Hardware System NE Management Software System
In terms of functional architecture, ZXMP S385 can be divided into the

hardware system and the NE management software system, which are
independent of each other but work coordinately. The hardware system is
the main body of the ZXMP S385. It can work independently of the NE
management software system.
Hardware System
With the “platform” design concept, the ZXMP S385 hardware system
consists of the NE control platform, clock processing platform, service
cross-connect platform, overhead processing platform, power support
platform and service access platform.
By means of platform establishment, transplant and integration, the ZXMP

S385 provides different functional units or boards, which are connected in
a specific way to form the SDH equipment with perfect functions and
flexible configurations. The ZXMP S385 can be configured as a TM, ADM,
or REG equipment, depending on the networking requirements.
The relationships of all the platforms are shown in Figure 4. And the
platform functions are listed in Table 4

report network management information.
Power supply With the distributed power supply mode, power supply modules in
support platform each board provide power to corresponding boards.
This platform supports the access of SDH, PDH, Ethernet and ATM
Service access services. It converts accessed services to corresponding formats, and
platform then forwards them to the service cross-connect platform for
convergence and distribution.
This platform provides orderwire voice channel and several assistant
Overhead
data channels through section overhead (SOH) bytes while
processing platform
transmitting payloads.
Clock processing As one of the core part of the hardware system, this platform
platform provides the system clock for all platforms in the equipment.
This platform implements the convergence, distribution and switching
Service cross-
for service signals and other information received from the service
connect platform
access platform and overhead processing platform.
EMS System
The ZXMP S385 employs the NetNumen T31 network element
management system (EMS) software to manage and monitor the hardware
system and transmission network, and coordinate the work of the
transmission network.

Introduction to Hierarchy
The NetNumen T31 system has four layers: equipment layer, NE layer, NE
management layer and sub-network management layer. It can also
provide Corba interface for the network management layer.
The hierarchy of the NetNumen T31 system is shown in Figure 5.
FIGURE 5 HIERARCHY OF EMS SOFTWARE
Equipment layer (MCU)

It is responsible for monitoring board alarms and performances,
receiving commands from the network management system and
controlling boards to perform specific operations.
NE layer (NE)
The NE is an agent in the EMS. It implements the management
function for an individual NE. When the NE is powered on for
initialization, it performs the configuration of boards. In normal
operation, it monitors the alarms and performance statuses of the
whole NE, and receives monitoring commands from the NE
management layer (Manager) through the Gateway Network Element
(GNE) and executes the commands.

NE management layer (Manager)

This layer includes the Manager, the Graphical User Interface (GUI),
and the Local Craft Terminal (LCT). It controls and coordinates a series
of NEs.
¾ Manager (or Server): core of the NE management layer. The
Manager can simultaneously manage multiple subnets as well as
control and coordinate NEs.
¾ GUI: provides the graphical user interfaces. It converts the user
management requests into commands in the internal format, and
delivers these commands to the Manager.
¾ LCT: a simple combination of the functions of the GUI and the
Manager by controlling user authorities and using software
functional parts. It provides a weakened NE management function,
mainly used in the commissioning and maintenance of local NEs.
Sub-network management layer
The hierarchy of sub-network management layer is similar to that of
the NE management layer. The NE configuration and maintenance
commands are indirectly implemented through the EMS in the NE
management layer.
The sub-network management system sends a control command to the
EMS, which forwards the command to the NE. After the command
execution, the NE feeds the result back to the sub-network
management system through the EMS. In addition, the sub-network
management system (SNMS) can provide the network management
layer with the Corba interface which transfers the sub-network
monitoring command and running information.
Interface Description
Figure 5 shows the locations of various interfaces of the EMS. Table 5 lists
the interfaces and describes them.

the SOH. These interfaces include the orderwire phone, RS422/232
interface, 64 Kbit/s F1 interface. It also provides flexible overhead path
add/drop modes.
4. Transparent Transmission of Overheads

The ZXMP S385 supports the transparent transmission of overhead,
that is, the MSOH and RSOH bytes (except for A1, A2, B1, B2, and M1)
can be transparently transmitted to other STM-N line or STM-1
electrical interface tributary. This greatly enhances network
construction flexibility, solves the problem of insufficient fiber
resources, and ensures unification of EMS and continuity of EMS
information.
5. Cross-connect and Access Capacity

The ZXMP S385 system has the service access capacity of 180 Gbit/s,
the space division cross-connect capacity of 220 Gbit/s (equals to

1408×1408 VC-4), and the time division cross-connect capacity of 40

Gbit/s（256×256 VC-4）.
¾ ZXMP S385 supports TCS32 module, which has the time division
cross-connect capacity of 5 Gbit/s (equals to 32×32 AU-4).
cross-connect capacity of 2×5 Gbit/s (equals to 2×32×32 AU-4).
6. Equipment/Network Protection Capability
i. Equipment protection capability
¾ Dual-bus design
In terms of hardware, the ZXMP S385 employs the redundancy
design and the dual-bus architecture for service bus, overhead
bus, and clock bus, thus enhances the system reliability and
stability.
¾ Dual power distribution system

Synchronous Clock Interface board (SCI) and Qx Interface
board (QxI) are used to construct a dual power distribution
system, so as to ensure the power supply of the equipment.
¾ 1+1 warm backup for critical boards

The cross-connect and clock board (CSFP) and the NE control
processor (ANCP) work in the 1+1 warm backup mode,
implementing the backup of the critical boards and enhancing
the system security.
¾ Distributed power supply for boards

The distributed power supply mode is used for each board, so
that the power influence of boards on each other can be
reduced to zero, thus significantly reduces the influence of
system during board hot plugging.

Ethernet Service Function

ZXMP S385 supports the following Ethernet services: EPL (Ethernet Private
Line), EVPL (Ethernet Virtual Path Line), EPLAN (Ethernet Private LAN),
and EVPLAN (Ethernet Virtual Private LAN).
Ethernet boards of ZXMP S385 support different Ethernet service types, as

listed in Table 13.

TGE2B √ × × ×
SEC √ √ √ √
RSEB √ √ √ √
MSE √ √ × ×
TGSAx8 √ × × ×
Note: “√” indicates support. “×” indicates not support.
EPL service
EPL service implements point-to-point transparent transmission of
Ethernet service. Taking TGE2B as an example, it provides two
channels for point-to-point transparent transmission of Ethernet
service. Each user port is bound with a certain system port, and vice
versa. Thus, it can transparently transmit gigabit Ethernet service.
EVPL service
EVPL differs from EPL in that EVPL users need to share the link
bandwidth.
EVPL service can isolate different users’ services using VLAN, so as to
share the bandwidth.
VLAN can isolate different users’ services in a transmission network,
thus satisfies user’s requirement for data security.
Optical transmission equipments at convergence layer and access layer
provide data interfaces. These data interfaces can compose many
VLANs. In this way, data service can be provided to users on base of
current transmission network.
SEC board of ZXMP S385 can provide at most eight 10/100 Mbit/s
Ethernet interfaces. With the cooperation of EMS, flexible and efficient
VLAN can be implemented.
EPLAN service
EPLAN is a kind of Ethernet services from multiple points to multiple
points. Different users do not need to share SDH bandwidth. There is
no need for QoS mechanism or security mechanism.
Since there are multiple nodes, it is necessary to transfer data based
on MAC address. So the nodes have MAC address learning function and
L2 switch function.
EVPLAN service
EVPLAN service can be implemented by MPLS or VLAN stack (Q-in-Q)
technology.
From user’s point of view, EVPLAN service makes operator’s network
looks like a LAN.

EVPLAN differs from EPLAN in that EVPLAN users need to share the link
bandwidth.
Ethernet services of ZXMP S385 can allocate bandwidth dynamically as per
user’s requirement.
For SEC board, each system port can allocate bandwidth with the
minimum granularity of 2 Mbit/s and the maximum granularity of 100
Mbit/s.
For TGE2B board, each system port can allocate bandwidth with the
minimum granularity of VC-4 and the maximum granularity of VC-4-8v.
When system port employs virtual concatenation mode to designate port

capacity, LCAS technique can be used to dynamically adjust the quantity
of virtual group VC-n without interrupting service, thus enhancing the
haleness of virtual concatenation and improving the bandwidth utilization
ratio.
ATM Service
ZXMP S385 supports ATM service. It can converge bandwidth of ATM
service.
The burst of traffic is one of the main features of data service. Generally,
each data port will not reach the full capacity, since the bandwidth
convergence function of the convergence layer can effectively use the
transmission bandwidth. This function and the bandwidth dynamic
allocation function supplement each other.
The bandwidth convergence of ATM service is performed by AP1x8 board.

AP1x8 board can integrate eight channels of 155 Mbit/s ATM services.
Through the ATM switch matrix, it convergences these services into one to
four channels of 155 Mbit/s, or one channel of 622 Mbit/s SDH optical
signal; and transmits the signal in the MAN optical network. The ATM
switch matrix supports VP/VC exchange at the ATM layer, and has the
functions of VP ring and flow control.
RPR Function
The RPR (resilient packet ring) employs the SRP (space reuse protocol).
SRP enables no repetitive traffic flow in the space, so that each service can
use its own line bandwidth without affecting other services. Briefly
speaking, normally, the data is transferred in the shortest arc between the
source node and the destination node, and multiple nodes can
communicate with each other simultaneously. Thus, many nodes can
send/receive and group simultaneously, which can improve the bandwidth
utilization ratio in the ring. The improvement of bandwidth utilization ratio
is great when there are lots of nodes in the ring.
The RSEB board of ZXMP S385 supports the RPR ring with L2 switch
function. The system side of RSEB board provides two RPR SPAN ports and
four EOS ports. The RPR SPAN ports can form a bidirectional RPR ring at
155 Mbit/s to 1.25 Gbit/s, which supports the send/receive of RPR frame

specified in IEEE802.17. The EOS port supports the send/receive of

Ethernet frame specified in IEEE802.3.
SAN Function
TGSAx8 board supports SAN interface. It can access ESCON (Enterprise
System Connection), FICON (Fiber Connection), and FC (Fiber Channel)
services.
The full name of SAN is Storage Area Network. It connects with server and
disk array via dedicated hub, exchange, and gateway. It is a private
network which makes high speed and reliable access available between
server and external storage resource or between independent storage
resources.
System Control and

Communication Functions
The system control and communication functions are implemented by the
NE Control Processor board (ANCP), including:
1. Sending configuration commands to boards, and collecting board

performance and alarm information.
2. The system implements information exchange between EMSs via the
ECC channel.
3. The system implements orderwire calls between NEs via the E1/E2
bytes. The orderwire part uses an independent CPU.
4. Qx interface is the communication interface between the NE and the
Sub-network Management Control Center (SMCC). Through the Qx
interface, ANCP can report to SMCC the alarm and performance
information of the current NE and its sub-network, and receive the
commands and configurations sent from SMCC to the current NE and
its sub-network.
5. The ANCP board conducts intelligent monitoring of the fan plug-in box
in the current NE, and the overvoltage/undervoltage monitoring of the
input voltage of the power distribution unit.
System Power Supply Function

ZXMP S385 employs the dual power supply system to access the -48V
external power in the equipment room, and processes the -48 VDC power
using the synchronous clock interface board (SCI) and the Qx interface
board (QxI).
It employs the distributed power supply mode.

Service boards, functional boards, and STM-1 electrical interface switching

board are directly powered by the –48 V power in the subrack.
E1/T1 switching boards (ESE1x63, EST1x63), E1/T1 interface bridge board

(BIE1), E3/T3 switching board (ESE3x6), and STM-1e/E3/T3/FE interface
bridge board (BIE3) are powered in a 1+1 warm backup mode by SCI
board and QxI board.
Overhead Processing Function

The overhead processing function of ZXMP S385 is performed by the NE
Control Processor (ANCP), orderwire board (OW), cross-connect and clock
board (CSFP), and optical line board.
Overhead processing functions include:
Separates section overheads from payload data in the SDH frame

structure.
Transmits ECC control information via DCC channel.
Utilizes E1, E2, and other idle overhead bytes to implement orderwire
calls and data services.
Cross-connects overhead. “Byte” is the minimum granularity of cross-
connect. The overhead can be configured to any port as required by
EMS.
Timing and Synchronization

Output Function
The ZXMP S385 employs the master/slave synchronization mode. The
timing and synchronization is carried out by the cross-connect and clock
board, specifically including:
1. Clock source selection

ZXMP S385 can choose the external clock, the clock extracted from
STM-N service interfaces, or the internal clock as the equipment timing
reference. The working modes include fast capture, tracing, hold, and
free-oscillation modes.
If the external timing reference is selected as the clock source, four

external 2 MHz or 2 Mbit/s clock input references and 28 lines (or
tributaries) timing input references can be set.
2. Clock source switching

When the clock source is lost, higher quality clock source recovers, or
the current clock source quality degrades, the clock source switching
will occur.

The system clock supports the synchronous priority switching and SSM
algorithm-based automatic switching. In the complicated networking,
the SSM algorithm-based automatic switching can optimize the timing
and synchronization distribution of the network, reduce the difficulty of
synchronization planning, avoid the timing loop and ensure the optimal
network synchronization.
3. Clock export
The system provides four external reference clocks for output. The
interface type is 2 Mbit/s or 2MHz, which is implemented by replacing
the synchronous clock interface board (SCIB/SCIH), which provides
two 75 Ω and two 120 Ω interfaces.
Alarm Input/Output Function

ANCP board collects NE alarm messages and send them to the alarm box
and column-head cabinet via SCI board and QxI board. SCI board receives
alarm messages sent from the external.
1. SCI board has an external alarm Boolean variable input interface

(ALARM_IN), which can receive eight channels of external alarm
Boolean variables.
2. ANCP board provides four channels of user alarm signal output
interfaces via SCI board and QxI board. The external alarm Boolean
variable input interface (ALARM_IN) of SCI board can output two
channels of user-defined alarm signals. The column-head cabinet alarm
interface (ALARM_OUT) can output one channel of critical alarm signal
and one channel of major/minor alarm signal.
Cross-connect Function
The cross-connect function refers to the cross-connect of AU-4, TU-3, TU-
12, or TU-11 via optical line boards and electrical processing boards. The
cross-connect matrix is used for protection switching.
Through its cross-connect and clock board, ZXMP S385 achieves the pass-
through, broadcast, add/drop, and cross-connect of services. The pass-
through, broadcast, and add/drop are a subset of the cross-connect
function. In the equipment, both the electrical tributary interface and the
optical line interface enter the cross-connect network, and they have
equivalent connections. Therefore, the services between interfaces can be
cross-connected in any format, as shown in Figure 7.

Pass-through
The line service is input into the cross-connect matrix via the interface
at one side, and is output via the same timeslot at the other side. The
equipment here functions as a regenerator. The signal cross-connect in
the pass-through mode is shown in Figure 8.
FIGURE 8 PASS-THROUGH

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

Broadcast
ZXMP S385 can implement the following broadcast functions:
¾ Broadcast between the lines, as shown in Figure 10 (a).

¾ Broadcast of timeslots inside the line, as shown in Figure 10 (b).

¾ Dropping one service signal from a line to more than two tributary
timeslots at the same time, or adding the tributary service signal to
more than two line timeslots, as shown in Figure 10 (c).
¾ Allocating timeslots of one tributary to more than two tributaries,
as shown in Figure 10 (d).
The above broadcast modes can be carried out simultaneously.

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

Tributary
As shown in Figure 12, NE T1 and NE T2 can interwork with the

backbone network via NE A, or form a direct service route between
themselves via NE A without establishing another line or adding
equipment between T1 and T2. The ZXMP S385 functions described
above can also support the network maintenance/test during network
construction/operation.

Protection Functions
Protection functions include equipment-level protection and network-level
protection.
Equipment-level Protection
Power Supply Protection
1. Out-of-cabinet power protection
Two groups of -48 V power supplies access the equipment room for the
ZXMP S385. The external power supply works in the 1+1 protection
mode, ensuring that the equipment operates normally when either
power supply group in the equipment room fails.
2. Board power supply protection

The service boards employ the distributed power supply mode to
reduce the power supply influence between boards to zero. All boards
have overcurrent and overvoltage protections.
3. Protection for reversed polarities of power supply

Use the reverse-preventive diode and fuse for protection.
Cross-connect Protection and Clock Protection

The ZXMP S385 provides the 1+1 protection for the cross-connect and
clock board by configuring an active and a standby cross-connect and
clock boards. In case of fault, the system will automatically switch from
the active cross-connect and clock board to the standby cross-connect
board. Through EMS configuration, the system can oblige service board to
select overhead bus, service bus or clock bus of one cross-connect and
clock board.
ANCP Board Protection

ZXMP S385 can provide 1+1 protection for ANCP board by installing an
active ANCP board and a standby ANCP board in the system. In case of
fault, the system will automatically switch between the two boards. The
EMS can oblige ANCP boards to switch. And the maintenance person can
manually perform switching.

1:N Protection for Tributary Board

ZXMP S385 supports 1:N hardware service protection for PDH, STM-1 (e),
and FE (e) tributary services:
E1/T1 service board can implement 1:N (N≤9) protection.

E3/T3 service board can implement two groups of 1:N (N≤4)
protection.
FE (e) service board can implement two groups of 1:N (N≤4)
protection.
STM-1 (e) service board can implement two groups of 1:N (N≤4)
protection.
Network-Level Protection
Protection Types
ZXMP S385 complies with multiple networking features recommended by
ITU-T. The protection modes include 1+1 link multiplex section protection,
two-fiber unidirectional path protection ring, two-fiber bidirectional
multiplex section protection ring, four-fiber bidirectional multiplex section
protection ring, dual node interconnection protection (DNI), and sub-
network connection protection (SNCP).
Its protection features also include Ethernet and IP rerouting compliant

with IEEE802.3E.
Extra Service
ZXMP S385 can use the protection channel to carry extra service when the
work channel has no fault. Extra service has lower priority than normal
service, and has no protection. If fault or external command triggers
channel switching, normal service in the work channel will be switched to
the protection channel, and extra service in the protection channel on the
fault span will be abandoned. When fault recovers, extra service will be
recovered.
All the optical interfaces of ZXMP S385 optical line boards support MS
protection with extra service. The MS protections supported include: four-
fiber/two-fiber ring (with or without extra service), 1:N link (with or
without extra service).
Connection Error Squelch

Protection channel of MS protection ring is shared by spans on the ring. If
work channel works normally, protection channel can carry extra service.
Therefore, each timeslot of protection channels can work for multiple
services: service of the same timeslot on different spans, and extra service.
Since protection channel is shared by spans, service might be incorrectly
connected during protection switching.
The mechanism of connection error is as follows:

For a ring with no extra service, if multiple nodes have fault and results
in one node to be isolated, services from the same timeslot on different
spans may try to enter the protection channel timeslot simultaneously.
Thus results in connection error of service.
Figure 13 shows an example of connection error.
FIGURE 13 CONNECTION ERROR EXAMPLE
In normal work status, circuit Q occupies timeslot 1 between node A

and node C. Meanwhile, circuit R occupies timeslot 1 between node A
and node F, as shown in Figure 13(a).
When node A is isolated, as shown in Figure 13(b), the span between
node A and node F, and the span between node A and node B are

broken. Therefore, both circuit Q and circuit R try to switch to timeslot

1 of protection channel, resulting in service connection error.
For a ring with extra service, even fault of one node may cause normal
service of work channel to try to occupy protection channel timeslot
which carries extra service, and thus results in service connection error.
ZXMP S385 can squelch connection error at AU-4 level for two-fiber/four-
fiber MS ring, logic sub-network, and DNI.
ZXMP S385 identifies the nodes that switch as per the switching request,
and checks the services that are affected by the switching. In this way, it
can identify the connection that might be incorrect. Then, it inserts AU-AIS
into the timeslot that may carry the incorrectly connected service, so as to
squelch connection error.
In practice, connection error squelch is implemented by EMS.
Logic Sub-network Protection

ZXMP S385 supports logic sub-network protection.
Logic sub-network divides a network into subnets based on physical layer,

and independently manages and configures subnets. It allows user to
perform management, maintenance, and circuit dispatch in subnets,
making user feel really easy and free to apply network.
If a network is divided into logic subnets, MS protection is carried out as

per the MS protection information of the corresponding logic sub-network.
Services affected by line faults are protected as much as possible.
OL16, OL64, and OL64FEC boards of ZXMP S385 support logic sub-
network protection.
For details about logic sub-network, refer to Appendix A.

Note: The maximum power consumptions are tested under the environmental temperature of
45 ºC. When equipment is started up or environmental temperature is higher or lower, the
power consumptions will increase. Therefore, the power supply capacity provided by
equipment should be 1.5 or 1.8 times the maximum power consumptions listed in the table.

Environmental Conditions
Environmental condition requirements include requirements for the
grounding, temperature/humidity, and cleanness.
Grounding Requirements
If separate grounding is employed in the equipment room, the grounding
resistance should meet the following requirements:
The ground resistance of -48 V GND: ≤ 4 Ω.

Lightning Protection
Requirements
Typical lightning protections of power supply fall into three classes, as
listed in Table 18.

TABLE 18 TYPICAL LIGHTNING PROTECTION CLASSES OF POWER SUPPLY
Lightning Protection Position of Lightning

Major Parameter
Class Protection Circuit
AC power distribution screen
Class B (Elementary class) 40 kA (8 μs/20 μs)
(box)
Class C (Lower class) 20 kA (8 μs/20 μs) DC power supply cabinet
Class D (Lowest class) 6000 V (combined wave) -48 V power supply rectifier
ZXMP S385 needs to satisfy the following lightning protection

requirements:
For central equipment room:

¾ AC cables should be buried under ground.
¾ Since AC power distribution screen and DC power supply cabinet
might stay in the same equipment room, the distance between
class B arrester and class C arrester should satisfy the required
distance of decoupling. If protection grounding is laid alone, the
distance between class B arrester and class C arrester should be no
less than 5 m. If protection grounding is laid parallel with power
cord, the distance between class B arrester and class C arrester
should be no less than 15 m.
¾ If the distance between class B arrester and class C arrester cannot
satisfy the above requirement, it is necessary to add a decoupling
inductance in front of class C arrester (calculated as 1.5 H/m).
¾ Grounding cable of class B arrester and that of class C arrester
should be joined by stranded copper cable, and MET (Major Earth
Terminal) or FEB (Floor Equipotential earth terminal Board), whose
cross-sectional area is no less than 95 mm2. And the grounding
cable should be as short as possible.
If ZXMP S385 input/output cables for E1, Ethernet, alarm, and
orderwire signals are connected from the outside or from room of other
floor, make sure to add a surge protector with residual voltage no
more than 100 V at the signal entrance. The surge protector should be
well grounded via ZXMP S385 equipment.
The lightning protection requirements of ZXMP S385 power input port
and input/output port of E1, Ethernet, alarm, and orderwire signals are
listed in Table 19.

DC power input port 1 kV (1.2 μs/50 μs)
Signal input/output port 1 kV (1.2 μs/50 μs)

EMC Requirements
The requirements for EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) include two
aspects: requirements for electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) and
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The following three criteria should be followed to judge the test result:
Performance criterion A: Continuous phenomenon

Neither error nor alarm is allowed.
After electromagnetic interference, the number of error bits does not
exceed the maximum value of the normal requirement.
Performance criterion B: Transient phenomenon
Loss of frame alignment or loss of synchronization is not allowed
during each individual exposure. No alarms shall be generated as a
result of the electromagnetic stress.
The above does not apply to surge testing where some loss of frame
alignment may be expected. For this test, the EUT shall operate as
intended following the cessation of the exposure.
Performance criterion R: Resistivity
The equipment can pass the test without damage or producing other
interference (e.g. software damage, or improper protection for faulty
equipment), and can work properly within the specified limit after the
transient phenomenon. It is unnecessary for the equipment to work
properly during the test.
The interference imposed on the equipment during the test can cause
action of the fuse or other specified device which need to be replaced
or reset so that the equipment can work properly.
EMS
This section introduces the following EMS (electromagnetic susceptibility)
indexes: ESD resistivity, RF electromagnetic field radiation resistivity,
electrical transient burst resistivity, surge resistivity, and RF field
conductivity resistivity.
ESD Resistivity
The ESD (Electrical Static Discharge) resistivity indexes of the ZXMP S385
are listed in Table 20.

Jitter Transfer Characteristic of

Regenerator
The jitter transfer characteristic of regenerator is defined as the
relationship between the frequency and the ratio of the output STM-N
signal jitter to the input STM-N signal jitter.
The jitter transfer characteristic of the ZXMP S385 SDH regenerator is

shown in Figure 17. The jitter transfer characteristics specifications of the

Clock Specifications
Timing Principles
The component closest to the SDH network synchronization performance
is the clock unit. ITU-T Recommendations specify three types of clocks:
1. ITU-T G.811 specifies the primary reference clock.

2. ITU-T G.812 specifies slave clocks at different levels.
3. ITU-T G.813 specifies the slave clock of SDH equipment.
All the timings of SDH system should conform to the primary reference
clock (PRC) described in G.811.
Output Jitter
Output jitter: When there is no input jitter, output jitter refers to the jitter
of the clock output interface.
When there is no input jitter, the inherent jitter of the 2 MHZ or 2 MBIT
clock output interface in the ZXMP S385 should not exceed 0.05 UIP-P. The
test is conducted at the time interval of 60 s, using a single pole bandpass
filter with 20 Hz and 100 kHz turnover frequencies.
Permissible Input Interface

Attenuation/Frequency Deviation and
Others
1. Permissible input interface attenuation: The input interface should be
able to work properly when receiving the signals attenuated through
the standard connection cable. Proper working is generally judged by
no bit error or clock lock loss in the equipment.

The permissible input attenuation of the ZXMP S385 satisfies the

following specifications:
The attenuation characteristic introduced by the input interface signal

complies with the frequency square root rule. When using cables with
attenuation range of 0 dB ~ 6 dB, no bit error or clock lock loss occurs
in the equipment.
2. Permissible input interface frequency deviation: When the input

interface receives signals with frequency deviation within the specified
range, it can still work properly. Proper working is generally judged by
no bit error or clock lock loss in the equipment.
The permissible input frequency deviation of the ZXMP S385 satisfies
the following specifications:
When the input interface signal introduces frequency deviation of ± 4.6

ppm, no bit error or clock lock loss occurs in the equipment.
3. Signal bit rate tolerance of the output interface: the difference between
the bit rate of actual clock signals and the specified nominal bit rate
should not exceed the permissible difference range of each interface
level, that is, the tolerance.
The signal bit rate tolerance of the output interface of the ZXMP S385
is within ± 4.6 ppm.
4. Output interface waveform: It refers to the parameter specifications of

the output signal waveform when the test load impedance specified by
the clock output interface.
The waveform of the ZXMP S385 output interface conforms to the
relevant templates specified in ITU-T G.703.
Switching of Timing Reference Sources

The ZXMP S385 is equipped with more than one external timing reference
input. When the selected timing reference fails, the SDH equipment can
automatically switch to another timing reference input using the S1 byte.
For 2 Mbit/s external timing source, the timing reference failure refers to
the signal loss of synchronous clock input interface; for the timing
recovery through STM-N line signals, the timing reference failure refers to
the loss of STM-N signals that bear timing signals, or the AIS occurrence.
Long-term Phase Variation in Locked

Mode
The long-term phase variation in the locked mode refers to the phase
noise generated at the SEC output terminal when there is an ideal input
reference signal. It is generally expressed by the Maximum Time Interval
Error (MTIE) and Time Deviation (TDEV).The ZXMP S385 satisfies the
requirements listed in Table 59, Table 60, and Table 61.

0.64τ0.5 ns 25 s < τ ≤ 100 s
6.4 ns 100 s < τ ≤ 1000 s
Clock Accuracy in Hold Mode

Once all the timing references are lost, the SEC will enter the hold mode
after transient phase variation. SEC will use the last frequency information
saved before the timing reference signal is lost as its timing reference. At
the same time, the oscillation frequency of the oscillator will slowly wander,
but can still ensure that SEC frequency only has very small frequency
deviation from the reference frequency in a long time; thus, the slip
impairment will stay within the permissible specification. This mode can be
used to deal with external clock interruption faults lasting for several days.
When SEC loses its reference source and enters the hold mode, the phase
error Δ T between the SEC output signal and SEC input signal should not
exceed the following limit when observation time S is greater than 15 s:
Δ T ( S ) = [ ( a 1 + a 2 ) S + 0 . 5 b S 2 + c ] n s , where
¾ a 1 = 5 0 n s / s , denoting the initial frequency deviation of 5×10-8.
¾ a 2 = 2 0 0 0 n s / s , denoting the frequency deviation of 2×10-6, which

is caused by the temperature change when the clock enters the
hold mode. If there is no temperature change, there will be no a 2 S
in the phase error Δ T .
¾ b=1.16×10-4 n s / s . It is caused by aging, corresponding to
1×10-8/day frequency wander.
¾ c = 1 2 0 n s , including any additional phase deviation that might be
generated during the transition period when entering the hold
mode.
ZXMP S385 satisfies the above requirements.

Frequency Accuracy of the Internal

Oscillator in Free-oscillation Mode
The internal oscillator of the SEC works in the free-oscillation mode when
the SEC loses all of the timing references and their memories or the SEC
has no hold mode at all. Its output frequency accuracy must be within a
certain accuracy range.
For a reference that conforms to the G.811, the SEC output frequency
accuracy should be no greater than 4.6 ppm for SDH terminal equipment
working in the free-oscillation mode, and no greater than 20 ppm for REG
equipment.
ZXMP S385 satisfies all these specifications.

board is configured with the mapping bandwidth of 8×VC-4, the port
throughput can reach 7×VC-4.
Tip: The port flow control function must be disabled when conducting the
throughput test.
Delay
Delay refers to the maximum acceptable delay under the prerequisite
that data is normally received. There is no specific criterion for delay.
However, it should be as small as possible under certain conditions.
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)

Specifications
Basic VLAN Function Specifications
The basic VLAN function refers to the equipment supported function of
the tag-based VLAN that complies with the IEEE 802.1Q Standard.
Through the NetNumen T31 configuration, the ZXMP S385 enhanced
smart Ethernet boards support this function.
Trunk Specifications
Trunk means transmitting large-capacity Ethernet services by binding
multiple Ethernet interfaces. The Ethernet interfaces in the same trunk
group have the same VLAN configuration attributes.
Number of VLAN IDs

In IEEE 802.1Q Recommendation, a header of four bytes is defined as

a VLAN ID. Each port can belong to multiple VLANs. The range of VLAN
ID is 1 to 4094.
The ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet boards satisfy this

requirement.
VLAN Priority
Under the prerequisite that the QoS function is enabled, when services
from multiple sources are converged at one transmitting port, the port
can transmit these services according to the preset VLAN priorities and
bandwidths corresponding to these priorities. Once the total traffic
exceeds the transmitting bandwidth of the port, the port will drop the
services that have lower priorities and exceed the bandwidth limit, to
ensure the normal transmission of services with higher priorities.
The ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet boards support configuration

of VLAN priority and bandwidth proportion.

Packet Loss Ratio
Packet loss ratio refers to the maximum acceptable packet loss ratio
under the prerequisite that data is normally received. There is no
specific criterion for packet loss ratio. However, it should be as low as
possible and close to 0 under certain conditions.
Tip: The port flow control function must be disabled when conducting the packet
loss ratio test.

For the ZXMP S385, when the GE port of TGE2B, MSE, TGSAx8, or SEC
board is configured with the mapping bandwidth of 8×VC-4, the port
throughput can reach 7×VC-4.
Tip: The port flow control function must be disabled when conducting the
throughput test.
Security Filtering Characteristics

The security filtering characteristics include static MAC address setting
and MAC address filtering.
i. Static MAC address setting
The static address setting is to manually add a MAC address and

the corresponding port information into the MAC address list. Only
the receiving port that is set can receive the data flow normally
without packet loss.
Through the NetNumen T31 configuration, the ZXMP S385
enhanced smart Ethernet boards including SEC, RSEB, and MSE
support this function.
ii. MAC address filtering
MAC address filtering is to manually add a MAC address, and filter

the frames that use this MAC address as the source/destination
address. The port that is set cannot receive any data flow.
With the cooperation of the NetNumen T31 EMS, the ZXMP S385
support this function.
Congestion Control Specifications
Both the QoS and the flow control are congestion control methods.
QoS emphasizes the normal operation of standard services to
maximize the bandwidth utilization. The services exceeding the flow
standard are processed by the packet discard method when the flow
requirement cannot be satisfied. While the flow control handles the
congestion by temporarily stopping the transmission of the
transmitting end, thus ensures that the flow is not discarded.
With the cooperation of the NetNumen T31 EMS, the ZXMP S385
support these two functions.
Number of VLANs Supported
The enhanced smart Ethernet boards of ZXMP S385 support 1022
VLANs. The range of VLAN ID is 1 to 4094.
Convergence Ratio Specifications

Convergence means that services of multiple system interfaces occupy
one user interface bandwidth.
ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet board can achieve the

convergence ratio of 48:1 at maximum.

Layer-2 VPN Characteristics

ZXMP S385 enhanced smart Ethernet boards support the layer-2 VPN
function via the Stacked VLAN (Q-in-Q) mode.
RPR Performance Specifications

The ZXMP S385 conforms to the RPR performance specifications with L2
switching function.
Packet Loss Ratio

When the load is stable and continuous, some data packets should be
forwarded but cannot be forwarded because source shortage occurs. The
packet loss ratio refers to the ratio of such kind of data packets to the data
packets that should be forwarded.
The packet loss ratio should be less than 0.01% (temporarily decided).
The ZXMP S385 satisfies this requirement.
Burst Interval
Burst interval refers to the time interval between the frame bursts of the
Ethernet port at the user side. It is generally defined as the minimum
frame interval between Ethernet frames which are listed in Table 64.
TABLE 64 MINIMUM FRAME INTERVAL BETWEEN ETHERNET FRAMES
Ethernet Rate Minimum Frame Interval

10 Mbit/s 9.6 μs
100 Mbit/s 0.96 μs
1000 Mbit/s 0.096 μs
The burst interval of ZXMP S385 satisfies the above requirements.
RPR Loop Protection Switching Time

The RPR loop protection switching time is the protection switching time of
RPR itself.
The RPR loop protection switching includes two modes: wrapping and
steering. The protection switching time in both these two modes should be
less than 50 ms.
The RPR loop protection switching time of ZXMP S385 satisfies the above
requirement.

Address Buffering Capability

The address buffering capability refers to the number of MAC addresses
that one port/module/node can buffer. The buffered MAC address can
prevent the abandon or flooding of received frames during the transition.
The ZXMP S385 RPR ring network can buffer no less than 64 k addresses.

ATM Characteristics
The ATM characteristics include range of VPI/VCI value, VP/VC multicast,
transmission priority of ATM cell, VP-Ring protection, protection between
layers, and ATM transmission performance.
Introduction to VP/VC Exchange

The permanent virtual circuit (PVC) established for ATM service has two
connection types: virtual path (VP) connection and virtual channel (VC)
connection.
Figure 18 illustrates the relations between the transmission channels and

these two types of connections.
FIGURE 18 RELATIONS BETWEEN VP/VC AND TRANSMISSION CHANNELS
VC VP VP VC
Transmission Channel
…
…
VC VP VP VC
A VC is a communication channel transferring ATM cells between two or

more ends.
A VP is a group of virtual paths with identical ends, and this group of

virtual paths is identified with an identical VPI (VP Identifier).
The ATM determines the source address and destination address of cells
according to the identifiers of VP and VC (VPI/VCI). Therefore, there are
two kinds of exchanges: VP exchange and VC exchange.
VP exchange
The VP exchange performs the exchange between virtual paths. The
VCI in this VP does not change after exchanging.
For example, as illustrated in Figure 19, after the VP (1) is exchanged
to VP (4), the value of VCI in VP (1) does not change.

FIGURE 19 VP EXCHANGE
VCI=1 VCI=1
VPI=1 VPI=2
VCI=2 VCI=2
…
VCI=1 VCI=1
VPI=5 VPI=4
VCI=2 VCI=2
VC exchange
The VC exchange involves the VP exchange and VC exchange at the
same time.
At first, the VP exchange is performed. After the VP connection
terminates, all virtual channels on that VP continue exchanging, and
are added into the destination VC finally.
For example, Figure 20 illustrates the VC exchange of two groups:
¾ Exchange between VP (1) VC (1) and VP (2) VC (3);
¾ Exchange between VP (1) VC (2) and VP (4) VC (4).
FIGURE 20 VC EXCHANGE
VC Exchange
VCI=1 VCI=2 VCI=4 VCI=3
VCI=1
VPI=1 VPI=2 VCI=3
VCI=2
VPI=4 VCI=4
VP Exchange
The eight-channel ATM processor board (AP1x8) of ZXMP S385 supports

the VP/VC exchange after configured in NetNumen T31.
Range of VPI/VCI Value

ATM services can be transmitted or received normally only when the
VP/VC connection is within the value range.
For UNI (user-to-network interface), the range of VPI value is 0 ~ 255.

For NNI (network-to-network interface), the range of VPI value is 0 ~

4095, and the range of VCI value is 1 ~ 16383.
AP1x8 board of ZXMP S385 meets the value range requirements above.
Transmission Priority of ATM Cells

The ATM service has four types:
Constant bit rate service (CBR)

Real-time variable bit rate service (rt-VBR)
Non-real-time variable bit rate service (nrt-VBR)
Unspecified bit rate service (UBR)
The ATM services transmission priority is: CBR > rt-VBR > nrt-VBR > UBR.
When the transmission flow of ATM services exceeds the maximum cell
flow traffic of the ATM equipment, the ATM equipment will discard cells
according to the priority of services once the congestion occurs.
The AP1x8 board provided by the ZXMP S385 has the above function.
VP-Ring Protection
The VP-Ring protection adopts the principle of concurrent transmitting and
preferred receiving with alarm supervision.
The standby VP connection of the receive direction will be selected when

alarms are found, such as VP-AIS (VP alarm indication signal), LOS (loss
of signal), LOF (loss of frame), OOF (out of frame), and LAIS (line alarm
indication signal). When the alarms disappear and no alarm appear after
the switching restore time, the previous active VP connection will recover
automatically.
The AP1x8 board of ZXMP S385 supports the enable and restore of VP-
Ring protection after configured in the NetNumen T31.
Tip: The ATM service type of CBR is recommended for testing the VP-Ring
protection
Protection between Layers

The AP1x8 board provided by ZXMP S385 can support the protection of
SDH layer and ATM layer. The protection of ATM layer refers to VP or VC
protection.
When the network fails, the SDH layer protection will be enabled first. If
the SDH layer protection fails after the protection switching delay of ATM
layer, the ATM layer protection will be enabled. Once the service recovers,
the ATM service will return to the working connection channel from
protection connection after switching restore time.

The delay of this protection ranges from 0 s to 10 s.
The switching restore time refers to the restore time of the ATM layer
protection. It ranges from 1 ms to 30 ms.
The AP1x8 board of ZXMP S385 can enable and restore the protection
between layers.
Tip:
The ATM service type of CBR is recommended for testing the protection
between layers.
The switching restore time of protection between layers refer to the restore
time of ATM layer protection.
ATM Transmission Performance

The ATM transmission performance represents the transmission quality of
ATM cells.
The cell transmission quality involves cell transfer delay (CTD), cell delay
variation (CDV), cell loss ratio (CLR), cell error ratio (CER), cell mis-
insertion ratio (CMR), and bit error ratio (BER).
To guarantee the transmission quality of ATM services, the requirements

of parameters specified above are different for ATM services of different
types (CBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VBR, and UBR).
AP1x8 board of ZXMP S385 supports ATM service types of CBR, rt-VBR,
nrt-VBR, or UBR. And the cell transmission quality of these services can be
supervised by data network analyzers.
External Interface Standards

The external interfaces refer to interfaces that connect the ZXMP S385
with other external equipment (such as digital distribution frame). The
ZXMP S385 external interfaces comply with the following international

Networking Modes
Point-to-Point Networking
The point-to-point network constructed with the ZXMP S385 supports
aggregate rates of STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, and STM-64. It is applicable to
large-capacity inter-office trunk and inter-office expansion.
ZXMP S385 equipment with the configuration of dual terminal multiplexers

(TM) can be used to build up a point-to-point network with 1+1 protection
or without protection. There is no protection for ZXMP S385 equipment as
a single TM.
Under the 1+1 protection mode, two aggregate boards protect each
other. This mode enhances the reliability of service transmission at the
price of the decrease of service access capability.
Under the non-protection mode, the service access capability is
improved while the transmission reliability may not be guaranteed.
The point-to-point networking of ZXMP S385 is illustrated in Figure 21.

FIGURE 21 POINT-TO-POINT NETWORKING OF THE ZXMP S385
Chain Network
The chain network with the application of ZXMP S385 equipment supports
aggregate rates of STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, and STM-64. It is applicable to
the toll backbone network, the telecommunication networks whose traffic
is distributed in a chain manner, and the chain branch networks at the ring
network side.
The chain network consists of TM and ADM equipment as illustrated in

Figure 22.

A 4-fiber chain can be configured with path protection or MS protection.

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

MS protection ring, or a 2-fiber unidirectional path switching ring at
STM-4/STM-16/STM-64 level.

The ring network of the ZXMP S385 is illustrated in Figure 23.

2-fiber unidirectional path switching ring

The ZXMP S385 can constitute 2-fiber unidirectional path switching
ring at STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, and STM-64 levels.
Figure 24 illustrates the single point configuration.
FIGURE 24 CONFIGURATION OF 2-FIBER UNIDIRECTIONAL P ATH SWITCHING RING OF

ZXMP S385
As shown in Figure 24, the working path and the protection path are
positioned in two optical transmission aggregates in opposite directions.
Their timeslots are configured in the EMS.
¾ Advantages of the path protection ring
It features the fast and flexible protection switching and capability
to provide switching at various capacity levels. The switching is
determined locally and is independent of the network topology.
It is applicable to various complex network topologies and is not
confined to the ring topology. Therefore, it is more applicable to
dynamic network environments, such as cellular telecommunication
network.
¾ Disadvantages of the path protection ring

All the tributary signals are in the structure of concurrent

transmitting and priority receiving. That means all the tributary
signals are transmitted to the receiving node in two directions
along the whole ring. Therefore, the total add/drop traffic of all NEs
(traffic of the ring) should be less than or equal to the system
capacity of ADM equipment.
It is applicable to the access network, trunk network, and toll network,
where the traffic is centralized and the capacity is relatively small.
2-fiber/4-fiber bidirectional MS switching ring (shared ring)
The ZXMP S385 can form a 2-fiber/4-fiber bidirectional MS switching
ring at STM-4/STM-16/STM-64 level. In a 2-fiber bidirectional MS
switching ring, each NE should have two aggregate boards; and in a 4-
fiber bidirectional MS switching ring, each NE should have four
aggregate boards.
Take four-fiber bidirectional MS switching ring as an example. Normally,
services are transmitted from node A to node D through node B and
node C, as shown in Figure 25. When faults occur between node B and
node C, the protection ring executes the ring switching, and the service
route is shown in Figure 26.

FIGURE 26 FOUR-FIBER BIDIRECTIONAL MS SWITCHING RING (SWITHCING)
When configuring the ZXMP S385 equipment to 2-fiber/4-fiber

bidirectional MS switching ring, the user can choose whether to carry
extra service or not.
The 2-fiber/4-fiber bidirectional MS switching ring is capable of
transmitting large amount of traffic. The maximum capacity of a 2-
fiber bidirectional MS protection ring can reach up to (K/2)×STM-N,
where “K” is the number of nodes in the ring and “STM-N” is the
highest rate of the ring; and with extra service. A 4-fiber bidirectional
MS protection ring at STM-N level has the maximum capacity of
K×STM-N.
¾ Advantages of the MS protection ring: large transmission capacity
and flexible switching.
¾ Disadvantages of the MS switching ring: fault response/recovery
time is relatively long due to the APS protocol to be processed.
They are applicable to the large-capacity transmission at STM-16/STM-
64 level, for trunk network or toll network with dispersed traffic.
DNI Networking
The rate of the ZXMP S385 DNI networking is determined by the rate of
the ring networks. The DNI network generally works at the rate of STM-16
or STM-64.
The DNI networking provides protections for multiple paths and key nodes.
It is applicable to the local transmission backbone network.
The DNI networking for the ZXMP S385 is illustrated in Figure 27.

FIGURE 27 DNI NETWORKING OF ZXMP S385
ADM ADM
ADM ADM
ADM ADM
ADM ADM
ADM ADM
Actually, the DNI network can be looked as a networking mode of two

interconnected ring networks. The interconnected ring networks can
provide inter-ring service protection. These two ring networks can be of
the same protection type, such as interconnected path rings, or of
different protection types, such as a path ring interconnected with a MS
ring.
Hybrid Networking
The ZXMP S385 equipment can work together with other transmission
equipments of ZTE for hybrid networking, such as ZXMP S330, ZXMP S380,
and ZXMP S390. For example, Figure 28 illustrates a hybrid network
composed of the ZXMP S385 and the ZXMP S330 equipment.
FIGURE 28 HYBRID NETWORKING OF ZXMP S385 2-FIBER RING WITH ZXMP S330 RING
The hybrid networking can provide service and orderwire interconnection.

The two ring networks can be configured in the same protection mode,
such as interconnected path rings, or in different protection modes, such
as a path ring interconnected with a MS ring.
Within the network in which SDH NEs (ZXMP S385, ZXMP S330, ZXMP
S380, ZXMP S390) and WDM NEs (ZXWM M900, ZXMP M800, ZXMP M600)

compatibly exist, connect interface Qx of SDH NEs with that of WDM NEs
by cross-connection cables, to implement the remote monitoring for WDM
NEs.

Board Configuration Description

In the ZXMP S385 system configuration, the components are divided into
two categories: mandatory components and optional components.
1. Mandatory components
¾ Motherboard
It is the carrier for all the boards.
¾ CSFP board
It is the core board for system service and is mandatory. The
standard configuration is two of such board which back up each
other. One of such board can be configured in the case of special
need.
¾ ANCP board
As the system nerve center, it is mandatory. One ANCP must be
configured. Configure two ANCPs in the case of 1+1 protection.
¾ QxI and SCI boards

QxI and SCI boards provide the NE with 1+1 power supply
protections.
2. Optional components
¾ Service board
It is used for system transmission services access and is optional.
Configure different service boards according to the specific service.
The slot number and board mechanical size restrict the number of
service boards to be configured.
¾ Orderwire board (OW)

It works to implement the orderwire phone and part of overhead
service and is optional. One OW board may be configured according
to specific user requirements.
Typical NE Configurations
ZXMP S385 employs the modular design. It can perform functions of TM,
ADM and REG in the same hardware system. The boards can perform the
functions of different systems such as TM, ADM and REG by only modifying
their NE management software configuration, without changing the
hardware. Multiple TMs, REGs and ADMs can be implemented in the same

subrack. The system equipment types and their applications in the

network are shown in Figure 30.

Networking Application of Multi-

Service Node Equipment
Ethernet Private Line (EPL)
EPL service has two accessing points through which the Ethernet service is
transparently transported point to point. Each subscriber’s service is
carried by the private SDH channel in EPL, so different subscribers have no
need to share bandwidth one another. Thus, EPL has the same bandwidth
guarantee and security performance as SDH.
Besides, it is a point-to-point transmission mode, so L2 switch and MAC

address learning are not needed.
Figure 34 shows a typical networking of EPL. The Ethernet service between

user X and user Y is transparently transmitted through MSTP equipment A
and J, as well as the passing-by sites such as B, C, D, E, F, G and H.

FIGURE 34 A TYPICAL NETWORKING OF EPL
Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL)

In EVPL, the subscribers can share the bandwidth with each other, which
is a main difference between EVPL and EPL. EVPL uses VLAN ID and other
mechanisms to distinguish the data from the different subscribers. If the
service varies with the subscriber, QoS mechanism is adopted then.
Because the subscribers’ services are only separated logically, as another

point-to-point transmission mode, EVPL has the security performance
lower than EPL.
Figure 35 shows a typical networking of EVPL. FE1 and FE2 are the service
belonging to user 1, FE3 and FE4 both are the service belonging to user 2.
The services of the user 1 and user 2 are isolated when passing by the
sites A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and J.

FIGURE 35 A TYPICAL NETWORKING OF EVPL
Ethernet Private LAN (EPLAN)

EPLAN, as a point to multi-point transmission mode, can guarantee the
bandwidth and isolate the service perfectly, so the subscribers have no
need to share the SDH bandwidth. Meanwhile, EPLAN has no need to
adopt QoS and security mechanism.
Because multi points are involved in an EPLAN networking, the data is

transferred based on MAC address, so the functions of MAC address
learning and L2 switch are needed.
Figure 36 show a typical networking of EPLAN. The services of two braches

Z and Y of the user pass through the SDH network formed by the timeslots,
then converge at the central node X. Moreover, the bandwidth is exclusive
from each branch to the central.

FIGURE 36 A TYPICAL NETWORKING OF EPLAN
Ethernet Virtual Private LAN (EVPLAN)

EPLAN can be achieved in virtue of MPLS, VLAN stack (Q-in-Q) and other
technologies. From the point of user view, the network of the carriers is
like a LAN because of EVPLAN. The difference between EPLAN and EVPLAN
is that the user of EVPLAN should share the bandwidth. EVPLAN has the
especial attributes about protection, usability, bandwidth, MAC address
learning and data frame transferring.
Figure 37 shows a typical networking of EVPLAN. The services FE3 and FE5
of user 1 converge as the service FE1 at site M through site A and site J.
The services FE4 and FE5 of user 2 converge as the service FE2 at site M
through site A and site J. The services of user 1 and user 3 are isolated by
MPLS label in the SDH transmission channel.

FIGURE 37 A TYPICAL NETWORKING OF EVPLAN
RPR Service Networking

Configured with RSEB board, ZXMP S385 can perform the mapping from
Ethernet service to RPR (Resilient Packet Ring) and complete the unique
function of RPR. In addition, it can make use of the path bandwidth
resource of SDH/MSTP ring network, to offer the dual-ring topology
required by RPR and realize the ring connection of RPR nodes.
The system side of RSEB board offers two RPR SPAN ports and four EOS
ports. The RPR SPAN port can connect one 155 Mbit/s traffic to a
bidirectional RPR ring of 1.25 Gbit/s. The EOS port is used for RPR service
cross-ring or interworking with EOS board such as SEC and MSE.
Taking the RSEB board as example, Figure 38 shows an application of RPR

ring network.

RPR is a dual-ring structure which is similar to the topology of SDH

bidirectional MS ring. It is composed of two ringlets with opposite
directions. The ringlet with clockwise direction is called ringlet 0, and that
with counter-clockwise direction is called ringlet 1. When configuring the
RSEB board to be a RPR ring, it is necessary to connect the SPAN1 port
with the neighbored SPAN2 port in the RPR ring, as shown in Figure 38.
ATM Service Application

Configured with AP1x8 board, ZXMP S385 has the ATM data process
function of MAN equipment.
The AP1x8 board offers eight 155 Mbit/s optical interfaces at the ATM side
for ATM service accessing, and it can perform local switching at VP/VC
level via its switching module. At the system side, the AP1x8 board offers
one 622 Mbit/s system interface that can enable long-haul transmission of
ATM service over the SDH optical network after configuration in the
NetNumen T31 EMS.
Figure 39 shows a typical networking application using AP1x8 boards.

ATM service access

In Figure 39, a single node accesses ATM service in the method of 8:1
bandwidth convergence with the rate of 155 Mbit/s.
According to the ring network rate, ATM service data can share one
VC-4 or each occupies a VC-4 path. In addition, the ring network can
access ATM backbone switch or higher-order SDH ring network via a
certain node.
Requirement of AP1x8 board configuration
Configure the AP1x8 board at each node that accesses ATM service, so
as to implement the bandwidth convergence function and improve the
bandwidth utilization ratio. The other nodes in the ring network do not
need such configuration.
ATM service protection
ATM service supports the SDH-layer protection and ATM-layer
protection, among which the ATM-layer protection refers to VP or VC
protection and is performed by AP1x8 board.
In case of network fault, SDH-layer protection is first started. If the
ATM-layer protection switching delay has passed and the SDH-layer
protection is still invalid, the ATM-layer protection is started. After the
service recovers, ATM service will return from the protection path to
the previous working path after the switching recovery time passed.

Application Example
Assume that an optical transmission project needs to use 10 Gbit/s SDH
optical transmission equipment for communications among sites A, B, C,
and D. The physical locations of these sites are shown in Figure 40.
FIGURE 40 SITE LOCATIONS

Service Requirements among the sites:
Between site A and site B: two STM-1 optical signal services

Between site A and site C: two STM-1 optical signal services, and a
transparent transmission Ethernet electrical service with the rate less
than 1000 Mbit/s
Between site A and site D: two STM-1 optical signal services, and ATM
service
Between site B and site D: fifty 2 M services
Orderwire telephone is available among the sites.
Note: The STM-1 services are the short-haul services.
Networking Analysis
1. Determine the equipment and rate.
The network aggregate rate is 10 Gbit/s. It is recommended to install
the ZTE ZXMP S385 at the rate of STM-64 at sites A, B, C, and D.
2. Determine the network topology

Determine the network topology according to the sites and services
distributions. Use the ring network as much as possible if the route
allows or the cables and fibers are enough, because the ring network
has good self-healing capability. Hybrid networking can be considered
for complex site distribution.
In this example, it is recommend to use the ring network according to

the sites geographical locations and service distributions.

3. Determine the protection mode

Configure the ring network to be an STM-64 multiplex section
protection ring to improve the system reliability.
4. Determine the EMS and access NE

Select to install the EMS according to the equipment type. The selected
EMS should be able to ensure unified management of different kinds of
devices in the network as much as possible. The access NE refers to
the NE that accesses the EMS computer. Usually the access NE is
placed at the site where the service traffic is relatively centralized.
Decide whether the connection between the EMS and access NE is local
or remote. In the case of a remote EMS, determine the type of the
communication network.
This example uses the NetNumen T31 as the EMS because the network
is composed of ZXMP S385. The access NE is placed at site A where
the traffic is the heaviest. The connection between the EMS and the
access NE is local.
5. Determine the clock source and network head NE

Determine the clock source according to the user requirements. The
clock sources include the external clock, line clock, and internal clock.
The network head NE refers to the NE configured as the clock source.
The network synchronization clock is obtained from this NE. Usually,
configure the network head NE and the access NE to be the same NE in
order to make the daily equipment maintenance easy.
In this example, NE A is set as the network head NE, and the clock
source type is internal clock.
The system networking diagram got from the above analysis is shown
in Figure 41.

Structural Part Configuration

1. Cabinet configuration
ZXMP S385 provides three kinds of cabinets of height 2000 mm, 2200
mm, and 2600 mm respectively. Choose one of them according to the
equipment room circumstances and the service requirements. In this
case, it is assumed that each site is configured with a ZXMP S385
cabinet 2200 mm high.
2. Equipment component configuration

The equipment components include the power distribution box, subrack,
fan plug-in box, and dustproof unit. The number of equipment
components varies with cabinets. Each 2200 mm cabinet is configured
with one of power distribution box, subrack, fan plug-in box, and
dustproof unit respectively.
Fiber Pigtail and Cable Configurations

1. Fiber pigtail configuration
The types of the ZXMP S385 optical interface connectors are all LC/PC.
Configure the fiber pigtail as LC/PC-FC/PC if the optical interface
connector type for the service to be connected is FC/PC; configure the
fiber pigtail as LC/PC-SC/PC if the optical interface connector type for
the service to be connected is SC/PC.
Each optical interface is configured with two fiber pigtails, and the total
number is subject to the actual project requirements.
2. 2 M cable
The EIE1 board of the ZXMP S385 provides 63 channels of 2 M signals,
and the interface is 75 Ω. Therefore, use the 75 Ω unbalanced micro-
coaxial cable.
3. Ethernet cable
An Ethernet cable is used to connect an NE and the EMS. Use the
cross-connect Ethernet cable if the EMS and the access NE connect
directly; Use the standard Ethernet cable if the EMS and the access NE
connect via HUB.
4. External power cord and grounding cable

External power cords include two groups of -48 V power cord and -48
V GND power cord. One group connects to the air switch and the other
connects to the -48 V GND binding post of the power distribution box.
The grounding cables include the system working ground cable (GND)
and the lightning protection ground cable (PGND). They connect to the
corresponding grounding busbars in the equipment room.
Note: Refer to Unitrans ZXMP S385 (V3.00) SDH Based Multi-Service Node
Equipment Installation Manual for the detailed specifications of the fiber pigtails
and cables. The lengths of these cables are subject to the project survey data.

Networking Configuration
Networking configurations are implemented by NetNumen T31 EMS. There
are two kinds of typical flows.
1. Create the NE as online

Create an online NE → Select the access NE → Install boards →
Connect the NE → Configure the MS protection → Configure services →
Configure overheads → Configure clock sources → Configure orderwire
→ Extract the NCP time
2. Create the NE as offline

Create an offline NE → Select the access NE → Install boards →
Connect the NE → Configure the MS protection → Configure services →
Configure overheads → Configure clock sources → Configure orderwire
After the above configurations, modify the offline NE to be online,

download the NE database, and finally extract the NCP time.
Note: Refer to the NetNumen T31 EMS/SNMS operation manual for the detailed
operations of networking configuration.
Application Features
This networking example employs the ring network topology, and the
protection method is the two-fiber bidirectional multiplex section
protection ring.
When any site in the ring network fails or the fiber is broken, the service
will not be affected and the transmission will continue by switching to the
protection mode due to the network self-healing function and the warm
backup functions of the critical boards.
The multiplex section protection ring enables the repetitive use of

timeslots in the ring. The maximum service capacity of the ring network
can reach as much as K/2×STM-N (K refers to the number of nodes in the
ring network, STM-N is the maximum rate of the ring network). Thus the
maximum service capacity of this networking example is 2×STM-64.
This networking mode is applicable to the transmission backbone networks

with scattered nodes (sites) and high service reliability requirement.


Appendix A
Introduction to Logic Sub-

network
Overview
With the development of SDH technology, network rate and the number of
VCs increase accordingly. In practice, SDH network topology structure
becomes more complicated. Since services carried in VCs are different and
have different requirements for network security, protection and
management of traditional network become more difficult.
ZTE brought forward the concept of logic sub-network protection to meet

various requirements for network to bear services. Logic sub-network
protection can support more complex network structures, enhance
network security, and increase bandwidth utilization.
Logic sub-network is the result to divide network based on physical

network, logic topology, and logic capacity. One physical network can be
divided into several logic sub-networks. Logic sub-network is independent
to each other.
ZXMP S385 has abundant service interfaces and great service capacity. It
can compose complex node. Meanwhile, since it adopts advanced design,
it can divide one physical equipment into multiple logic equipments, such
as multiple ADMs, TMs, or REGs. The logic equipments are independent
from each other, and they can implement service cross-connect via the
cross-connect network. The system can well adapt to network and satisfy
requirement of complicated network application.

Divisions of Logic Sub-networks

For ZXMP S385, logic sub-networks can be divided as per:
Service type
Capacity
Protection mode
Network topology
The above rules to divide sub-networks have gone far beyond the concept
of multiple ADMs. This demonstrates advanced technology of ZXMP S385.
Dividing Logic Sub-network by Service

Type
Logic sub-networks can be divided by service types, as shown in Figure 42.

Physical network carries various services such as Voice, IP and ATM.

Services are distributed in network. Alarm messages of these services are
different. Physical network can be divided into logic sub-networks for
management and configuration functions.
Each logic sub-network implements alarm monitoring, performance report,

service configuration, and functional maintenance of itself. In this way,
logic sub-network simplifies maintenance and management of network,
makes maintenance and management not limited by physical equipment,
brings maintenance and management to logic network layer, and makes
hierarchy clear. A1, A2 and A3 are three logic sub-equipments in network
A, whose types can be ADM, REG, or TM, subject to their positions in
network.

Dividing Logic Sub-network by Capacity

Logic sub-network can be divided by capacity. A network can be divided

into logic sub-networks as per the capacity required by each sub-network.
This method is suitable for operator to lease network to customers.
As shown in Figure 43, suppose an operator uses his own network and
meanwhile leases network to customer. And the customer wants to
manage and configure the leased network by himself. Then, the traditional
network management mode is difficult to meet the customer’s
requirement. Logic sub-network can solve the problem. The operator can
divide his network into logic sub-networks as per the capacity requirement
of customers, and assign the logic sub-networks to customers so that they
can manage their own logic sub-networks independently.
Dividing Logic Sub-network by Network

Topology
Logic sub-networks can be divided by network topology, as shown in
Figure 44.

In Figure 44, the physical network consists of two tangent rings. As per
the service assignment, the physical network can be divided into two logic
sub-networks that have no cross-ring service, and one logic sub-network
that has cross-ring service.
This division method is very useful when network topology is very

complicated. It can classify cross-ring services that pass different nodes
into one logic sub-network, thus simplifies logic network topology,
optimizes protection and management of network, and increase security of
the whole network.
Dividing Logic Sub-network by Protection

Mode
Logic sub-networks can be divided by protection mode, as shown in
Figure 45.

and RPR. Each protection is implemented in the logic sub-network and

does not affect each other.
In a network composed by ZXMP S385, multiple protection modes can co-

exist in one fiber, thus breaks through the limits of network protection
modes described in relative international recommendations. This makes
network more flexible and safer, and satisfies users’ requirements for
actual networking.
