The SURPASS hiT7300 system uses a maximum of 40 wavelengths within the Cband, with 100 GHz frequency spacing starting with 1529.55 nm and ending with
1560.61 nm and divided into following groups:

16 blue wavelengths (C01 to C04 sub-bands).


8 middle wavelengths (C05 and C06 sub-bands).
16 red wavelengths (C07 to C10 sub-bands).
The wavelength plan for hit7300 allows a very flexible number End-of-Life (EOL)
optical channels network design from 4 up to 40 channels in steps of 4 channels. The
following tables describe the wavelength plan of the hit7300.

Optical Multiplexing Scheme

The choice and structure of the optical multiplexing technology for SURPASS
hiT7300 takes into consideration several factors such as the channel granularity
requirements, modularity, and subsequent upgradeability. The Mux/Demux cards
have fixed wavelength to physical port assignment. The cards are highly reliable
consisting of the passive optical components including only the electrical components
necessary for the card identification. All Mux/Demux cards are bidirectional cards.
The optical Mux/Demux cards offer very low insertion loss to facilitate links with a
large number of hiT7300 NEs as well as to support NEs without booster amplifier
wherever possible in order to reduce the overall system cost. SURPASS hiT7300
supports 40 wavelengths out of the 100 GHz wavelength grid according to ITU-T
G.692/G.694.1.

Optical Multiplexer/Demultiplexer Cards

By using only 4 types of MUX/DEMUX cards, Surpass hiT7300 offers a great


flexibility for different end of life (EOL) capacities in 4 channel granularity.
By combining only four basic filter card types, the SURPASS hiT7300 covers all
practical network applications thus offering great simplicity and an ability to
seamlessly grow the networks over the time. The same four basic card types can be
used for realizing the OADM function or an optical terminal node.

Amplification scheme
EDFA amplifiers

The Line Amplifier (LA) cards provide the signal amplification by featuring a gain
block with one or two pump lasers, inter-stage access for dispersion compensation,
and digital gain control.
SURPASS hiT7300 offers various types of amplifier cards well suited for various
network scenarios, depending on the required performance of the span. The amplifier
design is multi-stage and modular. This allows for application optimized solutions
and cost optimized choice of amplifiers. The modular amplifier design ensures the
lowest possible CAPEX investment for each supported network scenario.
LA cards are divided in three types of amplification (inline, booster and preamplifier):

Inline amplifiers contain an optical inline amplifier for C band and are used at inline
sites for optical amplification of the signal. The output power of the cards can be
increased by pump cards and Raman pump cards.

Booster amplifiers contain an optical booster amplifier for C band and are used at
terminal sites for amplifying the outgoing line signal. In one link direction, there is
only one booster. The output power of these cards can be increased by pump
cards.

Pre-amplifiers contain an optical preamplifier for C band and are used at terminal

sites for amplifying the incoming line signal before it is fed into the demultiplexing
stage. In one link direction, there is only one preamplifier. The output power of the
cards can be increased by pump cards and Raman pump cards.

Additionally, the various types of amplifiers can be categorized into 3 generic types:

Line Amplifier Short Span (LASx).


Line Amplifier Medium Span (LAMx).
Line Amplifier Long Span (LALx).

Optical Amplifier Cards

1.3.1.1.1
Line Amplifier for Short Span (LASBC)
The LASBC amplifier is an EDFA dual-stage amplifier card designed for short span
applications without Interstage access. LASBC can be used as a booster amplifier in
all ONN node types. The EDFA Stage 1 is optimized for amplification of a low
power signal and therefore for low noise amplification. With a Gain Flattening Filter
(GFF) and an automatically controlled Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA) between
EDFA stages 1 and 2, the excellent gain flatness is achieved over a wide range of
gain settings.
An external monitor interface for connection to an Optical Spectrum Analyzer or the
optical channel power monitor card is also available for external signal monitoring
functions. The amplifier also has internal signal monitoring functions on the board.
The OSC (Optical Supervisory Channel) termination is done locally on the card and
control information is digitally forwarded into the main controller.
The EDFA Stage 2 does the final amplification of the DWDM signal before it reenters the fiber, allowing for maximum reach.
1.3.1.1.2
Line Amplifiers for Medium Span (LAMPC, LAMIC)
The LAMPC and LAMIC cards are dual-stage EDFA amplifier cards for medium span
applications and provide an additional Interstage access port for dispersion
compensation. The LAMPC can be used as a preamplifier card in all the ONN node
types, and the LAMIC card can be used as an in-line amplifier card in the OLR
nodes.
The interstage access points between each EDFA section allow for the addition of
inline optical components to enhance the performance of the amplification process as
well as the overall network performance. The interstage port can be optionally
interconnected with either a Dispersion Compensation Fiber (DCF) or a Fiber Bragg
Grating (FBG) card depending on type of fiber choice and dispersion compensation
requirement of the network.
The EDFA Stage 1 together with the Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA) provides
moderate optical amplification so that the output signal level is appropriate for
interconnection to a dispersion-compensating device interconnected at the interstage
access port.
All the attenuation incurred by any interstage optical device is already calculated in
the optical link budget and the Stage 2 EDFA provides optimum amplification for the
following span.
All other functions such as OSC extraction and insertion, internal and external signal
monitoring and gain flattening filter are also available.

Line Amplifiers Long Span (LALBC, LALIC, LALPC)
The LALBC/LALIC/LALPC amplifier cards provide three-stage EDFA amplification for
long span applications. The LALBC can be used as booster amplifier card, and the
LALPC can be used as preamplifier card in all ONN node types, whereas the LALIC
can be used as in-line amplifier in OLR nodes.
All LALxC cards provide all the features provided by LASBC and LAMxC cards and
further provide Stage 3 amplification with optional access to an external PUMP card
for extra amplification in applications with very long spans and/or high number of
optical channels.
The LALxC cards can also compensate for higher attenuation at their interstage
access port, which is useful for cascading of dispersion compensation cards.

TIP
All the cards LASxC, LAMxC and LALxC also have internal bus connection for EOW,

Amplifier Pump Cards

To account for the variable optical conditions in backbone networks, such as different
span lengths, fiber types and fiber properties, SURPASS hiT7300 has developed an
external amplifier pump implementation. By equipping the external pump card PL-1 in
combination with the LALx amplifier cards, a higher output power of these amplifiers
can be achieved. By equipping the Raman pump card PRC-1 in combination
(counter-directional) with the LALPC-1 pre-amplifier card or LALIC-1 in-line amplifier
card, a higher gain can be achieved for the respective span.

1.3.2.1

External PUMP Card (PL-1)

The external pump card (PL-1) is used to increase the output power of the
preamplifier, booster amplifier and inline amplifiers on the various amplifier cards.
The PL-1 is an active card, which means it is equipped with its own card controller. It
also contains an on-board EEPROM to store card inventory data that can be
requested by the network management system.

1.3.3

Raman amplification

To extend the distances between NE's (high loss spans) SURPASS hiT7300
optionally employs Raman amplification.
The basis of Raman amplification is the energy scattering effect called Stimulated
Raman Scattering (SRS), a non-linear effect inherent to the fiber itself. SRS involves
a transfer of power from an optical pump signal at a higher frequency (lower
wavelength) to one at a lower frequency (higher wavelength), due to inelastic
collisions in the fiber medium. If on optical pump wavelength is launched backwards
into the end of a transmission fiber it propagates upstream in the opposite direction of
the optical traffic wavelength, this is called counterdirectional pumping. The pump
wavelength induces the SRS effect resulting in amplification of the optical traffic
wavelength. With a sufficient amount of pump wavelength power the optical traffic
wavelength slowly starts to deviate from the usual linear decrease, reaches a
minimum level and finally increases when approaching the fiber end The distributed
Raman amplification process results in an improvement of the OSNR budget by
several dB thereby allowing networks with very long transmission span in
combination with optical booster and preamplifiers.

1.3.3.1

Raman Pump Card (PRC-1)

The following picture shows the simplified internal architecture of the Raman pump
card (PRC-1). The pump signals from the Laser diodes are first multiplexed from two
different wavelengths, and the multiplexed pump light is counterdirectionally coupled
into the fiber carrying the received traffic signal. By appropriate power settings for the
two pump wavelengths, a flat gain spectrum can be achieved for different fiber types.
The pump laser power is controlled via external monitor diodes and the output power
is set by software. All pump lasers are also temperature controlled to maintain their
stability. Two optical monitor ports are provided, one monitors the Raman output
power and the other one monitors the line power.
The Raman PUMP card is utilized together with the LALPC or LALIC amplifier card to
increase the possible length of a span.
TIP
For Automatic Power Shut Down (APSD) an on board detection of the OSC carrier
frequency is designed. The OSC signal is scrambled to have enough carrier signal
power to provide APSD function.
Due to the laser pumps and the complexity of the card, the PRC-1 occupies two 30
mm slots of the shelf.

Dispersion compensation scheme

The chromatic dispersion has the effect of spreading the signal spectrum so much
that the inter-symbol interference no longer allows an accurate determination of a
single one bit or a single zero bit. Dispersion compensation is used to counteract
the chromatic dispersion which a signal undergoes as it travels through a section of
optical fiber. Depending on the bit rate a system can tolerate a certain degree of
dispersion; the rest has to be compensated for to avoid bit errors. This can be done
in different ways, using pre- and post-compensation, so a kind of saw tooth profile
results. The important fact is that the total allowable dispersion at the receive side is
not exceeded.

1.4.1

Dispersion Compensation Cards

The DCM's (Dispersion Compensation modules) are utilizing either Fiber Bragg
Gratings (FBG) or Dispersion Compensating Fiber (DCF). DCF is a spool of fiber with
the opposite dispersion characteristics of the fiber used for signal transmission,
hence compressing the signal for better optical performance. FBG's are based on
chirped fiber grating technology and offer smaller footprint, very low insertion loss,
and lower nonlinear effects compared to DCF.
In SURPASS hiT7300 the DCM modules are located on DCM cards which are
physically equipped in the same shelf as all other equipment and are visible via local
craft terminal or network management system. No special DCM shelf is required for
DCM card placement.
The front panel of a DCM cards contains two optical connectors, one input port of the
DWDM signal before dispersion compensation and one for output port of the DWDM
signal after dispersion compensation. The DCM input and output ports are connected
to the interstage access port of an optical amplifier.
There are various DCM card types available for providing dispersion compensation of
different lengths and types of transmission fibers. A certain DCM module on a DCM
card is denoted by the card name.

TIP
The strategy for choosing DCM's is highly system dependent and is influenced by the
optical performance limiting effect. The implementation of the DCM strategy and the
correct calculation of the required residual dispersion is a feature of the network
design tool SURPASS TransNet. Both DCM types can be combined to achieve the
optimum network performance and the lowest system cost.

Transponder, Muxponder, and Regenerator


Functions

Each transponder or muxponder (=multiplexing transponder) converts one or several


of its client signals of unspecific wavelength into a colored line signal with specific
wavelength according to the SURPASS hiT7300 wavelength plan. Each transponder
line interface provides an excellent span performance for regional as well as long
haul networks by using optical DWDM modules with high dispersion tolerance in
combination with FEC or SUPER-FEC ((SUPER-) Forward Error Correction). Each
transponder/muxponder card can also support optical channel protection (OChP) for
its line interface(s), which allows carrier-class survivability for its client services.
The SURPASS hiT7300 transponder cards for 2.5 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s line rates can
easily also be used as optical channel regenerator cards. Each regenerator card
performs 3R-regeneration (re-amplification, re-shaping, re-timing) of an optical
channel signal of data rate levels 2.5 Gb/s or 10 Gb/s, which is necessary if the
maximum pure-optical span length is exceeded in the operators network.

1.5.1

Multipurpose Modular Transponder, Muxponder, and


Regenerator Cards

The SURPASS hiT7300 transponder, muxponder, and regenerator cards offer a


broad range of fully transparent data transmission services for various user
applications. They are designed for interfacing to optical channels of data rate levels
2.5 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s within an Optical Transport Network (OTN) and support all the
fault supervision and performance monitoring functions according ITU-T G.709.
TIP
Note that SURPASS hiT7300 transponder cards can be used as integral part of
SURPASS hiT7300 NE's, or alternatively for interworking with SURPASS hiT7500 or
any other 3rd party DWDM equipment.

1.5.1.1

I04T2G5-1 card

I04T2G5-1 card can be used as transponder/muxponder or as 3R-regenerator,


depending on its configuration.
All traffic ports are realized as hot pluggable SFP module which can be equipped
depending on the specific traffic demands for this card, thus providing lowest CAPEX
by a single card type for many different applications.
The card provides the following traffic interfaces:

2 pluggable (SFP modules) DWDM line ports;


4 pluggable (SFP modules) client ports for the following client interface types:
up to 2x STM-16/OC-48, or
up to 4x GE (1000Base-X/T), or
up to 2x OTU-1
TIP
Also mixed client interfaces (2xGE + 1x STM16, 2xGE + 1x OTU1, 1x STM16 + 1x
OTU1) are possible.
In case the I04T2G5-1 operates as a transponder/muxponder card, the card offers
access for 1 or 2 optical channels with OTU-1 standard data rate (2.67 Gb/s) and
FEC acc. ITU-T G.709 at its line interfaces. The required wavelength is realized by
plugging the correct DWDM SFP module, which is verified by the NEs controller
function.
In case the I04T2G5-1 operates as a 3R-regenerator card, only the two line interface
modules are equipped for bidirectional regeneration of an OTU-1 optical channel.
In case of Gigabit Ethernet (GE) client signals, 2 client signals are mapped into the
OPU1 payload of an OTU-1 optical channel via GFP-T generic framing procedure
and GFP-T frame multiplexing acc. ITU-T G.7041. This provides a fully transparent
transmission of GE services at wire speed over the optical transport network and at
the same time achieves efficient bandwidth utilization of the OTU1 optical channel.
Mapping via GFP-T avoids any intermediate mapping into SDH/SONET layers and
thus simplifies management of GE services.
In case of an STM-16/OC-48 SDH/SONET client signal, one such client signal is
mapped into an OPU1 payload of an OTU-1 optical channel acc. ITU-T G.709.
In case of an OTU-1 client signal (IrDI), the ODU1 optical data unit is transparently
passed between client and line interface for providing a transparent optical channel
including payload and ODU1 overhead.

I01T10G-1 card

I01T10G-1 card can be used as transponder or as 3R-regenerator, depending on its


configuration.
The client traffic port is realized as hot pluggable XFP module which can be equipped
depending on the specific traffic demands for this card, thus providing lowest CAPEX
by a single card type for many different applications. The SUPER-FEC scheme in
combination with dispersion tolerant optical receiver provides an excellent dispersion
tolerance for regional and long haul applications.
The card provides the following traffic interfaces:

1 DWDM line port with:


tunable wavelength long haul interface for I01T10G/LH/LHD, or
fixed wavelength regional interface for I01T10G/Regio;

1 pluggable (XFP module) client port for the following client interface types:
1x STM-64/OC-192, or
1x 10GE (10GBASE-R/-W), or
1x OTU-2.
In case the I01T10G-1 card operates as a transponder card, the card offers access
for 1 optical channel with OTU-2V standard frame structure acc. ITU-T G.709, it
provides SUPER-FEC acc G.959.1 (scheme I.7) with 10% FEC overhead thus
leading to an optical channel data rate of 11.0 Gb/s or 11.35 Gb/s depending on
STM64/OC192/10GBASE-W or 10GBASE-R client signal type, respectively. The
required wavelength is realized by automatic configuration of the tunable DWDM
optics on I01T10G/LH/LHD, or by plugging the correct wavelength version of the
I01T10G/Regio, which is verified by the NEs controller function.
To realize the 3R-regenerator function a by back-to-back configuration of two
I01T10G cards via the OTU-2 clients can be used.
In case of an OTU-2 client signal (IrDI), the ODU2 optical data unit is transparently
passed between client and line interface for providing a transparent optical channel
including payload and ODU2 overhead.

System management Function


Optical Supervisory Channel

SURPASS hiT7300 offers a 10 Mbit/s bandwidth Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC)


to provide communications between all SURPASS hiT7300 NE's.
The OSC supports all the network management communication required to set up
and maintain a DWDM system configuration, fault management, performance
monitoring, and software maintenance.
The OSC is a bidirectional data channel whereby the same wavelength of 1510 nm is
used for both transmission directions, each on a separate fiber. The OSC wavelength
lies just outside the C-Band of the used optical channel wavelengths, and is
terminated at each SURPASS hiT7300 network element (ONN and OLR). Therefore,
even in the rare occurrence of an optical amplifier failure, the OSC and hence all
management communications remain intact.
The following table shows an overview of the functions supported by the OSC:
Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC) Functions:
Data communication channel for the internal Data Communications Network DCN
(Ethernet based);
Link control information for initializing and maintaining of the optical OMS/OTS trails
(e.g. number of equipped channels, current link states, etc.);
Control Information for Automatic Power Shutdown (APSD);
Two bidirectional User Channels (Ethernet based);
Two Engineering Orderwire (EOW) channels;
Trace Identifier for the optical OMS/OTS trail;
Forward / Backward Defect Indication (FDI / BDI) within OMS/OTS.

Control and management Function

Optical link control is intended to ensure optimized optical link operation in any link
state. The goals are to maintain sufficient link performance and consequently an
equally distributed OSNR level at each channel's tail end (OSNR at electrical receiver
or regenerator locations). Within each individual NE, the Controller card serves as
central instance to manage and control all optical link relevant information. Controller
cards within an optical link must exchange management information as well as
measurement data between each other.
TIP
Link management information and measurement data needed for controlling the
optical link is exchanged between NE's via the optical supervisory channel.
NE external communication links and NE internal communication links are
established to properly operate all optical link control mechanisms for the whole link
and within the NE.
Within each shelf the Controller card communicates, with all "passive" cards (e.g.,
filter and attenuator cards), using the I2C bus. "Active" cards (e.g., line amplifier and
Raman pump cards) use the amplifier-pump control bus to communicate with the
Controller card.
The communication between shelves is achieved with two Ethernet LAN connectors
on the Controller card.

Data Communication Network

The Data Communication Network (DCN) provides TMN access, via Ethernet
interfaces Q and QF using SNMPv3 and HTTP protocols, to all the NE's within one
sub-network. The Q interface allows the SURPASS hiT7300 system to be connected
to a TMN system, e.g., TNMS. The QF interface has a pre-configured IP address for
a direct local connection to the LCT. The LCT obtains its IP address from a DHCP
server on the NE. In addition to the Ethernet interfaces of the NE's, the underlying
DCN provides interconnected Data Communication Channels (DCC) to operate all
connected NE's.
The SURPASS hiT7300 DCN network is implemented as a switched network and the
Message Communication Function (MCF) is implemented as a L2 switch.
The following management protocols are provided by the SURPASS hiT7300 NE's:

SNMP V3 protocol between NE's and TNMS Core/ TNMS CT/ @CT is provided
which can also be used as a direct interface to customer OS.

HTTP protocol used for upload of @CT applet. A Web-based LCT, called @CT,

offers a fully functional Element Manager. @CT is a Java Web Start application
pre-installed on the Controller card of an NE. The NE access via browser provides
a link which allows the @CT download, and the consequent launch of the LCT.

FTP protocol used for file transfer (e.g. PM/alarm data, commissioning files, SW
download).

Additional protocols and functions for network control and automation are included:

34

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol);


802.1q (VLAN tagging);
802.1p (Priority based switching);
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol);
NTP (Network Time Protocol);
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol);
NAPT (Network Address Port Translation).

Gateway Function (GF) of NE

The Gateway Function (GF) provides one single IP address for a sub-network and is
the connection point between NE and a network management system. The GF then
maps different TCP ports to different NE's with internal IP addresses in this
subnetwork; implements a Network Address Translation Port forwarding (NATP) to
hide the DCN internal IP addresses from the carrier data network and a FTP proxy
for file transfer between an external FTP server and the NE's. The GF separates the
embedded DCN from the customer DCN.
At least two Gateway Functions (GF) are implemented on different NE's which
provides redundant access to the SURPASS hiT7300 DCN.
To maintain a loop-free topology of a switched DCN network/subnetwork, the
SURPASS hiT7300 supports the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).

Controller Cards functions

Each shelf is to be equipped with a controller card at a dedicated slot position. There
is always one main shelf which includes the NE controller and there can be several
extension shelves which have a shelf controller. The controller cards act as a NE
controller on the main shelf and the sub-shelves, mainly providing NE central
interfaces and functions.
The Controller cards provide the central monitoring and control functions for the
system, as well as the MCF to operate the Q and QF communication interfaces.
Using these interfaces, the Controller card performs the following main functions:

Fault Management:
Monitoring all system alarms and forwarding their states to the network
management system.

Performance Management:
On request, sending all optical performance management information to the
network management system and/or a craft terminal.

Configuration Management:
Configuring the system to either default settings or to persistently stored settings
initiated by the network management system and/or a craft terminal.

Security Management:
Controlling the individual access via the network management system and/or a
craft terminal to particular NE functions, using a hierarchical security management
user ID and password concept.

Equipment Management:
Monitoring the actual and required shelf equipping.

Communication Management:
Implementing the MCF for the communication between all NE's and the network
management system.

Software Management:
Performing all software downloads, uploads, and software integrity functions.

Real Time Management:


Controlling the real-time clock.

Providing alarm outputs from shelves and racks.


Controlling the NE alarm LED's (e.g., major/minor, for communication and
equipment alarms).

Controller Cards types

Three types of controller cards are available as described below:

CCEP-1, NE and main shelf extended performance controller card with TIF/Alarm
interfaces;

CCMP-1, NE and main shelf extended performance controller card without


TIF/Alarm interfaces;

CCSP-1, extension shelf standard performance controller card.


The CCEP-1 and CCMP-1 controller cards consist of the same controller card
motherboard, where only the CCEP-1 includes an additional module for TIF/Alarm
interfaces. Both CCEP-1 and CCMP-1 can be equipped in the main shelf for
operation as the NE controller card and providing the external management
interfaces (Q, QF) of the NE.
The CCSP card is equipped in each extension shelf of the hiT7300. The front plate of
the CCSP card looks exactly as the CCMP card except that it has eliminated all the
redundant functions (e.g. Q, QF interface) that are already available in the main
controller card (CCEP/CCMP). This results in reduction of component and power
supply requirement sufficient for management of an extension shelf.
The following table explains the external interfaces provided on the front panel of the
controller cards:

2.1.2

Optical Network Node (ONN)

The ONN is the main network node which terminates an Optical Multiplex Section
(OMS) by multiplexing/demultiplexing of individual optical channels. Each optical
multiplex section also terminates an Optical Transport Section (OTS), i.e. a DWDM
link to a neighbor ONN or OLR. The number of OMS links terminated by an ONN
determines the nodal degree of the ONN.
ONN can realize the following network element functions:

ONN-T or OLT (Optical Line Terminal), which terminates 1 OMS (nodal degree 1);
ONN-I/ONN-S or OADM (Optical Add/drop Multiplexer), which terminates 2 OMSs
(nodal degree 1 or 2).

OADM node type can be realized as large OADM or small OADM, depending on the
number of optical channels which must be added / dropped at each OMS of the
OADM. Using a small OADM up to 20% of the traffic can be added/dropped at each
OMS (West and East), the remaining channels being passed-through as express
channels. Using a large OADM, each OMS (West and East) is the completely
terminated, i.e. all channels are demultiplexed/multiplexed at each OMS regardless
whether they are add/drop or express channels.
The ONN NE's support all the defined types of:

46

Controller cards;
Line amplifier cards with booster and preamplifier capabilities;
Filter cards;
Dispersion compensation module cards;
Transponder cards;
Raman amplification together with one line amplifier card.

OLT Applications

The main task of the OLT is multiplexing / demultiplexing and amplification of the
optical signal. In the forward direction, individual wavelengths are multiplexed,
amplified and inserted into a single fiber. In the reverse direction, the wavelength
division multiplexed signal from a single fiber is amplified and demultiplexed into
individual wavelengths.
The choice and structure of the optical multiplexing technology for the "SURPASS
hiT7300" Optical Line Terminal (OLT) takes several factors into consideration, such
as the channel granularity requirements, the reliability of the technology, modularity
and subsequent upgradeability, and some other factors.

2.1.2.2

OADM Applications

The OADM NE used for amplification, dispersion compensation, and


routing/termination of optical channels. Channels or group of channels that are
demultiplexed at an OADM NE are either terminated at the client equipment or they
continue into another hiT7300 NE.
SURPASS hiT7300 offers a simple scalable architecture for any OADM application
independent of whether the required add/drop capacity is 10%, 50% or 100%.
Large OADM Application, ONN-I (100% Add/Drop)
For large OADM applications with up to 100% add/drop capability at each DWDM line
interface, various terminal filter architectures can be used.
A certain number of 4-channel subbands, which are accessible by
multiplexing/demultiplexing at a DWDM line interface, can be directly patchedthrough (express traffic) between West and East line sides for corresponding
subbands. From each completely demultiplexed/multiplexed subband, any individual
channels can also be patched-through between West and East sides.
For power adjustment (preemphasis) of subbands and add/drop channels, optical
attenuators (either by fixed optical attenuators (OA), or variable optical attenuators
(VOA) on O08VA cards) may be needed for achieving optimum optical performance
and maximum reach of optical channels. Power adjustment can be done on subband
level or for single optical channels, depending on the concerned frequency (band)
and the available power margins, the optimum placements of (V)OA's is determined
by SURPASS TransNet tool.
Small OADM Application, ONN-S (20% Add/Drop)
The following Figure shows as an example the filter architecture of a small OADM,
which allows up to 20% (8 channels); add/drop capacity for West and East line side,
respectively. Each F04MDU-1 card gives add/drop capability for 4 channels of the
respective Cx subband at the corresponding traffic side. For each subband to be
added / dropped, the related F04MDU-1 card has to be equipped for both traffic sides
(symmetrical architecture).
Any subband which is not added/dropped is automatically forwarded (express traffic)
between West and East sides.

2.1.3

SON Applications

The SON (Standalone Optical Node) is a pure passive DWDM NE (w/o optical
amplifiers) for optical networks within metropolitan areas.
For simple point-to-point applications with low optical channel count, the SON NE
allows to cover 20 km to 80 km distances over a G.652 fiber with the SURPASS
hiT7300 transponder cards. The exact reach depends on the number of multiplexed
channels due to optical filter insertion losses and has to be calculated for the
respective network application.
Also optical network configurations consisting of a linear chain of passive optical
terminals with intermediate passive OADM can be build by SON NE's, assuming that
reach reduction due to the additional insertion loss of a passive OADM can be
tolerated.
In contrast to the previously described ONN with optimized DWDM filter structures for
different EOL channel numbers, there are no predefined filter structures for the SON.
Any filter structure is supported which consists of F04MDU filters cards (for accessing
individual channels) and optionally the F08SB filter card as red/blue splitter.

2.1.3.1

SON Filter Structure

The following Figures show the possible filter structures for multiplexing /
demultiplexing different number of optical channels with regard to maximum reach
due to insertion loss.

hiT7300 racks

The SURPASS hiT7300 rack is designed to meet the demands for environmental
compatible product design and the customer demands for minimum space
consumption. This requires a mechanical concept with respect to cabling, screening
attenuation and power dissipation.
An empty rack is available to accommodate the sub racks. The racks used comply
with the dimensions recommended by ETSI (European Telecommunications
Standards Institute): W = 600 mm, H = 2200 mm and D = 300 mm (ETS 300 119 - 2)
or with the dimensions recommended by ANSI (American National Standard Institute)
W = 660 mm, H = 2134 mm and D = 305 mm (Telcordia GR 63).
The rack is operated by an AC/DC station converter and a battery 48/60V
(ETSI/ANSI), positive grounded. Voltage range is between -40.5 V DC to -75 V DC
(nominal voltage -48/-60 V DC).
The racks can be installed individually or in combination. Independent network
elements can also be fitted into a rack. The rack is installed and attached below a
planar cable shelf or to the wall depending on the local circumstances. To allow this,
the rack has a height-adjustable adapter. The lower part of the rack is fixed to the
bottom rails with two pins or alternatively screwed to the floor. Height-adjustable feet
can compensate for unevenness in the floor of up to 25 mm.
The bottom of the rack is open so as to let in fresh air; likewise the top of the rack is
open as an air outlet and cable feed-through.
All electrical lines (connection lines for the telecommunications center, cabling
between the sub racks and the rack terminal panel) as well as the FO lines will be
routed using the upright rails of the rack and are secured with cable ties.
Rack, sub-rack and modules are grounded by multiple mechanical and electrical
connections to the planar shelf (protection earth).

3.1.1

hiT7300 Rack Layout

Each rack contains a power distribution panel (PDP) typically mounted near the top.
The fuse panel contains sufficient number of fuses (or circuit breakers) to protect all
the dual redundant power feeds that are connected to each shelf in the rack. Each
rack may be also equipped with an optional Low Voltage Disconnect device (LVD)
mounted above the PDP. The LVD monitors the DC voltage feeds supplied to the
rack from the battery distribution bay, and will automatically block a power feed
whose voltage drops below the lowest allowed limit. Thus, the LVD prevents low
voltage from reaching the shelves in the rack. When the voltage feed recovers to the
proper operating range, the LVD will automatically unblock it.
Beside the PDP and optionally LVD on top of the rack, up to three single row subracks can be mounted in one rack.

Hardware & Functionality

In order to achieve a minimum rack spacing by allowing the outlets of the optical
cables to be in front of the rack beams, it is recommended to use the available
special ETSI rack for assembling SURPASS hiT7300 shelves.
SURPASS hiT7300 shelves can also be assembled within standard ETSI racks.
However, in case of mounting a hiT7300 shelf into a standard ETSI rack, the usable
cabling space in front of the rack beams is rather small which leads to cabling
limitations for typical ONN applications. Therefore, it is advised to apply standard
ETSI rack assembling only in case of OLR applications.
TIP
SURPASS hiT7300 sub-rack can be equipped with the front cover to protect optical
cabling against damage (optional, not applicable in combination with rack front door).

Shelf fan unit and air filter

The shelf fan unit and air filter are mounted in the middle of the shelf, between the
fiber routing guides and the connector panel.
Fan unit:
Each shelf is equipped with a fan unit that provides cooling airflow for the cards. The
fan unit is held securely in place by hand-operated latches. The operating status of
the four individual fans inside the unit is monitored. Detection of a fault condition will
raise the appropriate system alarm and light the LED on the front of the fan unit.
Air filter:
The fan unit contains a one-piece replaceable air filter element to protect the shelf
from ingesting environmental dust or other airborne contaminants. Air filter
replacement must be treated as a periodic maintenance procedure to ensure that the
fans are able to sustain optimum shelf operating temperature.
WARNING
An excessively dirty air filter will reduce cooling airflow.

Cable outlet

In order to minimize the rack spacing of the sub-racks, the outlets of the optical
cables is available in front of the rack beams. Each sub-rack has a cable outlet which
is placed below the screened room of the sub-rack. All cables can be bent over
defined radius (radius of bend = 30 mm) in order to avoid any problems with
transmission of the optical signals.

Mechanical design of modules


Basic card design

Each card consists of a multi-layer PCB with a surrounding ESD grounding frame
and a face plate. The components are fitted on both sides of the PCB.
The SIPAC connectors at the rear of the card as well as the corresponding SIPAC
connectors on the sub-rack backplane are fitted with mechanical card coding
elements. Each card can only be fully inserted into a sub-rack slot that is suitable for
this card, so that fundamental sub-rack equipping errors (which possibly might cause
damages or extensive malfunctions) are impossible. These mechanical coding
elements also ensure the proper centering and grounding of the card in the sub-rack.
All cards have insertion and removal aids that fit into the holes of the card guides in
the sub-rack. No special tools are necessary for inserting or extracting the cards.
WARNING
Note that installing cards requires slow and careful handling. Never apply
excessive force!
Cards comprise all devices PCB (printed circuit boards) which can be installed by a
simple plug-in procedure. Each card can be fixed with captive screws on the top and
bottom card levers. The grounding pins of the SIPAC connectors are pre-mating, so
that they first of all establish the ground connection, when the card is being inserted
into the sub-rack.

Card faceplate LED's

Each "active" card, i.e., those that contain an on-board processor, has a green OK
LED and a red Fault LED on its faceplate that indicates card status. "Passive" cards
(e.g., Filter cards) do not have any LED's.
The following information can be obtained from the "OK" LED and from the "Fault"
LED:
Element

Color

Explanation

OK LED

Green When the OK LED is on, it indicates that the card is powered,
operating fault-free, and is capable of carrying traffic

Fault
LED

Red

When the Fault LED is on, it indicates that the card has detected
an on-board hardware or software failure. When the failure
condition clears, the Fault LED is extinguished. The Fault LED is
powered by a backplane power bus, ensuring that a card can light
its Fault LED even if its own on-board power supply fails

Cards and optical connectors labeling

The visible surfaces of the insertion and removal aids are used for card identifying
labels.
The front panel of an optical card is either fitted with optical fiber connectors or with
SFP modules. The available fiber connector variants, depending on the card types,
are listed in TED.

SURPASS hiT7300 optical cabling

SURPASS hiT7300 equipment operates at high laser power levels. Use extreme
caution when connecting or disconnecting fiber, since high optical power levels can
be present at card connectors or fiber ends.
WARNING
Never look directly into the end of a fiber, patchcord, fiber pigtail or card
connector until you are sure that no light is present. Permanent eye damage or
blindness can result if exposed to such optical power levels - even for
extremely short durations.
In order to avoid cable damage when routing the optical connections, the following
fiber guiding parts of the system have to be used:

Fiber duct: Supports safe fiber routing from rack to rack.


Edge protection: Avoids bending of optical fiber running from or to the fiber guides
of a shelf (shelf-to-shelf connections).

Cable slots: After connecting the fibers at the cards they have to be guided

through the cable slots. In combination with adjacent space and the bending radius
(25 mm) given by the guiding plastic parts, this will avoid accidental crimping and
squeezing of the optical fiber.

After connecting the cables at the plug-in modules, they have to be run through the
cable slots. Then the cable has to be bent sideward. In order to avoid cable
squeezing, the cables are bent over plastic parts. Distribute the cables in the cable
ducts symmetrically. Therefore, usage of the left or right side of the bay has to be
checked in any case.
The cables are handled sideward to the cable outlets of the shelf. Over length (slack)
must be stored in the cable compartment.
The minimum bending radius of the optical cables is 25 mm. The cable slots directly
below the plug-in module have to be used. Up to 16 optical cables can be run
through one slot.
Over-length (slack) must be stored in the Fiber Tray.
