Overview
The eMOTR 4xXFP/8xSFP+, eMOTR 4xXFP/8xSFP+/32xSFP, and eMOTR
Edge 4xXFP/2xSFP+/8xSFP circuit packs (also known as eMOTR) are high-
density, low-cost, multi-port Layer 2 OTR circuit packs and provide pluggable
optics from the circuit pack faceplate for bidirectional Layer 2 (L2) aggregation.
The following variants of eMOTR circuit packs are supported:
• eMOTR 4xXFP/8xSFP+ (NTK536AA and NTK536AB)
These eMOTR variants use up to eight SFP+ optics and up to four XFP
optics. The NTK536AB circuit pack is the enhanced variant of NTK536AA
eMOTR circuit pack that supports line synchronization mode when mating
with 40G OCLD (NTK539PxE5) or Wavelength-Selective 40G OCLD
(NTK539RxE5) circuit packs.
• eMOTR 4xXFP/8xSFP+/32xSFP (NTK536FA, and NTK536FB)
These eMOTR variants use up to eight SFP+ optics, up to 32 SFP optics,
and up to four XFP optics. The NTK536FB circuit pack is the enhanced
variant of NTK536FA eMOTR circuit pack that supports line
synchronization mode when mating with 40G OCLD (NTK539PxE5) or
Wavelength-Selective 40G OCLD (NTK539RxE5) circuit packs.
(NTK539RxE5) circuit packs.
• eMOTR Edge 4xXFP/2xSFP+/8xSFP (NTK536BE)
This eMOTR variant uses up to two SFP+ optics, up to eight SFP optics,
and up to four XFP optics. Unlike other eMOTR variants (NTK536AA,
NTK536AB, NTK536FA, and NTK536FB), the NTK536BE variant
— cannot be mated with 40G OCLD (NTK539PxE5) or Wavelength-
Selective 40G OCLD (NTK539RxE5) circuit packs.
— can be used in an extended temperature environment.
Note: Unless otherwise specified, eMOTR in this document refers to
eMOTR (NTK536AA, NTK536AB, NTK536FA, NTK536FB) and eMOTR
Edge (NTK536BE) variants.

• Equipment groups (NTK536AA, NTK536AB, NTK536FA, NTK536FB

variants)
These variants of eMOTR circuit packs use equipment groups. By default,
each eMOTR circuit pack inserted in a 6500 shelf is automatically
provisioned in an independent equipment group. Equipment groups can
be composed of up to two eMOTR circuit packs (same type) and up to two
40G OCLD (NTK539PxE5) or Wavelength-Selective 40G OCLD
(NTK539RxE5) circuit packs (quad or half-quad configuration) where
mate-to-mate bandwidth is automatically provisioned between eMOTR
circuit packs and between eMOTR and 40G OCLD or Wavelength-
Selective 40G OCLD circuit packs (for allowable slots, see Table 3 on page
16 and Table 4 on page 17). From a Layer 2 provisioning perspective, the
user only provisions traffic on the faceplate and 10GE backplane ports
mated to the 40G OCLD (or Wavelength-Selective 40G OCLD) circuit
packs, no specific Layer 2 provisioning is required to flow traffic between
eMOTR circuit packs in the same equipment group. There is 80 Gbps of
traffic capacity between adjacent eMOTR circuit packs in the same
equipment group.
Note: All supported functionalities between NTK536AA and NTK536AB
variants or between NTK536FA and NTK536FB variants of eMOTR circuit
packs are equivalent.

• Equipment groups (NTK536BE variant)

This variant of eMOTR circuit pack also uses equipment groups. By
default, each eMOTR circuit pack inserted in a 6500 shelf is automatically
provisioned in an independent equipment group. Equipment groups can
be composed of up to two eMOTR circuit packs (same type) (for allowable

30 eMOTR circuit packs

Special considerations when using 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 SFP

(NTTP61CA)
In an eMOTR Edge variant (NTK536BE), ports 1 to 8 can be used for RJ45
electrical SFPs. Since RJ45 cables occupy more space in the shelf fiber
compared to optical patch cords, use of RJ45 electrical SFPs can result in
congestion in the shelf fiber manager. The following rules are recommended
when equipping RJ45 electrical SFPs in different 6500 shelf types:
• 2-slot shelf type: recommended no more than two electrical SFP ports per
circuit pack. Total number of electrical SFPs per shelf is four. To minimize
congestion use 1.6 mm diameter bend insensitive fiber patchcords on any
optical ports in the shelf.
• 4-slot shelf type: recommended no more than four electrical SFP ports per
circuit pack. Total number of electrical SFPs per shelf is eight. To minimize
congestion use 1.6 mm diameter bend insensitive fiber patchcords on any
optical ports in the shelf.
• 7-slot optical Type 2 shelf type: recommended no more than two ports per
circuit pack. Total number of electrical SFPs per shelf is eight. Optimal
location for circuit pack placements are slots 1/2 and 6/7. To minimize
congestion use 1.6 mm diameter bend insensitive fiber patchcords on any
optical ports in the same half of the shelf (slots 15, 1-3 in the lower half
and slots 4-7 in the upper half).
• 6500-7 packet-optical shelf type: recommended no more than two ports
per circuit pack. Total number of electrical SFPs per shelf is four. Optimal
location for circuit pack placements are slots 1 and 2. To minimize
congestion use 1.6 mm diameter bend insensitive fiber patchcords on any
optical ports in the same half of the shelf (slots 1-4 in the lower half and
slots 4-8 in the upper half).
• 14-slot shelf type: recommended no more than four ports per circuit pack.
Total number of electrical SFPs per shelf half is 12. Optimal locations for
circuit pack placements are slots 1/2 and 13/14. To minimize congestion
use 1.6 mm diameter bend insensitive fiber patchcords on any optical
ports in the pair of slots that share a cable/fiber exit (adjacent odd and
even slots).
• 32-slot shelf type: recommended no more than four ports per circuit pack.
Total number of electrical SFPs per shelf quadrant is 12. Optimal locations
for circuit pack placements are slots 1/2, 17/18, 21/22 and 37/38. To
minimize congestion use 1.6 mm diameter bend insensitive fiber
patchcords on any optical ports in the shelf quadrant. Note that use of
brackets with a 50 mm setback further reduces the quadrant’s cable/fiber
exit capacity in front of the brackets by approximately 45%.

In an eMOTR variant (NTK536FA), ports 21 to 28 can be used for electrical

SFPs and the following rules are recommended when equipped in different
6500 shelf types:
• 7-slot optical Type 2 shelf type: recommended no more than four ports per
circuit pack. Total number of electrical SFPs per shelf is eight. Optimal
location for circuit pack placements are slots 1/2 and 6/7. To minimize
congestion use 1.6 mm diameter bend insensitive fiber patchcords on any
optical ports in the shelf.
• 6500-7 packet-optical shelf type: recommended no more than four ports.
Total number of electrical SFPs per shelf is four. Optimal location for circuit
pack placements are slots 1 and 2. To minimize congestion use 1.6 mm
diameter bend insensitive fiber patchcords on any optical ports in the
same half of the shelf (slots 1-4 in the lower half and slots 4-8 in the upper
half).
• 14-slot shelf type: recommended no more than four ports per circuit pack.
Total number of electrical SFPs per shelf half is 12. Optimal location for
circuit pack placements are slots 1 and 2. To minimize congestion use 1.6
mm diameter bend insensitive fiber patchcords on any optical ports in the
pair of slots that share a cable/fiber exit (adjacent odd and even slots).
• 32-slot shelf type: recommended no more than four ports per circuit pack.
Total number of electrical SFPs per shelf quadrant is 12. Optimal locations
for circuit pack placements are slots 1/2, 17/18, 21/22 and 37/38. To
minimize congestion use 1.6 mm diameter bend insensitive fiber
patchcords on any optical ports in the shelf quadrant. Note that use of
brackets with a 50 mm setback further reduces the quadrant’s cable/fiber
exit capacity in front of the brackets by approximately 45%.

Note 1: To support eMOTR circuit packs on a 7-slot optical Type 2 shelf (NTK503KA) when equipped
with AC power input cards, the shelf requires the minimum of following power setup:
• two working AC power input cards and one protection AC power input card, or
• two AC power input cards and two protection AC power input cards.

To support full-filled eMOTR circuit packs on a 7-slot optical Type 2 shelf (NTK503KA) when equipped
with AC power input cards, the shelf requires three working AC power input cards and one protection
AC power input card.
Note 2: The following considerations apply when equipping an eMOTR circuit pack in an NTK503LA
2-slot shelf equipped with 24 Vdc Power Input Card (breakered) - 2-Wire D-Sub Input (NTK505TR):
• Only one NTK536AA or NTK536AB eMOTR can be equipped (the remaining slot can optionally be
equipped with another lower power circuit pack type as long as the total power budget does not exceed
the limits for the 24 Vdc application).
• If two NTK536BE eMOTRs are equipped, it is not possible to full-fill all the pluggable transceiver ports
in both circuit packs since there is insufficient power in the 24 Vdc application power budget. For 24
Vdc applications that require equipping two NTK536BE eMOTRs, you must confirm that the total
power budget (including all pluggable transceivers) does not exceed the 24 Vdc application power
budget.
• Use of NTK536FA or NTK535FB eMOTR is not recommended because there is insufficient power in
the 24 Vdc application power budget to equip the eMOTR with many pluggable transceivers.

For additional information, refer to the Power specifications section in Planning, NTRN10GS.
Note 3: The NTK536AA or NTK536AB variant of eMOTR circuit packs cannot be configured in a 2-
circuit pack equipment group in a 2-slot shelf type (i.e. cannot be mated with another NTK536AA or
NTK536AB circuit pack in a 2-slot shelf). The NTK536BE variant of eMOTR circuit packs can be
configured in a 2-circuit pack equipment group in a 2-slot shelf type (i.e. can be mated with another
NTK536BE circuit pack in a 2-slot shelf).
Note 4: The NTK536AA variant of eMOTR is not supported.
Note 5: The NTK536FA variant of eMOTR is not supported.

ATTENTION
For NTK536FA and NTK536FB variants of eMOTR circuit packs, use only fiber
patch cords that are bend-insensitive in accordance to ITU-T G.657 and have a 1.6
mm diameter (such as NTTC90xx, NTTC91xx, and NTTC92xx) if any of the
following apply:
• if you plan to connect more than 16 duplex ports per slot.
• if equipping the left or right side of the 14-slot shelf or a quadrant of a 32-slot with
three or more circuit packs such that the total number of fibers will exceed 192
fibers (96 duplex port connections). You must take care when dressing the fibers in
front of the circuit pack in order to minimize layering and twisting that may result in
interference with a shelf front cover if equipped. An extended depth cover solution
will provide additional space in front of the circuit pack.

• requires that the 6500 shelf is equipped with the SP-2 shelf processor
(NTK555EAE5, NTK555CAE5, or NTK555FAE5), SP-3 shelf processor
(NTK555JA), SPAP-2 w/2xOSC 2xSFP (NTK555NA or NTK555NB), or
SPAP-3 w/2xOSC 2xSFP (NTK555PA), otherwise the eMOTR equipment
does not provision.
• requires high flow cooling fan modules (NTK507LDE5, NTK507MDE5,
NTK507LS, and NTK507MS) when equipped in a 14-slot shelf
• for NTK536FA and NTK536FB variants of eMOTR circuit packs in a 14-
slot shelf with front-exhaust fans (NTK507LDE5 or NTK507LS) that is
currently equipped with an air deflector grill (NTK509FA/NTK509FAE6),
the air deflector grill must be removed
• for NTK536FA and NTK536FB variants of eMOTR circuit packs in a shelf
that is equipped in the same rack as one or more other shelves configured
for front exhaust, refer to “Front exhaust considerations” in the Bay/rack
configurations section in Planning, NTRN10GS

Note 1: The typical power consumption values are based on operation at an ambient temperature of
25 (+/-3oC) and voltage of 54 Vdc (+/-2.5 V) or in the full operational voltage range in the case of AC-
powered equipment. For practical purposes, the typical power consumption can be used as the item’s
heat dissipation when estimating the thermal load (long-term heat release of the item in a system).
Note 2: The power budget values are based on the maximum power consumption in an ambient
temperature range from 5oC to 40oC at a voltage of 40 Vdc (+/-2.5 V) or in the full operational voltage
range in the case of AC-powered equipment. These values must be used in sizing feeders and
estimating theoretical maximum power draw.
Note 3: The power consumption values are derated so that pluggables transceivers must be
considered separately. When estimating the total power for the equipment in a slot or in a system, you
must add the power values for each of the required pluggable devices. For pluggable specifications,
refer to Pluggable Datasheets and Reference, 323-1851-180 (Chapter 2 for XFP, Chapter 3 for SFP, or
Chapter 4 for SFP+).
Note 4: For this circuit pack that must be equipped with SFPs and XFPs, the power values published
in this table do not include SFPs and XFPs power values. You must add:
• 1 W to typical or power budget values per SFP.
• 2 W to typical power value and 3 W to power budget for each XFP module with reach less than IR-2/
S-64.2b.
• 3 W to typical power value and 4 W to power budget for each XFP module with IR-2/S-64.2b reach or

44 eMOTR circuit packs

— Add PTP facility on the 40G circuit pack and add ODUTTP facilities on
the eMOTR backplane port (if not auto-created) using “Adding a facility
to an equipment” on page 52.

• Add the PTP facility on the eMOTR faceplate (if not auto-created) using
“Adding a facility to an equipment” on page 52.
• Edit facility parameters as required using “Editing facility parameters” on
page 58.
• Configure packet services through SAOS-based CLI. Refer to SAOS-
based Packet Services Configuration, 323-1851-630.

Provisioning rules summary for the eMOTR circuit packs

• To provision an eMOTR circuit pack, the shelf must be equipped with the
SP-3, SP-2, SPAP-3 w/2xOSC 2xSFP, or SPAP-2 w/2xOSC 2xSFP shelf
processor.
• On the eMOTR circuit packs, ports 9 to 12 are the XFP ports, 10GE LAN,
OTU2 (10.7G), or OTU2e (11.09G), and ports 1 to 8 are the 10GE SFP+
and GE SFP ports. Ports 21 to 36 and 41 to 56 on the NTK536FA variant
are the GE SFP ports.
• PTP facilities are defined as the physical layer of an eMOTR port.
Provisioning a PTP facility with a specified service type automatically
creates a complete set of child facilities down to the ETTP facility. See the
following figure for details.
• The primary state of any applicable child OTUTTP/ODUTTP/WAN/ETTP
facilities is managed through the parent PTP facility for faceplate ports. To
delete the PTP facility, there must be no L2 services provisioned on the
associated SAOS port, or the eMOTR circuit pack must be physically
removed. Any applicable child OTUTTP/ODUTTP/WAN/ETTP facilities
are deleted when the parent PTP facility is deleted.

• Backplane ODUTTPs can be auto created as a result of changing the

eMOTR equipment profile or equipment profile 2, or manually created if
they were previously deleted. To delete a backplane ODUTTP, there must
be no L2 services provisioned on the associated SAOS port(s). The state
of the child ETTP and WAN facilities on the eMOTR backplane is managed
through the state of their parent ODU2/ODU2E ODUTTP.

Note 1: For supported pluggable modules refer to hardware section.

Note 2: Auto means the facility is auto-provisioned upon equipment/pluggable equipment creation. The
facilities in brackets are facilities auto-created on the same port as the main facility or equipment. These
facilities inherit the primary state of the main facility/equipment and are auto-deleted when the main
facility/equipment is deleted. For more information on the rules related to this circuit pack, see
“Provisioning rules summary for the eMOTR circuit packs” on page 44.
Note 3: T he WAN facility is auto-created only if the PTP service type is OTU2.
Note 4: The backplane facilities (except FTTP) are created when the eMOTR equipment profile is set
to 4x10G. The virtual port number is 100 if the left equipment profile is 4x10G, or 200 if the right
equipment profile (Equipment Profile 2) is 4x10G. The backplane FTTP facility is created when the PTP
facility is created on the mate 40G OCLD/Wavelength-Selective 40G OCLD. See Figure 9 on page 46
for more information about the supported facilities.

Procedure 6 Provisioning the network element timing

mode and references
Use this procedure to provision the timing generation (timing mode and
references) for the network element.

Requirements
To perform this procedure, you must:
• use an account with a level 3 UPC or higher
• have a network synchronization plan for the network element

Overview
The timing mode can be set to:
• internal timing—the shelf timing is derived from an internal clock on the
cross-connect circuit pack
• line timing—the shelf timing is derived from received ETTP/OTUTTP
signal
• external timing—the shelf timing is derived from the BITSIN/ESI ports
• mixed timing—the shelf timing is derived from ETTP/OTUTTP ports or
BITSIN/ESI ports

For line timing, external timing, and mixed timing, a hierarchy of up to four
reference sources can be provisioned. The timing generation selects the
source in the hierarchy with the highest derived quality level for the shelf
timing. If there is more than one source at the highest derived quality level, the
timing generation selects the highest priority source in the hierarchy from
references with the same derived quality level (first is the highest priority and
fourth is the lowest priority). To provision a timing source from an ETTP/
OTUTTP port, the reference source must be logically equipped.

If a reference source is selected as the active source, the reference source

cannot be deprovisioned (Source changed to None). To deprovision the
active source, you first must either perform a manual switch to another source
or a lockout on the active source.

If a reference source is not selected as the active source, it can be

deprovisioned (Source changed to None). It is recommended that you
perform a lockout of the reference source before deprovisioning it.

The internal timing source is provided by a SONET/SDH-compliant Stratum 3/

G.813 Option 1 free running clock (±4.6 ppm) produced within the network
element. Sources of line timing are OTM2/ETH10G/ETTP/OTUTTP facilities.

Steps
1 Select the required network element in the navigation tree.
2 Select Synchronization from the Configuration drop-down menu to open
the Synchronization application.
3 Select the required shelf from the Shelf drop-down list.
4 If you want to provision Then go to
the timing mode and references of an independent timing step 5
group
otherwise step 6

5 Select the required Timing Group Name for the independent timing group for
which you wish to change the mode.
6 Select the Timing Generation tab.
7 Click Edit to open the Synchronization Edit dialog box.
8 Select Timing Mode & References from the Type drop-down list.
9 From the network synchronization plan, determine the timing mode required.
Select the required Timing mode radio button to set the timing mode for the
network element.

CAUTION
Risk of timing loops
To avoid timing loops, verify the clock source setting of
each network element in the network. An incorrect
clock source setting can cause a service outage.

In case of provisioning an independent timing group, you have the options of

only Line Timing and Internal Timing, and external or mixed timing modes
are not supported. In case of selecting Line Timing, you can choose up to
two references for this timing group. You must note that:
• all references must be chosen from valid facilities which are on the
equipment contained within the independent timing group
• at most, one reference per circuit pack
In general, the Timing mode radio buttons are disabled if both cross-connect
circuit packs are missing.
Except when changing the timing mode from line timing or external timing to
mixed timing, you must remove all references from the hierarchy (set the
references to None, see step 10) before changing the timing mode.

10 From the network synchronization plan, determine the references to be

provisioned. For each timing generation reference to be provisioned, select
the timing reference from the appropriate source drop-down list, leave all
other possible references as None. See Table 22 on page 79.
• Only one port of each multi-port circuit pack can be used as a timing
reference source.
• The available options from the source drop-down lists are dependent on
the selected timing mode. Only logically equipped sources are available
for selection.
• You cannot remove the active reference source from the hierarchy. To
remove the active source from the timing generation hierarchy, you first
must either perform a manual switch away from the active source or a
lockout on the active source.
• If a reference source is not selected as the active source, it can be
removed from the timing generation hierarchy. It is recommended that
you perform a lockout of the reference source before removing it from the
timing generation hierarchy.
11 Click OK.
12 Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.

Procedure 8 Creating an equipment group and adding

members
Use this procedure to create an equipment group and add an equipment
group member. This procedure is applicable to eMOTR and 40G OCLD/
Wavelength-Selective 40G OCLD only.

Overview
By default, each eMOTR inserted in the 6500 NE is automatically provisioned
in an independent equipment group (EQPTGRP-shelf-slot). You cannot add
a member to an auto-created equipment group.

Manually created equipment groups (EQPTGRP-shelf-groupID) can have a

maximum two member eMOTR circuit packs. Mate-to-mate bandwidth is
automatically provisioned between eMOTR circuit packs. The two member
eMOTR circuit packs must be of the same type (both single slot or dual slot)
and equipped in adjacent slots. The Equipment Profile2 of the left eMOTR and
the Equipment Profile of the right eMOTR must be None.

When adding the second eMOTR to an equipment group, the second eMOTR
cannot have saved or active L2 configurations on any of its ETTP ports, that
is, the L2 Saved Config and L2 Active Config ETTP parameters must be No.
The existing eMOTR in the equipment group cannot have saved or active L2
configurations on any of its in-service ETTP ports.

On a 14-slot shelf, two single slot eMOTR circuit packs in slots 6/7, 7/8, or 8/
9 cannot be added to the same equipment group. Two dual slot eMOTR circuit
packs in slots 5/7, or 7/9 cannot be added to the same equipment group.

On the 2-slot shelf (NTK503LA variant), two single slot eMOTR circuit packs
in the same equipment group is not supported.

Manually created equipment groups can have two adjacent eMOTR circuit
packs in the middle and one 40G OCLD/Wavelength-Selective 40G OCLD
circuit pack to the left and one 40G OCLD/Wavelength-Selective 40G OCLD
circuit pack to the right. The eMOTR is mated when PTP facility is created on
the mate 40G OCLD/Wavelength-Selective 40G OCLD, The two mate 40G
OCLD/Wavelength-Selective 40G OCLD circuit packs can have different
product engineering codes (PEC). The Equipment Profile of the left eMOTR
and the Equipment Profile 2 of the right eMOTR must be 4x10G.

The eMOTR circuit packs must be added to the equipment group first. There
must be no existing facilities on the 40G OCLD/Wavelength-Selective 40G
OCLD circuit packs before they can be added to the equipment group. When
adding the 40G OCLD/Wavelength-Selective 40G OCLD into the equipment

group, all in-use facilities on eMOTR must be OOS. If line timing is provisioned
on the eMOTR, both eMOTRs in the equipment group must be the
NTK536AB/NTK536FB variants, or the request will be blocked.

The supported slots for a four-card equipment group involving single slot
eMOTR circuit packs are x to x+3, where x = 1 to 3 in a 6500-7 packet-optical
shelf; x = 1 to 4 in a 7-slot shelf; x = 1 to 3 and 9 to 11 in a 14-slot shelf; x= 1,
3, 5, 11, 13, 15, 21, 23, 25, 31, 33, 35 in a 32-slot shelf.

The supported slots for a four-card equipment group involving dual slot
eMOTR circuit packs are {x, x+1, x+3, x+5}, where x = 1 in a 6500-7 packet-
optical shelf; x = 1 in a 7-slot shelf; x = 1 and 9 in a 14-slot shelf; x= 1, 13, 21,
and 33 in a 32-slot shelf.

Two-card equipment groups (OCLD-single eMOTR or single eMOTR-OCLD)

are supported in the same shelf types with the same slot assignment as four-
card equipment groups. For example, a four-card configuration is supported
in slots 1 to 4 (OCLD-eMOTR-eMOTR-OCLD) of 6500-7 packet-optical, 7-
slot, 14-slot, and 32-slot shelves, meaning a two-card configuration can be
defined in slots 1 and 2 (OCLD-eMOTR) or in slots 3 and 4 (eMOTR-OCLD).

The four-card slots can be configured as two independent two-card

configurations, or the two unused slots can be used for other services. A two-
card equipment group can be expanded to a four-card configuration by the
addition of an eMOTR-OCLD or OCLD-eMOTR pair to the provisioned
equipment group. A four-card configuration can be reduced to a two-card
configuration by deleting an eMOTR-OCLD or OCLD-eMOTR pair from the
provisioned equipment group.

The two-card configuration (OCLD-single eMOTR) is also supported in the 2-

slot shelf (NTK503LA w/ SPAP-2 w/2xOSC 2xSFP or w/ SPAP-3 w/2xOSC
2xSFP), where the OCLD is in slot 1 and the eMOTR is in slot 2.

If the OCLD is to the left of the eMOTR, the Equipment Profile of the eMOTR
must be 4x10G. If the OCLD is to the right of the eMOTR, the Equipment
Profile 2 of the eMOTR must be 4x10G.

If the network element is managed using OneControl, refer to the “Managing

eMOTR equipment group changes” section in OneControl Service
Management Guide, 450-3201-302, for more information.
