5 Hop Commissioning Commissioning Guide
5.1 Aligning the Antennas

Aligning the antennas is the most important activity in the HOP commissioning, and its result
has a direct effect on the performance of the radio link.
5.1.1 Main Lobe and Side Lobe
Before you align the antenna, you should learn the related knowledge of the main lobe and side
lobe.
5.1.2 Aligning the Single-Polarized Antennas
When you align the single-polarized antennas, you need to align the main lobes of the antenna
by adjusting the azimuth and elevation of the antennas at both ends.
5.1.3 Aligning the Dual-Polarized Antennas
When you align the dual-polarized antennas, you need to align the main lobe of the antenna
signals by adjusting the azimuth angle and elevation angle of the antennas at both ends. You
also need to adjust the feed booms of the antennas and ensure that the Cross-Polarization
Discrimination (XPD) meets the specified requirements.
5.1.1 Main Lobe and Side Lobe

Before you align the antenna, you should learn 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 5-1 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 affect the antenna alignment.
Figure 5-1 Main lobe and side lobe
Main lobe
First side lobe
Second side lobe
Locating the Main Lobe

The 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 will result 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 5-2 shows the head-on view of a free-space model for radio propagation. The side lobes
take the main lobe as the center and are distributed in the radiate form.

Tracking Path
Side lobe signal readings can be mistaken for main lobe readings when signals are tracked at
different elevations (or azimuths). Figure 5-3 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.)

l 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.
l 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.
l 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 5-4, a common error is to move the antenna left to right along line DD', or top to
bottom along line EE'. 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 5-3 until the peak signal appears.

5.1.2 Aligning the Single-Polarized Antennas

When you align the single-polarized antennas, you need to align the main lobes of the antenna
by adjusting the azimuth and elevation of the antennas at both ends.
Prerequisite
l The NE commissioning of the radio equipment at both ends of the radio link must be
complete.
l The weather should be suitable for outdoor work. There should be no rain, snow, or fog
between stations.
l The on-site conditions must meet the requirements for the antenna to operate at heights and
the personnel required to commission the antenna must be trained to work at high altitudes.
l The ATPC function must be disabled (the ATPC function, however, is disabled by default) .
l 4.3.7 Configuring the IF/ODU Information of a Radio Link, setting the Enable AM as
disabled.

l Adjustable wrench
l Telescope, interphone, and hex key wrench-set
l Multimeter (with a BNC connecter prepared at one end for future tests), north-stabilized
indicator
Precautions
l If the radio link is configured to 1+1 protection mode and one antenna is shared by the two
ODUs, power off the standby ODUs at both ends before aligning the antennas. After the
antennas are aligned, power on the standby ODUs at both ends.
l If the radio link is configured in 1+1 SD mode, align the antennas as follows:
1. Power on the main ODUs at both ends, and ensure that they are power-on during the
alignment.
2. Power off the standby ODUs at both ends, and align the main antennas at both ends.

3. Power on the standby ODU at the local end. Maintain the position of the main antenna
at the remote end, and adjust the diversity antenna at the local end.
4. Power on the standby ODU at the remote end. Maintain the position of the main
antenna at the local end, and adjust the diversity antenna at the remote end.
l If the radio link is configured in 1+1 FD mode and two antennas are used at each end, align
the antenna as follows:
1. At both ends, power on the main ODUs, power off the standby ODUs, and align the
main antennas.
2. At both ends, power off the main ODUs, power on the standby ODUs, and align the
diversity antennas.
CAUTION
You can adjust the azimuth angle and elevation angle of the antennas by adjusting the related
nuts or screws. For details, refer to the related installation guide.
Procedure
Step 1 Determine the azimuth of the 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 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.
Figure 5-5 Testing the RSSI voltage by using a multimeter

Step 3 Adjust the azimuth and elevation of the antenna as follows:

1. Keep the remote antenna fixed.
2. Use the multimeter to test the 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 5-3. In this case, adjust
the azimuth of the antenna to the peak position at point 2 as shown in Figure 5-3.
l Two signal peaks are tracked, for example, line BB' in Figure 5-3. In this case, adjust
the azimuth of the antenna to the middle of points 4 and 5 as shown in Figure 5-3. 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 5-3.
l One signal peak is tracked, for example, line CC' in Figure 5-3. In this case, adjust the
azimuth of the antenna to the middle of points 6 and 7 as shown in Figure 5-3. 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 5-3.
3. Slightly adjust the elevation and azimuth at point 2 as shown in Figure 5-3 until the
VBNC reaches the peak within the tracked range.
4. Adjust the antenna until the VBNC voltage reaches the peak value. Fix the local antenna.
NOTE
When you tighten the antenna, ensure that the VBNC voltage remains the peak value.
Step 4 Repeat Step 2 to Step 3 to adjust the remote antenna. When the remote received signal level
(RSL) reaches the peak value, tighten the remote antenna.
Step 5 Repeat Step 2 to Step 4 for two to four times and ensure that the RSL at the local end and the
RSL at the remote end reach the peak value. Tighten the antennas at both ends.
Step 6 Use the multimeter to test the VBNC voltage at both ends. Obtain the current RSL by referring
to the relation curve between the VBNC of ODUs and the RSLs at both ends.
NOTE
The curve diagram of the VBNC and RSL is put in the carton holding the ODU.
The actual RSL must be the same as planned by the network planning department.
NOTE
l If the VBNC does not meet the requirements, refer to the Maintenance Guide for fault handling.
Step 7 The ODU indicator on the IF board should be off. If the ODU indicator on the IF board blinks
yellow, you need to align the antenna.
Step 8 Tighten all the screws of the antennas.

4. Calculate the RSL (P2) of the vertically polarized signals by referring to the curve diagram
in the ODU box.
The calculated XPD1 (XPD1 = P1 - P2) should not be less than 30 dB.
Step 5 Record the angle (D1) of the current feed boom.
Step 6 Power off the horizontally polarized ODUs at both ends of the radio link, power on the vertically
polarized ODUs at both ends of the radio link, and thus ensure that the antennas transmit
vertically polarized signals.
Step 7 Measure the RSL (P3) of the vertically polarized signals at the local end by referring to Step
3.

Step 8 Power on the horizontally polarized ODU at the local end, and calculate the level (P4) of the
horizontally polarized signals received at the local end by referring to Step 4.
The calculated XPD2 (XPD2 = P3 - P4) should not be less than 30 dB.
Step 9 Record the angle (D2) of the current feed boom.
Step 10 Repeat Step 3 to Step 9 to adjust the feed boom slightly (ranging from D1 to D2), and ensure
that XPD1 and XPD2 are not less than 30 dB.
Step 11 Tighten all the screws of the antennas.

6 Network Commissioning
About This Chapter
This chapter describes the network commissioning items and the commissioning methods.
6.1 Checking the Connection between the Equipment and the NMS Computer
The NMS runs on the NMS computer to manage the NEs. If the NMS computer is incorrectly
connected to the equipment, the NMS cannot manage the NEs. Check the connection between
the equipment and the NMS computer to ensure that the connection is correct. This section
describes how to check the connection between the equipment and the NMS computer.
6.2 Starting the U2000
During network commissioning, use the U2000 to configure the equipment in the network. To
start the U2000, start the NMS computer, start the U2000 server and log in to the U2000 client.
6.3 Creating the Network Topology
According to the actual connections between NEs, create a network topology on the U2000.
After the topology is created, you can use the U2000 to configure services and perform each
commissioning task.
6.4 Configuring the VLAN ID and the Bandwidth for the Inband DCN
The network management (NM) center manages the OptiX RTN equipment through the inband
DCN scheme. That is, the service information and NM information (DCN packet) are transmitted
in the same physical link or tunnel. When the Ethernet port is used to carry the DCN packets,
the NE distinguishes the DCN packets from the service packets by an NM-dedicated VLAN ID.
Therefore, you need to set the bandwidth used by inband DCN and the VLAN ID for the inband
DCN packets according to the actual planning during engineering commissioning.
6.5 Synchronizing NE Time
Adjust the NE time to make it synchronous with the U2000 time so that the U2000 can accurately
record the time when an alarm, a performance event, or an abnormal event occurs.
6.6 Enabling the NE Performance Monitoring Function
Enabling the performance monitoring function for an NE helps perform the following
commissioning operations and monitor new performance events in the commissioning process.
If the performance monitoring function is enabled, you can obtain detailed performance records
during the operation process of this NE so that you can easily monitor and analyze the running
status of the NE.
6.7 Checking the Optical Power of Optical Interface

6 Network Commissioning Commissioning Guide
If the transmitted or received optical power at an optical interface is excessively low or high, bit
errors may be generated on the equipment, and the optical component may even be damaged.
This section describes how to check the transmitted and received optical power at optical
interfaces to ensure that the transmitted and received optical powers at all the optical interfaces
are within the normal range.
6.8 Configuring Services

6.4 Configuring the VLAN ID and the Bandwidth for the

Inband DCN
The network management (NM) center manages the OptiX RTN equipment through the inband
DCN scheme. That is, the service information and NM information (DCN packet) are transmitted
in the same physical link or tunnel. When the Ethernet port is used to carry the DCN packets,
the NE distinguishes the DCN packets from the service packets by an NM-dedicated VLAN ID.

Therefore, you need to set the bandwidth used by inband DCN and the VLAN ID for the inband
DCN packets according to the actual planning during engineering commissioning.
Prerequisite
l Configuring NE Data must be performed.

U2000
Context
l When the Ethernet port is used to carry the DCN packet, the NE distinguishes the DCN
packet from the service packet by an NM-dedicated VLAN ID. When the E1 port or tunnel
is used, the NE distinguishes the DCN packet from the service packet by a special MPLS
label. The MPLS label of the DCN packet cannot be modified.
l The bandwidth used by inband DCN is set to limit the bandwidth used to carry the in-band
DCN information on the physical port or tunnel.
l If the set bandwidth is not fully occupied by the DCN packet, the remaining bandwidth can
be used by the service packets.
Procedure
Step 1 On the Main Topology of the U2000, right-click the target NE to choose NE Explorer from the
shortcut menu. Then, the NE Explorer window is displayed.
Step 2 Choose Communication > DCN Management from the Function Tree in the NE Explorer
window.
Step 3 Click the Bandwidth Management tab, and set the VLAN ID for the inband DCN packets and
the bandwidth used by inband DCN according to the actual planning.
For description of bandwidth management parameters of the inband DCN, see Table 6-1.

Table 6-1 Description of bandwidth management parameters of the inband DCN
Parameter Value Description
Ethernet Board VLAN ID 1-4094 Sets the VALN ID used by the DCN packet.
Default: When Ethernet ports are used to carry DCN
4094 packets, you can set this parameter.
Generally, the default VLAN ID is
recommended. When the VLAN ID of the
service packets conflicts with the VLAN ID
of the DCN packets, you can customize the
VLAN ID for the DCN packets. Note that
VLAN ID of the DCN packets in the entire
network must be consistent.
Bandwidth (Kbit/s) 64-2048 Sets the bandwidth used by the DCN. When
Default: 512 Ethernet ports are used to carry DCN packets
among NEs, you can set this parameter.
The default value is recommended.
E1 Port Bandwidth (Kbit/s) 64-2048 Sets the bandwidth used by the DCN. When
Default: 192 E1 ports are used to carry DCN packets
among NEs, you can set this parameter.
Tunnel Bandwidth (Kbit/s) 64-2048 Sets the bandwidth used by the DCN. When
Default: 512 the IP tunnel or GRE tunnel are used to carry
DCN packets, you can set this parameter.
IF Port Bandwidth (Kbit/s) 64-2048 Sets the bandwidth used by the DCN. When
Default: 512 the IF Ports are used to carry DCN packets,
you can set this parameter.

Procedure
Step 1 Check the switching status of the LMSP protection group under test.
1. On the Main Topology of the U2000, right-click the NE configured with LMSP. Choose
NE Explorer from the shortcut menu to display the NE Explorer window.
2. In the Function Tree of NE Explorer, choose Configuration > Linear MS.
3. Click Query and choose Query Protection Group from the shortcut menu to refresh the
configuration of protection groups on the NE.
4. Click Query and choose Query Switching Status from the shortcut menu. Then, check
West Switching Status of the working and protection units in the protection group under
test. West Switching Status of both units should be Normal.
Step 2 Disable the working port of the LMSP protection group under test.
1. In NE Explorer, select the board configured with the LMSP protection and choose
Configuration > Interface Management > SDH Interface from the Function Tree.

2. On the General Attributes tab, select the working port in the LMSP protection group and
set Laser Interface Enabling Status to Close.
Step 3 Check the switching status. If West Switching Status of either the working unit or protection
unit is Switching, it indicates a successful switching.
Step 4 Disable the working port of the LMSP protection group under test with reference to Step 2.
Step 5 Revert the services to the working tunnel of the LMSP protection group.
l If Revertive Mode of the LMSP protection group is set to Revertive, the services are
reverted to the working tunnel when WTR expires.
l If Revertive Mode of the LMSP protection group is set to Non-Revertive, select the
protection group and click the Inter-Board Mapping Relation tab, right-click Protection
Unit in Protection Unit, and choose Manual Switching to Working from the shortcut
menu.
