12 Configuring Clock Transmission

12.1 Overview
The OptiX BWS 1600G provides a clock transmission channel at PDH level. The clock is
accessed from the electrical interface on the subrack interface area. The system uses the
supervisory channel to transmit the clock synchronization signal, which is realized by the
ST1/ST2 board. On an OLA or OADM node, clocks can be transparently transmitted or
added/dropped. On an OTM node, clocks can be added/dropped.
For more details, refer to the OptiX BWS 1600G Backbone DWDM Optical Transmission
System Product Description.

12.2 Basic Operation

This section describes only the basic configuration of clock transmission.

Configuring Clock Output

Configuring the working route of the board clock

12.2.1 Configuring Clock Input

When configuring clock transparent transmission services at regenerators or transport
terminals in the WDM system, you need to configure the attributes of clock input.

Prerequisites
z

You must be an NM user with "NE and network operator" authority or higher.

Applies to the ST1 and ST2 boards.

Procedure
Step 1 In the NE Explorer, select a board and choose Configuration > Clock Configuration from
the Function Tree. Set the Input Mode parameter for the external clock source.

This parameter is only applicable to an external clock input port. Set this parameter only for the start
node of a clock transmission link.

Step 2 Set the Auto-Report When S1 Byte Unavailable parameter for the external clock source to
Enabled.

Configuration Guide

12 Configuring Clock Transmission

When this parameter is set to Enabled, the S1 byte is disabled upon a detection of clock loss. The
default value is Disabled, and usually you do not need to change it.

Step 3 Configure each service clock channel and determine whether to monitor the service clock
channel.

The parameter Use or Not determines whether the system monitors the input clock. It is intended for the
line input clock and external clock. It must be configured on each node in the clock transmission link.
Determine whether to use the clock source. Set the clock source that is not used to No. In this case, the
system does not monitor or process the clock source and, just like ports, unnecessary alarms and
performance events can be avoided. Set the clock source that is used to Yes. In this case, the system does
monitor and process the clock source.

Step 4 Click Apply. A prompt appears to indicate you that the operation was successful.
Step 5 Click Close.
Step 6 (Optional) Click Query to query the Existing Status and S1 Byte Received parameter
settings.

12.2.2 Configuring Clock Output

When configuring clock transparent transmission services at regenerators or transport
terminals in the WDM system, you need to configure the attributes of clock output.

Prerequisites
z

You must be an NM user with "NE and network operator" authority or higher.

Applies to the ST1 and ST2 boards.

Procedure
Step 1 In the NE Explorer, select a board and choose Configuration > Clock Configuration from
the Function Tree.
Step 2 Click the Output Attributes tab and click Query to query the clock output attributes.
Step 3 Set the Output Mode parameter for the external clock source.
This parameter is applicable to only an external clock output port. Set this parameter at the node with
clock output. The Output Mode of the service clock must be consistent with the Input Mode of the
service clock on other NEs.

Step 4 Click Apply. A prompt appears to indicate you that the operation was successful.
Step 5 Click Close.

12.2.3 Configuring the Working Route of the Service Clock

To pass through or add/drop clock signals at nodes in transmission link, you need to configure
the working route for clock services.

Prerequisites
z

You must be an NM user with "NE and network operator" authority or higher.

Applies to the ST1 and ST2 boards.

The ST1 board can be configured with four channels of output clock signals in which the
two channels of clock signals are received from the line and two channels of clock
signals are accessed externally.

The ST2 board can be configured with four channels of output clock signals chosen from
the four channels of clock signals received from the east and west directions and the two
channels of clock signals accessed externally.

Context

Procedure
Step 1 In the NE Explorer, select a board and choose Configuration > Clock Configuration from
the Function Tree.
Step 2 Click the Working Route tab. Click Query to query the working route parameter of the
service clock.
Step 3 Select an input clock from the Input Clock drop-down list. Select an output clock from the
button. The created working route is displayed in
Output Clock pane. Then click the
the Working Route pane. Repeat this step to create other working routes.
Step 4 Click Apply. A prompt appears to indicate you that the operation was successful.
Step 5 Click Close.

Unavailable

Disabled, Enabled

Decides whether to automatically report the S1 byte

unavailable event when the system detects loss of
clock.

Use or Not

Yes, No

Sets whether to use this clock source or not. Set the

clock source that is not used to No. In this case, the
system does not monitor or process the clock source
and, just like ports, unnecessary alarms and
performance events can be avoided.

S1 Byte

For example: Synchronization

quality is unknown

Displays the clock quality information expressed by the

S1 byte of the clock source.

Default: Disabled

12.4 Application Example

This chapter takes Project C that is configured with the clock transmission as an example to
describe how to configure the clock transmission.
For details on how to create topology and how to configure the WDM interface attributes of
boards, refer to Chapter 2 "Create the Network". This chapter focuses on the configuration of
clock transmission function only.

12.4.1 Description of Example

Project C is a chain consisting of three ONEs, which are named E, F and G.
ONEs E and G are OTM stations and ONE F is an OLA station.
A couple of STM-64 services channels are assigned at two transmit ends. The networking
architecture of it is shown in Figure 12-1.
Figure 12-1 Networking design diagram of Project C

: OTM

: OLA

One clock signal is transparently transmitted in the chain network. Figure 12-2 shows the
clock transmission design. Table 12-2 lists the working route of the clock in each station.
