Each of these loop-backs (internal and external) is implemented as Unidirectional Cross

Connection.

2.1.5. MS Signal Degrade with threshold selection

Threshold selection capability for the B2 bytes Multiplex Section Signal Degrade (MS SD)
detection is possible both according to Poisson Model and Burst Model.

2.1.6. VC Signal Degrade with threshold selection

Threshold selection capability for the B3 and Bip2 bytes Signal Degrade (SD) detection is
possible both according to Poisson and Burst Model.

2.1.7. I/O Housekeeping and Remote alarms

The system, through the CONGI card placed in the Access Area, is able to provide external
connectors (housekeeping, remote alarms, Q2 interface, LAN interface....).

The CONGI card provides:

 6 Housekeeping input contacts (or 12 Housekeeping input contacts via a external

Housekeeping Box)

 2 Housekeeping output contacts

 5 output remote alarms

The output remote alarms are typically used to report various equipment criteria to interface rack
services or generic station devices, for example: power supply alarms, equipment alarm
summary, Equipment Controller and QB3 interconnection status, …

It is possible to set the alarm severity of the housekeeping inputs.

It is possible to name the housekeeping inputs and outputs (max 16 characters).

1662 SMC could automatically detect if there is an external housekeeping box or not. With the
present of external box, 1662 SMC work in “enhanced” mode to support 12 housekeeping inputs.
Otherwise, 1662 SMC still work in “normal” mode to support 6 housekeeping inputs.

2.1.7.1. Extended Alarm Contacts Management

Output housekeeping contacts can be configured to externally report the line defect status of the
STM-N interfaces. Each contact can be individually configured for this behavior in alternative to
output housekeeping management.

- When red, internal failure present

- When green, in service and no failure present

2.1.7.3. Centralized Equipment Alarms

The equipment controller collects all the alarms detected by the units. Five LEDs available in the
front cover allow synthesizing alarm messages: MAJOR, MINOR, ABN, WARNING, ATTD.

2.1.8. Programmable Alarm Severity

The following classes are available by default: CRITICAL, MAJOR, MINOR, WARNING and NOT
ALARMED. The operator is allowed to create his own classes on the basis of its network
peculiarities.

2.1.9. LAN Access for Management

The equipment can be connected to a Local Area Network infrastructure for direct
interconnection to the TMN system. This interface provides the physical access to the QB3
communication protocol stack via the IEEE–802.3 standard. In 1662 SMC, 10Base–T or 10Base–
2 options are supported by the CONGI–A card.

NOTE: 10Base2 connector was not provided in the CONGI AE** and AF** versions.

2.1.10. AUX/EOW channels access

The new SERGI (and ESERGI) units can provide auxiliary interfaces to terminate the AUX/EOW
bytes extracted from the SDH overhead.

Table 2 AUX/EOW

EOW analog access types AUX digital access types

Q.23 (DTMF) standard phone jack V.11 Synch (Di/Do/Cko, 64 Kb/s)

The following 7 auxiliary digital terminations are available for 1662SMC by the front panel of the
new SERGI (and ESERGI) access module: 2*V.11 (64Kb/s), 2*V.24 (38Kb/s), 2*G703 (64Kb/s),
1*G703 (2Mb/s).

2 EOW analog terminations (phone interfaces) are also available: 1 x Q.23 phone jack, 1 x
Q.23 phone extension.

AUX bytes are managed on 2Mbit/s G.703 port.

2.1.11. EOW channels extension

EOW channels extension allows extending the EOW telephone channel through the 4-wires RJ-
11 connector on the new SERGI (and ESERGI) board. Three configurations are supported:

1. EOW extension on a single NE

2. EOW pass-though between 2 NEs on different SDH transmission network

3. EOW party-line among multiple NEs

EOW extension on a single NE is accomplished by adopting MSN8 (see WTD Commercial

Product Catalog) and getting signal from 4-wire extension on the OMSN (RJ-11 connector).

EOW pass-though, between 2 NEs on different SDH transmission networks, uses 4 wire
extensions on both NEs to pass on the communication channel.

EOW party line among multiple NEs uses MSN8 (see WTD Commercial Product Catalog) to
connect all the 4 wire extensions on all the equipments. The party line function on MSN8 allows
to make the cross connection for the voice channels.

The EOW functions are removed in ESERGI without EOW access card (3AL98353AA**).

2.1.12. DCC over E1

In case the network involving OMSN is divided into several sub-networks by non-ALCATEL
equipments, DCC information can be encapsulated (in a proprietary way) into a 2Mbit/s data
flow and transmitted through the network (*). In the other sub-networks, the 2Mbit/s traffic
transporting DCC information can be terminated in another OMSN. By this way, one TMN
workstation is enough to manage these separated sub-networks.

The normal DCC information available for MS/RS links or via the Ethernet interface on the
CONGI board can be mapped on the 8xDCC aggregation board bi-directionally into an E1 PDH
interface, which is accessible via the front panel of the board.

The management of these special 2Mbit/s channels is done in the same way as any other type of
DCC channel (RS and MS), i.e. via LAPD configuration menus.

(*) FEATURE AVAILABLE only using 8xDCC aggregation board

2.1.13. DCC Transparency

In case the network involving non-ALCATEL equipments is divided into several sub-networks by
OMSN, this feature allows the transparent transport of DCC through Alcatel-Lucent network by
DCC Cross-connections.

Referring to the following network scenario:

LAPD management information carried by NM and RS-DCC of “Non Alcatel-Lucent equipment”

can pass through Alcatel-Lucent network without to be terminated by ALU equipment.

2.1.14. DCC Interworking with ECI

This feature allow to mange the DCC frames with “Shared flag” (see the right figure below), ie,
the DCC generated by ECI.

2.1.15. On-line BUS diagnostic

To improve the hardware failure diagnostic and localization, a new function named "NGI
Monitor" (NGI, New Generation Interface, is the internal signal interface (back panel) for OMSN
family) has been introduced. The NGI Monitor allows a more detailed monitoring with respect to
the generic "Card Fail" alarm. This function provides information about problems affecting
internal links.

At CT Level (surveillance alarms) the number of slot where the failure occurred is reported.

Figure 1 shows a functional sketch, what alarms are visible by means of the NGI monitor.

2.1.16. ASAP configuration on port and NE basis

The feature allows the SH/CT user to quickly configure Alarm Severity Alarm Profiles (ASAP) of all
Termination Points (TPs) of a port or Network Element. For instance: a 2Mb/s port has 4 TPs,
each of them with an own ASAP: this feature allows the user to change the default ASAP of all the
TPs of the board with a single command. The feature allows as well the user to configure all the
ASAPs of the TPs of a selected class of ports (2Mb/s, 34Mb/s, …, STM-1, STM-4, …) of a
Network Element.

2.1.17. Enhanced FAN Unit Management

This feature provides alarm monitoring to support fan unit maintenance operations. The fan
configuration is always redundant in order to keep the adequate airflow also in single failure
condition. This feature is fully exploited only when using the 19” fan unit together with enhanced
CONGI (AD** or AE**).

This feature is not provided by CONGI AA** and AF** versions.

2.1.18. CONGI-SERGI Power ALARM management

The alarm management regarding the power supply from external battery and on board fuse
failure has been improved both on CONGI and SERGI boards.

The following description relative to CONGI is applicable to SERGI as well.

If the external power supply connected to CONGI (A/B) board is faulty, the alarm FuseFailure is
raised at NE level together with the alarm Battery Failure on the involved CONGI (A/B).

If the fuse inside the CONGI is broken, the alarm FuseFailure is raised on the CONGI, which has
the broken fuse.

If there is a failure affecting the On Board Power Supply (OBPS) device providing 3.6V, the RUP
alarm (Card Fail) is raised on the affected CONGI.

Another alarm is raised directly by the Equipment Controller, if the auxiliary 48V power supply is
missing. In this case the alarm AndBatteryFailure is raised at NE level (this is applicable to
CONGI A only).

2.2. EQUIPMENT PROTECTION

1662SMC is able to manage the EPS protection of the following cards:

 Compact ADM (1+1):

The equipment protection of the SYNTH board (both SYNTH16 and SYNTH4V2) provides
the duplication of synchronization, matrix and shelf controller functions. The equipment
controller function is not protected.

ED 01 CONFIDENTIAL

2.3. MANAGEMENT

The 1662SMC can be managed through the following different communication interfaces:

 The system can be managed through the F interface, by a CMISE Craft Terminal running on
a Personal Computer (Local Craft Terminal).

 A given Network Element can be configured as a Mediation Network Element in order to

manage a network made up of a maximum of 32 SDH elements including the one acting as a
MNE (Remote Craft Terminal). By means of the information shared through the embedded
DCC channels, it’s possible to perform alarm synthesis and clock/data distribution of the
configured managed network.

 The different products of the Alcatel-Lucent Network Management System can be used to
supervise one or more NE’s through the QB3 interface via a dedicated LAN port (ISO–OSI
protocol stack on QB3/QECC).

 The QECC interface (D4–D12 or D1–D3 (Software selectable)) on STM-N ports and the E1 of
the 8xDCC aggregation board allows further connection to the NMS (QECC on RS/MS– SOH
bytes and via E1).

 A modification into the OSI stack has been introduced to extend the number of octets of the
L2 frames received over DCC: from 512 (default value defined into standard G.784) to 1520.
This modification allows the interworking with those equipment (ie Marconi) sending L2 frames
over DCC exceeding 512bytes.

 DCC interworking with Lucent AITS/UITS can be supported.

 The system can work as a Mediation Device in order to manage from CT or OS other Alcatel-
Lucent non SDH Equipments (video, radio, access...) through the Q2/RQ2 interface (Q2–
RQ2/LTS Mediation Function).

2.3.2. IP OVER OSI TUNNELING FOR ATM/ES

This feature is applicable to NEs with ATM/Ethernet Switch boards. It consists in using
QB3/QECC channels to carry IP traffic terminated on the ISA boards. Only OSPF protocol is
supported. It is possible to change the "selector" to support routers as a gateway for the
management of ISA ES. The following 3 different selectors are supported:

 F0 -> Direct IP over CLNP encapsulation (Alcatel mode)

 CC -> Direct IP over CLNP encapsulation (Cisco mode)

 2F -> IP over GRE over CLNP encapsulation (RFC 3147)

2.3.3. OSI over IP tunneling on QB3

This feature allows the Element Manager to reach the GNEs (and all the relevant NEs behind
them) by using IP networking. This would permit to use an external DCN, based on IP only.
Hence, no OSI networking would be required on the external DCN.

2.3.4. SW bootstrap from Craft Terminal

This feature is necessary to download the first software release to the NE (basically during the
installation phase). Bootstrap of the NE is done from CT.

2.3.5. SW download

Two procedures of Software download are managed in order to upgrade the NE’s software
version:

 Local Software Download via ECT (Local SW download)

 Remote Software Download via OS (Remote SW download)

Remote software download is also available from Remote ECT.

Both local and Remote SW download support compressed (zipped) SW package transfer.

2.3.6. Performance Monitoring Management

The Performance Monitoring Process is performed for two different purposes:

 Maintenance (M2120)

 The monitoring is applied on the path or section layer

 Events are counted (in the available period) by 15 min. and 24H counters

In physical section layers, 3 termination point modes are supported: MON (Port Mode =
“Monitored” and ASAP != “No alarm”, AUTO (Port Mode = “Auto” and NMON (Port Mode =
“Monitored” and ASAP = “No alarm”. The AUTO mode behaves like the NMON mode with one
exception: if the LOS defect clears, the port mode is automatically changed to MON. This allows
for alarm-free installation without the burden of using a management system to change the
monitor mode.

As described above, the “AUTO-MON” implementation on OMSNs is compliant to ITU-T G.806

rec. In addition the following feature-enhancements have been introduced:

 Provisioning at the Network Element level for the expected behavior

(System Port Mode Default = “Auto” / “Monitored”) in order to avoid
impact on other customer networks

 A parameter at the physical port level allows management of the current

state of the port (“Auto” / ”Monitored”)

 No impact on current ASAP mechanism.

No Hold Off time is foreseen (only F4 filter applied).

Management System is remotely connected to Metro OMSN via DCC over STM-n network, the
management information from/to TSS-3 extracted by DCC channels has to be sent /received by
ISA-ES4 or ES16 on proper GBEth interface connected to the corresponding TSS-3. This is
possible thanks to the internal link between matrix and ISA-ES card.

Separation between Data and Management traffic is obtained via VLAN Switching. Both TSS-3
and ISA-ES16 perform L2 switching according to 802.1ad of data and management traffic.

Management traffic is marked by S-VLAN fixed to VID=4094 (Ethertype 88a8), such VLAN has to
be registered between TSS-3 and ISA-ES card. This implies that the ISA-ES card must be
configured as Provider Bridge.

2.7. TIMING

The Synchronization Subsystem (SETS SDH Equipment Timing Source according to ITU–T G.783)
provides the timing reference required by all the components in the network element and
represents the SDH Equipment Clock (SEC). The Synchronization Subsystem generates the
internal synchronizing clock locking one of three configurable (by software via CT and/or OS
commands) references:

 STM–N lines (STM–N synch references)

 2Mbit/s traffic ports (2Mbs synch references)

 2MHz/2Mbit/s external inputs (*) (2MHz/2Mbs synch references). 2Mbit/s synch w SSM is
managed in this release.

 Internal Oscillator

(*) The normal SERGI/New SERGI board provide only one external synchronization input + one
external synchronization output interface. The ESERGI board increases these numbers to two.

Up to 6 independent references can be defined among STM–N and 2Mbit/s traffic ports in the
system (Programmable multiple synch sources [max 6]).

Automatic selection of one of the above references is available through an internal selector,
which uses Quality (Synchronization Status Message algorithm) or priority criteria (SSM
standard inter-working). The SSM algorithm can be disabled via ECT or OS.

An external 2MHz or 2Mb/s output (*) is generated as a possible source for external devices.
Additionally the SSM protocol is supported according to the standard rules based on the
information field in time-slot 16 of the 2Mbs frame format.

SEC (SDH Equipment Clock) is used as internal timing source and to time the outgoing STM–N
signals.

When all the selected references are missing or the reference quality of incoming signals is under
a software selectable threshold the SETS (Synchronization Equipment Timing Source) goes into
holdover mode or into free–running mode if a reference stable for more than 30 minutes was
not stored. It is possible to force the free–running mode.

A dedicated alarm is provided when the node enters in holdover or free–running mode due to
either quality criteria or signal validity (Hold/Free–running alarm).

The holdover mode guarantees less than.37ppm of frequency drift per day (.37ppm/day
holdover accuracy).

SEC characteristics according to G.813 (opt. 1) (Free–running stability: 4.6ppm).

2.7.1.1. ADM with SSU using 2MHz reference signal.

The synchronization chain from STM-N (T1) signal to SEC (passing through SSU) consists of the
following steps:
 The Output External Reference (T4) is locked to a timing reference (T1) according to the
SSM (Synchronization Status Message) algorithm;

ED 01 CONFIDENTIAL

3AL 98002 ALBH FMZZA 50/64

  SSU is locked to 2MHz signal (T4) coming form SEC (or it is in free-running if the received

 SEC (Synchronous Equipment Clock) is locked to the filtered T3 (2MHz) coming from SSU;

document, use and communication of its contents not
All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this

The quality of the SEC output timing reference (T0) is set to:
 When SEC is locked to T3 coming form SSU, the quality of the timing reference selected
to generate T4 (Q1 in the figure);
 The quality of the SSU's Internal Oscillator when T4 is squelched (T4 is squelched if the
quality of the selected T1/T2 (in Selector A) is lower than SSU's internal Oscillator);
 The quality of the SEC internal oscillator if no timing references are available to generate
T0;
 The quality of the timing reference selected at the input T1 or T2, when T3 coming from
SSU fails.

DNU (Do Not Use) is transmitted back to the interface selected as timing source for T4.

2.7.1.2. ADM with SSU using 2Mbit/s reference signal with SSM supported.

Automatic DNU Generation

When ‘ADM with SSU’ using 2Mbit/s clock signal with SSM supported is configured, the DNU
generation, for avoiding timing loop, is performed according to ITU-T G.781 fig.12-13-14.

As long as the ADM transmits to SSU a T5 clock signal with a certain ‘SSM value’ and receives
from SSU a T6 clock signal with the same SSM value, the ADM assumes that the SSU selects the
T5 clock signal provided by the ADM itself as reference clock.

This will result in DNU insertion in the traffic output port associated with the traffic input port used
as source for the ADM clock. All other ADM outgoing signals will have the same SSM extracted
by T6 clock signal coming from SSU (Figure 4).

[1] SFOqa01554: Problem in 1662SMC equipment with ISA-ES16 board.

1. Equip ES16 on one 1662SMC and ES1 on another 1662SMC.
2. Configure both boards as 802.1ad and Pervlan STP, all ports work as ETB.
3. Create SDHVC12 between ES16 and ES1, monitor the traffic via a SB6000.
4. When the traffic is OK, then create 2XVC3xV on ES16, no XC created.
5. Activate/Deactivate the 2XVC3xV port twice each time and Ethernet traffic on SDH
VC12 is lost.
Problem appears only for 1XVC12 cross-cronnections. In case more VC12 are used,
the problem doesn’t appear.
Workaround:
The workaround is to activate the port again.

2.15. RELEASE 2.7B6: MIGRATIONS SUPPORTED

[1] Following migrations are supported and have been tested:

 2.7B5 (2.07.67) -> 2.7B6 (2.07.73) with and without ISA packages
 2.4B3 (2.04.33) -> 2.7B6 (2.07.73) with and without ISA packages

[2] For old NE releases, following migration paths should be applied:

 R2.7Bx -> R2.7B6
 R2.7Ax -> R2.7B6
 R2.6 -> R2.7A1 -> R2.7B6
 R2.5Bx -> R2.7A1 -> R2.7B6
 R2.4Bx -> R2.7B6
 R2.3Bx -> R2.4Bx -> R2.7B6

[3] It’s recommended to do migration to 2.7B6 and new ISA-ESx Release in 2 separate
steps (i.e. first upgrade to 2.7B6, then upgrade the ISA-ESx).

[4] 2.7B6 contains a new software component ECS, so the first time to download 2.7B6
may show mistake message on USM. Perform the download again to complete the
upgrade.

2.16. RELEASE 2.7B6: PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED& WARNING

[1] After finishing the network configuration login on all network elements, please
calibrate the NEs’ date & time to make sure the NEs have correct initial time/date and
before enabling the NTP protocol. Especially make sure that the time on Compact
ADM16 cards used for replacement is correctly set, before plugging in the new card.

[2] After configuring the Performance of CT or refresh the data of the Performance,
please wait for about 20 seconds, and then refresh data; otherwise the data will be
unavailable or will remain old info.

[3] Be aware that Software download and MIB backup need 2-4 hours to complete.

[4] The new software package downloaded from CT needs to be activated manually, and
then the EC and SC automatically restart. Otherwise the equipment will work with the
old package.

[5] It’s recommended to always backup MIB after change configure of NE (ie the IP
address). Please backup both Q3 part and SNMP part separately. In case the MIB
backup failed the first time (i.e. due to network/communication problems), please
restart the CT.

[6] Before to delete the synchronization source, release all active commands

[9] FAN Shelf Alarm Cable has to be connected to CONGI-A board (only applicable to
the CONGI AD** or AE** version).

[10] Path trace identifier (TIM) with repeat byte mode is not managed, even if it is reported
on CT.

[11] On VC12 terminated paths, TCT alarms and PM can be available only after enabling
“consequence action” of Monitor Configuration Menu.

[12] Use TP search function when create cross-connection to avoid wrong action.

[13] After configuring a new Board (Port or ACCESS), please refresh the TP list before
creating cross connection, OH create, OH delete etc to ensure that the new board can
be visible from CT.

[14] For hitless EPS switching between main and spare SYNTH using manual commands,
the NE has to be locked to a synchronization source (i.e. not be in free-running or
holdover mode), see ORANGE LED lights of SPARE SYNTH16.

[15] In 2f-Msspring before powering on a NE it is mandatory performing a double Forced

Switch Ring on the adjacent nodes, facing the switched off NE. These commands can
be released only when the NE startup procedure has been successfully completed.

[16] Virtual concatenated groups can inter-work only, if LCAS protocol is either enabled or
disabled on both termination sides.

[17] In order to change the configuration from VC12-xv to VC3-xv on ISA-ES1 the
following procedure must be followed:

a. Delete cross connection of VCX-xv

b. Set idle status for all VCs of the VCX-xv and disable LCAS

c. Delete the VCX-xv port configuration

d. Create a new VCX-xv port configuration

e. Enable the LCAS configuration and set active status for the VCX-xv

f. Create a new cross-connection of VCX-xv

[18] The Local port of ES1-8FX is fixed to 100M. During the configuration, please make
sure that “autonegotiation“ is set to disabled.

[19] After disabling J0 or J1, please wait a minute before re-enabling them. Otherwise the
TIM report might not be correct.

can’t work.

[22] For cross connecting the overhead of slots 9,10,13 and 14 the ESERGI card has to be
equipped.

[23] ISA Ethernet main board: in order to be able to configure the board it is necessary to
wait until it is active: the status can be verified either on the led on the front panel or
via the watch icon on craft terminal. The time necessary to complete the activation is
depending on the number of ISA Eth boards equipped in the shelf. For example:
1xISA Ethernet board: 25 minutes; 2 ISA Ethernet boards: the first board becomes
active after 40 minutes and the second after 50; 3 ISA Ethernet boards: the first board
becomes active after 55 minutes, the second after 65 and the third after 75.

[24] ISA GbE main board: in order to be able to configure the board it is necessary to wait
until it is active: the status can be verified either on the led on the front panel or via
the watch icon on craft terminal. The time necessary to complete the activation is
depending on the number of ISA GbE boards equipped in the shelf. For example:
1xISA GbE board: 40 minutes; 2 ISA GbE boards: the first board becomes active after
60 minutes and the second after 80; 3 ISA GbE boards: the first board becomes
active after 80 minutes, the second after 100 and the third after 120.

[25] It is mandatory to equip the fan shelf with fan units for all configurations of 1662SMC.
Regular cleaning of the fan filter is necessary in order to assure that the air flow isn’t
blocked.

[26] The ISA-ES16 software can be installed only by using SIBDL 2.2.3 (or newer) or by
using normal software download from CT/NM.

[27] After installing USM for ISA on the CT, such as: MPLSUSM, ATMUSM, FASTETHUSM,
MPLS FASTETHUSM, please install NE-CONF V1.16 again (it’s a component of
CraftTerminal-mSST_CADM). When finishing to install CraftTerminal-mSSt_CADM,
please don’t remove the support directories “ALCATEL-DISKS”. The NE-CONF V1.16
can be found in this directory.

[28] After power on of NE or plug in of the access port, Auto Negotiation has to be
restarted and the local port refreshed on ES16.

[29] When setting ES4 on the USM, GMII or SMII has to be selected.

[30] On the 4xANY board, the modules must be configured on the Craft Terminal before
to plug them into the board, to allow correct reporting of LOS alarm.

[31] If CONGI 3W is used as 2-wire, together for example with Enhanced SERGI
(3AL98023AA**), the 48V positive battery (top pin of battery connector) should be
connected with equipment GND (middle ping of battery). This can be done for
example at the rack level.
