Flexible Network Management

As provider of turn-key communication solutions for utility networks,

Hitachi Energy knows about the importance of flexible Network

Management System (NMS) solutions. Lean on-site management

as well as integration of a variety of different communication devices

of a utility network into an overall solution is key. With its NMS-suite

(FOXMAN / FOXView) and WEB-based management approaches,

all NMS requirements can be covered in a modular, customer-friendly way.

Management not only addresses fibre optic equipment but also Hitachi

Energy’s comprehensive range of PLC, Radio and Data-Switch solutions.

Element specific management tasks can be performed either

with functionality embedded in the overall NMS or by using the integrated

secure WEB-server of FOX515H and a standard

WEB-browser. Both methods provide full management capabilities.

FOX515H is positioned as high-end Next Generation backbone multiplexer

complementing the portfolio of FOX access multiplexers like:

• FOX515: Powerful Utility Access-MUX with trunk-capacity up to STM-4 providing

a wide range of user interfaces for legacy, data and voice. Integrated teleprotection

and C37.94 functionalities are just a few of its utility specific features.

• FOX505: Smart and space-efficient Utility Access-MUX with

trunk-capacity up to STM-1 and the full range of user interfaces required for typical

utility applications. FOX505 provides along with traditional services a rich set of

LANfeatures including TDM-circuit emulation over LAN.

FOX515H is a highly scalable device, which allows growing backbone capacities from

STM-1 up to STM-64 for the transport of TDM- as well as of Ethernet-traffic.

This very compact FOX-device (9U high only) provides extensive protection mechanisms

such as HW-protection for MPU and tributaries (two groups 1:N, N=1-5) and the full set

of traffic protection methods like MSP, SNCP and/or 2 / 4-fiber MS-SPring for SDH-connections.

The robust mechanical and EMC-design including the distributed power supply concept of

FOX515H are optimized to cope with harsh environments typical for utility applications.

The mechanical, electrical and EMC / safety performance of FOX515H is fully type-tested

by an independent, certified Swiss Test-lab.

Most interfaces are provided with multirate SFP/XFP cages enabling each individual port to

have a different configuration with a wide variety of optical wave-lengths for WDM,

connectors and available ranges. The integrated space-optimized optical boosters and

amplifiers meet the frequent utility requirement for long, repeater less spans.

FOX515H offers various types of Main Processing Units (MPUs), comprising the system-controller,

the clock & synchronization functionality and a non-blocking cross-connect (DXC).

For efficient network design and traffic grooming, the DXC even allows to cross-connect at DS0

(64kbps) level. If equipped redundantly, the hot swappable MPU’s work in main/ standby protection

mode.

Hitachi Energy’s FOX515H is a state-of-art utility multiplexer, scalable from DS0 up to

multiple STM-64. The FOX515H supports multiple rings for capacities up to STM-64.

and Ethernet over SDH for pushing packet data over TDM fibers.

Its non-blocking DXC’s allow traffic grooming at 64kbps-level as well as cross-connecting

at VC-12/VC-3/ VC-4.

FOX605 ensures reliable data transmission of mission-critical information under any network

circumstance. In operational networks any intrusion or unauthorized access could influence the

performance of the complete network, therefore special measures for protection are required.

The End2End data encryption and authentication functionalities of FOX605 guarantee that

mission-critical information is protected.

Migrating mission-critical services (e.g. teleprotection) to packet-switched networks while keeping

existing infrastructure untouched is supported by MPLS-TP which, in contrast to other

 packet-switched technologies like IP/MPLS, takes care of bidirectional paths and predictable

data traffic, thus guaranteeing the required performance of critical applications.

• Constant connection and information

The performance and reliability of the communication network are significantly increased by time

and phase synchronization through the WAN using SyncE and IEEE1588v2 (PTP).

With real-time distribution from a central master clock to all connected devices in the network FOX605

provides visibility and control of all activities in the network. With MPLS-TP reliable and dependable

data traffic under any network circumstance can also be guaranteed in packet-switched networks.

Integrated traffic generator and analytical functionalities allow seamless performance monitoring

according RFC2544 and Y.1564.
