2 Protective Measures
This Operating Manual, OMN:LCT describes the user interface of application software
SMA1K and the operating functions using the LCT or NCT (see Chapter 3). The
OMN:LCT contains no instructions about working on hardware in the rack, in Synchro-
nous Multiplexers SMA1K or on the modules. The hardware functions include disman-
tling or mounting subracks in the rack, opening the subrack covers, removing or
attaching fiber optic connectors, making adjustments using jumpers or DIP-FIX switches
on the modules etc.
Maintenance Manual MMN and the Installation and Test Manual ITMN explain how to
carry out all the required hardware functions.
Note the safety instructions and information given in Maintenance Manual MMN
! and in Installation and Test Manual ITMN when undertaking any work on the hard-
ware of Synchronous Multiplexers SMA1K (e.g. protection against excessive contact
voltages, protection against escaping laser light, identification of modules, precautions
for components and modules against electrostatic discharge etc.)
Very important:
! Only plug in the power supply if the fuses have been switched off!
Only switch the power supply on and off via the circuit breakers!
Disregarding these instructions can cause adjacent systems to crash!
☞ Forced or automatic laser shutdown for protection against escaping laser light
is explained in Chapter 19.

3 Requirements for Operation

This Operating Manual OMN:LCT takes as its basis a Synchronous Multiplexer SMA1K
operating normally with a connected craft terminal NCT or LCT.
Help Operating Manual OMN:LCT is supplemented by the on-line help of the applica-
tions software.
☞ NCT or LCT areselected via the gateway software NE-UniGATE. Corre-

sponding information is supplied by the Operating Manual OMN:NE-UniGATE
which you will find together with this description.
Those menus and windows of the user interface which are required to install the
synchronous multiplexer (together with the Installation and Test Manual ITMN) and for
maintenance tasks (together with the Maintenance Manual MMN) are mentioned in this
Operating Manual OMN:LCT. However, the OMN:LCT contains no specific instructions
for carrying out installation or maintenance functions.
3.1 Hardware Requirements
3.1.1 Synchronous Multiplexer SMA1K

Requirements
– The Synchronous Multiplexer SMA1K is to be mounted (e.g. in a rack) and equipped
with all the required modules.
– The required interface cables are to be connected:
- Power supply
- User data (line and tributary)
- Craft terminal NCT or LCT (only required for configuration settings,
alarm display etc., see below)
- Possibly LZE and / or ZBBeo
– Installation and Test Manual ITMN has been used for sucessful commissioning of
the synchronous multiplexer.
If not all the required conditions are met, please note the corresponding instructions in
the Installation and Test Manual ITMN.
An NCT or LCT craft terminal is only required for installation, configuration changes,
i maintenance of the synchronous multiplexer and for alarm monitoring and/or quality
monitoring. For ongoing user data transmission in the synchronous multiplexer, the NCT
or the LCT is not absolutely necessary and can be removed.

Operation OMN:LCT
SMA1K S3.1
3.1.2 Craft Terminal NCT or LCT

Requirements
– Craft terminal NCT (desktop PC)respectively craft terminal LCT (laptop)are
connected to the synchronous multiplexer (network element) via an Ethernet inter-
face respectively a V.24 interface.
– Craft terminal NCT or LCT is connected to a power supply (independent from the
synchronous multiplexer).
If these connections do not exist, please note of the relevant instructions in the Installa-
tion and Test Manual ITMN.
In principle, both a laptop and a desktop PC − depending on the software used − can be
i used as NCT or LCT. In general, for reasons of suitability, the above-mentioned alloca-
tion in 3.1.1, “Requirements” is selected. For operation as NCT, the craft terminal must
be equipped with an Ethernet card independent of whether it is a laptop or desktop PC
model.
☞ The ordering designations can be found in the chapter “Product overview” of

Technical Description TED.
☞ Program start after switching on the craft terminal is described in 5.2.

3.2 Software Requirements
3.2.1 Synchronous Multiplexer SMA1K

The software for the peripheral control units (PCUs) and system control unit SCU is inte-
grated into the relevant modules. The program start and startup takes place automati-
cally after the synchronous multiplexer has been connected.
The existing software state can be updated by File Transfer (software download).
☞ Information about file transfer can be found in the Maintenance Manual MMN.
3.2.2 Craft Terminal NCT or LCT
The software of craft terminal NCT or LCT consists of the following:
– Operating system MS Windows NT 4.0
– Driver software for QB3 interface (Ethernet)
– Installation software for the 3COM card (only for NCT)
– Gateway software NE-UniGATE

OMN:LCT Operation
SMA1K S3.1
If not all the required software components have been installed in the craft terminal,
please note of the corresponding instructions in Installation and Test Manual ITMN and
the instructions of the craft terminal manufacturer.
☞ Starting the program after switching on the synchronous multiplexer (not initial
installation) is described in 5.1 and 5.2.
Off-Line Operation
Communication between craft terminal NCT or LCT and synchronous multiplexer
requires the successful installation of the gateway software NE-UniGATE and the appli-
cation software SMA1K.
However, to familiarize yourself with the user interface, it is also possible to operate the
application software in the off-line mode,
– without the installed gateway software NE-UniGATE and
– without the existing multiplexer SMA1K.

☞ The description of the functions of the application software SMA1K is found in

Chapter 6.
☞ Handling the engineering order wire is explained in Chapter 20.

4.1 LCT and NCT Craft Terminals
Network elements can be operated and monitored both via an LCT or NCT craft terminal
and via a network management system.
The LCT is used preferably for mobile operation and the NCT for stationary operation.
In principle, the same hardware can be used for both terminals, but because of the
different operation we, however, recommend a notebook for the LCT and a desktop PC
for the NCT. Two software types are available which match the hardware types, namely
LCT software and NCT software, in which case the latter includes the LCT software
package. Therefore, craft terminals with the installed NCT software can be operated in
the LCT or NCT mode.
The decision between the LCT mode and the NCT mode is made on installation of the
relevant variants of the gateway software NE-UniGATE or during their startup.
☞ The user interface of the gateway software NE-UniGATE is described in a sepa-

rate Operating Manual OMN:NE-UniGATE which comes with this document.
☞ Lists of hardware and software requirements for the LCT or NCT craft terminals
can be found in 3.1.2 and 3.2.2.
Possible interface connections to the LCT and the NCT are listed in Tab. 4.1.

7.2 Type of Display of the Module Symbols
7.2.1 Correct Equipping/Incorrect Equipping of the Multiplexer Subrack

The display of modules in the window (see Fig. 7.1 and Fig. 7.2) shows the equipping
of the individual slots in the multiplexer subrack.
Because the actual equipping (in the case of errors) need not necessarily be in accor-
dance with the required equipping, the slots of the multiplexer subrack can have different
equipping states.
If the actual equipping (physical) is in accordance with the required equipping (logical),
the slot is in the “equipped correctly” state. Otherwise it is in the “equipped incorrectly”
state. In the case of incorrect equipping, the module button symbol is crossed
(see Fig. 7.3).
Module designations specified in the slot menus are in accordance with the possible
equipping.
⇒ The cause of incorrect equipping can be determined by means of the module-

specific <Card State...> menu item (see Tab. 6.19).
⇒ To call up the symbol-specific, context-sensitive menus of the module symbols,

please take note of the steps carried out in 6.2.1.

9 SISA Concept for Network Elements

The SISA concept displays network elements in a Function and Hardware-oriented
View. The control and monitoring system used by Synchronous Multiplexer SMA1K is
based on the extended SISA model.
9.1 Function View

The Function View offers a transmission block diagram of the network element with
hardware-independent, standardized functional units. The transmission functions of the
equipment are then displayed with the current status.
Operating possibilities in the Function View (examples):
– Determine alarm status
– Change switching elements
– Set multiplex structure
– Determine performance values
– Overhead functions
Several of the same functional units can be combined into one functional group (marked
with “+” after the designation).
The functional units of the network element either correspond to general, overlapping
functions (Tab. 9.1) or they are allocated directly to a transmission function (Tab. 9.2).
The Function View shows only the functional units and functional groups which corre-
spond to actual equipping. The alarm status of the network is displayed on the basis of
the color of the symbols of the functional groups and functional units.

Within the Function View, functional units and termination points can be addressed.
A functional unit is addressed by the name and a number. If there are e.g. 21 2-Mbit/s
ports, the allocated functional units can be selected by the designation LOI2M No. 1 up
to LOI2M No. 21.
9.2 Hardware-oriented View

The hardware-oriented view shows the equipment in its physical structure, i.e. an image
of the multiplexer subrack of a network element.
Operating possibilities in the Hardware-oriented View (examples):
– Change subrack equipping
– Update software
– Conference telephone number (if there is FU OHF)

9.3 Connection between the Function and Hardware-oriented

View
The function view and the Hardware-oriented view are linked with one another. One or
several functional units are allocated to every module and vice versa one or several
modules to every functional unit. This link is designated as reference and can be deter-
mined with the following reference list.
– The Reference list of the functional units displays on which module or modules
the function has been implemented.
– The Reference list of the modules displays which functional unit or functional units
display the transmission function (see 8).

10 Multiplex Structure
10.1 Short Description

The multiplex structure is set via the function group HOA. In SMA1K, the function group
HOA represents mapping the lower order virtual container VC-3 and VC-12 in the higher
order virtual container VC-4 for the transmission of STM-1 signals. Therefore, a VC-4
basically consists of 3 TUG-3s which can contain various low-order virtual containers
(see Fig. 6.29 to Fig. 6.32).
Fig. 10.1 gives a schematic representation of the multiplex structure.
The VC-2 level (1 VC-2 can contain up to 3 VC-12s) has not been implemented in the
i Synchronous Multiplexers SMA1K.
VC-4 level VC4TTP(1)
TUG-3(1) TUG-3(2) TUG-3(3)
VC-3 level TU3CTP(1)
TU3CTP(3)
TUG-2(2,1) TUG-2(2,2) TUG-2(2,7)
VC-2 level TU2CTP(2,1) TU2CTP(2,7)

VC-12 level TU12CTP(2,2,1) TU12CTP(2,2,2) TU12CTP(2,2,3)
The designations (i), (i,j) and (i,j,k) give the numbering of the signal paths in the cor-
responding VC levels:
i = Number of the signal path in the VC-3 level (1 to 3)
j = Number of the signal path in the VC-2 level (1 to 7); not in SMA1K
k = Number of the signal path in the VC-12 level (1 to 3)

11 Cross Connections
Termination points (TP) are used for cross connections. Every termination point (TP) is
characterized by the three values
– Name of the function units,
– Number of the function units and
– TP index.
11.1 Types of Cross Connections

There are Trail Termination Points (TTP) and Connection Termination Points
(CTP).
The cross connections can have the following characteristics:
– Unidirectional (Unprotected, Protected/Head End, Protected/Tail End)
– Bidirectional (Unprotected, Protected)
– Loopback (Protected)
A cross connection can be:
– A termination point (“Loopback”) or
– Two termination points (normal case) or
– Three termination points (“Protected”)
11.2 Creating Cross Connections

Starting from the Function View of the main window (see Fig. 6.1), the multiplex struc-
ture is requested and configured via the configuration window of the functional units
HOA (see 6.3.8) and cross connections are generated and configured via the configu-
ration windows of the functional units LPX VC12 and LPX VC3 (see 6.3.7).
These function units correspond with the switching units for the virtual containers VC-12,
VC-3 and VC-4.
The configuration is the same for different functional units and switching levels.
The VC-2 level (1 VC-2 can contain up to 3 VC-12s) has not been implemented in the
i Synchronous Multiplexers SMA1K.
☞ Detailed information about module equipping of the multiplexer subrack and the
corresponding screen display can be found in Chapter 7.
☞ The table overviews with the function description of the function units LPX VC3
or LPX VC12 and HOA can be found in 6.3.7 and 6.3.8.

13.1 Alarm Display
13.1.1 Display of the Alarm State
13.1.1.1 Collective Display

– A red FU or FG symbols signals the alarm state i.e. at least one alarm exists in an
FU. The FG symbol which contains the alarm signaling FU, is also highlighted red.
– The alarm display can be modified by “Alarm Flash” in the Option Settings window:
Flashing red symbol when setting “Alarm Flash”,
Blue border symbol for “Alarm Flash” not set (example see Fig. 7.4).
– The color “wheat” signals the “No Alarm” state.
The same applies to module symbols in the Module View.
Alarm severities are not distinguished. A functional unit (FU) or functional group (FG)
which does not exist or has not been activated, displays no alarms.
The colors cannot be configured.
13.1.1.2 Alarm List

The individual alarms and alarm suppressions can be displayed via the specific alarm
list. Alarm lists can be called up for the entire NE, specifically for every FU of the Func-
tion View (with the exception of MCF+, OHF and LPX VC2/VC12) and specifically for
every module of the Module View (see Fig. 6.1, Fig. 7.1 and Fig. 7.2).
⇒ The alarm list for the entire NE can be requested via the menu bar of the main
window with <Fault> <Alarm List...> (see Fig. 13.1); the “Current” or “History”
file cards can be selected depending on the request.

Spontaneous messages are highlighted by a border around the alarm text. The border
i is removed once the user has acknowledged the alarm.
☞ An overview on raised alarms and the severities can be found in the Installation
and Test Manual ITMN.
13.1.2 Display of Alarm State Changes

If an alarm is received for an FU, this FU symbol flashes or, for an FU of an FG, the
relevant FG symbol flashes if “Alarm Flash” has been activated in the “Option Settings”
window (see Fig. 6.4).
Additional notes:
– The display of an alarm state change by flashing can be disabled for all symbols
(FUs/FGs/Module).
– Changing from the “No Alarm” state to the “Alarm” state, is displayed by means of
rhythmic changes between the background color and the red alarm color.
– After the “Alarm” state has been acknowledged, the symbol appears in red which is
the alarm color.

13.3 Automatic Alarm Canceling for Configuration Changes

The configuration changes mentioned below should be carried out only when the spon-
i taneous message of the previous configuration has arrived in the craft terminal.
The collective alarm display of FU or module symbols must be updated separately in

each case (... <Fault> <Alarm request>).
13.3.1 Alarm Canceling when Changing the Module Equipping

If a module is removed by configuration, its alarms and the alarms of the relevant FUs
in the network element are canceled. No spontaneous alarm message is then sent.
The craft terminal no longer shows these alarms and they are canceled in the data
memory of the application software. Open alarm windows are closed automatically. The
alarm states can no longer be requested because the corresponding FU symbols can
no longer be selected. On activating FUs by adding a new module, their alarm informa-
tion is requested and displayed automatically on the screen.
13.3.2 Alarm Canceling when a Module Fails

Failure of a module is treated in the same way as removal by configuration (see 13.3.1).
13.3.3 Alarm Canceling when Changing the Connection

Termination Points (CTPs)
The craft terminal cancels alarms from connection termination points (CTPs) in the data
memory of the application software, which no longer exist after a reconfiguration of the
multiplex structure and are no longer displayed on the screen.
Consider the following:
– If a HOA-CTP is not configured in the multiplex structure all alarms will be canceled.
– If a HOA-CTP is configured in the multiplex structure all alarm suppressions will be
set, but not shown in the collective display.
– If a new HOA-CTP is configured in the multiplex structure alarm suppressions will
be set on TU-AIS, LO-FERF aund SSF. All the other alarm suppressions will be can-
celed.
i Alarms are canceled only if there is a spontaneous alarm (SPO).

13.3.4 Alarm Canceling when Changing the Timing Allocation

If another SDH port (T1), another PDH port (T2) or another T3in input port is selected to
derive the control timing for T0 and T4, the alarms T1, T2 and T3in are canceled in the
network element without sending a spontaneous message. These alarms are also can-
celed in the craft terminal and updated with the corresponding alarm information of the
newly selected port (“SET2 Alarms” window can be reached via the FU symbol “SET2”,
<Fault> <Alarm List...>).
The following alarms are concerned in particular:
T1: TS-T1#1, TS-T1#2
T2: TS-T2#1, TS-T2#2
T3: TS-T3
13.3.5 Alarm Canceling when Changing the Cross Connections

If an AU4CTPP is connected to a VC31/12TTP of an HOA by means of a cross connec-
tion, monitoring is transferred by the AU4CTP to the VC3/12TTP. The alarms of the
AU4CTP (with exception of auLOP and auAIS) are canceled in the network element
without sending a spontaneous message. In the craft terminal, these alarms are also
canceled in the data memory of the application software and displayed as “No Alarm”.
13.3.6 Alarm Canceling when Disabling “Path Trace Processing”

If “Path Trace Processing” has been disabled for the TTPs, the MIS-PT alarm (Mismatch
Path trace) is canceled in the network element without sending a spontaneous messa-
ge. In the craft terminal, this alarm is also canceled in the data memory of the application
software and displayed as “No Alarm”.
This concerns the following in particular:
LOI2M: Configuration in VC12TTP Path Trace, Processing disabled
LOI34M: Configuration in VC3TTP Path Trace, Processing disabled
HOI140M: Configuration in VC4TTP Path Trace, Processing disabled
13.3.7 Alarm Canceling when Disabling the Protection

If a line protection is disabled, the corresponding alarms (FOP) in the network element
are canceled without sending a spontaneous message. In the craft terminal, these
alarms are also canceled in the data memory of the application software and displayed
as “No Alarm”.
13.3.8 Alarm Canceling when Disabling CRC4 Monitoring

If CRC4 monitoring and the CRC4 generator are disabled in the configuration window
of an FU LOI2M (can be reached via <Subview...> of FG LOI2M+ and the <Configura-
tion...> menu item) in the “D1CTP” field for waiting alarms (“2 Mbit/s signal mode” ->
“Transparent” or no cross in the “Enable CRC4 processing” checkbox), the network
element cancels the NCM alarm without a spontaneous message. In the craft terminal,
this alarm is also canceled in the data memory of the application software and displayed
as “No Alarm”.

pulse) from the counting module to the module PCUD-S. In the case of 24 hour test
intervals, the PCUD-S generates the 24 h performance data from the 15 min perfor-
mance data by summation.
Before starting every performance counter, all the data are canceled in the test-values
memory for the relevant performance test point.
The SCU stores the 100 most recent 15-min data records and the 30 most recent 24 h
data records for each test point; the amount cannot be changed.

16.3 TCN Alarm Signal

If a performance test point has been enabled (... <Performance> <Configuration of
Performance Counter ...> “Settings/State”: <enabled>, example see Fig. 16.1), the
network element signals a spontaneous message (TCN alarm) once the set perfor-
mance threshold has been exceeded. Once the lower 15 min threshold is below the
required minimum, the TCN alarm is cleared. For the 24 h values there is no corre-
sponding spontaneous message of the network element; 24 h TCN alarms which have
been set are canceled by the craft terminal at 00:00.
⇒ TCN alarm signals for a specific counter can be enabled and disabled by
clicking with the right mouse button on the relevant field in the “... Performance
Thresholds” window and on the corresponding menu item in the displayed
popup menu.
☞ Explanations about the alarm display and alarm processing can be found in

19 Laser Shutdown
The laser equipment corresponds with the safety stage class 1.
19.1 Automatic Laser Shutdown

Automatic laser shutdown protects against accidents in the case of a connection inter-
! ruption (laser may cause damage to the eyes!).
All optical interfaces on the transmit side have an automatic laser shutdown ALS which
becomes active in the following cases independent of error messages or failure reports
which may possibly occur, if required:
– Too high transmit power,
– Too little received power (including signal failure LOS),
– Unsymmetrical data signal,
– For single fiber mode also in the case of direction mismatch (DM).
After failure of a received signal, the laser transmitter is again enabled automatically
(periodically) after no later than 60 - 80 s so that the bidirectional data communication is
established anew for an LWL path which has been restored; however, if no signal arrives
from the distant terminal as before, automatic laser shutdown again becomes active.
Automatic laser shutdown can be deactivated by a command from the craft terminal;
this takes place in an STM-1 line signal via the function groups
– RTF-1 #1 or RTF-1 #2 or
– TTF-1 #1 or TTF-1 #2.
⇒ Select the <Configuration> <Optical...> menu item for the corresponding func-
tion unit (example see Fig. 19.1).
⇒ Make the desired settings and click on the <Apply> button.

20 Engineering Order Wire

One requirement for operation of the engineering order wire is that the multiplexer shelf
i in slot 201 has been equipped with modules of the OIM*W EOW.
20.1 Engineering Order Wire Channels

The engineering order wires are transmitted via the EOW bytes E1 and E2 of the OIM*W
EOW modules; they have been coded according to the A Law.
There is a 4-wire interface for the connection of a engineering order wire.
20.2 Telephone Conference Mode

The telephone conference mode allows up to 61 external telephone channels (from
“East” and “West” line signals; four-wire) to be interconnected bidirectionally so that
every subscriber is connected with every other subscriber.
The following channels can be included in the conference mode:
– E1 channel of the two STM-1 lines (from SW R>1)
– E2 channel of the two STM-1 lines
The conference mode is created automatically by the SPC on startup of the NE, inde-
pendent of whether or not external subscribers have been connected.
Correct switching of the EOW channels for a conference or in a ring structure
(preventing closed loops) is the sole responsibility of the system administrator.
20.3 Setting the EOW Ring
⇒ Select the function unit OHF with the right mouse button in the Function View
and select the <Configuration...> menu item from the context-sensitive menu
(see 6.3.4).
