Huawei SSN1ETF8 SSND0ETF8A11 SSND0PETF811 ETF8 Description

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.

Application

The PETF8 is mainly used in the packet data transmission field to transmit/receive data packets, manage bandwidths, and realize switching of data packets.

Figure 1 shows the typical networking and application of the PETF8. The PETF8 works with the cross-connect board that provides the packet switching function to meet the requirement of packet features. With this board, the TDM domain can be overlapped with the packet domain on the OptiX OSN equipment to transmit data in the two domains. In this way, the equipment realizes the smooth evolution from the MSTP network to the packet switching network.

Working Principle and Signal Flow

The PETF8 consists of the access and converging module, control and driving module, voltage detecting module, clock module, and power module.

Figure 1 shows the functional block diagram of the PETF8.

Figure 1 Functional block diagram of the PETF8

Upstream Direction

The services in the upstream direction are accessed by the FE ports. The service packets are added with different VLAN tags according to the ingress ports. Then, the services are transmitted to the GE port on the backplane side. As a result, the FE services are converged into the GE services. After the PEG16 receives the packets, the PEG8/PEG16 identifies the ports to which the services correspond according to the VLAN tags and strips the VLAN tags.

Downstream Direction

The services in the downstream direction are added with VLAN tags on the PEG8/PEG16 according to the destination ports. Then, the services are accessed by the GE port on the backplane side. The VLAN tags indicate the destination ports of the service packets. The service packets are sent to the destination ports after the VLAN tags are stripped.

Access and Converging Module

The access and converging module performs the following functions:

• Transmits/Receives 8xFE electrical signals.
• Converges 8xFE services into 1xGE services on the backplane side.
• Extracts the IEEE 1588v2 clock information.

Control and Driving Module

The control and driving module performs the following functions:

• Detects the system status through the management control bus.
  • Checks whether the board is properly inserted.
  • Detects the voltage of the PETF8.
• Realizes the hot-swappable function of the PETF8.

Voltage Detecting Module

The voltage detecting module monitors the voltage.

Clock Module

The clock module performs the following functions:

• Provides the working clock signal for each module of the PETF8.
• Supports the synchronous Ethernet clock.
• Supports the IEEE 1588v2 clock.

Power Module

The power module converts the accessed DC voltage into the DC voltages that the modules of the PETF8 require.
