System Security
2.04 This section describes the security measures available on the mTera UTP.

EMS User Level Security • Account Inactivity Policy - The date and time of the user’s last
successful login and the number of unsuccessful login attempts since
the last successful login are reported. You can configure the account
inactivity threshold on user accounts.

• Password Reuse Policy - You can configure the amount of time a user
needs to wait before reusing a password.

• Password Expiration Reminder - You can configure the amount of time


prior to password expiration that the system sends an expiration
notice.

• Password Complexity Policy - If the system administrator enforces


password complexity, the password can be between 8 and 12
characters long. The password must not include more than 2
consecutive repetitions of the same characters, and the password
must not contain the user ID. At least 3 of the 4 following character
types must be present: number character, lowercase alphabetical
character, uppercase alphabetical character, and special character (!
# $ % & @ ^ *).

If the system administrator does not enforce password complexity, the


password can be between 6 and 12 characters long using any
alphabetical character, number character, or special character, with
no restriction on upper case or character repetition.
• Simultaneous Sessions Policy - Configures the number of
simultaneous sessions a new or existing user can access.

76.MTFP50/5 Page 7 Rev C, July 2018


System Specifications 2. General System Specifications

• Login Failure - Security events are generated if an invalid login due to


invalid user name or invalid password occurs, a lockout of a user
account occurs because the number of unsuccessful login attempts to
the EMS exceeds the system defined threshold, or a user
unsuccessfully tries to log in to a locked account.

TL1 Security • Inactivity Policy - An inactivity report threshold for user accounts on an
NE and an inactivity disabled threshold value for user accounts are
configurable.

• Password Complexity Policy - The minimum password length is eight


characters, a password cannot contain more than two consecutive
repetitions of a character, password does not contain user ID as a
substring, and password must contain at least three of the four
character types: numeric character, lowercase alphabetical character,
uppercase alphabetical character, special character.

• Password Count - This feature allows the system administrator to


prevent the reuse of passwords.

• Account Lockout - This feature allows the system administrator to


lockout a user after a specified number of invalid login attempts and to
specify the duration of the lockout.

Security Profile Management Security Profile Management - A user with the correct security profile can
set default values for entity creation.

NE Security NEs do not store passwords in clear text. The mTera NE uses encryption
or hashing for storage.
System administrators can perform the following actions:
• Change an NE password remotely through the management
system.
• Define the complexity of a password.
• The minimum password length is six characters if password
complexity is not enforced, and eight characters if password
complexity is enforced. If using the password complexity feature,
a password cannot contain more than two consecutive repetitions
of a character. At least three of the four following character types
must be present: numeric character, lowercase alphabetical
character, uppercase alphabetical character, special character.
• Create a new user that can only access a single network element.
There can be 500 unique user accounts on a single NE.
mTera NEs generate a security alert when either unauthorized users or
users with incorrect passwords attempt to access the NE.
The account inactivity policy provides the following security:
• Via the ACT-USER command, the NE lists the date and time of the
user’s last successful login and the number of unsuccessful login
attempts since the last successful login. The system displays a
message at the user’s first successful login.

76.MTFP50/5 Page 8 Rev C, July 2018


System Specifications 2. General System Specifications

• The ED-SECU-SYS command configures an inactivity report


threshold (IRT) for user accounts. Security events are generated
if a user has logged off of their account for an amount of time that
exceeds the inactivity threshold.
• The ED-SECU-SYS command configures an inactivity disable
threshold (IDT) for user accounts.
• The RTRV-USER-SECU command lists the user accounts that
are disabled, as well as the inactivity report threshold value and
the inactivity disabled threshold values for user accounts.

Maintenance Features
2.05 The mTera UTP provides module redundancy, fault isolation, test ports,
and performance monitoring.

SNMP NBI The SNMP Northbound Interface provides a mediation layer over the 7190
EMS to support SNMP-based network management. This allows
SNMP-based management systems to manage telecommunication
equipment operating the 7190 EMS interface via a SNMP communication
link.
The SNMP mediation layer converts SNMP requests into corresponding
commands that are forwarded to the 7190 EMS. Responses from the 7190
EMS are converted to SNMP format and sent to the SNMP Manager.
Alarms and events set on NEs and on the 7190 EMS are converted to
SNMP notifications and sent via the EMS to configured northbound
managers. This feature supports SNMP protocol versions v1, v2, v2c, and
v3.

Enhanced Real-Time TL1 Alarm integration with operations support systems (OSS) enables service
Alarm Forwarding providers to survey, isolate faults, and manage fault restoration from a
common platform. The message-forwarding interface available over the
data communications network (DCN) is a direct OSS to mTera NE
interface, which is also used for user management and provisioning (refer
to Data Communications Network Interface, page 26)
You can upgrade TL1 alarm forwarding features without impacting other
processes.

Fault Isolation Circuit paths are continuously monitored for failure. Using manual
diagnostics, you can localize a fault to two modules and the cable between
them.

FTP Sessions
2.06 An FTP client on the NE is used for software upgrade and database
backup. There are eight simultaneous FTP sessions available through a single
GNE. Stagger the downloads if there are more than eight NEs on a single gateway
network element (GNE).

Environmental Specifications
2.07 The mTera UTP is designed to meet both NEBS and ETSI standards for
the following environmental specifications:
• Environmental Operational Ranges, Table 2.2, page 10

mTera Shelf Power Zones


3.03 The mTera Shelf contains three power zones.

Note: Two STPMs are required for redundancy. The common modules in slots
21-23, 26-28, and 33 load share power distributed from the equipped
STPMs (slot 24 and slot 25).

3.04 Zone 1 powers four port modules (slots 1-4), two MFABs (slots 8 and 9),
one STPM/Common (slot 24), and two Fan modules (slots 29 and 30) The mTera
Shelf power terminals 1A and 1B supply power to zone 1. Refer to Figure 3.1, page
18.
3.05 Zone 2 powers four port modules (slots 5, 6, 7, and16), two MFABs (slots
17 and 18), one STPM/Common (slot 25), and two Fan modules (slots 31 and 32).
The mTera Shelf power terminals 2A and 2B supply power to zone 2. Refer to
Figure 3.1, page 18.
3.06 Zone 3 powers six Port modules (slots 10-15) and two MFABs (slots 19
and 20). The mTera Shelf power terminals 3A and 3B supply power to zone 3.
Refer to Figure 3.1, page 18.

Office Alarm Interface


3.16 The mTera UTP continuously monitors incoming signals and internal
system conditions, providing an alarm detection and reporting system to alert
maintenance personnel in the event of a failure.
3.17 A SAIM module (SIOM for mTera 8-slot shelf) is required for alarms.
3.18 A SAIM/SIOM is required if alarm, user output, or environmental inputs will
be communicated from/to external sources.

Alarm Categories Categories are critical, major, and minor.

Local Alarm Reporting The mTera shelf reports the status of each category of alarm by lighting a
corresponding LED displayed on a centrally located Shelf Alarm Interface
Panel (SAIP).
The mTera shelf reports the status of each category of alarm by lighting a
corresponding LED displayed on the STPM.

External Alarm Reporting In the mTera shelf, the SAIM (SIOM on mTera 8-slot shelf) provides
form-C relay contacts for audible, visual, and telemetry (end of aisle) alarm
signaling to the office alarm grid.
In the mTera shelf, the Timing and Telemetry Module on the main shelf
provides a DB15 connector for audible, visual, and telemetry (end of aisle)
alarm signaling to the office alarm grid.

Relay Contact Rating All relay contacts are rated for 0.5 amperes at 56 Vdc.

System Specifications 3. System Interfaces

System Control Interface


3.19 The mTera UTP supports multiple 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports for
external communication to the other NEs within the network. TL1 on the NE uses
the same Ethernet port to propagate TL1 messages to the OSS or to a terminal
connected on the data communications network (DCN). The default port address
for the TL1 Telnet interface is 3083.
3.20 The Ethernet interface supports TCP/IP (RFC 1006) data communications
enabled network.
3.21 In the mTera UTP a Local Craft Interface (LCI) Ethernet port located on the
active STPM provides the interface to perform basic commissioning using the 7191
Craft Station.

Data Communications Network Interface


3.22 The mTera UTP data communications network (DCN) capability provides
a TCP/IP enabled Ethernet network.
3.23 The DCN supports Transaction Language 1 (TL1) over TCP for OSS. The
system also supports TL1 over Telnet for Terminal access.
3.24 The amount of bandwidth an NE utilizes depends on a number of factors
such as the type of equipment provisioned, number of client ports, number of
cross-connections, alarm rate, and transmission of performance monitoring data.
Under normal operating conditions, each NE may utilize between 16 kbps and 2.2
Mbps of DCN bandwidth.

Note: The upper limit of 2.2 Mbps facilitates the transfer of large software images
to an NE in a reasonable amount of time.

TL1 Interface to NE The TL1 to NE interface is a software interface between a TL1-based


operational support system (OSS) and an mTera NE. This interface
enables the OSS to receive autonomous messages, in the form of TL1
alarms and events, from mTera NEs. Additionally, user-initiated
Telnet/TCP sessions on individual NEs enable users to do provisioning,
maintenance and user management, and to retrieve alarms and
equipment/facility properties.

CLI Interface to NE The Command Line Interface (CLI) to NE interface is a software interface
between a CLI-based operational support system (OSS) and the packet
subsystem of the mTera NE. Additionally, user-initiated Telnet sessions on
individual NEs enable users to do provisioning, maintenance and user
management, and to retrieve alarms and equipment/facility properties.

System Specifications 3. System Interfaces

Note 1: For more information about packet applications, refer to Packet


Subsystem Operations Using CLI, and Packet Subsystem Operations
Using Management Systems.

Note 2: The mTera UTP supports up to five CLI sessions to a packet subsystem
through a private gateway network element (PGNE), which can support
up to 30 CLI sessions per EON.

Embedded Operations Channel Network


3.25 Co-located NEs are linked together using Ethernet cables in specific ports
of the 7100 OTS/7100 Nano HDP or the mTera SEIM. These interconnection links
form a single EON and enable any management system connected to the network
to send TL1 commands and receive responses or autonomous messages to any
of the NEs in the EON.
3.26 An mTera NE contains up to 2 SEIM modules. Each SEIM has 8 Ethernet
interfaces that can be configured in the EON. One of the 8 Ethernet interfaces is
the DCN interface and the others can be reconfigured.
3.27 The mTera NE has two network partitions: NP-1 (MCN) and NP-3 (TPCP).
NP-1 carries management and signaling traffic and NP-3 carries transport plane
control plane traffic.
3.28 In a private EON, some mTera Network interfaces can be configured in the
Private EON MCN with the OSPFAREA 0.0.0.0 and others can be configured in the
SCN using the SCN OSPF AREA. Both the MCN and SCN interfaces are in the
single network partition (NP-1) for mTera.
3.29 mTera supports the port redundancy function on the SEIM module using
the Tellabs Redundancy IP (TRIP) protocol.
3.30 mTera EON supports the GCC interfaces on the transponder modules.
3.31 The mTera UTP uses a “proxy mode” to determine the running
applications for the NE.

Client Proxy Mode 3.32 When the proxy is set to client mode, the mTera NE can participate in the
legacy Private EON with 7100 OTS or 7100 Nano NEs, and perform the networking
functions of a PRNE.
3.33 In client proxy mode, the applications on the mTera NE need the
application gateways from the PGNE to communicate with its application server.

Disabled (Flat IP) Proxy 3.34 When the mTera NE connects directly to the customer DCN and uses
Mode public IP addresses, the proxy mode is disabled and the applications on the mTera
connect directly to the application server (or client) without application gateways.
3.35 Disabled proxy mode is also known as flat IP mode.
3.36 In flat IP mode, mTera EON can configure its network interfaces into two
different DCN and SCN OSPF areas to support management and signaling in the
single network partition.

General Communications Channel


3.37 A GCC (General Communications Channel) interface is an in-band
channel of an ODU or an OTU on the OSM-1S, OSM-2S, or OSM-2C. GCC
connectivity uses interfaces on the switching modules. GCC routes management
communication to the appropriate network elements. All EON application
protocols, such as FTP, TL1, and SNMP are supported through GCC links.
3.38 GCC is only processed at nodes that support GCC-capable ODU
switching modules. The GCC feature can be used to create a management
communication link over a facility that does not include an OSC, or to create a
management communication link that passes through intermediate optical
switching nodes without requiring routing of the management traffic in those nodes.
3.39 The mTera uses its internal control Ethernet network to carry facility
interface embedded communications such as GCC to the shelf STPM. GCC
Channels are supported in OTN interfaces. A facility can represent different layer
functions in different port modules. The relations between facility and layer are
listed below:
• OCH-P facility represents OCH+OTUk layers in OSM-2C and
OSM-2S switching modules.

• OTUk facility represents OTUk layer in OSM-2C and OSM-2S


switching modules.

3.40 Refer to System Administration and Operations for more information on


configuring GCC.

Direct Connect
3.41 The Direct Connect feature allows for connection of a port module located
in the mTera to an external DWDM multiplexer module. This external multiplexer
module could be a non-Coriant DWDM multiplexer or ROADM.
3.42 In the mTera Direct Connect applications, the wavelength is set directly at
the OCH-P.
3.43 Table 3.10, page 30 shows the transceivers available for use with the
Direct Connect application. Table 3.11, page 31 show transmitted power levels and
receiver sensitivities that are associated with the DWDM line-side interface on
mTera port modules. This allows verification of compatibility between port modules
and external DWDM multiplexer or ROADM equipment.
3.44 Users configure the Direct Connect feature per module. Modules using the
Direct Connect feature may be mixed on the same shelf with other modules that do
not use the Direct Connect feature. Refer to the individual module practice for
module specific information.

Note 1: For more information on the Direct Connect feature, refer to the General
Description.

Note 2: Refer to the ENT-CRS-OCH command in the Command Reference


Manual for the optical channel numbering scheme.

3.45 Determine the approximate distance capability of a passive DWDM


multiplexer based on the following transmitted power levels and receiver
sensitivities that are associated with the line-side optical transmitter on mTera port
modules and non-Coriant tunable or fixed DWDM wavelengths.

Note: External attenuators may be required to get the Line Side Receive signal
within the Min/Max Receiver Power listed for the pluggable transceiver in

Lightpath Integrity
4.01 The lightpath integrity criteria includes bit error rate, loss of signal failure
thresholds, signal protection, and power monitoring.

Lightpath Bit Error Rate The minimum lightpath BER for networks designed using the 7196
(BER) Planning Tool is 10-15. The system can operate with a lightpath BER as low
as 10-12.

Loss of Signal Failure The mTera UTP sends a loss of signal alarm if an incoming signal defect
persists for 2.5 ( 0.5) seconds.
The alarm clears when the signal defect has been absent for 10 (0.5)
seconds.

Appendix A. Chromatic Dispersion

Overview
A.01 Chromatic dispersion (CD) is a property of fiber that limits the transmission
distance of a system and also limits the bit rate of the system. Different wave-
lengths or frequencies traveling down a fiber experience a different differential
delay. This is due to the refractive index (or density) of a fiber being wavelength
dependant. The differential delay is a function of distance. Figure A.1, page 64
shows the typical differential delay of a standard Single Mode Fiber (SMF) relative
to wavelength.

Figure A.1 Differential Delay Versus Wavelength of Single Mode Fiber

differential delay ps/km

reference time delay

wavelength (nm)

lambda zero

A.02 Figure A.1, page 64 shows that all wavelengths experience differential
delay as they travel through the fiber. However, one wavelength experiences the
smallest delay. This wavelength is “Lambda Zero” or “Zero dispersion wavelength”
and for single mode fiber is typically around 1310 nm. The wavelengths on the right
side and the left side of the Lambda Zero wavelength experience differential delay
greater than the differential delay experienced by the Lambda Zero wavelength.
A.03 Wavelengths to the right of Lambda Zero are said to have “Positive Disper-
sion”. Positive Dispersion occurs when shorter wavelengths travel quicker than
longer wavelengths.
A.04 Wavelengths to the left of Lambda Zero are said to have “Negative Disper-
sion.” Negative Dispersion occurs when longer wavelengths travel quicker than
shorter wavelengths.

76.MTFP50/5 Page 64 Rev C, July 2018


System Specifications

A.05 Differential delay as shown in Figure A.1, page 64 has a curve that has the
units of ps/km. Chromatic dispersion is the rate of change of fiber delay with
respect to wavelength. The units for chromatic dispersion are ps/nm/km. Figure
A.2, page 65 shows a typical CD plot for standard single mode fiber.

Figure A.2 Typical Chromatic Dispersion Trace of a Single Mode Fiber

A.06 The following information is required for a CD trace. This information is


important for system design.
• Dispersion at 1550 nm. For standard single mode fiber (SMF-28) this
figure is approximately 16–18 ps/nm/km.

• Lambda Zero. For SMF-28 this is approximately 1310 nm.

• Slope

A.07 CD limits the distance of transmission and the bit rate of the system. The
limitation is primarily caused by the pulse spreading of the data signal.

Calculations
A.08 To calculate chromatic dispersion, follow the steps below:
__ 1. Determine the dispersion per km by identifying the fiber type. Refer to
Table A.1, page 66.

Table A.1 Typical Dispersion of Various Fiber Types


Typical Chromatic
Fiber Corning’s Dispersion at 1550 Suitable
Type Implementation Description nm (ps/nm/km) for DWDM

ITU-G.652 SMF-28 standard single mode fiber 17 yes

ITU-G.653 not applicable dispersion shifted fiber 0 no

ITU-G.655 Leaf non-zero dispersion shifted fiber 3.8 yes

ITU-G.655 MetroCor non-zero negative dispersion shifted fiber -7.2 yes

__ 2. Determine the total glass length of the wavelength. This is the total
optical path length a wavelength travels without transponder
regeneration.

Note: For mixed fiber types determine the total glass length for each fiber type.

__ 3. Calculate the total glass length dispersion.


Single fiber type:
Total glass length dispersion = (Dispersion per km * Total glass length)
ps/nm

Mixed fiber type:


Total glass length dispersion = ((Dispersion per km of fiber type 1 *
Total glass length of fiber type 1)
+ (Dispersion per km of fiber type 2 * Total glass length of fiber type 2)
+ (Dispersion per km of fiber type n * Total glass length of fiber type)
+ (……………………...))

Appendix B. Polarization Mode Dispersion

Overview
B.01 Like chromatic dispersion (CD), Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) limits
the transmission speed of a system. Even though the result of PMD manifests itself
the same way as CD, the reasons that cause PMD are different. CD, as described
in Appendix A, page 64 is intrinsic to the chemical properties within the fiber. Given
the fiber type, CD in general is predictable and should remain constant throughout
the life of the fiber. PMD however is attributed to physical imperfections of the fiber.
These imperfections generally refer to the non-symmetry of the core and cladding.
These imperfections can be created during the manufacturing process of the fiber
or be introduced to the fiber when it is deployed in the field.
B.02 Figure B.1, page 67 shows the pulse spreading effect on a signal traveling
down a fiber with PMD.

Figure B.1 Pulse Spreading Effect

B.03 Pulse spreading continues to increase as the distance of the fiber


increases. There is a point where the pulse spreading is large enough that the data
pulses begin to overlap. Overlapping of the data pulses leads to poor BER perfor-
mance. Figure B.2, page 67 shows overlapping data pulses due to pulse
spreading.

Figure B.2 Overlapping Data Pulses Due to Pulse Spreading

76.MTFP50/5 Page 67 Rev C, July 2018


System Specifications

B.04 Following the example shown in Figure B.2, page 67 if the fiber length was
kept constant, then the pulse spreading at any given wavelength would also remain
the same. The fiber link supports data rates up to a certain speed. However, trans-
mitting data beyond this speed results in poor BER performance. Refer to Figure
B.3, page 68. In order to allow the use of higher data rate, chromatic Dispersion
Compensation Modules are required.

Figure B.3 Example of Pulse Overlapping Due to Increasing the Data Rate and
Keeping the Fiber Distance Fixed

Calculations
B.05 Calculate the total PMD of numerous spans using the following expres-
sion:

Total PMD =

In practice, this equation yields 5%–10% inaccuracy. It is recommended


that 10% be added to the calculated total PMD.
