Tellabs 8170 Cluster Node

Tellabs 8170 cluster node is built in a master-slave architecture.
a master subrack and 1-8 slave subracks

The maximum cross-connect port capacity is 8 * 64 Mbit/s = 512 Mbit/s = 256 * 2048 kbit/s port = 64 * 8448 kbit/s
Each slave subrack adds 64 Mbit/s to the cross-connect port capacity. Cross-connections are done only at TS level, 64 kbit/s.

It can be expanded without disturbing the existing traffic.

VMUX (Tellabs 8150 Basic Node)

The Tellabs 8150 basic node is the basic building block of the Tellabs 8100 system. It is used in local exchange or backbone networks or customer premises networks, depending on the needed services and application. The cross-connect port capacity is 64 Mbit/s = 32 * 2048 kbit/s port = 8 * 8448 kbit/s port.

Tellabs 8140 Midi Node

The Tellabs 8140 midi node is a Tellabs 8150 basic node with midi subrack (8 unit slots). It is a small flexible access node for customer premises. One-slot wide multifunctional interface unit XCG is designed for the Tellabs 8140 midi node. It supports mainly the same interface units as Tellabs 8150 basic node.

 The Tellabs 8120 mini node is functionally very close to the Tellabs 8150 basic node. Common units (control unit, crossconnect unit and power supply unit) are integrated in the node. Mechanical space is the limiting factor.
2-4 interface modules with variable number of interfaces/channels supported.

Tellabs 8120 Mini Node

The cross-connect port capacity is 64 Mbit/s.

Due to the limitation of 6 physical interfaces it is impossible to use all the available capacity.

 The Tellabs 8130 micro node is especially targeted for mobile networks.
Suited to be located at base station sites where space is usually limited.

Tellabs 8130 Micro Node

Four G.704/G.703 2048 kbit/s interfaces Optional alarm interface module (6 inputs, 2 outputs) The cross-connect capacity is 64 Mbit/s.

Why called Units ?

Several unit types for different kind of data Tellabs 8100 unit contains: main unit, interface modules and power supply module. Separate power supply module is required for each interface unit.

Network Hierarchy
Different node types for different levels

Backbone level Intermediate/ Consolidation level Access level

Tellabs 8160 Accelerator Node A111 > The Tellabs 8160 accelerator node A111 is an access node combining PDH and SDH technologies. > PDH features: > Support for many existing interface units > Two X-buses and consequently 2 x 64 Mbit/s = 128 Mbit/s capacity > Applications: e.g. DSLAM > Cross-connections are done only at TS level, 64 kbit/s

7 Switch Node:It is an N.E with ADM, LTM and SDXC. Operated with the network manager

SINGLE SUBRACK and MIDI SUBRACK

Subrack types
Midi subrack (8 Slots) Single subrack (16 slots) Double sub rack (Node A111) (32 slots Double rack I.e. 16+16)

Master subrack
mechanically similar to the double subrack Difference in motherboard and the bus extender board

 The common units provide the generic functionality for the node e.g. control, alarm handling, unit setting backup, cross-connect and power. They are placed in predefined slots in the subrack

NETWORK HIERARCHY:

A network can be divided into access (or customer premises), consolidation (or local office) and backbone levels .
At access level number of NTUs & nodes big but capacity per node is small. At Consolidation level & backbone levelstransported capacities are big but the number of nodes small. cluster nodes are used in the backbone and consolidation levels, basic nodes and accelerator nodes A111 in all the three levels micro nodes are typically used in access and consolidation levels in mobile networks and mini nodes are located on customer premises.

The interfaces of units can be either trunk interfaces or user access interfaces The PDH trunks can be of the capacity of 2048 kbit/s or 8448 kbit/s and they are framed according to the standard G.704. T1 is the first level in the American PDH with the capacity of 1544 kbit/s. The trunk capacity can also be of n*64 kbit/s, with n=2...33. Split trunk combines several parallel trunk components into a higher bit rate trunk.

POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM

four types of power units: PFU-A, PFU-B, PFU-H and PAU (PAU, PAU-5T, PAU10T) O/p voltage 48VDC

Power Fuse Unit (PFU )

PFU-A supplies the (DC) voltage to the subrack. PFU-B can be used for protection. PFU-A in slot one and PFU-B in slot two PFU-A provides ~ -48V and +5V. PFU-B provides only ~ -48V. +5V is used for resetting units and supplying power for the extension card

SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT SCU and SCU-H The purpose of SCU/SCU-H is to control and monitor the functions of the subrack. There has to be one control unit in every node. SCU/SCU-H can have optional modules. SCU can be used in basic nodes and in the slaves of cluster nodes. SCU-H can be used in basic nodes, in the slaves of cluster nodes and in accelerator nodes A111.

Control Bus (VTP Bus)

VTP is an abbreviation of the words Virtual Token Protocol that is a collision-free media access method based on the token passing principle implemented by the aid of timers. The VTP bus is used for communication between the units within one subrack. Both buses are synchronous serial high-speed local area networks. The bit rate of the local VTP bus is 2 Mbit/s.

SYSTEM CROSS CONNECT UNIT- SXU

 The signal through the node is crossconnected in the node. The signal to be crossconnected is transported from the interface unit to the cross-connect bus (X-bus). The actual cross-connections are done in the crossconnect matrices in the cross-connect unit (SXU or XCG). After this, data are transported again to the X-bus and to the correct interface to be sent onwards to another node or an equipment. The delay of the signal in the SXU is one frame (125 s).

Cross Connect Unit Types:SXU-A and SXU-B

SXU-A and SXU-B are the cross-connect units used in the basic and midi nodes and XCG unit is used as a cross-connection unit in a midi node. The XCG multifunction unit is studied in detail in a chapter about XCG. SXU-A takes one unit slot, slot 15 (and 14 if protected) in the basic node, slot 7 (and 6) in a midi node. SXU-B is a two-slot wide unit in slot 14 (and 12) or slot 6 (and 4), respectively. Both the units provide a cross-connect capacity of 1043 tsB x 64 kbit/s = 66752 kbit/s.

GMH AND OTHER LINE UNITS

GMH G.704 unit having two ports,used for trunk application QMH Unit unit having four trunk ports G703-75-Q G703-120-Q XCG unit =SCU+SXU+QMH

There are two versions of the XCG unit: XCG-75 with 75 ohm G.703 interfaces and SMB connectors XCG-120 with 120 ohm G.703 interfaces and D type 9-pin female connectors The cross-connect capacity of the XCG is 64 Mbit/s. In addition, the XCG provides four fixed G.703 2048 kbit/s interfaces, which can be used as trunk or user access interfaces.

XCG LIMITATION:XCG cannot be protected. XCG cannot be used in a double subrack. XCG has memory of 64 kBytes, it does not support certain units in the same node.
