the power cable and the conductor may generate electric arc or spark, which may cause fire or
eye injury.
l Before installing or removing power cables, you must power off the device.
l Before connecting a power cable, you must ensure that the label on the power cable is
correct.
Device with Power On
DANGER
Installing or removing a device is prohibited if the device is on.
Short Circuits
When installing and maintaining devices, place and use the associated tools and instruments in
accordance with regulations to avoid short-circuits caused by metal objects.
CAUTION
To avoid short-circuits when using a tool (such as a screwdriver), do not place the tool on the
ventilation plate of the subrack.

CAUTION
Prevent any screws from dropping into the subrack or chassis to avoid short-circuits.
Fuse
WARNING
If the fuse on a device blows, replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type and specifications to
ensure safe operation of the device.
Electrostatic Discharge
CAUTION
The static electricity generated by the human body may damage the electrostatic sensitive
components on the board, such as the large-scale integrated circuit (LSI).
l The human body can generate static electromagnetic fields in the following situations:
physical movement, clothing friction, friction between shoes and the ground, plastics in
the hand. Such static electromagnetic effects can remain for an appreciable time.
l Before operating a device, circuit boards, or ASICs, wear an ESD wrist strap that is properly
grounded. The ESD wrist strap can prevent the electrostatic-sensitive components from
being damaged by the static electricity in the human body.
Figure 1-1 shows the method of wearing an ESD wrist strap.

Short-Circuit
DANGER
A battery short-circuit may cause human injuries. Although the voltage of an ordinary battery
is low, the instantaneous high current caused by a short-circuit emits a great deal of energy.
Avoid any short-circuit of batteries caused by metal objects. If possible, disconnect the working
battery before performing other operations.
Hazardous Gas
CAUTION
Do not use any unsealed lead-acid storage battery. Lay a storage battery horizontally and fix it
properly to prevent the battery from emitting flammable gas, which may cause fire or device
erosion.
Working lead-acid storage batteries emit flammable gas. Therefore, ventilation and fireproofing
measures must be taken at the sites where lead-acid storage batteries are placed.
Battery Temperature
CAUTION
If a battery overheats, the battery may be deformed or damaged, and the electrolyte may
overflow.
When the temperature of the battery is higher than 60°C, you need to check whether the
electrolyte overflows. If the electrolyte overflows, take appropriate measures immediately.
Battery Leakage
CAUTION
In the event of acid overflow or spillage, neutralize the acid and clean it up appropriately.
When handling a leaky battery, protect against the possible damage caused by the acid. When
you find the electrolyte leaks, you can use the following substances to counteract and absorb the
leaking electrolyte:
l Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)

l Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3)
In the event of acid overflow or spillage, neutralize the acid and clean it up as recommended by
the battery manufacturer and any local regulations for acid disposal.
If a person contacts battery electrolyte, clean the skin that contacts the battery electrolyte
immediately by using water. In case of a severe situation, the person must be sent to a hospital

CAUTION
If fiber connectors or flanges are contaminated, optical power commissioning is seriously
affected. Therefore, the two endfaces and flange of every external fiber must be cleaned before
the fiber is led into the equipment through the ODF for being inserted into an optical interface
on the equipment.

The fiber connectors and optical interfaces of the lasers must be cleaned with the following
special cleaning tools and materials:
l Special cleaning solvent: It is preferred to use isoamylol. Propyl alcohol, however, can also
be used. It is prohibited that you use alcohol and formalin.
l Non-woven lens tissue
l Special compressed gas
l Cotton stick (medical cotton or long fiber cotton)
l Special cleaning roll, used with the recommended cleaning solvent
l Special magnifier for fiber connectors
For cleaning steps, see Appendix "Inspecting and Cleaning the Fiber-Optical Connectors" in the
OptiX OSN 3500 Intelligent Optical Transmission System Troubleshooting.

Commissioning Guide 5 System Commissioning
5 System Commissioning
About This Chapter
This topic describes the commissioning items and methods of the system commissioning.
5.1 Testing the Received Optical Power of an Optical Interface Board

Incorrect fiber connections may affect service commissioning and configurations, and even
services on live networks. Therefore, during a system commissioning, you must check the fiber
connections of the entire network according to actual network topologies.
5.3 Checking Connection Between the U2000 Computer and the Equipment
The U2000 computer manages equipment by using the U2000 software. If the connection is
improper, the U2000 cannot manage the NEs. To prevent the improper connection of the
U2000 computer, check the connection between the U2000 computer and the equipment, and
make sure that the connection is proper.
Generally, you need not construct a dedicated management and control DCN network during
the network planning process. You can use partial bandwidth on the service network to construct
the management DCN.
After checking the fiber connection and the connection of the U2000 computer, use the
U2000 to create and configure the network. The purpose is to make sure that the U2000 can
manage all NEs and fulfill the following network commissioning tasks.
The software versions of the NEs must be queried and recorded so that the networkwide software
versions are consistent. This topic describes how to query board software versions.

5 System Commissioning Commissioning Guide
In the case of NEs that do not have the NTP service configured, you need to check whether the
NE time is consistent with the NM time, so that the NM can correctly record the time of alarm
generation. Otherwise, manually synchronize the NE time with the NM.
5.8 Enabling, Disabling and Setting Performance Monitoring of the NE
By setting performance monitoring parameters of an NE properly and starting the performance
monitoring for the NE, you can obtain the detailed performance record during the running of
the NE. This facilitates the monitoring and analysis of the NE running status performed by
maintenance personnel.
It is critical for services to achieve clock synchronization on the entire network. To protect
services against a clock failure, you need to test the clock protection switching and ensure that
the clock protection switching can be performed normally in the case of network faults.
The SDH network protection achieves the protection of SDH services. To prevent the failure of
service switching on the SDH network, the network protection switching function must be
normal.
5.11 Testing the Protection Switching Schemes on the PSN Network
The protection switching schemes configured for a PSN network protect the services on the
network. To ensure that the protection switching is normal in the case of a network fault, you
need to test the protection switching schemes on the PSN network.
When the network transmits the Ethernet over SDH (EoS) service, the availability of the EoS
service channels must be tested.
When a network transmits packet services, the availability of packet service channels must be
tested.
After configuring Ethernet services on a PSN network, you need to test Ethernet services to
check whether the configuration is correct.
Cross-domain services refer to the services that are transmitted from the TDM domain to the
packet domain by using the EoD board. After configuring cross-domain services, you need to
test whether the configuration is correct.
After configuring CES services, you need to test connectivity of end-to-end CES services to
ensure that they work properly.
5.17 Testing Packet Loss on Cross-domian Service Channels
To test Ethernet service channels, you can perform a loopback on one side of Ethernet services
and test whether packet loss occurs on the other side by using a Network Analyzer.
The networkwide BER is tested at the end of the network commissioning. The test is performed
to discover potential problems of service channels and to ensure service stability. This topic
describes how to test the networkwide BER.
Orderwire includes the orderwire phone and the conference phone. The orderwire is tested to
confirm that the network-wide orderwire and conference phones work normally.


After the system commissioning is complete, you can check the alarms on the network. In this
manner, you can find and rectify the faults on the network.

5.1 Testing the Received Optical Power of an Optical

Interface Board
Check whether the received optical power has been tested in the per-NE commissioning. If yes,
skip this test. If not, refer to 4.7.2 Testing the Received Optical Power of an Optical Interface
Board.

services on live networks. Therefore, during a system commissioning, you must check the fiber
connections of the entire network according to actual network topologies.
Fibers are connected in different manners for different networking schemes on the SDH network.
If fibers are connected improperly, errors may occur on the later commissioning. More seriously,
the running services may even be affected. To avoid incorrect fiber connection, the network
topology must be provided to check the fiber connection. This topic describes how to check fiber
connection of the SDH network.

Prerequisite
l The network topology must be known.
l The board must be seated and operate normally.

None.
Procedure
Step 1 Check the fiber connection at each site according to the network topology.

l Check the fiber connection of a two-fiber ring. See Figure 5-1.

l Check the fiber connection of a four-fiber ring. See Figure 5-2.
l Check the fiber connection of a non-protection chain. See Figure 5-3.
l Check the fiber connection of a 1+1 or 1:1 linear MS. See Figure 5-4.
l Check the fiber connection of a 1:N (N≤14) linear MS. See Figure 5-5.
NOTE
Optical fibers in a ring network (two-fiber ring or four-fiber ring) are required to be connected in the
direction of the primary ring. That is, the east line board at the local site is connected to the west line board
at the opposite site.
Step 2 If you are on the commissioning site, check the indicators on line boards. The SRV indicator
should not be red.
NOTE
If the SRV indicator does not turn red, it indicates that the optical interface can receive optical signals. If
certain optical interfaces on the multi-interface board are not used, the SRV indicator should turn red. In
this case, you can use the U2000 LCT to query alarms and to check whether the board works normally.
----End
NOTE
For easy illustration and configuration of two pairs of the optical interfaces at an ADM site, suppose the
observer is standing outside the ring and facing the NE, the optical interfaces on the left is defined as west
interfaces and the optical interfaces on the right are defined as east interfaces. Be default, services are sent
in the east and received in the west.

l You must be a U2000 user with the "NE and NM operator" authority or higher.
l The two-fiber bidirectional MSP ring must be created and configured on the U2000. For
details, see "Configuring the Two-Fiber Bidirectional MSP Ring Services" in the

U2000, SDH analyzer
Background
The YD/T 1266-2003 standard specifies that 50 ms is the interval from the time the switching
request is detected to the time the protection switching is complete.
The ITU-T G.841 standard specifies the MSP switching cannot exceed 50 ms if the fiber length
is within 1200 km. The test time by using the meters consists of the time for testing switching
conditions, the time for completing switching, and the time for restoring the service.

When the switching is complete, the service is restored after the restoration time. The restoration
time consists of the transmission time for the service to pass through the optical fiber, and the
time to pass through the equipment.
Methods for testing the MSP switching include:
l Single-end loopback test
l Dual-end analyzer test
Compared with the dual-end analyzer test, the single-end loopback test requires the transmission
time for the service to pass through the optical fiber and the time to pass through the equipment
after the MSP switching.
The following configuration steps specify the differences between the single-end loopback test
and the dual-end analyzer test.

Network
The protection switching schemes configured for a PSN network protect the services on the
network. To ensure that the protection switching is normal in the case of a network fault, you
need to test the protection switching schemes on the PSN network.
5.11.1 Test the MPLS Tunnel APS Protection Switching
On the U2000, you can perform the MPLS Tunnel APS protection switching. The protection
switching operations include the forced switching, exercise switching, manual to working, and
manual to protection.
5.11.2 Testing the MPLS PW APS
The equipment supports MPLS PW APS. The switching commands include forced switching,
exercise switching, manual switching to working, and manual switching to protection.
5.11.1 Test the MPLS Tunnel APS Protection Switching

On the U2000, you can perform the MPLS Tunnel APS protection switching. The protection
switching operations include the forced switching, exercise switching, manual to working, and
manual to protection.

Prerequisite
l The MPLS Tunnel APS must be configured.

U2000
NOTE
After the MPLS tunnel APS protection scheme is configured, the ping test function and traceroute test
function in MPLS OAM cannot be used for the protection channel. Therefore, you need to ensure that the
working tunnel and protection tunnel are normal.
Protection switching includes forced switching, manual switching, and exercise switching.
l In the case of forced switching, the state of the protection channel is not considered, unless
the protection channel is responding to the bridge request of a higher priority. When the
automatic switching fails due to some reason, the forced switching can be performed to
restore the services.
l Commands for manual switching are valid only when there is no signal failure or signal
degradation on the protection tunnel. In the case of manual switching, services can be
manually switched to a working or protection tunnel.
l The exercise switching is used to test the APS protocol. In fact, the services are not switched,
and only the computation result of the protocol is displayed.
You can verify the MPLS Tunnel APS function according to the following aspects:
l If a fault is generated on the network, the MPLS Tunnel APS can still be performed
normally.
l If the protection group is set to the revertive mode, the service can be switched from the
protection tunnel to the working tunnel after the WTR time expires.
l All the commands that trigger manual switching can be issued correctly.

see Figure 5-16, a 2 Mbit/s service is present between Node B and RNC. After the 2 Mbit/s
service is encapsulated, it is transmitted through the working tunnel NE1-NE4-NE3 as shown
in Figure 1. Because the 2 Mbit/s service has a high requirement for safety, a protection tunnel
NE1-NE2-NE3 is created to protect the working tunnel. Then, the 1:1 protection is established
between the two tunnels.

working tunnel to the protection tunnel.
Step 2 If the protection group is set to the revertive mode and if the working tunnel recovers, the service
can be switched from the protection tunnel to the working tunnel after the WTR time expires.
1. Reconnect the fiber that is disconnected in Step Step 1. After the WTR time expires, click
Function > Query Switching Status to check whether Active Tunnel is the specified
Working Tunnel.
Step 3 All the commands that trigger manual switching can be issued correctly.
1. Select the protection group that you want to verify and click Clear under Function. Then,
click Query Switching Status under Function to check whether the command is issued
successfully.

Prerequisite

l The MPLS PW APS protection scheme is configured.

U2000
NOTE
After the MPLS PW APS protection scheme is configured, the ping test function in PW OAM cannot be
used for the protection channel. Therefore, you need to ensure that the working PW and protection PW are
normal.
Switching commands include forced switching, manual switching, and exercise switching.
l In the case of forced switching, the state of the protection channel is not considered, unless
the protection channel is responding to the bridge request with a higher priority. When the
automatic switching fails due to some reason, the forced switching can be performed to
restore the services.
l Commands for manual switching take effect only when there is no signal failure or signal
degradation on the destination PW of the protection switching. In the case of manual
switching, services can be manually switched to a working or protection channel.
l Exercise switching is used to test the APS protocol. In fact, the services are not switched,
and only the computation result of the protocol is displayed.
You can verify the MPLS PW APS function in the following aspects:
l When a fault is generated on the network, MPLS PW APS can be performed normally.
l All the commands that trigger manual switching can be issued correctly.
l When the protection group is set to the revertive mode, the service can be switched from
the protection channel to the working channel after the WTR time expires.

A 2 Mbit/s service is present between the Node B and the RNC. After being encapsulated, the
2 Mbit/s service is transmitted through the working PW of NE1-NE4-NE3, as shown in Figure
5-17. A protection PW of NE1-NE2-NE3 is created to protect the working PW because the 2
Mbit/s service has a high requirement for safety. The two PWs form MPLS APS 1:1 protection.

Cross-domain services refer to the services that are transmitted from the TDM domain to the
packet domain by using the EoD board. After configuring cross-domain services, you need to
test whether the configuration is correct.
Based on the functions of the EoD board in cross-domain services, cross-domain services can
be applied in the following scenarios:
l Application 1
The EoD board receives and processes the EoS services from the TDM domain and then
transmits the services to the packet domain. For details, see Configuration Example
(Application Scenario 1).

l Application 2
The SDH line board receives the EoS services from the TDM domain. Then, the EoD board
processes the EoS services and transmits them to the packet domain. For details, see
Configuration Example (Application Scenario 2).
l Application 3
The EoD board receives and processes the SDH services from the TDM domain (including
pure SDH services and EoS services) and then transmits the pure SDH services to the TDM
domain and the EoS services to the packet domain. For details, see Configuration Example
(Application Scenario 3).
l Application 4
When functioning as a common line board, the EoD board receives and processes the SDH
services (including pure SDH services and EoS services) from the TDM domain, but does
not transmit the services to the packet domain.
You can test cross-domain services by using the following two methods.
Test Method Application Scope
Using the ping This method is simple because it does not require any instrument
commands to test cross- or meter. Use this method to check the status of cross-domain
domain service channels service channels.
Using loopbacks to test This method requires the Network Analyzer. Use this method to
cross-domain service measure the packet loss ratio on cross-domain service channels.

Context
CAUTION
l Ensure that only the commissioning engineers are present during the test.
l Do not touch optical fibers, wires, or cables without permission.
Procedure
Step 1 Connect a SmartBits to the 3-PEG8-1 port on NE1 according to the connection diagram.
Step 2 Log in to the U2000. Start the 15-minute and 24-hour performance monitoring for NE1 and
NE3. For details, see 5.8 Enabling, Disabling and Setting Performance Monitoring of the
NE.
NOTE
The performance monitoring is set to analyze and locate faults that occur during the test.
Step 3 Log in to the U2000. Perform an inloop at the MAC layer on the 2-EFS4-1 port of NE3. For
details, see Setting a Loopback on an Ethernet Port.
Step 4 Use the SmartBits to transmit and receive packets.

NOTE
l When the SmartBits transmits and receives packets for the first time, packet loss occurs due to MAC
address learning. Therefore, it is normal that the number of transmitted packets is different from the
number of received packets.
l In the tests after the first time, if the number of transmitted packets is the same as the number of received
packets, the cross-domain service channels are normal.
l If packet loss occurs during the tests, troubleshoot the fault and then perform 24-hour tests until the
channels pass the tests.

by the BER tester.
Set the BER tester according to the encapsulation method that the CES services adopt and the frame format
that the E1 interface adopts.
l If the CES services adopt the SATop method, you need to enable the BER tester to transmit unframed
signals, double-frame signals, or CRC-4 multiframe signals.
l If the CES services adopt the CESoPSN method and the interface adopts the double-frame format, you
need to enable the BER tester to transmit double-frame signals.
l If the CES services adopt the CESoPSN method and the interface adopts the CRC-4 multiframe format,
you need to enable the BER tester to transmit CRC-4 multiframe signals.
Step 4 Test the performance of the CES services. That is, check whether bit errors occur in the CES
services in the 24-hour period.
Step 5 Check for the alarms associated with the CES services. If there is any, see the Alarms and

1PPS Pulse per second, which, strictly speaking, is not a time synchronization signal. This is
because 1PPS provides only the "gauge" corresponding to the UTC second, but does not
provide the information about the day, month, or year. Therefore, 1PPS is used as the
reference for frequency synchronization. On certain occasions, 1PPS can also be used
on other interfaces for high precision timing.

AIS Alarm Indication Signal
Alarm A means of alerting the operator that specified abnormal condition exists.
Alarm automatic When an alarm is generated on the device side, the alarm is reported to the N2000. Then,
report an alarm panel prompts and the user can view the details of the alarm.
alarm cable The cable for generation of visual or audio alarms.
alarm filtering The alarms are reported to the N2000 BMS, which decides whether to display and save
the alarms according to the filtering states of the alarms. The filtered alarms are not
displayed and saved on the N2000 BMS, but still monitored.
alarm indication On the cabinet of an NE, there are four indicators in different colors indicating the current
status of the NE. When the green indicator is on, it indicates that the NE is powered on.
When the red indicator is on, it indicates that a critical alarm is generated. When the
orange indicator is on, it indicates that a major alarm is generated. When the yellow
indicator is on, it indicates that a minor alarm is generated. The ALM alarm indicator on
the front panel of a board indicates the current status of the board. (Metro)
Alarm indication signal A code sent downstream in a digital network as an indication that an upstream failure
has been detected. It is associated with multiple transport layers.
Alarm inversion For the port that has already been configured but has no service, this function can be
used to avoid generating relevant alarm information, thus preventing alarm interference.
The alarm report condition of the NE port is related to the alarm inverse mode (not
inverse, automatic recovery and manual recovery) setting of the NE and the alarm
inversion status (Enable and Disable) setting of the port. When the alarm inversion mode
of NE is set to no inversion, alarms of the port will be reported as usual no matter whatever
the inversion status of the port is. When the alarm inversion mode of the NE is set to
automatic recovery, and the alarm inversion state of the port is set to Enabled, then the
alarm of the port will be suppressed. The alarm inversion status of the port will
automatically recover to "not inverse" after the alarm ends. For the port that has already
been configured but not actually loaded with services, this function can be used to avoid
generating relevant alarm information, thus preventing alarm interference. When the
alarm inverse mode of the NE is set as "not automatic recovery", if the alarm inversion
status of the port is set as Enable, the alarm of the port will be reported.
Alarm Masking Alarms are detected and reported to the N2000 UMS, and whether the alarm information
is displayed and stored is decided by the function of alarm masking. These alarms masked
are not displayed and stored on the N2000 UMS.
Alarm Severity Alarm severity is used to identify the impact of a fault on services. According to ITU-T
recommendations, the alarm is classified into four severities: Critical, Major, Minor,
Warning.

Alarm suppression When alarms of various levels occur at the same time, certain lower-level alarms are
suppressed by higher-level alarms, and thus will not be reported.

Check a complex calculation to generate a number based on the data transmitted. The sending
device performs the calculation before transmission and includes it in the packet that it
sends to the receiving device. The receiving device repeats the same calculation after
transmission. If both devices obtain the same result, it is assumed that the transmission
was error free. The procedure is known as a redundancy check because each transmission
includes not only data but extra (redundant) error-checking values. Communications
protocols such as XMODEM and Kermit use cyclical redundancy checking.

communication status between the gateway NE and the U2000 can be:(1) Normal: The
current communication is efficient; (2) Connecting: The destination gateway responds,
and the communication is interrupted but is being connected; (3) Disconnected: The
destination gateway does not respond (Maybe the network cable is disconnected or not
within the same network segment), and the communication is unreachable or the gateway
is disabled manually.

S1 byte In an SDH network, each network element traces step by step to the same clock reference
source through a specific clock synchronization path, thus realizing the synchronization
of the whole network. If a clock reference source traced by the NE is lost, the clock of
this NE will trace another clock reference source of lower level. To implement protection
switching of clocks in the whole network, the NE must learn about the clock quality
information of the clock reference source it traces. Therefore, ITU-T defines S1 byte to
transmit the network synchronization status information. It uses the lower four bits of
the multiplex section overhead S1 byte to indicate 16 types of synchronization quality
grades. The specific coding information is shown in the following table. Auto protection
switching of clocks in the synchronous network can be implemented by using S1 byte
