PDH AND SDH

Cross-connection Types

› Basic cross connect types:

– Unidirectional unprotected point-to-point
– Bidirectional unprotected/protected point-to-point
– Unidirectional protected point-to-point of type "add"
– Unidirectional protected point-to-point of type "drop"
– Drop and Continue
› Broadcast Cross Connection
– Local broadcast, unprotected/protected
– Continue broadcast, unprotected
› Ring-to-ring Cross Connections with double add and drop

Cross-connections
› The Cross-connections within the NE have:
– Originating Point, named “A”;
– Terminating Point, named “B”
– Protecting point, named “P”

Adding Protection to Xconns

› As for SNCP, protection can be added to
– Bidirectional point-to-point
– Unidirectional point-to-point of type "add"
– Unidirectional point-to-point of type "drop“
– Local broadcast
– Continue broadcast

› Manual command and settings for
– SC: Management Tree -> shelf -> slot:1 -> Redundancy Information
– SM: Management Tree -> shelf -> slot:x -> eqprot
– MSP: Management Tree -> shelf -> slot:x -> port:x.y -> msp
– SNCP: Equipment -> Cross Connection Manager -> SNCP button
› Role swap for SNCP:
– Equipment -> Cross Connection Manager -> Tools -> SWAP
