DDM-2000 OC-3 Ring Transport 2
The FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings Terminal equipped with Release 5.0.1-ADR
or later software can provide transport within a DDM-2000 OC-3 Ring. A
DDM-2000 OC-3 Ring is an end-to-end self-healing network providing
path-switched protection of DS1, DS3, EC-1, or OC-3 signals.
Figure 2-8 shows an OC-48 Ring equipped with FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings
Terminals that are used to close (or complete) a DDM-2000 OC-3 Ring. The
OC-48 Ring provides the needed bandwidth (three STS-1 tributaries) between CO
1 and CO 2. The DDM-2000 OC-3 Ring has four DDM-2000 OC-3 nodes and four
OC-3 signals (OC3 1, OC3 2, OC3 3, OC3 4) connecting them. The OC-3 1 signal
is transported between CO 1 and CO 2 by the FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings
Terminals. One or more OC-48 Ring segments or rings may be used as segments
of a DDM-2000 OC-3 Ring.

The FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings Terminals at CO 1 and CO 2 are equipped
with OC-3 low-speed interfaces. The OC-3 low-speed interfaces may be used as
intra-office interfaces or interoffice optical extensions.
