1 Introduction

For almost two decades, Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) has been the preferred
transport technology over optical fibers. SDH is the dominant transport protocol in
virtually all long-haul networks (voice and data) as well as in metro networks that were
originally developed for voice traffic. As a resilient, well-understood transport
mechanism, SDH has stood the test of time. Its reliability is unsurpassed. The ability of
SDH to support 50-msec switching to backup paths, combined with extensive
performance monitoring features has resulted in the 99.999% availability that
distinguishes carrier-class transport.

Legacy SDH was designed mainly to transport circuit oriented services like voice and as
such is an inherently rigid and inefficient method for transporting data. Traditionally a
single wire speed Gigabit Ethernet service (1.25G) will be allocated to one STM-16
channel (2.5G). This means 48 % of this STM-16 pipe remains as idle capacity.

Fig 1.1: Future Traffic Growth

The phenomenal growth in bandwidth, connectivity and content generated by Internet,


Intranet and broadband applications, has made native data transfer a very important

5
criteria for telecommunication infrastructure (refer to Fig 1.1). Ethernet has become the
de facto standard for enterprise networks. In Storage Area Networks (SAN), ESCONTM,
FICONTM and Fiber Channel are by far today‘s most dominant technologies.

The solution is Next Generation SDH — technology that transforms rigid, circuit-
oriented SDH networks to a universal transport mechanism that is optimised for both
voice and data. The technology enables carriers to keep up with growing demands for
bandwidth, to efficiently carry both streaming and bursty traffic, and adapt to constantly
changing traffic patterns. Multiple protocols and thus services are supported: from basic
TDM voice, Ethernet as well as SAN.

Siemens has introduced a new range of equipment that makes the promise of Next
Generation SDH a reality: the SURPASS hiT 70series. This platform provides the
flexibility of true packet switching and Ethernet transport, while operating with the
inherent reliability of SDH. Multiple network elements are integrated and consolidated
into a single compact unit. The efficiency of this approach, together with extensive use
of highly integrated components allows the SURPASS hiT 70series to be offered at
lower costs than current solutions.

Data + Voice = SURPASS hiT 70 series

In order to address the varying needs and requirements of carrier‘s carrier, carriers and
enterprises, the SURPASS hiT 70 series consists of a diverse range of products, namely

SURPASS hiT 7070 Double Core (DC)


SURPASS hiT 7070 Single Core (SC)
SURPASS hiT 7050 FlatPack 1 (FP1)
SURPASS hiT 7050 CompactCore (CC)

2 General System Description

2.1 Fundamentals of SURPASS hiT 7050

SURPASS hiT 7050 is a modular system designed for applications at customer


premises and the metro access layer. The equipment itself is designed to provide an
ultra-compact, cost effective and flexible multi-service network node or termination.
SURPASS hiT 7050 supports PDH, SDH and Ethernet signals at various bit-rates. The
switching fabric is able to aggregate, groom and cross-connect traffic without
restrictions, from VC-4 down to VC-12 level.

The following variants are available:


• SURPASS hiT 7050 FlatPack 1 (FP1) with a switching capacity of 32x32 STM-1
(5G) and
• SURPASS hiT 7050 CompactCore (CC) with a switching capacity of
64x64 STM-1 (10G) and enhanced availability.

All can be equipped with 2 different trunk port types:


• SURPASS hiT 7050 FlatPack 1 (FP1) with STM-1 or STM-4 uplink capacity
• SURPASS hiT 7050 CompactCore ( CC ) with STM-4 or STM-16 uplink capacity

Apart from the standard SDH and PDH cards, SURPASS hiT 7050 also features
Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) interfaces. As the demand for transporting data
protocols over today’s public telecommunication infrastructure grows, the idea of
encapsulating packets inside SDH frames emerged. However, many of today’s Packet
over SDH (PoS) technology is either proprietary or inefficient in accommodating the
bursty nature of IP packets. Due to these inherent shortcomings, a new generic but
standardized framing mechanism for data is defined.

7
GFP or ITU-T G.7041, was defined by ITU and also ANSI as a generic mechanism to
adapt today’s data protocols to a byte-aligned network such as SDH. Fig 1.3 illustrates
the GFP-based data interface cards for SURPASS hiT 7050.

2.2 System Architecture

There are several scenarios whereby SURPASS hiT 7050 can be deployed:
• Terminal Multiplexer
• Add/Drop Multiplexer
• Small Local Cross Connect

2.2.1 Terminal Multiplexer (TMX)

Working Line

TMX TMX

Protection Line

TDM/Data traffic TDM/Data traffic

Fig 2.2.1: Point to Point link with SURPASS hiT 7050

Fig 2.1 illustrates a straightforward point to point network with one TMX at the
transmitting end and another at the receiving end.

At the TMX, the client equipment is connected to the TMX through the tributary
interfaces. The connectivity of SURPASS hiT 7050 allows to terminate the full line
capacity either STM-1/-4 or STM-16 with a very flexible mix of PDH and SDH
interfaces.

Apart from that, if native Ethernet frame handling is required, then the TMX can also be
equipped with GFP traffic interfaces.

For the uplink trunk a fully redundant protection line can be established.

2.2.2 Add Drop Multiplexer (ADMX)

Working Line
TMX ADMX TMX
Protection Line

TDM/Data traffic
TDM/Data traffic TDM/Data traffic

Fig 2.2.2: ADMX in a Linear Add Drop Topology

An ADMX is normally used at an intermediate site to add/drop client traffic. In Fig 2.2,
an ADMX is located in between two TMXs. At the ADMX, selected traffic is
added/dropped either at VC-12/-3 or VC-4 level, while through connected traffic is
transparently passed through.

The connectivity of SURPASS hiT 7050 allows to terminate the full capacity of line
east and line west (STM-1/-4 or STM-16) with a very flexible mix of PDH and SDH
interfaces at tributary side.

Apart from that, if native Ethernet frame handling is required, then the ADMX can also
be equipped with GFP traffic interfaces.

For the trunk links a full redundant protection line can be established (for STM-16 2-
fibre MS-SPRing).

2.2.3 Local Cross Connect (LXC)


Typically, an operator’s network consists not only of a single ring but multiple rings,
with each ring covering different geographical boundary. SURPASS hiT 7050 can be
deployed at the hub of the network as a LXC, routing transit traffic going from one ring
to another ring.

TDM/Data traffic

Fig 2.2.3: SURPASS hiT 7050 as Small Local Cross Connect

With a 100% non-blocking switching fabric, any cross-connection between line to line,
trib to trib, trib to line or line to trib can be realised.

2.3 Control Architecture

System control and monitoring is performed by a distributed architecture of


interconnected microprocessors. Alarm and status information is processed for each unit
by an independent microprocessor ‘Peripheral System Controller’ (PSC). The main
controller ‘Master System Controller’ (MSC) monitors and controls all components of
the SURPASS hiT 7050 network element. The MSC will communicate with the PSC
and the PSC with the traffic cards via different internal interfaces.

The Q interface is a ITU-T M.3010 interface with high speed Ethernet access (10/100
BASE-T full/half-duplex with an RJ-45 connector). The equipment will also provide an
F interface to TNMS-CT.

For feature enhancements or debugging, software download is possible for all units of
the system. During download the traffic is not affected.

11
2.4 Timing / Synchronisation Architecture

The following synchronisation sources are provided:


• From any received STM-N line or STM-N tributary signal.
• From a 2.048 kHz signal (acc. G.811) in T3
• Optional input at 2048kbit/s incl. SSMB processing in T3
• From an internal oscillator

2.5 Software / Firmware

Software download is provided remotely and locally via element manager or local craft
terminal respectively. Automatic swap to backup software (stored in non-volatile
memory) in case of download failure is possible without distortion of existing traffic.

The internal configuration database of the system can be uploaded and downloaded. It
provides redundancy and robustness against any failure.

2.6 Automatic Laser Shutdown (ALS)

In order to minimise or eliminate risk of exposure to laser radiation from fiber breaks,
all optical SDH interfaces in the SURPASS hiT 70series support the Automatic Laser
Shutdown (ALS) functionality.

Whenever a SDH interface detects a Loss of Signal (LOS) for 500ms, it will enter into
an ALS state. The interface will then start sending a restart pulse (with a width of 2s),
for every 100s. If the failure is fixed and the system detects that LOS has disappeared
for at least 3s, the system will then return back to Normal Operation mode.

The ALS functionality of SURPASS hiT 7050 can be disabled. If the ALS is disabled,
the laser will always be switched on regardless of the circumstances. For test and
monitoring purposes, an operator can also initiate a Forced Shutdown of the laser via
TNMS-CT.

12
The optical safety procedure of ALS mechanism for SURPASS hiT 7050 is in
accordance to ITU-T G.664. (The Ethernet interface in SURPASS hiT 7050 by nature is
a Class 1 Laser product. Thus, it will not equipped with any ALS functionality)

2.7 Overhead Cross-Connection Functionality

Overhead bytes can be cross-connected by means of the overhead cross-connection


function (OHCC) within the 7050 controller unit. The granularity is one byte. The table
below gives an overview to the overhead bytes, which can be accessed by the OHCC
function.

Table 2.7a: Overview to Accessible Bytes for OHCC Purposes

Note: The SOH numbering scheme (a, b, c) defines the row (a), the multi-
column of an STM-1 channel (b) and the STM channel within an
STM-N signal (c).

13
The overhead cross-connection function allows the following flexible connections of:
• DCCR and DCCM bytes.
• Other RSOH and MSOH bytes.

The global capacities for OH cross-connection required for SURPASS hiT 7050
systems are:
• FP1: 16 OH bytes can be cross connected (including DCC channels cross-
connection at physical layer) → 16x16
• CC: 48 OH bytes can be cross connected (including DCC channels cross-
connection at physical layer) → 48x48

For transparent DCC cross connections, it must be noted that some limitations apply
regarding the capacity of the DCC-Bus. The DCC-Bus limits to up to 9xDCCR and
8xDCCM the total number of the DCC channels that can be managed by the system, i.e.
the transparently cross-connected in addition to the ones diverted to the MCF.

2.8 Protection Architecture

As today’s network carries more and more mission critical traffic, protection is a must
to guarantee minimum downtime. The SURPASS hiT 70series features extensive
protection mechanisms according to a number of ITU-T standards.

2.8.1 SDH Traffic Protection

1+1 Linear Multiplex Section Protection (MSP)

In 1+1 Linear MSP, the client traffic is always transmitted over the working and
protection path simultaneously. In the case of fiber break, the SDH card detects the fault
and the switching fabric will automatically select the incoming traffic from the
protection path.

In SURPASS hiT 7050 this feature is realized on per port basis. All related interfaces
.offer at least 2 ports and therefore it is not necessary to have a dedicated working and a
dedicated protection card. As all the optical traffic cards offer hot-swappable optical
plug-in modules (SFPs) the 1+1 MSP protection always comes with some kind of
hardware protection.

Fig 2.8.1b: Traffic flow for 1+1 MSP with protection switching

MSP can operate either in single-ended or dual-ended mode.

By default, the MSP is always set to non-revertive mode. Revertive operation is also
possible. In revertive operation, the system will revert back to the working path as soon
as the failure has been fixed. The user will be allowed to set the Wait To Restore Time
from 1 to 12 minutes in the step of 1 minute. (The Wait To Restore Time refers to the
switch back time for the MSP switch after recovery from a failure)

All SDH traffic interfaces of SURPASS hiT 7050 support 1+1 MSP protection scheme.
Protection switching is < 50 ms as recommended by ITU-T G.783. Furthermore,
protection switching for 1+1 Linear MSP can be initiated remotely via the TNMS-CT.
The following external requests can be issued:
• LP (Lockout of Protection) – An external request which denies all normal traffic
signals to the protection section
• FS-W (Forced Switch to Working) - An external request which switches normal
traffic to working unless an equal or higher priority switch command is in effect
• FS-P (Forced Switch to Protection) – An external request which switches normal
traffic to protection unless an equal or higher priority switch command is in
effect
• MS-W (Manual Switch to Working) – An external request of lower priority,
which initialized switching to the working channel

16
• MS-P (Manual Switch to Protection) – An external request of lower priority,
whic initialized switching to the protection channel
• EXER (Exercise) – An external request for checking the response on APS
bytes.

1+1 Sub Network Connection Protection (SNCP)

SNCP is realized within the switching fabric itself. At the head end, the working and
protection signal is always broadcast simultaneously to the tail end. The switching
fabric at the tail end will then select either one of the signals.

In SURPASS hiT 7050, the 1+1 SNCP can be categorized into (i) High Order SNCP;
(ii) Low Order SNCP.

The implementation of 1+1 SNCP in SURPASS hiT 7050 is in accordance with ITU-T
G.783. It operates on the single ended mode and is always in non revertive mode.
Protection switching time is < 50 ms.

2 Fiber MS-SPRing (2F-BSHR) for STM-16

The 2 fiber BSHR implementation in SURPASS hiT 7050 supports a minimum of 3


NEs and a maximum of 16 NEs. In 2 fiber BSHR, half of the total ring capacity is
always reserved for protection. If a fiber break occurs, the traffic will be re-routed in the
opposite direction via the protection path, back to the terminating equipment. In
SURPASS hiT 7050, the BSHR is always in revertive mode. The Wait to Restore time
can be configured from 1 to 12 minutes in steps of 1 minute.

The following conditions will automatically trigger a protection switching:


• Signal Failure – Ring
• Signal Degrade – Ring
• Card Failure

In addition, an operator can also issued the following external protection switching
request via the TNMS-CT. The following switching requests can be issued via a
TNMS-CT:
• Lockout of Working Channels
• Forced Switch – Ring
• Manual Switch – Ring
• Exerciser – Ring

Apart from that, the squelch tables can be configured by the operator in order to avoid
misconnections in case of multiple span failures. (The squelch table is similar to a ring
map which consists of a list of all the nodes ID within the ring. It is used to ensure that
all the traffic enter and leave the correct node.)
Protection switching is controlled using the K1 and K2 bytes as recommended by ITU-
T G.841. Switching time is always < 50 ms.

Fig 2.8.2: Relationship between the Ethernet and SDH layer

Fig 2.5 depicts the relationship between the Ethernet and SDH layer with the Ethernet
layer laying at top of the SDH layer. Since the SDH layer provides the underlying
transport mechanism for Ethernet, the Ethernet layer can utilize all the well-known SDH
protection schemes like BSHR, MSP, etc.

Nevertheless, it is also possible for the Ethernet layer to use its own L2 protection
scheme: (i) Spanning Tree Protocol; and (ii) RPR protection (Note that RPR protection
will not be covered in this Technical Description, as it is only applicable for the
SURPASS hiT 7070 equipment).

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

STP was originally designed to eliminate loops in a bridged LAN environment.


Normally, there are 2 or more bridges connecting two LAN segments, with one as a
backup in case of the working bridge fails. However, it may create loops in a network.
The receiver typically ends up receiving the same copy of data twice or more as a result
of this looping.

To ensure that only one active path exists between two equipments at one time, STP
was designed to remove redundant paths and to redirect the traffic over the protection
path in case the working path breaks down.

In the SURPASS hiT 70series, the system is designed to be transparent to STP. Any
STP packets will be transparently forwarded by SURPASS hiT 70series.

2.8.3 Hardware Protection

1:N Protection for electrical 2 Mbps interfaces


SURPASS hiT 7050 CC supports an optional 1:N protection for the 2 Mbps PDH
interface cards.

The 1:N protection requires the presence of the Line Switching Unit (LSU) cards. The
LSU is a pluggable unit that performs line termination and protection switching. In the
event that a working card fails, the relays in the LSU will be closed. As a result, the
customer traffic will be forwarded through the protection bus to the protection card. The
switch matrix will then select the traffic from the protection card.

1+1 Protection for electrical 34/45 Mbps interfaces

SURPASS hiT 7050 CC supports an optional 1+1 protection for the 34/45 Mbps PDH
interface cards.

The 1+1 protection requires the presence of the Line Switching Unit (LSU) cards. The
LSU is a pluggable unit that performs line termination and protection switching. In the
event that a working card fails, the relays in the LSU will be closed. As a result, the
customer traffic will be forwarded through the protection bus to the protection card. The
switch matrix will then select the traffic from the protection card.

Switch Fabric and Clock Unit Protection

In SURPASS hiT 7050 CC the SETS is integrated as a module inside the switch fabric
card. Every NE can always be equipped with working and protection matrix/clock
cards.

All the transmission functions and information within the working switching fabric will
be duplicated and stored within the protection switching fabric, so that in case of failure,
the protection switching fabric will take over the task of the defect switching fabric
without any major delay.

From the SETS point of view, the working card will be configured as a master and
synchronized to a reference source, while the protection card will be operating as a
slave and synchronized to the working card.

In the event of failure of the working card, the protected card will take over the
synchronization function from the defect card.

3 Subsytems

The centralised functions of the SURPASS hiT 7050 FP1 (switching matrix, timing,
overhead, power supply, control) are co-located within the Main Board. Due to the high
level of integration and different switch/backplane capacities, SURPASS hiT 7050 FP1
each require their own dedicated Main Boards. Furthermore, both FP1 will have Main
Board types that provide an EOW module. In the case of SURPASS hiT 7050 CC the
switching matrix/timing and power supply units exist separately from the controller unit
with optional redundancy.

3.1 Main System Controller (MSC)

The Main System Controller (MSC) is the main controller unit for SURPASS hiT 7050,
located on the Main Board (or controller card in the case of 7050 CC). It carries the
SEMF and MCF functionality and is also responsible for overhead handling (for
overhead cross-connection details refer to Section 9.2). The MSC supports external
management interfaces (Q) and internal control interfaces. As for the MCF
functionality, access and processing of DCCR and DCCM overhead bytes are provided.

3.2 Peripheral System Controller (PSC)

The Peripheral System Controller (PSC) of the network element provides the access to
all devices. It pre-processes all the relevant signals coming from the controlled devices,
and interfaces the Main System Controller.

3.3 Synchronous Equipment Timing Source (SETS)

Frequency synchronized networks like SDH require all the equipments within the
network to be synchronized to a reference clocking source in order to guarantee error
free performance. In SDH network, all the nodes are normally organized in a master-
slave relationship, with the higher nodes feeding synchronization information to the

21
lower nodes. All the clocking information can always be traced to a Primary Reference
Clock (PRC).

In SURPASS hiT 7050 the SETS, located on the Main Board, is responsible for the
local synchronization function within every network element. The SETS can be
synchronized from the following sources:
• T1 timing signal 8kHz, extracted from any STM-N port
• T3 external timing source 2048kHz / 2048Kbit/s
• Internal Oscillator whereby the clock quality is in accordance to ITU G.813

Under normal operating conditions, the SETS will select either T1 or T3 as a


sychronisation source. This selected source is known as T0. The T0 will be distributed
to all the traffic cards and controller within the network element. Every outgoing SDH
signal from the network element will then be synchronized from this T0 clock pulse.
Besides generating T0, the SETS also generates an outgoing synchronization clock
pulse, T4, to other equipments.

The SETS can run in 3 different modes namely:


• Locked – refers to an operating condition of the clock whereby its output signal
is controlled by an external timing source
• Holdover – refers to an operating condition of the clock that has lost track of its
input reference, and as a consequence the clock has to used previously stored
condition to control the input
• Free running – occurs when the output signal of the clock is locked to an internal
oscillator

Synchronization Status Message (SSM) Processing

• Incoming Sources
The SSM is extracted from all incoming SDH and T3 signals. It will be
processed and inserted into the outgoing data streams. The received SSM can
also be overwritten by the operator assuming that the operator has a valid SSM.

22
• Outgoing Sources
The SSM currently selected for generation of T0 is inserted in all the SDH
output ports. At the same time, the SSM currently selected for generating T4 is
also inserted in the T4 output port.

The operator can additionally force the insertion of SSM ´Do Not Use´ in any of the
ports, in case the operator wishes to disable this individual port from being used as a
synchronization source by another NE.

3.4 Power Supply

The Main Board incorporates a power supply unit with power converters (centralised
power supply) to provide a common set of supply voltages to all plug-in units. In cases
where other voltage levels are required, the plug-in unit itself will be equipped with its
own power converter to provides the necessary supply voltage. In the case of SURPASS
hiT 7050 CC the power supply unit exists as a separate card with optional redundancy.

The power converter is operated from two independent battery feeds. To inhibit noise
disturbance and mutual interference, each plug-in-unit is supplied with appropriate
filtering. To protect other units against insertion/extraction transients, for every card a
slow start facility is provided.

23
3.5 Switching Fabrics

The TDM switching fabric is integrated into the Main Board for both SURPASS hiT
7050 FP1. In the case of SURPASS hiT 7050 CC the TDM switching fabric (with
integrated SETS) exists as a separate card with optional redundancy.

3.5.1 VC-12 Switching Fabric (LSW64)


LSW64 is the VC-12 switching fabric used in SURPASS hiT 7050 FlatPack1. It has a
switching matrix size of 32x32 STM-1 equivalents at VC-4/3/12 level. Every interface
slot in the subrack in the subrack is directly connected to the LSW64 via the backplane
and each slot is allocated a total bandwidth of 8 x VC4 by the switching fabric itself.
(see Section 4.1 for details).

As a fully non blocking switching matrix, it permits


• full cross connectivity between all traffic ports: from line to line, tributary to
tributary, line to tributary and tributary to line
• any bidirectional and unidirectional point to point connections
• broadcast (1 -> m with m < 1008)
• drop and continue
• 1+1 SNCP head end and 2 -> 1 selector for 1+1 SNCP tail end

Besides being non blocking, the LSW64 is also transparent for contiguous concatenated
signals, VC-4-4c.

3.5.2 VC-12 Switching Fabric (LSW64-2)


LSW64-2 is the VC-12 switching fabric used in SURPASS hiT 7050 CompactCore. It
has a switching matrix size of 64x64 STM-1 equivalents at VC-4/3/12 level. Every
interface slot in the subrack is directly connected to the LSW64 via the backplane and
each slot is allocated a total bandwidth of 4, 8, 32 x VC-4 by the switching fabric itself
(see Section 4.2 for details).

24
As a fully non blocking switching matrix, it permits

• full cross connectivity between all traffic ports: from line to line, tributary to
tributary, line to tributary and tributary to line
• any bi-directional and uni-directional point to point connections
• broadcast
• drop and continue
• 1+1 SNCP head end and 2 -> 1 selector for 1+1 SNCP tail end

Besides being non blocking, the LSW64 is also transparent for contiguous concatenated
signals, VC-4-Xc. with X = 4 and 16.

3.5.3 VC-12 Switching Fabric and Clock Unit (LSW64-P)


This is the VC-12 switching fabric used in SURPASS hiT 7050 CC. It is similar to the
LSW64-2, except that it also incorporates the SETS functionality.

3.6 Optical Interfaces

3.6.1 Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Modules


In SURPASS hiT 7050 all optical transceivers for STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, optical
Fast and Gigabit Ethernet are pluggable. Due to the fact that a majority of today’s
optical transceivers are directly soldered onto printed circuit boards, the only option to
replace the transceiver is to replace the whole traffic card.

This inflexibility has been eliminated in the SURPASS hiT 7050. A pluggable
transceiver (SFP) can be plugged/unplugged from the designated port without having to
physically remove the whole traffic card.

Every SFP module contains a user EEPROM, which is used to store all the relevant
information of the module like part number, supplier name, date, wavelength and etc.
Besides that, the EEPROM also of a specific checksum sequence for error detection.

25
Whenever a SFP is plugged into a port, the PSC will read the module’s internal data via
a 2-wire Digital Serial Interface. The PSC will then check all the information contained
within the EEPROM for type mismatch and checksum error. If the PSC detects an
error, it will immediately send a warning to the MSC. If all information contained
within the EEPROM is correct, the port will switch automatically to EQUIPPED state.
TNMS-CT will then display the part number of the EQUIPPED port.

LC connectors are standard for all optical interfaces.

For information regarding planning data refer to Section 5.3.

27
3.7 Electrical Interfaces

For information regarding planning data refer to Section 5.4.

3.7.1 2 Mbps PDH Interface (P1-21)


The P1-21 handles the 2 Mbps PDH signal. Every P1-21 has 21 x 2 Mbps ports,
equipped with metrical high density connectors (HM 2mm Z-PACK).

In the receive direction, the P1-21 terminates the incoming VC-12 from the low order
switching fabric before performing path overhead monitoring. The payload will be
extracted and mapped into the outgoing PDH signals. In the transmit direction, the card
maps the contents of the PDH signals to a VC-12 and generates the respective path
overhead.

3.7.2 2 Mbps PDH Interface (P1-42)


The P1-42 handles the 2 Mbps PDH signal. Every P1-42 has 42 x 2 Mbps ports,
equipped with metrical high density connectors (HM 2mm Z-PACK).

In the receive direction, the P1-42 terminates the incoming VC-12 from the low order
switching fabric before performing path overhead monitoring. The payload will be
extracted and mapped into the outgoing PDH signals.
In the transmit direction, the card maps the contents of the PDH signals to a VC-12 and
generates the respective path overhead.

3.7.3 34/45 Mbps PDH Interface (P3-3)


The P3-3 handles the 34/45 Mbps PDH signal. Every P3-3 has 3 x 34/45 Mbps ports,
equipped with Micro Coax connectors (type 1.0/2.3).

In the receive direction, the P3-3 terminates the incoming VC-3 from the low order
switching fabric before performing path overhead monitoring. The payload will be
extracted and mapped into the outgoing PDH signals. In the transmit direction, the card
maps the contents of the PDH signals to a VC-3 and generates the respective path
overhead.

28
3.7.4 4-port STM-1 Electrical Interface (E155-4)
The E155-4 supports up to 4 electrical STM-1 interfaces equipped with Micro Coax
connectors (type 1.0/2.3). All cable connectors on the E155-4 have front access. The
traffic protection is 1+1 for both line and port.

3.8 Ethernet Interfaces

As more and more clients share the same infrastructure, it has become increasingly
critical for service providers to supervise and control the bandwidth consumption of
every single user within their network. Every provisioned Mbps must be tracked and
recorded. No user shall be allowed to consume more than the contracted bandwidth.
Every user must be subjected to some level of admission control in order to guarantee
fair usage of bandwidth.

Thus, all Ethernet interfaces of SURPASS hiT 70series supports near end flow control
and bit rate limiting. Every incoming Ethernet packets are stored temporarily inside a
buffer. The bit rate of the traffic flow will be measured, and if the measured bandwidth
exceeds the pre-programmed value, the flow control system will send a PAUSE frame
to the source. The PAUSE frame will inform the client to stop sending any frames for a
certain period of time. This sophisticated flow control scheme allows bandwidth
throttling without significant packet loss. (Due to this admission control scheme, all
Ethernet equipments connected to the Ethernet interface of SURPASS hiT 70series
must be able to support full duplex operation)

The following Ethernet interfaces are available for SURPASS hiT 7050:
• 4-port Ethernet and Fast Ethernet – Electrical (E100-4)
• 8-port Ethernet and Fast Ethernet – Electrical (E100-8)
• 8-port Ethernet and Fast Ethernet – Electrical (E100S-8)
• 6-port Ethernet and Fast Ethernet – Optical (O100-6)
• 4-port Gigabit Ethernet – Optical (O1000-4)
• 4-port Gigabit Ethernet – Electrical (E1000-4)

29
(Note that the jitter performance of the above interfaces is in accordance with IEEE
802.3)
Each of the above mentioned interfaces are transparent to 802.3, 802.1p and 802.1q
compliant Ethernet frames with a maximum size of 1800 bytes. (VLAN and Priority
information within the Ethernet frames will be transparently forwarded without being
altered, modified or interpreted).

Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) acc. G.7041 is used for mapping Ethernet frames
onto SDH. The following describes the implementation of GFP in the SURPASS hiT
70series Ethernet interfaces.

Initially, all the incoming Ethernet frames will be stored inside a “First In, First Out”
(FIFO) buffer within the MAC controller. If the FIFO buffer fills up, the MAC
controller will immediately send a PAUSE frame to the client equipment.

The GFP Header is then appended to the received Ethernet frames. After the GFP
encapsulation process, the frame is transferred to a FIFO buffer. Inside the FIFO buffer,
the size of the payload is determined and this value will be inserted into the Payload
Length Indicator (PLI) field. After that, the encapsulated frame will be transferred to the
PoS framer. The PoS framer is responsible for payload and header scrambling, Frame
Check Sequence (FCS) generation/termination and Core Header Checksum
generation/verification. See Figure 3.8a for a depiction of this procedure.

Fig 3.8b : GFP mapping within a SDH container

In SURPASS hiT 70series, every Ethernet port can be allocated its own dedicated VC
Group. Depending on the exact interface type the following VC groups are possible:
• VC-12-nv with n = 1...46
• VC-3-nv with n = 1, 2
• VC-4-nv with n = 1…8

Instead of utilizing a single VC group per port, GFP technology offers the possibility of
aggregating traffic from different ports into a single VC group (sub-channeling). The
following mapping options are thus possible:
• One port into one VC group
• All ports into one VC group
• N ports into X VC groups (N < X with Xmax = 8)

In order to further enhance the bandwidth granularity within every VC group, the bitrate limiter permits
the bandwidth within a VC group to be flexibly scaled in steps of 1 Mbps granularity for Ethernet/Fast
Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports.

31
Apart from that, it is also possible to monitor the quality of the incoming packets on a
per port basis. The performance monitoring function at every port is responsible to
gather all the relevant statistics of the incoming packets.

In coping with the rapidly changing bandwidth requirements in today’s metropolitan


network services, the Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS) has been defined
under ITU-T G.7042. This standard enables the dynamic and hitless (non traffic-
affecting) addition and removal of individual VCs from a VC group. This enables
customers to modify their subscribed bandwidth in accordance with actual usage or as
stipulated in the Service Level Agreement. In the SURPASS hiT 7050, all Ethernet/Fast
Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces will support LCAS functionality.

For information regarding Ethernet planning data please refer to Section 5.5. For a
summary of GFP mapping for 7050 Ethernet interfaces refer to Table 3.8.

5.8 Telemetry Interface

Connector
The Telemetry Interfaces (TIFs) are accessible via a Sub-D connector with fifteen pins
at the Front Panel. The connector block is commonly used by the alarms contact and the
TIF interfaces. The Sub-D connector provides lines for 3 inputs (sensors) (TIF_IN1..3),
1 output (actor) port sensors (TIF_OUT1).

Input characteristics
A TIF input supervises the input voltage against ground. The input voltage must be
negative against ground. The relation between the input state (active, inactive) and the
logical alarm (raised, cleared) is reported and can be configured via the management
interface.

x = customer-specified voltage for active state (TIF_INx)


Number of Input ports 3
Input voltage range: x V_ to (x-75) V_
Voltage range for active state: x V_ to (x-3) V_
Voltage range for inactive state: (x-10) V_ to (x-75) V_
Input current range (input connected to ground): 1 to 3 mA
TIF-common_in range (TIF-COM-IN): (x-30) V_ to (x-75) V_

Voltage pulses in the range of +100 V to - 200 V with a duration of 5 ms shall not
damage the interface.

Output characteristics
A TIF output is an electronic switch (FET) against ground. The switch voltage must be
negative against ground. The relation between the output state (active, inactive) and the
logical configuration (0,1) is reported and can be configured via the management
interface.

Inactive (open) state Impedance > 100 kOhm


0 to –85 V
Active (shorted to ground) Impedance < 50 Ohm
Max. current (active) 130 mA

53
Current pulses in the range of +100 mA to - 250 mA with duration of 5 ms do not
damage the interface. Voltage pulses in the range of +100 V to - 300 V with duration of
5 ms do not damage the interface.

5.9 Synchronisation Interfaces

5.9.1 T4 Synchronisation Output


The 2048 kHz synchronization output interface is according ITU-T G.703. The
frequency range is limited to +/- 4.6 ppm. This is generally the case with SEC
synchronization equipment. The table below describes the electrical specifications.

Frequency 2048 kHz ± 4.6 ppm

ƒ1 = 20 Hz to ƒ4 = 100 kHz (Note)
NOTE – This value is valid for network timing distribution equipments. Other values may be specified
for timing output ports of digital links carrying the network timing.

There is no return loss requirement for T4. It is up to the user to terminate the output
with either 75Ω or 120Ω. The output is floating and can be connected to ground by the
user. Selecting one termination yields the appropriate level.

6 Maintenance and Commissioning

6.1 Maintenance Philosophy


The equipment alarm and monitoring philosophy is to provide sufficient alarm
information to enable fault localisation on replaceable unit level within a system. The
design of the equipment is such that no regular maintenance adjustment is necessary.
Maintenance actions (e.g. for fault location, configuration) can be performed via
TNMS-CT or TNMS interface locally or remotely.

6.2 Self Test/Test Access


Several test monitor points are provided. Access to information regarding the status of
the optical interfaces such as laser power and receive optical power, loss of incoming
signals etc. are available via the central controller and TNMS-CT or TNMS.
During start-up the SURPASS hiT 7050 network elements perform extensive basic
HW/SW self-tests. Correct operation of HW/SW is monitored during operation.

6.3 Performance Monitoring


Performance of the system under operating conditions is monitored by processing of the
internal Error Monitoring Bytes to the SDH frame (B1, B2 & B3) for all SDH
interfaces. The error information is passed to the controller which calculates the relevant
line error rate and the performance parameters according to G.826. The performance
information is also passed to the TNMS and TNMS-CT on request.
