Chapter
Traditional SDH Service Networking Configuration

This chapter describes the configuration flow of establishing a transmission network with the ZXONM E300. In addition, an example of SDH service networking is included to describe the operation steps and methods.
Configuration Flow
The networking configuration with ZXONM E300 has two typical flows according to whether the NEs are online or offline.
Note: Online status indicates that the NE configuration commands are sent at realtime to the NCP card, and then are forwarded to the corresponding card by NCP card. Offline status indicates that the NE configuration commands are only saved in the EMS database and are not sent to the NCP card, since the NE is offline.
Networking flow of online NEs The networking flow of online NEs is listed in Table 4.

Note: Some other configurations may need to be performed in the EMS according to actual networking requirement and equipment type: If the network needs MS protection, configure MS protection before configuring timeslots. If the network needs Ethernet or ATM service, configure them. For detailed configuration, refer to Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. If the equipment has special requirement for configuration, e.g. the ZXMP S330 needs 1:N protection for card, make corresponding configurations in EMS.
20
Chapter 1 - Traditional SDH Service Networking Configuration
Configuration Example
In this section, you will learn about the configuration of traditional SDH services with a networking example for offline network elements.
Networking Configuration
Suppose there are six NEs: A, B, C, D, E and F. The network consisting of them is illustrated in Figure 1.

Chapter
Circuit Service Configuration

This chapter introduces the configuration flow of circuit services in the ZXONM E300. In addition, detailed operation steps and methods are described on the basis of the networking example in Chapter 1.
Configuration Flow
With the circuit re-discovery function provided by the circuit service management functional module, the timeslots configured manually can be used to create circuits automatically. Users can also create circuits themselves. According to different creation processes, the circuit creation can be divided into: Creation of service layer circuits, Creation of PDH unidirectional/bidirectional circuits, Creation of broadcast circuits, Creation of concatenation circuits, and Creation of data services.
49
Service Layer Circuit

Definition Service layer circuits are service-layer connections, which are the basis to achieve PDH circuits and broadcast circuits. Each service layer circuit can be allocated to multiple circuits. For the service layer circuit created in AU4 multiplexing mode with the speed E1/E3/DS3/E4, the speed of the circuit is VC4. For the service layer circuit created in AU3 multiplexing mode with the speed E1/E3/DS3, the speed of the circuit is VC3. Creating procedure
Determine the circuit speed, direction and priority
Determine the information of ends
Set the routing restriction (optional)
Set the protection relation (optical)
Set basic information of the circuit (such as name, user)
Confirm the creation operation
Issue the configuration data
50
Chapter 2 - Circuit Service Configuration
PDH Circuit
Definition PDH circuits refer to the unidirectional and bidirectional circuits with the speed E1/E3/DS3/E4. The VC4 or VC3 service layer path must be created before creating a PDH circuit. Creation procedure
Create the service layer circuit
Determine the circuit speed, direction and priority of the PDH circuit
Select the port (optional)
51
Broadcast Circuit
Definition Broadcast circuits refer to point-to-multipoint unidirectional circuits with the speed of E1/E3/DS3/E4. A unidirectional service layer path with the speed of VC4 or VC3 must be created before creating a broadcast circuit. Creation procedure 1. Create trunk circuit for the broadcast circuit group
Create the unidirectional service-layer circuit
Determine the circuit speed, direction and priority of the broadcast circuit
Determine the property of the broadcast circuit group (create the broadcast group and name it)
Select the port (optional)
Set basic information of the circuit (such as circuit name, user)
52
2. Add tributaries to the broadcast circuit group
Note: The unidirectional service-layer circuit of the broadcast tributary circuit and the service-layer circuit of the trunk circuit have the same originating ends and different terminating ends. Therefore, you only need to determine the terminating ends of them when determining the ends information.
53
Concatenation Circuit
Definition The ZXONM E300 supports unidirectional and bidirectional concatenation circuits at the rate of VC4-4C, VC4-8C, VC4-16C, VC464C, and VC4-nC (2 n 64). Creation procedure
Determine the circuit speed, direction and priority of the concatenation circuit
Select the path
54
Data Service Circuit

Definition Data service circuits refer to Ethernet service circuits. You may implement service configuration at the system side by creating Ethernet service circuits when the ZXMP S320, ZXMP S330, ZXMP S360, ZXMP S380 and ZXMP S390 need to transmit Ethernet services. Creation procedure

Remarks The speed of the abutting equipment should comply with the duplex mode. Value range: 1 to 4095 Once the flow control of a user port is enabled:
Flow Control
Flow control and QoS are two methods to handle network congestion. They have opposite principles and cannot be used at the same time. If the system port bandwidth is less than the corresponding user port traffic, flow control is recommended for user port and system port. If multiple user ports share one system port, QoS should be enabled.
The flow control should also be enabled for the port of user equipment which connects to this user port. The flow control should be enabled for the corresponding system port simultaneously. If a user port employs the WFQ mode of QoS, QoS priority should be selected. Each QoS priority corresponds to a bandwidth ratio, and the bandwidth is configured in the system port configuration. It is recommended to enable this function.
QoS Priority
Self MAC
Study
Set if the user port supports self-study of MAC address. If this function is disabled, the port has to obtain the destination address via the static MAC address configuration. Limit the rate of data frames sent by the user port. There is no limit by default. Bind all the ports with the same physical type to one logical port so as to increase bandwidth capacity of link, evenly distribute data into multiple physical links, and protect links using redundant routes.
OutRateLimit
Trunking Group
It is optional and can be configured according to service requirement.

TABLE 31 SYSTEM PORT CONFIGURATION P AR AMETERS OF SFE/SGE CARD
Description The type and quantity of system port is determined by the card type Includes the access mode and the trunk mode: Refer to Table 30. In access mode, the port will add VLAN ID to the received data frame. Flow control and QoS are two methods to handle network congestion. They have opposite principles and cannot be used at the same time. If the system port bandwidth is less than the corresponding user port traffic, flow control is recommended for user port and system port.
Remarks The port configuration will not take effect until the port is enabled. The trunk mode is recommended for system port. Value range: 1 to 4095 Once the flow control of a system port is enabled, the flow control should be enabled for the corresponding user port simultaneously. If a system port employs the WFQ mode of QoS, the relationship between the QoS priority and the bandwidth must be configured. The system ports at both ends of Ethernet traffic must have the same transmission capacity. Otherwise, the traffic is blocked.
VLAN Mode Pvid
Flow Control
QoS Priority
If multiple user ports share one system port, QoS should be enabled. Configure VC12 virtual concatenation group. Assign path groups to system ports. LCAS refers to the Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme. When the user bandwidth changes, LCAS can adjust the number of VC paths in a virtual concatenation group to prevent traffic interruption or only cause transient interruption.
Path Group Config Set Port Capacity
LCAS Config
When the LCAS is enabled, if a VC in a path group fails, the system will automatically delete the invalid VC, and the remaining normal VCs can keep transmitting traffic. When the invalid VC recovers, the system will add the VC into the virtual concatenation group.
The LCAS function is recommended for system ports.
iii. Configure the card property In the Data Card Property page, set the running mode and MAC address of the card. Refer to Table 32 for parameter descriptions and configuration principles.

TABLE 32 P ARAMETERS OF SFE/SGE CARD PROPERTY
Running Mode Option Description The port forwards data packets by searching the MAC address table, thus implements the arbitrary switching between user ports and system ports. Remarks Enabling two or more ports in this mode on a card may result in broadcast storm, and finally result in traffic failure It is similar to the transparent transmission by physical channel, and can transparently transmit various protocol frames including 802.1x frames. If a card employs the transparent mode, the VLAN mode configuration of the user port becomes invalid. It can ensure the traffic security. However, when the traffic contains a large number of VLANs, each VLAN needs to be configured independently, which requires a lot of work.
Default Mode
Transparent Mode
The MAC address and VLAN are shielded. The point-to-point transparent transmission path is provided. Data frames can be forwarded only between the user port and the system port that are bound to each other.
VLAN Mode
Data frames are forwarded by the assigned VLAN and by searching the MAC address table. Traffic between different VLANs is blocked for the sake of isolation and security. The MAC address is shielded when forwarding data packets according to the assigned VLAN. This mode allows receiving packets with the same source address from different ports. It supports the transparent transmission of all kinds of protocol packets and the convergence of traffic based on VLANs.
Virtual Mode
Channel
MAC Address Description Input the MAC address of the card in HEX format. Remarks The MAC addresses should be unique to avoid broadcast storm.
3. Configure VLAN and STP If the running mode of the Ethernet card is Default Mode or Transparent Mode, go to step 4 directly. Otherwise, follow the flowchart shown in Figure 36 to configure VLAN and STP (Spanning Tree Protocol). The parameters are described in Table 33.

4. Configure services i. Select the node and the menu item Device Config -> Ethernet Management -> RPR Ethernet Service Attribute, to set the attribute of RPR service for the VLAN classified in step 3 in the popup dialog box. The RPR traffic is classified into three types depending on the QoS: type A, B, and C, with priorities of A>B>C. Type A Auxiliary parameters: Max BW and Reserved BW, where BW refers to bandwidth. The traffic of type A shares the reserved bandwidth in RPR ring. Even in case of idleness, this bandwidth cannot be occupied by traffic of other types. If type A traffic exceeds the upper limit of the bandwidth, all of them will be discarded. It is not controlled by the fairness algorithm, and has invariable rates. The delay and jitter effect on them is the smallest. It is applicable to analog Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) traffic. Type B Auxiliary parameters: Max BW and Min BW, where BW refers to bandwidth. Type B traffic is classified into B-type CIR traffic and B-type EIR traffic. The B-type CIR traffic occupies guaranteed bandwidth and are not controlled by the fairness algorithm. When the bandwidth is idle, it can be occupied by other traffic. The B-type EIR traffic occupies bandwidth between the limited bandwidth and the guaranteed bandwidth, which can be shared with other nodes, and it is controlled by the fairness algorithm. It is applicable to traffic which is insensitive to delay but requires bandwidth guarantee. For example, some data traffic with high requirement can occupy more bandwidth when there is idle bandwidth. Type C Auxiliary parameters: Max BW, where BW refers to bandwidth. The traffic of type C is processed in an attempt, which has no bandwidth guarantee and is controlled by the fairness algorithm. When the traffic exceeds the bandwidth limit, it will be discarded completely. It has a large delay and jitter. It is applicable to data services with lower requirements.
Note: One VLAN can only have one traffic type, and different VLANs can have identical traffic type.

ii. Select the node in the RPR ring and the menu item Device Config -> SDH Management -> Service Config. In the Service Config dialog box, establish the connection between the SPAN port of the RSEA card and the optical line card according to the timeslot cross-connect configuration method. The two SPAN ports should be connected to two optical line cards respectively.
Note: The VC4 paths occupied by two RPR SPAN ports should respectively connect with two optical line cards. If the rate of RPR ring network is 622 Mbit/s, i.e. the rate of path group at RPR SPAN port is 622 Mbit/s, the AU4 path of the abutting optical line card should be configured with AU4-4C real concatenation.
5. Configure the optical line cards for the passed-by node In the client operation window, select a passed-by site and click to select Device Config -> SDH Management -> Service Config. In the Service Config dialog box, establish the pass-through connection for the passed-by optical line card.

APS Byte Setting

The Automatic Protection Switching (APS) byte serves for transmitting the MSP switching information. Only when the APS byte is transmitted correctly, can the multiplex section protection switching work normally. The value of APS byte can range from 0 to 3, and the default value is 0. An NE can be included in multiple MSP groups, when it has been configured into a logical subnet. The ZXONM E300 supports the setting of APS byte in the unit of port, thus guaranteeing normal working of each MSP group. The principles to set the APS byte are described as follows. The APS byte of two ports physically connected in the same MS ring must be the same, to guarantee correct transmission of APS byte between two nodes. If one port belongs to different MSP groups, the APS byte of each MSP group must be unique. The ZXMP S320 and ZXMP S360 do not support the setting of APS byte, and their default APS byte is 0. Therefore, the APS byte must be set to zero for the optical ports connected with the ZXMP S320 or ZXMP S360 equipment.
124
To set the APS byte:

Take the MSP ring 1 consisting of NE A, B, C, and D in the network presented in Chapter 1 as an example. 1. Configure the two-fiber bidirectional MSP ring Create a MSP group and configure the MS protection relation according to the description in the section of Configuration of Two-fiber Bidirectional MSP Ring in Chapter 1. 2. In the MS Protection dialog box, check the APS byte of the abutting port at the neighbor NE, as shown in Figure 65;
FIGURE 65 MS PROTECTION DIALOG BOX
3. Select the Config radio button in the Operation Mode area; 4. Modify the APS byte of the local port to be same as the value displayed in Neighbor Ne Aps Byte; 5. Click the Apply button to save the APS value; 6. Repeat step 1 to step 7 to set and save the APS byte for the NE B, C, and D in the MSP group respectively. [Result Verification] Check if all the NEs can work normally.
125
DCC Use Configuration

The data communication channel (DCC) carries the communication data between NEs, including the regenerator section DCC bytes (DCCr) and the multiplex section DCC byte (DCCm). Table 56 lists the DCC use configuration supported by NEs of different types.
TABLE 56 DCC USE CONFIGURATION
DCC Configuration DCCr (Byte: D1 ~ D3 ) DCCr + DCCm (Byte: D1 ~ D12)
Default Configuration Optical interface card at the rate no greater than STM-16 Optical interface card at the rate of STM-64
Applicable NE and Card All SDH NEs Optical cards of ZXMP S380, ZXMP S390, ZXMP S330, ZXMP S325, and ZXMP S385; and optical cards and ET1 card of ZXMP S200.
Through configuring the DCC use and changing the DCC byte of the port, the following functions can be provided: The communication rate of NEs will be improved with the DCC configuration of DCCr + DCCm. As long as the DCC byte of the abutting optical interfaces keeps the same, any line port can use DCCr or DCCm to carry the communication data separately. When the DCC is not used for optical interfaces, non-communication data can be transmitted through the pass-through connection between DCCr and DCCm among different ports with the overhead crossconnect function of the EMS. The DCC byte can be configured separately and differently in the receiving direction and the transmitting direction.
Caution: The DCC must be configured as DCCr for the optical card used for regeneration. If the DCC is used to transmit communication data, the DCC setting must be the same for the abutting optical interfaces to guarantee the communication data transmission.
126
To set the DCC use:

1. Select an applicable NE in the topology. 2. Select the menu item Device Config -> SDH Management -> DCC Use Set to enter the DCC Use Set dialog box.

The right side of the the dialog box will display all the ports and DCC configuration information of the card. 4. Select the DCC use byte of the local port in the dialog box according to the DCC use of the abutting optical interface, as shown in Figure 66.
FIGURE 66 DCC USE SET DIALOG BOX
With Advance check box selected, the DCC byte in the receiving and sending direction of the optical interface can be set separately, including DCCr, DCCm, DCCr + DCCm, and Not use DCC. With General check box selected, the DCC byte in the receiving direction and sending direction of the optical interface will be set at the same time, including not use extended DCC (DCCr) and use extend DCC (DCCr + DCCm).
127

This chapter describes the operation method and process for performance configuration and performance query in the ZXONM E300.
Performance Configuration
Setting Digital Performance Threshold
Digital performance refers to parameters that reflect the transmission and traffic quality, such as channels, interfaces. In the operation of the equipment, the digital performance is detected by the MCU of cards, which also performs statistics on the performance values. The performance statistical period can be 15 minutes or 24 hours. In the ZXONM E300, each performance threshold has a default value, which is downloaded to the NCP card of the NE while the system downloads the database at the first time. The 15 minutes or 24 hours performance threshold of the performance items can be modified and then downloaded to the NCP with commands. [Applicable NEs] All the SDH NEs

Setting SNC Switching

In the higher order path protection ring, the protection switching can be performed based on switching conditions after setting the subnet connection (SNC) switching conditions. It is only applicable to ZXMP S380, ZXMP S390, ZXMP S330, and ZXMP S385.
Note: For other SDH NEs, the SNC switching conditions can not be set. The SNC (I) is the default switching condition for them.
The SNC switching conditions include:
177
SNC (I) (SNC protection with inherent supervision) If the receiving end detects the Service layer Signal Failure (SSF) alarm, the traffic will be forced to switch. The SSF alarm is caused by Loss of Pointer (LOP) and the Alarm Indication Signal (AIS). SNC (I) is the default switching condition of SNC. Signal Deterioration (SD) If an SD alarm is detected on the channel, a forced switching will occur. By default, the SD will not lead to channel switching. SNC (N) (SNC protection with non-intrusive supervision) If the receiving end detects a Track Signal Failure (TSF) or Track Signal Deterioration (TSD) alarm, a forced switching will occur. The TSF is caused by the SSF, UNEQ or TIM alarm, and the TSD is caused by the SD alarm. By default, the UNEQ, TIM and SD alarm will not cause path switching.
[Applicable NEs] ZXMP S330, ZXMP S325, ZXMP S360, ZXMP S380, ZXMP S390, ZXMP S385, ZXMP S200. Other SDH NEs take SNC (I) as the switching condition and the SNC Switch Config menu item is not applicable to them.
To set SNC switching conditions:

1. Select an NE in the client operation window, and then select the menu item Performance -> Performance Config -> SNC Switch Config to pop up the SNC Switch Config dialog box. 2. Select the cross-connect card, electrical interface card or Ethernet card in the card drop-down list box according to the channel type of the switching ring. To set the AU channel, select a cross-connect card. To set the TU channel, select corresponding electric interface card or Ethernet card. 3. Select the AU channel or the electrical interface in the Default list for the switching configuration. 4. Click SD>> to add the selected items to the Configed list. The switching condition for the selected channel or port is SNC (I)+SD. 5. Click SNC(N)>> to add the selected items to the Configed list. The switching condition for the selected channel or port is SNC (N). 6. Click Apply to confirm the configuration. The switching condition for ports 1 ~ 3 on the ET1 is SNC (I) and SD, as shown in Figure 103.
178
FIGURE 103 SNC SWITCH CONFIG DIALOG BOX

Chapter
Maintenance Operations
This chapter introduces maintenance operations of SDH NEs.
Note: Attention please! Any misoperation of maintenance may cause service interruption or equipment malfunction. Please Read this chapter carefully before performing maintenance operations.
Setting Loopback
Through the loopback of an optical channel or tributary, the traffic is transmitted from the transmitting port and received at the receiving port of the NE. In the case of separating the communication links, the loopback can be used to confirm the fault point of NEs and detect the working status of nodes and transmission lines in the network.
Note: The loopback operation may result in traffic interruption, therefore be careful while performing the loopback operation. The operation principle of loopback is that keep the influences on traffic as little as possible. For example, if a fault can be located through a tributary unit loopback, the AU loopback should be avoided.
Loopback type The loopback is divided into line loopback and terminal loopback depending on the flow direction of signals between transmitting and receiving ports. The loopback from an optical line card to an optical port of it is the line loopback, while the loopback in the opposite direction is the terminal loopback. The loopback from an electrical tributary card to an electrical tributary port of it is the terminal loopback, while the loopback in the opposite direction is the line loopback, as shown in Figure 108.

Protection Switching
For an NE configured with MSP ring or link protection, execute the protection switching command to force it to deliver the protection switch command. It is applicable to all SDH NEs. However the ZXMP S100 can only conduct the subnet connection protection switching. Switching commands Lock: Forbid any access to the protection section/channel. Force Switch: Unless another switch instruction of equal or higher priority is active, the system will switch to the working/protection section (or channel), no matter whether the section/channel is faulty or not. Manual Switch: Unless another switch instruction of equal or higher priority is active or the switching section/channel fails, the system will switch to the working/protection section (or channel) as required. Exercise: Only process the APS protocol without influencing the normal running of network. Only such MSP switching composed by ZXMP S390, ZXMP S380, ZXMP S385, ZXMP S330, ZXMP S325, or ZXMP S200 supports the switching exercise command. Switching command priority (higher to lower) Lock > Force Switch > Manual Switch > Exercise
[Applicable NEs] It is applicable to all the SDH NEs. Note that for ZXMP S100, only subnet connection protection switching can be performed.
To set the protection switching:

1. Select an NE in the client operation window, and select the menu item Maintenance -> Diagnosis -> Protection Switch to access the Protection Switch dialog box 2. Click the Set SMP Switch tab or the Set SNCP Switch tab according to the protection type of this NE. 3. Select the switch type, switch state, switch mode, source card, port No. and other parameters as needed. 4. Click the Add button. 5. Click the Apply button.
194
If the button on the toolbar of the client operation window is icon appears on the NE icon if the source card for depressed, the performing the switching is an optical line card. Select the NE in the client operation window and enter the Query Protection Switch State page in the Protection Switch dialog box to query the switching command, which should be the same as the one set before.
APS Operation
The APS ID is the unique ID of an NE in the MSP ring network. Table 70 lists the meaning of APS operations supported by the ZXONM E300.
T A B L E 7 0 M E A N I N G S O F AP S P A R A M E T E R S
Parameter APS start
Meaning In the case that the APS protocol is working properly, the MP protection ring is working in APS state. When the MSP group is configured, the APS should be started. The APS protocol stops working and keeps the data before stopping. For instance, if MSP switching happens at a site, the original MSP switching operation will be kept after the APS stops, and the new data will not be processed. The APS data is cleared completely and the NE data is initialized. After reset, the working status of system recovers. The system waits for new data, and performs automatic protection switching.
APS stop
APS reset
Refer to the ASP operation described in the section of Configuration of Two-fiber Bidirectional MSP in Chapter 1 for the detailed information about the operations of querying and configuring the APS.
Note: The APS operation is only applicable to the MSP ring and the APS command set on each NE in a protection group must be identical. After the APS is reset successfully, the APS ID should be restarted.
195
Resetting Cards
The resetting of chips or application programs of cards is divided into the hardware reset and software reset. It is applicable to online NEs in normal communication with the EMS. Hardware reset: resets all chips in a card. Software reset: resets application programs in a card. For ZXMP S330, ZXMP S380, ZXMP S390 and ZXMP S385, the software reset is classified into CPU level and IC level reset. But the NCP card of ZXMP S320 does not support software reset.
