Do not touch the patient with bare hands until the circuit has been opened. pen 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.
2.1.1
Artificial respiration
It is important to start mouth resuscitation at once and to call a doctor immediately. suggested
procedure for mouth to mouth resuscitation method is described in the Tab. 2.1.
2.1.2
Treatment of burns
This treatment should be used after the patient has regained consciousness. It can also be
employed while artificial respiration is being applied (in this case there should be at least two
persons present).

Description
Lay the patient on his back with his arms parallel to the body. If the
patient is laying on an inclined plane, make sure that his stomach
is slightly lower than his chest. Open the patients mouth and
check that there is no foreign matter in mouth (dentures, chewing
gum, etc.).
Kneel beside the patient level with his head. Put an hand under
the patients head and one under his neck.
Figure
Lift the patients head and let it recline backwards as far as

possible.
Shift the hand from the patients neck to his chin and his mouth,
the index along his jawbone, and keep the other fingers closed together. While performing these operations take a good supply of
oxygen by taking deep breaths with your mouth open.
With your thumb between the patients chin and mouth keep his
lips together and blow into his nasal cavities
While performing these operations observe if the patients chest

rises. If not it is possible that his nose is blocked: in that case open
the patients 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 if the patients chest heaves. This second
method can be used instead of the first even when the patients
nose is not obstructed, provided his nose is kept closed by pressing the nostrils together using the hand you were holding his
head with. The patients head must be kept sloping backwards as
much as possible.
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.

SYSTEM PRESENTATION
OVERVIEW
The modern transmission system based on SDH hierarchy permits to makeup network and
subnetwork flexible and expanded where signals pass through at different rates with high
reliability. Network elements as line multiplexers (LTM), regenerators, adddrop multiplexers
(ADM), synchronous cross connect (SDXC) make part of the network and assure:
high flexibility
simplified maintenance
inservice test
centralized management.
SIAE ADM1 family is SIAEs new generation of STM1/STM4 add drop multiplexers. Owing
to its flexibility and compactness, SIAE ADM equipment represents the ideal solution for
operators in search of a versatile multiservice provisioning platform for access and
metropolitan SDH networks.
SIAE ADM1 family belongs to the latest generation of SIAE SDH add drop multiplexers and
includes:
4RU (4 rack units) conceived to support STM1/STM4 aggregate interfaces with fully
protected configurations and high AddDrop capacity.
2RU (2 rack units) designed to support STM1/STM4 aggregate interfaces in

unprotected SDH rings.
1RU (1 rack unit) conceived to support STM1 aggregate interfaces for Customer
Premises applications.

APPLICATIONS
The ADM1 finds its application both in the access network and in the transport network.
The ADM1 can be used stand alone, or in conjunction with the SIAE SDH digital radio systems,
to implement an SDH access or Metro Ring network as shown in Fig. 5.1.
This network provides transport of 2 Mbit/s, 34/45 Mbit/s Ethernet, IP packets, allowing the
elimination of all the intermediate multiplexing stages.
When used in conjunction with the other SIAE 2 Mbit/s Multiplexers the ADM1 meets the
demand of the customers for a wide variety of services (speech, ISDN, leased lines, fax) and
bandwidth.
Moreover the ring structure provides path protection and high availability performance.

MAIN FEATURES
5.3.1
General
SIAEs ADM1 family provides a very flexible and modular SDH platform.
In order to offer the best solution for each application in terms of features and price, SIAEs
ADM1 family is available in three different versions.
About this topic, the 4RU represents the most powerful version in terms of multiplexing capacity
and protection schemes. It is able to fulfil any Customer requirement in STM1 and STM4
applications.
Unlike 4RU, the 1RU version has been conceived to provide a costeffective solution mainly
addressed to Customer Premises applications.
The 2RU version is an intermediate solution designed to provide a good compromise between
the previous versions in terms of flexibility and costeffectiveness.
In the following figures are shown the three mechanical layout type:

SNCP (SubNetwork Connection Protection), on EW aggregate streams
2 Mbit/s end to end traffic protection, between PDH and SDH rings.
In case of SIAE PDH/SDH interconnecting rings, protection is given to PDH ring by
embedding the alarms from each framed/unframed 2 Mbit/s signal of the PDH path into
the ADM1 VC12s belonging to the SDH ring.
In case of partially or non completely SIAE PDH/SDH interconnecting rings, PDH
protection is given by inserting between PDH/SDH meeting points two additional
ADM1 which embedded the alarms from the PDH ring, into the STM1 frame. This
latter is then propagated into the SDH ring through a 155 Mbit/s tributary interface.
Fig. 5.16 shows the two different applications.

REDUNDANCY OF TRIBUTARY INTERFACE UNITS
The ADM1 provides equipment protection also to the tributary interface units (see Fig. 7.9):
Protection for E1 tributary

This protection is available on 4RU version only.
The redundancy is achieved by duplicating the SMU unit; a switch on the TIU unit
selects the E1 tributary traffic from the two SMU units according to unit status and
networks alarms.

UNIT DESCRIPTION
Herebelow the block diagram of the units the equipment consists of are supplied. The signal path
from the STM1 aggregate lines to the tributary lines and viceversa is indicated.
7.7.1
LIU (Line Interface Unit)
Refer to block diagram of Fig. 7.33.

The line STM1 interfacing is performed through a synchronous physical interface (SPI) circuit.
Electrical version
At the receive side (West or East) the SPI interfaces the STM1 signal then performing:
clock extraction from CMI decoding
code conversion from CMI to NRZ format
input cable loss compensation up to 13 dB
The hybrid that follows supplies the two SMU units in case of SMU unit duplication.
At the transmit side it receives 155520 kbit/s signal and performs the code conversion from
NRZ to CMI format according to G.703 Recommendation.
The LIU is provided with a switch, controlled by the controller unit, for selection of the signal
coming from the two SMU units.
Optical version
It interfaces the fibre cables through optical transmitter and receiver.
At the receive side a PIN diode extracts the data at 155520 kbit/s rate in NRZ format. The
circuits that follow are the same of electrical version.
At the transmit side the data at 155520 kbit/s rate in NRZ format is passed for modulation to
the optical transmitter.
The card uses a pluggable laser module that can be changed without extracting the card. The
controller card detects if a laser module is changed and updates the system. The types of
supported laser module are listed in Tab. 6.1.

MST + RST
At the receive side an aligner circuit searches from the incoming signal the bytes A1 and A2
for alignment. If the correct alignment is achieved, then a frame aligned timing circuit permits
to extract all the RST and MST bytes of the SOH. After descrambling the content of some byte
is then sent to main controller for processing and for displaying by the SCT program when
connected. At the output of MST+RST block, the Administrative Unit (AU) is passed to the MSA
section passing through a switch for signal selection from West (East) lines.
At the transmit side the AU payload from the MSA section is added with MST and RST bytes
thus generating the STM1 signal.

TITOLO DEL CAPITOLO
CM.89012.I
CM.89012.I
The byte allocation is made by using a frame timing derived from a local clock locked to the
SETS. SOH content is shown in Fig. 7.45.
The STM1 signal, after duplication, is then sent to the West (East) lines passing through the
LIUs.
MSA (Multiplex Section Adaptation)

At the receive side this section extracts VC4 from AU4 and viceversa at the transmit side
terminating/inserting the AU pointers.
The pointers permit a flexible allocation to VC4 within AU4 regarding possible
phase/frequency fluctuation of the payload with respect to transport module (see Fig. 7.47). The
pointer occupies the STM1 nine first bytes of the fourth row.
Pointer value permits always to locate the VC4 start (byte J1 of POH) and recovery possible
phase/frequency variation between AU4 and VC4.
Positive stuffing is made if VC4 bit rate is lower than AU4; negative stuffing if on the contrary
(see Fig. 7.48).
In the first case the first three bytes following the pointer are used; in the second the last three
pointer bytes are dedicated to the negative justification.
Stuffing operation is followed by pointer value updating (incremented or decremented) through
inversion of some bytes of pointer word.
HPT (High Path Termination)

This section terminates/inserts the VC4 POH thus extracting C4/generating VC4.
The POH acts as path trace identifier, error monitor, payload identifier and remote alarm
indicator.
See Fig. 7.49 for VC4 POH content.
HPA (High Path Adaptation)

This section performs the following:
mapping/demapping from C4 to TU12 and viceversa passing through TUG2 TUG3

structure as shown in Fig. 7.50 and Fig. 7.51.
alignment of TU12 WEST/EAST sides in the same temporal position
permits adaptation of any VC12 embedded into the STM1 from one side to the other
through TU12 pointer mechanism (see Fig. 7.52).

LPC (Lower Order Path Connection)

It permits the VC12s within STM1 East/West to be:
cross connected from one side to the other in any position of STM1
locally terminated at any tributary interface.
LPT (Low Path Termination)

At the receive side it extracts the C12 container by terminating the POH while at transmit side
performs opposite operation.
The POH acts as low path trace identifier, error monitor, payload identifier and remote alarm
indicator.
Fig. 7.54 shows the POH content (byte V5).
LPA (Low Path Adaptation)

This section permits to map (demap) an asynchronous 2048 kbit/s into (from) the C12 container.
Justification bits are included in order to perform adaptation of the external clock with the internal
one.
The generated frame consists of 140 bytes with a period of 500 s as shown in Fig. 7.53.
PPI (Plesiochronius Physical Interface)

It interfaces the 2 Mbit/s input/output signal adapting the HDB3 line code with the NRZ
equipment code and viceversa.
SETS
The synchronisation equipment timing source circuit supplies the reference for timing the
equipment circuitry.
Fig. 7.36 shows the synchronisation block diagram.

This unit can interface up to sixteen 2 Mbit/s tributary lines. Further units can be added until the
maximum capacity is reached. As shown in Fig. 7.37 it consists of a level adapter from HDB3
to NRZ/TTL and viceversa.
In case of ADM1 4RU version with SMU unit protection, an hybrid duplicates the signal at
transmit side whereas a switch selects the best signal from the two SMU units.

HW support to the CPU for the management of the Spanning Tree protocol.
The Quality of Service (QoS) is managed both at level 2 and at level 3, addressing the incoming
packets on four queues per port. The packets are queued on the chosen queue analyzing the
3 bits foreseen by the Ethernet tag IEEE 802.1, or observing the bits contained in the
TypeofService field of the IP header.
MII/GMII interface and GFP frame
The module adapts the MII interface of the switch to the internal interface; the packet traffic,
before being loaded on the relevant VCs, is embedded according to the GFPF standard, which
supports the multilink transport.
VC3 or VC12 Ethernet mapper
The module maps the traffic over the single VC12s or VC3s or concatenated VCs. Up to three
virtual concatenations are foreseen, is such a way to create independent paths within the
network. A different concatenation can be associated to each port with variable transport
capacity, with a maximum throughput on WAN side (internal) of 290,304 Mbit/s per unit.

7.7.10 SMCU
The SMCU unit consists of two main block:
SDH block (see Fig. 7.32)
Controller block (see Fig. 7.31)
7.7.10.1 SDH Block

It performs the multiplexing structure from STM1 to tributary and vice versa.
A brief overview of this block will follow.
MST + RST
At the receive side an aligner searches from the incoming signal the bytes A1 and A2 for
alignment. If the correct alignment is achieved, then a frame aligned timing circuit permits to
extract all the RST and MST bytes of the SOH. After descrambling the content of some byte
connected. At the output of MST + RST block, the Administrative Unit (AU) is passed to the MSA
section passing through a switch for signal selection from West (east) lines.
The STM1 signal, after duplication, is then sent to the West (East) lines passing through the
LIUs.

Pointer value permits always to locale the VC4 start (byte J1 of POH) and recovery possible
phase/frequency variation between AU4 and VC4. Positive stuffing is made if VC4 bit rate
is lower than AU4; negative stuffing if on the contrary (see Fig. 7.48)
indicator. See Fig. 7.49 for VC4 POH content.

alignment of TU12 WEST/East sides in the same temporal position
LPC (Lower Order Path Connection)

It permits the VC12s within STM1 East/West to be:
cross connected from one side to the other in any position of STM1
locally terminated at any tributary interface.
LPT (Low Path Termination)

At the receive side it extracts the C12 container by terminating the POH while at transmit side
performs opposite operation.
The POH acts as low path trace identifier, error monitor, payload identifier and remote alarm
indicator. Fig. 7.54 shows the POH content (byte V5).
LPA (Low Path Adaptation)
This section permits to map (demap) an asynchronous 2048 kbit/s into (from) the C12 container.
Justification bits are included in order to perform adaptation of the external clock with the internal
one.
The generated frame consists of 140 bytes with a period of 500 s as shown in Fig. 7.53.

PPI (Plesiochronius Physical Interface)

It interfaces the 2 Mbit/s input/output signal adapting the HDB3 line code with the NRZ
equipment code and viceversa.
SETS
The synchronisation equipment timing source circuit supplies the reference for timing the
equipment circuitry.
7.7.10.2 Controller Block

This unit mainly consists of a main controller type MPC860 that interacts with the equipment
boards and management ports.
The activities executed by the main controller are the following:
Communication management: it makes use of SNMP as management protocol and

IP or IP over OSI as communication protocol stacks. See Fig. 7.39 for details.
The interface ports for the equipment management are the following:
LAN Ethernet 10BaseT or 10Base2
RS232 asynchronous used for SCT/LCT connection
RS232 asynchronous used for connection to remote NEs
DCC (data communication channel) embedded within STM1 for connection to

the remote NEs.
Login: the main controller manages the equipment or network login/logout by setting
and then controlling the users ID and relevant password.
Database (MIB): validation and storing in a nonvolatile memory of the equipment

configuration parameters.
Equipment configuration: distribution of the parameters stored in the MIB towards the
controlled units for their attuation in addition to the controls from user not stored in the
MIB (i.e. loops, manual forcing etc...)
Alarm monitoring: acquisition, filtering and correlation of the alarms gathered from the
controlled units. Local logger and alarm sending to the connected managers: SCT/LCT
NMS5UX. Management of the alarm signalling on the basic shelf front panel.
Performances: PM management as per Recc. G.826 performed processing:
byte B1 related to RST of STM1 E/W
byte B2/M1 related to MST of STM1 E/W
BIP2 of V5 related to VC12
Download: the main controller is equipped with two flash memory banks containing the
running program (active bank) and the standby program (inactive bank). This permits
to download a new software release to the inactive bank without disturbing the traffic.
Bank switch enables the new release to be used. Download activity is based on FTP
protocol which downloads application programs, FPGA configuration, configuration
files on main controller inactive bank or directly on the peripheral controllers.

7.8.1
Loopbacks
Various types of loopsbacks may be implemented for test and maintenance purpose. They are
enabled via software. The loopbacks have to be timed to avoid possible traffic loss. What is
shown herebelow is a list of the available loopbacks:
aggregate interface loopbacks
local loopback
As shown in Fig. 7.41 STM1 signal from East/West transmit side of the
aggregate interface, LIU is routed back to the receive side towards the opposite
direction or towards the terminations ports, depending on the presetting made in
the crossconnect section.
remote loopback
As shown in Fig. 7.42 STM1 signal inputting the receive side of the East/West
aggregate interface is routed back to the transmit side of the same direction.
VC12 loopback
As shown in Fig. 7.43 it is possible to loopback any VC12 embedded within the STM1
payload by passing through the crossconnect section. This latter permits to any VC12
to be crossconnected towards the same direction, East or West. Same applies for the
VC12 from/to the tributary interface.
Warning: this kind of loop cannot be timed.
tributary interface loopbacks
local loopback
As shown in Fig. 7.44 after receiving the loopback control, the trib. signal,
connected at the transmit side, is routed back to the receive side.
remote loopback
As shown in Fig. 7.44 the trib. signal from the crossconnect is routed back
towards the STM1 aggregate signal, East or West or both depending on the
crossconnect setting.

Alarm indication
All the alarm roots from the different circuits the ADM1 consists of, are processed by the main
controller and classified according to a severity degree settable by the user.
Alarm classification is the following:
Critical or major: corresponding to an urgent alarm. Situation jeopardizing traffic

continuity.
Minor: corresponding to non urgent alarm: Situation showing a possible traffic

degradation not jeopardizing the traffic continuity.
Warning: situation showing an external alarm that jeopardizes traffic continuity but
caused by an external failure.
Alarm severity is:
displayed by the corresponding LED on the shelf front as shown in Fig. 7.40.
displayed by the managers connected to supervision ports.
In addition the software program shows the individual alarm root and relevant description.
See Unit Description for the meaning of LEDs.
7.8.3
User in/Alarm out
Internal alarms can be routed to four available relay contacts for sending outside an alarm
condition classified as severity degree. This is implemented via software.
The external alarms can be reached by four input in I/O connectors.
See controller card for connector position and Tab. 9.6 for pin connection.
7.9
EQUIPMENT SYNCHRONISATION
Operating mode
There are three operating modes as specified by Reccs G.810/G.812/G.813 and ETS 300
41761:
Locked: normal operating condition in which the local clock frequency is slaved to an
external input reference source.
ADM1 MN.00114.E 004

TITOLO DEL CAPITOLO
CM.89012.I
CM.89012.I
Holdover: condition of the local clock which has lost the reference source input and
is using the stored data, acquired while in locked condition, for a time greater than 15
minutes. The stored data are used to reproduce the locked condition within a specific
tolerance.
Freerunning: operating condition of the local clock which has lost the reference
source and has no access to the stored data acquired from the input reference source.
Freerunning ends when a reference source reverts to available synchronisation
source.
Synchronisation sources
As shown in Fig. 7.36 the local clock has to be locked to the following external sources:
STM1 from West side
STM1 from East side
one 2 Mbit/s signal applied to the 63 possible inputs
2 MHz
STM1 from tributary unit
Selectors A and B select one of the four possible synchronisation sources to generate the
equipment clock T0 and the external 2 MHz synchr. output T4.
Selection is made by processing the source conditions through the main controller.
Source hierarchy
The available sources are classified depending on the priority and the quality levels assigned.
Priority level
A priority can be assigned to each individual source from the highest (priority number
= 0) to the lowest (priority number 7 source disabled)
Quality level
A synchronisation status messages (SSM) (embedded into bit 5 to bit8 of byte S1
inside the SOH) is used to determine the quality level of the source.
Tab. 7.2 shows the quality level and relevant meaning. The lowest quality level number
(excluding level 0) corresponds to the highest quality.

Quality level of 2 Mbit/s and 2 MHz input sources must be assigned by the user; otherwise level
11 (SEC) will be set as default.
Quality level carried by SOH within STM1, East/West sides, can be changed by the user if
required.
Automatic switch condition
The synchronisation source is selected under the following conditions:
No manual forcing is active
The quality level has priority with respect to the priority level
Source with highest quality level is selected. If same quality level has been assigned
to the available sources then synchronisation source with the highest priority is
selected.
Automatic switching mode

If the best selected source fails, then the best of remaining sources will be selected for use.
The changeover happens after the expiration of the hold off time (settable from 300 to 1880
msec).
During this time the system is clocked in holdover mode assuring a frequency accuracy better
than 0.05 ppm.
If the lost best source has been recovered reversion occurs after a WTR (Wait to restore) time
settable from 0 to 12 minutes.
If only one source is available for synchronisation and this one fails the following happens:
Synchronous source fails after 15 minute trail: estimation of the input frequency
enables the holdover operation mode. A frequency drift lower than 0.05 ppm is
assured for the first 15 minutes plus 0.01 ppm per day increment plus max 2 ppm
for temperature variation.
Synchronous source fails before 15 minute trail: system is switched to free running
mode using the internal source assuring an accuracy of 4.6 ppm.
Manual forcing
It si possible to enable any available source in the following manual mode:
Manual switch: if the quality level is disabled or the available sources have the same
quality then a source can be selected as preferential with respect to the others.
If this source fails, automatically the source with the highest priority will be selected.
Forced switch: a source can be selected for use regardless the quality/priority levels
assigned to the others.
In case of the source fails there is no switch to another available source.
The system works in holdover mode.

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
GENERAL
Maintenance normally consists of two steps:
periodical checks
corrective.
Periodical checks have the purpose to verify the equipment performances in absence of alarm
condition.
This can be done by connecting the SCT/LCT program to the supervision ports and then run
the G.826 performances made over the SOH (bytes B1/B2/M1) and over any individual VC12
path (BIP2 of VC5).
This checks can be also done through the NMS5UX system permanently connected in the
network to be supervised.
Corrective maintenance takes place as soon as one or more alarm conditions are in existence.
The sequence of operation to be carried out is shown in Fig. 11.1.

TROUBLESHOOTING
GENERAL
An abnormal operating condition occurs whenever one of the following alarm condition: critical
major, minor and warning is activated on the front (see Fig. 14.1, Fig. 14.2 and Fig. 14.3) or
displayed by the managers SCT/NMS5UX.
Investigation must be made in order to discover if cause of faulty/degradation is attributed to the
equipment or is external to the equipment. In case of equipment failure, it is necessary to locate
the faulty unit and replace it with spare.
Warning: if the controller unit is faulty the equipment configuration must be loaded as per
procedure of chapter 15, par. 3.
14.2
FAULT LOCATION
The best and reliable method of investigation consists of the alarm root processing.
To the purpose proceed as follows:
run the SCT program
perform the connection to the network through the SCT
select the alarmed unit
select menu Equipment and then View current alarms
Fig. 14.4 will be shown and the current alarm roots will be displayed.
All the traps (alarm roots) are grouped in equipment functionalities in order to make the
investigation easy. The traps grouped into PPI group alarms, sets group alarms, STM1 group
alarms, generally indicates external alarms not given by the equipment.
The Unit alarm grouping indicates an equipment faulty unit.
The faulty unit must be replaced with spare.
