Preparation for Commission
 Commissioning Precautions
 Before commissioning, the installation engineer must work out the hardware quality check
report. The installation engineer must ensure that the quality of the installation project does
not affect later commissioning. In particular, pay attention to how the installation engineer
test the installed fibers.
 The instruments involved in testing need to be calibrated. The instruments that need to be
grounded must be well grounded.
 The error introduced by the accessories involved in testing (including fiber jumpers and
flange) must be calculated in the test values.
 Fibers must be cleaned during the system commissioning process. When you clean the
fibers, you must use the special fiber cleaner, and use the fiber microscope to check
whether the fiber interface is clean. Use lint-free wipes or (cassette cleaner) to clean the
fiber jumper interface. Use the compressed air dedusting agent to clean the female
connector.
 All paths must be involved in the system commissioning. You need to commission all
wavelengths that transmit optical power, to ensure that all paths that are initially configured
are in the optimum status.
 Record the commissioning data in details (optical amplifier unit, input and output optical
power of the OTU).

Commission Requirement and Method for
Optical Amplifier Unit
 1. Commissioning Requirement for Optical Amplifier Unit
 Optical power
 Adjust the average optical power level of input and output wavelengths to or close to the
one-channel standard input and output optical power.
 Adjust the number of wavelengths that are greater than the average one-channel optical
power to be equal to the number of wavelengths that are smaller than the average one-
channel optical power.
 Adjust the flatness of each one-channel optical power, so that the OSNR of the receive end
is flat and meets the design requirement. If the optical power flatness meets the index
requirement, the optical power flatness can be sacrificed to guarantee the signal noise ratio.
 Definition of one-channel standard optical power
 The one-channel standard optical power means that one channel should be adjusted to a
value that guarantees the optimum performance. This value is generated based on the
OSNR and non-linear balance and is the maximum input and output one-channel optical
power that an optical amplifier unit allows.
 OSNR requires higher optical power. The higher the optical power, the better the OSNR.
 Excessive optical power can result in non-linear impact. The lower the input optical power,
the smaller the non-linear impact.
 The one-channel standard optical power can be calculated based on the maximum optical
power index.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 15


Commission Requirement and Method for
Optical Amplifier Unit
 1. Commissioning Requirement for Optical Amplifier Unit

Calculation of one-channel standard optical power for optical amplifier unit
 Suppose the one-channel standard optical power is S (mW), 10lgS (dBm).
 Suppose the maximum number of add or drop wavelengths is N for the optical amplifier unit
and the optical power of each wavelength is the same, then
 Total optical power 10lgNS=10lgS+10lgN = maximum input and output optical power

The one-channel standard input and output optical power 10lgS = maximum input and
output optical power - 10lgN, where N is the number of input wavelengths when the optical
amplifier unit supports full wavelengths.
 For example, the input optical power range of an optical amplifier unit is -32 to -3 dBm and
the maximum output optical power is 20 dBm

When the optical amplifier unit supports 40 wavelengths, the one-channel standard input
optical power is -3 - 10lg40 = -19dBm
 When the optical amplifier unit supports 40 wavelengths, the one-channel standard output
optical power is 20-10lg40 = 4dBm
 Question: is the number of wavelengths when the system supports full wavelengths equals
to the number of wavelengths when the optical amplifier unit supports full wavelengths?
 No. For some WDM systems, the number of wavelengths when the optical amplifier unit
supports full wavelengths is not equal to the number of wavelengths when the system
supports full wavelengths. For example, the C+L band 80-channel system and the C+L
band 160-channel system.

 2. Flatness Requirement in Commissioning One-Channel Optical
Power
 Flatness requirement of one-channel optical power

 Adjust the optical power of each wavelength to fall inside the range (-2 dB to 2 dB) of
average one-channel optical power. Under special conditions (RAMAN/ROP/ULH has
worse OSNR), the index requirement also apply.
 If the optical power flatness meet the index requirement, the optical power flatness can
be sacrificed to guarantee the flatness of OSNR (or BER).
 Method of adjusting one-channel optical power flatness
 “adjust the transmit end based on the receive end”―monitor the receive end and adjust
the transmit end to ensure optical power flatness at the receive end.
 The purpose of adjusting the optical power flatness of each wavelength is to ensure that
the OSNR of the receive end is flat and meets the design requirement. If the designed
OSNR is not met, the OSNR and flatness need to be further adjusted.
 Before an optical amplifier unit is adjusted, ensure that the attenuator of each
wavelength has enough tunable range. Set the initial value according to tunable range.
 Notes
 1. Currently, you can adjust the optical power flatness of each wavelength only when
each wavelength has a tunable attenuator. If not in the case, you can only check, but
cannot adjust the flatness of transmitted optical power.
 2. After you adjust the one-channel average optical power of an optical amplifier unit,
consider to adjust the optical power flatness of each wavelength at the receive end.

 3. Method of Commissioning One-Channel Optical Power
 One-channel input optical power
 If the one-channel average input optical power before you add an
attenuator is higher than the one-channel standard input optical
power, adjust the variable optical attenuator (VOA) to enable the one-
channel average input optical power to reach the standard.
 If the one-channel average input optical power cannot reach the one-
channel standard input optical power, remove the VOA at the input
end of the amplifier. In this way, the one-channel average input optical
power remains the maximum optical power.
 One-channel output optical power
 Do not adjust the output optical power for optical amplifier units except the
OAU. The one-channel optical power that is output based on fixed gain is the
standard optical power.
 For the E2OAU, set an EVOA to enable the one-channel output optical power to
reach the standard.
 If the E3OAU and the C6OAU has an EVOA, set gain = one-channel
standard output optical power - adjusted one-channel average input
optical power
 For the OAU that does not have an EVOA, adjust the VOA of TDC/RDC to enable
the one-channel average output optical power to reach the standard.

 The OptiX 1600G III model system is a 40x10G system. The calculated one-
channel standard input optical power is - 20 dBm and the output optical power
is +4 dBm.
 If the one-channel average input optical power before you add a VOA is - 15 dBm,
 adjust the VOA to enable the one-channel average input optical power to reach
the standard. In this case, the one-channel average input optical power =- 20
dBm, the gain is = 4 - ( - 20) = 24dB.
 If the one-channel average input optical power before you add a VOA is - 25 dBm,
 remove the VOA to enable the one-channel average input optical power to
reach the largest value. In this case, the one-channel average input optical
power =- 25 dBm, the gain is = 4 - ( - 25) = 29dB.
 Method of commissioning an OAU without EVOA
 adjust the VOA to enable the one-channel average input optical power to reach
the standard. Adjust the MVOA to enable the one-channel average output
optical power to reach the standard (+4 dBm).

 If the total input optical power before you add a VOA is higher than the total
standard optical power, adjust the VOA to enable the total input optical
power to reach the standard. In this case, the one-channel average input
optical power = one-channel standard input optical power.
 If the total input optical power cannot reach the total standard input optical
power, remove the VOA at the input end of the amplifier, to enable the total
input optical power to remain the maximum optical power.
 Total output optical power
 Do not adjust the output optical power for optical amplifier units except the
OAU. The optical power that is output based on fixed gain is the standard
optical power.
 For the E2OAU, adjust the EVOA to enable the total output optical power to
reach the standard.
 If the E3OAU and C6OAU has an EVOA, set the gain to enable the total

 4. Method of Commissioning Total Optical Power
 Definition of standard total optical power
 The standard total optical power refers to the total optical power
when you adjust one channel to reach the standard one-channel
optical power.
 Calculation of total standard optical power
 Total standard optical power = one-channel standard optical
power++10lgn+offset
 The definition of the one-channel standard optical power is the
same as what is described in previous pages
 n is the number of wavelengths contained in the signal that
accesses an amplifier
 Offset is the optical power compensation that is added for noise
impact when you use the optical power meter to commission a
system. The smaller the number of wavelengths, the lower is
OSNR, the larger the compensation value.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 25


Commission Requirement and Method for
Optical Amplifier Unit
 4. Method of Commissioning Total Optical Power
 Theoretical calculation of total optical power
 Noise optical power = 10lgN1 = 10lg (40 x 8 x N) = 10lgS (output/input
average one-channel optical power of the optical amplifier unit) - 10lgS/N
(local OSNR) + 10 x lg8 + 10 x lg40. N1 is the total noise optical power, N
is 0.1 nm noise optical power. OSNR defines the noise as 0.1 nm.
 Signal optical power = 10LgS1 = 10lgnS = 10lgS (output/input average
one-channel optical power of the optical amplifier unit) + 10lgn. n is the
current number of wavelengths, S1 is the total signal optical power, and S
is the one-channel signal optical power.
 Total optical power = 10lg (S1 + N1)
 offset = 10lg (S1+N1) - 10lgS1 = 10lg (1 + N1/S1), N1=40 x 8 x N, S1=nS
 offset = 10lg (1 + (40 x 8/n) x N/S)
 Note: This method can be used to verify the total optical power that is
calculated by using the previous method.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 26


Commission Requirement and Method for
Optical Amplifier Unit
 4. Method of Commissioning Total Optical Power
 Sample offset computation
 For example, the one-channel standard output optical power of an optical amplifier
unit is adjusted to +4 dBm. The OSNR is 22 dB. Totally there are two wavelengths.
What is the total standard output optical power that should be commissioned?
 OSNR = 10lgS/N = 22 dB
 N/S = 0.0063
 offset = 10lg (1 +(40 x 8/n) x N/S) = 10lg (1 + (40 x 8/2) x 0.0063) = 3 dB
 offset is irrelevant to the input and output optical power, but is relevant to OSNR,
amplification range of an optical amplifier unit (for example, 320 nm, 1529 nm-
1561 nm, 40 channel x 0.8 nm) and the number of current add/drop wavelengths.
 The wavelength range is a fixed parameter for the optical amplifier unit. The
higher OSNR, the less offset. The more wavelengths, the less offset.
 For 10 channels, offset = 10lg (1+(40 x 8/n) x N/S) = 10lg (1+ (40 x 8/10) x
0.0063) = 0.8 dB

 You can estimate the offset compensation value by means of OSNR and the
OSNR can be estimated by using the OSNR calculation tool.
 If the one-channel optical power deviation is large, the estimated offset may
be largely different.

 5. Improved Commissioning Method of Total Optical Power
 Commissioning method by adjusting optical power by attenuation
 A. As the OSNR of the input optical power of the optical amplifier unit at
the OTM at the initial end is small, you can directly use it to calculate
the total standard input optical power = one-channel standard optical
power + 10lgN, where N is the number of wavelengths.

unit in the downstream direction = queried total optical power of the

optical power of the optical amplifier unit in the upstream direction -
one-channel standard input optical power of the optical amplifier unit in
the downstream direction). Adjust the VOA to enable the total input
optical power in the downstream direction to be the total standard input
optical power. If you fail to adjust the value to the standard value,
remove the VOA to enable the input optical power to remain the
maximum value. Then, you can query the total input optical power in
the downstream direction.

 6. Commissioning Requirement and Method on Optical Power of Raman Amplifier
 Method of commissioning optical power of Raman amplifier – gain
 1. After you connect fibers, when you have not turned on a pump laser, use the optical
spectrum analyzer to monitor the MON port on a Raman amplifier and test the optical
power of a one-channel signal.
 2. Set the pump optical power to a recommended value. You need to set it for two pump
groups.
 3. Turn on the two groups of pump lasers and read the optical power of the one-channel
signal by using the optical spectrum analyzer.
 4. Compare the optical power of the one-channel signal when the pump laser is on and
that when the pump laser is off, and calculate the switch gain.
 5. If the switch gain is less than 10 dB, you can moderately increase the two groups of
output pump optical power by 0.1 dB at a time, until the minimum channel switch gain
is large than 10 dB.
 Note: As you must enable IPA by using the T2000, a direct test on SYS enables IPA and
shuts down the Raman pump. As a result, you cannot commission the optical power of
the Raman amplifier.
 Notes:
 The working current threshold crossing alarm indicates that you set a high value for the
pump optical power and need to set it to a lower value. The pump optical power that
you set cannot generate this alarm. If this alarm is generated and the gain cannot reach
the value of 10 dB, you need to shut down the laser and check or replace fibers.

 6. Commissioning Requirement and Method on Optical Power of Raman Amplifier
 Method of commissioning optical power of Raman amplifier – gain flatness
 1. After you adjust the switch gain to meet the value of 10 dB, compare the gain flatness of each
channel and check whether they fall inside the range of 3 dB. If so, usually you need not adjust the gain
flatness.
 2. If the gain flatness of each channel exceeds 3 dB, or wavelengths concentrate on a wavelength, and
you cannot correctly verify whether the gain spectrum is flat, you need to use ASE spectrum to verify it.
 3. After you stop the signals at the transmit end, keep the same pump settings, and turn on the pump
laser. Use the optical spectrum analyzer to test the SYS port. The test result is the ASE spectrum.
 4. Compare the two wave peaks of 1535 nm and 1560 nm wavelengths in ASE spectrum. See if the
optical power of the wave peak of the 1535 nm wavelength is approximately 1.2 dB (0.7 dB to 1.7 dB )
higher than that of the 1560 nm wavelength. If the compared value falls inside this range, you need not
adjust the gain flatness.
 Note 1: Generally, you need not adjust the gain flatness. This method of adjusting gain flatness cannot
be performed by using the T2000 because stopping signals at the transmit end turns off the pump of
the Raman board.
 Note 2: For the purpose of security, you must use the T2000 to enable IPA before you can turn on the
laser. Hence, when you turn on the laser, you must set the IPA auxiliary detection of Raman, to ensure
that IPA does not shut down the laser during testing.

 5. If the optical power of the wave peak of the 1535 nm wavelength is 1.7 dB
higher than that of the 1560 nm wavelength, decrease the pump optical power
of pump laser group 1 by 0.1 dB and increase the pump optical power of pump
laser group 2 by 0.1 dB, until the optical power difference meets the
requirement.
 6. If the optical power of the wave peak of the 1535 nm wavelength is less
than 0.7 dB higher than that of the 1560 nm wavelength, increase the pump
optical power of pump laser group 1 by 0.1 dB and decrease the pump optical
power of pump laser group 2 by 0.1 dB, until the optical power difference
meets the requirement.
 7. After you adjust the gain flatness, you need to re-test the switch gain. If the
switch gain of all channels cannot be large than 10 dB, you need to re-adjust
the switch gain in the way as described previously.
 Note: Adjusting the pump optical power of pump laser group 1 changes the
optical power of the 1535 nm wavelength. Adjusting the pump optical power
of pump laser group 2 changes the optical power of the 1560 nm wavelength.

 Raman line requirements
 The Raman amplifier has a high requirement on the near-end line fiber loss. There
should be no connector in the circumference of 0 km to 20 km except at one end of
the ODF. The two ends of fibers at all connection points must be fusion spliced.
 Before you use a Raman amplifier, you must use OTDR to test the fibers on the
line. It is recommended that the additional loss of the single-point loss event of
fibers and cables in the line should meet the following criteria: the single-point
additional loss is less than 0.1 dB (G652) or 0.2 dB (G655) in the circumference of
0 km to 10 km; the single-point additional loss is less than 0.2 dB (G652) or 0.4 dB
(G655) in the circumference of 10 km to 20 km; the single-point additional loss is
less than 0.4 dB in the circumference of 20 km to 30 km; the single-point additional
loss is less than 1 dB in the circumference of 30 km to 40 km; the single-point
additional loss is less than 2 dB in the circumference of more than 40 km. In
addition, the single-point return loss cannot be less than 40 dB.
 The fiber connector must be clean. If a spot appears on the fiber connector, the
connector may easily be blown out.
 The bending radius of a fiber jumper should be more than 4 cm. A large bending
radius can blow out the fiber jump.

 Commissioning precautions
 The negative output optical power of a Raman amplifier can be 27 dBm. When you
insert and remove a fiber end, ensure that the laser is off as the laser exposure
can cause permanent eye damage.
 Currently, Raman amplifiers use backward pump structure. Strong pump lights are
accessed to fibers through the input end (line) instead of the output end (SYS).
 The Raman amplifier (all amplifier units on release 5.0 NEs) provides the
automatic restart function after the laser is off for five minutes. This function must
be disabled for Raman amplifiers and HBA high optical power units on the field.
 For the purpose of security, you must set IPA by using the latest version of the
T2000 before you can turn on the Raman pump lights.
 Do not add non-fiber equipment and units, such as an attenuator and fiber jumper,
at the input end of SSE1RPA/C.
 Use the special APC fiber connector. If you use the PC fiber connector, great
reflection can blow out the fiber connector.

 Commissioning Requirement on Optical Power In the Event of No
Amplification (e.g. CWDM)
 You need not commission the optical power in the line for the wavelengths
that do not pass the amplifier, and need not ensure the optical power
flatness of each wavelength in the line.
 If an amplifier is not installed at the local transmit end but one is installed
at the opposite receive end, you need to adjust the flatness of launched
optical power of each wavelength to a high value as much as possible.
 If an amplifier is not installed at the local receive end, you need not use a
VOA to adjust the optical power of the dropped wavelengths in the line.
 CWDM has no amplifier as CWDM has wide wavelength frequency that
results in a high cost to install an amplifier.

Commission Requirement and Method for OTU
 1. Commissioning Requirement for OTU
 Basic commissioning requirements
 The input optical power of the OTU must meet the requirement of “receiver
sensitivity+3 to overload point - 5”.
 The received optical power of the OTU should be in the level of the middle value
between the overload point and the sensitivity.
 Multiple types of OTU boards should be normalized whenever possible for easy
management.
 The bit error rate before error correction of an OTU should be less than -7. The
value that is less than -11 is better.
 Method
 Test the received optical power of the OTU, and add, change or remove a fixed
optical attenuator according to the requirements on the optical power.
 Notes
 During commissioning, it is forbidden that the optical power that exceeds the
overload point is accessed into the receive interface on the OTU. Otherwise, the
optical module may be blown out. Exercise caution when you use the OTDR.
 When you use the OTDR, you should disconnect the fiber on the opposite ODF.
Though the optical power that the OTDR tests is small, the optical power of a
pulse signal can transiently be up to 20 dBm. If the optical power that exceeds
the overload point is accessed into the local equipment by mistake or the fiber
on the opposite ODF is not disconnected, the optical module is easily blown out.

Commission Requirement and Method for OTU
 1. Commissioning Requirement for OTU
 Commissioning requirements on special OTU
 The boards (the last letter of a board name is s) that support Super
WDM and the same type of boards that do not support Super WDM have
inconsistent transmitted waveform due to inconsistent transmitting
modules and coding methods. The boards that support Super WDM has
a better OSNR tolerance and can be interconnected with the same type
of boards that do not support Super WDM. The way of commissioning
the optical power for the boards that support Super WDM is the same as
the way of commissioning the optical power of other OTU boards. When
you use an optical spectrum analyzer to test the optical power, use the
special instrument, such as Aglint86145B. The signal peak bandwidth
that you need to set is 0.5 nm and the noise RES bandwidth is 0.1 nm.
 The way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU boards with
FEC/AFEC is the same as the way of commissioning the optical power for
the OTU boards without FEC. Be aware that the OTU boards without FEC
cannot be interconnected with the OTU boards with FEC/AFEC. The
designed OSNR tolerance for the OTU boards without FEC and that for
the OTU boards with FEC/AFEC are better.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 48


Commission Requirement and Method for OTU
 1. Commissioning Requirement for OTU
 Commissioning requirements on special OTU
 There is no difference in the commissioning requirements and methods

for 10G OTU and 2.5G OTU boards. But, the dispersion tolerance that you
configure for 10G OTU boards is smaller than that you configure for 2.5G
OTU boards. Hence, you need to add DCM for dispersion compensation.
 The way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU boards that

support GE services is the same as the way of commissioning the optical


power for the OTU boards that support SDH services. You need to use
smartbits to test bit errors. In addition, set the same auto-negotiation
mode for both ends.
 The way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU board at the 50

GHz spacing is the same as the way of commissioning the optical power
for the OTU board at the 100 GHz spacing. The 50G CRZ signal cannot be
directly tested by using the optical spectrum analyzer. Only the integral
test method can be used.
 The way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU boards with the

optical tunable transponder is the same as the way of commissioning the


optical power for other OTU boards. You can use the T2000 to set
wavelengths.

As for WDM side in 1600G OTM, the configuration rules of the optical attenuators
are as follows:
An Optical Amplifier Unit is required for pass-through wavelengths added
currently or in the future. Fixed attenuators are not needed between OA and
D40, while they are required on receiving port of OTU at WDM side: 15 dB is
added for APD and 7 dB is for PIN..
As for WDM side in 6100 OTM, a tunable attenuator is needed on each pass-
through wavelength as well as on added wavelength.

power of the drop wavelength that has the smallest insertion loss is -6dBm. (Metro
6100 does not have the attenuator, and needs not to be adjusted.)
2 Test the optical power of the drop wavelength from LWF-IN. The largest optical
power is -6dBm and others are about -6.5dBm, -8dBm, and -8,5dBm. If the
wavelength dropped from the OUT is received by APD, you need to add 10dBm
attenuation. (For the Metro 6100, you need to add the fixed attenuation, and add a
10dBm attenuator for LWF. The input optical power of LWF is about -8dBm.)
3 Use the spectrum analyzer to test the single wavelength optical power of the OBU-
IN. Adjust the VOA between the west and east OADMs so that the average single
wavelength optical power of the pass-through wavelengths is -19dBm (standard
OBU single wavelength optical power) at the transmit OBU-IN.
4 Adjust the VOA between the MR2 and each LWF-OUT with wavelengths added so
that the single wavelength optical power of each added wavelength is -19dBm on

 RMU is mainly used together with WSS to realize the
wavelength adding at the local site and the inter-ring
EXPI OUT
connections from multiple directions.

MI
 Normally, you only need to cascade MI and MO to add
MON
or drop the local wavelength through the Add port.
MO  If the optical power budget for some adding signals is
tight, you can cascade an amplifier between MI and
MON
MO. For example, if the optical power becomes low
after a 10G signal experiences the duel fed and
selective receiving at the OLP, the optical power may
be too low for an add wavelength. In this case, you
RMU need to cascade an amplifier to solve the problem.
Add

 When the RMU is used for inter-ring interconnection, only the Add to MO section is involved.
Hence, if the WSS+RMU is used in inter-ring interconnection, the default pass-through port is
no longer the IN port, but one of the Add ports.
 RMU also supports cascading multiple levels and adding/dropping more wavelengths. But this
way of configuration is not recommended because in this scenario, the optical power budget is
very tight.
 The optical detection function and MON port are configured at the IN and MO ports of the RMU.
They are used to supervise the optical signals and detect the in signals and out signals by
using the external meters or the MCA functional unit.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 102


ROADM Commission

The RMU is used to play the part of the multiplexing function of WSS.
Since the Add port is insensitive to the wavelengths, RMU enables any
wavelengths to be added from any port. RMU includes a 1*2 combiner
and a 1*8 combiner. When it is used as an intra-ring ROADM, the MI
and MO can be directly connected, and an amplifier can be cascaded.
The 1*8 combiner is used to combine the adding signals, and the 1*2
combiner is used to combine the local signals with the pass-through
signals. When it is used as an inter-ring ROADM, the MI and OUT ports
are not involved in the channel combination. Only the 1*8 combiner is
used to combine the signals from different directions.

the lowest and find out the wavelength that has the lowest optical power. Adjust the
VOA for all other wavelengths so that the single-wavelength optical power of each
wavelength equals to the lowest optical power.
