06.07.2017 1830 PSS device management
Inband and outofband management of 1830 PSS devices
The 1830 PSS devices are configured as either gateway NEs (GNEs) or remote NEs (RNEs) in an 1830 PSS management
network. The GNE provides access to all of the RNEs in the network through DCN. The GNEs are connected to the outof
band DCN using the OAMP LAN port. Only the GNEs are directly connected to the 5620 SAM through DCN. See the 1830
PSS Installation and System TurnUp Guide for more information about configuring an 1830 PSS device as a GNE and
configuring the IP route information to allow connection to RNEs.
The WDM RNEs have inband OSC connectivity to one or more GNEs. The OCS RNEs have inband GCC connectivity to one
or more GNEs. See the 1830 PSS DCN Planning and Engineering Guide for more information about DCN, GNE, and RNE
configuration.
Figure 71: Inband and outofband management
GNE management using the 5620 SAM
A GNE has two IP addresses — OAMP (management) IP address and the loopback (system) IP address. The GNE
communicates with the 5620 SAM using the OAMP IP address and with the RNEs using the loopback IP address. First,
configure the SNMP source parameter of the GNE as Any IP interface in the WebUI. Then, discover the GNE from the
5620 SAM using the OAMP (management) IP address in the discovery rule. After the device discovery, the Network
Element (Edit) form→Polling→Management tab displays the Management IP address in the Out Of Band panel and the
System IP address in the In Band panel. Next, set the Management IP Selection parameter in the Management
Preference panel of the Network Element (Edit) form→Polling→Management tab to Out of Band Preferred.
When the OAMP (management) IP address is not reachable due to a failure, the 5620 SAM automatically switches to the
loopback (system) IP address and restores the connectivity. The automatic switching from outofband to inband and
from inband to outofband occurs when two or more GNEs are configured in the network.
Note: The 5620 SAM does not support automatic switching from outofband to inband and from inband to outofband
for OCS devices.
If you need to access a GNE using the loopback IP address, configure the SNMP source parameter of the GNE as
Loopback IP only in the WebUI. Next, discover the GNE from the 5620 SAM using the loopback IP address in the
discovery rule. The 5620 SAM does not support automatic switching from inband to outofband and from outofband to
inband in this case.
RNE management using the 5620 SAM
An RNE has two IP addresses — OAMP (management) IP address and the loopback (system) IP address. RNEs
communicate with the 5620 SAM through GNE connected to DCN using the loopback IP address. First, configure the SNMP
source parameter of the RNE as Loopback IP only in the WebUI. Then, discover the RNE from the 5620 SAM using the
https://infocenter.alcatellucent.com/public/5620SAM130R6A/advanced/print.jsp?topic=/SAM_OUG/html/qzx12.html&cp=10_5 5/64
06.07.2017 1830 PSS device management
loopback IP address in the discovery rule. After the device discovery, the Network Element (Edit)
form→Polling→Management tab displays the Management IP Address and System IP Address in the Out Of Band and In
Band panels respectively with same values.
WDM device discovery
The 1830 PSS WDM device must be commissioned and preconfigured before the 5620 SAM can manage the device. When
the preconfiguration is complete, the 5620 SAM can discover the device. The 5620 SAM discovers the WDM devices using
SNMP and FTP.
Discovery using SNMP
The WDM devices support the following SNMP functions:
provisioning interface for equipment and parameters using SNMP v2c and v3
alarm and trap reporting
trap destination definition
To configure SNMP users using the WebUI, see Procedure 71: To configure SNMPv3 on an 1830 PSS devices from the
WebUI. For information about the 1830 PSS SNMP support, see the 1830 Photonic Service Switch 36/32/16 Product
Information and Planning Guide and the 1830 Photonic Service Switch 36/32/16 User Provisioning Guide.
Filebased FTP discovery
For a large NE system with a high volume of configuration data, the filebased FTP discovery of the 1830 PSS devices is
preferred to discovery using SNMP. The 5620 SAM triggers the bulk data transfer and the 1830 PSS devices collect the
configuration and status data from the database and other software components. The data files are then transferred using
FTP. See Procedure 76: To configure NE mediation for more information about configuring the FTP parameters during the
NE mediation configuration.
Note: The 5620 SAM supports the filebased FTP only on the 1830 PSS8, 1830 PSS16, and 1830 PSS32 devices.
Attention: The filebased synchronization is triggered at full node resync and node discovery, only if the FTP Resync
Admin State parameter in the General tab of the Mediation (Edit) form is set to Up and the parameters are configured in
the FTP panel of the Mediation Policy (Create) form. See Procedure 76: To configure NE mediation for more information
about configuring the FTP parameters during the NE mediation configuration.
OCS device discovery
The 5620 SAM discovers the OCS devices using TL1. The 1830 PSS OCS device must be preprovisioned before it can be
managed by the 5620 SAM. When the preprovisioning is complete, the 5620 SAM can discover the device. See the
AlcatelLucent 1830 PSS64 Installation and System Turnup Guide for more information about preprovisioning the
device.
Note: Ensure that you configure the User Label parameter on the Properties→General form of the WebUI, when you
perform the initial system parameter setting during preprovisioning. The 5620 SAM does not discover the OCS devices if
the User Label parameter has an empty string.
Manage and unmanage devices
You can manage or unmanage an NE. Unmanaged NEs are displayed on the topology map of the 5620 SAM GUI as an
unmanaged NE icon.
Note: If you unmanage an NE, all associated optical transport services are unmanaged. If the service is rediscovered, the
name of the service reverts to the default name.
2.3. Workflow to discover 1830 PSS devices
Workflow

06.07.2017 1830 PSS device management
The following workflow describes the sequence of highlevel tasks required to discover 1830 PSS devices with the 5620
SAM.
Before you discover the 1830 PSS devices, ensure that the 1830 PSS OCS device is preprovisioned. See the Alcatel
Lucent1830 PSS64 Installation and System Turnup Guide for more information about preprovisioning the device.
Note: Ensure that you configure the User Label parameter on the Properties→General form of the WebUI, when you
perform the initial system parameter setting during preprovisioning. The 5620 SAM does not discover the OCS devices if
the User Label parameter has an empty string.
Process
From the WebUI
1 If required, configure SNMPv3 on the 1830 PSS WDM device from the WebUI. See Procedure 71: To configure
SNMPv3 on an 1830 PSS devices from the WebUI .
From the 5620 SAM
2 Configure a user account as SNMPv2 (console) or SNMPv3 for 1830 PSS WDM or TL1 for an OCS device. See
Procedure 72: To configure a user account on an 1830 PSS device .
3 Distribute the user to specific 1830 PSS devices. See Procedure 73: To distribute a user account to 1830 PSS devices
.
1. If required, delete the user configuration. See Procedure 74: To delete an 1830 PSS user configuration .
2. If required, identify the differences between local and global users. See Procedure 75: To identify differences
between a global and local 1830 PSS user or two local 1830 PSS users .
4 Configure the NE mediation policy. See Procedure 76: To configure NE mediation .
5 Configure the discovery rule. See Procedure 77: To configure a discovery rule .
2.4. Switching modes between SONET and SDH
Mode changes
The 1830 PSS can be set to SONET or SDH mode using the CLI command. You cannot change the SONET or SDH mode
using the 5620 SAM GUI. If you switch modes between SONET and SDH, and the mode value is changed, you would need
to perform a full manual resynchronization of the NE using the 5620 SAM GUI.
When the mode is changed using a tnSysSonetSdhMode CLI command, the 5620 SAM recognizes the NE mode change
and generates an alarm. The alarm must be cleared by the user. See “Alarm management” in the 5620 SAM User Guide
https://infocenter.alcatellucent.com/public/5620SAM130R6A/advanced/print.jsp?topic=/SAM_OUG/html/qzx12.html&cp=10_5 7/64

for more information about clearing alarms.
Attention: If the NE mode is changed to SONET or SDH, the configurations on the shelf, card, and port NE are lost. After
the NE is restarted, the new mode must be reconfigured.

Procedure 88: To restore an OCS device configuration backup other than the most recent
Procedure 89: To force restore a device configuration
3.2.1. Overview
General information
The WDM devices support SFTP and TFTP data transfer. The OCS devices support SFTP data transfer.
Encrypted file transfer
During the SFTP data transfer, the NE communicates with an external SSH server that runs on the database backup and
software repository machine. The 5620 SAM runs on the same machine.
Previous configurations supported in the CLI are valid for software configuration or database configuration. The option is
available in the transfer protocol field, and must be used to initiate an SFTPbased transfer.
For software and database downloads, the applications that run on the NE are SSH or SFTP clients which connect to an
external SSH server. Authentication is passwordbased only. Public keybased authentication is not supported. As a result,
you can initiate SFTPbased database and software download operations even when an encryption key is not generated.

You can choose to restore a device configuration using the configuration of another 1830 PSS OCS or WDM (1830 PSS32)
device to meet special network requirements by importing that device configuration and performing a forced restore. The
default restore rejects the OCS device configuration if the loopback IP address and region parameter values do not
match.
You can perform a force restore where the 5620 SAM requests the NE to override the following validations and restores
the device configuration despite the existence of failure conditions:
Software release identifier mismatch
SID mismatch
Time stamp mismatch
Region mismatch

Procedure 816: To view the status of a software upgrade
3.3.1. 1830 PSS software upgrade
Overview
When an 1830 PSS device needs a software upgrade to another software version, you can use the 5620 SAM to perform
an ondemand or scheduled NE software upgrade using a software upgrade policy. You can create and configure multiple
software upgrade policies and assign them to multiple NEs. You cannot delete a software upgrade policy that is assigned
to an NE.
The information in a software upgrade policy includes the following:
whether to activate the software after the software is transferred to the NE
whether to reinitialize the NE after the upgrade
During a software upgrade, the 5620 SAM performs checks to ensure that the new software is compatible with the device
type and that the required files are present. The 5620 SAM initiates a device software upgrade only when the required
conditions exist. You can use the 5620 SAM to roll back a software upgrade to the previous version if an upgrade fails.
The 5620 SAM provides an option to choose concurrent upgrade, while performing an 1830 PSS OCS device software
upgrade, version 8.1 or later, in the following upgrade options:
activate
autoupgrade
schedule
The concurrent upgrade option allows you to upgrade the software on every card at the same time on the 1830 PSS OCS
device. If you do not choose the concurrent upgrade option, the software is upgraded one card at a time. See Procedure
814: To perform an immediate software upgrade and Procedure 815: To schedule an automatic software upgrade .

Overview
Workflow to manage the 1830 PSS equipment
Working with objects
4.2.1. Overview
Introduction
The 5620 SAM equipment management interface consists of:
a main menu
contextual menus
a navigation tree
managed objects
property forms to configure object parameters
The 5620 SAM is used to create, configure, and manage a device with the child objects that must be part of a network.
Equipment, for example, the routers, which are at the top of the hierarchy, have properties that are configured using the
CLI and are discovered when the 5620 SAM discovery process is run.
After the device is discovered, you use properties forms to configure specific parameters for the child objects of the
discovered device. See the 5620 SAM User Guide for more information about equipment management.
4.2.2. Workflow to manage the 1830 PSS equipment
Workflow
The workflow is used to manage the 1830 PSS. See the 5620 SAM User Guide for more information about managing
devices.
Process
1 Manage the 1830 PSS equipment using the navigation tree:
1. Use the 5620 SAM to discover the 1830 PSS.
2. Rightclick on the Discovered NEs equipment group in the Equipment view of the navigation tree and choose List.
You can also doubleclick on the Discovered NEs icon on the topology map to open the Discovered NEs form.
3. Drag the 1830 PSS to the network icon in the Equipment view of the navigation tree or to the topology map.
4. Rightclick on the 1830 PSS device in the navigation tree and choose an option. See the 5620 SAM User Guide for
a list of contextual menu options.
5. Use the Properties option in the Equipment view to perform any of the following, as required:
Modify the device parameters
Create card objects in the shelf. See Managing cards for more information.
View the parameters of the port objects that were created automatically with the card object. See Managing
ports for more information.
Modify the parameters of the created objects.
2 Verify that the 1830 PSS devices are configured before they are discovered by the 5620 SAM.
3 Access the 1830 PSS device and start the configuration and management.
From the 5620 SAM, choose Manage→Equipment→Equipment. The Manage Equipment form opens.
The network administrators and operators can:
filter views and information for the managed devices
view and use a graphical representation of the shelf to configure equipment
https://infocenter.alcatellucent.com/public/5620SAM130R6A/advanced/print.jsp?topic=/SAM_OUG/html/qzx12.html&cp=10_5 27/64
06.07.2017 1830 PSS device management
view objects and get statistical information about the NEs in their administrative domain
view the services that traverse or terminate on equipment
provision and preprovision equipment to prepare the equipment for the creation of subscriber services
view, configure, monitor the state of, and manage the following physical elements of the hardware:
a managed device
each device that has at least one physical shelf
internal and external storage devices (flash memory)
physical links
current OLC state
configure network and access policies for network objects; for example, ingress buffer policies for a port
view and manage APS groups
manage hardware fault conditions
4.2.3. Working with objects
Overview
Objects in the 5620 SAM have parent/child relationships that are contained within a hierarchy. For example, a card in a
card slot is the parent object of a daughter card. The parameters for each object are configured for a specific function.
The parameters can be managed to meet the needs of the service. Objects are created and managed using the properties
forms of the Equipment view.
The network is the top object in the navigation tree. The device object is the discovered device at the top of the hierarchy
in the navigation tree, directly below the network icon. The child objects are created automatically in the navigation tree
after the device is discovered.
Resynchronization of objects
The Resync option of the contextual menu specifies that SNMP MIB and CLI information bases are reread to synchronize
them with the 5620 SAM, which also synchronizes the network management settings with the device. The changes in the
values for some of the readonly parameters from the 1830 PSS are not updated automatically. The parameters are
identified by the resync icon that is beside each parameter. Click on the resync icon to display the updated parameter
values.
Note: The port operational state is updated automatically.
Card and port objects — 11DPM12
The 11DPM12 card and port objects of 1830 PSS devices Release 5.5 and later appear differently than the other 1830 PSS
cards on the navigation tree of the 5620 SAM.
When you expand the 11DPM12 card object, the following objects appear on the navigation tree:
eight ODU1PTFs
two line ports
12 client ports
two VA ports
Line port objects
The 5620 SAM supports the creation of two 11DPM12 line ports with OTU2 as the Assigned Rate parameter option on the
General tab under the Port Specifics tab of the Physical Port (Edit) form. Each OTU2 line port contains an ODU2 object
below the OTU2 line port on the navigation tree. The ODU2 object allows you to configure multiple loworder ODU objects
below the ODU2 objects by clicking on the Configure Timeslots button on the General tab under the Port Specifics tab of
the Physical Port (Edit) form. The timeslots are numbered from 1 to 8. The number of loworder ODU objects that can be
created depends on the container type.
ODU1PTF objects
The 5620 SAM displays the ODU1PTF objects on the navigation tree after the 11DPM12 card is configured. The eight
ODU1PTF objects are mapped to 12 client ports. An 11DPM12 card is divided into four client port groups with three client
ports per group. Each port group can use two ODU1PTFs to map to the OPTSG client ports. Table 91, ODU1PTF mapping
lists the client ports and the assigned ODU1PTFs.

The OPTSG objects are either configured manually or created automatically by the 5620 SAM.
To manually configure the OPTSG objects, configure the timeslots for ODU1 container type as described in Procedure 16
13: To configure an ODU timeslot assignment for 11DPM12 cards . Associate the lineside LOODUk facility as described in
Procedure 1614: To associate a lineside LOODUk on the 11DPM12 card . Rightclick on the ODU1PTF object and choose
the Configure ODU1PTF Timeslots option to configure ODU1PTF timeslots which appear as OPTSG objects under the
ODU1PTF object.
During optical transport service creation, the 5620 SAM automatically creates ODU1 container on the lineside, configures
the appropriate ODU1PTF objects, associates with the lineside, creates OPTSG objects, and creates the cross connect
between the client port and the OPTSG object. The cascading cross connects between ODU1PTF objects across port
groups are also created as required. The OPTSG objects are created when you choose OC3 or OC12 for the Rate
parameter on the General tab of the Optical Transport Service (Create) form. The Assigned Rate parameter option of the
client port must be set to OC3 or OC12 on the General tab under the Port Specifics tab of the Physical Port (Edit) form
which automatically configures the container type as OPTSG.
The timeslots are numbered from 1 to 16. The OC3 requires one timeslot and OC12 requires four timeslots. The number
of OPTSG objects created depends on the Rate parameter value.
Client port objects
The twelve client ports support the following signal rates:
1GbE HDSDI
3GSDI OC3
FC100 OC12
FC200 OC48
FC400 OTU1
FE SDSDI
The ODU0, ODU1, ODUflex, and OPTSG containers are mapped to the signal rate as follows:
ODU0—1GbE, FE, FC100, SDSDI, OC3 or OC12
ODU1—FC200, HDSDI, OC48, or OTU1
ODUflex—3GSDI, or FC400
OPTSG—OC3, or OC12
Depending on the Assigned Rate parameter option that is specified on the General tab under the Port Specifics tab of the
Physical Port (Edit) form, the corresponding client port objects appear on the navigation tree with the container type
displayed.
VA port objects
The 11DPM12 cards contain two eVOA ports that are used for wavelength tracking and power adjustment. The eVOA ports
appear as VA objects on the navigation tree.

06.07.2017 1830 PSS device management
The 1830 PSS32 and 1830 PSS16 shelves provide the framework for the configuration of the 1830 PSS32 / 1830 PSS
16 NEs. A universal shelf provides card slots, fiber management trays, backplane, power distribution, and cooling for the
NE. The NEs can be deployed in a shelf or expanded to multiple interconnected universal shelves.
The first universal shelf of an NE becomes the master shelf, which provides the management and control connections to
the operations systems for the cluster of shelves in a multishelf NE. Expansion shelves connect to the master shelf using
a protected internal LAN communication link. The shelves provide extended slot capacity managed by the database that
resides in the master shelf.
The universal shelf is the basic building block for the 1830 PSS32 NE. The shelf provides a framework for the active
modules in a system, for example, the controller and interface cards.
Each universal shelf has a shelf ID that can be configured using a physical mechanism (for example, a rotary dial) on the
backplane. Up to eight bits of information can be set. The shelf ID determines the identity of each universal shelf in the
cluster. The most significant bit of the rotary dial determines whether the shelf is the main shelf or an extension shelf.
Each shelf is equipped with mandatory modules. Some of the shelves are equipped with optional modules.
The mandatory equipment must be automatically provisioned regardless of whether the equipment is present.
Each shelf includes the following mandatory equipment:
one shelf controller (EC) in slot 1 or 18
two power modules (PF)
a fan module (FAN)
The user interface panel (USRPNL) is mandatory and can only reside on the main shelf. Mandatory equipment is
provisioned without an AINS state. The AINS allows newly provisioned entities to be inserted later without generating
alarms. Therefore, if a mandatory equipment (without AINS) is inserted later, alarms are generated.
A DCM enclosure can hold up to 16 DCMs. The system manages each DCM as a separate shelf.
See the AlcatelLucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch Product Information and Planning Guide and the AlcatelLucent 1830
Photonic Service Switch User Provisioning Guide for more information. See the 5620 SAM Optical Parameter Reference for
more information about parameters.

the fiber plant, and for locating fiber cuts.
The following ports are automatically configured during the card configuration:
LINEIN LINEOUT
OTDRRX OSCSFP
OTDRTX OSC
The received optical power of the OSC is displayed for the OSCSFP port. If the OSCSFP port on the ASWG or A4PWSG
card is assigned, the LINEIN port can only be connected as an external connection. The A4PWSG is a Raman amplifier
with four Raman pumps unlike the AWSG card, which is not a Raman amplifier.
OTDR cards
The 5620 SAM supports configuration of the Connected LD OTDR Port parameter on OTDR P (18) ports. The P (18) ports
are automatically created and deleted with the card.
The OTDR card is used with the LD cards that has OTDR ports. The supported card and port types include:
OTDRRX ports for the LD card types: A4PSWG and ASWG
OTDRTX ports for the LD card types: A4PSWG and ASWG
AAR8A card
The AAR8A card is connected between the MSH8FSM and the MCS816 to provide adddrop direction amplification in the
CDCF ROADM configuration. The AAR8A card provides four drop paths and four add paths. On each path, a nominal
fixedgain EDFA optical amplifier amplifies the signal.
The 5620 SAM supports modifying and viewing the following ports:
AAR8A AMPIN(18) ports
AAR8A AMPOUT(18) ports
AAR8A FSM port

wavelength selective switch for the add or expressadd paths
optical splitter for the drop or expressdrop paths
The two variants of the IROADM card are:
IROADMFixed—for lowloss spans
IROADMVariable—for higher loss spans
https://infocenter.alcatellucent.com/public/5620SAM130R6A/advanced/print.jsp?topic=/SAM_OUG/html/qzx12.html&cp=10_5 35/64
06.07.2017 1830 PSS device management
The IROADMFixed card has a fixedgain builtin amplifier, which supports shorter span reach. The IROADMVariable card
has a variablegain builtin amplifier, which has a wider gain range that can support longer span reach.
The 5620 SAM supports the configuration of the IROADMFixed and IROADMVariable cards on the 1830 PSS8, 1830 PSS
16, 1830 PSS16II, and 1830 PSS32 devices.
4.4.3. Client line cards
Introduction
The client line configurations consist of a combination of interconnected 20P200 and 1UD200 cards in the 1830 PSS8 or
1830 PSS16II shelves. The interconnection is through multiple backplane connections to the adjacent slot or one slot
over.
1UD200 card
The 1UD200 is a singleslot uplink card with secondgeneration 100GigE coherent optics and a backplane interface
configured on the 1830 PSS8 or the 1830 PSS16II shelves. For long reach applications, the 1UD200 card supports a
100GigE mode, which provides Polarization Division Multiplexing Quaternary Phase Shift Keying (PDMQPSK) on the
DWDM line interface. For high capacity applications with less demanding reach requirements, the 1UD200 card supports a

4.5.1. Overview
Introduction
The 5620 SAM supports a physical topology view that allows you to create a fiber connection by selecting two ports on the
displayed shelves. The connection can be between two ports on the same shelf or different shelves.
Note: You can create a fiber connection only with ports that are not already part of a fiber connection.
For an interface (that is, a shelf, slot, or port), you can specify that the interface is:
connected to another interface on the network element
connected to an external interface within or outside of the 1830 PSS network
https://infocenter.alcatellucent.com/public/5620SAM130R6A/advanced/print.jsp?topic=/SAM_OUG/html/qzx12.html&cp=10_5 42/64

unconnected
To define the network topology, you first configure the fiber topology on each network element in the network. You can
then connect the external interfaces on each of the network elements to create the network.
4.5.2. OCS ports
Introduction
The 5620 SAM supports the following for a port on 1830 PSS36 and 1830 PSS64 devices:
configure port group
configure the pluggable module type
assign a rate
configure TCA and alarm profiles
view ODUk crossconnects, optical transport services, and APG groups associated with a port
Port groups
Port groups are automatically configured when cards are configured on the OCS shelves, with PWRSV or UNIVTRM as the
default port group mode. Each port group is identified by the first port in the group, and each group has a specific mode
that is mapped to a specific signal type.
The value of the port group mode must be changed before any port in the group is configured. The mapping of port group
modes to signal types is as follows:
OTH—OTU2, OTU2e, OTU3, OTU3e2, and OTU4
ETHSTH—10GbE LAN, STM64, and STM256
STH—STM1, STM4, STM16, and STM64
UNIVTRM—100 GbE LAN and OTU4
PWRSV—power save mode does not have a rate associated with it. It is used to change the port mode, if required.

Procedure 917: To configure LAG on 11OPE8, 11QCE12X, and 11QPE24 cards
Procedure 918: To create a LAG on an 11DPE12A card
4.6.1. LAGs
Introduction
Link aggregation aggregates one or more links to form a Link Aggregation Group (LAG), such that a MAC client can
consider the LAG as if it were a single link. The 5620 SAM supports LAG through LACP on the following supported ports
and cards, where all the member ports have the same signal rate. LAGs are used for link protection of Ethernet services
on UNIs, specifically with a signal rate of 10 GbE. The LAGs can also be used as a form of linear protection for NNI ports.
A maximum of four ports can be aggregated to form one LAG.
Supported cards and ports
The 5620 SAM supports the configuration of LAGs in the following cards and ports:

Procedure 923: To create a physical link between an 1830 PSS device and a GNE
4.7.1. WDM optical links
Introduction
The 5620 SAM supports configuration of the following topological links for WDM devices:
bidirectional internal topological link
bidirectional external topological link
unidirectional internal topological link
unidirectional external topological link
See Procedure 919: To configure an optical link between ports for more information about configuring WDM topological
links.
4.7.2. OCS optical links
Introduction
The 5620 SAM supports configuration of the following topological links for OCS devices:
bidirectional internal topological link
bidirectional external topological link
bidirectional compound topological link
See Procedure 922: To configure an OCS topological link for more information about configuring an OCS topological link.
Bidirectional internal topological link
The bidirectional internal topological link is configured between the ports within an OCS device. The ports that are not
already part of an optical link are available for creating a new link. The link is configured between two ports on the same
shelf or on different shelves.
https://infocenter.alcatellucent.com/public/5620SAM130R6A/advanced/print.jsp?topic=/SAM_OUG/html/qzx12.html&cp=10_5 49/64
06.07.2017 1830 PSS device management
Note: Unidirectional internal topological links are not supported in the 5620 SAM for OCS devices.
Bidirectional external topological link
The bidirectional external topological link is configured from a port within an OCS device to a port in another OCS or WDM
device. The ports that are not already part of an optical link are available for creating a new link.
Intercompound topological link
The intercompound topological link is configured from an OCH port of the WDM device to a port in an OCS uplink card.
The OCS and WDM devices interwork as partners where the OCS uplink ports and optical channels are integrated into the
WDM domain using virtual OCONNs and PXCs. The crossconnect provisioned for the configuration terminates on the SFD
or CWR port, because the uplink card is not managed by the WDM device.
Note: Intercompound topological links are always bidirectional.
WDMOCS partner pairing
The WDMOCS partner pairing is configured in the 5620 SAM as follows:
On the OCS device—configure the Partner NE parameter, that is, the IP address of the participating WDM device,
before configuring the intercompound topological link. The parameter can be viewed on the NE Specifics tab of the
Network Element (Edit) form.
On the WDM device—configure the OCS IP parameter, that is, the IP address of the participating OCS device, before
configuring the intercompound topological link. The parameter can be viewed on the NE Specifics tab of the Network
Element (Edit) form.
Compound node object
The 5620 SAM automatically creates a compound node object named Compound_OCS node name on the navigation tree
and on the physical topology map after the WDMOCS partner pair is configured. The characteristics of the compound
node object are:
created automatically after WDMOCS partner pair configuration
consists of the participating OCS and WDM nodes
only the compound node object can have the prefix Compound_. The 5620 SAM does not allow the configuration of a
new group in the equipment view of the navigation tree and on the appropriate topology maps with the object name
prefixed by Compound_.
you cannot delete the compound node object and it is automatically deleted when the WDMOCS partner pairing is de
provisioned or modified
you cannot move the elements out of the compound node object or add elements into the compound node object
Deprovisioning the intercompound topological link
The WDMOCS partner pairing is deprovisioned by deleting the intercompound topological link and configuring the
Partner NE and OCS IP parameters with the value 0.0.0.0 or any other IP address. The WDMOCS partner pairing can also
be configured using the WebUI. See the AlcatelLucent Photonic Service Switch User Provisioning Guide for more
information about connecting an OCS application to WDM application from the WebUI.
Note: Ensure that the intercompound topological link is deleted before modifying the partner IP from the node.
Supported cards and ports
The UCM is the WDM module responsible for WDM to OCS communication, and for integrating OCS uplink data into the
WDM system. The WDM UCM interface supports the following OCS uplink cards:
11QCUP 130SCUP
11QCUPC 130SCUPB
43SCUP 130SCUPC
Table 94, Supported cards and ports lists the cards and ports that support intercompound topological links between a

ROADM OADM and mesh connections (degree 2+)
Onedevice Anydirection and Twodevice Anydirection configuration connections
4.10.1. ROADM OADM and mesh connections (degree 2+)
Overview
The ROADM OADM (degree 2) faces the east and west directions. Some traffic from the optical lines may be added or
dropped and at least one single wavelength passes through transparently. The configuration can be used as an optical add
or drop multiplexer in linear networks.
The WR888A supports up to degree 5 mesh connections without the need for additional mesh cards. For the connectivity,
the mesh output port (MESHOUT(13)) of a WR888A card is connected directly to the add input port (ADDIN(18)) of
another WR888A. Three mesh outputs are required for degree 5 connectivity. See Table 95, ROADM–2 Degree 8 ROADM
connectivity for more information.
The ROADM OADM mesh (degree 3 to 8) faces more than two line directions. Individual channels enter from one line and
may be added or dropped or transit transparently to any one of the other lines.
Note: If the 1830 PSS32 network contains WR888A and CWR cards, use the Exclusion option in the Path Constraints tab
to accelerate the path search and transport service creation. See Procedure 161: To configure an optical transport
service for more information.

4.11.6. Precision time protocol
Overview
PTP is used to distribute time of day and a common epoch or frequency. PTP maintains synchronization between master
and slave clocks, distributes the time to slaves using multicast.
The 5620 SAM supports IEEE 1588 PTP clocks for packetbased timing synchronization from a master clock to one or
more slave clocks in a network. You can configure IEEE 1588 PTP clocks on the 1830 PSS device with an ordinary master,
an ordinary slave, or a boundary clock.
The following cards support PTP on the 1830 PSS:
PTPCTL, which implements the physical layer clock (syncE) to distribute frequency and the PTP clock to distribute time
or phase across the network
PTPIO, which provides adaptation for transport of PTP over WDM links
IEEE 1588 PTPcapable OTs (currently only 11DPE12A)
