industry's widest range of
high-quality communications
systems. Intelligent
multiplexers, flexible highcapacity transport systems and
associated management systems
form the building blocks of
today's networks. Using these
building blocks, customers are
provided with equipment to
meet their requirements for
services, capacity and quality.
The WaveStar ADM 16/1, is
a member of the WaveStar
family of Lucent Technologies
optical networking products.
INTRODUCTION
he WaveStar ADM 16/1 is a
T
high-capacity intelligent
multiplexer and transport system
able to multiplex PDH, SDH,
SONET and EtherNet bit rates to
higher levels up to 2.5 Gbps
(STM-16). Because of this wide
range in capacity, this system is a
key element in building efficient
and flexible networks.
The main strengths of the product
are:
· Massive add/drop capacity
directly from the
STM-16 level e.g. 504 x E1,
96 x DS-3,
64 x 10/100 BASE-T, 32 x
STM-1 etc.
· Compact design (single row).
· Easy installation &
maintenance.
· Flexibility in applications.
· Advanced protection
mechanisms allowing
state-of-the-art SDH network
design.
These outstanding features make
the WaveStar ADM 16/1 one of
the most cost-effective futureproof network elements. The
system can be deployed with
other Lucent Technologies optical
networking products, making the
WaveStar ADM 16/1 one of the
main building blocks of future
SDH networks.
The WaveStar ADM 16/1 is
controlled and managed by
Lucent Technologies Integrated
Transport Management (ITM), a
user-friendly network and
element level management
system with in-service upgrade
facilities.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
ne of the main features of
O
the WaveStar ADM 16/1 is
the ability to add/drop and
flexibly cross-connect directly
from the STM-16 level. Signals
that can be connected are: 1.5
(DS-1), 2 (E1), 34 (E3), 45 (DS-
3), 51.8 (STM-0), 140 (E4),
155 (STM-1/OC-3) and 622
(STM-4/OC-12) Mbps. Unique to
the system is that it supports the
advanced protection mechanisms
MS-SPRing, VC-SNC/N and Dual
Node Interconnection as well as
the conventional MSP. To reduce
overall installation and test time,
pre-fabricated cabling is used.
· Single product platform for
STM-16 and STM-4
applications.
· Single network element for
interconnection of STM-16,
STM-4 and STM-1 rings
· TransLAN-functionality
based on ML-PPP at 8 x
10/100 BASE-T for each
circuit pack.
· The system architecture allows
a broad range of applications:
add/drop, terminal, local
cross-connect.
· Support of ETSI
Synchronization Status
Message (SSM) protocol.
· AU-3 / TU-3 to AU-4
conversion.
· Full Time Slot Assignment
(TSA) for port interface signals
and Time Slot Inter-change
(TSI) for through channels.
· Support of PDH signals: E1, E3
and E4.
· Support of SONET Signals:
DS-1, DS-3, OC-3 & OC-12.
Summary of main features and
benefits:
· Protection mechanisms
supported: MS-SPRing,
SNC/N, MSP and DNI.
· VC-4, VC-3 and VC-12 crossconnect capability.
