Overview
The 1xOC-192/STM-64 circuit pack supports both OC-192 (SONET) and
STM-64 (SDH) services and 6500 supports four basic variants of the
1xOC-192/STM-64 circuit pack:
• non-DWDM variants available with short reach, intermediate reach, and
long reach optics (NTK523xxE5 and NTK524xxE5)
VC11/VT1.5 (Low Order; LO) and STS-1/VC3 (High Order; HO) versions
are available for these variants.
• DWDM variants with fixed wavelengths which support ITU-T DWDM
compliant wavelengths (NTK526xxE5 and NTK527xxE5 except for
NTK526JAE5, NTK526JBE5, NTK527JAE5, and NTK527JB) as follows:
— 36 wavelengths for interworking with Common Photonic Layer
systems equipment or 6500 Photonic layer
— 16 C-band and 16 L-band wavelengths for interworking with the 565,
5100 and 5200 Advanced Services Platform DWDM optical
multiplexer (OMX). When interworking with OMX while the 6500 on
one end uses OC-192/STM-64 DWDM optical interfaces and the 6500
on other end uses OC-192/STM-64 DWDM AM1/AM2 tunable optical
interfaces, you must contact your Ciena representative for link budget
validation.
• DWDM variants with C-band tunable laser and AM1/AM2 dithering
support (NTK526JAE5 and NTK527JAE5). The DWDM laser is tunable
across the entire ITU-T DWDM C-band with 50 GHz spacing (1528.77 nm
to 1565.09 nm) (see Table 1-9 on page 1-29) allowing wavelength
interworking as follows:
— 88 wavelengths compliant with Common Photonic Layer or 6500
Photonic layers
— 80 wavelengths compliant with Optical Long Haul 1600
— 32 wavelengths compliant with MOR/MOR Plus
— 16 wavelengths compliant with 200GHz 565, 5100 and 5200
Advanced Services Platform DWDM optical multiplexer (OMX)
— 32 wavelengths compliant with 100 GHz 565, 5100 and 5200
Advanced Services Platform DWDM optical multiplexer (OMX)

• DWDM variant with L-band tunable laser (NTK526JBE5 and NTK527JB).

The DWDM laser is tunable across the entire ITU-T DWDM L-band with
50 GHz spacing (1569.59 nm to 1605.74 nm)
Both STS-1/VC3 (High Order; HO) (NTK526JBE5) and VT1.5/LO (Low
Order; LO) (NTK527JB) versions are available for this variant.
When interworking with OMX product and to avoid link budget problem, you
must set the Tx FEC Format of the 1xOC-192/STM-64 STS-1/HO DWDM
C-Band AM1/AM2, 1xOC-192/STM-64 VT1.5/LO DWDM C-Band AM1/AM2,
and 1xOC-192/STM-64 DWDM L-band tunable optical interfaces to Super
concatenated FEC. The Rx Equalization firmware must be also running on the
OMX side. The AM1/AM2 dithering support is required when interworking with
Long Haul 1600 systems and MOR+ systems.
VT1.5/LO and STS-1/HO circuit packs

There are two versions of the 1xOC-192/STM-64 circuit packs:
• VT1.5/Low Order (LO)
This circuit pack supports VT1.5/VC11, VT2/VC12, and above switching
granularity (including LO_VC3).
• STS-1/High Order (HO)
This circuit pack supports STS1/HO_VC3/VC4 and above switching
granularity.
To use the VT1.5/VC11 and VT2/VC12 granularity, both the optical interface
circuit packs and the cross-connect circuit packs must support VT.15/VC11
and VT2/VC12 switching granularity.
Note: The LO circuit packs can achieve LO switching granularity provided

that the shelf in which they are equipped is equipped with LO
cross-connect circuit packs. The LO circuit packs can achieve LO_VC3
switching granularity on HO cross-connect circuit pack when using the
240G+ STS-1/VC-3 (240/0G) (NTK557EAE5) or 640G+ STS-1/VC-3
(640/0G) (NTK610BBE5) cross-connect circuit packs.

pack and Figure 1-2 on page 1-5 to Figure 1-9 on page 1-12 show the
functional block diagrams of a 1xOC-192/STM-64 circuit packs.

Note 1: The typical power consumption values are based on operation at an ambient temperature of
25 (+/-3oC) and voltage of 54 V dc (+/-2.5 V) or in the full operational voltage range in the case of
AC-powered equipment. For practical purposes, the rounded typical power consumption of an
equipment can be used as the equipment heat dissipation when calculating facilities thermal loads (an
estimate of the long term heat release of the item in a system).
Note 2: The power budget values are based on the maximum power consumption in an ambient
temperature range from 5oC to 40oC at a voltage of 40 V dc (+/-2.5 V) or in the full operational voltage
range in the case of AC-powered equipment. These rounded power values must be used in sizing
feeders and estimating theoretical maximum power draw.

Note 1: The latency values in this table are for network planning purposes. Typical latency is specified
separately for the unidirectional ingress path to the cross-connect and the unidirectional egress path
from cross-connect. To calculate the end-to-end latency through the system, add the stated ingress
latency, the cross-connect latency (refer to Common Equipment, 323-1851-102.1 (Chapter 2)) and the
egress latency (for the specific card in use). The measurement does not include the fiber latency.
Note 2: For OCn/STMn facilities, this is the typical latency for STS-1, STS-Nc, LO_VC3 and HO paths.
LO VT1.5, VT2, VC11 and VC12 paths incur a typical latency of 17 µs.
Note 3: For an OTM2 facility, the typical OTM2 to XC latency for STS-1, STS-Nc, LO_VC3 and HO
paths is as follows: OTM2 with FEC Off is 6 µs, OTM2 with RS8 FEC is 13 µs and OTM2 with SCFEC
is 50 µs.
Note 4: For an OTM2 facility, the typical OTU2 to XC latency for LO VT1.5, VT2, VC11 and VC12 paths
is as follows: OTM2 with FEC Off is 18 µs, OTM2 with RS8 FEC is 24 µs and OTM2 with SCFEC is 61 µs.

8xOC-3/12/STM-1/4 circuit packs (NTK513MAE5 and NTK513DAE5)

Overview
The 6500 supports OC-3/STM-1 or OC-12/STM-4 per port and is selectable
through software. The same circuit pack supports OC-3/12 (SONET),
STM-1/4 (SDH), and STM-1J/4J (SDH-J) services.
The 8xOC-3/12/STM-1/4 circuit pack uses SFP optics for short reach,
intermediate reach, long reach, and CWDM applications or an STM-1e SFP
for intra-office applications. VT1.5/Low Order (LO) and STS-1/High Order
(HO) versions are available for 8xOC-3/12/STM-1/4 circuit packs
(NTK513DAE5 and NTK513MAE5).
Note: If the external synchronization mode is SDH-J and the use of the
64 kHz ESI or 6 MHz ESO ports is required, the following releases of the
cross-connect circuit packs are required:
- NTK557AA/BA: Release 08 or higher
- NTK557EAE5/GAE5: Release 01 or higher
- NTK557ES/GS: Release 01 or higher
- NTK557NA/PA/QA: Release 04 or higher
- NTK557TB: Release 01 or higher
- NTK557AA/BA: Release 05A, 06B
- NTK557NA/PA/QA: Release 02A
The 02A, 05A, and 06B releases are cross-connect circuit packs that have
been upgraded as a result of a return/repair operation.
Since the introduction of the SDH-J mode in 6500, only circuit packs
meeting the above criteria are being manufactured and shipped.
There are two versions of the 8xOC-3/12/STM-1/4 circuit packs:

These circuit packs support STS1/HO_VC3/VC4 and above switching
granularity.

• auto-detection of SFP modules, which are hot pluggable
• auto provisioning of facilities at OC-3/STM-1 or OC-12/STM-4 specific
SFPs
• manual provisioning of facilities at SFPs that support both OC-3/STM-1
and OC12/STM4 facility types. For example, since the IR-1/S1.1_S4.1
OC-3/12/STM-1/4 SFP supports both OC-3/STM-1 and OC12/STM4
facility types, the user must manually provision an OC-3/STM-1 or
OC-12/STM-4.
• section/RS DCC or line/MS DCC selectable (default is Off). Section/RS
DCC can be enabled on all ports, line/MS DCC can be enabled on any two
ports
• optical power input and output monitoring on all circuit pack types (optical
power is not applicable to STM-1e SFPs)
• selectable automatic laser shut off controlled by software. For STM-1e
SFPs, you must ensure that automatic laser shut off is disabled (see
Part 1 of Configuration - Provisioning and Operating, 323-1851-310).
• unprotected, 1+1/MSP linear, and UPSR/SNCP traffic protection schemes
• supports Control Plane (OC3/OC12/STM1/STM4 facility is only supported
as add/drop Control Plane facility and not Network Control Plane facility)

Overview
The 16xOC-n/STM-n is a multirate optical OC-n/STM-n circuit pack (MRO)
that uses OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4, or OC-48/STM-16 SFP optics with up
to 5 or 10 Gbit/s of switching capacity for short reach, intermediate reach, long
reach, CWDM, and DWDM variants applications or an STM-1e SFP for
intra-office applications.
This release of 6500 offers the following variants of 16xOC-n/STM-n circuit

pack:
• 5G version (also referred to as 16xOC-n/STM-n 5G) offered in two types:
— 16xOC-n/STM-n 5G STS-1/HO SFP circuit pack (NTK512FAE5)
— 16xOC-n/STM-n 5G VT1.5/LO SFP circuit pack (NTK513FAE5)
The 16xOC-n/STM-n 5G circuit pack supports both OC-3 or OC-12
(SONET) and STM-1 or STM-4 (SDH) services.
• 10G version (also referred to as 16xOC-n/STM-n 10G) offered in two
types:
— 16xOC-n/STM-n 10G STS-1/HO SFP circuit pack (NTK512GAE5)
— 16xOC-n/STM-n 10G VT1.5/LO SFP circuit pack (NTK513GAE5)
The 16xOC-n/STM-n 10G circuit pack supports OC-3, OC-12, or OC-48
(SONET) and STM-1, STM-4, or STM-16 (SDH) services.
The DWDM SFPs in 16xOC-n/STM-n 10G support ITU-T DWDM compliant

wavelengths as follows:
• 16 wavelengths on the 200GHz grid and 32 wavelengths on the 100GHz
There are two versions of the 16xOC-n/STM-n 5G and 16xOC-n/STM-n 10G

circuit packs:
This circuit pack supports VT1.5/VC11, VT2/VC12, and above switching
This circuit pack supports LO_VC3, STS1/HO_VC3/VC4, and above
switching granularity.

To use LO_VC3, VT1.5/VC11, and VT2/VC12 granularity, both the optical

interface circuit packs and the cross-connect circuit packs must support the
required switching granularity.
Note: The MRO LO circuit packs can achieve LO switching granularity

provided that the shelf in which they are equipped is equipped with
compatible cross-connect circuit packs. The MRO LO circuit packs can
achieve LO_VC3 switching granularity on HO cross-connect circuit pack
when using the 240G+ STS-1/VC-3 (240/0G) (NTK557EAE5) or 640G+
STS-1/VC-3 (640/0G) (NTK610BBE5) cross-connect circuit packs.

services on 16xOC-n/STM-n 10G variant (NTK512GAE5 and
NTK513GAE5). STM1/STM4 facilities on 16xOC-n/STM-n 10G circuit
packs do not support SDH-J port mode.
• There are some restrictions on how to fill up a 16xOC-n/STM-n 5G or
16xOC-n/STM-n 10G circuit pack (that is, blocking rules). You must see

(2+8)xOC-n/STM-n circuit packs (NTK521CAE5, NTK521DAE5,

NTK522CAE5, NTK522DAE5)
Overview
The (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n circuit pack is a multirate optical OC-n/STM-n circuit
pack (MRO) that uses OC-192/STM-64 XFP and OC-48/STM-16 SFP optics
up to 20 Gbit/s of switching capacity for short reach, intermediate reach, long
reach, CWDM, and DWDM variants applications. The (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n
circuit packs support both OC-48 or OC-192 (SONET) and STM-16 or
STM-64 (SDH) services.
This release of 6500 offers the following variants of (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n circuit

pack:
• OC-n/STM-n 20G STS-1/VC-3 2x XFP/8x SFP (NTK521CAE5)
This circuit pack is also referred to as (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n STS-1/VC-3
20G.
• OC-n/STM-n OTN 20G STS-1/VC-3 2x XFP/8x SFP (NTK521DAE5)
This circuit pack is also referred to as (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n STS-1/VC-3
OTN 20G.
Note: The (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n STS-1/VC-3 20G and (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n
STS-1/VC-3 OTN 20G circuit packs (NTK521CAE5 and NTK521DAE5)
support high-order (HO) STS-1/VC3 path connections (and higher rates)
as well as LO_VC3 connections. These circuit packs do not support
low-order (LO) VT1.5/VC11 and VT2/VC12 path connections. These
circuit packs can achieve LO_VC3 switching granularity on HO
cross-connect circuit pack when using the 240G+ STS-1/VC-3 (240/0G)
(NTK557EAE5) or 640G+ STS-1/VC-3 (640/0G) (NTK610BBE5)
cross-connect circuit packs.
• OC-n/STM-n 20G VT-1.5/LO 2x XFP/8x SFP (NTK522CAE5)

This circuit pack is also referred to as (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n LO 20G.
• OC-n/STM-n OTN 20G VT-1.5/LO 2x XFP/8x SFP (NTK522DAE5)
This circuit pack is also referred to as (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n LO OTN 20G.
Note: The (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n LO circuit packs (NTK522CAE5 and
NTK522DAE5) support low-order (LO) VT1.5/VC11 and VT2/VC12 path
connections (and higher rates). These circuit packs can achieve LO_VC3

The OC-48/STM-16 DWDM SFPs in (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n circuit packs support

ITU-T DWDM compliant wavelengths as follows:
• 16 wavelengths on the 200GHz grid and 32 wavelengths on the 100GHz
The OC-192/STM-64 DWDM XFPs in (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n circuit packs

support ITU-T DWDM compliant wavelengths as follows:
• 36 wavelengths for interworking with Common Photonic Layer equipment
or 6500 Photonic layer
• 16 C-band and 16 L-band wavelengths for interworking with the 565, 5100
and 5200 Advanced Services Platform DWDM optical multiplexer (OMX).
When interworking with OMX while the 6500 on one end uses
OC-192/STM-64 DWDM optical interfaces and the 6500 on other end
uses OC-192/STM-64 AM1/AM2 DWDM tunable optical interfaces, you
must contact your Ciena representative for link budget validation.
There are two variants of the (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n circuit pack:

• STS-1/VC-3
These circuit packs support LO_VC3, STS1/HO_VC3/VC4, and above
switching granularity.
To use LO_VC3, VT1.5/VC11, and VT2/VC12 granularity, both the optical

interface circuit packs and the cross-connect circuit packs must support the
required switching granularity.

that the shelf in which they are equipped is equipped with compatible
cross-connect circuit packs. These circuit packs can achieve LO_VC3

packs except 600G PKT/OTN, 20G/20G VT1.5/VC-12, and MXC
cross-connect circuit packs. VT1.5/LO connections in (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n
LO circuit packs can only be provisioned if the shelf is equipped with
cross-connect (XC) circuit packs capable of supporting VT1.5/VC11 or
VT2/VC12 switching granularity. The total amount of bandwidth that can
be supported in a given slot depends on the capabilities of the
cross-connect circuit pack provisioned in the shelf as well as the shelf type
(see “14-slot backplane traffic capacities per cross-connect circuit pack,
“14-slot backplane traffic capacities per 14-slot shelf type”, “32-slot
backplane traffic capacities per cross-connect circuit pack”, and “32-slot
backplane traffic capacities per 32-slot shelf type” tables for more details).
The maximum of 20G of bandwidth to the backplane can only be used if
the (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n circuit packs are equipped in:
— slots 5, 6, 9, or 10 of any type of 14-slot shelf where 160G+ (160/0)
cross-connect circuit packs are used in the 14-slot shelf, or
— any slots of converged or packet-optical shelf type of 14-slot shelf
(slots 1-6 and 9-14) where 240G+ (240/0) or 240G+/80G (240/80)
cross-connect circuit packs are used in the 14-slot shelf, or
— any slots of 32-slot shelf (slots 1-8, 11-18, 21-28, and 31-38) where
640G+ (640/0) cross-connect circuit packs are used in the 32-slot
shelf.

8xOC-n/STM-n 5G VT1.5/LO SFP circuit packs (NTK511AA)

Overview
The 8xOC-n/STM-n 5G VT1.5/LO SFP circuit pack (also referred to as
8xOC-n/STM-n) is a multirate optical OC-n/STM-n circuit pack (MRO) that
supports eight SONET/SDH facilities with up to 5 Gbit/s of total switching
capacity (six ports support STM-0J, eight ports support OC-3/12, STM-1/4
and STM-1J/4J). Each port can be equipped with a compatible SFP optical
plugs for short reach, intermediate reach, long reach, and CWDM optical
applications or with an STM-1e SFP for intra-office electrical applications.
Note 1: If the external synchronization mode is SDH-J and the use of the
64 kHz ESI or 6 MHz ESO ports is required, the following releases of the
cross-connect circuit packs are required:
- NTK557AA/BA: Release 08 or higher
- NTK557EAE5/GAE5: Release 01 or higher
- NTK557ES/GS: Release 01 or higher
- NTK557NA/PA/QA: Release 04 or higher
- NTK557TB: Release 01 or higher
- NTK557AA/BA: Release 05A, 06B
- NTK557NA/PA/QA: Release 02A
The 02A, 05A, and 06B releases are cross-connect circuit packs that have
been upgraded as a result of a return/repair operation.
Since the introduction of the SDH-J mode in 6500, only circuit packs
meeting the above criteria are being manufactured and shipped.
Note 2: This LO circuit pack can achieve LO switching granularity
provided that the shelf in which they are equipped is equipped with
compatible cross-connect circuit packs. The LO circuit packs can achieve
LO_VC3 switching granularity on HO cross-connect circuit pack when
using the 240G+ STS-1/VC-3 (240/0G) (NTK557EAE5) or 640G+
STS-1/VC-3 (640/0G) (NTK610BBE5) cross-connect circuit packs.

The 8xOC-n/STM-n circuit pack (NTK511AA) provides the following
functionality.
• up to eight pluggable (SFP) 155M/622M interfaces (ports 1 to 8)
• up to six pluggable (SFP) 51M interfaces (ports 2 to 4 and ports 6 to 8)
• OC-3/12 (SONET), STM-1/4 (SDH), or STM-0J/1J/4J (SDH-J) services
• auto-provisioning of facilities at STM-0J, OC-3/STM-1/STM-1J, or
OC-12/STM-4/STM-4J specific SFPs
• manual provisioning of facilities at SFPs that support both
OC-3/STM-1/STM-1J and OC12/STM4/STM4J facility types. For
example, since the IR-1/S1.1_S4.1 OC-3/12/STM-1/4 SFP supports both
OC-3/STM-1/STM-1J and OC12/STM4/STM4J facility types, the user
must manually provision an OC-3/STM-1/STM-1J or
OC-12/STM-4/STM4J.
— terminate section/RS and line/MS overhead bytes in Rx direction
— insert section/RS and line/MS overhead bytes in Tx direction
• section/RS DCC or line/MS DCC is selectable (default is Off). Section/RS
DCC can be enabled on all eight ports. Line/MS DCC can be enabled on
all eight ports.
• monitor optical power input and output on all circuit pack types (optical
Procedure 1-6, “Editing facility parameters” on page 1-132).
• automatic detection/provisioning of SFP modules, which are hot
pluggable.
• unprotected, 1+1/MSP linear, and UPSR/SNCP traffic protection schemes
• supports SSM monitoring/generation
• 8xOC-n/STM-n circuit packs support DSM when equipped with
OC-3/STM-1 SFPs.
• Control Plane (OCn/STMn facility is only supported as add/drop Control
Plane facility and not Network Control Plane facility)

The 8xOC-n/STM-n circuit pack supports the following cross-connection
types:
The 8xOC-n/STM-n circuit pack supports the following cross-connection
rates:
• non-concatenated rates of STS1/AU3-mapped VC3, AU4-mapped VC3,
VT1.5/VC11, or VT2/VC12
• concatenated rates of STS3c/VC4 for OC-3/STM-1 and OC-12/STM-4
ports
• concatenated rates of STS12c/VC4-4c for OC-12/STM-4 ports
Note: The 8xOC-n/STM-n (NTK511AA) circuit pack does not support

Provisioning rules summary for the OC-192/STM-64 DWDM circuit packs

• When an OTM2 facility is automatically or manually created on port 1 of a
OC192/STM64 DWDM circuit packs, an associated OC192/STM64 facility
is auto-created.
• Deleting an OTM2 facility automatically deletes the associated
OC192/STM64 facility.
• Putting the OTM2 facility out-of-service or in-service causes the
OC192/STM64 facility to go out-of-service or in-service.
• Putting the OC192 /STM64 facility out-of-service or in-service has no
effect on the OTM2 facility (however putting the OC192 /STM64 facility
out-of-service may impact the traffic).

Procedure 1-1
Provisioning a circuit pack automatically
If automatic equipping is enabled, an OC-n/STM-n circuit pack and any
pluggables present are automatically provisioned when the circuit pack is
inserted in the shelf. Facilities may or may not auto-provision, depending on
the circuit pack and pluggable type. See Table 1-31 on page 1-129 for facilities
that auto-provision and facilities that must be manually provisioned.
To enable automatic equipping, refer to the “Enabling/disabling slot-based

automatic equipping” procedure in Administration and Security,
323-1851-301.
See the “Equipping rules” section for supported slots for 1xOC-192/STM-64,
2xOC-48/STM-16, 8xOC-3/12/STM-1/4, 16xOC-n/STM-n, 8xOC-n/STM-n,
and (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n circuit packs.
If a circuit pack is inserted in an unsupported slot, an Autoprovisioning

Mismatch alarm is raised.
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
Electrostatic discharge can damage electrostatic sensitive
devices. Use antistatic protection to avoid damaging circuit
packs.
CAUTION
Risk of autoprovisioning failure
Make sure that you install the shelf processor first, then the
cross-connect circuit packs. Insert circuit packs in the correct
order to ensure autoprovisioning of circuit packs.
CAUTION
Risk of circuit pack damage
Do not force a circuit pack all the way to the back of its slot if it
resists insertion. Before installing a circuit pack, make sure
you know the detailed procedure for inserting the circuit packs.

Procedure 1-1 (continued)

Provisioning a circuit pack automatically
CAUTION
Risk of incorrect installation
Make sure that the circuit pack lock/eject latches are locked in
position. If the lock covers are not locked, the latch sensors on
the circuit pack do not allow the shelf to identify the circuit
pack, and do not allow the circuit pack to autoprovision.
Prerequisites
• To provision equipment for an empty equipment slot, ensure the last
equipment that occupied the slot and its related facilities and
cross-connects have been deleted.
• Ensure the plastic pin protector on the circuit pack has been removed.
• Ensure automatic equipping is enabled.
Step Action
1 Wear an appropriate ESD personal grounding device to dissipate

electrostatic charges. If you are wearing an antistatic wrist strap, connect the
cord on the shelf installed in a grounded rack/cabinet or clip to a suitable
ground point.
2 Insert the circuit pack in the correct slot in the shelf.
If you are logged in to Site Manager when you automatically provision a circuit
pack, click Refresh in the Equipment & Facility Provisioning application to
display the circuit pack in the list of available equipment.

Procedure 1-2
Provisioning a pluggable automatically
When automatic equipping is enabled, a pluggable is automatically
provisioned when the pluggable is inserted into the circuit pack port. Facilities
may or may not auto-provision, depending on the circuit pack and pluggable
type. See Table 1-31 on page 1-129 for facilities that auto-provision and
facilities that must be manually provisioned.
To enable automatic equipping, refer to the “Enabling/disabling slot-based

automatic equipping” procedure in Administration and Security,
323-1851-301.
If a pluggable is inserted in an unsupported circuit pack and automatic

equipping is enabled, an Autoprovisioning Mismatch - Pluggable alarm is
raised.
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
Electrostatic discharge can damage electrostatic sensitive
devices. Use antistatic protection to avoid damaging circuit
packs.
Prerequisites
• Ensure the last pluggable that occupied the circuit pack port and its related
facilities and cross-connects have been deleted.
• Ensure the plastic pluggable port protector has been removed.
• Ensure automatic equipping is enabled.

Procedure 1-7
Changing the protection scheme for a pair of facilities
Use this procedure to change the protection scheme for a pair of OCn/STMn
facilities from:
• 1+1/MSP linear to unprotected
• unprotected to 1+1/MSP linear
• unprotected to 2-Fiber BLSR/MS-SPRing
• 2-Fiber BLSR/MS-SPRing to unprotected
• unprotected to 4-Fiber BLSR/MS-SPRing/HERS
• 4-Fiber BLSR/MS-SPRing/HERS to unprotected
CAUTION
Changing the protection scheme is a service impacting
procedure.
The following apply when changing the protection scheme:

• The working and protection ports on an adjacent pair of multi-port traffic
circuit packs must be horizontally aligned. For example, if the working port
is on slot 1 port 3, then the protection port is on slot 2 port 3 (same port
number). This rule applies for all multi-port circuit packs operating in
protection pairs irrespective of protection scheme being utilized.
• For multiple port interface circuit packs, you can provision the ports to
have different protection schemes.
• You cannot change the protection scheme from unprotected to 1+1/MSP
linear if there are already cross-connects provisioned on the facility that
will become the protection facility.
• The BLSR/MS-SPRing scheme cannot be provisioned if there are already
cross-connects provisioned on either of the two facilities to be provisioned.
• The 2-Fiber BLSR/MS-SPRing protection scheme is only applicable to
OC-48/STM-16 and OC-192/STM-64 facilities.
• The 4-Fiber BLSR/MS-SPRing/HERS protection scheme is only
applicable to OC-192/STM-64 facilities on the 1xOC-192/STM-64 and
(2+8)xOC-n/STM-n circuit packs.
• For 1+1/MSP linear (including SDH-J), and BLSR/MS-SPRing protection
scheme, both working and protection OTM2 and OCn/STMn (STMnJ)
facilities must be set to the same port mode.


Prerequisites
To perform this procedure, you must:
• ensure you have all the documentation relating to editing and deleting
cross-connects, editing a BLSR/MS-SPRing configuration, and changing
a facility state. Refer to the “Editing a path connection”, “Deleting path
connection”, and “Editing a BLSR/MS-SPRing/HERS ring map”
procedures in Part 1 of Configuration - Bandwidth and Data Services,

Procedure 1-8
Creating ring configurations
Use this procedure to create configurations for BLSR/MS-SPRing/HERS rings
for the following circuit packs:
• 1xOC-192/STM-64
• 2xOC-48/STM-16
• 16xOC-n/STM-n (OC48/STM16 facilities)
• (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n
You can save the configurations as ring configuration files to provide a starting
point or template for creating additional ring configurations. Refer to “Ring
APS configuration editor parameters” on page 1-183 for details on ring
parameters.
Note: This is a generic procedure to create a ring configuration for the

circuit packs listed above. For detailed information on ring configurations
and related procedures, refer to "BLSR/MS-SPRing APS configuration
files editing" (Chapter 1) and "BLSR/MS-SPRing APS provisioning"
(Chapter 2) in Part 1 of the Configuration - Bandwidth and Data Services,
323-1851-320.
Step Action
1 Select Ring APS Configuration Editor from the Tools menu to open the

to that have at least one pair of facilities that are BLSR/MS-SPRing/HERS
protected. You can type in any other node identifier, whether or not the node
is known to Site Manager.
When a node is selected from the Node drop down list, the entries in the
facility drop-down list(s) are updated. You should first define the node, then
the facilities, otherwise the user provided facility data is replaced whenever a
new node is selected. However, the facility entries are not affected if you type
the node name instead of selecting it from the drop down list.
7 Type an APS identifier in the APS ID field or select an APS identifier from the
drop-down list.

Manager knows to be an East facility (that is, a BLSR/MS-SPRing working
member of a 2-fiber group) and are associated with the node selected in the
Node field. You can type in any other facility identifier, whether or not it is
known to Site Manager.
Note: “Next node” in the East facility linked to: Next node field changes to
the node name (for example, 6500-1, 6500-2, etc.) after the first node has
been entered. For example; East facility <facility-shelf-slot-port> linked to:
West of 6500-1. If the node is not the first node and the neighbor has no node
name or TID assigned to it but has an APS ID, the label appears as: East
facility <facility-shelf-slot-port> linked to: West of node with APSID<#>.
When you select a value in one of the facility drop-down lists, the other list
automatically adjusts to show the protection group mate facility. If you modify
both facilities, the automatic selection of the mate is disabled, but becomes
re-enabled if you select another node.
When you add the node information to the Nodes area, this facility appears
on right side of node and connects the node to the node below it in the Nodes
area. The last node in the Nodes area is connected to the first node.

DCC/GCC support and parameters

Table 1-42 on page 1-173 provides a list of the Lower Layer DCC/GCC
parameters.
Lower Layer DCC/GCC parameters

The Lower Layer DCC/GCC option provides a single table which displays the
DCC/GCC parameters for any OCn/STMn/STM0J/STM1J/STM4J/OTMn
facilities that have a lower layer DCC/GCC provisioned.
Use the Add button to provision new DCC/GCC circuits and the Delete button
to delete existing DCC/GCC circuits. The Edit button is only enabled for editing
the LAPD parameters. When adding a DCC/GCC circuit, consider the
following:
• A maximum of two line/MS DCC circuits are supported on each
8xOC-3/12/STM-1/4 circuit pack.
• On the (2+8)xOC-n/STM-n circuit pack, 8 x SDCC/RS DCC and 8 x
LDCC/MS DCC are available on the OCn/STMn facilities. Port 1 & Port 3
and Port 2 & Port 7 share the same SDCC/RS DCC and LDCC/MS DCC
as both ports cannot be provisioned at the same time.
• 2 x GCC0 and 2 x GCC1 are available on the OTM2 facilities of the
(2+8)xOC-n/STM-n OTN 20G circuit pack.
• Each end of the DCC/GCC circuit must be provisioned with the same
options.
• When adding a DCC circuit, the L2 Frame Size and L2 Side Role fields
only become available when the LAPD option is selected.
• When adding a DCC circuit, the Mate field only become available when
the Transparent option is selected.
• Once a new DCC/GCC circuit has been added, an IISIS or OSPF circuit
must be added for this port (except for a transparent DCC). See “IISIS
Circuit parameters” on page 1-177 and “OSPF Circuit parameters” on
page 1-180.
• You must delete the IISIS or OSPF circuit for the DCC/GCC circuit before
deleting the DCC/GCC circuit.
• Adding or deleting a lower layer DCC/GCC entry with its Protocol
parameter set to PPP, automatically adds or deletes an associated PPP
circuit with IP address of 0.0.0.0.

For in-band communication between OSRP nodes, each facility on which

OSRP is enabled requires the Line/MS DCC channel to be allocated for
control plane communications (neighbor discovery, topology discovery,
routing and signaling). This LDCC channel requires the following parameters
and settings:
• Carrier = Line/MS
• Network Domain = SONET/SDH Control Plane
• Protocol = LAPD (automatically set for the SONET/SDH Control Plane
network domain)
No additional provisioning, such as IP address or OSPF/IISIS circuits, is

required on the LDCC channel for OSRP communications.
If OAM communications are also required between shelves containing OSRP

instances, the Section DCC (SDCC) channel must be used
(Network Domain = MCN), as control plane and OAM communications do not
share the same channel.
For more information about the control plane communications, refer to 6500
Packet-Optical Platform Control Plane Application Guide, NTRN71AA.

provisioned data ring the Nodes area. The connections are shown from the point of
on view of the node selected from the drop-down list, with the
selected node at the top of the Nodes area. If a node does not
have a node identifier, only the APS ID appears in the
drop-down list.
The second node is the node connected to the east facility. If
the facility AIDs is not specified for the first node, then the
second node can be any of the two nodes connected to the first
node (a warning message appears at the bottom of the window
indicating that the list of nodes may not correspond to the order
that will be used at provisioning time). Both AIDs must be
specified before the node can be considered for provisioning.


Nodes Displays a selectable graphical representation of the nodes

configured in the ring with their facility interconnections. The
nodes in the Nodes area are organized as set using the View
ordered as provisioned data on drop-down list.
The grey blocks in the center column of the Nodes area
represent the nodes in the ring. Each rectangular block includes
the node type, node name, and automatic protection switch
identifier (APS ID) associated with the protection group on the
node.
The facility identifiers for the facilities used by each node for ring
connectivity are depicted by white blocks on either side of node
and include the port orientation and facility identifier. The first
node in the Nodes area is connected to the last node.
For nodes running 6500 Release 3.0 or earlier software or if the
node identifier was not saved, some or all of the nodes but the
node the data was loaded from, may only display the APS ID.
The facility identifiers are only displayed for the node from
which the data was obtained.

Path connections parameters

The following tables detail the OC-n/STM-n circuit pack parameters
associated with the Path Connections Site Manager application.
Table 1-48
Path Connections application parameters for OC-n/STM-n circuit packs
Parameter Description
Connection ID The connection identifier string is used to identify a provisioned path connection.
The path connection ID can contain a maximum of 64 characters, with the
exception of the \, “, and % characters.
For connections created by the SONET/SDH Control Plane, the connection
identifier string is assigned a network wide unique identifier, called a Network
Call Correlation Identification (NCCI).
For connections created by the OTN Control Plane, the connection identifier
string includes the Sub-Network Connection (SNC) name, in the format
Node ID_SNC Name_SNC reincarnation number.
Note: Support for 64 characters connection IDs is only supported from ONM
Release 6.0 onwards.
