Example Description
This example is about the 1+1 client-side protection applied in the ring network.

In project P, NE A and NE B are networked in a point-to-point manner, and they are OTM
stations, where the OptiX OSN 6800 equipment is deployed. The protection configuration for
the OptiX OSN 9600/9800 series, OptiX OSN 8800 series and OptiX OSN 3800 is the same
as the protection configuration for the OptiX OSN 6800. Figure 1 shows the network design
diagram for project P.

Verifying Client 1+1 Protection Switching

This section takes a network formed by two OTM stations as an example to describe the test
procedure of the client 1+1 protection switching that is realized by using the OLP.

Prerequisites

The client 1+1 protection must be configured.

The fiber connections between station A and station B must be complete.

The equipment must be running normally.

Tools, Equipment and Materials

NMS, signal analyzer, optical fiber, flange, optical attenuator

Set-up Diagram

The diagram of testing client 1+1 protection switching is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Testing the client 1+1 protection

: Fixed optical attenuator

Procedure

 Connecting Test instruments

1. In station A, respectively connect the output and input optical interfaces of the signal
analyzer to the TI and RO interfaces on the client side of the OLP board through two
fixed optical attenuators.
2. In station B, connect the RO interface to the TI interface on the client side of the OLP
board through a fixed optical attenuator, to realize the loopback on the client side, as
shown in Figure 1.
3. Test the channel by using a signal analyzer to ensure that no bit error is generated.
 Querying the Normal Channel Status of the Station A
1. Log in to the NMS. Double-click the ONE icon of the Station A in the Main Topology,
and the status figure of the ONE is displayed.
2. Right-click the NE icon where the OLP board is located and select NE Explorer to
display the NE Explorer dialog box.
3. Select the NE from the Navigator Tree and choose Configuration > Port Protection
from the Function Tree.
4. Click Query, a prompt appears to indicate that the operation was successful. Click
Close. And all protection groups are listed in the protection group list in the right-
hand pane.
5. Check the channel status of the client 1+1 protection. The Working Channel Status
and the Protection Channel Status is Normal.
 Testing the Protection Switching of the Equipment
 1. The switching test of the client 1+1 protection can be performed in two ways.
 Method 1: fiber removing. Remove the fiber of the IN optical interface of the
working OTU1 board in station A to perform the switching, as shown in
Figure 1.
 Method 2: forced switching. On the NMS, log on into the protection group of
station A. Right-click the desired protection group, and select Force to
Protection Channel to perform the switching. Click OK in the dialog box
displayed.

NOTICE:

In Method 1, you must disconnect the fiber that inputs signals to the OTU1
board in station A. Otherwise, protection switching may be performed twice or
no protection switching is performed. In this way, the detected switching time
is more scientific.

2. Query the channel states of the client 1+1 protection in station A.

 Choose Configuration > Port Protection from the Function Tree. Click Query,
a prompt appears to indicate that the operation was successful. Click Close.
 In the fiber removing mode, Working Channel is 1(RI1/TO1), and Protection
Channel is 2(RI2/TO2). Working Channel Status is SF; Protection Channel
Status is Normal. Switching Status is SF Switched.
 In the forced switching mode, Working Channel is 1(RI1/TO1), and
Protection Channel is 2(RI2/TO2). Working Channel Status and the
Protection Channel Status is Normal. Switching Status is Force to Protection
Channel.
3. In the NE panel of the Station A, right-click the OLP board and select Browse Current
Alarms. The CLIENT_PORT_PS alarm must be reported.
4. Test the services and switching time by using a signal analyzer. The services should
be available, no bit error is generated, and the switching time should be less than 50
ms.
5. To restore the test environment of the two switching modes in Step 1, the following
two modes can be respectively used:
 Fiber removing mode: Reconnect the fiber.
 Forced switching mode: Right-click the desired protection group in the
Protection Group, and select Clear. Click OK in the dialog box displayed.

NOTE:

If the Revertive Mode field is set to Non-Revertive, right-click the desired

protection group and then choose Manual to Working Channel from the
shortcut menu. After that, right-click the same protection group again and then
choose Clear from the shortcut menu. Click OK in the dialog box displayed.

6. After the time set in WTR Times (s) field, Click Query, a prompt appears to indicate
that the operation was successful. Click Close. And Switching Status of the
protection group should be Idle.
