D-4/ESF, and SSM.
„
Output ports are individually provisioned for
DS-1 or Composite Clock
„

assignments in software
4
Enhanced Software Control
„
Internal Software checks performed upon insertion of
a replacement module to verify:
–
–
–
„
„
„
Hardware/software compatibility with current OS Version
Automatic loading of the latest software version
Re-provision the replacement with prior user settings
Automated Software downloads for revision upgrades

US5G Software Development
Factors
„
The Operating System is developed in “Nonproprietary,” open standards environment
– Microsoft CE.NET
– Intel Microprocessor
„
It is intrinsically network capable to allow for
future migration into a client server
architecture
6
Software System Security
Provisions
„
„
„
„
„
It is Critical to establish a rigorously administered and
enforced security Policy.
A security Admin will be the only operator to be able
to enter or modify user status at the top level.
A Sys Admin will have access to all operations below
the Sec Admin
Technical users will be able to perform all operational
tasks.
Monitor users will be able to only view data.

Performance Monitoring for
Sync Quality Assurance
„ Requires the collection and averaging of metrics
over both short and long time periods—typically:
1.
2.
3.
4.
100/300 Sec.
1000/3000 Sec.
10,000/30,000 Sec.
100,000 Sec.
„ Requires the ability to set thresholds and to execute
an appropriate user selectable response

Performance Monitoring Metrics
Primary PM Metrics:
1. Frequency Offset—for frequency accuracy
2. MTIE—for frequency stability
3. TDEV—for wander measurement
Other Metrics include:
1. TIE
2. LMRTIE
9
The US5G as Precision Sync Test Set
‰
Provisioning Reference inputs normally utilizes only 2
or 3 input ports.
‰
Others can be configured for Monitor Only and will
collect PM data as previously described.
‰
Input leads can be permanently tied down and routed
to a mini DSX panel.
‰
Any desired clock signal can be routed to the DSX for
patching into the monitor ports.

System Management Software
LOCAL & REMOTE MANAGEMENT PROTOCOLS
„
Transactional Language 1 (TL1) manages the SSU
„
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP Ver. 3)
– Standardized Internet protocol—(Due in Q-2 2005)
11
US5G Remote Manageability
Enables You to:
„
„
„
„
„
„
„
Fully provision inputs solely in software
Fully provision output ports in software including on/off, signal format—
DS-1 or CC, framing, SSM, line length compensation, and NE
assignment
Selectively re-configure shelf elements in order to isolate operational
problems
Remotely access PM data for troubleshooting sync problems
Remotely direct and monitor local technician repair or maintenance
activity
Transmit alarms and PM data to higher level management systems
automating trouble isolation and sync quality assurance
Remotely enter or access port assignments or equipment inventory data

US5G Protection Switching
Newer methodologies for Protection Switching enable
“hitless” redundancy
„
„
„
Input switching—utilizing PM data to ensure reference quality
Local Oscillator switching
–
Between A and B or into Holdover
Output port protection
–
Two “always on” signals from a pair of output modules provide
redundancy to each NE
–
Modules are physically adjacent to each other for immediate
visual confirmation of protection availability
–
Software provisioning of an output is automatically replicated on
the paired protection module to eliminate potential provisioning
errors

US5G’S Enhanced Clock ByPass for Survivability
„
By-Pass Mode Is always present with LED’s to
indicate either fault condition or by-pass activation
„
By-Pass sub-assembly is modular and accessible
from the front for maintenance and “hot” replacement
if necessary
„
By-Pass Mode is always protected by having two
inputs terminated allowing a switch to the stand-by in
the event of LOS
„
By-Pass is not dependent on the presence of any
other common module
