Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR SONET, 7710 SDH CMAs User Manual

With multirate SONET/SDH compact media adapters (CMAs), the Alcatel-Lucent 7710 Service Router (SR)
provides the most modular, compact solution for smaller PoP, hub site and WAN connection applications
for service providers, cable MSOs and enterprise customers.

Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR

The Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR is a feature­rich multiservice edge router available
in modular, compact form factors.
Designed for smaller points of presence
(PoPs), hub sites and enterprise offices,
the Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR family gives
service providers and cable multi-system
operators (MSOs) a competitive edge
by allowing them to right-size their
infrastructure buildouts with a fully
featured router in a smaller footprint.
The Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR family is
also an ideal solution for enterprise
customers in key vertical markets,
such as government, utilities and
transportation, that need to provide
more secure, reliable and manageable
data services for their end users.

The Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR delivers the
industry’s richest, most comprehensive
feature set available in a modular,
compact carrier-class platform. The
Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR is a purpose­built multiservice edge router, designed
and optimized for the delivery of high­performance carrier-class data, voice and
video services. In two modular chassis
sizes that support up to 4 or 12 interface
cards, the Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR offers
a wide range of interface options using
CMAs and selected media dependent
adapters (MDAs), with unmatched
service performance.

As a member of the industry-leading
Alcatel-Lucent SR product portfolio,
the Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR family
leverages the Alcatel-Lucent Service
Router Operating System (SR OS). As
such, it inherits the performance and
reliability of Alcatel-Lucent’s proven
feature set, including non-stop routing
and non-stop services, and meets service
provider, cable MSO and enterprise
requirements for IP/MPLS platforms
that are future-safe for innovative,
profitable service delivery.

Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR CMAs

Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR CMAs are small,
hot-swappable interface modules that
provide traffic interfaces in standard
Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR I/O positions. A
CMA is a front-loading plug-in module
that allows selection from a variety of
interface speeds and types. The Alcatel­Lucent 7710 SR-c4 supports up to four
CMAs, and the Alcatel-Lucent 7710
SR-c12 supports up to eight CMAs.
Each CMA has a 1.5 Gb/s bidirectional
connection to the control and forward ­ing module (CFM).

The Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR provides
unprecedented service richness and flex­ibility, with the capability to support any
service over any interface. All Alcatel­Lucent 7710 SR service features, such
as service-based hierarchical quality of
service (H-QoS), accounting and filtering,
as well as service-aware operational
operations, administration and main ­tenance (OAM) tools, are available on
all interfaces and subinterfaces. Service
providers, cable MSOs and enterprise
customers can provision access ports
and IP or MPLS tunnels on any physical
interface of any CMA, with no additional
specialized hardware required. Table 1
lists CMA types and port densities for
the Alcatel-Lucent 7710 SR family.

SONET/SDH CMAs

With multirate SONET/SDH compact
media adapters (CMAs), the Alcatel­Lucent 7710 Service Router (SR) provides
the most modular, compact solution
for service providers, cable MSOs and
enterprise customers’ smaller PoP, hub
site and WAN connection applications
and offers highly available and flexible
solutions for IP/MPLS edge consolidation.

The multirate SONET/SDH CMA hard ­ware supports two OC-3c/OC-12c or
STM-1c/STM-4c physical connections.
SONET ports can be individually con ­figured for either OC-3c or OC-12c
operation. SDH ports can be individ ­ually configured for either STM-1c or
STM-4c operation. The same 7750 SR
OC-3c/STM-1c and OC-12c/STM-4c SFPs
are supported to meet media type and
distance requirements.

SONET/SDH CMAs provide:

• SONET or SDH framing (software
selectable)

• Multirate OC-3c/OC-12c or STM-1c/
STM-4c interface speeds (software
selectable)

• APS protection can span CMAs, CMA
and MDAs and multiple chassis

• Support for network or access mode

• Transmit clock is node timed and
each port can enable or disable local
line and internal loopbacks

• BCP null, BCP.1Q, IPCP, PPP auto,
frame relay and WAN mirror
encapsulations are supported

• Full array of path alarms are config ­urable to be either enabled or disabled

• Link holdover timers can be configured
in 100ms increments to control link
up and link down indications

• Line signal degradation bit error rate
and line signal failure bit error rate
thresholds are configurable

• Multimode and single-mode
media types

• All ports use SFP optics for added
flexibility and optimal slot utilization

• Optical link budget supporting
distances up to 85 kilometers
(52.8 miles)

• In-service removal and insertion
