Interfaces
The XCT board does not provide external interfaces.
1.6 Valid Slots

One slot houses one XCT board. The valid slots for the XCT are IU9, IU43 in the subrack on
OptiX OSN 8800 II.
1.7 Board Protection

The TNK2XCT and TNK2SXM boards support cross-connection 1+1 protection.
The TNK2XCT and TNK2SXM boards support cross-connection 1+1 protection. For details,
see Equipment-Level Protection in the Product Description.
The centralized cross-connect board adopts 1+1 hot backup.
Service boards receive signals and process overheads. Then, the boards transmit the signals to
both the active and standby cross-connect boards. The active and the standby cross-connect
boards send the data to service boards through the preset cross-connections. The service boards
select the data from the cross-connect boards. The configuration of the active cross-connect
board is the same as that of the standby cross-connect board. The two boards are independent
of each other. They support a forced switching between them with the services not affected.
The active and standby cross-connect boards have the same the setting of the cross-connection
matrix. When the standby cross-connect board receives information indicating that the active
cross-connect board is abnormal or a switching command issued on the T2000, it takes over the
work from the active cross-connect board, enables itself as the active board, and then reports a
switching event.
Two modes for performing a 1+1 protection switching between the active and standby crossconnect boards are available.
l
Automatic switching:
When the service board detects that the cross-connect board or the bus is abnormal,
automatic switching is enabled. This type of switching requires no manual operation.
Manual switching:
When a switching is required in a test during the normal running of the active and the
standby cross-connect boards, the switching can be performed manually.
NOTE
When a switching occurs between the active and standby cross-connect boards, a switching also occurs
between the active and standby clock boards.
1.8 Precautions for Board Usage

Precautions for Hardware Usage
None.

Precautions for Software Usage

NOTE
When only a group of cross-connect boards (TNK2XCT and TNK2SXM) is configured on an NE, all the
centralized cross-connections on the NE must be deleted before the group of cross-connect boards is
removed.
If cross-connect boards are configured(XCT), the subrack must be configured with STG board; otherwise,
the state of the cross-connect board is offline.
The cross-connect boards generate a lot of heat, and so the fans should be set to auto-adjustment; otherwise,
the board may be reset abnormally.
Restrictions on the Board

NOTE
Both the TNK2XCT and TNK2SXM boards generate a lot of heat. Thus, it is recommended that the fans
work in automatic speed adjustment mode. Otherwise, the TNK2XCT or TNK2SXM board is reset
abnormally.
1.9 Board Commissioning

After you select the correct board, you need to commission it. Commissioning a board includes
the following items: checking the board hardware, commissioning the board, and performing a
verification test.
Hardware Inspection
Step 1 Check the hardware of the board.
1.
The identifications on the front panel of the board must be clear.
2.
The pinch board of the board must be secured.
3.
The surface of each component on both sides of the board are free of scratches.
Step 2 Install boards. For the method of installing a board, see Replacing a Board. The board must be
installed along the guide rail and inserted to the bottom of the slot on the subrack. In addition,
the ejector levers of the board must be latched.
Step 3 Observe the status of the indicators on the front panel of the board. If all the indicators are green,
it indicates that the board functions normally. For details about the indicator statuses, see Board
Indicators.
Step 4 Check the board version, NE version, and T2000 version against the Version Mapping Table to
ensure that proper versions are used.

Cause 1: The ID of the NE duplicates that of another NE.

1.
Log in to the NE on the WEB LCT and restore the initial ID of the NE according to
the record. For details of this action, see "Setting NE ID and IP" in the Commissioning
Guide.
Cause 2: The fiber jumper of OSC board is faulty.

1.
Check the connection firmness of the fiber jumper connected to the OSC board on the
first faulty NE along the signal flow. If the fiber jumper is loose, secure it; if it is dirty,
clean it; if it is faulty, replace it (see "Replacing Fiber Jumpers" in the Supporting
Tasks). For details on how to clean fiber jumpers, see "Inspecting and Cleaning the
Fiber-Optic Connectors" in the Supporting Tasks.
2.
Check the connection correctness of the fiber jumper connected to the OSC board on
the faulty NE is correct.
NOTE
During deployment commissioning, the fiber jumper might be incorrectly connected because
the FIU board and the OSC board have many interfaces marked with similar names. To prevent
incorrect connection when you perform commissioning in one direction of the OSC board, you
can connect an optical attenuator between the currently unused RM and TM optical interfaces
in the other direction of the OSC board to form a self-loop.
Cause 3: The SCC board is faulty.

1.
Reset the SCC board on the first faulty NE along the signal flow, and then check
whether you can log in to the NE.
2.
If you cannot log in to the NE, remove the SCC board on the faulty NE to make the
ECC signals pass through the backplane. Check whether the downstream NE is
restored. If it is restored, determine that the SCC board is faulty and replace the SCC
board.
Cause 4: The OSC board is faulty.

1.
Replace the OSC board on the first faulty NE along the signal flow, and check whether
the network is restored. If it is restored, determine that the OSC board is faulty, replace
the board.

1.
Replace the OTU board on the first faulty NE along the signal flow, and check whether
the network is restored. If it is restored, determine that the OTU board is faulty, replace
the board.

down and stops emitting optical signals. This can prolong the
life span of the laser and avoid injuries to relevant personnel.
l
Disabled
B-2
Enable the automatic laser shutdown function for the

transmit optical interface on the client side: When there is
no optical signal input to the receive optical interface on
any WDM side of an OTU, the transmit optical interface
on the client side shuts down the laser automatically. When
there is no optical signal input to the receive optical
interface on a client side of the OTU at the peer end, the
transmit optical interface on the corresponding client side
of the OTU at the local end shuts down the laser
automatically.
After the received signal is lost, the laser is not shut down
automatically. The parameter is usually set to Disabled during

B Board Parameters

Description
Bit Transparent Mapping

(11.1 G)
Supports transparent bit (11.1 G) transport for 10GE LAN

signals. In this port mapping mode, transmission of signals are
achieved by increasing the OTU frame frequency. This
ensures the encoding gain and correction capability of FEC.
In this mode, the bit rate is 11.1 Gbit/s, which is higher than
the standard bit rate of OTU2 signals.
MAC Transparent Mapping

(10.7 G)
In this port mapping mode, 10GE LAN signals are

encapsulated in the GFP-F format and then are mapped into
standard OTU frames. This mode supports transparent
transmission of only client 10GE MAC frames. In this mode,
the signals are encapsulated in standard OTU2 frames and the
bit rate of the signals is 10.71 Gbit/s. In addition, the FEC/
AFEC code pattern is applicable to 10GE LAN services in this
mode. Originally, the FEC/AFEC code pattern is intended for
10G SDH services.
Bit Transparent Mapping

(10.7 G)
Supports transparent bit (10.7 G) transport for 10GE LAN

signals. In this mapping mode, certain AFEC fields are used
for transmission of signals. In this mode, the bit rate of signals
is 10.71 Gbit/s. Thus, for the signals that adopt AFEC, the
encoding gain of AFEC is low and the correction capability
of AFEC is comparatively poor.
For OptiX OSN 8800/6800/3800
B-4
Services other than 10GE LAN do not require configuring the port mapping mode.
The port mapping mode of 10GE LAN services can be configured as "Bit Transparent
Mapping (11.1 G)", "MAC Transparent Mapping (10.7 G)" or "Bit Transparent Mapping
(10.7 G)". Users can select a proper mapping mode according to the service transmission
requirements.
"Bit Transparent Mapping (11.1 G)" and "Bit Transparent Mapping (10.7 G)" meet
customer requirement for transparent bit transport of 10GE LAN signals. If a 10GE LAN
signal is directly mapped into an OTU frame by means of bit transparent mapping, the
10GE LAN signal will overflow the OTU frame. Thus, to solve this problem, certain AFEC
fields are occupied by the 10GE LAN signal. This is why the AFEC encoding gain is low
and AFEC correction capability is comparatively poor for the signals in the AFEC field.
In the "Bit Transparent Mapping (11.1 G)" mode, transmission of signals are achieved by
increasing the OTU frame frequency. This ensures the encoding gain and correction
capability of FEC. In this mode, however, the bit rate is higher than the standard bit rate of
OTU2 signals.
"MAC Transparent Mapping (10.7G)" is specific to transparent transmission of 10GE MAC

frames as required by customers. In this port mapping mode, a 10GE LAN signal is
encapsulated in the GFP-F format and then mapped into a standard OTU frame. This mode
supports transparent transmission of only client 10GE MAC frames. In this mode, the
signals are in standard OTU2 frames. In addition, the FEC/AFEC code pattern is applicable

ROW 1 RS(255,239)FEC redundancy
The FEC scheme can improve the BER performance. If the signals with the BER 1.0E-4 are
input, the BER performance can be improved to 5.0E-15 after error correction by the FEC
technology.
l
AFEC scheme
The second FEC scheme is the frame structure of the OTUkV stated in the ITU-T G.709 standard.
The frame structure is shown in Figure B-2. The overhead structure of the OTUkV frame is the
same as that of the OTUk frame. The only difference is that the FEC in the OTUkV frame uses
the alternative FEC, namely, interleaving FEC coding. The FEC coding can be defined by the
vendor. It is encouraged that the vendor researches and develops the FEC coding that has better
coding gain capabilities than those of the RS (255, 239). Some boards of the OptiX WDM
products of Huawei use the self-defined FEC coding, which is called advanced FEC (AFEC).

Different boards support different optical interface channels. After the command of enabling the
PRBS test is issued, an error is returned in case the optical interface channels do not support the
PRBS test.
Related Information
The PRBS signal generator works with the PRBS signal monitor to implement the PRBS. The
PRBS signal generator of the OTU board supporting this function transmits the PRBS code to
the opposite station. The PRBS signal monitor monitors the PRBS code looped back from the
local or opposite station, compares the transmit signal with the loopback signal, and then
determines whether the equipment or transmission line is normal.
It can replace meters to test the networking connectivity in a network.

B.12 SD Trigger Condition (WDM Interface)

Description
The SD Trigger Condition parameter is used to set the relevant alarms of certain optical
interfaces or channels of an OTU board as SD switching trigger conditions of the protection
group in which this OTU board resides.

After this parameter is set, set SD Trigger Condition of the protection group in which the OTU
resides to Enabled. When the OTU receives alarms such as B1_SD, the system regards the
received alarms of the OTU as the switching trigger condition of the protection group. As a
result, switching occurs in the protection group.

When SD switching is used against a small number of bit errors, the switching is rapidly
performed. Select the proper alarms as the switching trigger conditions depending on the service
status. The alarms, which can be selected as switching trigger conditions, at certain optical
interfaces and channels of a board vary with the board type. If one optical interface supports
various services, all the three alarms can be set as the SD switching conditions. When the service
type is changed, the board automatically counts the corresponding bit errors and reports an SD
alarm according to the actual service type.

B.14 LPT Enabling (WDM Interface)

Description
The LPT Enabling parameter provides an option to set whether to enable the link passthrough
(LPT).

Enabling the LPT does not affect system running but makes it impossible to configure service
protection.
Values
Value Range
Default Value
Enabled, Disabled
Disabled

Value
Description
Enabled
Indicates that the link_err alarm of the upstream station is

transparently transmitted to the downstream station.
Disabled
Indicates that the link_err alarm of the upstream station is not

transmitted to the downstream station.
l
Enabling the LPT can support the system to transparently transmit link status. In this way,
the downstream station can determine the running status of the upstream station according
to whether the link_err alarm occurs, and thus adopts the corresponding working status.
Therefore, whether to enable the LPT depends on the actual network situation.
Before enabling the LPT, ensure the following:
The board to be configured is an Ethernet service (such as the GE service) board.
The services carried on the board are normal.
The services carried on the board are not configured with protection.

After services borne on the unit are configured with protection, this parameter must be set to
Disabled.
B-18

B Board Parameters
Related Information
Normally, the OTU at the upstream station transmits the LPT protocol information that indicates
the normal WDM side transmission line to the OTU at the downstream station after the LPT is
enabled. When the status of the WDM side transmission line at the upstream station changes,
for example, a fault occurs or disappears, the OTU at the upstream station transparently transmits
the link_error alarm, which indicates a change in the network status, to the OTU at the
downstream station, notifying the change of the transmission line status. The downstream station
can use or stop using the standby transmission line resources to ensure smooth services on the
transmission line.
When the overhead byte supporting the LPT protocol is added in the frame format of the WDMside signals of the OTU after the LPT is enabled, the running status of the network access point
or the service network can be monitored.
B.15 Laser Status (WDM Interface)

l
Optical wavelength conversion unit
The normal service requires that the lasers on both WDM side and client side should
be opened.
When installing and commissioning OTUs, you must set the Laser Status parameter
to Close to protect the downstream boards.
In the case of the OTUs configured with inter-board 1 + 1 optical channel protection or
client-side 1 + 1 protection, whether to enable or disable the laser on the board client
side is controlled by the NE software automatically. No manual setting is required.
Optical amplifier board
In the case of the CRPC board, you can set optical interface parameters only when the
laser is disabled.
NOTE
After the commissioning, you must set the Laser Status parameter to Open.
NOTE
In the case of the inter-board 1+1 protection and client-side protection realized by the SCS board, the lasers
on the active and standby OTUs on the client side are enabled and disabled respectively in the case of
normal operation. You must not enable the disabled laser manually. Otherwise, services will be interrupted.
NOTE
The parameter value of Laser Status is not restored automatically by the T2000. That is, after the board
is replaced, the parameter value is set to the default value.

To forcibly enable the laser on the T2000 during commissioning, you need to set the Automatic
Laser Shutdown parameter to Close.

signal processing on the board is normal.
Outloop
Directly loops the accessed signals of the local equipment

back to the corresponding output optical interface before
signal processing on the premise that the signal structure is
not changed. Outloop is used to test connections between fiber
lines and connectors.
Loopback is usually used for equipment commissioning and troubleshooting. Before adding
services to the equipment, you must check whether loopback is set for the optical interfaces. If
the loopback exists, release it immediately.
Outloop indicates a mode where the unprocessed signals accessed to the local-end equipment
are directly looped back to the corresponding output interface with the signal structure
unchanged. Outloop is used to test connections between fiber lines and connectors
