LTU
slot is preferred. This board is called LTU-ETH and contains a standard 8-pin RJ-45
Ethernet connector as well as a link LED (green) and an activity LED (yellow). Data
transfer to the ETH100 card is performed using internal transmission lines on the SL64
back plane.
The Fast Ethernet signal lines (one differential signal pair for transmit and one for re-
ceive direction) and the FE management bus are routed through the SIPAC connector
to the backplane where the LTU-ETH (serving as a repeater) connects to them. The
LTU-ETH hosts the standard FE connector of the type RJ45 wired in DCE fashion.

4.5.4 Modules for Central Tasks
4.5.4.1 Clock Unit Line (CLL64 / CLL64-2) Module

The clock pulse module of the system is housed in module CLL64 / 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 CLL64 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 via the integrated microprocessor
unit PCU from/to the module.
Fig. 4.21 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 unsymmetrical/120 Ω symmetrical).
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 converting
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 OIS64 /
OIS64-2, SNL64-3 and EIPS1. The four different clock pulses of the T0Bus are needed
for OH/DCC processing, internal system communication as well as for time information.
68 A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618
SL64-3.3
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
CLL64 is also possible.

The CLL64-2 card / module is required in combination with the T3/T4 Clock Adapter
i CLA (e.g. for generating the T3 clock from a 2048-kbit/s signal).
The 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 4.5.4.2).
4.5.4.2 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.
A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618 69
SL64-3.3
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 CLL64-2 card / module (see Chapter
4.5.4.1) and furthermore the T3/T4 connector has to be set to 120 Ω.
The CLA operates with an input voltage of 48/60 V 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. In case of a fault, only the “loss of
synchronization” message in the dedicated NE using the CLA signals points indirectly
to the CLA which may be faulty.
The block diagram in Fig. 4.22 shows the functional blocks of CLA.

Clock Adaptation Channel

The CLA contains 3 independent bi-directional clock adaptation channels #n (with
n=1...3) with the following functions:
• T3 clock from LINE#n to NE #n
– 2048-kbit/s HDB3 input interface (T3nLI)
– 2048-kbit/s regeneration and SSM/QL extraction
– 2048-kHz clock recovery
– Output T3 2048-kHz clock with superimposed DC levels (T3nNO)
– Squelching of T3 2048-kHz clock in case of 2048 kbit/s input defects LOS, LOF
and NCM
• T4 clock from NE#n to LINE#n
– Input T4 2048-kHz from NE with superimposed DC levels (T4nNI)
– Synchronization of 2048-kbit/s frame generator
– Insertion of SSM/QL in 2048-kbit/s data frame
– 2048-kbit/s HDB3 output interface (T4nLO)
– In case of squelched 2048-kHz T4 clock the corresponding 2048-kbit/s T4 signal
is also squelched.
4.5.4.3 System Control Unit (SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E) Module

The SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E is the central processing unit of the SL equipment and here the
software functions 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 in-
terface to the LCT/NCT or a management system. In addition, interferences occurring
in the SL equipment (including interferences of the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E itself) are report-
ed 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-R2 /
SCU-R2E processor to the PCU processors of the other modules. A second bus system
with the designation PBUS (Protection Bus) connects the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E to the
main signal modules. This bus is used as “Express channel” to process communication
together with the protection switching measures and this way takes care of a quick con-
version. Both buses form part of the internal communication system ICS.
The SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E system control 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. 4.27).
The SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E 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.
72 A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618
SL64-3.3
• 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-R2 /
SCU-R2E and in the PCUs of the modules.
• It identifies each module within the synchronous line equipment.
Functional Description of the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E

Fig. 4.23 shows the basic mode of operation of the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E module using
a block diagram.
In the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E module, a RISC processor is employed as CPU (main pro-
cessor), 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 kilobytes memory capacity. It is battery buffered to supply time informa-
tion and store the test results and status information of the boot software. During shut-
down, the clock pulse oscillator automatically switches OFF to protect the battery. When
the system is installed for the first time, the time and the date have to be set.
The Program Memory with a maximum capacity of 32 Mbyte (flash PROM) is used for
storing the operating software, basic software and application software.
The Main Memory can be equipped with EDO DRAM up to 64 Mbyte memory capacity.
The Boot-EPROM with a capacity of 512 kilobytes stores the boot software for initiating
startup of the operating software. 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 per-
forms 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.

4.5.5 Modules for Supplementary Services
4.5.5.1 Overhead Access Unit (OHA) Module

The 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 receives
these bytes via the internal OH bus of the system. This bus transmits all the Overhead
Bytes except the DCC bytes; these are transmitted in a special bus (DCCB).
The integrated Overhead Processing Facility (OHP) allows bidirectional Cross-Connec-
tions between selectable Overhead Bytes from each STM-N interface on the line or trib-
utary 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. 4.24 shows the basic mode of operation of the OHA module using a block diagram.
A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618 75
SL64-3.3
The Peripheral Control Unit PCU communicates with other modules and the SCU-R2 /
SCU-R2E 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 is 64 kbit/s.
The 2048-kbit/s CAS Interface is used for cascading up to four OHA modules (not used
in SL64).
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 Signal Processor consists of a digital DTMF transmitter/receiver and a tone gen-
erator.

The OHB Interface consists of two 6.48-Mbit/s interfaces for “Add” and “Drop” to trans-
mit the OH bytes between OIS1, OIS4, OIS64 / OIS64-2, EIPS1, CLL64 / CLL64-2 and
OHA. The OH bytes can be configured freely.
4.5.5.2 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 module is not shown in equipping representations, because it has no access to
i the internal ICS communication system, but is controlled via the OHA module.
Fig. 4.25 shows the basic mode of operation of the TIF module using a block diagram.

TIF (neither of the two; channel 1; channel 2 or both channels).
The internal timing generator generates the clock pulses needed for the Controller and
the ASIC module DC64.
The Controller has the task of resetting the ASIC module DC64 and generating the
64-kbit/s signal.
The Serial/Parallel converter S/P converts the serial output signal to an 8-bit parallel sig-
nal or the 8-bit input signal to a serial signal.

4.6 Subrack Alarm Panel / Phone Indication (SRAP-PI)

The SRAP-PI consisting of the subrack alarm panel SRAP and the telephone indication
panel PI form a fixed part of the subrack.

4.6.1 Subrack Alarm Panel SRAP

The subrack alarm panel SRAP is used to display a defective subrack in the rack. It con-
tains the LED displays A, B and EL as well as the RT reset key. The LEDs are supplied
with a constant current derived from the signaling voltage +S/–S and the SCU-R2 /
SCU-R2E module. The signaling voltages +S and –S are insulated electrically by the
central supply voltage and the module supply voltages in which case the display of
alarms is also ensured should the equipment supply voltage fail.
Tab. 4.5 shows the importance of SRAP alarm displays.

The LEDs of group Ι on the Phone Indication Panel PI (Fig. 4.28) are controlled by mod-
ule OHA1, those of group ΙΙ when a second OHA module is used by module OHA2 (not
in this software version). An incoming call will be indicated by the corresponding LED
flashing (e.g. Ι #1), after the call is connected the indicator LED is lit continuously. Two
independent EOW conference calls #1 and #2 (express and omnibus channel) can be
displayed.
4.7 Fan Shelf

For forced cooling, a fan shelf with one slot for a slide-in fan unit (with 5 fans) is installed
below the SL64 subrack.
Use of the fan shelf is a mandatory requirement for operating the SL64!
! Loss of speed is supervised and an alarm is raised when it falls beyond the threshold.
The fault LED will light and an alarm for the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E will be created if:
– the revolution of at least one fan module has decreased to half of its nominal value,
– the power supply for at least one fan unit has failed.
4.8 DCM
Transmission on optical fiber links is limited by dispersion at high bit rates. To compen-
sate for this effect, the Dispersion Compensation Module DCM is used for Synchronous
Multiplexer SL64.
DCM is used to compensate part of the accommodated line dispersion in the very long
haul application according to ITU-T G.691 V-64.2a (see Fig. 9.1).
80 A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618
SL64-3.3
V-64-2a requires a compensation length of approximate 120 km. Typically dispersion

values for these distances are –2400 ps/nm (see 9.2.1).

5 Functional Features
5.1 Operation, Control and Monitoring

The payload signals are transmitted on the path as STM-64 signals. It is possible to in-
sert and decouple plesiochronous 140-Mbit/s signals and/or synchronous STM-1,
STM-4, STM-16 (or SONET) signals on the tributary side. In addition to the payload sig-
nal, 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 SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E control module
(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 SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E control module not only establishes the connection to the local
and remote control equipment (MCF function), but also monitors all internal functions of
the synchronous line equipment (SEMF function). The flexible monitoring concept of
synchronous line equipment based on software control can easily and quickly be adapt-
ed 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 QST/F interface,
– Messages via the QST/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
The following are of particular importance:
– Alarm processing (e.g. AIS) for localizing faulty equipment in the transmission net-
work.
– Fault diagnosis at module level (e.g. localizing a faulty module).
– Specifying and storing configuration data; the data 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.

SL64-3.3
5.1.1 Display and Operating Elements of the Network Element

The display elements (LEDs) at the subracks (see Chapter 4.6.1) 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 QST/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 ap-
plication.
In local operation (e.g. for initial installation), connection takes place via the QST/F inter-
face (ITU-T V.24) and in central operation via the QST/B3 interface (via a Medium At-
tachment 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 QST/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 QST/B3 interface.
The interfaces at the synchronous line equipment have been designed as D subminia-
ture connectors; they are in the connector panel of the application (see Chapter 6.3).

If required, several decentralized monitoring terminals can be used at the same time in
a network. When changing the alarm interrogation operation to the interactive operation
(configuring), the user logging in first secures write access rights.

5.1.2.2 Access Control

The LCT software is protected by a password against the unauthorized reading out of
configuration data and unauthorized controlling interventions.
A specific user class is permanently allocated to each user identification (Name/pass-
word combination). On logging in, access rights applicable to the operator are displayed
on the LCT.
5.1.2.3 User Interface

Help The individual menus and windows are described in detail in the On-line Help.
The LCT offers a menu-controlled, graphical color user interface.
The user interface shows a physical view (Module View) of the network element (display
of the modules in the subrack).
Fig. 5.2 User Interface for SL64 (Sample)
Menus and windows are basically handled the same way as in MS-Windows.

5.1.3 Control and Monitoring by the NCT

The Network Craft Terminal NCT carries out all the functions of the Local Craft Terminal
LCT (see Chapter 5.1.2). In addition, the NCT is used for alarm monitoring in networks
with up to 50 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.
The NCT therefore offers the following network functions according to ITU-T M.3010:
Using the NCT represents a practical solution for management tasks (Telecommunica-
tions Management Network TMN) in smaller to medium networks as well as for existing
networks with expansion stages staggered with respect to time. It is particularly suitable
for modern SDH transmission networks with high availability and correspondingly few
alarms.

If requested, several NCTs can also be operated at the same time in a network without
data collision. When changing the alarm monitoring operation to the interactive opera-
tion (configuring), the user logging in first secures the write access rights.
5.1.3.1 System Requirements

mum configuration is suitable:

tion)

5.1.4 Control and Monitoring by a Network Management System

For central control of all synchronous line units of a network, a network management
system can be used.
It communicates with the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E system control of the synchronous line
equipment like the local operating terminal LCT. However, the two control possibilities
can be used independently.
5.1.4.1 Access Control

Access control for reading configuration and operation data as well as for controlling in-
terventions in the synchronous line equipment is provided by the network management
system.

5.2 Protection Switching

The protection switching options realized for SL64 networks currently are as follows:
• Linear Multiplex Section Protection: STM-64 Linear-MSP (1+1 or 1:1), STM-16
Linear-MSP (1+1 or 1:1), STM-4 Linear-MSP (1+1), STM-1 Linear-MSP (1+1)
• Self-Healing Ring Protection: STM-64 (BSHR-2 combined with MSP), STM-16
(BSHR-2 combined with MSP)
• Extra traffic is supported in Linear MSP and MS-BSHR-2 protection schemes.
• Path Protection (SNCP)
• Card Protection for some modules
• Squelch tables for HO squelching in BSHRs according to ITU-T G.841
The following paragraphs give more detailed descriptions of the different types of pro-
tection switching with their relevant functionalities.
5.2.1 Module Protection Switching

To increase system availability, the following possibilities exist for module protection
switching:
– (1+1) protection switching for the switching network module SNL64-3 and for the
clock pulse supply module CLL64,
– (1+1) protection switching for optical modules OIS64 / OIS64-2 (combined with
MSP)
– (1+1) protection switching for optical modules OIS16 / OIS16-2 (combined with
MSP)
– (1+1) protection switching for optical modules OIS4 / OIS4-2 (combined with MSP)
– (1+1) protection switching for optical modules OIS1 (combined with MSP)
– (1:n)-protection switching for electrical interface modules EIPS1
(STM-1 / 140 Mbit/s). Example see Fig. 4.15.
Over and above that, the supply voltage feed to the line equipment can be duplicated.
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 OIS modules 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 to two sep-
arate lines. One of the two data signals is selected on the receiver side. External protec-

tion 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.

5.2.2.2 Linear (1:1) MSP with Extra Traffic

In the case of (1:1) protection switching with extra traffic, the main traffic data signal is
transmitted via the working line, and a (less important) extra traffic data signal can be
transmitted via the protection line. Both data signals are simultaneously available on the
receiver side. 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. 5.6 shows the fault-free case.

SL64-3.3

Linear MSP can either be initiated manually using the operating terminal/OS or automat-
ically under the control of the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E. 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, e.g.:
Loss of Signal LOS,
Loss of Frame LOF,
Section-AIS received
– Signal degrade, SD (the threshold bit error rate is configurable; proper configura-
tion allows protection switching at bit error rates below 10-6)
• Remote initiation
– Changeover of other network elements by 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) have been implemented.
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, with or without
extra traffic.
Since each line interface is connected to an optical fiber for incoming signals and optical
fiber 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 as few 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.
The switchover mode is revertive and it is possible for the user to configure the wait-to-
restore time.
In fault-free state, the protection channels can be used to transmit extra traffic VC-4s. In
case of protection switching, this extra traffic transmission is interrupted.
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 in fault-free operation.

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 SNL64-3 via the working OIS module if a fault occurs (see Fig. 5.5). If,
in the worst case, the working OIS module is faulty, this can however lead to signal fail-
ure.
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 OIS. CRS becomes active when the working OIS module reports a hardware
fault; module SNL64-3 then selects the protection OIS module.
Card Release Switching can be used in combination with (1+1) or (1:1) MSP and with
BSHR-2.
Fig. 5.10 shows an example of (1+1) multiplex section protection in “Protection” state
without effective CRS. The transmission signal was diverted to the protection line, the
OIS working module is operating fault-free.

5.2.5 (1+1) Path Protection Switching

(Subnetwork Connection Protection, SNCP)
SNCP is provided with the aid of the SNL64-3 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. 5.12). 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”.
A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618 95
SL64-3.3
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.

5.2.5.1 Path Protection Switching Connection Possibilities

– Line/line-path-protection switching

• External initiation for existing connections (including drop & continue)
– Forced Switch (changeover via operating terminal/OS)
• Internal initiation
– Trail signal fail (TSF): This criterion is generated by the HPOM function (High Or-
der POH Monitor), e.g. server signal fail (SSF) of the Multiplex Section Adaption
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 SNL64-3)

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.
• 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 On-line Help). The
telephone conference circuit allows the interconnection of external speech channels
A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618 97
SL64-3.3
(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
On-Line Help).
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 / 2048-kbit/s (via CLA) clock pulse signal T3 which can be ap-
plied at a synchronization input of the 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 (CLL64) module takes care of local
synchronizing.
The signals T1 (STM signals) and T3 (2048 kHz) feed the clock pulse information into
the SETS (see Fig. 5.13). 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. 5.13 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 (see Chapter 9.5).
5.5 Real Time Clock

For time stamps (time and date) in error and operational messages of the SCU-R2 /
SCU-R2E and PCUs, a real time clock is available on the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E module
(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
A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618 99
SL64-3.3
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 SL network
element, the laser transmitter is switched OFF in this equipment for the opposite direc-
tion and thereby the disturbed field is taken out of operation. Then the laser transmitter
can be switched on periodically every 70 s (for 2 s or 9 s restart pulse length) or for 2 s,
9 s or 100 s (configurable). If the receiver of the device concerned again receives a valid
signal, the laser transmitter of the opposite direction is again immediately put into con-
tinuous operation.
When switching on internal power supplies or after a laser switch-OFF caused by total
failure of the power supply in the telecommunications center, the laser transmitter(s)
must be forced switched ON for approximately 2 s, 9 s or 100 s after the permissible
operating conditions have been reached.
In the case of line interruption or for maintenance work, the laser transmitter must be
switched ON manually for approximately 2 s or approximately 90 s (test purposes). The
transmitter is switched back ON via the operating terminal.
5.7 Single-Fiber Operation

It is also possible to operate the SL64 in single-fiber mode with STM-1, STM-4, STM-16,
and STM-64 signals. For this purpose, a separate optical splitter is required; however,
this increases the attenuation.
To enable the ALS function (see Chapter 5.6) to shut down the laser safely − for exam-
ple after a fiber breakage − even in single-fiber mode (rather than being forced into a
malfunction state by its own transmit signal) the optical interface must be capable of dis-
tinguishing between its own transmit signal and the signal received from the far-end sys-
tem. The J0 byte is used for this purpose.
The ALS function should always be enabled in single-fiber mode.

6 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). Fig. 6.1 and Fig. 6.2 show typical equip-
ping examples.
The SL64 subrack is secured on the front of the rack. To make fitting easier, there are
two support lugs in each case which have to be fitted in the points on the front of the
rack where the subracks 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. Heat is dissipated from the modules by forced
convection with the aid of a fan shelf.
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.

SL64-3.3
6.2 Rack Terminal Panel

The rack terminal panel is fitted in the slot of the top-most rack. It contains a fuse panel
(different versions, see Fig. 6.1 and Fig. 6.2), equipped with circuit breakers and a sig-
nal 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.
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 QST/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 cables
via the MAU (also via several racks).
☞ The rack cabling needed for commissioning the rack is described in the Instal-
lation and Test Manual, ITMN.
6.3 Subracks and Equipping
6.3.1 Subrack SL64

The double-row subrack SL64 (Fig. 6.3) is the universal subrack for equipping as syn-
chronous add/drop multiplexer, synchronous line terminal or local cross-connect. Re-
configuration is possible at any time by simply exchanging modules, even subsequently
during operation.
The subrack contains, from top to bottom:
– a connector array for the power supply (working/reserve) of subrack and Fan-shelf;
– slots for 142 mm high interface modules;
– an alarm panel with LED displays and connector panel for service/operating inter-
faces;
– slots (single row and double row) for 565 mm and 265 mm high transmission mod-
ules plus control and clock modules.
The SL64 subrack has the following plug-in slots:
– 16 tributary (OIS(N), OIS(N)-2, EIPS1, ETH100/1000) and/or booster and/or pream-
plifier cards
– 2 tributary protection and/or booster and/or preamplifier cards
– 2 x CLL64 / CLL64-2
– 2 x SNL64-3 (double height card)
– 2 x OIS64 / OIS64-2 (double height card)
– 1 x OHA
– 1 x SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E
The subrack is basically intended for fitting in an ETS rack, it cannot be mounted in a
19-inch rack.
Heat is dissipated by forced convection with the aid of a fan shelf built into the rack.
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).
104 A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618
SL64-3.3
The FO connections are positioned on the front of the optical modules as a manual con-
nector with a special jack for:

6.3.2 Modules
Plug-in modules are functional elements which can be exchanged independently of
each other with special, decentralized power supply (except for the LTU64, LTU-ETH).
SL64 can be adapted to the desired tasks (add/drop, terminal or cross-connect function
with the number of optical and electrical interfaces needed in each case) by simply add-
ing or replacing modules. In synchronous add/drop multiplexers, synchronous terminals
and cross-connects, modules of the same type are used.

tion aids engage 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.
6.3.4 Coding the Module Backplane Connector

A mechanical SIPAC-S coding device on the module backplane connector
(see Fig. 6.4) and the backplane printed circuit board of the inset ensures that each
module in the inset can only be inserted into one slot which is permissible for the rele-
vant module type.

7 Software and Firmware
7.1 General
Each SL64 synchronous add/drop multiplexer, synchronous line terminal and cross-
connect has an “embedded” operating system with UNIX mechanisms in the SCU-R2 /
SCU-R2E (see Chapter 4.5.4.3) 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-R2 / SCU-R2E 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-R2 / SCU-R2E module.

7.2 Software Structure of the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E

The software of the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E System Control Unit is divided into three parts:
– SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E Base and Application Software BASW
– SEMF software
– MCF software
7.2.1 SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E Base and Application Software BASW

(Base Software)
The base software of the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E is the underlying, universal-design oper-
ating system and communication software, which together with the hardware makes it
possible to carry out the various functions of the synchronous line equipment.
A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618 109
SL64-3.3
The base software consists of:

• The boot firmware which initiates the start of the operating system and
• The operating software as basis for the application software which contains all the
task-specific software sections (it provides the universal user interface between ap-
plication 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 the 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 provides the routing function for network management informa-
tion between the network management system and other network elements. The MCF
software 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 to 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 administered by the system administrator.
110 A42022-L5907-B51-2-7618
SL64-3.3
• Ethernet Address (Address of the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E)

These addresses clearly specify the identity of the synchronous line equipment.
7.5 Log Records

It is not mandatory for the equipment of the network element SL64 to be permanently
connected to an operating terminal or a network management system for continuous
alarm monitoring. All currently occurring, urgent and non-urgent alarm messages are
stored in the SCU-R2 / SCU-R2E. All the events which have already been acknowl-
edged (“acknowledge”) are recorded in log records.
After an 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 configu-
ration 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.
7.6 Software Download

Help The hardware and software requirements as well as the procedure for the soft-
ware download for maintenance measures are described in On-Line Help of the
synchronous line equipment.
7.7 Management PC Software

Special management PC software is available for the operating terminal LCT and NCT
respectively.
7.7.1 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 SL64 (see Fig. 7.2). For all network el-
ements of the second SDH generation there are corresponding SW modules.
This modular software concept makes it possible to integrate the network element-spe-
cific 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 multiplexer SL64 has to be configured on initial commissioning. For
this purpose, a Local Craft Terminal (LCT) has to be connected to the QST/F interface
of the SL equipment. The hardware and software requirements at the craft terminal are
described in Chapter 5.1.2.1. The craft terminal offers a graphical, menu-driven user in-
terface.
☞ Detailed information for commissioning the synchronous multiplexer SL64 and

the operating terminals is given in the Installation and Test Manual, ITMN.
8.2 Operation
☞ Operation of the synchronous multiplexer SL64 is explained in the Operator

Guidelines, OGL.
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).
☞ Setting the switches is described in the Installation and Test Manual, ITMN.
In the Subrack Alarm Panel SRAP-PI of the SL64 equipment there is an acknowledge
key RT for manual acknowledgment of the Bw7R alarm messages (see Chapter 4.6).
☞ Operation of the Subrack Alarm Panel SRAP is explained in the Operator

Guidelines, OGL.
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 (INT) and (except for
LTU module) a green service status LED (ID) on the front of each module which are vis-
ible after the subrack cover has been removed (see Fig. 6.4).
The type of display is explained in 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-R2 / SCU-R2E and originate from the operating terminal LCT or NCT
(or from a network management system) when commissioning or in the case of later
changes.
Help Configuration of the modules using software is explained in the On-Line Help.
On the front of the TIF module there are two switches to select the 64-kbit/s channels
(see Chapter 4.5.5.2).

SL64-3.3
☞ The functioning of the switches is explained in detail in the Installation and Test
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-R2 / SCU-R2E 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).
The 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
☞ The maintenance of the SL64 is described in the OGL and in the On-Line Help.
Help
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 QST/F (LCT/NCT) or under remote control via the QST/B3 interface
(LCT/NCT or a network management system).
