INTRODUCTION
2 Introduction
This section presents a general introduction to the LECO1 unit.
The section is closed with a unit view in section Installation (page 17).
2.1 General
This document describes the architecture and functions of the LECO1 unit
and shows, how this unit is commissioned and operated as part of the FOX.
The LECO1 unit is a 1-slot wide service unit of FOX. It supports eight full
duplex E0 (64 kbit/s) data interfaces according to ITU-T G.703.
The synchronous transmission mode provides the codirectional timing oper-
ation.
The LECO1 unit supports the connection of two DTEs via a synchronous
TDM network. At both ends the DTE is connected to a LECO1 unit which
converts the E0 data signal to a 64 kbit/s digital signal (and vice versa). The
digital signal is transported through the TDM network to a FOX network ele-
ment where the LECO1 unit converts the digital signal back to the E0 data
signal (and vice versa).
FOX FOX
E0 TDM E0
DTE LECO1
Network
LECO1 DTE
The LECO1 unit as a FOX TDM unit provides PBUS (FOX TDM bus)
access. LECO1 has a physical access capacity of 4 x 2 Mbit/s towards the
FOX internal cross connection backplane, PBUS, allowing access of the
eight data user ports with 8 x 64 kbit/s.
The following network features help to enhance the systems availability:
• 1+1 linear trail protection switching.
• 1+1 linear subnetwork connection protection switching.
LECO1 is connected to a TDM transport unit as e.g. a SAMO1 unit via the
PBUS in the backplane of FOX.
FOX61xLECO1 11
INTRODUCTION
Figure 2 shows the LECO1 unit hardware. On the front plate are two LEDs
for the unit- and traffic failure indication. The connector for the eight data
interfaces is based on the standard DIN 41 612.

INSTALLATION
The figure below shows the cable/cable tray assembly of the FOX615.
Please note:
The cable route on the cable tray should follow approximately the projection
of the unit slot on the cable tray.
With the FOX612 the cable tray functionality is implemented differently and
depends on the type of installation (rack-, wall-mounted).
For more information on fixing the cables with the FOX612 refer to
1KHW002462 FOX612 Installation.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
5 Functional description
This chapter gives the detailed functional description of the LECO1 unit in
the FOX subrack:
• Data interface functions of the LECO1 unit (section Data interface func-
tions (page 21).
• All data signal related functions and transport features (section Data han-
dling (page 23)).
• Traffic protection functions (section Protection (page 24)).
Typically in the DTE the bit timing is looped from the receive direction to the
transmit direction.
On the LECO1 unit in transmit direction, the bit and octet timing are recov-
ered from the transmit data signal. The data are written to a 6 octet buffer
with the recovered timing and finally mapped, octet by octet, to a 64 kbit/s
time slot with the NE timing (PETS). In case the transmit signal is not syn-
chronous to the NE timing the data rate is adapted with the repetition or elim-
ination of a complete octet.
The transmit signal is monitored for a loss of signal condition or a loss of
8 kHz timing condition. Any of these conditions activates an alarm and acti-
vates the AIS insertion in transmit direction.
The 8 kHz timing monitoring and consequent AIS insertion can be enabled.
FOX61xLECO1 21
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Please note:
When the 8 kHz timing monitoring is disabled, but the 8 kHz timing signal is
still present, it will be used for the octet aligned mapping of user data to time
slots.
Please note:
The transmit data signal cannot be used to synchronize the network ele-
ment.
In receive direction, the user data rate is derived from the NE timing. The
data and timing signals are fed to the interface.
In case of an alarm condition an alarm is reported and an AIS is inserted in
receive direction.
In case of a loss of signal in transmit direction the octet timing in receive
direction can be removed.

Octet timing
According to ITU-T G.703 the 8 kHz timing must be generated by the con-
trolling equipment, i.e. the LECO1 unit, but it is not mandatory for the DTE
on the other side of the interface to either utilize or generate the 8 kHz timing
signal. Therefore the 8 kHz timing monitoring and consequent AIS insertion
can be enabled.
22 FOX61xLECO1
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
With each of the 8 user ports the LECO1 unit offers a 64 kbit/s data inter-
face.

The data handling can be configured with the following control and mainte-
nance mechanisms:
• Decoder:
The decoder extracts the user data, bit and octet timing from the transmit
signal.
• Signal monitor:
The transmit signal is monitored for a loss of signal condition or a loss of
8 kHz timing condition.
The 8 kHz timing monitoring can be enabled.
• Consequent action (transmit signal):
A loss of signal condition or a loss of 8 kHz timing condition (if enabled)
activates the following consequent actions.
− Data AIS insertion in transmit direction.
− 8 kHz timing removal in receive direction (configurable, loss of signal
condition only).
• Buffer:
The buffer with a depth of six octets adapts the transmit data timing to the
NE timing.
Positive and negative octet slips are counted.
• Loop 2b:
The maintenance function “Back-To-Back-2b” loop loops the receive data
signal back to the transmit direction. With an active loop 2b the receive
data signal is replaced by AIS, the 8 kHz timing can be disabled.
For details please refer to section Loops (page 32).
• Loop 3b:
The maintenance function “Front-To-Front-3b” loop loops the transmit
data signal back to the receive direction. With an active loop 3b the trans-
mit data signal is replaced by AIS.
For details please refer to section Loops (page 32).
FOX61xLECO1 23
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
• Protection switch:
In receive direction a working and a protecting channel can be config-
ured. Switching criteria are “trail signal fail” and “trail signal degrade” from
the P12 transport unit. With CAS enabled in the CTP configuration, CAS
AIS is an additional switching criterion.
• Consequent action (receive signal):
A detected failure in the receive signal activates the following consequent
actions.
− Data AIS insertion in receive direction.
− 8 kHz timing removal in receive direction.
• Remove octet timing:
The 8 kHz timing in receive direction can be disabled to inform the DTE
of a non operational 64 kbit/s data transport. The 8 kHz timing is removed
as a consequent action on the following failures or maintenance activities:
− Failure in the receive signal.
− Loss of transmit data signal (configurable).
− Loop 2b active (configurable).
5.3 Protection
Please note:
LTP requires that CAS is available in the P12 transport signal (P12 termina-
tion mode = PCM30 or PCM30C) and that CAS is enabled in the user port
configuration (CAS AIS Supervision = true).
• If CAS is not available only the server layer defects can be detected,
which is then the 1+1 SNCP/I protection. SNCP/I protects against server
failures.
1+1 protection provides the 1+1 unidirectional protection. The operation type
can be configured to revertive or non-revertive.
The switching of the working and the protecting channel is done in sink
direction only. On the source side a fixed bridge is used.
