SDH System Test Procedure

The purpose is to ensure the SDH equipment we provided works well and
customers can plug and play, we will do test of hardware malfunction,
boards compatibility with the system and quality problems before shipping.

There are various SDH equipment dealers in the market, but lots of them
source equipment from someplace and sell to overseas customers directly, they
don’t even have the test environment and technical capacity to test equipment,
which may lead to abnormal work of the SDH board received by customers(SDH board
failed, optical module has no luminous power etc.) For the purpose of avoiding
this situation, we will have a comprehensive test before storage and delivery.

Procedure
1. Choose HUAWEI OSN 1500B for testing, power on the OSN 1500B
2. Connect computer and the ETH port on OSN 1500B by a ETH cable
3. Turn on the computer, add IP 129.9.0.1
4. Open Navigator, search the IP address of OSN 1500B, then login Navigator. Use
command :ver to check the NE ID of the OSN 1500B.

For example, the NE ID of this OSN 1500B is 9-258

5. Run the :cm-set-gateway: 129.9.0.254 command to set up gateway

6. In Navigater, you can use below 4 commands to obtain specific information of
each board (Boards information can also be obtained in U2000)
:cfg-get-phybd
:cfg-get-bdinfo:12
:cfg-get-bdverinfo:12
:cfg-get-bdversion:12
7. Close Navigater, delete the IP address ‘129.9.0.1’. Unplug the ETH cable
which connected to the computer and connect it to a Switch.
8. Open the U2000 client, double click Main Topology to enter in the topology
and right click to add a new NE

9. Create NE window pops up. Fill in the NE ID, and choose Gateway for Gateway
type
10. Enter password. Click OK
11. After few seconds, a new icon of OSN 1500B equipment appears on the screen.
12. Double click the new icon NE(9-258), select Upload. OSN 1500B successfully
added on U2000 when upload is complete.
After the equipment is successfully added on U2000, there will be an alarm on
the U2000 if boards have compatibility problem, quality problem, etc. But for
the service board, the R_LOS alarm is normal when optical modules on service
board are not connected by optical fiber.

However, it cannot be determined by indicator glint normal, no alarm on U2000

that the service board has no problem. We also need to check every optical
modules TX power via Board Manufacturer Information.

Therefore, care must be taken when purchasing SDH service boards. Besides
appearance inspection, inserting board into device to check optical module is
necessary before purchase.

Huawei SDH system is very important part in the internet transmission layer, any
failure or malfunction of hardware, will cause even more loss. By view of this,
tests of system compatibility and SDH board are indispensable. To guarantee
customers’ benefits, we will do a comprehensive test for SDH system as above
procedures, which realizes plug-and-play in a real sense.
