1.1 Introduction
This document is intended to provide the reader with comprehensive information on the
Synchronous Add/Drop Multiplexer family SMA Series 4 that comprises the application types
SMA16/4 (double-row subrack) and SMA4/1 (single-row subrack). Please note, the SMA16/4 is
identical to the former SMA16 product from the hardware point of view. To make SMA16 a
member of the SMA Series 4 product line, SMA16 had to be renamed to SMA16/4 showing that
it is capable of establishing STM-16 and STM-4 network applications. The advantage now is
that the product SMA16/4 can start as STM-4 Multiplexer that can be easily upgraded to an
STM-16 Multiplexer by simply fitting the STM-16 line cards and a SW-upgrade. The product
SMA4/1 addresses mainly the STM-4 applications but can also be used in high capacity STM-1
applications.
The SMA Series 4 is the new generation of Siemens SDH synchronous multiplexer to enable
multiplexing of PDH and SDH tributary signals into higher bit rates up to STM-16 level. It
consists of a common HW and SW platform for network applications of STM-1, STM-4, and
STM-16. Both the products SMA16/4 and SMA4/1 of the SMA Series 4 family feature high
flexibility as they can be used as an Add/Drop Multiplexer, as a Local Cross-Connect or as a
plain Line Terminal.
The SMA Series 4 family provides a very flexible equipping of tributary interfaces in a range
beginning from 2 Mb/s PDH up to optical STM-4 SDH. It can house a variety of tributary slide-
in units allowing for a 100 percent add/drop via the non-blocking cross-connect matrix with the
effective capacity of 64 STM-1 equivalents (or 4032 TU-12) in the SMA16/4 and 16 STM-1
equivalents (or 1008 TU-12) in the SMA4/1. Extraction and insertion at all VC-levels, namely
VC-4, VC-3, VC-2, and VC-12 are possible.
The SMA16/4 is also suitable for DWDM-operation. A huge variety of „coloured“ 2.5 Gbit/s
laser sources according to the ITU-recommendation G.692 are available with the product.
A important new feature of the Series 4.3 are the Ethernet interfaces (10/100BT mapped into E1
ÎVC-12 or E3ÎVC-3; Fast Ethernet mapped into VC-4; Gigabit Ethernet mapped into VC-4
or VC-4-4v).
Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) is a network topology being developed as a new standard for fiber
optic rings (This standard shall be defined in ITU 802.17). RPR is designed to meet the
requirements of a packet-based MAN like guaranteed service quality and bandwidth
management within Service level agreements. RPR is a ring-based architecture that consists of
packet-switching nodes connecting to adjacent nodes over a single fiber pair.
RPR is introduced in the SMA 16 Rel. 4.3.
The information given here addresses the Application Software Release 4.3. Please refer also to
the related Customer Feature List for the complete feature set.
One of the main features of the SMA Series 4 is the common HW and SW platform that features
the unrestricted ability to add and drop 2 Mb/s signals (VC-12) directly to and from the STM-1,
STM-4, or STM-16 line signals. Up to 252 x 2 Mb/s ports (42 ports per card) are provided even
with the single-row SMA4/1 in a 1:n card protection arrangement. Therefore, by means of
interconnecting SMA16/4 with SMA4/1 on an optical STM-1 level (with optional 1+1 MSP
protection) up to 504 fully protected 2 Mb/s in two independent 1:n card protection groups are
possible within one single ETSI or 19” type rack.
The SMA Series 4 network elements SMA16/4 and SMA4/1 can be used in many applications.
Both the SMA16/4 and SMA4/1 can be used as Terminal Multiplexer in the following way:

The SMA Series 4 terminal multiplexer are equipped with a non-blocking switching network and
thus provide cross-connectivity between all line and tributary interfaces on all levels VC-4,
VC-3, VC-2, and VC-12.
The SMA Series 4 ADMs are equipped with a non-blocking switching network. Therefore they
provide cross-connectivity between all line and tributary interfaces for the signal levels VC-4,
VC-3, VC-2, and VC-12.

In this type of application the following protection schemes are possible for the line signals:
On the tributary side, a maximum capacity of 32 STM-1 equivalents can be processed and
connected to the line side with SMA16/4. With SMA4/1 the total capacity is 16 x STM-1 that
can be arbitrarily allocated.
Both SMA Series 4 products SMA16/4 and SMA4/1 provide full Cross-Connectivity between
line-line, line-trib and trib-trib, limited only by the capacity of the switching network or the
available slots. This applies for all supported layers VC-4, VC-3, VC-2, and VC-12 for the cross-
connection-types unidirectional and bidirectional with or without SNCP.

3.2.6 Electrical 155 Mb/s and/or 140 Mb/s Interface EIPS1D (switchable)
For electrical STM-1 signals (155 Mb/s, SDH) and plesiochronous signals of 140 Mb/s (PDH) a
common interface card is provided. This card houses 4 bidirectional ports, i.e. four receivers and
four transmitters. Each single port on the card can be configured to operate as electrical STM-1
or as 140 Mb/s port. An equipping of up to 8 cards is possible to achieve a maximum of 32
working electrical STM-1/140 Mb/s ports.
It is possible to operate two 1:n card protection groups, n = 1, 2, 3. To enable this card protection
it is necessary to equip an EBSLS card for each protection group and one PSUTP card for their
power supply. In this configuration up to 24 working STM-1/140 Mb/s ports are possible.
The incoming signal is regenerated, descrambled and the OH is extracted. All traffic related
section and path overhead bytes (e.g. B1, B2, J0, K1, K2, Pointer/ B3, J1, C2) are processed on
the unit.
A number of selectable SOH bytes can be passed to the OH-Bus. Also DCC access for tributary
interfaces is possible via the DCC-Bus.
The VC-4s are forwarded to the working and standby (if equipped) IPU16 unit for the lower
order signal processing.
In the transmit direction the VC-4 signals are selected from the working or standby IPU16. The
section overhead is processed/inserted from the OH-bus and added to the signal that is then
scrambled and CMI coded.
All unit monitoring and control is done by the onboard PCU.

Due to HW re-use, the following monitoring possiblities are given for lower order monitoring:
• Up to 32 free allocatable LPOM or LSUM functions can be enabled per AU-4
Please note that in case of the optional 1+1 switch network protection a duplication of all related
IPU16 cards is mandatory.

In principle, RPR uses a SDH ring that connects several SMA 16 Rel 4.3 equipped with the RPR
card. The RPR cards add and drop the packet traffic to the ring. RPR – A Distributed Layer 2
Switch.
For the functionality of the RPR it’s not necessary that every node in the ring is equipped with
the RPR card. For transmitting the packets normal VC-4s within an SDH signal are used, so the
network elements between must only be able to transmit the required bandwidth.
One important feature of packet switched networks is the statistical share of bandwidth – the
user doesn’t need the nominal bandwidth all the time. So overbooking is possible, that means the
same bandwidth is shared among different users at different time. On the other hand in some
cases guaranteed bandwidth is necessary.
So two classes of traffic have been defined in RPR: Stream and best effort. “Stream” means that
the booked bandwidth is guaranteed all the time. Here no overbooking is possible. “Best effort”
traffic means that the bandwidth is not guaranteed. Sent packets are transmitted in the best
possible way (depends of the current packet load on the ring). If the bandwidth available is not
sufficient, packets are discarded.
To avoid congestion for best effort traffic (in case too much users send packets at the same time)
flow control will be implemented.
RPR passes the Ethernet frames transparently. There’s no impact on any Layer 3 protocols.

Prerequisite of RPR application is a RPR card positioned in two neighboured tributary slots . Up
to two RPR cards per SMA are available. The RPR card builds up a RPR ring node (RN). A
Ring Bandwidth
Either 1xVC-4 or 1xVC-4-4v
Framing on Ring
The RPR header does not support frame delineation. This function is done by PPP in HDLC-like
framing as described in RFC1662.
MAC Addresses
MAC address learning and MAC address ageing according to IEEE802.1d are implemented in
RPR. MAC address learning is protected against MAC address scan attack from one CUG to
another. Up to 128,000 MAC address entries are possible for one RPR ring node. Each CUG has
its own MAC address table and forms a own broadcast domain. Up to 2000 MAC address entries
are allowed per CUG. Static MAC address entries per RN are supported also to prevent
permanent flooding in case of pure unidirectional traffic.
VLAN Applications
VLAN transparent forwarding is used at each Ethernet port of RPR. This means that different
customers can be separated using VLAN award equipment such as Switch or Router before
connecting to RPR.
Protection Features
RPR utilizes both fibers concurrently for frame transport and to accelerate control signal
propagation for adaptive bandwidth utilization and for self-healing purposes. From this point of
view, RPR and BSHR (Bi-directional self-healing Ring) in the circuit switched world look alike,
except that in RPR no additional bandwidth is reserved for protection reason that lies fallow until
a protection case occurs.
3.2.17 MIBS-Modules
The SMA16/4 and SMA4/1 has two MIBS-modules in a protection architecture that are part of
the subrack. They are implemented as replaceable units to ease their repair in case of
malfunction. The task of the MIBS-module is to accommodate 4 Mbyte of FEPROM for the
storage of all persistent configuration data handled by the System Control Unit (SCU-R2E).
Please note: There’s no extra booster shelf for the SMA 16 available. When the rack capacity is
exceeded due to usage of booster and preamplifier cards please contact technical sales
department to discuss possible solutions.
The architecture of the SMA16/4 allows for high-capacity tributary access. The table below
shows the maximum number of usable tributary interfaces to connect PDH and SDH signals. Up
to 12 units (Cards) in versatile mixing can be housed in the subrack. The greyed types are
subject to a product release beyond SMA16/4 S4.2. Please regard the limitations described
below.
2. A second limitation applies to the two LBT/HBT slots 406 and 411. When slot 406 is
equipped with a HBT-type interface card {EIPS1D, OIS1D, OIS4D, OIS4-2D, ETH 100,
TTH 1000} then slot 411 can not be equipped with an LBT-type interface card {EI2-42, EI3-
3, ETH P4}.
Conclusion: To avoid the above mentioned two limitations with SMA16/4 as far as possible, the
equipping of HBT-type interface cards at the LBT/HBT positions 405 and 406 should be avoided
as long as not necessarily required. Therefore it is recommended to equip LBT-type interface
cards from the left to the right, and HBT-type interface cards from the right to the left.
Apart from taking a free slot, optical Boosters or Preamplifiers do not cause any further
limitation on the equipping of the subrack.
Consequence: This means that an SNCP protected ring with optical STM-1 or STM-4 “Line
cards” in slot 408 and 409 excludes a working EIPS1, OIS1D, or OIS4* card in slot 406, but
BSHR-2 or MSP protection schemes established in slots 408/409 do not affect the equipping of
slot 406.
Apart from taking a free slot, optical Boosters (OBD) do not cause any further limitation on the
equipping of the SMA4/1 subrack.
There are different upgrade opportunities within the SMA Series 4 product family.
To avoid unauthorized upgrade within the SMA 4.3 family (i.e. upgrade to SMA 16 without
buying the SMA 16 licence) a key code is necessary for upgrading an SMA 4 to an SMA 16.
Basically the following upgrade facilities are supported:

The SRAP-PI is located at the upper front edge of the subrack. It indicates failures within the
subrack. This panel contains the indication LEDs A, B and EL and a reset button RT for alarm
acknowledgement. The SRAP-PI indicators are powered with an extra signalling voltage +S/-S.
in the range of 10.5 to 75 V.
The Rack Alarm Interface (LZE interface) is to forward alarm information of a subrack to the
end of a rack row for alarm visualisation. This interface provides three relay contact outputs
LZE-a, LZE-b and LZE-el that are fed by the signalling voltage +S. The output alarm severity
levels correspond to the SRAP-PI indication LEDs A, B and EL.
The Rack Alarm Interfaces to the Central Station Alarm Panel (ZBBeo) is to forward
transmission alarm information to a central observation panel in three different output levels.
These are ZA(A) and ZA(B) marking multiplex based alarms, and LE for line based alarms.
Please note, that FEC and “Concatenation Conversion” are mutual exclusive on the same
interface port, i.e, a contiguously concatenated signal can not be enhanced for transmission by
FEC.
By means of a Software configurable AU-4/AU-3 pointer evaluation and processing (ss-bits) the
SDH-based TransXpress network elements SMA Series 4 now offer the following SONET
transparent intefaces:
• OC3 containing STS-3c (OIS1D)
• OC12 containing 4 x STS-3c or 1 x STS-12c (OIS4-2D)
• OC48 containing mixtures of STS-3c and STS-12c or 1 x STS-48c (OIS16-2D)
Concerning SONET compatibility the following recommendations and restrictions apply to the
Section and Path Overhead SOH and POH:
• BIP-process Calculation only according to SDH (Block Error)
• J0 Processing according to SDH (16 byte); can be switched off by SW
• SSM SSM (Synchronization Status Message) works only according to SDH,
therefore Synchronization with SONET is not supported.
• Configuration,
• Fault,
• Performance,
• Maintenance,
• Security (within NE and at OS/LCT),
• Access.
An F-interface (RS232) is provided for direct connection of the Local Craft Terminal which is an
IBM compatible Personal Computer.
The Local Craft Terminal software is a Windows NT based application for keyboard and mouse
operation. The operator access is password protected to ensure that the SMA database is not
accessed/altered by unauthorised users.
A Q-interface (Ethernet) is provided for remote management of the SMA Series 4. The remote
management can be either by a Network Craft Terminal or a Network Management System
(NMS) and is realised by using the embedded DCCm or DCCr communication channels between
the "Gateway" SMA (the NE connected to the NCT/NMS via Ethernet link) and the other NEs
that belong to the same sub-network, as shown on Figure 8, below.
IS-IS routing mechanism is used to provide DCC channel protection from network interruptions.
The Local Craft Terminal hardware platform with addition of an Ethernet compatible modem is
used as a Network Craft Terminal by using the appropriate Network Software Application.

A comprehensive Fault Management function supervising the correct function of all of hardware
and software modules within the network element as well as monitoring the integrity of all
incoming data signals is deployed in the SMA Series 4. The failures and their processing is
classified into transmission (burst model) and equipment failures. Additionally external alarm
contacts are supported that can be used for signalling in-station alarms.
Failures are reported to the connected Management System and can also be forwarded to the
BW7R interface for visual signalling via the alarm display of the subrack and for connection to a
central monitoring centre.
The following tasks are carried out by the Fault Management function:
• To detect anomalies and to report some of them to the Performance Management function.
• To derive defects by eliminating spurious anomalies and to report some of them to the
Performance Management function.
• To trigger automatic maintenance actions such as ALS, protection switching, AIS insertion,
far end defect indications etc...
• To process operator controlled maintenance actions.
• To perform alarm reduction through correlation of defects.
• To assign severity levels to BW7R alarm events (static table).
• To time stamp alarm events using the system real time clock.
• To issue spontaneous alarm event notifications to the local/remote management systems.
The values of the above performance entities are accumulated for 15 min and 24 hour time
periods and stored in performance logs. Sixteen 15 min performance reports and three 24 hour
performance reports are permanently stored in FIFO principle and can be retrieved at any time.
On the Ethernet cards the following packet performance values are monitored:
ETH P4 card:
Counter for collisions in half-duplex mode, 15 min intervals
SDH performance monitoring on the SDH path (VC-3 / VC-12) is also implemented.
ETH100D, ETH1000D:
Packet performance values in 15min/24h intervalls for:
- Bad packets received
- Good packets received
- Good packets sent
SDH performance monitoring on the SDH path (VC-4) is also implemented.
RPRN-A:
Packet performance values in 15min/24h intervalls for:
- Bad packets received
- Good packets received
The rack used for SMA Series 4 meets the metric standard design specified in ETS 300119-3.
The dimensions of the rack are as follows:
Height = 2200 mm,
Width = 600 mm,
Depth = 300 mm.
If required it is permissible to mount more than one SMA16/4 double-row subrack or SMA4/1
single-row subrack in one rack framework, see figure 9 below, however consideration must be
given to:
1. The maximum permissible power dissipation allowed in the customer’s premises,
2. The maximum rise in temperature under which the upper SMA Series 4 will operate,
3. The climatic limits according to ETS 300 019 class 3.1e that includes a working range of
time operating at different humidities and temperatures,
4. The reduced MTBF resulting from continuous operation at elevated temperature,
5. Forced air cooling (fan unit).
In case the SMA16/4 subrack is to be operated with forced air cooling (fan unit required, when
power dissipation exceeds 380 W) only one subrack can be mounted in a rack with the 200mm
high connector panel (T20-0.1)
There’s a rack wit a new, flat connector panel (T20-0.10). With this new panel it’s possible to
mount two subracks with fan in one single rack (in this case one CLA is possible. No TIF is
possible in the same rack).
SMA4/1: Heat is emitted by natural convection. No forced cooling is required for operation at
maximum ambient temperature (45 °C) according to ETS 300 019 class 3.1e.
On the front side of the rack there are two ESD jacks for ground connection of operating staff.

Figure 10: Card arrangement within the SMA16/4 subrack
The subrack provides two rows for the equipping of slide-in units, see figure 10. The mounting
slots for a versatile and flexible card equipping are numbered from 401 to 417 in the upper row
and 501 to 512 in the lower row. Figure 10 shows also the relation between the IPU16 cards and
the respective line and tributary slots. As can be seen, there are always two working IPU16 cards
necessary for the operation of line cards (black dots in lower row).
In the connector area the mounting positions 201 to 206 are reserved for connecting 2/34/45
Mb/s (SIPAC connectors), and the positions 207 to 214 are slots to mount the LTUS in case of
140/155 Mb/s electrical signals. All external connectors are front access. The positions 210, 214
(for EBSLS) and 215 (for PSUTP) are dedicated to the two EIPS1D card protection groups.
The connector assignments to the slot positions for electrical tributary interfaces is as follows:
Please note, that all optical STM-1, 4 tributary cards are of front access, Connector type E2000,
DIN, SC, or FC/PC, or E2000/HRL in case of optical booster and preamplifier.
For further information concerning connector layout and pinning, please refer to the ITMN
manual A42022-L5911-A52-*-7630.
The subrack meets ETS 300119-4 requirements. The standard mounting brackets designed for
mounting the subrack into the standard ETSI rack can be replaced by brackets for mounting the
subrack into 19-inch racks. A door is fitted with special hinges allowing the door to be removed
from the subrack.
Please regard the equipping limitations for the slots 409 and 406 described in Section 3.3.2.
