Whats new?
Whats new?
New subrack MLS_3F has been introduced. This new subrack can be used either as MAIN subrack or as
EXTENSION subrack.
The Alcatel 1540 Litespan supports a variety of different scenarios. Different configurations of the
Subrack

Boards
New LIOC
LIOC (Local Input/Output Card). This board is used in the first position of MLS_3F subrack.
The board includes mainly the functions of outband Ethernet O&M, craft terminal, G.703
synchronization interface and external alarms collection. This card is based on previous FR2.X
Ethernet interface for the system and connections from every controller (NB, BB and ADM's)
allowing one only external O&M for all the system controller elements.

NEHC-C
The Narrowband Element Handler Controller (NEHC) performs the narrowband controller function as
Network Element Controller in MLS subrack. This new NEHC-C PDH would be used only in PDH / TDM
applications. This new NEHC-C PDH do not support some functionality previously supported as:

It is a 48 subscribers POTS line card. The main impact of this new equipment practice in line cards is
that the access to subscriber lines is now performed through front-plate connector instead of rear
back-plane connectors.

LIOC
The board includes mainly the functions of outband Ethernet O&M, craft terminal, G.703
The LIOC assumes the RI functions in MBTP and TAUP in the current MLS's. It places together the
information distributed in the current practice in TAUP and MBTP plugs in one only RI EPROM
accessible via IAB from NEHC. The IAB interface is used as well for communication of external alarms.
This card is based on previous FR2.X Litespan cards POWP, MBTP, TAUP, HBMPA and HBMPB. External

Through a RS232 interface on the front panel the craft terminal is connected.
The connector used is RJ11 on the front panel, and the signals are RXD_CT, TXD_CT, DTR_CT, CD,
DSR_CT and EG. The type is asynchronous, full duplex, 1 starts bit, 8 data, 1 parity programmable bit,
1 stop bit, while the speed is Configurable and can be up to 9600 b/s. There is a RS232 receiver and
transmitter used.
The LIOC includes one external interface for the system. This interface is connected to an internal
switch in LIOC and the Aneto MLS provides connections from every controller (NB-CCs, BB-CCs and
ADM's) to that switch, allowing in the future one only external O&M for all the system controller

from all these slots to the LIOC position, each one connected to a differential port in the switch.

Can be equipped in two specific slots in MLS-3F (L311ANE) or in four specific slots in MLS-3F4 variant.
The redundancy lines are integrated in the back-plane, including the simulation of VISP-A plug
presence. In the case of MLS-3F4 redundancy can be achieved for the first and for the second
pair of VIS3-B cards., it means that redundancy in these cards is by pairs, one VIS3-B is active and
the other the redundant in the first pair, and the same for the second pair of VIS3 cards. No Sw
impact is foreseen. At start-up VISC-B Sw will detect the VISP-A plug presence only if hot
switch-over is configured by operator and NEHC initializes the VISC-B in this mode; otherwise the
plug presence is not checked. The case of cold redundancy is fully driven by the NEHC, careless on
the plug presence. As conclusion, in case one only VISC-B is equipped (i.e. the peer VISC-B is not
present or a LT card is equipped in such position) no issue is expected although the simulated

SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD
The Software management menu, allows displaying and/or modifying the SW versions available at NEHC
board, showing the status of the SW downloading process if any. Other possible operation is to
download a new version (or edition) of software to the main boards of the system, from a remote
The NEHC board (where the software to be downloaded is targeted) has two banks of memory; therefore
it is possible to start downloading new software without disturbing traffic. Once the new software has
been downloaded (in the inactive bank of memory), it is possible to activate it (to copy to the
destination boards and to test if it works properly) and to commit it (to finish the operation, by
releasing the inactive bank of memory). If the test shows that it is not working properly, it is possible
to go back with the previous software, via the roll back option (if it is not yet committed). Please,
notice that for starting a downloading process, it is necessary to release the inactive bank of memory,
EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATION
To declare any extended MLS in the Litespan-1540, select Equipment Declare Subrack.
The first field to fill is the number of the subrack. Select n for the Extended # [n-1] number.
UNIT DECLARATION
There are two ways to declare a unit, selecting Equipment Declare Board menu options or clicking
INTERFACE CONFIGURATION
The interface declaration is organized based on the type of interface for FR2: V5.1 or V5.2 interfaces (for
digital voice subscribers), Mirror interfaces (for analogue voice subscribers), Leased line interfaces
(for digital data subscribers), HDSL interfaces (for HDSL transport) and optical interfaces (for PDH 34
The V5.2 interface is a standard protocol between a local exchange (LE) and an access node (AN). The
interface description can be found on ITU-T G.965 (or ETSI ETS 300 347-1). Each V5.2 interface can
have from 1 x 2048 Kb/s link (min) up to 16 x 2048 Kb/s links (max).
b) There are link protection (group 1) and channel protection (group 2).
c) The interface can manage POTS, ISDN BRA and ISDN PRA
INTERFACE CONFIGURATION
The V5.2 interface has traffic channels (bearer channels) and signalling channels (c-channels). The
The subscriber signalling is divided into: One for all subscribers. P channels (X-25, SAPI=16) One for each subscriber. F channels (frame-relay, SAPI=32-62) One for each subscriber. D channels (BRA D16 PRA D64, SAPI16,32-62). One for each subscriber

INTERFACE CONFIGURATION
Only are marked (Type) the primary and secondary links. The interface has a label (User label) and two
numbers, one of them (Interface Identifier) provided by the exchange and another for internal use
(Alcatel Itf Identifier) starting 1 and ending in the max number of interfaces. Each link belonging to
an interface is identified by an exchange number (2Mbps Id) and an internal number (2Mbps link

SYNCHRONIZATION
The scope of this section is the timing sources (also denoted as clock sources) configuration.
To configure the extracted timing sources, from Main menu, select Admin Timing Sources
Configuration as shown
The PDH Litespan has five timing sources: Two externals, two extracted and one internal. The external
The internal one is located in NEHC-C (64 KHz clock reference) and it is not configurable.
The extracted ones are configurable and timing sources are extracted from one and/or two G.703 2048
Kb/s links.
The timing sources must fulfill G.704 frequency accuracy (50 ppm) and jitter and wander must fulfill
G.736 and G.823 for proper operation. Litespan output clock has a frequency accuracy of 50 ppm.
Litespan intrinsic output jitter is less than 25 ns (measured in a 60 sec time interval and within frequency
range from 20Hz to 100KHz). Anyway, the output jitter is according G.823 option 1 (if extracted
source).
When system is working with external (or extracted) references, the operating mode is tracking mode.
Otherwise, if internal is used, the system has free running mode. If being used clock source fails, the
system search from highest to lowest priority source which is the first available (without failure)
source and switches to it. The system remains with selected source even a higher priority source
become available. That means, no switchover (except for free running mode).
