2. LIST OF FEATURES
This chapter describes the functionalities of this release of the 1660SM.
2.1.
EQUIPMENT
2.1.1. Automatic Laser Shutdown. ALS procedure is according to G958 and it is applicable at all STMN interface types. 2.1.2. I/O Loopback commands. The equipment is able to support the internal and line loops at all PDH and SDH interfaces: both payload and overhead information are involved. The commands allow to activate/deactivate on every I/O inter-face the loopback configuration at the external side or at the internal side. The Shelf Controller is in charge to perform the following loopbacks on the ports: PDH physical interfaces (2, 34, 45 and 140 Mb) Electrical and Optical STMN Interfaces
The following table describes the supported loopbacks for 1660SM:

2.1.3. VCi Loopback connections VCi loopback can be independently provided at every path level by means of the same connection facilities supported on the HO/LO matrices for the payload. Each of this loopback (internal and external) is performed as Unidirectional Cross Connection. 2.1.4. MS Signal Degrade w/threshold selection Threshold selection capability for the B2 bytes Multiplex Section Signal Degrade (MS SD) detection is possible according both to Poisson Model and Burst Model. 2.1.5. VC Signal Degrade w/threshold selection Threshold selection capability for the B3 and Bip2 bytes Signal Degrade (SD) detection is possible both according to Poisson and Burst Model. 2.1.6. I/O Housekeepings and Remote alarms The system, through the CONGI card placed in the Access Area, is able to provide the external connectors (housekeepings, remote alarms, Q2 interface, LAN interface....). The CONGI card has the capability to provide: 6 HouseKeeping input contacts 2 HouseKeeping output contacts 5 output remote alarms
If two CONGI are present (CONGIB equipped), the system is able to provide a double number of contacts (HK In/out and Remote => double capacity). The output remote alarms are typically used to report (to interface rack services or generic station devices) various equipment criteria like: power supply alarms, equipment alarm summary, Equipment Controller and QB3 interconnection status. It is possible to set the severity of the housekeeping inputs. It is possible to name the housekeeping inputs and outputs (16 characters). 2.1.6.1. Extended Alarm Contacts Management
Output housekeeping contacts can be configured to externally report the line defect status of the STM-N interfaces; each contact can be individually setup for this behavior in alternative to the output housekeeping management.

2.1.6.2.
Unit Alarms
Each port card or access card of the equipment is provided with a bicolor LED (green/red) on the front cover plate; this LED indicates: when red, internal failure. when green, in service unit. 2.1.6.3. Centralized Equipment Alarms
All the alarms detected by the units are collected by the EQUICO. Five LEDs available in the front cover allow synthesizing alarm messages: MAJOR, MINOR, ABN, WARNING, ATTD. 2.1.7. Programmable Alarm Severity The following classes are available by default: CRITICAL, MAJOR, MINOR, WARNING and NOT ALARMED. The operator is allowed to create his own classes on the basis of its network peculiarities. 2.1.8. LAN Access for Management The equipment can be connected to a Local Area Network infrastructure for direct interconnection to the TMN systems; this interface provides the physical access to the QB3 communication protocol stack via the IEEE802.3 standard. In 1660SM 10BaseT or 10Base2 options supported by the CONGIA card. 2.1.9. AUX/EOW channels access SERVICE Unit can provide auxiliary interfaces to terminate the AUX/EOW bytes extracted from the SDH overhead according to the following table.

The following EOW termination (phone interface) is available for 1660SM: Q.23 (DTMF). AUX bytes on 2Mbit/s G.703 port are managed. All the SOH bytes available for AUX/EOW terminations can be managed via ECT in order to support two types of applications: Local Access and XConnection.

2.1.10. EOW channels extension

EOW channels extension allows to extend the EOW telephone channel through the 4-wires RJ-41 connector on Sergi/Service board. Three configurations are supported: 1. EOW extension on a single NE; 2. EOW pass-though between 2 NEs on different SDH transmission network; 3. EOW party-line among multiple NEs. EOW extension on a single NE is accomplished by adopting MSN8 (see WTD Commercial Product Catalog) and getting signal from 4 wire extension on the OMSN (RJ-41 connector). EOW pass-though, between 2 NEs on different SDH transmission network, uses 4 wire extension on the two NEs to let the communication channel pass. EOW party-line among multiple NEs uses MSN8 (see WTD Commercial Product Catalog) to connect all the 4 wire extension on all the equipment. Party line function on the MSN8 allows to make the cross connection for the voice channels. 2.1.11. On-line BUS diagnostic To improve the hardware failure diagnostic and Localization a mechanism named "NGI Monitor" (NGI, New Generation Interface, is the internal signal interface (backplane) for OMSN family). NGI Monitor allows a more detailed monitoring with respect to the current generic "Card Fail" alarm. This mechanism provides information about problems affecting internal links. Figure 1 On-line bus diagnostic shows a functional sketch of what is achievable in terms of alarms, by mean of NGI monitor. At CT Level (surveillance alarms) the number of slot where the failure occurred is reported.

Improvements, self test and fault isolation of ISPB bus has also been introduced by R.5.2B10 onward.
2.1.12. ASAP configuration on port and NE basis The feature has the target to allow the SH/CT user to quickly configure Alarm Severity Alarm Profiles (ASAP) of all the Termination Points (TPs) of a port or a Network Element. For instance a 2Mb/s port has 4 TPs, each of them with an own ASAP: this feature allows the user to change the default ASAP of all the TPs of the board with a single command. The feature allows as well the user to configure all the ASAPs of the TPs of a selected class of ports (2Mb/s, 34Mb/s, , STM-1, STM-4, ) of a Network Element. 2.1.13. Enhanced FAN Unit Management This feature provides alarm monitoring to support the fan unit maintenance operations. The fan configuration is always redundant in order to be able keeping the adequate air flow with a single failure condition. This feature is fully exploited only when using new 19 fan unit together with enhanced CONGI3W. 2.1.14. CONGI Power ALARM management The alarms management regarding the power supply from external battery and on board fuse failure has been improved on CONGI board. The Figure 2 reports the monitoring points present on the CONGI.

EQUIPMENT PROTECTION
1660SM is able to manage the following cards EPS protection: MATRIX card protection: As the synchronization, the matrix and the shelf controller functionalities are on the MATRIX board, the equipment protection of the MATRIX board provides the duplication of all these functions. The CRU, matrix, SC functions and the Gate array present on the MATRIX board are considered in terms of EPS as a single block. Then when a failure occurs for one or more of these, a switch is performed from the main to the spare card. Low Speed Port Protection: Protection scheme N+1 with fixed position of protecting Low Speed card. High Speed Port Protection: Protection scheme N+1 for the electrical High Speed ports. ATM Matrix card protection: See related ATM release note for details. Switching time: < 50msec
Performance on matrix protection is given 15min after power-up.

MANAGEMENT
The 1660SM can be managed through different communication interfaces by following described:
The system can be managed through the F interface, by a CMISE Craft Terminal running on a Personal Computer (Local Craft Terminal). A given Network Element can be configured as a Mediation Network Element in order to manage a network made up of a maximum of 32 SDH elements including the one acting as a MNE (Remote Craft Terminal). By means of the information shared through the embedded DCC channels, its possible to perform alarm synthesis and clock/data distribution of the configured managed network. The different products of the Alcatel-Lucent Network Management System can be used to supervision the one or more NEs through the QB3 interface via a dedicated LAN port (ISOOSI protocol stack on QB3/QECC). The QECC interface (D4D12 or D1D3 (Sw selectable)) via STMN input ports allows further connection facility to the NMS (QECC on RS/MS SOH bytes). The system can work as a Mediation Device in order to manage from CT o OS other ALCATEL-LUCENT non SDH Equipment (video, radio, access...) through the Q2/RQ2 interface (Q2RQ2/LTS Mediation Function). A modification into the OSI stack has been introduced to extend the number of octets of the L2 frames received over DCC: from 512 (default value defined into standard G.784) to 1520. This modification allows the interworking with those equipment sending L2 frames over DCC exceeding 512bytes.

2.3.25. AUTO MON status on SDH and PDH ports
In order to prevent alarms from being raised and failures being reported during trail provisioning actions, trail termination functions have the ability to enable and disable fault cause declaration. This is controlled via their termination point mode or port mode parameter. The termination point mode (Figure 4) shall be either "monitored" (MON) or "not monitored" (NMON). The state shall be MON if the termination function is part of a trail and provides service and NMON if the termination function is not part of a trail or is part of a trail which is in the process of set-up, breakdown or re-arrangement.
Figure 4 Termination point monitoring state
In physical section layers, the termination point mode is called the port mode. It has three modes (see ): MON, AUTO, and NMON. The AUTO mode is like the NMON mode with one exception: if the LOS defect clears, the port mode is automatically changed to MON. This allows for alarmfree installation without the burden of using a management system to change the monitor mode. The AUTO mode is optional. When it is supported, it shall be the default mode; otherwise, NMON shall be the default mode.
ED

AS described above, the AUTO-MON implementation on OMSNs is compliant to ITU-T G.806 rec. In addition the following feature-enhancement have been introduced: Provisioning at the Network Element level for the expected behavior in order to avoid impact on other customer networks; A parameter at the physical port level allows management of the current state of the port (AUTO / MANUAL); No impact on current ASAP mechanism.

2.4.11. ISA Ethernet main board
10/100 Mb/s Ethernet units allow creating inside of OMSNs a LAN to LAN connection as a point to point between two routers or switches through an SDH network. The board acts as a gateway towards the SDH network. Ethernet frames are mapped over a SDH VC using Generic Framing Procedure (GFP) encapsulation. The Ethernet traffic, opportunely mapped in the SDH transport structures, is then sent toward the SDH matrix from the backPlane, which has 4 STM1 equivalent bandwidth throughput. Ethernet frames are mapped over an SDH VC among the following:

VC12 VC3 VC4
One Ethernet interface is mapped in one SDH VC: no grooming of Ethernet frames in the SDH network is provided within this release. Protection occurs at SDH level. Service requirements for the unit:
Point-to-Point interconnection;
No MAC Address Filtering: all what is received is transported. Local traffic is rerouted by an external switch;
Max Density of Ethernet 10/100 interfaces; Protocol Transparency: Ethernet frames are transported on the other side as they are;
Bandwidth Compression: the allocated bandwidth on the SDH network is less than max bandwidth of the Ethernet interface (10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s). 2.4.12. ISA Ethernet access board
The Ethernet access card is placed in the access area and is able to provide 14 x 10 /100 Mb/s Ethernet interfaces to allow LAN to LAN connections. On this access card only the physical interface function is implemented, so it must be used in conjunction with the relevant ETHERNET port where the signal is processed in order to be transported in the SDH virtual containers.
2.4.13. ISA-Gb Ethernet rate adaptive access module
It this SW release it is possible to use 2 out of 4 GbE interfaces in the ISA-Gb Ethernet rate adaptive access module in conjunction with the ISA Ethernet 10/100 port. Each GbE i/f is mapped into 1xVC4 using the GFP encapsulation. The ISA Ethernet 10/100 port controls the GbEthernet access module.

2.4.27. 4 X ANY UNIT
The 4xANY board allows multiplexing in the time domain up to 4 client signals into one single 2.5Gb/s optical channel (server signal). A mixing of SDH and Data Services is possible. Multiplexing scheme delivers a fully compliant SDH frame. The signal can hence be directly connected to a SDH ADM/DXC without requiring prior de-concentration. Up to 4 client signals can be independently handled among the following types: Fast Ethernet, FDDI (125Mbps), ESCON (200Mbps), Digital Video (270Mbps), Fiber Channel (1.0625Gbps), FICON (1.0625Gbps), Gigabit Ethernet (1.25Gbps). Server STM-16 signal is connected to SDH matrix through 1660SM back panel. The board (8TE wide) is applicable to 1660SM only. It can be plugged in "Enhanced HS slots" (slots: 25&26, 28&29, 34&35, 37&38) to fully exploit up to 2.5Gb/s (16 x AU4s) throughput; if plugged in standard "HS slots" (slots: 30&31, 32&33), up to 1.2Gb/s (4 x AU4s) bandwidth is available. Insertion of the board across hybrid slots ("enhanced HS slots" + "HS slots") is not managed. As far as client signals allocation is concerned three cases has to be distinguished:

The feature is applicable to the architecture which uses STMN interfaces for interconnecting the two rings (4 nodes Architecture), as well to collapsed ring in dual node interconnection, which means that rings are interconnected inside the matrix.
2.5.12. Collapsed singlenode ring interconnection
Protected connection modes specifically dedicated to upgrade the basic SNCP protection in order to support the SingleNode interconnection between two rings using VCi connections (through internal matrix). The difference with respect to the traditional approach is that, two protected connections in SNCP are now interconnected inside the Matrix and no Tributary interconnecting the two rings are needed: consequently the two protected connections are integrated on a single collapsed node. Collapsed single node interconnection is now performed with one node instead of two.
2.5.13. Collapsed dualnode ring interconnection
Protected connection modes specifically dedicated to upgrade the basic SNCP protection in order to support the DualNode interconnection between two rings using VCi connections (through internal matrix).

2.6.1. AU44c among STMN interfaces (n>=4)

It provides the ability to transport a single STMN payload on a set of N (N>=4) contiguous AU-4s according to the ITUT G.707 recs.
2.6.2. AU4-16c among STM-N interfaces (n>=16)
Feature available only with Slim STM-16 port and STM-64 port
2.6.3. Packet Concatenation on LO VCi (i=12,3) for E/FE traffic on ISA Ethernet main board and ISA Packet Ring Edge Aggregator
This feature allows to map data traffic entering OMSNs through an Ethernet/FastEthernet port of ISA-Ethernet board and ISA Packet Ring Edge Aggregator into a GFP pipe, made of ixVC12 or jxVC3, with i and j in the following range:

i = 1..8 (max. 8xVC12); j = 1..2 (max. 2xVC3).
No mixed configurations are allowed (it is not possible to transport the signal over a nonhomogeneous group of VC12 and VC3). The functionality model (in terms of Q3 interface) is the same as LO virtual concatenation. Each VC12 or VC3 of a packet concatenated GFP pipe can be independently transported over the SDH network in a standard way, following its own path. Packet concatenation allows the following capabilities in terms of bandwidth management: bandwidth increase/decrease (add/remove a VCx to GFP pipe), failure recovery after a single VCx fault, monitoring of the VCx path to be added without traffic interruption. Migration aspects In order to increase the bandwidth of an Ethernet path created in a release not supporting packet concatenation functionality (i.e.: rel. 3.1, 4.0), it is necessary to perform the following steps: remove the path; create the new packet concatenated path (with the right GFP mapping); Bandwidth increase is not hitless. Starting from SW release which supports packet concatenation functionality, all the new LO paths (including the one mapped i a single VCx) are created in a compatible way with respect to packet concatenation. Bandwidth increase can be performed in hitless way without removing the old path. References between OMSN releases and ISA Packet Ring Edge Aggregator releases and information about release note of the ISA cards can be retrieved from the document: ISA/OMSN SW compatibility tables: 3AL 78911 0378

2.6.4. Idle Active management on virtually concatenated VC-4 of ISA GbE main board
This feature is meant to provide a mechanism to allow variable bandwidth management of GbE traffic transport. It allows to add/remove one VC4v from a bundle of virtually concatenated VC4, carrying GbEthernet traffic between two ISA-GbE (rate adaptive) boards. Management of "idle" status of VC4 on NE allows NM system to implement a new VC4 trail through the network without adding it to the NxVC4v bundle supporting GbE traffic. Collection of alarms relevant new "idle" VC4 allows the operator to check that no faults are affecting the trail, before to add it to the NxVC4 bundle, by mean of an "activation" command. Once the operator has triggered the "activation" command, the new "active" VC4 will be virtually concatenated together with the other NxVC4 to support GbE traffic.
2.7.
TIMING
The Synchronization Subsystem (SETS SDH Equipment Timing Source according to ITUT G.783) provides the timing reference required by all the components in the network element and represents the SDH Equipment Clock (SEC). The Synchronization Subsystem generates the internal synchronizing clock locking one of three configurable (by software via CT and/or OS commands) references:

STMN lines (STMN synch references). 2Mbit/s traffic ports (2Mbs synch references)
2MHz/2Mbit/s external input (2MHz/2Mbs synch references). 2Mbit/s synch w SSM is managed in this release.
Internal Oscillator
Up to 6 independent references can be defined among STMN and 2Mbit/s traffic ports in the system (Programmable multiple synch sources (max 6)). Automatic selection of one of the above references is available through an internal selector, which uses Quality (Synchronization Status Message algorithm) or priority criteria (SSM standard interworking). The SSM algorithm can be disabled via ECT or OS. An external 2MHz or 2Mb/s output is generated as a possible source for external devices. Additionally the SSM protocol is supported according to the standard rules based on the information field in time-slot 16 of the 2Mbs frame format. SEC (SDH Equipment Clock) is used as internal timing source and to time the outgoing STMN signals. When all the selected references are missing or the reference quality of incoming signals is under a software selectable threshold the SETS (Synchronization Equipment Timing Source) goes into holdover mode or into freerunning mode if a reference stable for more than 30 minutes was not stored. It is possible to force the freerunning mode. A dedicated alarm is provided when the node enters in holdover or freerunning mode due to either quality criteria or signal validity (Hold/Freerunning alarm).
ED
10
The holdover mode guarantees less than .37ppm of frequency drift per day (.37 ppm/day holdover accuracy).
SEC characteristics according to G.813 (opt. 1) (Freerunning stability: 4.6ppm). The managed SDH synchronization quality levels are:

2.7.1.1.
ADM with SSU using 2MHz reference signal.
The synchronization chain from STM-N (T1) signal to SEC (passing through SSU) consists of the following steps:

The Output External Reference (T4) is locked to a timing reference (T1) according to the SSM (Synchronization Status Message) algorithm; SSU is locked to 2MHz signal (T4) coming form SEC (or it is in free-running if the received 2MHz is squelched); SEC (Synchronous Equipment Clock) is locked to the filtered T3 (2MHz) coming from SSU;
The quality of the SEC output timing reference (T0) is set to:

When SEC is locked to T3 coming form SSU, the quality of the timing reference selected to generate T4 (Q1 in the figure); The quality of the SSU's Internal Oscillator when T4 is squelched (T4 is squelched if the quality of the selected T1/T2 (in Selector A) is lower than SSU's internal Oscillator); The quality of the SEC internal oscillator if no timing references are available to generate T0; The quality of the timing reference selected at the input T1 or T2, when T3 coming from SSU fails.
DNU (Do Not Use) is transmitted back to the interface selected as timing source for T4.
2.7.1.2. ADM with SSU using 2Mbit/s reference signal with SSM supported.
Automatic DNU Generation. When ADM with SSU using 2Mbit/s clock signal with SSM supported is configured, the DNU generation, for avoiding timing loop, is performed according to ITU-T G.781 fig.12-13-14. As long as the ADM transmits to SSU a T5 clock signal with a certain SSM value and receives from SSU a T6 clock signal with the same SSM value, the ADM assumes that the SSU selects the T5 clock signal provided by the ADM itself as reference clock. This will result in DNU insertion in the traffic output port associated with the traffic input port used as source for the ADM clock. All other ADM outgoing signals will have the same SSM extracted by T6 clock signal coming from SSU (Figure 11).

If the T5 clock signal is set to AIS, the automatic DNU insertion in the traffic output port associated with the traffic input port used as source for the ADM clock is removed. All ADM outgoing signals will have, as SSM value, the value forced by operator for signal coming from SSU (Figure 14).
2.7.2. RETIMING ON THE 2Mb/s Interfaces (*)
Basically the retiming function applies to the outgoing signal of the 2Mb/s traffic interfaces the SEC timing: i.e. in the normal condition the synch reference of the SDH network.
(*) FEATURE AVAILABLE only on 63x2 Mbit/s G.703/ISDNPRA PORT HW.

SUPPORT MANAGEMENT
The Support domain is divided into four parts:

Event reporting management; Event logging management; Alarm management; Alarm synthesis & summarization;
The Alarm management receives alarm notifications from other domains (transmission, connection, equipment, software synchronization and communication).
2.8.1. Event reporting management
The Event Reporting function is used by the System to notify events to OS. ED 10 CONFIDENTIAL 3AL 365080000 SAD 50/56
2.8.2. Event logging management

The Event Logging function is used by the System to log events in OS and to control that logging by OS.
2.8.3. Alarm management
The Alarm function is used by the System to manage alarm reporting, alarm logging, alarm severity assignment, alarm status monitoring in OS.
2.8.4. Alarm summary, alarm synthesis and abnormal condition synthesis
The Alarm synthesis & summarization function is used by the System to summarize the current alarms of Network Element and provide audible and visual local alarm indications in OS. Abnormal condition synthesis management functions are used by a managed system to synthesize unusual conditions on the NE (like a loopback or not configured slots). An Abnormal Condition status is present when:

Equipment Expected = NULL Equipment Actual <> NULL
2.9.
SECURITY MANAGEMENT
This facility is used by the OS to configure the access rights on the local terminal; the NE checks the OS address and verify if it is in the allowed OS list. Only in this case the OS connection is allowed, otherwise it is refused.

2.15. RELEASE 5.2B11: PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED & WARNINGS

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] Before to delete the synchronization source, release all active commands In order to have the fully capability of the system, after a power up or pullin of the EQUICO and EPS Matrix, its necessary to wait 10 minutes Removal of EPS/MSP protection has to be done with Main Board actives MS-SPRING: matrix EPS has to be executed in synchronization locked mode for hitless switch. FAN Shelf Alarm Cable has to be connected to CONGI-A board. Path trace identifier (TIM) on TCT in repeat-byte mode is not managed even if it is reported on CT. G-ETH: only the two upper optical drawer of Access board are available when used in conjunction with ISA Ethernet card. On VC12 terminated paths TCT alarms and PM are available after enabling the consequent action. SW activation can be performed from Rel. 4.4B6 and 5.2A. Virtual concatenated groups can inter-work only if LCAS protocol is either enable or disable on both end sides In order to change configuration from VC12-xv to VC3-xv and on ISA ES1 the following procedure must be followed: a. b. c. d. e. f. [12] [13] Delete cross connection of VCX-xv; Set idle status to all VC of the VCX-xv and disable LCAS; Delete VCX-xv port configuration; Create new VCX-xv port configuration; Enable LCAS configuration and set active status to the VCX-xv; Create new cross-connection of VCX-xv
The first installation of ES1, ES4 and ES16 extended package is managed only after activation of release 5.2B. Traffic impact of 1sec is expected on ISA GbE board during migration to release 5.2.

ISA Ethernet main board: in order to be able to configure the board it is necessary to wait until it is active: the status can be verified either on the led on the front panel or via the watch icon on craft terminal. The time necessary to complete the activation is depending on the number of ISA Eth boards equipped in the shelf. For example: 1xISA Ethernet board: 25 minutes; 2 ISA Ethernet boards: the first board becomes active after 40 minutes and the second after 50; 3 ISA Ethernet boards: the first board becomes active after 55 minutes, the second after 65 and the third after 75. ISA GbE main board: in order to be able to configure the board it is necessary to wait until it is active: the status can be verified either on the led on the front panel or via the watch icon on craft terminal. The time necessary to complete the activation is depending on the number of ISA GbE boards equipped in the shelf. For example: 1xISA GbE board: 40 minutes; 2 ISA GbE boards: the first board becomes active after 60 minutes and the second after 80; 3 ISA GbE boards: the first board becomes active after 80 minutes, the second after 100 and the third after 120. In 2F MS-SPRING before powering on a NE is mandatory to perform a double forced switch ring on the adjacent nodes, facing the switched off NE. These commands can be released only when the NE start-up procedure is successfully completed. EPS N+1 protection on P16S1_E4 board time switching is about 180 ms When the spare board of EPS N+1 group of P16S1_E4 is active due to a equipment failure and the second failure of another P16S1_E4 board in the same protection group and inserted into a slot between main port and spare port occurs, before replacing the second failed board is recommended to repair the first otherwise hit of about 8 ms on protected traffic happen when the board is plugged out and again 24 ms when is plugged in. Change configuration of board P16S1_E4 from Electrical to Optical Access port is also necessary to de-configure and re-configure the port P16S1_E4. 2F MS-SPRING: plug in of STM64 board causes a double traffic hit when the WTR is set to a value <180 sec. Migration from release 5.2Ax/5.2Bx (x <3) to 5.2.B7 errors appear on electrical path on board P16S1_E4 Byte F1 of related RS section cannot be used when F3 Overhead of VC4 terminated on matrix is configured and byte 3,2 of RS Overhead cannot be used when MS passthrough is configured. Board S4.1, L4.1, P4S1, S16.1, S16.2, L16.1, L16.2 (former Cristallo version <3) is not managed. If an internal loopback and continue is created on STM-16 port (8-TE wide) and at the same time a LOS is present on this interface, sometimes errors or AIS is reported on some E1 or E3 cross-connected to this STM-16 interface. SW migration from release 4.2Bx to 5.2B11 causes connections lost in CO-16 board

ISA-ES4: Configuration of SFP Module starting from abnormal condition of ISA-ES4 could cause RUTM alarm. Before to plug in the module perform the configuration. Modification of STM-16 to CO-16: if a different type of SFP module or a Missing alarm is present a RUTM/RUM could be reported When COWLA2 is plugged out/in in case of CRUA missing RUP alarm is reported. In Case of LCAS inter-working with 1678 in order to minimize the traffic hit the proper Hold-Off timer must be configured in 1678 equipment (Follow guidelines indicated in 1678) LCAS inter-working with 1678: in case of failure of one VC in the VCG, all the VCs are re-numbered.
