Testing Transmit and Receive Optical


Power

Prerequisites

The service data must be configured.


The 15-minute performance monitoring of the NE must be
started.
The fiber connections must be normal.

Tools and Instruments

Web LCT

Fixed optical attenuator or variable optical attenuator

Procedure

Disable the automatic laser shutdown (ALS) function of the


laser, and ensure that transmission of the laser is enabled.
Query the 15-minute performance by using the Web LCT to
obtain the values of the transmit and receive optical power.

Copyright 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Page 24

Testing the Transmit and Receive


Optical Power (cont.)

Based on the queried values along with the specifications of


optical modules, judge whether they are within the normal
value range. The receive optical power should be 3 dB more
than the minimum sensitivity and 5 dB less than the minimum
overload provided in the specifications.
If the values are beyond the normal range, adjust the optical
power by increasing or decreasing the number of attenuators
to ensure that the receive and transmit optical power is within
the normal value range.
Perform the loopback test for the services upon the completion
of the optical power test. Ensure that no bit errors occur in five
minutes.

Note: The attenuator should be connected to the receive


end other than the transmit end.

Performing the Service Loopback


Test

Prerequisites

The Web LCT must be logged in to successfully and its


connection to the NE must be normal.

Performing the Service Loopback Test


(cont.)

Procedure

Connect the board to be tested to the test instrument.


Issue the loopback command and observe the instrument for
five minutes. The services should be normal.
Repeat the above two steps to test each board.
The service loopback for the IF board can only be
implemented by testing the services of other service boards.
Adopt different loopback mode depending on the actually
used instrument.
If the SDH analyzer is used to test the optical interface board,
first use the optical power meter to test the optical power
before the test and use the attenuator to ensure that the
optical power is within the normal range. This can protect the
instrument and the board.

boards and no abnormal alarms by using the Web LCT.
Perform active/standby PXC board switching by Web LCT.
Query the working status of the active and standby PXC boards
to check whether the switching is performed normally.
Query the current and history alarms to check whether any
alarm is generated during the switching process.
After the test, restore the PXC board in slot 1 to the active

If you use the BER tester to monitor the services, few bit errors
may occur during the switching process. The services,
however, can recover immediately after the switching is
complete.

Aligning the Antenna

Prerequisites

During the commissioning, the weather should be suitable and there


should be no rain/fog between stations.
The on-site conditions and personnel in charge of the antenna
commissioning must meet the requirements of operation at a high
altitude.

Tools and Instruments

The NE commissioning of the radio equipment at both ends of the


same radio link must be complete.

Wrench, multi-meter and intercom.

Note: If there are 2 antennas at each site, it needs to align the


main antennas and diversity antennas at both ends respectively.
First align the main antennas and then the diversity antennas.
Both antennas at local site should be aligned with the main
antenna at opposite end.

Copyright 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

Page 37

Aligning the Antenna (cont.)

Procedure
1.

According to the designed received signal level (RSL) along with the
relationship curve between the VBNC and RSL described in the user
documents (shipped with the equipment) of the ODU, read the
designed value of the VBNC.

2.

Align the antennas at both ends approximately by using the specific


tool (telescope) or instrument (COMPASS or GPS). If the antennas at
both ends are not aligned approximately, the V BNC cannot be adjusted
to the designed value.

3.

Fix the antenna at the opposite end, and adjust the azimuth
(elevation) of the antenna at the local end in a wide range. Use the
multi-meter to observe the VBNC value of the ODU at the local end. At
least three peak signals should be detected and the voltage of the
peak signal in the middle should be maximum. When the V BNC
reaches the maximum value, tighten the antenna. When the
antenna is being tightened, keep that the V BNC is always the
maximum.

As step 3, adjust the elevation (azimuth) of the antenna. And tighten it.
Tighten the antennas at the local end. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to adjust
the antennas at the opposite end and tighten them.
Repeat steps 3 to 5 for two to four times. When the RSL of the
antennas at the local end and the remote end reach the maximum
value, tighten the antennas at both ends.
Test VBNC of ODUs at both ends by multi-meter. Read the actual receive
power level (RSL) by referring to the relationship curve between the
VBNC and RSL for the ODUs at both ends. The difference between actual
RSL value and its designed value should be ranged from -3 dB to +3
dB.
If the VBNC does not meet the above requirements, check whether the
antennas at both ends are approximately aligned by referring to the
step2. Also you can refer to the OptiX RTN 600 Radio Transmission
System Maintenance Guide for solutions.
After antennas aligning is complete, tighten all screws of the antennas.

BER tester and Web LCT

Precautions

If the 24-hour BER cannot be tested for each hop on the link
because of the restrictions of the actual situation, choose the
E1 service of the first node and terminal node of each link to
perform this test. This operation ensures that the test path
covers all the radio links.
The following test procedure considers the E1 service between
stations as an example. If no E1 service is configured between
stations, perform the test through the configured WS service
(only applicable in the SDH radio).

inloop is unfeasible, perform the
software inloop for the E1 ports by
using the Web LCT.
At remote site, connect the E1 services
in a serial manner at the DDF, and
access them to the BER tester.
Test the 24-hour BER by using the BER
tester.
Record the test result. The result
should indicate that no bit errors occur.

Testing the 24-Hour BER (cont.)

Postrequisites

If bit errors occur in the first 24-hour BER test, remove the
fault. Perform another 24-hour BER test until the test is
passed.

If bit errors occur in the test for a serial connection, locate


the fault by using the dichotomizing search or other methods
until each channel passes the 24-hour BER test
independently.

Questions

What is the procedure to aligning antennas?

How long should it take to test the E1 service and WS service respectively by using the BER tester?

What alarms occur after the IF 1+1 switching is complete?

How can we ensure that SNCP switching is successful?

How should we handle bit errors occurring in the 24-hour BER test?
