Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend is a single-shelf network multiplexer designed primarily for access transport, business access, and regional interoffice applications transporting voice and data at the OC-3/OC-12/OC-48/OC-192 level via a UPSR, or 1+1 linear optical extension.
Alcatel-Lucent's rich history of SONET multiplexers provides the foundation for Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend. Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend builds on that tradition by providing the tools necessary for the new generation of access networks: greater capacity, increased network flexibility, diverse functionality, and reliable service.
Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend, a SONET line terminating network element, supports a wide array of wideband and broadband transport, including traditional SONET transport of DS1, E1, DS3, EC-1, TransMUX, OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, and OC-192 signals, as well as 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN, 10GE, DWDM rings, and FICON/ESCON/Fibre-channel SAN transport. The shelf can be equipped to serve many diverse network applications and supports a variety of operations interfaces for current and evolving network operations needs.
There are 9 circuit pack slots in each shelf, consisting of the following:
2 Main slots (M1, M2) for high-speed optical line interface units (OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, or OC-192)
2 multipurpose growth groups containing two slots each (D1/D2 and G1/G2) for either DS1, E1, DS3, EC-1, TransMUX, OC-3/12/48/192, 10/100BASE-T/X and 10/100BASE-T/ZX/LX/FX Private Line, 1000BASE-SX/LX/ZX, 10GE LAN, ESCON, FICON, Fibre-Channel service, and DWDM Mux/Demux
2 Function slots (A1/B1, A2/B2) that accommodate half-size circuit packs. These slots can contain both DS1/DS3 combination packs with 16 DS1 ports and 3 DS3 ports, and DS1 or DS3 packs. The DS1 ports are in virtual function group A and the 3 DS3 ports are in virtual function group B.
Important! The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend shelf uses the same SYSCTL (LNW2) card as Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX and Function groups D and G can accommodate Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX electrical, Ethernet, and SAN circuit packs.
Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend provides a VT1.5 and STS-1 cross-connect fabric. Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend's main switch fabric is contained in each of the high-speed (network-side interface) circuit packs, located in the MAIN slots. The MAIN slots house OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, and OC-192 high-speed interfaces. The LNW141 VLF Main circuit packs enable 0x1 equipage. In many cases, this doubles the overall capacity of the shelf.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend shelf has the following characteristics:
Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend is representative of ten years of Alcatel-Lucent's innovation and experience in network operations, control, and maintenance. Utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 Target Identifier (TID) Address Resolution Protocol (TARP), a consistent and standard form of address resolution is in place, enabling the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend network to be easily monitored and maintained.
Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend also supports standard interworking using the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) seven-layer protocol stack or IP over the DCC. The OSI seven-layer protocol stack refers to the OSI reference model, a logical framework for network operations standardized by the ISO. This provides for large networks up to 1000 NEs via level 1 area provisioning and level 2 routing.
Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend is designed for easy installation and operation. Centralized operation is supported by a full set of single-ended operations (SEO), control, and maintenance features. Integrated test capabilities and default provisioning simplifies installation.
Basic maintenance tasks can be performed using faceplate LED displays and controls, while a craft interface terminal (CIT) or a remote OS gives access to sophisticated maintenance, provisioning, and reporting features.
Built-in maintenance capabilities support both installation and system operation. Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend can be tested and installed without external test equipment.
