System Introduction

— SYSCTL optical faceplate latch. An optical switch on the BBG8/
BBG8B SYSCTL circuit pack latch causes a suspension of
controller operations and an "F" to be displayed on the controller
panel display when the latch is pulled. Closing the latch causes a
controller reset.
— CPro-2000, ITM SNC. Release 8.0 is supported by
CPro-2000 Releases 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0, and ITM SNC Release 2.1.
Release 8.1 is a linear release supporting
MegaStar
*
2000 SONET Radio.
Release 8.1 requires the BBG8/BBG8B SYSCTL system controller and BBG9 or
new BBG10 OHCTL overhead controller. Release 8.1 may be used for non-
MegaStar
2000 applications when S1 byte synchronization messaging is desired.
Release 8.1 will interwork with Releases 7.2 or 9.0.
â– New Applications:
—
MegaStar
2000 SONET Radio. Part of Lucent Technologies and
Harris-Farinon
MegaStar
2000 Radio system supporting mixed fiber
and radio topologies.
MegaStar
applications require the BBG10
OHCTL.
â– New Features:
— S1 Byte synchronization messaging. Uses the S1 byte of the
SONET overhead to pass timing status information to different
nodes in a loop-timed network. Synchronization messaging mode
(S1 byte or K2 byte) is provisionable on a per OC-N basis.
— CPro-2000, ITM SNC. Release 8.1 is supported by
CPro-2000 Releases 5.0, 6.0, and ITM SNC Release 4.0.
Release 9.0 provides all of the features of Release 7.2 and is a ring release using
the new BBG8/BBG8B system controller and BBG9 overhead controller circuit
packs.
â– New applications:
— OC-3 DDM-2000 FiberReach host. An OC-3 shelf equipped with
27G-U dual OC-1 OLIUs that supports OC-1 ring extensions from an
OC-3 ring, linear, or stand-alone network.
— Automatic synchronization reconfiguration of timing from both Main
and Function Unit C slots.
— Increased subnetwork sizes. A DDM-2000/
SLC
-2000 subnetwork of
32 NEs. A mixed DDM-2000/
SLC
-2000/FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave
System/OC-3 Release 7.2 subnetwork of 24 to 32 NEs.
