Creating ODUk SNCP Service

The ODUk SNCP protection is ODU0-level, ODU1-level, ODU2-level, ODU3-level and ODUflex-level service protection at current system. It is realized through the combination use of the tributary board that support with the ODU0, ODU1, ODU2, ODU3 or ODUflex cross-connection and the line board.

Prerequisites

You must be an NM user with "NE operator" authority or higher.

Context

The ODUk SNCP protection is of ODU0, ODU1, ODU2, ODU3 and ODUflex level.

The configuration mode of ODUK SNCP described in this section can only realize the configuration of selective receiving. The dual fed function needs to be configured at the source end. Two electrical cross-connect services are independently configured to realize the function.

You can configure bidirectional services with the ODUK SNCP protection. To configure a bidirectional service with the ODUK SNCP protection, the U2000 Web LCT automatically adds two normal WDM services in the reverse direction on the basis of the unidirectional service with the ODUK SNCP protection.

In the example described in this section, the source and sink stations should be configured with the following cross-connect services (supposing that the boards at the source and sink ends share the same configurations):

Source: Shelf3(Shelf3)-5-12NS2-51(ODU1LP/ODU1LP)-1; sink: Shelf3(Shelf3)-7-12TQM-201(ClientLP/ClientLP)-1, unidirectional cross-connection
Source: Shelf3(Shelf3)-6-12NS2-51(ODU1LP/ODU1LP)-1; sink: Shelf3(Shelf3)-7-12TQM-201(ClientLP/ClientLP)-1, unidirectional cross-connection

NOTE:

For the configuration principle and process of the electrical cross-connection with the ODUk SNCP protection, refer to Configuration Guide.

Procedure

In the NE Explorer, choose Configuration > Electrical Cross-Connection Service Management from the function tree.
In the Electrical Cross-Connection Configuration tab, click Create SNCP. The Create SNCP dialog box is displayed. In the Protection Type drop-down list, select ODUk SNCP. Set Service Type and Direction. Refer to Parameters to enter other parameters of this protection group.
NOTE:
- When configuring the SNCP services, first configure the service type of the WDM interface of the OTU. For detailed configuration method, refer to Configuration Guide
- When you set Direction to Bidirectional, the U2000 Web LCT automatically creates two routes in the reverse direction.
- For details about operation differences between the standard and compatibility modes, see the Impacts of the Standard Mode on the U2000 Web LCT.
Click OK, and the created protection groups are displayed in the Electrical Cross-Connection Configuration tab.
