Product Description 3 Service Mapping

3 Service Mapping

The OTN service mapping consists of two stages: service signals mapped into
ODUk signals; ODUk signals multiplexed and encapsulated into OTUk signals.

3.1 Client-Side Signals Mapped into ODUk Signals

Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 can map client-side services into ODUk signals in
standard mode.
3.2 ODUk Signals Mapped and Multiplexed into OTUk Signals
ODUk signals are mapped, multiplexed, and encapsulated into OTUk signals. The
electrical OTUk signals are then converted into optical signals and transmitted to
the WDM side of the OTN network. This topic describes the ODUk-to-OTUk
mapping and multiplexing paths supported by the equipment.

3.1 Client-Side Signals Mapped into ODUk Signals

Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 can map client-side services into ODUk signals in
standard mode.

In standard mode, it directly maps client-side services into ODUk signals to

achieve flexible service grooming. Figure 3-1 shows an example.

Figure 3-1 Client-side services mapped into ODUk signals

Different types of client-side services occupy different numbers of timeslots when

they are mapped into ODUflex signals in standard mode. The following table lists
the number of timeslots occupied by each service type.

NOTE

a: The number of timeslots is a rounded-up integer of the rate of the service type divided by the
bandwidth of each timeslot (1.25 Gbit/s). If the result is not an integer, add 1 to the exact
division result. For example, when FC800 services are accessed, the number of timeslots is 7 (6
+ 1), because (8.5 Gbit/s)/(1.25 Gbit/s) = 6.8.

3.2 ODUk Signals Mapped and Multiplexed into OTUk

Signals
ODUk signals are mapped, multiplexed, and encapsulated into OTUk signals. The
electrical OTUk signals are then converted into optical signals and transmitted to
the WDM side of the OTN network. This topic describes the ODUk-to-OTUk
mapping and multiplexing paths supported by the equipment.
Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 maps client-side signals into ODU2/ODU2e/ODUflex/
ODU3/ODU4 signals, which are further multiplexed and mapped into OTU4/
OTUC2/OTUC4 signals for transmission over fibers. Figure 3-2 shows the OTN
mapping and multiplexing structure supported by Huawei OptiXtrans DC908.

NOTE

The ODUk rates are approximately 10,037,273.924 kbit/s (ODU2), 40,319,218.983 kbit/s
(ODU3), 10,399,525.316 kbit/s (ODU2e), and 104,794,445.815 kbit/s (ODU4).
The ODUCn rate is approximately n x 105,725,952.000 kbit/s.

NOTE

The OTUk rate is approximately 111,809,973.568 kbit/s (OTU4).

The OTUCn rate is approximately n x 105,725,952.000 kbit/s.

4.2 OTN Features

The OTN technology ensures flexible service cross-connections in an E2E manner,
and enables bandwidth sharing of different services. With the help of abundant
OTN overheads and easy operations on the NMS, users can easily maintain
networks and locate faults.

4.2.1 E2E Service Management Based on OTN Overheads

With the help of the abundant OTN overheads defined in ITU-T G.709, several
simple operations on the NMS can implement E2E service monitoring and
management.

With the help of OTN overheads, an OTN network transparently transmits client
services and provides forward error correction (FEC) capabilities. During network
operating, the overheads and NMS work together to monitor and manage E2E
services. Once a fault occurs, it can be easily located. Figure 4-5 shows E2E service
management based on OTN overheads.

4.3 Redundancy and Protection

Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 supports multiple types of network- and device-level
protection, which ensures reliable data transmission.

Network-Level Protection
As shown in Table 4-2, Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 supports multiple types of
network-level protection.

Table 4-2 Network-level protection

Protection Description

Optical Optical line protection (OLP) protects line fibers between adjacent
line sites using the dual fed and selective receiving function of OPC
protection boards.

Intra- Intra-board 1+1 protection: The dual feeding and selective

board 1+1 receiving function of the OPC board (OLP module) is used to
protection protect services against a fault on the working channel.

LPT After the overhead bytes that support the link-state pass through
(LPT) protocol are added to the WDM-side signal frame format,
the running status of a network access node or service network
can be monitored.

Client-side Client 1+1 protection: The dual fed and selective receiving function
1+1 of the OPC board (OLP module) is used to protect services against
protection a fault on the line side of the OTU board, a board fault, or a
subrack fault.

Device-Level Protection
As shown in Table 4-3, Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 supports device-level protection,
including power supply redundancy and fan redundancy.

Product Description 4 Product Features

Table 4-3 Device-level protection

Protection Description

Power supply redundancy 1+1 backup

Fan redundancy The fan tray assemblies provide 2+1 backup. After one fan tray
assembly fails, the system can still run properly for a short term at
room temperature. However, to ensure long-term stable running of
the system, replace the fan tray assembly in a timely manner.

4.4 Automatic Optical Power Management

Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 supports multiple optical power management modes.

For details, see the following table.

Featur Description
e

ALS When non-OTN services are received, automatic laser shutdown (ALS)
turns off the laser on the optical port in the transmit direction when a
fault is detected on the client or WDM side and turns on the laser
after the fault is rectified. ALS enables the transmission of information
about a fault to a client device, so that the client device can learn the
link status.

AGC Automatic gain control (AGC) ensures that channel gain is not
affected by wavelength adding or dropping or optical power
fluctuation of a WDM system, and therefore guarantees normal
service running in the WDM system.

IPA The optical amplifier (OA) board has high output optical power. If a
fiber cut occurs, the laser on the OA board must be shut down
promptly; otherwise, the exposed laser radiation may cause personal
injury during maintenance. Therefore, the system provides the
intelligent power adjustment (IPA) function. When a fiber cut occurs
on the line, the IPA function can shut down the laser on the affected
OA as early as possible to prevent personal injury.

IPC The intra-station power control (IPC) function is used to detect intra-
site fibers. When an intra-site fiber cut occurs, the output optical
power of the OA board is automatically controlled to be lower than or
equal to 21.3 dBm.

4.5 L1 Service Encryption

Some customers who have high requirements on transmission security expect to
establish an encryption channel for service transmission based on the physical
layer.

Issue 02 (2020-07-30) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 18

OptiXtrans DC908
Product Description 4 Product Features

The service encryption function uses an encryption algorithm to encrypt client

services at the physical layer. Service encryption on a WDM OTNOptiXtrans
network is called L1 service encryption.

With convenient deployment of Figure 4-7, the encryption processing module can
be integrated into an OTU or a tributary board to implement encrypted
transmission of services.

Figure 4-7 L1 Service Encryption System

Compared with traditional encryption solutions such as L2 encryption and L3

encryption, L1 service encryption uses transport devices to transparently transmit
client services. It has advantages in low bandwidth usage, low latency, and
support for multiple services, as shown in Table 4-4.

5.4 SNMP
An SNMP system consists of four key components: network management station
(NMS), agent, management object, and management information base (MIB).

The NMS manages devices on a network. Each managed device contains an agent
process, MIB, and multiple management objects. The NMS interacts with the
agent on a managed device. When receiving a command from the NMS, the agent
performs operations on the MIB in the managed device.
Figure 5-1 shows the network management model.

OptiXtrans DC908
Product Description 5 Network Management

Figure 5-1 SNMP management model

● The NMS is a manager on a network that uses SNMP to monitor and control
network devices and runs on the NMS server.
● The agent is a process running on a managed device. The agent maintains
data on the managed device, responds to request packets from the NMS, and
returns management data to the NMS.
● The management object is an object to be managed on a network device. A
managed device contains multiple management objects, for example, a
hardware component and parameters configured for the hardware or
software (such as a route selection protocol).
● The MIB is a database containing the variables that are maintained by the
managed device. (The variables can be queried or set by the agent.) The MIB
defines the attributes of the managed device, including the name, status,
access rights, and data type of management objects.

Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 supports SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. Table 5-2 describes
the features.

Feature Description

Error Error codes help administrators to identify and rectify faults. The
code more the error codes, the easier for administrators to manage the
devices.

Trap Traps are sent from managed devices to the NMS, helping
administrators to detect device faults in a timely manner.
The managed devices do not require the acknowledgement from the
NMS after sending traps.

GetBulk GetBulk allows administrators to perform Get-Next operations in

batches. In a large-scale network, GetBulk reduces the workload and
improves management efficiency.

5.5 NETCONF
Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) provides a set of protocols for
communication between the NMS and devices. The NMS can use NETCONF to
add, modify, and delete configurations on remote device.

Definition
NETCONF provides a mechanism for users to add, modify, and delete
configurations and obtain configuration and status information of network
devices. NETCONF enables network devices to provide standard application
programming interfaces (APIs) through which applications can send configuration
data to and obtain configuration data from network devices.

Purpose
NETCONF can be implemented by invoking the existing functions of a device. This
reduces development costs and allows easy access to new features. In addition,
NETCONF allows a client to discover the extended functions supported by a server
and to adjust itself to fully utilize the functions provided by the device.

6.2 Optical Doctor System

Huawei OTN equipment supports the Optical Doctor (OD) system. The OD system
provides for intelligent end-to-end, refined, and digital management of the optical
layer on a WDM network. Through centralized configuration for optical-layer
parameters, the OD system supports automatic monitoring, analysis,
commissioning, and optimization of network performance.

Challenges for WDM Network O&M

As WDM networks adopt higher transmission rates and become meshed, reliable
network maintenance plays a more important role. An easier-to-use and more
professional operation and maintenance (O&M) tool is required.
Currently, WDM networks are facing the following difficulties in the deployment,
commissioning, configuration, and network maintenance phases:

Product Description 6 Operations and Maintenance

● Lack of quick and accurate OSNR monitoring methods:

After the network rate increases to 100 Gbit/s or higher, the original spectrum
monitoring method cannot quickly and accurately monitor the OSNR of a
system. It is a great challenge and a trend to develop an online OSNR
monitoring tool for network maintenance.
● Lack of reliable and quick optical-layer O&M methods:
On meshed networks, WDM services become more flexible, and frequent
service creation and deletion make network commissioning and maintenance
more complex. Traditional manual OSNR monitoring cannot address WDM
network development requirements from the following aspects:
– Configuration is complex.
When network optical-layer performance needs to be monitored,
configuration needs to be performed for each site on the network, which
is time-consuming and costly. In addition, some configuration items are
widely dispersed and therefore are easily neglected. As a result,
commissioning engineers have to perform a network-wide check site by
site, leading to low efficiency.
– Network performance deterioration cannot be detected in a timely
manner.
Optical power fluctuation caused by fiber aging, component aging,
wavelength adding or dropping, or external environment cannot be
discovered by manual monitoring in a timely manner. Network-wide data
collection and analysis require a long time and high costs.
With the development of WDM technologies and the change of network
topology, an effective network O&M tool is required.

Functions of the OD System

The OD system supports online OSNR monitoring for various rate wavelengths,
making the OSNR monitoring as convenient as that of 10G wavelengths. This
greatly facilitates routine maintenance and makes it easy to upgrade to higher
rate networks.

Figure 6-1 Online OSNR monitoring using the OD system

The online OSNR monitoring provided by the OD system has the following
features:
● Simple operations
The OSNR monitoring function is integrated into the Network Management.
It can be performed by directly operating the Network Management. The
virtual meter provides graphical display of the monitored OSNR information,
without using other auxiliary devices or complex operations.
● High detection precision
The detection precision is better than that of traditional OSNR detection.
● Wide range of monitored wavelengths
All site types, all wavelengths, and all spectrum widths can implement online
OSNR monitoring.
In addition, the OD system can be used to perform O&M of the optical layer on a
WDM network, as described below.

● Centralized configuration for network-wide monitoring

The OD system supports centralized configuration for optical-layer
performance monitoring parameters, greatly saving labor costs.
● Automatic monitoring of optical-layer performance
The OD system can automatically monitor network-wide optical-layer
performance without using any meters. It can automatically detect the
channels with abnormal performance.
● End-to-end (E2E) graphical display of optical-layer performance data
The OD system graphically displays link performance, facilitating status query
and fault isolation.
To sum up, the OD system can achieve OSNR monitoring of high-rate WDM
networks, quick monitoring deployment, monitoring, and analysis of E2E optical-
layer performance. It improves wavelength-level optical-layer O&M capabilities
and provides services along the lifecycle of WDM networks, simplifying the
network O&M and saving the operating expense (OPEX).

System Composition
The OD system requires the interoperation between the hardware and software.
● The hardware monitors and reports optical-layer performance in real time,
performs corresponding adjustments, and is uniformly scheduled by the
software.
● The software provides user-friendly GUIs, supports network-wide
configuration, provides visualized reports, and achieves centralized control
and uniform scheduling.

6.3 Fiber Doctor System

The FD system is used to monitor and manage line fibers in a network. By
precisely detecting the fiber connection status, the FD system helps maintenance

OptiXtrans DC908
Product Description 6 Operations and Maintenance

personnel analyze the quality of fiber connectors and splicing points, which
facilitates quick fiber issue diagnosis.

OTDR Meter: Traditional Fiber Quality Monitoring

In a WDM system, fiber issues, such as fiber aging, fiber damages, fiber coiling,
large-radius bending, and large pulling stress, may cause large fiber attenuation
and high BERs that will consequently impair network operating.
In addition to fault diagnosis, traditional optical time domain reflectometers
(OTDRs) can be used to measure the fiber length, attenuation introduced in fiber
transmission, and fiber connector attenuation. OTDRs are therefore widely used in
the fiber engineering and network deployment phases.

Figure 6-3 Schematic diagram of the OTDR detection application

Fiber performance testing is classified into acceptance testing and maintenance

testing based on the test implementation phase. Acceptance testing is performed
when links are offline. With the wide application of fibers, maintenance testing
has become a vital and usual part of the process. Regular maintenance testing
helps detect the fiber performance in a network in a timely manner. If traditional
OTDRs are used to perform fiber performance testing, the testing needs to be
performed on site and services need to be interrupted.
Online fiber status detection methods that can achieve remote, online, accurate,
and quick fiber status detection are necessary to improve maintenance efficiency
and reduce maintenance costs.

FD System: Line Fiber Quality Monitoring

The FD system modulates the OTDR detection signals into optical supervisory
signals or Raman light, uses Rayleigh scattering and Fresnel reflection principles to
detect the fiber loss variation and position, and reports the detected data to the
NMS. The NMS displays detection results in a graphical user interface (GUI).
● Provides visualized OTDR meter-like GUIs on the NMS.
● Supports remote monitoring on fiber quality in unidirectional or bidirectional
mode.
● Supports quality detection for fibers within different length ranges based on
the monitoring mode and detection parameter settings.

OptiXtrans DC908
Product Description 6 Operations and Maintenance

● Saves and compares historical detection results.

● Obtains the length and attenuation of the specific fiber span on the entire
network.
● Proactively reports alarms to the NMS to indicate the position of a fiber cut.

FD System: Highlights
● Easy deployment and seamless integration with the NMS
An OSC board or Raman board with the OTDR function is deployed at each
site. After the detection is started, the fiber quality detection result can be
viewed on the NMS in real time. No additional software or hardware is
required.
● Online detection, without any impact on services
The OTDR and OSC signals are transmitted at the same wavelength, and the
two functions do not affect each other.
● Remote location of fiber faults, reducing onsite maintenance costs
Supports quality detection for fibers within different length ranges based on
the monitoring mode and detection parameter settings. The quality of any
types of optical fibers can be detected unidirectionally or bidirectionally.
● Automatic and online fiber quality detection, promptly learning about the line
health status
Fiber detection can be automatically triggered by alarms, and automatic
polling detection is performed within a user-defined period.
● Automatic fiber parameter measurement, facilitating engineering
implementation
Splicing points, connectors, and positions can be identified, and the fiber
length, connector attenuation, connector reflection, and splicing point
attenuation can be measured to facilitate quickly determining the fiber span
loss and fiber splicing quality.
● Detection data comparison, helping quickly analyze abnormal points
Saves and compares historical detection results.

6.4 PRBS Test

For a new network without running services or a network in the O&M phase, if no
commissioning tools are available, the pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS)
function of boards can be used with the loopback function to identify the faulty
link section by section.

Issue 02 (2020-07-30) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 57

OptiXtrans DC908
Product Description 6 Operations and Maintenance

Application
During a PRBS application, a local board with the PRBS function sends PRBS codes
and analyzes the PRBS codes loopbacked from the peer end. By comparing the
loopbacked PRBS codes with the theoretically calculated PRBS codes that should
be received, the local board determines whether equipment or transmission line is
normal. If a board on which the PRBS test has been started does not receive the
PRBS test signals transmitted from the local board, the board reports a PRBS-LSS
alarm.

Figure 6-5 PRBS application (on the WDM side)

NOTICE

● During a PRBS test, only query operations can be performed. Users are not
allowed to delivery any configuration to the boards participating in the test. In
addition, the boards participating in the test cannot carry any services.
Otherwise, services will be interrupted.
● The auxiliary board functions as an interface between the tester board and the
tested network to transparently transmit PRBS test signals. When services
received on the client side are SDH services, the PRBS test function must be
enabled for the near-end auxiliary board. When standard OTN frame signals
are received on the client side, no auxiliary board needs to be configured.
● The PRBS test is used only for deployment test and fault locating. After the
deployment test and fault locating, the PRBS test function should be disabled.
● The PRBS codes vary according to the types of the accessed services. Therefore,
to perform a client-side PRBS test, users must ensure that the accessed service
types for the tester board and auxiliary board are the same.

6.5 Test Frame Function

A test frame is a data packet to test connectivity of a network that carries
Ethernet services.

Issue 02 (2020-07-30) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 58

OptiXtrans DC908
Product Description 6 Operations and Maintenance

If a test meter or instrument is unavailable on site, the board receiving Ethernet

services can be used to send test frames to help operators commission services or
locate faults during network deployment or maintenance.

NOTE

The test frame function complies with Huawei internal protocols.

● When sending test frames during a test, you are not advised to perform any other
operations.
● Sending test frames will affect user services. Therefore, exercise caution when
performing this operation.

Application
A network can be an access network or a transport network. On an access
network, boards on OptiX OTN products are interconnected with client-side
devices; on a transport network, boards on OptiX OTN products are interconnected
with each other on the WDM side.
Figure 6-6 and Figure 6-7 show how to use test frames to detect the connectivity
of network links.
For OptiXtrans products, Ethernet boards with the test frame function send test
frames in either of the following modes: GFP test frame and Ethernet test frame.
● GFP test frame: For 10GE LAN services, GFP management frames are used to
transmit test frames. The number of test frames transmitted by the local end
is compared with that of response frames received by the local end to detect
network connectivity.
● Ethernet test frames: For 10GE LAN/25GE/40GE/100GE/400GE services, test
frames are directly transmitted at the MAC layer. The number of test frames
transmitted by the local end is compared with that received by the local end
to detect network connectivity.

NOTE

When both LLDP and test frames are configured, LLDP must be disabled before Ethernet
test frames are transmitted. Otherwise, the test results of Ethernet test frames will be
affected.

NOTE

● Upward: The client-side port on board A generates an Ethernet test frame and send it to
the WDM-side on board B.
● Downward: The client-side port on board A generates an Ethernet test frame, send it to
the WDM-side on board C through the client-side port on board B.

● Application 1 of GFP test frames: There are three counters. The first monitors
the number of test frames transmitted by board A in step 1 as shown in
Figure 6-6, the second monitors that of response frames transmitted by board
B in step 2 as shown in Figure 6-6, and the third monitors that of frames
received by board A in step 3 as shown in Figure 6-6. Based on service flows,
if the number of test frames transmitted by board A is equal to that received
by board A, the transmission link is normal. If not, packet loss occurs on the
transmission network link, indicating a link fault.
● Application 2 of Ethernet test frames: There are two counters. One is used to
count the number of test frames transmitted by board A in step 1 as shown in
Figure 6-7, and the other is used to count that of test frames received by
board A in step 2 as shown in Figure 6-7. Based on service flows, if the
number of test frames transmitted by board A is equal to that received by
board A, the transmission link is normal. If not, packet loss occurs on the
transmission network link, indicating a link fault.
For configuration details, see the chapter about test frames in the Commissioning
and Configuration Guide.

6.6 Loopback
A loopback is the most commonly used method for fault locating. It locates a fault
by section.

NOTICE

A loopback will interrupt services, and therefore it is often for deployment

commissioning or services interruption diagnosis.
The ALS function has no impact on the loopback function.
For a regeneration board, after a software loopback is configured, changing
service configurations of a board may automatically end the software loopback.
When this occurs, check the loopback status and configure a new loopback.

● Inloop
An inloop loops back signals from the transmit port on a board to the receive
port on the board.

9 Energy Saving and Environmental

Protection

9.1 Energy Saving

This topic describes energy saving modes of the equipment.
9.2 Environmental Protection
Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 is designed to ensure sustainable development. All
parts and packaging comply with related standards for recycling.

9.1 Energy Saving

This topic describes energy saving modes of the equipment.

9.1.1 Static Power Saving

The following considerations are taken into account for Huawei OptiXtrans DC908:
● Simplified board design
● Improved chip technique to reduce power consumption
● Highly efficient secondary power modules
● Normalization of client–side 10G optical modules to SFP+ modules
● Normalization of client–side 100G optical modules to QSFP28 modules

9.1.2 Dynamic Power Saving

Users can perform power saving configurations on the NMS to precisely manage
power consumption. The NMS provides three power saving modes: normal mode,
power-saving mode, and enhanced power-saving mode. Table 9-1 describes the
power saving measures in each mode.

Power saving measures include:

● Idle board: Before logical boards are added, service boards automatically enter
the power saving state, and no power is applied to the boards.
● Idle port:
– Power saving is implemented by adding or deleting ports.
– When the logical port of a pluggable optical module is deleted, the laser
on this port is turned off automatically.

Heat dissipation is also an effective way to save power. Huawei OptiXtrans DC908
provides an adjustable fan speed mode and an auto fan speed mode. In auto
speed mode, the speeds of the fans in different partitions are adjusted separately
and steplessly according to the board temperature. The speed of the fans in the
low-temperature partition is automatically adjusted to a low level for power
saving. In adjustable speed mode, the fan speed can be set to any of the following
