6-1

6.1 Configuring 1+1 Unit Protection

Purpose
Use this procedure to set the protection relations for the cross-connect and clock
units of the SDH equipment, and the active/standby unit protection switching as well,
in order to realize hot backup function in case of unit fault.
Prerequisites
NM user with the authority of "system operator" or above.
The cross-connect or clock unit with right protection matching relation has been
installed in the protection slot.
Procedure
Step
Action
Select [Configuration/SDH Configuration/Board 1+1 Hot Standby]

from the Main Menu.
In the lower-left pane, select the appropriate NE and click the

double-right-arrow button (red).
Click <Query> to query the current active/standby status of the

equipment from the NE.
Set the active/standby relation.

First select the active unit, and the standby unit will appear
automatically.
Click <Apply>.

6.2 Configuring TPS Protection

Purpose
Use this procedure to set the tributary protection parameters of the SDH equipment
and tributary protection switching.
Prerequisites
NM user with the authority of "system maintainer" or above.
The tributary unit with right protection matching relation has been installed in the
protection slot.
Procedure
Step
Action
Select [Configuration/SDH Configuration/TPS Protection] from the

Main Menu.
In the lower-left pane, select the appropriate NE and click the

double-right-arrow button (red).
Click <Create> to open the dialog box.
Select the protection switching pair to be set.

Step
Action
Set the switching priorities of the protected switching pair.
Click <Apply>.

6.3 Configuring MSP Protection

6.3.1 Creating Two-Fiber MS SPRing
Purpose
Use this procedure to create the Two-Fiber MS shared protection ring protection
subnet.
Prerequisites
NE data has been configured, and fibers have been correctly created.
Procedure
Step
Action
Select [View/Protection View] from the Main Menu.
Select [Protection Subnet/Create/2f_MS SPRing]. The "2f_MS

SPRing" wizard is displayed.
Enter the name of the protection subnet.

The default name is usually used, for example: 2f_MS SPRing_2.
Select the capacity level of the protection subnet.

For example: STM-4.
Select "Assigned by VC4" and "Resource Sharing" as required.

Note:
1) The resource sharing means that a physical resource may belong to
two protection subnets. If it is necessary to create multiple protection
subnets on a single fiber, the resource sharing is necessary to be set
for and from the second protection subnet.
2) Assigned by VC4 into different protection subnets. To divide the
resources by VC4 into different protection subnets is to implement the
virtual optical path protection. It means that part of the VC4s in the fiber
can be put into one protection subnet. For example, for one STM-16
fiber, the VC4s 1~4 belong to an STM-4 MSP, while VC4s 5~8 belong
to a PP.
6-5

Step
Action
Select the nodes contained in the protection subnet to be created.

Double-click the NE in the Protection View and add it into the node
list on the lower-left. Meanwhile,
is displayed on the NE icon.
You can double-click the selected NE again to cancel it.
Note:
The nodes must be added into a MSP protection subnet in sequence in
the direction of the main ring.
Set the attribute of respective nodes.

Select "MSP Node" here.
6-6

Step
Action
Click <Next>. The link selection of the creation wizard is displayed.
Note:
1) If there are multiple fiber cables between two NEs, you can make
selections in the list box to specify "Physical Link Information".
2) In case of "Assigned by VC4", according to the rule of MSP, VC-4s
in the second half part of each fiber protect those in the first half part.
For example, in an STM-16 fiber, the 9th VC-4 protects the 1st VC-4.
3) As K1 and K2 bytes are needed for transferring information for the
MSP, the first timeslot must be allocated to the MSP subnet. Moreover,
there should be only one MSP subnet in one fiber.
Click <Finish> to send the configurations.

The created protection subnet is displayed in the protection view.
10
Right-click the protection subnet and select [Protection Subnet

Attributes].
11
Click the Protection Subnet Maintenance tab. Select all the NEs of
the protection subnet. Right-click them and select [Start/Stop
Protocol/Start]. Make sure that all the "Protocol Controller" columns
are in Protocol Started status.

6.3.4 Creating 1+1 Linear MSP

Purpose
Use this procedure to create the 1+1 Linear MSP protection subnet.
Prerequisites
Procedure

Step
Action

The default name is usually used, for example: 1+1_MSP_1.

Select "Revertive Mode" and "Switching Mode" as required.

For example, select "Revertive" and Single-Ended Switching.
Note:
1) Revertive Mode refers to the handling strategy adopted after the
faulty line resumes to normal.
2) Switching Mode refers to the switching strategy adopted after fault
occurs to the line.
3) Single-ended switching: The switching happens at the receive end
when the receive end goes faulty. Or the switching happens at the
transmit end when the transmit end goes faulty. In this way, the service
is protected.
4) Dual-ended switching: The switching happens at the receive and
transmit ends when either end goes faulty to protect the service.

6.4 Configuring SNCP Protection

Purpose
Set the SNCP node on the protection subnet to support the SNCP of different
protection subnets. The SNCP node can support the dual-fed and selectively receive,
thus implementing sub-network connection protection.
Generally, the incoming point and the outgoing point are created as the SNCP
nodes.
It is a kind of service-level protection. The principle is based on dual-fed at incoming
point and selectively receiving at the outgoing point.
Note:
You need to create SNCP node only when the NE software (the software of system
control unit) is 4.0 version. Refer to 4.7 Viewing Unit Version.
Prerequisites
Protection subnet has been created on the T2000.
6-20

Procedure
Step
Action
Right-click the NE to be created as the SNCP node, and select

[Create SNCP Node/CreateSNCP Nod] (. . . refers to the name
of the protection subnet of this NE).
If the creation is successful, the prompt message Creating SNCP

independent node succeeded. is displayed. Otherwise, the failure
prompt is displayed.

6.5.1 Creating Diverse Route PP
Purpose
Use this procedure to create the Two-Fiber Diverse Route PP protection subnet.
Prerequisites

6.6 Configuring DNI Protection

Purpose
DNI is shorted for the Dual Node Interconnection.
By creating the DNI protection subnet at the interworking nodes of the two rings, the
protection of the interworking service between two ring networks can be realized
though the network is composed of different vendors' equipment or in different
protection modes. Here is an example of how to create DNI protection, as shown
below:
NE1
NE4
NP CHAIN_2

Select [Protection Subnet/Create/DNI]. The Create DNI wizard is

displayed.

The default name is usually used, for example: DNI_1.
6-26

Step

6.9 Deleting Protection Subnet

Purpose
Use this procedure to delete created protection subnets.
Note:
If you want to delete a protection subnet which has been configured service, you
need to delete the service first.
Prerequisites
Make sure the protection subnet to delete has no any service.
Procedure
Method 1:
Step
Action
Select [View/Protection View] and select [Protection

Subnet/Protection Subnet Management] in the protection view.
6-35

Step
Action
Select protection subnets to delete, right-click it and select [Delete

from the NM] or [Deleted from the NE].
Note:
You can delete a protection subnet in one of the three manners below:
1) [Delete from the NM]: Delete relation between the protection subnet
and logical systems at the NE side, to allow deleting fibers,
re-uploading, and so on. This command is not delivered to the NE and
is not service-affecting. The deleted protection subnet can be located
by the searching feature. And the T2000 will locate it according to the
NE layer protection information.
2) [Delete from the NE]: Delete the protection subnet, logical systems
at the NE side and all traffic in the protection subnet. The deleted
protection subnet cannot be restored without being created again.
3) [Delete All from the NM]: Delete data other than fiber in the network
layer. Search the deleted protection subnet can be located by the
searching feature. It is not recommended because this option would
delete a large number of data. Choose this option with care.
Click <OK> to delete the protection subnet.
Method 2:
Step
Action
Select protection subnets to delete.
6-36

Step
Action
Select the protection subnet to delete, right-click it and select

[Delete Protection Subnet].
Click <OK> to delete the protection subnet.
