Description

本発明は、伝送装置及びその障害発生箇所特定方法に関する。本発明は、例えば、波長分割多重(WDM:Wavelength Division Multiplex)方式の伝送システム等において、対向する伝送装置の障害発生箇所の特定に適用することができる。   The present invention relates to a transmission apparatus and a method for identifying a failure location thereof. The present invention can be applied to, for example, identification of a failure occurrence point of an opposing transmission apparatus in a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission system or the like.

従来の波長分割多重方式等の伝送装置の構成例を図5に示す。図5において、5−1はA局の伝送装置、5−2はB局の伝送装置である。A局の伝送装置5−1は、インタフェース盤(IF#1〜8)5−11、合成分岐増幅部(MXAMPA)5−12、前置増幅部(PreAMPA)5−13、監視制御盤(CONT)5−14を備える。   A configuration example of a conventional transmission apparatus such as a wavelength division multiplexing system is shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 5-1 denotes a transmission apparatus for station A, and 5-2 denotes a transmission apparatus for station B. The transmission apparatus 5-1 of the A station includes an interface panel (IF # 1 to 8) 5-11, a combined branch amplification unit (MXAMPA) 5-12, a preamplification unit (PreAMPA) 5-13, and a monitoring control panel (CONT). ) 5-14.

B局の伝送装置5−2も同様に、インタフェース盤(IF#9〜16)5−21、合成分岐増幅部(MXAMPB)5−22、前置増幅部(PreAMPB)5−23、監視制御盤(CONT)5−24を備える。A局の伝送装置5−1とB局の伝送装置5−2とは、光ファイバー等による双方向の伝送路(3)を介して相互に接続され、それぞれ、各インタフェース盤5−11,5−21から入力される信号を、伝送路(3)を介して相手側の伝送装置に伝送する。   Similarly, the transmission apparatus 5-2 of the B station includes an interface board (IF # 9 to 16) 5-21, a combined branch amplification unit (MXAMPB) 5-22, a preamplification unit (PreAMPB) 5-23, and a supervisory control board. (CONT) 5-24. The station A transmission apparatus 5-1 and the station B transmission apparatus 5-2 are connected to each other via a bidirectional transmission path (3) using an optical fiber or the like. The signal input from 21 is transmitted to the transmission apparatus on the other side via the transmission path (3).

A局の伝送装置5−1の合成分岐増幅部(MXAMPA)5−12は、自装置の各インタフェース盤(IF#1〜8)5−11から入力される信号を合成して増幅して、伝送路(1)を介して前置増幅部(PreAMPA)5−13に出力し、また、該前置増幅部(PreAMPA)5−13から伝送路(2)を介して入力される他装置からの信号を分岐して各インタフェース盤(IF#1〜8)5−11に出力する。   The synthesis branch amplification unit (MXAMPA) 5-12 of the transmission apparatus 5-1 of the A station synthesizes and amplifies signals input from the respective interface boards (IF # 1 to 8) 5-11 of the own apparatus, Output from the preamplifier (PreAMPA) 5-13 via the transmission line (1), and from other devices input from the preamplifier (PreAMPA) 5-13 via the transmission line (2) Is branched and output to each interface board (IF # 1-8) 5-11.

A局の伝送装置5−1の前置増幅部(PreAMPA)5−13は、自装置の合成分岐増幅部(MXAMPA)5−12から伝送路(1)を介して出力される信号を、伝送路(3)を介してB局の伝送装置5−2へ送出し、該伝送路(3)を介してB局の伝送装置5−2から入力される信号を増幅し、伝送路(2)を介して自装置の合成分岐増幅部(MXAMPA)5−12に出力する。   The preamplifier (PreAMPA) 5-13 of the transmission apparatus 5-1 of the A station transmits a signal output from the combined branch amplification section (MXAMPA) 5-12 of its own apparatus via the transmission path (1). The signal is transmitted to the transmission apparatus 5-2 of the B station via the path (3), the signal input from the transmission apparatus 5-2 of the B station is amplified via the transmission path (3), and the transmission path (2) To the combined branch amplification unit (MXAMPA) 5-12 of the own device.

B局の伝送装置5−2の前置増幅部(PreAMPB)5−23も同様に、A局の伝送装置5−1から伝送路(3)を介して入力される信号を増幅し、伝送路(4)を介して自装置の合成分岐増幅部(MXAMPB)5−22に出力し、自装置の合成分岐増幅部(MXAMPB)5−22から伝送路(5)を介して出力される信号を、伝送路(3)を介してA局の伝送装置5−1へ送出する。   Similarly, the preamplifier (PreAMPB) 5-23 of the transmission apparatus 5-2 of the B station amplifies the signal input from the transmission apparatus 5-1 of the A station via the transmission path (3), and transmits the transmission path. (4) is output to the synthesis branch amplification unit (MXAMPB) 5-22 of the own device, and the signal output from the synthesis branch amplification unit (MXAMPB) 5-22 of the own device via the transmission path (5) Then, the data is sent to the transmission device 5-1 of the station A via the transmission path (3).

また、B局の伝送装置5−2の合成分岐増幅部(MXAMPB)5−22も同様に、自装置の前置増幅部(PreAMPB)5−23から伝送路(4)を介して入力される他装置からの信号を分岐して、各インタフェース盤(IF#9〜16)5−21に出力し、該インタフェース盤(IF#9〜16)5−21から入力される信号を合成して増幅し、伝送路(5)を介して前置増幅部(PreAMPB)5−23に出力する。   Similarly, the combined branch amplification unit (MXAMPB) 5-22 of the transmission device 5-2 of the B station is also input from the preamplification unit (PreAMPB) 5-23 of its own device via the transmission line (4). A signal from another device is branched and output to each interface board (IF # 9-16) 5-21, and a signal input from the interface board (IF # 9-16) 5-21 is synthesized and amplified. Then, the data is output to the preamplifier (PreAMPB) 5-23 through the transmission line (5).

上述の伝送路(1)〜(6)の何れの箇所で通信断の状態となると、A局の伝送装置5−1とB局の伝送装置5−2との間の通信が遮断される。波長分割多重方式等の伝送装置5−1,5−2では、通信断の発生を検出すると、インタフェース盤5−11,5−21、合成分岐増幅部5−12,5−22、前置増幅部5−13,5−23の各出力信号の送出を停止する。   If communication is interrupted at any point in the transmission paths (1) to (6), communication between the transmission device 5-1 at station A and the transmission device 5-2 at station B is interrupted. In the transmission devices 5-1 and 5-2 such as wavelength division multiplexing, when the occurrence of communication interruption is detected, the interface boards 5-11 and 5-21, the combined branch amplification units 5-12 and 5-22, and the preamplifier Transmission of the output signals of the units 5-13 and 5-23 is stopped.

伝送装置5−1,5−2のインタフェース盤5−11,5−21は、通信断の発生時に出力信号の送出を停止するが、監視制御盤(CONT)5−14,5−24から得られる一定タイミングのパルス信号を用い、障害が復旧するまでリスタートパルスを送信する。   The interface boards 5-11 and 5-21 of the transmission apparatuses 5-1 and 5-2 stop sending output signals when a communication interruption occurs, but are obtained from the monitor control boards (CONT) 5-14 and 5-24. A restart pulse is transmitted until the failure is recovered by using a pulse signal at a certain timing.

このリスタートパルスは、伝送路(1)〜(6)等の通信断が復旧されれば、合成分岐増幅部5−12,5−22、前置増幅部5−13,5−23、及び対向する伝送装置のインタフェース盤で受信される。このリスタートパルスの受信により、障害の復旧が確認される。この動作は、回線自動復旧機能(ARC機能)と称されている。   If the communication interruption of the transmission lines (1) to (6) is restored, the restart pulse is combined with the synthesis branch amplification units 5-12 and 5-22, the preamplification units 5-13 and 5-23, and Received by the interface board of the opposite transmission apparatus. The restoration of the failure is confirmed by receiving this restart pulse. This operation is called a line automatic recovery function (ARC function).

図6にリスタートパルスの発生の動作例を示す。同図に示すように、ネットワーク断(通信断)が発生すると(6−1)、前置増幅部(PreAMP)5−13,5−23で入力断が検出され、前置増幅部(PreAMP)5−13,5−23は、その出力を停止(シャットダウン)する(6−2)。   FIG. 6 shows an operation example of restart pulse generation. As shown in the figure, when a network disconnection (communication disconnection) occurs (6-1), an input disconnection is detected by the preamplifiers (PreAMP) 5-13 and 5-23, and the preamplifier (PreAMP) 5-13 and 5-23 stop (shut down) the output (6-2).

前置増幅部(PreAMP)5−13,5−23の出力停止により、インタフェース盤5−11,5−21は、ネットワーク側(伝送路(3)の方向)への送信信号の出力を停止する(6−3)。これにより、合成分岐増幅部(MXAMPB)5−12,5−22で入力断が発生し、合成分岐増幅部(MXAMPB)5−12,5−22は、その出力を停止(シャットダウン)する(6−4)。   By stopping the output of the preamplifiers (PreAMP) 5-13 and 5-23, the interface boards 5-11 and 5-21 stop outputting the transmission signal to the network side (direction of the transmission path (3)). (6-3). As a result, an input interruption occurs in the synthesis branch amplification units (MXAMPB) 5-12 and 5-22, and the synthesis branch amplification units (MXAMPB) 5-12 and 5-22 stop (shut down) their outputs (6). -4).

この状態で、インタフェース盤5−11,5−21は、監視制御盤(CONT)5−14,5−24からの一定タイミングのパルス信号を用いて、障害復旧の確認のための信号(リスタートパルス)を出力する(6−5)。ネットワーク断となった障害箇所が復旧すると、対向伝送装置でリスタートパルスが受信され、該リスタートパルスの受信により、インタフェース盤、合成分岐増幅部、前置増幅部の出力信号の送出停止(シャットダウン)を解除する(6−6)。これにより、伝送システムが復旧する(6−7)。   In this state, the interface boards 5-11 and 5-21 use a pulse signal of a fixed timing from the monitor control boards (CONT) 5-14 and 5-24 to confirm a signal for recovery from the failure (restart). Pulse) is output (6-5). When the network failure is recovered, the opposite transmission device receives a restart pulse. Upon receipt of the restart pulse, output of the output signals from the interface panel, synthesis branch amplifier, and preamplifier is stopped (shutdown). ) Is released (6-6). As a result, the transmission system is restored (6-7).

伝送装置の故障点の特定に必要な監視情報を相手側の伝送装置に通知する技術は、例えば、下記の特許文献1に記載されている。この文献に記載された技術では、光伝送路内に配置される光増幅器の利得帯域内で主信号光の波長とは異なる波長で監視制御信号を生成し、所定の時間長及び時間間隔でバースト的に送信する監視制御信号と主信号とを波長多重して光伝送路を介して転送する。該監視制御信号の転送に際して、該監視制御信号の時間長を光増幅器の過渡応答の利得飽和時間より短く設定し、主信号に極力影響を与えずに転送する。   A technique for notifying the counterpart transmission apparatus of monitoring information necessary for specifying a failure point of the transmission apparatus is described in, for example, Patent Document 1 below. In the technique described in this document, a supervisory control signal is generated at a wavelength different from the wavelength of the main signal light within the gain band of an optical amplifier arranged in the optical transmission line, and bursts at predetermined time lengths and time intervals. The supervisory control signal and the main signal to be transmitted are wavelength-multiplexed and transferred through the optical transmission line. When transferring the supervisory control signal, the time length of the supervisory control signal is set to be shorter than the gain saturation time of the transient response of the optical amplifier so that the main signal is transferred with as little influence as possible.

そして、A局の伝送装置のインタフェース盤IF#1〜8の何れか1つでもリスタートパルスを受信したか否かを監視し(ステップ2−1)、受信した場合、その受信結果を記憶する記憶部IFAを1(受信済)に設定する(ステップ2−2)。また、B局のインタフェース盤IF#9〜16の何れか1つでもリスタートパルスを受信したか否かを監視し(ステップ2−3)、受信した場合、その受信結果を記憶する記憶部IFBを1(受信済)に設定する(ステップ2−4)。   Then, it monitors whether or not any one of the interface boards IF # 1 to 8 of the transmission apparatus of the A station has received the restart pulse (step 2-1), and if received, stores the reception result. The storage unit IFA is set to 1 (received) (step 2-2). Further, it monitors whether or not any one of the interface boards IF # 9 to 16 of the station B has received the restart pulse (step 2-3), and if received, the storage unit IFB for storing the reception result Is set to 1 (received) (step 2-4).

また、A局の前置増幅部(PreAMPA)でリスタートパルスを受信したか否かを監視し(ステップ2−5)、受信した場合、その受信結果を記憶する記憶部PreAを1(受信済)に設定する(ステップ2−6)。また、B局の前置増幅部(PreAMPB)でリスタートパルスを受信したか否かを監視し(ステップ2−7)、受信した場合、その受信結果を記憶する記憶部PreBを1(受信済)に設定する(ステップ2−8)。   In addition, the preamplifier (PreAMPA) of station A monitors whether or not a restart pulse has been received (step 2-5). If received, the storage unit PreA that stores the reception result is set to 1 (received). (Step 2-6). Further, the preamplifier (PreAMPB) of station B monitors whether or not a restart pulse has been received (step 2-7). If received, the storage unit PreB that stores the reception result is set to 1 (received). (Step 2-8).

次に、上述の各記憶部IFA,IFB,PreA,PreBの記憶内容を読み出し、記憶部IFAに1、IFBに0、PreAに1、PreBに0が記憶されていると判定された場合(ステップ2−9)、A局ではB局から送出されたリスタートパルスが受信されるが、B局ではA局から送出されたリスタートパルスが前置増幅部(PreAMPB)でもインタフェース盤IF#9〜16でも受信されないため、伝送路(1)が断の状態であると判定する(ステップ2−10)。   Next, when the storage contents of each of the storage units IFA, IFB, PreA, and PreB are read and it is determined that 1 is stored in the storage unit IFA, 0 is stored in the IFB, 1 is stored in the PreA, and 0 is stored in the PreB (step) 2-9) Although the restart pulse transmitted from the B station is received at the A station, the restart pulse transmitted from the A station is received by the preamplifier (PreAMPB) at the B station. 16 is not received, it is determined that the transmission line (1) is in a disconnected state (step 2-10).

また、記憶部IFAに0、IFBに1、PreAに1、PreBに1が記憶されていると判定された場合(ステップ2−11)、A局ではB局から送出されたリスタートパルスが前置増幅部(PreAMPA)で受信されるが、インタフェース盤IF#1〜8で受信されず、B局ではA局から送出されたリスタートパルスが前置増幅部(PreAMPB)でもインタフェース盤IF#9〜16でも受信されるため、伝送路(2)が断の状態であると判定する(ステップ2−12)。   When it is determined that 0 is stored in the storage unit IFA, 1 is stored in the IFB, 1 is stored in the PreA, and 1 is stored in the PreB (step 2-11), the restart pulse transmitted from the station B is transmitted to the station A. It is received by the preamplifier (PreAMPA), but not received by the interface board IF # 1-8, and the restart pulse transmitted from the A station at the B station is also received by the preamplifier (PreAMPB) at the interface board IF # 9. ˜16, it is determined that the transmission line (2) is in a disconnected state (step 2-12).

また、記憶部IFAに0、IFBに0、PreAに0、PreBに0が記憶されていると判定された場合(ステップ2−13)、A局ではB局から送出されたリスタートパルスが前置増幅部(PreAMPA)でもインタフェース盤IF#1〜8で受信されず、B局ではA局から送出されたリスタートパルスが前置増幅部(PreAMPB)でもインタフェース盤IF#9〜16でも受信されないため、伝送路(3)が断の状態であると判定する(ステップ2−14)。   When it is determined that 0 is stored in the storage unit IFA, 0 is stored in the IFB, 0 is stored in the PreA, and 0 is stored in the PreB (step 2-13), the restart pulse transmitted from the station B is transmitted to the station A. Even the preamplifier (PreAMPA) is not received by the interface board IF # 1-8, and the restart pulse transmitted from the A station is not received by the preamplifier (PreAMPB) or the interface board IF # 9-16 at the B station. Therefore, it is determined that the transmission path (3) is in a disconnected state (step 2-14).

また、記憶部IFAに1、IFBに0、PreAに1、PreBに1が記憶されていると判定された場合(ステップ2−15)、A局ではB局から送出されたリスタートパルスが前置増幅部(PreAMPA)でもインタフェース盤IF#1〜8で受信され、B局ではA局から送出されたリスタートパルスが前置増幅部(PreAMPB)で受信されるが、インタフェース盤IF#9〜16で受信されないため、伝送路(4)が断の状態であると判定する(ステップ2−16)。   If it is determined that 1 is stored in the storage unit IFA, 0 in the IFB, 1 in the PreA, and 1 in the PreB (step 2-15), the restart pulse transmitted from the B station is transmitted to the A station. In the preamplifier (PreAMPA), the interface board IF # 1-8 receives the restart pulse. In the station B, the restart pulse transmitted from the station A is received by the preamplifier (PreAMPB). 16, it is determined that the transmission path (4) is in a disconnected state (step 2-16).

上記以外の場合、伝送路(5)が断の状態であると判定する(ステップ2−17)。或いは、上記のステップ2−17に代えて、記憶部IFAに0、IFBに1、PreAに0、PreBに1が記憶されていると判定された場合、A局ではB局から送出されたリスタートパルスが前置増幅部(PreAMPA)でもインタフェース盤IF#1〜8で受信されず、B局ではA局から送出されたリスタートパルスが前置増幅部(PreAMPB)でもインタフェース盤IF#9〜16で受信されるため、伝送路(5)が断の状態であると判定する構成とすることもできる。このように、何れの箇所が断の状態となったかを特定することが可能となる。   In cases other than the above, it is determined that the transmission line (5) is in a disconnected state (step 2-17). Alternatively, instead of the above step 2-17, if it is determined that 0 is stored in the storage unit IFA, 1 is stored in the IFB, 0 is stored in the PreA, and 1 is stored in the PreB, the station A transmits the retransmitted from the station B. The start pulse is not received by the interface board IF # 1 to 8 in the preamplifier (PreAMPA), and the restart pulse transmitted from the A station is also received in the station B by the interface board IF # 9 to Preamplifier (PreAMPB). 16, the transmission path (5) can be determined to be disconnected. In this way, it is possible to specify which part is in a disconnected state.
