1.1. Notes: 21 x 2 Mbit/s G.703/ISDN-PRA 1660 SM

The 63 x 2 Mbit/s /G.703/ISDN-PRA port is similar to the basic 63 x 2 Mbit/s port, described in the
previous pages, with the difference that the present board implements also the NT functionality on ISDN
Primary Rate Access (PRA) and the "Retiming function" on the 2 Mbit/s interfaces.

Retiming
 The Retiming function applies the Equipment Clock to the outgoing 2Mb/s signal that therefore
becomes synchronized with the SDH network synchronization reference .
 This feature is programmable via SW, in order to include or exclude the Retiming for each single port.
The same P63E1N unit can mix ports that apply or not the retiming.

The ISDN-PRA (Integrated Services Digital Network - Primary Rate Access) is a facility to carry a
number of synchronous digital communication channels to the user over a 2048 kbit/s structured signal; the
ISDN- PRA structure is defined in recommendation ETS 300 233. The sample frames are reported in the next
pages.

The 2048 kbit/s signals can be structured or non-structured: in this latter case, the PRA functionality
must be disabled from Craft-Terminal. The selection between structured/non-structured and basic-
frame/multiframe options is achieved by means of Craft-Terminal, for individual signals.

It performs standard PRA functionality as well as some custom Leased Line functions (settable from C.T.).

the three ports.

1.3. P4S1 Port Card: 4xSTM1 E/O 1660 SM

Notes

P4S1 Port card processes up to four STM-1 streams. A max. of two electrical or optical
modules can be housed on the card to give physical access to the STM-1 signal. The remaining
two physical accesses are on the relevant Access Card .

The main parts of the cards are:

Mother board, supporting the overall structure;
Cristallo ASIC
STM1 Modules
Timing, Control and Power Supply circuits
Details of internal structure of each block are shown in the next slide.

SDH functions needed to process STM-1 signals are implemented by the Cristallo ASIC
mounted on the mother board. It interfaces the two MATRIX card via backpanel.

Main connection toward the MATRIX is performed by three links at 622Mb/s:

 Link L toward LPC Matrix
 Link H and Link X toward HPC Matrix.

1.3. Notes: P4E4N Port Card 1660 SM

The 4x140/STM1 switchable O/E port card is a bi- directional unit which interfaces up to four
plesiochronous 140 Mbit/s (E4) or Synchronous 155 Mbit/s (STM-1) with STM4-BPF
(BPF=backpanel format ).

The choice between the two possible different interfaces is flexible and mixed configuration
are allowed.

For each P4E4N port card there are four electrical (75 Ohm) or optical module(Short and Long
Haul) ; two of the four module are hosted directly on the port card , the other two are hosted
in the relevant access card (A2S1).

1.4. P4ES1 Port Card: 4xSTM1 Interfaces 1660 SM

Notes

P4ES1 Port Card supports 4xSTM1 streams and has the same structure as already described
for P4S1 Port Card in the previous slide 1.3.

The only difference compared with P4S1 is in the access interfaces, that are all 4 in a dedicated
Access Card (A4ES1).

This card, together with the relevant A4ES1 Access Card, allows to implement Electrical
STM1 ports with EPS, while P4S1 allows to implement only APS protection.

Future releases will extend the use of this board to 140 E4 interfaces, with Sw switchable pre-
setting.

Notes

Main parts of STM4 Port Card are: Motherboard, Cristallo ASIC, STM4 Optical Module
(SPI) and Circuits for: Control, Timing and Power Supply.

Functions performed by the CRISTALLO ASIC at Rx and Tx side are:

 TTF ( SPI, RST, MST, MSA)
 HOA (HPT, HPA): this block includes F2-F3 byte extraction/insertion for a DCC_P
channel frame .

Connection with MATRIX is performed by 3 links at 622Mb/s: X, L and H Links. T1 clock

at 2 MHz is extracted and sent to the Matrix card.

Different units are available with different connectors (FC/PC or SC/PC) and
different wave length (S-4.1, L-4.1, L-4.2 and L-4.2JE). JE type STM4 is available
in two options, with different max chromatic dispersion.

Notes

Port identifier
 STM16 Port Card is identified by the name S / L-16.x where x=1 or 2.
 Different part number corresponds to different connector type, FC/PC or SC/PC or
SC/SPC.
 The units identified by JE (Joint engineering, 3 types available) have improved optical
characteristics, mainly for the dispersion values.
 The STM-16 with 192.3 to 195.7 label (also defined coloured), are used when
interfaced with WDM equipment. That number indicates the central frequency (in THz)
of the carrier optical signal, related to the wavelength : sixteen units are independently
associated with different wavelength.
 The WDM equipment can receive up to sixteen different wavelength signals from sixteen
different STM-16 optical ports.

1.12. A3E3 Access Card: 3x34Mb/s Interfaces 1660 SM

Notes

3 X 34 Mbit/s access card provides connections from back-panel to the external signals for
three PDH 75 ohmG.703 signals.

INPUT side
 From the HDB3 signal, clock is recovered and data are retimed and sent to an HDB3
decoder. LOS alarm is generated if no signal is detected. In normal condition the
backplane provides to send the signal to the main card. .
 The access card manages the EPS protection of the 3x34/45 port card; two mux by means
of dedicated command (SEL) coming from the RIBUS I/F block, sends to spare card
Signal and LOS of actual or previous access card.

OUTPUT side
 NRZ data and clock from the main and spare port card are received. In normal condition,
signal coming from the main port card is HDB3 encoded and sent to the line. When EPS is
active, the RIBUS I/F block send a command (SEL) to the mux; in this case the signal
coming from the spare card is selected and sent toward the encoder.

Notes

Loopback functions
 The access card provides line loopback (RLOP) and local loopback (LLOP).When RLOP
is active the input signal coming from the line is sent back to the output signal.When
LLOP is active, the signal coming from the encoder is sent to the decoder

Control section
 The commands to drive the MUXs involved in EPS protection (SEL) and the loopback
functions (CLOP) are generated by the RIBUS I/F block that performs also remote
inventory and card status operations (FAIL).

Notes

coaxial cable for the High Speed port cards 4x STM1 or 4x140 Mb/s.

A4ES1 gives access to 4 STM1/El coming from P4ES1 Port Card.

INPUT side
 CMI coming from the coaxial cable, is equalised, decoded into NRZ code and forwarded to main
electrical port card.
 SWITCH criteria coming from the RIBUS I/F block can select the MUX in order to send toward the
Spare card the local stream.
 LOS alarm, if present, is sent to the main board. The same alarm can also be sent ,through a MUX,
toward the spare card if the SWITCH command is active.

OUTPUT side
 At output side, the signal coming from the Main card, is coded into CMI code and then sent toward the
coaxial cable.
 When EPS is active, the RIBUS I/F block send a command (SWITCH) to the MUX; in this case the
signal coming from the Spare card is selected and sent toward the encoder NRZ/CMI.
