Introducing the DV-45 system 1-DV-OC3 units are part of the Northern Telecom (Nortel) DV-45 Digital Video Codec system. This chapter introduces the DV-45 system and describes how DV-OC3 units are used within it.

DV-45 purposeA DV-45 system converts analog video signals into digital signals for transmission on standard digital telecommunication equipment. A DV-45 system converts RS-170A National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) composite video signals to standard DS3 (44.736 Mb/s) digital signals. Typical applications of the DV-45 system are the Nortel Digital Video Network (DVN) and Video Operations Center (VOC) products.

DV-45 componentsThe main components of a DV-45 system are:

• cabinets

• filler cards

• DV-45 shelves

• DV-45 Coders

• DV-45 Decoders

• DV-45 DCS units

• DV-45 MCUs

• DV-45 DV-OC3 units

CabinetsFiber terminal inside plant (FTIP) cabinets and video codec enclosures (VCE) are used to house rack-mountable DV-45 shelves. Each FTIP cabinet has one 2.13 m (7 ft) by 584.20 mm (23 in.) wide equipment frame with a total of 44 mounting spaces (one mounting space equals 44.45 mm [1.75 in.]). Each VCE cabinet can house one DV-45 shelf, one power supply, and one interface panel. Both cabinets are designed to operate in 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) ambient temperatures.

Introducing the DV-45 system

DV-45 filler cardsIn order to meet electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements, empty DV-45 shelf slots must be equipped with single or double filler cards.

DV-45 shelvesA DV-45 shelf is a light-weight steel card cage with a multilayer backplane. Modular plug-in units slide along card guides into connectors mounted in the backplane. The shelf has 11 plug-in positions which are keyed to prevent modules from being inserted in the wrong position. Adjustable mounting brackets allow installation into either a 482.6 mm (19 in.) or 584.2 mm (23 in.) mounting bay without additional hardware. See Figure 1-1.

DV-45 CodersA DV-45 Coder is a plug-in module that converts an analog NTSC video signal and up to four audio inputs to a DS3 digital output. A DV-45 Coder occupies a single DV-45 shelf position. All connections are made at the rear of the DV-45 shelf—BNC connectors for video input and DS3 output signals and screw connections for audio input signals.

DV-45 DecodersA DV-45 Decoder is a plug-in module that converts a DS3 digital input into a video signal and up to four audio signals. A DV-45 Decoder occupies a single DV-45 shelf position. All connections are made at the rear of the DV-45 shelf—BNC connectors for video output and DS3 input signals and screw connections for audio output signals.

DV-45 DCS unitsA DV-45 data communication synchronization (DCS) unit is a plug-in module that inserts or extracts low-speed data into or from the DS3 signal with the encoded video and audio signals. A DCS unit occupies a single DV-45 shelf position. All connections are made at the rear of the DV-45 shelf—BNC connectors for DS3 signals and screw connections for data signals.

DV-45 MCUsA DV-45 maintenance control unit (MCU) is a plug-in module that communicates with the other modules in a DV-45 shelf and gathers alarms and status data and interprets them as major or minor alarm indicators. A MCU plugs into DV-45 shelf position 10. All connections are made at the rear of the DV-45 shelf—wire-wrap connections for major and minor alarms parallel interface; an E2A1 TBOS alarm serial interface (RS-422); and an E2A2 computer control data serial interface (RS-422).

DV-OC3 unit description 2-This chapter describes the DV-45 DV-OC3 unit purpose, features, functions, and interface connections.

A DV-OC3 unit is a plug-in module used to multiplex and demultiplex up to three DS3 signals to one SONET OC3 fiber signal. The unit occupies two slot positions in a DV-45 shelf (slots 0 and 1, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, or 6 and 7). The three DS3 signals are connected by BNC connectors located at the rear of the DV-45 shelf. The OC3 fiber optic signals are connected to intermediate-reach or long-reach optical modules using ferrule (FC), straight (ST), or subscriber (SC) connectors located at the front of the DV-OC3 unit. The long-reach optical modules have a greater output power and greater input sensitivity.

The two types of optical module and three types of connector lead to six types of DV-OC3 unit. The six types of DV-OC3 unit, identified by their Nortel product engineering code (PEC), are:

Alarm indications 3-This chapter lists the DV-OC3 unit alarms, the conditions that initiate them, the telemetry byte-oriented serial (TBOS) mappings, and alarm interpretation.

OverviewThe central processing unit (CPU) of a DV-OC3 unit detects and diagnoses alarms. The CPU routes alarms to the unit’s faceplate and the internal maintenance bus (M-bus) on the DV-45 shelf backplane. A DV-45 maintenance control unit (MCU) collects alarms from the M-bus, classifies them as major or minor alarms, and routes them to parallel and serial (TBOS) alarm ports at the rear of the DV-45 shelf.

Various conventions are used to define signal transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) directions; the convention used within this chapter is illustrated in Figure 3-1.

Figure 3-1Signal convention

Alarm and status reportingA DV-OC3 card has two modes of operation—bidirectional or unidirectional. These modes determine alarm and status reporting. The OC3 line and STS-DS3 transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) interfaces may be equipped or unequipped. The DS3 line build out (LBO) may be set to IN or OUT using switches or TBOS commands. The system clock may be set to Loop timed or Freerun mode.

Alarm indications

Some TBOS control points function as both status indicators and command points. When used as a command point, the operator can operate a momentary latch from TBOS and override the switch settings. The state of the OC3 line, STS path, DS3 interface, LBO, and system clock are set by switch settings on the DV-OC3 unit (see “Setting DV-OC3 unit options” on page 8-7) and may be overwritten by TBOS command points set by the MCU. STS path unequipped and DS3 alarm indication signal (AIS) are automatically inserted by the software on unequipped channels. Hardware status is reported using alarm points and may be accessed through the MCU E2A1, RS-422, serial alarm port using a TBOS digital alarm scanner.

Most hardware faults are detected by self-checking circuitry. Alarm and status information is reported by the software as equipment or facility alarms. The CPU is reset whenever a software failure is detected. Remote alarm and status reporting is not supported, so all alarm and status information is only reported locally. Alarms on channels provisioned as unequipped are not reported.

Note: For TBOS 1.0, the “DS3-x Fac. Lpb” control points function as both status indication and command points. For TBOS 2.0, the “STS-x Tx Eqp.”, “STS-x Rx Eqp.”, “DS3-x Fac. Lpd Rq”, “DS3-x LBO”, and “Loop Time” all function as both status indication and command points.

Faceplate alarm indicatorsEquipment and facility alarms are indicated using colored light-emitting diodes (LED) on the faceplate. Refer to Table 3-1 for each alarm indication and its associated LED. Refer to Figure 3-2 for the location of each LED on the faceplate. To eliminate related alarm indications; lower-level alarms are masked when associated higher-level alarms are generated (see Figure 3-3).

Alarm indications 3-5

Alarm port indicatorsAll equipment and facility alarms routed to the maintenance bus (M-bus) on the DV-45 shelf backplane are gathered by the MCU, classified as major or minor, and routed to parallel (relay closure) and serial (E2A TBOS) alarm ports at the rear of the DV-45 shelf (refer to Figure 3-4). Visual and audible indicators can be connected to the parallel, relay contact, port. A TBOS digital alarm scanner can be connected to the serial E2A1 RS-422 port. To determine alarm causes, see “Interpreting alarms and status indicators” on page 3-9.

Note: Orderwire capability is not supported.

3-6 Alarm indications

Parallel alarm port The parallel port provides normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) relay connections for major and minor visual (for example, lamp) and audible (for example, buzzer) indicators. All major and minor alarm indicators are activated upon power failure. An external alarm cutoff (ACO) connection is provided so that audible alarm indicators can be silenced (see Figure 3-4).

Serial alarm port The serial alarm port is an industry standard E2A, RS-422, port (see Figure 3-4) which can represent up to 512 alarm points (each point is represented by one bit). The alarm points can be accessed through the port eight bits at a time by a TBOS digital alarm scanner. This section assumes you are familiar with TBOS; for a full description, see Alarms and Surveillance, 323-1401-102, within the DV-45 Reference Manual, PEC NT2H7902.

Alarm points are used to represent the same alarms as those routed to the LED faceplate indicators on the DV-OC3 unit. All alarm points are mapped to bits and bytes according to the DV-45 shelf position of the DV-OC3 unit. A DV-45 MCU can be optioned for TBOS 1.0 or TBOS 2.0 E2A mappings and display addresses (see Figure 8-10 on page 8-16). For TBOS 1.0 mappings, refer to Table 3-2. For TBOS 2.0 mappings, refer to Table 3-3, Table 3-4, Table 3-5, and Table 3-6; for TBOS 2.0, each DV-OC3 unit occupies an entire display.

DV-OC3 unit applications 4-DV-OC3 units can be used in bidirectional and unidirectional modes of operation. This chapter describes the use of DV-OC3 units in typical bidirectional and unidirectional applications and five specific applications:

• bidirectional applications

• unidirectional applications

• single DS3 feed application

• multiple DS3 feed application

• data interface application

• hubbing to an OC12 application

• hubbing from a DVN application

Bidirectional applicationsTypical bidirectional applications include:

• point-to-point between DV-OC3 units (see Figure 4-1)

• point-to-point between a DV-OC3 unit and a SONET OC3 TBM shelf (see Figure 4-2)

• DV-OC3 unit interfacing as a tributary to a SONET OC12 TBM transport shelf (see Figure 4-3).

In each application, the default DV-OC3 unit switch 1 and switch 2 options (all set to 1) would be used.

Figure 4-3DV-OC3 unit interfacing as a tributary to an OC12 TBM transport shelf

Unidirectional applicationsUnidirectional DV-OC3 unit applications may take two forms. In the first form, only DS3 signals are transmitted from a site (see site A in Figure 4-4). In the second form, DS3 signals are received and then the same or a different DS3 signal is reinserted (see site B in Figure 4-4) for transmission to the next site (see site C in Figure 4-4). In the second form, the DV-OC3 unit acts as an Add/Drop multiplexer.

DV-OC3 unit applications 4-3

DV-OC3 unit switch 1 and switch 2 settings for each site shown in Figure 4-4 are shown in Table 4-1. Also see “Setting DV-OC3 unit options” on page 8-7.

Note 1: Setting DV-OC3 unit Sw2-8 to “Unidirectional” masks the line FERF signal being transmitted on a Rx line failure and prevents the echo of the K bytes. If a DV-OC3 unit is NOT being used, the Line FERF alarm must be turned OFF on the OC3 or OC12 product.

Note 2: DV-OC3 units do not support SONET DCC; therefore, the SONET DCC link fail alarm will always be ON. The alarm must be turned OFF on the OC3 and OC12 product.

Note 3: When a DV-OC3 unit STS channels are set as “Unequipped”, a STS Rx Unequipped alarm will be generated. The alarm must be turned OFF on the OC3 and OC12 product.

Note 4: See Provisioning and Operations Procedures, 323-1111-310, for alarm provisioning on Nortel OC3 and OC12 TBM shelf products.

4-4 DV-OC3 unit applications

Single DS3 feed applicationNortel’s Digital Video Network (DVN) room sites use a Video Codec Enclosure (VCE) that houses a DV-45 shelf equipped with units for processing and transmitting video, audio, and control data between DVN rooms. Figure 4-5 shows the equipment required for a single DS3 signal fed into one DVN room. One bidirectional DS3 signal from the DV-OC3 unit is connected to the DCS card; the other two DV-OC3 DS3 channels would be optioned as unequipped. Input and output connections to the fiber network are made from the front of the DV-OC3 unit.

4-6 DV-OC3 unit applications

Data interface applicationsFigure 4-7 illustrates the equipment required to handle two bidirectional DS3 signals. One bidirectional DS3 signal from the DV-OC3 unit is connected to a DV-45 DCS card; the second bidirectional DS3 signal is connected to an external SMDS or Frame Relay data interface; the third DS3 channel would be optioned as unequipped.

Figure 4-7Handling a single data interface

Figure 4-8 illustrates the equipment required to handle three bidirectional DS3 signals. Each bidirectional DS3 signal from the DV-OC3 unit is connected to a DCS card; each DCS card is connected to four DS1 data signals. A fully utilized DV-OC3 unit can handle 12 DS1 data signals. In this application, the DV-OC3 unit would use the default factory-set options.

DV-OC3 unit applications 4-7

Hubbing to an OC12 applicationFigure 4-9 shows a DV-45 system handling 12 bidirectional DS3 signals. Each bidirectional DS3 signal is connected to an DV-OC3 unit DS3 input and output; the DV-OC3 unit OC3 optical inputs and outputs are connected to the OC3 optical tributary input and output connections on the OC12 terminal. A fully equipped DV-45 shelf can handle four DV-OC3 units and 12 bidirectional DS3 signals. In this application, each DV-OC3 unit would use the default factory-set options.

4-8 DV-OC3 unit applications

Hubbing from a DVN applicationFigure 4-10 shows the equipment for handling 12 DS3 signals in a Digital Video Network (DVN) application. The DV-OC3 unit is equipped in a DV-45 shelf within a VCE located at each room site. Each OC3 optical signal, containing the room audio and video signals encoded as a DS3 signal, is sent to the local service providers’s equipment office where it is hubbed to a DV-45 shelf. At this point, the service provider has access to the DS3 signals from the rooms to either connect to a DS3 routing switch or input to a backbone fiber optic transmission system (FOTS). In this application, each DV-OC3 unit at the service provider equipment office, would use the default factory-set options.

Ordering information 5-This chapter provides the information required for provisioning and ordering DV-45 DV-OC3 units. Ordering information for equipment directly related to DV-OC3 unit provisioning is included. For other DV-45 equipping rules refer to Ordering Information, 323-1401-151, within the DV-45 Reference Manual, PEC NT2H7902.

DV-OC3 units can be used in a number of different applications. To assist you in provisioning DV-OC3 units, two typical configurations are described.

5-2 Ordering information

Typical configurationsTwo typical configurations are described: four DV-OC3 units in a DV-45 shelf; and one DV-OC3 unit within a DV-45 shelf.

Four DV-OC3 units in a DV-45 shelfTypically, this configuration would be used in a DV-45 shelf within a 7-ft. mounting bay, at a Digital Video Network (DVN) cell switching site. The DV-OC3 units provide an optical interface to an optical fiber transmission network used to interconnect DVN sites. See Figure 5-1.

Figure 5-1DV-45 shelf fully equipped with DV-OC3 units

FW-3102

Note: A fully-equipped DV-45 shelf configuration could also be used with low-cost hubbing applications; for example, feeding 12 DS3 signals to an OC12 system that accepts four OC3 inputs and outputs one OC12 signal.

7-2 Observing safety guidelines

Handling unitsThe following precautions must be taken when handling DV-45 units:

• Wear a skin-contact antistatic bracelet when handling all units that are sensitive to static electricity. This bracelet consists of an expandable wrist strap and grounding cord; its function is to dissipate charges to ground.

• At all times, handle the units by the faceplate or stiffener.

• Do not touch the solder side, pin connector, or components.

• Do not stack units on top of, or against each other.

• Do not force units into the packaging material.

• Ensure that the transmit and receive optical connectors of optical units are protected by dust caps at all times.

Note: Alternative personnel grounding methods can be used; for example, conductive carpet, conductive shoes, or heel grounding assemblies.

Storing units Spare units must be left in the original shipping container until required.

To prevent damage to DV-45 units while they are in storage, necessary precautions must be observed, to avoid:

• accumulation of dirt or dust on the gold-plated contact

• defacing of printed wiring areas

• board warpage if stored in an area of high humidity and temperature.

Installing or replacing unitsTo prevent electrostatic damage, the following conditions apply during the installation or replacement of DV-45 units that are sensitive to static electricity:

• all units must be enclosed in static shielding bags for transportation

• upon reaching the trouble location, maintenance personnel must attach a antistatic bracelet before removing units

• suspect units must be removed and immediately placed in a static shielding bag

• all safety precautions listed under “Handling units” should be followed during installation and replacement of units.

Whenever possible use the original static shielding bag, padding, and box in which the DV-45 unit was received. If the original material is lost, use other suitable packing.

Observing safety guidelines 7-3

Optical fibersOptical fibers are either single or multiple strand. The following information and precautions apply to all fibers.

Laser radiationAll Nortel optical products and associated optical test sets use laser sources that emit light energy into fiber cables. This energy is within the red (visible) and infrared (invisible) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Laser products are subject to federal regulations, state or provincial regulations, and local practices. Regulation 21CFR 1040 of the U.S. Bureau of Radiological Health requires manufacturers to certify each laser product as Class I, II, III, or IV depending on the characteristics of the laser radiation emitted. In terms of health and safety, Class I products present the least hazard (none at all), while class IV products present the greatest hazard.

During testing and maintenance, some procedures require the handling of optical fibers and transmitters with the dust caps removed. Under these circumstances, laser radiation within the limits of Class IIIb might be present.

This level of radiation is of sufficient magnitude to cause injury to personnel and caution must therefore be exercised to avoid exposure. This precaution applies to any point in the system where the laser signal can be accessed (for example, at the optical connectors on the front of DV-OC3 units).

Bending optical fibersThere is a risk of damaging optical fibers if they are bent too much. A minimum bending diameter of 76 mm (3 in.) is recommended. In addition, all optical connections to optical units should only be finger-tightened.

Handling optical fibersWhen working with optical fibers, you must observe the following precautions:

• Wear safety glasses when installing optical fibers.

• Avoid direct exposure to fiber ends or optical connector ends where the laser signal can be accessed.

All Nortel S/DMS transmission products comply with 21 CFR 1040, Chapter 1, subchapter J as a Class I laser product as set forth by the U.S. Bureau of Radiological Health. These regulations ensure that there are no personnel hazards from the laser

Avoid direct exposure to beam. Invisible light can blind. Keep all optical connectors capped.

transmitter when the system is in its operating configuration. A label similar to this is located on all optical interface packs, near the optical connector.

7-4 Observing safety guidelines

• Wipe clean or wash your hands after handling optical fibers. Small bits of glass are almost invisible and can damage your eyes.

• Do not handle pieces of optical fiber with your bare fingers. Use tweezers or the sticky side of a piece of vinyl tape to pick up and discard any loose fiber ends.

• Place all optical fiber cuttings in a plastic bottle provided for that purpose.

• Handle optical fibers with care. Position them in a safe and secure location during installation.

• Protect all optical fiber connectors with dust caps at all times.

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using an optical test set. Incorrect calibration or control settings could result in hazardous levels of radiation.

Splicing optical fibersDuring the splicing of any fiber, you might be required to look at the fiber using an eye loupe (a small magnifier). Observe the following precautions:

• Before starting the splicing, power off all laser sources to the fiber or disconnect the remote fiber end from the laser sources.

• Ensure that the laser sources stay disconnected or powered off, whether the sources are located in a central office, subscriber premises, or a remote location.

• Before starting the splicing, disconnect any optical test sets from the fiber (whether locally or remotely connected).

• Use only the optical instruments approved by your company.

Repairing optical fibersWhen there is an accidental break in the fiber, you must do the following:

• Notify both equipment-office and field-repair personnel of the problem.

• Identify to the equipment-office personnel where the fibers have been damaged.

• Power off all laser sources to the fiber or disconnect remote fiber end from the laser sources, whether the sources are located in an equipment office, subscriber premises, or a remote location.

DANGERRisk of eye injuryIf there is any suspicion of a glass chip in your eye, seek medical attention at once.

Procedure 8-3Installing DV-OC3 units in a DV-45 shelf

Use this procedure to install DV-OC3 units in a DV-45 shelf after the option switches have been set.

A DV-OC3 unit requires two DV-45 shelf slots and can only be installed correctly into adjacent slot positions 0 and 1, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, or 6 and 7.

All DV-OC3 units are keyed to prevent installation in incorrect shelf positions. If resistance is felt when inserting a DV-OC3 unit, do not force the DV-OC3 unit into slots, check that the unit is being inserted into an allowable slot pair. Ensure that all units are properly seated in the backplane connector.

If a DV-OC3 unit is installed into an incorrect shelf position (and the keys are broken), an OC3 Configuration Fail major alarm is generated by the MCU.

Requirements Before proceeding with this procedure, see “Observing safety guidelines” on page 7-1 of this document for important information on how to handle units.

1 Observe all the precautions described in “Observing safety guidelines” on page 7-1. Put on an antistatic bracelet and attach it to ground.

Cleaning optical connectors mated to the DV-OC3 unit2 Loosen one of the fiber patchcords from the shelf fiber guide to provide

sufficient slack.

3 Disconnect the optical patchcord from the DV-OC3 unit.

4 Cover the exposed connector sleeve end with a clean dust cap. Do not use dust caps that have been in a dusty location, such as on the floor or in pockets.

Cleaning optical connectors on new patchcords or testcords5 Insert the connector that requires cleaning into the magnifier and assess the

cleanliness of the connector.

6 Remove the connector from the magnifier.

7 Holding the can of compressed air in an upright position, apply a short burst of air perpendicular to the ferrule of the connector, that is, across the end face.

8 Moisten a new, low-lint cloth with alcohol.

Note: Never reuse cleaning cloths. Use new material for each connector.

9 Applying moderate pressure, wipe the ferrule—by rotating the connector along the barrel—and the ferrule tip until the ferrule squeaks.

This removes any contaminants on the ferrule.

10 Immediately, apply a short burst of air perpendicular to the ferrule, to evaporate the alcohol.

11 Polish the ferrule tip by wiping it on a new, clean piece of lens tissue using one or two figure-eight patterns. This polishes off any residue remaining on the ferrule tip.

12 Finally, apply a short burst of air perpendicular to the ferrule tip. This removes any remaining airborne particles.

13 Reinsert the connector into a fiberscope and assess the cleanliness of the connector.

If the connector still looks dirty, remove the connector from the magnifier and repeat steps 8 through 13.

14 Remove the connector from the fiberscope, making sure that the connector end face and ferrule do not come into contact with any contaminants (dust, lint, or hands).
