PRODUCT RELEASE NOTE FOR PACKETSPAN R3.1R2

1 INTRODUCTION

This document is the product release note for PacketSpan R3.1.1 comprising the Ethernet Line/LAN Switch ELS1000S (Layer 2 card) for SMA and UC/EX equipment.

The document describes the release of the ELS-1000S product identified by the release number PacketSpan R3.1.1 Rev 2 and should be read in conjunction with the release note for R3.1 Rev 3 and for R3.1.1 Rev 1.

As upgrade of release R3.1 this release introduces New Features (section 2.1) and rectifies a number firmware issues from R3.1.1 Rev 1 (section 4.1).

The new Build Identity included in this document has been evaluated for continued regulatory compliance from that stated at the previous product release number.

Marconi declares, that the changes made do not impact on the previously stated certifications and approvals.

The product release of R3.1.1 Rev 2 supports Layer 2 functionality to all SMA shelves and SMA1/4UC R3.2 according to section 2.2.

This Release Notes must be read in conjunction with Issue 6 and Issue 7 of the ELS-1000S Release Notes.

End of section



2 FEATURES

2.1 FEATURE OVERVIEW

The Layer 2 card will support transfer of Ethernet traffic from multiple remote end user sites over a single physical interface to the core switch/router. To optimise the use of bandwidth in the network, the private lines are not necessarily transferred on single point-to-point SDH links, instead they will be aggregated (layer 2 switched) at appropriate points in the network and forwarded as several virtual lines in a single higher bandwidth SDH pipe, and terminated at a single Gigabit Ethernet port.

Layer 2 Transport is the mechanism to transport data packets as private lines transparently through an SDH network either physically separated (EPL) with a 1:1 relationship between physical input and output ports or logically separated as virtual private lines (EVPL) with a n:m relationship between input and output ports.

Key features are: Aggregation of Ethernet over SDH links (24 SDH VCs or VC Groups) 2 x GigE interfaces (SFP modules at the front) 4 x FastE interfaces (SFP modules at the front) VLAN tagging n x VC-12,3,4 mapping GFP, LCAS Traffic Management

New key features supported with R3.1.1 rev 1: Ethernet Flow Control (PAUSE frames [IEEE 802.3]) Link Loss Forwarding (LLF) on Ethernet Interfaces and SDH TCs SDH Broadcast Connections Enhanced Performance Management acc. RFC2863 and RFC2819 (RMON)

Additional feature supported with R3.1.1 rev 2: Jumbo Frames according customer feature list item 6.4.3 and 6.4.5.

Maximum Frame Size is configurable per GbE interface and SDH TC 5 and 6 in the range of 64 .. 5000, which is available when card operates in "Jumbo Frame Mode".

Supported Services:

Ethernet Private Line (EPL) Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL), can be supported between any interfaces

2.6 REGULATORY & CUSTOMER/TECHNICAL STANDARD CONFORMITY

2.6.1 ELS1000S Tributary Card

The ELS1000S tributary card is intended for use in a number of SMA product configurations and host platforms. Regulatory and Customer/Technical standards, Safety and Environmental compliance is common across all SMA product utilisation with conformity being demonstrated in full in certain products but via reduced testing and technical justification against like equipment types in others. Technical justification is based on presumption of compliance. Compliance is based on no technically significant effect expected when used in other pre-existing or new equipment types. Compliance status has been demonstrated by testing on a range of Marconi host equipment types.

This ELS1000S card will be offered for inclusion into other Marconi host platforms as a component, defined as, a component with a direct function but not intended to be placed on the market for final use as a standalone item. The ELS1000S is a card that requires to be fitted into Marconi specified host equipment. The ELS1000S requires further adjustment and facilities and installation by a professional end-user to enable its use to either upgrade or enhance existing equipment.

The various conformance tests identified in the table below have been successfully run against the following products:

SMA1/4UC and SMA1/4EX

Series 3 SMA16 Series 3 SMA4

This Summary Conformity Report is for the above tested host equipments including the ELS1000S. Optical Safety

For all SFPs Modules specified in Chapter 2.3 a certificate issued from an independent, accredited body is available which states that the respective modules will not exceed Laser Class 1 AEL under any reasonably foreseeable operating conditions.

Note: THE ELS-1000S IS NOT APPROVED FOR DELIVERY INTO NORTH AMERICA MARKET ACCORDING TO CB SCHEME.

EMC compliance Any trial supplied FTO1 (see Note) Hardware (ENU 005 001 000) complies

to Radiated Emissions Class A. Class B compliance has been achieved for deliveries of FTO2 (ENU 006

000 000) equipment and following. Note: Please be advised that any FTO1 of ELS-1000S (SP58A) has been shipped as

"Network Equipment to be used for demonstration and trials testing purposes



only and is not to be connected to the public network". Under this usage they are exempt from the EMC Regulations and hence we have not made available any Declarations of Conformity. However, it is confirmed, that the only regulatory compliance limitation in the continued use of this FTO1 hardware is as stated above regarding EMC compliance at Class A.

2167 6104436 The Fast Ethernet ports of the card currently don't operate correctly when set to half duplex operation. The ports can be set to half duplex operation either via auto-negotiation or in a fixed way. However the ports don't react on detected collisions in the correct way so that they tend to send more traffic as one would expect. This leads to a large number of collision detections on the link partner equipment.

-- 6101928 Sometimes the Ethernet configuration restore might fail depending on SFP type.

If the restore is failed due to SFP problems, unequip the SFP and start the restore again. After finishing the restore, equip the SFP again.

2141 6104105 After creating an SLA (i.e. press "Apply" in the "Create SLA" dialog), the SLA is not shown in the list behind. The list will be not updated until the dialog is closed. Nevertheless muliple SLAs can be created.

Close the "Create SLA" dialog in order to update the list.

2145 To use Thereshold Crossing Alerts (TCAs) it is necessary not only to activate the TCA first but also to activate the corresponding record (means history counter). As long as the corresponding record is not activated , the TCAs can be activated but does not work.

Before using a TCA activate always the corresponding record also.

2187 6104922 When the size of a queue is modified an error message "A general purpose compliance has been received to indicate that the requested command has failed. This failure is not due to a received message" might be seen. However the queue size is correctly applied. If the settings for the queue are retrieved again the retrieved values show the correct settings.

When the error message "A general purpose compliance has been received to indicate that the requested command has failed. This failure is not due to a received message" is received upon the re-sizing of a queue the configuration data for the queue should be retrieved again to verify that the required queue size has been applied on the hardware

2199 -- The PM Counter "Client Packets (1024 to MTU Octets)" has the wrong naming. It should be "Client Packets (1024 to 9212 Octets)".

None.

2232 -- The Network (Port) Loop for electrical Fast-Ethernet and Gigabit-Ethernet does not work correct. For electical Fast-Ethernet ports the loop does only work if autonegotiation is administartive disabled. For electrical Gigabit-Ethernet ports the loop does not work.

For electical Fast-Ethernet ports disable auto-negotiation before applying the loop. For electrical Gigabit-Ethernet ports unequip the electrical SFP. The loop does work without SFPs.

2233 -- If in the window Ethernet connections an unused interface is selected, it may happen that the properties are not updated.

Ignore the properties for unused interfaces.

2234 -- In the dialog "Ethernet port configuration" - "Ethernet characteristics" - "Monitoring" the values "Link Down Alarm" and "Link Down Cleared" are changed.

None.

2236 6105874 It is not possible to configure a 100Base-TX SFP on the Fast Ethernet Ports.

Use "Adopt" to configure the SFP.

2240 6106151 It is not possible to create a SDH cross connection between an ETO and ELS-1000S if the ETO is used as "Source card". When creating the cross connection with an ETO as 'source' card then the request will be rejected with the error message 'incompatible card types'

Use the ELS-1000S as "Source card". This workaround is not possible in case of a broadcast between ETO (Source card) and ELS-1000S (Destination card).
