Board | Type | Description |
SCS | 01 | Supports single-mode optical modules. |
02 | Supports multi-mode optical modules. |
Application
The SCS board provides client 1+1 protection.
Figure 1 shows the SCS board application in the WDM system.

NOTE:
An OTU is a transceiver that can process transmitting signals and receiving signals over the same wavelength at the same time.
Functions and Features
The SCS board provides client 1+1 protection.
For detailed functions and features, see Table 1.
Table 1 Functions and features of the SCS
Functions and Features | Description |
Basic function | The SCS board provides the client 1+1 protection. When the performance of the working fiber degrades, the signals switch automatically to the protection channel. |
Protection schemes | The channel protection that is supported by the SCS board does not require any protocol. The SCS board triggers a channel protection switching after the SD or SF event is detected in the channel. |
Working Principle and Signal Flow
The SCS board consists of three parts: the optical module and the communication module.
Figure 1 is the functional block diagram of the SCS board.
Figure 1 Functional block diagram of the SCS board
Signal Flow
One SCS board supports the dual-fed and dual receiving of two channels of optical signals. The SCS board processes the two channels of optical signals in the same way. This topic describes the service flow of only one channel of optical signals.
Transmit direction
The TI1 optical port receives one channel of optical signals. After passing through the splitter, the signals are output to the working and the protection channels through the TO11 and TO12 optical ports.
Receive direction
The signals in the working and the protection channels are input through the RI1 and RI2 optical ports, and enter the coupler. The system activates one of the two channels of optical signals based on the service quality. In this way, the selection of path optical signals is achieved. The selected optical signals are output through the RO1 optical port.
Normally, the working OTU at the receive end is active, and the protection OTU is standby. Once a fault occurs in the services, an alarm triggers a protection switching. The system shuts down the working OTU, and activates the protection OTU.
Module Function
Optical module
The optical module consists of splitters and couplers.
The splitter divides the one channel of optical signals into two channels of the same power, and outputs them to the working and protection channels.
The coupler receives the signals in the working and the protection channels. The system selects one channel of optical signals based on the service quality.
Communication module
Communicates with the system control, switching, and timing board, to control and operate on each module of the unit.
Front Panel
There are ports on the front panel of the board.
