General Description 1. Introduction
1. Introduction
TITAN Family of Digital Cross-connect Products

1.01 This document describes the TITAN 5500 and 5500S series of digital
cross-connect products. The TITAN family, summarized in Table 1.1, contains a
comprehensive group of products that address a broad range of cross-connect
capabilities. The TITAN family consists of the 5300 narrow band digital cross-
connect services and 5500/S wideband/broadband digital cross-connect services.
Products of the 5300 series interface with facilities at the DS0 level, DS1 level, DS3
level, and at subrate speeds. They cross-connect these facilities at the subrate,
DS0, and DS1 levels. Products of the 5500/S series interface with facilities at the
DS1, DS3, STS1E, and SONET OC-3 and OC-12 levels. They cross-connect
these facilities at DS1, DS3, E1 constituent (CST), STS3C, and Synchronous
Optical Network (SONET) based levels of virtual tributary or Synchronous Trans-
mission Signal-level 1 Synchronous Payload Envelope (STS1 SPE).

1.02 The TITAN family of cross-connect products is highly compatible and

allows migration to larger systems and increased functionality. All 5300 series
products share a common set of facility-interface modules, which allows the
investment in this equipment to be preserved when migrating to a switch network
of greater capacity. All 5500 series products, as well as the 532L, share common
administrative control subsystems and use a SONET-based switch network
architecture that facilitates the implementation of feature enhancements.
1.03 Hereafter in this document, each reference to the TITAN 5500/S should be
understood to include the TITAN 5500 and TITAN 5500S.

General Description 2. TITAN 5500/S Description
2. TITAN 5500/S Description
2.01 The TITAN 5500/S is a digital cross-connect system (DCS) rich in features.
The 5500/S is based on a five-stage switch network for nonblocking functionality
up to its maximum size. The TITAN 5500/S redundant architecture ensures that no
single component failure can cause a loss of service to more than one facility.
2.02 The TITAN 5500/S flexible architecture allows for a pay-as-you-grow
protection of investment.
2.03 The 5500/S series products occupy a special niche within the TITAN family
because their switching architecture is based upon the payload envelope structure
developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for SONET. These
systems meet the service provider’s cross-connect requirements, including
increased size, expanded features, and enhanced interface capabilities. The
TITAN 5500 system architecture is the key to this flexibility. Because the switch
network is based upon a SONET payload envelope structure, the systems of the
5500/S series protect against obsolescence.
Role in the Network

2.04 The TITAN 5500/S allows service providers to manage both wideband and
broadband bandwidths. Because it contains features to groom and fill facilities, the
TITAN 5500/S is an effective hub for traffic entering and leaving an office. The inte-
grated test access and performance monitoring capabilities of the TITAN 5500/S
allow a service provider to conduct a quick and easy check of facility quality.
Location in the Network

2.05 TITAN 5500/S systems can be deployed in most locations within the public
network to terminate OC-12, OC-3, EC1 (STS-1E), DS3, and DS1 facilities and
cross-connect at the STS3C, STS1 SPE, DS3, VT1.5, E1 CST, and DS1 rates.
These systems can also be used in the electronic digital signal cross-connect
(EDSX) role to support 1/1 and 3/3 connections and 3/1 drop-and-insert multi-
plexing. Because it can be controlled remotely via communication with network
management systems, the TITAN 5500/S can be located in staffed or unstaffed
locations. The compact size of the TITAN 5500S allows it to be located in a small
office where it can be used to groom traffic from several access rings, and an
expanded TITAN 5500 system may be located in the largest central office where it
can be used to groom traffic to and from broadband interoffice facilities.

2. TITAN 5500/S Description General Description
System Architecture
2.06 All TITAN 5500/S systems include three subsystems: the administrative
complex, the switch network complex, and the port interface complex. These sub-
systems are divided among the Administrative Complex (AC) rack, the switch
Network Complex (NC) equipment racks, and the port interface racks, respectively.
However, because some of these functions are distributed, parts of the switch
network complex reside in the port interface racks and parts of the administrative
complex reside in the switch network and port interface racks.
Administrative Complex
2.07 The Administrative Complex (AC) contains the main processors for the
system. It provides the input and output interfaces for operations, administration,
maintenance, and provisioning. The nonvolatile storage and removable media are
also located in the administrative complex.
Switch Network Complex

2.08 The switch network complex (NC) supports all of the cross-connections
that are established between facilities terminated on the TITAN 5500/S system. It
is an internal interface between port modules that is central to system operation.
Figure 2.1, page 1-5, illustrates a functional block diagram of a single cross-
connect path through the TITAN 5500/S between any two facilities A and B. The
switch network in the TITAN 5500/S includes two main divisions: the Time Slot
Interchange (TSI) modules and the switch core, which is made up of End Switch
Modules (ESMs) and Center Switch Modules (CSMs).
2.09 The switch network complex is transparent to the available facility termina-
tions. Under command of the administrative complex, the data from the ports
undergoes envelope or virtual-tributary-level switching as it passes through the
switch network to desired destinations. It is important to note that the facility inter-
face (the port module), and not the switch network, translates signals into the
SONET-compatible format. This adaptive architecture protects the switch network
complex of the TITAN 5500/S from obsolescence.
2.10 Different types of TSI modules are used with the different kinds of facility-
interfaces:
• An STS-1E or DS3 port module requires a DS3 TSI module for inter-
facing to the switch core.
• A quad DS1 port module requires a DS1/1 TSI module for interfacing
to the switch core.
• A double-density DS1 port module requires a double-density DS1/1

TSI module for interfacing to the switch core.
• An OC-3 or an OC-12 port module requires an optical TSI (TSIO)

module for interfacing to the switch core.
Since the TSI modules are matched to the port shelf type, they are
located in the port shelves even though they are functionally part of the
switch network complex.
Page 1-4 5/02 76.5500/1, Rev I1

2.11 The TSI stands in contrast to the equipment of the switch core, which
remains the same for all types of facility interfaces. The switch core is located apart
from the port shelves in equipment racks dedicated to the support of end switch
and center switch modules.
Port Interface Complex

2.12 The port interface complex is the physical and electrical/optical interface to
the service provider’s transmission lines, functioning under the supervision of the
administrative complex. The ports terminate the digital facilities and pass the data
from the facilities to the switch network, and from the switch network back to the
facilities. Due to the SONET architecture, all signals are translated into a SONET-
compatible format (synchronous payload envelopes or virtual tributaries) at the
facility interface. This aspect of TITAN 5500/S design is further detailed beginning

OC-12, OC-3, STS-1E and asynchronous DS3/3, DS3/1 and DS1/1.

TITAN 5500/S Configurations

2.13 Switch core capacity and physical configuration account for the main
differences between the TITAN 5500S and the TITAN 5500.
TITAN 5500S 128 SDF 2.14 The TITAN 5500S has its entire switch core (both copies) located in one
rack along with both Administrative Complex copies (AC).
TITAN 5500 256 SDF 2.15 The 256 SDF nonexpandable TITAN 5500 also has both copies of its
Nonexpandable switch core located in one rack, but the AC shelves are located in a separate rack.
TITAN 5500 256 SDF 2.16 The 256 SDF expandable TITAN 5500 has each copy of its switch core
Expandable located in a different rack (two equipped racks plus two optional vacant racks for
expansion). This is the same layout as the 1024 port TITAN 5500, with open space
for expansion. The AC shelves are located in a separate rack.
TITAN 5500 1024 SDF 2.17 The 1024 SDF TITAN 5500 has each copy of its switch core divided
between two different racks (total of four racks per system). The AC shelves are
located in a separate rack.
among four different racks (total of eight racks per system). The AC shelves are
among four different racks (total of eight racks per system). The AC shelves are

TITAN 5500/S Growth

2.20 The TITAN 5500/S can serve different applications if facility-interface
equipment is changed or added. The switch core architecture of the TITAN
5500/S allows the capacity of the system to grow in increments of 32 equivalent
DS3 ports. This reconfiguration and expansion can be performed on a live traffic-
bearing system with no loss of service. The maximum number of DS3 equivalent
ports that can be equipped without expanding the switch network is 128 for the
TITAN 5500S and 256, 1024, 2048, or 3072 for the TITAN 5500.
2.21 TITAN 5500/S digital cross-connect systems are characterized by the
following features:
• Three hardware groups that can be separated for convenience. Two
of these groups, the facility interface (port racks) and the switch
network complex, interconnect via high-capacity fiber optic cables
using Tellabs System Data Format (SDF) signal mapping. Communi-
cations pertaining to administrative and housekeeping functions are
sent among the three groups via LAN cable, using Tellabs System
Communication Format (SCF) signal processing. Intrasystem commu-
nication is explained in detail in Section 4, Equipment Divisions Within
TITAN 5500/S, page 1-49; SDF and SCF buses are also described in
that section. The distributed architecture of the TITAN 5500/S system
allows the port racks to be distributed throughout the central office.
Equipment is divided by function as follows:
- Microprocessor control is distributed across all of the equipment

racks within the system. Distributed processing provides local
control of the switch network and port shelves for status moni-
toring and housekeeping functions. This reduces the burden
placed upon the System Processor Module (SPM/APM function-
ality) in the AC rack and increases its efficiency.
Note 1: Beginning with FP7.0, the 5501C System Processor Module (SPM) is
required for use in the Administrative Processor Module (APM) slot (#4)
of the 550A Administrative Complex (AC) shelf. Also, either the 5501B
SPM or 5501C SPM can be used in the Communications Processor
Module (CPM) slot (#3) of the 550A AC shelf. For systems running
FP6.1, the 5501C SPM can be used in either APM or CPM slots. How-
ever, for systems running FP6.0, the 5501C SPM is not supported in
either the APM or CPM slot.
Note 2: The 81.5501C cannot be used in a TITAN 5500 system running FP6.0
or lower loads. If the 81.5501C SPM is inserted into a system running
FP6.0, the module will reset and the following error message will appear:
"The 81.5501C SPM is not supported on a FP6.0 system. Remove this
card and insert an 81.5501B."
The 81.5501C SPM will then freeze and its fault LED will light. Once the
81.5501C SPM is removed from the FP6.0 system, it will be fully func-
tional in a system running FP6.1 or higher loads.
- The nonblocking multistage switch network is distributed such that

the first and last stages reside in the port racks, while the three
middle stages reside in the switch network equipment racks.
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-7

- An adaptive architecture gives the internal switch network the

ability to recognize and pass the Synchronous Optical Network,
Signal Level 1 Payload Envelope (SONET STS1 SPE) and its
various Virtual Tributary (VT) levels, as outlined in ANSI T1.105-
1995. This gives the TITAN 5500/S the capability of port module
control over the conversion from external interface signal rates to
internal system transfer rates, providing control over switch
network bandwidth actually used by each facility interface. This
allows DS1 signals to be passed economically by using only the
bandwidth required, while allowing DS3 signals with their much
greater bandwidth requirement to be passed intact, without the
need to break them down to the DS1 level. This last feature is
crucial to the passing of signals that require a 44.736Mbps band-
width, such as near-broadcast-quality TV and other nonchannel-
ized T3 signals.
In addition, the switch network passes the STS3C signal intact
when a 150.336Mbps bandwidth is required, such as when trans-
porting services that incorporate the Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM). This is accomplished by connecting three adjacent
payload envelopes (STS1 SPE) to provide the required band-
width.
• Flexible gateway application implementation. Because switching path
bandwidth is determined at the port-to-switch-network interface by the
port modules, different facility formats can be interfaced by selecting
the appropriate port modules for the interface. This allows SONET
OC-3 or OC-12 to interface to DS3, DS3 to interface to STS1 SPE, or
DS1 to interface to VT1.5, and so on, without making any change to
the switch network itself.

TITAN 5500/S Features

2.22 TITAN 5500/S systems offer the following features:
• The system is expandable from 128 to 256 to 1024 to 2048 to 3072
ports without affecting service on existing cross-connections.
• Available administrative link (user interface) ports:
- two X.25 interfaces to facilitate Operating Support System (OSS)

compatibility running at up to 57.6kbps. Each X.25 port allows up
to eight circuits, including any combination of Switched Virtual Cir-
cuits (SVCs) and Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs)
- four RS-232 ports running at up to 57,600 baud
- two RS-232 ports running at up to 38,400 baud
- six Ethernet ANSI 802.3 interfaces, optional for supporting simul-
taneous TCP/IP and OSI protocols, providing 16 user sessions
per TITAN.Two support CO LAN communication and the other
four support TITAN internal communication.
• A full complement of office alarms, including critical, major processor,
major, and minor alarm indications are available.
• Standard redundant equipment includes the following:
- 1:1 switch network redundancy

- 1:7 redundancy for quad and double-density DS1 port modules
- 1:8 redundancy for DS3 and STS-1E port modules
- 1:1 redundancy for SONET OC-3 (and higher) port modules
- 1:1 redundancy for the AC shelf
• E1 CST signals are available via the 81.5517C G747 DS3 port module
and the 81.5519A Time Slot Interchange module (TSI31A).
• Integral test access is provided for STS3C, STS1, DS3, E1 CST, DS1,
and VT1.5 signal levels.
• The system uses the same software, switch network, and control
complex equipment, regardless of the type of facility interface equip-
ment used.
• Transmux functionality on optical and electrical port shelve allows

cross-connection of DS1-constituents of a DS3 payload within an
STS1 without the use of DS3/1 port modules. All involved optical port
shelves must be equipped with 5544A/5545A I-Mux or 5544T/5545T
T-Mux mapping modules. All involved STS-1E port shelves must be
equipped with 5520T TMUX modules.
• Distributed DCC routing is supported beginning with FP6.1. The

5549A module has the capability of routing and further processing the
DCC data. This enhancement makes the 5549A a fully standard OSI
router. It accesses the data link fields in the SONET overhead and
routes the OSI packets among other DCCs and its Ethernet port.
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-9

- Distributed routing via the 5549A DPM allows the TITAN 5500
system to be configured as multiple level 2 routers. When config-
ured as a level 1 router, data is received and routed to the network
elements (NEs) in that area. When configured as multiple level 2
routers, communication is possible with other OSI routers in other
areas. This allows the TITAN to act as a central node for subdi-
viding the OSI network into areas.
• Remote Patching provides a quick and easy method of distributing
software updates to the TITAN system.
• Remote Patch Activation offers the ability to activate software patches

to the TITAN system from a remote location via network operation
channels (TCP/IP or OSI connection). This feature allows the TITAN
system to receive and activate software patches remotely, thus elimi-
nating the need for on-site personnel during the patch activation
process.
• Remote patch activation during an upgrade offers the ability to load

and activate software patches while performing an upgrade.
• SONET optical facility interfaces configure to either Linear Automatic
Protection Switching (APS) or Unidirectional Path Switched Ring
(UPSR) modes.
• Manual cross-connect panel and stand-alone muldem replacement

enables software control of bandwidth routing.
• Enhanced User Interface (EUI) provides a menu-driven user interface

to help build commands.
• Reverse Manual DCS Cutover (RMDX) allows the replacement or

addition of network elements using a quad form of a triplet, consisting
of a four-port relationship rather than a three-port relationship as in
trunk and line triplets.
• The following simultaneous DCC OSI protocol conversions are

available:
- TL1 messages over TELNET over TCP/IP to TL1 messages over

OSI
- TL1 messages over TCP/IP to TL1 messages over OSI
- TL1 messages over X.25 to TL1 messages over OSI
- TL1 messages over async RS-232 to TL1 messages over OSI
• Data Communication Channel (DCC) using SONET OC-3/OC-12
interfaces and 10Mbps LAN is available.
• Command-driven diagnostics are available for all non-power supply

modules.
• Performance and Alarm Monitoring Suspension (PASUSP) enhance-

ments for all DS1/E1 CST/VT1/ DS2/ DS3/STS1/EC1/STS3C termina-
tions.
• Command Abort allows a user to abort certain executing or queued

commands. The system then terminates the execution of the
command at a logical interruption point. A ranged command gives a
system response that indicates where the command stopped.
Page 1-10 5/02 76.5500/1, Rev I1

• Command Prompt Confirmation (CPC) allows the craftsperson to

reconsider the command entered. A warning stating the possible loss
of traffic or service, or a change to system wide parameters displays,
followed by an “Are You Sure Y/N?” prompt.
• Module Revision Check (REVCHK) looks for the minimum revision

levels required prior to upgrading the system to future feature pack-
ages. REVCHK is supported for all equipment types with the exception
of system shelves, system power supplies, system LIMs, SPMs, and
DSMs.
• Level II Performance Monitoring for monitoring the performance of

DS3 and DS1 payloads in SONET signals.
• DS3 far-end performance monitoring using C-bit parity.
• DS1 far-end performance monitoring, per ANSI T1.403 or AT&T TR

54016, supports both passive and intrusive modes.
• Commanded PMHSO allows collected PM data to be output using a

single TL1 command (CPY-DATA) via a TCP/IP link. Once the TL1
command has been received, the TITAN 5500/S system will transfer
the previously stored PM file to a remote FTP server.
• ANSI-compliant Payload Defect Indication (PDI) is supported on all

STS1 and VT1.5 synchronous (and asynchronous-to-synchronous)
cross-connects.
• Fault Escalation/Fault Indication (FE/FI) protects dual-homed rings

from a single point of failure. Fault indication uses the Payload Defect
Indication (PDI) code in the Path Signal Label (PSL) section of the
SONET overhead to indicate payload faults. Fault escalation
propagates a constituent failure by transmitting an Alarm Indication
Signal (AIS) at the transport level.
• Fault Escalation/Indication Enhancement supports the ability to provi-

sion the escalating/indicating of a high rate transmitted facility should
one (or more) of the high rate facility’s constituents experience LOF or
exceed the service level threshold of BER on the input port of the lower
rate signal. The input facility may be a constituent or a digroup.
• Alarm Escalation for the port complex shelves creates service

affecting (SA) alarms starting with the root cause, then working down
to the termination with dropped traffic. This allows any contributing
factors related to the traffic loss to be addressed.
• Programmable facility performance monitoring thresholds for the

following:
- Out of Frame (OOF)

- Bit Error Rate (BER)
- Coding Violation (CV)
- Errored Seconds (ES)
- Severely Errored Seconds (SES)
- Unavailable Seconds (UAS)
- Degraded Minutes (DM)
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-11

• Synchronization Status Messages (SSMs) stating the overall stability

and quality of the reference source can be received via the overhead
of the reference source signals and displayed on an administrative
terminal. The system also can relay SSMs and source timing informa-
tion to network elements via the DS1 and SONET overhead.
• Auto Link allows the system to automatically configure an X.25 SVC.
• Session Association identifies whether or not the test access cross-

connection is released when the user who created the test access
cross-connection terminates a session.
• The System Health Report (SHR) helps to manage the health of the
TITAN system. The SHR can be scheduled and retrieved, via TL1
commands, to provide alarm annunciations and clears as well as
general system information for 24-hour periods on up to 12,000 AID/
alarm type combinations residing on the system. The SHR can be
scheduled to print on a daily basis to aid in preventative maintenance;
or it can be printed on demand, such as during an outage, to aid in
identifying any failed equipment. These reports are stored on non-
volatile memory for 30 days, and the report for any of the past 30 days
can be printed at any time.
• Remote Backup and Restore (RBR) provides the capability to backup

or restore critical NE data and program files via a remote server over
an IP network. The remote backup feature enables users to perform
data backups without having to physically transport a Single Remov-
able Media (SRM) from a site for storage at a remote location. The
remote restore feature provides an additional safeguard for disaster
recovery in the case of a catastrophic event. A remote backup can be
performed manually or at regularly scheduled intervals using a TL1
command. A remote restore can be performed using TL1 commands
or Utility Mode (UM).
• Remote Software Download allows the distribution of feature package

upgrade software from a remote server to a designated system over
an IP network via TL1 commands.

Cost Savings and Benefits

2.23 TITAN 5500/S offers service providers immediate savings and benefits,
including OC-12 through DS1 level routing, maintenance, and grooming of DS1s
within higher level interfaces to provide easier maintenance and a consolidation of
equipment within a central office. Refer to paragraph 3.42, page 1-39.
2.24 TITAN 5500/S also reduces the need for manual craft intervention in
setting up a cross-connection by providing remote control of system administration
and test access.
2.25 Other TITAN 5500/S benefits include the following:
• requires minimal floor space due to compact construction
• provides real-time performance monitoring
• consolidates control and alarm interfaces
• provides for remote provisioning, testing, loading, and activating of

software patches
• provides for remote software downloads
• provides for remote backup and restore of critical NE data and

program files
• provides for patch activation during an upgrade
• provides for improved data collection
• allows connection to network management systems
• provides a migration path that includes three-dimensional growth in

size, in features, and in types of interfaces
• provides mechanical features for fast and precise installation
• provides TCP/IP to OSI conversion, thus eliminating the need for

external mediation devices and the cost associated with maintaining
them
• uses a SONET-based switch network that ensures compatibility with

evolving fiber optic transmission standards
2.26 The last item above is perhaps the most important benefit of all. The TITAN
5500/S system is a SONET-based platform, not just a SONET-compatible digital
cross-connect. As a result, the TITAN 5500/S expands to include SONET OC-3/12
interfacing simply by adding OC-3 and/or OC-12 port-interface equipment, while
the switch network and control complex remain essentially the same. Since these
subsystems are not rendered obsolete, a considerable cost savings is realized. In
addition, no down time results from this port expansion since the switch network is
not changed.
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-13

New Revenue Sources
Grade of Service (GOS) Offerings

2.27 The TITAN 5500/S system allows the service provider to define different
grades of service to offer its customers and to tariff the grades of service
accordingly. This is possible because the service provider is not restricted to a
single alarm profile for the entire cross-connect system. When using the TITAN
5500/S system, the service provider can create up to 20 custom alarm profiles,
which can be assigned to monitor for a corresponding GOS on a per-facility basis.
The TITAN 5500/S system includes the following performance monitoring features:
• DS1 near- and far-end monitoring, per ANSI T1.403 and AT&T 54016
• E1 CST near-end monitoring
• VT1.5 path near- and far-end monitoring
• DS3 near-end and C-bit parity monitoring
• EC1 near-end section and line monitoring
• STS1 path near- and far-end monitoring
• STS3C path near- and far-end monitoring
• full-time performance monitoring (versus scanned or part-time

camp-on)
• performance monitoring is available for the following termination

types:
- OC-12
- OC-3
- STS3C
- EC-1s
- STS1s
- DS3s
- DS3 constituents
- DS1s
- E1 constituents
- DS1 constituents
- VT1.5 constituents
• performance monitoring provisionable on a per-termination basis
• no additional switch network capacity or special modules required
2.28 For additional information, refer to Alarm Profiles in Section 3 of the TITAN
5500/S Technical Description, 76.5500/3.

Customer Controlled Reconfiguration

2.29 The TITAN 5500/S system provides direct connectivity between the
customer’s premises and the public backbone network. In addition, when
controlled via a network management system, the TITAN 5500/S can play an even
larger role.
2.30 First, this equipment can be used for customer controlled reconfiguration
(CCR) arrangements. These service structures allow the subscriber control over
the network, greatly reducing the threat of bypass. A plan for implementing CCR is
shown in Figure 2.2.

2.31 Second, the TITAN 5500/S can quickly and economically restore networks
should transmission facilities fail. This feature not only improves the telephone
company’s service to end-users, but it also minimizes a potential loss of revenue.

CENTRAL DATABASE/
HEADQUARTERS
Tariffed Services Based on 2.32 The service provider can use the 82.5517A DS3/1-3/3 combination port
Usage and Configuration module, which provides the option of selecting DS3/1 or DS3/3 operation in a
single-port module, or the 81.5517C G.747 DS3 port module, which provides the
option of selecting DS3/1, DS3/3, or G.747 mapped E1 operation in a single-port
module, to control the delivery of wideband and broadband services. By using a
network management system, the service provider can turn this control over to its
customer. One example, which shows a group of branch banks and their head-
quarters interconnected by a communications network, is offered in Figure 2.3.
During normal business hours, the network is configured for wideband service
(DS1/VT1) for passing interbank communications. After business hours, the head-
quarters can access the network management system to reconfigure the network
for broadband service (DS3/SPE) to allow the transfer of ATM data into its central
database.
Page 1-16 5/02 76.5500/1, Rev I1

Network Development
2.33 Since SONET fiber optic transmission has become standard, service
providers must be concerned with compatibility between older existing equipment
and SONET network elements to take full advantage of the increased performance
and cost savings that SONET equipment provides. Because the TITAN 5500/S is
based on a SONET architecture, the interworking between the various standards
can be made easily.
2.34 TITAN 5500/S offers the following applications:
• migration from asynchronous DS3 networks to SONET networks
- minimizes replacement cost when outside-plant metallic cable is

replaced with fiber optic cable to increase facility throughput
• DS3/3 EDSX functionality
• 82.5517A combination port module (DS3/1 or DS3/3, configurable

from the same module)
• 81.5517C G.747 DS3 port module (DS3/1, with the ability to terminate
DS1s or E1 CSTs, or DS3/3, both configurable from the same module)
• expansion to 2048 SDF and 3072 SDF equivalents
• Intelligent Network Element (INE)-to-INE Communication (for

example, TITAN 5500/S used as a gateway network element)

W-DCS and B-DCS Functionality

2.35 The TITAN 5500/S can provide Wideband DCS (W-DCS) and Broadband
DCS (B-DCS) functionality. A W-DCS is any DCS that has a switch-network
capable of passing signals with a VT1.5 bandwidth, whereas a B-DCS has a switch
network that can pass signals equal to or greater than DS3. Refer to Table 2.1.

2.36 The following paragraphs describe how the TITAN 5500/S system
implements the W-DCS and B-DCS functions.
W-DCS Cross-connection
DS1/1 Port Modules 2.37 The TITAN 5500/S, when equipped with DS1/1 port modules, terminates
DS1 facilities and passes the contained information intact (without reducing it to
DS0 channels) into its internal switch network. These signals are repackaged as
though each DS1 were a Virtual Tributary (level VT1.5) of a SONET payload enve-
lope so that they can pass through the switch network for cross-connection to other
outgoing DS1 facilities.
DS3/1 Port Modules 2.38 The TITAN 5500/S, when equipped with DS3/1 port modules other than
the 81.5517C, terminates DS3 facilities and separates the information contained in
each facility into 28 discrete DS1 CST signals. These 28 DS1 CST signals from
each facility are then passed by the switch network for cross-connection to different
outgoing DS1 or channelized DS3 facilities.
Page 1-18 5/02 76.5500/1, Rev I1

DS3/3/1C Port Modules 2.39 The TITAN 5500/S, when equipped with 81.5517C G.747 DS3/1 port
modules configured for DS3/1 mode, terminates DS3 facilities and separates the
information contained in each facility into 28 DS1 CST signals. These 28 DS1 CST
signals from each facility are then passed by the switch network for cross-connec-
tion to different outgoing DS1 or channelized DS3 facilities.
2.40 The TITAN 5500/S, when equipped with 81.5517C G.747 DS3 port
modules and 81.5519A time slot interchange modules configured for E1 mode, ter-
minates DS3 facilities and separates the information contained in each facility into
21 E1 CST signals, 28 DS1 CST signals, or a mixture of the two. These signals
from each facility are then passed by the switch newtork for cross-connection to
diferent outgoing DS1, E1 CST, or channelized DS3 facilities.
OC-3, OC-12, and STS-1E 2.41 The TITAN 5500/S, when equipped with OC-3, OC-12, and/or STS-1E port
Port Modules modules, terminates channelized SONET STS1 Synchronous Payload Envelopes
(SPEs) and separates the information contained in each payload into 28 discrete
VT1.5 signals. The switch network then passes these signals for cross-connection
to different channelized STS1 SPE components of STS-1E, OC-3, or OC-12
facilities.
Transmux Functionality 2.42 The Transmux feature allows the cross-connection of the DS1 constituents
of a channelized DS3 signal that is embedded within an STS1 SPE. This feature is
implemented by equipping an OC-3 or OC-12 optical port shelf with either 5544A/
5545A or 5544T/5545T mapping modules or equipping an STS-1E port shelf with
5520T TMUX modules.
B-DCS Cross-connection
DS3/3 Port Modules 2.43 The TITAN 5500/S, when equipped with DS3/3 port modules, terminates
DS3 facilities in order to pass the contained information intact into its switch
network. This DS3 signal, which is now repackaged as though it were an STS1
SPE, passes through the switch network for cross-connection to other outgoing
DS3 facilities.
OC-3, OC-12, and STS-1E 2.44 The TITAN 5500/S, when equipped with OC-3, OC-12, or STS-1E port
Port Modules modules, terminates nonchannelized STS1 SPEs and passes them intact through
the switch network for cross-connection to different nonchannelized STS1 SPE
components of STS-1E, OC-3, or OC-12 facilities.
2.45 When the TITAN 5500/S includes OC-3 port modules, each port module
terminates one OC-3 facility and extracts the three constituent STS1 signals for
cross-connection.
2.46 When the TITAN 5500/S includes OC-12 port modules, each port module
terminates one OC-12 facility and extracts the 12 constituent STS1 signals for
cross-connection.
2.47 STS3C payloads of OC-3 or OC-12 signals can be cross-connected intact,
beginning with FP5.0. This functionality is provided by the use of MM3A, MM3B, or
MM3T mapping modules in the associated optical port shelves.

General Description 3. Applications
3. Applications
3.01 TITAN 5500/S digital cross-connect systems offer many benefits in current
applications, yet they can be the basis for future expansion in terms of both size
and functionality. The following typical applications exemplify the special benefits
available with TITAN 5500/S systems:
• SONET OC-12, OC-3, and EC1 section and line termination
• DS1 and DS3 applications that anticipate migration from an existing

asynchronous network to the SONET network
• partitioning features
• replacement of back-to-back M13 muldems
• DS1 and VT1.5 drop-and-insert multiplexing
• replacement of manual DSX-1 and DSX-3 cross-connect panels
• ASIST feature applications
Migration From Asynchronous Network to SONET

3.02 Since its introduction into the market, the TITAN 5500/S system has
continued to expand in functionality to assume greater equipment functions
required in the Central Office (CO) environment. Figure 3.1, page 1-22, for
example, shows the equipment configuration of a central office prior to the intro-
duction of the TITAN 5500/S system. At that time, all facilities terminated on the CO
were ultimately demultiplexed to the DS1 level and then terminated on a DSX-1
panel. In its initial application, the TITAN 5500/S was configured as a wideband
DCS to replace the M13 multiplex equipment and the DSX-1 distribution panel, as
shown in Figure 3.2, page 1-23. The TITAN 5500/S was then configured for broad-
band DCS operation in addition to wideband service, by the addition of DS3-intact
and STS-1E interfaces. At that point, it replaced the DSX-3 distributing panel, in
addition to the M13 and DSX-1, which allowed the CO to interface with the SONET
network. Later, SONET OC-3 and OC-12 port modules were developed and the
TITAN 5500/S replaced the discrete fiber optic terminals. Now, the functions of
DSX-1, M13, DSX-3, SONET electrical interface, and SONET optical interface are
provided by a single machine with centralized control of provisioning and configu-
ration, testing, performance monitoring, maintenance, and diagnostics.
3.03 The TITAN 5500/S system embodies adaptive architecture in the transport
medium to provide a foundation for migration from the existing asynchronous
network to SONET. In this regard, TITAN 5500/S can be used to interface existing
metallic, satellite, or digital radio facilities to the synchronous optical network. For
example, it can interface any single DS3 facility to a SONET OC-3/12 facility. It can
also connect multiple DS3 facilities and then interface the resulting composite to
an equivalent outgoing SONET OC-3/12 facility.

3. Applications General Description
3.04 As SONET is the accepted standard, there are many sound reasons for
installing a TITAN 5500/S system. For example, Figure 3.2, page 1-23, through
Figure 3.4, page 1-24, show how the TITAN 5500/S system can be used in place
of various FOT, DSX-3, M13, and DSX-1 equipment. This eliminates a sizable
amount of inflexible equipment and offers the following other advantages:
• increases port capacity up to 3072 DS3 equivalent ports without
interrupting service
• integrates optical interfaces
• supports standardized SONET fiber optic transmission, as follows:
- allows compatibility within a multivendor fiber optic environment

(payload and DCC midspan meet)
- reduces operating and maintenance costs due to the full compat-
ibility with network management systems
- transports existing asynchronous elements such as DS3 within
the synchronous network
- provides extended synchronous add/drop capabilities
- allows remote testing
- allows remote provisioning, downloading, and control
- monitors centralized performance
- provides high circuit reliability via 1:x module redundancy and
facility protection

Unidirectional Path Switched Ring (UPSR) Applications

3.05 Using TITAN 5500/S at the hub office and end office locations of a high-
capacity SONET-based digital network provides complete protection against
facility failure, as illustrated in Figure 3.5. By using a UPSR configuration to
connect the end offices to the hub office, a break that occurs at any point on the
ring is bypassed automatically by reconfiguring the direction of traffic flow.

Access Ring Node

3.06 The TITAN 5500/S participates as a node in survivable ring network
architectures by replacing the OC-3 and OC-12 Add/Drop Multiplexers (ADMs) in
the central office. The use of the TITAN 5500/S results in increased capital savings
and ease of control. The greater the number of ADMs replaced in an office, the
greater the savings. Since hub offices and larger end offices often have multiple
rings terminating within the building, the TITAN 5500/S system can economically
replace many of the ADMs. Additionally, when the TITAN 5500/S system
constitutes a node on several rings, the provisioning and surveillance of those rings
is accomplished more easily because the rings are accessed through a single,
centralized control point (the TITAN 5500/S system).
3.07 Two basic types of facilities exist in the office-to-office transport network,
Interoffice Facilities (IOF) and access facilities. IOFs typically carry high bandwidth
signals (mainly OC-48, but some OC-192) and are usually deployed in Bidirec-
tional Line Switched Rings (BLSRs). Access facilities (feeder plant) are lower
speed signals (OC-3 and OC-12) commonly structured in Unidirectional Path
Switched Ring (UPSR) topologies. Figure 3.6 depicts both IOF and access facili-
ties and shows where they are typically found in the network. This figure describes
the case of a typical Local Exchange Carrier (LEC).

circuits between both rings and the TITAN 5500/S. An evolution of the architecture
shown in this drawing is to place the TITAN 5500/S on the access UPSR. Figure
3.7, page 1-26, shows this structure.

TITAN 5500/S UPSR Node Functionality

3.09 As a node in a UPSR, the TITAN 5500/S duplicates the functions provided
by the ADM in the network, and it complies with W-DCS ring requirements. These
functions include but are not limited to the following:
• optical interfaces at OC-3 and OC-12 rates
• path selection at STS3C, STS1, and VT1.5 levels, per GR-1400
• pass-through, add/drop, and drop-and-continue modes are supported

at STS3C, STS1, and VT1.5 levels
• connection of ring traffic to any supported interface type, including
another ring
• support for TARP per GR-253-CORE
• support for DCC Gateway functions such as:
- TL1 messages over TELNET over TCP/IP to TL1 messages over

OSI
- TL1 messages over TCP/IP to TL1 messages over OSI
- TL1 messages over X.25 to TL1 messages over OSI
- TL1 messages over async RS-232 to TL1 messages over OSI

UPSR Interconnection Using 3.10 By interconnecting multiple rings, the TITAN 5500/S can be used as a
the TITAN 5500/S SONET bandwidth manager for grooming VT and STS paths among several
UPSRs. This results in increased bandwidth utilization in the network and reduced
capital expenditures through the replacement of central office ADMs. Figure 3.8,
page 1-28, shows how the TITAN 5500/S performs the UPSR interconnection.
3.11 Notice in Figure 3.8, page 1-28, that the path selectors are located at the
drop-off points of the UPSR. Drop-off points are located where the signal is sent to
the end user and between the rings. Interconnection and bandwidth management
between the rings is contained within the TITAN 5500/S. Although only two rings
are shown in Figure 3.8, page 1-28, many rings may be economically intercon-
nected at the STS1 SPE or VT1.5 level using the same TITAN 5500/S system.
Note: For optical interfaces, protection pairs (UPSR or point-to-point) are located
on the same shelf, and the protection mechanism is implemented within
the mapping modules on the shelf. The switch matrix is not used for facility
protection.

3.12 An application that offers even greater protection involves dual-homed

UPSRs with the rings linked by two TITAN 5500/S systems located in different
central offices. This application features the TITAN 5500/S configured for the drop-
and-continue mode. Refer to Figure 3.9, page 1-29. Drop-and-continue is analo-
gous to the combination of add-drop with pass-through functions. It provides iden-
tical data paths through both interconnections between the rings.

Upgrading Ring Networks 3.14 Additional applications of the TITAN 5500/S UPSR capability include the
following:
• upgrading from point-to-point circuits to two-node ring circuits
• replacing the ADM
• adding TITAN 5500/S optical shelves to existing rings
• converting asynchronous circuits to SONET circuits
• increasing ring data-rate, such as upgrading OC-3 to OC-12
3.15 The procedures and tools provided with the TITAN 5500/S combine an in-
service, non-traffic-affecting capability with the ability to back out of an
unsuccessful upgrade attempt. With these capabilities, the TITAN 5500/S can be
used in the hub to control the smooth transition to ring circuits.

Enhanced Fault Indication/Fault Escalation (EFI/FE)

3.16 SONET ring interconnection uses dual homing to prevent a single point of
failure from causing a loss of traffic. Despite the redundant ring interconnection
associated with dual homing, a single point of failure can cause a loss of traffic in
two cases:
• failure of the cable or fiber connection between the W-DCS and a ring
ADM
• failure of an ADM connected to the W-DCS
3.17 In either of the above cases, the failure results in a switch to the traffic
being carried by the ring interconnect that still has a valid signal. However, if the
“failed” traffic is mapped into a “good” transport signal, the switch does not occur
because the failure is not detected by the ADMs.
3.18 Figure 3.11, page 1-32, illustrates this problem. A cut of the DS1 cable at
“X” is detected by the W-DCS as a Loss of Signal (LOS). The W-DCS would then
map DS1 AIS into a “good” VT, which in turn would be mapped into a “good” STS1
SPE. The ADMs on the STS switched ring would not switch to the other STS signal
because the ADMs have no way of detecting the “bad” DS1. Functionality within
the W-DCS enables the ADMs to detect the failed payload. Two modes of pro-
cessing are available:
• Regular Fault Indication (FI). The FI mode (called SONET PDI in
FP4.0) informs the STS ring that one of the VTs within an STS1 SPE
is “bad.” The mechanism uses the Payload Defect Indication (PDI)
option of the STS1 Path Signal Label. A module transmits PDI for
regular FI when that module detects VT AIS coming from the switch
core. Regular FI only applies to VT level cross-connects.
• Enhanced Fault Indication/Fault Escalation (EFI/FE). EFI/FE consists

of two methods of propagation, Enhanced Fault Indication (EFI) and
Fault Escalation (FE), as defined in the following two paragraphs:
- Enhanced Fault Indication. EFI uses PDI to signify that a trans-

port-level SONET signal contains a problem within the payload.
This applies to numerous detected fault types and many combina-
tions of transport level SONET signals and payloads. For
example, STS PDI results from a DS3, DS1, or VT problem within
that STS. Also, VT PDI results from a DS1 problem within that VT.
Given these indications, a facility protection switch can occur
based on faulty payloads. For path switched rings, PDI triggers a
switch at the ADM node where the signal drops from the ring (node
A in Figure 3.11, page 1-32). For line switched rings, PDI triggers
a switch at the ADM where the signal is added to the ring (node B
in Figure 3.11, page 1-32).
- Fault Escalation. FE uses AIS at the transport signal level to indi-
cate a payload problem within the transport signal. For example,
STS AIS results from a DS3, DS1, or VT1 problem within that
STS1 SPE. Also, DS3 AIS or LOS results from a DS1 problem
within the DS3. Likewise, VT AIS results from a DS1 problem
within the VT. In this case, FE must be supported because not all
ADMs can detect the PDI used in regular FI.
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-31

• Fault Escalation/Indication Enhancements (FEIH). FEIH provides fault

escalation when loss of frame is detected on all facilities that support
fault escalation. The system is able to differentiate an all-ones
(unframed) AIS signal from a loss of frame such that system behavior
is correct when the fault received parameter is set for non-AIS faults.

3.19 The system can be configured at a system level for either regular fault
indication or for EFI/FE but not both.
3.20 In regular fault indication each STS1 supports a parameter called the fault
propagation control attribute, which is similar to the PDI enabled/disabled attribute
in FP4.0. However, PDI is enabled and disabled at the module level in FP4.0,
whereas it is configured on a termination basis in FP4.1 and beyond. As in FP4.0,
this mode transmits PDI from the STS-1E modules and MM3 modules.
3.21 EFI/FE enables both enhanced fault indication and fault escalation. This
mode allows the user to set two attributes on a relevant termination: which types of
faults detected on the receive side trigger fault propagation and which type of prop-
agation will be used on the transmit side. The receive side (fault received attribute)
can be configured to no faults detected, all faults except AIS, and all faults. The
transmit side (fault propagation control attribute) can be configured to disable fault
propagation, to transmit PDI for enhanced fault indication, and transmit AIS, as well
as LOS for DS3, for fault escalation. The EFI/FE mode is supported by 5544A/
5545A and 5544T/5545T mapping modules, the 82.5520 STS-1E module, the
81.5520T STS-1E module, DS3 modules (with the exception of the 81.5517), and
all DS1 modules.
Enhanced PDI Functionality 3.22 Beginning with FP5.0, ANSI-compliant PDI is supported on all synchro-
nous-to-synchronous and asynchronous-to-synchronous interconnect applications
for the TITAN 5500/S. Fault escalation between SONET facilities and asynchro-
nous facilities is also performed.
3.23 To ensure that the instance never occurs where some modules are in the
regular fault indication mode and some are in the EFI/FE mode, when the system
switches modes it is required to transition through an intermediate state. When the
system is placed in this intermediate state, all modules automatically configure with
the fault received attribute set to none and the fault propagation control attribute
set to disabled.

Data Communication Networks

3.24 The DCC transported on a SONET optical facility can be used to link a
DCN to remote SONET network elements. Figure 3.12, page 1-34, shows a high-
level description of this application.
3.25 Beginning with the FP5.1, with implementation of DCC, the system sup-
ports AITS or acknowledged protocol. This ensures that the receiver is ready prior
to transmission and also assists in ensuring all packets are received.
3.26 Because of its strategic location in the transmission network, the TITAN
5500/S must perform routing functions. In Figure 3.12, page 1-34, the TITAN
5500/S routes messages destined for the remote ADM in the access ring from the
Ethernet port to the appropriate DCC connected to that ADM. When the system is
configured using 81.5549/A DPMs, the TITAN 5500/S acts as an Intermediate
System (IS). This allows it to use only layers one through three of the seven-layer
stack defined by OSI. It does not access the data contained within the packet but
simply routes it to the remote ADM, utilizing the OSI protocol. This feature is sup-
ported beginning with FP4.1. Since TCP/IP and OSI protocols can be run simulta-
neously beginning with FP6.1, an external mediation device is no longer
necessary.
5549A Data Communication 3.27 When the system is configured using 81.5549A DPMs, beginning with
Channel (DCC) Processor FP6.1.x, distributed routing capabilities are added. The 5549A module has the
Module (DPM) same functionality as the 5549 with the added capability of routing and further pro-
cessing of the DCC data rather than passing it on to the CPM. This enhancement
makes the 5549A a fully standard OSI router. It accesses the data link fields in the
SONET overhead and routes the OSI packets among other DCCs and its Ethernet
port. Distributed routing allows a separate router to be used for each optical shelf.
The 5549 and 5549A can be mixed on the same DCC LAN run as long as that DCC
LAN run is configured properly.
Routers 3.28 Distributed routing via the 5549A DPM allows the TITAN 5500 system to
be configured as multiple level 2 routers. When configured as a level 1 router, data
is received and routed to the Network Elements (NEs) in that area. When config-
ured as multiple level 2 routers, communication is possible with other OSI routers
in other areas. This allows the TITAN to act as a central node for subdividing the
OSI network into areas, which increases the number of DCC nodes that can be
served by one TITAN system. Refer to Figure 3.13, page 1-35.
Note: For more information concerning routers, refer to the TCP/IP and DCC
Activation Manual, 76.5500/46.

End-system Capability 3.29 In addition to simply passing DCC data, the TITAN 5500/S system can
terminate DCCs for remote access in compliance with GR-253-CORE. This pro-
vides a gateway between TITAN 5500/S administrative links (X.25, asynchronous,
and Ethernet) and remote SONET network elements via the SONET DCC.
3.30 End-system capability is supported beginning with FP5.0. It includes, but
is not limited to, remote login. Remote login is supported using TL1 commands,
with command forwarding capability based upon TIDs located within commands.
The TITAN 5500/S-to-DCC interface supports conversion between ASCII TL1 over
RS-232 to TL1 over OSI over the DCC, and back. It also supports conversion
between TL1 over X.25 to TL1 over OSI over the DCCs, and back.
Support Protocol 3.31 The system supports simultaneous use of OSI, TCP/IP, X.25 and Asyn-
Conversions chronous RS-232 communication protocols/interface standards. The following
conversions are supported:
• TL1 messages over TELNET over TCP/IP to TL1 messages over OSI
• TL1 messages over TCP/IP to TL1 messages over OSI
• TL1 messages over X.25 to TL1 messages over OSI
• TL1 messages over async RS-232 to TL1 messages over OSI
3.32 Distributed routing creates many configuration options, which are

described in detail in the System Administration Manual, 76.5500/9.
3.33 Beginning with FP6.0, the TITAN 5500/S uses two 80.5530D Communica-
tion Interface Panels to support a total of six Ethernet interfaces to a customer com-
puter network. Any of the three redundant Ethernet interfaces can support an OSI
link to support CPM to DPM communication providing the SONET DCC communi-
cation within the TITAN 5500. One of three redundant Ethernet interfaces can
provide a high-speed TCP/IP administrative link.
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-35

3.34 The Auto Link feature is supported beginning with FP6.0. Auto link allows
a user the capability to auto configure the channel. Upon connection by a valid user
when the auto link function is activated for the system, the system will automatically
configure an X.25 SVC, bypassing the system’s security for login.
Partitioning
3.35 Partitioning is a feature that allows users to limit access to facilities and
functions of the TITAN 5500/S system. With this partitioning feature, service pro-
viders can provide access to selected aspects of TITAN systems to customers and
other service providers for provisioning, performance monitoring, and alarm sur-
veillance capabilities.
3.36 The partitioning function is currently available under two classes: Vertical
and horizontal. Vertical partitioning refers to limiting or restricting use access to
certain functionalities of the TITAN 5500/S by designating which commands a user
can or cannot enter. This feature is currently available on TITAN systems. Hori-
zontal partitioning, introduced with FP7.0, refers to limiting or restricting users to
configure only designated facility groups on TITAN 5500/S systems.

Converting M13-DS3-Mapped SPEs to DS1-Mapped VTs

(Tellabs Transmux Application)
3.37 At the point of transition between a LEC and an IXC, the IXC may have an
infrastructure consisting mainly of DCSs and multiplexers. The IXC may require
that the hand-off occur at the DS3 level. The LEC may then encapsulate the DS3
in a SONET payload for transport through its network. When the encapsulated DS3
reaches the LEC hub office, the DS1s within that DS3 may require grooming. This
can be done by terminating the SONET signal on an ADM, and then dropping the
resultant DS3 onto a W-DCS for grooming. Because the TITAN 5500/S can inter-
face with SONET facilities and can reside upon a UPSR, the ADM can be
eliminated when the W-DCS is implemented using a TITAN 5500/S functioning as
a transmux. An added benefit of the TITAN 5500/S solution is increased reliability,
depending upon the application, since the transmux function may be coupled to
PDI.
3.38 Beginning with FP5.0, the transmux application can be implemented
without the DS3/3 and DS3/1 port modules, saving the cost of two port modules.
This implementation, illustrated in Figure 3.14 requires the use of MM3A or MM3T
modules (in place of MM3 modules) in the affected optical port shelves.
3.39 For systems running FP6.1, the transmux application is available on the
STS-1 550E port shelves when configured with the 81.5520T STS-1E TMUX port
module.

3.40 The TITAN 5500/S system equipped with DS3/1 port modules can be used
to replace back-to-back M13 muldems and manual DSX-1 cross-connect panels.
Figure 3.15 shows a before-and-after view of this application. In addition to cost
savings resulting from equipment reduction, such a replacement allows the remote
setup of cross-connections (provisioning) and test access. This reduces the
amount of manual craft labor required, as well as the possibility of craft error that
might occur in the hard wiring of cross-connections on a distributing frame.
3.41 The TITAN 5500/S requires less physical space, less electrical power, and
less environmental control due to reduced heat dissipation compared to alternative
methods for implementing a 3/1 cross-connect. In addition, it provides the means
for monitoring a greater variety of performance parameters while consolidating
their data collection, and it also consolidates alarm and control signals at the telem-
etry interface. When used for Point-of-Presence (POP) interfacing and grooming,
electronic cross-connections of the TITAN 5500/S reduce cabling congestion,
while the system’s higher Mean-Time-Between-Failures (MTBF) provides greater
reliability for unmanned equipment locations.

DS1 Drop-and-Insert Multiplexing

3.42 A typical example of the simplicity afforded by the TITAN 5500/S approach
to drop-and-insert multiplexing is illustrated in Figure 3.16 through Figure 3.18,
page 1-40. Figure 3.16 shows a typical drop-and-insert application that was imple-
mented without the TITAN. Figure 3.17, page 1-39, shows a similar application that
was implemented using the TITAN 5500/S with DS3/1 port modules. Figure 3.18,
page 1-40, shows an even more simplified approach using the TITAN 5500/S with
SONET-interface ports.

Replacement of Manual DSX-1 and DSX-3 Cross-connect Panels

3.43 The TITAN 5500/S system can be used to replace M13 Multiplexers and a
manual DSX-1 cross-connect panel for point-of-interface DS1 switching.
Figure 3.19 shows a before-and-after view of the equipment used for this applica-
tion. Note that the M13 function is performed by equipping the TITAN
5500/S with one or more shelves of DS3/1 port modules, while additional shelves
of DS1/1 port modules are provided for DS1 termination.

3.44 One of the important benefits of this replacement is that the TITAN doubles
the maximum permissible cable length for DS1 lines to 1310 feet. Refer to Figure
3.20, page 1-41. This increase is possible because the TITAN 5500/S performs a
repeater function that outputs to the connecting equipment at the standard facility
transmit level, while regenerating all input signals to restore the level of those
received with reduced amplitude. Although an M13 MUX also performs this func-
tion, the signal must pass through a passive DSX-1 with no repeating capability.
Given the nominal DS1 amplitude and pulse shape requirements, the signal can
reliably travel only 655 feet. These benefits also extend to applications where the
use of DSX-3 cross-connect panels can be avoided by the installation of a TITAN
5500/S system, allowing the maximum permissible cable length for DS3 lines to
900 feet. Refer to Figure 3.21, page 1-41.

3.45 The benefits to be derived from the TITAN 5500/S EDSX-3 application are
summarized as follows:
• reduces restoration time (increases network survivability, in cases
such as disaster recovery)
• improves monitoring capability
• extends distance limitations for electrical cabling by a factor of two
• replaces manual-reverse-direction protection switches (assumes

facility diversification)

TITAN 5500/S ASIST (Triplet Management) Feature Applications

3.46 The Application Specific Integrated Software Tool (ASIST) feature
provides the TITAN 5500/S with the means to simplify a variety of network cutover
operations. It is specifically designed to assist in the following areas:
• central office cutovers from an analog to a digital switch
• trunk field upgrades
• central office equipment consolidation
• M13 patch field removal (back-to-back M13 replacement)
• first-generation cross-connect removal and replacement
• various other cutover functions
3.47 The ASIST software feature has been fully integrated into all platforms
beginning with FP3.2. It creates a triplet entity, which introduces a third termination
into an existing cross-connection between two terminations. A two-way cross-
connection in the TITAN 5500/S system is shown in Figure 3.22. Figure 3.23,
page 1-44, shows a triplet entity being added to the two pre-existing entities in the
cross-connection. Figure 3.24, page 1-44, shows the ability to test prior to cutover.
Once established, the triplet entity (DTO) can be used to create the cutover from
existing to new equipment, as shown in Figure 3.25, page 1-44.

MDX Triplet 3.50 A quad form of the triplet, called an MDX triplet, can also be created to
completely surround a network element to be removed, as shown in Figure 3.26.
The network element can then be removed from service in a single operation, as
shown in Figure 3.27. This method is often used to remove M13s or first generation
DCSs.
3.51 The system supports MDX where the four triplet terminations can be any
combination of DS1s and VTs where a DS1 is either a digroup or constituent of a
DS3 and a VT is a constituent of an STS-1E, OC-3, or an OC-12.
Reverse MDX (RMDX) 3.52 The system supports reverse MDX (RMDX), which is the converse (or
reverse) operation of the MDX function. The RMDX feature creates simultaneous
connections to old and new network elements via interim connections, allowing for
pre- and post-cutover testing of new equipment and allowing for transition to new
equipment without having to expand existing network elements in order to make
the cutover. Refer to Figure 3.28, page 1-46, and Figure 3.29, page 1-46.
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-45

3.53 This application uses a combination of a hard-wired interim OC-3 cross-

connection and an optical splitter to perform precut testing and incorporation of a
new NE, while allowing traffic through both the old and the new routing as long as
the interim connection is in place. The next step, which is beyond the scope of
RMDX, requires hard-wired reconfiguration on the interim OC-3 cross-connect to
fully incorporated the new NE after testing completion. The final step must be
engineered and accomplished using your company policies and practices.
3.54 Using a “reverse switch cut,” a single cross-connection between termina-
tions FROM and DTO is changed to two cross-connections: one from termination
FROM to TO, and another from termination XTO to DTO. Refer to Figure 3.28. One
command can cut a single connection, a range of connections, or the whole facility.

3.55 After the postcutover state is achieved, an optical splitter can be used to
bridge incoming traffic into the new NE and allow testing of the new facilities. Refer
to Figure 3.30. Use of the splitter and the OC-3 interim connections through TO
and XTO, enables connectivity between both NEs and the PSTN.

ASISTXpress (Product Feature Description)

3.57 Starting with FP7.0, ASISTXpress is an add-on capability for the ASIST
feature. ASISTXpress will allow authorized users to pre-provision their system’s
Connection Memory Map (CMM) for a Network Modernization procedure. After the
CMM has been pre-provisioned, a flash type cut can be performed to download the
new CMM to the network.
3.58 The ASISTXpress feature will make use of an alternate CMM, called the
ASISTXpress CMM, to be used to download a different connection scheme into the
Network Complex. Creating the ASISTXpress CMM by making a copy from the
main CMM is automatically done once the ASISTXpress procedure is started.
When the procedure is successfully completed, the ASISTXpress CMM is then
copied back to the active CMM, where it rejoins the system.
3.59 The system must be placed in a special local restoration mode for the
ASISTXpress procedure to be executed. The ASISTXpress CMM will be down-
loaded to the Network Complex elements only when a user has specified the
correct parameter values. The active CMM will be the default for downloads to the
Network Complex elements.
Note: Further applications of the ASISTXexpress feature are detailed in the

ASIST Manual, 76.5500/28.

General Description 4. Equipment Divisions Within TITAN 5500/S
4. Equipment Divisions Within TITAN 5500/S
4.01 As stated, the TITAN 5500/S system is composed of three functional

subsystems:
• facility interface (port) equipment
• control complex
• switch network
4.02 The above-mentioned functional subsystems bear a close correspon-

dence to the three physical divisions of equipment, shown in Figure 4.1, that
compose the TITAN 5500/S:
• port racks
• Administrative Complex (AC) rack
• switch Network Complex (NC) racks

4.03 These three physical divisions are shown in greater detail on the following
five pages in Figure 4.2, page 1-50, through Figure 4.6, page 1-54. The remainder
of this description is based on these TITAN 5500/S System Block Diagrams. The
underlying distribution of functional subsystems can be seen by following the signal
flow paths (arrows) that run between the module blocks in the diagrams.
Physical Details of 4.04 The three discrete rack-mounted-equipment groups that compose a
Equipment Division TITAN 5500/S interconnect via three kinds of system buses, namely SCF, SDF,
and DCC buses. Each type of bus has a format corresponding to its unique
function.
SDF Bus 4.05 The port racks connect to the switch network racks through SDF buses,
which are sent in groups of four transmit buses and four receive buses in a four-
fiber cable. Two transmit buses or two receive buses are sent on each fiber. SDF
buses transport traffic signals (payload) to and from the switch core. The number
of SDF buses required for connecting a given port rack to the switch network racks
equals twice the number of DS3 equivalent or STS1 equivalent port modules
(excluding redundant units) provisioned on that rack. This figure takes into account
both copies of the switch network. For example, a DS3 port shelf has 16 active port
modules (redundant modules are not counted); therefore, it connects to the switch
core through 32 fibers contained in 8 SDF cables (4 to copy A and 4 to copy B).

DCC LAN Bus 4.06 The DCC LAN bus, which operates at 10Mbps, links the SONET optical
port shelves to the AC shelves via 50-Ohm coaxial cable. Each LAN bus carries
DCC packets between the DCC processor modules in the optical port shelves and
the communication interface panels in the AC shelves.This bus uses the ANSI
802.3 protocol to route or terminate administrative control and performance signals
that pass on the SONET overhead, as directed by the address tag appended to
each signal.
SCF Bus 4.07 The SCF bus, which operates at 1Mbps, links the AC shelves to the switch
core and to all port shelves via shielded, twisted pair cable. This bus links all of the
system’s group controller modules (located in the port and switch network shelves)
to the system processor modules (located in the AC shelves), which are the
system’s main processors.
4.08 The AC rack connects to the port racks and to the switch network racks
through four SCF buses, two of which are redundant. Each SCF bus is a shielded,
twisted, metallic pair that carries digital data in a LAN-type format for administrative
control of DCS operation.
TITAN Infrastructure 4.09 The infrastructure of the TITAN 5500/S consists of replaceable plug-in
modules that are located in easily replaceable shelves. These shelves are fully
connected, including all fiber optic terminations, and they are mounted in 7-foot
high, 23-inch wide (nominal) equipment mounting racks with a total depth of 12
inches and 15 inches for network shelves in a 2048 or 3072 SDF system.
4.10 The switch network racks for a given copy of the switch network must be
installed together in adjacent rack positions. However, the two copies of the switch
network can be separated. The port racks may also be separated and located near
their facility terminations. In addition, the AC rack can be separated from the other
two types of equipment racks.
Administrative Complex Rack (AC)

4.11 The TITAN 5500 AC rack contains two identical AC shelves; one is redun-
dant. Refer to Figure 4.6, page 1-54. In addition, this rack contains the following
equipment: an alarm/test jack panel, a breaker/frame-alarm panel, and an optional
modem shelf. Each of these units will be described in a subsequent paragraph.
4.12 In the TITAN 5500S, the AC and the switch network are combined into a
single common equipment rack. This rack contains two identical AC shelves and
two identical combination switch network shelves. In addition, the rack contains an
alarm/test jack panel and a breaker/frame-alarm panel. An internal modem shelf is
not available in the TITAN 5500S. Except for the combination switch network
shelves that contain both end stage modules and center stage modules, the TITAN
5500 and TITAN 5500S use the same hardware and software.

Administrative Complex Shelf

4.13 The AC shelf, shown in Figure 4.7 is provided in duplicate for redundancy;
however, only one shelf is active at a time. (This does not apply to the links from
the inactive shelf to the administrative terminals; these are always active.) Each AC
shelf contains the following:
• one System Processor Module (SPM) used in the APM slot for
administrative functionality
• one Alarm Interface Module (AIM)
• one Synchronization Interface Module (SIM)
• one or two System Communication Modules (SCM 1 and SCM 2)
• one additional System Processor Module (SPM) used in the CPM slot
for communication functionality
- when the system is equipped for routing DCCs between optical

port modules and/or the system is equipped with Ethernet CO
LAN administrative links
- one Communication Interface Panel (CIP), attached at the rear of
the AC shelf for DCC connectivity
• one Data Storage Module (DSM)
- 81.5502C DSM with optical drive or an 81.5502D DSM with
PCMCIA drive
• two load-sharing power modules (PSAC)
- either module can power the shelf alone if the other fails

81.5501C System Processor 4.14 Beginning with FP7.0, the 81.5501C SPM is required in TITAN systems.
Module (5501C SPM) The 5501C SPM (APM functionality) houses the main control processor of the
TITAN 5500/S system. Its design is centered around the use of the 603e Power PC
microprocessor. In addition, it contains RAM memory and has four I/O ports for
interfacing to administrative links. The copy of the SPM in the standby shelf is syn-
chronized to the corresponding copy in the active shelf so that its backup copy of
the database and system configuration are always current.
Note 1: The 5501C SPM is backwards compatible with FP6.1 systems only. For
TITAN systems running FP6.0, the 5501B SPM is used.
Note 2: Beginning with FP7.0, the 5501C System Processor Module (SPM) is
required for use in the Administrative Processor Module (APM) slot (#4)
of the 550A Administrative Complex (AC) shelf. Also, either the 5501B
SPM or 5501C SPM can be used in the Communications Processor
Module (CPM) slot (#3) of the 550A AC shelf. For systems running
FP6.1, the 5501C SPM can be used in either APM or CPM slots. How-
ever, for systems running FP6.0, the 5501C SPM is not supported in
either the APM or CPM slot.
4.15 In addition to acting upon input from the administrative links, the SPM
(APM functionality) monitors and records status information for the entire system,
including those of the standby AC shelf. With all this information, the SPM (APM
functionality) selects which members of the AC are to be active. In addition, the
SPM (APM functionality) manages the database of the system, including its
storage in nonvolatile memory. The system can perform its primary transmission
function without the AC shelves, but none of the system characteristics can be
changed or monitored without them.
4.16 When the 5501B or 5501C SPM (CPM functionality) is in the CPM slot, the
SPM (CPM functionality) is the central control unit that supports DCCs or high-
speed communication channels (Ethernet links). The 5501B or 5501C SPM (CPM
functionality) communicates with DCC processor modules using an internal
network and external devices using Ethernet. The Ethernet link supports protocols
such as TCP/IP or Open Systems Interconnect (OSI). The 5501B or 5501C SPM
(CPM functionality) is not required unless DCC routing and/or an Ethernet CO LAN
is implemented.
Administrative Links 4.17 The administrative links provide administrative interfaces that connect the
system to the various organizations within a telephone company that perform the
operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (O A M & P) functions.
These functions include the following:
• system administration
• memory administration
• test access
• network maintenance
4.18 Section 6, System Administration Manual, 76.5500/9, describes the

administrative links in further detail.
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-57

81.5502C/D Data Storage 4.19 The entire database, including software generics, connection map, and
Module (5502C DSM or module configurations, is stored in nonvolatile memory in the 5502C/D DSM
5502D DSM) located in the AC shelf. Because the facility interface configurations and the
connection map require a large amount of memory, a hard disk drive is used for
nonvolatile storage, and a removable media drive is used for backup.
• The 5502C is equipped with an optical disk drive.
• The 5502D is equipped with a PCMCIA flash memory card drive.
4.20 The removable media drives allow for a Single Removable Media (SRM)
to create backups (optical disks or flash memory cards) for off-site storage. The
SRM combines three functions into one removable medium which eliminates the
need for frequent media swapping:
• Utility Mode (UM)
• backup disk
• software program
81.5504 Alarm Interface 4.21 The 5504 AIM interfaces the SPM (APM functionality) to the Alarm Inter-
Module (5504 AIM) face Panel (AIP). It provides register-based memory for the control signals
received from the associated SPM (APM functionality) and driver circuits for con-
trolling the alarm relays provided in the AIP. It also contains logic that prevents both
copies of the SPM (APM functionality) from being active at the same time.
Note: Beginning with FP7.0, the 5501C System Processor Module (SPM) is
required for use in the Administrative Processor Module (APM) slot (#4) of
the 550A Administrative Complex (AC) shelf. Also, either the 5501B SPM
or 5501C SPM can be used in the Communications Processor Module
(CPM) slot (#3) of the 550A AC shelf. For systems running FP6.1, the
5501C SPM can be used in either APM or CPM slots. However, for
systems running FP6.0, the 5501C SPM is not supported in either the APM
or CPM slot.
81.5506A System 4.22 The 5506A SCM provides an interface via an SCF link between an SPM
Communication Module (APM functionality) in the AC rack, and the 5512A/B Group Controller modules in
(5506A SCM) the switch network racks and port racks. This link distributes control throughout the
TITAN 5500/S system. The 5506A cannot be used in the SCM #2 slot.
81.5506B System 4.23 The 5506B SCM provides the same functionality as a 5506A. Beginning
Communication Module with FP6.0, the SCM #2 slot must have a 5506B SCM installed. The 5506B pro-
(5506B SCM) vides an interface via an SCF link between an SPM (APM functionality) in the AC
rack, and the 5512A/B Group Controller modules in the switch network racks and
port racks. This link distributes control throughout the TITAN 5500/S system.
81.5507A Synchronization 4.24 The 5507A SIM provides the TITAN 5500/S system with a Stratum 3E
Interface Module (5507A level clock for synchronization to a local Stratum 1 clock. It can operate in a free-
SIM) running mode, or it can be synchronized to incoming T1 lines. This module is
required for SONET facility interfacing and for DS1 timing insertion, and it is used
in systems with 1024 SDFs or fewer.
Page 1-58 5/02 76.5500/1, Rev I1

81.5507B Synchronization 4.25 The 5507B SIM provides the TITAN 5500/S system with a Stratum 3E
Interface Module (5507B level clock for synchronization to a local Stratum 1 clock. It can operate in a free-
SIM) running mode, or it can be synchronized to incoming T1 lines. This module is
required for SONET facility interfacing and for DS1 timing insertion, and it can be
used in systems of all sizes going forward from FP6.0. Systems with 2048 or 3072
SDFs require this module.
81.5534 and 82.5534/A 4.26 The 5534 PSAC provides filtered, regulated power from a -48V office
Power Supply-Administrative battery source (for example, breaker A and breaker B) to all of the equipment con-
Complex (5534 PSAC) tained in the AC shelf. Two modules are included and share the load equally. In the
event of failure, the remaining module carries the entire load alone. The 82.5534A
PSAC provides test jacks on the front panel.
5540 Alarm Interface Test 4.27 The 5540 AIP, shown in Figure 4.8 serves the following functions:
Panel (5540 AIP)
• Alarm reporting. The 5540 AIP accepts alarm signals from the 5504
AIM in the AC shelf and activates the appropriate relays to operate CO
alarms. Received visual alarms are also presented on the front panel
lamps.
• Manual inputs. Front panel push-buttons are provided on the AIP for
Alarm Cutoff (ACO) and lamp test.
• On premises (local) test port access. The AIP contains eight DS1 and
eight DS3 test port pairs (input and output), which are terminated in
dual-bantam jacks and WECo 358 jacks respectively. These local test
ports are provided for the convenience of craft personnel. Under
normal operation, the test jacks are wired directly to DS1 and DS3 or
EC1 facility ports.
• RS-232-C pass-through connector. The AIP contains two female

DB25 connectors. These connectors are located on the front panel
and are connected pin-for-pin to a second pair of connectors that plug
into one of the administrative links on each AC shelf. These are con-
venience receptacles for making temporary connections to craft video
display terminals.
4.28 Front panel lamps are provided to indicate the following conditions:
• critical alarm
• major processor alarm
• major alarm
• minor alarm
• ACO activated

5550 Breaker/Frame Alarm 4.29 The 5550 B/FAP, shown in Figure 4.9 provides battery filtering, wiring
Panel (5550 B/FAP) protection, and power distribution for up to four equipment shelves in a TITAN
5500/S equipment rack. The B/FAP includes eight circuit breakers located on the
front panel that allow the two power feeds of each shelf to be protected separately.
It also contains an incandescent lamp on the front panel for indicating problems in
the associated equipment rack. Four red LEDs on the front panel (one for each of
the four potential shelves) indicate the responsible shelf when a frame alarm is
generated. One additional red LED indicates the occurrence of a fault in the
breaker panel itself or that a breaker was tripped, while a green LED indicates good
power-feeds to the rack. In addition, an internal frame-alarm relay provides a
contact-closure output for operating the office aisle alarm when a fault occurs. One
5550 B/FAP is provided in every TITAN 5500/S equipment rack.

Switch Network Racks

4.30 The TITAN 5500 system switch network equipment racks provide the
cross-connection paths that interconnect between the two facility interface ports
associated with the external facilities to be cross-connected. Refer to Figure 4.5,
page 1-53. (In TITAN 5500S systems, the switch network resides in the common
equipment rack.) Connection map information for setting up these paths is gener-
ated from external commands processed by the AC rack. The port racks, which
physically contain the modules that interface to external transmission facilities,
communicate internally with the switch network racks via fiber optic buses that use
the SONET-compatible Tellabs SDF protocol. (Each SDF bus has somewhat
greater bandwidth than that of one SONET STS1 SPE to allow for additional
internal system self-diagnostics.) The switch network accepts SDF encoded lines
and switches them at VT equivalent rates.
Page 1-60 5/02 76.5500/1, Rev I1

Network Switching Level

4.31 The switch network complex consists of two identical online and active
switch network structures that can be configured for the N x SPE level or different
VT levels of switching. Switching at multiple levels is performed by defining the
network architecture to be independent of the type of traffic being passed. All
signals convert to SPE/VT format at the port module or mapping module in each
port shelf. SDF is used as the port-shelf interface to the switch core. The SDF,
based largely on the SONET standards, places all traffic into VTs (or multiple VTs)
in accordance with a common protocol. Each port module independently defines
the bandwidth characteristic of its data path through the switch network. The
DS3/3 (and above) port modules do this by concatenating VTs at the interface to
the input side of the switch network. The switch network can connect a DS3/3 port
only to a port that will keep its DS3 payload intact (for example, another DS3/3); it
cannot connect a DS3/3 port to a DS3/1 port since a DS3/1 port allows the VTs to
separate through the switch network. However, when a DS3/1 port is channelized
into 28 DS1s, it can be connected to any other port with DS1 channelization, such
as another DS3/1 or up to 28 DS1/1 ports, or it can be distributed to a combination
of DS3/1 ports, DS1/1 ports, or VT1.5 constituents of STS1. When a DS3/1 port is
channelized into 21 E1 CSTs (available only with the 5517C port module), it can
be connected to any other port with E1 CST channelization.
4.32 One unique characteristic of the TITAN 5500/S system is that the level of
digital switching is determined and accommodated at the facility interface port
module. As described earlier, a TITAN 5500/S can accommodate SONET signals
such as STS1 (51.84Mbps), DS1 signals (1.544Mbps), and existing DS3 signals
(44.736Mbps). The TITAN 5500/S formats incoming signals at the port module
(facility) interface prior to its routing via the TITAN switch network. In many ways,
the TITAN 5500/S facility interface ports operate as front-end processors, manipu-
lating signals into uniform speeds before they pass through the system.
4.33 This scheme, whereby the ports set their own switching bandwidth to
multiples of TVT (VT1.5 + overhead = 1.944Mbps), simplifies the operation of the
switch network, which consequently must perform switching only at the TVT level.
When greater bandwidth is required, the ports provide it by linking the necessary
number of TVTs in the signal passing into the switch network. The ability to switch
linked TVTs as a unit allows both DS3s and SONET SPE envelopes to pass
through the switch network intact.
TITAN 5500 Switch Network 4.34 The TITAN 5500 uses a distributed five-stage switch network whose
Architecture stages, in order of passage, are TSI, end-stage, center-stage, end-stage, and TSI.
The first and fifth stages (both TSI stages) reside in the port racks. The second,
third, and fourth stages reside in the switch network equipment racks. The second
and fourth stages comprise shelves of 5509 End Switch Modules shown in Figure
4.10, page 1-62, while the third stage comprises shelves of 5508 Center Switch
Modules, shown in Figure 4.11, page 1-62, or 5508A Center Switch Modules for
2048/3072 systems, shown in Figure 4.12, page 1-63. The links between the end
switch shelves in the switch network equipment racks and the TSI shelves in the
port racks are fiber optic cables that carry data in the SDF format.
4.35 The TITAN 5500S uses the same switch network architecture as the
TITAN 5500. However, in the TITAN 5500S, the end switch modules and the center
switch modules reside in the same shelf, called the combined switch network shelf.
Refer to Figure 4.13, page 1-63.

83.5524A Network Timing 4.36 Data must be synchronized in all five stages of the switch network to avoid
Distribution Module (5524A being corrupted as it passes. For this purpose, a 5524A NTDM generates a
NTDM) synchronizing signal that is routed to all three switch stages in the switch network
racks and, via the SDF fiber optic cables, to the remaining two stages (TSIs) in the
port racks. The 5507A/B Synchronization Interface Modules (SIMs) are required in
all systems. The SIMs require the use of the 83.5524A modules to synchronize to
the appropriate copy of the redundant references. The NTDM distributes system
communication from the GCM to all three stages of the switch core. The 83.5524A
NTDM is required for FP6.0.x and FP6.1.
83.5524B Network Timing 4.37 Expansion to 3072 SDF ports will require use of 83.5524B Network Timing
Distribution Module (5524B Distribution Modules (NTDMs). The 5524B module does not differ in functionality
NTDM) from its 5524A cousin, but it is also not backwards compatible in TITAN systems
preceding FP7.0. In addition, the 5524B can only be used exclusively within 2048
and 3072 layouts.
5512A/B Group Controller 4.38 The 5512A/B GCM is the intelligent interface between the AC and the
Module (5512A/B GCM) switch network. Based upon the 68000 microprocessor, the 5512A/B distributes
control among the different equipment racks of the TITAN 5500/S system. (The
5512A/B is also used for the group controller in the port racks.)
82.5535 and 83.5535/A 4.39 The 5535 PSNP module provides filtered, regulated power from a -48V
Power Supply Network and office battery source (for example, breaker A or breaker B) to all of the equipment
Port (5535 PSNP) contained in a switch network shelf. Two modules are included and share the load
equally. In the event of failure, the remaining module carries the entire load. The
83.5535A PSNP provides test jacks on the front panel.
5508 Center Switch Module 4.40 The 5508 CSM is the center stage of a five-stage network. In the CSM,
(5508 CSM) connections enter from the incoming ESM (stage 2) and are routed to an outgoing
ESM (stage 4). Connections in the CSM are established by the cross-connects set
up through the system. The 5508 CSM is used in 128, 256, and 1024 SDF sys-
tems.
5508A Center Switch Module 4.41 The 5508A CSM performs the same functions as the 5508 CSM, but the
(5508A CSM) 5508A CSM is used only in 2048 and 3072 SDF systems.
5509 End Switch Module 4.42 The 5509 ESM acts as stages 2 and 4 of the TITAN 5500/S five-stage
(5509 ESM) switch network complex. The system performs cross-connects by rearranging the
route and sequence of signals entering it, to reach the correct outbound facility.
The ESM is a space switch, meaning that it alters the routes of the signals instead
of their sequence. As stage 2, the ESM routes inbound signals. As stage 4, it routes
outbound signals. Each ESM interface with 32 SDFs worth of bandwidth from the
port.
5550 Breaker/Frame Alarm Panel

4.43 The 5550 B/FAP, identical to the unit used in the AC rack, is described in
paragraph 4.29, page 1-60.
Page 1-64 5/02 76.5500/1, Rev I1

Port Racks
4.44 The TITAN 5500/S system uses a minimum of one port rack. Each rack
contains up to four port shelves and one B/FAP.
• Each SONET port rack can terminate up to 4 OC-12 facilities, up to 16
OC-3 facilities, or up to 64 STS-1E facilities.
• Each DS3 rack can terminate up to 64 facilities.
• Each DS1 rack can terminate up to 896 DS1 facilities (port shelves of
any kind can also be mixed within the same rack).
4.45 The racks are connected to the AC rack (via SCF-format twisted pair) and
to the switch network equipment racks (via SDF formatted fiber optic cable). This
type of intrasystem connection allows up to 600 feet of separation between the port
racks and the rest of the system.

4.46 Various kinds of port shelves are available for the TITAN 5500/S. Facility-
level/switching-level (DS1/1, DS3/1, and DS3/3) differences account for the variety
of shelves. In the case of DS1/1, the circuit density affects the type of shelf needed.
Currently, the following four shelves are available:
• 81.0550M (550M) double-density DS1/1 port shelf
• 82.0550E (550E) DS3 or STS-1E port shelf (DS3/STS-1E via option

strap)
• 81.0550K (550K) OC-12 port shelf
• 81.0550JK (550JK) OC-3 to OC-12 conversion port shelf
4.47 Up to four shelves can be mounted in each port rack. Shelf types can be
mixed as desired within the same rack.

550E DS3 or STS-1E Shelf 4.49 The 550E shelf, shown in Figure 4.15, page 1-68, terminates up to 16 DS3
or STS-1E facilities and provides redundancy switching with 1:8 port module
redundancy. The shelf allows for either DS3 or STS-1E service via a jumper strap
on the backplane of the shelf. Refer to the Maintenance Manual, 76.5500/24, for
procedures to convert this shelf. The 550E contains the following module types:
• For STS-1E:
- For STS-1E, use up to eighteen 81.5520 STS-1E Port Modules

(PMEs), 82.5520 STS-1E Enhanced Port Modules (PMEs), or
81.5520T STS-1E TMUX Port Modules (PMEs), including two
redundant modules.
- The choice of module type depends upon desired features and
cross-connect levels. Refer to Port Module Compatibilities,
page 1-75.
- DS3 modules cannot be mixed with PMEs in the same shelf.
• For DS3:
- For DS3/1, use up to eighteen 81.5517 or 81.5517A DS3/1 port

modules, including two redundant modules. If 81.5517 and
81.5517A DS3/1 modules are mixed, the redundant module must
be an 81.5517A.
- For DS3/1 (Alternative), use up to eighteen 82.5517A DS3 combi-
nation port modules or 81.5517C G.747 DS3 port modules (E1
CST/DS1 functionality), including two redundant modules. The
81.5517C can be mixed in the same protection group with the
82.5517A only if the 5517C is not supporting E1 CST functionality.
If the 5517C is supporting E1 CST functionaltiy, all port modules
on the 550E DS3/1 shelf must be 5517Cs. In either case, the
redundant modules must be 5517C port modules.
- For DS3/3, use up to eighteen 81.5517B DS3/3 port modules,
including two redundant modules.
- For DS3/3 (Alternative), use up to eighteen 82.5517A DS3 combi-
nation port modules or 81.5517C G.747 DS3 port modules,
including two redundant modules. These modules can be mixed
with 81.5517B DS3/3 port modules provided that the two redun-
dant modules are 5517C port modules and the shelf/TSI is config-
ured for DS1 functionality.
• Ancillary port equipment required for either DS3 or STS-1E:
- up to sixteen 81.5518 T3 Line Interface Modules (5518 LIM3s),

one per facility
- two 5519 DS3/1 Time Slot Interchange modules (5519 TSI31s), or
two 5519A DS3/1 Time Slot Interchange modules (5519A
TSI31As) if the shelf is populated with 5517Cs
- two 5512A/B GCMs, including one redundant module
- two 5535/A PSNP modules

Port Shelf Module Descriptions

4.52 Each electrical port equipment shelf contains Line Interface Modules
(LIMs) and port modules whose quantity depends upon the quantity of facilities that
are terminated on the shelf. Optical port equipment shelves do not require LIMs. In
addition, the following modules are included as a pair for redundancy: time slot
interchange modules, group controller modules, and power modules. These
modules are described briefly in the following paragraphs. Refer to shelf descrip-
tions in the previous section, if necessary.
81.5514 or 81.5514A Quad 4.53 Each 5514 PM11 or 5514A PM11A resides in a 550D shelf and interfaces
DS1/1 Port Module to four DS1 facilities (via four LIM1s). It converts the signals received from these
(5514 PM11 and 5514A four DS1 facilities to a single Quad Tellabs Virtual Tributary (QTVT) formatted
PM11A) signal (approximately equal in bandwidth to four VT1.5s) for interfacing to an
associated Time Slot Interchange (TSI11) module. In addition, for each facility it
contains an independent performance monitor that synchronizes to the incoming
framing signal to permit the monitoring of all available performance parameters.
4.54 To permit transmission in the outgoing direction, the associated TSI
module passes a QTVT formatted signal into the 5514 PM11 or 5514A PM11A.
The port module separates the four DS1 signals contained in the QTVT signal and
passes each to a different 5515 LIM1 module for transmission on one of the four
interfacing DS1 facilities.
81.5514DD Double-density 4.55 Each 5514DD PM1D resides in a 550M shelf and interfaces to eight DS1
DS1/1 Port Module (5514DD facilities (via eight LIM1Ds). It converts the signals received from these eight DS1
PM1D) facilities into two QTVT-formatted signals for interfacing to an associated Time Slot
Interchange (TSI1D) module. In addition, for each facility, it contains an indepen-
dent performance monitor that synchronizes to the incoming framing signal to
permit the monitoring of all available performance parameters.
4.56 To permit transmission in the outgoing direction, the associated TSI1D
module passes two QTVT formatted signals into the 5514DD double-density
DS1/1 port module. The 5514DD separates the eight DS1 signals contained in the
two QTVT signals and passes each to a different 5515DD LIM1D module for trans-
mission on one of the eight interfacing DS1 facilities.
81.5515DD Double-density 4.57 Each 5515DD LIM1D resides in a 550M shelf and provides a line interface
T1 Line Interface Module to the facility. When a failure is detected on its double-density DS1 port module, it
(LIM1D) functions to provide routing of line-level signals to the redundant port module for
further testing and/or to restore service.
81.5516 DS1/1 Time Slot 4.58 Each 5516 TSI11 resides in a 550D shelf. It takes the outputs received
Interchange Module (5516 from the shelf’s 28 quad DS1/1 port modules and converts the output from each
TSI11) quadrant (group of 7 port modules) to a single SDF bus. Since there are four quad-
rants to a shelf, four SDF buses are generated for interfacing to an end switch
module located in one copy of the switch network. During the conversion process,
the TSI performs a time slot interchange on the contained DS1 signals. These
signals are then passed through the fiber optic cable to the switch network.
4.59 To permit transmission in the outgoing direction, each DS1/1 TSI module
receives four SDF buses (contained in one fiber optic cable) from an end switch
module in the switch network. The 5516 converts the optical signals to their elec-
trical equivalents and then performs a time slot interchange on the contained DS1
signals. Each of the four SDF buses obtained is sent to a different quadrant of quad
DS1/1 port modules via the shelf backplane wiring. Each of the shelf’s 28 port
modules repackages its portion of the 4 SDF signals into 4 DS1-formatted signals
and then sends them out on its 4 T1 facilities.
Page 1-70 5/02 76.5500/1, Rev I1

81.5516DD DS1/1 Time Slot 4.60 Each 5516DD TSI1D resides in a 550M shelf. It takes outputs received
Interchange Module from the shelf’s 28 double-density DS1/1 port modules and converts those outputs
(5516DD TSI1D) from each quadrant (group of 7 port modules) into two SDF buses. Since there are
four quadrants to a shelf, eight SDF buses are generated for interfacing to an end
switch module located in one copy of the switch network. During the conversion
process, the TSI1D performs a time slot interchange on the contained DS1 signals.
These signals then pass through two fiber optic cables to the switch network.
4.61 To permit transmission in the outgoing direction, each DS1/1 TSI module
receives eight SDF buses (contained in two fiber optic cables) from an end switch
module in the switch network. The 5516DD performs a time slot interchange across
8 SDFs with 28 VT1.5s each. The TSI then demultiplexes the SDF into QTVT
signals that are sent to the associated port modules via the backplane wiring. Each
of the shelf’s port modules converts the QTVTs into DS1-formatted signals and
then sends them out on its T1 facilities.
81.5517 or 81.5517A DS3/1 4.62 Each 5517 PM31 or 5517A PM31A resides in a 550E shelf and interfaces
Port Module (5517 PM31or to one DS3 facility (via a LIM3). It converts the signals passed on the DS3 facility
5517A PM31A) to seven DS2 signals, and then converts each DS2 to four DS1s. It packages the
resulting 28 DS1s (7 x 4) into an SDF for interfacing to an associated TSI module.
In addition, it contains a performance monitor that synchronizes to the incoming
framing signal to permit the monitoring of all available performance parameters.
module passes an SDF signal into the DS3/1 port module. The DS3/1 port module
separates the 28 DS1 signals contained in the SDF signal and multiplexes each
group of 4 DS1s up to a DS2 level. It then multiplexes the resulting seven DS2
signals up to a DS3 level, and then passes the resulting DS3 signal into the
associated 5518 LIM3 module for transmission on the interfacing DS3 facility.
4.64 The 81.5517 and 81.5517A are similar, except that in addition to all of the
features provided by the 81.5517, the 81.5517A provides full-time DS1
performance monitoring within a DS3 signal without affecting switch capacity.
81.5517B DS3/3 Port Module 4.65 Each 5517B PM33 resides in a 550E shelf and interfaces to one DS3
(5517B PM33) facility (via a LIM3). It converts the signals passed on the DS3 facility into SDF for
interfacing to an associated 5519 TSI 3/1 module. In addition, it contains a perfor-
mance monitor that synchronizes to the incoming framing signal to permit the mon-
itoring of all available performance parameters.
module passes an SDF signal into the DS3/3 port module. The DS3/3 port module
then passes the DS3 signal into the associated 5518 LIM3 module for transmission
on the interfacing DS3 facility.
81.5517C G.747 DS3 Port 4.67 Each 5517C PM331C resides in a 550E shelf and interfaces to one DS3
Module (5517C PM331C) facility (via a LIM3). Depending upon how it is optioned in software, it functions
either as a DS3/1 or DS3/3. Functioning as a DS3/1, the 5517C can provide a
combination of DS1 and E1 CST cross-connects simultaneously on a single card.
The DS1 and E1 CST cross-connects are provisioned at the DS2 level, either as 4
DS1s or 3 E1 CSTs, for a total of 28 DS1 terminations, 21 E1 CST terminations, or
a combination of the two. Functioning as a DS3/3, the 5517C converts the DS3
signal into a System Data Format (SDF) signal that provides a DS3-intact cross-
connect.
82.5517A DS3/1 or DS3/3 4.68 Each 5517A PM331A resides in a 550E shelf and interfaces to one DS3
Combination Port Module facility (via a LIM3). Depending upon how it is optioned in software, it functions
(PM331A) either as a DS3/1 or DS3/3, as explained in the preceding paragraphs.
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-71

81.5518 T3/EC1 Line 4.69 Each 5518 LIM3 resides in a 550E shelf. It provides a line interface to the
Interface Module (5518 LIM3) facility and functions when a failure is detected on its DS3 or STS-1E port module
to provide routing of line-level signals to the redundant DS3 or STS-1E port module
for further testing and/or to restore service.
81.5519 DS3/1 Time Slot 4.70 The 5519 TSI31 module resides in a 550E shelf and receives the outputs
Interchange Module (TSI31) (in SDF) of up to 16 DS3/1 or STS-1E port modules. The 5519 TSI31 performs a
time slot interchange on 28 VT1.5s contained within each of 16 SDFs. The SDF
signals of each pair are multiplexed to form a composite signal which is sent
through a separate fiber in one of four fiber optic cables to an end switch module
in the switch network. A total of 16 fibers (8 for the transmit direction and 8 for the
receive) in 4 fiber optic cables connect the 5519 TSI31 to its copy of the switch
network.
4.71 To permit transmission in the outgoing direction, each 5519 TSI31 module
receives eight outgoing fibers in four fiber optic cables from an end switch module
in the switch network, each fiber containing a composite of two multiplexed SDF
signals. The 5519 converts the optical signal on each fiber to its electrical equiva-
lent and then demultiplexes it to separate the two contained SDF buses. Each of
the 16 SDF buses obtained from the 8 outgoing fibers is sent via the shelf back-
plane wiring to the appropriate port module within the 16 DS3/1 or STS-1E port
modules associated with the 5519 DS3/1 TSI, where they are converted back to
the DS3 or channelized STS1 format and sent out on their facilities.
4.72 The 5519 TSI31 is also used in DS3/3 and STS-1E port shelves to inter-
face the port modules to the end switch shelves in the switch core.
81.5519A Time Slot 4.73 The 5519A TSI31A module resides in a 550E shelf and receives the
Interchange Module outputs (in SDF) of up to 16 DS3/1, DS3/3, or STS-1E port modules. The 5519A
(TSI31A) TSI31A performs a time slot interchange on 28 VT1.5s for a DS1 or 21 VT.5s for
an E1 CST contained within each of the 16 SDFs. The SDF signals of each pair
are multiplexed to form a composite signal which is sent through a separate fiber
in one of four fiber optic cables to an end switch module in the switch network. A
total of 16 fibers (8 for the transmit direction and 8 for the receive) in 4 fiber optic
cables connect the 5519A TSI31A to its copy of the switch network.
4.74 To permit transmission in the outgoing direction, each 5519A TSI31A
module receives eight outgoing fibers in four fiber optic cables from an end switch
module in the switch network, each fiber containing a composite of two multiplexed
SDF signals. The 5519A converts the optical signal on each fiber to its electrical
equivalent and then demultiplexes it to separate the two contained SDF buses.
Each of the 16 SDF buses obtained from the 8 outgoing fibers is sent via the shelf
backplane wiring to the appropriate port module within the 16 DS3/1, DS3/3, or
STS-1E port modules associated with the 5519A DS3/1 TSI, where they are con-
verted back to the DS3, DS1, E1 CST, or channelized STS1 format and sent out
on their facilities.
4.75 The 5519A TSI31A is also used in DS3/3 and STS-1E port shelves to inter-
face the port modules to the end switch shelves in the switch core.

STS-1E Enhanced Port electrical facilities, terminates the SONET section and line overhead, and maps the
Module (5520 PME) payload into the internal SDF. Each STS-1E port module interfaces to one EC1
facility (via a LIM3). It converts the signals passed on the EC1 facility into SDF for
interfacing to an associated 5519 TSI 3/1 module. In addition, it contains a perfor-
mance monitor that synchronizes to the incoming framing signal to permit the
monitoring of all available performance parameters.
module passes an SDF signal into the STS-1E port module. The STS-1E port
module then passes the STS-1E signal into the associated 5518 LIM3 module for
transmission on the interfacing EC1 facility.
4.78 The 81.5520 and 82.5520 are similar, except that in addition to all of the
features provided by the 81.5520, the 82.5520 also provides enhanced fault indi-
cation/escalation. When an error is detected in the incoming signal, the 82.5520
module inserts the appropriate error message into the port-to-port communications
(PCOMM) channel of the SDF signal sent to the cross-connected port. Subse-
quently, the transmitting termination can escalate the error via either PDI code or
AIS.

facility into one STS3 signal for interfacing to an associated MM3/A/B/T mapping
module.
4.81 To permit transmission in the outgoing direction, the associated MM3
module passes an STS3 signal into the OC-3 port module. The OC-3 port module
then converts the STS3 signal into an OC-3 signal for transmission on the inter-
facing OC-3 facility.
4.82 The 5542A is equipped with short reach optics, whereas the 5542B is
equipped with long reach optics. Both the 5542A and the 5542B are available with
FC, SC, or ST style optical connectors at the facility interface.
8x.5543A/B OC-12 Port 4.83 Each 5543A/B OPM12 resides in a 550K or converted 550 JK shelf and
Module (5543A/B OPM12) interfaces to one SONET OC-12 facility. It converts the signals passed on the
OC-12 facility into four STS3 signals for interfacing to four associated MM3/A/B/T
mapping modules.
4.84 To permit transmission in the outgoing direction, each of the four associ-
ated MM3 modules passes its STS3 signal into the OC-12 port module. The OC-12
port module then converts the four STS3 signals into an OC-12 signal for transmis-
sion on the interfacing OC-12 facility.
4.85 The 5543A is equipped with short reach optics, whereas the 5543B is
equipped with long reach optics. Both the 5543A and the 5543B are available with
FC, SC, or ST style optical connectors at the facility interface.

81.5544 Triple Mapping 4.86 Each 5544 MM3 module resides in an MM3 slot in a 550J, 550K, or 550JK
Module (5544 MM3) shelf. It receives one STS3 from either an OC-3 or an OC-12 port module. It con-
verts this STS3 signal into three SDF signals for interfacing to an associated 5546
TSIO module.
4.87 To permit transmission in the outgoing direction, the associated TSIO
module passes three SDF signals into the MM3 module. The MM3 module then
converts the three SDF signals into one STS3 signal that it passes into either an
OC-3 or an OC-12 port module.
4.88 The 5544 MM3 module permits cross-connections through the switch
network at the STS1 and VT1.5 levels and provides linear automatic protection
switching.

81.5546 Time Slot 4.97 The 5546 TSIO module resides in a 550J, 550K, or 550JK shelf and
Interchange Optical (5546 receives the outputs from five 5544/5545 MM3 modules (15 SDFs). If necessary,
TSIO) Module the TSI performs the network side redundancy switch to the redundant MM3 for a
failed MM3, thereby passing 12 SDFs to the time slot interchange section of the
TSI module. This can be thought of as receiving a spare set of three SDFs. The
TSI performs a time slot interchange on the 12 incoming SDF signals, and then
separates them into 6 pairs of SDF signals. The SDF signals of each incoming pair
are multiplexed to form a composite signal which is sent through one of three fiber
optic cables to an end switch module in the switch network. Refer to Figure 4.17,
page 1-77.

4.98 To permit transmission in the outgoing direction, each 5546 TSIO module
receives six outgoing fibers in three fiber optic cables from an end switch module
in the switch network, each fiber containing a composite of two multiplexed SDF
signals. The 5546 TSIO module converts the optical signal on each fiber to its
electrical equivalent and then demultiplexes it to separate the two contained SDFs.
The 12 SDFs thus obtained from the six outgoing fibers go through a time slot inter-
change and are arranged into four groups of three SDFs each, where each group
is a different set of SDFs. Each set is sent to a different 5544/5545 MM3 module.
If a failure occurs on one of the four receiving 5544/5545 MM3s, a switch occurs to
route that set to the redundant MM3 module (for conversion to an STS3C).

tion Channel (DCC) TITAN 5500/S system access to the data link fields embedded within the SONET
Processor Module (5549 overhead signal. Each OPM3 or OPM12 port module contains provision for the
DPM) insertion of SONET Data Link bytes into the first STS1 of the OC-3 or OC-12 frame.
The DPM bridges between the Link Access Protocol on D-channel (LAPD) entering
and leaving through the OC-3 or OC-12 port modules and the Logical Link Control
Class-1 Message protocol leaving the DPM through its on-board Ethernet LAN
port. Ethernet LAN packets containing DCC data are sent to the SPM in the CPM
slot in the associated copy (A or B) of the AC shelf for routing and further pro-
cessing. The LAN link from each DPM to the SPM is interfaced to the SPM by a
5530D Communication Interface Panel (CIP) on the associated AC shelf.
81.5549A Data Communica- 4.100 The 5549A DPM has the same functionality as the 5549 DPM. It also has

81.5512A/B Group Controller 4.101 The 5512A/B GCM resides in a 550D, 550M, 550E, 550J, 550K, or 550JK
Module (5512A/B GCM) shelf. This module is the intelligent interface between the administrative complex
equipment rack and a port equipment shelf. It is based upon the 68000 Micropro-
cessor, and it is used in distributing the control function among the different equip-
ment racks of the TITAN 5500/S system.
82.5535 and 83.5535/A 4.102 The 5535 PSNP resides in a 550D, 550M, 550E, 550J, 550K, or 550JK
Power Supply Network and shelf and provides filtered, regulated power from a -48V office battery source (for
Port (5535 PSNP) example, breaker A or breaker B) to all of the equipment contained in its shelf. Two
modules are included and share the load equally. In the event of failure, the
remaining copy carries the entire load. When failure is caused by a short circuit
across the load, the PSNP goes into current limiting to prevent being damaged. It
resumes normal operation when the short circuit is removed. The 83.5535A PSNP
provides test jacks on the front panel.

General Description 5. Maintenance Features
5. Maintenance Features
5.01 Maintenance features of the TITAN 5500/S system are divided into two
main categories, features pertaining to system integrity and features pertaining to
facility integrity. These categories are further divided as follows:
• System Integrity
- self diagnostics
- system internal alarm detection and reporting
- circuit redundancy
• Facility Integrity
- facility monitoring
- test access
- Performance Alarm Suspension (PASUSP)
- maintenance loopbacks
- SONET optical facility redundancy
System Integrity
5.02 System integrity deals with the functioning of equipment contained within
the port, switch network, and administrative complex equipment racks, as well as
in the cable that interconnects this equipment. System integrity is monitored by
running regularly scheduled self-diagnostic routines. It is preserved by providing an
alarm detection and reporting system to alert maintenance personnel promptly in
the event of a failure, and by providing circuit redundancy so that backup equip-
ment is always present and ready to take over in the event of equipment failure.
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-79

5. Maintenance Features General Description
Self Diagnostics
5.03 Self-diagnostic software initializes the TITAN system, continuously audits
system circuitry for failures, controls the switching between active and standby cir-
cuits, and aids in system troubleshooting. A series of tests are run during power-
up and during error recovery. During normal operation, the self-diagnostic software
continuously monitors system circuits and, if an error is found, controls the
switching of redundant circuitry. At this time, office alarms and error messages are
generated. The self-diagnostic software also includes tests that can be initiated
from the administrative interfaces to aid in troubleshooting and in isolating system
problems.
• A command is provided to execute on-demand software audits on a
specified entity.
• A command is provided to enter and edit software audit schedules for

an entity.
• Commands are provided to selectively inhibit and allow execution of

software audits for an entity.
• A command is provided to retrieve the software audit schedules and

execution status for an entity.
• All database integrity mismatches detected by scheduled software

audits are reported using an autonomous report output message.
• A command is provided to retrieve the autonomous report output mes-

sages from the system’s log file.
• A command is provided to filter the autonomous report output

messages for a user’s operations channel.
• Command abortion and emergency interrupt are supported for on-

demand and scheduled software data audits.
5.04 All scheduled software audits that require the DSM to be diagnosed are
delayed while the diagnostics are in progress.
• The system aborts the current instance of a scheduled software audit
and displays an error message if after one hour the required DSM(s)
is not available due to in progress diagnostics. The audit executes at
its next scheduled interval.
5.05 Software audits are available to verify database structure integrity (DBSI)
and connection map content integrity (CMCI).
• A scheduled and command-initiated network connection integrity audit
is provided to detect content integrity defects between connection
management system data stored on nonvolatile memory and the ESM
and on CSM and TSI switch network modules.
• A network connection integrity audit is automatically invoked on a

network module after the module has completed a successful memory
download.
• If a network module does not pass the network connection integrity

audit, a fault is generated against it and it is not allowed to transition to
the in-service state.
Page 1-80 5/02 76.5500/1, Rev I1

Hardware Diagnostics 5.06 When existing modules are replaced or new modules are added to the
system, diagnostics are performed automatically to verify that the new module is
properly connected and is fully operational. If the results indicate that the capability
of the module is in doubt, additional diagnostics can be requested manually to
further define the problem.
Module Identification and 5.07 Beginning with FP7.0, a new command has been added that aids techni-
LED Testing cians in identifying specific modules within a rack or system. This command will
assist in preventing traffic outages due to human error by helping users to physi-
cally target modules. The command can also be used to test Light Emitting Diodes
LEDs) on module spines; upon command, a specified module will flash its fault
LED and can be optioned to flash all its LEDs for testing purposes.
System Internal Alarm Detection and Reporting

5.08 System alarms are classified as critical, major processor, major, and
minor. Critical and major alarms are service-affecting alarms, while a minor alarm
is non-service-affecting. Since a coincident failure of both administrative processor
complexes, though not in itself service-affecting, can prevent other alarms from
being reported, a major processor alarm is provided to announce this condition.
This alarm should therefore be treated as a possible major alarm. When an alarm
of any of the four types occurs, an indication of the alarm is provided locally and
error messages are sent to the administrative interfaces. All alarm conditions are
software-configurable via the selection of an alarm profile.
5.09 The TITAN 5500/S system provides for the defining and storing of up to 22
different Alarm Profile tables for each of the following entities:
T1 E1 CST DS3 CST STS3C VT1 CST
DS1 CST T2 EC1 OC-3 Synch References
VT1 T3 STS1 OC-12 Equipment
5.10 All of these profile tables are unique and independent. This permits the
operating company to use its own standards for alarm reporting. Such profiles can
standardize alarm response across the more frequently occurring combinations of
facility type and varieties of service-degradation due to equipment malfunction.
These parameters may be assigned in various combinations with the four standard
levels of alarm reporting (critical, major, minor, and not alarmable) to develop up to
20 unique, numbered alarm profiles. Default conditions are provided for each level
of system alarm, as defined in the next four paragraphs. A table defining the default
alarm profile is provided in the TITAN 5500/S Technical Description, 76.5500/3.
5.11 A critical alarm signals the existence of a serious service-affecting fault.
Examples of serious service-affecting faults are a total power failure that affects
one or more equipment shelves; a service-affecting failure of an OC-12, OC-3,
STS-1E, or DS3 port module; or, in general, any alarm condition that is defined as
critical by the selected alarm profile.
5.12 A major processor alarm signals the condition in which the TITAN system
has no working administrative processors.
5.13 A major alarm signals the existence of a service-affecting fault. Examples
of serious service-affecting faults are any condition affecting system timing; a
service-affecting failure involving a T1, T2, or E1 CST facility; or, in general, any
alarm condition that is defined as major by the selected alarm profile.
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-81

5.14 A minor alarm signals the existence of a fault that is non-service-affecting.

Examples of non-service-affecting faults are a defective power converter; a defec-
tive module in a port equipment shelf; or, in general, any alarm condition that is
defined as minor by the selected alarm profile.
5.15 With all TITAN 5500/S feature packages, bit error rates are automatically
calculated and reported for different thresholds. Bit error rate calculations for both
standard framing and extended superframe format are performed using the algo-
rithms recommended by Telcordia.
Circuit Redundancy
5.16 TITAN 5500/S systems provide redundancy for all critical circuits and are
designed to virtually eliminate service interruptions. Redundant circuits are listed
and described below, according to their equipment rack locations.
Administrative Complex (AC) 5.17 The TITAN 5500/S redundancy strategy provides for the duplication of any
function that is vital to the operation of the AC rack. The equipment provided for
implementing redundancy is listed below:
• One AC is active while the other AC is in standby.
• The Removable Storage Drive (RSD) is duplicated for redundancy

(one copy is provided in each copy of the AC shelf). Since the Single
Removable Media (SRM) is replaceable, an extra SRM can be used
for offline backup of the system’s database. Depending on the type of
Data Storage Module (DSM) installed in the system, the SRMs are
either optical disks or flash memory cards.
• The Hard Disk Drive (HDD), which constitutes the system’s nonvolatile
memory, is duplicated for redundancy.
5.18 Software audits detect data inconsistencies between the active and
standby AC Primary Memory (PRI), Nonvolatile Primary Memory (NVMEMP), and
Nonvolatile Secondary Memory (NVMEMS) entities.
• A DISKSYNC condition is declared against the standby AC PRI
memory entity when loss of synchronization is detected with the active
AC PRI memory.
• The DISKSYNC condition is cleared when the data inconsistencies no

longer exist or the supporting DSM transitions to UEQ.
• A NVMEMP condition is declared against the PRI memory entity when

data inconsistencies are detected on the entity.
• A NVMEMP condition is cleared when the data inconsistencies no

longer exist or when the supporting DSM transitions to UEQ.
• A NVMEMS condition is declared against a SEC memory entity when

either an unsuccessful copy to the SEC memory entity occurs or when
data inconsistencies are detected on the entity.
• A NVMEMS condition is cleared from SEC memory when a successful

copy to the faulted SEC entity occurs or when data inconsistencies no
longer exist. It also clears when its supporting DSM transitions to UEQ.
• A SENA condition is posted against a PRI memory entity when its sup-
porting DSM transitions to ANR.
Page 1-82 5/02 76.5500/1, Rev I1

• A SENA condition is cleared from the PRI memory entity when its sup-
porting DSM transitions to NR.
5.19 The system does not allow an AC copy switch if the PRI entity is in an
abnormal state (ANR) on the standby AC.
Switch Network 5.20 The key points of the TITAN 5500/S system’s switch network redundancy
are as follows:
• Two equivalent switch networks are online simultaneously (1+1 redun-
dancy) to ensure that a backup is always available.
• Port modules select their input from a best-byte, best-clock compar-

ison of switch network output.
• The existence of two equivalent switch networks ensures that one will
be available to carry traffic while the other is being upgraded with a
feature enhancement or expanded to a greater capacity.
5.21 In TITAN 5500/S, two independent, equivalent switch networks (A and B)

are maintained for redundancy to ensure system integrity through the switch core.
Such redundancy is crucial to system-recovery from single-point switching failures.
Both copies of the network remain online simultaneously to allow immediate detec-
tion and correction of data errors within either switch network. Since the ports have
access to both switch networks simultaneously, they perform a best-byte, best-
clock analysis on the incoming data and select between them so that service is not
affected. The use of redundant switch networks also makes it easy to upgrade the
system; one network can be taken offline and upgraded, then put back online.
Similarly, the other switch network can be upgraded with no disruption of service.
Facility Interface (Port) 5.22 The key points of the TITAN 5500/S system’s port group redundancy are
Module as follows:
• 1:7 redundancy for DS1/1 and double-density port modules
• 1:8 redundancy for DS3/1, DS3, and STS-1E port modules
• 1:1 redundancy for SONET OC-3/OC-12 optical port modules
• 1:4 redundancy for 5544/A/B/T and 5545/A/B/T MM3 mapping

modules on each optical port module shelf
• redundant GCMs for each port module group
• redundant DCC processor modules for each optical port module shelf
• redundant power supply modules
Metallic Facilities 5.23 Each group of port modules that interface to metallic facilities is protected
by one redundant port module. Switching to the redundant unit is controlled by the
group controller modules on the shelf, which respond to hard failures reported by
automatic system diagnostics. Switching to the redundant port module is a two-
step process. Step one is instituted when a group controller module signals the LIM
of the failed port to connect the redundant port module to the same facility. In step
two, the group controller module causes the TSI to disconnect its input from the
output of the failed port module and to connect it instead to the output of the redun-
dant port module to restore service.

SONET OC-3 Optical 5.24 The OPM3 port module is part of the OC-3 port shelf complex. This
Facilities complex consists of four working OPM3 port modules, four protection OPM3 port
modules, five MM3 mapping modules (including one redundant), two group con-
trollers, two TSIO, and two power supply modules. The four working port modules
and the four protection port modules are arranged into four protected pairs with 1:1
redundancy. Two optional DPM modules (including one redundant) are included in
the shelf.
5.25 Automatic protection switching is accomplished by the MM3 modules. An
MM3 module receives redundant STS3 signals derived from a pair of redundant
OC-3 facilities by their OPM3s, but it sends only the signal derived from the working
facility and its OPM3 to the switch network, unless that signal has failed.
5.26 In the reverse direction, the MM3 modules compare the redundant signals
received from the two switch network copies and send only the better of the two
signals, selected byte-by-byte on a best-byte, best-clock basis, to the redundant
pairs of OPM3s and their OC-3 facilities.
SONET OC-12 Optical 5.27 The OPPM12 port module is part of the OC-12 port shelf complex. This
Facilities complex consists of one working OPM12 port module, one protection OPM12 port
module, five MM3 mapping modules (including one redundant), two group control-
lers, two TSIO, and two power supply modules. The working port module and the
protection port module are arranged into a protected pair with 1:1 redundancy. Two
optional DPM modules (including one redundant) are included in the shelf.
5.28 The “working” OPM12 module is backed up by a corresponding “protec-
tion” OPM12 module operating in standby, upon which a protection OC-12 fiber
facility (transporting duplicate information) is terminated. Switching to the protec-
tion OPM12 and its fiber facility is automatic upon a failure of either the working
OPM12 or its associated facility.
5.29 Redundancy protection switching is accomplished by the MM3 modules.
An MM3 module receives redundant STS3 signals derived from the pair of
redundant OC-12 facilities by their OPM12s, but it sends only the signal derived
from the “working” facility and its OPM12 to the switch network.
5.30 In the reverse direction, the MM3 modules compare the redundant signals
received from the two switch network copies and send only the better of the two
signals, selected byte-by-byte on a best-byte, best-clock basis, to the redundant
pair of OPM12s and their OC-12 facilities.
External Synchronization 5.31 When SONET facilities terminate upon the TITAN 5500/S, two timing ref-
erence sources, one of which is redundant, terminate on the copy A and copy B
SIMs. Both references terminate on each SIM, and the reference-A and reference-
B outputs of each SIM are distributed to both copies of the AC shelf and to both
copies of the switch network. Because of this, the simultaneous failure of both ref-
erence signals and one SIM cannot cause the system to lose synchronization.
Power Redundancy 5.32 Power redundancy, implemented in each TITAN 5500/S equipment rack,
is an important aspect of system protection. Each equipment rack accepts power
from two separate user-provided, protected power feeds from the office battery.
Within each equipment rack, all power components, including power-feed compo-
nents, are duplicated. The power converters that supply each shelf are paired, with
one converter supplied by each power feed so that a failure of a single feed or
converter cannot disable a shelf. Each converter is capable of supplying an entire
shelf in the event of a failure. For user convenience, all circuit protection is imple-
mented by circuit breakers instead of fuses.
Page 1-84 5/02 76.5500/1, Rev I1

Facility Integrity
5.33 Facility integrity deals with the transmission medium external to the TITAN
5500/S system, including the distributing frames, office repeaters, and interoffice
transmission facilities.
Facility Monitoring
5.34 The TITAN 5500/S system constantly monitors facility performance to
perform the following functions:
• determine the usability of signals for transport (determine “hard”
failures)
• provide performance data to Operational Support Systems (OSSs)

(determine circuit availability and to detect soft or degraded failures)
Facility Failures 5.35 Facility failures initiate alarms. Parameters monitored for this purpose are
as follows:
• Bipolar Violations (BPV rates)
• Loss of Signal (LOS)
• Loss of Frame (LOF) or Out of Frame (OOF)
• Excessive Line Error Rates (BPV rates)
Facility Alarms (AIS and 5.36 For a fault in a connection path that travels through several pieces of
RAIS) equipment, certain signals are defined to isolate the trouble, prevent alarms from
being propagated to every piece of equipment in the path, and ensure that the path
is not used for traffic until the problem is corrected. To prevent further alarms in
network equipment that operate above the DS0 rate, an alarm indication signal
(AIS) is sent in the downstream direction upon detection of an incoming failure.
When applicable, a Remote Alarm Indication Signal (RAIS) is sent back toward the
failure. The TITAN 5500/S system can detect and generate the various types of
AIS currently found on the public network. All AIS options can be set via software
configuration.
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-85

Performance Monitoring 5.37 Performance monitor (for example, Bit Error Rate) threshold crossings can
be reported to the appropriate OSS or printed out locally. All parameters are mea-
sured as counts, consisting of 15-minute counts, hourly counts, or daily cumulative
counts. Thresholds can be set manually through the software for all counts, on a
per-line basis. If a 15-minute, hourly, or daily count threshold is exceeded, a
threshold crossing alert indication is sent out on the appropriate control channel.
These counters can be reset manually and, as a software option, the count can be
reset and sent to an OSS on the hour or every 24 hours (the midnight report). The
monitored parameters are as follows:
• Coding violations (for example, BPVs and CRC errors)
• Out of Frame (OOF)
• Errored Seconds (ES)
• Severely Errored Seconds (SES)
• Unavailable Seconds (UAS)
• Degraded Minutes (DM)
• C-bit-parity based ESCP, SESCP, UASCP, and CVCP
Performance Monitoring 5.38 PMHSO provides high-speed output of performance monitoring (PM) data
High-speed Output (PMHSO) using data compression and the 19.2 kbits asynchronous links. This enables the
system to output 15-minute intervals of PM data more efficiently.
Commanded PMHSO 5.39 Commanded PMHSO allows collected PM data to be output using a single
TL1 command (CPY-DATA) via a TCP/IP link. Once the TL1 command has been
received, the TITAN 5500/S system will transfer the previously stored PM file to a
remote FTP server.
5.40 It is possible to output a single file containing the 15 minute historical PM
registers, the hourly historical PM registers, or the daily historical PM registers. If
you choose to transfer the hourly historical PM register, far-end performance data
will not be output.
Performance and Alarm 5.41 The Performance and Alarm Monitoring Suspension (PASUSP) feature
Monitoring Suspension allows performance and alarm monitoring to be inhibited for a specific amount of
(PASUSP) time, or delayed for a specific amount of time, after a clean signal is present.
PASUSP is available on the following terminations:
• T1 digroup
• T1 constituent
• DS3
• DS2
• VT1.5
• E1 constituent
• EC1
• STS1
• STS3C
Page 1-86 5/02 76.5500/1, Rev I1

5.42 The PASUSP model is controlled by two timers. The first timer is a delay
mode that prevents alarm triggering and PM for a designated time. The second
timer is a trigger mode that requires a valid signal to be present for a time before
PM and alarming can be enabled.
DS1 Far-end Performance 5.43 The TITAN 5500/S supports far-end performance monitoring (FEPM) on
Monitoring ESF DS1 facilities by using the facility data link. FEPM can be optioned on a per
DS1 termination basis for the protocols defined in ANSI T1.403, AT&T TR 54016,
or Tellabs-enhanced AT&T TR 54016. The default is ANSI T1.403. The far-end
Channel Service Unit (CSU) must be compatible with the communication protocol
defined in AT&T TR 54016 or ANSI T1.403. For AT&T TR 54016, the system polls
the far-end CSU for performance information using messages defined in AT&T TR
54016 and the Tellabs enhancement. Only one CSU is supported per DS1 termi-
nation. The system allows for both an all-ones idle signal and a repeating pattern
of idle bytes (01111110), while a DS1 termination is optioned for AT&T TR 54016
compatibility.
5.44 The following commands are supported on a DS1 termination optioned for
the AT&T 54016 command set:
• - #64 - Send 1-Hour Performance Data
• - #66 - Reset Performance Monitoring Counters
• - #67 - Send Errored ESF Data
• - #68 - Reset Errored ESF Data
5.45 In addition to all of the commands listed above, the following command is
supported on a DS1 termination optioned for the Tellabs-enhanced AT&T 54016
command set:
- #103 - Send Enhanced 1-Hour Performance Data
5.46 FEPM can be supported in the TITAN 5500/S by the port module used to
terminate the T1 facility or DS1 constituents of a DS3 facility using the 81.5517A,
82.5517A, and 81.5517C port modules. FEPM for DS1 constituents of OC-n
SONET facilities can be supported in the TITAN 5500/S by the I-Mux or T-Mux
mapping module. Refer to Table 5.1, page 1-88, for a list of modules that support
FEPM.
5.47 The AT&T TR 54016 protocol allows for the selection of either of two oper-
ating modes, passive and intrusive, defined as follows:
Passive. The DS1 supporting module collects PM information from the
CSU without resetting the CSU PM parameters or the CSU clock. This is
the default mode.
Intrusive. The DS1 supporting module collects PM information from the
CSU, but it resets the CSU PM parameters and CSU clock (if necessary)
in order to maintain 15-minute PM boundaries with the CSU.

Level II Performance 5.48 Performance monitoring (PM) of DS1 and DS3 signals, regardless of
Monitoring (Intermediate DS1 whether they are transported as asynchronous signals or within SONET payloads,
and DS3) is a key element of tariffing the services delivered to the end user. Because T1 and
T3 circuits constitute the services delivered to the end user, performance moni-
toring on those circuits is the means for the service provider to add value. Perfor-
mance statistics can be used to generate reports that prove the grade of service of
the circuits to the end user or, in some cases, to the interexchange carrier. SONET
PM monitors the transmission network, while asynchronous PM provides informa-
tion on the “health” of the service being delivered. For SONET rings, both SONET
PM on the container and asynchronous PM on the contents are needed for each
drop-side circuit. Point-to-point circuits also need both kinds of PM. Intermediate
performance monitoring is provided with the following features:
• Intermediate performance monitoring is provided on the optical shelf
mapping modules and Transmux STS-1 modules on electrical
shelves.
• Performance monitoring for near-end DS1 and DS3 channels within a

VT or STS1 access is provided to the following:
- DS1s within VTs

- E1 CSTs within VTs
- DS1s within DS3s within STS1s
- DS3s within STS1s
• Far-end performance monitoring per ANSI T1.403 is provided for
DS1s within VTs and DS1s within DS3s within STS1s.
• Far-end performance monitoring per AT&T TR 54016 is provided for

DS1s within VTs and DS1s within DS3s within STS1s.
• C-bit parity support is provided for DS3s within STS1s.
Page 1-88 5/02 76.5500/1, Rev I1

5.49 The following performance monitoring functions are performed even if the
DS1 or DS3 is contained within a signal that is cross-connected intact through the
switch matrix:
• DS1 within an intact DS3
• DS1 within a VT1.5
• E1 CSTs within a VT.5
• DS1 within a DS3 within an intact STS1
• DS1 within a VT which is within an intact STS1
• DS3 within an intact STS1

DS3 C-Bit Parity 5.50 The following DS3 C-bit parity near-end performance monitoring
Performance Monitoring parameters were added in FP5.0:
• Path C-bit Coding Violations (CVCP)
• Path C-bit Errored Seconds (ESCP)
• Path C-bit Severely Errored Seconds (SESCP)
• Path C-bit Unavailable Seconds (UASCP)
Test Access
5.51 TITAN 5500/S provides up to 319 test access ports (TAPs) to test any
facility that terminates on the system. These TAPs support existing CO test equip-
ment or remote centralized Operations Support Systems. The DS3/1 interface
module and the quad and double-density DS1 interface modules can be provi-
sioned as TAPs in support of DS3/1 and DS1 test access, respectively. The
following test-access modes are supported at the VT1.5, E1 CST, DS3, STS1 SPE,
and STS3C levels:
• monitor equipment and facility
• split equipment and facility
• loop equipment and facility
5.52 The session association attribute is used to identify whether or not the test
access cross-connection will be automatically released when the user who created
the test access cross-connection terminates the session. When a test access
cross-connection’s session association value is set to Yes, the current session
association’s user name and channel will be associated with that test access cross-
connection.
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-89

Maintenance Loopbacks
5.53 Maintenance loopbacks cause a channel on an incoming facility (termi-
nated on either an OC-12, OC-3, STS-1E, DS3/3, DS3/1, or DS1/1 port) to be
looped back on itself in the outgoing direction. Loopbacks are also supported for
T2 constituents of DS3/1 terminations. Two modes of maintenance loopback, line
and internal, are supported for metallic interfaces that are failed or out-of-service.
(Only line loopback is supported for optical facilities.) Both modes are shown in
Figure 5.1. The top and bottom halves of the drawing represent the same cross-
connect path, with loopback being activated from opposite directions. A line loop-
back regenerates the received signals and then applies them directly to the out-
going line without passing them through the switch network. An internal loopback
passes the incoming signal through the switch network before applying it to the out-
going line. For OC-12, OC-3, STS-1E, DS3/3, and DS1/1 interfaces, the input is
looped to the output intact. For a DS3/1 interface, an internal loopback involves
cross-connecting each of the 28 DS1s or 21 E1 CSTs onto itself.
5.54 Loopbacks are controlled by TL1 commands. In addition, on DS3/1 termi-
nations, near-end loopbacks and far-end loopbacks (for example, at an external
M13) can be performed on the constituent T1 terminations by C-bit control passed
on the DS3 signal.

Internal Loopback of DS1 5.55 Internal loopbacks can be performed on individual DS1 constituents of a
Constituents DS3 signal terminated by an 81.5517 DS3/1 port module, an 82.5517A port
module, or an 81.5517C port module functioning in the 3/1 mode. Internal loop-
backs can be performed on individual E1 CST signals by an 81.5517C port module
functioning in the 3/1 mode. Such loopbacks divert the signal that is about to be
transmitted toward the outgoing facility and return it through its associated receiver
back toward the switch network. Refer to Figure 5.2, page 1-91. At the same time,
the loopbacks automatically terminate the unused signal in the incoming direction
of transmission.

System Synchronization
5.56 Beginning with FP6.0, all TITAN systems must operate in synchronous
mode. This is accomplished by terminating a pair of reference lines derived from
the digital network upon system SIMs. Refer to Figure 5.3.

5.57 Two reference lines (one active and one redundant) are derived from
separate paths to protect against simultaneous reference failure. The system
constantly monitors the quality of both reference lines and automatically switches
from the active to the redundant line when a failure of the active line is detected.
Reference signals can be derived from incoming T1 facilities or a DS1 Building
Integrated Timing Supply (BITS).
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-91

Synchronization Status 5.58 Synchronization Status Messages (SSMs) stating the overall stability and
Messages quality of the reference source can be received via the overhead of the reference
source signals. The available SSMs are listed in Table 5.2. This information can be
used as a basis for manually selecting (via TL1) either of the two references to be
active or to drive an autonomous selection made by the system. The system is also
able to relay SSMs and source timing information to network elements via SONET
overhead and/or DS1 ESF datalink code word. SSMs comply with ANSI T1.105,
Telcordia GR-253-CORE, and a legacy K2-byte implementation. ANSI and Tel-
cordia-compatible SSMs are implemented via the S1 byte in the SONET overhead.
AT&T-compatible SSMs are implemented via the K2 byte in the SONET overhead
and are supported only for UPSR applications.

General Description 6. System Administration
6. System Administration
6.01 All administrative links provided for accessing the TITAN 5500/S use the
TL1 command language and allow interface to a compatible OSS or to local/remote
craft terminals. As an option, any of the links, except the ethernet link, can be con-
figured for use with the TITAN Enhanced User Interface (EUI) to provide menus,
help screens, and command prompting. Refer to paragraph 6.36, page 1-109.
6.02 The TITAN 5500/S has eight administrative links. All links can interface
with a teletypewriter (TTY), a video display terminal (VDT), a modem for interfacing
with the DDD dialup network, a centralized OSS, or a printing terminal used for
generating a hard-copy record of all communications between operator and
machine.
6.03 Six of the eight administrative links (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7) are asynchronous,
supporting ASCII data transmitted at the standard rates of 300, 1200, 2400, 4800,
9600, 19,200, and 38,400 bps. Links 1, 2, 5, and 6 can also support 57,600 bps.
These six asynchronous links use standard RS-232-C serial protocols for commu-
nicating with local administrative terminals or modems (via the modem shelf). The
six RS-232 serial links are available for connection to local DCS operator terminals
and direct connection to operations systems. RS-422 adapters are available for
use with the RS-232 interfaces.
6.04 Two of the eight administrative links (4 and 8) are synchronous, supporting
data transmission rates up to 57,600 bps. These links use the X.25 protocol for
connection to a packet switched network or remote operations systems. Each X.25
link supports any combination of permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) and switched
virtual circuits (SVCs), up to a combined total of eight, which can be remotely dis-
tributed along an X.25 network.

6. System Administration General Description
Ethernet Port
CIP LAN Connection

6.05 Optional redundant Ethernet ports (three per AC shelf) can be provided for
use as a high-speed communication link. When the external LAN is connected
through the 5530D CIPs (one for each AC), one is used for Ethernet CO LAN and
two are used for routing and passing DCC information to SONET optical facilities.
The 5530D CIPs are ANSI 802.2 and 802.3 compliant.
6.06 TL1 is supported over TCP/IP and OSI to allow an OS to directly interface
to the system via a CO LAN.
• transmission rate: 10Mbps
• interface connector: one AUI 15-pin female D-shell on each AC shelf
5549A DPM LAN Connection

6.07 Each 5549A DPM has two Ethernet ports (two per 5549A DPMs) to
provide connectivity to a CIP or an external router to gain access to the OSI wide-
area network and create a path to the DCC network. The 5549A DPMs can be
daisy-chained between 32 optical port shelves.
• transmission rate: 10Mbps
• interface connector: two 10base2 connectors on each optical port

shelf
Auto Link
6.08 The Auto Link feature provides a user with the capability to auto configure
the system when accessing the system via an X.25 SVC. Upon connection by a
valid user when the auto link function is activated for the system, the system will
automatically configure an X.25 SVC, bypassing system security for login.
6.09 The system will refer to the user profile that was set up for that particular
login id.
Page 1-94 5/02 76.5500/1, Rev I1

Access Security
6.10 The TITAN 5500/S has a security mechanism that prevents unauthorized
command execution. Security screening is based upon user, access link, and
command security level and requires each user to input a unique login ID and pass-
word. However, the system can also be configured to allow access via a direct
DCS-to-OSS link on which the OSS controls craft-access and provides security
checking.
Intrusion Failure and Channel 6.11 An intrusion failure is declared against an administrative channel when the
Lockout maximum number of invalid login attempts exceeds the threshold for login attempts
on that channel. When the threshold for invalid login attempts is reached, any
command entered on that channel is denied. This requirement includes any
command which can be used to log on to the system; for example, INTRPT-SYS
or ACT-USER. An intrusion failure against a channel terminates when the lockout
time for that channel has elapsed.
Password Count 6.12 The password count attribute is used to prevent a user from flipping
between current and former passwords. Every user identification code has a
password count attribute, which is a count of the number of most recently used
passwords, not including the current one. The password count attribute is an
integer between 0 and 10, which defaults to 0 upon assignment of a user identifi-
cation code. A command to change a user’s password is denied if the new
password is one of the last X passwords the user has used, where X is the value
of the password count attribute.
Login/Logout Messages 6.13 When a user logs on to the system, an autonomous message is output on
that channel, with the following information:
• system ID
• time and date
• password expiration message
• number of days before password expires
• user ID
• date of last login
• time of last login
• number of unsuccessful attempts to login with this user ID since the

last successful login
6.14 The interval during which a user’s password is valid is determined by

setting the password age attribute. Values between 0 and 999 days are allowed.
Setting the user’s password age attribute to 0 causes an unlimited interval of
validity. Setting the user’s password age attribute to any number greater than 0
causes a password expiration message to be output, warning the user when his/
her password has 7 days remaining before expiration.
6.15 When a user logs out of the system or is logged off autonomously, an
autonomous message is output on that channel, with the following information:
• system ID
• time and date
• user ID
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-95

Message Log File Retrieval 6.16 The retrieve log message supports the command search parameter
enabling the system to retrieve all commands matching or including text strings
specified by the user. The responses to each command also are retrieved if the
user requests them in conjunction with the command search parameter.
6.17 The command search parameter defaults to a null string if not specified by
the user, where a null string means that all commands will be retrieved within the
bounds of the other filters.
6.18 A command specifying a non-null command search parameter is denied if
the command event parameter is not set to retrieve commands.
Message Log File Retrieval, 6.19 The retrieve autonomous output message supports a message type

Software Updates
6.20 Software updating for TITAN 5500/S systems is performed in the field on
a feature package level. Each feature package contains the software used for pro-
gramming the common control processors and all subtending controllers and intel-
ligent interfaces. Feature package upgrade software is provided on a Single
Removable Media (SRM). The updating of the system software does not affect
service nor does it require the re-entry of system data such as provisioning infor-
mation. In addition, software patches may be available.
Remote Software Download

6.21 Introduced with FP8.0, the Remote Software Download (RSWD) feature
allows the distribution of feature package upgrade software from a remote server
to a designated system over an IP network via TL1 commands.
Note: The Remote Software Download (RSWD) feature is available in software

beginning with FP8.0.x.y, but the feature cannot be implemented until an
upgrade from FP8.0.x.y to a higher feature package is performed.
Remote File Transfer Via LAN

6.22 The ability to transfer files to and from the TITAN system is available begin-
ning with FP6.1. This feature allows the TITAN system to receive and activate soft-
ware patches remotely. The TITAN 5500 Element Management System (EMS) can
receive software patches over TCP/IP via FTP. Patches are then transferred to the
TITAN system over TCP/IP and may be activated using TL1 commands.
Remote Patch Activation

6.23 Beginning with FP8.0, software patches for the TITAN system can be acti-
vated from a remote location via network operation channels (TCP/IP or OSI
connection).
Patch Activation upon Upgrade

6.24 Beginning with FP8.0, software patches can be activated during an
upgrade using a new memory ID parameter (MEMID) added to the STA-
UPGRADE command. This feature can be performed on-site or from a remote
location.
76.5500/1, Rev I1 5/02 Page 1-97

Remote Backup and Restore

6.25 The Remote Backup and Restore (RBR) feature provides the capability to
backup or restore critical NE data and program files to a remote server over an IP
network. The remote backup feature enables users to perform data backups
without having to physically transport a Single Removable Media (SRM) from a site
for storage at a remote location. The remote restore feature provides an additional
safeguard for disaster recovery in the case of a catastrophic event.
6.26 A remote backup can be performed manually or at regularly scheduled
intervals using a TL1 command. A remote restore can be performed using TL1
commands or Utility Mode (UM).
Note: For more information on the Remote Backup feature, refer to Performing
Data Backups in the Maintenance Manual, 76.5500/24; for more informa-
tion on the Remote Restore feature, refer to Restoring the System in the
Troubleshooting Manual, 76.5500/29.
System Enhancements
6.27 Enhancements to TITAN 5500/S system functionality are supported in
hardware by circuit module upgrades and in software by feature package
upgrades. A brief history of feature package upgrades is provided in Table 6.2.
When using this table, remember that unless otherwise noted, each feature
package load contains the features of all earlier loads in addition to its listed fea-
tures.

System Reports
6.28 The TITAN 5500/S system can be queried via TL1 commands for the
status of all hardware, including module type, revision level, serial number, and all
associated standard performance information. Responses minimize the number of
requests required to get complete information on any given piece of hardware.
6.29 A report can print out automatically at regular intervals, per a schedule
defined by the craftsperson, to summarize all off-normal conditions. Performance
measurements are kept on an hourly basis in a 24-hour First-In-First-Out (FIFO)
register. A 24-hour summary is also kept in a 7-day circular FIFO register. The 24-
hour FIFO is rolled at midnight, based upon the system’s Time-of-Day (TOD) clock,
while the hourly FIFO is rolled on the hour.
System Health Reports

6.30 The System Health Report (SHR) helps to manage the health of the TITAN
5500/S system. The SHR can be scheduled and retrieved, via TL1 commands, to
provide alarm annunciations and clears as well as general system information on
up to 12,000 AID/alarm type combinations residing on the TITAN 5500/S system.
6.31 The SHR provides information for 24-hour periods, from midnight to
midnight, based on the TITAN 5500/S time stamp. This information is stored on
non-volatile memory for 30 days, and the report for any of the past 30 days can be
printed at any time. The SHR can be scheduled to print on a daily basis to aid in
preventative maintenance; or it can be printed on demand, such as during an
outage, to aid in identifying any failed equipment.
6.32 The information contained in the SHR is divided into three sections: the
header, the body, and the footer. The header contains information pertaining to the
state of the TITAN 5500/S at the beginning of a collection period. The body con-
tains information pertaining to events that occur during the collection period as well
as standing alarms. The footer contains information pertaining to the state of the
TITAN 5500/S at the end of the collection period. If an SHR is requested before the
24-hour collection period is complete, the footer will contain information pertaining
to the state of the TITAN 5500/S at the time the request was generated.
Note: For additional information on the System Health Report (SHR) feature,
refer to Setting Up and Retrieving System Health Reports in the Mainte-
nance Manual, 76.5500/24.

Menu-driven User Interface

6.36 The Enhanced User Interface (EUI) is a menu-driven user interface that is
available as an option to act as an overlay to the TL1 command language. EUI has
the following features:
• two alternative dialog modes provided for communicating with the
system:
- command prompter mode

- command line (transparent) mode
• command-prompting menus to reduce the need to remember TL1
commands
• direct entry of TL1 commands, for experienced users
• protection against unintentional execution of destructive command
• continuous on-screen display of system alarm status
• display suppression for user passwords
6.37 Implementation of the menu-driven user interface requires only a user-pro-

vided DEC VT-100 (or equivalent) Video Display Terminal (VDT) with keyboard.
The VDT requires no on-board intelligence since all processing is performed by the
TITAN 5500/S system AC shelf. Special cabling is not required between the TITAN
5500/S and the VDT, and connection may be made over the RS-232 administrative
links.
6.38 In addition to serial asynchronous links, the EUI is also supported on
synchronous X.25 administrative links beginning with FP5.0.

Distributing TITAN 5500/S Mechanics Within CO Plant

7.02 Because of its three-subsystem architecture, a TITAN 5500/S system can
be split up among various floors of a large central office. This allows each sub-
system to be located in the most appropriate part of the building, as illustrated in
Figure 7.2. For example, in an application involving a multistory CO building, DS3
facility-interface shelves can be located on the top floor for interfacing to digital
radio equipment while fiber optic facility-interface shelves can be located on a
lower floor for interfacing to an outside plant. Yet, the switch network shelves can
be located on an intermediate floor together with the drop-and-insert DS3/1 inter-
face shelves that interface the TITAN 5500/S to the CO’s digital switch. Currently,
the maximum cable length for either SDF or SCF is 600 feet.

Estimating System Physical Size

7.04 All pieces of equipment are mounted in racks. Network, AC, and port racks
are 26-inches wide. All racks are 12- or 15-inches deep. All equipment is mounted
below the 7-foot level regardless of rack height. Switch network racks are sepa-
rated by 10-inch spacers. Five-inch spacers are available for network racks,
although 10-inch spacers are recommended. Use a 5-inch or a 10-inch spacer on
both sides of a quad DS1, DS3, STS1, OC-3, OC-12 rack. Use a 10-inch spacer
between double-density DS1 racks. An exception exists when DS1 port racks are
equipped with DS1 wire wrap panels; in this case, both quad DS1 racks and
double-density DS1 racks are equipped with 10-inch spacers.
7.05 All port racks contain up to four port shelves per rack. Port shelves of
different facility interface types (for example, DS1, OC-3) can be mixed as desired
within the same rack.

Options
7.12 Optional modules and equipment for the TITAN 5500/S system that
perform specialized functions can be ordered with the system initially or at a later
date. These options are described below.
Note: The following Modem Shelf configurations have been Manufacturer Dis-
continued by Tellabs.
7.13 Two modem modules are available for the TITAN 5500/S system. The
82.5562 can operate in a full duplex 2-wire, auto answer, and auto dial modes, and
it can pass data at 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600bps. The 82.5564 V.3400 can
operate in full duplex 2-wire or 4-wire modes, and it can pass data at 300,1200,
2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200bps. Both modem modules permit interfacing to a
public switched network or packet network for communicating with operations sys-
tems. These modems, which can be optioned for dial-up/dial-back control for secu-
rity, can be placed on the network to allow administrative tasks to be performed
remotely. Each installed modem uses one of the available operations systems
interface ports. Also required are the 81.5560A modem shelf, the backplane and
metal work to install modems, and the 81.5561A modem power supply module, the
power source for modems.
7.14 Two communication panels are available to provide voice communication
capabilities between craftspersons within the central office: the 79.0482 one-line
panel and the 79.0495 nine-line panel. These panels terminate a local 2-wire
metallic VF line and provide a handset interface to craft personnel.
7.15 Also available is a signal converter that offers four types of data link inter-
face: RS-232-C, RS-422, RS-423, and RS-449.
7.16 Two Communication Interface Panels (CIPs), 80.5530D, are available to
provide hardware connectivity for three Ethernet interfaces between a customer
computer network and the TITAN 5500/S system, as well as providing links to the
data communications channels on the optical port shelves. The CIPs are used with
the SPM functioning as a CPM to provide customer access to the Central Office
(CO) LAN and/or DPM LAN connections for DCC ports.

Electromagnetic Interference 7.18 Optional EMI protection kits are available for the following equipment rack
(EMI) Kits assemblies of the TITAN 5500/S:
• Kit No. 81.5581 protects an AC shelf, double-density DS1 shelf, or an
optical port shelf. The 81.5581 contains a solid door; the 81.5581A
contains a mesh door.
• Kit No. 81.5582 protects a DS3/STS-1E port shelf. The 81.5582

contains a solid door; the 81.5582A contains a mesh door.
• Kit No. 81.5583 protects a quad DS1 port shelf. The 81.5583 contains
a solid door; the 81.5583A contains a mesh door.
• Kit No. 81.5584 contains two doors and protects an end switch shelf
and a center switch shelf for all TITAN 5500/S systems including 2048/
3072 systems. The 81.5584 contains two solid doors; the 81.5584A
contains two mesh doors.
End Cover Kits 7.19 Optional end-cover kits are available for enhancing the appearance of, and
for providing mechanical protection to, the exposed side of the first or last equip-
ment rack of a row. These kits do not affect EMI protection.
T1 Wire Wrap Panel Kits 7.20 Wire wrap kits are available for terminating T1 facilities directly on the T1
port racks instead of on a DSX-1 panel. These wire wrap kits attach directly to the
side of each DS1 port rack and connect to the Amphenol-type connectors provided
for DS1 termination on the backplane of each DS1 port shelf. The 80.2164 kit is
available for racks containing quad DS1/1 port shelves; the 80.2365 or 80.2366 kits
are available for racks containing double-density DS1/1 port shelves. The 80.2164
and 80.2365 kits are shown in Figure 7.12.

TITAN Shelf and Equipment Rack Arrangements

7.22 All TITAN systems require an administrative complex, center stage net-
work, and end stage network shelves. The number of port shelves of various inter-
face types varies, depending upon interface levels and the number of ports
required. Figure 7.14, page 1-135, through Figure 7.19, page 1-138, display shelf
arrangements for nonexpandable 256 and 3072 SDF TITAN 5500 systems, plus
expandable TITAN 5500 systems for 256, 1024, and 2048 SDF ranges, respec-
tively. Figure 7.17, page 1-136, shows a typical equipment rack lineup for a mixed-
port system equipped for ports totaling 1024 SDFs (DS3 equivalents).
