Alcatel 1850 TSS-320 Technical Handbook page 20

1850 TSS-320 node Main characteristics are:
– Multi-Service integration (SDH/Sonet, Data, WDM and PDH)
• SDH/Sonet and PDH ports performing the payload processing functions; optical access on the
front face of the port cards, electrical accesses provided on a dedicated access panel;
SDH/SONET ports type:
– STM-64/OC-192
– STM-16/OC-48
– STM-4/OC-12 or STM-1/OC-3
PDH ports type:
– E1 / DS1
– E3 / DS3
– E4
• CWDM and DWDM is provided
• Data processing and switching split among dedicated ports (carrying also Ethernet accesses)
with L2 termination, packet classification, buffering, encapsulation and scheduling and the
centralized matrix, respectively;
Data ports type:
– Fast Ethernet
– Gigabit Ethernet
– 10 Gigabit Ethernet
– Electrical "payload agnostic" matrix device able to switch ODU, SDH HO VCs and LO VCs, packets
• LO Matrix may be implemented via a separated item dedicated device for a more granular shelf
equipping (not operative in current release)
– Point-to-point links between adjacent slots providing "matrix by-passing" connections either for data
or WDM applications
– EPS protection is foreseen for common parts (i.e. Controllers and Matrices) and for some specific
I/O ports (i.e. PDH, Data) to meet levels of reliability required for carrier class deployments
