Introduction

1.1 Overview

General

Optimux-4E1 and Optimux-4T1 are second-order multiplexers that combine fourE1/T1 tributary data streams into a single fiber optic link. Optimux-4E1L andOptimux-4T1L are low-cost versions of the standard standalone units.

The fiber optic interface provides a secure link in hazardous or hostileenvironments, increases the maximum connection range, and achieves immunityagainst electrical interference and protection against the harmful effects of groundloops.

Features

The main features of the multiplexers are:

Four E1/T1 multiplexed channels over a single fiber optic link

A pair of Optimux-4E1/T1 units offers simple connectivity for four E1/T1channels at distances of up to 120 km (74.5 miles)

Operate with multimode or single mode fiber; and single mode over singlefiber in the WDM module

Transmit each of the E1/T1 channels independently, so that each E1/T1channel can have its own clock source

To facilitate system diagnostics, the units feature LED status indicators, AISalarm generation, recognition, and dry contact closure upon link failure.

Setup, control and diagnostics can be performed via a supervisory port usingan ASCII terminal

Conform to ITU G.703, G.823, G.824 and G.955

Compact 1U high size.

Figure 1-1 Typical Application

1.2 Functional Description

Test and Diagnostic Capabilities

Optimux-4E1/T1 have comprehensive test and diagnostics capabilities that includelocal and remote loopbacks on the fiber optic link interface and on each tributarylink. The loopbacks activation on the remote device is performed by sending a

special test sequence through the fiber optic link. An automatic self-test on power-up further enhances maintenance.

Fiber Optic Link

The fiber optic interface is used to provide a secure link in hazardous or hostileenvironments, increase the maximum connection range, and achieve immunityagainst electrical interference and protection against the harmful effects of groundloops.

The fiber optic interface complies with the requirements of ITU-T Rec. G.956, anduses a proprietary signaling format that ensures optimum performance. Tooptimally meet a wide range of system requirements, the fiber optic interface canbe ordered for operation over 62.5/125 micron multi-mode fibers (typicalattenuation 3.5 dB/km at 850 nm and 1.5 dB/km at 1310 nm), as well as over low-loss 9/125-micron single-mode fibers (typical attenuation 0.4 dB/km at 1300 nm,and 0.25 dB/km at 1550 nm). Most of the options can be ordered with ST, SC, orFC/PC connectors. In addition, 9/125-micron single mode over a single fiber is alsoavailable (with SC connectors only).

The SF3 option uses an SC/APC connector. The FO cable connected to it musttherefore be of the same type.

RADview Optimux-4E1/T1 Users Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

Functional Description 1-3

Tributary Interface Characteristics

The Optimux-4E1/T1 tributary interfaces meet the requirements of ITU-T Rec.G.703. Each tributary port has a 100 balanced line interface terminated in anRJ-45 eight-pin connector.

Line coding is B8ZS or AMI. The nominal balanced interface transmit level is

3.0V. The line attenuation is up to 12 dB, and each E1/T1 signal is processed byan adaptive equalizer that compensates for various cable lengths to ensure optimalperformance. Phase Locked Loops (PLL) are used to recover the clock signals, andthe resulting jitter performance complies with the requirements of ITU-T Rec.G.824.

Each tributary interface has its own set of indicators that show the current state ofthe tributary link. The user can disable the alarm indications generated by unusedinterfaces (via internal switches, seesection 2.5). AIS data streams are transmittedinstead of failed or unconnected tributary data streams.

Alarms and Alarm Indications

Optimux-4E1/T1 can detect the following alarm conditions on each E1/T1 andfiber optic interface:

Loss of input signal

Loss of frame synchronization

Reception of alarm indication (AIS) signal, which consists of a continuoussequence of 1s.

When AIS is received, loss of frame synchronization occurs. However, in this casethe alarm indicating loss of frame synchronization is suppressed.

When not all the tributaries are in use, the user can disable the alarm indicationsrelated to the unused tributaries.

The response to alarm conditions is as follows:

AIS is transmitted on each tributary output in the following cases:

Loss of fiber optic input signal is detected

AIS is received on the fiber optic input

Fiber optic frame synchronization is lost.

An AIS signal is sent on a tributary instead of the tributary data stream throughthe fiber optic link in the following cases:

Loss of tributary input signal is detected

AIS is received on the tributary input

Tributary frame synchronization is lost.

Front panel indicators display each alarm condition. In addition, a dedicatedconnector is used to provide major and minor alarm indications, by means of drycontacts.

Note


10/50

Chapter 1 Introduction RADview Optimux-4E1/T1 Users Manual

1-4 Functional Description

The major alarm is activated in the following cases:

Optimux-4E1/T1 is not powered, or power supply failure

Loss of fiber optic input signal, or loss of fiber optic frame synchronization

Loss of tributary input signals, or loss of frame synchronization.

The minor alarm is activated in the following cases:

Reception of AIS signal on the fiber optic input

Reception of AIS signal on tributary inputs.

An optional 5 VDC/100 mA pin is available for the user to be able to operate theexternal alarm system (small lamp, buzzer, etc.).

An additional (optional) input alarm signal (EXTERNAL ALARM) allows the user toinform Optimux-4E1/T1 that the user system is reporting alarm status. This inputsignal supports RS-232 levels.

2-4 Configuring Optimux-4E1L/Optimux-4T1L Control Port for Management

2.3 Configuring Optimux-4E1L/Optimux-4T1L ControlPort for Management

The RADview management station is connected to an Optimux-4E1L or Optimux-4T1L via an MBE (Ethernet Elementary Bridge), or any other device that supportsPPP, to convert Ethernet data to PPP (Point to Point Protocol). The CONTROL port(DB-9) on the Optimux-4E1L/4T1L rear panel is used to connect to the MBE.

The Optimux-4E1L/4T1L control port has two modes; either to connect an ASCIIterminal directly to the device, or PPP for management purposes.

Using an ASCII terminal or PC using terminal emulation, configure the MBE protocolto PPP. Set the following parameters: Baud Rate=115,200 bps, Stop Bits=1,parity=none, data bits=8, flow control=none. See the MBE Installation andOperation Manual for details.

Figure 2-6shows the LAN management of Optimux-4E1L/4T1L via MBE, over PPP.

Figure 2-6. Management-to-MBE-to-Optimux-4E1L/4T1L Connection
