HighlihtsThe CWDM MultiServicePlatform

enables the transmission of up to eightindependent wavelengths over a singledark fiber. Costs for additional fiber issaved while gaining a flexible migrationpath with low initial costs. By using thewider channel spacing of 20 nm costsare saved due to the use of less expensi-ve components compared to DWDMtechnology.Various types of channel (wavelength)modules such as the BFX-1 FiberopticX-Connection Module, the CCM-1CWDM Channel Module, or the BTM 4-1 Timemultiplexer guarantee the bestsuitable integration in existing or plan-ned fiber networks. The CWDMFiberPilot provides carriers the ability tocreate ring and meshed networks for theaccess environment.The CWDM MultiServicePlatform combi-nes new and unique functionality but atreduced cost. Less inventory and sparepart costs are required due to its modu-lar design and future investment is guar-anteed by flexible migration capabilities.

MultiplexingWhen many applications need to betransmitted over few fibers, the CWDMFiberPilot creates multiple channels byusing up to eight independent wave-lengths.The channel modules such as BFX-1,CCM-1 or even the BTM 4-1 are con-nected to a passive filter module CFM.Eight high-speed applications (up to 2.5Gbit/s) or 32 low-speed applications (upto 200 Mbit/s) are concentrated into asingle fiber pair. By using the BTM 4-1as a CWDM channel module the smal-lest 32 channel multiplexer is created.All modules are housed in the 19´´chassis that measures only 3 units inheight.

Point to Point BackupThe CWDM FiberPilot functions as afully automatic channel backup system.The application data is internally dupli-cated and transmitted via two geographi-cally dispersed fiber pairs. In the event ofa primary link failure (even if causedby a laser failure) the far end selects andswitches the transported applications tothe secondary fiber.The CWDM MultiServicePlatform deli-vers increased reliability and protectionfor transported applications both on aper channel or per link basis. Per chan-nel protection is achieved through eachchannel module independently comman-ding the switching function.No central management module isresponsible for backup control even inmulti-wavelength ring and meshsystems. All switching is reported to thenetwork management and numerous sta-tistics are gathered to allow for qualityof service reporting.When all applications require enhancedresilience the WDL-3 optical switch ena-bles cost-effective protection of the entireCWDM data stream.

Document Number 40695 Page 2 of 13

Point to Multipoint (PON)When data needs to be distributed tonumerous destinations from a centralpoint, a passive CWDM Filter Modulecan be positioned at an intermediate hublocation.From the hub location individual fiberscarrying single wavelengths are usedto reach individual end points. At the endpoints small table top products are suffi-cient.

Add/DropThe Add/Drop functionality of the OFX-1is ideal for ring topologies. Incomingdata from the “westbound” link is “drop-ped” and fully 3R regenerated prior tobeing forwarded to the local application.The “added” data from the local applica-tion port is then converted to a CWDMwavelength and sent “eastbound”.The bi-directional functionality of theOFX-1 allows the same Add/Drop perfor-mance for both “westbound“ and“eastbound“ data.

Express (Pass Through)Within multiple CWDM nodes each OFX-1 can be switched from Add/Drop toExpress on the fly. In Express mode“eastbound” data is fully 3R recoveredand forwarded “westbound” to create atransit node on the CWDM ring. Due tothe full signal regeneration virtually unli-mited ring circumferences are possible.Both, “Add/Drop“ and “Express“ setup,can be selected from a remote manage-ment station, which permits adding acustomer on the fly and total flexibility inring configuration (fast provisioning).

Ring BackupBy using the OFX-1 as a channel modulethe CWDM FiberPilot functions as fullyautomatic channel backup system. Theapplication data is internally duplicatedand transmitted onto the “eastbound”and “westbound” fibers. In the event of afiber cut or even a laser failure the farend automatically selects the alternativefiber.The CWDM FiberPilot delivers utmostflexibility and resilience for both point-to-point and ring topologies.

HighlightsThe BFX-1 Optical Fiber X-

Connection is a multifunctional modulefor the MultiServicePlatform. Its fouroptical interfaces can be interconnectedvia network management enablingvarious individual functions. Optional 3Rregeneration functionality can extenddata transmission over long distancesand facilitate the deployment of ringtopologies with multiple nodes.New features, such as Priority Backup,Drop and Continue and dynamic swit-ching from Add/Drop mode to Expressmode provide new and unique opportu-nities for optical networking. Currentcostly functions, mainly known in theWAN environment, are supported by theBFX-1 and are now available for accessapplications.The BFX-1 combines new and uniquefunctionality but at reduced cost. Lessinventory and spare part costs are requi-red and future investment is guaranteedby flexible migration capabilities.

Double Converter, CWDM ChannelThe four optical interfaces allow theBFX-1 to be used as a dual channel sin-gle mode to multimode converter.Two independent multimode applicationsare converted to any wavelength indivi-dually. The field upgradable pluggablelaser modules allow, short reach, longreach or even CWDM selected wave-lengths to be specified. The optional 3Rfunction optimises the optical signalsprior to forwarding to the application andallows maximum distances to be achie-ved.

Priority BackupPriority Backup is a variation of theregular backup function.Using the fourth port of the BFX-1 asecond application can be transmittedover the backup path allowing the nor-mally unused backup fiber to become adata channel. Upon a failure of the pri-mary link the secondary application isterminated in lieu of the main applica-tion. If the backup path fails an alarm isgenerated but the secondary applicationis not recovered, leaving the main appli-cation up and running.

Cross ConnectThe BFX-1 may used for point-to-multi-point operation.When data are transported to variousdestinations from a central point theBFX-1 is configured in the double con-verter mode. In case data need to changetheir destination the BFX-1 operates as across and interlinks the opposite interfa-ces.Drop and ContinueThis mode is suitable when unidirectio-nal data need to be multicasted to manyreceivers.The network is setup as a linear openring. Application data that enters the net-work is made available (dropped) atevery intermediate node and is also fully3R reshaped and forwarded to the nextnode. A typical application for this modeis video broadcasting, whereby manybase station are fed with the same videosignal.

Add/Drop FunctionThe Add/Drop functionality is ideal forring topologies. Incoming data from the“westbound” link is “dropped” and fully3R regenerated prior to being forwardedto the local application.The “added” data from the local applica-tion port is then converted to a CWDMwavelength and sent “eastbound”. Thebi-directional functionality of the BFX-1allows the same Add/Drop performancefor both “westbound” and “eastbound”data.

Express ChannelEach BFX-1 can be switched fromAdd/drop to Express on the fly. InExpress mode “eastbound” data are fully3R recovered and forwarded “west-bound” to create a transit node on thering. Due to the full signal regenerationvirtually unlimited ring circumferencesare made possible.Both, “Add/Drop” and “Express” setup,can be selected from a remote manage-ment station, which permits adding acustomer on the fly and total flexibility inring configuration (fast provisioning).

Backup FunctionThe BFX-1 functions as fully automaticbackup system when equipped with threeor four interfaces.The application data is internally dupli-cated and transmitted onto two geogra-phically dispersed dark fibers. In theevent of a primary link failure (even ifcaused by a laser failure) the far endselects a secondary fiber.Switching is autonomously controlled byeach BFX-1 providing low latency andincreased reliability. No central manageris responsible for backup control, evenin multi-wavelength ring and meshsystems. All switching is reported to thenetwork management and numerous sta-tistics are gathered to allow for quality ofservice reporting. The BFX-1 deliversutmost flexibility and resilience for bothpoint-to-point and ring topologies.

HighlightsThe Timemultiplexer range enables

the creation of highly cost-effective andflexible optical transport solutions. TimeDivision Multiplexing (TDM) is used toaggregate application protocols such asFast Ethernet, ESCON, Fibre Channel orGigabit Ethernet together into a singlewavelength that can either be extendedor feed into Dense Wave (DWDM) orCoarse Wave (CWDM) DivisionMultiplexer systems. The combination ofcost-effective multiplexing technologywith support of diverse application pro-tocols and hot-swappable transceiversenables Timemultiplexer to deliver uni-quely flexible optical transport solutions. Timemultiplexer BTM 4-1 multiplexesfour low-speed application protocols(100 Mbit/s – 200 Mbit/s) including FastEthernet, FDDI, STM-1 and ESCON.Timemultiplexer BTM 2-1 multiplexestwo high-speed application protocols(1.062 Gbit/s – 1.25 Gbit/s) includingFibre Channel, FICON and GigabitEthernet. Timemultiplexer BTM 2-1 alsoincludes an in-band management func-tion that enables access to the remoteunit without need for external networkaccess. Optional protection switchingfrom the primary fiber to a secondaryfiber is supported through a field upgra-deable backup port that can be enabledwith a software key and an additionaltransceiver. Both Timemultiplexer ver-sions are designed to operate as standa-lone devices or pre-concentrators forDWDM or CWDM systems. Through the

availability of CWDM specific hot-swap-pable transceivers the Timemultiplexer isalso able to become a channel modulefor CWDM MultiServicePlatform.

Pre-ConcentratorIn some circumstances it is necessaryto extend low-speed application proto-cols (100 Mb/s – 200 Mb/s) such asESCON or Fast Ethernet with a GigabitEthernet application to a remote site. TheBTM 4-1 pre-concentrates up to fourlow-speed applications and feeds intoone port of the BTM 2-1.The Gigabit Ethernet is connected tothe remaining BTM 2-1 port and exten-ded with the BTM 4-1 data to the remotesite. Due to the ability to costeffectivelysupport diverse protocols theTimemultiplexer is able to flexiblyenhance various networks and topolo-gies.

Gigabit TDMWhen high-speed application connectivi-ty using two different fiber paths isrequired the BTM 2-1 can be used incombination with CWDM to combineapplications and transmit them overdiverse fiber paths.In providing increased reliability higherservice levels can be guaranteed. Theoptional backup function switches eachlink individually in event of a link failure.

Ring BackupEach TDM has a backup port that can beequipped with a hotswappable transcei-ver and enabled via software key. Byusing CWDM specific transceivers toget-her with a CWDM filter the TDM beco-mes a CWDM channel module.The application data is internally dupli-cated and transmitted via two geographi-cally dispersed dark fibers. In theevent ofa primary link failure (even if caused bya laser failure) the far end selects thesecondary fiber path. Protection swit-ching is autonomously controlled byeach Timemultiplexer providing lowlatency and increased reliability. No cen-tral manager is responsible for backupcontrol, even in multi-wavelengthsystems. All switching is reported to thenetwork management and numerous sta-tistics are gathered to allow for quality ofservice reporting.

Network ManagementThe Timemultiplexer provide full mana-geability through the NMS b1 View.b1 View provides a powerful and intuitiveoperator interface for all products. b1View enables access to each individualmodule and reads information stored onthe microprocessorin each card. Management access isavailable via 10BaseT LAN interface,Web browser, SNMP, ISDN S0, modemor serial connection.

HighlightsThe BCM-4/8 Compact Multiplexer

complements Black Box successfulFiberPilot optical multiplexer series withan extremely compact form factor. TheLightPilot is ideal suited for highly costsensitive applications or when the highflexibity of the standard FiberPilot is notrequired.

The BCM-4/8 Compact Multiplexer con-centrates any optical application between100 Mbit/s - 2.5 Gbit/s onto a singlefiber pair. Consequent use of pluggableoptics, inside and outside permits highflexibility to changing user requirements.

The BCM-4/8 Compact Multiplexer con-tains a complete optical multiplexersystem. This includes optical filter,CWDM laser and receiver, internal opti-cal wiring, fan cooling, managementinterfaces and redundant power supplies.

The power supplies can be exchangedfrom the front. The CWDM logic moduleis also accessible from the front to ena-ble fast servicing or upgrades.The unit performs 2R data re-amplifica-tion. Optionally, 3R clock recovery canbe installed or field upgraded.

Typically the BCM-4/8 CompactMultiplexer is used in point-to-pointtopologies. Alternatively, a passiveoptical ring configuration is supportedwhereby LightPilots in a ring add anddrop individual optical channels. TheBCM-4/8 Compact Multiplexer interope-

rates with the MultiServicePlatform forutmost flexibility in network design.

The BCM-4/8 Compact Multiplexer ismanaged through SEEmiles, the univer-sal management solution. Access viaserial port as well as through Ethernet isavailable. The BCM-4/8 CompactMultiplexer is a full featured member ofthe Black Box management structure.
