WARNING
This equipment is to be installed in a rack above a non-combustible surface or

above a solid metal plate or material rated 94-5V.
Any site construction, whether new construction or renovation work, that
allows traceable amounts of dust (from gypsum products, sheet rock, cement,
etc.) or airborne corrosives (chlorine-based solvents used in preparation of
ceilings, walls, and floors, such as muriatic acid) to enter or contact any Turin
Networks equipment can lead to catastrophic damage to electronic
components and circuitry.
Unless appropriate steps are taken to secure the construction area to prevent
these materials from coming in contact with the equipment, short-term failure
can occur and/or long-term reliability can be adversely affected.
References that can be used to define normal and acceptable environmental
conditions:
• Telcordia Technical Reference GR-63-CORE.
• International Electromechanical Commission (IEC) Standard Publication 721
Any customer installing Turin Networks equipment in unfinished premises or
contemplating construction or renovation (or storage of corrosives) at or near
an Turin Networks equipment installation should be aware of the potential
damage and impact to warranties that can be caused if such equipment is not
properly protected.
Steps that should be taken to protect Turin Networks equipment, if exposure to
airborne contamination is likely, include, but are not limited to:
1. Equipment cabinets should be covered with plastic sheeting from floor to
ceiling (or sufficient to isolate it from the source of contamination), allowing
sufficient surrounding airspace for proper equipment cooling.
2. Fresh external (clean) air should be piped in to the enclosed area via a
temporary duct.
3. Positive internal air pressure should be maintained inside the enclosure.
4. Corrosive-type materials used for etching should NOT BE USED OR
STORED IN THE VICINITY OF THE Turin Networks EQUIPMENT. This type of
activity should be completed in advance of installation or equipment already in
place must be de-installed and removed from the area until the process is
completed.

1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
1.1 Introduction
Turin Networks’ TransAccess 200 (or TA-200) was originally designed to address the ever-increasing
demand for cost-effective multiplexing from T1 to either T3 or STS-1. Traditional T1 to T3 multiplexers
have been available for many years. However, next generation equipment being developed today is
geared for the SONET infrastructure being deployed by most of the carriers. Many of these SONET
systems are deployed with STS-1 interfaces rather than T3, resulting in the need for STS-1 compatible
multiplexers.
The TA-200 was the first system that provides a programmable multiplexer from T1 to either T3 or STS-
1 on the same module. The TA-200 was also the first product that supported up to seven fully redundant
multiplexers in a single 2 RU shelf.
Release 4.0 added three new features. First, it enhances the choices of managing the TransAccess 200
with the addition of a web browser interface. Second, a modification of the OMX3 module has been
made so that we could offer a cost reduced version that only support T3 drops. This new module is the
OMXT3. Finally, the TransAccess 200 system can be powered from +24 VDC in addition to the standard
–48 VDC.
Release 5.0 added additional software features such as T1 Loop-up/Loop-down functionality to the PM13
family of modules, expanded alarm logs, remote management via DCC, protection switching for T1/E1
failures, and software download via TFTP. The PM13 modules will generate and react to Loop-up/Loop-
down codes by way of the 28 T1 drop ports. In addition, the TransAccess 200 menu structure has been
altered to better organize common functions across all the different types of modules.
Release 6.1 adds another choice for managing the TransAccess 200 using TL1 commands and adds the
ability to backup and restore the configuration data of the TransAccess 200. Release 7.0 modifies the
OC-3/STM-1 DCC protocol to support IP/PPP.
1.2 Theory of Operation
The TransAccess 200 shelf accommodates 16 card slots in a 23” shelf or 12 card slots in a 19” shelf and
is 3.5” tall.

The PM13 (Programmable M13 multiplexer) module was the first TransAccess 200 service module
released. As depicted in Figure 1-3, the T1/VT1.5 mapper exchanges 28 T1s for 28 VT1.5s when the
PM13 module is configured for STS-1 operation. When the PM13 is programmed for T3 operation, the
T1’s are multiplexed into 7 T2’s and then into the T3 signal.

Figure 1-3: PM13 Block Diagram
PM13 Redundancy Interface Mdules (RIM) screw to the rear of the shelf. An Input RIM and an Output
RIM are used for each pair of redundant slots. Each PM13 RIM provides a 68-pin SCCI-II connector for
interfacing the T1 signals and a BNC connector for the T3/STS-1 signals.
The OMX3 module can work in an add/drop configuration or in a terminal application. As Figure 1-4
shows, the OMX3 module has three drop ports that can be configured for T3, STS-1, or AU3. The three
electrical interfaces (TX and RX) exit out the back of the shelf via SMA connectors on the OMX3 IN and
OUT RIMs or can be interconnected to the PM13 modules with the “terminal” RIM option. The optical
connections are made from the front of the module via an ‘LC’ type connector.
Figure 1-5 shows a picture of the PM13E block diagram. The PM13E module accepts up to 21 E1
signals and can be programmed to multiplex any of 3 ways. Either T3 via G.747 multiplexing, STS-1 via
VT2 mapping, or AU3 via VC12/TUG-2 mapping.

2.2 Equipment Installation
The 23-inch or 19-inch TransAccess 200 Shelf can be mounted in Standard EIA 23-inch or 19- inch
racks. The racks may be channel, duct, or unequal flange duct. Mounting ears are reversible, as shown in
Figure 2-1, allowing:
• Flush mounting to the front of the rack (Figure 2-1a)

• Offset mounting that projects the shelf 5 inches out from the front of the rack (Figure 2-1b)
Figure 2-1a: Shelf Mounting Ear Position for Flush Mounting
Figure 2-1b: Shelf Mounting Ear Position for Offset Mounting
Access to the rear of an TransAccess 200 shelf is normally required only during the initial installation and
when adding additional facility connections. Once installed, the TransAccess 200 System only requires
front access for normal maintenance and configuration operations.
1. Verify rack-mounting ears are installed in proper orientation. If required, change orientation:
A. Remove ears by removing four screws on the outside of the shelf.

2.3 Installation/Replacement of Service Modules

PRECAUTION: MODULES USED IN THIS EQUIPMENT CONTAIN
ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS THAT MAY BE DAMAGED BY
STATIC ELECTRICITY. WHEN HANDLING MODULES, USE
A STATIC-DISSIPATIVE KIT AND TOUCH ONLY THE
FRONT PANEL OR SIDE EDGES. AVOID TOUCHING THE
REAR EDGE CONNECTORS, SOLDER CONNECTIONS,
COMPONENTS, OR COMPONENT PINS.
Modules operate in conjunction with an In and Out 1x1 Redundancy Service Module (RIM). In order for
the service modules to be recognized by the MPU, the RIM must be installed at the time the system is
powered up or the module is plugged in. If a service module is plugged in without a RIM in the rear slot,
it will not be configured by the MPU.
1. Locate the slot position for the module.

2. Install the service module as follows:
A. Carefully slide module into slot module guides.
B. Press firmly on the faceplate and handle to engage module into place.
C. Tighten screw to lock in module.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 2-4
2.4 Redundancy Interface Module (RIM) Installation
Redundancy Interface Modules (RIMs) are used to provide 1x1 redundancy for the TransAccess 200
service modules. Two redundancy modules are provided; one to handle the outgoing T1/E1 and
T3/AU3/STS-1 signals and another to handle the incoming T1/E1 and T3/AU3/STS-1 signals. Both In
and Out RIMs are required whether or not redundant PM13, PM13E, or OMX3 modules are equipped. In
OMX3 terminal mode applications, those in which all the T3/AU3/STS-1 signals drop out at the node and
connect to PM13 or PM13E modules, an optional “terminal” RIM may be installed to eliminate the
external coax cabling to the PM13 or PM13E modules.
Install two or more RIMs from the rear of the TransAccess 200, Figure 2-6. Each RIM should be
plugged into a connector on the rear of the shelf such that it matches the card slots that are to be serviced
by the RIM. The Transmit RIM plugs in behind the 1st slot and the Receive RIM next to it. The slots are
keyed so that the Transmit and Receive RIMs cannot be interchanged. The optional “terminal” RIM is
installed across 8 slots, starting with an odd-numbered slot.
For example, a 1x1 Out RIM should be installed into connector J18 and an In RIM into J19 to equip
service module card slots 1 and 2 for 1x1 redundancy. Additional 1x1 RIMs could be installed into
connectors J20 through J31 to provide 1x1 redundancy for card slots 3 through 14.
If the TRML RIM is used, install it first as shown in Figure 2-5. The TRML can go across any 8 module
slots as long as the first slot is an odd-numbered slot. Once the TRML RIM is installed, plug in the RIM
cover (behind the OMX3 modules) and IN and OUT RIMs as shown in Figure 2-6.

"A" and "B" Office Battery signals are fed to all modules, providing redundant power connections. The
Signal Ground and Chassis Ground is common within the TransAccess 200 system. 14-gauge wire is
recommended for distances up to 100 feet to the battery source.
2.5.2 Office Alarm & External Clock Connections
J32 provides terminal block connections for connection to the external clock and office alarms. Up to 18
gauge wire should be used. Pin 1 is at the top of connector J32.
NOTE: The alarm relay connections can also be used to drive remote alarms using the Normally
Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) contacts.
NOTE: Older backplanes will require a small adapter card to be installed between the input
clock terminal block and the clock cable entering the shelf. Screw down the two pins of the clock
adapter module into the clock inputs of the terminal block and then connect the clock cable to the
adapter module.

commands (loopbacks or T1/E1 test signals, for example) are active.
2.5.3 Service Module Facility Connections
T1/E1 and T3/STS-1/AU3 facility connections are made directly to the Redundancy Interface Modules.
T3/STS-1/AU3 signals are provided on BNC type connectors for the PM13 or PM13E modules and SMA
connectors for the OMX3 module. T1/E1 facility connections are made through the 68-pin connector on
the IN and OUT RIM modules. A Turin Networks cable adapter (consult Turin sales or customer service
for part number) can be used to convert the T1/E1 signals to a standard 64-pin CHAMP (Plug) connector
for connection to a T1/E1 jackpanel or cable assembly. Wirewrap cables are also available (consult Turin
sales or customer service for part number) for wiring to DSX panels. The T1/E1 cable pin-out is shown
in Table 2-4. OC-3/STM-1 optical connections are made from the front of the OMX3 service module via
‘LC’ type connectors.
2.5.4 Remote Management Interface Connection
J17 on the rear of the TransAccess 200 shelf provides an interface for various remote management

Enable power to the TransAccess 200 shelf by engaging the switch(es) or fuse(s) at the Distribution Fuse
Panel that feed the "A" and/or "B" Battery connections.
After the power is connected, the MPU(s) will perform a self-test. After this, the online MPU will
download any necessary firmware to each Service Module and then configure each Service Module per
its default template (only for those card slots that had previously configured modules plugged in). The
MPU will declare any unconfigured Service Module slots as "not equipped" and will not alarm them.
Verify that the on-line MPU module displays a steady green Status LED after the download and
configuration routines are complete. If not, refer to the MPU troubleshooting details in Section 3. The
off-line MPU Module LED should be off.
Verify that all "on-line" Service Modules display a steady green LED, indicating that they are on line and
fully operational with good signals attached. If a Service Module LED is red or flashing red, first verify
that all incoming signals are properly connected and are known good signals. Refer to Service Module
troubleshooting details in Section 3.1.4, Section 3.2.4, and Section 3.3.4 for those modules that still do
not display a green LED. The LED on each off-line Protection Module should be off.
Press and quickly release the Lamp Test/ACO button on either MPU Module. The LED indicators on all
modules should illuminate. All STATUS LEDs should turn yellow during Lamp Test. The Lamp Test
will automatically terminate in 3 seconds.
2.8 Configuration and Testing
After its normal power-on self-test, the MPU Modules should be fully operational. Previously
programmed Service Modules are automatically configured with default settings at the initial power-up.
Modules added at a later time must be configured using the Discover command from the User Interface
Device per Chapter 4.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 2-10
Change any parameters from their default settings by connecting a User Interface Device (PC running a
terminal emulation program or a dumb terminal) to either MPU Module per Chapter 4.
Verify proper operation of each Service Module by attaching an appropriate Bit Error Rate Test Set
(BERTS) signal to each input and measuring the corresponding output signal. As a minimum, the
following functions/alarms should be checked via the User Interface Device:
• Error-free performance under normal conditions

• Loss of the incoming signal
• Loss of Framing on the incoming signal
• Errored Second performance for degraded incoming signal
Utilizing the User Interface Device, invoke each available loopback command on each Service Module
and verify the appropriate response on the BERTS. Return all cables to their normal connections and
restore all diagnostic parameters to their normal conditions.

3 MODULE OPERATION
This section provides information on the operation, installation, replacement, and diagnostic features of
the TransAccess 200 service modules.
3.1 Microprocessor Unit (MPU)
The MPU Module manages communications, stores configuration data, and monitors performance of an
TransAccess 200 node.
3.1.1 Theory of Operation
The MPU module is responsible for configuration, diagnostics, and alarming (local and remote) of the
service modules. An 8-bit address bus and 8-bit data bus are distributed across the backplane to control
the I/O ports on all Service Modules. Alarm Interrupt lines from each card slot are delivered back to the
MPU module.
The MPU module provides an interface through the front panel for connection to a terminal used for
configuration, diagnostics, or alarm retrieval. Form C alarm contacts for Visual/Audible Major/Minor are
provided on the backplane for connection to a central office alarm panel. A tri-color LED is provided on
the faceplate to indicate the status of the MPU.
The main communications tasks performed by the MPU Module include:

• Downloading configuration, provisioning, and diagnostic commands from the terminal
interface (User Interface Device) to all modules.
• Collecting performance statistics and alarm status from service modules for transmission to
the terminal interface or remote management station.
The MPU Module stores configuration data, status, and alarm information for all modules.
The MPU Module monitors overall system status and performance. Additionally, the MPU Module
signals alarm conditions to the local office alarms (if connected) and reports those alarms through the
terminal interface or remote management station.
Physical features on the front panel of the MPU Module include the User System Interface (USI)
connector for connection to the User Interface Device; an LED indicator for displaying module status; a
switch for initiating LED indicator test (LAMPTEST), alarm cut-off (ACO) and an MPU reset function.
When depressing the faceplate push-button for less than 3 seconds will initiate the LAMPTEST feature
(momentarily turning all status LEDs yellow). Depressing the push-button for 3 to 10 seconds activates
the ACO. Depressing the push-button for more than 10 seconds resets the MPU.
The failure or removal of a non-redundant MPU Module suspends all of the above functions, but does not
affect traffic flow through the system. The Form C alarm contacts will return to their non-energized
position. The Major Visual alarm relay is energized in the non-alarmed state and will thus generate a
contact closure across the common and normally closed contacts when a non-redundant MPU module
fails or is unplugged and the relay becomes unenergized. If a redundant MPU module is equipped, it will
hold the Major Visual alarm relay energized if no Major alarm condition is present.
NOTE: Failure of both MPU modules does not affect the functionality of a programmed service
modules as long as power is maintained on the TransAccess 200 system. Only alarm
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 3-1
reporting, redundancy switching, and local/remote communications are unavailable if
both MPUs have failed or are missing.
3.1.2 MPU Auxiliary Board

The areas enclosed in dotted lines in the above block diagram identify sections of the MPU located on the
auxiliary daughter board that plugs into the MPU. The AUX board contains the 10Base-T Ethernet
interface circuitry, an RS422 interface, additional RAM expansion, and additional flash memory for
expanded program code and FPGA code storage.
The functions of the auxiliary board have now been incorporated into a single MPU printed circuit board
module. MPUs with the auxiliary board can be interchanged and mixed with this new MPU module.
3.1.3 Installation/Replacement
PRECAUTION: MODULES USED IN THIS EQUIPMENT CONTAIN ELECTRONIC
COMPONENTS THAT MAY BE DAMAGED BY STATIC ELECTRICITY.
WHEN HANDLING MODULES, USE A STATIC-DISSIPATIVE KIT AND
TOUCH ONLY THE FRONT PANEL OR SIDE EDGES. AVOID TOUCHING
THE REAR EDGE CONNECTORS, SOLDER CONNECTIONS,
The Service Modules must be installed with the Redundancy Service Modules (RIM). The RIM must be
initially installed with the service module in order for the MPU to program the service module.
1. Locate the slot position for the module.

2. Install the service module as follows:
B. Press firmly on the faceplate and handle to lock module into place.
3.1.4 Diagnostics/Troubleshooting
The troubleshooting procedure assumes the TransAccess 200 System was operating normally before a
malfunction occurred. The particular malfunction can be isolated using front panel indicators and
diagnostic tests. Follow the troubleshooting steps listed below in the order given to locate and correct
network failures. Before troubleshooting, ensure:
• Power is applied to TransAccess 200 and to all peripheral equipment.

• All cables are correctly and securely connected.
NOTE: Node and module level diagnostics are available through the User Interface Device at
the front of the MPU module, or through Telnet/SNMP via the Ethernet port. Some
procedures described below require access from the User Interface Device, Telnet, or
SNMP. Refer to Chapter 4 for more information.
If a malfunction occurs immediately after installing new equipment or replacing equipment at an

TransAccess 200 node, do the following:
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 3-2
1. Check configuration: Refer to Chapter 4 (Configuration) to verify that parameter selections
are correct.
2. Identify alarm: Determine the nature of the alarm. Observe the alarm indicators on the
MPU and the Service Modules. Upload the alarm status to the User Interface Device (if
available) to quickly pinpoint the failure.
3. Loss of Communication: If communication is lost to the MPU module from the User
Interface Device, first verify that the cable is operational and connected securely to the
terminal and MPU module. If communication does not return, unplug the on-line MPU
module. This will cause the protection MPU module to go on-line. Plug the User Interface
Device into the remaining MPU and verify that communication has been restored.
3.2 T3/STS-1 to T1 Programmable Multiplexer Module (PM13/PM13+)

Two versions of the PM13 are available. The standard version supports either T3 or STS-1
programmable interfaces towards the line. A second version, called the M13-T3, provides only T3
operation towards the line. The M13-T3 only module supports all the features except those related to
VT1.5 and STS-1 operation.
The PM13 module frames up to either a single T3 or STS-1 signal and demultiplexes it into 28 T1
signals. When configured for STS-1 operation, the STS-1 and VT1.5 path is terminated and monitored
for alarm and bit errors prior to demultiplexing the 28 T1 signals from the VT1.5 tributaries. When
configured for T3 operation, the PM13 module automatically detects M13 or C-bit parity T3 framing.
The PM13 monitors input alarms at the T3 and T2 levels and demultiplexes the T2's into 28 T1 signals.
In the reverse direction, when configured for STS-1 operation, the 28 T1 signals are mapped into VT1.5
tributaries that are multiplexed into the STS-1 Synchronous Payload Envelope (SPE) per the SONET
standard in GR-253-CORE. When configured for T3 operation, the 28 T1 signals are multiplexed into
T2’s and then T3. The T3 output conforms to the standard DSX-3 levels.
The T3/STS-1 port supports Loop Timing and Local Timing. Using Loop Timing, the recovered T3 or
STS-1 clock generates the outgoing T3 or STS-1 timing. Using Local Timing, a local oscillator (accurate
to +/- 20 ppm) generates the outgoing timing.
The PM13 module provides the capability to monitor any T1 passing through the module. The monitored
T1 signal is brought out though a Bantum Jack through the faceplate of the PM13 module. T1’s from any
of the drop ports or T1’s demultiplexed from the incoming T3/STS-1 port can be monitored. Other test
capabilities include the ability to generated and monitor T1 test patterns to/from any T1 tributary and the
ability to monitor the T1 framing of any incoming T1 from the drop ports.
The PM13 module does not cross-connect or groom the T1 or VT1.5 signals with other modules.
However, when configure for STS-1 operation, two forms of T1 to VT1.5 mapping are selectable,
Interleaved and Transparent. Refer to Tables 4-1 and 4-2 for the mapping assignments.
3.2.1.1 Status Indicator

The MPU Module controls the PM13 module configuration parameters and diagnostic features. A tri-
color Status LED is provided on the faceplate to reflect the status of the module. The MPU module
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 3-3
controls the Status LED on the PM13 Module. Table 3-1 describes the alarms and status for each color
of the Status LED.
3.2.2 Installing DS3/STS-1 and T1 Cables
DS3/STS-1 lines require 734A coaxial or equivalent cable with BNC connectors or adapters. These
cables connect to the BNC connectors on the Redundancy Interface Modules located at the rear of the
shelf. The T1 interface requires an adapter cable to convert from the 68-pin connector on the RIMs to a
standard 64-pin CHAMP connector.
1. Plug BNC cables into DS3/STS-1 LINE IN and DS3/STS-1 LINE OUT BNC connectors,
and 68-pin cables to the T1 LINE IN and T1 LINE OUT connectors on PM13 Redundancy
Interface Module. These are located at the rear of the shelf.
2. Use cable ties, as necessary, to secure cables.

3.2.3 Replacing PM13 Modules
Before replacing any module or other equipment suspected of failure, isolate the malfunction using
procedures from the troubleshooting section, or using the diagnostic procedures.
If the malfunction is isolated to the communication line or equipment other than the TransAccess 200
System, proceed as follows:
• Perform BERT tests on any questionable facilities to verify their proper operation.
• Take appropriate action to repair or replace faulty equipment other than the TransAccess 200
System.
If the malfunction is isolated to TransAccess 200 equipment, proceed as follows:
• Replace the defective component as described in the appropriate procedure. Do not attempt to
repair modules.
• In a redundant configuration, replace failed modules as soon as possible to ensure maximum
system availability.
All TransAccess 200 System modules may be replaced in an operating TransAccess 200 node without
turning off power.

• T3/STS-1 Input Alarm (LOS/OOF/LOP/SLM)

• T2/VT1.5 Input Alarm (LOF, LOP, SLM)
• Board Alarm (board not programmable, internal clock failure)
OTE: Protection switching may not occur if both the primary and redundant modules report the
same alarm. Usually, these cases indicate an input line failure.

TransAccess 200 node, check the configuration. Refer to Chapter 4 (PM13 Configuration) to verify that
parameter selections are correct.
The troubleshooting procedure is summarized below:
1. Identify alarm: Determine the nature of the alarm. Observe the system alarm indicators on
the MPU Module and the STAT indicator on all modules. Use the User Interface Device
diagnostics (if available) to quickly pinpoint the failure.
2. Analyze data flow: If service is degraded or has been interrupted but no system alarm has
been asserted, determine how the malfunction is affecting data flow in the network by
examining the PM13 bit error counters.
3. Perform loopbacks and non-intrusive tests: Perform channel and/or line loopbacks and
non-intrusive channel tests to isolate problem locations. Channel and line loopbacks are
intrusive tests that disrupt traffic on the channel or line being tested.
4. Initiate module protection switching: After identifying the suspect TransAccess 200 node,
initiate protection switching for suspected service modules.
The following paragraphs describe each step in the troubleshooting procedure in detail. Some steps
include diagnostic test procedures.
3.2.4.1 Step 1. Identify Alarm
TransAccess 200 node, T3/STS-1 channel and T1 channel alarm events are indicated by a LED indicator
on the front panels of the modules installed in the node. System alarms are also reported by local office
alarm systems connected to the TransAccess 200 and by messages displayed on the User Interface
Device. Alarms reported by the local office alarm system are silenced using the ACO button on the MPU
Module.
Note: To activate the Alarm Cut-Off feature, the ACO/LAMPTEST button should be depressed for at least
2 seconds (the MPU LED will turn yellow when 2 seconds have passed). Depressing the button for less
than 2 seconds will perform the LAMPTEST function, which illuminates all the LEDs in the TransAccess
200. If the ACO/LAMPTEST button continues to be depressed for 10 seconds, the MPU LED will begin
to blink red. Once it blinks 3 times, the MPU will reset after the ACO/LAMPTEST button is released.
After identifying an alarm, refer to Table 3-1 for descriptions of possible alarm causes. Then perform the
corrective action shown. When multiple alarms occur simultaneously, troubleshoot one alarm at a time.
3.2.4.2 Step 2. Analyze Data Flow
If problems occur that aren't indicated by system alarms, begin the troubleshooting process by analyzing
data flow. Analyze reports from communication systems manager, maintenance personnel, or user to
isolate the problem to one of the following:
• No or faulty data flow on a T1 facility path indicates possible PM13 module failure,
T3/STS-1 facility problem, or T1 facility problem. If the redundant module reports the same
problem, the problem is likely with the facility. If only one module reports the input alarm,
then that module likely has a failure. Use the diagnostic features to check signal quality at
each service module in the path. If necessary use loopback tests to isolate cause of failure.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 3-7
• No or faulty data flow on all T1 and T3/STS-1 facilities to a node indicates loss of power
or faulty electrical service. If the redundant module reports the same problem, the problem is
with the facility. If only one module reports the input alarm, then that module has a failure.
3.2.4.3 Step 3. Perform Loopbacks and Non-intrusive Tests

An apparent failure of a T3/STS-1 or T1 connection can be caused by malfunctioning equipment at either
end of the channel path. Before performing channel loopbacks or non-intrusive tests, verify that the
equipment at both ends is operating properly.
When sufficient information is available to localize a problem to a particular T3/STS-1 or T1 connection,

non-intrusive tests and loopback tests performed in a logical sequence help isolate the problem.
Non-intrusive tests allow testing of signals without disrupting data transmission. In any troubleshooting
sequence, non-intrusive tests should be performed first to allow gathering of information without
interrupting other traffic.
Each loopback tests a section of the channel path, allowing the point of failure to be isolated to a specific
portion of the channel path or to a piece of equipment. In a loopback test, a transmit line is connected to a
receive line at some point within the path under test. Test data is transmitted through the loop by external
test equipment. If the test data is received correctly, assume the looped section of the path is operating
properly.
PRECAUTION: BEFORE INITIATING LOOPBACK TESTS, NOTIFY ALL AFFECTED

USERS THAT CHANNELS ARE BEING TAKEN OFFLINE AND
THAT DATA OR VOICE CONNECTIONS WILL BE LOST.
The non-intrusive T3/STS-1 or T1 signal test is able to test a T3/STS-1 or T1 signal using a T3/STS-1 or
T1 patch panel, if equipped, as shown in Figure 3-5. Simply connect a DS3/STS-1 or T1 signal to the
monitor connector of the jackpanel to measure the incoming or outgoing signal to the TransAccess 200.
Loopback tests (shown in Figure 3-2) to diagnose network failures include:
• T3/STS-1 Line Loopback

• T1 loopback towards T3/STS-1
• T1 Line Loopback (towards T1 drop port)
T1 test generation and detection is described in 4.5.2.10.2.

The PM13E module frames up to either a single T3, STS-1, or AU3 signal and demultiplexes it into 21
E1 signals. When configured for STS-1 operation, the STS-1 and VT2 path is terminated and monitored
for alarm and bit errors prior to demultiplexing the 21 E1 signals from the VT2 tributaries. When
configured for T3 operation, the PM13E module automatically detects M13 or C-bit parity T3 framing.
The PM13E monitors input alarms at the T3 and G.747 levels and demultiplexes the G.747 signals into 21
E1 signals. When configured for AU3 operation, the AU3 and VC-12 path is terminated and monitored
for alarm and bit errors prior to demultiplexing the 21 E1 signals.
In the reverse direction, when configured for STS-1 operation, the 21 E1 signals are mapped into VT2
tributaries that are multiplexed into the STS-1 Synchronous Payload Envelope (SPE) per the SONET
standard in GR-253-CORE. When configured for T3 operation, the 21 E1 signals are multiplexed into a
G.747 format and then T3. The T3 output conforms to the standard DSX-3 levels and supports both
standard M13 and C-Par framing. When configured for AU3 operation, the 21 E1 signals are mapped
into the VC-12/TUG-2 format before being multiplexed to AU3. The AU3 signal conforms to the same
electrical standards as STS-1.
The T3/STS-1/AU3 port supports Loop Timing and Local Timing. Using Loop Timing, the recovered
T3, STS-1, or AU3 clock generates the outgoing T3, STS-1, or AU3 timing. Using Local Timing, a local
oscillator (accurate to +/- 20 ppm) generates the outgoing timing.

any E1 tributary and the ability to monitor the E1 framing of any incoming E1 from the drop ports.
The PM13E module does not cross-connect or groom the E1 or VT/VC signals with other modules.
However, when configure for STS-1 or AU3 operation, two forms of E1 to VT/VC mapping are
selectable, Interleaved and Transparent. Refer to Table 4-1 and Table 4-2 for the mapping assignments.
The MPU Module controls the PM13E module configuration parameters and diagnostic features. A tri-

at each service module in the path. If necessary use loopback tests to isolate cause of failure.
• No or faulty data flow on all E1 and T3/STS-1/AU3 facilities to a node indicates loss of

a failure.

An apparent failure of a T3/STS-1/AU3 or E1 connection can be caused by malfunctioning equipment at
either end of the channel path. Before performing channel loopbacks or non-intrusive tests, verify that the
equipment at both ends is operating properly.

3.5 OC-3/STM-1 to STS-1/T3/AU3 Service Module (OMX3)

This section describes the operation of the OMX3 module. The OMXT3 module has the same
functionality of the OMX3 except that it can only be configured to drop T3 from either OC-3 or STM-1.
The OMX3 module multiplexes/de-multiplexes three T3, STS-1, or AU3 signals from an OC-3 or STM-1
optical interface. The user must choose between T3, STS-1, or AU3 for each of the three drop interfaces.
When the OMX3 module is configured for OC-3, the drop ports can be configured for either T3 or STS-1.
When configured for STM-1, the drop ports can be configured for T3 or AU3.
The OMX3 module provides T3/STS-1/AU3 alarm detection. For the T3/STS-1/AU3 drop ports, the
OMX3 detects bipolar violations, LOS, OOF, and AIS for each of the incoming T3/STS-1/AU3 signals
via a microprocessor interface. For the OC-3/STM-1 line, LOS, LOF, AIS, RDI, SLM, and section, line,
and path code violations.
The OMX3 module supports Loop Timing, Local Timing, Through Timing, or External Timing. Using
Loop Timing, the recovered OC-3/STM-1 clock generates the outgoing OC-3/STM-1 timing. Using
Local Timing, a local oscillator (accurate to +/- 20 ppm) generates the outgoing timing. Through Timing
is used in add/drop applications in which case the outgoing OC-3/STM-1 clock is generated from the
receive OC-3/STM-1 from the adjacent OMX3 module. An external clock can be connected to a
backplane terminal block. This 64KHz composite clock can be used to time the outgoing OC-3/STM-1
signal.
NOTE: Older backplanes will require an small adapter card to be installed between the input
clock terminal block and the clock cable entering the shelf. Screw down the two pins of the clock
adapter module into the clock inputs of the terminal block and then connect the clock cable to the
adapter module.
The OMX3 module can be configured to work in both add/drop ring applications as well as in terminal
applications, that is, those applications that terminate all 84 T1 signals at the node.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 3-17
The MPU Module controls the OMX3 module configuration parameters and diagnostic features. A tri-
color Status LED is provided on the faceplate to reflect the status of the module and an amber LED to
indicate the transmit laser is enabled. The MPU module controls the Status LED and 'Laser On' LED on
the OMX3 Module. Table 3-3 describes the alarms and status for each color of the Status LED.
3.5.2 Installing DS3/STS-1 and OC-3 Optical Cables
T3/STS-1/AU3 lines require 734A coaxial or equivalent cable with BNC connectors or adapters.
However, due to mechanical limitations, SMA connectors are provided out the rear of the OMX3 RIM.
Therefore, cable adapters are used to convert from SMA to BNC for connection to PM13E modules (if
terminating T1 signals) or for connection to other T3/STS-1/AU3 equipment. Optionally, when the
OMX3 IN and OUT RIMs are used, a Turin Networks BNC Connector Panel can be used to manage the
T3/STS-1/AU3 cable routing.
1. Plug SMA-to-BNC cables into T3/STS-1/AU3 LINE IN and T3/STS-1/AU3 LINE OUT
SMA connectors. These are located at the rear of the shelf, see Figure 3-7. The optical ‘LC’
type single-mode cables are connected at the front faceplate of the OMX3 module, see
Figure 3-8.

Alarms reported by the local office alarm system are silenced using the ACO button on the MPU Module.
Note: To activate the Alarm Cut-Off feature, the ACO/LAMPTEST button should be depressed for at
least 2 seconds (the MPU LED will turn yellow when 2 seconds have passed). Depressing the

The diagrams above are repeated 3 times for each T3/STS-1 signal. The relay for the outgoing T3/STS-1
signal is controlled by the MPU module through latches on the redundant OMX3 module. If the
redundant module is removed, the relay contacts will connect the T3/STS-1 signal to the primary OMX3
module. The primary and secondary OC-3 optical signals are driven directly out the front of the primary
and secondary OMX3 modules.
3.6.2 Theory of Operation – Terminal RIM

The OMX3 Terminal RIM can be used in applications where all 84 T1’s are to be dropped and inserted
from an OC-3. The Terminal RIM interconnects 8 slots of the TransAccess 200 and is configured so that
a pair of redundant OMX3 modules and up to 3 pairs of redundant PM13 modules can be interconnected
with either T3 or STS-1 signals. The benefit of the OMX3 Terminal RIM is to eliminate the need for
external coax cables to interconnect the OMX3 T3/STS-1 drop ports with the PM13 modules.
When implementing the Terminal RIM solution, there is also a 1x1 IN and OUT RIM to mate with the
PM13 modules. These RIMs are different in nature to the standard PM13 1x1 RIM described in section
3.5.1 as they do not have the T1 transformers mounted on them nor the T3/STS-1 BNC connector.
Rather, the T1 transformers have been moved to the OMX3 Terminal RIM and as mentioned, the
T3/STS-1 signals pass through the TRML RIM from PM13 to OMX3. The Terminal (TRML) IN and
OUT RIMs provide the connectors to interface the receive and transmit T1 signals from the PM13
modules.

4.3.2 Establishing a Remote Connection via a Modem
The following procedure may be used to establish remote communications via customer-supplied
modems between a PC running the Windows 95 or Windows 98 operating system with the Hyper
Terminal application previously installed, and the TransAccess 200.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 4-2
It is assumed that the user has previously installed a modem in the PC and that it is connected to a dial-up
telephone circuit. It is further assumed that a separate stand-alone modem has been configured at the
TransAccess 200 location as follows:
Automatic Answer Mode [ATS0=0]

Carrier Detect (DCD) always on [AT&C0]
Data Terminal Ready (DTR) ignored by modem [AT&D0]
Request to Send (RTS) ignored by modem [AT&R1]
Data Set Ready (DSR) always on [AT&S0]
Return Results Code off [ATQ0]
Using a directly connected PC or terminal, the TransAccess 200 MPU must first be set to operate at the
same speed as the modem that it will be connected to:
Select MPU from the main menu screen
From the drop-down menu, select Configuration
Select the baud rate of the modem
Press Esc to return to the top-level menu. This prevents the TransAccess 200 MPU Module
from initially streaming data back to the modem when it is connected (this prevents the
MPU Module from accidentally hanging up the modem immediately after it answers).
Disconnect the local User Interface Device from the MPU Module and connect the
modem to the MPU Module.
The connection between the modem and the front panel USI jack on the MPU Module should be made
with the Oasys-supplied cable (815-00055-XXX). This cable is equivalent to the 815-00011-XXX cable
plus a "null modem". If the TransAccess 200 is equipped with redundant MPUs, the cable may be
connected to either MPU Module.
Turn on the PC and wait for the Windows operating system to boot up.
The conventions used in section 4.3.1 above apply to detailed procedures below:

4.3.3 Connect the TransAccess 200 to the Network
If the TransAccess 200 is to be managed remotely, connect a Customer-provided standard Category 5
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable terminated with a modular connector to the RJ45 jack located near
the rear of left side of the TransAccess 200 shelf. The other end of this cable should be connected to a
10Base-T Ethernet access point on the Internet Protocol (IP) network used by the SNMP, TL1, Telnet, or
Web Browser platforms. Refer to Chapter 6 on how to configure the Ethernet port.
4.4 Backup and Restore TransAccess 200 Database
The current MPU configuration data can be stored remotely and later used to restore a system during a
disaster recovery scenario. Three means of backup and restore are available: via Telnet (TFTP), via Web
Browser, or via the Craft Port (using transmit and send from a VT100 terminal).

4.6.1.2 Passwords and System Security

The TransAccess 200 utilizes a password login system for security. If enabled, operators may only access
the system using a pre-established password.
Typically, the system administrator may assign the same password to several operators. In doing so, he
assigns to the operators a common “user access level.” Every item within the TransAccess 200 menu has
associated with it its own “required access level.” An operator holding the same or greater access level
can only access these items. If the operator does not have sufficient user access for a menu item, the
menu will response with access denied. For instance an operator with access level 3 can invoke menu
items having required access levels 1, 2 or 3. But an operator with access level 1 can only invoke level 1
menu items. Level 4 operators have unrestricted access to all menu items.
To view the current password level, select Passwords and Show current level from the System menu as
shown in Figure 4-7.
Use of the password system is optional, and enabling and disabling passwords is a configurable
parameter. If the password system is disabled, then the operator is not prompted for a login password at
system startup, and all system configuration options are available to him or her.
TransAccess 200 comes factory-configured with a single password: admin, having level 4 access rights.
The password can and should be changed, but the password level must remain level 4 (the highest user
level) and cannot be deleted or changed to a different level.
A redundant MPU inserted next to an on-line MPU assumes all the passwords and the current system
level of the on-line MPU.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 4-9
Figure 4-7: System Menu - Passwords
WARNING: Turin Networks strongly suggests that the system administrator change the factory default
password (admin) immediately upon system start-up. Leaving the default ‘admin’
password in place can be the source of a security risk.
Password Limits
• Number of user passwords: 15

• Legal characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9 (password characters are case sensitive)
• Password length: 1 to 12 characters.
• Access levels: 1 (lowest) to 4 (highest)
Four security levels are built into the UID as shown below. Security levels are cumulative, that is each
higher level includes all levels below it.
1. LEVEL 1 – Passive viewing only of module information, configuration, alarm, and

performance screens.
2. LEVEL 2 – Intrusive diagnostic commands such as loopbacks, forced protection switching,
T1 tests. Does not include the authority to change any configuration settings that are retained
in non-volatile memory.
3. LEVEL 3 – Software download, MPU and Service Module configuration, default template
editing, discovery.
4. LEVEL 4 – Password and level assignment administration.
The UID is programmed initially with a factory default level 4 password. The user with level 4 access
will have the ability to add, delete, or change passwords at their convenience. A password can be
assigned to each user along with the access level for that user. Each password must be different from the
rest. It will be the responsibility of the level 4 user to assign and document each password.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 4-10
If it’s decided that passwords are not necessary, the level 4 user may disable all passwords. When
disabled, subsequent password entry prompts will not be displayed at start-up. In this case, all users are
level 4 users.
NOTE: If the level 4 password is lost or forgotten, contact Turin Networks.
Figure 4-8 shows the system menu screen for the Administrator selection. Only users who login at level
4 have access to his menu.
Figure 4-8: Password Administrator Menu
Selecting (1) Redisplay Passwords from the System Menu refreshes the password assignments created by
the Level 4 user.
Selecting (2) Add a Password, allows new passwords to be made. Enter the password number (1 to 15) to
add a new password to the list. Up to 15 passwords can be stored at a time. One user with Level 4 access
can assign or modify passwords. However, the security level for password #1 can only be level 4 and
cannot be edited.
Selecting (3) Modify Password, allows password names to be changed.
Selecting (4) Delete a Password will prompt you to enter the ID number (2-15) for the password you want
to delete.
Selecting (5) Disable Passwords cancels the login prompt at the start of a session.
Disabling all passwords will disable the login prompt at start-up. Therefore, anyone connecting to the
TransAccess 200 will be given Level 4 security access. However, none of the defined login names will
be deleted from the password list.
TA-200 OP

4.6.1.5 Logout
This feature serves dual purposes: First, if password security is enabled, logout will exit the currently
logged privilege level. The second purpose is to place the MPU module into ‘Auto-baud’ mode. Once
you enter ‘Y’ at the logout prompt you can disconnect the UID from the MPU module. When another
user connects their UID to the MPU, the MPU will wait for two RETURN key entries and will then allow
the new user to login, or will go directly to the top-level menu if password security is disabled.
If the user does not logout, the MPU will remain at its current baud rate setting. Any users connecting to
the MPU will need to set their UID to the same baud rate. If the MPU baud rate is not known, the MPUs
must be reset to return to auto baud mode.
4.6.1.6 Discover
This feature commands the MPU module to discover all the modules in the shelf. Those modules that had
been previously unconfigured will be downloaded with their default configuration. Any physically

Common Alarms:
LOS – Loss of Signal indicates that the incoming T3 or STS-1 signal is missing. When this event is
declared, T1 AIS will be transmitted out all 28 T1 ports.
OOF – Out-of-Frame indicates that the incoming T3 or STS-1 framing is not detected. When this event is
declared, T1 AIS will be transmitted out all 28 T1 ports.
AIS – The Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) indicates that a T3 or STS-1 failure (AIS – bits 5 and 6 of the
H1 byte) has occurred upstream from the TransAccess 200. When this event is detected, T1 AIS will be
transmitted out all 28 T1 ports.
NO OUT – This alarm indicates that the outgoing T3 or STS-1 signal has failed.
T3 Operation Alarms:
To view the details of these T3 alarms, move the cursor over the field and hit [Enter]. The T3 Alarm
Details window in Figure 4-19 will appear.
T2 OOF – T2 Out-of-Frame indicates that at least one of the T2 tributaries within the incoming T3 signal
has lost its frame pattern. When this event is detected, the T1 signals associated with the failed T2
tributaries will have T1 AIS (all 1’s) inserted into the VT1.5 tributaries within the outgoing STS-1 signal.
T3X BIT – The received T3 X-bit is used to identify a T3 far-end alarm. When the alarm is detected, the
T3 transmit path to the far-end equipment has failed.
T2X BIT – The receive T2 X-bit is used to identify a T2 far-end alarm. When the alarm is detected, at
least one of the seven transmit T2 tributaries has failed towards the far-end equipment.
STS-1 Operation Alarms:
LOP – Loss of Pointer indicates that the PM13 module is unable to locate the start of the Synchronous
Payload Envelope (SPE) within the STS-1 signal. When this event is declared, T1 AIS will be inserted
into each of the outgoing T1 tributaries within the outgoing T3 signal.
SLM – A Signal Label Mismatch alarm indicates that there is a mismatch between the signal type
generated by the far-end equipment and the TransAccess 200.
VT ALM – This is a VT1.5 alarm summary indicator. For details on the specific VT1.5 alarm detected,

4.6.2.10 T1 In-band Loopback Configuration

PM13+ and M13-T3 modules have the ability to generate and react to T1 In-band loop-up/loop-down
commands via the 28 T1 drop ports. Each T1 tributary can be enabled, by groups of 7 T1s, to activate
loopbacks towards the drop port. Activation and deactivation patterns can also be programmed for groups
of 7 T1s. If a valid loop-up signal is received for 5 seconds, the incoming T1 signal will be looped back
out the outgoing T1 line. When an in-band loopback command is activated, the activation pattern is sent
down the T1 line for 5.1 seconds. During this period, live T1 traffic on the tributary is disrupted.

OP Mode
This configuration item defines the operation of the OMX3 module. The choices are either Terminal
mode (TERM) or Add/Drop (ADRP). In Terminal mode, all 3 T3/STS-1/AU3 tributaries are dropped
from the OC-3/STM-1 line. OMX3 protection switching is based on the SONET Automatic Protection
Switch (APS) algorithm.
In Add/Drop mode, each tributary can be selected to either pass through the node or dropped from the
OC-3 ring. OMX3 protection switching is based on Unidirectional Path Switched Rings (UPSR).

Protection Switch
This feature provides the ability to enable or disable protection switching for a particular OMX3 module.
Hold-off
The MPU will detect a OMX3 alarm and switch to the redundant module within 50 ms. The hold-off
feature delays OMX3 protection switching after the MPU detects the alarm. Protection switching hold-
off can be programmed for NONE (switch immediately), 50ms, 100ms, 500ms, 1 second, 2 seconds, or 5
seconds.
Timing Mode
• LOOP – If configured for Terminal Mode (TRML), the OC-3/STM-1 clock can be set for
Loop Timing. That is, the Transmit Clock will be timed from the Receive Clock.
• INTERNAL – The Transmit OC-3/STM-1 clock will be timed to the OMX3 Module’s local
oscillator.
• EXTERNAL – The Transmit OC-3/STM-1 clock will be timed from the 64KHz external
composite clock connected at the TransAccess 200 backplane.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 4-73
• THRU – If configured for Add/Drop, the Transmit OC-3/STM-1 clock can be timed from the
recovered clock of the adjacent OMX3 module.
• Dn – Timing of the Transmit OC-3/STM-1 clock can be derived from any of the Incoming
Drop Ports (1-3) only if they are configured for STS-1/AU3.
• SRC – Source Timing can be configured for one OMX3 card in the TransAccess 200 shelf. It
is used to distribute timing to the other OMX3 modules. It does this by deriving an 8KHz
clock from the incoming OC-3/STM-1 recovered clock and placing the 8KHz clock on the
external clock bus on the backplane. Select External Clock for the other OMX3 modules
that need to be timed to this clock. Only one OMX3 module can be configured for SRC
timing at a time.
NOTE: IF SRC TIMING IS SELECTED ON ANY OMX3 SERVICE MODULE, BE SURE TO

DISCONNECT THE EXTERNAL CLOCK FROM THE BACKPLANE AS BOTH SRC
AND EXTERNAL CLOCKS USE THE SAME CLOCK BUS. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL
CAUSE THE SRC AND EXTERNAL CLOCKS TO COLLIDE WITH EACH OTHER.
Drop Signal
Each drop port can be configured for either T3, STS-1 (STS), AU3, Bypass (BP), or Disable (DIS). STS-
1 can only be selected if the OMX3 is configured for OC-3. AU3 can only be selected if the OMX3 is
configured for STM-1. Bypass (BP) can only be selected when configured for ADRP operation. If the
OMXT3 module is installed, only T3, Bypass (BP), or Disable (DIS) can be selected.
LBO
Each drop port can be configured independently.
• I (LBO In)– Outgoing T3/STS-1 Line Build Out selection for cable lengths less than or equal
to 225 feet.
• O (LBO Out)– Outgoing T3/STS-1 Line Build Out selection for cable lengths greater than to

4.6.6.1 Configuration
The MPU has five configuration options; setting the baud rate of the Terminal Port, setting the time,
setting the date, setting the System Name, and Enable/Disable of the External Power Alarm. The time
and date settings are used by the MPU to time-stamp the alarm traps sent out via SNMP.
4.6.6.1.1 Setting the Baud Rate

The default baud rate setting is Auto baud (recommended). However, the baud rate can be adjusted from
the Terminal Device so that it can be attached to standard modem lines. The baud rate selections are:
1200 baud
2400 baud
4800 baud
9600 baud
19.2K baud
38.4K baud
57.6K baud
115.2K baud
Auto baud
The baud rate configuration is used to set the speed of the serial port (craft port) at the front of the MPU
modules. Press the [SPACE] bar to toggle between the baud rate selections. Press ^S and [Enter] to save
and download the change. Use the Auto Baud option whenever possible as this allows the MPU to

automatically sync up to the serial input. When you are finished communicating to the TransAccess 200,
use the Logout command under the System Menu. This will place the MPU in ‘Auto Baud’ mode and
allow next user to connect at the same or different baud rate.
4.6.6.1.2 Set Time and Date

To set the time and date, simply enter the current time and date.
4.6.6.1.3 Set System Description

The System Description can be used to identify each TransAccess 200 system in the network. A name
can be assigned to each system and displayed in the upper right hand corner of most of the management
screens. Simply enter the character string you wish and press [ENTER]. The MPU must be reset to
activate the new System Description setting.
4.6.6.1.4 Enable/Disable External Power Alarm

If the MPU modules have been installed with External Power Sense circuitry, the Mini-Mux 155 can
detect a loss of the –48VDC or +24VDC on the Battery A or Battery B feeds. The software will
automatically detect whether the External Power Sense circuit is equipped. If equipped, the menu will
allow you to enable or disable the detection of each power feed.
4.6.6.2 Setting the Ethernet Port IP Address

Section 5.1 gives instructions on how to set the Ethernet Port IP Address.
4.6.6.3 Configuration for TL1

Section 6.3.1 gives instructions on how to configure the TransAccess 200 for TL1 operation.

The alarm summary screen shows the status summary of the on-line and off-line MPU modules. The
screen is shown in Figure 4-68. The MPU alarm summary shows the MPU status for the left and right
modules. Major and Minor alarms for the MPU indicate the level of alarm for the MPU. A Major alarm
will be declared if the MPU FPGA is not programmed. Minor Alarms will be generated for MPU internal
clock or circuitry failure. If the failure is protected by the redundant MPU (if equipped) the alarm will be
Minor. If not protected, the alarm will be Major. The MPU failures reported will be either for the
Watch-dog Timer (WDT), the Real Time Clock (RTC), or the Communications to the redundant MPU
(Comm). The STATUS indication will show whether the MPU is On-line, Off-line, Missing (if the
redundant module is configured but unplugged), or Empty (if the redundant MPU is not configured).

5 REMOTE NETWORK MANAGEMENT CONFIGURATION
SNMP, TL1, Web Browser, and Telnet management capability are TransAccess 200 features that provide
standards-based ways to remotely manage the TransAccess 200 from anywhere on the network. The
TransAccess 200 MPU must be equipped with an Ethernet Auxiliary board to enable SNMP, TL1, Web
Browser, or Telnet functionality. If redundant MPUs are equipped, both must have Ethernet Auxiliary
boards installed. If your TransAccess 200 was not factory-equipped for SNMP or Telnet operation, it
may be upgraded in the field by ordering Ethernet Aux. Board (consult Turin sales or customer service for
part number) for each MPU and install them per the instructions included. If you have an early
TransAccess 200 shelf without an on-board network connector on the backplane, an interface adapter,
(consult Turin sales or customer service for part number), should also be ordered from Turin Networks.
New MPU modules have been developed with the Ethernet circuitry integrated into a single printed
circuit board (consult Turin sales or customer service for part number). If this MPU is equipped, no
additional upgrades are necessary to support SNMP, TL1, Web Browser, or Telnet.
5.1 Connect the TransAccess 200 to the Network
Connect a Customer-provided standard Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable terminated with
a modular connector to the RJ45 jack located near the rear of the left side of the TransAccess 200 shelf.
The other end of this cable should be connected to a 10Base-T Ethernet access point on the Internet
Protocol (IP) network used by the SNMP, TL1, Web Browser, or Telnet Management platform.
5.2 Configuring the TransAccess 200 for SNMP, TL1, Telnet, or Web Browser
Operation
The following information must be available before proceeding.
• IP Address
• IP Network Address Mask
• Default Gateway IP Address
• The Community Name for read-write access, and optionally, the IP address of the SNMP
management station if read-write access is to be limited to a single station. (This parameter is not
required for Telnet or Web Browser operation.)
• The Community Name for read-only access, and optionally, the IP address of the SNMP
management station if read-only access is to be limited to a single station. (This parameter is not

Figure 5-1: MPU Configuration
Figure 5-2: IP/SNMP Port Configuration
The IP/SNMP Configuration screen consists of the following fields:

IP Address
This is the unique Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned by your network administrator for the
TransAccess 200 shelf. This is a mandatory user entry. Each of the 4 parts of the IP address may be
accessed using the ‘Tab’ key.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 5-2
MAC Address
This is an information-only field. It cannot be modified. The Media Access Control (MAC) Address is
an identification number required to uniquely identify each TransAccess 200 MPU/Ethernet Aux. module
on the network.
Net Mask
This is the IP address subnet range mask assigned by your network administrator. The default value is
255.255.255.0. If your network administrator has assigned a different mask value, edit this field to match
that value.
Gateway
This is the IP address of the gateway device, if required, as assigned by your network administrator. The
default value is 0.0.0.0. This field must be changed to a valid IP address if the SNMP management or
Telnet client stations are located on a different subnet than the TransAccess 200.
DCC Parameters
In order to provide interoperability with other vendor’s equipment, the Turin TransAccess 200 supports
remote management over the SONET Section DCC when an OC-3 fiber facility from the other equipment
is connected to an OMX3 service module in the TransAccess 200 shelf.
The Section DCC, which occupies bytes D1, D2, D3 in the overhead of the SONET frame for the first
STS-1, is used to provide a serial 192 Kbps physical layer data communications channel between the two
nodes.
At the data link layer, RFC 1661-compliant Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is used over High-level Data
Link Control (HDLC). The details of the frame format used between the physical and data link layers are
given in RFC 1662 “PPP in HDLC-like Framing”.
Once the optical/electrical connection is established, the first communications between the two nodes is a
sequence of Link Control Protocol (LCP) messages. Turin recommends using the following PPP LCP
options:
• Maximum Receive Unit (MRU) 1524

• No Authentication Protocol
• No Quality Protocol
• No Magic Number
• Frame Check Sequence (FCS): CCITT 32 bit CRC
• No Asynchronous Control Character Map (ACCM)
Once the LCP process is complete and the link successfully established, communications to the network
layer may begin. The standard Network Control Protocol (NCP) and Internet Protocol Control Protocol
(IPCP) are used to configure the network layer to accept Internet Protocol (IP), or Internet Control
Message Control Protocol (ICMP), or Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) messages. Turin recommends
the IPCP configuration include the IP Address of sender.
The TransAccess 200 does not currently support IP routing since it can only be configured as an end
point.
At this point, entry into the transport layer and above depends on which management application is being
used. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2) uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). If a

Telnet session is established, which contains either our VT-100 User Interface or Transaction Language 1
(TL-1) messages, or a Web browser using the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), then Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) is used.
DCC communication is designed to function mainly in point-to-point (terminal) applications but can work
in a ring to an adjacent node. In terminal applications using APS, if an OC-3/STM-1 failure should
occur, the DCC will switch to the redundant path. However, in Add/Drop applications, the DCC will be
disabled if the OC-3 facility to the adjacent node should fail.
Configure the TransAccess 200 system as follows to activate the use of the DCC.
For the Local system (connected to the LAN):

1. Set MODE to LOCAL
2. Set SLOT to the OMX3 primary card slot number
3. Enter [^S] to save the changes. The MPU module will reboot to activate the changes.
For the Remote system:

1. Set MODE to REMOTE (NOTE: This will disable the Ethernet port.)
2. Set SLOT to the OMX3 primary card slot number
3. Enter [^S] to save the changes. The MPU module will reboot to activate the changes.
Communications over the DCC can now begin. Refer to Chapter 7 for SNMP parameter settings.

6.1.1 Telnet Configuration Menu
By selecting Telnet Configuration, three configuration items will be displayed as shown in Figure 6-1.
First, a selection for UI or TL1 will be displayed. Choosing UI will configure the TransAccess 200 to use
the graphical user interface menus during a telnet session and provide access for the use of the
TransAccess 200 Web Browser management interface. If TL1 is selected, the Telnet interface will accept
TL1 command messages and will output automatic TL1 alarms.
The third configuration choice will be to select a timeout period to disconnect a TL1 and Telnet session if
no activity is detected in a certain period of time. The selectable time period is from 0 to 60 minutes. If 0
is selected, no timeout will occur.
After making all selections, enter a 4 to save the changes. The changes will take affect at the next telnet

7 SIMPLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL (SNMP)
SNMP or Telnet management capability is an TransAccess 200 feature that provides standards-based
ways to remotely manage the TransAccess 200 from anywhere on the network. The TransAccess 200
MPU must be equipped with an Ethernet Auxiliary board to enable SNMP or Telnet functionality. If
redundant MPUs are equipped, both must have Ethernet Auxiliary boards installed. If your TransAccess
200 was not factory-equipped for SNMP or Telnet operation, it may be upgraded in the field by ordering
Ethernet Aux. Board, (consult Turin sales or customer service for part number), for each MPU and install
them per the instructions included. If you have an early TransAccess 200 shelf without an on-board
network connector on the backplane, an interface adapter, (consult Turin sales or customer service for
part number), should also be ordered from Turin Networks.
additional upgrades are necessary to support SNMP or Telnet.
7.1 SNMP Management Station
Turin Networks does not supply a SNMP management platform or application. It is assumed that the
Customer has, or will provide, one or more networked computers with standards-compliant SNMP
management application suites installed.
Turin Networks provides three files on the CD-ROM included with the TransAccess 200 equipment that
must be loaded onto the SNMP Management platform in order to recognize and access the TransAccess
200. These files are:
OTI-Ex2-CAP.my Turin Networks, Inc. TransAccess 200 CAPabilities module

OTI-Ex2-MIB.my Turin Networks, Inc. TransAccess 200 Management Information
Base
OTI-SMI.my Turin Networks, Inc. Structure of Management Information
Select IP/SNMP CONFIG from the MPU Configuration menu. The IP address must also be entered if
using TL1 management. The first time this screen is displayed, it will contain default values in each of
the fields as shown below in Figure 7-1.
The SNMP configuration screen allows you to set the configuration information specific to your
TransAccess 200 system installation. The SNMP Configuration operation must be done using the UID
before any access by an SNMP, TL1, Telnet, or Web Browser management station will be possible.
To begin, configure the IP/SNMP port as described in Chapter 5. Then continue to configure the
following parameters, as required, for SNMP operation.
SNMP Parameters
The SNMP Parameters provide a place to define the System Name, Contact, and Location of the
TransAccess 200 system for use with the SNMP management interface. To enter this information, move
the cursor to the appropriate field and type in the information. Hit ENTER to complete the entry.
NOTE: If any of the text in the System Name, Contact, or Location contains spaces, the entire
entry must be enclosed in double quotes. If it is not, only the first word will be preserved when
saved.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 7-1
Figure 7-1: IP/SNMP Port Configuration
Community
The Community Name fields provide the customer with two levels of security against unauthorized
access to the TransAccess 200 by a SNMP management station. The Community Name entry with
“Read” command access should be assigned to any SNMP management stations that are to be allowed
“Get” command access to the TransAccess 200. Any “Set” command attempts by these stations will be
refused. The Community Name entry with “Write” command access should be assigned only to SNMP
management stations that are to be allowed unrestricted “Set” as well as “Get” command access to the
TransAccess 200. (These parameters are not required for Telnet, TL1, or Web Browser operation.)
Note - The Read Community Name and Write Community Name must be different. Only
alpha characters and numbers are allowed in the Community Name and Trap Name fields.
Spaces, punctuation, and other characters are illegal.
If an optional Community IP Address is entered, then only a single SNMP management station with the
correct Community Name and IP Address will be authorized for access to the TransAccess 200 as
determined by the corresponding Access field. If this field is set to 0.0.0.0, which is the default, then any
SNMP management station with the correct Community Name will be authorized for appropriate access.
The Read and Write values in the Access fields may be toggled between Read and Write by pressing the
space bar when the cursor is on them.
Trap
A trap is a message automatically generated by the TransAccess 200 and sent to up to three SNMP
management stations. These messages are sent out whenever an TransAccess 200 alarm is asserted or
cleared. Enter the IP Addresses of the SNMP management stations, if any, to which the traps are to be
sent in the Trap IP Address fields. Unused fields should be set to 0.0.0.0, which are the defaults. If all 3
Trap IP Addresses are set to 0.0.0.0, then no trap messages will be generated. A Trap Name may be
optionally entered for each of the trap recipients to identify the source of the trap. This entry is useful if
more than one network element reports traps to the same SNMP management station. The rules for Trap
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 7-2
Name entries are the same as for Community Names. (These parameters are not required for Telnet, TL1,
or Web Browser operation.)
Authen Traps
An Authentication Trap, if enabled, is a security alert message generated by the TransAccess 200
whenever an unauthorized SNMP command is received. It is sent to the trap recipients, if any, identified
in the Trap fields. An Authentication Trap message is sent in response to a command received with an
incorrect Community Name, or incorrect IP Address, if a specific IP Address was entered, or if a “Set”
command was attempted by a station with only Read access.
Authentication Traps are disabled by default. To change the Authen Trap setting, press the space bar
when the cursor is on it to toggle the value between Disable and Enable. (This setting has no effect on
Telnet, TL1, or Web Browser operation.)
T1/E1 Alarm Traps

T1/E1 alarm traps can be generated two ways. By selecting SUMMARY, a single alarm trap will be
transmitted when single or multiple T1 alarms are detected. By selecting DETAIL, an alarm trap that
includes the slot, tributary, and circuit tag will be sent for each T1 and/or E1 alarm detected.
NOTE: - The MPU must be reset following any changes to the SNMP Configuration for the
new values to become effective.
7.2 Saving IP/SNMP Changes
When all of the IP/SNMP parameters have been entered, press <Control C> to save the information. The
MPU will reboot at this point to activate the changes.
7.3 Charts for UI and SNMP terms comparison

**** 0 means no alarm. To interpret the DS2s in alarm, any number is first converted to binary. For
example, if the output is 64, 01000000, then DS2 # 7 is in alarm. If the output is 15,
00001111, then DS2 # 1, DS2 # 2, DS2 # 3, DS2 # 4 are in alarm and so on.

8 TRANSACTION LANGUAGE 1 (TL1)
TL1 management capability is an TransAccess 200 feature that provides standards-based ways to
remotely manage the TransAccess 200 from anywhere on the network. The TransAccess 200 MPU must
be equipped with an Ethernet Auxiliary board to enable TL1 and Telnet functionality. If redundant MPUs
are equipped, both must have Ethernet Auxiliary boards installed. If your TransAccess 200 was not
factory-equipped for Ethernet, it may be upgraded in the field by ordering Ethernet Aux. Board, (consult
Turin sales or customer service for part number), for each MPU and install them per the instructions
included. If you have an early TransAccess 200 shelf without an on-board network connector on the
backplane, an interface adapter, (consult Turin sales or customer service for part number), should also be
ordered from Turin Networks.
additional upgrades are necessary to support TL1.
8.1 TL1 Management Station
Turin Networks does not supply a TL1 management platform or application. It is assumed that the
Customer has, or will provide, a networked computer with standards-compliant TL1 management
application suites installed. Only one TL1 session can be opened at a time.
8.2 Connect the TransAccess 200 to the Network
Connect a Customer-provided standard Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable terminated with
a modular connector to the RJ45 jack located near the rear of the left side of the TransAccess 200 shelf.
The other end of this cable should be connected to a 10Base-T Ethernet access point on the Internet
Protocol (IP) network used by the TL1 Management platform.
8.3 Configuring the TransAccess 200 for TL1 Operation
The following information must be available before proceeding.
• IP Address
• IP Network Address Mask
• Default Gateway IP Address
• The Community Name for read-write access, and optionally, the IP address of the TL1
management station if read-write access is to be limited to a single station. (This parameter is not
• The Community Name for read-only access, and optionally, the IP address of the TL1
management station if read-only access is to be limited to a single station. (This parameter is not
Connect the User Interface Device (UID) to the TransAccess 200 as described in Chapter 4 and log in as a
level 3 or level 4 user.
Using the UID, select MPU from the top-level menu, and select Configuration from the resulting menu as
shown in Figure 8-1. Select the IP/SNMP Config menu to input the IP address information for the
TransAccess 200 system. The IP address must also be programmed for TL1. Figure 8-2 shows the IP
Configuration Screen.

8.3.1 Telnet Configuration Menu
By selecting Telnet Configuration, three configuration items will be displayed as shown in Figure 8-3.
First, a selection for UI or TL1 will be displayed. Choosing UI will configure the TransAccess 200 to use
the graphical user interface menus during a telnet session and provide access for the use of the
TransAccess 200 Web Browser management interface. If TL1 is selected, the UI Interface via Telnet will
accept TL1 command messages and will display automatic TL1 alarms.
The third configuration choice will be to select a timeout period to disconnect a TL1 or Telnet session if
no activity is detected in a certain period of time. The selectable time period is from 0 to 60 minutes. If 0
is selected, no timeout will occur.
After making all selections, enter a 4 to save and implement the changes. The changes will take affect at
the next Telnet login.
Figure 8-3: SNMP Port Configuration
8.3.2 Disconnect a Telnet Session

In order to prevent logout problems if a user does not disconnect a telnet session when done, a command
will be added to manually disconnect the telnet session from the UID menu. Please refer to Figure 8-4.

8.4 TL1 Command Set
This section describes the commands, responses, and automatic messages for the TL1 interface of the
TransAccess 200.
8.4.1 TL1 FORMAT
This section describes the TL1 command codes for TransAccess 200. The following is a
description of notations, symbols, and conventions used when describing TL1 command
responses or TL1 command formats.
cr indicates a carriage return
lf indicates a line feed
^ indicates a space appearing in the message
[] encloses parameters that are optional
<> encloses parameters that are determined by current events or commands
{} indicates a range of numbers
{|} indicates that one of the parameters within the {} and separated by the pipe |
must be used.
& indicates an ‘and’ function when displaying values (ex. 1&6)
&& indicates a range of values (ex. 1&&6)
8.4.2 General Syntax
Brief descriptions of the syntax for commands and responses are given here. TL1 syntax is described in
detail in Telcordia GR-833-CORE.
8.4.2.1 Command Syntax
All TL1 commands have the following general format:
Verb[-Modifier[-Modifier]]:[Target_ID]:[<aid>]:<ctag>::[Parameter];
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 8-4
The parts of the command shown between square brackets are optional, however some of these options
may be required to successfully complete specific commands.
8.4.2.2 Response Syntax
The general format of a command response is shown below:
<cr><lf><lf> ^^^ <Source_ID> ^ <year-month-day> ^ <hour:minute:second>
<cr><lf>M ^^ <ctag>^COMPLD
<cr><lf>[Text_Block(s)<cr><lf>];
A response without a text block is used to signify that the command was received and executed. The
correlation tag <ctag> matches that of the command. The correlation tag is assigned to the command by
the user when the command is issued. In this way, a command and its associated response can be
correlated. A rejected command will be returned with a DENY and an message that describes why the
command failed.
8.4.2.3 Multiple Output Responses
In the case where the total size of a response exceeds 4096 bytes, the response is partitioned into multiple
responses. These responses have a separate header with the same <ctag>, but all except the last one use
the ‘>’ instead of the ‘;’ terminator.
8.4.3 Error Responses
Error responses have the following format:
<cr><lf><lf> ^^^ <Source_ID> ^ <year-month-day> ^ <hour:minute:second>
<cr><lf>M^^ <ctag> ^ DENY
<cr><lf> ^^^ <ERROR CODE>
(<cr><lf> ^^^ /* <Optional free format error text> */)
<cr><lf>;
For example, when an invalid or unsupported command is received by the TransAccess 200, the
following error response is transmitted:
EXMII-TL1 2002-08-30 14:42:30

M 34 DENY

8.4.4 Parameter Types
8.4.4.1 Correlation Tag

This field is represented by <ctag>. The correlation tag is used to match commands and responses. It is
sent out as part of the command, and the TransAccess 200 returns it as part of the response. The
correlation tag is assigned by the user issuing the command and can be arbitrarily chosen. Each command
issued can be assigned a different correlation tag to prevent confusing commands and responses. The
length of the correlation tag can be up to 6 alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, and 0-9). An invalid
CTAG is responded with DENY and IICT error code.
8.4.4.2 Automatic Message Tag
This field is represented by <atag>. This tag is used to sequence messages from the TransAccess 200
when sending automatic alarm messages. If an out of sequence value of this tag is received by the
operating system, it means that some automatic messages may have been missed. The length of the
automatic message tag is up to 10 digits.
8.4.4.3 Target Identifier and Source Identifier
The Target IDentifier <tid> or Source Identifier <sid> specify the network element to which the
command is sent. The source identifier specifies which network element transmitted the response. The
<tid> can be up to 20 characters and is optional for the TransAccess 200. If TID is specified, it must
match the target ID of the system being addressed. If the TID does not back the system ID, a DENY
response will be returned with an IITA error message.
The examples in this document will be represented by the TransAccess 200 default name ‘EXMII-TL1’.
8.4.4.4 2nd Modifier Types
This parameter specifies the type of entity that the operating system wants to address. Fields of this type
are represented by {MOD2}.

The Access Identifier <aid> format is “<slot#>-<tributary>,MOD2”. TMPER is the timeperiod recorded
in minutes.
MONVAL is the measured value of the monitored parameter. MONVAL will indicate the measured
value over the defined period.
VLDTY (validity) indicates whether the data was for the entire time period or whether just a part of the
time period. COMPLD means that the data was accumulated over the entire requested period. PRTL
means that it was only collected during part of the requested time period. PRTL should be reported if
data for all 96 15-minute intervals has not elapsed when 24-hour totals had been requested.
MONDAT is the start date for the displayed data. MONTM is the start time for the displayed data.

9 WEB-BASED INTERFACE (WBI)
WBI is an TransAccess 200 feature that provides a way to remotely manage the TransAccess 200 from
anywhere on the network.
9.1 Requirements
WBI requires Internet Explorer 4.5 or higher web browser with Java support enabled. Older versions of
this browser may not display the WBI information properly.
The user must set the IP address, Net Mask, and gateway address through the ‘IP/SNMP Config’ screen
on the User Interface (UI), to enable the WBI. The user must refer to section 5.3 for configuring the
TransAccess 200 for Telnet, SNMP or WBI operation.
9.2 WBI Security

The TransAccess 200 system information is protected with a security mechanism. Entering the IP address
of the TransAccess 200 system into the browser pops up a username and password window as shown in
Figure 9.1 below. The username entry may be skipped, but the password entry must match one of the
passwords entered into the TransAccess 200 as described in section 4.5.1.3 to access the system.
Figure 9-1: TransAccess 200 Login Prompt
CAUTION: It is strongly advised that the user close the browser window after the completion of the
session to avoid any unauthorized access to the EXchange Mux system.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 9-1
9.3 WBI Operation
The following section is a description of the screens displayed on the client Web browser. The
functionality of the WBI is similar in operation to the UI, hence it is advised that the user be familiar with
the UI as described in chapter 4. Additional information regarding the details of each screen is also
available in chapter 4.
Following successful login, the TransAccess 200 Diagnostics menu shown in Figure 9-5 will appear.
Click on the menu items in the left-hand column to access the features.
9.3.1 System Alarm Screen
Figure 9-2: System Alarm Summary Screen
The System Alarm screen summarizes the alarm status for the entire shelf. An ‘X’ will be displayed in
the alarm fields whenever an alarm is detected. This screen is automatically updated every 5 seconds.
For details on what alarm is detected, proceed to the alarm summary screen for that particular module.
Alarm status consists of the following information:
1. On-Line/Off-line/Protection Status
2. Minor Alarm/Major Alarm Status
3. Far-end Alarm Status
4. Maintenance Status
5. Nodal Alarm Summary
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 9-2
9.3.2 Summary Information
The System Info screen displays the software revision levels currently stored in the MPU modules. The
software revision levels displayed on this screen reflect what is stored in the MPU but not necessarily
what has been downloaded to the service modules. Check the Module Information screen to view
software levels that the service modules are running with. If a difference is noticed, use the ‘Discover’
command to update the system.
Figure 9-3: System Information Screen
NOTE: If the FPGA software is different between the service module and MPU, a ‘Discover’
command will cause traffic to go down for approximately 5 seconds while the service module is
updated.
9.3.3 Module Information Summary

The Module Info screen allows the user to view the software, firmware, and assembly revision levels of
each of the MPU and Service Modules in the shelf. Software Revision refers to the MPU microprocessor
embedded software. Firmware Revision refers to the programmable gate array firmware. When selecting
this feature, the following table is displayed.

9.3.4 Diagnostics Menu

The selection for Service Module Diagnostics commands is under the initial System menu. The
diagnostic commands available are:
1. Protection Switch
2. Reset
3. Restore
4. Discover
Figure 9-5 shows the menu options for the Service Module Diagnostics selections.

Prior to activating a manual protection switch, the screen will show the current module status for each
slot. A description of the indicators is below.
A – Active, online
O – Offline
M – Missing (configured module not present)
F – Force online
U – Unconfigured slot (but service module is plugged in)
To select a Service Module to protect, move the cursor beneath one of the off-line card slots and ‘click’
on the button on the bottom row. Select the appropriate switch command to enable the protection switch.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 9-4
See below for the available selections. Any combination of the seven protection modules can be on-line
or off-line at the same time.
Figure 9-5: TransAccess 200 General Diagnostic Menu
There are two types of protection switch commands available.
Safe Switch – This will cause the selected module to go on-line. A 50ms ‘hit’ will occur to the T1 traffic
during the switch. Redundancy remains available after a safe on-line protection switch. If an alarm is
active on the selected module, a protection switch may not occur.
Force On-line Switch – This will cause the selected module to go on-line. A 50ms ‘hit’ will occur to the
traffic during the switch. Redundancy is disabled while a force protection switch is active. Therefore,
any failures to the on-line module will not be protected. The status LED will be yellow to indicate that a
maintenance condition is active on the selected module and redundancy is no longer available. However,
if an alarm is detected, the LED will blink red.
Clear Force Online – This will remove the forced condition and enable protection switching for the
service module pair.
9.3.4.2 Reset
This feature forces the MPU module to reprogram the selected module in the shelf. This includes
downloading the current firmware and re-configuring the module with the configuration stored in the
MPU module. Traffic on the selected module will be disrupted for approximately 5 seconds. ‘Click’ on
the radio button under the slot number and ‘click’ on RESET to invoke the reset. RESET ALL will
command the MPU to reprogram all the service modules.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 9-5
9.3.4.3 Reset MPU
This feature will reset the on-line MPU and force an MPU protection switch. An MPU protection switch
will be hitless to any live traffic carried by the service modules.
9.3.4.4 Restore
This selection removes all active diagnostic functions (loopbacks, force protection switches, T1 Testing)
for the selected Service Module. Modules with active diagnostics will have a yellow status LED unless
that module is detecting an alarm. When detecting an alarm, the status LED will be red or flashing red.
9.3.4.5 Discover
This feature commands the MPU module to discover all the modules in the shelf. Those modules that had
been previously unconfigured will be downloaded with their default configuration. Any physically
missing modules will be deleted from the logical installed equipment list. This will not affect the
operation of any of the modules already configured in the shelf.
9.3.5 Backup Configuration File

The current MPU configuration data can be stored remotely and later used to restore a system during a
disaster recovery scenario. Three means of backup and restore are available: via Telnet (TFTP), via Web
Browser, or via the Craft Port (using transmit and send from a VT100 terminal).
To create and store a backup TransAccess 200 configuration file, click on Backup File from the System
Menu. The screen shown in Figure 9-6 will appear.

To download the TransAccess 200 configuration or FPGA Software from a remote file, click on Restore
File from the system menu. The screen shown in Figure 9-7 will appear.
Figure 9-7: TransAccess 200 Configuration Restore
In the Select File Type, select the file to be restored. In the Select File field, enter the path and filename
where the configuration file is currently stored. Click on Restore File to transfer the new configuration
data to the MPU module. Once the configuration file is transferred and verified, the MPU will reboot and
program the service modules with the new configuration. If a FPGA file was downloaded, the MPU must
be reset for the new software file to activate.
9.3.7 Optical Mux Configuration Menu

Figure 9-6 displays the configuration menu of the OMX3 and OMXT3 service module and allows each
configuration item to be modified using the cursor keys.

To change a configuration setting of the default template or to the OMX3 modules, ‘click’ on the card slot
that you wish to change. The screen shown in Figure 9-9 will be displayed.

8/29/03 9-8
OP Mode
This configuration item defines the operation of the OMX3 module. The choices are either Terminal
mode (TERM) or Add/Drop (ADRP). In Terminal mode, all 3 T3/STS-1/AU3 tributaries are dropped
from the OC-3/STM-1 line. OMX3 protection switching is based on the SONET Automatic Protection
Switch (APS) algorithm.
In Add/Drop mode, each tributary can be selected to either pass through the node or dropped from the
OC-3/STM-1 ring. OMX3 protection switching is based on Unidirectional Path Switched Rings (UPSR).
Protection Switch
This feature provides the ability to enable or disable protection switching for a particular OMX3 module.
Hold-off
The MPU will detect an OMX3 alarm and switch to the redundant module within 50 ms. The hold-off
feature delays OMX3 protection switching after the MPU detects the alarm. Protection switching hold-
off can be programmed for NONE (switch immediately), 50ms, 100ms, 500ms, 1 second, 2 seconds, or 5
seconds.
Timing Mode
• LOOP – If configured for Terminal Mode (TRML), the OC-3/STM-1 clock can be set for
Loop Timing. That is, the Transmit Clock will be timed from the Receive Clock.
• INTERNAL – The Transmit OC-3/STM-1 clock will be timed to the OMX3 Module’s local
oscillator which has +/- 20 ppm accuracy.
• EXTERNAL – The Transmit OC-3/STM-1 clock will be timed from the 8KHz external clock
connected at the TransAccess 200 backplane.
• THRU – If configured for Add/Drop, the Transmit OC-3/STM-1 clock can be timed from the
recovered clock of the adjacent OMX3 module.
• Dn – Timing of the Transmit OC-3/STM-1 clock can be derived from any of the Incoming
Drop Ports (1-3) only if they are configured for STS-1/AU3.
• SRC – Source Timing can be configured for one OMX3 card in the TransAccess 200 shelf. It
is used to distribute timing to the other OMX3 modules. It does this by deriving an 8KHz
clock from the incoming OC-3/STM-1 recovered clock and placing the 8KHz clock on the
external clock bus on the backplane. Select External Clock for the other OMX3 modules
that need to be timed to this clock. Only one OMX3 module can be configured for SRC
timing at a time.
NOTE: IF SRC TIMING IS SELECTED ON ANY OMX3 SERVICE MODULE, BE SURE TO

DISCONNECT THE EXTERNAL CLOCK FROM THE BACKPLANE AS BOTH SRC
AND EXTERNAL CLOCKS USE THE SAME CLOCK BUS. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL
CAUSE THE SRC AND EXTERNAL CLOCKS TO COLLIDE WITH EACH OTHER.
Drop Signal
Each drop port can be configured for either T3, STS-1 (STS), AU3, Bypass (BP) or Disable (DIS). AU3
cannot be selected if the OMX3 is configured for OC-3. STS-1 cannot be selected if the OMX3 is
configured for STM-1. Bypass (BP) can only be selected when configured for ADRP operation. If the
OMXT3 module is installed, only T3, Bypass (BP), or Disable (DIS) can be selected.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 9-9
LBO
Each drop port can be configured independently.
• I (LBO In) – Outgoing T3/STS-1/AU3 Line Build Out selection for cable lengths less than or
equal to 225 feet.
• O (LBO Out) – Outgoing T3/STS-1/AU3 Line Build Out selection for cable lengths greater
than to 225 feet.

Line side alarms are broken into three categories, common alarms for T3, STS-1, and AU3 operation,
alarms for T3 operation only, and alarms for STS-1/AU3 operation only.
Common Alarms:
LOS – Loss of Signal indicates that the incoming T3, STS-1, or AU3 signal is missing. When
this event is declared, AIS will be transmitted out all 28 T1 ports or 21 E1 ports.
OOF – Out-of-Frame indicates that the incoming T3, STS-1, or AU3 framing is not detected.
When this event is declared, AIS will be transmitted out all 28 T1 ports or 21 E1 ports.
AIS – The Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) indicates that a T3 or STS-1 failure (AIS – bits 5 and 6
of the H1 byte) has occurred upstream from the TransAccess 200. When this event is detected,
AIS will be transmitted out all 28 T1 ports or 21 E1 ports.
NO OUT – This alarm indicates that the outgoing T3, STS-1, or AU3 signal has failed.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 9-24
T2/747 OOF – T2 or G.747 Out-of-Frame indicates that at least one of the T2 or G.747 tributaries
within the incoming T3 signal has lost its frame pattern. When this event is detected, the signals
associated with the failure will have AIS inserted into the 4 T1 tributaries or 3 E1 tributaries.
T3X BIT – The received T3 X-bit is used to identify a T3 far-end alarm. When the alarm is
detected, the T3 transmit path to the far-end equipment has failed.
T2X/747FE BIT – The receive T2 X-bit or G.747 Far-end bit is used to identify a T2 or G.747
far-end alarm. When the alarm is detected, at least one of the seven transmit tributaries has failed
towards the far-end equipment.
STS-1/AU3 Operation Alarms:
LOP – Loss of Pointer indicates that the PM13 module is unable to locate the start of the
Synchronous Payload Envelope (SPE) within the STS-1 signal. When this event is declared, T1
AIS will be inserted into each of the outgoing T1 tributaries within the outgoing T3 signal.
VT ALM – This is a VT1.5 alarm summary indicator. ‘Click’ on the service module slot to
display the alarm detail screen. It will show the VT1.5 or VT2 tributary alarms.
9.3.17 PM13/PM13E Alarm Details

The PM13 Alarm Details table summarizes the VT1.5 and T1 alarms for each of the PM13 service
modules. Figure 9-25 shows the tributary alarm screen. Similar alarm results are also displayed for the
PM13E module.
NOTE: If STS-1 LOS, LOF, LOP, or AIS is detected, VT1.5 alarms will not be reported.
VT1.5 Alarms:
The following VT1.5 alarms are detected from the incoming STS-1 signal. Similar VT2 alarms are
displayed for PM13E modules.

11 APPENDIX B – T3 FRAMING FORMATS
The multiplexing involved in forming a T3 signal is a two-step process. The first step is the multiplexing
of four T1 signals into one T2 signal. The second step is the combining of seven T2 signals to form a T3
signal. The T3 Service Module offers two industry standard T3 formats to accomplish this:
• M13 format
• C-Bit Parity format
Both steps in the multiplexing process require bit stuffing, a synchronization method used to adjust
varying input rates. The M13 format requires the use of specific bits within each subframe to control the
occurrence of bit stuffing, whereas bit stuffing is preset in each subframe of the C-Bit Parity format. By
freeing up this group of bits for other uses, the C-Bit Parity format available with the TransAccess 200
System offers the following additional maintenance capabilities:
• An application identification channel
• Communication data links
• Bi-directional end-to-end parity checking
The following paragraphs describe how each of the framing formats combines 28 separate T1 signals into
a single DS3 signal.
11.1 M13 FRAMING FORMAT FOR T2 FRAMING

The first step is to combine four T1 signals to form one T2 signal. The T2 frame created with the M13
Framing format, Figure 11-1, is generally called a T2 M-frame. The T2 M-frame is composed of four
subframes designated M1 through M4. Each subframe consists of 6 blocks containing 49 bits each. The
first bit in each block is a T2 overhead bit, or OH-bit. Each T2 M-frame contains 24 OH-bits (6 blocks
per subframe x 4 subframes per M-frame). The remaining 48 bits in a block are T1 information bits. The
total number of T1 information bits in a T2 M-frame is 1,152 (48 bits per block x 6 blocks per subframe x
4 subframes per M-frame).
The four subframes do not represent the four individual T1 signals, one for one. Rather, interleaving the
four T1 signals bit-by-bit, as demonstrated in Figure 11-1 forms the T2 M-frame.

NOTE:
1 = BIT FROM T1 CIRCUIT 1
Figure 11-1: M13 Format T2 Frame
Notice that each block in every subframe has the bit sequence:
OH 01 02 03 04
The overhead bit, OH, leads off every block and is followed by the interleaved T1 information bits where
0n designates the time slot devoted to T1 input n. Following every 48 T1 information bits, 12 bits from
each of the 4 T1 signals, a T2 OH-bit is inserted. The total number of T1 information bits transmitted in
one second in a T2 M-frame is calculated by multiplying the T1 rate by the number of T1 signals in an M-
frame:
1.544 Mbps x 4 = 6.176 Mbps
To provide extra bandwidth for bit stuffing and OH-bits, an overall rate of 6.312 Mbps is chosen.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 11-2
11.2 M13 Format DS2 Overhead Bits
The M13 T2 overhead bits (OH-bits) provide alignment and bit stuffing control. M13 OH-bits are located
in the first bit position of every block. The location of various OH-bits designated F, M, and C is
presented in Table 11-1.
Frame bits, or F-bits, form the frame alignment signal. There are eight F-bits per T2 M-frame (two per
subframe). The T2 F-bits are located in the first bit position in blocks 3 and 6. The frame alignment
pattern "01" is repeated in every subframe.
Multiframe bits, or M-bits, form the multiframe alignment signal. There are four M-bits per T2 M-
frame (one per subframe). The M-bits are located in the first bit position in each subframe. Transmission
equipment uses the M-bit pattern "011X", where X can equal 0 or 1, to locate the four subframes.
C-bits are used to control bit stuffing. There are three C-bits per T2 subframe located in the first bit
position in blocks 2, 4, and 5. The use of C-bits in the bit stuffing process is discussed in the M13 Format
Bit Stuffing paragraph.

3. C11 C12 C13 = stuffing indicators for T1 input 1.
C21 C22 C23 = stuffing indicators for T1 input 2.
If the three C-bits in a subframe are all zeros, no stuffing was done for the T1 input associated with that subframe.
If the three C-bits are all ones, stuffing was done.
11.3 M13 FRAMING FORMAT FOR T3 FRAMING

The second step in forming a T3 signal is the multiplexing of seven T2 signals, each containing four T1
signals, into one T3 signal. The same method used to multiplex the four T1 signals is used to multiplex
the T2 signals. Figure 11-2 shows the T3 framing format known as the standard M13 asynchronous
format. The T3 frame created in this step, sometimes called a T3 M-frame, is composed of seven
subframes designated 1st through 7th. Each subframe consists of eight blocks containing 85 bits each.
The first bit in each subframe is a T3 OH-bit. Each T3 M-frame contains 56 OH-bits (8 blocks per
subframe x 7 subframes per M-frame). The remaining 84 bits in a block are T2 information bits. The
TA-200 OP

total number of T2 information bits in a T3 M-frame is 4,704 (84 bits per block x 8 blocks per subframe x

The M13 format T3 overhead bits (OH-bits) provide alignment, error checking, in-band communications,
and bit stuffing control information. The OH-bits are located in the first bit position of every block. See
Table 11-2 for T3 overhead bit assignment.
Frame bits (F-bits) form the frame alignment signal. There are 28 F-bits per T3 M-frame (four per
subframe). The T3 F-bits are located in the first bit position in blocks 2, 4, 6, and 8 of every subframe.
The frame alignment pattern "1001" is repeated in every subframe.
Multiframe bits (M-bits) form the multiframe alignment signal. There are three M-bits per T3 M-frame
located in the first bit position in block 1 of subframes 5, 6, and 7. T3 equipment uses the M-bit pattern
"010" to locate the seven subframes.

1. F1 F0 F0 F1 is the frame alignment signal. F0 = 0 and F1 = 1.
2. M0 M1 M0 is the multiframe alignment signal. M0 = 0 and M1 = 1.
3. P is the parity information taken over all information bits in the preceding M-frame.
4. X-bits may be used to report far-end alarm conditions (T3 LOS or OOF). In any one M-frame, the two X-bits must be
identical and may not change more than once per second.
5. C11 C12 C13 = stuffing indicators for T2 input 1.
C-bits are used to control bit stuffing. There are three C-bits per T3 subframe located in the first bit
position in blocks 3, 5, and 7. The use of C-bits in the bit stuffing process is discussed in the M13 Format
Bit Stuffing paragraph.
X-bits are far-end alarm signals. There are two X-bits per T3 M-frame located in the first bit position in
block 1 of subframes 1 and 2. In any one T3 M-frame, the two X-bits must be identical—either both ones
or both zeros. In addition, the source may not change the state of the X-bits more than once every second.
Parity bits (P-bits) contain the parity information. There are two P-bits per T3 subframe located in the
first bit position of subframes 3 and 4. T3 sources compute parity over all 4,704 information bits (4,760
total bits minus 56 OH-bits) following the first X-bit in a T3 M-frame. The resulting parity information is
inserted in the P-bit positions of the following frame. The state of the two P-bits within a single T3 M-
frame is always identical. The two P-bits are set to "1" if the previous T3 M-frame contained an odd
number of ones. Conversely, the two P-bits are set to "0" if the previous T3 M-frame contained an even
number of ones.
The parity bits provide a means of in-service error detection. If, on the receive side, the number of ones
for a given frame does not match the parity information in the following frame, one or more bit errors
occurred during the transmission.

11.4 M13 Format Bit Stuffing
The four T1 signals are asynchronous relative to each other, and therefore may be operating at different
rates, Figure 11-3. The seven T2 signals may be asynchronous relative to each other because they may
not have been formed within a common multiplexer, Figure 11-4. Bit stuffing is used to adjust for
different input rates occurring on both the T2 and T3 levels of the T3 multiplexing process (see Table 11-
3). In both cases, the state of the three C-bits determines whether or not bit stuffing takes place.
Specifically, the state of the three C-bits in a subframe indicates whether stuffing occurs for the associated
T1 input signal. The multiplexing equipment physically determines the state of the C-bits.
T1 INPUT 1 = 1,544,000 bps

1,545,796 bps
STUFFING = 1796 bps
T1 INPUT 2 = 1,545,796 bps

1,545,796 bps
STUFFING = 0 bps
T2 OUTPUT = 6,312,000 bps
T1 INPUT 3 = 1,540,429 bps

1,545,796 bps
STUFFING = 5367 bps
T1 INPUT 4 = 1,544,500 bps

1,545,796 bps
STUFFING = 1296 bps
NOTE: THE “INTERMEDIATE” T1 RATE OF 1,545,796 BPS IS OBTAINED BY ADDING A GIVEN

T1 INPUT RATE TO ITS ASSOCIATED STUFFING RATE. THE “PSEUDO” T2 OUTPUT
RATE OF 6,312,000 BPS IS OBTAINED BY ADDING THE FOUR “INTERMEDIATE” T1
RATES AND THE T2 OVERHEAD RATE.
Figure 11-3: M13 Multiplexing of T1 Signals
In each T2 frame, one bit can be stuffed for each of the four T1 signals. In each T3 frame, one bit can be
stuffed for each of the seven T2 signals. The location of the stuffed bit is the first information bit position
associated with that T1 or T2 signal following the last F1 bit in a subframe. If the three C-bits are all
zeros, no stuffing occurs and the associated "stuff" bit is treated as a normal T1 or T2 information bit.
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 11-6
During the demultiplexing process, the three C-bits are used to determine if the "stuff" bit is to be
included in the reconstructed T1 or T2 signal. If C21=C22=C23=0, for example, then bit 2 following F1 in
the last block of subframe M2 is an information bit, and is therefore included in the reconstruction of the
second T1 signal. If, to consider another example, C61=C62=C63=0, then bit 6 following F1 in the last block
of subframe M6 is an information bit, and is therefore included in the reconstruction of the sixth T2
signal.

11.5 C-BIT PARITY FORMAT

The M13 asynchronous framing format discussed above uses all 21 C-bits for bit stuffing control. Since
M13 multiplexers perform bit stuffing when forming the seven T2 signals, the resulting T2 signals can be
synchronous to each other. Therefore, the bit stuffing that takes place when seven T2 signals are
multiplexed into a single T3 signal is redundant. The C-bit Parity format available with the TransAccess
200 System, unlike the M13 format, does not use the T3-level C-bits for bit stuffing control. Instead, the
C-bits, as well as the X-bits, are redefined to provide:

• Far-end alarm and channel control
• Bi-directional performance monitoring from near-end and far-end terminal equipment

of all information bits is 1. Both P-bits equal 0 if the sum is 0.

X-bits are far-end alarm signals. There are two X-bits per T3 M-frame located in the first bit position in
block 1 of subframes 1 and 2. In any one T3 M-frame, the two X-bits must be identical—either both ones
or both zeros. In addition, the source may not change the state of the X-bits more than once every second.
As in the M13 format, the X-bits are located in the first bit position in block 1 of subframes 1 and 2.
TA-200 OP

11.5.2 C-Bits
In the C-bit parity format, the C-bits are used to provide the following maintenance capabilities:
• Bi-directional performance monitoring from near-end and far-end terminal equipment
11.5.2.1 Application Identification Channel (AIC)

The first C-bit in subframe 1 is defined as an application identification channel (AIC) and can be used by
T3 terminal equipment to automatically identify a specific T3 framing format. For C-bit parity, this
position is set to 1.
11.5.2.2 Reserved Network Application Bit

The second C-bit in subframe 1 is reserved for future applications.
11.5.2.3 Data Links (Communication Data Links)

The three C-bits located in subframe 7, all designated DL, are defined as data links for applications and
terminal-to-terminal path maintenance and will be used in future releases of the TransAccess 200 System.
11.5.2.4 T3 Parity Bits

The three C-bits in subframe 3, designated CP-bits, are used to carry the T3 path parity information. At
the T3 terminal equipment (TE) transmitter, the CP-bits are set to the same value as the two P-bits.
Unlike the P-bits that are subject to correction by each facility section in the T3 path, the CP-bits pass
through the network unchanged (except in the case of errors). The T3 TE receiver can determine if an
error occurred in an M-frame by computing the parity based on the contents of the given M-frame and
comparing this parity value with the parity received in the CP-bits in the following M-frame. As a result,
the C-bit Parity format provides end-to-end parity checking.
11.5.2.5 Far-End Block Error Function (FEBE)

The far-end block error (FEBE) function uses the three C-bits in subframe 4. The FEBE function,
illustrated in Figure 11-5, involves the monitoring of incoming (westbound) transmission on the part of
the near-end terminal equipment for the occurrence of framing or parity errors. Upon detection of a
framing or parity error event via the westbound CP-bits, the near-end terminal equipment:
• Counts the event as a CP-bit parity error
• Indicates the occurrence of the error to the far-end terminal equipment via the eastbound
FEBE bits
To inform the far-end terminal equipment of the error, the three FEBE bits are set to 000. Under error-
free conditions, the three FEBE bits are set to 111. Because the T3 terminal equipment monitors both the
TA-200 OP
8/29/03 11-10
CP and FEBE bits, as well as the FEAC channel, the overall performance of the T3 path can be
determined at either end of the path for both directions of transmission.
11.5.3 C-Bit Parity Format Bit Stuffing

T1 to T3 multiplexing with the C-bit Parity format is basically the same two-step multiplexing process
described for the standard M13 asynchronous format. With the C-bit Parity format, bit stuffing occurs
100% of the time during the second step of multiplexing, eliminating the need to use C-bits for bit
stuffing control. This "full-time" bit stuffing at the T3 level, however, requires the seven T2 signals to be
lower in frequency than the 6.312 Mbps used with the M13 format. Therefore, in the first step of
multiplexing, four T1 signals are multiplexed to form a "pseudo" T2 signal at a frequency of 6,306,272
bps. This frequency is chosen in order that the seven "pseudo" T2 signals are multiplexed along with the
"full-time" DS3-level stuff bits and the 56 OH-bits to produce the nominal T3 output frequency of 44.736
Mbps.

Figure 11-6 illustrates the first step of T1 to T3 multiplexing in the C-bit Parity format. Note that the bit
stuffing rates are lower than those used for M13-type multiplexing (Figure 11-3). The lower bit stuffing
rates yield an intermediate T1 rate of 1,544,364 bps (instead of 1,545,796 bps) and therefore a T2 pseudo
output rate of 6,306,272 bps (instead of 6,312,000 bps). Note also that this new intermediate T1 rate
forces the maximum allowable T1 input rate (i.e., when bit stuffing is 0 bps) to be 1,544,364 bps.

12 APPENDIX C – SONET FRAMING
SONET (Synchronous Optical NETwork) is an American National Standard for a high-speed
optical telecommunications network based on the principles of synchronous multiplexing. The
basic structure of a SONET signal is the STS-1 (Synchronous Transport Signal Level 1) and has a
rate of 51.840 Mbps. The optical equivalent of STS-1 is called OC-1 (Optical Carrier Level 1).
Higher levels of SONET signals are created by byte-interleaving STS-1 signals. Table 12-1
shows the SONET Signal Hierarchy.
TABLE 12-1: SONET Signal Hierarchy

STS-3 OC-3 155.52
STS-12 OC-12 622.08

12.1 SONET Network Hierarchy

The SONET standard uses a layered approach, with the overhead and transport functions divided
into four layers. They are the Photonic, Section, Line, and Path Layers, Figure 12-1.
The Photonic layer deals with the transmission of actual bits of information across the fiber. It
converts the electrical signals to optical signals, and vice versa. There is no overhead associated
with the photonic layer.
The Section layer deals with the transmission of multiplexed STS frames across the physical
medium. An OC-3 Section is any part of the optical transmission path that interfaces a fiber
regenerator. It may lie between two regenerators or between a regenerator and a SONET
multiplexer or SONET digital switch.
The Line layer provides for the reliable transmission of the Path layer payload and its associated
overhead across the physical medium. A Line span lies between two SONET network elements
such as a SONET multiplexer or SONET digital switch. There may or may not be sections within
the Line layer.
The main purpose of the Path layer is to map the various services into the STS-1 payload
capacity, which is required by the Line layer. The Synchronous Payload Envelope SPE defines a
Path span. The ends of the Path are where the SPEs are assembled and disassembled.

12.2 SONET STS-1 Frame Structure

The STS-1 signal frame comprises 9 rows of bytes 90 columns wide, Figure 12-2. Total frame
capacity is 810 bytes, or 6480 bits. A frame rate of 8000 frames per second gives a signal rate of
51.84 Mbps (810 bytes * 8 bits/byte * 8000 frames/sec).
The STS-1 frame consists of two components: Transport Overhead and Synchronous Payload
Envelope (SPE).
12.2.1 Transport Overhead

The Transport Overhead occupies the first 3 columns of the STS-1 frame (27 bytes), Figure 12-2
and Figure 12-3. The Transport Overhead consists of the Section Overhead and the Line
Overhead. The Section Overhead is located in the first three rows of the three columns of the
Transport Overhead. The Section Overhead provides facilities to manage and maintain the
transportation of the SPE over a SONET Section span.
The Line Overhead is located in the remaining six rows of the three columns making up the
Transport Overhead. The Line Overhead provides facilities to manage and maintain the
transportation of the SPE over a SONET Line span.
The remaining 87 columns of the STS-1 frame (783 bytes) are allocated to the Synchronous
Payload Envelope (SPE), giving the SPE a channel capacity of 50.11 Mbps.

The STS-1 SPE is divided into two parts: Path Overhead and Payload Capacity.
12.2.2.1 Path Overhead

The SPE Path Overhead provides the alarm monitoring and performance monitoring capabilities
required to support and maintain transportation of the SPE, Table 12-3.
12.2.2.2 SPE Payload Capacity

The SPE Payload Capacity is designed to transport specific tributary signals. The STS-1 payload
capacity provides 774 bytes, structured as 86 columns of 9 bytes. This provides a 49.536 Mbps
transport capacity with a frame rate of 8000 Hz.

12.2.2.3 Tributary Signals

The SONET STS-1 SPE provides transport for a DS3 (44.736 Mbps) tributary signal. Tributary
signals with a lower signal rate are accommodated by the SPE by the use of a Virtual Tributary
(VT) frame structure. Each virtual tributary frame is designed to carry a specific digital signal.
The most important of the virtual tributaries is the VT1.5, which is designed to accommodate a
T1 tributary signal. An SPE can carry up to twenty-eight VT1.5s. A list of the available Virtual
Tributaries is provided below, Table 12-4.

12.3 SONET STS-3 Frame Structure

Higher order SONET signals are created using byte-interleaved multiplexing, which takes parallel
STS-1 signals and multiplexes them together, Figure 12-4. A SONET STS-3 signal is made up
of three parallel frame synchronized STS-1 signals that have been byte-interleaved together. A
two dimensional map for the STS-1 signal frame has the same 9-row depth of the STS-1, but has
270 columns - three times the number of an STS-1, Figure 12-4. Total frame capacity of the
STS-3 signal is 2430 bytes, or 19,440 bits. A frame rate of 8000 frames per second gives a signal
rate of 155.52 Mbps (2430 bytes * 8 bits/byte * 8000 frames/sec).
