1. SCOPE AND CLASSIFICATION

1.1. Scope This product description contains the technical requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for a Dedicated Network Telecommunications System (DNTS). The DNTS is intended for use as the principal element in a fiber optic based signal distribution system for airports.

1.2. System Overview The Dedicated Network Telecommunications System (DNTS) equipment will replace current telecommunications equipment providing communications between FAA facilities on airport. The DNTS equipment described in this PD will replace aging, unsupportable telecommunications equipment currently operating in the National Airspace System (NAS), and will provide telecommunications equipment for future expansion projects and new facility starts. While the new DNTS equipment will utilize recent technology components and include additional features, they will also support existing legacy interfaces and be physically compatible with existing equipment. This PD covers only the telecommunications equipment for the Airport Cable Loop System Sustained Support program to be procured by the FAA.

(a) Test (T). Test is defined as a method of verification wherein performance is measured during or after the controlled application of functional and/or environmental stimuli. Quantitative measurements are analyzed to determine the degree of compliance. The testing may be either automated or manual.

(b) Demonstration (D). Demonstration is defined as a method of verification where qualitative determination of properties is made for an end-item, including software and/or the use of technical data and documentation. The items being verified are observed in a dynamic state.

(c) Analysis (A). Analysis is defined as a method of verification consisting of a comparison of hardware or software design(s) with known scientific and technical principles, procedures, properties, and practices to evaluate the capability of a proposed design to meet the mission and/or system requirements. Analysis will be performed by means of an FAA review of technical data that are collected by the Offeror and (a) compiled into a data analysis report or (b) included as a white paper prepared by the Offeror against specific requirements.

6. Applicable Definitions 6.1. Commonly Addressed Channels As used herein, in a ring configuration, a feature which allows more than two channel modules to have the same assignment (i.e., a common address) within the aggregate bit stream with the provision that the equipment at all nodes of the ring retransmit the signals of all commonly addressed channels, if necessary.

6.2. Data Rate As used herein, the digital transmission capacity expressed in bits per second (b/s).

6.3. Digital Signal 1 (DS1) A digital signaling rate of 1.544 Mb/s, corresponding to the North American and Japanese T1 designator that complies with ANSI T1.403.

6.4. Ethernet A standard protocol for a baseband Local Area Network (LAN) bus, using carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) as the access method, as defined by ATIS T1.523- 2001 and implemented at the Physical Layer in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI).

6.5. Failure As used herein, any condition that results in the system not meeting the operating requirements specified herein.

6.6. Lowest Replaceable Unit (LRU) As used herein, the lowest level subassembly to be replaced during site level maintenance activities. Note: An LRU is a separate, replaceable physical package that performs usually a single function or a group of closely related functions.

6.7. Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) An indicator of expected system reliability, usually expressed in hours, and which is calculated on a statistical basis from the known failure rates of various components of the system as defined by ATIS T1.523-2001.

6.8. Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) As used herein, the statistical mean interval, expressed in hours and minutes, required to restore the system to full functional capability (travel time is not included). Note: The interval measured is the total time required to diagnose to the module level, replace the defective module(s), test, and validate the operational status of the system.

6.9. Network Element A facility or equipment that provides or supports telecommunications services.

6.10. Outage As used herein, any fault that (a) results in a loss of communication affecting one or more channels, or (b) results in a bit error ratio worse than 1x10-6 in any data stream at any point in the

DNTS, and (c) is not successfully bypassed by automatic switching to a spare facility.

6.11. Synchronous Optical NETwork (SONET) An interface standard for synchronous optical network transmission applicable to the Physical Layer of the OSI Reference Model. Note: Signals are transmitted at Optical Carrier (OC) rates in defined multiples of 51.840 Mb/s (OC-1). A data rate of 51.840 Mb/s corresponds to the optical carrier rate level 1 (OC-1); a data rate of 155.52 Mb/s corresponds to the optical carrier rate level 3 (OC-3), etc.

6.12. Unidirectional Path Switched Ring (UPSR) A survivable, closed loop, transport architecture that protects against transmission medium and node failures by means of diverse paths consisting of counter-rotating rings. Note: The transmission media form two counter-rotating rings, carrying traffic in both directions. The destination node monitors both directions and immediately switches to the alternate path upon loss or degradation of the received signal.

6.13. Event An event is an unsolicited notification, such as an SNMP trap generated by an agent process in a managed object (network element) or by a user action. Event messages received from network elements are referred to as Alarms. The terms Alarm and Event can be used interchangeably.

6.14. Event Correlation (a) Event correlation consists of event filtering, event aggregation, event translation, event masking, and action triggering.

(b) Event filtering – Event filtering consists of discarding events that are deemed to be irrelevant and filtering of informational or debugging events that are only interested in availability and faults.

(c) Event aggregation – Event aggregation (also known as event de-duplication) consists in merging duplicates of the same event. Such duplicates may be caused by network instability (e.g., the same event is sent twice by the event source because the first instance was not acknowledged sufficiently, but both instances eventually reach the event destination). Another example is the same event is sent repeatedly by the event source until the problem is solved.

(d) Event Translation – Event translation is the Network Management System’s ability to translate an incoming event by suppressing the original event and transmitting a modified version of the original.

(e) Event masking – Event masking consists in ignoring events pertaining to systems that are downstream of a failed system. For example, servers that are downstream of a crashed router will fail availability polling.
