General Safety Instructions

The following instructions serve as a general guide for the safe installation and operation of telecommunications products. Additional instructions, if applicable, are included inside the manual.
Safety Symbols
This symbol may appear on the equipment or in the text. It indicates potential safety hazards regarding product operation or maintenance to operator or service personnel.
Warning
Danger of electric shock! Avoid any contact with the marked surface while the product is energized or connected to outdoor telecommunication lines.
Protective ground: the marked lug or terminal should be connected to the building protective ground bus.
Warning
Some products may be equipped with a laser diode. In such cases, a label with the laser class and other warnings as applicable will be attached near the optical transmitter. The laser warning symbol may be also attached. Please observe the following precautions: Before turning on the equipment, make sure that the fiber optic cable is intact and is connected to the transmitter. Do not attempt to adjust the laser drive current. Do not use broken or unterminated fiber-optic cables/connectors or look straight at the laser beam. The use of optical devices with the equipment will increase eye hazard.
Use of controls, adjustments or performing procedures other than those specified herein, may result in hazardous radiation exposure. ATTENTION: The laser beam may be invisible! In some cases, the users may insert their own SFP laser transceivers into the product. Users are alerted that RAD cannot be held responsible for any damage that may result if non-compliant transceivers are used. In particular, users are warned to use only agency approved products that comply with the local laser safety regulations for Class 1 laser products. Always observe standard safety precautions during installation, operation and maintenance of this product. Only qualified and authorized service personnel should carry out adjustment, maintenance or repairs to this product. No installation, adjustment, maintenance or repairs should be performed by either the operator or the user.
Handling Energized Products

General Safety Practices
Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous, energy hazards may still exist. Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, remove jewelry or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts. Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be grounded during normal use. Grounding is provided by connecting the mains plug to a wall socket with a protective ground terminal. If a ground lug is provided on the product, it should be connected to the protective ground at all times, by a wire with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipment should be mounted only in grounded racks and cabinets. Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do not connect telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment. Make sure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecting the ground. Some products may have panels secured by thumbscrews with a slotted head. These panels may cover hazardous circuits or parts, such as power supplies. These thumbscrews should therefore always be tightened securely with a screwdriver after both initial installation and subsequent access to the panels.
Connecting AC Mains
Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local codes. Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective ground. The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A. Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a power switch is provided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot be readily disconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible circuit breaker or emergency switch is installed in the building installation. In cases when the power distribution system is IT type, the switch must disconnect both poles simultaneously.
Connecting DC Power
Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in reference to the ground. Any single pole can be externally grounded. Due to the high current capability of DC power systems, care should be taken when connecting the DC supply to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards. DC units should be installed in a restricted access area, i.e. an area where access is authorized only to qualified service and maintenance personnel. Make sure that the DC power supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that the installation complies with the local codes.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A. Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Locate the circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position. When connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to the corresponding terminal, then the positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position. A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be incorporated in the building installation. If the DC power supply is floating, the switch must disconnect both poles simultaneously.
Connecting Data and Telecommunications Cables

Data and telecommunication interfaces are classified according to their safety status. The following table lists the status of several standard interfaces. If the status of a given port differs from the standard one, a notice will be given in the manual.
Ports V.11, V.28, V.35, V.36, RS-530, X.21, 10 BaseT, 100 BaseT, Unbalanced E1, E2, E3, STM, DS-2, DS-3, S-Interface ISDN, Analog voice E&M xDSL (without feeding voltage), Balanced E1, T1, Sub E1/T1
Safety Status SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage: Ports which do not present a safety hazard. Usually up to 30 VAC or 60 VDC.
TNV-1 Telecommunication Network Voltage-1: Ports whose normal operating voltage is within the limits of SELV, on which overvoltages from telecommunications networks are possible. TNV-2 Telecommunication Network Voltage-2: Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from telecommunication networks are not possible. These ports are not permitted to be directly connected to external telephone and data lines. TNV-3 Telecommunication Network Voltage-3: Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from telecommunication networks are possible.
FXS (Foreign Exchange Subscriber)
FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), xDSL (with feeding voltage), U-Interface ISDN
Always connect a given port to a port of the same safety status. If in doubt, seek the assistance of a qualified safety engineer. Always make sure that the equipment is grounded before connecting telecommunication cables. Do not disconnect the ground connection before disconnecting all telecommunications cables. Some SELV and non-SELV circuits use the same connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Extra caution should be exercised during thunderstorms.
When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at both ends. The grounding and bonding of the ground connections should comply with the local codes. The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire hazard in case of contact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk, there are restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipment and the mating connectors.
Caution
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cords.
Attention
Pour rduire les risques sincendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs de tlcommunications 26 AWG ou de section suprieure.
Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only. In such cases, a notice will be given in the installation instructions. Do not attempt to tamper with any carrier-provided equipment or connection hardware.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The equipment is designed and approved to comply with the electromagnetic regulations of major regulatory bodies. The following instructions may enhance the performance of the equipment and will provide better protection against excessive emission and better immunity against disturbances. A good ground connection is essential. When installing the equipment in a rack, make sure to remove all traces of paint from the mounting points. Use suitable lock-washers and torque. If an external grounding lug is provided, connect it to the ground bus using braided wire as short as possible. The equipment is designed to comply with EMC requirements when connecting it with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables. However, the use of shielded wires is always recommended, especially for high-rate data. In some cases, when unshielded wires are used, ferrite cores should be installed on certain cables. In such cases, special instructions are provided in the manual. Disconnect all wires which are not in permanent use, such as cables used for one-time configuration. The compliance of the equipment with the regulations for conducted emission on the data lines is dependent on the cable quality. The emission is tested for UTP with 80 dB longitudinal conversion loss (LCL). Unless otherwise specified or described in the manual, TNV-1 and TNV-3 ports provide secondary protection against surges on the data lines. Primary protectors should be provided in the building installation. The equipment is designed to provide adequate protection against electro-static discharge (ESD). However, it is good working practice to use caution when connecting cables terminated with plastic connectors (without a grounded metal hood, such as flat cables) to sensitive data lines. Before connecting such cables, discharge yourself by touching ground or wear an ESD preventive wrist strap.

Chapter 1 Introduction
This chapter provides a general introduction to Optimux-1551, including: An overview of Optimux-1551, its versions and options A brief physical description of Optimux-1551 A functional description of Optimux-1551 Technical specifications.
1.1
Overview
Optimux-1551 is an STS-3/OC-3/STM-1 synchronous digital multiplexer intended mainly for use in point-to-point applications, providing access to SONET (Synchronous Optical Network)/SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) transmission cores at the STS-3/OC-3/STM-1 level (155.52 Mbps). Optimux-1551 provides a flexible, efficient and cost-effective method for transporting PDH (Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy) signals at E1 rates (2.048 Mbps) or DS1 rates (1.544 Mbps) via a SONET or SDH uplink. Optimux-1551s uplink aggregate can be equipped with electrical intra-office interfaces or with short-haul or long-haul optical interfaces. The long-haul optical interface supports a range of up to 80 km (50 miles), thereby enabling remote access to regional and national SONET/SDH transmission networks. Optional backup cards can be installed to provide no-single-point-of-failure redundancy for the STS-3/OC 3/STM-1 uplink, power supply, and control and access primary cards. When a backup card is replaced, there is no interruption in system operation (hot swap). When a primary card is replaced, the switching time from the primary card to the backup card is less then 50 ms.

Note
Cabling accessories are not supplied with the Optimux-1551 they must be ordered separately.
Station Clock Option

An optional station clock card can be installed on the OP-6384/ OP-2128/OP-4256 card. When both the station clock and an external clock are used, the units transmit clock for transmission over the STS-3/OC-3/STM-1 uplink is locked to the station clock input source. The input source can be either one of the E1/DS1 tributaries or a dedicated external E1/DS1 input. The station clock card supports STRATUM 3 for the SONET/SDH equipment.
Applications
Point-to-Point Application
In Figure 1-1, a company campus line or a line leased from the local operator is used to link two Optimux-1551 units situated at a distance ranging from several hundreds of meters to several tens of kilometers. A backup uplink is optionally used to ensure uninterrupted data flow between the two sites. The Optimux-1551 at each site is connected to E1/DS1 access equipment.

Overview
Features
With the optical uplink, Optimux-1551 provides a simple, flexible and cost-effective solution for transporting multiple E1/DS1 signals at distances up to 80 km (50 miles). Optimux-1551 multiplexes 21/42/63 E1 or 28/56/84 DS1 channels over a single STS-3/OC-3/STM-1 data stream. This provides a highly cost-effective, simple solution for transporting multiple E1/DS1 channels for a broad range of applications. Optimux-1551 supports fiber optic (multimode, single-mode, WDM, and SF3) and coax uplinks. Optimux-1551 supports 1+1 unidirectional SONET/SDH automatic protection, as well as 1+1 protection on E1/DS1 tributaries and power supply modules, eliminating any single point of failure. Critical modules can be automatically switched to optional backup modules when required. An optional second power supply provides automatic power redundancy and fail-safe operation. An optional second uplink provides user-configurable redundancy on uplink failure. An optional second OP-6384/ OP-2128/OP-4256 card provides user-configurable redundancy for other primary hardware functions. All of these redundant cards can also be replaced without shutting down the unit and without interrupting data flow. The power supply (and optional backup power supply) can be ordered with either 100 to 240 VAC or 48 VDC nominal intake. The timing source for transmission to the STS-3/OC-3/STM-1 can be the Optimux-1551 internal clock, loopback of the received clock, or an external clock (requires an optional station clock card installed on the OP-6384/ OP-2128/OP-4256 card).
Note
If a station clock card is installed on the main OP-6384/OP-2128/ OP-4256 card and there is a backup OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 card, then to maintain redundancy a station clock card must also be installed on the backup OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 card.
To facilitate system diagnostics, Optimux-1551 features LED status indicators, AIS alarm generation, alarm dry contact interface with cut-off button, in-service monitoring of E1/DS1 lines and statistics collection and diagnostic loops on channels and uplinks. Optimux-1551 setup, control, and diagnostics can be managed via a serial port (from an ASCII terminal), via an Ethernet/Fast-Ethernet port (from a RADview or other SNMP, Telnet, or Web browser station), or from a remote unit via inband DCC bytes (RADview/SNMP, Telnet, or Web). The serial port can also be configured for dial-out alarms. Optimux-1551 is packaged in a compact 2U high unit for mounting in either an ANSI or ETSI 19" rack. Optimux-1551 conforms to the following standards: ITU G.703, ITU G.707, ITU G.783, ITU G.823, ITU G.824, ITU G.841, ITU G.957, RFC3895, RFC3592, Bellcore GR-253-CORE, Bellcore GR-499-CORE.

OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 Card Redundancy

Note If two cards are installed, both must be of the same type (both cards should either be OP-6384, OP-2128, or OP-4256) and used with the same type and number of channels:
OP-63E1: 63 E1 OP-84T1: 63 E1 or 84 DS1 OP-2128: 21 E1 or 28 DS1 OP-4256: 42 E1 or 56 DS1. Two OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 cards can be ordered with Optimux-1551 to provide 1+1 hardware protection. Where two cards are installed and redundancy is configured as automatic, one of the cards is the active card and the second is the standby card. The active and standby status switches between the cards when a failure is detected on the active card. Two modes of protection are supported:
Automatic Off Backup card becomes active card on failure condition in first card. Automatic switching between cards is disabled but still may be performed manually. The active card is the card selected as the main card.
Causes for Redundancy Switching

The following reasons can cause a redundancy switch (jump) from the active to the backup OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 card. The reasons are listed in descending order of priority. In other words, if reason 1 occurs in card 1, operation switches to card 2, and then reason 2 occurs in card 2, operation will not switch back to card 1 (if reason 1 is still occurring).
Table 1-2. Causes for Redundancy Switching

Cause
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Problem with framer Problem with station clock when the unit is operating with an external clock Problem with a mapper Problem with a CPLD (hardware logic component) The state of loss conditions on E1/DS1 channels depends on the configuration of tributary channel priorities and tributary fail limits (see Configuring the OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 (Access and Control) Card Redundancy, and Configuring the Channels sections, Chapter 4). The status of the channels can be viewed in the System Status menu (Monitor > System Monitoring > System Status). Problem with the flash memory.

Uplink Cards
Two types of STS-3/OC-3/STM-1 uplink interfaces are supported: Electrical with BNC connectors Optical 850 nm for multimode fiber 1310 and 1550 nm laser for extended range over single-mode fiber 1310 and 1550 nm laser (WDM) for extended range over single fiber using different wavelengths for transmit and receive 1310 nm laser (SF3) for extended range over single fiber using the same wavelength for transmit and receive.
Note
The uplink cards are hot-swappable.
Fiber Optic Interface Cards

Fiber optic interface cards are modular cards that convert incoming optical signals to electrical signals, and outgoing electrical signals to optical signals. Conversion is achieved by utilizing an infrared LED or laser transmitter. Fiber optic interface cards support ST, SC, SC/APC, and FC-PC connectors, single-mode and multimode fibers, and wavelengths of 850 nm, 1310 nm and 1550 nm. Table 1-7 details available fiber optic types and their performance.

Electrical Interface Card

The electrical interface card includes a line interface transceiver. The receiver recovers clock and data from the incoming signal, and also provides signal detect output. The receive and transmit data cables are connected to the card through a 75 coaxial BNC connector (unbalanced).
Uplink Redundancy
Up to two uplink cards can be ordered with Optimux-1551. The uplink A card is the default active uplink and the uplink B card is the default protection (backup) uplink. The uplink card redundancy is unidirectional 1+1 automatic protection in accordance with GR-253-CORE (for SONET) and ITU G.841 (for SDH). Together with the unit's 1+1 protection on the E1/DS1 tributaries, this eliminates any single point of failure. The status of the uplink cards changes if any of the following occurs to the current active uplink: Loss of signal Loss of frame EED B2 MS-AIS SD (signal degradation) the SD threshold can be user-configured.
The signal received from the active uplink (A or B) is passed to both the active OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 card and the protection OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 card.

Figure 1-11. Uplink Redundancy

Both uplinks must be the same interface type, i.e., both electrical or both optical. With a backup uplink card installed, Optimux-1551 redundancy mechanisms can be implemented. The following user-selectable modes are available:
Automatic Redundancy Manual Redundancy Upon detection of signal loss or malfunction in the active uplink (A), switches to the protection uplink (B). Automatically reinstates card (A) as active when card (A) recovers from the signal loss condition. Switches transmission to the protection uplink (B) upon active uplink (A) malfunction or signal loss, but unlike, automatic redundancy, does not reinstate uplink (A) as active when uplink (A) recovers from the signal loss condition. Uplink A is the active uplink and cannot switch to uplink B.

Automatic
If signal loss is recovered on uplink (A), uplink (A) is automatically reselected. There is no way to check if uplink (A) has recovered. Therefore, uplink (A) will be reactivated only if a fault condition is detected on the protection uplink (B). The main uplink (A) will not be reactivated as long as the mode is manual. Uplink A is always the active uplink.

Channels
Each E1/DS1 channel port performs the following functions: Receive path: recovers the data stream and the associated clock signal from the received line signal. The resulting channel data stream is transferred to the uplink. Transmit path: receives the channel data stream from the uplink and generates the line signal for transmission to the equipment connected to the interface.
Power Supply
To avoid injury, always disconnect an AC or DC power supplys cable before removing the power supply.
Warning
Optimux-1551 can be ordered with a 100 to 240 VAC or 48 nominal VDC power supply.
Note
The power supply cards are hot-swappable.
Power Supply Redundancy

Up to two power supplies can be ordered with Optimux-1551. The power supplies share the load. In the event of a failure in one of the power supplies, the other power supply automatically continues to support the entire load.
1-17
Figure 1-12. Power Supply Redundancy

If two power supplies are used, they do not have to be the same type. The power supply configuration can be: One or two AC One or two DC One AC and one DC.
Note
When installing both an AC power supply and a DC power supply, adhere to the following guidelines:
Jumper J1 on the DC power supply must be removed The DC power supply must be installed in power supply slot B and the AC
power supply in power supply slot A.

Each power supply has its own inlet connector. If two power supply cards are installed, during normal operation power for the Optimux-1551 is taken from both supplies. If one power supply fails, all the power consumption is automatically taken from the second power supply. If the failed power supply returns to normal operation, power is again taken from both supplies.
1-18
Management
Optimux-1551 is managed either by an ASCII terminal connection, using menu dialogs with numbered options selected by the operator, or via a more advanced interface, such as RADview, Telnet, or a web browser. Terminal management menus and procedures are described in Chapter 4,
Supervisory Port Software Configuration.

Physical connections for control can be made through the Control (RS-232) port using a DB-9 connector (cross cable required) for terminal connection or through the MNG-ETH (Ethernet/Fast Ethernet) port using an RJ-45 interface for Ethernet connection. The Control port can also be configured to support call out using a standard dialup modem.
Monitoring
Optimux-1551s monitoring mode is used for diagnostic purposes. The monitoring mode enables the user to monitor the received data of the selected channel, also referred to as sniffing. The data can be monitored on the Monitor connector located on the back panel (Figure 1-13). For E1 channels, only HDB3 is supported. For DS1 channels, only B8ZS is supported. Monitoring does not influence regular data flow. The following picture illustrates Optimux-1551s monitoring feature.

Timing
The SONET/SDH overhead terminator requires a 19.44 MHz reference source clock, which provides transmit direction timing. Three timing modes are available (software selectable): INT (Internal) LBT (Loop Back Timing) EXT (External station clock requires optional station clock card).
Figure 1-14. Timing

Internal: An onboard free-running oscillator (19.44 MHz 20 ppm) is the timing source for the transmit data toward the STS-3/OC-3/STM-1 uplink.

External: The system is synchronized to an external E1/DS1 clock source. It requires an optional station clock daughterboard, which is installed on the OP6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 card. The station clock module performs clock regeneration for SEC (Synchronous Equipment Clock) and supports STRATUM 3 for the SONET/SDH equipment. The module can operate in free-run, locked and holdover modes For source input, an external E1 (2.048 MHz) or DS1 (1.544 Mbps) clock or data can be run to the shielded, RJ-45-type Clock connector on the Optimux-1551 back panel. Alternatively, the E1/DS1 source input can be taken from one of the channels. The station clock module locks on the 2.048 MHz (or 1.544 MHz) source input and converts it to the 19.44 MHz required for the reference clock.

Where two OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 cards are installed, to maintain proper redundancy: if one has a station clock card installed the other must have a station clock card installed as well.
Diagnostics
Two kinds of diagnostic tests can be carried out: Local Loop Back (LLB) and Remote Loop Back (RLB). These loops can be carried out on the channel layer as well as on the uplink layer. For more information on diagnostics see Chapter 5, Tests and Diagnostics.
Alarms and Events

Optimux-1551 reports about events and about two types of alarms: major and minor. Events are changes in state, while alarms are caused by conditions that can be changed or terminated. Each type of alarm (major and minor) activates a LED and a dry contact alarm relay. Events do not activate LEDs or alarm relays. Alarms and events are logged in the system log file. An alarm cut-off (ACO) button is located on the back panel. Once pressed, the dry contact is disengaged and remains so until a new alarm of the same type occurs. The user can configure each alarm to be considered Major, Minor or Off. Optimux-1551 also supports external alarm input via the Alarms connector. For more information about alarms refer to Chapter 5, Tests and Diagnostics.
Statistics
Optimux-1551 includes several counters for statistics concerning the uplink and channels. For more information about statistics see Chapter 4, Supervisory Port Software Configuration.
1-22
Cooling
Optimux-1551 includes a fan tray that provides cooling air to the internal circuits. Using cooling fans permits the unit to operate over a wide range of ambient temperatures, an advantage for equipment installed in curbside cabinets. The fans operate when the units internal temperature becomes excessive. The operation of the fans is monitored by the management subsystem. The fan tray is hot-swap replaceable. It contains a Status LED that indicates the status of the four internal fans in the fan tray.

Connecting the Serial Port

The Control port (Figure 2-6) provides a means for connecting an ASCII terminal or computer serial port to the Optimux-1551 and logging into the units software. The serial interface is an RS-232 (V.24). The nominal cable length, for a data rate of 19.2 kbps, is up to 16m. Use a crossover adaptor DB9F-DB9M with a CBL-SP-9 flat cable, which are provided with the Optimux-1551.
Caution Terminal cables must have a frame ground connection. Use ungrounded cables
when connecting a supervisory terminal to a DC-powered unit with floating ground. Using improper terminal cable may result in damage to supervisory terminal port. To connect the control cable: Attach the DB9F-DB9M crossover adaptor with the CBL-SP-9 flat cable to the Control connector on the back panel of Optimux-1551. Refer to Appendix A for cable information.
2-11
Connecting the Ethernet Port

The MNG-ETH connector on the back panel (Figure 2-6) is used to connect Optimux-1551 to an Ethernet LAN using a standard 10/100BaseT interface. To connect an Ethernet cable: Attach a standard straight Ethernet cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector to the MNG-ETH connector on the back panel of Optimux-1551.
Connecting the Alarm Connector

An alarm cable can be run to a remote monitoring site from the back panel Alarms connector (Figure 2-6). The maximum rating of alarm relay contacts is 0.5A. In calculating the maximum range to the monitoring site, the rating of the relay contacts, the cabling gauge, and the power source of the monitoring device should be considered. This connector also supports the input of customer alarms up to 48 VDC (min. 10 VDC). For the Alarms connector pinout connections, refer to Appendix A. To connect an alarm cable to Optimux-1551: Attach a cable terminated with a 9-pin D-type male connector to the Alarms connector located on the Optimux-1551 back panel.
Alarms Interface
The Optimux-1551 activates and reports two types of alarms to the management station: Major and Minor. Each type of alarm can be defined as Major or Minor (see Chapter 4).
Dry Contacts
There are two user-accessible relays (through the 9-pin connector) in the Optimux-1551. One relay presents Major Alarms, the other Minor Alarms. Whenever the management reports a Minor alarm or Major alarm, the appropriate relay is activated. A cut-off button, ACO, enables user-cancellation of an alarm. An external alarm input is also supported, to enable an external force alarm for customer use.
Connecting the Uplinks

Two types of cards can be installed in the uplink slots (Figure 2-6): fiber optic and electrical. The uplink redundancy mode is user defined. Both links (A and B) must be of the same type (either both electrical or both fiber optic).
Connecting the Fiber Optic Links

To connect the fiber optic cable: 1. Attach the fiber optic cable to the interface connector on the back panel of the Optimux-1551.
2-12
2. Attach the other end of the fiber optic cable to the far-end equipment. 3. Verify that the transmit end of the cable connects to the receive end of the uplink.
Connecting the Electrical Links

To connect the coaxial cable: 1. First attach the coax cable to the interface connector on the back panel of the Optimux-1551. 2. Attach the other end of the electric cable to the far-end equipment. 3. Verify that the transmit end of the cable connects to the receive end of the uplink.

Configuration Alternatives
This section describes how to prepare Optimux-1551 and a supervisory application for a control session.
Note
Optimux-1551 can support the following multiple management sessions simultaneously:

One session via terminal application connected directly to the unit's Control
port
Up to two sessions via Telnet and/or web browser connected to the unit's
Ethernet port
Multiple (maximum quantity depends on network resources) sessions via
SNMP-based application (for example, RADview) connected to the unit's Ethernet port.
When a terminal interface is used, the number of users is displayed in the bottom right of every menu. In the web interface, the number of users can be displayed by clicking the Status button.
Managing Optimux-1551 via Terminal Port

Optimux-1551 includes a V.24/RS-232 asynchronous DTE port, designated Control and terminated in a 9-pin D-type female connector. The Control port continuously monitors the incoming data stream and immediately responds to any input string received through this port. The port requires a cross-cable (provided with Optimux-1551) for the ASCII terminal connection. The Optimux-1551 control port can be configured to communicate at the following rates: 9.6, 19.2, 38.4, 57.6 or 115.2 kbps. The word format consists of one or two stop bits and 7 or 8 data bits parity can be odd, even or disabled.
Note
At 115.2 kbps data rate, only 8 data bits and disabled parity are supported.
Preparing the Terminal

Any standard ASCII terminal (a dumb terminal or a personal computer running a terminal emulation application) equipped with a V.24/RS-232 communication interface can be used to configure Optimux-1551. Appendix A details the pin assignment and control signal directions of the Optimux-1551 Control connector.
Starting Terminal Session

To start a terminal session: 1. Connect a terminal cross-cable to the Control connector of Optimux-1551. 2. Turn on the control terminal. 3. Press <Enter> several times.
3-8
Chapter 3 Operation
Optimux-1551 automatically adjusts itself to the current terminal baud rate and responds with a string of dots.

4. Continue pressing the <.> key until Optimux-1551 displays the user name and password entry form. 5. Enter your user name and password and proceed with the management session. (If no user name and password have been defined, press <Enter> twice.)
Managing a Local Optimux-1551 via the Ethernet Port

Optimux-1551 is equipped with a management Ethernet port (MNG-ETH), which enables communication with the Optimux-1551 management subsystem using the IP protocol. The Ethernet management port is configured for a LAN cross-over connection. To prepare Optimux-1551 for network management: 1. Connect a LAN network management station to the Optimux-1551 Ethernet port designated MNG. 2. Configure IP host parameters of the Optimux-1551 units via an ASCII terminal. 3. Do one of the following: Run an SNMP management application (such as RADview) Open a Telnet session (for example, Windows Start menu | Run | Telnet <IP_address>) Open a Web Browser to: http://<IP_address> where <IP_address> is Optimux-1551s IP address.
Managing a Far-End Optimux-1551 via the Ethernet Port

A far-end Optimux-1551 can be managed via a local units Ethernet port (MNG). To prepare a far-end Optimux-1551 for network management: 1. Open a DCC channel between the units. 2. Define Management IP addresses on the near- and far-end units on the same subnetwork as the Host IP of the near-end unit. 3. When there is a direct connection between a PC and the Optimux-1551 Ethernet connector, set the default gateway in the Optimux-1551 to the PC Ethernet card IP address. 4. Define the far-end unit Host IP as 0.0.0.0.

When two OP-63E1/OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 cards are installed, only the standby card may be removed without interrupting data service. Prior to removing the standby card, it should be set to shutdown state (see Configuring the Redundancy). When a card is in shutdown state, all the indicator LEDs on its front panel blink. Once the standby card is set to shutdown, it can be extracted without interrupting service. The standby card will go back from shutdown state to normal state in the following cases: 1. The standby card is extracted and inserted again. 2. The active card is extracted and inserted again.
Configuring the OP-63E1/OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 (Access and Control) Card Redundancy

For the unit to support redundancy, both OP-63E1/OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 cards must have the same station clock daughter card configuration (a daughter card on each of them or no daughter cards at all). Also the backup OP-63E1/ OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 card's software version and configuration has to be updated (see below) to match those of the main card. To configure the OP-63E1/OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 card redundancy: 1. From the Redundancy menu, choose Main Card Redundancy. The Main Card menu appears: Optimux-1551 Configuration>System Configuration>Redundancy>Main Card Redundancy Actual Main Card Redundancy Status Standby Shutdown Status 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

If the Mode is configured to Dial Out, the Control (serial) port becomes inaccessible for further configuration. In that case configuration will have to be continued through the MNG-ETH (Ethernet) port until the serial port is reconfigured to Terminal mode. Therefore, if you intend to configure the serial port to Dial Out, first configure the unit with a valid IP address so that you will be able to manage the unit via the Ethernet. If you mistakenly switch the port to Dial Out mode before you have assigned an IP address, then the only way to regain Terminal mode for the serial port is (while still in this menu) to use a connected terminal to enter Q (for quit).
2. Determine the Mode for the Control (serial) port: Terminal (default) or Dial Out. Terminal enables (further) configuring Optimux-1551 through the port, Dial Out changes the use of the port to serving as a channel for dial out modem access for reporting alarms.

Software Updates
Note
If a backup OP-63E1/OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 (access and control) card is installed, then any software download should be done to both cards to maintain support for automatic redundancy.
This section presents procedures for installing new software releases on Optimux-1551, as well as swapping existing software versions (where a backup OP-63E1/OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 card is installed). The Optimux-1551 system software is stored in nonvolatile memory. There are two memory partitions (referred to as 0 and 1) in which to store a set of software files. The software is stored in compressed format. The active version is decompressed and loaded into the Optimux-1551 RAM upon power-up. The passive software is kept for the backup purposes. When performing any kind of download/upload, the TST LED blinks during the operation. The user can select which partition is active and which serves as backup. Each time that software is downloaded, it goes to the backup partition, which then becomes active. The previous active partition becomes backup (with its previous version of the software).
To work with the software files on the Optimux-1551: 1. From the Main menu, choose File Utilities.

Viewing Software Status

To view the status of the software: Choose SW Files to view the current status of the memory partitions, including which partition is active and what software version it holds.
Swapping Active Software

To swap the active software files on the Optimux-1551: 1. To swap the software files on the partitions, select Swap SW Files. Optimux-1551 displays a confirmation request. 2. Type Y to confirm. The swap is performed. The software that was active before the swap becomes the backup and the former backup software becomes active. Optimux-1551 is then reset automatically.
Additional Tasks
4-55
3. At this point redundancy is lost because the partitions on only one of the cards have been switched. Wait about a minute until Redundancy Not Available is displayed. 4. Repeat the software swapping procedure on the remaining card to regain redundancy.
Note
It is important to wait for the Redundancy Not Available message because it indicates that first card has come back up. If the software swap for the remaining card is done before that, service will be interrupted.
Downloading Software
New software releases are distributed on diskettes as *.img files, which can be downloaded to the local Optimux-1551 using the TFTP or XMODEM protocol.
Note
Once an active card has been updated with new software, and the unit has switched to the other card (was the backup card), there are two ways to update that other card:
Perform another download to the other card. Select Update SW Version from the Main Card Redundancy menu (see
Figure 4-9).
During a download, the following occurs: 1. The backup software is erased (unless this is the first download, in which case there is no backup software yet. 2. The new software is downloaded to the partition that formerly held the backup software. 3. The unit resets itself (see Resetting the Unit, page 4-44). 4. The new software is decompressed. 5. The new software becomes active. 6. The software that was active before the download becomes the backup. If a failure occurs during downloading of the new software, the process is aborted (no reset is performed). If a failure occurs during decompression of the new software, it is deleted and the software that was active before the download attempt remains active. In both failure cases, only one software version remains in the flash memory (the software that was active before the download attempt).

Chapter 5 Configuring Typical Applications

This chapter gives detailed instructions for configuring Optimux-1551 units for typical point-to-point and fan-out connections. A terminal can be used to configure a local Optimux-1551. However, to configure remote units, a Telnet, web, or SNMP application is required.
5.1
Configuring a Point-to-Point Application
Figure 5-1 illustrates a point-to-point connection extended by a pair of

Optimux-1551 units.
Figure 5-1. Point-to-Point Application

In most of the configuration procedure the same parameter values are used for both the Near End (NE) and Far End (FE) Optimux-1551 units. The exceptions are selecting the clock source and the IP address, both of which differ for the two units. In this application example, the NE unit can be configured for an internal or external (requires optional station clock card) clock source and the FE unit for LBT clock source. The NE unit is connected to a LAN, thereby enabling remote management.
Note
The following procedure is first applied to the NE Optimux-1551. Then see step 16 for how to proceed with the FE unit.
5-1
To configure the Optimux-1551 system parameters: 1. Configure an ASCII terminal to:

115.2 kbps* eight data bits* one stop bit VT100 emulation. one start bit* no parity no flow control
Note
* Rate, start bit, and data bit values do not have to have the values stated here: Optimux-1551 automatically detects the user-assigned values and configures itself to work with them.
2. Connect a terminal application to the Control port of the NE Optimux-1551 unit. The unit automatically configures itself to communicate with the terminal application and displays a password prompt. 3. Enter the password. 4. Select the Link Type: SONET or SDH (Main Menu > Configuration > Physical Port Configuration > Uplink Configuration > Link Type). 5. Perform SOH Configuration, HVC Configuration, and LVC Configuration (SDH only) according to the selected Link Type (Main Menu > Configuration > Physical Port Configuration > Uplink Configuration). 6. Configure the Channel Type: E1 or DS1 (Main Menu > Configuration > Physical Port Configuration > Channel Configuration > LIU Configuration > Line Type).
Note
The Channel Type value applies for all the channels.

7. Set channel Priority, Activity, and Length (Length parameter is not required for E1). This can be done for each channel individually or as a group (Main Menu > Configuration > Physical Port Configuration > Channel Configuration > Multiple Port Configuration). 8. Configure Uplink Redundancy parameters (Main Menu > Configuration > System Configuration > Uplink Redundancy). 9. Configure Main (OP-63E1/OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256) Card Redundancy parameters (Main Menu > Configuration > System Configuration > Main Card Redundancy). 10. Set Date and Time (Main Menu > Configuration > System Configuration > Date/Time). 11. Update Ethernet Port parameters according to the LAN configuration (Main Menu > Configuration > System Configuration > Control Port > Ethernet Port). 12. For the Serial Port, configure Mode, Parameters, and Dial Out Capability (Main Menu > Configuration > System Configuration > Control Port > Serial Port). 13. Configure the Management DCC parameters to create a management band between the NE and FE unit (Main Menu > Configuration > Physical Port Configuration > Uplink Configuration > Management DCC). The management
5-2
band serves to TELNET/web browser/MIB browser/RADview management sessions with the FE Optimux-1551. 14. On the NE unit, choose the appropriate timing mode: Internal, or External (requires optional Station Clock card) (Main Menu > Configuration > System Configuration > Master Clock). 15. Configure Management parameters (Main Menu>Configuration>System Configuration> Management) to prepare the NE unit for TELNET/web browser/MIB browser/RADview management sessions with the FE unit. 16. Repeat steps 1 to 14 for the FE Optimux-1551 unit, assigning it: A far-end IP address An LBT clock source.
5.2
Configuring a E1/DS1 Fan-Out for SONET/SDH Network Application
Figure 5-1 illustrates a E1/DS1 Fan-Out connection to a/an SONET/SDH network

for an Optimux-1551 unit.
Figure 5-2. E1/DS1 Fan-Out for SONET/SDH Networks

To configure the Optimux-1551 system parameters: 1. Configure an ASCII terminal to:
115.2 kbps* eight data bits* one stop bit VT100 emulation. one start bit* no parity no flow control
Note
* Rate, start bit, and data bit values do not have to have the values stated here: Optimux-1551 automatically detects the user-assigned values and configures itself to work with them.

Detecting Errors
Power-Up-Self-Test
Optimux-1551 performs hardware self-test upon power-on. The self-test sequence checks the critical circuit functions of Optimux-1551. If Optimux-1551 fails the self-test, the self-test failure alarm is stored in the alarm buffer and the FLT indicator turns red. In the System Status menu you can see what went wrong in the hardware status field. If two OP-63E1/OP-6384/OP-2128/OP-4256 cards are installed, each card periodically performs a self-test on its components and sends the results to the other card. If the following three conditions hold, the unit will switch to the backup card: The self-test on the active card detects a problem Redundancy mode is set to automatic The self-test on the backup card detects no problem or a less serious problem.
System Log File

Optimux-1551 maintains alarm log files for alarms and events. The file stores up to 200 alarm messages. The log file specifies source, alarm or event name, status (major, minor, or OFF), and time and date when the alarm was initiated. An "OFF" status indicates that the fault condition that caused the alarm is cleared. To display the system log file: 1. From the System Monitoring menu, choose System Log File. The System Log File screen appears. For a SONET uplink, the screen is as follows:

Alarms and Events
Handling Alarms
Optimux-1551 reports about events and about two types of alarms: major and minor. Events are changes in state, while alarms are caused by fault conditions that can be changed or terminated. The following types of events and alarms are reported: system, SOH, HVC, tributary (LVC), and channel. Each type of alarm (major and minor) activates a LED and a dry contact alarm relay. Events do not activate LEDs or alarm relays. Optimux-1551 maintains a log file for up to 200 event and alarm entries. When a fault condition becomes true, an "alarm on" entry is added to both the relevant alarm menu and the log file. The condition also activates the corresponding MAJ (major) or MIN (minor) relay and LED. When the fault condition that caused the alarm is cleared, the alarm is removed from the alarm menu, and an "alarm off" entry is added to the log file. The log file preserves a history of the unit's operation, maintaining both the record of when a fault occurred and when it ceased. If an alarm is masked, then when the alarm occurs it is not entered in the log file, a trap is not sent, and the alarm relays are not affected. However, the alarm still appears in the active alarm list. An alarm cutoff (ACO) button is located on the back panel. Once pressed, the dry contact is disengaged and remains so until a new alarm of the same type occurs. Optimux-1551 also supports external alarm input via the Alarms connector. The user can configure each alarm's severity (major, minor or none). See Chapter 4.
Note
In the alarm menus, only (currently) active alarms are displayed.

The Optimux-1551 software enables display of system and port information. This section describes only status information of the Optimux-1551 device. To monitor Optimux-1551 operation: From the Main menu, choose Monitoring. The Monitoring menu appears:

Testing Optimux-1551
Both local and remote loopback tests can be run on the channels and on the uplinks. When performing any kind of diagnostic test, the TST LED lights ON. Loopback tests can be performed on one or more channels simultaneously. However they cannot be performed on both the uplink and channels simultaneously.
Channel LLB
This diagnostic test is used for checking the connections between a specific user tributary channel and the local Optimux-1551. This loop can be run on each channel independently. An AIS signal (All 1s) is transmitted on the relevant channel toward the uplink if it is enabled.
Note
When performing LLB on all channels, the device will transmit MS AIS towards the uplink. Figure 6-47 illustrates the channel LLB loop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: In Optimux-1551, how can I manage the device when the serial port is configured to dial-out mode? Answer: In Optimux-1551, when setting the serial port to dial-out mode, it is not possible to manage the device from terminal connected to the serial port. In order to manage the device it is recommended to set IP address before setting the dial-out mode, and to manage the device using Telnet over the Ethernet management port. Question: How do I connect my E1s or T1s to a telco connector? Answer: Telco connectors are quite popular in telecom companies. They can be acquired in any electronic store or the cable can be bought from RAD. There are three options for this type of connection: Telco-Open: This cable has a Telco connector on one side, and loose wires on the other. You can use these wires and RJ-45 (female) connectors, and you will have a solution for connecting your E1s or T1s to the Optimux-1551. The ordering option for this cable is CBL-TELCO-OPEN/2M. Telco-Telco: This is a cable that has two Telco connectors (one at each end of the cable). One Telco connector you connect to the Optimux-1551, and the other to an adaptor (a box) from Telco to RJ-45. The adaptor is a box made by RAD, which will perform the conversion from Telco to RJ-45. It has 28 female RJ-45 connectors. You then will only have to connect your E1s or T1s to the RJ-45s in the adaptor. The ordering option for this solution is OP-A/ADAPTOR/28RJ. When ordering the adaptor, you also get the Telco-Telco cable; therefore it is not necessary to enter a separate order for this cable. Telco-RJ45: This cable has a Telco connector on one side, and 14 RJ-45 male connectors on the other. You can use the RJ-45 male connectors to connect your E1s or T1s to the Optimux-1551. The ordering option for this cable is: CBL-TELCO-RJ45/2M. Question: Can I connect Optimux-1551 to an STM-1? Answer: Yes. Optimux-1551 is fully compatible with the STM-1 standard, both for Coax and Fiber Optic (no matter what type of FO interface). You just have to make sure that the other equipment is fully STM-1 compatible. Question: Where can I find definitions of the cable colors for CBL-Telco-Open? Answer: For a detailed description of each wire, see Appendix A (the section titled I/O Telco Cables) on page A-16.

I/O Patch Panel Connectors (Option)

The front of the patch panel has 21 BNC ports for unbalanced E1 channels (P/N: OP-A/ADAPTOR/21BNC) or 28 RJ-45 ports (P/N: OP-A/ADAPTOR/28RJ) for 21 balanced E1 or 28 balanced DS1 channels. The pin-out for the RJ-45 ports is provided in Table A-8.

The back of the patch panel has two Telco-connector I/O ports (I/O 1 and I/O 2). These ports connect the patch panel to I/O ports (I/O 1 to I/O 6) on the Optimux-1551. A total of three patch panels are required to connect the full number of E1 (63) or DS1 (84) channels supported by the Optimux-1551. The connection order for three patch panel units is given in Table A-9.

The pin-out from a patch channel connector to the corresponding patch I/O connector and on to the corresponding Optimux-1551 I/O connector depends on the patch panel model, the channel type, and the number of patch panel units. The Telco connector pin-out for the I/O 1 and I/O 2 connectors on the back of the patch panel is the same as that for the I/O 1 (Table A-2) and I/O 2 (Table A3) connectors on the Optimux-1551, with the following differences between I/O 2 of the patch panel and I/O 2 of the Optimux-1551: OP-A/ADAPTOR/21BNC: I/O 2 supports seven E1 channels
The connection between the channel connectors on the front of the patch panel and the Optimux-1551's I/O connectors are given in the group of tables starting with Table A-8. Example: Determine how to run channel 29 of a balanced DS1 connection: Since the connection is balanced DS1, the OP-A/ADAPTOR/28RJ is required. Since each patch panel supports only 28 channels, two units will be required. From Table A-8: the channel should be connected to channel connector 1 of the second patch panel and will interface from the patch panel's I/O 1 connector to the Optimux-1551's I/O 3 connector. From Table A-2 the patch panel's I/O 1 connector pins are 1, 2, 33, and 34. From Table A-4: the Optimux-1551's I/O 3 connector pins are also 1, 2, 33, and 34.
Note
DS1 channels are supported only by OP-A/ADAPTOR/28RJ units (28 balanced channels). E1 channels are supported by both OP-A/ADAPTOR/28RJ units (21 balanced) and by OP-A/ADAPTOR/21BNC units (21 unbalanced).
