OCLS contains the customer release notes and product documents for the specific release.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch 32S provides DWDM/OTN/TDM convergence on a single shelf.
Used with other shelves of the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) family of products, they provide
an optimized transport solution with low cost, high flexibility service aggregation with protection
PSS-32S can be used as an extension shelf in a photonic NE to provide switching capability in support of ClientLine applications. The addition of an PSS-32S to a photonic NE, as an extension shelf, brings a convergence of
OTN switching capability to the photonic NE
Conventional OTN switching provides a solution for large scale any-to-any connectivity in multi-domain OTN
transport networks. Client/Line implementation leverages underlying OTN technology within a single photonic
node with focus on efficient and adaptable photonic transport.
The multiple client interfaces can all be provisioned to transport 10GE client signal types.
400 NE:
GMPLS CP managed network could be composed of only L0 related NEs (Photonic compounds, PSS32/16/32s,
including ILAs)
GMPLS CP managed network could be composed of only L1 related NEs (Switching compounds, PSS64/36)
GMPLS CP managed network could be composed of both L0 & L1 related NEs (MRN) (Switching compounds,
Photonic compounds including ILAs)
Priorities & pre-emption management for OCh services:
Five priority levels can be defined, ranging from 1 (highest) to 5 (lowest)
The allowed wavelength set is specified for the three groups of NRZ, coherent and PDSPK for each OMS/OTS
line and downloaded (via CPB and NE) to the NE as part of the optical parameter set per OMS line
GMRE uploads the wavelength sets at OMS/OTS discovery
The 130SCUP is a 100G uplink card used in switching shelves. It uses a PDM-QPSK transmitter and
a coherent receiver with SDFEC for superior optical performance. This is a double slot wide, full
height card.
The 11QCUP is a quad 10G uplink card used in switching shelves. It uses pluggable line optics
and Wavetracker modules to provide pay as you grow network capacity scaling.
24ANMB: Universal interface card with flexible port configuration for multiple line rates and
operation modes
System Configuration
PSS-64 can be extension shelf
Up to 7 PSS-64 extension shelves are supported
Support of up to 11 Uplink cards in PSS-64
When configured in combination with PSS-32, up to 11 Uplink cards can be supported per PSS-64
shelf
When configured as stand-alone with manual Uplink card configuration up to 15 Uplink cards
Intuitive GUI and graphical network views reduce start-up time and training expenses
Possibility to use network defaults; updates as more information becomes available
Possibility for Manual Traffic Routing
One-button design or analysis
Taking into account: OSNR, Dispersion, PMD, PDL, Filter penalty, cross talk penalty, NL transmission penalty,
Transponder dynamic range, OSC, Maximum number of Channels and Minimum number of channels, Channel
assignment / collisions
Developed in Conjunction with Bell Labs Research, the design engine optimizes performance and cost,
selects amplifiers and sets optimal power levels, determines the dispersion map, evaluates reach
requirements and verifies design via the simulation engine, select traffic routes, selects channel assignments
The 1830 EPT tool should be used to design the equipment and commissioning data for the network. It is
important that traffic (real and virtual) be entered into the EPT design before the network design is complete
and before the commissioning file is created, as traffic type and amount affects choices such as inclusion of the
optional egress Line Driver, DCM Type, power targets for the Software Control of Transmission (SCOT), and so on.
In particular, factors such as the type of Optical Transponder (OT), whether alien optics interfaces would be used,
and whether OPS protection is needed for demands in the future should be considered at design time.
The EPT supports two methodologies to design 1830 networks: automatic and manual. The automatic design
feature is the most efficient way to design most networks, but in certain configurations a manual design is
required.
This is a simplified flow chart from the one presented in Chapter 4 of the User Guide.
Steps 1 and 2 specify requirements and validates the design. Step 3 (BoM) estimates the budget. Step 4 occurs
only if approved (most of the time, you dont do this 25-30 designs for every deployment).
Note: Network Parameters include Distance Units (Kilometers or miles), Equipment Protection, Default Fiber
Type, WTOCM usage, etc.
Site Definition includes power constraints for the site, OADM type, max DWDM lines, etc.
It is important to understand the precise meaning of these terms when using the EPT.
Site: Geographic location that terminates a fiber connection
Types of sites supported by EPT:
OADM [Optical Add/Drop Multiplexor]: Channels within a fiber may be accessed for service origination,
termination, or regeneration
ILA [In-line Amplifier]: Signal power is amplified to allow longer distances between OADM sites
GT [Glass Through]: A site that doesnt have any 1830 equipment; may contain a patch panel
There are 3 types of lines: DWDM, CWDM, and SCHAN (single channel/Black&White)
Within each line type the following are the maximum number of channels:
DWDM (44/88) CWDM (8)
SCHAN(1)
Node: a collection of one or more lines
All lines within a single node can form T-Links. However, if demand travels between lines of different
nodes, then a regenerator [OT] is necessary to connect these lines. An example of where two nodes are
always needed is when DWDM lines connect to CWDM lines. The maximum number of lines per node type:
ROADM [R3.6+]: 8
TOADM [R2.0+]: 8
DFOADM (DWDM Fixed Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer) [R2.0+]: 4
CFOADM (CWDM (Coarse WDM) Fixed Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer) [R2.0+]: 2
NE (Network Element): management entity comprising of one or more Nodes
Each NE has a System ID (SID) that is used by the NMS to manage the network.
Site: geographic location containing zero or more NEs
Site types supported:
OADM: Channels within a fiber may be accessed for service origination, termination, or regeneration
ILA: Signal power is amplified to allow longer distances between OADM sites
GT: A site that doesnt have any 1830 equipment and may contain a patch panel. Signals are glassed
through these sites.
From Product Planning Guide:
A node (or network element) is a set of one or more Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-36/PSS-32/PSS-16 shelves that
are viewed as a single entity by the Network Management System. A node can be:
Up to two single optical shelves
A single electrical shelf
A single electrical shelf and one or more optical shelves
NE: Processor-controlled entity of a telecommunications network that primarily provides switching and
transport network functions and contains network operations functions. For 1830 PSS, and NE is a
configuration of 1830 PSS equipment at a single site, addressed as a single entity, and under the control of a
single controller (NE). The types of NEs are ILA (in-line amplifier) and ADM (add/drop multiplexer).
LDs are sometimes called OAs (optical amplifiers). They amplify the signal and add or terminate the OSC. We
use 2 technologies to amplify our signal EDFA, or a combination of EDFA and Raman.
TOADM/ROADM may be a bit confusing because the definition has recently changed. The differentiation of
TOADM/ROADM was based on the SFD equipage to the CWR. The new TOADM/ROADM differentiation is based on
the WSS type. TOADM uses CWR, as shown here; ROADM uses WR8-88 as shown on the next slide and FOADM uses
neither a CWR nor WR.
This diagram is from the node schematics view in EPT. The instructor can use the diagram to point out the
various components in a node this will be shown in lesson 4.
ROADM node is primarily used for adding/dropping/redirecting traffic, or for regeneration. DGE is only used for
channel power equalization. No traffic can be added or dropped at a DGE node.
These
are some additional terms the student should know before working with the EPT.
(slow Variable Optical Attenuator): remotely changes the value of an optical attenuation (wave tracker
key not available with SVOA)
FVOA
(fast VOA): encodes a wave tracker signature on a channel, as well as remotely change the value of an
optical attenuation
Note:
Example of an express port of a TOADM/ROADM: SFD5 has 5 wavelength-specific ports (for dropping a specific
wavelength), and one "thru port, which allow the rest of the channels to pass through. The thru-port enables
cascading multiple SFD5s (of different sets of wavelengths] at a node.
Fiber types are like carsdifferent properties, different price points. These are some of the various fiber types
that you may encounter at a given customers location.
If a question comes up, there are many types of G.655 fibers made by different manufacturers, with different
characteristics (like a sedan)
ULH vs. LH vs. Regional in terms of span loss or km:
There's no strict definition. In general, regional applications extend to a maximum of a few hundred km
range. LH extends from several hundred to over 1000km. ULH is usually the express network with the objective
to reach several thousand km without regeneration. Keep in mind that these definitions also vary by region. A
national LH network in Europe may be smaller than a regional network of a large carrier in the U.S.
Instructor note: for module 1, the discussion should be kept at a high level, indicating that these are the options
available in EPT, and lightly touch on the differences of these fiber types. All the attendees should already know
these fiber types.
We introduced a number of definitions in this chapter this slide places a taxonomy around them.
A User Guide is available (well introduce it more in Module 3, GUI Overview), where students can
find more information on all of these terms.
