Notes: Clearing the database 1660SM
To start with the BASIC CONFIGURATION it is necessary to clear the Database of the Equipment
Controller following this procedure (not suggested in the field to clear the Database)
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
V-Extract the EQUICO , set the micro-switch in the original position: a warning appears in the slots where a
card is installed (except EQUICO,MATRIX, CONGI-A).

switch is modified.
If you have a problem in your EQUICO and if you want extract it without losing the traffic
and Local configurations (LAPD,OS Address, NE Address …):
I- Extract the EQUICO board.
II-Move the micro-switch 2 ON (clearing database procedure) inside the board as indicated in the picture
above.
III- Insert the EQUICO and wait until the leds on the front side of the board turn-on.
IV- Verify that the Database is cleared: all the slots should appear empty, except for: EQUICO, Matrix (main)
and CONGI-A
V- Extract the EQUICO and put the micro-switch 2 OFF and move the micro-switch 1 ON.
VI- Insert the EQUICO and wait until the lamp on the front side of the board turn-on.
VII- Login in your NE: in the Download menu select MIB Management.
VIII- Restore the MIB that you have save before
IX- Active the MIB.
X- Extract the EQUICO and set the micro-switch in the original position.

In fact, in case of DS3, the central Office cable must be equalized at transmit side, by doing
the appropriate pre-setting, through the Craft Terminal, in order to maintain constant
reference level at the Distribution Frame.
The Access card (A3E3 or A3T3) is different for 34 Mb/s (E3) and 45 Mb/s (T3), due to this
fact the DS3 (45) interface must be equalized at transmit side by inserting the appropriate

the access card corresponding to the protecting board must be an HPROT card
the HPROT card has to be plugged at the left side of the access card group
the main/spare boards have to be adjacent.
the protecting board has to be plugged at the left side of the protected group of boards

The MS Linear Trail Protection can be created in every equipment where it’s possible to
implement a linear line protection APS.
Type of architectures:
APS 1+1 Standard:
• the protection can be single or dual ended.
APS 1+1 Proprietary:(not used)
• no K1/K2 communication protocol are implemented thus this protection can be only single ended.
Architecture 1+1 Optimized (not used )
APS 1:1 Standard:(not used)
• it provides the revertive mode managed by the K1/K2 protocol and thus the protection can be single or
dual ended.
The spare interface can be used to transport low priority traffic
For every type of architecture, the reference switching criteria are SF and SD.

Activation procedure 1660SM
Create an MS-SPRING schema with WTR, Node Identifier, Ring map and the related
Squelching Table for each node of the ring, in the desired order. WTR Ring must be the
same in all the nodes.
In the Main dialog for MS-SPRing management select "ACTIVATE" in each node of the
ring, in the desired order.Consider that, in this step, "Default K byte West or East" detection
by View Protection Status Parameter (under MS-SPRing label "Protocol exception"), will
occur on those Ports connected to the nodes not provisioned yet with the MS-SPRing
protection "created" (active).
Verify in the View Protection Status Parameter screen, at the end of the provisioning update,
that all the nodes of the ring are in "MS-SPRing active" and "No request" state.

Ports of the activated nodes connected to the nodes just deactivated.
In the Main dialog for MS-SPRing management select "DELETE" in each node of the ring.

Protection State & Commands 1660SM
T3-148
ALCATEL
Notes: Protection State & Commands 1660SM
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 network
has been updated.
The "Events" will be signaled if the K1/K2 protocol communicates to the network nodes what has
happened, without execute actions.
A single ring failure is completely restored but not two ring failures. When are present multiple ring
failures the automatic B/S protection will try to maintain on all the possible connections.
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.

Protection State & Commands:forced & manual 1660SM
The Force command executes a forced protection. The Force Ring command substitutes the working channels (AU4 1
to 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.
lockout Working Ring
force ring
automatic working ring
manual ring
T3-154
ALCATEL
Notes:forced & manual 1660SM
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 this
condition 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

Cross-Connection management: practical rules 1660SM
When an Au4 (or a VC4) is Terminated, it means that it is structured till Tu3: this is
represented as a cross-connection between Au4 and VC4.
But!: if the Au4 was previously configured with VC12: then Terminate TP means also

Notes:Terminating AU4 1660SM
The Objective of this procedure is: to connect a 2 Mb/s port to an STM16 interface. This is the
operation 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 bidirectional and not protected.
Procedure is quite similar in case of monodirectional or protected cross-connection and it is carried out
in two steps:
Configure a Tu12 held into an Au4 as cross-connection input;
Configure a VC12 as cross-connection output (or viceversa)
The operator should have in mind the following scheme:

Note: the objective is: to select Tu12 (k,l,m) i.e:

Tug3 must be terminated and structured, to get the TU12’s inside: use Structure TP option
inside Transmission pulldown menu.
Warning! The first time that an Au4 is terminated, it is structured till Tug3 ( and till Tu3) only . It is
then necessary to Structure TP to get Tu12.
If VC4 was previously structured till Tu12 in the NE, the EC remembers this configuration and the
VC4 is automatically structured till Tu12 when selecting Terminate TP. To eliminate Tu12 structure:

OH Cross Connection: general 1660SM
The following sequence of operations has to be done in order to configure the cross-
connections for OH channels:
1.st step: Create the OH TPs on which you want to operate. The OH TP are the OH
byes used to transmit the auxiliary channels. Use Overhaed / OH TP Creation menu
option for that and find the desired OH bytes in the TP Search window, with the title:
Search OH TP to be created
2.nd step: configure the EOW, if it is used. Use Overhead /OH Phone Parameters
menu option for that.Configuration consists in enabling /disabling the EOW extension
and in defining the phone number.
3.rd step: create the cross/connections between two OH TPs or between an OH TP and
the EOW connector.
T3-262
ALCATEL
Notes:OH Cross Connection 1660SM
An auxiliary channel can be transmitted on any of the available OH bytes, that are displayed
in the TP Search window, opened by Create /Choose commands.
After executing the cross-connection between the EOW external connector and an OH byte,
the call is setup by the following operations:
Connect the handset in the front of SERVICE;
Do the Attach, by switching on the handset: a green lamp is switched on (on bottom-left
in the front panel of the SERVICE) both on local and distant station;
Dial the number of the called party: 00 is for omnibus.
