blade before the fan stops.
1.1.2 Safe Usage of Fibers

This section describes the safe usage of fibers.
DANGER
The laser beams of the optical interface board or inside the optical fiber might cause damage to
the eyes. Do not expose the eyes to the laser beams.
Protection of Optical Connectors

All idle optical connectors of fiber jump and optical interfaces on optical interface boards must
be covered with protective caps. The optical interfaces of the replaced boards must be covered
with protective caps in time. Store them in proper packages to keep the optical interfaces clean.
Protective caps recommended are shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Protective caps recommended
Protective caps not recommended are shown in Figure 1-2.

Figure 1-2 Protective caps not recommended
NOTE
The protective caps that are not recommended are made of soft rubber. The caps tend to collect dust and
sundries. It is hard to clean this type of caps and the caps give no perfect dust proof effect.
Connecting Fibers
CAUTION
When using fiber jumper to perform a hardware loopback test on optical interfaces, increase the
attenuation to avoid damage to equipment due to high power of laser beam. For the boards where
optical attenuators can be added, add optical attenuators on the receive optical interface, but not
on the transmit optical interface.
Insert the fibers into the optical connectors carefully when connecting fibers. If the optical power
is too high, add a fixed optical attenuator to avoid damage to optical interfaces due to the high
input optical power.
DANGER
Before removing or inserting fibers from/into the CRPC board, shut down the pump laser to
avoid damage to human body due to the high optical power from the laser. The laser class of the
CRPC board is CLASS 4. The maximum output optical power of the optical interface on the
board is more than 27 dBm (500 mW).
The CRPC board raises high requirements on fiber loss of the line nearby. For details, refer to
Table 1-2.

Table 1-2 Fiber connection requirement of the CRPC
Distance Loss (dB) Connector (piece)
0–10 (km) ≤0.1 0
10–20 (km) ≤0.2 0
NOTE
For CRPC board, only the ODF has one terminal. Other connection points adopt the fiber splicing form.
For details on how to connect fiber connectors, refer to the Installation Guide..
Cleaning Fibers
The fiber connectors and optical interfaces of lasers must be cleaned by using special cleaning
tools and materials. The following are some common cleaning tools:
l Cleaning solvent
l Non-woven lens tissue
l Special compressed gas
l Dust-free cotton stick
l Special cleaning roll, using with cleaning solvent listed in the first item
l Fiberscope
For details on how to clean fibers, refer to the Troubleshooting.
1.1.3 Operations on the Equipment with Power on

This section describes the requirements when performing operations on the equipment with
power on.
Note the following requirements when performing operations on the equipment with power on.
l Do not install or disassemble the equipment with power on.

l Do not install or remove power cables with power on.
l Before connecting cables, ensure that the cable and cable label are consistent with the actual
requirement.
1.1.4 ESD
When you install and maintain equipment, take antistatic measures to prevent equipment
damage.
The general rules for electrostatic prevention are as follows:
l Check that the equipment is securely grounded.

l Always wear an ESD wrist strap during the operation.

CAUTION
Wear a well-grounded ESD wrist strap whenever you touch any equipment or board. Make sure
that the wrist strap fully touches your skin. Insert the connector of the ESD strap into the ESD
socket in the subrack.
For the method of how to wear an ESD wrist strap, refer to Figure 1-3.
Figure 1-3 Wearing an ESD wrist strap
When you take antistatic measures, take the following precautions:
l Check the validity and functionality of the wrist strap. Its resistance value must be within
0.75 megaohm to 10 megaohm. If the validity period (usually two years) of the wrist strap
expires or the resistance value fails to meet requirements, use a functioning wrist strap.
l Do not touch a board with your clothing. It generates static electricity beyond the protection
scope of the wrist strap.
l Wear an ESD wrist strap and place the board on an antistatic pad when you replace
board software or chips. Use antistatic tweezers or extraction tools to replace chips. Do not
touch chips, circuits, or pins with your bare hands.
l Keep the boards and other ESD sensitive parts to be installed in antistatic bags. Place the
removed boards and components on an antistatic pad or other antistatic materials. Do not
use non-antistatic materials such as white foams, common plastic bags, or paper bags to
pack boards or let them touch boards.
l Wear an ESD wrist strap when operating the ports of boards because they are also ESD-
sensitive. Discharge the static electricity of cables and protective sleeves before you connect
them to the ports.

l Reserve some materials for board installation (such as antistatic boxes and bags) in the
room for future use.

2 Configuring NE and Network
About This Chapter
This chapter describes how to configure NE and network.
2.1 Connecting the NM Computer

This section describes how to connect the NM computer to an NE, so that the NM can manage
the NE.
2.2 Starting the T2000
This section describes how to start the T2000 server and the client.
2.3 Creating an Optical Network Element (ONE)
Use this procedure to create an optical NE (ONE) manually. On the T2000, the WDM equipment
is managed as an ONE.
2.4 Creating an NE
This section describes the two methods of creating a NE: creating NEs in batches by using the
searching function and creating NEs one by one manually.
2.5 Logging In to an NE
On the T2000, a user can operate an NE only after the user logs in to the NE.
2.6 Setting NE ID and IP
ECC protocol recognizes NE through the NE ID. NE ID is also used as the key word of index
on the T2000 interface and database. Therefore, when planning the network, you must assign a
unique ID for each NE. If an NE ID conflicts with another one, ECC routing collision is caused.
In this case, some NEs cannot be managed. In the commissioning or expansion process, if you
need to change the NE ID because of planning adjustment, you can change the NE ID on the
T2000.
2.7 Creating Boards
You can add a certain board manually on the T2000. After the board is added, you can add
customized information into the remarks of the board to facilitate the future maintenance and
troubleshooting.
2.8 Configuring Board WDM Interface Attributes
Configure the WDM interface attributes of boards to meet the engineering requirements. Every
board has its own specific parameters, but the parameters are set in the same way. All interface
parameters can be queried.

2 Configuring NE and Network Commissioning Guide
2.9 Synchronizing NE Time with the T2000 Server Manually

For NEs without the NTP service configured, to enable the T2000 to record the alarm and
performance events occurring time correctly, you are suggested to check whether the NE time
is consistent with the T2000 server time or not during routine maintenance. If not, synchronize
the NE time with the T2000 server manually.
2.10 Starting or Stopping Performance Monitoring of the Specified NE
Performance monitoring keeps a detailed record of the operation of an NE, helping the
maintenance engineer to monitor and analyze the operation status of the NE. Use this procedure
to start or stop performance monitoring.
2.11 Setting Master/Slave Subracks
The OptiX OSN 6800 supports the master/slave subrack management. The ID of the master or
slave subrack is set through the AUX board in the subrack. To prevent subrack ID conflict and
avoid the communication error, set the IDs of the master and slave subracks correctly.
2.12 Setting Manually Extended ECC Communication
When there is no optical path between two or more NEs for communication, the Ethernet port
of the SCC can be used to realize the extended ECC communication. If the number of NEs
exceeds four, the manually extended ECC communication is recommended. During setting of
the manually extended ECC communication, set one or more NEs to the server and other NEs
to the client.
2.13 Creating Fiber Connections in Graphic Mode
In graphic mode, you can create fiber connections on the Main Topology or the signal flow
diagram directly. This mode is applicable to scenarios where a small number of fiber connections
are to be created one by one.

2.11 Setting Master/Slave Subracks

The OptiX OSN 6800 supports the master/slave subrack management. The ID of the master or
slave subrack is set through the AUX board in the subrack. To prevent subrack ID conflict and
avoid the communication error, set the IDs of the master and slave subracks correctly.
Prerequisite
The T2000 server and client should be started normally.
The master/slave subracks should be installed.
Fiber connection should be done.

T2000
The master subrack and the slave subrack are connected through the ETH1/ETH2 of the AUX
or the ETH3 of the EFI. The ID of the master subrack is 0 by default. The AUX board can be
used to set the ID of the slave subrack. The setting is realized by jumpers.
The AUX board has three jumpers, which can be used to realize eight states that represent
decimal values 0–7.Each jumper represents a binary value: 0 or 1. The default value of the three
jumpers is 000. Figure 2-1 shows the jumper.

l The jumpers are numbered 3 to 1 from the side close to CPU.

l The jumpers are numbered 1 to 3 from the most significant bit to the lest significant bit.
l When a jumper cap is placed over the right-hand two pins in the figure or the three pins are
not placed with any jumper cap, it represents the value 1.
l When a jumper cap is placed over the right-hand two pins in the figure, it represents the
value 0.
In Figure 2-2 the value represented by the three jumpers is 001, which is 1 in decimal system.
That is, the subrack ID is 1.
Figure 2-1 Position of the jumper on the AUX.

NOTE
The dashed line between two pins in the figure indicates that a jumper cap may or may not be placed over
the two pins.
The LCD front panel of the SCC indicates the ID of the subrack. The ID of the master subrack
is 0 and the ID of the slave subrack ranges from 1 to 7.
On the NMS, the master subrack and the multiple slave subracks are displayed as one NE with
one ID and one IP.

Precautions
CAUTION
Modifying the NE ID is a dangerous operation, which may interrupt service.
Procedure
Step 1 Check whether any ID displayed on the SCCs of the master/slave subracks repeats or blinks. If
so, there is conflict in subrack ID. Adjust the jumpers of corresponding AUX boards against
repetition.
NOTE
After jumper adjustment, the NE or subrack must be reset. For details, refer to Step 4.
Step 2 Log in the T2000.
Step 3 Double-click the optical NE to display the status figure of the ONE.
Step 4 Right-click the NE to display the NE Explorer.

1. If there is repetition or blink in master subrack ID in step 1, power-off reset the NE.
2. If there is repetition or blink in slave subrack ID in step 1, warm reset all boards in this
slave subrack, or power-off reset the NE.
NOTE
l During deployment commissioning, the reset operation can be realized by reboot of the subrack power
supply. For example, to reset the NE, you can close the power supplies of all master and slave subracks.
Reopen the power supplies when all boards stop working.
l To avoid service interruption in upgrade and expansion process, you can warm reset all boards of
original subracks and then reboot the power supply of the new-inserted subrack that causes the conflict.

history alarms.
1. If there is, check the network cable connection to ensure that the connections between the
master subrack and the slave subracks are chains.
2. Warm reset all boards in the master and slave subracks.
Step 9 Check whether there is any SUBRACK_ID_CONFLICT in the current and history alarms.
1. If there is, adjust the jumpers of corresponding AUX boards against repetition.
2. Refer to step 4 to reset the board.
Step 10 Insert a physical board in the slave subrack and add the corresponding logical board on the
T2000. Check whether the board can be available and operate normally (displayed as green). If
so, the configuration of the master/slave subrack is correct.

3.1.2 General Commissioning Consequence
This section describes the general consequence of commissioning optical power.
3.1.3 Commissioning Tools and Instruments
The optical power meter and the optical spectrum analyzer are needed in optical power
commissioning.
3.1.1 Basic Requirements

This section describes the basic requirements of optical power commissioning.
Basic requirements of optical power commissioning are as follows:
l The optical power under commissioning should be between the allowable maximum and
minimum values.
l Allowance is required to ensure that the power fluctuation within a range brings no impact
on the services.
l Optical power commissioning should meet the requirement of system expansion from the
customer.

l The CWDM network does not support the OA. Only the optical power commissioning is
needed in CWDM commissioning. The OSNR and flatness commissioning are not needed.
l Only the received optical power of the OTU is needed in optical power commissioning.
The specific commissioning requirements, procedures are similar to these of the DWDM
system.
3.1.2 General Commissioning Consequence

This section describes the general consequence of commissioning optical power.
General Consequence of Optical Power Commissioning

Optical power commissioning is to commission the optical power values of NEs and boards one
by one according to the optical signal flow, and to remove the abnormal attenuation of lines or
boards according to the requirements on optical power, gain and insertion loss of the board.
The commissioning is performed according to the requirements of optical power commissioning
for the optical amplifier unit (OA), OTU, OSC boards.
Optical Power Commissioning Procedures

Generally, the stations between the two OTMs in the OptiX WDM system form one network
segment. One network segment has two signal flow directions of transmit direction and receive
direction.

The OptiX WDM system commissions the optical power of each NE one by one according to
the signal flow in each network segment.
Firstly, complete the optical power commissioning of one OTM in transmit direction. Then
commissions the optical power of each downstream NE one by one and complete the optical
power commissioning of destination OTM in receive direction. Finally, complete the optical
power commissioning of the other signal flow in the reverse direction of the previous signal
flow.
Project X is an example to introduce the optical power commissioning procedures.
Figure 3-1 shows the networking diagram of Project X. The ONEs A, B, C, D, E and F are the
Optical OSN 6800 systems, which form the ring network. Among these ONEs, the ONE A and
ONE C are the back-to-back OTM stations; the ONE B, ONE D and ONE F are the OLA stations,
and the ONE E is the OADM station.

:OTM :OLA : OADM
Project X consists of two network segments: A–B–C and A–F–E–D–C.

First follow the consequence to commission the optical power in A–B–C network segment.
l Commission the optical power in A–B–C signal flow:
– Commission the optical power of station A in A-to-B transmit direction.
– Commission the optical power of station B in A-to-B receive direction.
– Commission the optical power of station B in B-to-C transmit direction.
– Commission the optical power of station C in B-to-C receive direction.
l Commission the optical power in C–B–A signal flow:
– Commission the optical power of station C in C-to-B transmit direction.
– Commission the optical power of station B in C-to-B receive direction.
– Commission the optical power of station B in B-to-A transmit direction.
– Commission the optical power of station A in B-to-A receive direction.
Then refer to the previous procedures to complete the optical power commissioning of the A–
F–E–D–C network segment in two directions.
NOTE
For the details about the NE commissioning, refer to 3.12 Example of Commissioning Optical Power.

3.1.3 Commissioning Tools and Instruments

The optical power meter and the optical spectrum analyzer are needed in optical power
commissioning.
l Optical power meter: It is mainly used to test the optical power on the client side and the
WDM side of the OTU, and the general optical power of the multiplexed signals.
l Optical spectrum analyzer: It is mainly used to test the optical power, optical signal-to-
noise ratio (OSNR) and the central wavelength of each wavelength in the multiplexed
signals.
Align the optical spectrum analyzer before using it to test the optical power. The method
to verify the alignment is as follows.
Test the optical power of the OUT optical interface on the OTU with an optical spectrum
analyzer and compare the value with the value tested by an optical power meter. If the
difference is less than 0.5 dB, the alignment is acceptable. If not, align the optical spectrum
analyzer again.
NOTE
The optical power of single wavelength in the multiplexed signals needs to be test with an optical spectrum
analyzer. The commissioning method is more accurate and does not need to consider the influence of noise.
3.2 Commissioning Optical Power of OTU Board

This section describes how to commission the optical power of OTU board.
CAUTION
The overload of the APD receiver laser is –9 dBm. If the input optical power is higher, the APD
laser may be damaged. Therefore, it is recommended to inserted the fiber loosely from the input
optical interface of the OTU during commissioning. After commissioning, make sure the input
optical power is lower than the receiver overload before you insert the fiber.
For the receiver sensitivity, overload and output optical power indices of the OTU, refer to the
Product Description.

This section describes how to adjust the input optical power of OTU board.
3.2.1 Forcing the OTU Board to Emit Light

This section describes how to force the OTU board to emit light.
Prerequisite
The NE must be created on the T2000.

Tools, Equipments and materials

T2000
The signals accessed to the client side or the WDM side should be the service signals in actual
transmission or the optical signals generated by forcing the board to emit light.
The WDM side of the OTU board is forced to emit light by default. If it does not emit light, refer
to the following procedure to query whether the board is forced to emit light and set the board
to emit light.
Precautions
CAUTION
l The prerequisite for commissioning the ESC is forcing the OTU to emit light.
l After ESC commissioning is completed, the WDM-side interfaces of the OTU board keep
being forced to emit light.
Procedure
Step 1 Log in to the T2000.
Step 2 Double click the ONE icon, and the status figure of the ONE is displayed.
Step 3 Right-click the NE and select NE Explorer.
Step 4 Select the desired OTU from the Navigator Tree in the left-hand pane, and choose

3.2.2 Adjusting the Input Optical Power of OTU Board

This section describes how to adjust the input optical power of OTU board.
Commissioning Requirements
l Adjust the input power of the input optical interface RXn on the client side and the input
power of the input optical interface IN on the WDM side of the OTU to be within the
optimal range: from higher than the sensitivity value by 3 dBm to lower than the overload
value by 5 dBm.

NOTE
For a certain OTU, if the overload of the optical module is 0 dBm, and if the receiver sensitivity is
–17 dBm, the receive optical power should be adjusted within the range from –14 dBm to –5 dBm.
l The optical preamplifier on the WDM side of the OTU has output the standard optical
power of single wavelength. Hence, the input optical power on the WDM side can be
adjusted on the basis of the actual optical power by adding, changing or removing the fixed
optical attenuators.
l After commissioning, insert the fiber into the input optical interface on the OTU when the
input optical power turns to normal.
3.3 Commissioning Optical Power of Tributary Board

The tributary boards include the TBE, TDX, TDG, TQX, TOM, TSXL, TQM and TQS.
For the specification of the tributary unit, refer to the Product Description.
Before the optical signals of single wavelength are accessed into the corresponding tributary
unit, adjust the input power of the client-side optical interface RXn of the tributary unit to be
within the optimal range: from higher than the sensitivity value by 3 dBm to lower than the
overload value by 5 dBm.
3.4 Commissioning Optical Power of Line Board

This section describes how to commission the optical power of line board.
The line board includes the NS2 and ND2.
For the specification of the line unit, refer to the Product Description.
l Before the optical signals of single wavelength are accessed to the corresponding line unit,
adjust the input power of the WDM-side optical interface IN of the line unit to be within
the optimal range: from higher than the sensitivity value by 3 dBm to lower than the
overload value by 5 dBm.
l Generally the commissioning of the output optical power is not needed. However, if the
station is an OADM station or configured with wavelength protection, adjust the VOA of
the output interface on the WDM side of the line unit to flat the gain of each add wavelength
amplified by the OAU.
3.5 Commissioning Optical Power of EDFA OAU Board

This section describes how to commission the optical power of EDFA OAU board.

The EDFA OAU board includes OAU1, OBU1, OBU2 and HBA.
l Four types of OAU1 are valid: OAU101, OAU102, OAU103 and OAU105.
l Three types of OBU1 are valid: OBU101, OBU103 and OBU104.
l One type of OBU2 is valid: OBU205.
The relation between the multiplexed signal and the single wavelength of the OAU in terms of
the optical power is as follows.
Optical power of multiplexed signal = Optical power of single wavelength + 10lgN (N is the
number of wavelengths of the multiplexed signal)
3.5.1 Adjusting the Input Optical Power of OAU Board
This section describes how to adjust the input optical power of OAU board.
3.5.2 Adjusting the Gains of OAU
This section describes how to adjust the gains of the OAU.
3.5.1 Adjusting the Input Optical Power of OAU Board

This section describes how to adjust the input optical power of OAU board.
Adjust the average single wavelength input optical power of the IN interface of the OAU and
make it close to the typical input power of single wavelength. Ensure that the number of
wavelengths whose optical power is larger than the typical value is extremely close to the number
of wavelengths whose optical power is smaller than the typical value.
l Typical input power of single wavelength of the HBA is –19 dBm (40-channel) and –12
dBm (10-channel).
l Typical input power of single wavelength of the OBU101 is –20 dBm (40-channel) and –
23 dBm (80-channel).
l Typical input power of single wavelength of the OAU101 is –16 dBm (40-channel) and –
l Typical input power of single wavelength of the OAU103 is –20 dBm (40-channel) and –
If the average single wavelength input optical power before the input end of the OAU is added
with a VOA is higher than the typical input power of single wavelength, adjust the VOA before
the OAU to make the average single wavelength input optical power reach the typical value.
If the average single wavelength input optical power before the input end of the OAU is added
with a VOA is lower than the typical input power of single wavelength, no VOA is needed.
3.5.2 Adjusting the Gains of OAU

This section describes how to adjust the gains of the OAU.

Prerequisite
The commissioning of the optical power of the upstream board must be completed.

T2000, optical power meter
For the OAU1, set the gain to ensure that the mean output optical power equals the maximum
output optical power of single wavelength, which is 4 dBm. Gain = Maximum output power of
single wavelength – Mean input optical power of single wavelength.
After setting the gain, use the optical spectrum analyzer to check whether the mean output optical
power of single wavelength is within the range from 3.5 dBm to 4.5 dBm. If it exceeds this
range, finely tune the gain value.
l If the mean output optical power of single wavelength is more than 4.5 dBm, decrease the
gain value to adjust the mean output optical power of single wavelength to 4 dBm. The
allowable deviation is within ±0.5 dBm.
l If the mean output optical power of single wavelength is less than 3.5 dBm, increase the
gain value to adjust the mean output optical power of single wavelength to 4 dBm. The
allowable deviation is within ±0.5 dBm.
Procedure
Step 1 Confirm the board type and query the adjustable range of the gain.
Step 2 Use an optical power meter to test the optical power at the input power of the RDC interface
and the output power of the TDC interface and calculate the insertion loss of the DCM.
Insertion loss of the DCM = output power of the TDC – input power of the RDC
Step 3 Calculate the settable range of the gain of the OAU board according to the intermediate insertion
loss.
Settable Gain range = gain range of the OAU – insertion loss of the DCM
Step 4 Ensure that the input power of the OAU is the average input power of single wavelength Pin.
Calculate the gain value.
Gain = maximum output power of single wavelength – average input power of single wavelength
Step 5 Check whether the gain is within the value range calculated in Step 3.
l If the gain is less than the minimum gain calculated in Step 3, increase the attenuation value
of the VOA at the input end of the OAU to decrease the average input power of single
wavelength to the standard value.
l If the gain is more than the maximum gain calculated in Step 3, decrease the attenuation
value of the VOA at the input end of the OAU to increase the average input power of single
wavelength. If the gain cannot meet the requirement, confirm with the network designer that
the network design value is correct or not.
Step 6 Enter the NE Explorer on the T2000.

Step 7 Select the desired OAU1 from the Navigator Tree in the left-hand pane, and choose
Configuration > WDM interface from the Function Tree.
Step 8 Choose By Board/Port (Path).
Step 9 In the General Attributes tab, set the Nominal Gain of the OAU1 board.
Step 10 Click Apply.
Step 11 Click Query. Query the Nominal Gain displayed on the T2000. If the gain difference of the
actual value and the set nominal value is within 0.5 dB, the setting succeeds. If the setting fails,
check whether the gain set is within the gain range.

3.6 Commissioning Optical Power of Raman Amplifier

Board
This section describes how to commission the optical power of Raman amplifier board.
Precautions
DANGER
Raman amplifier emits strong light. Do not insert or remove the fiber connector when the laser
is working, to avoid damage to human body. The laser safety level of CRPC is CLASS 4. The
maximum output power of each optical interface is more than 27 dBm (500 mW).
Raman amplifiers extend the distance of a span and improve the OSNR. After the Raman
amplifier is used, the optical power that is close to the fiber line should be tested on the LINE
interface on the Raman amplifier. Shut down the pump lasers of the Raman amplifier before the
test.
NOTE
There are two types Raman board of OptiX OSN 6800: CRPC01 and CRPC03. For details of
commissioning CRPC board, refer to A Commissioning CRPC Board.
The following are the basic commissioning requirements of Raman amplifier unit:
l Test the optical power on the SYS interface of the Raman unit when the laser is enabled
and when it is disabled. Determine the on-off gain of the Raman unit.
l On-off gain = Optical power on the SYS interface when the laser is enabled – Optical power
on the SYS interface when the Raman laser is disabled
l When the Raman amplifier is used, the output optical power is rather great. The greater the
optical power is, the higher the requirements of the fiber jumper become. Great optical
power may bring damages to equipment and injuries to human body. Hence, the power of
the Raman pumping light should be as low as possible on the premise that the on-off gain
is not less than 10 dB. The maximum optical power should be not more than 29 dBm.

l Raman amplifier is used in the case of extremely low input optical power. When the SYS
interface of the Raman amplifier is connected to the OAU, if the input optical power of the
OAU is smaller than the standard per-channel input optical power of the OAU, no variable
attenuator is required. If the input optical power of the OAU is larger than the standard per-
channel input optical power of the OAU, a variable attenuator is required.
l The output optical power reaches 27 dBm when the Raman amplifier is used in backward
or forward pumping. Be careful of this. The fiber connector should be the special LSH/
APC fiber connector. If the PC fiber connector is used, great reflection will burn the fiber
connector.
l As for the Raman board used for backward pumping, the strong pump light enters the fiber
through the input end (LINE) instead of the output end (SYS). Do not add any attenuator
or fiber jumper before the input end.
l The bending radius of the fiber that goes to the LINE port of the Raman amplifier should
meet the requirement. The bending should not be too great; otherwise, the fiber jumper is
burnt.
l The laser is by default turned off after the Raman amplifier is powered on. The laser can
be turned on by issuing a command.
l Before the laser of the Raman amplifier is turned on, connect the fiber of the input end
(LINE port of the Raman Amplifier) and that of the FIU. Keep the fiber clean when
removing or inserting the fiber. If there is dirt on the surface of the connector, the connector
can be easily damaged.
l The Raman amplifier has a very strict requirement on the loss of the near-end line fiber.
Such a fiber should have no connector within the distance of 0 km to 20 km (12 mi.). The
fibers should be connected to each other by splicing.
l The requirement on the fiber line from the Raman board lies on the single-point additional
loss in the line cable. The following are the requirements of the single-point additional loss:
– 0 km–20 km (0 mi.–12 mi.): Do not use fiber connectors.
– 0 km–10 km (0 mi.–6 mi.): The single-point additional loss is less than 0.1 dB (G.652)
or 0.2 dB (G.655).
– 10 km–20 km (6 mi.–12 mi.): The single-point additional loss is less than 0.2 dB (G.
652) or 0.4 dB (G.655) and the single-point return loss is not less than 40 dB.
Setting Jumper
There are two groups of jumpers on the CRPC boards. The two groups are identified as J3 and
J4.Figure 3-2 shows the number of each jumper.

Jumpers 9 to 10 in J3 and 1 to 6 in J4 are used for internal identification on the board. To ensure
the normal operation of the board, follow the requirements below to set the jumpers.
l Do not connect jumpers 1 to 2 in J3.
l Connect jumpers 1 to 2 in J4.
Jumpers 7–8 and 9–10 in J4 are used to set the IP of the CRPC board. When several CRPC
boards are used in an NE, an IP for each board is required to prevent IP conflict. The following
are jumper setting regulations:
l When jumpers 7–8 and 9–10 in J4 are not connected, the board IP is 192.168.0.28.
l When jumpers 7–8 in J4 are connected and jumpers 9–10 are not connected, the board IP
is 192.168.0.29.
l When jumpers 7–8 in J4 are not connected and jumpers 9–10 are connected, the board IP
is 192.168.0.30.
l When jumpers 7–8 and 9–10 in J4 are connected, the board IP is 192.168.0.31.
3.7 Commissioning Optical Power of OSC Board

This section describes how to commission the optical power of OSC board.
The OptiX OSN 6800 offers two types of supervisory channels:

l Optical supervisory channel (OSC)
l Electrical supervisory channel (ESC)
The OSC requires the optical supervisory channel unit SC1 and SC2. The unit is used to transmit
and receive the supervisory information.
The ESC does not need the optical supervisory channel units. In this mode, the optical
transponder unit (OTU) multiplexes the supervisory information into the service channels for
transmission.
NOTE
Once the boards work, the ESC and OSC are enabled by default.

Prerequisite
The commissioning of the optical power at the transmit end of the upstream station must be
completed.
Tools, Equipments and Materials

Optical power meter, fixed attenuator
The received optical power of OSC is within the range from –48 dBm to –3 dBm, and the
transmitted optical power of OSC is within the range from –4 dBm to 0 dBm. Basic requirements
of the optical power commissioning on the OSC are as follows:
l The optical power of the OSC should be within the range from –45 dBm to –8 dBm.
l A 15 dB fixed attenuator is required for the interconnection between the OSCs in the station.
Procedure
Step 1 Check the fiber connection of the OSC unit.
l The RM interface of the OSC board connects with the TM interface of FIU board in the local
station.
l The TM interface of the OSC board connects with the RM interface of FIU board in the local
station.
Step 2 Set the wavelength of the optical power meter to 1510 nm. Then measure the transmit optical
power of the OSC board. It should be in the range from –4 dBm to 0 dBm.
Step 3 Set the wavelength of the optical power meter to 1510 nm. Then measure the actual receive
optical power of the OSC board. It should be in the range from –48 dBm to –3 dBm.
NOTE
If the result does not meet the requirement, clean the optical fiber. If the problem still exists, check whether the
OSC is faulty. Clear the fault.
Step 4 Set the wavelength of the optical power meter to 1510 nm. Then test the insertion loss between
the IN and TM interfaces, and between the RM and OUT interfaces of the FIU. The values should
be less than 1.5 dBm.

3.8 Commissioning Optical Power of Multiplexer and

Demultiplexer Board
This section describes the basic requirements of commissioning the optical power of multiplexer
and demultiplexer board.
Only the VMUX board of the multiplexer and demultiplexer unit have strict requirements for
optical power commissioning. The M40, D40, and FIU have no requirements for optical power
commissioning, they only need to note the insertion loss.
3.8.1 Commissioning the Optical Power of M40V and D40V Board
This section describes the basic requirements of commissioning the optical power of M40V and
D40V board
3.8.2 Commissioning the Optical Power of FIU Board
This section describes the basic requirements of commissioning the optical power of FIU board.
3.8.1 Commissioning the Optical Power of M40V and D40V Board

This section describes the basic requirements of commissioning the optical power of M40V and
D40V board
Adjust the optical power and the flatness of OSNR of each wavelength at the receive end to meet
the requirements by adjusting the built-in VOA.
l Adjust the attenuation of the VOAs in each channel of the M40V/D40V at the transmit end
to 5 dB before commissioning.
l Connect the optical spectrum analyzer to the MON interface of the last OAU of the signal
flow. Test the optical power and the OSNR of each channel in WDM mode.
l According to the optical spectrum figure, find out the channels with the largest or the
smallest optical power (or OSNR). Adjust the VOA in the corresponding channels of the
M40V/D40V to make the optical power (or OSNR) closer to the average value.
l Ensure that the maximum difference of optical power among all the channels is within 4
dB and that of OSNR is within 2 dB.

NOTE
Generally the output optical power values of all OAUs do not have obvious change after the previous
commissioning. If the change is obvious, adjust the VOA before the first OAU of the signal flow to make
the input optical power reach the standard value. Do not need to adjust the successive OAUs. Ensure that
the OSNR is flat and the optical power is around the standard value.
3.8.2 Commissioning the Optical Power of FIU Board

This section describes the basic requirements of commissioning the optical power of FIU board.
For FIU boards, note the insertion loss of them.
l IN–>TC insertion loss = Input optical power of IN interface – Output optical power of TC
interface

OUT interface
l IN–>TM insertion loss = Input optical power of IN interface – Output optical power of TM
interface
l RM–>OUT insertion loss = Input optical power of RM interface – Output optical power
of OUT interface

l Automatic power adjustment is supported in add and pass-through wavelength directions.
– In add wavelength direction: Create the optical cross-connection from the east OTU at
the transmit end to the east FIU, and set the rated optical power of the IN interface of
east OAU at the transmit end to the typical input power of single wavelength. Then the
system automatically determines and adjusts the output optical power to ensure that the
input optical power of the OAU at the transmit end meets the requirements in adding
wavelength.
– In pass-through direction: Create the optical cross-connection from the west FIU to the
east FIU, and set the rated optical power of the IN interface of east OAU at the transmit
end to the typical input power of single wavelength. Then the system automatically
determines and adjusts the output optical power to ensure that the input optical power
of the OAU at the transmit end meets the requirements in pass-through wavelength.
l Manual power adjustment is needed in drop wavelength direction.
Configure the fixed optical attenuator at the IN interface of the west OTU at the receive
end. Select the fixed optical attenuator according to the input optical power of the OTU to
ensure that the input optical power meets the requirements. The VOA (in the dashed frame)
between the ROAM and D40 boards is used to adjust the input optical power of the optical
amplifier to a value within the nominal range. If the input optical power is within the
nominal range when the VOA is not added, the VOA is not required.

NOTE
l If the OAU101, OAU103 or OBU103 is configured as the optical amplifier at the receive end,
the OBU and VOA are not required.
l If the OBU101 or OBU104 is configured as the optical amplifier at the receive end and an
avalanche photodiode (APD) is configured on the WDM side of the OTU board at the receive
end, the OBU and VOA are not required.
l If the PIN photodiode is configured at the receive end, the OBU and VOA in the dashed frame
are required.

Automatic power adjustment is supported in add, drop and pass-through wavelength directions.
l In drop wavelength direction: Create the optical cross-connection from the west FIU to the
west OTU at the receive end. and set the optical power of the OUT interface of the west
OAU at the receive end to maximum output power of single wavelength. Then the system
automatically calculates and adjusts the attenuation of the VOA in each channel of the
WSD9 to ensure that the input optical power of the OTU meets the requirements in drop
wavelength.

NOTE
Automatic power adjustment can be realized when the WSD9 drops wavelength directly to the OTU
or through the MR2 or D40 to the OTU.
l In pass-through direction: Create the optical cross-connection from the west FIU to the east
FIU. Set the optical power of the OUT interface of the west OAU at the receive end to
maximum output power of single wavelength, and the rated optical power of the IN
interface of the east OAU at the transmit end to the typical input power of single wavelength.
Then the system automatically calculates and adjusts the attenuation of the VOA in each
channel of the WSD9 and WSM9 to ensure that the input optical power of the OAU at the
transmit end meets the requirements in passing through wavelength.
l In add wavelength direction: Create the optical cross-connection from the east OTU at the
transmit end to the east FIU, and set the rated optical power of the IN interface of the east
OAU at the transmit end to typical input power of single wavelength. Then the system
automatically calculates and adjusts the attenuation of the VOA in each channel of the
WSM9 to ensure that the input optical power of the OAU at the transmit end meets the
requirements in adding wavelength.
NOTE
When the OTU board directly adds/drops wavelengths or when it adds/drops wavelengths through through
the MRX board, a VOA (in the dashed frame) needs to be added before the optical amplifier at the transmit
end. When the OTU board adds wavelengths through the M40 board, the VOA is not required.

l Automatic power adjustment is supported in drop wavelength, pass-through wavelength,
add wavelength directly of the OTU, and add wavelength through the M40V board.
– In drop wavelength direction: Create the optical cross-connection from the west FIU to
the west OTU at the receive end, and set the optical power of the OUT interface of the
west OAU at the receive end to the maximum output power of single wavelength. Then
the system automatically calculates and adjusts the attenuation of the VOA in each
channel of the WSD9 to ensure that the input optical power of the OTU meets the
requirements in drop wavelength.
NOTE
Automatic power adjustment can be realized when the WSD9 drops wavelength directly to the
OTU or through the MR2 or D40 to the OTU.
– In pass-through direction: Create the optical cross-connection from the west FIU to the
east FIU. Set the optical power of the OUT interface of the west OAU at the receive
end to the maximum output power, and the rated optical power of the IN interface of
the east OAU at the transmit end to the typical input power of single wavelength. Then
the system automatically calculates and adjusts the attenuation of the VOA in each
channel of the WSD9 to ensure that the input optical power of the OAU at the transmit
end meets the requirements in passing through wavelength.
– In add wavelength directly of the OTU direction: Create the optical cross-connection
from the east OTU at the transmit end to the east FIU, and set the rated optical power
of the IN interface of the east OAU at the transmit end to the typical input power of
single wavelength. Then the system automatically calculates and adjusts the attenuation
of the VOA in each channel of the RMU9 to ensure that the input optical power of the
OAU at the transmit end meets the requirements in add wavelength.
l When wavelengths are added through the MR2/MR4/MR8 board or the M40 board, the
optical power needs to be manually adjusted.

When wavelengths are added through the M40/M40V board, an optical amplifier needs to
be configured between the TOA and ROA on the RMU9 board, and a VOA needs to be
configured between the ROA and the optical amplifier. When wavelengths are added
through the MR2/MR4/MR8 board, the TOA and the ROA interfaces of the RMU9 are
directly connected to each other by fibers.
Adjust the VOA between the OTU and the MR2, MR4, MR8 or M40 board to ensure that
the flatness of the input optical power of add wavelengths and pass-through wavelengths
on the east OAU at the transmit end meets the system requirements.
l The add wavelength signal of the RMU9 must meet a certain requirement to enable the
APE function in networking with WSD9+RMU9.
– Configure the VA1 or VA4 board between the OTU and the RMU in the case that the
OTU adds wavelength directly to the RMU9, the APE function can be realized
automatically.
– Use the M40V board in the case that the OTU adds wavelength to the RMU9 through
the multiplexer and demultiplexer boards, the APE function can be realized
automatically.
– If the VA1, VA4 and M40V are not used, the APE cannot be realized.

networking diagram for two-dimensional grooming is used as an example for illustration. The
commissioning requirements of multi-dimensional grooming are similar. Figure 3-7 shows the
diagram of networking with WSMD4+WSMD4.

NOTE
l In the diagram, the AM2/DM2 and AM3/DM3 optical interfaces of the WSMD4 board are not shown.
The two pairs of interfaces are used for signal grooming in other direction, respectively.
l The single-wavelength signals are transmitted directly to the AMn optical interface by the OTU
board.
The commissioning requirements of the WSMD4 are as follows:
l In the drop wavelength direction, manual power adjustment is required.
You need to select and configure a fixed attenuator at the IN optical interface of the OTU
board on the east and west receive end, respectively, according to the input optical power
range of the OTU board. In this way, the input optical power to the OTU board can meet
the OTU design requirement. The optical power of the VOA (in the dashed frame) between
the demultiplexer and WSMD4 should be adjusted so that the input optical power is within
the nominal input range of the optical amplifier. If the input optical power is already within
the nominal input range of the optical amplifier when the VOA is not added, the VOA is
not required.
NOTE
l If the OAU101, OAU103 or OBU103 is configured as the optical amplifier at the receive end,
the OBU and VOA are not required.
l If the OBU101 or OBU104 is configured as the optical amplifier at the receive end and an APD
module is configured on the the WDM side of OTU at the receive end, the OBU and VOA are
not required.
l If a PIN module is configured as the optical amplifier at the receive end, the OBU and VOA in
the dashed frame need to be configured.

l In pass-through direction, automatically adjusting the optical power is supported.

Create the optical cross-connection from the west FIU to the east FIU and from the east
FIU to the west FIU. The system automatically calculates and adjusts the attenuation of the
VOA in each channel of the WSMD4 to ensure that the input optical power of the OAU at
the transmit end meets the requirements of the pass-through wavelength.
l In add wavelength direction, automatically adjusting the optical power is supported.
Create the optical cross-connection from the east OTU at the transmit end to the east FIU
and from the west OTU to the west FIU. Then the system automatically calculates and
adjusts the attenuation of the VOA in each channel of the WSMD4 to ensure that the input
optical power of the OAU at the transmit end meets the requirements in adding wavelength.
NOTE
When the OTU adds/drops wavelengths directly or through the MRX, a VOA (in the solid frame)
needs to be added before the optical amplifier at the transmit end. When the OTU adds wavelengths
through the M40, the VOA is not required.
3.11 Commissioning Optical Power of the DCM

The per-channel input optical power of the DCM should not be larger than –3 dBm.
Prerequisite
Fiber connections on the DCM must be correct.

Optical spectrum analyzer, optical power meter, fiber jumper
Procedure
Step 1 Measure the input optical power of the DCM. The per-channel input optical power should not
be larger than –3 dBm.
Step 2 Measure the output optical power of the DCM.
Step 3 Calculate the DCM insertion loss. The insertion loss should be within the specification range.
DCM insertion loss = Input optical power of DCM – Output optical power of DCM

For details on the specifications of the DCM insertion loss, refer to the Product Description.
3.12 Example of Commissioning Optical Power

This section takes the Project X as an example to introduce the optical power commissioning
procedures of OTM, OLA and OADM stations.

CAUTION
Ensure that the interfaces and fibers involved in the commissioning are clean. If not, it influences
the system performance.
l All the channels must be accessed with service signals or forced to emit light before optical
power commissioning. Hence, all the OTU can emit light normally. Then start
commissioning station by station.
l Enable the performance monitoring of NEs during optical power commissioning. Compare
the value reported by the NE and the value tested by instruments. Ensure that the two values
of optical power are the same.
NOTE
The optical power queried by the T2000 is general optical power. The difference between the value and
the value tested by instruments should be within ± 1 dB.

Procedure
Step 1 Check the fiber connection of each board according to fiber connection diagram. The optical
fiber of the input interface Rx on the client side of the OTU needs to be loosely inserted.
Step 2 Access the signal of the client side on east OTU.
Step 3 Query the bar code of the front panel or manufacturing information of the board to obtain the
information of the optical module on the client side of the OTU.
Step 4 Obtain the launched optical power and information of optical module on the client side. Compare
the launched optical power of the client equipment with the received optical power on the client
side of the OTU to prepare the fixed optical attenuator beforehand.
Step 5 Test the optical power of fiber jumper of the RX interface on the client side of the OTU with an
optical power meter.
Step 6 Add the fixed optical attenuator to make the input optical power of the OTU meet the
requirements.
Step 7 If all input optical powers meet the requirements of the OTU, insert the fiber into the RX interface
of the OTU and record the input optical powers of the RX interface in the commissioning record.
Step 8 Check whether the OUT interfaces on the WDM sides of all east OTU emit light. If they do not
emit light, check whether the accessed services are normal, and whether lasers of the OTU are
open.
Step 9 Test the optical power of the OUT interface on the WDM side of the OTU with an optical power
meter.
Step 10 Test the input optical power of the Mn interface of the M40, and record the value in the
commissioning record. If the difference between the optical power of the Mn interface and the
OUT on the WDM side of the OTU exceeds 1 dB, check the routing and cleanness of the fibers.

Step 11 Connect the optical spectrum analyzer to the OUT interface of the M40 to scan the multiplexed
signal. Adjust the attenuator before the M40 to adjust the optical power flatness of add
wavelengths.
Step 12 Record the optical power of each wavelength and multiplexed signal and calculate the insertion
loss of each wavelength of the M40. Check whether the insertion loss of each wavelength meets
the requirements after passing through the M40. If the optical power is abnormal, check the fiber
connection of the Mn interface.
Step 13 Connect the optical spectrum analyzer to the fiber jumper of the IN interface on the East-
Transmit-to-West-Receive OBU1 to scan the multiplexed signal. Test the optical power of the
IN interface of the OBU1.
Step 14 Adjust the VOA connected to the output optical interface on the OTU, to ensure the flatness of
the optical power of all the wavelengths at the IN optical interface on the OBU1.
Step 15 Test the optical power of each output wavelength of the OUT interface on the OBU1 with an
optical spectrum analyzer. Check whether the mean output optical power of single wavelength
is in the standard range.
Step 16 Calculate the gain of each wavelength of the OBU1. Gain = output optical power of single
wavelength - input optical power of single wavelength. The gain flatness of single wavelength
should be less than 2.0 dB.
Step 17 Record the optical power of IN interface and OUT interface, input and output optical power,
gain of each wavelength on the OBU1.
Step 18 Query the input and output optical power of multiplexed signal of the OBU1 by the T2000. The
difference between the value on the T2000 and the test value should be less than 2.0 dB.
Step 19 Test the input optical power of the RC interface of the FIU with an optical power meter. If the
optical power difference between the RC interface of the FIU and the OUT interface of the OBU1
is more than 1 dB, check the routing and the cleanness of optical fibers.
Step 20 Test the output optical power of the OUT interface of the FIU with an optical power meter (in
the case of disconnecting the fiber to the RM interface). Calculate the insertion loss from RC to
OUT interface of the FIU. The insertion loss should be equal to or less than 1.0 dB.
Step 21 Test the output optical power of the TM2 interface on the SC2 with an optical power meter, and
then test the input optical power of the RM interface on the FIU. If the difference between the
two values is more than 1 dB, check the routing and the cleanness of the optical fibers.
Step 22 Test the output optical power of the OUT interface on the FIU with an optical power meter (in
the case of disconnecting the fiber to the RC interface). Calculate the insertion loss from RM to
Step 23 Test the output optical power on the ODF side. Compare the value with the output optical power
of the OUT interface of the FIU to check whether the fiber is correctly routed.

Procedure
Step 1 Test the optical power of the IN interface on the west FIU with an optical power meter. Compare
the value with optical power of the OUT interface on the east FIU of station A to calculate the
line attenuation between station A and station B on the line side. If the actual line attenuation is
larger than the line attenuation designed in networking, check the line attenuation to determine
whether the cable attenuation is overlarge or the fiber routing is faulty. If the cables are faulty,
clear the fault accordingly.
Step 2 Test the input optical power of the IN interface and the output optical power of the TM interface
on the west FIU at 1510nm with an optical spectrum analyzer. Record the optical power values

on the west FIU, refer to the Step 8 and Step 9 in 3.12.3 Commissioning Optical Power of
OLA.
Transmit-to-West-Receive OAU1 to scan the multiplexed signal. Record the optical power and
OSNR of each wavelength of the IN interface on the OAU1.
Step 8 Connect the optical spectrum analyzer to the fiber jumper of the OUT interface on the East-
Transmit-to-West-Receive OAU1 to scan the multiplexed signal. Adjust the gain of the OAU1
on the T2000 to commission the launched optical power of single wavelength of the OAU1 to
the maximum value.
NOTE
For the methods and requirements of gain adjustment of the OAU, refer to the 3.5 Commissioning Optical
Power of EDFA OAU Board.

Step 9 Calculate the gains of each wavelength of the OAU1. Record the input and output optical power,
gain of each wavelength, and the input and output optical power of the multiplexed signal.
Step 10 Check whether the input and output optical power of the multiplexed signal is compliant to the
typical value by the T2000.
Step 11 The tested OSNR of each received wavelength must be more than 20 dB. The other testing
indices are the same as what mentioned before.
Step 12 The commissioning method of the East-Transmit-to-West-Receive OBU and DCM is the same
as that of the OLA station. For specific procedures, refer to Step 10 through Step 12 in 3.12.3
Step 13 Connect the optical spectrum analyzer to the fiber jumper of the IN interface on the west D40
to scan the multiplexed signal. Record the input optical power of each wavelength.
Step 14 Test the output optical power of each wavelength of the Dn interface on the D40 with an optical
spectrum analyzer.
Step 15 Calculate the insertion loss of each wavelength of the D40. The insertion loss must be less than
8 dB, and the maximum difference between the insertion loss values must be less than 2.0 dB.
Step 16 Test the input optical power of the IN interface on the WDM side of the OTU. Check whether
the optical power of the IN interface on the OTU is within the standard range.
NOTE
If a PIN receiver is used on the WDM side of the OTU, no fixed optical attenuator is needed. If an APD
is used on the WDM side of the OTU, a 10 dB fixed optical attenuator needs to be added to ensure that the
input optical power of the IN interface of the OTU meets the requirements. If the optical power does not
meet the requirements, add, change or remove the fixed optical attenuator to ensure that the received optical
power is within the standard range.
Step 17 Securely insert the optical fiber into the IN interface of the OTU after the input optical power
meets the requirements.
Step 18 Test the output optical power on the client side of the OTU and the optical power of the ODF.
Compare the two values to check whether the fiber jumper on the client side is correctly
connected. The fiber attenuation must be less than 1 dB.
Step 19 Query the input and output optical power of each OTU by the T2000. The difference between
the values on the T2000 and the test values must be less than 2.0 dB. The number of error
corrections in 15-minute of the board with FEC function is required to be less than 100,000. If
the number of error corrections is comparatively large, locate the fault.
Step 20 If the client equipment accessed is new, test the 24-hour network-wide bit errors of the client
equipment. If the client equipment is not connected or not used, loop back the TX and RX
interfaces on the client sides of all OTU of station C at the ODF side. In addition, a fixed optical
attenuator needs to be added before the RX interface.

Step 7 The commissioning method of the OAU at the receive end and DCM is the same as that of the
OLA station. For details, refer to Step 10 through Step 12 in 3.12.3 Commissioning Optical
Power of OLA.
NOTE
The TDC and RDC interfaces of the OAU1 can access the DCM module. After input optical power
commissioning, set the gain to adjust the output optical power to the standard value. The tests of optical
power, gain and OSNR are the same as what mentioned before.
Step 8 Test the output optical power of the D1 and D2 interfaces on the two MR2 boards of west
respectively after commissioning the west OBU1 at the receive end. Find out the optical interface
with the largest output optical power.
Step 9 Add a fixed optical attenuator at the receive end of the OTU to adjust the input optical power of
the IN interface of the OTU to meet the requirement.
NOTE
l The optimal range of the input power of the OTU: from higher than the sensitivity value by 3 dBm to
lower than the overload value by 5 dBm.
l For the specific indexes of the OTU, refer to the Product Description.
Step 10 Insert the optical fiber into the IN interface on the WDM side of the OTU after the input optical

Step 14 Test the input optical power of the east OBU1 at the transmit end. Adjust the VOA between the
east MR2 and the west MR2 at East-Transmit-to-West-Receive to adjust the mean input optical
power of the pass-through wavelength of the IN interface on the east OBU1 at the transmit end
to the standard value.
Step 15 Test the optical power of the add wavelength of the east OTU with an optical power meter.
Step 16 Test the input optical power of the IN interface on the east OBU1 at the transmit end with an
optical spectrum analyzer. Adjust the VOA of the OTU to adjust the input optical power of the
add wavelength of the IN interface on the east OBU1 at the transmit end to the typical input

Step 19 Test the optical power of single wavelength of each output wavelength on the OUT interface of
the east OBU1 with an optical spectrum analyzer.
Step 20 Calculate the gain of each wavelength of the OBU1. Gain = output optical power of single
wavelength – input optical power of single wavelength. The gain flatness of each wavelength
should be less than 2 dB.

Procedure
Step 7 The commissioning method of west-receive OBU1 at the receive end is the same as that of the
OLA station. For details, refer to Step 12 in 3.12.3 Commissioning Optical Power of OLA.
Step 8 Set the optical power of the OUT interface of the west OBU1 at the receive end to the maximum
output power of single wavelength. Set the rated optical power of the IN interface of east OBU1
at the transmit end to the typical input power of single wavelength. Create the optical cross-
connection from the west FIU to the east FIU and that from east OTU at the transmit end to the
east FIU on the T2000.

NOTE
For the details on how to create the optical cross-connection, refer to the Configuration Guide.
Step 9 Connect the optical power meter to the fiber of IN interfaces of the west OTUs one by one.
Configure the fixed optical attenuator to ensure that the input optical power of the west OTUs
NOTE
l If a PIN module is configured as the optical amplifier at the receive end, the OBU and VOA in the
dashed frame need to be configured. If the OAU101, OAU103 or OBU103 is configured as the optical
amplifier at the receive end, the OBU and VOA are not required.
l If the OBU101 or OBU104 is configured as the optical amplifier at the receive end and an APD module
is configured on the WDM side of the OTU at the receive end, the OBU and VOA are not required;
instead, a 10 dB fixed optical attenuator needs to be configured.
l There are two types of optical receive modules: PIN and APD. The specific type can be identified
through the bar code information pasted on the front panel. For APD, there is a corresponding APD
warning identifier on the panel of the board.
Step 10 After ensuring that the optical power meets the requirements, tightly insert the fiber into the
input interface on the WDM side of the OTU.
Step 11 Test the optical power of the IN, DM and EXPO interfaces of the west ROAM with an optical
power meter, and measure the input optical power at the IN interface and the single-wavelength
output optical power at the Dn interface of the D40.
Step 12 Calculate the drop insertion loss from the IN interface to the DM interface and the pass-through
insertion loss from the IN interface to the EXPO interface of the west ROAM and the insertion
loss of the D40. The insertion loss of the D40 should be equal to or less than 6.5 dB.
NOTE
l For the ROAM board, Insertion loss = Insertion loss when the inside VOA of the board is zero + Attenuation
value of the inside VOA of the board
l When the attenuation of the inside VOA is zero, for the insertion loss of the ROAM board, refer to the
Step 13 Adjust the optical power of the add wavelengths and pass-through wavelengths of the ROAM.
The method 1 is recommended.
1. Method 1: Select Automatic related to the optical cross-connection mode on the T2000.
The ROAM automatically adjusts the optical power of the add wavelength of east OTU
and west pass-through wavelength. This ensures that the average input power of the IN
interface of the east OBU1 at the transmit end is equal to the typical input power of single
wavelength.
2. Method 2: Select Manualrelated to the optical cross-connection mode on the T2000.
Manually adjust the attenuation value of each VOA inside the ROAM board. This ensures
that the average input power of the IN interface of the east OBU1 at the transmit end is
equal to the typical input power of single wavelength.
Step 14 Test the optical power of the EXPI, Mn and OUT interfaces of the east ROAM with an optical
spectrum analyzer.
Step 15 Calculate the add insertion loss from the Mn interface to the OUT interface and the pass-through

NOTE
An OTU is a transceiver that can process transmitting signals and receiving signals for the same wavelength
at the same time.
Procedure

Step 8 Set the optical power of the OUT interface of the west OBU1 at the receive end to maximum
connections from the west FIU to west OTU at the receive end, from the west FIU to the east
FIU and from east OTU at the transmit end to the east FIU on the T2000.
NOTE
Step 9 Adjust the optical power of the west drop wavelength. The method 1 is recommended during
deployment commissioning.
The WSD9 automatically adjusts the optical power of the drop wavelength. This ensures
that the average input power of the IN interface of the west OTU at the receive end meets
the requirements.
NOTE
After the optical power is automatically adjusted, query the actual optical power at the IN optical
interface on the OAU1. If the actual power differs slightly from the power as required, use the second
method to fine tune the power.
2. Method 2: Select Manual related to the optical cross-connection mode on the T2000.
Manually adjust the attenuation value of each VOA corresponding to the drop wavelength
of the WSD9 board. This ensures that the average input power of the IN interface of the
west OTU at the receive end meets the requirements.
Step 10 Test the optical power of IN interface on the OTU. After ensuring that the optical power meets
the requirements, tightly insert the fiber into the input interface on the WDM side of the OTU.
Step 11 Adjust the optical power of the west pass-through wavelength. The method 1 is recommended
during deployment commissioning.
The WSD9 and the WSM9 automatically adjust the optical power of the west pass-through
wavelength. This ensures that the average input power of pass-through wavelengths of the
IN interface on the east OBU1 at the transmit end is equal to the typical input power of
single wavelength.
NOTE
Manually adjust the attenuation value of each VOA corresponding to the pass-through
wavelength of the WSD9 and WSM9 boards. This ensures that the average input power of
pass-through wavelengths of the IN interface on the east OBU1 at the transmit end is equal
to the typical input power of single wavelength.
Step 12 Test the output power of the IN/DMn/EXPO interface of the west WSD9 board with an optical
spectrum analyzer.

Step 13 Test the input and output optical power of D40, and calculate the insertion loss of it. The insertion
loss of the D40 board should be equal to or less than 6.5 dB.
Step 14 Calculate the drop insertion loss from the IN interface to the DMn interface and the pass-through
insertion loss from the IN interface to the EXPO interface of the east WSD9.
NOTE
VOA of the board
l When the attenuation of the inside VOA is zero, the insertion loss of the WSD9 board should be equal to or
less than 8 dB.
Step 15 Adjust the output power of the add wavelength of the east OTU. The method 1 is recommended
The WSM9 automatically adjusts the optical power of the add wavelength of the east OTU.
This ensures that the average input power of add wavelengths of the IN interface on the
east OBU1 at the transmit end is equal to the typical input power of single wavelength.
NOTE
Manually adjust the attenuation value of each VOA corresponding to the pass-through
wavelength of the WSM9 boards. This ensures that the average input power of pass-through
wavelengths of the IN interface on the east OBU1 at the transmit end is equal to the typical
input power of single wavelength.
NOTE
When the OTU adds/drops wavelengths directly or through the MRX, a VOA (in the solid frame)
needs to be added before the optical amplifier at the transmit end. When the OTU adds wavelengths
through the M40, the VOA is not required.
Step 16 Test the input and output optical power of M40, and calculate the insertion loss of it. The insertion
loss of the M40 board should be equal to or less than 6.5 dB.
Step 17 Test the optical power of the EXPI, AMn and OUT interfaces of the WSM9 with an optical
spectrum analyzer.
Step 18 Calculate each add wavelength insertion loss from the AMn interface to the OUT interface and
pass-through insertion loss from the EXPI interface to the OUT interface of the WSM9.
NOTE
l Insertion loss = Insertion loss when the inside VOA of the board is zero + Attenuation value of the
inside VOA of the board
l When the attenuation of the inside VOA is zero, the insertion loss of the WSM9 board should be equal
to or less than 8 dB.
Step 19 Test the optical power of IN interface and single wavelength of each output wavelength of the
OUT interface of the east OBU1 with an optical spectrum analyzer.

board, which should be equal to or less than 6.5 dB.
Step 12 Adjust the optical power of west pass-through wavelengths. The method 1 is recommended

OBU1 is equal to the typical input power of single wavelength.
NOTE
2. Method 2: Select Manual related to the optical cross-connection mode on the T2000. Test
the input power of east OBU1 with an optical spectrum analyzer. Manually set the
corresponding VOA of each pass-through wavelength of the west WSD9. This ensures that
the input power of single pass-through wavelength of the OBU1 is equal to the typical input
power of single wavelength.
Step 13 Test the output power of the IN/DMn/EXPO interface of the west WSD9 board with an optical
spectrum analyzer.
Step 14 Calculate the drop insertion loss from IN interface to DM interface and the pass-through insertion
loss from IN interface to EXPO interface of the WSD9 board.
NOTE
VOA of the board
l When the attenuation of the inside VOA is zero, the insertion loss of the WSD9 board should be equal to or
less than 8 dB.
Step 15 Adjust the optical power of add wavelengths of the east OTU board (the OTU is directly
connected to the RMU9 board). The method 1 is recommended during deployment
commissioning.
The RMU9 automatically adjusts the corresponding VOA of each add wavelength of each
east OTU. This ensures that the input power of single add wavelength of the OBU1 is equal
to the typical input power of single wavelength.
NOTE
2. Method 2: Select Manual related to the optical cross-connection mode on the T2000. Test
the input power of east OBU1 with an optical spectrum analyzer. Manually set the
corresponding VOA of each add wavelength of the east OTU in the east RMU9. This
ensures that the input power of single add wavelength of the OBU1 is equal to the typical
input power of single wavelength.
Step 16 As for wavelengths added through the RMU9 after the wavelengths are multiplexed by the MR4,
perform the following substeps:
1. Set the attenuation of the corresponding RMU9-imbedded VOA connected to the MR4 to
3 dB.

2. Set the VOA attenuation between the MR4 and OTU to the minimum.
3. Find out the smallest one among the input optical power values of wavelengths added
through the MR4 to the IN interface of the OBU1. Adjust the optical power of each of the
other wavelengths to this smallest value to flatten the optical power.
4. Set the attenuation of the corresponding RMU9-imbedded VOA connected to the MR4 to
obtain the typical input power of single wavelength added through the MR4.
Step 17 Test the input and output optical power of MR4, and calculate the insertion loss of it. The
insertion loss of the MR4 board should be equal to or less than 1.5 dB.

Cross-Connection from the west FIU to the east FIU and that from east OTU at the transmit end
to the east FIU on the T2000.
NOTE
The details to create the optical cross-connection, refer to the Configuration Guide.
Step 9 Connect the optical power meter to the fiber of IN interfaces of the west OTUs one by one.
Configure the fixed optical attenuator to ensure that the input optical power of the west OTUs
NOTE
l If a PIN module is configured as the optical amplifier at the receive end, the OBU and VOA in the
dashed frame need to be configured. If the OAU101, OAU103 or OBU103 is configured as the optical
amplifier at the receive end, the OBU and VOA are not required.
l If the OBU101 or OBU104 is configured as the optical amplifier at the receive end and an APD module
is configured on the WDM side of the OTU at the receive end, the OBU and VOA are not required;
instead, a 10 dB fixed optical attenuator needs to be configured.
l The previous commissioning method is for the OTU board with PIN photodiode. For the OTU with
APD, a 10 dB fixed attenuator needs to be configured.
l There are two types of optical receive modules: PIN and APD. The specific type can be identified
through the bar code information pasted on the front panel. For APD, there is a corresponding APD
warning identifier on the panel of the board.
Step 11 Test the optical power of the IN and DMn interfaces of the west WSMD4 with an optical power
meter. And test the output optical power of the D40.
Step 12 Calculate the drop insertion loss from the IN interface to the DMn interfaces of the west WSMD4
and the insertion loss of the D40. The insertion loss of the D40 should be equal to or less than
6.5 dB.
NOTE
l For the WSMD4 board, insertion loss = insertion loss when the inside attenuation is zero + the
attenuation value of the inside VOA of the board.
l When the attenuation of the inside VOA is zero, for the insertion loss of the WSMD4 board, refer to
the Product Description.
Step 13 Adjust the optical power of the add wavelengths and pass-through wavelengths of the WSMD4.
The method 2 is recommended. Method 2 is recommended during deployment commissioning.

The WSMD4 automatically adjust the optical power of the add wavelength of the east OTU
and the west pass-through wavelength. This ensures that the average input power of pass-
through wavelengths of the IN interface on the east OAU1 at the transmit end is equal to
the typical input power of single wavelength.
NOTE
2. Method 2: Select Manualrelated to the optical cross-connection mode on the T2000.

3.13 Example of Commissioning Optical Power Based on

40Gbit/s Single-Wavelength System
This section describes how to commission the single-channel 40G (hereinafter referred to as
40G) OTM and OLA, stations.
CAUTION
Ensure that the optical interfaces and fibers involved in the commissioning are clean. Otherwise,
the system performance will be affected.
NOTE
When commissioning the optical power, ensure that all channels configured for the project access service
signals, or that the WDM side is forced to emit light. Hence, all the OTU can emit light normally. Then,
start the commissioning station by station.

NOTE
The optical power queried on the T2000 is general optical power. The difference between the value and
the value tested by instruments should be within 1 dB.
3.13.1 Description of the Example

The commissioning of the 40G system imposes higher requirements, compared with the
commissioning of low-rate service line. In this example, the system to be commissioned is a
long haul 40G link.
This section considers direction 1 as an example to describe how to commission the optical
power at the transmit end of the OTM. The objective of commissioning is to ensure that the total
transmit optical power meets the specification requirement and the optical power flatness of
every wavelength is realized.
In the case of the OLA station, you need to commission only the total optical power in terms of
optical power commissioning.
The commissioning rule of the OTM station is that "commission the optical power at the transmit
end based on the optical power at the receive end". At the receive end of the OTM station, you
need to commission only the total input optical power. Then, adjust the attenuation of every
wavelength of the M40 at the transmit end according to the optical power flatness at the receive
end.
3.13.1 Description of the Example

The commissioning of the 40G system imposes higher requirements, compared with the
commissioning of low-rate service line. In this example, the system to be commissioned is a
long haul 40G link.

Commissioning Rules
The following rules must be observed when you commission the 40G system:
l In the case of the commissioning of the 40G system, an optical spectrum analyzer must be
used in the commissioning to ensure that the optical power is commissioned precisely.
l The objective of 40G system commissioning is to commission the receive OSNR flatness
of a multiplex section to ±1 dB and to make sure that the optical power flatness at each
station is less than ±1.5dB.
l During the equalization of the system optical power, the actual incident optical power of
every section cannot deviate from the typical incident optical power over ±2 dB regardless
of the fiber type. Otherwise, the system performance degrades quickly and the BER before
FEC increases rapidly.

l The optical power at the IN optical interface on the 40 OTU board_caps should be within
the range from –8 dBm to –3 dBm.
l The objective of the system commissioning is to ensure the optical power flatness and the
OSNR flatness. When the difference between the OSNR flatness and optical power flatness
is small, the system OSNR flatness can be obtained by maintaining the optical power
flatness.
l In the case of 40G system commissioning, adjust the optical power of each wavelength at
the transmit end to make it flat. Then, adjust the optical power difference between each
wavelength at each two equilibrium stations (stations that balance the optical power,
including ROADM, back-to-back OADM, and back-to-back OTM ) to a value not more
than 0.5 dB. If the spacing between two equilibrium stations is less than or equal to four
spans, you only need to adjust the output optical power difference of equilibrium stations
at the transmit end to 0.5 dB.
l When commissioning the 40G ODB 80-channel system, test the signal power and OSNR
of the even wavelengths by shutting down the odd wavelengths and then test the signal
power and OSNR of the odd wavelengths by shutting down the even wavelengths.
l When the 10G signal and the 40G signal are mixed in transmission, the general
commissioning method is same as that for 40G system commissioning. When the 10G
signal is adjacent to the 40G signal, however, make sure that the optical power of the 10G
signal is not more than nominal power of a single wavelength. Under the condition that the
10G signal is stable for a long time, commission the power of the 10G signal to a value 1
dB less than the power of the adjacent 40G signal.
l In the mixed spectrum of the 40G signal and the 10G signal, the spectrum of 40G signal is
wider and its amplitude is lower than that of the 10G signal. Actually, the power of the 10G
signal, however, is equal to the power of the 40G signal. Thus, measure optical power of
the 40G wavelength and the 10G wavelength accurately, Figure 3-22 shows the mixed
optical spectrum.

Figure 3-22 Mixed optical spectrum of 40G signals and 10G signals
10G signals
40G signals
TIP
When the system has more than 20 spans, the noise signal of the short wavelengths increases and there is
a great difference between OSNR flatness and optical power flatness. Thus, during the extra long-haul 40G
transmission, avoid using short wavelengths. If short wavelengths must be used, you need to take into
account the OSNR limits of the short wavelengths when planning the network.
Commissioning Procedure
Table 3-1 Commissioning stations reference list

Station Commissioning Method and Fiber Connection Diagram
A Refer to 3.13.2 Commissioning Optical Power of OTM Transmit End
B,C Refer to 3.13.3 Commissioning Optical Power of OLA
D Refer to 3.13.4 Commissioning Optical Power of OTM Receive End
For the commissioning method of each station in project H and the fiber connection diagram of
each station, refer to Table 3-1. The commissioning is performed in two directions:

Direction 1：A→B→C→D
Direction 2：D→C→B→A
Because the commissioning in the two directions are performed in a similar way, only the
commissioning in direction 1 is described.
CAUTION
Before the OptiX OSN 6800 is connected to the line fiber in each station, you must:
l Test the span loss to ensure the value is in accordance with the requirement of the
engineering design.
l Test the transmission distance of the line signals to ensure the value is in accordance with
the requirement of the engineering design.
l Check the type of the line fiber to ensure the value is in accordance with the requirement
of the engineering design.
If any one of the above conditions is not met, the system commissioning will be affected. Thus,
when the above conditions are not met, give feedback to the construction party who is in charge
to solve the problem.
NOTE
The fibers between the FIU and ODF subrack, the fibers between the LSXL and client equipment and the
fibers between cabinets are all external fibers that should be routed on site.

This section considers direction 1 as an example to describe how to commission the optical
power at the transmit end of the OTM. The objective of commissioning is to ensure that the total
transmit optical power meets the specification requirement and the optical power flatness of
every wavelength is realized.
Prerequisite
The fiber connections must be correct.
All channels must be accessed with services or must be forced to emit light, to make the OTU
emits light normally.

Optical spectrum analyzer, Optical power meter, Fiber jumper, Flange, Fixed optical attenuator,
Variable optical attenuator
In this example, the specifications of the hardware are as follows:
l G.655 fiber is used as the line optical fiber.
l At the OTM station, the WDM-side optical module supports DRZ 100 GHz.

l In the 40x40G system, ten wavelengths are added.

l The OAU1 type is TN11OAU103 and the OBU1 type is TN11OBU103.
NOTE
When the 40G ODB system is used, a dual-module ITL board_caps must be configured at the transmit and
receive ends. If certain OADM stations add/drop ODB wavelengths (wavelengths with 100 GHz channel
spacing), a dual-module ITL board_caps also must be used at the transmit and receive ends. In the case of the
ROADM stations with 50 GHz channel spacing, no ITL board_caps is required because the 50 GHz WSS module
provides the 50 GHz filter function.

Procedure
Step 1 Check if the fiber connection between boards is correct based on the fiber connection diagram
and if the fiber on each board is inserted properly. If not, correct the error immediately.
Step 2 Access real service signals on the client sides of all OTU board_caps.
Step 3 Obtain the information on the optical module of the OTU by observing the bar code on the front
panel or the board manufacturing information.
Step 4 Ask the equipment engineer of the customer to provide the transmitting optical power and the
optical module type of the equipment. Compare the optical power with the receiving optical
power on the client side of the OTU to determine if the fixed attenuator should be adjusted.
Record the receiving optical power on the client side of the OTU.
In the case of Project H, the receiving optical power of the client-side OTU (the input optical
power of the client-side LSXL interfaces) must be within the range from –5 dBm to +3 dBm
(LSXL).
Step 5 Check whether the WDM-side OUT interfaces on all OTUs emit lights or not. If not,

l Check whether the accessed SDH/SONET services are normal or not. If not, clear the fault
first.
l Check whether the OTU having no services emits light and whether the laser on the OTU
is open or not. If not, refer to 3.2.1 Forcing the OTU Board to Emit Light to force the
OTU to emit light and to open the laser.
Step 6 Test the output optical power of the OUT interface on the OTU. In the case of LSXL, the value
must be within the range from 0 dBm to –5 dBm and is –3 dBm normally.
Step 7 Test the receiving optical power of the Mn interface of the M40 and record the value.
NOTE
Mn refers to the interfaces M31–M40 that are used in this example.

If the difference between the optical power and the optical power of the OUT interface on the OTU is
greater than 1 dB, check the fiber routing and clean the fiber.
Step 8 Pre-adjust the attenuation of the Variable optical attenuator attached to the M40 to +3 dB to
facilitate the fine tuning of the attenuation in the subsequent steps.
Step 9 Connect the optical spectrum analyzer to the OUT optical interface on the M40 by using a fiber
jumper. Scan the M40 to output multiplexed signals and record the optical power of every
wavelength and the multiplexed optical power. Then, calculate the wavelength insertion loss of
the M40 to check whether the wavelength insertion loss of the M40 meets the specification
requirement.
NOTE
When calculating the wavelength insertion loss of the M40, note that the attenuation of the M40 is pre-
adjusted to +3 dB.
If the detected output optical power is abnormal, check whether optical interfaces M31–M40 are connected
improperly.
Step 10 Connect the fiber jumper that needs to be connected to the IN optical interface on the OBU1 to
an optical power meter. Adjust the attenuation of the optical attenuator attached to the IN optical
interface on the OBU to ensure that the total input optical power of the OBU is about –9 dBm.
NOTE
According to the commissioning rules, commission the total input optical power of the signals to ensure
that the total optical power meets the specification requirement . Then, ensure the optical power flatness
of every wavelength so that the single-wavelength optical power meets standards. The total input optical
power is calculated based on the nominal single-wavelength optical power. The calculation formula is as
follows: Total input optical power = Nominal single-wavelength input optical power + 10logN (N equals
10). If the nominal single-wavelength input optical power is -19dBm, the input total optical power is -9
dBm.
Step 11 Test the output optical power at the OUT optical interface on the OBU1, and ensure that the
total output optical power of the multiplexed wavelengths reaches about +14 dBm.
NOTE
The fixed gain of the TN11OBU103 is 23 dB. In the case, the input optical power of the IN interface on
the OBU1 is -9dBm, so the output optical power of the OUT interface is ＋ 14dBm.
NOTE
The nominal single-wavelength input optical power of the G.655 fiber is +4 dBm, and the maximal single-
wavelength input optical power should be not more than +5.5 dBm.
You can obtain the total output optical power by using the following formula: Total output optical power =
Single-wavelength output optical power + 10logN (N equals 10).

Step 12 Connect the OUT optical interface on the OBU1 to the optical spectrum analyzer to query the
optical power of every wavelength. Adjust the wavelength attenuation of the Variable optical
attenuator attached to the M40 so that the output optical power flatness is about 0.5 dB.
Step 13 Use an optical power meter to test the optical power at the RC interface of the FIU board_caps
and record the test result.
NOTE
If the difference between the optical power at the RC interface and the optical power at the OUT interface
on the OBU1 is greater than 1 dB, check the fiber routing and clean the fibers.
Step 14 Test the optical power of the OUT interface on the FIU (in the case of disconnecting the fiber
to the RM interface), and determine the RC-OUT insertion loss.
RC-OUT insertion loss on the FIU = Input optical power of the RC on the FIU – Optical power
of the OUT on the FIU
Step 15 Test the output optical power of the TM interface on the SC1 with an optical power meter, and
then test the input optical power of the RM interface on the FIU. If the difference between the
two values is more than 1 dB, check the routing and the cleanness of the optical fibers.
Step 16 Test the output optical power of the OUT interface on the FIU with an optical power meter (in
the case of disconnecting the fiber to the RC interface). Calculate the insertion loss from RM to

In the case of the OLA station, you need to commission only the total optical power in terms of
optical power commissioning.

Procedure
Step 1 Test the optical power of the IN interface on the west FIU with an optical power meter. Compare
the value with optical power of the OUT interface on the east FIU of station A to calculate the
line attenuation between station A and station B on the line side. If the actual line attenuation is
larger than the line attenuation designed in networking, check the line attenuation to determine
whether the cable attenuation is overlarge or the fiber routing is faulty. If the cables are faulty,
clear the fault accordingly.
Step 2 Test the input optical power of the IN interface and the output optical power of the TM interface
on the west FIU at 1510nm with an optical spectrum analyzer. Record the optical power values
in the commissioning record.
Step 3 Calculate the insertion loss from the IN interface to the TM interface of the west FIU. The
Step 4 Test the input optical power of the RM1 interface with an optical spectrum analyzer. Add a
proper attenuator to make the input power less than –3dB.
Step 5 Test the output optical power of the TM2 interface of the SC2 with an optical spectrum analyzer.
Record the input optical power of the RM1 interface and the output optical power of the TM2
interface in the commissioning record.
Step 6 Test the input optical power of the RM interface and the output optical power of the OUT
interface on the east FIU at 1510nm with an optical spectrum analyzer. Record the optical power
values in the commissioning record.
Step 7 Calculate the insertion loss from the RM interface to the OUT interface on the east FIU. The

Step 8 Test the input optical power of the IN interface and the output optical power of the TC interface
on the west FIU at a certain wavelength with an optical spectrum analyzer. Record the optical
Step 9 Calculate the insertion loss from the IN interface to the TC interface on the west FIU. The
Step 10 Connect the fiber jumper that needs to be connected to the IN optical interface on the west OAU1
to an optical power meter. Adjust the attenuation of the optical attenuator attached to the IN
optical interface on the OAU1 to ensure that the total input optical power of the OAU1 is about
–10 dBm.
NOTE
According to the commissioning rules, commission the total input optical power of the signals to ensure
that the total input optical power meets the specification requirement. Then, ensure the optical power
flatness of every wavelength so that the single-wavelength optical power meets the specification
requirement. The total input optical power is calculated based on the nominal single-wavelength optical
power. The calculation formula is as follows: Total input optical power = Nominal single-wavelength input
optical power + 10logN (N equals 10). If the nominal single-wavelength input optical power is -20 dBm,
the input total optical power is -10 dBm.
Step 11 Query the output optical power at the OUT optical interface on the west OAU1, and then adjust
the gain of the OAU1 on the T2000 to ensure that the total output optical power of the multiplexed
wavelengths reaches about +14 dBm.
NOTE
The nominal single-wavelength input optical power of the G.655 fiber is +4 dBm. and the maximal single-
wavelength input optical power should be not more than +5.5 dBm.
The total output optical power of the multiplexed wavelengths can be obtained by using the following formula:
Total output optical power = Nominal single-wavelength output optical power + 10logN (N equals 10).
Step 12 Test the input and output optical power of the DCM and calculate the DCM insertion loss.
DCM insertion loss = DCM input optical power – DCM output optical power
Step 13 Use an optical power meter to test the optical power of the RC interface on the FIU and record
the value.
NOTE
If the difference between the optical power and the optical power of the OUT interface on the OAU is
greater than 1 dB, check the fiber routing and clean the fiber.
Step 14 Test the optical power of the OUT interface on the east FIU (in the case of disconnecting the
fiber to the RM interface) and calculate the RC-OUT insertion loss.
RC-OUT insertion loss on the FIU = Input optical power of the RC on the FIU – Optical power
of the OUT on the FIU
----End

The commissioning rule of the OTM station is that "commission the optical power at the transmit
end based on the optical power at the receive end". At the receive end of the OTM station, you
need to commission only the total input optical power. Then, adjust the attenuation of every
wavelength of the M40 at the transmit end according to the optical power flatness at the receive
end.

Procedure
Step 1 Check if the fiber connection between boards is correct based on the fiber connection diagram
and if the fiber on each board is well inserted. If not, correct the error immediately.

Step 2 Test the optical power of the FIU and the SC1 by referring to 3.13.2 Commissioning Optical
Power of OTM Transmit End.
Step 3 Perform the commissioning on the OAU1 by referring to 3.13.3 Commissioning Optical Power
of OLA.
Step 4 Connect the fiber jumper which is to be inserted into the IN interface of the D40 to optical
spectrum analyzer. Scan the multiplexed signal and record the optical power of each channel.
Step 5 Connect the optical spectrum analyzer to the fiber jumper of the IN interface on the west D40
to scan the multiplexed signal. Record the input optical power of each wavelength.
Step 6 Test the output optical power of each wavelength of the Dn interface on the D40 with an optical
spectrum analyzer.
Step 7 Calculate the insertion loss of each wavelength of the D40. The insertion loss must be less than
8 dB, and the maximum difference between the insertion loss values of each wavelength of the
D40 must be less than 2.0 dB.
Step 8 Test the input and output optical power of the DCM and then obtain the insertion loss of the
DCM by using the following formula:
Insertion loss of the DCM = Input optical power of the DCM – Output optical power of the
DCM.
Step 9 Test the input optical power of the IN interface on the WDM side of the OTU. Check whether
the optical power of the IN interface on the OTU is within the standard range.
NOTE
The input optical power on the WDM side of the LSXL board must be within the range from -14 dBm to
-2 dBm. In practical applications, you should adjust the input optical power to a higher level. The range
from -8 dBm to -3 dBm is recommended. If the test results do not meet the specification requirement, you
need to add, replace, or remove a/the fixed optical attenuator according to the test results so that the receive
optical power of the OTU board is within the normal range.
Step 10 Securely insert the optical fiber into the IN interface of the OTU after the input optical power
Step 11 Test the output optical power on the client side of the OTU and the optical power of the ODF.
Compare the two values to check whether the fiber jumper on the client side is correctly
connected. The fiber attenuation must be less than 1 dB.
Step 12 Query the input and output optical power of each OTU by the T2000. The difference between
the values on the T2000 and the test values must be less than 2.0 dB. The system OSNR flatness
must be around ±1 dB after the commissioning. If the optical power equalization of every
wavelength is adjusted normal, test the OSNR on the optical spectrum analyzer. The OSNR
tested should be meet the specification of the equipment. And the OSNR flatness of every
wavelength should be ensured. In addition, check whether the TDCM is adjusted to the optimal
value and whether the bit error rate conforms to the expected value.
Step 13 If the client equipment accessed is new, test the 24-hour network-wide bit errors of the client
equipment. If the client equipment is not connected or not used, loop back the TX and RX
interfaces on the client sides of all OTU of station C at the ODF side. In addition, a fixed optical
attenuator needs to be added before the RX interface.

of OLA and 3.13.4 Commissioning Optical Power of OTM Receive End shows the commissioning
process for the optical multiplex section. The commissioning of the multiplex sections at OTM and OLA
stations is similar.

4.2.9 Testing the Cross-Subrack or Cross-NE DBPS and MS SNCP

Protection Switching
This topic describes the testing procedure for the DBPS and MS SNCP protection switching. In
this topic, the service between station A and station C in a ring that consists of three stations is
considered as an example.
Prerequisite
An MS SNCP protection group and a DBPS protection group must be configured at station A
(or subrack m).
An MS SNCP protection group and a DBPS protection group must be configured at station B
(or subrack n).

An SW SNCP protection group must be configured at station C.

A service path is configured between the GE port (TX2/RX2) of the L4G board at station C and
the GE port (TX1/RX1) of the TBE board at station A for observation. See Figure 4-9.
NOTE
The signal flow of the service path is as follows: The DSLAM forwards the service data from the BRAS
to another GE port (TX2/RX2) of the L4G. The service data is output through the GE port (IN/OUT) for
transmission over the line after the electrical cross-connection is performed. Then, the GE port (IN/OUT)
of the L4G at station A receives the service data. The service data is output through the GE port (TX1/
RX1) of the TBE1 board after the electrical cross-connection is performed. For the configuration of the
electrical cross-connection, refer to the Configuration Guide.
The fiber connections among station A, station B and station C must be complete.

T2000, SmartBits (SMB), optical fiber, flange
The cross-subrack (or cross-NE) DBPS protection must work with the MS SNCP protection.

7. Select By Board/Port (Path), and click the Advanced Attributes tab.
8. Set the optical power of the pump laser to the recommended value in the Fixed Pump
Optical Power. For details, refer to the following description.
NOTE
The on-off gain of each channel must be greater than 10 dB, which is required by the reverse Raman
amplifier. The gain medium of the reverse Raman amplifier is transmission fiber, so the gain value
depends on the type, length and attenuation of the transmission fiber. If the gain values are required
to be the same, different fibers should correspond to different optical power of pumps. Set the initial
optical power of the Raman amplifier during network commissioning to the optical power values in
the following table.
Table A-1 Recommended optical power values of Raman pump of different fibers.
P1(Optical Power of Pump P2(Optical Power of Pump

Fiber Type Group 1) Group 2)
G.652/ G.655 24.0 dBm 24.0 dBm
G.653 23.0 dBm 22.5 dBm

analyzer. Scan the spectrum and obtain the actual signal optical power and record it.
11. Calculate the on-off gain of SYS port by using the following formula:
SYS on-off gain = MON output power (CRPC laser enabled) + 20 – SYS output power
(CRPC laser disabled)
NOTE
This gain value should be 1 dB greater than the actual gain value.
Issue 01 (2008-08-01) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential A-3

A Commissioning CRPC Board Commissioning Guide
12. If the on-off gain is smaller than 10 dB, you can properly increase the optical power of the
two groups of pumps. Increase the optical power of both groups of pumps by 0.1 dB
respectively at a time till the minimum on-off gain of each channel is greater than 10 dB.
Note that no PUM_BCM_ALM alarm should occur under the set pump optical power. If
this alarm occurs, the pump optical power set is excessive and must be decreased. If this
alarm occurs while the gain does not reach 10 dB, shut down the pump lasers and check
the fibers. Replace the fibers if necessary.
Step 6 Adjusting the pump power to ensure that the gain spectrum meets the requirement
After adjusting the on-off gain to 10 dB, compare whether the gain flatness of each wavelength
is within 3 dB or not. If yes, the gain flatness requires no adjustment.
If the gain flatness of each wavelength exceeds 3 dB, adjust the pump optical power according
to the Raman gain spectrum to improve the gain flatness. Perform as follows:
1. Find the wavelengths of the highest and lowest gains.
2. If the shortwave gain is low, increase the optical power of pump laser group 1 to elevate
the shortwave gain or decrease the optical power of pump laser group 2 to lower the long-
wave gain. Adjust the pump optical power in steps of 0.1 dB till the optical power difference
meets the requirement that the gain flatness of each wavelength is within 3 dB.
3. If the shortwave gain is high, decrease the optical power of pump laser group 1 to lower
the shortwave gain or increase the optical power of pump laser group 2 to elevate the long-
wave gain. Adjust the pump optical power in steps of 0.1 dB till the optical power difference
meets the requirement that the gain flatness of each wavelength is within 3 dB.
4. Retest the on-off gains to check whether the on-off gain of each wavelength is greater than
10 dB or not. If not, increase the optical power of both pump laser groups 1 and 2 in steps
of 0.1 dB till the on-off gain of each wavelength is greater than 10 dB.
NOTE
After step (3), the pump optical power is changed. As a result, the on-off gains need be retested. If the on-
off gain of any wavelength is smaller than 10 dB (or the specified in section 1.2.8), the optical power of
both pump laser groups 1 and 2 need be increased to meet the gain requirement on the basis of that the
difference between P1 and P2 must not be changed. Add 0.1 dB to P1 and P2 each time until the gain of
all channels is more than 10 dB.

The IP address consists of four bytes in the decimal format, for example, 129.9.161.55.
IPA Intelligent Power Adjustment. The technology that the system reduces the optical power
of all the amplifiers in an adjacent regeneration section in the upstream to a safety level
if the system detects the loss of optical signals on the link. The loss of optical signals
may due to the fiber is broken, the performance of equipments trend to be inferior or the
connector is not plugged well. Thus, the maintenance engineers are not hurt by the laser
being sent out from the slice of broken fiber.
L
Label A mark on a cable, a subrack, or a cabinet for identification.
Laser The device that generates the directional light covering a narrow range of wavelengths.
Laser light is more coherent than ordinary light. Semiconductor diode lasers are the used
light source in fiber-optic system.

Mapping The process by which tributary signals are adapted into the corresponding virtual
container at the PDH/SDH edge.
MO Managed Object. The management view of a resource within the telecommunication
environment that may be managed via the agent. Examples of SDH managed objects
are: equipment, receive port, transmit port, power supply, plug-in card, virtual container,
multiplex section, and regenerator section.
N
NE A network unit, including the hardware and software. Normally a network unit has at
least one SCC board, which manages and monitors the entire network unit. NE software
runs on the SCC board.
Network segment Consists of the network components that provide a virtual connection between two circuit
sections. The network provider is responsible for the performance of the network section.
O
OADM Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer. A device that can be used to add the optical signals of
various wavelengths to one channel and drop the optical signals of various wavelengths
from one channel.
ODF Optical Distribution Frame. A frame which is used to transfer and spool fibers.
ODF Optical Distribution Frame. A frame which is used to transfer and spool fibers.
OLA A piece of equipment that functions as an OLA to directly amplify the input optical
signals and to compensate for the line loss. Currently, the key component of the OLA is
the EDFA amplifier.
OLP A protection mechanism that adopts dual fed and selective receiving principle and single-
ended switching mode. In this protection, two pairs of fibers are used. One pair of fibers
forms the working route. The working route transmits line signals when the line is
normal. The other pair of fibers forms the protection route. The protection route carries
line signals when the line is broken or the signal attenuation is extremely large.
ONE Optical Network Element. An independent physical entity in an optical transmission
network. An ONE provides the functions that are similar to an NE. The ONE can be an
OTM, OLA, or OADM. One ONE can consist of multiple NEs.
Optical Amplifier A device or subsystem in which optical signals are amplified by means of photon energy
transfer.

Optical attenuator A passive device that increases the attenuation in a fiber link. It is used to ensure that the
optical power of the signals received at the receive end is not extremely high. It is
available in two types: fixed attenuator and variable attenuator.
Optical spectrum An instrument that scans the spectrum to record power, measures the value of loss
analyzer insertion and tests the performance of the wavelength and optical signal noise ratio
(OSNR) of each channel.
Optical wavelength In the optical wavelength shared protection (OWSP), the service protection between
shared protection different stations can be achieved by using the same wavelength, realizing wavelength
sharing. This saves the wavelength resources and lowers the cost. The optical wavelength
shared protection is mainly applied to the ring network which is configured with
distributed services. It is achieved by using the OWSP board. In a ring network where
services are distributed at adjacent stations, each station requires one OWSP board. Then,
two wavelengths are enough for configuring the shared protection to protect one service
among stations.
Orderwire The link that provides voice communication between stations for operators or
maintenance engineers.
OSC Optical Supervisory Channel. A technology realizes communication among nodes in
optical transmission network and transmits the monitoring data in a certain channel (the
wavelength of the working channel for it is 1510 nm and that of the corresponding
protection one is 1625 nm).
OSNR Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio. Ratio of the optical power of the transmitted optical signal
to the noise on the received signal.
OTU Optical Transponder Unit. A device or subsystem that converts the accessed client signals
into the G.694.1/G.694.2-compliant WDM wavelength.
Output optical power The ranger of optical energy level of output signals.
P
Pass-Through A mode in which the transmission equipment directly forwards the received services to
the next station and the local station only detects the signal quality.
PIN Photodiode. A semiconductor detector with an intrinsic (i) region separating the p- and
n-doped regions. It has fast linear response and is used in fiber-optic receivers.
Pointer An indicator whose value defines the frame offset of a virtual container with respect to
the frame reference of the transport entity on which it is supported.
Power box A direct current power distribution box at the upper part of a cabinet, which supplies
power for the subracks in the cabinet.
R
Receiver sensitivity Receiver sensitivity is defined as the minimum acceptable value of average received
power at point R to achieve a 1 x 10-12 BER.
Ring network One type of network that all network nodes are connected one after one to be a cycle.

S
SD Signal Degrade. A signal that indicates the associated data has degraded in the sense that
a degraded defect condition is active.
Service protection A measure that ensures that the services can be received at the receive end.
Settings Parameters of an operation that can be selected by the user.
SF Signal Fail. A signal that indicates the associated data has failed in the sense that a near-
end defect condition (non-degrade defect) is active.
Side panel The panel on the side of the cabinet.
Subnet The logical entity in the transmission network and comprises a group of network
management objects. A subnet can contain NEs and other subnets. A subnet planning
can enhance the organization of a network view.
Support The frame on the bottom of a cabinet, when installing the cabinet on the antistatic floor.
T
T2000 A network management system that Huawei provides to manage transmission networks.
The T2000 is located between the NE level and the network level in the
telecommunication management network structure. That is, the T2000 is a subnetwork
management system. The T2000 provides all management functions at the NE layer and
some of the management functions at the network layer.
T2000-LCT A simplified version of the T2000. The T2000-LCT is located at the NE management
layer in an optical transmission network. It can manage SDH and WDM series optical
transmission equipment.
TCP/IP One of the key protocols in the Internal protocol suite. The hosts that connect to each
other through the TCP protocol can create connection between each other and exchange
data. The TCP protocol ensures that the data can be transmitted from the transmitter to
the receiver in a reliable and orderly manner. The TCP can also distinguish data for the
concurrent applications on the same host.
U
User The user of the T2000 client, and the user and password define the corresponding
authority of operation and management of the T2000.
W
Washer A washer which is used to level the cabinet.
WTR Wait to Restore. This command is issued when working channels meet the restoral
threshold after an SD or SF condition. It is used to maintain the state during the WTR
period unless it is pre-empted by a higher priority bridge request.
