2. System Architecture
Overview
This chapter provides a more detailed view of the system composition and the shelf
complements of the WaveStar ADM 16/1 Compact Transport System. The system
functions and circuit packs are described following the description of the system
architecture, the partitioning of the circuit packs in the system and the physical design.
Additional information is provided relating to protection and timing architecture.
Functional architecture
This very flexible product resulted from a great step forward in technology. Owing to the
high level of integration at circuit-pack level, within one subrack it is possible to Add/Drop
up to:
32 x 10 Base-T EtherNET LAN interface
8 x 100 Base-T EtherNET LAN interface
252 x 2 Mbit/s
48 x 34/DS-3 Mbit/s switchable unit (second release)
16 x STM-1 electrical (second release)
16 x STM-1 optical
16 x OC-3 (SONET)
2 x STM-4 (second release)
2 x STM-16
The WaveStar ADM 16/1 Compact is a multiplexer and transport system that
multiplexes a broad range of plesiochronous and synchronous signals into 2.5 Gbit/s
(STM-16) or 620 Mbit/s (STM-4). The method used to map the interface signals complies
with the ITU-T specified AU-4 mapping procedure. A special circuit pack is available to
support AU-3 (SONET) mapped signals and another special interface uni converts
EtherNET signals into SDH virtual Containers.
The system can be used as an add/drop multiplexer, terminal multiplexer or small IP-
switch. It provides built-in cross-connect facilities and flexible Interface circuit packs.
Local and remote management and control facilities are provided via the Q and F
interface and the embedded communication channels (DCC). The cross-connect circuit
pack is the core of the WaveStar ADM 16/1 system. An outline of the basic WaveStar
ADM 16/1 architecture is given in the next figure.

The line/cross-connect/Timing unit

The line/cross-connect/timing unit is the core of the WaveStar ADM 16/1 compact. The
unit contains three different functionalities, which are highly important to every multiplexer.
The cross-connect consists of two parts: a higher and a lower order cross-connect,
although physically the line/cross-connect/timing unit is a single circuit-pack.
The higher order cross-connect switches VC-4s and its capacity is 64 x 64. Other
functions of the higher order cross-connect are:
VC-4 SNC protection switching
MS-SPRing protection
STM-16 / STM-4 MSP
equipment protection of tributary slots
non-intrusive monitoring of VC-4s
Broadcasting.
The lower order cross-connect switches/grooms VC-3 and VC-12s and its capacity
currently ranges up to 2016 x 2016 VC-12s equivalents or 32 x 32 VC-4s. Other functions
of the lower order cross-connect are:
lower order SNCP protection
non-intrusive monitoring of lower order VCs
lower order broadcasting.
Tributary and line interfaces circuit packs are directly connected to the higher order cross-
connect via STM-1 equivalent signals (AU-4).
Higher- and lower order cross-connect parts are interconnected via an internal cross-
connect-bus of 32 bi-directional VC-4s wide. The lower order cross-connect itself is uni-
directional although traffic can be switched/protected bi-directionally (= default situation).
Higher order VC-4s arriving from line or tributary circuit packs need only to be routed
through the lower order matrix, if the lower order VC content needs to be groomed.
Otherwise, the VC-4 can be routed through the higher order cross-connect only.

Flexible routing and cross connecting of VC-4, VC-3 and VC-12 between line port line
port, line port tributary port and tributary port tributary port is possible.
The system architecture makes it possible to use an interface circuit pack in almost any
other slot position, hence the system becomes very flexible. A broad range of applications
can be served with the same shelf based on a common software platform.
Another basic function of the line/cross-connect/timing is timing the system/network
according to the timing philosophy of the network. The local oscillator, also called the SDH
equipment clock (SEC), can be synchronized to one of the user-selectable timing
references. The Stratum-3 version with approximately 0.37 ppm stability for the first
24hours of hold-over have been put as standard clock on the line/cross-connect unit.
The available timing modes are:
Free running
Hold-over
Locked with reference to:
one of the external sync. Inputs
one of the STM-N inputs
one of the 2 Mbit/s tributary inputs
To contribute to overall system reliability and availability, the line/cross-connect/timing
circuit pack can be 1 + 1 equipment protected by an accompanying circuit pack.
Circuit packs
The WaveStar ADM 16/1 Compact has a broad range of optical interface circuit packs.
The Line Ports can be equipped with STM-16 units with 1310 nm or 1550 nm (Long Haul)
or STM-4 with 1310 nm Long Haul.
All optical packs are equipped with a universal build-out optical connector type, allowing
the connector type to FC/PC or SC to be changed on-site depending on the customer
needs.
STM-16 optical line port units 4
L-16.1 (1310 nm, ITU-T G.957; 10-24 dB)
L-16.2 (1550 nm, ITU-T G.957; 10-25 dB)
Two simple WDM couplers can be mounted in the system to allow single fiber. It allows to
combine the optical signals from the line interfaces of the WaveStar ADM 16/1 Compact
systems, when one system operates in the 1310 nm region and the other in the 1550 nm
region, so that the optical signals travel in the same direction.
STM-4 optical line port unit:
L-4.2 (1550 nm, ITU-T G.957; 0-22 dB)

E3 and DS-3 switchable: 34 and 45 Mbit/s with 12 interfaces per circuit pack
STM-1: 155 Mbit/s with 4 interfaces per circuit pack
EtherNET LAN: 10/100 Base-T with 8 (10 Base-T) or 2 (100 Base-T) interfaces
per circuit pack.

System control and management
The SC communicates with the centralized management system (ITM-SC and ITM-NM).
A part of the SC, routing management information between SDH equipment and the
element management system, is called data packet switch (DPS). Communication is
established via so-called data communication channels (DCC) (= D1-3/D4-12 bytes),
within the STM-N section overhead signals or via one of the Q-interfaces of the system.
Information destined for the local system is routed to the System Controller, while other
information is routed from the node via the appropriate embedded channels of the STM-N
line or tributary signals.
The ITM-SC manages the WaveStar ADM 16/1 Compact at the element level and the
ITM-NM manages the system at the network level. The ITM-Craft Interface Terminal (ITM-
CIT) can be used for managing small networks and for maintenance.

Shelf Complements
The WaveStar ADM16/1 Compact consists of the following 8 slots (from the left to the
right, see figure below):
2 slots for the core units (width=100mm each), each containing a line interface (STM-
4 or STM-16) and timing and cross connect functionality.
5 slots for tributary units (width=35mm each)
1 slot for the controller unit (width=35mm)
All optical interfaces will have front access on the units. Front access to electrical
interfaces is done via I/O modules that are mounted below the subrack.
The 5th tributary slot is reserved for 1:N equipment protection when using electrical
2MBit/s or STM-1e tributary units. It can also be used for unprotected STM-1o interfaces.
LAN and E3/DS3 units are not allowed in tributary slot 5.
The timing and cross connect parts of the core units are 1+1 equipment protected.
The total external subrack size (width x depth x height) is:
450mm x 260mm x 625mm (with optical interfaces and/or LAN I/O modules only),
resulting in maximum 3 systems per rack
450mm x 260mm x 925mm (with 2MBit/s I/O modules), resulting in maximum 2
systems per rack
Reliability and Lifetime
A lifetime of 15 years is guaranteed in an ETSI Class 3.1 Environment. The reliability of

the characterized by the Mean Time Between Failures (MBTF). The MTBF of the
WaveStar ADM 16/1 Compact will be longer than 2.5 years in a fully equipped 2Mbit/s
system.
To guarantee service availability a variety of traffic protection mechanisms are supported
by the WaveStar ADM 16/1 Compact:

Path protection or SNC/n and SNC/I (subnetwork connection with Non-& intrusive
monitoring) for higher and lower order VCs
Multiplex Section Shared Protection Ring or MS-SPRing (selective) at STM-16 level

3. Applications
Overview
The WaveStar ADM16/1 Compact is a highly flexible product capable of supporting a

variety of network applications
It is designed to support a wide range of applications like bandwidth access, service-on-
demand and LAN services.
The WaveStar ADM16/1 Compact can be applied in all three tiers of a network, that is:
Access, Regional and Backbone. Mainly the Access network is the places of the
WaveStar ADM 16/1 Compact. The system allows for growth and changing service
needs by supporting in-service conversions and upgrades. Inherent to its basic design, the
system operates equally well within fully synchronous as a-synchronous environments and
provides a flexible link between the two.
The WaveStar ADM16/1 can be configured in such a way that it supports a large variety
of network applications:
TransLAN (EtherNET Packets over SDH)
Ring Access Node with STM-1o interfaces
Dual Node Interworking (DNI)
Dual Homing of STM-1 access rings
STM-4 ring or point-to-point topologies
SONET/SDH applications

TransLAN
The TransLAN option cards are available for the WaveStar ADM16/1 Compact as
well as for the WaveStar AM 1 Plus. The WaveStar AM1 Plus is an extremely
compact and cost-effective STM-1 multiplexer which is especially designed for low-to
medium fill STM-1 links from customer premises to access networks and provides up to
thirty-two 2 Mbit/s ports.
Together with the WaveStar ADM16/1 Compact, a total solution can be configured for
small, medium and large business environments. The figure below gives an example of
how to implement TransLAN.
Using an ADM16/1C with the TransLAN at the Head Office (ISP) and AM1+ at the
Branch Offices create a Direct Access for Data services. It eliminates the need for
DS/CSUs or interface converters between end-users data equipment and SDH network,
thus providing significant cost savings on equipment and operation costs.

bandwidth
TransLAN provides at minimal equipment investment very attractive services to the end
customers, like:
Scaleable bandwidth without having to change interfaces
A transparent LAN service that hides the complexity of the WAN for end users (a
WAN that looks like a LAN)
High availability LAN service because of end to end SDH protection switching

Ring Access Node with STM-1o Interfaces
The WaveStar ADM16/1 Compact acts as a hub node for AM-1 rings. It also supports
point-to-point connections to WaveStar AM-1 with STM-1o 1+1 MSP or unprotected
point-to-point STM-1o connections with WaveStar TM-1 equipment. The WaveStar
ADM16/1 Compact itself is hosted by a WaveStar ADM16/1 in either a ring with
(selective) MS Spring protection or with VC-4 SNC/N protection.

Dual Node Interworking
In networks where there are multiple ring configurations, Dual Node Interworking is a
feature in the WaveStar ADM16/1, WaveStar ADM 16/1C and the WaveStar 10G
that adds value to the network.
The MS-SPRing protection mechanism offers very efficient protection. But, the protection
span is limited to a single ring network. In multi-ring networks there is need for a
mechanism to couple ring networks in a way that avoids single points of failure, to allow
longer end-to-end protected paths. This mechanism is called Dual Node Interworking with
Drop & Continue.
Dual Node Interworking with Drop and Continue is a mechanism described in ITU-T
Recommendation G.842. It is realized by connecting the two networks in question in two
different locations in such a way that if one location fails completely, the traffic can still
reach the other network via the second interconnection.
The WaveStar ADM-16/1 supports two different DNI configurations:
1. Between two MS-SPRing rings. The ring interconnection consists in this case of four
network elements. Two network elements in each ring which are pair wise connected.
2. Between an STM-16 MS-SPRing ring and a LO-SNC protected subnetwork. In this
case the interconnect can be built with just two nodes, which are connected to the
MS-SPRing via the aggregate interfaces and to the SNC protected network via the
tributary interfaces.
The advantages of using this mechanism are:
Protected interconnection between MS-SPRing rings possible, thus allowing longer
end-to-end protected spans, without single point of failure on each ring interconnect.
Possibility to interconnect the MS-SPRing scheme to the SNCP scheme, without
introducing a single point of failure. This allows the user the flexibility to use the
protection scheme of choice in each network part, while avoiding double protection.
Independence of the protection mechanisms in different network parts, which results
in protection switches relatively close to the failure, so in principle easier to fault-
locate.
A higher availability compared to end-to-end SNCP protection schemes. Especially on
very long connections, more protection against multiple failure is provided (as long as
there is at most one failure per protected sub-network).
The MS-SPRing part of the DNI scheme allows for each individual VC-4, the assignment
of primary and secondary add and drop nodes. Dropped traffic is broadcasted to both
primary and secondary outputs (drop & continue), while a selector in the primary node
selects whether the added traffic from the primary of from the secondary node is
forwarded onto the MS-SPRing. This selector is usually called a service selector is non-
revertive and operates according to the VC-4 SNC/N criteria.
The following features are supported:
The traffic between the primary and secondary node in the MS-SPRing can be
transported over worker capacity or over protection capacity, called continue over
worker and continue over protection respectively. The latter option saves bandwidth
but leads to slightly lower availability and precludes extra traffic to make use of that
same capacity.
Both VC-4 and VC-4-4c payloads can be handled.
Primary and Secondary nodes can be selected for each VC-4 transported over the
MS-SPRing, both at the entry and at the exit side. These nodes need not be adjacent.

Dual Homing of STM-1 Access Ring

An STM-1 ring with AM-1 equipment can be dual homed on a ring consisting of
WaveStar ADM16/1 Compact and ADM16/1 equipment.
The WaveStar ADM 16/1 Compact Transport System supports a mix of 2, 34/ 45 Mbit/s
and STM-1 tributary speed interface inputs and outputs. It is possible to mix these
interfaces in the same subrack for all platforms. Also, a circuit can enter a WaveStar
ADM 16/1 Compact network through one type and exit through another type (if the
payload that is being carried is compatible with both interface types). Mixing is supported
not only within a Terminal, but also between Terminals.
These capabilities offer more efficient network evolution and allow planners to improve
their equipment deployment based on the needs of the particular Application. For
example, network needs (sudden demand) may require SDH deployment in one area
before others.
This huge flexibility and add/drop capability makes that the ADM16/1C has a unique
position in the market.

SONET/SDH
Based on SDH technology the WaveStar ADM16/1, which was released in 1998,
targeted to be sold globally. To serve Global demand, a technology only based on SDH is
not enough. In countries like the United States of America, Canada, Venezuela and
Japan, SONET is the used transport protocol.
In order to provide end-to-end leased line services between the SONET countries and the
SDH countries, conversion of SDH into SONET and vice versa is a must. The reasons for
this is:
Interconnection at the SONET/SDH level preserves the overhead information, which
makes it possible to do end-to-end Quality of Service monitoring.
The alternative is interconnection at the PDH level (which of course breaks the end-to-end
SDH overhead). However, when more and more often data traffic is mapped directly into
SDH, this option is no longer present.
Already from its first release, the WaveStar ADM16/1 is capable to interwork with
SONET based networks. This allows global operators to truly build a single global
network, interconnect SONET and SDH networks together.
SONET/SDH interworking is possible on the optical signals STM-1 (OC-3) and STM-4,
and on PDH signals like E3 and DS-3 or E1 and DS-1.
The SONET/SDH conversion is based on VC-3 and is currently available on the STM-0,
STM-1 and STM-4 optical tributary:
1 1
OC-N STS- VC-4 AU-4 AUG STM-

3 3 3 N
1
AU-3 TU-3 TUG-3
1 1
VC-3
SONET/SDH conversion could be required when an end-to-end service is requested

globally from one place in the SONET domain to a place in the SDH domain or vice versa.
An example would be the transportation of a DS-3 signal in a VC-3 from New York
(SONET Domain) to London (SDH domain) and vice versa.

LBO
Line Build Out - An optical attenuator that guarantees the proper signal level and shape at the Receiver input.
Line
An optical transmission line. Line refers to a transmission medium, together with the associated high speed
equipment, required to provide the means of transporting information between two consecutive Network
element, one of which originates the line signal and the other terminates the line signal.

Nanometer (10 meter)
Non-revertive switching
In non-revertive switching, there is a active and standby high speed line, circuit pack, etc. When a protection
switch occurs, the standby line, circuit pack, etc., is selected causing the old standby line, circuit pack, etc., to
be used for the new active line, circuit pack, etc. The original active line, circuit pack, etc., becomes the standby
line, circuit pack, etc. This status remains in effect when the fault clears. Therefore, this protection scheme is
non-revertive in that there is no switch back to the original status in effect before the fault occurred.

Node
A node or Network Element is defined as all equipment that is controlled by one system controller
O
OAM&P
Operations, Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning
Operation Interface
Any interface providing you with information on the system behavior or control. These include the equipment

Phase Locked
See Externally Timed
Platform
A platform is a family of equipment and software configurations designed to support a particular Application.

R
Revertive Switching
In revertive switching, there is a working and protection high speed line, circuit pack, etc. When a protection
