OptiX OSN 1800

3 Preparations
3.1 Preparing Documents

For a deployment of the OptiX OSN 1800 equipment, you need to prepare documents, including
station bar code return table, engineering design documents, and product manuals, according to
the actual project.
Station Bar Code Return Table

The station bar code return table is used to collect the bar codes of the sets of equipment installed
at a station.
After all sets of equipment at a station are installed, you need to record the bar codes of the
equipment in the station bar code return table. The station bar code return table shows the
mapping relationships between bar codes and station names. Therefore, it must be kept properly
for future identifying the station where an NE is located when the ID and name of the NE are
changed according to the customer planning.
Engineering Design Documents

The engineering design documents are important inputs for equipment commissioning.
Generally, the following contents are covered:
l
Network diagrams: describe the module types, number of add and drop wavelengths, NE
types and quantity, and NE IDs of each station, distance between adjacent stations, line
attenuation between stations, and network topology.
Amplifier configuration diagrams: describe the amplifier configuration and line attenuation

3.2 Preparing Tools, Meters, and Materials

You are recommended to use the Web LCT for the commissioning and configuration of the
OptiX OSN 1800 equipment. The version of the commissioning tool must match the equipment
version.
Commissioning Tool
You can use either the T2000 or the Web LCT for the commissioning and configuration of the
OptiX OSN 1800 equipment.
Compared with the T2000, the Web LCT has lower requirements on the computer hardware and
can be started quickly. Therefore, the Web LCT is recommended at the commissioning and
configuration phases. The Web LCT, however, does not support query or configuration of
network-level functions. Therefore, the query and configuration of network-level functions must
be performed on the T2000.
You can log in to the Web site http://support.huawei.com to download the required version of
the T2000 and Web LCT. The path is Software Center > Version Software > Optical Network
Product Line > Optical Network Management System.
NOTE
The versions of the T2000 and Web LCT must match the version of the equipment. For the matching
product versions of this document, see About This Document.
NOTE
When you use the T2000 for the commissioning and configuration, you must be an NM user with "NE
operator" authority or higher.
Commissioning Meters
An optical power meter and an optical spectrum analyzer are mainly used for optical power
commissioning. The optical spectrum analyzer may be used only for commissioning of a network
that is configured with optical amplifier (OA) boards.
The optical power meter can be used for testing the total optical power of multiplexed signals
and optical power of the optical transponder unit (OTU) boards. The optical spectrum analyzer
can be used for testing the optical power, optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), and center
wavelength of a single wavelength of the multiplexed signals.
You are required to test the optical power of a single wavelength of the multiplexed signals by
using the optical spectrum analyzer because the test result is more accurate and the impact of
the noise does not need to be considered. The meters must be calibrated before being used.

4 Commissioning Optical Power
Commissioning Optical Power
About This Chapter

The optical power must be first commissioned in the deployment commissioning to ensure
normal communication between all NEs and normal optical power received by each board.
If the actual line attenuation is consistent with the design attenuation, the optical power is
supposed to be within the normal range after the hardware installation engineers install the FOAs
correctly according to the engineering design documents.
4.1 Commissioning a System Without Optical Amplifiers
When commissioning a system without optical amplifiers (OAs), pay attention to the receive
optical power of OTU boards.
4.2 Commissioning a System with Optical Amplifiers
When commissioning the optical power of a system with optical amplifiers (OAs), pay attention
to the output optical power of OAs, the receive optical power of corresponding OTU boards,
and the input optical power of the DCM module.
4.3 Checking the Optical Power Commissioning Results
When optical power commissioning is complete, you need to check the optical power
commissioning results.

OptiX OSN 1800

4.1 Commissioning a System Without Optical Amplifiers

When commissioning a system without optical amplifiers (OAs), pay attention to the receive
optical power of OTU boards.
General Requirements
The general requirements for commissioning the optical power of a system without OAs are as
follows:
l
The optical power after commissioning must be within the permitted range.
A certain optical power margin must be reserved to ensure that optical power fluctuation
in a certain range does not affect the existing services.
Requirements on OTU Optical Power

The output optical power of an OTU board must conform to the optical power specifications of
the OTU board. For details on the optical power specifications of the OTU board, see the
Hardware Description.
After commissioning, the receive optical power of the OTU board must satisfy the following
formula: Lower threshold of the receive optical power Receive optical power of the OTU
board Upper threshold of the receive optical power. It is recommended that the receive optical
power of an OTU board after commissioning is equal to the average value of the upper and lower
thresholds in practical application.
The optical power on the WDM side of the OTU board must satisfy the following formulas:
l
Lower threshold of the receive optical power = Receiver sensitivity + 3 dB
Upper threshold of the receive optical power = Receiver overload point - 5 dB
The optical power on the client side of the OTU board must satisfy the following formulas:
l
General Commissioning Methods

In general, commission a system without OAs along the signal flow, that is, from the upstream
direction to the downstream direction, according to the requirements on the OTU optical power.
Measure the receive and transmit optical power of an OTU board by using an optical power
meter, or query the receive and transmit optical power of the OTU board on the Web LCT or
T2000.

Issue 02 (2010-09-30)
OptiX OSN 1800

CAUTION
In the commissioning process, ensure that the input optical power of an OTU board (either the
WDM or client side) is lower than the optical power at the overload point to prevent the receiver
optical module from being damaged or prevent the existing services from being affected.
Exercise caution especially when an APD receiver optical module is used because the overload
point of such an optical module is only -9 dBm. Hence, connect a fiber loosely or do not connect
a fiber to the input optical interface on the OTU board before measuring the actual input optical
power.

If the receive optical power on the WDM side of the OTU (recorded as P1) fails to meet the
optical power requirement, do as follows:
l
If P1 is higher than the upper threshold of the receive optical power, attach an appropriate
fixed optical attenuator to the receive optical interface (point B in Figure 4-1) on the WDM
side of the OTU board to ensure that P1 meets the optical power requirement.
If P1 is lower than the lower threshold of the receive optical power, substitute a fixed optical
attenuator with lower attenuation for the existing fixed optical attenuator or remove the
fixed optical attenuator attached to the receive optical interface (point B in Figure 4-1) on
the WDM side of the OTU board. If P1 still fails to meet the optical power requirement
after the fixed optical attenuator is removed, check whether the fiber attenuation on the line
is proper and whether the network design data is correct.
If the receive optical power on the client side of the OTU (recorded as P2) fails to meet the
optical power requirement, do as follows:
l
If P2 is higher than the upper threshold of the receive optical power, attach an appropriate
fixed optical attenuator to the receive optical interface (point A in Figure 4-1) on the client
side of the OTU board to ensure that P2 meets the optical power requirement.
If P2 is lower than the lower threshold of the receive optical power, substitute a fixed optical
attenuator with lower attenuation for the existing fixed optical attenuator or remove the
fixed optical attenuator attached to the receive optical interface (point A in Figure 4-1) on
the client side of the OTU board. If P2 still fails to meet the optical power requirement after
the fixed optical attenuator is removed, check whether the transmit optical power of the
upstream equipment is within the permitted range, whether the fiber attenuation on the line
is proper, and whether the network design data is correct.

and LC/PC-FC/PC fiber jumpers), several fixed optical attenuators (3 dB, 5 dB, 7 dB, 10 dB,
and 15 dB), fiber adapters, fiber cleaning tissue or cassette cleaner, and compressed air cleaner.
4.2 Commissioning a System with Optical Amplifiers

When commissioning the optical power of a system with optical amplifiers (OAs), pay attention
to the output optical power of OAs, the receive optical power of corresponding OTU boards,
and the input optical power of the DCM module.
General Requirements
The general requirements for commissioning the optical power of a system with OAs are as
follows:
l
The optical power after commissioning must be within the permitted range.
A certain optical power margin must be reserved to ensure that optical power fluctuation
in a certain range does not affect the existing services.
The optical power after commissioning must meet the requirements on system expansion.
Requirements on OTU Optical Power

The output optical power of an OTU board must conform to the optical power specification of
the OTU board. For details on the specifications of the OTU board, see the Hardware
Description.
After commissioning, the receive optical power of the OTU board must satisfy the following
formula: Lower threshold of the receive optical power Receive optical power of the OTU
board Upper threshold of the receive optical power. It is recommended that the receive optical
power of an OTU board after commissioning is equal to the average value of the upper and lower
thresholds in practical application.
The optical power on the WDM side of the OTU board must satisfy the following formulas:
l
The optical power on the client side of the OTU board must satisfy the following formulas:
l
Requirements on OA Optical Power

The average output optical power of the wavelengths of an OA must be equal to the nominal
output optical power for a single wavelength. In this case, the following requirements must be
met:
4-4

Issue 02 (2010-09-30)
OptiX OSN 1800

The average output optical power of the wavelengths of an OA is measured by connecting

an optical spectrum analyzer to the OUT optical interface on the OA.
Nominal output optical power for a single wavelength = Maximum total optical power of
the OA - 10lgN (N represents the maximum number of wavelengths permitted by the
system). For example, the maximum total optical power of the OA is 17 dBm. If the system
is designed as a 40-channel system, the nominal output optical power for a single
wavelength is 1 dBm as calculated by using the preceding formula.
The output optical power of a single wavelength of the OA should be equal to or close to the
nominal output optical power for a single wavelength.
Requirements on DCM Optical Power

If a DCM module is configured in a system, the optical power of a single wavelength input to
the DCM module must be equal to or lower than -3 dBm.
General Commissioning Methods

In general, commission a system with OAs along the signal flow, that is, from the upstream
direction to the downstream direction, according to the requirements on the OA optical power,
OTU optical power, and DCM optical power.
The optical power of an OTU board is commissioned in the same way regardless of in a system
with OAs or a system without OAs. For the detailed methods of commissioning the optical power
of an OTU board, see 4.1 Commissioning a System Without Optical Amplifiers.
CAUTION
In the commissioning process, ensure that the input optical power of an OTU board (either the
WDM or client side) is lower than the optical power at the overload point to prevent the receiver
optical module from being damaged or prevent the existing services from being affected.
Exercise caution especially when an APD receiver optical module is used because the overload
point of such an optical module is only -9 dBm. Hence, do not connect a fiber or connect a fiber
loosely to the input optical interface on the OTU board before measuring the actual input optical
power.

Connect an optical spectrum analyzer to the OUT optical interface on an OA, and then measure
the output optical power of a single wavelength and the average output optical power of the
wavelengths of the OA. If the output optical power of a single wavelength of the OA fails to
meet the optical power requirement, adjust the optical attenuator at the WDM-side output optical
interface on the upstream OTU board or adjust the optical attenuator at the input optical interface
on the OA to ensure that the optical power of the OA meets the optical power requirements.
See Figure 4-2. In the case of OA1, do as follows:
l
If the average output optical power of wavelengths is higher than the nominal output optical
power for a single wavelength, increase the attenuation of the optical attenuator at the input
optical interface (point as D in Figure 4-2) on the OA to ensure that the average optical
power of wavelengths is equal to the nominal output optical power for a single wavelength.
If the average output optical power of wavelengths is lower than the nominal output optical
power for a single wavelength, decrease the attenuation of the optical attenuator at the input
optical interface (point as D in Figure 4-2) on the OA to ensure that the average optical
power of wavelengths is equal to the nominal output optical power for a single wavelength.
In the case of the output optical power of a specific wavelength, adjust the optical attenuator
at the output optical interface (point C in Figure 4-2) on the corresponding OTU board to
ensure that the output optical power of this wavelength from the OA is equal to or close to
the nominal output optical power for a single wavelength.
In the case of OA2, adjust the optical attenuator at point E in Figure 4-2 to ensure that the average
optical power of wavelengths is equal to the nominal output optical power for a single
wavelength. If the average output optical power of wavelengths cannot be equal to the nominal
output optical power for a single wavelength after the attenuation is adjusted to 0, remove the
optical attenuator. If the optical power requirement is still not met, check whether the network
design data is correct.
In the case of OA3, adjust the input optical power of the MUX2 board at the upstream station,
and then adjust the optical attenuator at point F in Figure 4-2 to ensure that the average output
optical power of wavelengths of the OA is equal to the nominal output optical power for a single
4-6

OptiX OSN 1800

wavelength. The methods of commissioning the input optical power of the MUX2 board are as
follows:
1.
Measure the optical power of each pass-through wavelength at the input optical interface
on the MUX2 board and then calculate the average optical power of these pass-through
wavelengths. In the case of a multiplexed pass-through wavelength, measure the average
optical power by using an optical spectrum analyzer. In the case of a single pass-through
wavelength, measure the optical power of this pass-through wavelength directly by using
an optical power meter.
2.
Measure the optical power of a single add wavelength at the input optical interface on the
MUX2 board and identify the add wavelength with the lowest optical power.
3.
Do as follows to adjust the optical power of corresponding wavelengths:

l If the average optical power of the pass-through wavelengths is lower than the lowest
optical power of the add wavelengths, adjust the optical attenuator at point G in Figure
4-2 to ensure that the optical power of each add wavelength is equal to the average
optical of the pass-through wavelengths.
l If the average optical power of the pass-through wavelengths is higher than the lowest
optical power of the add wavelengths, install one optical attenuator on each pass-through
channel between the DUX1 and MUX2 boards to ensure that the average optical power
of the pass-through wavelengths is equal to the lowest optical power of the add
wavelengths. In addition, adjust the attenuation of the optical attenuators at the output
optical interfaces on other OTU boards used to add wavelengths. This is to ensure that
the optical power of each add wavelength is equal to the lowest optical power of the
add wavelengths as measured at the input optical interface on the MUX2 board.
TIP
If the OPU board is configured with SFP EVOA, the attenuation value can be adjusted on the NMS.
If a DCM module is configured in the system, measure the total input optical power of the DCM
module by using an optical power meter. Then, calculate and ensure that the actual input optical
power of a single wavelength is equal to or lower than -3 dBm.

5 Commissioning and Configuring the Network
Commissioning and Configuring the

Network
About This Chapter

You can commission and configure the network after the equipment at each station on the
network is powered on and the stations are interconnected with fibers.
5.1 Searching for and Creating NEs
You can search for and create NEs when the NEs are connected to the NMS computer and the
communication between NEs and the NMS is normal.
5.2 Creating Optical NEs
On the T2000 the WDM equipment is allocated to different optical NEs for management.
5.3 Changing the ID and Name of an NE
The ECC protocol uses an NE ID to uniquely identify an NE. 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, certain NEs cannot be managed.
5.4 Changing the IP Address of an NE
In the case of a gateway NE, change the IP address of the NE according to the customer planning.
In the case of a non-gateway NE, you do not need to change its IP address.
5.5 Configuring Ethernet Extended ECC
When there is no OSC or ESC communication between two or more NEs, the Ethernet ports of
the NEs can be used to achieve the extended ECC communication. By default, the OptiX OSN
1800 series NEs take the auto-extended ECC communication. When the number of NEs that use
the extended ECC communication exceeds nine, you must set the extended ECC communication
to specified mode.
5.6 Configuring IP over DCC
When the network planning adopts the IP over DCC mode for communication, you need to
configure the DCC channel and check whether the IP routes are correct in the commissioning
and configuration.
5.7 Configuring Board Parameters
Issue 02 (2010-09-30)

5-1
OptiX OSN 1800

Different boards implement different functions, and therefore you need to configure different
parameters in the commissioning and configuration for deployment. Set parameters
appropriately for each board according to the actual network.
5.8 Creating Fibers
You are recommended to create fibers in graphic mode in the Main Topology or signal flow
view.
5.9 Configuring Cross-Connection Service
The LQG and LQM2 boards support configuration of cross-connections and the methods of
configuring cross-connections on the two boards are the same. By default, a cross-connection
created on the LQG and LQM2 boards is a direct cross-connection.
5.10 Configuring Services in Service Package Mode
The service package module enables you to configure services on an NE in a one-click manner.
This configuration method is easier and quicker. The OptiX OSN 1800 supports two types of
service packages: GE service package and GE/STM-1 integrated service package. The LQM,
LQM2, and LWX2 boards support the function of configuring services in service package mode.
5.11 Configuring SW SNCP Protection
SW SNCP protection can be implemented by using convergence OTU boards that support crossconnections. This type of OTU boards includes the LQM2 and LQG boards.
5.12 Configuring Port Protection
On the port protection user interface, you can configure intra-board 1+1 protection, optical line
protection, client-side 1+1 protection, and inter-subrack 1+1 optical channel protection.
Configure protection of an appropriate type according to the network design.
5.13 Synchronizing the NE Time with the NMS Time
With the time synchronization function, the NE time is kept consistent with the NMS time. In
this way, the NMS is able to record the correct time when alarms and abnormal events are
reported by NEs.
5.14 Starting NE Performance Monitoring
Enabling the performance monitoring function is a precondition for querying the performance
events. If the current NE time is in the performance monitoring time range as set before, the NE
monitors its performance events automatically. If the performance monitoring time range is not
set or if the current NE time is not within the performance monitoring time range, the NE does
not monitor its performance events.
5.15 Searching and Creating WDM Trails
After configuring services on an NE, search for WDM trails on the NE so that you can manage
services based on WDM trails.
5.16 Checking Configurations in the Commissioning Process
Correct setting of each system parameter is the precondition for ensuring normal network
operation.
5.17 Backing Up the NE Database to the SCC Board
By backing up an NE database to an SCC board, you can ensure that the NE automatically
restores to the normal state in case a power failure occurs. When you back up an NE database
to an SCC board, you actually back up the NE data to the flash memory of the SCC board. After
a power-off reset occurs on the NE, the SCC board automatically reads the configuration data
from the flash memory and applies the data to the boards on this NE.
5.18 Checking Optical Power of Boards
By checking the optical power of a board, you can ensure that the transmit and receive optical
power of the board is within the normal range. When commissioning the OptiX OSN 1800, you
5-2

Issue 02 (2010-09-30)
OptiX OSN 1800

can adjust the optical power of a board at the site by adding, replacing, or removing a fixed
optical attenuator (FOA) or adjusting a variable optical attenuator (VOA) before an optical
interface.
5.19 Querying Bit Errors Before and After FEC
The count of bit errors before and after FEC is a key specification for measuring the system
operation quality.
5.20 Viewing Current Alarms on an NE and Removing Abnormal Alarms
Viewing the current alarms on an NE helps you to intuitively and quickly locate an exception
on the network. This helps you to identify a fault on the network.
5.21 Testing Protection Switching
In the commissioning or configuration phase, you can run a manual switching command to check
whether protection switching can be performed normally.
5.22 Querying and Saving the Networkwide Optical Power and Alarm Data
After commissioning a network, you need to query and save the optical power and alarm data
of the entire network. This type of data can help you analyze and understand the operating status
of the network in future.
5.23 Backing Up NE Data to the NMS Server or Client
You can manually back up the data of one or more NEs of the same type to an NMS server or
client.

5.5 Configuring Ethernet Extended ECC

When there is no OSC or ESC communication between two or more NEs, the Ethernet ports of
the NEs can be used to achieve the extended ECC communication. By default, the OptiX OSN
1800 series NEs take the auto-extended ECC communication. When the number of NEs that use
the extended ECC communication exceeds nine, you must set the extended ECC communication
to specified mode.
Prerequisite
The communication between NEs must be normal.

Web LCT or T2000
Background Information
The extended ECC communication has the following two modes:
l
Automatic mode: Extended ECC connections are established automatically. This mode is
convenient but extra connections are established. Therefore, the resource utilization ratio
is low and this mode is recommended to be used when the number of NEs is smaller than
nine.
Specified mode: Extended ECC connections are established according to the specified
server and client. In this mode, the connections are reliable and the bandwidth utilization
ratio is high. In normal cases, use the specified mode to establish extended ECC
connections. An NE cannot operate in both modes at the same time to establish extended
ECC communication with another NE.
In the case of Ethernet extended ECC, a server NE can be connected to a maximum of eight
client NEs and a client NE can serve as the server NE of another extended ECC group. Generally,
set an NE that is not configured with the supervisory channel (ESC or OSC) as a client NE and
an NE that is configured with the supervisory channel (ESC or OSC) as a server NE.
You can set the ECC extended mode on site or remotely. When setting the ECC extended mode
remotely, you need to set client NEs first and then server NEs under the condition that
When setting the ECC extended mode remotely, set an NE without the supervisory channel (ESC
or OSC) first and then an NE with the supervisory channel (ESC or OSC). In the case of an NE
without the supervisory channel, the NE is unreachable and communication between the NMS
and the NE fails after the ECC extended mode is set remotely. The communication is restored
automatically after an NE with the supervisory channel at the same station as the NE without
the supervisory channel is set.
For example, a station has ten NEs. The supervisory channel (ESC or OSC) is configured on
NE A. Figure 5-1 shows the network topology. Table 5-1 provides the IP addresses of the NEs
and the ECC setting plan.
NE A is the server NE. NE I is a client NE of NE A and the server NE of NE J.

following sequence:
Issue 02 (2010-09-30)

5-15
OptiX OSN 1800

J I client H, G, F, E, D, C, and B A server I server

During the configuration, the status of the communication between the NMS and NEs changes
frequently.
l
After the setting on NE J is complete, the communication between the NMS and NE J fails.
After the setting on NE I client is complete, the communication between the NMS and NE
I fails.
After the settings on NEs H, G, F, E, D, C, and B are complete, the communication between
the NMS and NEs H, G, F, E, D, C, and B fails.
After the setting on NE A server is complete, the communication between the NMS and
NEs B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I is restored automatically.
After the setting on NE I server is complete, the communication between the NMS and NE
J is restored automatically.
Precautions
CAUTION
When setting the ECC extended mode remotely, ensure that the configuration sequence is
correct. That is, modify the ECC extended mode of opposite non-gateway NEs first and then the
ECC extended mode of the gateway NE. Otherwise, the communication between the NMS and
the unreachable NE cannot restore automatically. In this case, onsite resetting is required.
CAUTION
Do not set the extended ECC mode for the communication between gateway NEs of subnets. In
addition, you are recommended not to set a gateway NE but an NE closest to the gateway NE
as a server NE.
CAUTION
To ensure normal communication, the ECC extended mode of the NEs that adopt the Ethernet
extended ECC communication must match. The match requirements are as follows:
l If you set the ECC extended mode to automatic mode for an NE, you need to set the ECC
extended mode also to automatic mode for the opposite NE.
l If you set the ECC extended mode to specified mode for an NE, you need to set the ECC
extended mode also to specified mode for the opposite NE. In addition, the two NEs must
be of the client-server relationship. That is, if an NE serves as the server, the opposite NE
must be the client.
NOTE
When setting the ECC extended mode remotely, you are recommended to work out the ECC setting plan
in advance to ensure that the settings are correct.

The LQM board supports slice services, such as GE_SLICE, FC100_SLICE, FC200_SLICE,
FICON_SLICE, and FICON_EXPRESS_SLICE. Compared with common services, slice
services feature better performance in transparent transmission of clock but require more
timeslots. In practical application, select a proper service type according to the actual conditions.
For example, when the LQM board is used to receive FC100 services, select FC100_SLICE if
better performance in transparent transmission of clock is required and timeslots are sufficient.
Otherwise, select FC100 so that more timeslots can be used to receive other types of services.

The LQM2 board supports slice services, such as GE_SLICE, FC100_SLICE, FC200_SLICE,
FICON_SLICE, and FICON_EXPRESS_SLICE. Compared with common services, slice
services feature better performance in transparent transmission of clock but require more
timeslots. In practical application, select a proper service type according to the actual conditions.
For example, when the LQM2 board is used to receive FC100 services, select FC100_SLICE if
better performance in transparent transmission of clock is required and timeslots are sufficient.
Otherwise, select FC100 so that more timeslots can be used to receive other types of services.
Precautions
CAUTION
If you delete a logical LQM2 board and configure it again on the NMS, the original configuration
of the board is deleted and the default configuration is restored.

NOTE
Before changing the working mode of the LQM2 board,
ensure that no cross-connection or service is configured
on the board. If a cross-connection or service is configured
on the board, delete the cross-connection or service and
set Service Type to Nonebefore you change the working
mode of the board.

5.9 Configuring Cross-Connection Service

The LQG and LQM2 boards support configuration of cross-connections and the methods of
configuring cross-connections on the two boards are the same. By default, a cross-connection
created on the LQG and LQM2 boards is a direct cross-connection.
Prerequisite
You must have logged in to the NE where the LQG or LQM2 board resides.
Service types must be set for WDM optical interfaces on the board.

Web LCT or T2000
Precautions
CAUTION
When configuring a cross-connection, ensure that the WDM-side path numbers at the transmit
and receive ends are consistent. Otherwise, the service cannot be available.
5-68

Issue 02 (2010-09-30)
OptiX OSN 1800

CAUTION
When the board that supports cross-connection carries electrical interface services, non-straightthrough cross-connections cannot configured for the electrical interface services on the board.
NOTE
For the cross-connect slots that the LQM2 and LQG boards support on the chassis, see the Hardware
Description.
TIP
When configuring cross-connections for a service, you need to configure one cross-connection on the NE
where this service is added and another cross-connection on the NE where this service is dropped. When
you need to configure cross-connections for multiple services on a network, select either of the following
methods to configure the cross-connections for all these services:
l On a per-NE basis: Configure cross-connections on one NE and then on another NE. In this manner,
configure cross-connections on all NEs on the network in turn.
l On a per-service basis: Configure cross-connections for one service and then for another service. In
this manner, configure cross-connections for all services in turn.

5.10 Configuring Services in Service Package Mode

The service package module enables you to configure services on an NE in a one-click manner.
This configuration method is easier and quicker. The OptiX OSN 1800 supports two types of
service packages: GE service package and GE/STM-1 integrated service package. The LQM,
LQM2, and LWX2 boards support the function of configuring services in service package mode.
Prerequisite
You must have logged in to the NE where the LQM, LQM2, or LWX2 board resides.
5-70

Issue 02 (2010-09-30)
OptiX OSN 1800


Web LCT or T2000
You can select the required service package during the deployment. Then, you can run the
commands in the service package to configure services and query information the service
package.
You can run a command to manually apply a service package to an NE. In this manner, the
services on all the service boards on this NE are configured automatically. In the process of
applying a service package to an NE, the original configurations on the NE are deleted and the
configuration commands are then executed. A service package actually contains a series of
configuration commands. Some of these configuration commands are used for configuring crossconnections, and the other are used for configuring service types for optical interfaces. There is
an exception that a service rate other than service type is configured for an optical interface in
the case of the LWX2 board.

Precautions
CAUTION
In the case of the LQM2 board, after the configuration commands in a service package are
executed, a direct cross-connection between optical interface 3 and optical interface 4 is
configured automatically. In the case of the LWX2 and LQM boards, the configuration
commands in a service package cannot be used to create any cross-connection.
CAUTION
Precautions for configuring services in service package mode
l Service packages do not support expansion based on the existing services. If expansion is
required, you need to delete the existing services before configuring services in service
package mode.
l In the process of applying a service package to an NE, the configurations on all boards on
this NE are deleted and the service package is then implemented.
l If the NE is reset in the process of configuring scripts, you need to restart the service package
before you configure services.
CAUTION
In the case of the LQM2 board, take the following precautions before configuring services in
service package mode:
l After configuring services in service package mode, if one of optical interfaces 3 to 6 on the
LQM2 board needs to access another type of service, you need to reconfigure the service
type manually for this optical interface. Otherwise, the service is unavailable.
l If the current working mode of the LQM2 board is the 2LQM mode, the working mode of
the board automatically changes to AP8 after service types are configured for the board in
service package mode.

5.11 Configuring SW SNCP Protection

SW SNCP protection can be implemented by using convergence OTU boards that support crossconnections. This type of OTU boards includes the LQM2 and LQG boards.
Prerequisite
You must have logged in to an NE.
The NE must be configured with boards that support SW SNCP protection.

Web LCT or T2000
5-74

Issue 02 (2010-09-30)
OptiX OSN 1800

Precautions
NOTE
SW SNCP protection must be configured at both the sink and source. At the source, you need to configure
cross-connections to implement dual transmitting; at the sink, you need to configure cross-connections to
implement selective receiving.
Procedure
l

1.
In the NE Explorer of the NE that functions as the source NE of SW SNCP protection,

select the NE and then choose Configuration > Electrical Cross-Connection
Service Management from the Function Tree.
2.
On the Electrical Cross-Connection Configuration tab page, click New, and the
Create Cross-Connection Service dialog box is displayed. In the dialog box,
configure two cross-connections to implement dual transmitting. For details on how
to configure a cross-connection, see 5.9 Configuring Cross-Connection Service.
To implement dual transmitting on the source NE of SW SNCP protection, you need
to configure two cross-connections, which share the same source but have different
sinks. An example is as follows (1U chassis):
Source: 1-LQM2-3(RX1/TX1)-1; sink: 1-LQM2-201(LP1/LP1)-1 (this is a
unidirectional cross-connection)
Source: 1-LQM2-3(RX1/TX1)-1; sink: 4-LQM2-201(LP1/LP1)-1 (this is a
unidirectional cross-connection)
3.
In the NE Explorer of the NE that functions as the sink NE of SW SNCP protection,

select the NE and then choose Configuration > Electrical Cross-Connection
Service Management from the Function Tree. Click Create SNCP and the Create
SNCP dialog box is displayed.
4.
Set the SW SNCP protection parameters to complete the configuration of crossconnections at the sink NE. After the cross-connections are configured at the sink NE,
the selective receiving function of the sink NE is implemented.

5.13 Synchronizing the NE Time with the NMS Time

With the time synchronization function, the NE time is kept consistent with the NMS time. In
this way, the NMS is able to record the correct time when alarms and abnormal events are
reported by NEs.
Prerequisite

Web LCT or T2000
When NEs report alarms and abnormal events to the NMS, the generation time of such alarms
and events is based on the NE time. If the NE time is incorrect, the generation time of the alarms
recorded in the NMS is also incorrect, which may cause troubles in fault locating. The same case
happens to the generation time of abnormal events that are recorded in the NE security log. To
prevent the preceding problem, the NMS provides the function of synchronizing the NE time
with the NMS time to ensure that the NE time is correct.
With this function, all NEs can be synchronized with the NMS time manually or automatically.
In this manner, all the NEs use the NMS time as the standard time. The NMS server time refers
to the time of the computer system where the NMS server resides. This function features easy
operation and applies to a network with relatively low requirement for time accuracy.
Synchronizing NE time with the NMS time does not affect the existing services. Before
synchronizing the NE time with the NMS time, make sure that the time of the computer system
where the Web LCT/T2000 server resides is correct. If you need to change the computer system
time, first exit the Web LCT/T2000. Then, restart the Web LCT/T2000 after re-setting the
computer system time.

management flags from the network in the next step. The deletion does not affect the actual
services on the NE and the data of the NE saved on the NMS.
5.
Click Next to view all discrete services on the network.

NOTE
The possible causes of discrete services and the method for removing discrete services are as
follows:
l The data on the NE is inconsistent with that on the NMS. In this case, upload the
configuration data to the NMS.
l Fibers are created inappropriately and the created fiber connections are inconsistent with
the physical fiber connections. In this case, check and ensure that the fiber connections
created on the NMS are consistent with the physical fiber connections between real
equipment.
l NE configuration data is incorrect and service configuration is incomplete. In this case,
correct the NE configuration data and configure services completely.

5.18 Checking Optical Power of Boards

By checking the optical power of a board, you can ensure that the transmit and receive optical
power of the board is within the normal range. When commissioning the OptiX OSN 1800, you
can adjust the optical power of a board at the site by adding, replacing, or removing a fixed
optical attenuator (FOA) or adjusting a variable optical attenuator (VOA) before an optical
interface.
Prerequisite
The performance monitoring function must be enabled.
Fiber connections must be established properly and lasers must be enabled.

The Web LCT or T2000 is used for querying the optical power of a board. The T2000 must be
used for querying the optical power of the entire network.
Procedure
l
5-96

1.
In the NE Explorer, select the board whose optical power you need to query.
2.
Choose Configuration > Optical Power Management from the Function Tree.
3.
Click Query to read the current optical power value from the NE.
4.
Ensure that the input optical power value for each optical interface is in the range of
Input Power Lower Threshold(dBm) and Input Power Upper Threshold(dBm).
Issue 02 (2010-09-30)
OptiX OSN 1800

If the input optical power value for an optical interface is greater than Input Power
Lower Threshold(dBm), add a FOA or replace the existing FOA before the
optical interface to ensure that the input optical power meets the design
requirement.
If the input optical power value is smaller than Input Power Upper Threshold
(dBm), do as follows:
Check the transmit optical power of the opposite board. If the transmit optical
power of this board is abnormal, replace the transmitter on this board.
Check whether appropriate FOAs are installed on the link against the FOA
installation table.
Check and clean the fiber endfaces and flanges on the ODF.
Check whether fiber jumpers are bent seriously or bundled too tightly.
If the attenuation of line fibers is excessive, recommend customers to rectify
the line fibers or add an REG station to ensure that the actual line attenuation
is smaller than the line attenuation specified in the design document.
TIP
At the site, you can also use the following methods to determine whether the input optical
power at an optical interface on a board meets the design requirement:
l Use an optical power meter to measure the input optical power at an optical interface. Then,
determine whether the input optical power is normal according to the permitted optical
power range.
l Check the status of the LED corresponding to this optical interface, such as IN, IN1, IN2,
IN3, IN4, RM1, or RM2, on the front panel of the board.
l Always on (red): indicates that the receive optical power is excessively low.
l Blink (red): indicates that the receive optical power is excessively high.
l Always on (green): indicates that the receive optical power is normal.
5.
Check the Output Power(dBm) value for each optical interface on the board. The
value must be within the specified range. If the value for an optical interface is outside
of the specified range, replace the optical module at the optical interface.
For detailed specifications of a board, see the Hardware Description.

1.
In the Main Menu, choose Configuration > Optical Power Management to display
the Optical Power Management window.
2.
Select the desired board in the NE list on the left of the window, and then click
.
TIP
By selecting all the NEs on the network, you can query the optical power of all these NEs at a
time.

Optional: Customize the optical power management template as required. Right-click

the title and then choose Setting from the shortcut menu. In the displayed dialog box,
select the desired parameters. Display or hide the selected parameters as required. You
can also change the position where a parameter is displayed and customize the width
of the display field and the parameter name. For example, in the case of a network
with no optical amplifier (OA) boards, you are recommended to hide the Pump Max
Output Power(dBm) and Pump Min Output Power(dBm) fields. After the setting,
click OK.

OptiX OSN 1800

TIP
After right-clicking the title, select a parameter directly to hide or display it as required.
5.
Set Reference Working Upper Threshold(dBm) and Reference Working Lower

Threshold(dBm).
The T2000 compares the obtained Input Power(dBm) with the Reference Working
Upper Threshold(dBm) and Reference Working Lower Threshold(dBm) values
to determine whether the input optical power is normal. If Input Power(dBm) is in
the range of Reference Working Upper Threshold(dBm) and Reference Working
Lower Threshold(dBm), the input optical power is normal. If the input optical power
exceeds either of the preceding thresholds by less than 2 dB, the Input Power State
field is displayed as warning alert; if the deviation is greater than 2 dB, the input power
state is displayed as critical alert. The Reference Working Upper Threshold
(dBm) and Reference Working Lower Threshold(dBm) fields have no default
values. If either of them is not set, the T2000 does not check for the input power state.
NOTE
If the Input Power Reference Value(dBm) field is set but the Reference Working Upper
Threshold(dBm) and Reference Working Lower Threshold(dBm) fields are not set, the
T2000 automatically generates Reference Working Upper Threshold(dBm) and Reference
Working Lower Threshold(dBm) field values according to Input Power Reference Value
(dBm). In this case, the following formulas must be satisfied:
l Reference Working Upper Threshold(dBm) = Input Power Reference Value(dBm) +
3dB
l Reference Working Lower Threshold(dBm) = Input Power Reference Value(dBm) 5dB
To ensure that the T2000 displays a correct power state, you are recommended to set the
Reference Working Upper Threshold(dBm) and Reference Working Lower Threshold
(dBm) fields.
In the case of the OptiX OSN 1800, the Reference Working Upper Threshold
(dBm) and Input Power Upper Threshold(dBm) fields have the same value, and
the Reference Working Lower Threshold(dBm) and Input Power Lower
Threshold(dBm) fields have the same value.
6.
5-98
Check the value of the Input Power State field. If the field is displayed as Critical
Alert or Warning Alert, it indicates that the optical power of the specified optical
interface is outside of the normal range. In this case, proceed to analyze the problem.
That is, rectify this problem in the same way as used to rectify such a problem by using
the Web LCT.

Issue 02 (2010-09-30)
OptiX OSN 1800

TIP
You can also compare Input Power(dBm) of each optical interface with Input Power Lower
Threshold(dBm) and Input Power Upper Threshold(dBm). If the input optical power is
outside of the range of Input Power Lower Threshold(dBm) and Input Power Upper
Threshold(dBm), it indicates that the input optical power is abnormal.
7.
Set Output Power Reference Value(dBm).

Output Power Reference Value(dBm) must be set according to the output optical
power specification of the optical module at the specified optical interface. The T2000
compares the obtained Output Power(dBm) with the preset Output Power
Reference Value(dBm) to determine whether the output optical power is abnormal.
If Output Power(dBm) deviates from Output Power Reference Value(dBm) by
less than 2 dB, the T2000 displays Output Power State as normal; if the deviation is
2 dB to 4 dB, the T2000 displays Output Power State as Warning Alert; if the
deviation is greater than 4 dB, the T2000 displays Output Power State as Critical
Alert.
8.
Check Output Power(dBm) for each optical interface on the board according to the
value of Output Power State. The output optical power must be within the specified
range. If the output optical power at an optical interface is outside of the specified
range, replace the optical module at the optical interface.
NOTE
Whether Output Power State is correct depends on an appropriate setting of the Output
Power Reference Value(dBm). Thus, during the commissioning, set Output Power
Reference Value(dBm) properly according to the specification of the board and determine
whether the output optical power is normal.
9.
After customizing the optical power management template, save the template. In
future, you can apply the template directly instead of re-setting parameters. To save
the customized template, choose Filter by Template > Save As. In the displayed
dialog box, enter the template name and then click OK. The Operation Result dialog
box is displayed. Click Close.

Set performance
thresholds for a
specified board
When an NE detects that a certain performance value

exceeds the specified threshold, the NE reports a
corresponding performance event. See this section to
learn how to change a performance threshold of a
specified board.
Set performance
of a board
The Web LCT/T2000 can monitor the performance of all

boards on a network. The automatic reporting of detected
performance values, however, is disabled by default. You
can change the default setting as required.
Set performance
of an NE
Set the performance monitoring parameters of a specified

NE properly and then enable the NE performance
monitoring function. By doing so, you can obtain detailed
description of performance records during the operation
of the NE. This facilitates monitoring of the existing
services and the equipment status.
Reset the performance

register of a board
After a network test or fault recovery, you need to reset

the performance register of a board as required before the
board is put into operation. This is to start a new
performance monitoring period.

5.20 Viewing Current Alarms on an NE and Removing

Abnormal Alarms
Viewing the current alarms on an NE helps you to intuitively and quickly locate an exception
on the network. This helps you to identify a fault on the network.
Prerequisite
The NMS computer must communicate with the NE properly.

Web LCT or T2000. When you need to view alarms on all NEs on the network, use the
T2000.
Procedure
l

1.
In the NE Explorer window, select the NE and choose Alarm > Browse Alarms
from the Function Tree. In the displayed window, click the Browse Current
Alarms tab.
2.
Analyze and handle the reported abnormal alarms. In the case of on-site maintenance,
handle Critical and Major alarms before handling other abnormal alarms.
Analyze and handle alarms one by one according to the network situations. According
to network conditions, certain alarms are reported inevitably, whereas certain alarms
cannot be reported. For example, in general no service is accessed on the WDM side
during deployment commissioning. In this case, relevant alarms are reported
inevitably. These alarms, however, are cleared automatically after real services are
accessed on the client side.
In the commissioning and configuration phases of deployment, you need to analyze
every reported alarm. In general, focus on the following alarms:
Optical power low or high alarm
Temperature threshold-crossing alarm
Abnormal communication alarm
Bit error-related alarm
Abnormal service alarm
To handle a reported alarm, see the Alarms and Performance Events Reference.

A Handling Common Commissioning Problems
Handling Common Commissioning

Problems
This chapter describes the methods of analyzing and handling the most common problems
happening in the deployment process. You need to analyze and handle problems according to
actual situations.
In the commissioning or configuration phase of deployment, alarms are generally generated
when a problem happens. For example, alarms are generated if no service is received on the
client side or if the configuration is incomplete. You need to analyze each alarm reported by
equipment to determine which alarms do not reflect abnormal running status and which alarms
indicate running status in the current engineering conditions. Abnormal alarms must be handled
properly in the commissioning or configuration phase of deployment.
Equipment may report various alarms. Different alarms have different causes. This chapter
describes the common causes of the common alarms and the common methods of handling such
alarms generated during deployment. There may be other causes of such alarms. Thus, analyze
and handle alarms in the commissioning or configuration phase of deployment according to
actual situations. For details on how to handle alarms of the OptiX OSN 1800, see the Alarms
and Performance Events Reference.
When reporting an alarm, the NMS also displays the position where the alarm is generated.
Determine the slot, board name, and optical interface where the alarm is generated according to
the displayed position information. For example, 1-LDGF2-201(LP1/LP1)-OTU1:1. In the case
of the LDGF2 board, 201(LP1/LP1) indicates the IN1 and IN2 optical interfaces, and 202(LP2/
LP2) indicates the IN3 and IN4 optical interfaces. The digit 1 at the end of the position
information indicates the IN1 or IN3 optical interface. If the digit is 2, it indicates the IN2 or
IN4 optical interface. That is, 1-LDGF2-201(LP1/LP1)-OTU1:1 indicates that the alarm is
generated at the IN1 optical interface on the LDGF2 board in slot 1. The indication of the position
information for other boards is similar.

Board Reports an OTU1_LOF Alarm
Keywords
LDGF, OTU1_LOF, LWX2 regeneration board
Symptom
The receive optical power on the WDM side of the LDGF board is normal but the board reports
an OTU1_LOF alarm.
The LDGF board that reports an OTU1_LOF alarm works with the LWX2 regeneration board.
Figure A-1 shows the network where the LDGF and LWX2 board are used. The ALS function
of a laser on the LWX2 regeneration board is disabled and all lasers on this board are enabled.
As shown in Figure A-1, the optical cable between the two LWX2 regeneration boards is
unavailable. That is, the optical path between the two regeneration boards is absent. Thus, the
downstream LWX2 regeneration board reports an R_LOS alarm.

Cause Analysis
The receive optical power on the WDM side of the LDGF board is normal but the board reports
an OTU1_LOF alarm. This indicates that the frame structure of the received optical signals is
invalid or the board is faulty. In general, the probability that the board is faulty is very small.
Thus, you can first check whether the received optical signals are normal.
As described previously, the upstream optical path is unavailable, and thus the downstream
LWX2 regeneration board cannot receive valid optical signals. The lasers on the downstream
LWX2 regeneration board, however, are forcibly enabled. Thus, the downstream LWX2
regeneration board transmits white light signals that have no frame structure. Thus, although
optical power of the optical signals received by the LDGF, the LDGF board reports an
OTU1_LOF alarm because the received optical signals have no frame structure.

Issue 02 (2010-09-30)
OptiX OSN 1800

Procedure
After an analysis, this is normal for the LDGF board to an OTU1_LOF alarm in the current
engineering situation. When the optical cable between the two LWX2 regeneration boards is
installed and the optical path between them are present, the OTU1_LOF alarm will be cleared
automatically.
None.
A.2 The Receive Optical Power Is Normal But the LDGF

Board Reports a LINK_ERR Alarm
Keywords
LDGF, LINK_ERR
Symptom
The receive optical power on the WDM side of the LDGF board is normal, the ETH port,
however, reports the LINK_ERR alarm. No service gains access to the ETH port on the LDGF
board where the alarm is reported.
Cause Analysis
The LINK_ERR alarm indicates that valid links between two data ports fail to be established,
however, the receive optical power on the WDM side of the LDGF board is normal and the line
is normal.
No service gains access to the ETH port on the LDGF board, and therefore valid links fail to be
established and the LINK_ERR alarm is reported.
Procedure
Under the current engineering condition, the situation is normal.
1.
If the ETH port on the LDGF board is planned to access services in the network planning,
the alarm is cleared automatically after the ETH port accesses services normally.
2.
If the ETH port on the LDGF board is not planned to access services in the network
planning, set the ETH channel to unused so that the channel does not detect the alarms that
are irrelevant with normal network operation.
None.

A.3 The Receive Optical Power Is Normal But the LWX2

Board Reports the R_LOC Alarm
Keywords
LWX2, R_LOC, interconnected equipment
Symptom
The client side of the LWX2 board interconnects with the client equipment to access the STM-16
service. The optical interface of the client equipment reports the R_LOS alarm, the client side
of the LWX2 board and the corresponding WDM side report the R_LOC alarm, and the service
is unavailable.
Cause Analysis
Check the optical power. The result shows that the receive optical power values on the client
equipment and the client and WDM sides of LWX2 board are normal.
Query the WDM interface attributes of the LWX2 board to check whether the board
configuration is correct. The result shows that the service rates on the client and WDM sides of
the LWX2 board are set to 2488.3 Mbit/s and 2667.0 Mbit/s respectively. Because the LWX2
board is a service transparent transmission board, the service rates on the client and WDM sides
of the LWX2 board must be the same as the rate of the service that is actually accessed.
Otherwise, the R_LOC alarm is reported and the service is unavailable.
Procedure
The R_LOC alarm is reported because the service rate on the WDM side of the LWX2 board is
different from the actual service rate. Change the service rate on the WDM side of the board to
2488.3 Mbit/s, and the symptom disappears and the service is available.
Regardless of whether the LWX2 board is used as a service transparent transmission board or a
regeneration board, the service rates on the client and WDM sides of the board must be the same
as the rate of the service that is actually accessed. Otherwise, the service is unavailable.

Cause Analysis
The REM_SF alarm indicates that the receive signals on the client side of the OTU board at the
opposite station fail. At the deployment commissioning phase, no service gains access to the
client side of the OTU board at station B, and therefore the alarm is reported.
Procedure
After services gain access to the client side of the OTU board at station B, the alarm is cleared.
None.
A.5 The Optical Path Is Reachable But the NE Cannot Be

Logged in Remotely
Keywords
LDGF2, NE unreachable, remote login
Symptom
The communication between stations A and B is achieved through only the ESC provided by
the LDGF2 board. Because the optical fibers are not connected at the deployment commissioning
phase, the optical paths of IN1/OUT1 on the LDGF2 board are unavailable. The optical paths
of IN2/OUT2, however, are normal. See Figure A-3. Station B cannot be logged in remotely at
station A.

Cause Analysis
The LDGF2 board receives ESC overhead bytes through the channels of IN1/OUT1. The optical
paths of IN1/OUT1 on the LDGF2 board are unavailable. Therefore, the ESC overhead bytes
fail to be received, communication between NEs fails to be established, and the NE fails to be
logged in remotely.
Procedure
Under the current engineering condition, establish normal communication routes according to
the network planning:
l
Configure intra-board 1+1 protection on the LDGF2 boards at stations A and B respectively
to establish normal communication between the two stations by using the channels of IN2/
OUT2.
Restore the fiber connections.

Reference Operations for the
Commissioning and Configuration

This chapter lists the reference operations for the commissioning and configuration. You can
perform proper operations according to the network condition.
B.1 Obtaining NE IP Addresses at the Site
In the case of onsite commissioning, if the T2000 or Web LCT is unavailable, you can obtain
the IP address of an NE by running a command directly in the Windows operating system.
B.2 Creating a Single NE
Creating NEs one by one is not as quick and precise as the batch creation. However, creating
NEs one by one is applicable no matter what way of communication an NE adopts. The NEs
that use serial ports to communicate do not support the NE search function and you must create
them one by one.
B.3 Checking the NE Software Version
This topic describes how to check the NE software version.
B.4 Creating an NE User
To ensure NE data security, only the users with NE user authority can log in to the NEs. An NE
user is able to perform operations on the NEs according to the assigned authority. The Web
LCT administrator is advised to create NE users before configuring services.
B.5 Switching a Logged-In NE User
During a new deployment, after the lct NE user creates an NE, this user can create another NE
user. You can log in to the NE with the new NE user name.
B.6 Modifying the Optical NE Name
You can change the optical NE name at any time as required with no effect on the running of
the NE.
B.7 Modifying GNE Parameters
During the network optimization and adjustment, you may need to change the GNE type or
modify the communication address.
B.8 Changing the GNE for NEs
When the GNE that the non-gateway NE belongs to is changed and this non-gateway NE does
not belong to another GNE, you need to change the GNE to maintain the communication between
the NEs and the T2000. When the number of NEs managed by a certain GNE exceeds a certain
number (the number is usually 50 and varies depending on different types of equipment), change

the GNE for certain NEs so that the communication between the T2000 and the NEs is not
affected.
B.9 Deleting an NE
When you need to adjust the network topology or have created a wrong NE, you can delete the
NE from the Web LCT. Deleting an NE removes all information of the NE from the Web LCT
but does not affect the running of the equipment.
B.10 Enabling the Proxy ARP
The address resolution protocol (ARP) helps you to query the MAC address of the destination
equipment using its IP address. If you enable proxy ARP for a gateway NE, the gateway NE can
answer ARP requests for other non-gateway NEs, so that you can set IP addresses of NEs of the
same network in the same network segment.
B.11 Configuring Static Routing
If the NE adopts IP over DCC and direction communication connection mode, you need to
configure a static route between the NM computer and the NE.
B.12 Querying the OSPF Protocol Status
Enable the OSPF protocol so that the routing information on the gateway NE can be
automatically diffused to other NEs.
B.13 Configuring the NE Data
Though an NE is successfully created, it is not configured. You need to configure the NE first
so that the T2000 can manage and operate the NE.
B.14 Configuring Boards
In the NE Panel, you can add a board and set port attributes for the board.
B.15 Performance Management
To ensure the normal functioning of the network, the network management and maintenance
personnel should periodically check and monitor the network by taking proper performance
management measures.
B.16 Modifying the Services Configuration
After a service is configured, you can modify or delete the configuration data of the service
based on the following task sets.
B.17 Switching the Working Mode of the LQM2
The default working mode of the LQM2 board is 2LQM Mode. When the working mode is
switched to AP8 Mode, you need to configure the board and add the IN2/OUT2 optical interface
according to this section.
B.18 Backing Up and Restoring the NE Data
For the security of the NE data, you can back up and restore the NE data.
B.19 Creating Fiber Connections in List Mode
In Fiber/Cable Management, you can manage the fiber connections between NEs and inside
NEs in a unified manner. Compared with the graphic mode, the creating fiber connections in the
list mode is not visual. Hence, the list mode is applicable to the scenario where you create a few
fiber connections only.
B.20 Configuring Services by Creating WDM Trails
You can configure services on NEs by creating OCh, ODUk, or client trails. To create an OCh,
ODUk, or client trail, you need to search for or create the information about the trail at the
corresponding server layer and then specify the source and sink of the OCh, ODUk, or client
trail.

B.18 Backing Up and Restoring the NE Data

For the security of the NE data, you can back up and restore the NE data.
B.18.1 Comparison of NE Data Backup and Restoration Methods
You need to back up important NE data during daily maintenance. This ensures that the SCC
board of the NE automatically restores to normal operation after the NE data in the DRDB
database of the SCC board is lost or a power failure occurs on the equipment. This section
describes several NE data backup and restoration methods. You can select the method as
required.

database of the SCC board is lost or a power failure occurs on the equipment. This section
describes several NE data backup and restoration methods. You can select the method as
required.
Comparison of Backup and Restoration Methods

The locations for backing up and restoring the NE database include the SCC board, local server
and remote server. Different storage locations determine different types of backup and
restoration methods. See Table B-1.
Table B-1 Backup and restoration methods and application scenarios
Backup and Restoration Method
Application Scenario
Back up/Restore the NE database to/from an

SCC board
Backs up the NE data in the DRDB database

of the SCC board to the flash database, when
the SCC board does not have a CF card.
During the restoration, after a warm reset (or
cold reset) on the SCC board, the SCC board
reads the configuration from the DRDB (or
flash) database.
l after a warm reset on the SCC board, the
MDB reads the configuration from the
DRDB database.
l after a cold reset on the SCC board, the
MDB reads the configuration from the
FLASH database.
Back up/Restore the NE data to/from an NMS

Configuration
NOTE
After the warm resets on other boards, the NE memory data is issued to the boards. When the actual
configuration of the board is consistent with the configuration stored in the database for restoration, the
process of delivering configuration data to the board does not interrupt services.
NE Database
The NE configuration data is saved in the NE database. There are three types of NE databases
as follows:
l
MDB: Memory database. The data in a MDB database is changed when the configuration
information is changed. The data is lost when the SCC board is reset or a power failure
occurs.
DRDB: Dynamic random database. The data that is verified is automatically saved in the
DRDB database. The data is lost when a power failure occurs but not lost after a warm reset
is performed.
FDB: Flash database. There are the FDB0 and FDB1 databases. The data can be saved
permanently.
When the NE configuration data is issued to the SCC board, it is saved in the MDB database. If
the verification is successful, the SCC board automatically copies the contents in the MDB
database to the DRDB database and issues the verified configuration data to the boards. The
DRDB database is copied the DRDB database to the FDB database, as a backup of the DRDB
database. When the NE is restarted after a power failure, the SCC board checks whether there
is configuration data in the DRDB database. If yes, the data are restored from the DRDB
database. If the data in the DRDB database is damaged, the data is restored from the FDB0 and
FDB1 databases.
NE Configuration Data
The NE configuration data refers to the information in the DRDB database of the NE, such as
the board configuration, clock configuration and protection relations of the NE. It is the
instruction file of the NE and the key for the NE to perform normally in the entire network.
NE Database Package
The NE database package is a package that contains all database files on an NE and a file list
that defines and manages those files.
The NE database package and NE configuration data are the same data on the NE in different
releases. You can perform the NE database package backup and restoration on the release 5.00.06
NE or the NE of later release.
B.18.2 Restoring the NE Database from the SCC Board

When the database file is lost due to the NE maintenance or NE fault, you can restore the NE
data from the DRDB database file that is already backed up to the Flash database on the SCC
board.
Prerequisite
l
You must log in to the NE as an NE user with system level authority.
