Figure 1 Functional modules and signal flow of the TN96NS4 board (Line Mode)
The transmit and the receive directions are defined in the signal flow of the NS4 board. The transmit direction is defined as the direction from the backplane of
the NS4 to the WDM side of the NS4, and the receive direction is defined as the reverse direction.
Transmit direction
The OTN processing module receives ODUk electrical signals sent from the cross-connection board through the backplane.The module performs
operations such as OTN framing and FEC encoding. Then, the module outputs one channel of OTU4 signals.
For the TN96NS4 board,The OTU4 signals are sent to the WDM-side optical module. After performing E/O conversion, the module sends out the OTU4
optical signals at DWDM standard wavelengths that comply with ITU-T G.694.1 through the OUT optical interface.
Receive direction
For the TN96NS4 board,The WDM-side optical module receives one channel of OTU4 optical signals at DWDM standard wavelengths that comply with
ITU-T G.694.1 through the IN optical interface. Then, the module performs O/E conversion.

9/27/23, 2:01 PM 127.0.0.1:51299/icslite/print/pages/resource/print.do?
After O/E conversion, the OTU4 signals are sent to the OTN processing module. The module performs operations such as OTU4 framing and FEC
decoding. Then, the module sends out ODUk electrical signals to the backplane for service cross-connection.
Figure 2 Functional modules and signal flow of the TN96NS4 board (Relay Mode)
The TN96NS4 board implements the regeneration of one channel of optical signals. The wavelengths at the receive and transmit ends of the board are the ITU-
T G.694.1-compliant DWDM wavelengths that carry OTU4 optical signals.
The optical receiving module receives the optical signals to be regenerated through the IN optical interface, and performs O/E conversion.
The signal processing module performs decoding, overhead processing and encoding of signals. During the process, the reshaping, regenerating and retiming
based on electrical signals are performed, and the signals are encapsulated into OTN frames.
After encoding, the signals are sent to the optical transmitting module. After performing E/O conversion, the module sends out the OTU4 signals at DWDM
standard wavelengths that comply with ITU-T G.694.1.
The optical signals are output through the OUT optical interface.
Module Function
WDM-side optical module
The module consists of a WDM-side receiver and a WDM-side transmitter.
WDM-side transmitter: Performs E/O conversion from the internal electrical signals to optical signals.
Cross-connect module
Grooms electrical signals between the NS4 and the cross-connect board through the backplane.
