OSN 3500 is a new-generation optical transmission system developed by Huawei. It adopts a unified switching architecture and can function as an MPLS/MPLS-TP-based packet device or a TDM device. When working with other devices of Huawei, OSN 3500 supports various networking modes, including the pure packet mode, hybrid networking (packet + TDM) mode, and pure TDM mode, achieving optimal processing for packet services and traditional SDH services. Thus, OSN 3500 efficiently transmits voice and data services over the same platform.

This section describes the hardware updates in V200R013C30 and later versions as well as the reasons for the updates. Any product versions that are not listed in the document means that they have no hardware updates.
Application
The SLH1 is a line board. The SLH1 can be used on the OptiX OSN equipment series to transmit and receive STM-1 optical/electrical signals. The SLH1 converts the received optical signals into electrical signals and sends the electrical signals to the cross-connect side, or directly sends the received electrical signals to the cross-connect side. In addition, the SLH1 converts the electrical signals sent from the cross-connect side into optical signals and transmits the optical signals.

Working Principle and Signal Flow
The SLH1 consists of the CDR module, SDH overhead processing module, logic and control module, and power module. The external services are accessed by the external interface boards EU08 and OU08. The EU08 is an electrical interface board and the OU08 is an optical interface board.

CDR Module
This module restores the clock signal.
SDH Overhead Processing Module
this module includes the RST, MST, MSA, and HPT sub-modules. This module provides the inloop and outloop functions.
- RST sub-module
- In the receive direction, the RST sub-module terminates the regenerator section overhead (RSOH). That is, the RST sub-module detects the frame alignment bytes (A1 and A2), descrambles all the bytes except the first line of the RSOH, restores and checks the regenerator section trace byte (J0), and checks the B1 byte.
- In the transmit direction, the RST sub-module generates the RSOH. That is, the RST sub-module writes bytes such as A1, A2, and J0, calculates and writes the B1 byte, and scrambles all the bytes except the first line of the RSOH.
- MST sub-module
- In the receive direction, the MST sub-module terminates the multiplex section overhead (MSOH). That is, the MST sub-module generates the multiplex section-alarm indication signal (MS_AIS) alarm and detects the multiplex section-remote defect indication (MS_RDI) alarm after detecting the K2 byte, and detects the multiplex section-remote error indication (MS_REI) alarm and generates the B2-excessive errors (B2_EXC) alarm after checking the B2 byte.
- In the transmit direction, the MST sub-module generates the MSOH. That is, the MST sub-module writes bytes such as E2, D4-D12, K1, K2, S1, and M1, and calculates and writes the B2 byte.
- MSA sub-module
- In the receive direction, the MSA sub-module de-interleaves the administration unit group (AUG), divides an AUG into N AU-4s, detects the administration unit-loss of pointer (AU_LOP) alarm and the administration unit-alarm indication signal (AU_AIS) alarm, and performs pointer justifications.
- In the transmit direction, the MSA sub-module assembles the AUG and generates the AU-4. N AU-4s are multiplexed into an AUG through byte interleaving.
- HPT sub-module
- In the receive direction, the HPT sub-module terminates the path overhead (POH). That is, the HPT sub-module detects the higher order path-remote error indication (HP_REI) alarm after checking the B3 byte, generates the higher order path-trace identifier mismatch (HP_TIM) alarm and the higher order path-signal label mismatch (HP_SLM) alarm and detects the higher order path-remote defect indication (HP_RDI) alarm after detecting the J1 and C2 bytes, and generates the higher order path-unequipped (HP_UNEQ) alarm after detecting the C2 byte.
- In the transmit direction, the HPT sub-module generates the POH. That is, the HPT sub-module writes bytes such as J1 and C2, and calculates and writes the B3 byte.
Logic and Control Module
- Manages and configures the other modules of the board.
- Performs inter-board communication through the internal Ethernet interface.
- Traces the clock signal from the active and standby cross-connect units.
- Controls the laser.
- Passes the orderwire and ECC bytes through an ADM that consists of two paired slots when the GSCC is not in position.
- Selects the clock signal and frame header signal from the active and standby cross-connect units.
- Controls the indicators on the board.
Power Module
It converts the -48 V/-60 V power supply into the DC voltages that the modules of the board require.
Front Panel
The front panel of the SLH1 has indicators and a bar code.
Diagram of the Front Panel
The front panel of the SLH1 does not have an interface. Hence, the SLH1 must be used with the EU08 or OU08. Figure 1 shows the appearance of the front panel of the SLH1.
Indicators
The front panel of the board has the following indicators:
- Board hardware status indicator (STAT) - two colors (red and green)
- Service activation status indicator (ACT) - one color (green)
- Board software status indicator (PROG) - two colors (red and green)
- Service alarm indicator (SRV) - three colors (red, green, and yellow)
For the meanings of the status of the indicators, see Indicators.
Valid Slots
The SLH1 must be installed in a valid slot in the subrack. Otherwise, the SLH1 fails to work normally.
The slots valid for the SLH1 vary with the cross-connect capacity of the subrack. The SLH1 needs to work with the OU08/EU08 and TSB8. The slots valid for the SLH1 are as follows:
- When the cross-connect capacity is 200 Gbit/s, the SLH1 can be installed in slots 2-5 and 13-16.
Board Protection
The SLH1 supports the 1:N (N≤3) tributary protection switching (TPS) protection.
Protection Principle
The TPS protection is equipment-level protection. When the working board fails, the accessed signals are switched to the protection board. Hence, complex network-level protection operations such as the MSP and SNCP are not triggered. In addition, the reliability of the equipment is enhanced.
The SLH1 can work with the EU08 and TSB8 to realize one 1:N (N≤3) TPS protection group for 8xSTM-1 or 16xSTM-1 electrical signals. Figure 1 shows the TPS protection provided by the SLH1.
- Normal stateWhen each working board functions normally, the traffic signal is directly transmitted to the corresponding working board through position 1 of the control switch on the interface board.
- Switching stateWhen a working board detects a failure and requires the switching operation, the control switch of the corresponding interface board switches from position 1 to position 2. At the same time, the control switch of the protection switching board switches to the corresponding position so that the protection board can protect the failed working board.
NOTE:
TPS trigger conditions on the OptiX OSN equipment are detected by the cross-connect and timing board. Therefore, TPS is successful even though the system control board cannot be detected or is faulty.
Hardware Configuration
Figure 2 shows the slot configuration for two 1:3 TPS protection groups for 16xSTM-1 signals of the SLH1.
In Figure 2, the board in slot 2 protects the boards in slots 3-5. The board in slot 16 protects the boards in slots 13-15.
Table 1 lists the slots for the SLH1, EU08, and TSB8.
Board | Protection Group 1 | Protection Group 2 |
---|---|---|
SLH1 (protection board) | Slot 2 | Slot 16 |
TSB8 | Slots 19-20 | Slots 35-36 |
SLH1 (working board) | Slots 3-5 | Slots 13-15 |
EU08 | Slots 21-26 | Slots 29-34 |
NOTE:
When the equipment is configured for two 1:3 TPS protection groups for 8xSTM-1 signals of the SLH1, the TSB8 and EU08 can be inserted only in the odd slots.
