STM-4 Module (SM4)

Overview

The STM-4 Module (SM4) provides standard SDH STM-4 optical
trunking, to connect to different Network nodes. Apart from data
transmission between different nodes, this Module also provides
SDH performance monitoring and fault reporting.

Features
And
Benefits

„ Panel LEDS indicate status, faults, alarms, and network

connection

„ STM- 4 optical Interface complies with ITU-T G.957 standards
„ Timing Recovery circuit, with ultra-low jitter
„ Insertion and monitoring of STM-4 Overhead Byte
„ Provides 1+1 protection switching
„ Protection switch mechanisms can be set-up, based on the

performance threshold value of the optical interface. Its
switch threshold (such as BER) can be either selected by the
User, or setup internally. In the event of protection switch
failure, an alarm warning will be shown.

„ Alarm and fault monitoring and reporting
„ Provides Digital cross-connect functions for all STM-4 time

slots

„ Synchronous clock timing for Main Power Modules
„ Use of non-volatile memory devices to store performance data

Function Diagram

Application

SM4 is used as the trunk interface and provide more bandwidth for

services. The pluggable optical transceiver allows user to use the

appropriate application code in the field without troubles.
