The DIP switch is ON when in up position, and OFF when in down position.
DIP switch 3 is used to control the cabinet indicators.

The DIP switch 3 needs to work with the related hosts. By default, the switch is set
to ON (in up position). In some special zones, the DIP switch is set to OFF (in
down position).
DIP switch 4 is used to set the power system used.
When the DIP switch 4 is OFF, the working voltage is 48 V DC. When the switch
is ON, the working voltage is 60 V DC. The default state is OFF.

OptiX BWS 1600G
2.4 Interface Description

The PMU in the power box fulfils alarm output, input and cascade functions. In the
PMU, ALARM is an interface for the external alarms, while SERIAL for the
internal alarms.
2.4.1 SERIAL Interface

A SERIAL is a communication interface between the PMU and the subrack in the
cabinet. The SERIAL is also an interface for driving signal of the cabinet indicator.
For the cables between a SERIAL interface and the subracks, see Figure 2-3.
Cable W1 is connected with the upper subrack, W2 with the middle subrack and
W3 with the lower subrack. W4 is a cable for driving green, red and orange
indicators at the cabinet top.
Figure 2-3 Alarm cables between a SERIAL interface and the subracks
There are two types of alarms in a cabinet of the transmission equipment:

Visual alarm: including red indicator alarm (critical) and yellow indicator
alarm (major).
Audio alarm: given off by a buzzer. Audio alarm is triggered by critical
alarms.
When the SCC board gives out a critical alarm signal, the red indicator flashes and
the buzzer buzzes. The MUTE switch at the cabinet top or the ALC switch of the
SCC board controls the buzz sound.
2.4.2 ALARM Interface

The transmission equipment outputs the alarm signal of the cabinet to the
centralised alarming system.
The power box provides four alarm outputs, one for major alarm, one for critical
alarm, and the other two for auxiliary Boolean value. If the centralised alarming
system is in audio alarm mode, the alarm mute function is required.

OptiX BWS 1600G
The alarm signal is led out from the ALARM interface of the PMU.
For the diagram of pins (DB50) of an ALARM interface, see Figure 2-4.
For the assignment of the pins, see Table 2-4.
For the usage of the pins, see Table 2-5.

Note
When an alarm occurs, two alarm values are output at the same time, one to the W2
interface, the other to the W3 interface, as shown in Figure 2-5, so as to cascade the
alarm signals.
If several cabinets are installed side by side, the alarms of these cabinets can be
cascaded. One end of externally connected alarm cable contains a DB50 connector,
while the other end has three branches. These three branches contain two alarm
output/alarm cascade connectors (DB9) and one external alarm input connector
(DB37) See Figure 2-5.
Figure 2-5 Alarm cable
In Figure 2-5, W2 and W3 are alarm output/cascade cables, W1 is the alarm input
cable. The alarm signals are cascaded among cabinets through W2 and W3. The last
cabinet transmits the signals to the centralised alarming system.

OptiX BWS 1600G
Caution
As an alarm output or cascade interface is a DB9 male connector, a 3-m cable with
DB9 female connectors on both ends is needed to cascade the alarm signals of two
cabinets.
The power box provides 16 input interfaces for external alarms. The alarm input
function is intended for remote monitoring of the alarms from an external system
(such as an environment monitoring system). You may name the 16 inputs of
alarms for easy remote monitoring.
External alarm input includes door access, smoke and other environmental factors.
In other words, the external alarm input accesses the environmental alarms in the
equipment room for centralised monitoring.
Before displaying an external alarm on the T2000 server, you may process the
alarm with software program to determine whether the alarm is valid.
W1 is an external alarm input connector, also a DB37 female connector. A 10-m
alarm input cable (DB37 connector on one end and the other end reserved) is
connected to the W1 cable to allow external alarm input.
Caution
The transmission system cannot monitor the external alarms independently. The
system must co-work with an external environment monitoring system of the
customer.

Interface area

OptiX BWS 1600G
3 Subrack Hardware Description
All external interfaces are located in this area, including the interfaces for subrack
power supply, NM and orderwire telephone, and so on.
The interface area also works as a heat dissipation outlet of the subrack. The
orderwire telephone can be installed under the beam in this area.
Board area
Totally 13 slots are available, numbered IU1, IU2, IU3 IU13 from left to right
when you face the front surface of the subrack. Slot IU7 is for SCC or SCE board
and is 24-mm wide. Other slots are 38-mm wide.
All optical interfaces are located on these standard G-type front panels. Most
optical interfaces are of LC/PC type, while the LINE, EXT and OUT optical
interfaces on the front panel of the Raman amplifier unit are of E2000/APC type.
Fibre cabling area
All the optical fibres from the optical interfaces are routed to this area. These
optical fibres then come out of this area and reach the matched side of the subrack.
There are fibre spools at the two sides of the subrack. These spools allow good
management over the optical fibres.
Mechanical variable optical attenuator (VOA) is installed here.
Fan tray assembly
This area contains a fan tray and an air filter. The air filter is fixed beneath the fan
tray . The fans and air filter ensure a dust-free environment with normal
temperature.
Front door
The front door is intended for equipment protection and Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC). The inner side of the front door is equipped with hooks to
hold the screws for adjusting the mechanical VOA.
Backplane
The backplane is located at the back of the subrack. The system depends on the
service bus of the backplane to connect all modules. This enables the system to
fulfill functions of data bus, clock bus, communication bus, overhead bus and some
control buses.
Fibre spools
The fibre spools serve to coil the slack of the optical fibre.

Figure 3-2 The subrack interface area
ETHERNET1 interface (RJ45 connector): serves as the TMN interface and

local NE management interface.
ETHERNET2 interface (RJ45 connector): serves as the internal
communication interface for functions among subracks, such as Automatic
Level Control (ALC) and Automatic Power Equilibrium (APE).
Note
The two ETHERNET interfaces in the subrack interface area serve for
communication between SCCs. But the communication contents of the two
interfaces are different.
(1) The ETHERNET1 interface serves for extended ECC function. That is, the
ETHERNET1 interfaces of all subracks in an OTM, OLA or OADM are connected
to the HUB through straight-through network cables to communicate with the
T2000 server.
(2) The ETHERNET2 interface serves for special network functions among
subracks. The boards with such functions as ALC and APE may not belong to the
same subrack. The boards communicate through internal protocols. Hence, the
ETHERNET2 interface of each subrack are connected through a straight-through
network cable (if only two subracks are involved) or connected to another HUB, to
communicate among subracks.
(3) ETHERNET 1 and ETHERNET 2 are non-interchangeable.
CLKIN 13 interfaces (SMB sockets)

OptiX BWS 1600G
CLKIN 13 interfaces offer three external clock input interfaces.

CLKOUT 16 interfaces (SMB sockets)
CLKOUT 16 interfaces offer six network clock output interfaces.
OCU CLKIN interfaces (SMB sockets)
OCU CLKIN interfaces offer two external clock source interfaces to the
OCU board. These two clock interfaces are connected internally and only one
external clock can be accessed.
F&f interface (DB9 connector)
An F&f interface has all the features of RS-232 interface. The F&f only
serves as an interface for software internal testing.
Serial 1 & serial 2 interfaces (DB9 connector)
Serial 1 & serial 2 interfaces enjoy the features of both RS-232 and RS-422
interfaces. Serial 1 uses F2 byte and serial 2 uses F3 byte. The maximum
throughput is 19200 bit/s.
ALM interface (DB9 connector)
An ALM interface serves for subrack alarms output The ALM communicates
with the PMU board located in the power box. The ALM is connected with
the subrack communication interface (SERIAL) on the power box panel.
F1 interface (DB9 connector)
An F1 interface serves as a 64 kbit/s codirectional data interface.
OAM interface (DB9 connector)
An OAM interface serves as a local NE management interface.
POWER1 and POWER2 (plug-in connectors)
POWER1 and POWER2 interfaces provide two subrack power supply input
interfaces, backup to each other.
PHONE1-3 (RJ-45 connectors)
PHONE1-3 interfaces are orderwire phone interfaces that use the OSC bytes
E1 and E2.

OptiX BWS 1600G
3.3 Fan Tray Assembly

Each subrack contains a fan tray assembly that consists of a fan tray and an air filter.
The air filter can be extracted directly for cleaning.
The fan tray and the air filter are installed at the lower part of the subrack, located
under the fibre laying area. The air filter is hung under the fan tray and the two parts
form as a whole. See Figure 3-3.

Figure 3-3 Fan tray assembly
The fan tray assembly is directly inserted to the backplane through connectors. The
backplane provides 48 V/60 V DC for the fan tray assembly.
There are six green indicators on the front panel of the fan tray assembly. These
indicators show the running statuses of the six fans.
Because of abundant optical devices and large power consumption, the cooling and
ventilation system of an OptiX BWS 1600G is critical.
For the air circulation of the entire subrack, see Figure 3-4.
The air inlet is located in the lower part of the subrack, while the air outlet is located
in the subrack interface area. Such a design forms a good cooling and ventilation
system and allows the normal running of the equipment.

Hardware Description 4 DCM Frame and HUB Frame
4 DCM Frame and HUB Frame
4.1 Dispersion Compensation Module (DCM)

4.1.1 Working Principle
A G.652 or a G.655 fiber has positive dispersion coefficient and positive dispersion
slope at 1550-nm window.
After the optical signal is transmitted over a certain distance, the accumulation of
positive dispersion widens the optical signal pulse. This seriously affects the system
transmission performance. To minimize such an effect, a passive DCM is used in
the network.
A DCM uses negative dispersion to compensate for the positive dispersion of a
transmitting fiber, so as to keep the original shape of the signal pulse.
4.1.2 Functions
The OptiX BWS 1600G system provides various DCMs for C-band and L-band.
Refer to the table below Table 4-1.
Table 4-1 DCM type

Band Applicable for DCMs

4 DCM Frame and HUB Frame Hardware Description
Note
The numbers in the above brackets refer to the typical dispersion compensation
distance (in km) of the DCM.
4.1.3 Application
The dispersion coefficient of a G.652 fiber is large, while that of a G.655 fiber is
small. A DCM can be installed on an optical amplifier unit at the transmit end or
receive end according to the actual situation.
Note
The OptiX BWS 1600G-V system is a pure 2.5 Gbit/s system. Because the
dispersion tolerance is large, DCM is not required.

4.3 HUB Frame

A HUB is required in a station with multiple subracks. The HUB ports connect with
the network ports in interface area of every subrack through network cables. This
realizes the communications between subracks, as well as the expanded ECC
function. A HUB is powered by a power box on the top of a cabinet where the HUB
and power box locate.
A HUB is located in a HUB frame that is in the lowest position of the cabinet. The
HUB frame is right under the DCM frame. See Figure 4-1.
A HUB frame comprises two parts: a box body and a HUB tray. The box body is
attached to the cabinet with mounting brackets and screws. The HUB tray is
removable, easy for daily use and maintenance. For the dimensions of a HUB
frame, refer to Table 4-4.

The optical module consists of an optical multiplexer for multiplexing and an
optical splitter for output of 40 wavelengths.
The electrical module refers to a control and communication circuit. This
circuit controls the temperature of the multiplexer, checks the total power of
output signals and communicates with the SCC.

In eastward transmission:
1. The C/L WDM component divides the optical signal into C-band supervisory
signal (1510 nm) and L-band supervisory signal (1625 nm).
2. The C-band WDM extracts the optical supervisory channel (1510 nm) from

OptiX BWS 1600G
Hardware Description 8 Optical Amplifier Unit
8 Optical Amplifier Unit
The OptiX BWS 1600G offers two types of optical fibre amplifiers.
One is EDFA (Erbium-doped optical fibre amplifier) which is widely used for
DWDM system. Optical signals can be directly amplified in erbium-doped fibre to
compensate signal attenuation.
The other is Raman optical fibre amplifier (simply called Raman amplifier) used in
long-haul transmission.
Together with EDFA, Raman amplifier can amplify optical signals with low noise,
and suppress degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio. This greatly extends the
transmission distance without any electrical regenerator. In the OptiX BWS 1600G,
Raman amplifier is always used with EDFA.

8.1 OAU
The OptiX BWS 1600G system has two kinds of OAUs in terms of hardware
version: E2OAU and E3OAU.
This section describes the functions and technical specifications of the OAU board.
There are one type of the E2OAU: OAU-LG
The OAU-LG is used for amplifying L-band optical signals.
There are three types of the E3OAU, which can be used in the C-band system:
OAUC01
OAUC03
OAUC05
These eight types of boards are the same in fulfilling functions. But the parameters
of these boards are designed differently according to different applications.
8.1.1 Functionality
The following table details the functions of the OAU.
Basic function Amplifies 80 channel optical signals of C-band or L-band with

channel spacing of 50 GHz at the same time.
Transmission The transmission distance can reach up to 80 km120 km without
distance regeneration.
Gain adjusting Gain can be adjusted continuously from the minimum to the
maximum.
The gain of the C-band wavelength channels oriented the
E3OAU can be adjusted within 2.5 dB of the gain boundary.
Online optical Provides an online monitoring port MON.
performance Thus, the optical performance of optical signals can be checked
monitoring online through the MCA board or optical spectrum analyzer.
Gain lock function Adds or drops one or more channels or optical signal fluctuation
does not affect the signal gain of other channels.
Transient control When channels are added or dropped, the board can suppress the
function fluctuation of the optical power in the path so as to realize the
smooth upgrading and expansion.

(1) C-band OAU

The EDFA optical module amplifies optical signals. The control and
communication module detects and controls the working status of the EDFA optical
module. The latter module also communicates with the SCC board.
The OAU can access the DCM.
The OAU adopts automatic gain control technology. This keeps the gain of each
wavelength within allowed range in various conditions.
In case of any abnormality in the line, the T2000 system and the SCC enable the
automatic power control function. Thus, the total output optical power remains
constant under a certain number of wavelengths.
The OAU allows online spectrum analysis by providing monitoring port MON.
Any external spectrum analyser or the built-in MCA can attach with MON.
(2) L-band OAU
The OptiX BWS 1600G system transmits 80 channels on C-band, and 80 channels
on L-band, that is, 160 channels in total. But the EDFA amplification bandwidth is
about 35 nm, covering a part of low loss window (1550 nm) of quartz single-mode
fibre. To use the L-band sources, the EDFA amplification bandwidth must be
expanded. Hence, the OAU adopts an erbium-doped fibre with high density and
low loss. Such a fiber can compensate the impacts of low efficiency and high loss
of L-band pump conversion.
The L-band OAU and C-band OAU are similar in working principle.

Usually, the Raman amplifier is used at the receive end of the DWDM system. This
amplification is based on optical fibre non-linear effect: SRS (stimulated Raman
scattering). In the OptiX BWS 1600G, the Raman amplifier is always used with the
EDFA.
According to the system capacity and volume, the OptiX BWS 1600G provides two
types of Raman amplifiers including the RPC and RPA.
RPC amplifies the C-band service channels.
RPA amplifies all the160 service channels. So the RPA covers both C-band
and L-band.
Here, the RPA is taken as an example to describe the principle of the Raman
amplifier. Figure 8-7 shows the functional block diagram of the RPA.

LINE Raman pump source module
MON
Figure 8-8 Functional block diagram of the RPA
Pump light is generated by the laser in the Raman pump source module. The control
and communication module:
Drives the pump laser.
Controls the temperature, on and off status of the laser
Protects the laser in abnormal conditions.
The RPC and the RPA work on the same principle, except that RPC is only used for
amplification of C-band optical signals.
Used with appropriate EDFA, the Raman amplifier reduces the flatness of system
gain to be less than 2 dB. So the noise figure is greatly reduced.
Note
When connecting/removing the fiber to/from the RPA, turn off the pump laser of
the RPA first.

9.4 DGE
This section describes the functions and technical specifications of the DGE board.
Equalization of optical power means to approximately equalise the energy of
optical signals of all channels. This improves the transmission performance.
In the ultra-long haul transmission system, numerous optical amplifiers are
concatenated. The gain spectrum of optical amplifier is not very flat. The spectrum
varies with the absolute gain of the optical amplifier. Hence, after optical signals
pass through several optical amplifiers, the flatness of spectrum is seriously
affected. This results in decrease of OSNR, increase of bit errors and limitation of
the transmission performance of the whole system.
To solve these problems, a DGE is used to adjust the spectrum flatness. When the
gain of the optical amplifier changes, the DGE dynamically adjusts and flattens the
spectrum waveform in the operating bandwidth.
9.4.1 Functionality
The following table details the functions of the DGE.
Basic function Adjusts the attenuation spectrum of each channel of optical

signals, and thus equalising the gain dynamically.

9.6 GFU
This section describes the functions and technical specifications of the GFU board.
Through the gain flattening filter (GFF), the GFU equalises optical power by
working with the E2OAU ,raman amplifier and ROP amplifier. This achieves gain
flatness of cascaded optical amplifiers. There are two types of GFU boards,
supporting applications at C-band and L-band respectively.
Figure 9-11 shows the application location of the GFU in the system by working
with E2OAU. The GFU usually connects to the TDC and RDC optical interfaces of
the E2OAU. If the system adopts the DCM, the GFU can be connected in front of
the DCM.

10 Optical Fibre Automatic Monitoring

Units
The OptiX BWS 1600G provides an optical fibre line automatic monitoring system
(OAMS) to alert the aging of fibre, alarm the line fibre fault and locate faults. The
OAMS, built in the OptiX BWS 1600G, is an optional function.
A built-in OAMS consists of the following three boards:
FMU: Fibre measure unit board
MWA: Measure wavelength access board
MWF: Measure wavelength filter board
Figure 10-1 shows the application of each board in the system.

DWDM nodes can be the OTM, OLA, OADM, OEQ or REG. The FMU board
sends out test optical pulse, as well as receives, collects, processes and reports
reflected signal. By this way, the FMU board monitors the running conditions of
the working optical fibre in real time. One FMU can monitor up to four optical
fibres.
The MWA board combines the service signal and test signal to one optical fibre for
transmission.
When the test signal and the service signal are transmitted in the same direction, the
MWF filters out the test signal at the receive end. This eliminates the effects of the
test signal on the system.

This section describes the functions and technical specifications of the FMU board.
The FMU is the core board of the embedded OAMS. The FMU monitors the tested
optical fibre and the testing optical fibre, and reports the test result.
The following table details the functions of the FMU.

optical fibre.
The FMU can be configured with two OTDR modules of
different wavelengths. The OTDR at 1310 nm is used for online
monitoring, while the OTDR at 1550 nm for monitoring standby
fibre.

The CPU module rearranges the commands of the SCC and sends these commands
to the OTDR module and optical switch module to control their operations. Besides,
The CPU compares the data collected by the OTDR with the reference data stored

10.2 MWA
This section describes the functions and technical specifications of the MWA board.
The MWA multiplexes the monitoring wavelength of the OAMS with service
wavelengths. This realises on-line monitoring upon the optical fibre.
The following table details the functions of the MWA.
Basic function Multiplexes the OTDR optical fibre monitoring signal and
service signal of the DWDM transmission system.
Accesses optical fibre monitoring wavelength at 1310 nm, so as
to realise on-line monitoring of optical fibres.
Information report Reports the ambient temperature and alarm information of the
board.

The MWA consists of optical modules and circuit modules.
Optical module: Consists of multiple WDM multiplexers that access multiple
channels of OTDR optical fibre monitoring signals in different cases. The
optical module realises on-line monitoring upon optical fibre.
Circuit module: Reports the board information to the SCC.
Because the optical modules of the MWA are passive optical components, there is
no direct relation between an optical module and a circuit module. The principle of
the optical module is introduced below.
Two types of the MWA can be configured in the OptiX BWS 1600G system.
MWA-I: Usually used at the OTM station. The MWA-I carries two WDM
multiplexing components and accesses two channels of OTDR monitoring optical
signals.
MWA-II: Usually used at the OLA, OEQ, OADM or REG station. The MWA-II
carries four WDM multiplexing components and accesses four channels of OTDR
monitoring optical signals.

Figure 10-4 Principle block diagram of the MWA
The MWA-I has six optical interfaces: LIN1/OUT1, TS1/RS1, and RFM1/RFM2
In the receiving direction of the OTM unit:
The service signal in the optical fibre enters the WDM module through LIN1
optical interface. At the same time, the OTDR monitoring signal from the FMU
enters the WDM module through RFM1 optical interface of the MWA.
The service signal and monitoring signal are multiplexed reversely in the WDM
module. After passing the WDM module, the service signal is output to the FIU
from TS1 optical interface along its original transmission direction. But the
monitoring signal is transmitted in the contrary direction, entering LIN1 optical
interface for monitoring.
In the transmitting direction of the OTM:
The service signal from the output optical interface of the FIU is output to the
WDM module through RS1 optical interface. At the same time, the OTDR
monitoring signal from the FMU board enters the WDM module through RFM2
optical interface.
After being multiplexed, the two signals are output, through OUT1 optical interface,
to the line fibre for monitoring.
The principle of the MWA-II is the same as that of the MWA-I. But the MWA-II
carries two more WDM components used at OLA, OEQ, OADM or REG station.
These two more WDMs multiplex four channels of monitoring signals into the
fibre at receive end and transmit end in two directions at the same time.

10.3 MWF
This section describes the functions and technical specifications of the MWF board.
The MWF is used to filter out the monitoring wavelength of the OAMS. This is to
eliminate the effects of the monitoring signal on the DWDM system when the
monitoring signal passes through the optical amplifier.
At the transmit end of the OTM or relay stations such as OLA, the direction of the
monitoring signal is contrary to that of the service signal. So the MWF is not
required for filtering.
At the receive end, the monitoring signal and service signal are transmitted in the
same direction. So, before the multiplexed signals enter the FIU, use the MWF to
filter out the monitoring signal.
The following table details the functions of the MWF.
Basic function Filters out the OTDR optical fibre monitoring signal of the OAMS.
Correctly report various information of the board.

OptiX BWS 1600G

The MWF consists of optical modules and circuit modules.
Optical module
The optical module consists of one or multiple filtering components. The module
filters out the OTDR optical fibre monitoring signal.
Circuit module
The module reports the board information to the SCC.
Because the optical modules of the MWF are passive optical components, there is
no direct relation between the optical module and the circuit module. The principle

Two types of MWF can be configured in the OptiX BWS 1600G system.
MWF-I: Works in the OTM station. The MWF-I carries one filtering component
and filters out one channel of the OTDR monitoring optical signal.
MWF-II: Works in the OLA, OEQ, OADM or REG station. The MWF-II carries
two filtering components and filters out two channels of OTDR monitoring optical
signals at the same time.

The MWF-I board has two optical interfaces: IN1/OUT1.

The MWF-I is usually used at the receive end of the OTM station. The service
signal transmitted over the line fibre and the OTDR monitoring signal are
multiplexed and input to the filtering component through IN1. After the monitoring
signal is filtered out, the service signal is output from OUT1 and input in the
corresponding input optical interface of the FIU.
The principle of the MWF-II is the same as that of the MWF-I, except that the
MWF-II carries one more filtering component, which is used at the OLA, OEQ,
OADM or REG station. This component filters out the monitoring signals in two
directions at the receive end of the relay station.

This section describes the functions and technical specifications of the OCP board.
The following table details the functions of the OCP.
Basic function The OCP provides 1:N (N8) OTU optical channel protection.
The protection prevents the transmission services over the
channel from being interrupted.
Protection scheme This protection operates in a way called "single-fed and single
receiving". This protection is dual-end switched and needs the
support of automatic protection switching (APS) protocol.
Switching time The whole switching process takes no more than 200 ms.

OptiX BWS 1600G
At the transmit end:

The signal from the client side enters the OCP. Through the coupler, 8-channel
protected signals at the client side are sent to the optical switch.
If there is any abnormality in the working OTU, the optical switch selects one
channel according to signal priority and send it to the protection OTU through the
"TP" and "RP" optical ports.
At the receive end:
Eight channels in the OCP are connected to the client-side equipment. Use the
optical switch to select the protected route corresponding to the transmit end.
Couple the signals coming from the protection channel and the protected signal
with the coupler (in application, two channels of signals cannot be valid at the same
time). Output the signals to the signal channel at the client side.
In the protection process, the function of the OCP is to:
Receive the commands of the SCC.
Drive optical switch according to the command.
Connect to the corresponding channel.
Enable the protection function.

This section describes the functions and technical specifications of the OLP board.
The following table details the functions of the OLP.
Basic function The OLP01 provides optical line protection. This ensures the
services over the fibre line can be received as usual even when
the line is faulty.
The OLP03 provide the inter-subrack 1+1 path protection for one
working/protection OTU pair.
Protection scheme The protection mode is dual-fed and signal selection and
single-end switching. When the performance of the working fibre
declines, the system automatically switches the service from the
working path to the protection path.
Protection switching is stable and quick because the APS
protocol is not needed.

Functionally, an E1OLP01 board falls into two parts: dual-fed module and signal
selection module.
The dual-fed module divides the optical signal into two channels with the equal
power. The module also sends over working and protection optical fibers at the
same time.
Signal selection module receives the optical signal from the working channel and
the protection channel at the same time. The module detects and compares the
optical power of two channels, and selects the optical signal of one channel to
output.
For the functions and working principle of the inter-subrack 1+1 protection
provided by the OLP03, refer to OptiX BWS 1600G Backbone DWDM Optical
Transmission System Technical Description.
11.2.3 Switching Type

The OLP has five switching types:
Locked switching:
This function is to lock the services on the active path, no matter the active or
standby path is good or not.
Forced switching:
This function is to force the services to work either on the active or standby path, no
matter the active or standby path is good or not.
Fibre broken switching:
If the active path is faulty while the standby channel is normal, the services are
switched from active path to the standby path. If both paths are faulty, the services
are not switched. If the services are transmitted on the standby path, the switching
status is the same.
The working mode can be set to revertive or non-revertive. In revertive mode, if the
active path is recovered and confirmed to be normal for a certain period, the
services are switched back to the active path. In non-revertive mode, even if the
active path is recovered, the services remain on the standby path until a fault occurs
to the standby path.

OptiX BWS 1600G
Manual switching
You can also shift the service to any path. That is, you can use either the active or
standby path as a service carrier. Manual switch is only effective when both active
and standby paths are normal.
Clear switching
This function clears the switching state of the above switches.
The table below lists the priorities of the switching types:
Switching type Priority
Clear switching Highest

Locked switching Second
Forced switching Third
Fibre broken switching and Lowest
manual switching
If a higher level protection switching exists, lower level switching cannot be

executed successfully. But if only the lower level switching exists, it can be
executed successfully.

This section describes the functions and technical specifications of the SCS board.
The following table details the functions of the SCS.
Basic function Coordinated with the active or standby OTU, the SCS fulfils
optical channel protection. The SCS also supports OTU board
level protection of the same route.
The channel protection supported by the SCS board does not
need the support of protocol. Instead, the channel protection
executes switching by detecting SD and SF events of the channel.

Figure 11-5 is a typical application of the SCS in the system.

A single SCS can select dual-fed signals for two channels of optical signals. The
processing of these two channels of optical signals are the same.
Below describes the process.
The system uses two SCS boards. The first SCS splits coming services into two
signals with equal power.
The first SCS sends the signals to the working and protection OTUs.
After transmission over the working path and the protection path to the receive
end, the working and protection OTUs convert the wavelengths.
The other SCS combines the wavelengths and transmits these wavelengths to
the client side.
With two SCS boards, the system selectively accepts the dual-fed signals. Also, the
system triggers the protection switching when LOS and B_EXC alarms are
reported.
In normal conditions, the working OTU at the receive end is in the working status
and the protection OTU the idle. When the service fails, the protection switching is
triggered by alarms. The system turns off the client-side transmitting laser of the
working OTU and turn on that of the protection OTU.

11.4 PBU
This section describes the functions and technical specifications of the PBU board.
The following table details the functions of the PBU.
Basic function The PBU provides centralised protection for OTUs power
supply.
The PBU can protect three types of power supplies (3.3 V, 5 V,
and 5.2 V) of two OTUs at the same time.
If three or more OTUs need protection, the backup function will
fail, and all OTUs will not be protected.
Protection scheme When any of the secondary power modules (3.3 V, 5 V, and 5.2
V) provided by the OTU fails, services can be switched to the
PBU within 600 s. This realises board level protection and
ensures normal operation of the OTU.
Cool power backup The PBU adopts cool power backup. When the power supply of
the OTU works normally, the backup power module on the PBU
is idle.
Slow-startup The OTU backup circuit on the PBU supports slow-startup. The
slow-startup time of the OTU backup circuit is longer than that
of an OTU working circuit. This ensures that the OTU is
supplied with power by the working power supply when started.

OptiX BWS 1600G
Caution
When the OTU and PBU both work normally, swapping the PBU does not affect
the work of the system and the OTU.

The PBU consists of three parts:

Power switching module
The power switching module consists of a slow-startup and filter circuit. This
circuit converts 48 V DC into three types of power supplies (3.3 V, 5 V and 5.2 V)
required by the OTU and sends the power to the backplane. Besides, the power
switching module supplies power for the control and peripheral circuits of this
board.
Voltage detection module
The voltage detection module checks the three types of power (3.3V, 5V, and 5.2V)
output from the power switching module, and reports alarms in the case of
overvoltage or undervoltage.
Control system
The control and information processing part consists of a CPU and a
communication module. The CPU monitors the status of the power module on this
board.
Handling of continuous overvoltage at the output side of the power module:

OptiX BWS 1600G
If the OTU uses the backup power, and continuous overvoltage occurs, check
whether the power module is abnormal with detection module and software. If so,
an alarm is given without shutdown of the power.
If the OTU does not use the backup power, but continuous overvoltage occurs to the
backup power, an alarm is given and the output of the power module is shut down.
The output of any faulty circuit is shut down (other two are not shut down).

Hardware Description Control and Communication Unit
12 Optical Supervisory Units and System

Control and Communication Unit
According to ITU-T Recommendations, the OptiX BWS 1600G adopts the optical
supervisory channel with the carrier wavelength being 1510nm and 1625nm. The
board that processes this channel is called optical supervisory channel processing
board or supervisory board. The supervisory board monitors the optical channels,
collects and transmits the orderwire and T2000 information.
The optical supervisory channel and the main channel adopt WDM mode in
transmission. The multiplexing and demultiplexing of the two are implemented by
an FIU board.
A system control and communication board (SCC) is the control centre of the
OptiX BWS 1600G. The SCC manages the whole system, and communicates
between the equipment and network management system. The SCC also processes
the orderwire overhead.
There is also a special SCC for the extended subrack, shorted as SCE. The only
difference is that the SCE does not have the overhead processing function.

supervisory channels.
Technology The optical supervisory channel (OSC) does not limit the pump wavelength of
characteristic optical amplifier.
The OSC does not limit the distance between two optical line amplifiers.
The OSC does not restrict the service in 1310nm.
When the line amplifier is faulty, the optical supervisory channel is still
available.
The SC1or the SC2 is independent of the SCC, that is, even if the SCC is not in
position, The SC1or the SC2 can pass through the ECC and ensure the
supervision on other stations.
Regeneration function The SC1 is transmitted in sections, with 3R function. In each optical line
amplifier, the information can be correctly received, and new supervisory
information can be attached as well.
Wavelength The signal wavelength of supervisory channel in the OptiX BWS 1600G
systems I, II, III, V and VI is 1510 nm; while the wavelength of supervisory
signal in system IV is 1625 nm.

As the SC1 and the SC2 are the same in principle, more about the SC1 is discussed
in this section. The SC2, are the same with the SC1 in hardware, function and
application. But the SC2 can process one more optical supervisory channel.
Figure 12-1 shows the principle block diagram of the SC1.

Overhead processing module
The overhead processing module exchanges information with the SCC. It extracts
overhead bytes from the electrical signals and sends the bytes to the SCC for
processing. After the overhead signals are processed by the SCC, the overhead
processing module sends the electrical signals into the optical transmitting module.
The overhead processing module also monitors performance and alarms, such as
CRC4 bit errors counting, remote and out-of-frame alarm reporting.
CPU
CPU collects the performance and alarm information about the SC1 and reports to
the SCC through the communication module. The CPU also implements other
functions such as A/D conversion, environment temperature monitoring, and
interface control (that is, laser shutdown, running and alarm indicators flashing).
Besides, The CPU provides clock signals with appropriate frequency and phases
for the nodes in the system.

Processes and regenerates the supervisory channel as the SC1 and the SC2.
Besides, the TC1 and the TC2 also provide the clock transmission function.

TC1 TC2
Clock transmission Adds or drops 3-channel E1 clock service, and provides the electrical interface
function for the external synchronous signal and the timing source for the synchronous
equipment. The clock interface has the 2.048 kbit/s or 2048 kHz interface
physical characteristics defined by the ITU-I G.703.
Overhead processing Processes the synchronous information status byte:
y Judges the synchronous timing quality level according to S1 byte content.
y Reports synchronous status information.
If the upper stream clock signal is missing, add clock invalid information to
notify clock receiving equipment downstream.
Protection schemes Provides 1+1 board protection at equipment level (two TC1/TC2 boards
plugged in slots 6 and 8, active/standby protection for each other) and
redundancy protection with double optical wavelengths.
Supervisory information and clock signals are transmitted in both 1510 nm and
1625 nm.

In the OptiX BWS 1600G, the TC2 provides an 8 Mbit/s channel. In this optical
supervisory channel, overhead bytes and three 2 Mbit/s clock signals are
transmitted, so that all optical repeaters can be managed by the T2000. Besides, the
TC2 can also transmit or provide the clock to other network equipment.
The TC1 or the TC2 processes the overhead and network clock signal in the
supervisory channel. The processing of overhead is the same with that in the SC1 or
SC2.
Since the principles of TC1 and TC2 are the same, this section describes only the
TC1 board.

SEMF
The main function of synchronous equipment management function (SEMF) is to
work with the T2000 of the OptiX BWS 1600G to manage the boards. The SEMF
functional block exchanges management information with other functional blocks
through the reference point. The SEMF also converts, processes and stores the
performance data and alarm events received from other functional blocks. At the
same time, The SEMF transmits the control and management information to other
functional blocks of the equipment.
MCF
Message communication function (MCF) transmits various maintenance and
management messages between the NMS and NE equipment, or among NEs. These
messages are sent over D1D12 bytes of optical supervisory channel.
The MCF also provides OAM interfaces so that the OptiX BWS 1600G can
communicate data between the synchronisation equipment and the T2000.
In an OptiX BWS 1600G NE, only one SCC board enables MCF function through
the communication with the supervisory channel board. And the SCE board on
other subracks in the NE exchanges information with the SCC through 10M
Ethernet interfaces. Because the SCE communicates with other NE equipment
indirectly. The SCE manages on boards in the same subrack, as mentioned before.
The SCE reports the performance and alarm data to and receives management
information from the SCC.
Software function
The BIOS software serves to:
Boot the system.
Load and upgrade NE software.
Perform hardware self-test of the SCC.
The NE software serves to perform real time monitoring, maintenance and
management on the NEs by working with the T2000 and the SCC hardware.
The NE software consists of a communication module (CM) and an administration
module (AM).
The CM:
Handles the message communication.
Transmits the operation, management, as well as maintenance information
between the T2000 and NE equipment, or between NEs.
While the AM:
Manages the synchronisation equipment.
Supports configuration, alarm, performance, security, and topology
management of NMS.

D
DCC Data Communication Channel.
Within an STM-N signal there are two DCC channels, comprising bytes D1-D3,
giving a 192 kbit/s channel, and bytes D4-D12, giving a 576 kbit/s channel. D1-D3
(DCCR) are accessible by all SDH NEs whereas D4-D12 (DCCM), not being part of
the regenerator section overhead, are not accessible at regenerators.
Distributed services The transmitting services are distributed between each neighboring nodes connected
over a ring network.
DWDM Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing. DWDM technology utilizes the
characteristics of broad bandwidth and low attenuation of single mode optical fiber,
employs multiple wavelengths with spacing of 100GHz or 50GHz as carriers, and
allows multiple channels to transmit simultaneously in the same fiber.
