ODUk SPRing

The ODUk SPRing protection mainly applies to the ring network with distributed services. This protection uses two different wavelengths to achieve the protection of multiple distributed services between all stations. In this user interface, you can configure the east working channel, west working channel, protection channel, span ID and management node of the ODUk ring network protection.

Navigation Path

In the NE Explorer, select an NE and choose Configuration > ODUk SPRing from the Function Tree.

Buttons

Button	Description
Start Protocol	Starts the automatic protection switching protocol.
Stop Protocol	Stops the automatic protection switching protocol.
Query	Queries the ODUk protection group from the NE.
New	Creates an ODUk ring network protection.
Add Working Unit	Adds working units of the ODUk ring network protection.
Delete Working Unit	Deletes working units of the ODUk ring network protection.
Delete	Deletes the protection group.
Apply	Applies the configuration of the ODUk protection group to the NE.

Shortcut Menu Items

Shortcut Menu Item	Description
Bound Span ID	Sets the span ID for the protection unit.
Unbound Span ID	Deletes the span ID for the protection unit.
Lockout	Locks out the switching.
Forced Switching-Ring	Forcibly switches the service from the working channel to the protection channel. This switching does not consider the status of the protection channel, unless the protection channel must satisfy higher priority bridge request.
Manual Switching-Ring	Performs manual switching from the working channel to the protection channel. If the protection channel is normal, the switching takes place. If the protection channel has a failure or must satisfy higher priority switching, the switching does not take place.
Exercise Switching-Ring	Simulates the switching operation. It is not a real switching. By simulating the switching, you can test the multiplex section protection function of the ring network, without interrupting services.
Clear	Clears all the switching.

Parameters

Field	Value	Description
Protection Group ID	1 to 65535	Displays the ID of the protection group.
Level	ODU1, ODU2, ODU3	Displays the level of the protection group.
Protocol Type	Common Style, Enhanced Style	Sets the protocol type. In Common Style protection, ODU1, ODU2 level is supported. In Enhanced Style protection, ODU0, ODU1, ODU2, ODU3, ODU4 level is supported. NOTE: Enhanced style protocol can be set only when all the NEs in the ODUk ring network support the enhanced style protocol.
Select Mapping Direction	West Working Unit, West Protection Unit, East Working Unit, East Protection Unit	Select channels for working and protection units in west or east.
Available Channel	Equipment that supports the master and slave shelf management: shelf ID(shelf name)-slot number-board name-port number(port name)-channel number Equipment that does not support the master and slave shelf management: slot number-board name-port number(port name)-channel number	Channel to be selected.
Selected Channel	Default: Null	Displays the selecting channel. You can create a protection group when the Selected Channel contains at least East Protection Unit and West Protection Unit.
Switching Status	Unknown, The protocol is not started, The protocol is to be started, Idle, East Switching, West Switching, Full Pass-Through, APS Byte Pass-Through	Displays the switching status of the protection group.

Remote/Near End - West	Unknown, Remote-End, Near-End	Displays the west remote and local ends indication. Near-End: Indicates the local node, that is, the transmit end of the service. Remote-End: Indicates the west adjacent node, that is, the respond end of the service.
Remote/Near End - East	Unknown, Remote-End, Near-End	Displays the east remote and local ends indication. Near-End: Indicates the local node, that is, the transmit end of the service. Remote-End: Indicates the west adjacent node, that is, the respond end of the service.
WTR Time (mm:ss)	5:00-12:00	Indicates the time interval between the time when the working service is detected to be normal after switching and the time when the service is switched back to the working path.
SD Switching	Enabled, Disabled	Displays whether the SD enable flag is enabled.
Management Node	Yes, No	Displays whether it is the management node. The ODUk SPRing protection group must contain only one management node. The management node must be bound with services to serve as the source or sink node of the services. When configuring the management node, one direction at least of the east and west working units is bound with a span ID. In a common ODUk SPRing protection group, there must be only one management node. In an enhanced ODUk SPRing protection group, management nodes are not essential to services. A general node may or may not be bound with services. A node not bound with services is a passthrough node. Such a passthrough node facilitates forming a protection route when the services at another node are switched.
Protection Unit	West Working Unit, West Protection Unit, East Working Unit, East Protection Unit	Displays the east working unit, west working unit, east protection unit and west protection unit.
Channel Information	Equipment that supports the master and slave shelf management: NE name-shelf ID(shelf name)-slot number-board name-port number(port name) Equipment that does not support the master and slave shelf management: NE name-slot number-board name-port number(port name) NOTE: For details about the differences between the standard and compatibility modes, see the Impacts of the Standard Mode on the Web LCT in Channel Model (OTU, Line or PID Board).	Displays the east working channel, west working channel, east protection channel and west protection channel.
Span ID	1-31	Displays the span ID.
Channel Status	Normal, SF, SD, Unmonitored, Unknown	Displays the channel status.
Hold-Off Time (s)	Working Unit: 0.0-10 Protection Unit: 0.5-10 Default value: Working Unit: 0, Protection Unit: 0.5	Displays the hold-off time. The hold-off time of the protection unit should be longer than that of the working unit.
