Electrical Cross-Connection Configuration

In this user interface, you can create normal electrical cross-connections and SNCP services. You can also perform conversion between these two types of services. If the created service is not properly configured during configuration, the U2000 Web LCT does not send the new service data to NEs and it automatically notifies the operator.

Navigation Path

In the NE Explorer, click an NE and choose Configuration > Electrical Cross-Connection Service Management from the Function Tree. Click the Electrical Cross-Connection Configuration tab.

Parameters

**Table 1** Electrical Cross-Connection Configuration
Field	Value	Description
Service Level	GE, Any, OTU1, OTU2, OTU3, ODU0, ODU1, ODU2, ODU3, ODU5G	Specifies the level of the new service.
Direction	Bidirectional, Unidirectional	If the receive service and transmit service have the same route, they are regarded as a bidirectional service. If the receive service and transmit service have different routes, they are two unidirectional services.
Service Type	For GE, OTUK and ODUk services, this value cannot be modified. For Any services, FE, FC50, STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, OC3, OC12, OC48, FC100, FC200, FICON, FICON Express, HDSDI, DVBASI, SDI, ESCON, FDDI, IBSDR, IBDDR	Specifies the type of the new service.
Occupied ODTUk Timeslots	1 to 8	Indicates the quantity of ODUflex timeslots. NOTE: Set this parameter when Level of a WDM cross-connection is ODUflex and Service Type is Custom or PACKET. The quantity of ODUflex timeslots ranges from 1 to 8, and the rate that ODUflex supports is 1.25 Gbit/s (1 x 1.25 Gbit/s) to 10 Gbit/s (8 x 1.25 Gbit/s). Recommended value for Occupied ODTUk Timeslots: Calculation formula: recommended quantity of occupied ODTUk timeslots = service rate of the port/ODU0 rate (1.25 Gbit/s). If the result is not an integer, the timeslot quantity is the integer number of the result plus 1. Principle: If the source and sink boards are tributary and line boards respectively, the recommended timeslot quantity is that of the tributary board service. If the source and sink boards are line boards, there is no the recommended timeslot quantity.
Service Rate(bit/s)	1 to 9993964557	Indicates or sets the service rate. NOTE: Set this parameter when Level of a WDM cross-connection is ODUflex and Service Type is Custom.
Source Slot	Equipment that supports the master and slave shelf management: shelf ID(shelf name)-slot number-board name Equipment that does not support the master and slave shelf management: slot number-board name	Displays the source slot of the service.
Source Port	For example: 1(LP/LP)	Displays the source port of the service.
Source Optical Path (e.g. 1,3-6)	For example: 3-1	Displays the source optical path of the service.
Sink Slot	Equipment that supports the master and slave shelf management: shelf ID(shelf name)-slot number-board name Equipment that does not support the master and slave shelf management: slot number-board name	Displays the sink slot of the service.
Sink Port	For example: 201(AP1/AP1)	Displays the sink port of the service.
Sink Optical Path (e.g. 1,3-6)	For example: 3-1	Displays the sink optical path of the service.
Remarks	The maximum length is 32 characters.	Displays the remarks for the service.

**Table 2** Create SNCP
Field	Value	Description
Protection Type	SW SNCP, ODUk SNCP	Specifies the level of the new service.
Direction	Bidirectional, Unidirectional	If the receive service and transmit service have the same route, they are regarded as a bidirectional service. If the receive service and transmit service have different routes, they are two unidirectional services.
OTN level	For SNC/N: PM, TCM1, TCM2, TCM3, TCM4, TCM5, TCM6 For SNC/S: TCM1, TCM2, TCM3, TCM4, TCM5, TCM6	Sets the OTN level of the service.
SNCP Type	For SW SNCP and MSSNCP: none For ODUk SNCP: SNC/I, SNC/N, SNC/S	Displays the protection type of the service.
Service Type	For SW SNCP: GE, FE,FC50, STM1, STM4, STM16, OC3, OC12, OC48, FC100, FC200, FICON, FICON Expresss, HDSDI, DVBASI, SDI, ESCON, FDDI, IBSDR, IBDDR For ODUk SNCP: ODU0, ODU1, ODU2, ODU3, ODU5G	Specifies the service type of the new service.
Revertive Mode	Revertive, Non-Revertive	Chooses whether the service is switched to the original working path after the failure is eliminated. If you want the service to be switched back to the original working path then, select Revertive. If you do not want the service to be switched back then, select Non-Revertive.
WTR Time (mm:ss)	5:00-12:00	Sets the wait-to-restore time. It is 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. You can modify the Revertive Mode only when the value is Revertive.
Protection Channel Hold-Off Time (100ms)	0-100	Sets the time interval between the time when the system detects signal degrade and the time when the service switching occurs, in order to avoid repeated switching when the service status is not stable. The Protection Channel Hold-Off Time (100ms) is the switching delay time for protection channel.
Working Channel Hold-Off Time (100ms)	0-100	Sets the time interval between the time when the system detects signal degrade and the time when the service switching occurs, in order to avoid repeated switching when the service status is not stable. The Working Channel Hold-Off Time (100ms) is the switching delay time for working channel.
SD Enabling Flag	Enabled, Disabled	Sets the SD enabling flag.
ODUflex Service Type	For example: FC400	Indicate the service type of the configured port. NOTE: Set this parameter when Service Type of a WDM cross-connection is ODUflex.
Occupied ODTUk Timeslots	1 to 8	Indicates the quantity of ODUflex timeslots. NOTE: Set this parameter when Level of a WDM cross-connection is ODUflex and Service Type is Custom or PACKET. The quantity of ODUflex timeslots ranges from 1 to 8, and the rate that ODUflex supports is 1.25 Gbit/s (1 x 1.25 Gbit/s) to 10 Gbit/s (8 x 1.25 Gbit/s). Recommended value for Occupied ODTUk Timeslots: Calculation formula: recommended quantity of occupied ODTUk timeslots = service rate of the port/ODU0 rate (1.25 Gbit/s). If the result is not an integer, the timeslot quantity is the integer number of the result plus 1. Principle: If the source and sink boards are tributary and line boards respectively, the recommended timeslot quantity is that of the tributary board service. If the source and sink boards are line boards, there is no the recommended timeslot quantity.
Service Rate(bit/s)	1 to 9993964557	Indicates or sets the service rate. NOTE: Set this parameter when Level of a WDM cross-connection is ODUflex and Service Type is Custom.
Source Slot	Equipment that supports the master and slave shelf management: shelf ID(shelf name)-slot number-board name Equipment that does not support the master and slave shelf management: slot number-board name	Displays the source slot of the cross-connection.
Source Port	Port No. (Port name)	Displays the source port of the cross-connection.
Source Path (e.g.1,3-6)	Slot-Optical port No.-Optical path No.	Displays the source path of the cross-connection.
