Introduction to Hierarchy The ZXONM E300 system has four layers: equipment layer, NE layer, NE management layer and subnet management layer. It can also provide Corba interface for the network management layer.
The hierarchy of the ZXONM E300 system is shown in Figure 5, where the Network management layer does not belong to the ZXONM E300.
F I G U R E 5 H I E R AR C H Y O F EMS S O F T W AR E
Equipment layer (MCU)
It is responsible for monitoring board alarms and performances, receiving commands from the network management system and controlling boards to perform specific operations.
NE layer (NE)
The NE is an agent in the EMS. It implements the management function for an individual NE. When the NE is powered on for initialization, it performs the configuration of boards. In normal operation, it monitors the alarms and performance statuses of the whole NE, and receives monitoring commands from the NE management layer (Manager) through the Gateway Network Element (GNE) and executes the commands.
ZXMP S385 (V2.00&V2.10) Technical Manual
22 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION
NE management layer (Manager)
This layer includes the Manager, the Graphical User Interface (GUI), and the Local Craft Terminal (LCT). It controls and coordinates a series of NEs.
Manager (or Server): core of the NE management layer. The Manager can simultaneously manage multiple subnets as well as control and coordinate NEs.
GUI: provides the graphical user interfaces. It converts the user management requests into commands in the internal format, and delivers these commands to the Manager.
LCT: a simple combination of the functions of the GUI and the Manager by controlling user authorities and using software functional parts. It provides a weakened NE management function, mainly used in the commissioning and maintenance of local NEs.
Subnet management layer
The hierarchy of subnet management layer is similar to that of the NE management layer. The NE configuration and maintenance commands are indirectly implemented through the EMS in the NE management layer.
The subnet management system sends a control command to the EMS, which forwards the command to the NE. After the command execution, the NE feeds the result back to the subnet management system through the EMS. In addition, the subnet management system (SNMS) can provide the network management layer with the Corba interface which transfers the subnet monitoring command and running information.

Multi-Service Function As the SDH based multi-service node equipment, the ZXMP S385 provide the following multi-service functions.
Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation The diversity of service carried by the convergence layer in MAN optical network determines that the network has to allocate bandwidth flexibly according to user requirement. The SEC board of ZXMP S385 provides system port with the minimum granularity of 2 Mbit/s and maximum bandwidth of 100 Mbit/s. The TGE2B board provides the system port with the minimum granularity of VC-4, and the maximum bandwidth of VC-4-8v.
When the system port employs the virtual concatenation mode to designate port capacity, the LCAS technique can be used to dynamically adjust the quantity of virtual group VC-n without interrupting service, thus enhancing the haleness of virtual concatenation and improving the bandwidth utilization ratio.
Ethernet Service Transparent Transmission Taking the TGE2B board as example, the ZXMP S385 equipment provides two point-to-point transparent transmission channels via the TGE2B board. Each user port is bound with one unique system port to implement the transparent transmission of gigabit Ethernet service.
VLAN VLAN (virtual local area network) allows isolation of different user services in one transmission network, thus satisfying user's requirement for data security. Composing large amount of VLANs via the data interfaces provided by the optical transmission equipment at the convergence layer and access layer can provide user with data service on the basis of existing transmission network.
The ZXMP S385 equipment can provide at most eight 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet interfaces via the SEC board. With the cooperation of EMS software processing technique, the ZXMP S385 can implement flexible and effective VLAN.
The SEC board supports traditional VLAN and the VLAN recommended by IEEE Std.802.1d. It has the function of bandwidth statistics and multiplexing, and the TRUNK function of VLAN. It supports the spanning tree protocol, MAC address learning, flow control, and QoS. All these functions can guarantee the bandwidth utilization ratio and high quality of service.
The MSE board employs the flow method to process the Ethernet datagram. It supports multiple switching methods such as MPLS, VLAN,
ZXMP S385 (V2.00&V2.10) Technical Manual
38 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION
and MAC. It provides the function of L2 virtual bridge, and the guarantee for the quality of point-to-point service.
Bandwidth Convergence of ATM Service The burst of traffic is one of the main features of data service. Generally, each data port will not reach the full capacity, since the bandwidth convergence function of the convergence layer can effectively use the transmission bandwidth. This function and the bandwidth dynamic allocation function supplement each other.
The bandwidth convergence of ATM service is performed by the AP1x8 board. The AP1x8 board can integrate eight channels of 155 Mbit/s ATM services. Through the ATM switch matrix, it convergences these services into one to four channels of 155 Mbit/s, or one channel of 622 Mbit/s SDH optical signal; and transmits the signal in the MAN optical network. The ATM switch matrix supports VP/VC switch at the ATM layer, and has the functions of VP ring and flow control.
RPR Function The RPR (resilient packet ring) employs the SRP (space reuse protocol). SRP enables no repetitive traffic flow in the space, so that each service can use its own line bandwidth without affecting other services. Briefly speaking, normally, the data is transferred in the shortest arc between the source node and the destination node, and multiple nodes can communicate with each other simultaneously. Thus, many nodes can send/receive and group simultaneously, which can improve the bandwidth utilization ratio in the ring. The improvement of bandwidth utilization ratio is great when there are lots of nodes in the ring.
The RSEB board of ZXMP S385 supports the RPR ring with L2 switch function. The system side of RSEB board provides two RPR SPAN ports and four EOS ports. The RPR SPAN ports can form a bidirectional RPR ring at 155 Mbit/s to 1.25 Gbit/s, which supports the send/receive of RPR frame specified in IEEE802.17. The EOS port supports the send/receive of Ethernet frame specified in IEEE802.3.
System Control and Communication Functions 1. The system control and communication functions are implemented by
the NE Control Processor board (NCP). The functions include sending configuration commands to boards, and collecting board performance and alarm information.
2. The system implements information exchange between EMSs via the ECC channel.
3. The system implements orderwire calls between NEs via the E1/E2 bytes. The orderwire part uses an independent CPU.
Chapter 2 - System Functions
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 39
4. Qx interface is the communication interface between the NE and the Subnet Management Control Center (SMCC). Through the Qx interface, NCP can report to SMCC the alarm and performance information of the current NE and its sub-network, and receive the commands and configurations sent from SMCC to the current NE and its sub-network.
5. The NCP board conducts intelligent monitoring of the fan plug-in box in the current NE, and the overvoltage/undervoltage monitoring of the input voltage of the power distribution unit.
System Power Supply Function The ZXMP S385 employs the dual power supply system to access the -48V power in the equipment room, and processes the -48 VDC power using the synchronous clock interface board (SCI) and the Qx interface board (QxI).
It employs the distributed power supply mode. The service board, functional board, and STM-1 electrical interface switching board are directly powered by the –48 V power in the subrack; the E1/T1 switching boards (ESE1x63, EST1x63), E1/T1 interface bridge board (BIE1), E3/T3 switching board (ESE3x6), and STM-1e/E3/T3/FE interface bridge board (BIE3) are powered in a 1+1 centralized power supply mode by the SCI/QxI board.
Overhead Processing Function The overhead processing function of the ZXMP S385 is performed by the NE Control Processor (NCP), orderwire board (OW), cross-connect and clock board (CSA/CSE), and optical line board.
The ZXMP S385 optical line board performs the following functions:
Separates section overheads from payload data in the SDH frame structure, integrates overhead bytes into overhead bus (the overheads are transmitted via the bus; and the overhead bus carries the administrative bytes, orderwire bytes and switching bytes that comply with the ITU-T standards), and sends the data into the CSA/CSE board.
Utilizes the idle overhead bytes to implement the orderwire calls and data services.
Sends the overhead bytes that carry the control information to NCP board through ECC channel.
CSA/CSE board implements the overhead cross-connect. “Byte” is the minimum granularity of cross-connect. The overheads can be configured to any port as required by the EMS.
OW board only relates to CSA/CSE board. CSA/CSE board extracts/inserts idle overhead bytes, and uses these bytes to provide user with extra data service.

NCP board receives and processes ECC control information from all the boards, and sends the information to the destination board through the ECC channel.
Timing and Synchronization Output Function The ZXMP S385 employs the master/slave synchronization mode. The timing and synchronization is carried out by the cross-connect and clock board, specifically including:
1. Clock source selection
The ZXMP S385 can choose the external clock, the clock extracted from STM-N service interfaces, or the internal clock as the equipment timing reference. The working modes include locked, hold, and free-oscillation modes.
If the external timing reference is selected as the clock source, four external 2 MHz or 2 Mbit/s clock input references and 28 lines (or tributaries) timing input references can be set.
2. Clock source switching
When the clock source is lost, higher quality clock source recovers, or the current clock source quality degrades, the clock source switching will occur.
The system clock supports the synchronous priority switching and SSM algorithm-based automatic switching. In the complicated networking, the SSM algorithm-based automatic switching can optimize the timing and synchronization distribution of the network, reduce the difficulty of synchronization planning, avoid the timing loop and ensure the optimal network synchronization.
The system clock supports the ZTE owned patent “S1 byte algorithm patent technology”
3. Clock export
The system provides four external reference clocks for output and four external reference clocks for input. The interface type is 2 MBIT or 2MHZ, which is implemented by replacing the synchronous clock interface board (SCIB/SCIH), which provides two 75 Ω and two 120 Ω interfaces.
Alarm Input/Output Function 1. The NCP provides eight interfaces of external alarm Boolean-value.
Chapter 2 - System Functions
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 41
2. The NCP collects the alarm indication signals of the NEs, and sends them to the alarm box and the column head cabinet.
3. The system provides four user alarm interface outputs.
Cross-connect Function The cross-connect function refers to the cross-connect of AU-4, TU-3, TU-12, or TU-11 via optical line boards and electrical processing boards. The cross-connect matrix is used for protection switching.
Through its cross-connect and clock board, the ZXMP S385 achieves the pass-through, broadcast, add/drop, and cross-connect of services. The pass-through, broadcast, and add/drop are a subset of the cross-connect function. In the equipment, both the electrical tributary interface and the optical line interface enter the cross-connect network, and they have equivalent connections. Therefore, the services between interfaces can be cross-connected in any format, as shown in Figure 7.

The service signals received in the line are dropped to the tributary via the predefined timeslot, or the tributary service signals are added to the line via the configured timeslot. The add/drop service signals in the tributary of the ZXMP S385 can be assigned to any available timeslot. The add/drop service timeslots can be either the same or different. The signal cross-connect in the add/drop mode is shown in Figure 9.

6. Broadcast
The ZXMP S385 can implement the following broadcast functions: broadcast between the lines, as shown in Figure 10 (a); broadcast of timeslots inside the line, as shown in Figure 10 (b); dropping one service signal from a line to more than two tributary timeslots at the same time, or adding the tributary service signal to more than two line timeslots, as shown in Figure 10 (c); allocating timeslots in one tributary to more than two tributaries, as shown in Figure 10 (d).The above broadcast modes can be carried out simultaneously.

7. Cross-connect
The cross-connect between lines applies to protection switching, rout selection, and service grooming. It helps improve the network vitality and the band utilization efficiency. The cross-connect between line and tributary offers flexible service add/drop; the cross-connect between the tributaries can save the network construction investment and the timeslot resource of the backbone network. The cross-connect service mode is shown in Figure 11.

Protection Functions Protection functions include equipment-level protection and network-level protection.
Equipment-level Protection Power Supply Protection 1. Out-of-cabinet power protection
Two groups of -48 V power supplies access the equipment room for the ZXMP S385. The external power supply works in the 1+1 protection mode, ensuring that the equipment operates normally when either power supply group in the equipment room fails.
ZXMP S385 (V2.00&V2.10) Technical Manual
44 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION
2. Board power supply protection
The service boards employ the distributed power supply mode to reduce the power supply influence between boards to zero. All boards have overcurrent and overvoltage protections.
3. Protection for reversed polarities of power supply
Use the reverse-preventive diode for protection.
Cross-connect Protection and Clock Protection The ZXMP S385 provides the 1+1 protection for the cross-connect and clock board by configuring the two active and standby cross-connect and clock boards. In the case of failure, the cross-connect and clock boards will automatically switch between each other. The system also supports EMS obliged switching and manual switching.
1:N Protection for the Tributary Board The PDH, STM-1(e), and FE(e) service boards support 1:N hardware service protection: uses E1/T1 service board to implement 1:N (N≤9) protection; uses E3/T3, FE (e), or STM-1(e) service board to implement two groups of 1:N (N≤4) protection. The system can simultaneously support three groups of tributary protection: one group is for E1/T1, and the other two groups are for E3/T3/STM-1(e)/FE(e).
Network-Level Protection The ZXMP S385 complies with multiple networking features recommended by ITU-T. The protection modes include 1+1 link multiplex section protection, two-fiber unidirectional path protection ring, two-fiber bidirectional multiplex section protection ring, four-fiber bidirectional multiplex section protection ring (only supported by V2.10), dual node interconnection protection (DNI), and subnet connection protection (SNCP).
Its protection features also include Ethernet and IP rerouting in accordance with the IEEE802.3E requirements.

In order to satisfy the above requirements, the equipment should work in an equipment room that satisfies the following requirements:
1. No explosive, conductive, magnetic or corrosive dust in the transmission equipment room.
2. The concentration of dust particles with the diameter greater than 5 µm should be no greater than 3×104 particles/m3.

4. The equipment room should always keep clean, with doors and windows sealed.
EMC Requirements The requirements for EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) include two aspects: requirements for electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The following three criteria should be followed to judge the test result:
Performance criterion A: Continuous phenomenon
Neither error nor alarm is allowed.
After electromagnetic interference, the number of error bits does not exceed the maximum value of the normal requirement.
Performance criterion B: Transient phenomenon
Loss of frame alignment or loss of synchronization is not allowed during each individual exposure. No alarms shall be generated as a result of the electromagnetic stress.
The above does not apply to surge testing where some loss of frame alignment may be expected. For this test, the EUT shall operate as intended following the cessation of the exposure.
Performance criterion R: Resistivity
The equipment can pass the test without damage or producing other interference (e.g. software damage, or improper protection for faulty equipment), and can work properly within the specified limit after the transient phenomenon. It is unnecessary for the equipment to work properly during the test.
The interference imposed on the equipment during the test can cause action of the fuse or other specified device which need to be replaced or reset so that the equipment can work properly.

General transmitter pulse shape characteristics include rise time, fall time, pulse overshoot, pulse undershoot, and ringing. All these may deteriorate the sensitivity of the receiver and therefore should be restricted.
To prevent excessive deterioration of the receiver’s sensitivity, the waveform of transmit signal should be limited. Therefore, the eye diagram sent at the transmit point S is specified to regulate the pulse shape of transmit optical signal.

Mean optical launched power The mean optical launched power at reference point S (the transmit interface of the optical line board) is the mean power of a pseudo-random data sequence coupled into the optical fiber by the transmitter.
The power of the optical transmitter is related to the percentage of “1”s in the transmit signal. The more the “1”s are, the greater the optical launched power is.
When the transmit signals are pseudo-random sequence, “1”s and “0”s are approximately 50% each. In this case, the optical power is defined as the mean optical launched power.
The mean optical launched power parameters of the ZXMP S385 STM-N are listed in Table 30.

Mean optical received power Mean optical received power is the average power (tested at the current station) of a pseudo-random data sequence that is coupled into the optical fiber and sent to the local station by a transmitter of an upstream/downstream station.
The purpose of measuring the mean optical received power is to examine whether there is any break or loss in the optical cable, and whether the interfaces are well connected.
The mean optical received power should be greater than the worst sensitivity and less than the overload optical power of relevant optical boards.
The ZXMP S385 conforms to the above specifications.
Extinction ratio The extinction ratio refers to the ratio of the average optical power of optical transmit signal to the average optical power of optical non-transmit signal in the worst reflection and fully modulated conditions.
The extinction ratios of the ZXMP S385 are listed in Table 31.

Anti-Interference Capability of Input Interfaces The impedance mismatching between the digital distribution frame and digital output interface can cause signal reflection on the interface. The input interface must meet the following requirements to ensure that the system can endure this signal reflection:
When an interference signal described below is inserted, the input interface should not generate any bit error.
The ZXMP S385 satisfies the above requirement.
Interference signal: The interference signal has the same nominal frequency, tolerance, waveform, and code pattern as the main signal; but they come from different sources. The ratio of the main signal to the interference signal is 18 dB.
Waveform of Output Interfaces The waveform of output interface refers to the signal waveform parameters tested under the test load impedance specified for the output interface. It should comply with the template specified in ITU-T G.703 Recommendation. The waveforms of various electrical output interfaces of ZXMP S385 satisfy the template requirement.

Clock Specifications The clock timing and synchronous characteristics include the clock output jitter, permissible input interface attenuation, permissible input interface frequency deviation, signal bit rate allowance of the output interface, output interface waveform, switching of timing reference resources, long-term phase variation in the locked mode, clock accuracy in the hold mode, frequency accuracy of the internal oscillator in the free-oscillation mode.
Timing Principles The component closest to the SDH network synchronization performance is the clock unit. ITU-T Recommendations specify three types of clocks:
1. ITU-T G.811 specifies the primary reference clock.
2. ITU-T G.812 specifies slave clocks at different levels.
3. ITU-T G.813 specifies the slave clock of SDH equipment.
All the timings of SDH system should conform to the primary reference clock (PRC) described in G.811.
Output Jitter Output jitter: When there is no input jitter, output jitter refers to the jitter of the clock output interface.
When there is no input jitter, the inherent jitter of the 2 MHZ or 2 MBIT clock output interface in the ZXMP S385 should not exceed 0.05 UIP-P. The test is conducted at the time interval of 60 s, using a single pole bandpass filter with 20 Hz and 100 kHz turnover frequencies.
Permissible Input Interface Attenuation/Frequency Deviation and Others 1. Permissible input interface attenuation: The input interface should be
able to work properly when receiving the signals attenuated through the standard connection cable. Proper working is generally judged by no bit error or clock lock loss in the equipment.
The permissible input attenuation of the ZXMP S385 satisfies the following specifications:
The attenuation characteristic introduced by the input interface signal complies with the frequency square root rule. When using cables with attenuation range of 0 dB ~ 6 dB, no bit error or clock lock loss occurs in the equipment.
2. Permissible input interface frequency deviation: When the input interface receives signals with frequency deviation within the specified
ZXMP S385 (V2.00&V2.10) Technical Manual
74 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION
range, it can still work properly. Proper working is generally judged by no bit error or clock lock loss in the equipment.
The permissible input frequency deviation of the ZXMP S385 satisfies the following specifications:
When the input interface signal introduces frequency deviation of ± 4.6 ppm, no bit error or clock lock loss occurs in the equipment.
3. Signal bit rate tolerance of the output interface: the difference between the bit rate of actual clock signals and the specified nominal bit rate should not exceed the permissible difference range of each interface level, that is, the tolerance.
The signal bit rate tolerance of the output interface of the ZXMP S385 is within ± 4.6 ppm.
4. Output interface waveform: It refers to the parameter specifications of the output signal waveform when the test load impedance specified by the clock output interface.
The waveform of the ZXMP S385 output interface conforms to the relevant G.703 templates.
Refer to Figure 15 for the template of 2048 kbit/s clock signal.
Switching of Timing Reference Sources The ZXMP S385 is equipped with more than one external timing reference input. When the selected timing reference fails, the SDH equipment can automatically switch to another timing reference input using the S1 byte. For 2048 kbit/s external timing source, the timing reference failure refers to the signal loss of synchronous clock input interface; for the timing recovery through STM-N line signals, the timing reference failure refers to the loss of STM-N signals that bear timing signals, or the AIS occurrence.
Long-term Phase Variation in Locked Mode The long-term phase variation in the locked mode refers to the phase noise generated at the SEC output terminal when there is an ideal input reference signal. It is generally expressed by the Maximum Time Interval Error (MTIE) and Time Deviation (TDEV).The ZXMP S385 satisfies the requirements listed in Table 54, Table 55, and Table 56.

Clock Accuracy in Hold Mode Once all the timing references are lost, the SEC will enter the hold mode after transient phase variation. SEC will use the last frequency information saved before the timing reference signal is lost as its timing reference. At the same time, the oscillation frequency of the oscillator will slowly wander, but can still ensure that SEC frequency only has very small frequency deviation from the reference frequency in a long time; thus, the slip impairment will stay within the permissible specification. This mode can be used to deal with external clock interruption faults lasting for several days.
When SEC loses its reference source and enters the hold mode, the phase error ΔT between the SEC output signal and SEC input signal should not exceed the following limit when observation time S is greater than 15 s:
ΔT(S)=[(a1+a2)S+0.5bS2+c] ns, where
a1=50 ns/s, denoting the initial frequency deviation of 5×10-8.
a2=2000 ns/s, denoting the frequency deviation of 2×10-6, which is caused by the temperature change when the clock enters the hold mode. If there is no temperature change, there will be no a2S in the phase error ΔT.
b=1.16×10-4 ns/s. It is caused by aging, corresponding to 1×10-8/day frequency wander.
c=120 ns, including any additional phase deviation that might be generated during the transition period when entering the hold mode.
The ZXMP S385 satisfies the above requirements.
Frequency Accuracy of the Internal Oscillator in Free-oscillation Mode The internal oscillator of the SEC works in the free-oscillation mode when the SEC loses all of the timing references and their memories or the SEC
ZXMP S385 (V2.00&V2.10) Technical Manual

has no hold mode at all. Its output frequency accuracy must be within a certain accuracy range.
For a reference that conforms to the G.811, the SEC output frequency accuracy should be no greater than 4.6 ppm for SDH terminal equipment working in the free-oscillation mode, and no greater than 20 ppm for REG equipment.
The ZXMP S385 satisfies all these specifications.
Optical Amplifier Specifications OA boards of the ZXMP S385 are classified into OBA and OPA according to their locations.

Tip: The port flow control function must be disabled when conducting the throughput test.
3. Packet Loss Ratio
Packet loss ratio refers to the maximum acceptable packet loss ratio under the prerequisite that data is normally received. There is no specific criterion for packet loss ratio. However, it should be as low as possible and close to 0 under certain conditions.
Tip: The port flow control function must be disabled when conducting the packet loss ratio test.
4. Delay
Delay refers to the maximum acceptable delay under the prerequisite that data is normally received. There is no specific criterion for delay. However, it should be as small as possible under certain conditions.
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) Specifications 1. Basic VLAN Function Specifications
The basic VLAN function refers to the equipment supported function of the tag-based VLAN that complies with the IEEE 802.1Q Standard. Through the ZXONM E300 configuration, the ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet boards support this function.
2. Trunk Specifications
Trunk means transmitting large-capacity Ethernet services by binding multiple Ethernet interfaces. The Ethernet interfaces in the same trunk group have the same VLAN configuration attributes.
3. Number of VLAN IDs
In IEEE 802.1Q Recommendation, a header of four bytes is defined as a VLAN ID. Each port can belong to multiple VLANs. The range of VLAN ID is 1 to 4094.
The ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet boards satisfy this requirement.
4. VLAN Priority
Under the prerequisite that the QoS function is enabled, when services from multiple sources are converged at one transmitting port, the port can transmit these services according to the preset VLAN priorities and bandwidths corresponding to these priorities. Once the total traffic exceeds the transmitting bandwidth of the port, the port will drop the
Chapter 3 - Technical Specifications
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 79
services that have lower priorities and exceed the bandwidth limit, to ensure the normal transmission of services with higher priorities.
The ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet boards support configuration of VLAN priority and bandwidth proportion.
Specifications of L2 Switching 1. Maximum and Minimum Frame Lengths
They refer to the frame length range of the data frame. The frame length ranges that the ZXMP S385 Ethernet boards can handle are listed in Table 59.
2. Security Filtering Characteristics
The security filtering characteristics include static MAC address setting and MAC address filtering.
i. Static MAC address setting
The static address setting is to manually add a MAC address and the corresponding port information into the MAC address list. Only the receiving port that is set can receive the data flow normally without packet loss.
Through the ZXONM E300 configuration, the ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet boards including SEC, RSEB, and MSE support this function.
ii. MAC address filtering
MAC address filtering is to manually add a MAC address, and filter the frames that use this MAC address as the source/destination address. The port that is set cannot receive any data flow.
With the cooperation of the ZXONM E300 EMS, the ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet boards including SEC, RSEB, and MSE support this function.
3. QoS and Flow Control Specifications
Both the QoS and the flow control are congestion handling methods. QoS emphasizes the normal operation of standard services to maximize the bandwidth utilization. The services exceeding the flow standard are processed by the packet discard method when the flow requirement cannot be satisfied. While the flow control handles the congestion by temporarily stopping the transmission of the transmitting end, thus ensures that the flow is not discarded.
With the cooperation of the ZXONM E300 EMS, the ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet boards including SEC, RSEB, and MSE support these two functions.
4. Convergence Ratio Specifications
Convergence means that services of multiple system interfaces occupy one user interface bandwidth.

ATM Characteristics The ATM characteristics include the VP/VC exchange, range of VPI/VCI value, VP/VC multicast, transmission priority of ATM cell, VP-Ring protection, protection between layers, and ATM transmission performance.
VP/VC Exchange The permanent virtual circuit (PVC) established for ATM service has two connection types: virtual path (VP) connection and virtual channel (VC) connection.
Figure 24 illustrates the relations between the transmission channels and these two types of connections.

A VC is a communication channel transferring ATM cells between two or more ends.
A VP is a group of virtual paths with identical ends, and this group of virtual paths is identified with an identical VPI (VP Identifier).
The ATM determines the source address and destination address of cells according to the identifiers of VP and VC (VPI/VCI). Therefore, there are two kinds of exchanges: VP exchange and VC exchange.
VP exchange
The VP exchange performs the exchange between virtual paths. The VCI in this VP does not change after exchanging.
For example, as illustrated in Figure 25, after the VP (1) is exchanged to VP (4), the value of VCI in VP (1) does not change.

VC exchange
The VC exchange involves the VP exchange and VC exchange at the same time.
At first, the VP exchange is performed. After the VP connection terminates, all virtual channels on that VP continue exchanging, and are added into the destination VC finally.
For example, Figure 26 illustrates the VC exchange of two groups:
Exchange between VP (1) VC (1) and VP (2) VC (3);
Exchange between VP (1) VC (2) and VP (4) VC (4).

84 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION
Range of VPI/VCI Value ATM services can be transmitted or received normally only when the VP/VC connection is within the value range.
The range of VPI value for network-to-network interface (NNI) is 0 ~ 4095; the range of VPI value for user-to-network interface (UNI) is 0 ~ 255.
The range of VCI value is 1 ~ 16383.
The AP1x8 board of ZXMP S385 meets the value range requirements above.
VP/VC Multicast VP/VC spatial multicast
The VP/VC link transmitting ATM service can be copied to two or more physical interfaces, and for each interface there is only one ATM link.
VP/VC logical multicast
The VP/VC link transmitting ATM service can be copied to VP/VC links sharing one physical interface.
The AP1x8 board provided by ZXMP S385 supports both the VP/VC spatial multicast and logical multicast.
Transmission Priority of ATM Cells The ATM service has four types:
Constant bit rate service (CBR)
Real-time variable bit rate service (rt-VBR)
Non-real-time variable bit rate service (nrt-VBR)
Unspecified bit rate service (UBR)
The ATM services transmission priority is: CBR > rt-VBR > nrt-VBR > UBR.
When the transmission flow of ATM services exceeds the maximum cell flow traffic of the ATM equipment, the ATM equipment will discard cells according to the priority of services once the congestion occurs.
The AP1x8 board provided by the ZXMP S385 has the above function.
VP-Ring Protection The VP-Ring protection adopts the principle of concurrent transmitting and preferred receiving with alarm supervision.
The standby VP connection of the receive direction will be selected when alarms are found, such as VP-AIS (VP alarm indication signal), LOS (loss of signal), LOF (loss of frame), OOF (out of frame), and LAIS (line alarm indication signal). When the alarms disappear and no alarm appear after

the switching restore time, the previous active VP connection will recover automatically.
The AP1x8 board of ZXMP S385 supports the enable and restore of VP-Ring protection after configured in the ZXONM E300.
Tip: The ATM service type of CBR is recommended for testing the VP-Ring protection
Protection between Layers The AP1x8 board provided by ZXMP S385 can support the protection of SDH layer and ATM layer. The protection of ATM layer refers to VP or VC protection.
When the network fails, the SDH layer protection will be enabled first. If the SDH layer protection fails after the protection switching delay of ATM layer, the ATM layer protection will be enabled. Once the service recovers, the ATM service will return to the working connection channel from protection connection after switching restore time.
The delay of this protection ranges from 0 s to 10 s.
The switching restore time refers to the restore time of the ATM layer protection. It ranges from 1 ms to 30 ms.
The AP1x8 board of ZXMP S385 can enable and restore the protection between layers.
Tip:
The ATM service type of CBR is recommended for testing the protection between layers.
The switching restore time of protection between layers refer to the restore time of ATM layer protection.
ATM Transmission Performance The ATM transmission performance represents the transmission quality of ATM cells.
The cell transmission quality involves cell transfer delay (CTD), cell delay variation (CDV), cell loss ratio (CLR), cell error ratio (CER), cell mis-insertion ratio (CMR), and bit error ratio (BER).
To guarantee the transmission quality of ATM services, the requirements of parameters specified above are different for ATM services of different types (CBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VBR, and UBR).
The AP1x8 board of ZXMP S385 supports ATM service types of CBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VBR, or UBR. And the cell transmission quality of these services can be supervised with data network analyzers.

The ZXMP S385 networking examples
Networking Modes With large transmission capacity, the ZXMP S385 can apply to both the backbone network and the local network.
Tip: When the ZXMP S385 applies to the backbone network for long-haul transmission, it is necessary to consider the restrictions of dispersion to the transmission distance.
The ZXMP S385 can implement the following various networking modes.
Point-to-Point Networking The point-to-point network constructed with the ZXMP S385 supports aggregate rates of STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, and STM-64. It is applicable to large-capacity inter-office trunk and inter-office expansion.
ZXMP S385 equipment with the configuration of dual terminal multiplexers (TM) can be used to build up a point-to-point network with 1+1 protection or without protection. There is no protection for ZXMP S385 equipment as a single TM.
Under the 1+1 protection mode, two aggregate boards protect each other. This mode enhances the reliability of service transmission at the price of the decrease of service access capability.
Under the non-protection mode, the service access capability is improved while the transmission reliability may not be guaranteed.

The ZXMP S385 equipment with dual TMs or dual ADMs can form a 1+1 protection chain, while the ZXMP S385 with a single TM or a single ADM forms a chain network with no protection.
Under the 1+1 protection mode, two aggregate boards protect each other. This mode enhances the reliability of service transmission, but it lowers the service access capability.
Under the non-protection mode, the networking of dual-ADM and dual-TM can improve the service access capabilities. However, it reduces the reliability of service transmission.
Ring Network Line interfaces of the ring network features the characteristic of self-closure. The tributary services between NEs can be transmitted from end to end in two directions (east and west). This kind of network topology has a strong adaptability and self-healing capability, applicable to large-capacity optical networks.
There are two types of self-healing ring structures: path protection ring and MS protection ring. From the view of the abstract functional structure, the path protection ring and MS protection ring respectively belongs to the subnet connection protection and path protection.
Usually the ZXMP S385 equipment can form a 2-fiber/4-fiber bidirectional MS protection ring, or a 2-fiber unidirectional path switching ring at STM-4/STM-16/STM-64 level.

2-fiber unidirectional path switching ring
The ZXMP S385 can constitute 2-fiber unidirectional path switching ring at STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, and STM-64 levels.
Figure 30 illustrates the single point configuration.

As shown in Figure 30, the working path and the protection path are positioned in two optical transmission aggregates in opposite directions. Their timeslots are configured in the EMS.
Advantages of the path protection ring
It features the fast and flexible protection switching and capability to provide switching at various capacity levels. The switching is determined locally and is independent of the network topology.
It is applicable to various complex network topologies and is not confined to the ring topology. Therefore, it is more applicable to dynamic network environments, such as cellular telecommunication network.
Chapter 4 - Configuration and Networking
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 93
Disadvantages of the path protection ring
All the tributary signals are in the structure of concurrent transmitting and priority receiving. That means all the tributary signals are transmitted to the receiving node in two directions along the whole ring. Therefore, the total add/drop traffic of all NEs (traffic of the ring) should be less than or equal to the system capacity of ADM equipment.
It is applicable to the access network, trunk network, and toll network, where the traffic is centralized and the capacity is relatively small.
2-fiber/4-fiber bidirectional MS switching ring (shared ring)
Note: The ZXMP S385 V2.10 supports 4-fiber bidirectional MS switching ring; while the ZXMP S385 V2.00 and below does not.
The ZXMP S385 can form a 2-fiber/4-fiber bidirectional MS switching ring at STM-4/STM-16/STM-64 level. In a 2-fiber bidirectional MS switching ring, each NE should have two aggregate boards; and in a 4-fiber bidirectional MS switching ring, each NE should have four aggregate boards.
When configuring the ZXMP S385 equipment to 2-fiber/4-fiber bidirectional MS switching ring, the user can choose whether to carry extra service or not.
The 2-fiber/4-fiber bidirectional MS switching ring is capable of transmitting large amount of traffic. The maximum capacity of a 2-fiber bidirectional MS protection ring can reach up to (K/2)×STM-N, where “K” is the number of nodes in the ring and “STM-N” is the highest rate of the ring; and with extra service. A 4-fiber bidirectional MS protection ring at STM-N level has the maximum capacity of K×STM-N.
Advantages of the MS protection ring: large transmission capacity and flexible switching.
Disadvantages of the MS switching ring: fault response/recovery time is relatively long due to the APS protocol to be processed.
They are applicable to the large-capacity transmission at STM-16/STM-64 level, for trunk network or toll network with dispersed traffic.
DNI Networking The rate of the ZXMP S385 DNI networking is determined by the rate of the ring networks. The DNI network generally works at the rate of STM-16 or STM-64.
The DNI networking provides protections for multiple paths and key nodes. It is applicable to the local transmission backbone network.
The DNI networking for the ZXMP S385 is illustrated in Figure 31.

Actually, the DNI network can be looked as a networking mode of two interconnected ring networks. The interconnected ring networks can provide inter-ring service protection. These two ring networks can be of the same protection type, such as interconnected path rings, or of different protection types, such as a path ring interconnected with a MS ring.
Hybrid Networking The ZXMP S385 equipment can work together with other transmission equipments of ZTE for hybrid networking. For example, Figure 32 illustrates a hybrid network composed of the ZXMP S385 and the ZXMP S385 equipment.

Networking Application of Multi-Service Node Equipment When the ZXMP S385 equipment is configured with TGE2B, SEC, RSEB, or MSE board, the equipment not only has the functions of traditional SDH equipment, but also the Ethernet data process function of multi-service node equipment.
The following content describes several typical networking modes using the multi-service node equipment. In order to highlight the networking application using multi-service node equipment, the networking diagrams only display the Ethernet board of the ZXMP S385 equipment.
Networking via Transparent Transmission Ethernet Board Configured with the TGE2B board, the ZXMP S385 can provide two 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet interfaces and two system ports. The Ethernet interfaces connect with the user's router or switch through Ethernet optical fiber, to provide gigabit Ethernet channel and transparently transmit Ethernet data via the TGE2B board and optical line board.
Point-to-Point Networking It is the typical networking mode to transparently transmit the Ethernet service, as shown in Figure 38.

This networking method can configure two independent gigabit Ethernet channels: one is the channel between the 1# Ethernet optical interface of TGE2B board 1 and the 1# Ethernet optical interface of TGE2B board 2; the other is the channel between the 2# Ethernet optical interface of TGE2B board 1 and the 2# Ethernet optical interface of TGE2B board 2.
The Ethernet interface and the system port are bounded to perform the transparent transmission.

In Figure 39, the NE equipped with TGE2B board 2 is the central site that service is added and dropped. Suppose one gigabit Ethernet channel has been established between the 1# Ethernet optical interface of TGE2B board 1 and the 1# Ethernet optical interface of TGE2B board 2, then the TGE2B board 3 can only establish a channel with the 2# Ethernet optical interface of TGE2B board 2 through the 2# Ethernet optical interface of itself.
Networking via Smart Ethernet Board When the ZXMP S385 equipment is configured with SEC or MSE board, it has highly integrated ports and the function of Ethernet L2 switching, with powerful networking capability.
Networking via Ethernet boards are similar. Ethernet interfaces of Ethernet board connect with user equipment or the Ethernet. Then the Ethernet board performs the L2 switching of Ethernet data and the mapping of SDH data. Finally it transmits the Ethernet data via the SDH transmission network.
The SEC board provides one 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet (GE) optical interfaces, and eight 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet electrical interfaces or eight 100 Mbit/s Ethernet optical interfaces.
The MSE board provides two 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet (GE) optical interfaces, and eight 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet electrical interfaces or eight 100 Mbit/s Ethernet optical interfaces.
Taking the SEC board as example, the typical networking modes include: chain network, tree network, ring network, and mesh network.

The chain network can perform basic switching of Ethernet service, and send the non-VLAN and VLAN service of the user Ethernet to the configured port.
In order to handle the path congestion, flow control or QoS function can be enabled. QoS and flow control aim at different purposes, restricting each other and cannot coexist.
The main purpose of flow control is to avoid packet loss during congestion. When congestion occurs, enable the “flow control” option of the system ports of SFEx6 boards at the two ends.
QoS is another way to handle congestion. It can guarantee multiple unrelated services to work at the same port according to configurations, and thus make the best use of the port resource and work without interference with each other. In a chain network, if multiple VLAN services share one limited bandwidth link, enable the QoS function at all the related ports and complete the related configurations.

Tree network is similar to chain network. It can perform the switching of Ethernet services. Path congestion can be handled by enabling the flow control or QoS function.
In Figure 41, suppose the three system ports of SEC board 1 respectively have service connections with the system port of SEC board 2, SEC board 3, and SEC board 4. When the total traffic of all the system ports of SEC boards is less than 100 Mbit/s, enable the flow control option at the six connected system ports of SEC boards to prevent packet loss.
Suppose the traffic to SEC board 2, SEC board 3, and SEC board 4 is sent through the same system port of SEC board 1, when the total traffic at this system port of SEC board 1 is greater than 100 Mbit/s, the QoS function of the system port must be enabled to handle the congestion; configure the service priorities and assign the bandwidth; meanwhile, enable the QoS function for all the related user ports and set priorities for QoS.

The ring network can perform the switching of Ethernet services. In addition, it is necessary to configure the spanning tree protocol of virtual bridge in order to avoid traffic loop. A virtual bridge is generated when a smart Ethernet board is included in a VLAN.
The spanning tree protocol aims to enable the bridge dynamically find a topology which is a subnet (tree) without loop, so as to guarantee the maximum connectivity of the network and to avoid the broadcast storm resulted from loop. Data will only be transmitted and received between the valid ports of the spanning tree, and will not be sent to any port which is not in the spanning tree.
Apply the flow control or QoS to prevent packet loss during path congestion. Refer to Tree Network section for usage.

Networking via Embedded RPR Board Configured with RSEB board, the ZXMP S385 can perform the mapping from Ethernet service to RPR (Resilient Packet Ring) and complete the unique function of RPR. In addition, it can make use of the path bandwidth resource of SDH/MSTP ring network, to offer the dual-ring topology required by RPR and realize the ring connection of RPR nodes.
The system side of RSEB board offers two RPR SPAN ports and four EOS ports. The RPR SPAN port can connect one 155 Mbit/s traffic to a bidirectional RPR ring of 1.25 Gbit/s. The EOS port is used for RPR service cross-ring or interworking with EOS board such as SEC and MSE.

RPR is a dual-ring structure which is similar to the topology of SDH bidirectional MS ring. It is composed of two ringlets with opposite directions. The ringlet with clockwise direction is called ringlet 0, and that with counter-clockwise direction is called ringlet 1. When configuring the RSEB board to be a RPR ring, it is necessary to connect the SPAN1 port with the neighbored SPAN2 port in the RPR ring, as shown in Figure 44.
ATM Service Application Configured with AP1x8 board, the ZXMP S385 has the ATM data process function of MAN equipment.
The AP1x8 board offers eight 155 Mbit/s optical interfaces at the ATM side for ATM service accessing, and it can perform local switching at VP/VC level via its switching module. At the system side, the AP1x8 board offers one 622 Mbit/s system interface that can enable long-haul transmission of ATM service over the SDH optical network after configuration in the ZXONM E300 EMS.

ATM service access
In Figure 45, a single node accesses ATM service in the method of 8:1 bandwidth convergence with the rate of 155 Mbit/s.
According to the ring network rate, ATM service data can share one VC-4 or each occupies a VC-4 path. In addition, the ring network can access ATM backbone switch or higher-order SDH ring network via a certain node.
Requirement of AP1x8 board configuration
Configure the AP1x8 board at each node that accesses ATM service, so as to implement the bandwidth convergence function and improve the bandwidth utilization ratio. The other nodes in the ring network do not need such configuration.
ATM service protection
ATM service supports the SDH-layer protection and ATM-layer protection, among which the ATM-layer protection refers to VP or VC protection and is performed by AP1x8 board.
In case of network fault, SDH-layer protection is first started. If the ATM-layer protection switching delay has passed and the SDH-layer protection is still invalid, the ATM-layer protection is started. After the service recovers, ATM service will return from the protection path to the previous working path after the switching recovery time passed.

Service Requirements among the sites:
Between site A and site B: two STM-1 optical signal services
Between site A and site C: two STM-1 optical signal services, and a transparent transmission Ethernet electrical service with the rate less than 1000 Mbit/s
Between site A and site D: two STM-1 optical signal services, and ATM service
Between site B and site D: fifty 2 M services
Orderwire telephone is available among the sites.
Note: The STM-1 services are the short-haul services.
Networking Analysis 1. Determine the equipment and rate.
The network aggregate rate is 10 Gbit/s. It is recommended to install the ZTE ZXMP S385 at the rate of STM-64 at sites A, B, C, and D.
2. Determine the network topology
Determine the network topology according to the sites and services distributions. Use the ring network as much as possible if the route allows or the cables and fibers are enough, because the ring network has good self-healing capability. Hybrid networking can be considered for complex site distribution.
Chapter 4 - Configuration and Networking
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 115
In this example, it is recommend to use the ring network according to the sites geographical locations and service distributions.
3. Determine the protection mode
Configure the ring network to be an STM-64 multiplex section protection ring to improve the system reliability.
4. Determine the EMS and access NE
Select to install the EMS according to the equipment type. The selected EMS should be able to ensure unified management of different kinds of devices in the network as much as possible. The access NE refers to the NE that accesses the EMS computer. Usually the access NE is placed at the site where the service traffic is relatively centralized.
Decide whether the connection between the EMS and access NE is local or remote. In the case of a remote EMS, determine the type of the communication network.
This example uses the ZXONM E300 as the EMS because the network is composed of ZXMP S385. The access NE is placed at site A where the traffic is the heaviest. The connection between the EMS and the access NE is local.
5. Determine the clock source and network head NE
Determine the clock source according to the user requirements. The clock sources include the external clock, line clock, and internal clock. The network head NE refers to the NE configured as the clock source. The network synchronization clock is obtained from this NE. Usually, configure the network head NE and the access NE to be the same NE in order to make the daily equipment maintenance easy.
In this example, NE A is set as the network head NE, and the clock source type is internal clock.
The system networking diagram got from the above analysis is shown in Figure 47.

Networking Configuration Networking configurations are implemented by ZXONM E300 EMS. There are two kinds of typical flows.
1. Create the NE as online
Create an online NE → Select the access NE → Install boards → Connect the NE → Configure the MS protection → Configure services → Configure overheads → Configure clock sources → Configure orderwire → Extract the NCP time
2. Create the NE as offline
Create an offline NE → Select the access NE → Install boards → Connect the NE → Configure the MS protection → Configure services → Configure overheads → Configure clock sources → Configure orderwire
After the above configurations, modify the offline NE to be online, download the NE database, and finally extract the NCP time.
Note: Refer to the ZXONM E300 EMS/SNMS operation manual for the detailed operations of networking configuration.
Application Features This networking example employs the ring network topology, and the protection method is the two-fiber bidirectional multiplex section protection ring.
When any site in the ring network fails or the fiber is broken, the service will not be affected and the transmission will continue by switching to the protection mode due to the network self-healing function and the warm backup functions of the critical boards.
The multiplex section protection ring enables the repetitive use of timeslots in the ring. The maximum service capacity of the ring network can reach as much as K/2×STM-N (K refers to the number of nodes in the ring network, STM-N is the maximum rate of the ring network). Thus the maximum service capacity of this networking example is 2×STM-64.
This networking mode is applicable to the transmission backbone networks with scattered nodes (sites) and high service reliability requirement.
