Equipping rules
The following equipping rules apply to 63xE1 circuit packs:
• The 63xE1 circuit pack is a single slot interface.
• The 63xE1 circuit packs can be equipped in 14-slot optical/front electrical
shelf, 14-slot converged optical/front electrical shelf, or 14-slot metro front
electrical shelf type:
— 14-slot shelf supports equipment protection for the 63xE1 circuit packs
in slots 1-4 and 9-12 using 1:N protection (N=1 to 4) in two banks of
1:4. Each bank requires a 63xE1 protection circuit pack. The 63xE1
protection circuit pack in slot 13 of a 14-slot shelf type provides
protection for the 63xE1 working circuit packs in slots 1-4. The 63xE1
protection circuit pack in slot 14 of a 14-slot shelf type provides
protection for the 63xE1 working circuit packs in slots 9-12. The 1:N
protection also requires E1 I/O interface modules and protection
modules in the lower electrical interface section of the optical/front
electrical or converged optical/front electrical shelf. The I/O modules
provide input and output of electrical signals for traffic. The I/O
modules are removable and replaceable. For more information on E1
I/O interface modules, see “E1 I/O panel (NTK571xxE5)” on
page 1-80). Unprotected E1 services do not require protection
modules.

ATTENTION
Release 01 of the 63xE1 electrical circuit packs NTK541BA/PA are only
compatible with optical/front electrical shelf NTK503BA and are not
compatible with metro front electrical shelf (NTK503GA), and converged
optical/front electrical shelf (NTK503BDE5) (which have a split battery
return). For metro front electrical shelf (NTK503GA), and converged
optical/front electrical shelf (NTK503BDE5), you must use Release 02 or
higher of the 63xE1 electrical circuit packs NTK541BA/PA. Release 02 or
higher of the 63xE1 electrical circuit packs NTK541BA/PA are also
compatible with optical/front electrical shelf NTK503BA.
• 63xE1 circuit packs are not supported in 2-slot, 7-slot, and 32-slot shelves.
• For the 63xE1 circuit packs, you must use cross-connect circuit packs and
optical interface circuit packs that support VT2/VC12 switching granularity.
• An ETSI rack can support cables for a maximum of 1008 E1 ports
(equivalent to two 14-slot optical/front electrical or converged optical/front
electrical shelves fully filled with eight 63xE1 working circuit packs).
• Due to the design of the E1 I/O panel, slots 1 to 4 of a 14-slot optical/front
electrical or converged optical/front electrical shelf cannot contain a mix of
63xE1 circuit packs with any other type of circuit pack using electrical
interfaces such as 24xDS3/EC-1, 24xDS3/E3, 16xSTM-1e, or
24x10/100BT circuit packs. Similarly, slots 9 to 12 cannot contain a mix of
63xE1 circuit packs with any other type of circuit pack using electrical
interfaces such as 24xDS3/EC-1, 24xDS3/E3, 16xSTM-1e, or
24x10/100BT circuit packs. However you can have 63xE1 circuit packs in
slots 1 to 4 and 24xDS3/EC-1, 24xDS3/E3, 16xSTM-1e, or 24x10/100BT
circuit packs using electrical interfaces in slots 9 to 12, or vice versa.
• Additional equipping rules for 63xE1 electrical interface circuit packs when
using 14-slot optical/front electrical shelf, converged optical/front electrical
shelf, and metro front electrical shelf assemblies in a PTE2000-EEA rack:
— The PTE2000-EEA rack can support cables for a maximum of 504 E1
ports (equivalent to one optical/front electrical shelf, converged
optical/front electrical shelf, or metro front electrical shelf fully filled
with eight 63xE1 working circuit packs).
— Between one or two optical/front electrical shelf, converged
optical/front electrical shelf, or metro front electrical shelf assemblies,
a maximum of four 63xE1 working circuit packs can be assigned to
slots 1-4.
— Between one or two optical/front electrical shelf, converged
optical/front electrical shelf, or metro front electrical shelf assemblies,
a maximum of four 63xE1 working circuit packs can be assigned to
slots 9-12.

• The 63xE1 circuit packs require the appropriate I/O interface hardware.
For this release, the I/O interface hardware can be only installed in the
electrical interface chassis of a 14-slot optical/front electrical shelf,
converged optical/front electrical shelf, or metro front electrical shelf.
— The optical/front electrical shelf or converged optical/front electrical
shelf supports two I/O panels, each supports:
– Up to 252 E1 interfaces (input/outputs) on eight connectors.
– Up to four I/O protection modules.
– Up to eight 120 ohm converter modules.
— The metro front electrical shelf supports eight I/O modules, each
supports up to 63 E1 interfaces on two connectors.
• Equipping rules for the E1 interface hardware in a 14-slot optical/front
electrical or converged optical/front electrical shelf:
— When installing a 63xE1 working circuit pack in any of slots 1 to 4, an
I/O panel is required in slots 1 and 2 (left side) of the electrical interface
chassis.
— When installing a 63xE1 working circuit pack in any of slots 9 to 12, an
I/O panel is required in slots 3 and 4 (right side) of the electrical
interface chassis.
— The default impedance of the E1 interfaces is 75 ohm. Each 63xE1
working circuit pack is associated with two connectors on the I/O
panel. If 120 ohm interfaces are required, two 120 ohm converter
modules are required for each 63xE1 working circuit pack which
connect to the associated connectors in the I/O panel.

• Equipping rules for the E1 interface hardware in a 14-slot metro front

electrical shelf:
— When installing a 63xE1 working circuit pack in slot 1, an I/O module
is required in I/O slot 1 of the electrical interface chassis.
— You must install an I/O module with the correct impedance (75 ohm or
120 ohm). Select either a 75 ohm unprotected, 120 ohm unprotected,
75 ohm 1:N protected, or 120 ohm 1:N protected I/O panel as required.
— You must install a filler I/O module (NTK505XAE5) in all unused I/O
slots.

• Each 63xE1 working circuit pack in the 1:N protection requires an I/O
protection module installed in the I/O panel in the electrical interface
chassis of the 14-slot optical/front electrical or converged optical/front
electrical shelf as follows:
— For bank 1 (left I/O panel):
– I/O protection module 1 protects the 63xE1 circuit pack in slot 1
— For bank 2 (right I/O panel):
ATTENTION
I/O protection modules are not required for the 63xE1 working circuit pack in
a metro front electrical shelf.
• E1 electrical interface cables that terminate on the I/O panel in I/O slots 1
and 2 of the 14-slot optical/front electrical shelf or converged optical/front
electrical shelf or in I/O slots 1 to 4 of the metro front electrical shelf should
be routed on the left side of the bay. E1 electrical interface cables that
terminate on the I/O panel in I/O slots 3 and 4 of the optical/front electrical
shelf or converged optical/front electrical shelf or in I/O slots 9 to 12 of the
metro front electrical shelf should be routed on the right side of the bay.
• To help manage cable routing for E1 electrical interface cables, deploy
working circuit packs and I/O cabling starting from slots 1 and 12 and
working in towards the middle of the 14-slot shelf (for left hand side, deploy
slots 1, 2, 3, and then 4; for right hand side, deploy slots 12, 11, 10, and
then 9).

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 3: The 63xE1 protection circuit pack powers the protection sub-modules. The 37 W figure
includes the power required by one protection sub-module (9 W). A maximum of one protection
sub-module is powered at a given time.

E1 cable pinouts and assemblies

Cable assemblies
Each 63xE1 working circuit pack requires two E1 cable assemblies. The
following sections detail the pinouts and port mappings for the 75 ohm and
120 ohm cable assemblies. These cable assemblies can be ordered from
Ciena (see Planning - Ordering Information, 323-1851-151):
• Figure 1-4 on page 1-16 shows the 75 ohm cable assembly and connector
pinout.
Table 1-3 on page 1-17 shows the 75 ohm cable identification information.
The lower cable provides the receive interfaces, the upper cable provides
the transmit interfaces. For example, the coaxial cable connected to pins
75 and 100 is labeled as ‘RX-04’ (cable/port) in Table 1-3 on page 1-17.
This means that cable provides the receive interface for connector port 04.
• Figure 1-5 on page 1-18 shows the 120 ohm cable assembly and
connector pinout. The 120 ohm twisted pair cable assembly is constructed
with 26 AWG tinned copper solid conductors.
Table 1-4 on page 1-19 shows the cable identification information. The
lower cable provides the receive interfaces, the upper cable provides the
transmit interfaces. Each cable contains eight groups of four twisted pairs
identified by the wire colors as shown in Table 1-4 on page 1-19 (for
example, orange and orange/white pair are twisted pair 1). Group 1
provides the connector ports 1 to 4, group 2 provides connector ports 5 to
8,...., and group 8 provides connector ports 29 to 32.
For example, the twisted pair connected to pins 72 and 104 is labeled as
‘RX- 4’ (cable/group) and has a brown (signal +) and brown/white (signal -)
twisted pair. This means that the twisted pair provides the receive interface
contained in cable group 4 and is the twisted pair 4 in that group. Group 4
provides connector ports 13 to 16, so twisted pair 4 in group 4 is connector
port 16.
For details on the mapping of connector ports to the ports on the 63xE1 circuit
packs, see “E1 I/O panel, interface circuit pack, and connector port mapping”
on page 1-15.
Connectors
The user must terminate the free end of the cable assemblies with appropriate
connectors. For details of the connectors available for the 75 ohm cable
assemblies, see Planning - Ordering Information, 323-1851-151.

E1 I/O panel, interface circuit pack, and connector port mapping

Table 1-5 on page 1-20 and Table 1-6 on page 1-21 provide details of the
mapping of the ports on the interface connectors of the optical/front electrical
shelf to the ports on the 63xE1 circuit packs. These tables should be read in
conjunction with Table 1-3 on page 1-17 (75 ohm) or Table 1-4 on page 1-19
(120 ohm) to determine the coaxial cable/twisted pair allocation for each port
on each cable.
For the metro front electrical shelf, each 63xE1 circuit pack has an associated
I/O panel. The upper connector on the I/O panel provides interfaces for ports
1 to 32 and the bottom connector provides interfaces for ports 33 to 63 for the
associated 63xE1 circuit pack.

Overview
The 24xDS3/EC-1 working circuit pack supports up to 24 DS3 or EC-1
services.
DS3 signals can be mapped to LO_VC3 or HO_VC3 containers where the

mapping is independent of shelf mode (SDH or SONET) but is defined by the
type of cross-connect circuit packs used in the shelf:
• When HO cross-connect circuit packs are used in the shelf, you must only
use HO-VC3 mapping (except in the case when using the
240G+ STS-1/VC-3 (240/0G) (NTK557EAE5) cross-connect circuit pack,
where you can use either HO-VC3 or LO-VC3 mapping).
• When LO cross-connect circuit packs are used in the shelf, you can use
either HO-VC3 or LO-VC3 mapping.
The EC-1 signals support VT1.5 and STS-1 connections.
Figure 1-6 on page 1-23 shows the faceplate of a 24xDS3/EC-1 circuit pack.
Figure 1-7 on page 1-24 provides a functional block diagram of the
24xDS3/EC-1 working circuit pack and Figure 1-8 on page 1-25 provides a

Equipping rules
The following equipping rules apply to 24xDS3/EC-1 circuit packs:
• The 24xDS3/EC-1 circuit pack is a single slot interface.
• The 24xDS3/EC-1 circuit packs can be equipped in 14-slot optical/front
electrical shelf, 14-slot converged optical/front electrical shelf, optical/rear
electrical shelf, 14-slot converged optical/rear electrical shelf, or metro
front electrical shelf:
— 14-slot shelf supports equipment protection for the 24xDS3/EC-1
circuit packs in slots 1-4 and 9-12 using 1:N protection (N=1 to 4) in
two banks of 1:4. Each bank requires a 24xDS3/EC-1 protection circuit
pack. The 24xDS3/EC-1 protection circuit pack in slot 13 of a 14-slot
shelf type provides protection for the 24xDS3/EC-1 working circuit
packs in slots 1-4. The 24xDS3/EC-1 protection circuit pack in slot 14
of a 14-slot shelf type provides protection for the 24xDS3/EC-1
working circuit packs in slots 9-12. Unprotected or 1:N protected
24xDS3/EC-1 circuit packs require 48xDS3/EC-1 I/O panels. The I/O
modules provide input and output of electrical signals for traffic. The
I/O modules are removable and replaceable. For more information on
DS3/E3/EC-1 I/O interface modules, see “DS3/E3/EC-1 I/O panels
(NTK572CAE5 and NTK572QAE5)” on page 1-86.
— The 24xDS3/EC-1 working circuit packs can be installed in slots 5 and
6 of a metro front electrical shelf. A 24xDS3/EC-1 working circuit pack
in a metro front electrical shelf does not require a protection circuit
pack as only unprotected provisioning is supported on 24xDS3/EC-1
circuit packs in slots 5 and 6.

• The 24xDS3/EC-1 circuit packs are not supported in 2-slot, 7-slot, and
32-slot shelf types.
• To support the DS3/EC-1 circuit packs with EC1 facilities requiring VT1.5
cross-connects, the cross-connect circuits packs must support VT1.5
switching granularity.
• On 14-slot optical/front electrical or converged optical/front electrical
shelves, slots 1 to 4 cannot contain a mix of 63xE1 circuit packs with
24xDS3/EC-1 circuit packs using electrical interfaces. Similarly, slots 9 to
12 cannot contain a mix of 63xE1 circuit packs with 24xDS3/EC-1 circuit
packs using electrical interfaces. You can have 63xE1 circuit packs in slots
1 to 4 and 24xDS3/EC-1 circuit packs using electrical interfaces in slots 9
to 12, or vice versa.
• On 14-slot optical/front electrical, converged optical/front electrical
shelves, optical/rear electrical, and converged optical/rear electrical
shelves, you cannot mix DS3/EC-1 circuit packs and 10/100BT circuit
packs using the electrical interfaces in slot pairs (1 and 2, 3 and 4, 9 and
10, 11, and 12).
• Additional equipping rules for 24xDS3/EC-1 electrical interface circuit
packs when using 14-slot optical/front electrical shelf, converged
optical/front electrical shelf, and metro front electrical shelf assemblies in
a PTE2000-EEA rack:
— The PTE2000-EEA rack can support cables for a maximum of 192
DS3/EC-1 ports in optical/front electrical or converged optical/front
electrical shelves (equivalent to one optical/front electrical or
converged optical/front electrical shelf fully filled with eight
24xDS3/EC-1 working circuit packs).
— Between one or two optical/front electrical shelf or converged
optical/front electrical shelf assemblies, a maximum of four
24xDS3/EC-1 working circuit packs can be assigned to slots 1-4. The
metro front electrical shelf assemblies cannot support 24xDS3/EC-1
circuit packs in slots 1-4.
optical/front electrical shelf, a maximum of four 24xDS3/EC-1 working
circuit packs can be assigned to slots 9-12. The metro front electrical
shelf assemblies cannot support 24xDS3/EC-1 circuit packs in slots
9-12.
— The metro front electrical shelf assemblies can support up to two
24xDS3/EC-1 circuit packs in slots 5 and 6.

• The 24xDS3/EC-1 circuit packs require the appropriate I/O interface

hardware. For this release, the I/O interface hardware can be installed in
the electrical interface chassis of a 14-slot optical/front electrical shelf, a
converged optical/front electrical shelf, an optical/rear electrical shelf, or a
converged optical/rear electrical shelf (different hardware is required for
each shelf). This release supports four I/O panels on each shelf, each
panel supports up to 48 DS3/EC-1 interfaces (inputs and outputs).
• Equipping rules for the DS3/EC-1 interface hardware:
— When installing a 24xDS3/EC-1 circuit pack in slot 1 or 2, an I/O panel
is required in slot 1 of the electrical interface chassis of the 14-slot
optical/front electrical shelf, converged optical/front electrical shelf,
optical/rear electrical shelf, or converged optical/rear electrical shelf.
— When installing a 24xDS3/EC-1 circuit pack in slot 3 or 4, an I/O panel
— When installing a 24xDS3/EC-1 circuit pack in slot 9 or 10, an I/O
panel is required in slot 3 of the electrical interface chassis of the
14-slot optical/front electrical shelf, converged optical/front electrical
shelf, optical/rear electrical shelf, or converged optical/rear electrical
shelf.
— When installing a 24xDS3/EC-1 circuit pack in slot 11 or 12, an I/O
panel is required in slot 4 of the electrical interface chassis of the
14-slot optical/front electrical shelf, converged optical/front electrical
shelf, optical/rear electrical shelf, or converged optical/rear electrical
shelf.
• DS3/E3/EC1 electrical interface cables that terminate on the I/O panels in
I/O slots 1 and 2 should be routed on the left side of the bay. DS3/E3/EC1
electrical interface cables that terminate on the I/O panels in I/O slots 3
and 4 should be routed on the right side of the bay.
• To help manage cable routing for DS3/E3/EC1 electrical interface cables,
deploy working circuit packs and I/O cabling starting from slots 1 and 12
and working in towards the middle of the 14-slot shelf (for left hand side,
deploy slots 1, 2, 3, and then 4; for right hand side, deploy slots 12, 11, 10,

Overview
The 24xDS3/E3 working circuit pack supports up to 24 DS3, 24 E3, or 12 DS3
and 12 E3 services. The DS3/E3 signals can be mapped to LO_VC3 or
HO_VC3 containers where the mapping is independent of shelf mode (SDH
or SONET) but is defined by the type of cross-connect circuit packs used in
the shelf:
• When HO cross-connect circuit packs are used in the shelf, you must only
use HO-VC3 mapping (except in the case when using the
240G+ STS-1/VC-3 (240/0G) (NTK557EAE5) cross-connect circuit pack,
where you can use either HO-VC3 or LO-VC3 mapping).
• When LO cross-connect circuit packs are used in the shelf, you can use
either HO-VC3 or LO-VC3 mapping.

Equipping rules
The following equipping rules apply to 24xDS3/E3 circuit packs:
• The 24xDS3/E3 circuit pack is a single slot interface.
• The 24xDS3/E3 circuit packs can be equipped in 14-slot optical/front
electrical shelf, 14-slot converged optical/front electrical shelf, optical/rear
electrical shelf, 14-slot converged optical/rear electrical shelf, or metro
front electrical shelf:
— 14-slot shelf supports equipment protection for the 24xDS3/E3 circuit
packs in slots 1-4 and 9-12 using 1:N protection (N=1 to 4) in two
banks of 1:4. Each bank requires a 24xDS3/E3 protection circuit pack.
The 24xDS3/E3 protection circuit pack in slot 13 of a 14-slot shelf type
provides protection for the 24xDS3/E3 working circuit packs in slots
1-4. The 24xDS3/E3 protection circuit pack in slot 14 of a 14-slot shelf
type provides protection for the 24xDS3/E3 working circuit packs in
slots 9-12. Unprotected or 1:N protected 24xDS3/E3 circuit packs
require 48xDS3/E3 I/O panels. The I/O modules provide input and
output of electrical signals for traffic. The I/O modules are removable
and replaceable. For more information on DS3/E3/EC-1 I/O interface
modules, see “DS3/E3/EC-1 I/O panels (NTK572CAE5 and
NTK572QAE5)” on page 1-86.
— The 24xDS3/E3 working circuit packs can be installed in slots 5 and 6
of a metro front electrical shelf. A 24xDS3/E3 working circuit pack in a
metro front electrical shelf does not require a protection circuit pack as
only unprotected provisioning is supported on 24xDS3/E3 circuit
packs in slots 5 and 6.
• The 24xDS3/E3 circuit packs are not supported in 2-slot, 7-slot, and
24xDS3/E3 circuit packs using electrical interfaces. Similarly, slots 9 to 12
cannot contain a mix of 63xE1 circuit packs with 24xDS3/E3 circuit packs
using electrical interfaces. You can have 63xE1 circuit packs in slots 1 to
4 and 24xDS3/E3 circuit packs using electrical interfaces in slots 9 to 12,
or vice versa.
• On 14-slot optical/front electrical, converged optical/front electrical
shelves, optical/rear electrical, and converged optical/rear electrical
shelves, you cannot mix DS3/E3 circuit packs and 10/100BT circuit packs
using the electrical interfaces in slot pairs (1 and 2, 3 and 4, 9 and 10, 11
and 12).

• Additional equipping rules for 24xDS3/E3 electrical interface circuit packs

when using 14-slot optical/front electrical shelf, converged optical/front
electrical shelf, and metro front electrical shelf assemblies in a
PTE2000-EEA rack:
DS3/E3 ports in optical/front electrical or converged optical/front
converged optical/front electrical shelf fully filled with eight 24xDS3/E3
working circuit packs).
optical/front electrical shelf, a maximum of four 24xDS3/E3 working
shelf assemblies cannot support 24xDS3/E3 circuit packs in slots 1-4.
optical/front electrical shelf, a maximum of four 24xDS3/E3 working
shelf assemblies cannot support 24xDS3/E3 circuit packs in slots
9-12.
— The metro front electrical shelf assemblies can support up to two
24xDS3/E3, circuit packs in slots 5 and 6.
• The 24xDS3/E3 circuit packs require the appropriate I/O interface
hardware. For this release, the I/O interface hardware can be installed in
the electrical interface chassis of a 14-slot optical/front electrical shelf, a
converged optical/front electrical shelf, an optical/rear electrical shelf, or a
converged optical/rear electrical shelf (different hardware is required for
each shelf). This release supports four I/O panels on each shelf, each
panel supports up to 48 DS3/E3 interfaces (inputs and outputs).
• Equipping rules for the DS3/E3 interface hardware:
— When installing a 24xDS3/E3 circuit pack in slot 1 or 2, an I/O panel is
required in slot 1 of the electrical interface chassis of the 14-slot
— When installing a 24xDS3/E3 circuit pack in slot 3 or 4, an I/O panel is
required in slot 2 of the electrical interface chassis of the 14-slot

— When installing a 24xDS3/E3 circuit pack in slot 9 or 10, an I/O panel

— When installing a 24xDS3/E3 circuit pack in slot 11 or 12, an I/O panel
• DS3/E3/EC1 electrical interface cables that terminate on the I/O panels in
I/O slots 1 and 2 should be routed on the left side of the bay. DS3/E3/EC1
electrical interface cables that terminate on the I/O panels in I/O slots 3
and 4 should be routed on the right side of the bay.
• To help manage cable routing for DS3/E3/EC1 electrical interface cables,
deploy working circuit packs and I/O cabling starting from slots 1 and 12
and working in towards the middle of the 14-slot shelf (for left hand side,
deploy slots 1, 2, 3, and then 4; for right hand side, deploy slots 12, 11, 10,
and then 9).
• To support DS3 or E3 facilities with connections to LO-VC3 endpoints,
only the VT 1.5/VC-12 (NTK557NAE5, NTK557PAE5, NTK557QAE5,
NTK557TBE5, or NTK557GAE5) or the 240G+ STS-1/VC3 (240/0)
(NTK557EAE5) cross-connect circuit packs must be used.

DS1 service module (DSM) shelf (NTN407AA and NTN407AC)

Overview
The DS1 service module (DSM) is a peripheral shelf connected to a 14-slot or
32-slot network element. The DSM connects to the 6500 network element
through the OC-3 ports on a host 8xOC-3/12/STM-1/4, 16xOC-n/STM-n 5G
STS-1/HO SFP, or 16xOC-n/STM-n 5G VT1.5/LO SFP, 16xOC-n/STM-n 10G
STS-1/HO SFP, or 16xOC-n/STM-n 10G VT1.5/LO SFP circuit pack.
The DSM is a terminal DS1 multiplexer. The DSM has three I/O modules.
Each I/O module supports up to 28 DS1 facilities. The DSM has two
numbered slots for DSM 84xDS1 termination module (TM) circuit packs. The
DSM 84xDS1 TM circuit pack is an intermediate reach optical interface which
is compliant with the OC-3x4/STM-1x4 optical specifications and has been
developed for use in the DS1 service module (DSM). The DSM 84xDS1 TM
supports 84 DS1 facilities (see Figure 1-19 on page 1-61). For each DSM
84xDS1 TM, you need one OC-3 interface installed in the 14-slot or 32-slot
shelf.
The 14-slot or 32-slot shelf supports two variants of the DSM shelf kit:
• NTN407AA: This variant includes the DSM shelf (NTN407MA) and two
DSM 84xDS1 termination module (TM) circuit packs (NTN313AA) which
are adapterless. This variant is manufacture discontinued.
ATTENTION
For an unprotected DSM, you need one 84xDS1 TM circuit pack
(NTN313AA) and one DSM shelf (NTN407MA). The 84xDS1 TM circuit pack
(NTN313AA) is manufacture discontinued.
• NTN407AC: This variant includes the DSM shelf (NTN407MA) and two
DSM 84xDS1 termination module (TM) circuit packs (NTN313AC) which
have LC connectors.
ATTENTION
For an unprotected DSM, you need one 84xDS1 TM circuit pack
(NTN313AC) and one DSM shelf (NTN407MA).
Figure 1-17 on page 1-59 and Figure 1-18 on page 1-60 show the faceplate
of a DSM. Figure 1-19 on page 1-61 shows DS1 service module (front cover

The DSM shelf (NTN407AA or NTN407AC) provides the following
functionality.
• connects to the OC-3 ports on the 14-slot or 32-slot shelf using either one
(unprotected) or two (1+1/MSP linear protected) OC-3 optical interfaces.
The OC-3/STM-1 ports must be configured in the SONET mode (OC3
facility) to support a DSM.
• DSM 84xDS1 termination module protection switching is 1+1
non-revertive. If a working DSM 84xDS1 TM becomes defective, the traffic
is switched to the protection DSM 84xDS1 TM. Switching can also take
place under user control.
• DSM 84xDS1 TM circuit packs support up to 84 DS1 facilities. The two
circuit packs provide 1+1 protection.
• it is recommended to use the DS1 right-angle cable assembly with the
DSM shelf.
The DSM supports the following cross-connection types:
The DSM supports the following cross-connection rates:
• VT1.5 (low order)
• STS1 (high order)
The 14-slot shelf supports both low and high order DSM, depending on the
cross-connect circuit pack type and/or host circuit pack. Refer to Table 1-14
on page 1-64 for details.
The 32-slot shelf supports only high order DSM.

Table 1-14
Supported DSM types

circuit pack type circuit pack type (Note 1)
Low order Low order Low order (Note 2)
Low order High order High order (Note 3)
High order Low order High order (Note 3)
High order High order High order (Note 3)
Note 1: Once a DSM has been provisioned as High Order or Low Order, it can only
be changed by deleting the DSM and re-adding it with different host or cross-connect
circuit packs. Reconfiguring a host or cross-connect circuit pack will not cause the
DSM type to change.
Note 2: Low order DSM circuit packs refers to the ability to provision VT1.5/VC11
connections on the DSM.
Note 3: High order DSM circuit packs refers to the ability to provision STS1/VC3
connections on the DSM.
The DSM supports the following monitored entities:
• PM collection of SONET line (L) for DS1 facilities
• PM collection of SONET path (P) for DS1 facilities
• PM collection of PDH DS1 Line (PPI) and Path (P) for DS1 facilities

Equipping rules
The following equipping rules apply to DSM shelf and DSM 84xDS1 TM circuit
packs:
DSM shelf
• The DSM is an external shelf.
• The DSM shelf is supported with 14-slot and 32-slot shelf types. A 14-slot
or 32-slot shelf supports up to 20 protected or unprotected DSMs. DSM
shelf is not supported with 2-slot and 7-slot shelf type.
• Up to eight DSM shelves can be deployed in one bay as follows:
— Up to eight DSM shelves can be deployed without any 6500 shelves in
one bay.
— Up to seven DSM shelves can be deployed with one 14-slot optical or
converged optical shelf in one bay.
— Up to three DSM shelves can be deployed with two 14-slot optical or
converged optical shelves in one bay.
— Up to seven DSM shelves can be deployed with one 14-slot
optical/rear electrical or converged optical/rear electrical shelf in one
bay.
— Up to five DSM shelves can be deployed with two 14-slot optical/rear
electrical or converged optical/rear electrical shelves NTK503CA in
one bay.
— Up to five DSM shelves can be deployed with one 14-slot optical/front
electrical shelf, converged optical/front electrical shelf, or metro front
electrical shelf in one bay.
See Figure 1-21 on page 1-70 to Figure 1-24 on page 1-73 for examples
on DSM configurations.

• Equipping rules for DSM shelf assemblies in a PTE2000-EEA rack:

— A maximum of five DSM shelf assemblies can be installed in a
PTE2000-EEA rack when deploying 14-slot optical, converged optical,
optical/rear electrical, or converged optical/rear electrical shelf
assemblies in the same rack.
— A maximum of three DSM shelf assemblies can be installed in a
PTE2000-EEA rack when deploying a 14-slot optical/front electrical
shelf, converged optical/front electrical shelf, or metro front electrical
shelf assembly in the same rack due to the rules for E1, DS3/EC1/E3,
and/or 10/100BT cabling (see “Equipping rules” on page 1-7 for E1,
“Equipping rules” on page 1-29 and “Equipping rules” on page 1-41 for
DS3/EC1/E3). When deploying DSM shelf assemblies with a 14-slot
optical/front electrical shelf, converged optical/front electrical shelf, or
metro front electrical shelf assembly in a PTE2000-EEA rack, all the
DSM cabling must be routed to one side of the rack (opposite side to
E1, DS3/EC1/E3, or 10/100BT cabling).
— A maximum of three DSM shelf assemblies can be installed in a
PTE2000-EEA rack when deploying a 14-slot optical/front electrical or
converged optical/front electrical shelf assembly in the same rack due
to the rules for STM-1e cabling (see “Equipping rules” on page 1-54 for
STM-1e). When deploying DSM shelf assemblies with a 14-slot
optical/front or converged optical/front shelf assembly in a
PTE2000-EEA rack, all the DSM cabling must be routed to one side of
the rack (opposite side to STM-1e cabling).
• When deploying DSMs, either:
— A separate DSM BIP is required to power the DSM shelves (you
cannot power the DSM shelves from a 6500 BIP or power the 14-slot
shelves from a DSM BIP);
or
— Or the 1U BIP/FIP (NTK599DA/EA) can be used to power up to eight
DSM shelves or one 14-slot shelf and up to seven DSM shelves in a
single bay (no access panel to BIP external alarm functionality
available).
• DSM 84xDS1 shelf is not supported in 2-slot and 7-slot shelf type.

DSM 84xDS1 TM circuit packs

DSM 84xDS1 circuit pack is equipped in a DSM shelf as follows:
• For a DSM with an unprotected DSM 84xDS1 TM circuit pack, the DSM
84xDS1 TM circuit pack must be installed in slot 1 of the DSM shelf.
• For a DSM with a protected DSM 84xDS1 TM circuit pack, the DSM
84xDS1 TM circuit packs must be installed in both slots 1 and 2 of the
DSM shelf. The DSM is automatically configured for 1+1 protection of the
84xDS1 TM circuit packs if they are installed in slots 1 and 2 of the DSM
shelf.
• For a protected DSM, the 84xDS1 TM circuit pack in the odd slot on the
DSM shelf must be provisioned on the OC-3 facility in the odd slot on the
6500 shelf. The 84xDS1 TM circuit pack in the even slot on the DSM shelf
must be provisioned on the OC-3 facility, with the same port number, in the
next higher even slot on the 6500 shelf.
• For unprotected DSM, the 84xDS1 TM circuit pack must be in the odd slot
on the DSM shelf. It can be provisioned on an OC-3 facility in either an odd
slot or an even slot on the 6500 shelf.
• In order for an OC-3 facility to have a DSM provisioned on it, it must not
have any cross-connections, synchronization references, SDCC/LDCC
provisioning or protection provisioned.

Overview
E1 I/O modules - 14-slot optical/front electrical and converged
optical/front electrical shelves
I/O panels in the electrical interface chassis of the 14-slot optical/front
electrical and converged optical/front electrical shelves provide the electrical
interfaces for the 63xE1 circuit packs (see Figure 1-37 on page 1-93 for
hardware locations). Each I/O panel supports 252 E1 inputs/outputs. The
electrical interface chassis contains four slots for mounting the I/O panels, two
for each I/O panel:
• The I/O panel connected to slots 1 and 2 in the electrical interface chassis
supports the 63xE1 working circuit packs in slots 1-4.
• The I/O panel connected to slots 3 and 4 in the electrical interface chassis
supports the 63xE1 working circuit packs in slots 9-12.
Alignment pins on the backplane and an insertion/ejector bar on the I/O

panels aid alignment during installation of the I/O modules.
Each I/O panel has eight 32-port 75 ohm connectors. 75 ohm cable
assemblies, each containing 2x32 coaxial cables, fit directly to the connectors
on the I/O panel. The 6500 supports the following variant of the E1 I/O module
for 14-slot optical/front electrical or converged optical/front electrical shelf:
252xE1 Front 75/120 ohm I/O Panel (1:N or unprotected); NTK571CAE5.
Figure 1-27 on page 1-81 shows the layout of an I/O panel. Figure 1-28 on

Procedure 1-5
Changing the protection scheme for electrical
equipment
Use this procedure to change the protection scheme for 63xE1,
24xDS3/EC-1, 24xDS3/E3, or 16xSTM-1e electrical circuit packs:
• from unprotected to 1:N
• from 1:N to unprotected
The DSM 84xDS1 TM are automatically provisioned for 1+1 equipment

protection if a protection module is present in slot 2 of the DSM. You cannot
manually change the 1+1 protection mode.
6500 supports equipment protection for the 63xE1, 24xDS3/EC-1,

24xDS3/E3, and 16xSTM-1e circuit packs in a 1:N scheme and revertive
mode.
The two banks of 1:4 protection are provided by:

• 63xE1, 24xDS3/EC-1, 24xDS3/E3, or 16xSTM-1e working circuit packs in
slots 1 to 4 and a protection circuit pack in slot 13
• 63xE1, 24xDS3/EC-1, 24xDS3/E3, or 16xSTM-1e working circuit packs in
slots 9 to 12 and a protection circuit pack in slot 14
The metro front electrical shelf supports the 24xDS3/EC-1 and 24xDS3/E3
circuit packs in slots 5 and 6. However, only unprotected provisioning is
supported.
In the 1:N protection, the protection switch moves all of the traffic on a working
circuit pack to the protection circuit pack, enabling the faulty working circuit
pack to be replaced with minimal effect on traffic.
For each 63xE1 working circuit pack in the 1:N protection configuration in the
optical/front electrical shelf and converged optical/front electrical shelf, you
must install an I/O protection module in the appropriate slot in the associated
E1 I/O panel. For example, if slots 1 and 2 contain 63xE1 working circuit
packs, you must install I/O protection modules in slots 1 and 2 of the bank 1
(left) I/O panel.


Changing the protection scheme for electrical equipment
You cannot change the protection scheme to 1:N for E1, DS3E3EC1, or
155ME equipment if:
• Auto-equipping is on for the selected slot and the protection slot is already
provisioned with another circuit pack type (not a 63xE1 protection circuit
pack for E1 protection, a 24xDS3/EC-1 protection circuit pack for
DS3/EC-1 protection, a 24xDS3/E3 protection circuit pack for DS3/E3
protection, or a 16xSTM-1e protection circuit pack for STM-1e protection).
If auto-equipping is on and the protection slot does not contain a
provisioned circuit pack, an E1P, DS3E3EC1P, or 155MEP equipment is
auto-provisioned when the protection scheme is set to 1:N.
• Auto-equipping is off and the protection slot does not contain a 63xE1,
24xDS3/EC-1, 24xDS3/E3, or 16xSTM-1e protection circuit pack. You
must provision an E1P, DS3E3EC1P, or 155MEP equipment in the correct
protection slot before changing the protection scheme.
Prerequisites
• ensure that:
— you have provisioned an E1P, DS3E3EC1P, or 155MEP equipment in
the correct protection slot
or
— if auto-equipping is on, the protection slot does not contain any circuit
pack or contains the correct circuit pack
• ensure there are no facilities provisioned on the equipment in the
protection slot
• use an account with a level 3 or higher UPC
CAUTION
Risk of affecting traffic
If you are changing the protection scheme to unprotected while
the traffic is on the protection circuit pack, this will cause a
protection switch and traffic may be affected.

Changing the protection parameters for electrical
equipment
Use this procedure to change the following protection parameters for 63xE1,
24xDS3/EC-1, 24xDS3/E3, or 16xSTM-1e electrical circuit packs:
• priority (low or high) – a circuit pack assigned a high priority takes
precedence over a circuit pack assigned a low priority; default is low
• wait to restore time (0 to 12 minutes or Infinite) – the time to elapse before
traffic is switched back to the working equipment after the original fault
causing the automatic switch has cleared; default is 5 minutes
The DSM 84xDS1 TM are automatically provisioned for 1+1 equipment

protection if a protection module is present in slot 2 of the DSM. You cannot
manually change the protection parameters for 84xDS1 TMs.
Prerequisites

Procedure 1-10
Provisioning a DSM 84xDS1 TM automatically
Use this procedure to automatically provision a DSM DS1x84 TM.
If automatic equipping is enabled on a host OC3 facility that meets the DCC
requirements, a DSM is automatically provisioned when the optical fibers are
connected between the host OC3 port on the 6500 shelf and the OC3 port of
the 84xDS1 TM circuit pack in the DSM shelf.
CAUTION
Risk of service interruption
When the optical fibers are connected between the host OC3
port on the 6500 shelf and the OC3 port of the 84xDS1 TM
circuit pack in the DSM shelf, some of the DS1TM equipment
are not auto-provisioned during the bulk provisioning of all 32
DS1TM circuit packs. You must compare the DS1TM inventory
and equipment data and restart the DS1TM equipment that
was not auto-provisioned. It is recommended to perform the
DS1TM auto-provisioning one after another or to first provision
host OC3 facilities for DSM and then connect the DS1TMs.
To enable automatic equipping, refer to the “Enabling/disabling slot-based

automatic equipping” procedure in Administration and Security,
323-1851-301.
No DS1 facilities are provisioned when the DSM is auto-provisioned.
A Site Provisioning Required alarm is raised when the DSM auto-provisions.

To clear the alarm, edit the DSM site address (see Procedure 1-11, Defining
or editing a site address for a DSM on page 1-140).
If provisioning:
• an unprotected DSM 84xDS1 TM, the working host OC3 facility can be in
any odd or even slot.
• 1+1 protected DSM 84xDS1 TMs, the working host OC3 facility must be
in an odd slot and the protection host OC3 facility in the adjacent even slot
(same port number) to the right of the working host OC3 facility. For
example, working host OC3 facility in slot 3 port 2 and the protection OC3
facility in slot 4 port 2.
It is recommended that the working DSM 84xDS1 TM circuit pack is

auto-provisioned before the protection DSM 84xDS1 TM circuit pack.


The host OC3 facility must:

• have the DSM OAM link enabled. Refer to DSM OAM Link parameters on
page 1-159 for more information.
• be on a VT1.5/low order (LO) or a STS-1/high order (HO)
8xOC-3/12/STM-1/4 or 16xOC-n/STM-n 10G circuit pack.
The provisioned DSM will be LO DSM only if both the host circuit pack
(8xOC-3/12/STM-1/4 or 16xOC-n/STM-n 10G) and the XC circuit pack are
LO. Only VT1.5 connections are allowed on LO DSM.
The provisioned DSM will be HO DSM if the host circuit pack

(8xOC-3/12/STM-1/4 or 16xOC-n/STM-n 10G) or the XC circuit pack is HO.
Only STS1 connections are allowed on HO DSM.
Prerequisites
To perform this procedure, you must use an account with a level 3 or higher
UPC.
Step Action
1 Ensure that for the working host OC3 facility and the protection host OC3
facility (if applicable):
• The host OC3 facility is provisioned on a VT1.5/low order or STS-1/high
order 8xOC-3/12/STM-1/4 or 16xOC-n/STM-n 10G circuit pack. Refer to
the “Retrieving equipment and facility details” and “Adding a facility to an
equipment” procedures in Part 1 of Configuration - Provisioning and
Operating, 323-1851-310.
• There are no connections provisioned on the host OC3 facility. Refer to
the “Retrieving path connections” procedure in Part 1 of Configuration -
Bandwidth and Data Services, 323-1851-320.
• The host OC3 facility is not provisioned as a shelf timing reference. Refer
to the “Retrieving synchronization data for a network element” procedure
in Part 2 of Configuration - Provisioning and Operating, 323-1851-310.
• The host OC3 facility is not a member of a facility protection group pair.
Refer to the “Retrieving protection parameters” procedure in Part 2 of
Configuration - Provisioning and Operating, 323-1851-310.
• Auto-provisioning is enabled for the host OC3 slot. To enable automatic
equipping, refer to the “Enabling/disabling slot-based automatic
equipping” procedure in Administration and Security, 323-1851-301.
• The host OC3 has a DSM OAM Link enabled (correct DCC and IISIS
parameters). See Procedure 1-9, Editing the DSM OAM link setting on
page 1-136 and DSM OAM Link parameters on page 1-159.


Step Action
• DS1TM circuit packs must be provisioned only under the host OC3
facilities with default SONET parameters;
Signal mode = SONET
Automatic laser shutdown= disabled
DUS override= disabled
All these parameters must not be edited until DS1TM circuit pack is
deprovisioned.
2 Connect the optical fibers between the host OC3 port(s) on the 6500 shelf
and the OC3 port(s) on the 84xDS1 TM(s) on the DSM as follows:
• Connect the working optical fiber between the working host OC3 facility
and the OC3 port on the working 84xDS1 TM in slot 1 of the DSM.
• For 1+1 protected 84xDS1 TMs (if applicable), connect the protection
optical fiber between the protection host OC3 facility in the even slot and
the OC3 port on the protection 84xDS1 TM in slot 2 of the DSM.
It is recommended that the working DSM 84xDS1 TM circuit pack is
auto-provisioned before the protection DSM 84xDS1 TM circuit pack.
The 84xDS1TM circuit pack(s) and the 84xDS1 TM OC3 port(s) are
automatically provisioned with the same primary state as the host circuit
pack. No DS1 facilities are created.
A Site Provisioning Required alarm is raised.
3 Wait at least 20 seconds before you perform any further auto-provisioning.
The network element requires 20 seconds to auto-provision the DSM. If you
do not wait, a temporary Circuit Pack Failed alarm will be raised.
4 Edit the DSM site address (see Procedure 1-11, Defining or editing a site
address for a DSM on page 1-140).
The Site Provisioning Required alarm is cleared.

Procedure 1-11
Defining or editing a site address for a DSM
Use this procedure to define or edit a site address for a DSM. After a working
DSM 84xDS1 TM auto-provisions, the DSM site address must be manually
provisioned. Until the site address has been defined, the DSM is not in a
working state and the Site Provisioning Required alarm is raised.
Once you define a DSM site address, you can edit it but you cannot delete it.
If a DSM is connected to a host OC3 port that is a member of a facility

protection group, the DSM will not provision. Furthermore, an
Autoprovisioning Mismatch alarm will not be raised.

TMUX circuit pack (NTK558DAE5)

Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the 6500 Packet-Optical Platform (6500)
TMUX circuit packs and their associated procedures.
The 48 Channel Trans Mux (Portless) circuit pack (also known as TMUX)
provides access to DS1/E1 signals within channelized DS3/E3 signals and
can be used in digital cross-connect applications to interconnect co-located
tier 2 equipment.
The 48 Channel Trans Mux (Portless) circuit pack can process up to 5G of

traffic which can be considered as 48 STS1/VC3 high speed ports and 48
VT1.5/VT2 managed STS1/VC3 low speed ports which are internally
connected. The high speed ports connect STS-1s/VC3s containing DS3/E3s
and the low speed ports connect VT1.5s/VT2s containing DS1s/E1s.
Up to 2.5G of STS1/VC3 (DS3) can be demultiplexed into DS1s and/or E1s

and sent out as VT1.5/VC11 and/or VT1.5/VC12 traffic and up to 2.5G of
VT1.5/VC11 or VT2/VC12 (DS1s and/or E1s) can be multiplexed into DS3s
and sent out as STS1/VC3 (DS3).
Up to 2.5G of STS1/VC3 (E3) can be demultiplexed into E1s and sent out as
VT2/VC12 traffic and up to 2.5G of VT2/VC12 (E1) can be multiplexed into
E3s and sent out as STS1/VC3 (E3).
The VT2s/VC12s can originate from any valid source that supports a
VT2/VC12 with embedded E1 (for example, any circuit pack with an E1 facility
or a VT2/VC12 optical interface circuit pack). The VT1.5s/VC11s can originate
from any valid source that supports a VT1.5/VC11 with embedded DS1 (for
example, any circuit pack with a DS1 facility or a VT1.5/VC11 optical interface
circuit pack). The STS1/VC3 containing the DS3/E3 can go to any valid source

2-2 48 Channel Trans Mux (Portless) circuit pack
that supports an STS1/VC3 with embedded, non-terminated DS3/E3 (for

example, any circuit pack which supports non-terminated DS3/E3 facilities or
an optical interface circuit pack).
Figure 2-1 on page 2-2 shows the faceplate of a TMUX circuit pack and
Figure 2-2 on page 2-3 provides a functional block diagram of the TMUX
circuit pack.

The TMUX circuit pack (NTK558DAE5) provides the following functionality.
• supports 5G of traffic which can be considered as 48 DS3/E3 high speed
ports and a combination of up to 48 x 28 DS1 or 48 x 21 E1 low speed
ports.
— a DS3 high speed port is demultiplexed into 7 DS2 timeslots, each of
which contains either 4 DS1 signals or 3 E1 signals, which are output
on the corresponding low speed port. Conversely the DS1 or E1
signals are multiplexed into the DS2 timeslots into the DS3 signal.
— an E3 high speed port is demultiplexed into 4 E2 timeslots, each of
which contains 4 E1 signals, which are output on the corresponding
low speed port. Conversely the E1 signals are multiplexed into the E2
timeslots into the E3 signal.
• auto and manual provisioning of circuit packs
• for a port that is VT managed
— multiplexing/demultiplexing between VT1.5/VC11 and STS1/VC3
ports (VT1.5/VC11 <-> DS1 <-> DS3 <-> STS1/VC3)
— multiplexing/demultiplexing between VT2/VC12 and STS1/VC3 ports
(VT2/VC12 <-> E1 <-> DS3 <-> STS1/VC3) and

• support for asynchronous (M13) and C-BIT DS3 signals
• support for superframe (SF), extended superframe (ESF), superframe
with TR-08 extensions (SFTR-08), and unframed DS1 signals

• terminates and inserts SONET STS1/VT and SDH VC3/VC12/VC11 path

overhead
• supports unprotected and 1+1 equipment protection. 1+1 protection
requires two TMUX circuit packs to be provisioned adjacent to each other
(slots 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 9/10, 11/12, and 13/14 in a 14-slot shelf). The working
TMUX circuit pack is the odd numbered slot and the protection TMUX
circuit pack is the even numbered slot to the right of the working TMUX
circuit pack.
The TMUX circuit pack supports the following cross-connection types:
The TMUX circuit pack supports the following cross-connection rates:
• STS1/AU3 mapped VC3/AU4 mapped VC3 (for high-speed side)
• VT1.5/VC11 and VT2/VC12 (for low-speed side)
The TMUX circuit pack supports the following monitored entities:
• PM collection of PDH DS1 and DS3 Path for DS1DS3 and DS3 facilities

Equipping rules
The following equipping rules apply to TMUX circuit pack:
• The TMUX circuit pack is a portless single-slot interface.
• Can be installed in slots 1-6 and 9-14 of a 14-slot shelf type. The TMUX
circuit pack can be installed in any of these 12 slots in 14-slot shelf types
but some of these slots are required for the interface circuit packs (to
provide bandwidth).
ATTENTION
You must plan the bandwidth usage to determine the number of TMUX circuit
packs required.
ATTENTION
TMUX circuit pack is not supported on a 14-slot packet-optical shelf
(NTK503SA) since it requires the use of X-CONN 80G/80G VT-1.5/VC-12
(80/80) (NTK557NAE5), X-CONN 80G/20G VT-1.5/VC-12 (80/20)
(NTK557PAE5), or X-CONN 20G/20G VT-1.5/VC-12 (20/20)
(NTK557QAE5) circuit packs that are not supported in a 14-slot
packet-optical shelf.
• The TMUX circuit pack cannot be installed in 6500-7 packet-optical, 2-slot,

7-slot, and 32-slot shelf types.
• The TMUX circuit pack requires low-order (VT1.5/VC12) cross-connect
circuit packs as both STS-1 and VT1.5 cross-connects are required. In a
14-slot shelf type, the TMUX circuit pack is not supported when using the
MXC (NTK557TBE5) or the 240G+/80G VT1.5/VC12 (240/80)
cross-connect circuit pack.

Note: 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.

Provisioning rules summary for the 48 Channel Trans Mux (Portless)

circuit pack
• The Trans Mux circuit pack has 48 high-speed ports and 48 low-speed
ports which are internally connected. All the DS1s or E1s on a low-speed
port connect to the corresponding high-speed port.
• The DS1, DS3, E1, and E3 facilities on the Trans Mux circuit pack are
independent from associated DS1, DS3, E1, and E3 facilities that may
exists on other circuit packs. If an associated facility exists, parameters on
the Trans Mux circuit pack and the associated facility must match. For
example, if a DS3 facility exists on a DS3/E3 circuit pack that is connected
to a high-speed port on the Trans Mux circuit pack, the user must set the
parameters the same on both facilities.
• Facilities can only be provisioned on unprotected Trans Mux circuit packs
or the working Trans Mux circuit pack in a 1+1 protected configuration. If
a 1+1 protection pair is changed to unprotected, the Trans Mux circuit pack
in the odd slot retains the provisioned facilities and cross-connects and the
Trans Mux circuit pack in the even slot becomes unprotected with no
facilities or cross-connects provisioned.

Procedure 2-2
Changing the protection scheme for electrical
equipment
Use this procedure to change the protection scheme for 48 Channel Trans
Mux (Portless) electrical circuit packs:
• from unprotected to 1+1
• from 1+1 to unprotected
6500 supports 1+1 equipment protection for the 48 Channel Trans Mux
(Portless) circuit pack in a non-revertive mode. In the 1+1 protection, the
protection switch moves all of the traffic on a working 48 Channel Trans Mux
(Portless) circuit pack to the protection 48 Channel Trans Mux (Portless) TM
circuit pack, enabling the faulty working circuit pack to be replaced with
minimal effect on traffic.
The 1+1 equipment protection scheme on 48 Channel Trans Mux (Portless)

circuit packs requires two 48 Channel Trans Mux (Portless) be provisioned
adjacent to one another with the odd numbered slot being the working circuit
pack and the even numbered slot being the protection circuit pack.
When you select the 1+1 protection scheme for a working circuit pack:
• if auto-equipping is enabled, the protection circuit pack automatically
provisions (if not already provisioned). If a different circuit pack is
provisioned in the protection slot, the system rejects the 1+1 provisioning.
• if auto-equipping is disabled, the system rejects the 1+1 provisioning if a
protection circuit pack is not provisioned. You must provision the
protection circuit pack before selecting the 1+1 protection on the working
circuit pack.
You cannot change the protection scheme to 1+1 if there are facilities
provisioned on the equipment in the protection slot.
Prerequisites
• ensure that you have provisioned a TMUX equipment in the correct
protection slot or if auto-equipping is on, the protection slot does not
contain any circuit pack or contains the correct circuit pack
• there are no facilities provisioned on the equipment in the protection slot


Step Action

3 Select the electrical equipment type (TMUX) from the Type and the
appropriate shelf from the Shelf drop-down lists.
6 Select the radio button of the new protection scheme (Unprotected or 1+1).

Procedure 2-3
Adding a facility to a TMUX equipment
Use this procedure to:
• add a facility that was manually deleted
• add DS3, DS1DS3, E1DS3, E3, or E1E3 facilities
A DS1DS3 facility is a DS1 channel within a DS3 facility. An E1DS3 facility is

an E1 channel within a DS3 facility. And an E1E3 facility is an E1 channel
within an E3 facility.
Multiple add is supported on DS3, DS1DS3, E1DS3, E3, or E1E3 facilities.
In TMUX equipment, the high speed facilities must be provisioned before low
speed facilities. You must provision the DS3 facility first, and specify whether
it is optimized for DS1’s or E1’s within it. Only then, you will be able to provision
the DS1DS3 and E1DS3 facilities.

Equipment and facility provisioning parameters

Equipment and facility primary and secondary states
Table 2-4 on page 2-26 to Table 2-6 on page 2-27 provide information on
equipment and facility primary and secondary states.
Table 2-4
Equipment and facility primary states
Primary State Description
IS In-service; no failure detected
IS-ANR In-service - abnormal; failure exists but entity is still capable of performing
some of its provisioned functions (that is partial failure)

Fault detected Facility failure detected
Supporting entity Supporting equipment:

outage • has a failure, or
• is missing, or
• is mismatched, or
• has an associated connection which is failed.
Loopback active Loopback active on facility
Auto in-service AINS is enabled.
Maintenance State Maintenance State is enabled. When in Maintenance State, a facility continues to
carry traffic if it can, but does not raise alarms, SNMP traps or Performance
Monitoring Threshold Crossing Alerts (PM TCAs).
Applies to facilities that support maintenance state. Maintenance state is applicable
to these facilities only if they are in out-of-service state.

T1ONLY means that only DS1 channels
within the DS3 will have full framing and
monitoring capability, E1 channels cannot
be provisioned within the DS3 facility.
Note: T1ONLY is the default value for DS3 facility of a TMUX equipment when the Trans Mux circuit
pack is upgraded from pre-R4.0/4.01 to R4.0/4.01. In this case, DS1 facilities are only allowed to be
muxed within the DS3. If you want to carry a mixture of DS1 and E1 channels, you must change the
channel type parameter from T1ONLY to T1 and it results in a small hit on traffic carried by the DS3 (less
than 50 ms). T1ONLY cannot be selected when a new DS3 facility is created in R4.0/4.01 for a TMUX
equipment.
