Substitution Relationship

Original Substitute Board Substitution Rules

Board

TN11OLP TN12OLP/TN13OLP In single mode, the TN12OLP can substitute

for the TN11OLP. For the substitution,
upgrade the NE software to OptiX OSN 6800
V100R004C01 or a later version, upgrade
the NE software to OptiX OSN 3800
V100R004C01 or a later version, or upgrade
the NE software to OptiX OSN 8800
V100R002C00 or a later version.

In the case of single mode, the TN13OLP03

board can substitute for the TN11OLP01
board. The TN13OLP board can be created as
OLP on the NMS to substitute for the
TN11OLP board. The board substitution does
not require software upgrade.
NOTE:
When a system control board is installed in slot IU2 of the
8800 Universal Platform Subrack subrack, the TN13OLP
board cannot be installed in slot IU1. Therefore, if a
TN11OLP board is installed in slot IU1 and a system
control board is installed in slot IU2 of the 8800 Universal
Platform Subrack subrack, the TN13OLP board cannot
substitute for the TN11OLP board.
 Original Substitute Board Substitution Rules
Board

TN12OLP TN13OLP The TN13OLP03 board can substitute for the

TN12OLP01, TN12OLP02, TN12OLP03, or
TN12OLP06 board.
The TN13OLP04 board can substitute for the
TN12OLP04 or TN12OLP07 board.
The TN13OLP board can be created as 12OLP
on the NMS to substitute for the TN12OLP
board. The board substitution does not
require software upgrade.
NOTE:
When a system control board is installed in slot IU2 of the

Because it is a type of optical protection unit, the OLP board
provides the optical line protection, intra-board 1+1 protection, and
client-side 1+1 protection.
For the position of the OLP board in the WDM system, see Figure 1,
Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5.

WDM system (optical line protection, OTS trail protection)

NOTE:
The TN11OLP01/TN12OLP01/TN12OLP02 board supports the preceding application only
when the input power for the RI1 and RI2 ports on the board is less than or equal
to +7 dBm.

An OTU is a transceiver that process signals propagated over the same wavelength at
the same time.

system (optical line protection, OMS trail protection)

NOTE:
The TN11OLP01/TN12OLP01/TN12OLP02 board does not support the preceding application
because in this application the input power for the RI1 and RI2 ports on the board
will easily exceed +7 dBm.

An OTU is a transceiver that process signals propagated over the same wavelength at

3.2.29.3.5 Working Principle and Signal

Flow
The OLP board consists of the optical module, control and
communication module, and power supply module.
Figure 1 shows the functional modules and signal flow of the OLP
board.
 Figure 1 Functional modules and signal flow of the OLP board

Signal Flow
 Transmit direction

The TI optical interface receives one channel of optical signals.

After passing through the splitter, the signals are output to the
working and the protection fibers (channels) through the TO1 and
TO2 optical interfaces.

 Receive direction
The signals in the working and the protection fibers (channels)
are input through the RI1 and RI2 optical interfaces, and then are
transmitted to the optical switch. The optical switch selects one
from the two channels of signals based on the optical power of the
signals. In this way, the selection of signals from the working
and the protection channels is achieved. The selected optical
signals are output through the RO optical interface.
The optical power detecting module detects the detection signals
that are extracted from the working and protection signals, and
reports the detection results to the control and communication
module. The control and communication module compares the optical
power of the two channels of optical signals, and controls the
 operation of the optical switch based on the optical power. In
this way, the selection of signals from the working and the
protection channels is achieved.

Module Function
 Optical module
The optical module consists of a signal dual-fed part and a signal
selection part.

 Signal dual-feeding part

Divides the one channel of optical signals into two channels of

the same power, and outputs them to the working and protection
channels.

 Signal selective receiving part: receives the optical signals

from the working and protection channels. The optical power
detection module detects and reports the optical power of two
optical signals, and then the control and communication module
controls and implements the selective receiving of optical
signals from the working and protection channels.

 Control and communication module

 Controls operations on the board.

 Controls operations on each module of the board according to CPU

instructions.

 Collects information about alarms, performance events, working

states and voltage detection from each functional module on the
board.

 Communicates with the system control and communication board.

 Power supply module

Converts the DC power supplied by the backplane into the power

required by each module on the board.
