coding technology, P-DPSK coding technology, distributed Raman amplifier and
dispersion management technology, ZXWM M920 can perform super long non-electric
relay transmission from several kilometers up to thousands of kilometers.
2.4
Multi-service Access Mode

ZXWM M920 adopts an open design. The accessed optical signals can be converted to
ITU-T G.692 recommendation compliant wavelength signals for output by employing
optical/electric/optical conversion technology.
It supports transparent transmission of optical signals in multiple formats, such as STM-N
(N=1, 4, 16, 64,256), POS, GbE/10GE, ATM, ESCON, FICON and FC, which protect
users benefit and provide an ideal means for network expansion.
ZXWM M920 also can multiplex low-rate services into 40G10G or 2.5G rates
transparently to improve the availability of system wavelength.
2.5
Flexible networking modes

Functionality of ZXWM M920 can be changed from OLA to OADM to OTM by choosing
different combination of functional modules, making it more flexible for complicated
network topologies, such as chain, star, cross, tangent-ring and mesh networks.
2.6
Wavelength Add/Drop Functions

Filters in the ZXWM M920 can be configured flexibly to implement the adding/dropping of
1 to 80 wavelengths. With this kind of design, the ZXWM M920 supports both the
FOADM and the ROADM functions.
FOADM: This function is to implement the adding/dropping of fixed wavelengths.
ROADM: With this function, wavelengths to be added/dropped can be reconfigured.
Besides, add/drop ports can be assigned to these wavelengths flexibly, that is, the port
assignment function. ZXWM M920 support ROADM function based on WB, PLC and
WSS technologies.
2.7
Reliable Protection Functions

ZXWM M920 can provide multiple and effective protection modes: Optical subnet
connection protective switchover (OSNCP); Unidirectional optical line protective
switchover (ULSR); Unidirectional optical channel protective switchover (UPSR);
Bidirectional optical line share protective switchover (BLSR); Bidirectional optical channel
share protective switchover (BPSR); 1: N tributary protection etc. which with the switching
time shorter than 50 ms. When ZXWM M920 is configured as OADM node on a ring
network, route protection of channels can be accomplished.
2.8
Performance Monitoring Technologies

ZXWM M920 uses a board performance monitoring unit to capture board performance
data, which can be viewed to accurately locate a fault via NMS.
2.9
Power Management Technology

ZXWM M920 adopts excellent power management technology to adjust and control the
power and power spectrum at each point in the system.
ZXWM M920 system supports LAC (line attenuation control), APC (automatic power
control), AGC (automatic gain control) etc. technologies. The gain adjustment range of
LAC card is: 2-26dB; the gain adjustment range of general optical amplifier is 5dB which
can both be adjusted via NM.
APC and AGC technologies can control the launched power/gain on MS level to ensure
hitless in-service insertion or removal of channels.
2.10
Powerful NM
ZXONM E300, adopted by ZXWM M920, can manage CWDM, DWDM and SDH
equipments. It employs three-layer C/S structure of GUI/Manager-DB/Agent. Due to
flexible networking, it offers the remote NM and hierarchical NM, easily synchronizes the
data of multi-NMS or active/standby NM and actualizes the automatic and manual
switching.
Based on OSPF algorithm, the NMS has ECC automatic route function, that is to say the
ECC route between NEs can be set up automatically without manual configuration, which
could make the networking application easily and fast.
In addition, the NMS supports remote and online upgrade of NE software and board
software, provides management at multiple layers, i.e. NE layer, NE management layer
and network management layer, and offers the fault management, performance
management, security management, configuration management, maintenance

3.1
Functions
3.1.1
Large Transmission Capacity
3.1.2
Transmission system less than 48-wavelength employs on the C band with 100 GHz
channel spacing.
80/96-wavelength transmission system employs on the C band via inter-leaver

technology with 50 GHz channel spacing.
192- wavelength transmission system employs on the C band via inter-leaver

Ultra-long-haul Distance Optical Source

ZXWM M920 employs the ultra-long-haul distance optical source technologies including
forward error correction (FEC) coding, advanced out band FEC coding, RZ code pattern
and self-adaptive receiving.
1
FEC technique
i
Description
FEC is a signal data processing technique. At the transmitting end, it sends the data with
the redundant code generated by the specific algorithm, while, at the receiving end,
according to the relevant algorithm, it checks and corrects the bit errors occurring during
transmission with the redundant codes, and restores the original signals.
ii
Features
Improve the error tolerance capability of the transmission signals to reduce signal/noise
ratio required by the system, and extend the transmission distance.
The conventional FEC based on G.709 can increase the OSNR tolerance about 5~6 dB,
and the advanced FEC technique adopting more effective coding algorithm can increase
the OSNR tolerance about 7~9dB.
2
Return to zero (RZ) technique
RZ code allows higher peak value of power than NRZ code, and the mean transmitting
optical power of RZ and NRZ code are on the same level, so it improves the signal/noise
ratio for receiving signals of the system.
And RZ code reduces signal power spectral density to effectively suppress non-linear
impact during transmission, so RZ code is more suitable for ultra-long-haul transmission.

Self-adaptive receiving technology
The receiver adjusts the judgment point level and phase automatically according to the
signal receiving conditions, in order to obtain a higher Q value and lower bit error rate.
3.1.3
Optical Amplifier
Optical fiber amplifier of ZXWM M920 system is based on single-stage mode or doublestage mode. Enhanced Optical Booster Amplifier (EOBA)Enhanced Optical Line
Amplifier (EOLA) and Enhanced Optical Preamplifier (EOPA) is based on single-stage
mode , and Enhanced Optical Node Amplifier(EONA) is based on double-stage mode.
EOBAEOLA and EONA use dual pumps, and EOPA use single pump or dual pumps.
The wavelength of single pump source is 980nm, and the wavelengths of dual pump
sources are 980nm and 1480nm. Gain flatness is 1dB. Extra metal ion and Gain
Flattening Filter (GFF) can be added to ensure OA gain flatness.

ZXWM M920 employs ultra-long-haul distance technologies, such as RAMAN amplifier

and large power EDFA. Working principles of Raman amplifier (RA) are shown as
following:
Figure 3
Principles of RA
Compared with EDFA, the RAMAN fiber amplifier enjoys low noise merit. The equivalent
noise factor of the distributed RAMAN amplifier board (DRA) of ZXWM M920 is 0 dB, and
switching gain is 10 dB.
ZXWM M920 also provides large power EDFA, which directly improves OSNR to extend
the transmission distance.
3.1.4
Power Management
To guarantee the network performance, ZXWM M920 adopts power management
technology to adjust and control the power and power spectrum at each point in the
system.
1
Intelligent Power Management
The intelligent power management is implemented by the line attenuation card (LAC),
optical amplifier board and EMS. It can detect the changing state of the optical line power
and make relevant adjustments accordingly, so as to maintain the receiving power and
OSNR ratio at the normal value during ZXWM M920s operation.
Attenuation of LAC can be adjusted form 2dB to 26dB. And attenuation of LAC with
attenuation slope compensation can be adjusted form 5dB to 26dB. The gain of optical
amplifier in ZXWM M920 system can be adjusted via NM, and the typical range is 5dB.
ZXWM M920 can provide APR or APSD protection process, that is, the EDFA
automatically reduces the power or switches off the power in case of no input light, so as
to make operator safety.
Protection process is fulfilled as follows:
Optical power supervision device detects signal loss at active optical channel.
Reversing pump of RA shuts down.
Codirectional EDFA output at downstream node of breakpoint remains (APR) or

shuts down (APSD).
Inverse EDFA at downstream node of breakpoint shuts down and automatically

checks system recovery in intervals specified.
Inverse EDFA output at upstream node of breakpoint remains (APR) or shuts down
(APSD).
Codirectional EDFA at upstream node of breakpoint shuts down and automatically

checks system recovery in intervals specified.
After bidirectional fibers of the system recover, the output of EDFA and RA at the
transmission section of breakpoint returns to normal.
In ZXWM M920 system, RA can automatically shut down and manually restart.
2
Auto Performance Optimization
When APO (Auto Performance Optimization) is adopted, the power management

subsystem plane can intelligently adjust LAC and EDFA gain to automatically optimize
and manage DWDM system parameters such as optical power and OSNR.
The power management subsystem is composed of controller, executor, monitor,

communication (within a NE or between NEs) interface and protocols, as shown in the
following figure:

Power management functions are at SNMS level. The controller is embedded in

Manager.
It takes the data from EMS database and analyzes it according to system service
and network topology.
It makes the management scheme (comprising the setting states of the power
adjustment executors of the NEs) in accordance with the power management
algorithm.
It supplies the scheme to the operator to view, and then sends it to the NEs to
optimize the power.
The network power optimization starts under the command of auto performance
optimization. After the automatic optimization completion, it can be executed with the
operators approval.
The automatic power management starts after operation, and monitors the system
performances. It can handle a fault automatically, store and display the result.
3.1.5
Performance Detection Function

1
ZXWM M920 systems can provide OPM to supervise optical parameters at each
optical channel, e.g., optical channel power, central wavelength and OSNR. It can
supervise active optical channel in real time without disconnecting services, send
related data to NMS and check the associated physical quantity at NM in two view
modes: illustration and data. Measurement precision of central wavelength is
0.1nm, power 1.0dB and OSNR 1.5dB.
OPM functions are shown as following:
Supervise path wavelength, optical power and OSNR of WDM signals in real-time.
Automatic self-calibration.
Supervise four channels of input optical signals (with optical switch);
Process data on boards, and find out power, wavelength and OSNR at peak points.
If OPM is not configured, NMS can supervise OA and OTU input and output power.
Precision of optical power is 1dB.
3.1.6
The OTU part has performance monitoring and overhead processing functions,
which can accurately locate faulty point and type by layer.
OTN layer: Monitor loss of frame alarm (OTUk-LOF) and bit interleaver parity check
(OTUk-BIP8), and process overhead SM-TTI.
SDH signal: Monitor and check B1, B2 and J0 bytes.
GbE signal: Monitor and collect error packets and error packet rate statistics.
ZXWM M920 equipment provides monitoring port in each board for the carrier to test
and monitor the signal quality by accessing the apparatus.

Introduction to corresponding supported bytes

i
rocess of frame alignment
OTUk frame alignment

OTUk frame alignment should be established by searching the OA1, OA2 FAS bytes
in OTUk frame (please refer to G.709 recommendation).
An OTUk LOF alarm works via monitoring the FAS bytes of OTUk frame. On reset,
the frame aliagner goes into out of frame state. In out of frame state, the frame
aligner goes into in-frame state when there are 24 consecutive valid frame patterns.
In in-frame state, the frame aligner goes into out of frame state when there are 24
consecutive invalid frame patterns. The OTUk LOF alarm arises in in-frame state
and disappears in out of frame state.
OTUk multi-frame alignment
OTUk multi-frame alignment should be established on the basis of MFAS byte
contained in OTUk frame (please refer to G.709 recommendation).
When the received MFAS does not match the expected number of multi-frame
during 5 continuous OTUk frames, it should be regarded as out of multi-frame.
When a MFAS error is not found in 2 continuous OTUk frames, it should be regarded
as multi-frame alignment recovery and turned into multi-frame synchronous state.
For the new frame alignment requirement, it needs to add two relevant alarms:
OTUk out of frame alignment OTUk-LOF (k=1,2)
OTUk out of multi-frame alignment (LOM)
ii
Functions of TTI
All OTS, OTUk and ODUk layers have their own TTI. Currently, only the TTI test
function of OTUk is considered, and the test items make use of the TTI in SM byte.
The TTI mismatching is based on the comparison between the expected value and
the input one of APIs (i.e. SAPI and DAPI). The APIs is a part of 64-bit TTI signal
defined by G.709 recommendation.
Both SAPI and DAPI must be under consideration. In order to enhance the flexibility,
the test items can be set via NM (only SAPI, only DAPI, both, both not, 4 test modes).
The following are the application modes:

Setting command:
The test configuration of the received OTUk TTI has four modes: SAPI, DAPI,
SAPI&DAPI, or no SAPI&DAPI. The configuration is rate independent, and only exists at
the receiving side of the line.
The TTI of OTUk can be configured. SAPI and DAPI can be set at the transmitting end of
the line, and the expected values of SAPI and DAPI can be set at the receiving end of the
line.
BIP-8 test
Both OTUk and ODUk layers have their own BIP-8. Currently, only BIP-8 test function of
OTUk is considered, and the test items make use of the BIP-8 in SM byte.
The following functions are available:
Performance:
OTUk BIP-8 bit error statistics is required by both OTU1 and OTU2.
Alarm:
The threshold-crossing alarm of 15-minute OTUk BIP-8 bit error is provided.

3.1.7
Dispersion Management
Dispersion restrictions must be taken into consideration in long-haul transmission. Certain
amounts of the dispersion compensation modules are configured in the dispersion
compensation plug-in box (DCM) of ZXWM M920 on actual demands.
By configuring the values of line compensation, precompensation and post-compensation
reasonably, the system could actualize the balance compensation, as shown in Figure 9.

Service Functions
1
Service Access Function
ZXWM M920 can access the following services:
SDH services including STM-1/4/16/64/256
SONET services including OC-3/12/48/192/768
ATM or POS services including VC4, VC4-4c and VC4-16c
Ethernet services including FE, GbE, 10GbE
Enterprise intranet services such as ESCON, FICON, and FC.
Any rate services between 34 Mbit/s ~ 2.7 Gbit/s
Service Convergence Function
ZXWM M920 can converge and de-multiplex the low rate signals.
Each SRM42 board converge 4 STM-1/4 SDH signals or ATM signals to STM-16
signal.
Each SRM41 board converge 4 STM-16 SDH signals or ATM signals to STM-64
signal.
15
3.1.9
Each MQT3 board converge 4 STM-64/OC-192/10GbE/OTU2 signals to OTU3

signal.
Each GEM2/GEMF board converge 2 GbE signals to 2.5 Gbit/s rate.
Each GEM8 board converge 8 GbE signals to 10 Gbit/s rate.
DSA board implements the multiplexing/demultiplexing between eight data service

signals at tributary side and two STM-16 signals at aggregate side.
It is applicable to different networking conditions by selecting tributary modules and

aggregation module type.
Wavelength Add/Drop Function

The ZXWM M920 supports the adding/dropping of wavelengths in the granularity of 1
wavelength, 4 wavelengths or 8 wavelengths. The quantity of wavelengths to be
added/dropped can be expanded from 1 to 80.
An optical add/drop multiplexer subsystem can be configured as a fixed one (FOADM) or
a reconfigurable one (ROADM).
FOADM: In such subsystem, OAD board is needed to add/drop fixed wavelengths in the
system.
ROADM: In such subsystem, additional WBU or WSU board is needed. Configure the
system in the EMS to implement the adding/dropping and direct transmission of any
specified wavelengths in the same direction. Moreover, the ROADM subsystem provides
the port assignment function, with which wavelengths can be added/dropped through
assigned ports.
In ROADM subsystems, it is unnecessary to adjust fibers manually when the quantity of
wavelength to be added/dropped changes or some other wavelengths need to be
added/dropped.
3.1.10
Communication and Monitoring Functions

Communication and monitoring functions are implemented jointly by the main control
board (SNP) and optical supervision channel board (SOSC). The functions are:
1
Main control board (SNP)
Sample and process the alarms and performance of all boards in the equipment and
report them to the NMS.
Receive various configurations and maintenance commands issued by the NMS,

and forward them to corresponding boards.
Transfer the data from other NE SNPs.
16
As the traffic increases, ZXWM M920 is applicable to the multi-rack configuration at

one NE. One SNP board can manage 16 racks at most. Users can flexibly configure
according to the actual number of racks at the node equipment.
The fan unit monitors the fan speed and temperature, and feeds back the information
to NMS, so that the user can view the relevant information at the NMS. Meanwhile,
NMS sends the commands to the fan unit to manually adjust the fan speed.
Optical supervision channel card (SOSC)
The SOSC uses the 1510 nm channel to transmit the NE monitoring information in the
bidirectional transceiving mode at the monitoring channel rate of 100 Mbit/s. It
multiplexes and demultiplexes overhead, order wire and clock synchronization.
3.1.11
Alarm Input/Output Function

1
Alarm input function
ZXWM M920 uses the optical coupler isolation signal to access the alarm inputted by the
external monitoring equipment, and displays it on the NMS through the ALARM_IN
interface on the SEIA board.
The system can access 10 external alarms at most. The alarm type can be set through
the NMS for detection of external environment alarms, such as fan, doors and
temperature.
2
Alarm output function
The equipment alarm is outputted to the WARN interface in the SEIA board and then
outputted to the monitoring display cabinet or other monitoring units in the equipment
room via the ALARM_OUT interface of the SEIA board. Signals are isolated by relays.
3.1.12
System Level Protection

1
OTU board 1:N protection
The WDM networks generally require spare OTU boards and elements. When configured
in protective mode, spare part can realize real-time protection, which is much quicker,
safer and saves maintenance cost.
1:N protection only need to configure OTU and OMCP units at both ends of OTM, and
may utilize the spare OTU board also, which has a low cost.
The processes are shown in Figure 10.

When several paths of services are faulty simultaneously, it is required to protect the

protections.

Power Supply Protection
It has 1+1 power protection on the sub-rack with two power inputs. The sub-rack power
module PBX fulfills reverse connection prevention, soft start, balance and supervision of
two power inputs. The information is sent to PWSB on the top of rack for processing and
reporting to NM via alarm cable.
3.1.13
Network level Protection

Optical Path 1+1 Protection

i
Protection principles
The optical path 1+1 protection is implemented with the OP board, by sending
concurrently and receiving selectively in both working path and protection path.
ii
Applications
One OP board is used to protect a pair of bidirectional services with the same
wavelength. Under the 1+1 protection case, the number of OP boards configured is
the same as that of protected channels.
iii
18
Chain networking
The protection path and the protected path are transmitted in the same fiber. On the
chain networking, 1+1 protection can only perform equipment protection instead of
route protection, as shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11

Optical Path Layer 1+1 Protection (Chain Networking)
Ring networking
On the ring networking, the protection path and the protected path reach the

2-fiber bidirectional path shared protection

In the 2-fiber bidirectional path shared protection ring, 1 of the external ring forms the
working path, and 1 of the internal ring forms the protection path. The working path
allows wavelength multiplexing of multiple unidirectional services, and the protection path
shares protection of all services on the working path. Meanwhile, the optical switch can
be connected via OPCS (path shared protection board) to control the adding status of
adding protection wavelengths, so as to avoid conflict, on the protection ring, of multiple
services that use the same working wavelength.
In Figure 14, for example, as optical fibers on a certain span failed (indicated by the
symbol of ), services passing this span are broken, thus the access switch starts
operation at the transmitting end, and services are transmitted along the protection route.
When the two switching switches at the receiving end start operation, services are
received from the protection route, and the service protection is actualized.

Network management channel backup

In DWDM transmission networks, network management information is transmitted
through an optical supervisory channel, which is generally transmitted through the same
optical fiber with main channel. In case of any failure in main channel, it will also affect
the supervisory channel, i.e. loss of control on NE. In the condition of high traffic and
backbone network, it is not affordable to lose control. To solve such problems, ZXWM
M920 provides abundant measurements and protection to the supervisory channel.
In ring network, when certain section fails (e.g. optical fiber damage) in a certain direction,
network management information automatically switch to the optical supervisory channel
in the other direction of the ring without affecting the management of the whole network.
In chain network, the situation is more critical, because breakage in optical fiber means
breakage of supervisory channel. Consequently, network management administrators are
unable to get the supervisory information of failed station. To avoid this accident, network
management information should use the backup channel. By using data communication
network (DCN) and routers, ZXWM M920 can provide backup network management
channel.
When the network is normal, network management information is transmitted over the
main supervisory channel, as shown in Figure 15.
21
Figure 15
Network management through supervisory channel
On the failure of main supervisory channel, network elements automatically switch the
management information to the backup channel to guarantee that the network
management system can supervise and operate the entire network, as illustrated in the
Figure 16.

L0/L1/L2 integrated transport technologies

ZXWM M920 WDM platform integrates L0/L1/L2 transport technologies and enables the
flexible accessing and dispatching of service, especially the prevailing Ethernet service.
ZXWM M920 offers three kinds of ROADM technology aiming at different scenarios to
provide the most cost-effective solution for the customer. ZXWM M920s multi-degree
ROADM based on WSS technology enables the wavelength routing and accelerates the
deployment of new services.
To better transport the Ethernet service, ZXWM M920 offers both transparent
transmission and statistic multiplexing of Ethernet service, the former is based on TDM
technology without affecting the Ethernet service, the latter is based on L2 switch
technology to enhance the transport efficiency of Ethernet service and reduce the
CAPEX and OPEX of the network. ZXWM M920s L2 switch supports E-Line(EPL &
EVPL) and E-LAN.
23
3.1.17
ROADM Function
ROADM supports dynamic wavelengths add/drop through remote control from NMS. In
directionless configuration, the wavelength can be retrieved or assigned from/to any
direction. In colorless configuration, any port can add/drop any wavelength. ZTE ROADM
solutions are based on the WB (wavelength blocker), PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) and
WSS (Wavelength Selective Switch) technology, which can support 2~9 directions
ROADM solution.
ROADM provides node reconfiguration, implements connection between any two nodes,
wavelength-level add/drop and pass-through configuration without manual intervention,
thus addressing service demands and cutting operation & maintenance cost. In addition,
the adoption of ULH WDM techniques greatly reduces full-band service terminations and
undesirable O-E regeneration, enabling a highly scalable network, and saving equipment
investment. With ROADM, multi-ring, mesh and star can be formed flexibly, adapting to
dynamic characteristics and networking requirements for future service networks.
ZXWM M920 supports colorless and directionless ROADM solutions which are the most
flexible. Colorless means any wavelength can be assigned to any port. Directionless
means any direction can be assigned to any port.
ZXWM M920 ROADM supports multiple networking modes, meets networking
requirements at different levels. The Comparison of ROADM networking schemes is
shown as below table.

Electrical Cross-Connect Function

Electrical Cross-Connect system can access data services including GE, FC, FICON,
ESCON, SDH and DVB. The services can be aggregated into multiple ODUk services on
the tributary convergence board and be cross connected at a granularity of
ODU0/ODU1/ODU2. Then the cross connected signals are aggregated into OTU2 on the
group convergence board and are eventually output from the line-side interface.
Electrical Cross-Connect system is categorized as centralized or distributed switching
platform in .
Figure 18 Electrical Cross-Connect System Structural Diagram
As the figure shown, Electrical Cross-Connect system is composed of customer-side

aggregation, line-side aggregation, and switching units. So it can achieve sub-wavelength
dispatching. The Electrical Cross-Connect system can access multi-service such as,
Ethernet, SDH, Fiber Channel (1G/2G), ESCON, FICON, etc. And it adopts a powerful
electrical-layer cross-connect capability and enables trunk and wavelength conversion.
Adding/dropping services and pass-through services can occupy different sub-
25
wavelengths in a single wavelength for transmission, minimizing pass-through

wavelengths and resulting in wavelength saving and lowered CAPEX.
There are many kinds of tributary convergence boards, which multiplex the customer-side
services and transmit them to the cross-connect unit via the backplane interface.
The cross-connect unit, which named CSUB, has clock processing and backplane signal
cross-connect functions. The CSUB choose an advanced clock from line clocks and
external clocks as system clock.
The tributary convergence units include DSAC, SAUC and SMUBC boards. DSAC board
has 8 ports and can access multi-data service respectively. SAUC board can assess 4
STM-16 signals. SMUBC board can assess 10G signals
Per group convergence board, the 10G line board (OTU2 Line card 1*10G) receives the
signals from the backplane, and aggregates them into OTU2 to output at the line side.
And the name of group convergence board is SMUBL.
The centralized Electrical Cross-Connect system can achieve the sub-wavelength switch.
The switching capacity is 360G. It also can cooperate with the ROADM to achieve
wavelength and sub-wavelength switch.
The distributed service switching platform (DSS) consists of four data service access
cards (DSAB), and each card is composed of line side unit, client unit and switching
matrix. Client unit can access multi-service such as Ethernet, SDH, Fiber Channel
(1G/2G), ESCON, FICON, etc. The non-blocking service switching between these four
cards can realize sub-wavelength service dispatching or multicasting between multiple
directions. The switching granularity can be ODU0/ODU1/ODU2. Total switching capacity
of each DSS is 80G and single subrack can support multiple DSS. The cross connected
signals are aggregated into OTU2 on the group convergence board and are eventually
output from the line-side unit.
In DSS subsystem, switching matrix is distributed on service card and doesnt occupy
other service slots. Such highly integrated cards can reduce power consumption
effectively.
3.1.19
Wavelength Tuning Function

Traditional DWDM systems use fixed wavelength lasers as light sources, which only
output fixed wavelengths complying with the specifications of ITU-T G.692. Fixed
wavelength lasers can not be fully utilized when they are used as standby light sources,
which results in the increase of cost. With the continuous development of light source
technology, a kind of tunable wavelength laser that can meet the requirement for multiwavelength tuning appears.
The tunable wavelength laser refers to a laser module that can be controlled to output
different wavelengths in a certain bandwidth. The channel quantity and channel spacing
of the output wavelengths meet the specifications of ITU-T G.692. With the application of
tunable wavelength lasers, wavelengths can be selected dynamically for signals in a
DWDM system according to the actual application of wavelengths. Especially when the
system uses standby light sources, using tunable wavelength lasers can improve the
utilization ratio of wavelengths.
Some service boards of the ZXWM M920 support both fixed wavelength output and
tunable wavelength output. The below table lists the boards supporting tunable
26
wavelengths and their tuning ranges (relationship among operating band, channel
quantity and channel spacing).

ZXWM M920 consists of hardware system and NM software system, which are
independent of each other and work coordinately.
ZXWM M920 hardware system consists of optical transfer platform, service convergent
platform, optical wavelength multiplexing (OM) and optical wavelength de-multiplexing
(OD) platforms, add/drop platform, optical amplifying platform and monitoring platform.
4.1.1
Optical transfer platform

It employs Optical/electric/optical conversion mode to convert wavelengths between the
service signals and line signals.
The service signals support the SDH signals at STM-1/4/16/64/256 rates, OC-3/12/48/
192/768 and other service signals (i.e. POS, FC, FICON, ESCON, DVB, FDDI, FE, GbE,
10GbE, ATM and PDH) at the client side, satisfying the G.957, G691 and IEEE802.3
recommendation.
The line signals are compliant with the G.692 recommendation.
4.1.2
Service convergent platform

It converge multiple low-speed signals into one wavelength for transmission, and
completes its reversion process.
The low-speed signals include STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, STM-64 and GbE.
The maximum rate at the line side is 43.018 Gbit/s.
38
4.1.3
OM/OD platform
It consists of two parts: the OM and OD.
1
The OM: It couples and multiplexes multiple optical signals with different
wavelengths from the optical transfer platform and service convergent platform into
one fiber for transmission.
The OD: It separates the line optical signals from the optical amplifying platform by
wavelengths, and sends them to different optical transfer platforms and service
convergent platforms.
The OM and OD of ZXWM M920 employ C band with 100 GHz channel spacing in less
than 40-wavelength transmission.
The OM and OD of ZXWM M920 employ C/L band by using interleaver technology with
50 GHz channel spacing in 40-176-wavelength super-large capacity transmission.
The OM and OD of ZXWM M920 employ C band by using interleaver technology with 25
GHz channel spacing in 192-wavelength super-large capacity transmission.
4.1.4
Add/drop platform
It implements add/drop and multiplexing function for the wavelength of the optical line
signals. The ZXWM M920 can be configured as a fixed optical add/drop multiplexer
(FOADM) or a reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) depending on
whether the wavelengths to be added/dropped are fixed.
4.1.5
Optical amplifying platform

It compensates optical signal power in long distance transmission with optical amplifying
technology. Normally, it is located at the back and in front of the OM/OD platform, as well
as in the middle of the line transmission.
The optical amplifying part of ZXWM M920 employs C band EDFA in less than 40wavelength transmission.
The optical amplifying platform of ZXWM M920 amplifIies the C band and L band
respectively in 40-176-wavelength transmission. The amplifier types involve C band
EDFA, L band EDFA, C+L band RAMAN/EDFA hybrid amplifiers.
4.1.6
Monitoring platform
1
It collects, handles and reports various information like platform configurations,

alarms and performance to the NMS.
It receives the commands sent by the NMS and transfers them to the target board.
It transmits the NMS information with the specified monitoring optical channel. The
wavelength of the monitoring channel is 1510 nm at 100Mbit/s.
The NM Software System is introduced in chapter 4.3

The NM Software System Structure

ZXWM M920 implements software management via Unitrans ZXONM E300 Element
Management Platform for Unix/Windows (ZXONM E300 for short). It can perform various
management functions for faults, performance, security, configuration, and maintenance
of the system.
Designs for ZXONM E300 are based on a four-layered structure including the equipment
layer, the NE layer, the NE management layer and the subnet management layer. It can
also provide the Corba interface for the network management layer.
The hierarchical structure of ZXONM E300 is shown in Figure 31.

The equipment layer (MCU-Manager Control Unit)
The functions of the equipment layer are:
Monitoring alarm and performance status of boards
Receiving EMS commands
Controlling boards to implement certain operations
The NE layer, which is the Agent in the EMS
The functions of the NE layer are:
45
Managing each NE
Configuring each board when NE is powered on for initialization
Monitoring alarm and performance status of whole NEs under normal running
conditions
Receiving and processing the monitoring commands of NE manager layer through

gateway NE (GNE)
The NE management layer (Manager): controls and coordinates a series of NEs,

including Manager, graphical user interface (GUI) and Local Maintenance Terminal
(LMT).
The functions of the NE management layer are:
The core of the NE manager layer is the Manager (or Server), which can manage
multiple subnets, control and coordinate NE equipment.
GUI provides graphic user interfaces and converts the requirements of user
management into the commands of the internal formats and sends them down to the
Manager.
LMT simply combines GUI and Manager via controlling user rights and software
functional parts, provides some of NE management functions for local NEs
commissioning and maintenance.
The subnet management layer: its structure is similar to that of NE management

layer, and the NEs configuration and maintenance commands are indirectly
performed through NE management layer.
The subnet management system sends a command to the NE management system, via
which forwards it to the NE. After then, the NE responds to the subnet management
system through the NE management system. In addition, it can provide the network
management layer with the Corba interface.

Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (OADM)

The ZXWM M920 supports both the Fixed Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (FOADM)
function and the Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) function.
FOADM: This function is used to add/drop fixed wavelengths.
47
ROADM: Wavelengths to be added/ dropped can be reconfigured. In addition, the port

assignment function is available when ROADM is enabled.
The following port assignment function is controlled via the EMS.
In an ROADM node, optical signals with special wavelengths can be assigned to any
drop ports and then dropped through these ports. The wavelengths of these signals meet
the specification of the drop ports assigned for them.
On the other hand, the wavelengths of optical signals input from different add ports can
be converted into the wavelengths of those optical signals having been dropped in the
same node. After that, these optical signals are added at the node.

11 OTU jitter transfer characteristics
In ZXWM M920, the wavelength converter of the OTU has the same jitter transfer
characteristics with that of SDH regenerative repeater, which is compliant with ITU-T
G.825, G.958, and G.783 recommendation.
12 OTU input jitter tolerance
In ZXWM M920, the input jitter template that can be tolerated by the OTU input port is
complaint with ITU-T G.825, G.958, and G.783 Recommendation.

Tributary overhead processing of convergence

board
Convergence board processes segment overhead bytes at each tributary in accordance
with the following table. OTU2 signal at the line can supervise FEC error, uncorrectable
error and SM-BIP8.
Table 62

A1, A2
Frame localization bytes A1 and A2 at each tributary are

regenerated to ensure proper frame encapsulation.
B1
B1 at each tributary are terminated.
B2
If B2 at the line are not modified at multiplexing segment, bit error

information of B2 will be transmitted transparently. Otherwise, the
de-multiplexer will write the information into B2 at related tributary.
D1~D12
They ensure transparency of DCC channel at each tributary.
E1E2
They ensure transparency of order wire channel at each tributary,

that is, transparency of E1 and E2.
F1
It ensures transparency of F byte at each tributary.
J0
It can supervise J0 at each tributary and ensure transparent

transmission.
K1K2
After multiplexed and de-multiplexed by transparent sub-rate

multiplexer, APS byte K1 and K2 at each tributary retain accuracy
of original state, transparent sub-rate multiplexer do not affect

services protection at each tributary.
When S1 at each tributary is terminated, new clock is calculated
again and used. Line interface of transparent sub-rate multiplexer
should support SSM function (processed as SDH equipment).
