Optical Transponders
The Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-32/PSS-16 includes a family of highly flexible

transponders that cover a wide range of client signals and support high levels of
multiplexing to achieve maximum optical efficiency.
These transponders share many common features.
• Line-side ITU-T G.709 OTU2 standards-compliant digital wrapper (10.709 Gb/s).
Supports transparent transport, optical channel level performance monitoring and fault
management, and standardized FEC for increased optical reach. (In some special
cases, described below, extended OTU2 at approximately 11 Gb/s is supported).
• Industry-leading FEC option, providing 8.5dB OSNR coding gain, higher than
provided by the standard, is available on all transponders.
• Tunable line wavelength. Each tunable transponder is able to tune to any of the 88
wavelengths that Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-32 supports. This drastically improves
operations and inventory.
• On-board variable optical attenuator to control optical line transmit power and allow
automatic channel power balancing. (Not available on 4DPA4.)
• Wavelength Tracker encoder. Adds a uniqueWaveKey to the line transmit wavelength
for network-wide monitoring.
• Optical 1+1 protection for services requiring high availability.
• Pluggable client optics. All client ports use SFPs or XFPs for maximum flexibility of
service and reach, and for lowest cost.
• Tunable DWDM XFPs are available for line side optics (50 GHz spacing)
• Facility and terminal loopbacks, provisionable error handling, client side digital
performance monitoring.
• Performance monitoring available on all optical ports.
• LC connectors are used on all optical connections in the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-32,
for low cost and high density.
• Dual XFP pluggable transponder variants are available for some OT models, offering
optional E-SNCP

11QPA4 OT
The 11QPA4 and the hardened 11QPA4A support various protocols at ~10Gb/s rate on
client ports. It contains four independent transponders. Each transponder has one
pluggable client port and one pluggable line port, with a fixed association between them.
There is no multiplexing function. The board supports E-SNCP (intra-board). Slow eVOA
for output power equalization, and fast eVOA for WT encoding are supported. Terminal
loopback and facility loopback are supported independently for each port (except VOA).
B&W or CWDM XFP interfaces are used in client ports, and CWDM and DWDM XFP
interfaces are used in line ports.
The following client signals are supported.
• OTU2 [ITU-T G.709] with the ability to provision the GCC communication channel
type as GCC0 (default), GCC1, or GCC2
• STM-64, OC-192 [ITU-T SDH, Telcordia/ANSI SONET]
• 10Gb EthernetWAN PHY [IEEE}
• 10Gb Ethernet LAN PHY [IEEE]
Several mappings are supported.

Ethernet interfaces and two 10G line interfaces. This card is also the foundation of the
Alcatel-Lucent 1930 PSS-1 GBEH device. Its use in the Alcatel-Lucent 1830
PSS-32/PSS-16 allows for complete interworking between platforms
• Supports Full rate GbE and Sub-rate GbE Ethernet virtual private line (EVPL)
cross-connect provision
– CE-VLAN ID Mapping provision

43STX4 OT
The 43STX4 DPSK transponder accepts up to four bi-directional 10G client signals and
multiplexes them into the 43G DWDM line signal. It is targeted for application on the
Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-32. The module has XFP pluggable modules on the client
interface ports, and uses LC type optical connectors on all interfaces.
The following client signals are supported.
• OC192/STM64 (nominal bit rate: 9.9532 Gb/s [±20ppm])
Full SONET/SDH maintenance capabilities are supported when the client signal type
is provisioned to OC192/STM64.
• OTU2 (nominal bit rate: 10.709 Gb/s [±20ppm])
Full OTUk section maintenance (including FEC provisioning (noFEC, RSFEC) is
supported when the client signal type is provisioned to OTU2.
• 10GbE (nominal bit rate: 10.3125 Gb/s [IEEE 802.3ae])
Up to 4 independent client signals can be multiplexed and sent out on the line side. Any
combination of client signals is supported.
On the line side, the 43STX4 OT supports full-band tunable optics, capable of supporting
all 44 even channels (100GHz spacing). The frequency of the channel can be provisioned
manually or automatically. It supports standard OTU3 transport overhead access,
processing, and maintenance, and is hardware ready to support GCC communication and
Tandem Connection Monitoring in a future Release.
The 43STX4 OT line side receiver includes its own Optical Amplifier (OA), Tunable
Dispersion Compensator (TDC), Delay Line Interferometer (DLI), and differential
front-end and drive/control electronics. The TDC allows the 43STX4 OT to be deployed
in 1830 networks designed with Engineering Rules for 10G interfaces. Tunable dispersion
compensation, with a tuning range of -100 ps/nm to +1000 ps/nm, is implemented on a
per-channel basis. (Every 43STX4 OT has a TDC for its optical channel.) The OT uses
feedback from the uncorrected bit error rate to tune the TDC to an optimum value.

43STA1P OT
The 43STA1P is a 3-slot wide, full height 43G Single Port Tunable Anyrate Add/Drop
Transponder. It is supported on the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-32 in this release. It contains
transmit and receive optics as well as multiplexer, driver, clock/data recovery,
demultiplexer, and control functionality.
The 43STA1P accepts a single OC-768/STM-256 client signal and an OTU3 Line
interface with full-band tunable optics. The line interface can be used to select any one of
88 channels (50 GHz spacing). Channel frequency can be provisioned automatically or
manually.

Long haul Wavelength Tracker
The 1830 PSS supports both "standard"Wavelength Tracker (WT), for regional
applications, and Long-HaulWavelength Tracker (LH-WT), for long haul
applications.
LH-WT is supported by the WTOCM card, which is connected to the external
facing LD on an optical line, as shown in the figure below. In long-haul
applications with the presence of SRS (stimulated RAMAN scattering)Wavelength
Tracker WTOCM is required to accurately control power levels.
The following figure shows how aWTOCM card is connected to a module to
enhance embedded baselineWavelength Tracker capabilities for long-haul
application.

WTOCM addition for long haul WT

The WTOCM is supported with the following LDs:
• A2325A
• AHPHG
• AHPLG
• ALPHG
• AM2017B
• AM2325B
• AM2125A
• RA2P
Each WTOCM can provide LH-WT for any 2 LDs.
Unkeyed optical channels are not supported by the WTOCM. Software will not allow the provisioning of
an unkeyed service across an LD with aWTOCM, and will not allow a connection between aWTOCM and
LD if there are unkeyed services on the LD.
Each line within an optical node, and each endpoint on an OMS span, must be configured with the same
WT capability, either long haul (with WTOCM), or standard (without WTOCM).
The WTOCM is used on the following node types for long haul configurations:
• TOADM
• FOADM end terminal with DGE in path
The WTOCM is optional for the following node types:
• 2D+FOADM
• FOADM end terminal, with no DGE in path
In this release, the WTOCM is not supported on an ILA. Also the system will deny attempts to create an
unkeyed connection to a span which is equipped with WTOCM monitoring.
