For a new network, the OptiX OSN 9800 are usually used as electrical subrack and optical
subrack. For a capacity expansion network, the 9800 supports multiple expansion modes. As
shown in Figure 1-3, the following are the three main expansion modes:
l Node expansion: At a node, add OptiX OSN 9800 as electrical subrack and optical subrack,
and interconnect the node with the OptiX OSN 8800 node on the network.
l Capacity expansion: At a node, add an electrical OptiX OSN 9800 subrack to work with
existing electrical and optical OptiX OSN 8800 subracks to expand the electrical-layer
capacity of the node.
l Grooming capability enhancement for optical line amplifier (OLA) sites: At an OLA site,
an electrical OptiX OSN 9800 subrack is added to work with an existing optical OptiX
OSN 8800 or 6800 subrack to enhance the electrical grooming capability of the OLA site.

l A tributary board receives client services at any bit rate. After OTN mapping and ODUk
cross-connection are complete, the client signals are flexibly cross-connected on the
electrical layer and share bandwidth. A line board then outputs the signals over different
wavelengths.
l Along the optical cross-connections on the ROADM board, the signals over different
wavelengths can be transmitted in any optical direction.
l If the signals in an optical direction do not need to be locally terminated, they can be directly
transmitted to another optical direction through the optical cross-connections on the
ROADM board.
Client 1+1 Protects services against faults on optical transponder units (OTUs) and
protection OCh fiber disconnections using the dual feeding and selective receiving
function of the OLP/DCP board.
Intra-board 1 Protects OCh fibers using diverse routing and the dual feeding and selective
+1 protection receiving function of OLP/DCP boards.
LPT Detects and reports faults at the service access points and on intermediate
networks. It also helps data communication equipment, such as routers,
switch to the backup network in a timely manner. By doing so, normal
transmission of important services can be remained even when the link is
faulty.
Optical Line It uses the dual fed and selective receiving function of the OLP board to
Protection protect line fibers between adjacent stations by using diverse routing.
ODUk SNCP Protects services against line board faults and OCh fiber disconnections
using the dual feeding and selective receiving function of electrical-layer
cross-connections. The OptiX OSN 9800 supports ODUk SNCP protection.
Tributary Protects SDH/SONET or OTN services that a tributary board receives using
SNCP the dual feeding and selective receiving function of electrical-layer cross-
connections. The OptiX OSN 9800 supports ODUk SNCP protection.
The OptiX OSN 9800 provides various types of network level protection (Packet), as listed in
Table 1-2.
Protection Description
LAG The LAG aggregates multiple physical links to form a logical link that is at
a higher rate. Link aggregation functions between adjacent equipment.
Hence, link aggregation is not related to the architecture of the entire
network. Link aggregation is also called port aggregation because each link
corresponds to a port on an Ethernet.
Tunnel APS As a network protection scheme, tunnel APS uses a protection tunnel to
protect the working tunnel and prevent service interruptions in case of the
working tunnel failures. Tunnel APS is available in one type: Tunnel APS
1:1.
Power redundancy Two PIU boards in hot backup mode supply power at the same time
to one subrack. If one PIU board fails, the other board will continue
to supply power to ensure that the subrack remains fully functional.
Fan redundancy If a fan in a fan tray assembly fails, the system can remain operational
for 96 consecutive hours in environments where temperatures range
between 0C to 40C (32F to 104F).
XCS Board The cross-connect board uses the M:N backup policy. The working
Redundancy and protection cross-connect boards in a subrack connect to all other
boards through the backplane bus to protect cross-connection
services.
Communication Two system control boards (CTUs) can be configured for 1+1
Control and Clock backup. The active and standby CTU boards in a subrack connect to
Processing Unit all other boards through the backplane bus to provide the following
Redundancy functions:
l NE database management
l Inter-board communication
l Inter-subrack communication
l Overhead management
Table 1-4 lists the equipment-level redundancy protection provided by the OptiX OSN 9800
universal platform subrack.
Power redundancy Two PIU boards in hot backup mode supply power at the same
time to one subrack. If one PIU board fails, the other board will
continue to supply power to ensure that the subrack remains
fully functional.
Fan redundancy If a fan in a fan tray assembly fails, the system can remain
operational for 96 consecutive hours in environments where
temperatures range between 0C to 40C (32F to 104F).
System control board Two system control boards (SCCs) can be configured for 1+1
redundancy backup. The active and standby SCC boards in a subrack
connect to all other boards through the backplane bus to provide
the following functions:
l NE database management
l Inter-board communication
l Inter-subrack communication
l Overhead management
The OptiX OSN 9800 provides multiple automatic optical power management functions, as
listed in Table 1-5.
Functi Description
on
ALS After the automatic laser shutdown (ALS) function is enabled on a tributary or line
board, the board shuts down the laser in the transmit direction when it receives no
optical signals from the upstream board. The board re-enables the laser when it
receives optical signals. This function prevents injuries associated with lasers and
prolongs the life of a laser by decreasing the working time of the laser.
AGC The automatic gain control (AGC) function ensures that channel gain is not
affected when wavelengths are added or dropped or when there is optical power
fluctuation in the WDM system. This function guarantees normal service running
in the WDM system.
Functi Description
on
ALC Optical fiber aging, optical connector aging, multiple wavelengths added or
dropped simultaneously or other power changes are factors that may lead to
abnormal loss on the line. When this happens, line loss is changed, the optical
signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of the system is degraded. To minimize such
influence, the automatic level control (ALC) function automatically adjusts the
output power of the amplifiers in the link according to the line loss change. When
the line loss changes, the output power of it will remain unchanged.
APE The automatic power equilibrium (APE) function automatically detects and adjusts
the optical power along channels on WDM-side ports to ensure the required
channel optical power flatness. If the channel optical power varies and flatness is
not maintained to a specified requirement, the OSNR of the optical transmission
line will deteriorate, which will degrade and possibly interrupt the communication.
IPA Optical amplifiers (OAs) output high optical power. If a fiber connecting to an OA
is cut, the OA keeps emitting light with high optical power if the laser on the
amplifier is not shut down. The intense light at the open fiber may cause injuries
to maintenance personnel during fiber maintenance. To prevent personal injuries,
the intelligent power adjustment (IPA) function shuts down lasers on the affected
OAs when a fiber cut occurs.
IPA of The LINE optical port on the CRPC board outputs high-power pump light. To
Raman prevent injuries associated with lasers, especially eye damage caused by laser
system radiation, the IPA function shuts down lasers on Raman amplifiers when a line
fault occurs.
1.3.8 Synchronization
When the OptiX OSN 9800 interconnects with MSTP or PTN equipment, the OptiX OSN 8800
T16 can be used as an optical NE of the OptiX OSN 9800 to achieve end-to-end transmission
of the IEEE 1588v2, synchronous Ethernet, or 2 MHz/2 Mbit/s external clock.
Physical Clock
Currently the OptiX OSN 8800 T16 supports extracting the physical clock from the 2M timing
signal received through the external clock port.
l The OptiX OSN 8800 T16 supports two 120-ohm or 75-ohm external clock inputs and
outputs.
l The OptiX OSN 8800 T16 supports three clock modes: trace, holdover.
l The OptiX OSN 8800 T16 supports the line and 2 Mbit/s clocks. It can process and transmit
synchronization status messages (SSMs).
IEEE 1588v2
The IEEE 1588v2 clock complies with the IEEE 1588v2 protocol. It is also called IEEE 1588v2
clock and used for time synchronization.
NOTE
To achieve IEEE 1588v2 clock synchronization, all NEs on the clock link must support the IEEE 1588v2
protocol.
In a legacy transmission network, the WDM transmission equipment functions as fibers to carry
services and must meet high requirements regarding operability. Generally the legacy
transmission network is facing the following challenges:
l Service configurations are complex, and it is time-consuming to expand system capacity
and provision services.
l Bandwidth utilization is low and inefficient. For example, on a ring network, half of the
bandwidth is always vacant.
l Limited protection schemes are applicable, among which the self-healing protection has
poor performance.
Huawei developed ASON to help carriers to meet these challenges. ASON enhances the network
connection management and recovery capabilities by introducing signaling to the legacy
transmission network and providing a control plane. It supports end-to-end service
configurations and different service level agreement (SLA) levels.
Service Configuration
Legacy WDM networks are generally chains and rings. The trails and timeslots of their services
are manually configured ring by ring and node by node, which is time- and labor-consuming.
As networks are growing and becoming more complex, this service configuration mode hardly
addresses the rapidly increasing user demands.
Bandwidth Utilization
Legacy WDM transmission networks have a high proportion of resources reserved and lack
advanced service protection, restoration and routing functions. In contrast, with the routing
function, ASON-empowered WDM transmission networks provide protection by reserving
fewer resources, increasing network resource utilization.
Reliability Mechanisms
Legacy WDM transmission networks use chains and rings as network topologies and optical
line protection and board-level protection as the service protection schemes. In contrast, ASON-
empowered WDM transmission networks generally use the mesh topology. In addition to
sufficient protection, ASON provides the dynamic restoration function to restore services.
Specifically, if there are multiple failures on a network, the services can be restored whenever
possible.
According to the variation in service restoration time, different levels of services are defined in
ASON to meet diverse requirements of customers.
SLA
An ASON network provides different levels of services to meet varied customer demands. The
WDM electrical-layer ASON supports diamond, silver, and copper SLA services at the ODUk
level (k = 0, 1, 2, 2e, 3, and 4).
ASON feature
Automatically switched optical network (ASON) is a new generation of the optical transmission
network. The ASON software developed by Huawei can be applied to the OptiX OSN 9800 to
enable the evolution from a legacy transmission network to an ASON network. Such evolution
complies with the ITU and IETF ASON/GMPLS-related standards.
ASON enhances the network connection management and recovery capabilities by introducing
signaling to the transmission network and providing a control plane. It enables the system to
provide ODUk level ASON services at the electrical layer, and also achieves end-to-end service
configuration and service level agreement (SLA). As shown in the Figure 1-5, in a mesh
network, a service from the source node A to the sink node G can be transmitted along three
paths: D1 (A-B-F-G), D2 (A-D-G), and D3 (A-E-H-G). If a fault occurs between nodes A and
B, or if the D1 path is unavailable, the service can be sent to the sink node along path D2 or D3
using ASON techniques.

Client-side optical module
dispersion equalization boards. These boards process optical-layer services, for example,
to cross-connect wavelengths at the optical layer.
l OTN tributary and OTN line boards process electrical-layer signals and perform O-E-O
conversions. The OptiX OSN 9800 uses a tributary-line-separate architecture and a
centralized cross-connect unit to flexibly groom electrical-layer signals at different
granularities.
l Universal line board is used to process electrical-layer signals and perform conversion
between optical and electrical signals. In addition, the board can work with a centralized
cross-connect board to achieve universal transmission and fine-grained grooming of OTN
and packet services.
l Packet service board has L2 processing capabilities. They can add, strip, and exchange
MPLS tags, learn MAC addresses, and forward packets.
l As the control center of the entire system, the CTU board cooperates with the network
management system (NMS) to manage boards in the OptiX OSN 9800 and implement inter-
subrack communication.
l The power supply and fan systems have a redundancy protection design and ensure highly-
reliable equipment operation.
l The auxiliary interface board provides functional ports such as clock/time input/output
ports (reserved), alarm output and cascading ports, and alarm input/output ports.
l Inter-board communication and service cross-connections, clock synchronization, and
power supplies are implemented using backplane buses. Backplane buses include control
and communication buses, clock buses, and power supply buses.

3 Network Management
This topic describes the network management system (NMS), as well as inter- and intra-NE
communication management.
Figure 3-1 shows an example of a network management structure with Huawei equipment
deployed.

Site B Web LCT

NEs between sites A and F are interconnected with fibers and exchange information
over ESC/OSC channels using the HWECC or IP over DCC protocol.
Some NEs at certain site (such as, NEs at site B) are interconnected with network cables
(usually when optical and electrical NEs are separate), and exchange information over
Ethernet channels (provided by NM ports on the CTU boards) using the HWECC or IP
over DCC protocol.
NEs at sites A and C are designated as gateway NEs (GNEs) and are connected to an
external data communication network (DCN) through a switch or router to achieve
communication with the NMS. All the other NEs are designated as non-GNEs and
communicate with the NMS through a GNE.
l Intra-NE communication: On each NE at sites A to F, the master and slave subracks
implement intra-NE communication. The NE at site A has three subracks (one master
connected to two slaves).
The NMS manages equipment performance, communication, security, and topology, as well as
all configurations and alarms for the entire optical transmission system. It also provides end-to-
end management based on user-defined requirements. The NMS improves network quality,
lowers maintenance costs, and ensures reasonable utilization of network resources.
The NMS uses two different pieces of network management software: iManager U2000 (U2000)
and iManager U2000 Web LCT (Web LCT). In most cases, users can install the U2000 at a
network management center (NMC) for remote equipment management. The Web LCT provides
the ability to configure and maintain individual NEs. In most cases, users can install the Web
LCT on a PC for onsite equipment management.
l An external DCN is a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN) and uses
the TCP/IP protocol for communication. It provides communication between NMSs and
between the NMS server and GNEs.
l An internal DCN provides communication between NEs using the HCP/IP protocol. The
protocol packets are transmitted over optical supervisory channels (OSCs), electric
supervisory channels (ESCs), or Ethernet channels channels.
on the U2000. The OptiX OSN 9800 can be configured as the master or a slave subrack on this
NE.
Table 4-1 describes the operation and maintenance functions supported by the OptiX OSN
9800.
End-to-end The OptiX OSN 9800 supports end-to-end OTN service configurations
service management, which simplifies the configuration process, shortens
configuration network deployment time, and implements automatic management of a
network.
Alarms and The OptiX OSN 9800 provides various alarms and performance events,
performance which enables the user to implement administration and maintenance.
monitoring
PRBS test A board that supports the pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) test
function is equivalent to a simple tester that transmits data to itself. The
user can perform a PRBS test during deployment or fault location to
determine if a service channel is faulty without using a tester.
Item Description
Test frame A test frame is a data packet that is used to test connectivity of a network
that bears Ethernet services. If a test instrument is unavailable on site, test
frames help users to check network connectivity.
Tunable The OptiX OSN 9800 provides wavelength-tunable line boards that carry
wavelengths 10 Gbit/s, 40 Gbit/s, or 100 Gbit/s signals.
Jitter The OptiX OSN 9800 maximizes jitter suppression by placing a jitter
suppression suppression unit between the optical receive module and the optical
function transmit module on its optical transponder units (OTUs).
Hot patch Hot patches fix a known defect or apply a new requirement without
shutting down and restarting the OptiX OSN 9800. After a hot patch is
loaded, the old codes are replaced with new codes.
Software The OptiX OSN 9800 supports software package loading, simplifying
package loading software upgrade operations. The user can load, activate, and manage NE-
level software in a centralized manner.
Orderwire The orderwire provides voice communication for the operation engineers
Function or maintenance engineers at different stations.
One-click data The user can use the one-click data collection function to collect fault and
collection performance data of faulty equipment at one time.
Power Supply The OptiX OSN 9800 uses an intelligent power supply pool and supports
Management visualized power consumption management, enabling on-demand power
capacity expansion.
OSNR detection The system supports online OSNR monitoring for a wavelength
carrying10 Gbit/s, 40 Gbit/s, or 100 Gbit/s signals. This feature helps
achieve quick deployment commissioning, device maintenance, and fault
diagnosis.

l Idle cross-connect bus: Before a service board is added, the cross-connect bus designated
for the service board is shut down. In other words, the cross-connect bus designated for a
service board is available only after the service board is added.
l Idle boards: Before logical boards are added, service boards automatically enter the power
saving state, and no power is applied to the boards.
l Idle ports:
This measure applies to idle pluggable optical modules. When a port holding such a
module is unused, the laser on this port is turned off automatically.
Power saving for ports depends on whether the ports are provisioned with services.
Heat dissipation is also an effective way for the OptiX OSN 9800 to save power. The OptiX
OSN 9800 provides an adjustable fan speed mode and an auto fan speed mode. In auto mode,
the NE implements separate and stepless fan speed adjustment automatically based on the board
temperature. For example, the speed of the fans in the low-temperature partition is automatically
adjusted to a low level for power saving. In adjustable mode, the fan speed can be manually set
to three levels: low speed, medium speed, and high speed.
