The NE hierarchy is organized in the following way :

[equipment view] [rack view] subrack board port TP

The navigation through different levels of the NE hierarchy is performed by double clicking on theobjects.

The first level shows the subrack level of the Equipment view1. by double clicking on a board body, the board level of the Equipment view can be reached2. by double clicking on a port body contained in the board,the port level of the Equipment view can be

reached the port view displays the inner TPs.

I-Extract the EQUICO board.

II-Move the micro-switch inside the board as indicated in the picture below.

III-Insert the EQUICO and wait until the leds on the front of the board turn on.

IV-Verify that the Database is cleared: all the slots should appear empty, except for: EQUICO, HCMatrix(main) and CONGI-A

ALCATEL1660SMNote: A3T3:45Mb/s Access Card


63/272

In case of 45Mb/s interface, a further configuration is needed, compared with 34Mb/sinterface, due to the fact that a different approach is specified for DS3 in the Americanstandard.In fact, in case of DS3, the central Office cable must be equalized at transmit side, by doingthe appropriate pre-setting, through the Craft Terminal, in order to maintain constantreference level at the Distribution Frame.

The Port card P3E3/T3 is the same for 34 and 45 Mb/s.

T3-63

The Access card (A3E3 or A3T3) is different for 34 Mb/s (E3) and 45 Mb/s (T3), due to thisfact the DS3 (45) interface must be equalized at transmit side by inserting the appropriateLBON (Line Built Out Network).

T3-148

ALCATEL1660SMNotes: Protection State & Commands

The protection events can be equipment/signal failure, signal degrade or external command or a

combination of them.The "Events" will be served if some actions ( B/S=bridges and switches ) are executed and the networkhas been updated.The "Events" will be signaled if the K1/K2 protocol communicates to the network nodes what hashappened without execute actions


149/272

happened, without execute actions.

A single ring failure is completely restored but not two ring failures. When are present multiple ringfailures the automatic B/S protection will try to maintain on all the possible connections.

T3-149

The K1/K2 communication protocol MS-SPRing is generated from the two nodes adjacent to"Event " via the protection communication channels.

A node is defined tail-end when it firstly receives the "Event", the second node is defined head-end when it receives back the protocol answer.

ALCATEL1660SMProtection State & Commands:lockout

If the node is tail-end,

the lockout working ring command disable the protection MS-SPRing mechanisms,

if the node is head-end ,

the lockout working ring serves the request node protection (protection not disable).


150/272

the lockout working ring command failure and a ring failure along a different section, the ring protection is served

(protection not disable).

The ring protection is disabled if the ring failure has occurred in another ring section .

ALCATEL1660SMProtection State & Commands:forced & manual

The Force command executes a forced protection. The Force Ring command substitutes the working channels (AU4 1to 8) with the opposite direction protection channels (AU4 9 to 16) between two adjacent nodes.

NOTE:The Force Span command is not operative in 2 fiber MS-SPring.

The Manual command is similar to Force command but it is at a lower priority level with respect to automatic MS-SPRing. The general priority scale (if you give the command on the same port):

lockout Protecting Span.

ALCATEL1660SMNotes:forced & manual

When a force ring command is applied a next working failure is not able to modify the forced configuration applied.

That is because force ring command has a higher priority respect to the "Automatic" working protection. In thiscondition the ring can be split according the location of command and event.

Vice versa the " Manual" protection is exceeded by the "Automatic" protection. FS-R is for "Force Switching

Request", SF-R is for "Signal Failure Request

ALCATEL1660SMNotes: Cross.Connection: Operation Sequence

To create a cross-connection: start from Add TP in Transmission menu

It is necessary to Terminate and to Structure an AU4 , before executing a cross-connection involving aTu-n within an STM-n port ( not needed for AU4 to AU4 CxC).

After terminating and structuring an AU4 , cross-connections can be executed between Vc-n and Tu-n(e.g. between VC12 and TU12 ).

The windows involved in creating a cross-connection are:

Main window to select the Transmission menu


179/272

Note: this is one of the possible options to create cross-connections. It is suggested to go to Appendix-I: Introduction to Cross/Connection, BEFORE GOING ON !!

8 In the following, the Cross-connection Management is described trough four examples, corresponding to four objectives.

The first two objectives are:8 Objective 1: to connect a 2 Mb/s port to an STM16 interface8 Objective 2: to bypass a VC12 through two STM16 ports .

Cross-Connection Management window opens Select Search with the desired filter :the list of existing cross-connections will appear.

Select a cross-connection (a line) to enable ModifyCreate is enabled if the local Operator is authorized by the OS and if not-connected TP are available.

ALCATEL1660SMNotes:Terminating AU4

The Objective of this procedure is: to connect a 2 Mb/s port to an STM16 interface. This is theoperation which is usually done to drop/insert a PDH signal from an SDH stream.

In this example it is assumed that the cross-connection is bidirectiona l and not protected .Procedure is quite similar in case of monodirectional or protected cross-connection and it is carried outin two steps:

Configure a Tu12 held into an Au4 as cross-connection input;Configure a VC12 as cross-connection output (or viceversa)
