What Is DCN?
External DCN DCN stands for data communication network.
NMS A DCN provides communication channels for
managing NEs in a centralized manner to

of NEs.

Scenario 1: Point to Point (Independent Channels)

Description of the scenario:
The protocol converter performs protocol conversion and point-to-point transmission.
In this scenario, protocol converters are used in pairs. That is, the number of protocol converters that are used in the NM center is equal
to the number of protocol converters that are used at the remote pass-through point.

Advantages and disadvantages of the solution:

The advantage of this solution is simplicity. The disadvantage is that, in the case of multiple pass-through points, the number of protocol
converters in the NM center is large and many transmission channels are occupied. Therefore, this solution is applicable to the scenario
wherein only a few pass-through points exist.

Scenario 2: Point to Multipoint (Independent Channels)

When multiple pass-through points exist, adopt the C-Converter that supports multiple inputs to reduce the number of converters in the
NM center.

E1/64K/RS232 etc
ETH

One E1_C_Converter is used with multiple E1_Converters. Multiple E1 channels, however, are occupied. Therefore, this solution is
applicable to a network wherein E1 channels are sufficient.

Scenario 3: Cascading Converters (Shared Channels)

In practice, as E1 bandwidths are valuable, multiple protocol converters may share one E1; that is, each converter occupies one or
several 64 kbit/s timeslots of the E1. As a result, the converters are cascaded.

ETH NM signal

DCN communication on the entire chain is implemented over one E1, and the E1_MUX_Converters consume fewer E1 bandwidths. This
solution is applicable to a complex network.
Note: Currently, only the E1 protocol converter supports the cascading.

Scenario 4: E1 Convergence (Shared Channels)

In actual operations, multiple E1 channels may be converged into one E1 channel. Specifically, the 64 kbit/s timeslots in use in the E1
channels are converged into one E1 channel. Similar to the NM center, the convergence point converges multiple directions into one
direction. In this case, an E1_C_Converter is required.

Scenario 5: Passing Through a Live IP Network

An IP network is available between an OptiX RTN NE and the NM center. In this case, no protocol conversion is required. In addition,
the live IP network and the OptiX RTN NE are located in different network segments in most cases. Therefore, it is recommended that
you configure one router at each pass-through point and in the NM center for data transfer between the network segments.

Case 1: Sharing E1 Channels
See the following figure. There are eight pass-through points and one E1 convergence point. The pass-through points form a tree
topology and each pass-through point needs to transmit NM information to the NM center. The chains on which NM information is
transmitted share one E1. On the chains, each interconnected point occupies one to several 64 kbit/s timeslots in the E1.

In the case of a large-scale network comprising only Huawei radio equipment, divide the network into subnets and set a gateway
NE for each subnet. Group a maximum of 60 adjacent NEs into one subnet. See the following figure. The network is divided into

Q: How to obtain documents about protocol converters?

A: Visit The description of Protocol Converter on website 3ms.
Q:Why hybrid network with a third party recommended protocol converter?
A: If possible, you can also use the Ethernet transparent transmission DCN information.but in the existing TDM
microwave network, Ethernet ports are scarce, generally no Ethernet interface, in most cases need to use protocol
converters for conversion information transmit DCN. If you are using the Ethernet network to allow transmission
through the DCN information, will be a very good program.
