1 Configuring SDH/PDH Services by Using the Trail Management

Function
The trail management function provides end-to-end service configuration between NEs. This section
describes how to configure SDH/PDH services by using the trail management function on the T2000.
On the OptiX iManager T2000, SDH/PDH services can be configured as follows:

By using the trail management function.

By using the single station configuration. This method is used to configure services on a single NE
in sequence. The service must be capable of being added to/dropped from the NEs at two ends
and passed through the middle NEs.
NOTE:

You need to obtain the license for the trail management function. Otherwise, you can only use the

station configuration function.

NOTE:
The OptiX OSN 3500 is taken as an example in this section. For the OptiX OSN 3500T, OptiX OSN
2500 and the OptiX OSN 1500A/B, the trail is created in the same way, except for that the boards
configured, the slots, and the timeslots are different.
NOTE:
Before you configure the services, you need to query the remaining available resource by using Trail >
Resource Statistics > TU Port Resource Statistics .
Creating a VC-4 Server Trail

The VC-4 server trail is used to carry the VC-12/VC-3 services. Before configuring the VC-12/VC-3
services, create the VC-4 server trail. You do not need to create a VC-4 server trail for VC-4
services.
Creating a VC-12 Trail

This section describes how to configure a VC-12 trail.

Creating a VC-3 Trail

This section describes how to configure a VC-3 trail.

1.1 Creating a VC-4 Server Trail

The VC-4 server trail is used to carry the VC-12/VC-3 services. Before configuring the VC-12/VC-3
services, create the VC-4 server trail. You do not need to create a VC-4 server trail for VC-4 services.

3. Select the source NE and sink NE. Double-click the NE in the topology view on the right, and
select the source NE (NE1) and sink NE (NE2). If you double-click the NE again, this action can

4. Click Set Route Timeslot, set the Timeslot of the trail to 1, and then click OK. Select AutoCalculation, and the route information is displayed in the route information table. The trail
marked with an arrow is displayed between the source NE and the sink NE in the topology view
on the right.
5. Click the General Attributes tab, and set the following parameters.

Name: NE1-NE2-VC4 Server Trail-0001

ID: 1

6. Select Activate the trail and Copy after Creation, and click Apply. A message is displayed
indicating that the trail is created successfully. Click Close.
7. In the Copy dialog box, select the following parameters.

Source: NE1-12-N2SL16-1(SDH-1)-2 to NE1-12-N2SL16-1(SDH-1)-8

Sink: NE2-7-N2SL16-1(SDH-1)-2 to NE2-7-N2SL16-1(SDH-1)-8

8. Click Add.
9. Set the Specify the start timeslot to 2. Set The start value of the trail name suffix to 2. Select
Activated. Click OK to create the second to eighth VC-4 server trails.
10. For adjacent NEs, such as NE2 and NE3, NE3 and NE4, NE4 and NE1, NE4 and NE5, create
corresponding service trails by repeating steps 18.

Protection resource: When creating

trails, the following resources are
available: SNCP, non-protection,
1+1, the protection timeslots of
MSP, and the protection timeslots of
1:1. Select this option to create
trails.
Extra resource: When creating
trails, the following resources are
available: non-protection, 1+1, the
extra timeslots of MSP, and the
extra timeslots of 1:1. Select this
option to create extra trails.
All resources: When creating trails,
the following resources are
available: SNCP, non-protection,
1+1, the extra timeslots of MSP, the
protection timeslots of 1:1, and the
extra timeslots of 1:1. If you choose
this option, it means that all the
resources can be used. If you
choose this option, you can create a
trail that uses the extra timeslots of
MSP. But if you choose the other
two options, you cannot create such
a trail.

The strategy of protection subnet

selection indicates the types of
protection subnets that should be
selected when creating trails.
