DCN Gateway NE
DCN stands for data communication network. A DCN provides communication channels for managing NEs in a centralized manner to achieve remote management and maintenance of NEs.
A DCN between the NMS and NEs is called an external DCN. Generally, the NMS is connected to NEs through an external DCN that comprises LAN switches, routers, and other data communication devices. A DCN between NEs is called an internal DCN. Internal DCNs are classified into inband DCNs and outband DCNs.

Inband DCN
Outband DCN Transmission of NM information does not occupy service bandwidth because DCC bytes in overheads serve as physical channels of a DCN. Inband DCN Transmission of NM information occupies service channels (Ethernet service channels generally). For example, a VLAN of data services is used to transmit NM information.

Scenario 1: Point to Point (Independent Channels) Description of the scenario: The protocol converter performs protocol conversion and point-to-point transmission. In this scenario, protocol converters are used in pairs. That is, the number of protocol converters that are used in the NM center is equal to the number of protocol converters that are used at the remote pass-through point.

Advantages and disadvantages of the solution: The advantage of this solution is simplicity. The disadvantage is that, in the case of multiple pass-through points, the number of protocol converters in the NM center is large and many transmission channels are occupied. Therefore, this solution is applicable to the scenario wherein only a few pass-through points exist.

Scenario 3: Cascading Converters (Shared Channels) Description of the scenario: In practice, as E1 bandwidths are valuable, multiple protocol converters may share one E1; that is, each converter occupies one or several 64 kbit/s timeslots of the E1. As a result, the converters are cascaded.

Case 2: Large-Scale Network Comprising Only Huawei Radio Equipment Description of the scenario: In the case of a large-scale network comprising only Huawei radio equipment, divide the network into subnets and set a gateway NE for each subnet. Group a maximum of 60 adjacent NEs into one subnet. See the following figure. The network is divided into five subnets. Note: If the HWECC protocol is adopted, one gateway NE can support a maximum of 100 non-gateway NEs.

DCN Concepts and DCN Specifications Multi-Scenario DCN Solutions DCN Cases FAQs
FAQs Q: How to obtain documents about protocol converters? A: Visit The description of Protocol Converter on website 3ms. Q:Why hybrid network with a third party recommended protocol converter? A: If possible, you can also use the Ethernet transparent transmission DCN information.but in the existing TDM microwave network, Ethernet ports are scarce, generally no Ethernet interface, in most cases need to use protocol converters for conversion information transmit DCN. If you are using the Ethernet network to allow transmission through the DCN information, will be a very good program. Q: Where are documents about DCN solutions available, except for this slide? A: Download documents about DCN solutions from website 3MS. Document Name
