The OptiX OSN 2500 REG has the following functions:

l The OptiX OSN 2500 REG supports the interface rates of STM-64 FEC, STM-64,
STM-16 FEC (ITU-T G.709) and STM-16.
NOTE
For the OptiX OSN 2500 REG, only the N2SL16 supports the interface rate of STM-16. By default, the
STM-16 board is referred to as the N2SL16 in the following sections.
l Each optical interface board regenerates one channel of optical signals in the regenerator
loopback mode.
l The OptiX OSN 2500 REG terminates and regenerates the frame headers and
regeneration overhead (RSOH) bytes. The OptiX OSN 2500 REG transparently
transmits other overhead bytes, pointers and the payload.
l When detecting the R_LOS or R_LOF alarm, the optical interface inserts the MS_AIS
signals into the downstream station.
When the OptiX OSN 2500 REG works normally, the clock for service transmission is
synchronous with the line clock, which is in the pass-through mode. When the line clock is
lost, the clock for service transmission is derived from the free-run clock inside the
equipment. The frequency accuracy is not greater than 4.6 ppm.

Optical Module Types

The OptiX OSN supports SFP, eSFP, and single-fiber bidirectional optical modules.
When the board is equipped with a single-fiber bidirectional optical module, the fiber
connected to the optical module can transmit and receive optical signals. Thus, a lot of optical
fiber resources are saved.
NOTE
In the case of different single-fiber bidirectional optical modules, the transmit or receive wavelengths are
different. Thus, the single-fiber directional optical modules at the two ends must be of the same type.
For details about optical modules, see Pluggable Optical Module in Hardware Description.

2.5 ROPA System

The equipment supports the remote optical pumping amplifier (ROPA) system to transmit
signals over a long distance.
The transmission distance of optical signals is extended if the ROPA system is used on the
OptiX OSN 2500 REG system.
The ROPA consists of an RGU and an ROP unit. The light launched by the ROP unit enters
the transmission fiber from the reverse direction. The light then provides pump energy for
RGU in the line. Hence, the medium (erbium-doped fiber) interacts with the pump light to
amplify the optical power.
Figure 2-2 shows a typical ROPA system.

About This Chapter
The NMS uses many schemes to manage the security of the OptiX OSN equipment NE.
4.1 Authentication Management
Considering the security, only the legal user can log in to the NE after authentication.
4.2 Authorization Management
Proper authority assignment to different NE users can ensure the successful operations
performed by each user and the security of the NE system.

System
Product Description 4 Security Management
4.1 Authentication Management

Considering the security, only the legal user can log in to the NE after authentication.
l NE login management: You can successfully log in to the NE only by entering a valid
user name and a valid password.
l NE user switching: On a client, only one user is allowed to operate the NE each time.
For this reason, if multiple users intend to operate the same NE simultaneously, they
need to be switched to ensure that the data is unique.
l Forcibly making other NE users exit from the NE: To avoid errors caused by
simultaneous configuration by multiple users, or to prevent other users from illegally
logging in to the NE, one user of system level or debugging level can forcibly make
other users exit from the NE.
l Query the online NE users.
4.2 Authorization Management

Proper authority assignment to different NE users can ensure the successful operations
performed by each user and the security of the NE system.
l NE user management:
– According to the operation authorities, NE users are divided into five levels, which
involve monitoring level, operation level, maintenance level, system level, and
debugging level in an ascending order.
– According to the NMS, NE users are classified into LCT NE users, EMS NE users,
CMD NE users, and general NE users.
– Create NE users, assign authorities, or specify a user flag.
– Modify the user name, change the password, modify the operation authority, or
change the user flag.
– Delete NE users.
l NE user group management:
– According to the operation authority, by default, NE user groups are divided into
monitor user group, operator user group, maintainer user group, administrator user
group, and system administrator user group.
– Query the group of a user.

l In the telecommunications room, it is required that the PDU needs to provide power supply for an
entire subrack. In this case, normal power supply can be guaranteed when either of the power inputs
fails.

System
5.1.2 Specifications of the Subrack

The technical specifications of the subrack include the dimensions, weight, and maximum
power consumption.

a: The maximum power consumption refers to the maximum power consumption

configuration that the subrack can support and the maximum heat dissipation capability of
the subrack. In the actual application, the value is much higher than the power consumption
of the subrack in typical configuration.
NOTE
When the cabinet is fully loaded, the maximum power consumption is the sum of the maximum power
consumption of all subracks and the maximum power consumption of other configuration.
In the case of transmission equipment, power consumption is generally transformed into heat
consumption. Hence, heat consumption (BTU/h) and power consumption (W) can be converted to each
other in the formula: Heat consumption (BTU/h) = Power consumption (W) / 0.2931 (Wh).

System
6.1 Energy Saving

The OptiX OSN 2500 REG supports the control and monitoring of dynamic energy saving.
Static Energy Saving

Regarding static energy saving, the OptiX OSN 2500 REG takes the following measures:
l Uses an easy scheme for board design.

l Replaces the ordinary chips with ASIC chips that require a low power consumption.
l Uses the power module with high efficiency.
l Replaces the linear power supplies with switching power supplies.
l Uses the standard digital voltage.
l Provides a power switch for each subrack. Thus, the power supply for the subrack can be
shut down the manually.
Dynamic Energy Saving

Energy saving (power down) design for boards: Some boards support the standby state
design, based on which a board, its modules, and its ports that are not used enter the standby
state, reducing power consumption.
Heat dissipation design: The OptiX OSN equipment provides auto speed mode of fan speed
adjustment. In auto speed mode, the speeds of the fans in different partitions are adjusted
separately and steplessly according to the board temperatures of the partitions. The speed of
the fans in the low-temperature partition is automatically adjusted to a low level for energy
saving. For details about the fan speed adjustment scheme, see the Hardware Description.
Control and Monitoring of Energy Saving

You can control and monitor the energy saving through the NMS.
You can query the logical power consumption (W) of an NE, physical power consumption
(W) of an NE, logical power consumption (W) of a board, and physical power consumption
(W) of a board on a real-time basis.
6.2 Environment Protection

The OptiX OSN 2500 REG is designed according to the requirements of sustainable
development. All components and packages of the equipment are identified in compliance
with the associated standards for recycling.
l The OptiX OSN 2500 REG not only provides necessary packing materials, but also
guarantees that the size of the package containing the equipment and accessories is at
most three times the size of the net equipment.
l The product is also designed for easy unpacking. For details about how to unpack the
equipment, see the associated manual. In addition, all hazardous substances contained in
packaging decompose easily.

1+1 backup A backup method in which two components mirror each other. If the active
component goes down, the standby component takes over services from the active
component to ensure that the system service is not interrupted.
1+1 hot standby A backup mode in which two systems with the same functions are deployed, one in
the active state and the other in the standby state with power on. The standby system
backs up the data of the active system automatically. Once the active system
encounters a fault, the standby system takes over services from the active system
automatically or by manual intervention.

802.1Q in 802.1Q A VLAN feature that allows the equipment to add a VLAN tag to a tagged frame. The
(QinQ) implementation of QinQ is to add a public VLAN tag to a frame with a private VLAN
tag to allow the frame with double VLAN tags to be transmitted over the service
provider's backbone network based on the public VLAN tag. This provides a layer 2
VPN tunnel for customers and enables transparent transmission of packets over
private VLANs.

the X-bit sequences in the covered portion of the signal. The covered portion includes
the BIP-X.
bit interleaved parity-8 Consists of a parity byte calculated bit-wise across a large number of bytes in a

then repeats the same calculation. If both devices obtain the same result, the
transmission is considered to be error free. This procedure is known as a redundancy
check because each transmission includes not only data but extra (redundant) error-

Media Access Control A protocol at the media access control sublayer. The protocol is at the lower part of
(MAC) the data link layer in the OSI model and is mainly responsible for controlling and
connecting the physical media at the physical layer. When transmitting data, the MAC
protocol checks whether to be able to transmit data. If the data can be transmitted,
certain control information is added to the data, and then the data and the control
information are transmitted in a specified format to the physical layer. When receiving
data, the MAC protocol checks whether the information is correct and whether the
data is transmitted correctly. If the information is correct and the data is transmitted
correctly, the control information is removed from the data and then the data is
transmitted to the LLC layer.
Multiple Spanning A protocol that can be used in a loop network. Using an algorithm, the MSTP blocks
