The PTS 22000 series hardware platform comes in three models, offering differing
bandwidth capacities, connection choices and power options. Units will target throughput
as a 4, 10, 20 or 40 Gigabit system, with these interface and system variants:
• A fixed, 8 X 1 Gbps data or cluster intersection (8 ports) copper or fiber interfaces
• An optional BLD 24010 . This is a 20 Gbps data interface blade that has 14 ports for
data intersection or clustering (12 are SFP/SFP+, 2 are XFP).
The chassis is common across the two power supply variant types and comes with either AC
or DC field replaceable power supply modules.
Other field replaceable components include:

The following table provides performance metrics under typical network conditions. Actual inspection
throughput performance may vary based upon the software licenses and policies enabled, and
deployment characteristics.
The PTS 22000 offers a broad range of standards-based interfaces:

• RADIUS interface to AAA, DHCP, LDAP systems
• IETF standard-compliant alarm MIBs to Network Operations Center
• 3GPP standard-compliant Gx interface to Policy and Charging Rules Function
(PCRF)*
• 3GPP standard-compliant Gy interface to Online Charging Systems (OCS)*
• Support for mobile data intersection for 3GPP Gn, Gi, Gp, S5, S8, S2
• Support for mobile data intersection for 3GPP2 Pi, PDN
• Usage Data Records (UDR) to Offline Charging Systems (OFCS)*
• SOAP and SQL interface, CSV files to external reporting and Operations Support
Systems (OSS)*
*Requires separate license

Each PTS 22000 has 8 built-in ports plus one blade slot. All built-in ports can be configured as cluster
ports or as data ports.
The built-in ports on the PTS 22000 are considered the first slot and are numbered 1-x while the ports
on the blade are considered the second slot and are numbered 2-x. For example, port 2-3 is the 3rd
port on the blade.
The PTS 22000 has fixed ports and one slot that can be used for Ethernet interface blade or any of the
two bypass blades for power failures and major system events.

The BLD 24010 is a 20 Gbps data interface blade that has 14 ports for data intersection or clustering
(12 are SFP/SFP+, 2 are XFP). When the BLD24010 is inserted into a PTS 22000, all 14 ports can be
used for cluster or data..
The built-in ports on the PTS 22000 are considered the first slot and are numbered 1-x while the ports
on the blade are considered the second slot and are numbered 2-x. For example, port 2-3 is the 3rd
port on the blade.
The PTS 22000 has fixed ports and one slot that can be used for Ethernet interface blade or any of the
two bypass blades for power failures and major system events.

The BLD 22006 is a 6 Gigabit Ethernet blade with internal bypass. The active LEDs are illuminated
when BLD 22006 is in active mode, which means the blade is not in bypass mode.

Power Supply: Each PTS has two hot swappable, redundant power supplies. A minimum of
one power supply must be functional at any given time for the PTS to operate.
To summarize, the PTS 22000 series system comes in two power variants, the AC and DC
variants. It has three field serviceable components, which are the power supplies, the
optional data interface or bypass blades and the XFP and SFP interface modules.

The PTS 22000 series is available in both AC and DC input power versions. The rear of the
chassis is common to all versions except for the power supply modules which are identified
by the different types of connections. Here you can see the AC and DC panel, with the
different power connections, the common switch and ground terminals for both variants.
The PTS 22000 series provides two levels of power redundancy, primary and secondary.
Primary power refers to the input power to the element, either AC or DC, and secondary
power refers to the internal system power buss that is delivered through power supply
modules.
Dual feed power architecture
Dual feed refers to two power input connections to an element. It is common to have two
power grids, A and B, in telecom central offices and other facilities. All DC input power PTS
models and some AC input models utilize this basic architecture with either one or two
power supply modules per input connection.

The PTS 22000 model’s internal power backplane is common between both AC power and
DC power, although only one type of power input can be supported at a time. The electrical
ratings for each power input power connection are outlined above.
For the DC wiring; power grid branch circuits feeding the PTS 22000 should be fused at least
20% higher than the maximum current value. The installation instructions specify #8AWG
wire to be used for connection to the power grid.
If power grid redundancy is to be implemented then each grid will need to provide a branch
circuit capable of delivering the full system current.
Power is shared between the redundant power supply modules under normal operating
conditions. In the event of a power supply module failure or the loss of primary power on
one input, all power will be delivered through the single remaining power supply.

Each input provides primary power to two individual power supply modules which deliver
12Vdc to the system power buss. The secondary load (12Vdc) is shared by two power supply
modules in the PTS 22000 series.

1. An adequate ground (earth) connection for the PTS 22000 must be provided. The PTS has
a dedicated ground lug for connecting to a central office CBN. When installing the PTS,
the ground connection must always be made first. Locate the grounding lug on the rear
of the PTS as shown above and connect the ground wire to the CO CBN.
2. Always use a grounding strap because the PTS 22000 is an electrostatic sensitive device.
Connect the strap to the jack position shown on the rear or front of the unit as shown.
3. Because there are no power switches on the PTS 22000 series, AC Power sources need to
be disabled before connecting the plugs to the outlets. Otherwise the system will power
up as soon as the first plug is connected to the power source.
4. Connect the AC jacks respectively to the unit as shown.
5. Connect the AC plug ends to the separate AC power as required.
6. Power on the PTS by enabling the power source and verify the power. Check the LED on
the front control panel.
7. Check the LEDs on the power supplies at the rear.

Dual console ports and dual Ethernet management ports.

Console port settings:
• Baud rate - 115,200
• Parity - None
• Data bits - 8
• Stop bits - 1
• Flow Control - None

1. Connect the Laptop or PC to the serial console for command line interface (CLI)
management.
2. Connect the Ethernet control RJ45 cable to the system and in turn to the LAN for
remote management and control.
3. The option to connect the shelf to a PTS 24000 bypass shelf involves connecting
the console port 2 using a “Y” split db9 serial cable to either console port 1 or 2 on
the bypass shelf. This depends on the bypass configuration. See the interfaces and
data cabling lesson for more details.

In this deployment example the fixed port interfaces are protected by a bypass blade on
the same shelf.

Dual Role Port Types - Data/Cluster Ports: These ports are configurable (via rc.conf) as
either data intersection or clustering ports.

Data/Cluster Ports: These ports are configurable (via rc.conf) as either data intersection
or clustering ports.
The BLD 24010 is a 20 Gbps data interface blade that has 14 ports for data intersection or
clustering (12 are SFP/SFP+, 2 are XFP). Unlike on the PTS 24000, when installed on the PTS
22000 all 14 ports on this blade are configurable as either cluster or data ports.

Bypass blades
There are several types of bypass blades that can be used in the PTS 22000 blade slots. The
available blade types are listed above.
The BLD24032/42/52 series blades are low budget bypass blades that provide 2 data
intersects, whereas the other three type of blade (BLD24030/40/50) support 6 data
intersects. There are physically many connections on the blades, but for each link there
are:
• 2 fibers facing the subscriber
• 2 fibers facing the internet
• 4 fibers wired over to the data ports on the PTS
• and 4 fibers for wiring the bypass path.
That adds up to 12 fiber connections per link.
These blades are a lower cost option for customers that only need bypass for 2 links, rather
than 6.

In the top shelf shown above, the system shown is a PTS 22400, 20 Gbps model. The BLD
24010 installed in slot #2 is a 20 Gbps data interface blade that has 14 ports for data
intersection or clustering (12 are SFP/SFP+, 2 are XFP). When installed on a 22000 chassis
all 14 ports on the BLD 24010 are data or cluster configurable.
In the lower shelf example, the PTS 22100 (10 Gbps) system with 8 Fixed Ports SFP/SFP+, 1
Gbps or 10 Gbps Cluster or Data ports which are configurable. In slot #2 is a bypass blade
which in this example is not being utilized.
Cluster interfaces are dedicated interfaces to interconnect the PTS 22000 elements. These
interfaces allow the elements to self-cluster. Both ring and mesh architectures are
supported.
The PTS 22000 systems can be clustered with PTS 24000 units.

In this deployment example the interface section is protected by a bypass blade on the
same shelf. Each relay on the bypass blade has the following three connectors.
• Normally Open (NO on blade faceplate) — this is what gets connected to the PTS
22000 data interfaces. In non-bypass mode, traffic goes between the pole and the
normally open interfaces.
• Pole — this is where the external devices (i.e. routers) are connected.
• Normally Closed (NC on blade faceplate) — is the bypass path
Important note: In bypass mode, the fiber on each side of the PTS must be the same type so
the devices at either end of the PTS can communicate in bypass mode. This includes fiber
core type and wavelength used.

In this deployment example the fixed port interfaces, 7 and 8 are protected by a bypass
blade on the same shelf.
Port 7 on the fixed interface is assigned to the subscriber and in turn is connected by
transmit and receive fiber links to the bypass blade, port 1, (top pair). This in turn is
connected from port 1 (middle pair) to the subscriber router. Port 1 (lower pair) is linked
across to port 2 (lower pair) in preparation for any failures.
Port 8 on the fixed interface is assigned to the internet and in turn is connected by transmit
and receive fiber links to the bypass blade, port 2, (top pair). This in turn is connected from
port 2 (middle pair) to the internet (core) router.
While power is available and the switching card is functioning, the middle and top ports on
the bypass card are physically connected to each other via electrical connectivity on the
bypass card. As a result, the bypass blade protects the physical connectivity between the
switching interface on the PTS and the two routers.
In this example it shows normal operation where data passes through the two active ports
(7 and 8) on the PTS via the two pairs on top ports 1 and 2 on the bypass card and in turn
through the middle ports and out to the respective routers.

The bypass protection functions as follows:

When the PTS or the switching function fails due to power failure or a system failure, the
bypass blade senses the fault and switches the transmit and receive inputs on the bypass
blade middle ports to the lower pairs on ports 1 and 2, thus ensuring a physical
connectivity between the subscribers and the internet is maintained with the minimum of
data disruption.
When power is restored or the PTS begins to function correctly, then the middle port
connectors switch back to the top ports and data begins to flow through the switching data
interface cards again with normal data processing by the PTS being restored with the
minimum of disruption.

This example shows the two PTS 22000 shelves are allocated one bypass blade each on the
supporting PTS 24000 bypass chassis.
Each blade provides bypass protection for each shelf respectively. (Bypass blade 1 for shelf
A and 2 for B). The switching protection functionality performs exactly in the same manner
as the previous example.
The bypass shelf is shown slightly larger for clarity purposes and the green dotted line helps
demonstrate that the two sides of the bypass shelf are working independently from each
other and protecting each PTS 22000 respectively. With this configuration the services
traversing through PTS shelf A and B are protected by the 24000 bypass chassis. With this
configuration, compared to the previous example where the bypass blade was on the same
chassis as the data intersect services, the bypass shelf could be placed on a different power
supply offering further resiliency.
As explained earlier, The DB9 Y split cable is used for dual control of the bypass shelf. In
this example the PTS 22000 , A shelf is controlling the bypass blade in slot 1 of the PTS
24000 bypass chassis and the PTS 22000 B shelf is controlling the bypass blade in slot
position 2. Control and status is maintained between each through this serial connection
with a series of heartbeats which are generated by the primary shelves (at ? intervals) and
sent to each bypass blade. These in turn are returned to verify their status and availability
to switch to bypass should the primary shelves cease to operate due to power or equipment
failure.

Bypass cascade for PTS 1:1 redundancy

In this scenario, there are two PTS 22000s (Primary PTS (A) and Redundant PTS (B))
connected to one PTS 24000 bypass chassis which has two bypass blades installed. In this
configuration, the passive bypass element normally keeps all the traffic going to element A
(active processing element). If A fails, the traffic flows through B (standby processing
element). If B fails, the traffic is shunted with no service performed. This is a 1:1
redundancy.
Requirements
• Fiber cables as appropriate for ports being bypassed, internet connection and
bypass path to router.
• 2 Y-cables
• 2 null modem serial cable of sufficient length to connect the bypass connector on
the Y-cable to the Console 1 port on the bypass chassis.
To cable a redundant bypass cascade for 1:1 redundancy:

Use the diagram above.

1. Remove the dust cover from the port in which you want to insert a module.
2. Orientate the SFP/XFP module correctly. Modules are keyed and can only be
inserted in one orientation.
3. Insert the module using minimal pressure until the module “mates”.
4. Remove the dust cover.
To remove the SFP/XFP module use either of the two methods shown above. Remembering
to place dust covers on the module and the empty slot when extraction has been
completed.

SFP - Between each interface set is a pair of arrow shaped LEDs pointing to the slot they
reference.
XFP - A pair of LEDs is located to the left of each interface. Connections have associated
LEDs to indicate status and traffic activity.

There are no copper interfaces available for the PTS 24000, only for the PTS 22000.
On the copper Interface RJ45 sockets, top right and left hand corner of each RJ-45
interface is a pair of LEDs. Their functionality and indicators are as outlined above.
The BLD 22006 is a 6 Gigabit Ethernet blade with internal bypass. The active LEDs are illuminated
when BLD 22006 is in active mode, which means the blade is not in bypass mode.
