and electrical short circuits. To prevent this, place a piece of paper or other cover over the
lower shelf to catch fallen objects. Remove the paper or other cover when work is
complete.
Restricted access locations
CAUTION
Laser hazard
Install the Alcatel-Lucent 1678 Metro Core Connect (MCC) in a restricted-access area
only. Entrance to a restricted-access area is intended for qualified or trained personnel
and access to it is controlled by a locked barrier.
NOTICE
Possibility of equipment damage.
The shelf does not contain main over-current protection devices.
The user must provide circuit breakers or fuses and disconnects between the power source
and the Alcatel-Lucent 1678 Metro Core Connect (MCC). Each power feed from a source
(−48 V DC and Return) requires a 25-amp DC-rated fast-trip circuit breaker or fuse and
disconnect. Circuit breakers or fuses must meet applicable local and national electrical
safety codes and be approved for the intended application.
WARNING
Make sure to connect the node to a −48 V DC source that is electrically isolated from the
AC source and is reliably connected to earth ground.
WARNING
For personal safety, make sure to connect and secure the installation site’s frame-ground
(earth ground) wire to the frame ground terminal on the 1678 Metro Core Connect
(MCC) before connecting any other wires to the node.
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
WARNING
A DC-power source provides high energy, which can cause serious injury or equipment
damage.
Only Alcatel-Lucent qualified personnel should connect the dc power to the
Alcatel-Lucent 1678 Metro Core Connect (MCC). To prevent serious injury or equipment
damage, make sure the power source cables are de-energized before handling or
connecting them to the node.
Laser precautions
Verify that laser labels on equipment state that the system conforms to all applicable
standards of 21 CFR 1040.10. See Figure 1-1, “Laser warning labels” (p. 1-7). If there are
no danger labels, call the Alcatel-Lucent Technical Support Center (TSC). See Figure 1-2,
“Shelf laser warning labels” (p. 1-8) through Figure 1-9, “Internal backpanel label”
(p. 1-14) for label locations on equipment. See Figure 1-10, “Part number and serial
number label (item on catalog)” (p. 1-14) through Figure 1-15, “Part number and serial
number label (item not on catalog)” (p. 1-16) for illustrations of labels called out in
Figure 1-4, “Subrack labels, view 1” (p. 1-10) through Figure 1-9, “Internal backpanel
label” (p. 1-14).
The invisible infrared radiation emitted by the fiber-optic transmitter can cause eye
damage. Observe local office procedures and the following dangers:
DANGER
Laser hazard
Laser infrared radiation is not in the visible spectrum; therefore, it is not visible to the
naked eye or with laser safety glasses. Although it cannot be seen, laser radiation may be
present.
DANGER
Laser hazard
Never look directly into an unterminated fiber-optic connector unless it is absolutely
known that no optical power is being emitted by the connector.
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
05.06.01
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
DANGER
Laser hazard
Never look directly into a broken optical fiber cable unless it is absolutely known that no
laser radiation is present.
DANGER
Laser hazard
Never look at an optical fiber splice, cable, or connector unless it is absolutely known
that no laser radiation is present in the fiber. Laser radiation can come from a fiber-optic
transmitter, an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR), or other optical test
equipment.
DANGER
Laser hazard
Never look directly into an unterminated optical connector or cable with a
magnifier/microscope unless it is absolutely known that no laser radiation is being
emitted from the connector or cable. A magnifier or microscope greatly increases the
laser radiation hazard to the eyes.
DANGER
Laser hazard
This system uses Hazard Levels 1 and 1M. During servicing operations when optical
connectors are being connected, disconnected, or handled without dust covers, it is
possible to be exposed to laser radiation that can cause eye damage. See Figure 1-1,
“Laser warning labels” (p. 1-7) for examples of laser warning labels.

Safety Electrostatic sensitive devices
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Electrostatic sensitive devices

Electrostatic sensitivity
An electrostatic-sensitive (ESS) device can withstand voltage spikes of only 10 to 100
volts and can be damaged or effectively destroyed by a discharge that might go unnoticed
by a technician. Some devices have built-in protection. However, because this protection
is effective only against the lower levels of electrostatic charges, a false sense of security
often prevails.
NOTICE
ESD hazard
Common plastic, white foam, cellophane, and masking adhesive tapes must not come in
contact with ESS devices or their packaging.
Common plastics (synthetic insulating materials), clothing, and paper or cardboard are
the most common sources of static charges.
Observe special precautions when the ESS sign is displayed. See Figure 1-16,
“Electrostatic-sensitive sign” (p. 1-17).
Figure 1-16 Electrostatic-sensitive sign
The following items are examples of ESS devices:

• MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) capacitors, transistors, Integrated Circuits (ICs)
• CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) transistors, ICs
• JFET (Junction Field Effect Transistors)
• IGFET (Insulated Gate Field Effect Transistors)

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Handling modules
NOTICE
ESD hazard
Although the risk of damage to an ESS device is reduced considerably after it is
assembled into a circuit designed to protect sensitive components, take the
following precautions to reduce static charges to harmless levels:
• Handle all modules as ESS devices unless they are known not to contain
electrostatic-sensitive parts.
Heel straps are effective only while standing on conductive or
electrostatic-dissipative surfaces.
• Wear ground straps, wrist (PN 1AD012470001) before and while touching or
handling circuit packs containing ESDs. See Figure 1-17, “Wrist band and
cord” (p. 1-18) for an illustration of the wrist strap with cord. The wrist
strap is an elasticized band connected to the coiled cord connected to the
rack frame ground.
• Store (even temporarily), pack, and ship modules in antistatic bags or
containers.
• Do not handle printed circuit board or components unnecessarily. Use
plastic handle.
• Do not use synthetic bristled brushes or acid brushes to clean modules.
• Handle failed modules with same precautions as good modules.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Repairing modules
To protect ESS devices during repair, take the following precautions:
• The workbench must be earth-grounded, and the work surface must be covered with
an antistatic or static dissipative material bonded to the bench (bolt). A field service
kit (PN 1AD068980001) or equivalent can be used if an adequate workbench is not
available.
• Repair technicians must wear a wrist strap of 250 kilohms to 2 meg ohms that
contacts the repair technician's skin and the bolt bonding the covering to the bench or
safety ground. The wrist strap must be connected before parts are removed from
packaging.
• All electrical equipment must be grounded using a 3-wire power cord.
• Clothing must not touch the device under repair.
• ESS devices are delivered with protective packing (containers or conductive foam).
The devices should remain in their original containers until needed.
• Containers with ESS devices must contact the antistatic work surface, and the wrist
strap must be connected before parts are removed from packaging. Devices must be
handled by their bodies. Leads must be contacted only when necessary.
• Test setups must have correct voltage polarity.
• Volt Ohm Milliamp (VOM)-type meters must not be used to measure resistance; they
can damage devices.
• Only antistatic (metallized) desoldering tools should be used.
ESS devices are protected when properly packaged in conductive or antistatic packaging.
Acceptable packaging is marked as either conductive or antistatic.

Alarm and event condition clearing procedures

Refer to Table 3-1, “Condition types” (p. 3-5) to identify a condition type and the
corresponding procedure, which describes how to clear the condition type. The
EQUIPMENT and FACILITY columns list the entities to which a condition type can
apply. Depending on the entities affected, some condition types have more than one
corresponding procedure.
In the EQUIPMENT column, entities are listed by software mnemonic. Refer to
“Equipment replacement procedures” (p. 3-27) for corresponding hardware mnemonics.
In the FACILITY column also, entities are listed by software mnemonic. Observe the
following definitions:
• COM: Common condition type used in the system. No specific entity applies to this
condition type.
• ESLP: Ethernet Switch Logical Port
• GBE: Gigabit Ethernet
• GBE10: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• OC3: OC-3
• OC12: OC-12
• OC48: OC-48
• OC192: OC-192
• STS1: STS-1 embedded in ESLP, GBE, OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, OC-192, or VCG
• STS3C: STS-3C embedded in GBE, OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, OC-192, or VCG
• STS12C: STS-12C embedded in OC-12, OC-48, or OC-192
• STS48C: STS-48C embedded in OC-48 or OC-192
• STS192C: STS-192C embedded in OC-192
• T3: T3 used for direct-mapped ethernet in ESLP
• VCG: Virtual Concatenation Group embedded in ESLP or GBE
The RTRV-ALM-ALL command is used to retrieve alarm condition types present in the
system.
The RTRV-COND-ALL command is used to retrieve event (alarmed, non-alarmed or
not-reported) condition types present in the system.

Procedure 3-11: ISPBUS alarm

When to use
This procedure provides instructions to clear an ISPBUS alarm for ES64SC, MX320GA,
and MX640GA modules.
Related information
TL1 Command Guide.
Before you begin

This alarm indicates that the non-redundant Intra-Shelf Parallel Bus (ISPB) bus is not
working or is working incorrectly. Matrix switching/equipment protection switching is
blocked. Maintenance actions should be avoided.
In the event of a non-working ISPB, all boards are completely out of control and
supervision. Traffic is not directly concerned, but may be impacted by maintenance
actions. Especially matrix switches and board plug-ins should not be done.
Note: The system indicates an ES64SC board which may be the origin for a
disturbed/corrupted ISPB. Older ES64SC boards (with part numbers 3AG24371AAC
or 3AG2437AAD, both with ICS = 01, 02 or 03) may cause signaling errors for the
ISPB bus in the event of an ES64SC power failure. In this case - as exception - the
alarmed board needs to be changed and a plug-in is allowed (see Procedure 3-41:
“ES64SC replacement in a protected configuration” (p. 3-199) or Procedure 3-42:
“ES64SC replacement in an unprotected configuration” (p. 3-202)).

Procedure 3-31: FLCSERVA replacement

When to use
This procedure provides instructions on replacing an FLCSERVA module.
Related information
TL1 Command Guide.
Before you begin

The FLCSERVA replacement software process is executed in four phases:
• Clone phase: A ramdisk system is downloaded from the server. This system prepares
the hard disk of the new FLC and downloads the hard disk contents from the server to
the client. Afterwards the cloned system will be prepared for the first boot of the
runtime system from disk.
• Post installation: The new runtime system boots the first time from disk. CSServer
data is synchronized with the server FLC and the network configuration is updated.
• Save current installation: The now valid system installation and configuration is saved
for recovery.
• Final startup of the runtime system: The new FLC will start up in the maintenance
state.
Prerequisites
• The FLC systems of the network element must be configured properly.
• The FLC being replaced must be out of service.
• Manually check that it is possible to login as install user before doing the FLC
replacement.
Required equipment
• Replacement FLCSERVA module.
• RS-232 cable (3AL89583AAAA)
• Console cable (3AG2431AAAA) (debug cable)

Procedure 3-32: FLCCONGI replacement

When to use
This procedure provides instructions on replacing an FLCCONGI module.
Related information
TL1 Command Guide.
Before you begin

The FLCCONGI Replacement software process is executed in four phases:
• Clone phase: A ramdisk system is downloaded from the server. This system prepares
the hard disk of the new FLC and downloads the hard disk contents from the server to
the client. Afterwards the cloned system will be prepared for the first boot of the
runtime system from disk.
• Post installation: The new runtime system boots the first time from disk. CSServer
data is synchronized with the server FLC and the network configuration is updated.
• Save current installation: The now valid system installation and configuration is saved
for recovery.
• Final startup of the runtime system: The new FLC will start up in the maintenance
state.
Prerequisites
• The FLC systems of the network element must be configured properly.
• The FLC being replaced must be out of service.
• Manually check that it is possible to login as install user before doing the FLC
replacement.
Required equipment
• Replacement FLCCONGI module.
• RS-232 cable (3AL89583AAAA)
• Console cable (3AG2431AAAA) (debug cable)

Before you begin

Task
NOTICE
ESD hazard
NOTICE
Unplugging a matrix board while it is active causes traffic interruption of less than 50 ms
NOTICE
Extracting the active matrix board A leads to an immediate matrix switch to matrix B. A
reinsertion of the matrix board A before the LED of the matrix board B turns to 'green',
leads to a switch back to matrix A. Matrix A becomes the active matrix again and matrix
B the standby matrix. LED alignment takes place after about 2 - 3 minutes.
This switch back should not happen. The switch back is not hitless.

Laser infrared radiation is present when fiber-optic connector is open and optical
interface is installed. Laser infrared radiation is not visible to naked eye or with laser
safety glasses
DO NOT LOOK INTO FIBER-OPTIC CONNECTOR.
DANGER
Laser hazard
Ensure no optical power is connected to fiber being tested. An optical power meter must
be used to ensure all optical power has been removed.
NOTICE
Do not disassemble modules to clean fibers. Disassembling module could cause damage
to optical splice and could void warranty.

NOTICE
To preserve integrity of fiber-optic connectors, observe the following precautions:
• Do not use cleaning swabs more than once.
• Do not use alcohol or any type of liquid to clean fiber-optic connectors.
• Do not use canned air to clean fiber-optic connectors. Canned air propellant leaves
residue that clouds fiber-optic connectors.
• Do not touch polished optical surface of fiber-optic connector. Oil from skin can
degrade performance of fiber-optic connector and attract dust particles.
• Always use protective covers to protect disconnected fiber-optic connectors. When
protective covers are not in use, store them in a clean container. Do not store
protective covers in clothes pocket.

Procedure 3-48: 10 Gigabit Ethernet card replacement

When to use
This procedure provides instructions to replace a 10 Gigabit Ethernet module (P2XGE).
Related information
10 Gigabit Ethernet modules have no equipment protection on the 1678 Metro Core
Connect (MCC). It is possible the 10 Gigabit Rthernet module has LAG or path
protection. For 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules without LAG or path protection on either or
both port(s), traffic will be dropped while performing this procedure. For configurations
configured with LAG path protection contact the next level of technical support.

When to use
This procedure provides instructions to upgrade the MX320GA matrix in-service to the
MX640GA matrix.
Related information
During the matrix upgrade procedure, while the system is in a mixed matrix
configuration, the MXUPGRD condition will be set. The MXUPGRD condition will be
raised after the ED-EQPT command is issued against the first matrix upgraded. The
MXUPGRD condition will clear after the ED-EQPT command is issued against the
second matrix upgraded.

A 1:N system where N=1.
1+1, 1P1
Non-expandable protection scheme; (Pronounced “one plus one”). Two full-duplex channels: one
active, one standby; either can provide service. Protection switching behavior may be revertive or
nonrevertive (normal case). When active channel fails, traffic is switched to standby channel. In
revertive, one channel is the preferred active; when preferred channel is repaired, traffic switches
back to it. In nonrevertive neither channel is preferred, and switch-back does not occur.
1:N
(Pronounced “one for N”) N+1 full-duplex channels, N main and one standby (or protection). The
main channels provide service: If a main channel fails, the standby channel switches to provide
service in place of failed channel. Switching is revertive, which permits extra traffic to be carried
on the standby channel. (For example, when the main channel is repaired, service will be switched
back to it, thus making the standby channel available to protect a subsequent failure.)

(ADSL modems) at the CO and subscriber premises; and sends high-speed digital signals up and
down those copper wires, sending more information one way the other, hence the term
asymmetric.

The sum of a group of data items used for error checking. Checksum is computed by the sending
computer based upon an algorithm that counts the bits going out in a packet. The check digit is
then sent to the other end as the packet tail (or trailer). As the packet is being received, the
receiving computer goes through the same algorithm. If the receiving computer goes through the
same algorithm, and if the check digit it comes up with is the same as the one received, all is well.
Otherwise, it requests the packet be sent again.

Chromatic Dispersion (CD)

The generally known form of dispersion found in single-mode fiber; determined by the CD
characteristics of the fiber; temporal in nature, related only to the optical signal wavelength. An
optical receiver is capable of accepting a certain amount of dispersion broadening, essentially
where individual pulses cannot be distinguished. Because dispersion is the broadening of a
transmit pulse of finite width, the narrower the transmit pulse, the more the dispersion that can be
tolerated in a system. A transmitter with a narrower spectral width allows the system to tolerate
more dispersion. Effects of CD are measured in PICO-seconds (ps). The CD coefficient that
describes fiber is given in terms of ps/nm-km. CD tolerance of a system is determined by the
transmitter being used and is given in ps/nm. Like attenuation, the CD characteristics of fiber are
wavelength dependent.

communicate with an IFS101 Interface Server installed in the multiflex shelf and strapped as
master (MIFS) module because they are not on the Internal Local Area Network (ILAN) bus.
Dataphone Digital Service (DDS)

The first private-line digital service offered by AT&T, with data rates typically at 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, and
56 kilobits per second. DDS is now part of AT&T Accunet family of services. Most Local
Exchange Carriers (LECs) and IntereXchange Carriers (IXC) offer similar services.

A high-speed version of Wave Division Multiplex (WDM); increases capacity of Synchronous
Optical Network (SONET) fiber-optic transmission systems through the multiplexing of multiple
wavelengths of light; uses optical channel spacing on the order of 1.6 nm (200 GHz) and is
compatible with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) channel plan. Wavelength
tolerance for these channels is ±0.3 nm. This permits as many as 16 channels in the optical band
from 1530 nm to 1560 nm. A SONET term. See also Narrow-Band Wavelength Division

Direct Entry
Function that enables users to interact with a network element in TL1 form.
Dispersion
Dispersion is the process whereby optical pulses are widened as they travel along an optical fiber.
It is caused by the different wavelength components of a light signal of finite spectral width
traveling down the fiber at different velocities. The effect is a pulse at the terminating end of a
fiber that is wider than the original pulse that was transmitted. If the amount of widening is
excessive the individual pulses will not be distinguishable by the receiver. See also Chromatic
Dispersion and Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD).
Distributed Queue Data Bus (DQDB)

A multiplexing/switching technique similar to Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) that uses
IEEE 802.6 PLCP.
Distributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB)

The Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) access technique defined by IEEE 802.6 standard for
Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS); based on Queued Packet Synchronous Exchange
(QPSX); operates by maintaining a queue at each station to determine when the station may
access its dual buses, which provide bidirectional access to its dual buses. Dual buses provide
bidirectional transmission between originating and terminating stations with excellent, end-to-end
congestion control ensured. DQDB consists of two unidirectional buses connected as an open ring
(for example, each bus is not directly interconnected). It provides for full-duplex operation
between any two nodes. See also Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).

Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)

The simultaneous transmission of multiple separate signals through a shared medium (such as a
wire, optical fiber or light beam) by modulating, at the transmitter, the separate signals into
separable frequency bands, and adding those results linearly either before transmission or within
the medium. While combined, all signals can be amplified, conducted, translated in frequency,
and routed toward a destination as a single signal, resulting in economies (the motivation for
multiplexing). Apparatus at the receiver separates the multiplexed signals by frequency passing or
rejecting filters and individually demodulating the results appropriately for the modulation
scheme used for that band or group. Bands are joined to form groups, and groups can then be
joined into larger groups, a technique is common only in large and sophisticated systems and is
not a necessary part of FDM. Transmitters and receivers need not be close to each other.

ISDN is a special telephone line that allows data to be transmitted using end-to-end digital

BRI (144,000 bits per second [b/s] designed for the desktop) and PRI (1,544,000 b/s, designed for
telephone switches, computer telephony, and voice processing systems). Neither ISDN Basic Rate
Interface (BRI) nor ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI) is a standard service, though there are
several “standard” configurations. A difficult service to run, ISDN requires a special ISDN
modem (a terminal adapter [hardware] that allows the sending and receiving of digital signals
over ISDN lines. Typical modems convert digital signals from the computer into analog signals
that can be sent over copper cables. But an ISDN terminal adapter transmits only digital data.

Interleave
1. Transmission of pulses from two or more digital sources in time-division sequence over a
single path.
2. A data communication technique, used in conjunction with error-correcting codes, to reduce
the number of undetected error bursts. In the interleaving process code symbols are reordered
before transmission so that any two successive code symbols are separated by |-1 (| is called
the degree of interleaving). Upon reception, interleaved code symbols are reordered into their
original sequence, effectively spreading or randomizing errors (in time) to enable more
complete correction by a random error-correcting code.

Loopback
A maintenance condition that redirects normal input to output, or vice versa; consists of a
diagnostic test in which the transmitted signal is returned to the sending device after passing
through a data communications link or network, thereby allowing a technician (or built-in
diagnostic circuit) to compare the returned signal with the transmitted signal and determine what
is wrong. Loopbacks are often done by excluding one piece of equipment after another,

Multiplex (MUX, Mx)

Multiplex direction, the tributary input signal arriving on tributary interface (electrical) and being
multiplexed up onto optical signal, then leaving system. Combining several signals for
transmission on some shared medium; signals are combined at the transmitter by a multiplexer
(MUX) and split up at the receiver by a demultiplexer (DEMUX). The communications channel
can be shared between the independent signals in one of several different ways: Time Division
Multiplexing (TDM), Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM), and Code Division Multiplexing
(CDM). If the inputs take turns to use the output channel (TDM), the output bandwidth need be
no greater than the maximum bandwidth of any input. If many inputs are active simultaneously,
the output bandwidth must be at least as great as the total bandwidth of all simultaneously active
inputs. In this case the multiplexer is also known as a concentrator. See also Time Division
Multiplexing (TDM), Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM),and Code Division Multiple
Access (CDMA).

Packet Switching
A communications paradigm in which packets (messages or fragments of messages) are
individually routed between nodes, with no previously established communication path. Packets
are routed to their destination through the most expedient route (as determined by some routing
algorithm). Not all packets traveling between the same two hosts, even those from a single
message, will necessarily follow the same route. The destination computer reassembles the
packets into their appropriate sequence. Packet switching optimizes available bandwidth use in a
network and minimizes latency. See also X.25.
PAD
Packet Assembler/Disassembler
Parameter
An element of a command, which further defines the object of the command or provides data
needed for proper command execution. See individual command descriptions.
Parity Check
A process for detecting whether bits of data (parts of characters) have been altered during
transmission of that data. Data are transmitted as a stream of bits with values of one or zero; for
example, each character of data composed of seven bits has another bit added to it. The value of
that bit is chosen so that either the total number of one bits is always even if Even Parity error
correction is to be obeyed, or always odd if Odd Parity correction is chosen.
Path
1. A path at a given bit rate is a logical connection between the point at which a standard frame
format for the signal is assembled and the point at which the standard frame format for the
signal is disassembled.

Peer or PEER
1. A unit of communications hardware or software on the same protocol layer of a network as
another. A common way of viewing a communications link is as two protocol stacks that are
actually connected only at the very lowest (physical) layer, but can be regarded as being
connected at each higher layer by virtue of the lower layers services provided. Peer-to-peer
communication refers to these real or virtual connections between corresponding systems in

each layer. For example, when two people talk to each other, the lowest layer is the physical
layer, the sound waves traveling from mouth to ear (so mouths and ears are peers). The next
layer might be the speech and hearing centers in the brains and the top layer their cerebellums
or minds. Although, barring telepathy, nothing passes directly between the two minds, there is
a peer-to-peer communication between them.

Performance Monitoring (PM)

Reports and analyzes deviations from defined parameters, detecting any signal degradation that
could lead to a service-affecting failure; refers to actions that monitor signal integrity and quality
(such as counting parity errors in Synchronous Optical Network [SONET] equipment) and

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)

A communications protocol; the protocol defined in RFC 1661, the Internet standard for
transmitting network layer datagrams (for example, IP packets) over serial point-to-point links.
PPP is designed to operate over asynchronous connections and bit-oriented synchronous systems.
It can configure connections to a remote network dynamically and test that the link is usable. PPP
can be configured to encapsulate different network layer protocols by using appropriate Network
Control Protocol (NCP).
Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD)

Identified around 1990, PMD might become a limiting issue in optical span design now that data
rates are going higher (10 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s), and spans are getting longer. PMD is the dispersion
of an optical signal, caused by the different polarization modes of the optical signal traveling
down a fiber at slightly different velocities. The amount of PMD is statistical in nature and varies
randomly with time. PMD is independent of chromatic dispersion, so a span can be PMD-limited
in distance even in the absence of chromatic dispersion. Due to the random nature of the physical
causes of PMD, it is more difficult to be compensated for, as chromatic dispersion, but newer
techniques are being developed. See also Chromatic Dispersion.
POP
See Point of Presence (POP).
Port
1. A physical connection on a network element that has a specified rate and type of physical
attachment; a connection or socket on the computer. Ports are used for connecting devices
(cables, modems, printers, monitors) to a PC, then sending information from the computer to
the devices. Serial ports (COM 1-COM 4) and parallel ports (LPT1, LPT2) are the most
commonly used.
2. An interface point between the system and its external environment. Can be physical, logical,
or both.

the locked alarm were active. This policy accomplishes prevention of rapid switching oscillation
in a much cleaner fashion than Switch Hold. Also, it directly addresses requirements CR5-52 and

Synchronous Network
The synchronization of the payloads of a transmission system to a master (network) clock that can
be traced to a reference clock.
Synchronous Optical Network (SONET)

A family of fiber-optic transmission rates (51.84 Mb/s to 13.22 Gb/s), created to provide needed
flexibility to transport many digital signals with different capacities, and to provide a design
standard. SONET is an optical interface standard that allows interworking of transmission
products from multiple vendors; it defines physical interface, optical line rates (optical carrier
[OC] signals), frame format, and an Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning
(OAM&P) protocol. A standard for interconnecting digital networks and light wave systems
agreed upon by most major manufacturers. SONET supports new broadband services, and
enhanced OAM&P. This standard permits connecting SONET-compatible equipment of one
manufacturer to SONET-compatible equipment of another manufacturer on the other end. All
present services, such as DS1s, DS2s, DS3s, LANs, etc., can be brought onto a hub and interfaced
with SONET.
Synchronous Payloads
Payloads derivable from a network transmission signal by removing integral numbers of bits in
every frame; (for example, there are no variable bit stuffing rate adjustments required to fit the
payload in the transmission signal).
Synchronous Signal
A signal associated with a clock, or timing, signal. Clock moves data from one point to another.

Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)

A type of multiplexing where two or more channels of information are transmitted over the same
link by allocating a different time interval (“slot” or “slice”) for the transmission of each channel.
(For example: The channels take turns to use the link. Typically a periodic synchronizing signal or
distinguishing identifier is required so the receiver can determine which channel is which. TDM
becomes inefficient when traffic is intermittent because the time slot remains allocated even when
the channel has no data to transmit. Statistical TDM was developed to overcome this problem.
Compare with Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) and Code Division Multiplexing (CDM).
Time Slot
1. In time division multiplexing or switching, the slot belonging to a voice, data, or video
conversation; it can be occupied with conversation or left blank, but the slot is always present.
The capacity of the switch or the transmission channel can be determined by figuring how
many slots are present.
2. The smallest switchable data unit on the SCbus or SCxbus data bus. A time slot consists of
eight consecutive bits of data. One time slot is equivalent to a data path with a bandwidth of
64 Kpbs. (A Signal Computing System Architecture [SCSA] term.)

Unidirectional Ring (UDR)

Ring networks that send the same traffic over two different routes (for example, counter-rotating
paths) to each node in the network. This allows the node to select one direction or the other for its
own traffic for protection purposes. Rings send all traffic through each node. Rings also permit
add/drop of channels at any node using a T Mux.
Unidirectional Switching
The protection switching scheme whereby the failed path is switched to the protection path, but
the path in the other direction is not switched.
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)

A device, usually an integrated circuit chip, that performs the parallel-to-serial conversion of
digital data to be transmitted and the serial-to-parallel conversion of digital data received;
converts incoming serial data from a modem (or whatever else is connected to the serial port) into
the parallel form the Personal Computer (PC) handles. Parallel data conversion into serial data
makes data suitable for asynchronous transmission on phone lines. PCs have a serial port used for
bringing data into and out of the computer; this serial port is used for data movement on a channel
that requires that one bit be sent (or received) after another, serially; UART chips control PC serial
ports.
Unprotected Operation
A network element (usually a terminal) where the individual transport element does not provide
traffic protection; a higher network device, such as a cross-connect, provides protection by
moving the traffic from the failed transmission path to other paths in the network.
