Product Overview
1 Product Positioning and Features
Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is a connection-oriented, fast packet switching
technology. Integrating the advantages of circuit switching with those of packet switching,
ATM is a standard broadband integrated services digital network (B-ISDN) transfer mode.
Inverse multiplexing for ATM (IMA) is a technology that implements inverse multiplexing for
ATM.
End-to-End Service Configuration/One-Click Commissioning/One-Click Fault
Diagnosis (TP-Assist)
Compared with legacy TDM networks, packet switched networks (PSNs) have the following
characteristics:

PSNs have flexible networking and complicated configuration, and therefore have high
requirements for operating and maintenance personnel.

PSNs do not have complete overhead fields indicating their physical states, as compared
to TDM networks. If a fault occurs on a PSN, no simple and easy-to-use tool is available
to diagnose the fault.

Diversified network topologies and complicated technologies entail powerful OAM
capabilities.
To address the preceding concerns, the OptiX OSN equipment provides TP-Assist
functionality to simplify operation and improve efficiency in service configuration,
installation, commissioning, fault diagnosis, and routine maintenance. Table 1-1 describes the
TP-Assist OAM system applied to PSNs.

System control, switching,
and timing boards
An OptiX OSN 550 NE can automatically save its NE ID, extended ID, IP address, and subnet mask to
its backplane. After a new system control, switching, and timing board replaces an original one, the NE
automatically uses the saved information. Therefore, you do not need to set the NE ID, extended ID, IP
address, and subnet mask for the substitute board.
Ventilation Design
The chassis is densely covered with small air holes. Through these holes, air is let in from the
left and out from the right by fans.
Ensure the smooth flow of air inside and around the equipment. Do not block the air intake vents and air
exhaust vents of subracks when cabling. Keep the top of subracks clean.

Network Management System
About This Chapter
The OptiX OSN 550 is uniformly managed by the transmission network management system
(NMS) and local craft terminal (LCT) through the ETH port. The OptiX OSN 550 supports
the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
The NMS maintains the OSN, SDH, Metro, and DWDM network elements (NEs) on an entire
network. The NMS can implement end-to-end configurations for TDM and packet services.
The OptiX OSN 550 complies with ITU-T Recommendations. The equipment adopts a
management information model and an object-oriented management technology. With the
NMS, the equipment can exchange information with the NE software through the
communication module to manage alarms and performance events in a centralized manner. In
addition, end-to-end configuration on the management plane can be achieved.
The OptiX OSN 550 supports SNMPv2/SNMPv3, which allows a third-party NMS to
monitor equipment performance.
6.1 Network Management
This chapter describes the network management system, inter-NE communication
management, and intra-NE communication management.
6.2 DCN Management
Reliable network management ensures proper running of a network, and therefore
transmission of network management data becomes very critical. The data communication
network (DCN) is a network management data communication channel, with which users can
remotely manage and maintain NEs.

−
The NEs at sites A and C are gateway NEs (GNEs) and are connected to the external DCN through a switch
or router. All the other NEs are non-GNEs that communicate with the NMS through GNEs.
−
The NEs between sites A and D are connected with fibers and use the HWECC or IP over DCC protocol to
exchange information over ESC/OSC channels.
−
The NEs between sites E and C are connected with fibers and use the HWECC or IP over DCC protocol to
exchange information over ESC channels.
−
The NEs between sites F and C are connected with fibers and use the HWECC or IP over DCC protocol to
exchange information over inband channels.
−
Some NEs between sites A and F (NEs connected to an optical or electrical transmission device, such as
NEs at site B) are connected with network cables, and use the HWECC or IP over DCC protocol to
exchange information over Ethernet channels (at NM_ETH ports).

Intra-NE communication management: The master and slave subracks implement
intra-NE communication for each NE at sites A-D. One NE at site A has three subracks
(one master is connected to two slaves).

Product Overview
6 Network Management System
Network Management System
The network management system (NMS) provides unified management for OptiX equipment.
In compliance with associated ITU-T Recommendations, the NMS uses a standard
information management model and object-oriented management technology.
The NMS manages alarms, performance, configurations, communication, security, and
topologies of the entire optical transmission system. The NMS also gives users end-to-end
management capabilities. An NMS helps to improve network quality, lower maintenance costs,
and ensure efficient utilization of network resources.
The NMS includes two sets of network management software: iManager U2000 (U2000) and
iManager U2000 LCT (U2000 LCT). The U2000 is usually installed at a network
management center, and most equipment is managed remotely. The U2000 LCT provides the
ability to configure and maintain individual NEs. The U2000 LCT is usually installed on a PC
for local access to equipment.
Inter-NE Communication Management
Inter-NE communication management is implemented based on data communication
networks (DCNs). A DCN consists of NMSs, GNEs, non-GNEs, and the connections between
them. Both NMSs and NEs are nodes of a DCN. The DCN between the NMSs and NEs is
called the external DCN, and the DCN between NEs is called the internal DCN.

An external DCN is a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN) and uses
the TCP/IP protocol for communication. It provides communication between NMSs and
between the NMS server and GNEs.

An internal DCN uses the HWECC or TCP/IP protocol to provide communication
between NEs. NEs support inband DCN and outband DCN. The outband DCN uses
DCC overhead bytes as physical DCN channels. The inband DCN uses Ethernet service
channels as physical DCN channels.
6.2 DCN Management
Reliable network management ensures proper running of a network, and therefore
transmission of network management data becomes very critical. The data communication
network (DCN) is a network management data communication channel, with which users can
remotely manage and maintain NEs.
Table 6-1 lists the DCN solutions that the OptiX OSN 550 supports.
