5 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 OP-1551 Hardware Overview OP-1551 is an STS-3/OC-3/STM-1 synchronous digital multiplexer intended mainly for use in point-to-point applications, providing access to SONET (Synchronous Optical Network)/SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) transmission cores at the STS-3/OC-3/STM-1 level ( Mbps). OP-1551 provides a flexible, efficient, and cost-effective method for transporting PDH (Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy) signals at E1 rates (2.048 Mbps) or DS1 rates (1.544 Mbps) via a SONET or SDH uplink. OP-1551 s uplink aggregate can be equipped with electrical intra-office interfaces or with short-haul or long-haul optical interfaces. The long-haul optical interface supports a range of up to 80 km (50 miles), thereby enabling remote access to regional and national SONET/SDH transmission networks. Optional backup cards can be installed to provide no-single-point-of-failure redundancy for the STS-3/OC 3/STM-1 uplink, power supply, and control and access primary cards. When a backup card is replaced, there is no interruption in system operation (hot swap). When a primary card is replaced, the switching time from the primary card to the backup card is less then 50 ms. OP-1551 is a standalone unit which multiplexes up to 63 E1 or 84 T1 channels over an STM-1 (SDH) or STS-3 (SONET) link. Two STM-1/STS-3 link modular cards are used for redundancy on the network side. Two hot swappable cards of main access and control are present, with 63 E1 channels (or 84 T1 channels) each, supporting hardware redundancy on the user side (where one is the active card and the second is the standby card). Both link cards must be configured to the same medium type (either SONET or SDH). Both main access and control cards must have the same type of configuration (as both E1 or both T1). Additional types of main access cards exist: One card with 21/28 (E1/T1) channels One card with 42/56 (E1/T1) channels RADview-EMS/TDM OP-1551 Ver. 1.4 OP-1551 Hardware Overview 1-1

6 Chapter 1 Introduction User s Manual 1.2 OP-1551 Software Overview RADview-EMS/TDM manages OP-1551 network elements. Its purpose is to mainly monitor and control the OP-1551 system.

31 User s Manual Chapter 3 Configuration Management Table 3-9. CH Parameters (Cont.) Parameter Line Code Possible Values / Remarks Indicates the variety of Zero Code Suppression used on this interface, which in turn affects a number of its characteristics. For E1 device: HDB3: High Density Bipolar 3. The HDB3 code is a bipolar signaling technique (i.e., relies on the transmission of both positive and negative pulses). It is based on Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI), but extends this by inserting violation codes whenever there is a run of 4 or more 0's. AMI: A mode wherein no zero code suppression is present and the line encoding does not solve the problem directly. In this application, the higher layer must provide data which meets or exceeds the pulse density requirements, such as inverting HDLC data. For T1 device: B8ZS: Bit Zero suppression. A specified pattern of normal bits and bipolar violations which are used to replace a sequence of eight zero bits. ANSI Clear Channels may use ZBTSI, or Zero Byte Time Slot Interchange.

45 Chapter 4 Configuring a Point-to-Point Application This chapter gives detailed instructions for configuring RADview-EMS/TDM OP-1551 units for a typical point-to-point connection. Figure 4-1 illustrates a point-to-point connection extended by a pair of OP-1551 units. Figure 4-1. Point-to-Point Application In most of the configuration procedure, the default parameter values are used for both the Near End (NE) and Far End (FE) OP-1551 units. The exceptions are the clock source and the IP address, both of which differ for the two units. In this application, the NE unit can be configured for an internal or external (requires optional station clock card) clock source and the FE unit for the LBT clock source. The NE unit is connected to a LAN, thereby enabling remote management. To configure a point-to-point operation, the system and the operation parameters have to be configured. Note Note The following procedure is first applied to the NE OP-1551 unit. Then repeat the same steps for the FE unit and assign it with a remote IP address and an LBT clock source. To configure a point-to-point application: 1. The first step is to configure the OP-1551 system parameters.
