Note: A3T3:45Mb/s Access Card
4 In case of 45Mb/s interface, a further configuration is needed, compared with 34Mb/s
interface, due to the fact that a different approach is specified for DS3 in the American
standard.
4 In fact, in case of DS3, the central Office cable must be equalized at transmit side, by doing
the appropriate pre-setting, through the Craft Terminal, in order to maintain constant
reference level at the Distribution Frame.
4 The Port card P3E3/T3 is the same for 34 and 45 Mb/s.
T3-63
4 The Access card (A3E3 or A3T3) is different for 34 Mb/s (E3) and 45 Mb/s (T3), due to this
fact the DS3 (45) interface must be equalized at transmit side by inserting the appropriate
LBON (Line Built Out Network).

The Network Address of the NE: this address must be selected in agreement with Alcatel, or in any case, with the
responsible Authority for the DCN.
Intermediate System type : L1 or L2 are selected according to the network partitioning into areas. Select L2 only
for a Gateway NE which communicates with OS located in a different Network Area. All NEs inside the same
area are L1. This configuration is not mandatory. It is only useful to speed-up the OSI protocol routing.
OSI Stack Selectors keys (Presentation, Session and Transport Selectors) : these are usually fixed and they are
only used by protocol specialists, to optimize OSI protocol processing in complex network.
Notes:
Up to 3 different Network Addresses can be assigned to the same NE.

status is referred to a protecting/protected port that is ready to save the traffic.

The protection role depends on the selected port type (Protected / Protecting (MSP) Own Unit - (green color): it
is referred to the same unit indicated in the (MSP) Protection
Role (protected or protecting);

DNR: do not revert; the SF or SD have been recovered but the traffic is switched on the spare port
PF: a protection failure has been detected on the port
RF: a release command has been failed
FOP: a failure of protocol has been detected
complete: = the bridge/switch actions are completed
pending: = the bridge/switch actions are pending The "complete" and "pending" indications precede the
following statuses:

Notes: MS-SPRing management
4 The first Main Dialog for MS-SPRing management option contains all the commands to
configure and manage the MS-SPRing.
4 In the current release the NE supports the MS-SPRING protection as "Terrestrial
architecture".
4 The Transoceanic application with 4-Fiber is not supported in current release. For the 2-
Fiber Terrestrial application a max. of 16 nodes are available.

Activation procedure
4 Create an MS-SPRING schema with WTR, Node Identifier, Ring map and the related
Squelching Table for each node of the ring, in the desired order. WTR Ring must be the
same in all the nodes.
4 In the Main dialog for MS-SPRing management select "ACTIVATE" in each node of the
ring, in the desired order.Consider that, in this step, "Default K byte West or East" detection

by View Protection Status Parameter (under MS-SPRing label "Protocol exception"), will
occur on those Ports connected to the nodes not provisioned yet with the MS-SPRing
protection "created" (active).
4 Verify in the View Protection Status Parameter screen, at the end of the provisioning update,
that all the nodes of the ring are in "MS-SPRing active" and "No request" state.

Deactivation procedure
4 In the Main dialog for MS-SPRing management select "DEACTIVATE" in each node of the

Status Parameter (under MS-SPRing label -> "Protocol exception"), will occur on those
Ports of the activated nodes connected to the nodes just deactivated.
