Issue 03 (2010-05-30)
1-5
CAUTION
Caution indicates a hazard that, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. If multiple transmit antennas are installed on a tower or backstay, keep away from the transmit directions of the antennas when you install or maintain an antenna locally.
CAUTION
Ensure that all personnel are beyond the transmit direction of a working antenna.
Forbidden Area
The following requirements should be met:
l
Before entering an area where the electromagnetic radiation is beyond the specified range, the associated personnel must shut down the electromagnetic radiator or stay at least 10 meters away from the electromagnetic radiator, if in the transmit direction. A physical barrier and an eye-catching warning flag should be available in each forbidden area.
Laser
CAUTION
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet directly with unaided eyes. Laser transceivers are used in the optical transmission system and associated test tools. Because the laser transmitted through the bare optical fiber produces a small beam of light, it has the very high power density and is invisible to human eyes. When a beam of light enters the eyes, the retina may be damaged. In normal cases, viewing an un-terminated fiber or a damaged fiber with the unaided eye at distances greater than 150 mm does not cause eye injury. Eye injury may occur, however, if an optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to view the bare fiber end. To avoid laser radiation, read the following guidelines:
l
All the operations should be performed by authorized personnel who have completed the approved training courses. Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or fibers. Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber connectors. Do not look into the end of an exposed fiber or an open connector when you are not sure whether the optical source is switched off.
l l l
1-6

l
Use an optical power meter to check and ensure that the optical source is switched off by measuring the optical power. Before opening the front door of an optical transmission equipment, ensure that you are not exposed to laser radiation. Do not use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass, or an eye loupe to view the optical connector or fiber that is transmitting optical signals.
Read the following instructions before handling fibers:

l l
Cutting and splicing fibers must be performed by the trained personnel only. Before cutting or splicing a fiber, ensure that the fiber is disconnected from the optical source. After disconnecting the fiber, connect the cover caps to the fiber connectors.
1.5 Working at Heights

CAUTION
When working at heights, be cautious to prevent objects from falling down. The requirements for working at heights are as follows:
l l
The personnel who work at heights must be trained. The operating machines and tools should be carried and handled safely to prevent them from falling down. Safety measures, such as wearing a helmet and a safety belt, should be taken. Wear cold-proof clothes when working at heights in cold areas. Check all lifting appliances thoroughly before starting the work, and ensure that they are intact.
l l l
Weight Lifting
CAUTION
Do not enter the areas under the jib arm and the goods in suspension when lifting weight.
l l l
Ensure that the operators have completed the related training and have been certified. Check the weight lifting tools and ensure that they are intact. Lift the weight only when the weight lifting tools are firmly fixed onto the weight-bearing object or the wall. Use a concise command to prevent any incorrect operation. Ensure that the angle between the two cables is less than or equal to 90 degrees during the lifting, as shown in Figure 1-2.

1.6 Mechanical Safety

Drilling Holes
CAUTION
Do not drill holes on the cabinet without prior permission. Improper drilling may cause damage to the internal cables and the EMC function of the cabinet. Metallic scraps produced by the drilling may fall into the cabinet and cause short circuits of the circuit boards.
l l
Before drilling a hole on the cabinet, remove the cables inside the cabinet. During the drilling, ensure that your eyes are protected properly. The flying metallic scraps may cause injury to your eyes. Before drilling a hole on the cabinet, wear the protection gloves. Take measures to prevent the metallic scraps from falling into the cabinet. After the drilling, clean up the metallic scraps.
l l
Sharp Objects
CAUTION
When handling the equipment by hands, wear the protection gloves to avoid injury by sharp objects.
Fans
l
When replacing components, ensure that no objects such as components, screws, and tools fall into a fan that is running, to prevent damage to the fan or equipment. When replacing the equipment close to a fan, do not put a finger or a board into a fan that is running before the fan is switched off and stops running, to prevent injury to your hands or damage to the equipment.
Handling Heavy Objects

When handling heavy objects, wear the protection gloves to prevent injury to your hands.
1-10
Issue 03 (2010-05-30)
CAUTION
l
When handling heavy objects, ensure that the weight bearing measures are taken to prevent you from being pressed or sprained. When taking the chassis out from the cabinet, draw attention to the equipment that is unstable or heavy on the cabinet, to prevent any pressing or smashing injury. When handling a chassis, generally, two persons rather than one person are required to handle a heavy chassis. When handling a chassis, keep your back straight and move gently to prevent you from being sprained. When moving or lifting a chassis, hold the handle or bottom of the chassis rather than the handle of a module (such as a power supply module, a fan module, or a board) that has been installed inside the chassis.
1.7 Other Precautions

Removing and Inserting Boards
CAUTION

4.1 Powering On the Equipment

By checking the process of powering on equipment, you can check whether the hardware system of the equipment and the power system are working properly.
Prerequisite
l l
The hardware installation must be complete and pass the installation check. The power supply must be available and the fuse capacity must meet the requirement of the equipment. The power supply (such as the power box of the cabinet) must be turned off.
Tools, Equipment, and Materials

Multimeter
Context
In the case of the OptiX RTN 620, the recommended fuse capacities are listed in Table 4-1. Table 4-1 Fuse current Chassis OptiX RTN 620 Fuse Current 12A
Precautions
CAUTION
l l
Check weather the power supply for the equipment is DC power supply. If the equipment houses PIU boards that are configured with 1+1 protection, the two PIU boards must be provided with the input power at the same nominal voltage. The SYS-PWR switch of the PXC board and the ODU-PWR switch of the IF board are equipped with locking devices. Thus, you must gently pull out the switches to turn them. If the switch points to "O", it indicates that the switch is off. If the switch points to "I", it indicates that that switch is on. If the output voltage of the power supply does not meet the test requirements, reconstruct the power supply and do not power on the cabinet.
Procedure
Step 1 Set the SYS-PWR switch of the PXC to "O". Step 2 Set the ODU-PWR switch of the IF board to "O".
Step 3 Use the multimeter to test the voltage and polarization of the input power at the access point (such as the output terminal of the power box on the cabinet).
l
When the nominal voltage of the input power is -48 V, the tested voltage should be between -38.4 V and -57.6 V. When the nominal voltage of the input power is -60 V, the tested voltage should be between -48 V and -72 V.
WARNING
If the measured voltage is not within the range, you must troubleshoot the power equipment before proceeding to the next step. The voltage that is not within the range can cause damage to the equipment or even personal injury. Step 4 Check and ensure that the power cables are connected correctly, and turn on the power switch of the IDU. Step 5 Set the SYS-PWR switch of the PXC board to "I". Check the indicators of the boards on the IDU. The indicators conform to the following description: 1. As shown in Figure 4-1, the PWR indicator of the PXC board and the FAN indicator of the fan board are green. If the indicators are not green, handle the fault based on Table 4-2.

4.2.1 Connecting the Web LCT to the IDU

Connecting the Web LCT to the IDU properly is a prerequisite for future data configuration and for other commissioning items.
Prerequisite
The equipment must be powered on.

Laptop on which the LCT is installed
Procedure
Step 1 Start the laptop computer, and log in to the operating system. Step 2 Set the IP address information about this computer. The IP address should comply with the following conditions:
l
IP address: The IP address should be in the same network segment (129.9.0.0 by default) as the IP address of the NE. The IP address of the computer and the IP address of the NE cannot be the same. Subnet mask: The subnet mask of the computer is the same as the subnet mask of the NE (the default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0). Default gateway: null
Step 3 Use a network cable to connect the Ethernet port of the laptop to the port marked "ETH" on the SCC. The ETH interface supports the MDI/MDI-X autosensing. Hence, you can use the straightthrough cable or crossover cable to connect to it. In this case, the green indicators of the ETH interface and network interface of the laptop computer are lit on. In addition, if you set the prompt for the local area connection in the operating system of the laptop computer, a prompt is displayed indicating that the network is connected. If the operating system prompts an IP address conflict, set the IP address again. Step 4 Optional: Set the Internet Explorer (IE) as the default browser. Step 5 Optional: Set the priority level of the IE to middle or below. Step 6 Optional: Disable the function that blocks the popup window.

4.2.2 Creating NEs by Using the Search Method

The Web LCT can find all NEs that communicate with a specific gateway NE according to the IP address of the gateway NE or the IP address range of the gateway NE. In addition, the Web LCT can create the NEs in batches. Compared with the method of manually creating NEs, this method is quicker and more reliable.
Prerequisite
The NEs must gain the access to the computer where the Web LCT software is installed.

Web LCT
Context
You can create an NE by searching for the NE and then adding the NE on the Web LCT. In addition, you can create an NE by adding the NE manually. Generally, the NE ID is not known during initial NE configuration. Therefore, the searching method is used to create an NE in most cases.
Procedure
Step 1 In NE List, click NE Search. Then, the Search NE dialog box is displayed. Step 2 Optional: Set Domain to 129.9.255.255, and click Search.
NOTE
During initial configuration, Domain is 129.9.255.255 by default. After the gateway NE IP address of the searched NE is changed, you need to change the value of Domain.

If the logical board corresponding to a physical board is not added in the slot layout, add the logical board in the slot layout. If the physical board is inconsistent with the logical board in the slot layout, delete the inconsistent logical board and add the correct logical board.
Prerequisite
l l
The NE user must have the authority of Operation Level or higher. All the boards must be installed correctly.

Web LCT
Context
The NE software manages a physical board by considering the physical board as one or more logical boards. In the OptiX RTN 620:

l
An SCC physical board is considered as a logical SCC and a logical EOW board. The slot number of the logical SCC board is 2, and the slot number of the logical EOW is 21. Other physical boards of the IDU are considered as the logical boards with the same names. The slot numbers of the logical boards are the same as the slot numbers of the corresponding physical boards.
An ODU is considered as an ODU logical board. The ODU logical slot number is 10 plus the slot number of the IF board connected to the ODU. The STAT indicator on the physical IDU board will be lit only if the logical IDU board matches with the physical IDU board.
Procedure
Step 1 Click the Slot Layout tab and click Add Logical Boards. Based on the slot layout, the NE automatically configures the logical boards that are required but still not be configured for certain physical boards. Step 2 Optional: Right-click the slots in which boards are to be added, and select Add xxx. "xxx" refers to the boards to be added.

Table 4-8 Parameters Parameter Working Mode Value Range HSB FD SD
l
Default Value HSB
Description
l
In 1+1 HSB protection mode, the system provides a 1+1 hot standby configuration for the IF board and ODU at both ends of each hop of a radio link to provide protection. In 1+1 FD protection mode, the system uses two channels that have a frequency spacing between them, to transmit and receive the same signal. The remote end selects signals from the two received signals. With the 1+1 FD protection, the impact of the fading on signal transmission is reduced. In 1+1 SD protection mode, the system uses two antennas that have a space distance between them, to receive the same signal. The equipment selects signals from the two received signals. With the 1+1 SD protection, the impact of the fading on signal transmission is reduced. The 1+1 FD protection mode and 1+1 SD protection mode are compatible with the 1+1 HSB switching function. Set this parameter according to the service planning information. When this parameter is set to Revertive, the NE that is in the switching state releases the switching and enables the former working channel to return to the normal state some time after the former working channel is restored to normal. When this parameter is set to NonRevertive, the NE that is in the switching state keeps the current state unchanged unless another switching occurs even though the former working channel is restored to normal. It is recommended that this parameter takes the default value.

Description
l
This parameter is valid only when Revertive Mode is set to Revertive. When the time after the former working channel is restored to normal reaches the set wait-to-restore (WTR) time, a revertive switching occurs. It is recommended that this parameter takes the default value. When both the main IF board and the standby IF board at the sink end report service alarms, they send the alarms to the source end by using the MWRDI overhead in the microwave frame. When this parameter at the source end is set to Enable and the reverse switching conditions are met, the IF 1+1 protection switching occurs at the source end. This parameter is valid only when Working Mode is set to HSB or SD. Generally, if Working Mode is set to HSB, it is recommended that you set this parameter to Disabled; if Working Mode is set to SD, it is recommended that you set this parameter to Enabled. In 1+1 FD/SD mode, two IF boards must be installed as a pair in slots 5 and 7 (the IF board in slot 5 is recommended to be the main board) or in slots 6 and 8 (the IF board in slot 6 is recommended to be the main board). In 1+1 HSB mode, the IF boards can be installed in slots 5-8. It is recommended that you install two IF boards in a pair in slots 5 and 7 (the IF board in slot 5 is the main board) or in slots 6 and 8 (the IF board in slot 6 is the main board).

Precautions
l
In 1+1 HSB/SD protection mode, one protection group corresponds to one radio link. In this case, you need configure only the IF/ODU information of the main equipment. In 1+1 FD protection mode, one protection group corresponds to one radio link. In this case, you need configure the IF/ODU information of the main equipment and the ODU information of the standby equipment. In the case of XPIC radio links, one XPIC workgroup corresponds to two radio links. The IF/ODU information of the radio links must be configured in the XPIC workgroup. In the case of N+1 protection mode, one N+1 protection group corresponds to N+1 radio links and the IF/ODU information of the N+1 radio links must be set separately.
Procedure
Step 1 In the NE Explorer, select the NE from the Object Tree and then choose Configuration > Link Configuration from the Function Tree. Step 2 Click the IF/ODU Configuration tab. Step 3 Click an IF board icon or ODU icon. Then, the system displays the IF/ODU information of the radio link to which the IF board or ODU to which the IF board is connected belongs.

4.2.11 Configuring the Orderwire

The orderwire for an NE provides a dedicated communication channel that the network maintenance personnel can use.
Prerequisite

Web LCT
Context
The communication channel must be available for activating the orderwire.
l
When an SDH optical/electrical line exists between two NEs, the overhead byte E1 or E2 in the SDH frames can be used as the orderwire communication channel. When a radio link exists between two NEs, a fixed overhead byte in the radio frames can be used as the orderwire communication channel. When no SDH optical/electrical line and microwave link exists between two NEs, connect the external clock ports or synchronous data ports of the two NEs to provide the orderwire communication channel.
The OptiX RTN 620 supports the group call function of the orderwire. When an OptiX RTN 620 dials the orderwire group call number 888, the orderwire phones of all the OptiX RTN 620s in the orderwire subnet ring. When an OptiX RTN 620 answers the phone call, the other OptiX RTN 620s stop ringing, that is, the group call becomes a point-to-point call between two NEs.

Parameter Orderwire port
Value Range Line ports external clock port F1 port
Default Value -
Description
l
This parameter indicates the ports that can transmit the orderwire information. The OptiX RTN 620 does not support conference calls and thus allows the lines that transmit the orderwire information to form a loop. If the radio link between two nodes is configured with 1+1 protection, only the line port of the main IF board need to be used as the orderwire port. If multiple links (for example, configured with XPIC or N+1 protection) exist between two nodes, the line ports corresponding to all the links need to be used as the orderwire ports. When orderwire communication is implemented by interconnecting the two NEs through the external clock ports, the external clock ports need to be used as the orderwire ports. When orderwire communication is implemented by interconnecting the two NEs through the synchronous data ports, the F1 port need to be used as the orderwire port. This parameter indicates the overhead byte that is used to transmit the orderwire information. Regardless the parameter value, the radio link uses a fixed self-defined overhead byte to transmit the orderwire information. Hence, this parameter should be set according to the occupied SDH overhead bytes in the ordinary SDH.

4.5 Aligning Antennas

Aligning antennas is the most important activity in site commissioning, and its result has a direct impact on the performance of radio links. 4.5.1 Main Lobe and Side Lobe Before you align the antennas, you should be familiar with the related knowledge of the main lobe and side lobe. 4.5.2 Aligning Single-Polarized Antennas When you align single-polarized antennas, you need to align the main lobes of the antennas by adjusting the azimuth and elevation of the antennas at both ends. 4.5.3 Aligning Dual-Polarized Antennas When you align dual-polarized antennas, you need to align the main lobe of the antenna signals by adjusting the azimuth and elevation of the antennas at both ends. You also need to adjust the feed booms of the antennas so that the cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) meets the specified requirements.
4.5.1 Main Lobe and Side Lobe

Before you align the antennas, you should be familiar with the related knowledge of the main lobe and side lobe.
Definitions of the Main Lobe and Side Lobe

The electric field strength of the radiated power of the antenna varies in space. The differences of the power distribution can be shown in an azimuth diagram. Generally, there are the horizontal azimuth diagram for the horizontal section and the vertical azimuth diagram for the vertical section. Figure 4-7 is a vertical azimuth diagram. There are many lobes in this figure. The lobe with the strongest radiated power is the main lobe. The other lobes are side lobes wherein the first side lobe can be used for aligning the antenna. Figure 4-7 Main lobe and side lobe
Main lobe First side lobe Second side lobe
Locating the Main Lobe

Antenna alignment involves making the main lobe of the local antenna aligned with the main lobe of the opposite antenna. The purpose is to make the received signal strength of the opposite antenna reach the maximum value. The main lobe width of the microwave antenna is narrow, that is, between 0.6 and 3.7 generally. For instance, in the case of a 1.2 m antenna at the working frequency of 23 GHz, the azimuth is only 0.9 when the signal level drops from the signal peak to zero. Once a signal is detected, very small alignment adjustments are required to locate the main lobe. Antenna movement across the main lobe results in a rapid rise and fall of signal level. Whether the main lobe is aligned properly can be verified by comparing the received signal peaks. Typically, the main lobe signal peak is 20-25 dB higher than the first side lobe signal peak. Figure 4-8 shows the head-on view of a free-space model for radio propagation with concentric rings of side lobe peaks and troughs radiating outward from the main lobe.

Tracking Path
Side lobe signal readings can be mistaken for main lobe readings when signals are tracked on different elevation (or azimuth). Figure 4-9 shows a horizontal radio propagation model of the antenna, and signal levels at three different elevation positions (1-7 represent the measured signal level values of the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) port of the ODU.)

Line AA' represents that the main lobe of the antenna is almost aligned properly. The main lobe is at point 2, and the first side lobes are at points 1 and 3. Slightly adjust the azimuth of the antenna at point 2 until the peak signal appears. Line BB' represents that the elevation of the antenna slightly deviates from the main lobe. The signal peaks appear at points 4 and 5. The signal peak at point 4 is higher than the signal peak at point 5 because of the antenna characteristics. As a result, point 4 may be mistaken for the peak point of the main lobe signal. The correct method is to set the azimuth of the antenna to the middle position between the two signal peaks. Then, adjust the elevation of the antenna until the three signal peaks of line AA' appear. Slightly adjust the elevation and azimuth of the antenna at point 2 until the peak signal appears. Line CC' represents that the elevation of the antenna completely deviates from the main lobe and is almost aligned with the first side lobe. The signal peak of the first side lobe at point 6 and the signal peak of the first side lobe at point 7 appear as one signal peak. As a result, points 6 and 7 may be mistaken for the peak point of the main lobe signal. The correct method is to set the azimuth of the antenna to the middle of points 6 and 7. Then, adjust the elevation of the antenna until the three signal peaks of line AA' appear. Slightly adjust the elevation and azimuth of the antenna at point 2 until the peak signal appears.
When the side lobe peak at one side is higher than the side lobe peak at the other side, as shown in Figure 4-10, a common error is to move the antenna left to right along line DD' or top to bottom along line EE' so that the three signal peaks of line AA' can appear. As a result, point 1 may be mistaken for the peak point of the main lobe signal. The correct method is to adjust the elevation in the middle of points 1 and 2 or the azimuth in the middle of points 1 and 3. Several adjustments are required so that the three signal peaks of line AA' can appear. Slightly adjust the elevation and azimuth of the antenna at point 2 as shown in Figure 4-9 until the peak signal appears. Figure 4-10 Aligning the antenna with the first side lobe

At both ends, power on the main ODUs, power off the standby ODUs, and align the main antennas. At both ends, power off the main ODUs, power on the standby ODUs, and align the diversity antennas.
CAUTION
You can adjust the azimuth and elevation of antennas by adjusting the related nuts or screws. For details, see the related installation guide.
Procedure
Step 1 Determine the azimuth of an antenna according to the installation position and height of the antenna. Then, adjust the elevation of the antenna to the horizontal position. Step 2 Connect a multimeter to the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) port on the ODU at the local end and test the voltage value VBNC.

TIP
It is recommended that you make the test line terminated with a BNC connector at one end in advance because it is more convenient to test the voltage value VBNC.

Step 3 Adjust the azimuth and elevation of an antenna as follows: 1. 2. Retain the position of the antenna at the remote end. Use the multimeter to measure VBNC. At the local end, rotate the antenna widely in the horizontal direction. When you rotate the antenna, the tested signal peaks may be as follows:
l
Three signal peaks are tracked, for example, line AA' in Figure 4-9. In this case, adjust the azimuth of the antenna to the peak position at point 2 as shown in Figure 4-9. Two signal peaks are tracked, for example, line BB' in Figure 4-9. In this case, adjust the azimuth of the antenna to the middle of points 4 and 5 as shown in Figure 4-9. Then, adjust the elevation of the antenna so that the three signal peaks in the case of line AA' can appear. Adjust the antenna to the peak position at point 2 as shown in Figure 4-9. One signal peak is tracked, for example, line CC' in Figure 4-9. In this case, adjust the azimuth of the antenna to the middle of points 6 and 7 as shown in Figure 4-9. Then, adjust the elevation of the antenna so that the three signal peaks in the case of line AA' can appear. Adjust the antenna to the peak position at point 2 as shown in Figure 4-9.

Slightly adjust the elevation and azimuth at point 2 as shown in Figure 4-9 until VBNC reaches the peak within the tracked range. Adjust the antenna until VBNC reaches the peak value. Then, fix the antenna at the local end.
Issue 03 (2010-05-30)

NOTE
When you tighten the antenna, ensure that VBNC remains the peak value.
Step 4 Repeat Step 2 to Step 3 to adjust the antenna at the remote end. When VBNC reaches the peak value, tighten the antenna at the remote end. Step 5 Repeat Step 2 to Step 4 for two to four times. When VBNC at the local end and VBNC at the remote end reach the peak value, tighten the antennas at both ends Step 6 Use the multimeter to test VBNC at both ends. Obtain current RSL by referring to the relation curve between VBNC of ODUs and RSLs at both ends.
NOTE
The curve diagram of VBNC and RSL is delivered in the carton of the ODU.
Actual RSL must be the same as planned by the network planning department.
NOTE

5.1 Configuring the Network-Wide Service Data

After the site commissioning is performed for each hop of radio links, the ECC communication between NEs is normal. In this case, an NE can be accessed by using the NMS, and the networkwide service data can be configured. 5.1.1 Creating NEs by Using the Search Method The Web LCT can find all NEs that communicate with a specific gateway NE according to the IP address of the gateway NE or the IP address range of the gateway NE. In addition, the Web LCT can create the NEs in batches. Compared with the method of manually creating NEs, this method is quicker and more reliable. 5.1.2 Logging In to an NE After an NE is created, you need to log in to the NE before managing the NE. 5.1.3 Changing NE IDs This section describes how to change NE IDs according to the engineering plan to ensure that each NE ID is unique. The modification does not affect services. 5.1.4 Changing NE Names To accurately identify an NE in the Main Topology, you need to name the NE according to the geographical location or the equipment connected to the NE. 5.1.5 Setting NE Communication Parameters The communication parameters of an NE include the IP address and extended ID of the NE, the gateway IP address, NSAP address, and the subnet mask. 5.1.6 Configuring Logical Boards If the logical board corresponding to a physical board is not added in the slot layout, add the logical board in the slot layout. If the physical board is inconsistent with the logical board in the slot layout, delete the inconsistent logical board and add the correct logical board. 5.1.7 Creating an IF 1+1 Protection Group If the radio link adopts 1+1 HSB/FD/SD protection, you need to create the corresponding IF 1 +1 protection group. 5.1.8 Configuring the IF/ODU Information of a Radio Link By configuring the IF/ODU information of a radio link, you can configure the IF/ODU information that is frequently used by the radio link. 5.1.9 Creating Cross-Connections of Point-to-Point Services In a cross-connection of point-to-point services, one service source corresponds to one service sink. 5.1.10 Configuring Clock Sources This section describes how to configure clock sources according to the planned clock synchronization scheme so that all the NEs on the network trace the same clock. 5.1.11 Configuring the Orderwire The orderwire for an NE provides a dedicated communication channel that the network maintenance personnel can use.
5.1.1 Creating NEs by Using the Search Method

The Web LCT can find all NEs that communicate with a specific gateway NE according to the IP address of the gateway NE or the IP address range of the gateway NE. In addition, the Web

Web LCT
Context
The NE software manages a physical board by considering the physical board as one or more logical boards. In the OptiX RTN 620:
l
An SCC physical board is considered as a logical SCC and a logical EOW board. The slot number of the logical SCC board is 2, and the slot number of the logical EOW is 21. Other physical boards of the IDU are considered as the logical boards with the same names. The slot numbers of the logical boards are the same as the slot numbers of the corresponding physical boards.
An ODU is considered as an ODU logical board. The ODU logical slot number is 10 plus the slot number of the IF board connected to the ODU. The STAT indicator on the physical IDU board will be lit only if the logical IDU board matches with the physical IDU board.
Procedure
Step 1 Click the Slot Layout tab and click Add Logical Boards. Based on the slot layout, the NE automatically configures the logical boards that are required but still not be configured for certain physical boards. Step 2 Optional: Right-click the slots in which boards are to be added, and select Add xxx. "xxx" refers to the boards to be added.
NOTE
Add the PXC board before you add the IF boards and service boards. Manually adding the logical boards applies to the cases when relevant data need to be configured before the physical boards are installed.
Step 3 Optional: Right-click the slots in which boards are to be deleted, and select Delete. Delete the services, clock, orderwire and protections on the boards before you delete the boards. ----End

Example
Table 5-4 Parameters Parameter Working Mode Value Range HSB FD SD
l
Default Value HSB
Description
l
In 1+1 HSB protection mode, the system provides a 1+1 hot standby configuration for the IF board and ODU at both ends of each hop of a radio link to provide protection. In 1+1 FD protection mode, the system uses two channels that have a frequency spacing between them, to transmit and receive the same signal. The remote end selects signals from the two received signals. With the 1+1 FD protection, the impact of the fading on signal transmission is reduced. In 1+1 SD protection mode, the system uses two antennas that have a space distance between them, to receive the same signal. The equipment selects signals from the two received signals. With the 1+1 SD protection, the impact of the fading on signal transmission is reduced. The 1+1 FD protection mode and 1+1 SD protection mode are compatible with the 1+1 HSB switching function. Set this parameter according to the service planning information. When this parameter is set to Revertive, the NE that is in the switching state releases the switching and enables the former working channel to return to the normal state some time after the former working channel is restored to normal. When this parameter is set to NonRevertive, the NE that is in the switching state keeps the current state unchanged unless another switching occurs even though the former working channel is restored to normal. It is recommended that this parameter takes the default value.

Issue 03 (2010-05-30)
Parameter WTR Time (s)
Default Value 600
Description
l
This parameter is valid only when Revertive Mode is set to Revertive. When the time after the former working channel is restored to normal reaches the set wait-to-restore (WTR) time, a revertive switching occurs. It is recommended that this parameter takes the default value. When both the main IF board and the standby IF board at the sink end report service alarms, they send the alarms to the source end by using the MWRDI overhead in the microwave frame. When this parameter at the source end is set to Enable and the reverse switching conditions are met, the IF 1+1 protection switching occurs at the source end. This parameter is valid only when Working Mode is set to HSB or SD. Generally, if Working Mode is set to HSB, it is recommended that you set this parameter to Disabled; if Working Mode is set to SD, it is recommended that you set this parameter to Enabled. In 1+1 FD/SD mode, two IF boards must be installed as a pair in slots 5 and 7 (the IF board in slot 5 is recommended to be the main board) or in slots 6 and 8 (the IF board in slot 6 is recommended to be the main board). In 1+1 HSB mode, the IF boards can be installed in slots 5-8. It is recommended that you install two IF boards in a pair in slots 5 and 7 (the IF board in slot 5 is the main board) or in slots 6 and 8 (the IF board in slot 6 is the main board).

Precautions
l
In 1+1 HSB/SD protection mode, one protection group corresponds to one radio link. In this case, you need configure only the IF/ODU information of the main equipment. In 1+1 FD protection mode, one protection group corresponds to one radio link. In this case, you need configure the IF/ODU information of the main equipment and the ODU information of the standby equipment. In the case of XPIC radio links, one XPIC workgroup corresponds to two radio links. The IF/ODU information of the radio links must be configured in the XPIC workgroup. In the case of N+1 protection mode, one N+1 protection group corresponds to N+1 radio links and the IF/ODU information of the N+1 radio links must be set separately.
Procedure
Step 1 In the NE Explorer, select the NE from the Object Tree and then choose Configuration > Link Configuration from the Function Tree. Step 2 Click the IF/ODU Configuration tab. Step 3 Click an IF board icon or ODU icon. Then, the system displays the IF/ODU information of the radio link to which the IF board or ODU to which the IF board is connected belongs.

5.1.9 Creating Cross-Connections of Point-to-Point Services

In a cross-connection of point-to-point services, one service source corresponds to one service sink.
Prerequisite
l l
The NE user must have the authority of Operation Level or higher. The boards where the source and the sink are located must be configured.

Web LCT
Procedure
Step 1 In the NE Explorer, select the NE from the Object Tree and then choose Configuration > CrossConnection Configuration from the Function Tree. Step 2 Optional: Click Scheme to change the VC-12 timeslot numbering policy used by the crossconnection.
Step 3 Click New. Then, the Create SDH Service dialog box is displayed. Step 4 Configure the cross-connections of the service.
Step 5 Click OK.

NOTE
l l
When you create a cross-connection whose source or sink is the timeslots of an IF board, the creation may fail due to the limited number of licenses. The calculation of the required number of licenses is based on the total number of service timeslots of all the IF boards that are involved in cross-connections. In the case of the cross-connections of VC-3 or VC-4 services, the VC-3 or VC-4 services need to be converted into E1 services that have the same capacity. For example, the cross-connections of one E3 service from a PL3 board to an IF board require the number of licenses that are used for 21xE1. One VC-3 pass-through service between two IF boards requires the number of licenses that are used for 42xE1. The 8xE1 SNCP services from two IF boards to one PO1 board require the number of licenses that are used for 16xE1.

External clock source 1 indicates the external clock source from the interface on the PXC board in slot 1. External clock source 2 indicates the external clock source from the interface on the PXC board in slot 3. IFH2-1(SDH) indicates the microwave clock source. IFH2-2(ETH) indicates the clock source of the synchronous Ethernet. The internal clock source is always of the lowest priority and indicates that the NE works in the free-run mode. Determine the clock sources and the corresponding clock source priority levels according to the clock synchronization scheme. This parameter specifies the type of the external clock source signal. Set this parameter depending on the external clock signal. The external clock signal is generally a 2 Mbit/s signal. This parameter is valid only when External Clock Source Mode is set to 2Mbit/s. This parameter indicates which bit of the TS0 in odd frames of the external clock signal is used to transmit the SSM. This parameter needs to be set only when the SSM or extended SSM is enabled. The external clock sources generally transmit the SSM over the SA4.

5.1.11 Configuring the Orderwire

The orderwire for an NE provides a dedicated communication channel that the network maintenance personnel can use.
Prerequisite
5-24
Issue 03 (2010-05-30)

Web LCT
Context
The communication channel must be available for activating the orderwire.
l
When an SDH optical/electrical line exists between two NEs, the overhead byte E1 or E2 in the SDH frames can be used as the orderwire communication channel. When a radio link exists between two NEs, a fixed overhead byte in the radio frames can be used as the orderwire communication channel. When no SDH optical/electrical line and microwave link exists between two NEs, connect the external clock ports or synchronous data ports of the two NEs to provide the orderwire communication channel.
The OptiX RTN 620 supports the group call function of the orderwire. When an OptiX RTN 620 dials the orderwire group call number 888, the orderwire phones of all the OptiX RTN 620s in the orderwire subnet ring. When an OptiX RTN 620 answers the phone call, the other OptiX RTN 620s stop ringing, that is, the group call becomes a point-to-point call between two NEs.
Procedure
Step 1 Select the NE from the Object Tree in the NE Explorer. Choose Configuration > Orderwire from the Function Tree. Step 2 Click the General tab. Step 3 Configure the orderwire information.

Table 5-7 Parameters Parameter Call Waiting Time (s) Value Range 1 to 9 Default Value 9 Description
l
This parameter indicates the waiting time after the local station dials the number. If the calling station does not receive the response message from the called station within the call waiting time, it automatically removes the communication connection. If less than 30 nodes exist in the orderwire subnet, it is recommended that you set this parameter to 5s. If more than 30 nodes exist in the orderwire subnet, it is recommended that you set this parameter to 9s. Set the same call waiting time for all the NEs. This parameter indicates the orderwire phone number of the local station. The length of the orderwire phone number of each NE should be the same. It is recommended that the phone number consists of three numerics. The orderwire phone number of each NE should be unique. It is recommended that the phone numbers are allocated from 101 for the NEs according to the NE IDs. The orderwire phone number cannot be set to the group call number 888 and cannot start with 888.

Parameter Orderwire port
Value Range Line ports external clock port F1 port
Default Value -
Description
l
This parameter indicates the ports that can transmit the orderwire information. The OptiX RTN 620 does not support conference calls and thus allows the lines that transmit the orderwire information to form a loop. If the radio link between two nodes is configured with 1+1 protection, only the line port of the main IF board need to be used as the orderwire port. If multiple links (for example, configured with XPIC or N+1 protection) exist between two nodes, the line ports corresponding to all the links need to be used as the orderwire ports. When orderwire communication is implemented by interconnecting the two NEs through the external clock ports, the external clock ports need to be used as the orderwire ports. When orderwire communication is implemented by interconnecting the two NEs through the synchronous data ports, the F1 port need to be used as the orderwire port. This parameter indicates the overhead byte that is used to transmit the orderwire information. Regardless the parameter value, the radio link uses a fixed self-defined overhead byte to transmit the orderwire information. Hence, this parameter should be set according to the occupied SDH overhead bytes in the ordinary SDH.

7.4 Configuration Process

This topic describes the procedure of data configuration.
Precautions
If operations including changing the ID of an NE, modifying the parameters of NE communication, and configuring logical boards are already performed, start site commissioning from Step 6.
Procedure
Step 1 See Creating NEs by Using the Search Method and create the NEs. The parameters are set as follows. Parameter Network Segment Value 129.9.255.255
NOTE
In this example, the following assumptions are made: the IP address of the gateway NE is never changed and the specific IP address is unknown. Therefore, the network segment 129.9.255.255 is used as the search domain to search for NEs. If the IP address of the gateway NE is known, it is recommended that you set the IP address of the gateway NE as the search domain.

1+1 protection An architecture that has one normal traffic signal, one working SNC/trail, one protection SNC/trail and a permanent bridge. At the source end, the normal traffic signal is permanently bridged to both the working and protection SNC/trail. At the sink end, the normal traffic signal is selected from the better of the two SNCs/trails. Due to the permanent bridging, the 1+1 architecture does not allow an extra unprotected traffic signal to be provided. The standard electronics industries association (EIA) rack unit (44 mm/1.75 in.) 802.1Q in 802.1Q (QinQ) is a VLAN feature that allows the equipment to add a VLAN tag to a tagged frame.The implementation of QinQ is to add a public VLAN tag to a frame with a private VLAN tag, making the frame encapsulated with two layers of VLAN tags. The frame is forwarded over the service provider's backbone network based on the public VLAN tag. By this, a layer 2 VPN tunnel is provided to customers.The QinQ feature enables the transmission of the private VLANs to the peer end transparently.

See Access Control List A technology that is used to automatically adjust the modulation mode according to the channel quality. When the channel quality is favorable, the equipment adopts a highefficiency modulation mode to improve the transmission efficiency and the spectrum utilization of the system. When the channel quality is degraded, the equipment adopts the low-efficiency modulation mode to improve the anti-interference capability of the link that carries high-priority services.

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is an Internet Protocol used to map IP addresses to MAC addresses. It allows hosts and routers to determine the link layer addresses through ARP requests and ARP responses. The address resolution is a process in which the host converts the target IP address into a target MAC address before transmitting a frame. The basic function of the ARP is to query the MAC address of the target equipment through its IP address.

See Bridge Protocol Data Unit The data messages that are exchanged across the switches within an extended LAN that uses a spanning tree protocol (STP) topology. BPDU packets contain information on ports, addresses, priorities and costs and ensure that the data ends up where it was intended to go. BPDU messages are exchanged across bridges to detect loops in a network topology. The loops are then removed by shutting down selected bridges interfaces and placing redundant switch ports in a backup, or blocked, state. A means of delivering information to all members in a network. The broadcast range is determined by the broadcast address.

Connectivity Check
Ethernet CFM can detect the connectivity between MEPs. The detection is achieved by each MEP transmitting a Continuity Check Message (CCM) periodically. This detection is called CC detection. constant bit rate. A kind of service categories defined by the ATM forum. CBR transfers cells based on the constant bandwidth. It is applicable to service connections that depend on precise clocking to ensure undistorted transmission. An extension of shortest path algorithms like OSPF and IS-IS. The path computed using CSPF is a shortest path fulfilling set of constrains. It simply means that it runs shortest path algorithm after pruning those links that violate a given set of constraints. A constraint could be minimum bandwidth required per link (also know as bandwidth guaranteed constraint), end-to-end delay, maximum number of link traversed etc. CSPF is widely used in MPLS Traffic Engineering. The routing using CSPF is known as Constraint Based Routing (CBR). An alternative to RSVP (Resource ReSerVation Protocol) in MPLS (MultiProtocol Label Switching) networks. RSVP, which works at the IP (Internet Protocol) level, uses IP or UDP datagrams to communicate between LSR (Label Switched Routing) peers. RSVP does not require the maintenance of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) sessions, although RSVP must assume responsibility for error control. CR-LDP is designed to facilitate the routing of LSPs (Label Switched Paths) through TCP sessions between LSR peers through the communication of label distribution messages during the session.

See Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing A procedure used in checking for errors in data transmission. CRC error checking uses a complex calculation to generate a number based on the data transmitted. The sending device performs the calculation before transmission and includes it in the packet that it sends to the receiving device. The receiving device repeats the same calculation after transmission. If both devices obtain the same result, it is assumed that the transmission was error free. The procedure is known as a redundancy check because each transmission includes not only data but extra (redundant) error-checking values.

Media Access Control
A protocol at the media access control sublayer. The protocol is at the lower part of the data link layer in the OSI model and is mainly responsible for controlling and connecting the physical media at the physical layer. When transmitting data, the MAC protocol checks whether to be able to transmit data. If the data can be transmitted, certain control information is added to the data, and then the data and the control information are transmitted in a specified format to the physical layer. When receiving data, the MAC protocol checks whether the information is correct and whether the data is transmitted correctly. If the information is correct and the data is transmitted correctly, the control information is removed from the data and then the data is transmitted to the LLC layer. A general reference to the low-level hardware protocols used to access a particular network. The term MAC address is often used as a synonym for physical addresses. The electrical and mechanical interface between the equipment and the media transmission.

See Maintenance Point Maintenance Point Identification See Multi-Protocol Label Switch The MPLS L2VPN provides the Layer 2 VPN service based on an MPLS network.In this case, on a uniform MPLS network, the carrier is able to provide Layer 2 VPNs of different media types, such as ATM, FR, VLAN, Ethernet, and PPP. The MPLS OAM provides continuity check for a single LSP, and provides a set of fault detection tools and fault correct mechanisms for MPLS networks. The MPLS OAM and relevant protection switching components implement the detection function for the CRLSP forwarding plane, and perform the protection switching in 50 ms after a fault occurs. In this way, the impact of a fault can be lowered to the minimum. Multiprotocol Label Switching Traffic Engineering In the case of reroute deployment, or when traffic needs to be transported through multiple trails, multiple LSP tunnels might be used. In traffic engineering, such a group of LSP tunnels are referred to as TE tunnels. An LSP tunnel of this kind has two identifiers. One is the Tunnel ID carried by the SENDER object, and is used to uniquely define the TE tunnel. The other is the LSP ID carried by the SENDER_TEMPLATE or FILTER_SPEC object.

Protocol Independent A protocol for efficiently routing to multicast groups that may span wide-area (and interMulticast-Sparse Mode domain) internets. This protocol is named protocol independent because it is not dependent on any particular unicast routing protocol for topology discovery, and sparsemode because it is suitable for groups where a very low percentage of the nodes (and their routers) will subscribe to the multicast session. Unlike earlier dense-mode multicast routing protocols such as DVMRP and PIM-DM which flooded packets everywhere and then pruned off branches where there were no receivers, PIM-SM explicitly constructs a tree from each sender to the receivers in the multicast group. Multicast packets from the sender then follow this tree. Provider Edge A device that is located in the backbone network of the MPLS VPN structure. A PE is responsible for VPN user management, establishment of LSPs between PEs, and exchange of routing information between sites of the same VPN. During the process, a PE performs the mapping and forwarding of packets between the private network and the public channel. A PE can be a UPE, an SPE, or an NPE. An emulated connection between two PEs for transmitting frames. The PW is established and maintained by PEs through signaling protocols.

See Routing Information Protocol See remote network monitoring See Radio Network Controller An alarm directly caused by anomaly events or faults in the network. Some lower-level alarms always accompany a root alarm. A route is the path that network traffic takes from its source to its destination. In a TCP/ IP network, each IP packet is routed independently. Routes can change dynamically. Routing Information Protocol: A simple routing protocol that is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. It determines a route based on the smallest hop count between source and destination. RIP is a distance vector protocol that routinely broadcasts routing information to its neighboring routers and is known to waste bandwidth. A table that stores and updates the locations (addresses) of network devices. Routers regularly share routing table information to be up to date. A router relies on the destination address and on the information in the table that gives the possible routes--in hops or in number of jumps--between itself, intervening routers, and the destination.

Synchronous Digital Hierarchy SDH is a transmission scheme that follows ITU-T G.707, G.708, and G.709. It defines the transmission features of digital signals such as frame structure, multiplexing mode, transmission rate level, and interface code. SDH is an important part of ISDN and BISDN. It interleaves the bytes of low-speed signals to multiplex the signals to high-speed counterparts, and the line coding of scrambling is only used only for signals. SDH is suitable for the fiber communication system with high speed and a large capacity since it uses synchronous multiplexing and flexible mapping structure.

tail drop A type of QoS. When a queue within a network router reaches its maximum length, packet drops can occur. When a packet drop occurs, connection-based protocols such as TCP slow down their transmission rates in an attempt to let queued packets be serviced, thereby letting the queue empty. This is also known as tail drop because packets are dropped from the input end (tail) of the queue. A congestion management mechanism, in which packets arrive later are discarded when the queue is full. This policy of discarding packets may result in network-wide synchronization due to the TCP slow startup mechanism.

TDM divides the sampling cycle of a channel into time slots (TSn, n=0, 1, 2, 3......), and the sampling value codes of multiple signals engross time slots in a certain order, forming multiple multiplexing digital signals to be transmitted over one channel. A technique used in best-effort delivery systems to prevent packets that loop endlessly. The TTL is set by the sender to the maximum time the packet is allowed to be in the network. Each router in the network decrements the TTL field when the packet arrives, and discards any packet if the TTL counter reaches zero.

MPLS TE needs to know the features of the dynamic TE of every links by expanding the current IGP, which uses the link state algorithm, such as OSPF and IS-IS. The expanded OSPF and IS-IS contain some TE features, such as the link bandwidth and color. The maximum reserved bandwidth of the link and the unreserved bandwidth of every link with priority are rather important. Every router collects the information about TE of every links in its area and generates TE DataBase. TEDB is the base of forming the dynamic TE path in the MPLS TE network. It is a way of controlling the network traffic from a computer to optimize or guarantee the performance and minimize the delay. It actively adjusts the output speed of traffic in the scenario that the traffic matches network resources provided by the lower layer devices, avoiding packet loss and congestion.

The VC logical trail that carries data between two end points in an ATM network. A logical grouping of multiple virtual channel connections into one virtual connection. Any logical connection in the ATM network. A VC is the basic unit of switching in the ATM network uniquely identified by a virtual path identifier (VPI)/virtual channel identifier (VCI) value. It is the channel on which ATM cells are transmitted by the sw virtual channel identifier. A 16-bit field in the header of an ATM cell. The VCI, together with the VPI, is used to identify the next destination of a cell as it passes through a series of ATM switches on its way to its destination. A group of co-located member trail termination functions that are connected to the same virtual concatenation link A point-to-point, layer-2 channel that behaves like a leased line by transparently transporting different protocols with a guaranteed throughput.

Virtual Local Area Network virtual networknetwork interface
A logical grouping of two or more nodes which are not necessarily on the same physical network segment but which share the same IP network number. This is often associated with switched Ethernet. A virtual network-network interface (V-NNI) is a network-side interface.
Virtual Path Identifier The field in the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) cell header that identifies to which VP (Virtual Path) the cell belongs. Virtual Private LAN Service Virtual Private Network Virtual Private Wire Service Virtual Routing and Forwarding A type of point-to-multipoint L2VPN service provided over the public network. VPLS enables geographically isolated user sites to communicate with each other through the MAN/WAN as if they are on the same LAN. The extension of a private network that encompasses encapsulated, encrypted, and authenticated links across shared or public networks. VPN connections can provide remote access and routed connections to private networks over the Internet. A technology that bears Layer 2 services. VPWS emulates services such as ATM, FR, Ethernet, low-speed TDM circuit, and SONET/SDH in a PSN. A technology included in IP (Internet Protocol) network routers that allows multiple instances of a routing table to exist in a router and work simultaneously.
Virtual Switch Instance An instance through which the physical access links of VPLS can be mapped to the virtual links. Each VSI provides independent VPLS service. VSI has Ethernet bridge function and can terminate PW. Virtual User-Network Interface VLAN VLL Voice over IP virtual user-network interface. A virtual user-network interface, works as an action point to perform service claissification and traffic control in HQoS. See Virtual Local Area Network See Virtual Leased Line An IP telephony term for a set of facilities used to manage the delivery of voice information over the Internet. VoIP involves sending voice information in a digital form in discrete packets rather than by using the traditional circuit-committed protocols of the public switched telephone network (PSTN).

Weighted Fair Queuing Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) is a fair queue scheduling algorithm based on bandwidth allocation weights. This scheduling algorithm allocates the total bandwidth of an interface to queues, according to their weights and schedules the queues cyclically. In this manner, packets of all priority queues can be scheduled. Weighted Random Early Detection WFQ Wide Area Network A packet loss algorithm used for congestion avoidance. It can prevent the global TCP synchronization caused by traditional tail-drop. WRED is favorable for the high-priority packet when calculating the packet loss ratio. See Weighted Fair Queuing A network composed of computers which are far away from each other which are physically connected through specific protocols. WAN covers a broad area, such as a province, a state or even a country. A tool for fiber routing, which acts as the corrugated pipe. Wire speed refers to the maximum packet forwarding capacity on a cable. The value of wire speed equals the maximum transmission rate capable on a given type of media.
