sections:
Introduction
Characteristics
Features
Networking applications
Ordering information
1.1 Introduction
The RAX711-L is a 1000 Mbit/s intelligent Transport Network (iTN) terminal that supports
Circuit Emulation Service (CES). It meets requirements on carrying multiple services through
the Packet Transport Network (PTN).
As a PTN terminal, the RAX711-L can be connected uplink to Raisecom iTN200/iTN2000
series devices or PTN devices from other vendors. It provides a complete intelligent group
service access scheme and mobile backhaul scheme, thus realizing management and control
of services on the entire network.
1.2 Characteristics
1.2.1 Multi-service access
The RAX711-L is based on the Pseudo Wire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3) frame and
provides abundant interfaces. It can meet requirements on accessing multiple services through
PTN, Internet Protocol Radio Access Network (IP RAN), and Ethernet.
The RAX711-L supports circuit emulation and MPLS-TP. It can be connected to the
local TDMoP emulation device to transmit leased line access services.
The RAX711-L provides four Ethernet interfaces for transmitting Ethernet leased access
services.
Some RAX711-L provides four RJ45 interfaces or one E1 interface (DB37). You can
choose the proper device model based on the real network situation.
With flexible software configurations, the RAX711-L can work as a leased line access
client-side device connected to the PTN.
The RAX711-L is a small and compact device. It supports multiple power supply modes,
such as 220 VAC and -48 VDC. It can be placed in the telecommunication room or in the
device room that has higher requirements on power supply and space.
In synchronous Ethernet, the device extracts clock signals from physical links or the external
BITS interface. The device selects the clock signal of the best quality as the local clock and
sends it to downstream devices through UNIs. Therefore, upstream and downstream clocks
are cascaded and clocks are synchronized. It can provide highly-accurate clock
synchronization signals for mobile backhaul services.
The RAX711-L supports the following 4 clock sources:
External clock source (a device with the clock sub-card): 2 Mbit/s or 2 MHz clock
signals accessed from the external clock source device through the external clock
interface on the RAX711-L
Line clock source of the uplink NNI: 25 MHz clock signals extracted from line signals
connected to the NNI
Line clock source of the TDM interface: 2 MHz clock signals extracted from line signals
connected to the E1 interface
Local clock source: clock signals provided by the inner crystal oscillator of the RAX711-
L
Ethernet protection
Support interface backup. The uplink NNI can realize 1:1 dual-homed protection
switching.
Support interface-based failover. In the dual-uplink connection network, when the main
link fails, the system will inform the downstream devices. Therefore, downstream
devices can switch the link.
Support ITU-T G.8031 Ethernet Linear Protection Switching (ELPS) 1:1 bidirectional
protection switching. When the working link fails, both ends communicate through
Automatic Protection Switching (APS) protocol and then switch services to the
protection link simultaneously to transmit and receive services.
Support ITU-T G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS). When a fault occurs
on the Ethernet ring, services are switched to the protection link quickly to recover
services. Support 3 networking modes: single ring, intersecting ring, and tangent ring.
Support Ethernet interface link aggregation group protection based the load sharing
mode, including manual link aggregation and static Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP) link aggregation. The protection switching time is smaller than 200ms.
Support loopback detection, which ensures no loop in the network and stable network
status.
Support Access Control List (ACL), Remote Authentication Dial In User Service
(RADIUS), and Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+), which
enhance the security of the network and the RAX711-L.
Support Loss Of Signal (LOS) and Dying Gasp alarm, temperature anomaly alarm, and
undervoltage/overvoltage detection and alarm, which facilitate discovering network
faults and taking related actions.

Item Description
4.3 Terms
A 1+1 protection architecture has one normal traffic signal, one
working transport entity, one protection transport entity, and a
permanent bridge.
At the source end, the normal traffic signal is permanently bridged
1+1 protection to both the working and the protection transport entities. At the sink
end, the normal traffic signal is selected from the better of the two
transport entities.
Due to the permanent bridging, the 1+1 protection architecture does
not allow an unprotected extra traffic signal to be provided.
A FE standard for twisted-pair cables. Fast Ethernet refers to any
network that supports transmission rate of 100Mbits/s. The Fast
Ethernet is 10 times faster than 10BaseT, and inherits frame format,
MAC addressing scheme, MTU, and so on. Fast Ethernet is
100BASE-T
extended from the IEEE802.3 standard, and it uses the following
three types of transmission media: 100BASE-T4: 4 pairs of phone
twisted-pair cables 100BASE-TX: 2 pairs of data twisted-pair cables
100BASE-FX: 2-core optical fibers.
100BASE-TX makes use of two pairs of twisted pair cable. One pair
100BASE-TX is used for transmission and the other pair is used for reception.
Both the STP cable and Cat 5 UTP cable are allowed.
A

address, source IP address, destination IP address, interface ID, etc.
List (ACL)
The device decides to receive or refuse the packets based on these
rules.
The interface automatically chooses the rate and duplex mode
according to the result of negotiation. The auto-negotiation process
is: the interface adapts its rate and duplex mode to the highest
Auto-negotiation
performance according to the peer interface, that is, both ends of the
link adopt the highest rate and duplex mode they both support after
auto-negotiation.
APS is used to monitor transport lines in real time and automatically

Protection through APS, services on the working line can be automatically
Switching (APS) switched to the protection line, thus the communication is recovered
in a short period.
B
Times of signal changes every second on a transmission link. In
general, there are only two types of signal status, so the baud rate is
Baud rate the number of bits transmitted every second. Since lower-layer
transmission will occupy some bandwidth, so user data are not
necessarily transmitted according to the rated baud rate.
C
The Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) network adopts the
hierarchical master-slave synchronization mode. Namely, a Primary
Clock Reference Clock (PRC) controls clock synchronization on the entire
synchronism network through synchronization links. A series of hierarchical
clocks are used and clocks at each hierarchy are synchronized to the
clocks at the upper or same hierarchy.

centralized management of IP addresses.
F
Failover provides an interface linkage scheme, extending the range
of link backup. Through monitoring upstream links and
synchronizing downstream links, faults of the upstream device can
Failover be transferred quickly to the downstream device, and
primary/backup switching is triggered. In this way, it avoids traffic
loss because the downstream device does not sense faults of the
upstream link.

With link aggregation, multiple physical Ethernet interfaces are
combined to form a logical aggregation group. Multiple physical
links in one aggregation group are taken as a logical link. Link
Link Aggregation aggregation helps share traffic among member interfaces in an
aggregation group. In addition to effectively improving the
reliability on links between devices, link aggregation can help gain
greater bandwidth without upgrading hardware.
Link Aggregation
A protocol used for realizing link dynamic aggregation. The
Control Protocol
LACPDU is used to exchange information with the peer device.
(LACP)
Link Aggregation Multiple physical Ethernet interfaces are combined to form a LAG,
Group (LAG) which increases the bandwidth and realizes load balancing.
Loopback It is the process that a signal is sent out and then sent back to the
sender. It is used to detect and analyze potential faults in a ring
network.
M
MEP is an edge node of a service instance. MEPs can be used to
Maintenance
send and process CFM packets. The MA and the MD where MEP
associations End
locates decide the VLAN and the level for packets received and sent
Point (MEP)
by MEP.
Maintenance MIP is the internal node of a service instance, which is
association automatically created by the device. MIP cannot actively send CFM
Intermediate Point packets but can forward and respond to Link Trace Message (LTM)
(MIP) and LoopBack Message (LBM).
Mapping A virtual data corresponding relationship
A high-speed computer network which connects multiple LANs
within the effective distance in the urban region. The coverage of
Metropolitan Area
MAN is larger than that of LAN and smaller than that of WAN. The
Network (MAN)
transmission medium is fiber and the MAN can be used as the
backbone network.
It is used to solve communication problems from BTS to BSC for
2G and from Node B to RNC for 3G.
In 2G times, mobile backhaul is realized through TDM microwave
or SDH/PDH device since voice services play a primary role and
there is no high requirement on the bandwidth.
Mobile Backhaul In 3G times, IP services are involved since lots of data services like
HSPA and HSPA+ exist, and voice services tend to change to IP
services, that is, IP RAN. To solve mobile backhaul problems of IP
RAN, you need to establish a backhaul network, which can meet
requirements on both data backhaul and voice transmission over IP
(clock synchronization).
Multi-mode Fiber In this fiber, multi-mode optical signals are transmitted.
O
The work done by light within a time unit
Optical power Units of optical power include mW and dBm, of which the former is
a linear unit and the latter is a logarithmic unit. The relationship
between the two units is: P(dBm)=10Log(P(mW)/1mW)
P
In data communication field, packet is the data unit for switching
and transmitting information. In transmission, it will be
continuously encapsulated and decapsulated. The header is used to
Packet
define the destination address and source address. The trailer
contains information indicating the end of the packet. The payload
data in between is the actual packet.
In packet switching network, data is partitioned into multiple data
segments. The data segment is encapsulated by control information,
such as, destination address, to form the switching packet. The
Packet Switching switching packet is transmitted to the destination in the way of
storage-forwarding in the network. Packet switching is developed
based on the storage-forwarding method and has merits of both
circuit switching and packet switching.
Protection It is a feature of transport entities. It can transmit traffic of a failed
switching device or link to another device or link, which is a bidirectional
feature. After you establish M protection lines for N (1 ≤ M ≤ N)
working lines, when the working line fails, one of the M protection
lines is determined according to the usage of locally saved
protection lines and protocol signaling transmission, to replace the
working line.
Q
802.1Q in 802.1Q (QinQ), also called Stacked VLAN or Double
VLAN, is extended from 802.1Q and defined by IEEE 802.1ad
recommendation. This VLAN feature allows the equipment to add a
VLAN tag to a tagged packet. The implementation of QinQ is to add
a public VLAN tag to a packet with a private VLAN tag, making the
QinQ packet encapsulated with two layers of VLAN tags. The packet is
forwarded over the ISP's backbone network based on the public
VLAN tag and the private VLAN tag is transmitted as the data part
of the packet. In this way, the QinQ feature enables the transmission
of the private VLANs to the peer end transparently. There are two
QinQ types: basic QinQ and selective QinQ.
A network security mechanism, used to solve problems of network
delay and congestion. When the network is overloaded or congested,
Quality of Service QoS can ensure that packets of important services are not delayed or
(QoS) discarded and the network runs high efficiently. Depending on the
specific system and service, it may relate to jitter, delay, packet loss
ratio, bit error ratio, and signal-to-noise ratio.

Evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), which provides
Tree Protocol
improvements in the speed of convergence for bridged networks
(RSTP)
Relative Humidity The percentage of absolute humidity and saturated humidity in the
(RH) air within a certain period
S
The minimum average input optical power received by the optical
Sensitivity receiver when the frame loss rate of the fiber transceiver is zero in
full-load data traffic conditions
T
A technique used in best-effort delivery systems to prevent packets
that loop endlessly. The TTL is set by the sender to the maximum
Time To Live
time the packet is allowed to be in the network. Each router in the
(TTL)
network decrements the TTL field when the packet arrives, and
discards any packet if the TTL counter reaches zero.
TDM is a method of transmitting multiple independent signals
Time Division (digitalized data, voice, or video signals) over a common signal path
Multiplexing by means of synchronized switches at each end of the transmission
(TDM) line so that each signal appears on the line only a fraction of time in
an alternating pattern.
Topology Topology includes routes and devices, describing the
interconnection relationship among network nodes. It also refers to
the network structure in general sense, that is, the physical layout of
connected devices.
V
Network scheme in which portions of a network are connected via
the Internet, but information sent across the Internet is encrypted.
The result is a virtual network that is also part of a larger network
Virtual Private
entity. This enables corporations to provide telecommuters and
Network (VPN)
mobile professionals with local access to their corporate network or
to another ISP network. VPNs are possible because of technologies
and standards such as tunneling, screening, encryption, and IPsec.
