Introduction
The 7300 equipment is certified by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF). MEF cer-
tification is the globally recognized and trusted reference for Carrier Ethernet equip-
ment standardization.
The 7300 equipment achieved MEF 9 and MEF 14 certifications, refer to the MEF
Carrier Ethernet Certification. Together, MEF 9 and MEF 14 certifications cover all
the Carrier Ethernet service attributes defined in the MEF technical speci- fication.
• Dispersion tolerant transponders.
6

• Transponders with tunable lasers for wavelength changes without the need to swap
plug-in cards, thus enabling simplified installation and commissioning, as well as,
easier handling of spare parts.

tion), including remote management from network site via a Generic Communication
Channel (GCC).

– Web-based Craft Terminal (@CT).
• Coriant TransNet for simplified and comprehensive network design on a geograph-
ical map, including cost optimization.
2.3 Applications
The 7300 can be used in any kind of network topology, including:
• Transparent photonic point-to-point topologies.

h bands/frequency spacing
The 7300 suppororts 40-channel (with 100 GHz frequency spacing), 80 0-channel and
96-channel (with 50 GHz frequency spacing) DWDM transmission systems
sys within the C-
band. The use off a 40-channel, 80-channel or 96-channel plan strictlyy depends of the
customer’s needss and network application.
The 40-channel ffrequency/wavelength plan allows a very flexible network
ne design for
various End-of-Liife (EOL) optical channel counts from 4 to 40 channe
nnels in steps of 4
channel sub-band
bands.
Table 5 lists the 40-channel
4 frequency/wavelength plan of 7300 using
g 40 channels in
C-Band with 100 GHz channel spacing. These frequencies/wavelengtths are also
referred to as stand
andard frequency grid.

Introduction
Table 6 lists the 80-channel frequency/wavelength plan for 7300 using 80 channels in
the C-Band with 50 GHz of channel spacing. These frequencies/wavelengths are
created by the combination of the 40-channel standard frequency grid with the inter-
leaved set of a 40-channel offset frequency grid.

There are several possibilities to build up systems with different channel numbers at the
t Begin-of-Life (BOL) or at the EOL, therefore allowing cost-efficient system configura-
tions during the complete system’s life cycle.
The channel upgrade is handled via Coriant TransNet network planning software.
Coriant TransNet supplies all the information about the channel upgrade order (see
chapter 7.1).
For Advanced Power Control (APC) systems an extended wavelength plan exists with
two options, one that is limited to 80 traffic channels but includes Transient Suppression
Channels (TSChs) and another one that provides 96 traffic channels.
Table 7 lists the 80/96-channel frequency/wavelength plan for 7300 APC systems
using 80/96 channels in the C-Band with 50 GHz of channel spacing.

System functions
3 System functions
This chapter describes important system functions of the 7300 system.
For instructions on how to configure and operate many of the features described in this
chapter, please refer to the Operating Manual (OMN).
The LSB rings are achieved by interconnecting, according to Coriant TransNet cable
g report, all the shelves of the NE via APSD cables.
19
System functions
The removal of one, or more, APSD cables will trigger laser safety shut-down mecha-
nisms and consequentially lead to traffic loss.
The ALS must not be used in networks using Enhanced Power Control. The ALS has
t always to be disabled on the line side of ONN NEs.
Whenever the terms "Link" and "Span" are mentioned they refer to an Optical Multiplex
t Section and an Optical Transmission Section respectively, in accordance with ITU-T
G.872.
The 7300 system includes automatic control algorithms for performance optimiza- tion
of all-optical transport networks, in order to achieve a maximum transmission reach and
bandwidth over optical fibers without electrical regeneration at minimum Capital
Expenditure (CAPEX), accompanied with outstanding support for automated network
commissioning for minimum Operational Expenditure (OPEX).

They support:
• The following card types:
– Controller cards.
– Line amplifier cards with booster and pre-amplifier capabilities.
– Filter cards.
– Channel power monitor card.
– Dispersion compensation module cards.
– Transponder cards.
– Optical channel protection card.
• Raman amplification together with one line amplifier card.
• Nodal degree of one (supported by ONN-T subtype NE) up to eight (supported, for
example, by ONN-X subtype NE), with a maximum of eight bidirectional OSC termi-
nations. An upgrade of a lower to higher nodal degree is possible without traffic
impact. Two bidirectional OSCs are terminated within one shelf, and an additional
shelf is needed for the next two additional OSC terminations.
• Link control termination for all terminated links.
• Power reduction to class 1M for laser safety on line (APSD) and inside the NE
(APRM), with and without Raman amplification.
t The ONN NE subtype definition is done via Network Element Configuration File (NCF).
The 7300 system can cover all practical network applications by combining only four
basic filter card types, therefore offering a great simplicity to the network planning and
an ability to grow the network over time.
The four basic filter card types (F04MDN-1, F04MDU-1, F08SB-1 and F16SB-1) provide
a Flexible OADM arcecture with EOL capacity of 12 to 40 channels in steps of four
channels (to the ONN-T and ONN-I).
For FullAccess OADM arcectures, the ONN-R NEs can use one of the three filter
cards (F40-1, F40V-1 and F40MR-1), specifically designed for a full add/drop of 40
channels.
The optical multiplexing/demultiplexing in the 80 channels NEs is performed by combin-
ing two frequency-interleaved subsets of 40 channels, each using 100 GHz frequency
spacing in a standard frequency grid (192.1 +n*0.1 THz) and an offset frequency grid
(192.05 +n*0.1 THz), respectively.

This chapter provides an overview of the mechanical features of 7300 shelves,
racks, and cards.
For information about the supported cards by 7300, see chapter 5.
6.1 Racks
The 7300 standard shelves are mounted in ANSI, standard or 7300 ETSI racks. One
rack can accommodate up to three shelves. The flatpack shelves can be mounted in
19’’ racks as well.
The standard ETSI racks can only be used in OLR NEs due to the small usable cabling
t space in front of the rack beams.

6.3 Cards
Important features of the
7300 cards are:
• Cards are installed in the shelf’s 16-slot card area (displayed in Figure 116). Slots
are numbered 001 to 016, from left-to-right.
• Slots 001 to 015 are all 30 mm wide and are dedicated to traffic cards. Many of the
7300 traffic cards occupy only one 30 mm slot, while others span multiple con-
tiguous slots. These slots are not card specific.
• Slot 016 is 40 mm wide. Only controller cards can be installed in slot 016. The
CCEP-2 controller card is 70 mm wide and thus occupies slots 015 and 016 (see
chapter 6.4.4). The CCEP-3/CCSP-3 controller cards cannot be installed directly in
the slot and are connected using a controller redundancy carrier board (CRCB-1).
The CRCB-1 provides two sub-slots, so two CCEP-3/CCSP-3 cards can be installed
in slot 016. When CRCB-1 is installed an extra slot, slot 017, is then available.
• Coded connectors prevent inadvertently installing a traffic card in the controller card
slot or vice-versa.
• Optical connectors, network management connectors, control elements, and LEDs
are mounted on the front panels of the card for easy access. Optical connectors are
LC/PC type.
• Each plug-in card is securely held in the shelf via two captive screws. For easy
removal (after the captive screws are loosened), each card is equipped with top and
bottom extraction levers that aid in disengaging the card from its backplane connec-
tor.
• Blank panels must be installed when a shelf is not fully equipped with cards. All
empty slots must be equipped with a blank panel.
