Specifications:
The power consumption varies according to the board version being used. For details, see DCP Specifications.
Substitution Relationship
Board | Substituted By | Substitution Rules |
TN11DCP | None | - |
TN12DCP | TN13DCP | The TN13DCP board can be created as 12DCP on the NMS to substitute for the TN12DCP board. The board substitution does not require software upgrade. NOTE: When a system control board is installed in slot IU2 of the 9800 Universal Platform Subrack , the TN13DCP board cannot be installed in slot IU1. Therefore, if a TN12DCP board is installed in slot IU1 and a system control board is installed in slot IU2 of the 9800 Universal Platform Subrack , the TN13DCP board cannot substitute for the TN12DCP board. |
TN13DCP | None | - |

Hardware Updates in V100R001C01
Hardware Update | Reason for the Update |
Added the TN11DCP02, TN12DCP01 and TN12DCP04 boards. | The TN11DCP02, TN12DCP01 and TN12DCP04 boards must be used to implement intra-board 1+1 protection and client 1+1 protection. |
Application
As an optical protection unit, the DCP board provides intra-board 1+1 protection and client 1+1 protection.
Figure 1 and Figure 2 illustrate the position of the DCP board in a WDM system.
Figure 1 Position of the DCP board in a WDM system (intra-board 1+1 protection)
NOTE:
When used for intra-board 1+1 protection, the DCP board does not support 2.5 Gbit/s OTUs.
Figure 2 Position of the DCP board in a WDM system (client 1+1 protection)
NOTE:
When the DCP board is used to provide client 1+1 protection, the working and protection OTUs must be installed in different subracks or chassis.
Functions and Features
The DCP board provides intra-board 1+1 protection and client 1+1 protection.
Table 1 describes the functions and features of the DCP board.
Table 1 Functions and features of the DCP board
Function and Feature | Description |
Basic function | Provides protection for two signals: Intra-board 1+1 protection: The board offers protection for the services of two OTUs that do not have the dual-fed and selective receiving function. Client 1+1 protection: The board offers protection for two client services by working with two OTUs: one as the working OTU and the other as the protection OTU. |
Protection mechanism | Dual-fed and selective receiving. (At the transmit end, the protected signal is dually fed to the working and protection paths. At the receive end, the working or protection signal is selected if it has the higher power level.) |
Optical-layer ASON | Supported |
Working Principle and Signal Flow
The DCP board consists of an optical module, control and communication module, and power supply module.
Figure 1 shows the functional modules and signal flow of the DCP board.
Figure 1 Functional modules and signal flow of the DCP board
Signal Flow
One DCP board provides protection for two optical signals. The DCP board processes the two optical signals identically. This following describes the service flow of one optical signal.
Transmit direction
The DCP board receives a protected signal through the TI1 port and uses splitter 1 to split the signal into two identical signals. Then the two optical signals are directed out to the working and protection fibers (paths) through the TO11 and TO12 ports.
Receive direction
The DCP board receives the working and protection signals through the RI11 and RI12 ports, respectively. Then the working and protection signals are sent to optical switch 1, and a sample of each signal is directed to the power detection module to detect their power levels. The control and communication module compares the detected power levels of the two signals and enables optical switch 1 to select the signal with the higher power level. Lastly, the selected signal is output through the RO1 port.
Module Functions
Optical module
The optical module performs dual-fed and selective receiving of two protected signals.
Transmit direction
Splits each of the two signals into two identical signals and directs them onto the working and protection paths.
Receive direction
Receives two working and protection signals while providing a sample of each of the signals to the power detection module to detect the signal power levels. The power detection module reports the detection results to the control and communication module to compare the power levels of the working and protection signals. Then each optical switch inside the optical module selects the signal with the higher power level and directs it out the corresponding port.
Control and communication module
Compares the power levels of the working and protection signals and enables the optical switch to select the signal with the higher power level.
Controls board operations.
Controls the operations on each module of the board according to CPU instructions.
Collects information about alarms, performance events, working states, and voltages from functional modules on the board.
Communicates with the SCC board.
Power supply module
Converts the DC power supplied from the backplane into appropriate power required by each module on the board.
