PPLICATIONS

he WaveStar ADM 16/1 is a

single product platform for

STM-16, STM-4 and STM-1

applications. Based on its

flexibility with regard to interface

units and cross-connect

capabilities, the system supports

applications for bandwidth

access, service-on-demand and

network protection.

The WaveStar ADM 16/1 can be

applied in two tiers of the

network: access & regional

networks. The system allows for

growth and changing service

needs by supporting in-service

conversions and upgrades.

Inherent to its basic design, the

WaveStar ADM 16/1 operates

equally well within fully

synchronous as well as

asynchronous environments and

provides a flexible link between

the two.

The WaveStar ADM 16/1 supports a

large variety of configurations for

various network applications (see

Figure 1):

· Terminal for point-to-point

connections.

· Ring add/drop multiplexer or

STM-4 and 16 rings.

· Access mux to DWDM, 10G,

cross-connect & SONET.

· Hub mux of STM-1 and STM-4

rings to STM-16.

· Grooming of lower-order VCs.
· PDH front-end for digital cross-

connect systems.

· Single ADM 16/1 for

interconnection of STM-16,
STM-4 and STM-1 rings
(Ring Closure on tributary
side).

· TransLAN-functionality for

10/100 BASE-T Ethernet
signals.

Traffic can be protected by:

· Path protection: VC-n SNC/N.
· Section protection:

MS-SPRing, MSP.

· Dual Node Interconnection

(DNI).

ESCRIPTION

his flexible product resulted

from a big step forward in

technology. Due to the high level

of integration at the circuit pack

level, it is possible to add/drop up

to 504 x E1/DS1, 48 x E3,

64 x 10/100 BASE-T, 96 x

DS3/STM-0, 32 x E4/STM-1/OC-

3 or 8 x STM-4/OC-12 using only

one subrack. One rack with a

height of 2400 and 2600 mm,

can accommodate two subracks.

The heart of the WaveStar ADM

16/1 system is the Cross-

Connect, which has connections

with all interface cards (see

Figure 2). The Cross-Connect is

the core of the system.

It enables the flexible routing of VC-4,

VC-3 and VC-12 between:

· Aggregate and aggregate.
· Aggregate and tributary.
· Tributary and tributary.

To contribute to overall system

reliability and availability, the

Cross-Connect can be protected

by an accompanying unit. If

required, interface redundancy

can be provided. The flexible

design of the WaveStar ADM

16/1 makes it possible to place

interface units in almost any

interface slot position of the

subrack. The System Controller

(SC) unit controls all major

functions of the WaveStar ADM

16/1 and communicates with the

centralized management system

(ITM). Communication is

established via the Data

Communication Channels within

the STM-N section overhead

signals or via one of the Q-

interfaces of the system. The

ITM-SC manages the WaveStar

ADM 16/1 at the element level

and the ITM-NM can manage the

system at the network level. The

ITM-Craft Interface Terminal

(ITM-CIT) is used for managing

small networks and for

maintenance purposes.

The system is synchronized by an

optionally duplicated Power and

Timing generator circuit pack.

Both 2048-kHz and 2048-kbps

synchronization interfaces are

supported. References can be

selected by and prioritized from

among the synchronization

interfaces, STM-N interfaces and

2-Mbps tributary interfaces.

Reference protection is possible

by enabling the ETS 300 417-6

compliant synchronization

message protocol which uses the

S1-byte information (SSM

support).
