l
Features high cross-connect capacity. A single subrack supports a maximum of 12.8 Tbit/
s cross-connect capacity, implementing large-capacity service grooming. Only one subrack
is required for the large-capacity service grooming and, therefore, lowers power
consumption and reduces the floor space. In addition, the cross-connect capacity can be
increased to 20 Tbit/s or higher in the future.
Supports multi-granularity OTN cross-connection, that is, ODUk cross-connection, where

k can be 0, 1, 2, 2e, 3, 4, or flex.

1 Introduction
1.3.2 OTN Application

The optical transport network (OTN) technology ensures flexible end-to-end service grooming,
and enables services of different types to share bandwidth. The abundant OTN overheads and
simplified NMS operations enable users to easily maintain networks and locate faults.
l
OTN cross-connection
Services at any granularity can be aggregated into any ODUk pipe, and different types of
services from multiple sites can be mixed in one ODUk pipe. OTN cross-connection enables
flexible service grooming and improves bandwidth utilization.
GE E2E transmission based on ODU0

End-to-end service cross-connections require cross-connections only on the line sides of
intermediate sites. Physical fiber connections are not required between back-to-back
installed equipment. GE E2E transmission helps save time, which enables quick service
provisioning and reduces fault potentials and maintenance workloads.
Flexible bandwidth utilization based on ODUflex

The OptiX OSN 9800 supports the optical data unit flexible (ODUflex) feature. This feature
enables the OptiX OSN 9800 to adapt to various services, such as video, storage, and data
services, as well as future IP services.
E2E service management based on OTN overhead

The abundant OTN overheads (defined in ITU-T G.708) and simple NMS operations enable
users to manage and monitor services in an end-to-end manner. OTN overheads enable an
OTN network to transparently transmit client services and provide powerful forward error
correction (FEC) capabilities. The OTN overheads and NMS enable end-to-end service
monitoring and management, and facilitate fault location.
Channel monitoring over different operators' networks

When different operators' networks are interconnected, the OTN overheads at the tandem
connection monitoring (TCM) layer can be used to monitor the quality of the channels that
the different operators provide. The ODUk TCM function facilitates fault location.
1.3.3 ROADM Application

With ROADM technology, the OptiX OSN 9800 supports flexible optical-layer grooming in
one to nine degrees. The ROADM feature reconfigures wavelengths by blocking or crossconnecting the wavelengths. This feature changes the static allocation of the resource to flexible
and dynamic allocation. ROADM technology and the U2000 enable remote and dynamic status
adjustment (add, drop, or pass-through) for a maximum of 80 wavelength.
1.3.4 OTN + ROADM Application

The OTN + ROADM feature cross-connects a client service in any optical direction while
ensuring high bandwidth utilization.
Figure 1-4 illustrates how OTN and ROADM effectively transmit client services.
Issue 01 (2013-08-10)


Product Overview
1 Introduction
A tributary board receives client services at any bit rate. After OTN mapping and ODUk
cross-connection are complete, the client signals are flexibly cross-connected on the
electrical layer and share bandwidth. A line board then outputs the signals over different
wavelengths.
Along the optical cross-connections on the ROADM board, the signals over different
wavelengths can be transmitted in any optical direction.
If the signals in an optical direction do not need to be locally terminated, they can be directly
transmitted to another optical direction through the optical cross-connections on the
ROADM board.
Figure 1-4 OTN + ROADM application
1.3.5 Packet Application

The OptiX OSN 9800 supports various Ethernet services and provide packet transport solution
to carry them.
The OptiX OSN 9800 supports all the following service models defined by MEF and IETF:
l
MEF: E-Line
IETF: VPWS
In addition to transparently transmitting traditional Ethernet services, the OptiX OSN 9800
supports Layer 2 switching of Ethernet data packets, provides protection for Ethernet services,
and performs QoS and OAM functions for the Ethernet services. It also provides packet transport
solutions.

1.3.6 Redundancy and Protection

This topic describes network- and equipment-level protection supported by the OptiX OSN
9800.
Network-Level Protection (OTN)

The product supports a series of OTN-based network-level service protection schemes, such as
optical channel protection (including client 1+1 protection and intra-board 1+1 protection),
subnetwork connection protection (SNCP, including ODUk SNCP, tributary SNCP).
Table 1-1 lists the network-level protection (OTN) schemes supported by the OptiX OSN
9800.
Table 1-1 Network-level protection schemes (OTN)
Protection
Scheme
Description
Client 1+1
protection
Protects services against faults on optical transponder units (OTUs) and

OCh fiber disconnections using the dual feeding and selective receiving
function of the OLP/DCP board.
Intra-board 1
+1 protection
Protects OCh fibers using diverse routing and the dual feeding and selective
receiving function of OLP/DCP boards.
LPT
Detects and reports faults at the service access points and on intermediate
networks. It also helps data communication equipment, such as routers,
switch to the backup network in a timely manner. By doing so, normal
transmission of important services can be remained even when the link is
faulty.
Optical Line
Protection
It uses the dual fed and selective receiving function of the OLP board to
protect line fibers between adjacent stations by using diverse routing.
ODUk SNCP
Protects services against line board faults and OCh fiber disconnections
using the dual feeding and selective receiving function of electrical-layer
cross-connections. The OptiX OSN 9800 supports ODUk SNCP protection.
Tributary
SNCP
Protects SDH/SONET or OTN services that a tributary board receives using

the dual feeding and selective receiving function of electrical-layer crossconnections. The OptiX OSN 9800 supports ODUk SNCP protection.
Network Level Protection (Packet)

The OptiX OSN 9800 provides various types of network level protection (Packet), as listed in
Table 1-2.

Product Overview
1 Introduction
Table 1-2 Network Level Protection (Packet)

Protection
Description
LAG
The LAG aggregates multiple physical links to form a logical link that is at
a higher rate. Link aggregation functions between adjacent equipment.
Hence, link aggregation is not related to the architecture of the entire
network. Link aggregation is also called port aggregation because each link
corresponds to a port on an Ethernet.
PW APS
As network-level protection, PW APS uses a protection PW to protect the

working PW, and helps prevent service interruptions resulting from the
working PW failure. PW APS is available in one type: PW APS 1:1.
Tunnel APS
As a network protection scheme, tunnel APS uses a protection tunnel to

protect the working tunnel and prevent service interruptions in case of the
working tunnel failures. Tunnel APS is available in one type: Tunnel APS
1:1.

Description
ALS
After the automatic laser shutdown (ALS) function is enabled on a tributary or line
board, the board shuts down the laser in the transmit direction when it receives no
optical signals from the upstream board. The board re-enables the laser when it
receives optical signals. This function prevents injuries associated with lasers and
prolongs the life of a laser by decreasing the working time of the laser.
AGC
The automatic gain control (AGC) function ensures that channel gain is not
affected when wavelengths are added or dropped or when there is optical power
fluctuation in the WDM system. This function guarantees normal service running
in the WDM system.

Description
ALC
Optical fiber aging, optical connector aging, multiple wavelengths added or

dropped simultaneously or other power changes are factors that may lead to
abnormal loss on the line. When this happens, line loss is changed, the optical
signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of the system is degraded. To minimize such
influence, the automatic level control (ALC) function automatically adjusts the
output power of the amplifiers in the link according to the line loss change. When
the line loss changes, the output power of it will remain unchanged.
APE
The automatic power equilibrium (APE) function automatically detects and adjusts
the optical power along channels on WDM-side ports to ensure the required
channel optical power flatness. If the channel optical power varies and flatness is
not maintained to a specified requirement, the OSNR of the optical transmission
line will deteriorate, which will degrade and possibly interrupt the communication.
IPA
Optical amplifiers (OAs) output high optical power. If a fiber connecting to an OA

is cut, the OA keeps emitting light with high optical power if the laser on the
amplifier is not shut down. The intense light at the open fiber may cause injuries
to maintenance personnel during fiber maintenance. To prevent personal injuries,
the intelligent power adjustment (IPA) function shuts down lasers on the affected
OAs when a fiber cut occurs.
IPA of
Raman
system
The LINE optical port on the CRPC board outputs high-power pump light. To
prevent injuries associated with lasers, especially eye damage caused by laser
radiation, the IPA function shuts down lasers on Raman amplifiers when a line
fault occurs.
1.3.8 Synchronization
When the OptiX OSN 9800 interconnects with MSTP or PTN equipment, the OptiX OSN 8800
T16 can be used as an optical NE of the OptiX OSN 9800 to achieve end-to-end transmission
of the IEEE 1588v2, synchronous Ethernet, or 2 MHz/2 Mbit/s external clock.
Physical Clock
Currently the OptiX OSN 8800 T16 supports extracting the physical clock from the 2M timing
signal received through the external clock port.
l
The OptiX OSN 8800 T16 supports two 120-ohm or 75-ohm external clock inputs and
outputs.
The OptiX OSN 8800 T16 supports three clock modes: trace, holdover.
The OptiX OSN 8800 T16 supports the line and 2 Mbit/s clocks. It can process and transmit
synchronization status messages (SSMs).
IEEE 1588v2
The IEEE 1588v2 clock complies with the IEEE 1588v2 protocol. It is also called IEEE 1588v2
clock and used for time synchronization.
Issue 01 (2013-08-10)

Product Overview
1 Introduction
The IEEE 1588v2 protocol is a synchronization protocol. Time synchronization is achieved by

exchanging the IEEE 1588v2 protocol packets. The protocol supports synchronization accuracy
in the microsecond range, which meets the time synchronization requirement of 3G base stations.
NOTE
To achieve IEEE 1588v2 clock synchronization, all NEs on the clock link must support the IEEE 1588v2
protocol.
1.3.9 ASON Feature

In a legacy transmission network, the WDM transmission equipment functions as fibers to carry
services and must meet high requirements regarding operability. Generally the legacy
transmission network is facing the following challenges:
l
Service configurations are complex, and it is time-consuming to expand system capacity

and provision services.
Bandwidth utilization is low and inefficient. For example, on a ring network, half of the
bandwidth is always vacant.
Limited protection schemes are applicable, among which the self-healing protection has
poor performance.
Huawei developed ASON to help carriers to meet these challenges. ASON enhances the network
connection management and recovery capabilities by introducing signaling to the legacy
transmission network and providing a control plane. It supports end-to-end service
configurations and different service level agreement (SLA) levels.
Service Configuration
Legacy WDM networks are generally chains and rings. The trails and timeslots of their services
are manually configured ring by ring and node by node, which is time- and labor-consuming.
As networks are growing and becoming more complex, this service configuration mode hardly
addresses the rapidly increasing user demands.
ASON solves this problem by enabling end-to-end service configurations. Specifically, to
configure a service, the user only needs to specify the source node, sink node, bandwidth demand,
and protection type, and the system will do the rest.
Bandwidth Utilization
Legacy WDM transmission networks have a high proportion of resources reserved and lack
advanced service protection, restoration and routing functions. In contrast, with the routing
function, ASON-empowered WDM transmission networks provide protection by reserving
fewer resources, increasing network resource utilization.
Reliability Mechanisms
Legacy WDM transmission networks use chains and rings as network topologies and optical
line protection and board-level protection as the service protection schemes. In contrast, ASONempowered WDM transmission networks generally use the mesh topology. In addition to
sufficient protection, ASON provides the dynamic restoration function to restore services.
Specifically, if there are multiple failures on a network, the services can be restored whenever
possible.

Product Overview
1 Introduction
According to the variation in service restoration time, different levels of services are defined in
ASON to meet diverse requirements of customers.
SLA
An ASON network provides different levels of services to meet varied customer demands. The
WDM electrical-layer ASON supports diamond, silver, and copper SLA services at the ODUk
level (k = 0, 1, 2, 2e, 3, and 4).
ASON feature
Automatically switched optical network (ASON) is a new generation of the optical transmission
network. The ASON software developed by Huawei can be applied to the OptiX OSN 9800 to
enable the evolution from a legacy transmission network to an ASON network. Such evolution
complies with the ITU and IETF ASON/GMPLS-related standards.
ASON enhances the network connection management and recovery capabilities by introducing
signaling to the transmission network and providing a control plane. It enables the system to
provide ODUk level ASON services at the electrical layer, and also achieves end-to-end service
configuration and service level agreement (SLA). As shown in the Figure 1-5, in a mesh
network, a service from the source node A to the sink node G can be transmitted along three
paths: D1 (A-B-F-G), D2 (A-D-G), and D3 (A-E-H-G). If a fault occurs between nodes A and
B, or if the D1 path is unavailable, the service can be sent to the sink node along path D2 or D3
using ASON techniques.

Product Overview
dispersion equalization boards. These boards process optical-layer services, for example,
to cross-connect wavelengths at the optical layer.
l
OTN tributary and OTN line boards process electrical-layer signals and perform O-E-O
conversions. The OptiX OSN 9800 uses a tributary-line-separate architecture and a
centralized cross-connect unit to flexibly groom electrical-layer signals at different
granularities.
Universal line board is used to process electrical-layer signals and perform conversion
between optical and electrical signals. In addition, the board can work with a centralized
cross-connect board to achieve universal transmission and fine-grained grooming of OTN
and packet services.
Packet service board has L2 processing capabilities. They can add, strip, and exchange
MPLS tags, learn MAC addresses, and forward packets.
As the control center of the entire system, the CTU board cooperates with the network
management system (NMS) to manage boards in the OptiX OSN 9800 and implement intersubrack communication.
The power supply and fan systems have a redundancy protection design and ensure highlyreliable equipment operation.
The auxiliary interface board provides functional ports such as clock/time input/output
ports (reserved), alarm output and cascading ports, and alarm input/output ports.
Inter-board communication and service cross-connections, clock synchronization, and

power supplies are implemented using backplane buses. Backplane buses include control
and communication buses, clock buses, and power supply buses.

Issue 01 (2013-08-10)

41

Product Overview
NEs between sites A and F are interconnected with fibers and exchange information
over ESC/OSC channels using the HWECC or IP over DCC protocol.
Some NEs at certain site (such as, NEs at site B) are interconnected with network cables
(usually when optical and electrical NEs are separate), and exchange information over
Ethernet channels (provided by NM ports on the CTU boards) using the HWECC or IP
over DCC protocol.
NEs at sites A and C are designated as gateway NEs (GNEs) and are connected to an
external data communication network (DCN) through a switch or router to achieve
communication with the NMS. All the other NEs are designated as non-GNEs and
communicate with the NMS through a GNE.
l
Intra-NE communication: On each NE at sites A to F, the master and slave subracks

implement intra-NE communication. The NE at site A has three subracks (one master
connected to two slaves).
Network Management System

The OptiX equipment series is uniformly managed by the network management system (NMS).
The NMS maintains all NE equipment in a network. In compliance with ITU-T
Recommendations, it integrates a standard management information model as well as an objectoriented management technology.
The NMS manages equipment performance, communication, security, and topology, as well as
all configurations and alarms for the entire optical transmission system. It also provides end-toend management based on user-defined requirements. The NMS improves network quality,
lowers maintenance costs, and ensures reasonable utilization of network resources.
The NMS uses two different pieces of network management software: iManager U2000 (U2000)
and iManager U2000 Web LCT (Web LCT). In most cases, users can install the U2000 at a
network management center (NMC) for remote equipment management. The Web LCT provides
the ability to configure and maintain individual NEs. In most cases, users can install the Web
LCT on a PC for onsite equipment management.
Inter-NE Communication Management

Inter-NE communication management is implemented through a DCN. A DCN consists of
NMSs, GNEs, non-GNEs, and the connections between them. NMSs, GNEs, and NEs are nodes
of the DCN. The portion between an NMS and GNEs is the external DCN, and the portion
between the NEs is the internal DCN.
l
An external DCN is a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN) and uses
the TCP/IP protocol for communication. It provides communication between NMSs and
between the NMS server and GNEs.
An internal DCN provides communication between NEs using the HCP/IP protocol. The
protocol packets are transmitted over optical supervisory channels (OSCs), electric
supervisory channels (ESCs), or Ethernet channels channels.
Intra-NE Communication Management

Intra-NE communication management is implemented through a master-slave subrack
configuration. The OptiX OSN 9800 supports master-slave subrack management. When a single
NE requires multiple subracks, the master-slave subrack mode is used to unify the management
of these subracks. This mode saves IP resources and displays multiple subracks as a single NE

Product Overview
5.1 Power Saving

5.1.1 Static Power Saving
The following power saving measures are taken when designing the OptiX OSN 9800:
l
Reduced power consumption thanks to the improved chip manufacturing process
Use of efficient secondary power modules
Normalization of 10G optical modules to XFP modules
5.1.2 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 5-1 describes the power saving measures of these three
modes.
Table 5-1 Power saving measures

Enhanced
power-saving
mode
a: This mode is supported only by the T216 board.
Power saving measures are detailed as follows:

l
Idle cross-connect bus: Before a service board is added, the cross-connect bus designated
for the service board is shut down. In other words, the cross-connect bus designated for a
service board is available only after the service board is added.
Idle boards: Before logical boards are added, service boards automatically enter the power
saving state, and no power is applied to the boards.
Idle ports:
This measure applies to idle pluggable optical modules. When a port holding such a
module is unused, the laser on this port is turned off automatically.
Power saving for ports depends on whether the ports are provisioned with services.
Issue 01 (2013-08-10)

47

Product Overview
Heat dissipation is also an effective way for the OptiX OSN 9800 to save power. The OptiX
OSN 9800 provides an adjustable fan speed mode and an auto fan speed mode. In auto mode,
the NE implements separate and stepless fan speed adjustment automatically based on the board
temperature. For example, the speed of the fans in the low-temperature partition is automatically
adjusted to a low level for power saving. In adjustable mode, the fan speed can be manually set
to three levels: low speed, medium speed, and high speed.
5.1.3 Control and Monitoring of Power Saving Status

The U2000 enables users to control and monitor the power saving status of NEs.
l
Users can query the nominal power consumption of an NE, current power consumption of
an NE, nominal power consumption of a subrack, current power consumption of a subrack,
nominal power consumption of a board, and current power consumption of a board.
The U2000 provides a report of networkwide NE power information, such as the nominal
power consumption, current power consumption, mean power saved, and annual power
saved of each NE.
5.2 Environment Protection

The OptiX OSN 9800 is designed to ensure sustainable development. All parts and packaging
comply with related standards and can be recycled and reused.
l
Huawei guarantees that the volume of the package containing the OptiX OSN 9800 and
accessories is no more than three times that of the equipment.
The OptiX OSN 9800 is designed for easy disassembling.
All mechanical plastic parts of over 25 g are labeled according to the standards of ISO
11469 and ISO 1043-1 to ISO 1043-4. All components and packaging are provided with
standard labels to facilitate recycling and reuse.
