Alcatel-Lucent 1643 AMS Access Multiplexer Small2
The Alcatel-Lucent 1643 Access Multiplexer Small
(AMS) is a compact multiservice provisioning
platform (MSPP) that allows service providers
to deliver new services to small and medium
enterprises (SME). Delivering cost-effective,
multiservice access, the 1643 AMS adds Ethernet to
traditional TDM and SDH networks, eliminating the
need for overlay equipment. Extending networks
to the customer premises, it is energy efficient and
compact, improving the use of space and reducing
operating expenditures (OPEX) while offering
enhanced revenue-generating potential.

New services, such as triple play and
business Ethernet, are placing great
demands on the existing transport
infrastructure. To be profitable, service
providers must reduce OPEX while
meeting SME demands by offering a
host of revenue-generating Internet
Protocol (IP) and Ethernet services.
At the same time, they must avoid
the complexity and expense of over-
lay networks.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1643 AMS,
a compact multiservice customer
premises equipment (CPE), econo-
mically transports TDM and Ethernet
services over SDH networks. This
system converges voice and data
traffic, eliminating the need for
overlay networks.
The 1643 AMS efficiently delivers
enterprise network services, such as
LAN and Private Branch Exchange
(PBX) interconnection over fiber,
all services where high performance
and reliability are essential attributes.
Used for interoffice applications in
both access and mobile networks, it
facilitates LAN-to-LAN communica-
tions on campus and virtual private
networks (VPNs). The 1643 AMS
has the flexibility to function in diverse
local-loop environments, supporting
various ring configurations for fiber-
to-the-business or -home (FTTB or
FTTH) applications.

Enhanced revenue potential,
reduced expenses
The 1643 AMS system enhances
service-provider revenue-generating
opportunities by delivering services
such as IP transport, Ethernet Layer
2 VPN and TDM. It decreases OPEX
through efficient use of space in
tight environments and low power
consumption.
Extended Ethernet services
When deploying the optional
Alcatel-Lucent Tr a n s L A N ®Cards,
the 1643 AMS delivers a diverse
mix of standardized Ethernet
services. Depending on the Tra n s -
LAN Card selected, the 1643 AMS
provides numerous capabilities:
• Full Layer 2 switching functional-
ity: point-to-point and point-to-
multipoint
• Virtual concatenation (VCAT) and
generic framing procedure (GFP)
• Link capacity adjustment scheme
(LCAS)
• International Electotechnical
Commission (IEEE) 802.1Q and
802.1ad virtual local area network
(VLAN) tagging
• VLAN trunking, saving physical
interfaces at hub locations
As shown in Figure 1, the 1643 AMS
supports cost-efficient and reliable
multiservice transport for metro
access. It can be deployed with other
SDH platforms, such as the Alcatel-
Lucent 1645 AMC, for aggregation
to higher speed networks.

Versatile and robust
management capabilities
As part of the Alcatel-Lucent optical
portfolio, the 1643 AMS is supported
by the Alcatel-Lucent 1350 Optical
Management System (OMS), a
flexible network management
package customized to meet specific
operational needs. With OMS, the
1643 AMS is managed through an
embedded communications channel.
The 1643 AMS also supports a PC-
based craft interface for local and
remote management and low-cost
centralized alarming. In addition,
the 1643 AMS can be integrated into
Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) management systems.
The 1643 AMS derives fault-manage-
ment information by monitoring and
analyzing information contained in
the path overhead of each virtual
container (VC). Alarm information
is filtered and displayed locally, and
transmitted to the management-
center database.
Performance-management infor-
mation from the overhead bytes is
analyzed and stored in the database
of the 1643 AMS. When equipped
with a Tr a n s L A N Card, the 1643
AMS stores Ethernet-specific per-
formance information. This feature
facilitates quick turnaround for
physical-configuration changes.
For data communication networks
(DCNs), the 1643 AMS offers several
data communication channel (DCC)
functions, providing multivendor
interworking opportunities.
The 1643 AMS is a compact and
cost-effective multiservice unit that
enables next-generation services over
existing SDH networks.
Wide range of installation
options
The 1643 AMS is designed for
rack-mounted applications, while
offering both street-cabinet and CPE
installation capabilities. Using either
DC or AC power, it also provides
operating flexibility.

Fiber and copper
access options
When fiber access is available,
the 1643 AMS is installed directly
as CPE. If the last mile to the
customer premise must be bridged
through copper, the 1643 AMS
provides a symmetric high-speed
digital subscriber line (SHDSL)
option. As a result, E1 over copper
or 10/100BASE-T Ethernet access
through up to four combined SHDSL
copper lines can be served.
The base 1643 AMS configuration
consists of a main board with 16 E1
ports, cages for two Small Form Fac-
tor Pluggables (SFPs) and one option-
board slot. The hot-pluggable SFPs
used in terminal-multiplexer or add/
drop multiplexer (ADM) applications,
are offered in three different types:
• STM-1 optical line interface:
S-1.1, L-1.1, L-1.2 (SFP)
• STM-1 electrical interface
• STM-1 bidirectional
In addition, there is an option board
available to support one of the follow-
ing interface types: E1, DS1, E3, DS3,
SHDSL and 10/100/1000BASE-T and
1000BASE-X Ethernet.

Cost-effective
next-generation services
The E1 ports offer an Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN)
mode, meeting to G.704 and I.431
specifications, and they support
retiming mode and frame-slip
control. The system offers flexible
and adaptive bandwidth allocation
by transporting LAN traffic in
VCAT VC-12s or VC-3s.
The 1643 AMS adds Ethernet,
Fast Ethernet (FE) and Gigabit
Ethernet (GigE) transport service
to the existing SDH infrastructure.
A more cost-effective alternative
to separate networks, it converges
voice and data traffic, eliminating
the need for overlay networks and
increasing the network’s revenue-
generating opportunities.
This compact STM-1 multiservice
CPE provides cost-effective next-
generation services to SME custo-
mers and offers a variety of aggregate
interfaces suitable for short-range
or long-range transmission. Its
standards-based approach ensures
rock-solid performance in enterprise
applications where reliability is crucial
for business-critical communications.
The 1643 AMS delivers cross-feature
availability and circuit-pack compat-
ibility with other Alcatel-Lucent
optical products, a very high mean
time between failures (MTBF) rate
and a very low failure rate. Using a
Tr a n s L A N Card to leverage existing
SDH investments, this multiservice
CPE is used for enterprise network
applications with high performance
and reliability requirements. It also
offers a flexible choice of optical and
tributary interfaces.
