2 1686WM NETWORK EQUIPMENT

2.1 Overview
The line system 1686WM Wavelength Division Multiplexer (also called 1686WM) Network Element (NE)
is associated to pointtopoint transmission systems.
It provides a high transmission capacity on a single fiber, by multiplexing up to sixteen STM16 optical
channels, each one being associated to a distinct wavelength.
The STM16 signals may come from line systems NEs (such as 1664SL) or from AddDrop Multiplexer
NEs (such as 16xx SM). In addition of the STM16 (SDH) signal, the 1686WM allows asynchronous
inputs.
Three types of 1686WM Network Element are defined:
the 1686WM Line Terminal (LT),
the 1686WM Line Repeater (LR).
the 1686WM Add and Drop MultiplexerRepeater (OR) or OADM repeater.

Each optical input tributary is associated to a channel number as given below:
Long Band (LB) MUXDEMUX
channel:23 (192,3 THz), channel:25 (192,5 THz), channel:27 (192,7 THz), channel:29 (192,9
THz), channel:31 (193,1 THz), channel:33 (193,3 THz), channel:35 (193,5 THz), channel:37
(193,7 THz).
Short Band (SB)
(195,7 THz).

2.6.2 Description


The Line Repeater NE is mainly composed of two in line amplifiers which amplify the 40 Gbit/s aggregates.
The BIDIR boards are in charge of extracting / inserting the supervision channel, inserting the wavelengths
coming from the transmitting OLA and extracting the wavelengths to feed the opposite OLA.
The subrack has three possible configurations:
2 OLA
2 OLA and BIDIR1/BIDIR2 configuration 1
2 OLA and BIDIR2/BIDIR1 configuration 2

Switching for a configuration to another will destroy the boards set in the main subrack and the related
one(s) in the WLA subrack(s). Therefore, a configuration selection is usually performed only upon NE
creation.
The following Set New configuration window is displayed:

This feature is similar to the change board type feature but concerns subracks in an equipment rack view.
It allows to configure subracks according to a list of allowed subracks.
The subracks can be changed or removed using the menu options of the equipment rack view.
The remove and set subrack is only allowed if the NE management states are the followings:
Assignment: Any state Supervision: Supervised/ Declared

Local access: Any
Operational: Any
Alignment: Aligned/ misaligned/ in configuration
3.2.1 Removing a subrack

wavelengths extracted from the Aggregate signal.
One switch is associated to each of the four wavelengths. The switch can have two states:
Drop/Insert,
PassThrough.
10 combinations of 4 wavelengths are available by means of 10 different board types.

PassThrough: the signal on the channel is just amplified,

Drop/Insert: the wavelength corresponding to the sink optical channel is extracted from the inbound
aggregate signal and dropped into the source tributary port. The sink tributary port corresponding
to that channel is inserted in the source optical channel at the transmit side to complete the outbound
aggregate signal.

3.5 Add and Drop management
3.6 ALS management

In a hardware point of view, the ALS function is supported by:
the EXP and OBA boards for the Line Terminal equipment,
the OADM and OLA boards for the OAM Repeater equipment.
From the OS point of view, the ALS function is always implemented on these boards.
If the ALS function is not implemented on one of these boards (this operation is possible using a Craft
Terminal), the Alignment State, following an upload operation, will be misaligned. So a download operation
has then to be performed to align the OS and NE MIBs.

4.1 1686LT NE restrictions
No information is supplied from the NE in order to indicate the rack/subrack positions. This data has to
be internally created and persisted from the OS.
After the NE creation and before uploading the configuration, the operator has to assign the shelves in
their wanted relevant subracks. Only Master subrack is present at the first position of the first rack at the
creation. The default positions for Release 3.1 are as below:
Rack #1 (the left one):
subrack 1: Master,
subrack 2: TWLA 1,
subrack 3: RWLA 1.
Rack #2 (the right one):

6 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question: The OS refused to upload the MIB of a NE. How can I retrieve the refusal grounds?
Answer: In Diagnosis menu, click on View option and then on Upload Failure. You can displayed a
upload failure diagnosis file (xxx.ufd). This file gives a diagnosis in plain english of the 1st
encountered error.
Question:What are the difference between the Simple Amplifier configuration and the MUXDEMUX
configuration?
Answer: With the Simple Amplifier configuration, there are only a tributary sink port and a tributary
source port and the EXP board. There is no OMDX board.
With the MUXDEMUX configuration, at least one OMDX board is mandatory (8 channels in 3.1
release).
Question: What are the differences with respect to the management between a 1686WM LT and a
1686WM OR in 3.1 release?
Answer:
With 1686LT NE: the subracks are specialized either for the TWLA or for the RWLA.
With 1686OR NE: any type of TWLA or RWLA is allowed in the same subrack.
Question: What are the differences with respect to the management of a 1686WM LT between the 3.1
and the 3.2 release?
Answer:
With 1686LT R3.1 NE: the subracks are specialized either for the TWLA or for the RWLA.
With 1686LT R3.2 NE: any type of TWLA or RWLA is allowed in the same subrack.
Question: How to change the Optical Switch state?
Answer: Select the OADM board in the subrack view with the chosen direction and then the Optical
switch option (see paragraph 3.5.)
Question: After setting TWLA/RWLA, OGPI ports do not appear anymore in the OMDX in the OADM board
view?
Answer: The OGPI ports are supported by the RWLA and TWLA, to see them display the RWLA or
TWLA subrack views.
Question: Some alarms do not raise on OGPI sink port. What is wrong?
Answer: First, make sure that the target ports are equipped, if the NE is a Line Terminal, alarm
handling is automatically disabled on unequipped ports.
Then, you shall check that the alarms are notified to the CT. If the CT does not receive the alarms,
refer to the NE document for further troubleshooting information.

Question: Am I always notified of the problem that may affect the Transmission object which is currently
displayed?
Answer: Yes, either by the Transmission alarm or by an URU synthesis on the TP. There is one minor
restriction: if a multiplexing board (including OADM) issues on equipment alarm, no transmission
alarm is generated for the OGPI objects carried by that board. Note the OTS part(s) is/are affected
thanks to the usual URU mechanism..

2 OVERVIEW
The line system 1686WM Wavelength Division Multiplexer (also called 1686WM) Network Element (NE)
is associated to pointtopoint transmission systems.
It provides a high transmission capacity on a single fiber, by multiplexing up to sixteen STM16 optical
channels, each one is associated to a distinct wavelength.
The STM16 signals may come from line systems NEs (such as 1664SL) or from AddDrop Multiplexer
NEs (such as 16xx SM).
Two types of 1686WM Network Element are defined:
the 1686WM Line Terminal (LT),

the 1686WM Line Repeater (LR).
2.1 Interoffice line system configurations

3 configurations of interoffice line systems are possible:
without Line Repeater NEs,

with Line Repeater NE(s),
with Line Terminals structured as AddDrop Multiplexer(s).

2.2.1 General
The Line Terminal NE is mainly composed of (see Figure 4. ):
two multiplexers: each multiplexer can process up to 8 STM16 signals. The use of the two multiplexers generates a 40 Gbit/s aggregate signal (composed of 16 STM16 tributary signals).
two demultiplexers: each demultiplexer can process up to 8 STM16 signals. The use of the two demultiplexers generates 16 STM16 tributary signals (from a 40 Gbit/s aggregate signal).

4.2 Optical TP Configuration

4.2.1 Visualization
This feature, only available for the Terminal equipments, allows the operator to have the channel number
and the channel frequency (in THz) of any of the optical source or sink ports.
Each optical input tributary is associated to a channel number as given below:
Long Band (for Master MUX)
(193,7 THz).
Short Band (for Expansion MUX)
(195,7 THz).
N.B.
The number of input tributaries depends on the equipment configuration.

The master subrack launches the instanciation of 8 OptTribSinkStm16 ports.
The expansion subrack launches the instanciation of 8 other OptTribSinkStm16 ports (16 in total).
The channel number is equal to the two last digits of the frequency.
Each optical tributary output is associated to a channel number as given below:
Long Band (for Master DEMUX):
(193,7 THz).
Short Band (for Expansion DEMUX):
(195,7 THz).
N.B.
The number of output tributaries depends on the equipment configuration.

The master subrack launches the instanciation of 8 OptTribSourceStm16 ports.
The expansion subrack launches the instanciation of 8 other OptTribSourceStm16 ports (16 in
total).
The channel number is equal to the two last digits of the frequency.

4.3 WDM Aggregate signals

5 RESTRICTIONS
5.1 Line Terminal NE Release 2.1 / 2.1d Restrictions
5.1.1 Equipment configuration
No information is supplied from the NE in order to indicate the racks/subracks positions. This data has to
be internally created and persisted from the OS.
After the NE creation and before uploading the configuration, the operator has to assign the shelves in
their wanted relevant subracks. Only Master subrack is present at the first position of the first rack. Else
the default positions are as below:
Main rack, subrack #1 : Master shelf.

Main rack, subrack #2 : Expansion shelf.
Main rack, subrack #3 : first Slave Wavelength adapter shelf.
First Expansion rack, subrack #1 : second Slave Wavelength adapter shelf.
First Expansion rack, subrack #2 : first Reception Slave Wavelength adapter shelf.
First Expansion rack, subrack #3 : second Reception Slave Wavelength adapter shelf.
5.1.2 External points configuration

The output House Keeping can be set ON/OFF. Open state corresponds to OFF.
5.1.3 ALS Management
Two types of ALS management are available:
Individual ALS function: each WLA board of the WLA subracks supports its own ALS function. A loss
of signal at the input of a WLA board induces a cut of signal at the board output.
Global ALS function: the Booster board of the Master subrack supports the ALS function. A loss of
signal at the input of a Booster board induces a cut of signal at the board output.
From the OS point of view, the ALS function is always implemented on these boards.
If the ALS function is not implemented on one of these boards (this operation is possible using a Craft Terminal), the Alignment State, following an upload operation, will be misaligned. So a download operation
has then to be performed to align the OS and NE MIBs.
5.1.4 Protection management

6 ALARM MAPPING
This section is aimed at presenting the mapping of the NECTAS and the 1353SH3.1 alarm type. For each
type of alarm defined at the NECTAS interface, the corresponding SH probable cause is given.
The alarms appear on the bottom of the board view. There are two alarm lines.
The first alarm line concerns the transmission alarms (i.e. alarms implied from the input/output ends of the
NE. These alarms are generaly displayed at the port level (from the transmission/reception view) too.
The second alarm line is for the internal board alarms.
For the repeaters the transmission alarms are displayed only at the port level because the related board
is implicited.
The mapping list of this section concerns the 1686WM NE.

2 SUBMARINE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM WITH REPEATERS

The WDM Submarine Network Elements (NEs) are used in the Submarine Transmission System (STS),
which adapts terrestrial signals for transmission over submarine cables.
The STS provides a high transmission capacity through optical fibers by multiplexing several STM16
optical channels.
2.1 Overview
A Submarine Transmission System is composed of the following elements (see Figure 1. ):
Several Landing Stations, one for each terrestrialsubmarine interface. They process not only the
terrestrial to/from submarine conversion, but they also provide remote management and power
facilities for undersea equipments. They are composed of:
One or several Submarine Line Terminal Equipments (SLTE): each SLTE actually adapts and
multiplexes SDH signals for submarine optical transmission. Depending on the requirements,
a single station can include several SLTEs.
Power Feeding Equipment (PFE): used to remotely energize the submarine line cable.
A Submarine Line Cable which supports the physical transmission of the signal from one landing
station to another. It can provide long distance services and addanddrop facilities. According to
the topology, it can be composed of the following Line Equipments:
Undersea Repeaters (URs) (also called Repeaters): to amplify the SLTE line signals. A repeater
is composed of optical amplifiers.
Branching Units (BUs): placed at junction points of a branched cable and allow to get some
routing flexibility in the traffic management.

2.2.3 SubSystem definitions

A line Equipment (Repeater or BU) is composed of SubSystems, mainly composed of Optical Amplifiers
(OA).
a)
Repeater
A Repeater contains up to four repeater subsystems, one for each fibre pair. A Repeater SubSystem
is made of two Optical Amplifiers (OA) which provide amplification for line signal. The two directions of a
repeater are referred to as direction X and direction Y.
An example of Repeater structure is given in Figure 3.

Branching Unit
A BU allows individual or group of channels at different wavelengths to be routed to different locations in

the Network. BU contains up to four BU subsystems out of four trunk fibre pairs.
A BU subsystem is composed of 0 to 2 BU module(s). This number depends on the BU subsystem type.
For example, a Passthrough BU subsystem or a FibreRouting BU subsystem doesnt contain any
BU module.
A BU module is composed of 1 or 2 OA(s). This number depends on the BU type. For the
Add_Drop_Module_X (resp. Add_Drop_Module_Y) BU, the Add OA of the module Y (resp. X) doesnt
exist.
An example of Branching Unit structure is given in Figure 4.

3 POWER FEEDING EQUIPMENT

The Power Feeding Equipment (PFE) is used to energize the Repeaters and Branching Units from the
landing station. An electric current is sent along the cable through a copper sheaf that surrounds the optical
fibres. The circuit is closed through the earth: this is normally system earth, i.e. the sea.
The PFEs managed by the 1353SH are:
the ASN PFE has gone through several releases. The version described below is Release 3.1.
the SAFT PFE. This was installed for GIGA 5 systems, but these can be upgraded to WDM.
the NEC PFE.
the Fujitsu PFE.

3.1 Overview
Power Generation,
Power Regulation and Ramp Control,
Power Monitoring and Protection,
Power Load,
Switching,
Safety Functions.
a)
Power Generation
A power generator converts a DC power supply into a regulated current using pulse width modulation,
under the control of the Power Regulation function. This function is performed by generators (SAFT) or
converters (ASN, NEC, Fujitsu).
Some portions of line are fed from both ends. If the PFE at one end fails, the other is capable of taking
up the whole load. The normal scheme is to doubly feed the trunk of the cable while singly feeding the
spurs, if any.
b)
Power Regulation and Ramp Control
It consists in controlling generator output through pulse width modulation:
The Power Regulation maintains a requested level of voltage (in voltage regulation mode) or current
(in current regulation mode). These levels are called Reference Values.
An additional function connected to Power Regulation is Low Frequency Modulation, also known as
Electroding. This makes the cable emit low frequency radio waves, which are useful for locating it
on the sea bed.
As smooth transitions are desirable, Ramp Control commands are used to vary the output level at
a predetermined rate, e.g. to pass from the OFF state to the reference value in a given time interval.
A ramping state is associated with this process, so that the operator can tell which is the current
ramp phase.
Power Regulation and Ramp Control are implemented differently according to the equipments:
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
ED
In the SAFT PFE, each Generator is equipped with its own regulation and can be independently
controlled (by the local operator). In addition, PFE output can be regulated as a whole by a
Centralized Control subrack.
The ASN PFE is organized in one or two Power Units (PUs). A Power Unit is a set of power converters
with associated control and switching equipment, which are ramped up or down collectively.
The NEC PFE has the same basic structure as the ASN PFE: there are two sets of converters, each
with its own regulation equipment (though there is some overlap in the case of the Low Voltage
Configuration). NEC refers to these two sets as Regular PFE and the Standby PFE.
The Fujitsu PFE is organized in one or two Power Units (PUs). A Power Unit is a set of power
converters with associated control and switching equipment, which are ramped up or down
collectively.

The PFE features are the following:

c)
Power Monitoring and protection
It consists in measuring output characteristics and comparing them with thresholds. If a dangerous
threshold is crossed an emergency shutdown is performed directly by the monitoring equipment.
N.B.
d)
It is independent from general monitoring and control functions (NE Management, e.g. alarm
surveillance), which are performed by other PFE components and which work in the same way
as in other NEs.
Power Load
The Power Load designates the outlet of generated energy. This can be one of the following:
Cable Head: the coupling between the PFE and the submarine cable,
Test Load or Dummy Load: a variable resistance used for calibration,
Earth or short circuit: current is fed to earth (through a resistance),
Open Circuit: circuit is interrupted, current cannot pass. (Differs from the above since nothing is
connected there is no actual load).
e)
Switching
Switches are used to direct the generated power to one load or another: as well as the submarine line,
it is usually possible to route generator output onto a dummy load (for calibration), or to earth.
Switching is of various kinds:
Power Routing consists in connecting the generators/converters with the power loads in different
configurations,
Cable Head Switching controls the connection between the submarine cable and the PFE as a whole,
e.g. the cable head may be shortcircuited (to earth).
Measurement Switching determines the position of measurement equipment in the electrical circuit.
Polarity Switching is not always required it consists in swapping positive and negative terminals,
thus inverting the voltage.
Switching is organized differently according to PFE versions.

f)
Safety Functions
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10
In order to prevent dangerous operations such as opening doors or turning switches of equipment that
supplies power, various interlock systems are added.

3.2 PFEs physical description
3.2.2 ASN PFE

As the possible configurations of the ASN PFE are multiple, here are the main parameters:
the number of converters (Converter Shelf) for each PU,

the presence or absence of the Dummy Load option.
The architecture of the ASN PFE is based on:
one or two PUs (can work independently),

an optional CTC,
an optional DLC (used for calibration).
There are six different types of racks within an ASN PFE:
Control Cubicle (CC1 and CC2),

Power Control Cubicle (PCC1 and PCC2),
Cable Terminating Cubicle (CTC),
Dummy Load Cubicle (DLC),
Cable Terminating and Dummy Load Cubicle (CTDLC),
Bottom Entry Cubicle (BEC).
The following figure gives the six types of rack and their subracks compositions.

3.2.4 NEC PFE
Rack Level.
Unit (Subrack) Level. NEC practice allows two units to occupy two halves of a single vertical shelf
level, or one unit to occupy several shelf levels.
Package Level, i.e. board level. This level is not present in all units.
NEC PFE equipment configuration depends on the following parameters (obtained from the PFE):
Presence of Racks;
Presence of Subracks.
The NEC PFE exists in two configurations: High Voltage (or standard) and Low Voltage.
The difference between Low Voltage and High Voltage configuration consists in the presence or not of
different types of racks.
a)
Low Voltage Configuration Type
There are two different types of racks within a Low Voltage NEC PFE :

The operator can display the PFE configuration: the mechanical arrangement and the options selected
at the installation time. The Equipment view reflects the real location of the PFE shelves.
The operator cannot change the mechanical layout of the PFE. The mechanical layout information is
uploaded from the NE.
Parameters can be modified from the OS and downloaded into the NE.
When a configuration change is detected by the OS:
