2 SAFETY NORMS AND LABELS
2.1 First aid for electric shock

Do not touch the patient with bare hands until the circuit has been opened.
Open the circuit by switching off the line switches. If that is not possible, protect yourself with dry
material and free the patient from the conductor.
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION
It is important to start mouth to mouth resuscitation at once and seek medical help immediately.
TREATMENT OF BURNS
This treatment should be used after the patient has regained consciousness. It can also be employed
while the artificial respiration is being applied (in this case there should be at least two persons
present).
WARNING:
• Do not attempt to remove his clothing from the burnt parts;
• Apply dry gauze on the burns;
• Do not apply ointments or other oily substances.
ED 1
3AL 94322 AA AA
Page19
Mouth to mouth resuscitation method
Lay the patient supine with his arms parallel with the body, if the patient is laying
1 on an inclined plane, make sure that his stomach is slightly lower than his chest.
Open the patient's mouth and check that there are no extraneous bodies in his
mouth (dentures, chewing-gum etc.),
Kneel beside the patient level with his head. Put

a hand under the patient's head and one under
2 his neck (see fig.) Lift the patient's head and let
it recline backwards as far as possible
Shift the hand from the patient's neck to is chin:

place your thumb between his chin and his
mouth, the index along his jawbone, and keep the
3 other fingers closed together (see fig.). While
performing these operations take a good supply
of oxygen by taking deep breaths with your
mouth open.
With your thumb between the patient's chin and

4 mouth keep his lips together and blow into his
nasal cavities (see fig.)
While performing these operations observe if the

patient's chest rises (see fig.) If not it is possible
that his nose is blocked: in that case open the
patient's mouth as much as possible by pressing
on his chin with your hand, place your lips around
his mouth and blow into his oral cavity. Observe
5 if the patient's chest heaves. This second
method can be used instead of the first even
when the patient's nose is kept closed by
pressing the nostrils together using the hand you
were holding his head with. The patient's head
must be kept sloping backwards as much as
possible.
6 Start with ten rapid expirations, hence continue at a rate of twelve/fifteen

expirations per minute. Go on like this until the patient has regained
consciousness, or until a doctor has ascertained his death.

DANGER! Possibility of eyes damage: invisible infrared radiations emitted

by the fiber optic transmitters can cause eyes damages. Carefully observe the specific procedures for
installation / turn-up and commissioning / maintenance of units containing laser devices or cables
transporting optical signals, described in the relevant installation / turn-up and commissioning /
maintenance documents and the following general rules:
a) Laser radiation is not visible by the naked eye or with laser safety glasses. Although it cannot be
seen, laser radiation may be present.
b) Never look directly into a not terminated fiber optic connector or into a broken optical fiber cable,
unless it is absolutely known that no laser radiation is present.
c) Never look at an optical fiber splice, cable or connector, unless it is absolutely known that no
laser radiation is present.
d) All optical connectors, terminating either fibers and transmitters/receivers, are provided with
protective covers that must always be used, as soon as possible, when any optical link is
disconnected for installation/test/maintenance purposes or whatever operation.
e) Never look directly into a not terminated fiber optic connector or into a broken optical fiber cable
by means of magnifiers/microscopes, unless it is absolutely known that no laser radiation is
present. A magnifier/microscope greatly increases the damage hazard to the eyes.
f) Never point a not terminated optical fiber splice, cable or connector to other persons, unless it is
absolutely known that no laser radiation is present.
g) Always remove electrical power from near and far optical transmitters before disconnecting

5 GENERAL ON ALCATEL CUSTOMER DOCUMENTATION
5.1 Products, product–releases, versions and Customer Documentation

A ”product” is defined by the network hierarchical level where it can be inserted and by the whole of
performance and services for which it is meant.
A ”product” evolves through successive ”product–releases” which are the real products marketed
for their delivery at a certain ”product–release” availability date.
So, a ”product-release” defines a set of hardware components and a software package which, as a
whole, identify the possible network applications and the equipment performance which the specific
”product–release” has been designed, engineered and marketed for.
In some cases a ”product–release” has further development steps, named ”versions”, that are born
to improve or add some performance (mainly software) with respect to the previous version, or for bug
fixing purposes.
A ”product–release” has its own standard Customer Documentation, composed by one or more
handbooks.
ED 1
3AL 94322 AA AA
Page52
A new ”version” of a ”product–release” may or may not produce a change in the status of the
Customer Documentation set, as described in para.5.4 on page 50.
5.2 Handbook supplied to Customers

Handbooks are not automatically delivered together with the equipment they refer to.
The number of handbooks per type to be supplied must be decided at contract level.
5.3 Aims of standard Customer Documentation

Standard Customer Documentation, referred to hereafter, must be always meant as plant–
independent.
Plant–dependent documentation, if envisaged by the contract, is subjected to commercial criteria as
far as contents, formats and supply conditions are concerned (plant–dependent documentation is not
described here).
Standard hardware and software documentation is meant to give the Customer personnel the
possibility and the information necessary for installing, commissioning, operating and maintaining the
equipment according to Alcatel Laboratory design choices.
In particular: the contents of the handbooks associated to the software applications focus on the
explanation of the man–machine interface and of the operating procedures allowed by it; maintenance
is described down to faulty PCB location and replacement.
Consequently, no supply to the Customers of design documentation (like PCB hardware design and
production documents and files, software source programs, programming tools, etc.) is envisaged.
The handbooks concerning hardware (usually the ”Technical Handbook”) and software (usually the
”Operator’s Handbook”) are kept separate in that any product changes do not necessarily concern
their contents.
For example, only the Technical Handbook might be revised because of hardware configuration
changes (e.g., replacing a unit with one having different P/N but the same function).
On the other hand, the Operator’s Handbook is updated because of a new software version but
which does not concern the Technical Handbook as long as it does not imply hardware
modifications.
However, both types of handbooks can be updated to improve contents, correct mistakes, etc..
ED 1
3AL 94322 AA AA
Page53
5.4 Handbook Updating
The handbooks associated to the ”product-release” are listed in para. 1.3 on page 14.
Each handbook is identified by:

- the name of the ”product–release” (and ”version” when the handbook is applicable to the
versions starting from it, but not to the previous ones),
- the handbook name,
- the handbook P/N,
- the handbook edition (usually first edition=01),
- the handbook issue date. The date on the handbook does not refer to the date of print but to the
date on which the handbook source file has been completed and released for the production.
5.4.1 Changes introduced in the same product–release (same handbook P/N)
The edition and date of issue might change on future handbook versions for the following reasons:
- only the date changes (pointed out in the Table of Contents) when modifications are made to the
editorial system not changing the technical contents of the handbook.
- the edition, hence the date, is changed because modifications made concern technical contents.
In this case:
• the chapters modified with respect to the previous edition are listed in Table 6. on page 18;
• in affected chapters, revision bars on the left of the page indicate modifications in text and
drawings.
Changes concerning the technical contents of the handbook cause the edition number increase (e.g.
from Ed.01 to Ed.02). Slight changes (e.g. for corrections) maintain the same edition but with the
addition of a version character (e.g. from Ed.02 to Ed.02A). Version character can be used for draft or
proposal editions.
NOTES FOR HANDBOOKS RELEVANT TO SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS
Handbooks relevant to software applications (typically the Operator’s Handbooks) are not
modified unless the new software ”version” distributed to Customers implies man-machine
interface changes or in case of slight modifications not affecting the understanding of the
explained procedures.
Moreover, should the screen prints included in the handbook contain the product–release’s
”version” marking, they are not replaced in the handbooks related to a subsequent version,
if the screen contents are unchanged.
5.4.1.1 Supplying updated handbooks to Customers
Supplying updated handbooks to Customers who have already received previous issues is submitted
to commercial criteria.
By updated handbook delivery it is meant the supply of a complete copy of the handbook new issue
(supplying errata-corrige sheets is not envisaged).
5.4.2 Changes due to a new product–release
A new product–release changes the handbook P/N and the edition starts from 01.
ED 1
3AL 94322 AA AA
Page54
In this case the modified parts of the handbook are not listed.
5.5 Customer documentation supplied on CD-ROM

In the following ’CD-ROM’ means ’Customer Documentation on CD-ROM’.
5.5.1 Contents, creation and production of a CD-ROM
In most cases, a CD-ROM contains in read-only electronic format the documentation of one product-
release(-version) and for a certain language.
In some other cases, the same CD-ROM can contain the documentation of different product-release(-
version)s for a certain language.
As a general rule:
- CD-ROMs for Network Management products do not contain:
• the Installation Guides
• the documentation of system optional features that Customers could not buy from Alcatel
together with the main applicative SW.
- CD-ROMs for Network Elements products do not contain:
• the documentation of system optional features (e.g. System Installation Handbooks related
to racks that Customers could not buy from Alcatel together with the main equipment).
A CD-ROM is obtained collecting various handbooks and documents in .pdf format. Bookmarks and
hyperlinks make the navigation easier. No additional information is added to each handbook, so that
the documentation present in the CD-ROMs is exactly the same the Customer would receive on
paper.
The files processed in this way are added to files/images for managing purpose and a master CD-
ROM is recorded.
Suitable checks are made in order to have a virus-free product.
After a complete functional check, the CD-ROM image is electronically transferred to the archive of
the Production Department, so that the CD-ROM can be produced and delivered to Customers.
ED 1
3AL 94322 AA AA
Page55
5.5.2 Use of the CD-ROM
The CD-ROM can be used both in PC and Unix WS environments.
The CD-ROM starts automatically with autorun and hyperlinks from the opened “Index” document
permit to visualize the .pdf handbooks.
Other hyperlinks permit to get, from the Technical handbooks, the specific .pdf setting documents.
In order to open the .pdf documents Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 4.0 (minimum) must have been
installed on the platform.
The CD-ROM doesn’t contain the Adobe Acrobat Reader program. The Customer is in charge of
getting and installing it.
ReadMe info is present on the CD-ROM to this purpose.
Then the Customer is allowed to read the handbooks on the PC/WS screen, using the navigation and
zooming tools included in the tool, and to print selected parts of the documentation through a local
printer.
5.5.3 CD-ROM identification
Each CD-ROM is identified:
1) by the following external identifiers, that are printed both on the booklet and the CD-ROM
upper surface:
- the name of the ”product-release(s)” (and ”version” if applicable),
- a writing indicating the language(s),
- the CD-ROM P/N (Factory P/N and ANV P/N),
- the CD-ROM edition (usually first edition=01)
2) and, internally, by the list of the source handbooks and documents (P/Ns and editions) by
whose collection and processing the CD-ROM itself has been created.
5.5.4 CD-ROM updating
The list of source handbook/document P/Ns-editions indicated in previous para. 5.5.3 point 2 ), in
association with the CD-ROM own P/N-edition, is also loaded in the Alcatel-Information-System as a
structured list.
Whenever a new edition of any of such handbooks/documents is released, a check is made in the
Alcatel-Information-System to identify the list of CD-ROMs that must be updated to include the new
editions of these handbooks/documents.
This causes the planning and creation of a new edition of the CD-ROM.
Updating of CD-ROMs always follows, with a certain delay, the updating of the single handbooks
composing the collection.

1 GENERAL
1.1 Introduction to the equipment

The Alcatel 1626 Light Manager (1626 LM in the following) is the new platform of Dense Wavelength
Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Multi Reach systems for Regional, National, Pan-continental Networks.
The Alcatel 1626 LM addresses terrestrial applications from Metro-Core (few hundreds of kilometers)
to Ultra Long-Haul (up to 4500 km) and unrepeatered submarine applications (400 Km single span),
from average capacity for regional networks up to large capacity for pan-continental networks (up to
192 wavelengths).
The Alcatel 1626 LM is designed to address efficiently green field applications for new networks and
links as well as to upgrade legacy platforms without traffic interruption. Carriers can keep their
installed DWDM base and increase its capacity by loading new wavelengths from the 1626 LM. This
provides to carriers a state-of-art technology and advanced features without wasting the investment
previously granted.
The Alcatel 1626 LM Release 3.0 is introducing the Reconfigurable OADM functionality to deliver to
network operators the solution to the planning dilemma.
When the network requirements are very depending on the traffic matrix and in those cases where the
network evolution (where traffic will be located, what traffic will be asked...) cannot be easily predicted,
the reconfigurable OADM can bring added value.
R-OADM is bringing to the network the following advantages: any node to any node support, gain
equalization functionality, reducing truck rolls.
Managing evolving networks: any node to any node support without planning constraints.
In a fairly unpredictable condition, the forecast errors have to be managed; a WDM with fixed OADM
force to define the plan of wavelength to be dedicated to a given node while the R-OADM allows each
node to drop from 0 to 100% of the traffic without any planning.
When the WDM system is getting filled, the transmission parameters will need to be adapted; with a
fixed OADM this will require manual intervention on the nodes that could lead to service interruption;
with R-OADM the network will automatically adapt to the new load conditions, through the TMN,
keeping services always on.
What if the traffic matrix in the access changes? Fixed OADM based network would need to
reconsider each node situation, while R-OADM just light up the needed wavelengths and turn of the
obsolete ones. Transponder full tunability will allow reusing the freed resource in a given node for
other services to be lit-up.
Delivering Programmable Gain Equalizer functionality: Improving unregenerated performance

and easy (automated) line tuning at upgrade.
Thanks to ROADM technology each channel, in a given node, can be dropped or passed through an
active module with single channel attenuation control. This provides programmablee gain equalizer
(power/OSNR management) to improve transmission performance without regeneration. Fairly
performance-stressing networks (i.e VLH/ULH) can be realized with a considerable reduction of the
HW needed.
Reducing truck rolls: R-OADM as reconfigurable transit gate.

Whenever there is a need for a new connection, which falls outside the planned traffic evolution,
between two ending points a minimal field activity need to be carried out.

System capacity
The Alcatel 1626 LM provides a modular transmission capacity on a single optical fiber by
multiplexing:
• up to 96 x 10Gbps channels on a 50GHz grid in the Extended C-band (1530nm-

>1568.6nm)
• up to 32 x 10Gbps channels on a 100 GHz grid in the standard C-band (1529.55nm-

>1561.42nm).
Furthermore, the architecture is compatible with the future introduction of 40Gbps signal.
System structure
The Alcatel 1626 LM architecture is based on a single universal shelf that can be configured in
different ways to support a variety of applications. The main building blocks (interfaces, mux/demux,
optical amplifiers, protection boards, ...) can be allocated in the universal shelf in a very flexible way.
As a result the footprint and the cost of the system configuration is optimized.
The system structure is based on transponders, mux/demux and optical amplifiers. The transponders
are connected to optical Muxes/Demuxes which manage the main DWDM signal (combined signal)
and launch it in the fibre by means of optical amplifiers.
The Alcatel 1626 LM Release 3.0 supports the following main categories of 3R transponders:
- 10Gbps Tributary Direct transponders with 10 Gbps line rate, optimized for Very Long Haul
applications, G. 709 compliant
- 4x2.5Gbps Tributary Concentrator transponders with 10 Gbps line rate, optimized for Very Long
Haul applications, G. 709 compliant
- Multi Clock Card (multirate from 100 Mbs to 2.666 Gbs) Transponders with up to 2.666 Gbps line
rate, optimized for Long Haul applications.
According to G.709 Rec, both UNI signals at 2.488/9.95Gbps and NNI signals at 2.666/10.709 Gbps
are supported by the client side interface of the transponder platform. Completion of G.709 support is
insured via software or firmware upgrades.
Details of supported client rates and types is delivered in para. 3.1.1 on page 151 and para. 5.3.1 on
page 274.
The Alcatel 1626 LM Line Terminal or Optical Add Drop NE (Reconfigurable or Fixed) configurations
consist of modular Mux/Demux architectures.
Three main Mux/Demux architectures are supported depending on the target grid and application:
- 50 GHz based architecture supporting up to 96 chs and upgradable to 192 chs in future releases
- 100 GHz based architecture supporting up to 32 chs
- 100 GHz and 50 GHz mixed architecture supporting up to 48 chs.
The 50 GHz grid architecture is based on sub-bands that can be equipped with up to 8 channels. The
system capacity can be scaled up to a maximum of 12 bands for a total capacity of 96 channels.
Release 3.0 supports terminal configuration as well as Band-OADM and fully Reconfigurable OADM
architectures. They deliver a fully configurable flexibility to access any wavelength in any site in point-
to-point, ring or meshed networks. ROADM configuration extends the network flexibility by supporting
a remote traffic path re-configuration. Fully reconfigurable optical networks based on R-OADM
technology will allow rapid reaction to unforeseen events, quicker service delivery, and accelerated
revenue generation.
ED 1
3AL 94322 AA AA
Page61
The 100 GHz grid architecture is based on sub-bands that can be equipped with up to 8 channels.
The system capacity can be scaled up to a maximum of 4 bands for a total capacity of 32 channels.
Release 3.0 supports Line Terminal configuration as well as OADM architecture with single
wavelength granularity capability. They deliver the full flexibility to access any wavelength in any site in
point-to-point, ring or meshed networks. The fully Reconfigurable OADM architecture, extending the
flexibility to include the remote path configuration, will support the 100 GHz grid in a coming release.
The 100 GHz and 50 GHz mixed architecture is based on sub-bands that can be equipped with up to
8 channels. Up to 16 channels are supported into the 100 GHz grid sub-bands and up to further 32
channels can be supported in the 50 GHz sub-bands for a total capacity of up to 48 channels. Release
3.0 supports Line Terminal configuration as well as OADM architecture. They deliver the fully flexibility
to access any wavelength in any site in point-to-point, ring or meshed networks.
Details on system configuration are delivered in Chapter 3 on page 143.
The Alcatel 1626 LM Release 3.0 supports Line Optical Fibers Amplifiers (LOFA) in Line Terminal,
OADM, R-OADM and Line Repeater sites. Line Optical Fiber Amplifiers are based on Erbium Doped
Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) technology and they are designed to amplify the aggregate/line signal, in the
extended C-band.
Band Optical Fiber Amplifiers (BOFA) are also foreseen by the 1626 LM architecture for dedicated
applications. Band Optical Fiber Amplifiers are designed to amplify one band (8-ch) and they will be
supported in a future release.

Figure 14. Example of 1626 LM configurations in a WDM line
- Flexible and scalable architecture

The 1626 LM design allows to begin with a partially equipped configuration (e.g.: 8 channels) that
can be progressively upgraded as the traffic demand grows, with a 8 or 4 chs channels chs (the
latter in case of 100 GHz grid mux demux boards) mux/demux granularity. In particular, from the
initial configuration, the transmission capacity can be increased without interrupting the existing
traffic.
- Unsurpassed platform density

Up to 16 x 10Gbps optical channels in a single shelf, up to 48 x 10Gbps optical channels in a
single rack. Up to 88x10Gbps system or up to 352x2.5 Gbps interfaces are supported in only two
racks. In 1626 LM release 3.0 up to two racks are managed and in coming release larger rack
number configurations will be managed.
- Traffic Flexibility via Optical Add Drop functionality.

The Alcatel 1626 LM R3.0 provides the add/drop capability by means of
• Channel OADM for 100 GHz compatible architecture providing
- Add/drop up to 100% of the transported capacity
- Independent management of each single channel
- Optical pass-thru (no regeneration) of all the channels that are not extracted.
• Band OADM for 50 GHz compatible architecture providing
- add/drop up to 100% of the traffic
- Optimized architecture for improved OADM cascadability
- Optical pass thru (no regeneration) of all the bands that are not extracted
• Reconfigurable OADM providing
- Add/drop up to 100% of the transported capacity
- Independent management of each single channel
- Optical pass thru (no regeneration) of all the channels that are not extracted
- Remote OADM SW configuration delivering flexibility in the traffic path configuration
- Programmable Gain equalization to optimize transmission performances.
- Time multiplexing functionalities

Alcatel 1626 LM R3.0 is supporting fully transparent G.709 compliant multiplexing of four
2.5Gbps/OTU-1 input signals into one 10 Gbps wavelength. Fully transparent multiplexing is
achieved via the G.709 defined mapping of four ODU-1 into one ODU-2.
Multiplexing functionality of Gbe input client rates is also supported by the 1626 LM platform.
Direct mapping of nine GbE input signals into a 10 Gbps signal and of two GbE inputs into a
2.5Gbs signal will be supported by the 1626 LM in a coming release.

- Full C band tunable laser
Alcatel 1626 LM R3.0 is supporting full C-band tunable laser functionality on 10 Gbps interfaces.
This is delivering not only important cost saving in managing the spare parts, but also a major
reduction of the logistical issues associated to network upgrade planning.
Tunable laser on 2.5 Gbps tributary is planned in a coming release.
ED 1
3AL 94322 AA AA
Page64
- Raman amplification
Extension of achievable span performances is possible thru Raman amplification. This is
especially useful to mitigate the penalty associated to the presence of very long spans in a link.
Raman amplification is supported thru the interconnection to a dedicated Raman shelf.
- Automatic Pre-emphasis Adjustment (APA)

APA is the Alcatel unique algorithm to adjust the optical power of the tributaries. It is based on
BER measurement, the only real network performance parameter that is used for Quality-Of-
Service evaluation.
APA is requiring no extra hardware as relying on internal tributary measurements. Therefore no
embedded OSA is necessary, delivering important cost saving with respect to alternative
algorithms based on OSNR monitoring.
APA is optimizing the system performances as capable to monitor all the transmission
impairments thru the BER measurements.
- Programmable Gain Equalization

The Programmable Gain Equalization enables to increase the span reach by compensating the
non-perfect gain flatness of the optical amplifiers. PGE functionality is leveraging on wavelength
blocker technology and it is supported into R-OADM configuration sites. Programmable Gain
Equalization functionality in Line Repeater sites will be supported in a future release.
- SFP optics
SFPs are optical transceivers that enable to customize the transponder user interface in a very
flexible way. 1626 LM R3.0 is supporting pluggable SFP standard compliant optics for the host
interface of the 4x2.5Gbps Tributary Concentrator transponder and for the Multi Clock Card
interface. Pluggable host interfaces for 10 Gbs rates will be supported in a future release.
- 1+1 Bidirectional Optical Protection.

The 1+1 optical protection allows to completely protects the optical path, including cable,
amplifiers, mux/demux and transponders. High reliability is obtained by redundancy of the
transmission HW.
The additional following protection types are planned in future releases:
• 1:1 OMS protection, devoted to the protection of both the cable cuts and Line amplifier
failures
• 1:N bidirectional Lambda protection
- Supervision
In order to supervise all the NEs along a WDM path an optional Optical Supervisory Channel
(OSC) @ 4864 Kbps, is inserted in a 1510nm out-of-band wavelength and added to the
aggregate signal. In 1626 LM Release 3.0 the used capacity of the OSC channel for Data
Communication Channel (DCC) is 2 Mbs.
- Multishelf configurations
Multishelf configuration management to support large capacity networks. Configurations of two
racks with up to six shelves are supported in R3.0. Upgrade to even wider configuration in
coming releases.
- Automatic laser control

This feature facilitates the loading of the system with a few number of modulated channels or to
compensate for the loss of some modulated channels

- LOFA stands for Line Optical Fiber Amplifier, designed to amplify the aggregate signal (all the
extended C-band)
- OSCU stands for Optical Supervisory Channel Unit, allowing the NE management: OSC is
extracted (inside LOFA) from the aggregate signal before entering the pre-amplifier and then
added after the optical amplification of the aggregate signal, allowing to remotely manage the NE
also in case of optical amplifier failure. The added/dropped signal is coming from/sent to OSCU
communicating with ESCT.
- TPD stands for transpondes. It includes different categories of supported 3R interfaces as

TRBD, TRBC and MCC
In the next block schemes, only Tributary Direct Transponders with one 10Gbps B&W client signal
and one coloured 10Gbps signal, are taken into account.
The Tributary Concentrator (TRBC) with 4 x 2.5Gbps B&W client interfaces and a coloured 10Gbps
one is also available, but is not shown in the following figures, for semplicity reason.
In the following are detailed the various configurations.

1.2.1.3 Optical Add and Drop Multiplexer (OADM) repeater (OR)
The OADM repeater is a NE configuration that brings the capabilities to add and drop one or more
wavelengths to/from the aggregate signal in one or both directions.
The OADM NE configuration is implemented in linear and ring based networks.
Up to 100% of the transit traffic can be added/dropped for a total of a maximum 77 wavelengths (11
bands equipped at 7 channels). All the bands that are not extracted are transparently transmitted
without the need of any optical/electrical regeneration (bands are in optical pass-through). The fully
equipped OADM configuration allowing to add and drop up to 100% of the transit traffic is requiring
four racks.
The schematic representation of the OADM configuration is reported in Figure 18. The OADM is
consisting of
- line amplifiers (LOFA), with the extraction/insertion of the OSC before/after the double-stage
amplifier
- up to 22 CMDX (11 per direction, 1 band is reserved by ALCT, as default B5) and 2 BMDX1100

1.2.1.4 Reconfigurable OADM (R-OADM)
The Reconfigurable OADM NE configuration adds further flexibility to the OADM NE configuration. As
the OADM configuration, it supports the capabilities to add and drop one or more wavelengths to/from
the aggregate signal in one or both directions.
It can be implemented in linear and ring based networks.
Besides the R-OADM NE configuration is further improving the flexibility delivered by the OADM
configuration by:
- managing independently any transported wavelength. Each wavelength can be switched from
pass-thru status to add/drop status independently by the other ones. No group of wavelength
(band) configuration is required
- allowing a software remotely configuration of the node
- delivering Programmable Gain equalization functionality to improve the transmission
performances.
The new supported features will enable operators to better react to fairly unpredictable network growth
condition. Neither fixed wavelength plan allocation nor planning constraint is present any more, thus
allowing optimized bandwidth utilization and immediate new service activation.
Up to 100% of the transit traffic can be added/dropped for a total of a maximum 88 wavelengths (11
bands equipped at 8 channels). All the wavelengths that are not extracted are transparently
transmitted without the need of any optical/electrical regeneration (wavelengths in optical pass-
through).
Gain Equalization functionality is possible on the pass-thru traffic.
The fully equipped R-OADM configuration allowing to add and drop up to 100% of the transit traffic is
requiring five racks.
The schematic representation of the R-OADM configuration is reported in Figure 20. The OADM is
consisting of
- Line amplifiers (LOFA), with the extraction/insertion of the OSC before/after the double-stage
amplifier
- Up to 22 CMDX (11 per direction, 1 band is reserved by ALCT, as default B5), 2 BMDX1100 (1
per direction)
- Transponders (TPD)
- the Wavelength Manager board (WMAN) delivering the capability to shut down and/or equalize
each individual transported wavelength. Two WMAN boards are needed in this configuration
- Two Optical Add Drop Couplers (OADC) providing the connection from pass-thru traffic and
add/drop mux/demux boards
- ALCT allowing system loading

1.3 Upgrade configurations
1.3.1 Upgrading from OADM to R-OADM
The Alcatel 1626 LM is designed to support an easy upgrade from OADM to fully Reconfigurable
OADM configurations. This is allowing optimizing the capex investment and maintaining the
compatibility to fully Reconfigurable OADM networks.
In 1626 LM Release 3.0 two configurations enabling the upgrade to R-OADM are supported (see
Figure 25. and Figure 27. ). They allow the migration from 50 and 100 GHz grid based OADM to the
relevant R-OADM configuration.
The upgrade to R-OADM node can be performed in a second step by adding the WMAN board (see
Figure 26. and Figure 28. ).
The basic step to support the upgrade to R-OADM is to pre-install the Optical Add/Drop Coupler
(OADC) and the required Add/Drop multiplexing demultiplexing scheme. In this way a minimal
investment is bringing to the network architecture the capability to migrate easily to a fully
Reconfigurable network.

1.3.2 Upgrading legacy equipment
The following paragraphs refer to

• 1640 WM existing links upgrade with 1626 LM mux/demux scheme and/or transponders
• 1686 WM existing links upgrade with 1626 LM mux/demux scheme and/or transponders
Note that
- the mux/demux scheme, according to the configuration, can be made up of both the 1626 LM
and 1640 WM/1686 WM mux/demux
- supervision (OSC) and line amplifiers (booster+preamplifier) belong to the 1640 WM or 1686
WM.
- WLA is the 1686 WM transponder, TRB is the 1640 WM transponder, TPD is the 1626 LM
transponder (TRBD, TRBC or MCC)
The OSC allows the NE management: it is extracted from the aggregate signal before entering the
pre-amplifier and then added after the optical amplification of the aggregate signal. This gives the
benefit to remotely manage the NE also in case of optical amplifier failure.
In Line Terminal configuration (LT), the 1626 LM connects, according to the system architecture,
- up to 80 x 10Gbps B&W client signals, using TRBD or
- 320 x 2.5Gbps B&W client signals, using TRBC or
- up to 80 x 2.5Gbps B&W client signals, using MCC30 (for 1686 WM upgrading only)
to an optical fibre DWDM line. Mixed configuration are allowed.
The LT is placed at the ends of point-to-point links.

1.3.2.1.1 Line terminal equipment built-up of 1626 LM and 1640 WM
In the following is given a brief description of the two different 1640 WM mux/demux schemes
- the TCS scheme is based on 3 mux/demux stages (only the B&W to WDM direction is
described):
• the first one is able to multiplex (or de-multiplex because the boards are bi-directional) up to
8 channels on a 200GHz grid (function supported by the TCS1xx, TCS302 and TCS401
boards)
• the second one can mix up to 5 aggregate signals of 8 channels to reach 40 wavelengths
on a 100GHz grid (supported by the TCS302, Off-grid channels, and TCS401, On grid
channels);
ED 1
3AL 94322 AA AA
Page84
• the third one combines the two resulting aggregate signals of 40 channels at 100GHz to
have one DWDM signal of 80 channels at 50GHz in C band (function provided by the
TCS401 board).
- The MDX multiplexing architecture is based on two mux / demux stages
• the first one is able to multiplex (or de-multiplex because the boards are bi-directional) up to
40 channels on a 100GHz grid; this function is supported by the MDX3x2 (On grid
channels) and MDX3x3 (Off-grid channels).
• the second one interleaves the two resulting aggregate signals of 40 channels at 100GHz to
have one DWDM signal of 80 channels at 50GHz in C band (by means of the MDX4x1
board).

Existing 1640 WM links upgrade with 1626 LM boards
Figure 30. shows the upgrade scheme with the TCS401 mux/demux scheme.
Upgrade of 1640WM with TCS301 is not supported. Replacement of TCS301 with TCS401 is a
precondition to upgrade the configuration with 1626 LM tributaries.
The upgrade is allowed only when only when less than 40 channels of the 1640 WM system are
installed. Whatever the actual number “N” of installed channels (v 40), all the remaining 80-“N”
channels can be added with 1626 LM transponders (TRBD, TRBC) + Mux/Demux (CMDX, BMDX).
The 1626 LM aggregate signal is connected to the unused input/output port of the 2:1 combiner/1:2
splitter of the TCS401 board.
The upgrade configuration connecting directly the 1626 LM tributaries with the TCS boards is
not allowed.

1.3.2.1.2 Line terminal equipment built-up of 1626 LM and 1686 WM
Hereinafter, a brief description of the 1686 WM mux/demux scheme is given.

It is based on two mux/demux stages
- the first one is made up of two OMDX boards, able to multiplex (or de-multiplex, because the
boards are bidirectional) up to 16 chs each (one in red band, the other one in blue band) on a
100GHz grid
- the second one multiplexes the two resulting aggregate signals of 16 channels at 100GHz each
to have one DWDM signal of 32 channels at 100GHz in C band (by means of the expansion
board).
Existing 1686 WM links upgrade with 1626 LM boards
Two cases of upgrade are allowed:

- 1626 LM mux-demux connected to 1686 WM EXP board
- 1626 LM transponders (TRBD, TRBC, MCC30) directly connected to 1686 WM mux/demux.
Figure 32. shows the upgrade scheme with the 1626 LM transponders directly connected to the
1686 WM mux/demux.
This configuration allows to multiplex/demultiplex up to 32 channels to/from the DWDM line
This upgrade is always possible, whatever the actual number “N” of installed channels. The remaining
32-“N” channels can be filled with 1626 LM transponders directly connected to the OMDX16 boards of
the 1686 WM mux/demux scheme.

Figure 33. shows the 1686 WM upgrade scheme with the 1626 LM mux/demux scheme connected
to the expansion board of the 1686 WM.
This configuration is possible when only one 1686 WM Mux/Demux is installed (up to 16 chs), allowing
the connection of the 1626 LM mux/demux to the unused port of the 1686 WM EXP board. Hence it is
possible to increase the channels number to more than 32 filling the available band with 50GHz
spaced chs. The maximum supported configuration is 52 wavelengths by upgrading the red band with
up to 36 x 1626 LM channels.

1.5 Protection scenario
In the 1626 LM release 3.0 optical protections are managed by means of dedicated protection coupler
boards integrated into the 1626 LM universal shelf. The 1626 LM is able to provide to a generic host
tributary system both linear and ring optical channel (OCh) protections. In previous releases an
additional (1660 OCP) equipment supported this kind of configuration and 1626 LM release 3.0 is
supporting the interworking with 1660 OCP equipment.
Optical Channel (OCh) protection
The channel protection is provided with the Optical SNCP (O-SNCP) performed by means of the
OCPU2104 and transponders (MCC30, TRBD, TRBC).
The tributary signal is bridged over two different lines (working and protecting line). In this way the
signal is delivered towards two different paths. At the receiver side the selection between the two
diversely routed signals is performed. The protection switching is triggered by the following switching
criteria: LOS, OTU-LOF, OTU-LOM, OTU-TIM, ODU-AIS, Generic-AIS.
This kind of protection can be used on two different topologies: linear links and ring topologies, as
shown in Figure 38. and Figure 39. respectively.

2 PHYSICAL CONFIGURATION
The 1626 LM has been designed to offer a record size integration to meet the challenging
requirements of the backbone environment.
A fully loaded 1626LM system with 96 channels (Line Terminal configuration on a 50GHz grid) is
housed by three standard ETSI racks.
A fully loaded 1626LM system with 32 channels (Line Terminal configuration on a 100GHz grid) is
housed by one standard ETSI rack.
The 1626 LM employs a common shelf type for the different network elements.
The NE composition, when the 1626 LM R.1.X is used with 1640 WM or 1686 WM line sections, is
described in rel. 1.0 and rel. 1.2 technical handbooks, code 3AL 94720 AAAA and 3AL 94799 AAAA
and it will not be considered in this document.
2.1 Rack design

2.2 1626 LM shelf physical configuration

The 1626 LM shelf is made up by an empty shelf and the boards and units installed in it.
In current release, the 1626 LM system is composed by
ED 1
3AL 94322 AA AA
Page98
- one mandatory master shelf
- up to five slave/expansion shelves, according to the configuration type.
The board composition determines the shelf type: master or slave.
2.2.1 1626 LM Empty shelf
The shelf is divided in 41 slots. The logical slot numbers are shown in Figure 42.
Six different mechanics are available for the 1626 LM boards:
- 20 mm width, small height; this mechanic fits into slots 21, 22, 39 and 40
- 20 mm width, medium height; this mechanic fits into slots 1, 2, 19 and 20
- 25 mm width, small height; this mechanic fits into slots 23 to 38
- 25 mm width, medium height; this mechanic fits into slots 3 to 18
- 25 mm width, tall height; this mechanic takes two slots: one 25mm wide, medium height slot plus
one 25mm wide, small height one which is under it. Thus, it fits in slots 3 plus 23, 4 plus 24 to 18
plus 38. The relevant units use the connector from the medium height slot to communicate with
the SC
- double width, tall height; this mechanic takes four slots: two adjacent 25 mm wide, medium
height slots plus the two 25mm wide, small height ones which are under them. I.e. it can fit in
slots 5, 6, 25, 26. The units which have this mechanics use the connector from the left medium
height slot (slot 5 in the above example) to communicate with the SC.
- triple width, tall height; this mechanic takes six slots: three adjacent 25 mm wide, medium height
slots plus the three 25mm wide, small height ones which are under them. I.e. it can fit in slots 5,
6, 7, 25, 26 27.
