2 Mbit/s PDH/SDH Generic Tributary protection OMS 1260
The four worker 2M tributary cards can be fitted in any number and combination.
Tributary Card Protection General
For all tributary card protection schemes, when a switch to protection card occurs, all
tributary input/output signal related alarm reports are suppressed on the affected
worker card.
7.8.1.2 Protection
LTUs
The OMS 1240 uses a range of LTUs that provide all the required physical interfaces
for a particular generic tributary card function. It is necessary to fit both worker and
protection tributary LTUs. The LTU performs traffic routing onto the protection bus
connections.
Only a single LTU slot is available for each generic tributary card, for example, a PDH
34M tributary card LTU supports all three traffic I/O ports.
Direct driving of the LTU control lines from the traffic processor of the core card is
supported in order to achieve fast protection switching (<50ms).
7.8.1.3
Generic Tributary Card Protection Configuration Rules
For tributary card protection to become available, you must configure the appropriate
scheme via the local terminal, or from the EM. The following must be configured
before tributary card protection is possible:
•
The card(s) to be protected must be selected, and the protection card
specified.
•
The protection tributary slot must be equipped with a tributary card, which
has been logically added.
•
The appropriate LTUs must be fitted for the nominated protection card (refer
to the LTU rules in Section 7.8.1.2 above).
•
Automatic protection switching mode is Enabled/Disabled. Enable/Disable of
automatic protection is achieved by use of the lockout of protection
command.
