The commissioning of NE3 includes three parts:
Powering on the equipment
Accessing the Web LCT
Configuring NE3 with services by using the Web LCT and checking the
equipment
After reading through this section, you can learn the entire procedures of NE
commissioning, and can complete commissioning of NE1, NE2, and NE4 accordingly.
3.3.1 Powering On the Equipment
It is recommended that you set the fuse capacity of the power of the IDU 610 to 5 A,
and set the fuse capacity of the power of the IDU 620 to 12 A. The recommended
values meet the requirements of the full configuration. If the fuse needs to be selected
according to the actual configurations, calculate the fuse capacity according to the
following formulas:
48 V power system: fuse capacity = (total power consumption x 1.5)/42
60 V power system: fuse capacity = (total power consumption x 1.5)/52.5
The maximum power consumption of each component of the OptiX RTN 600 is as
follows:
IDU 610: 37 W
IDU 620: 93.8 W
ODU of SP/LP series: 40 W
ODU of HP series: 58 W
Caution:
If the PXC boards are configured with board-level 1+1 protection, the two PXC
boards must use input power with the same standard voltage.
The "SYS-PWR" switch on the PXC board and the "ODU-PWR" switch on the IF
board both have the locking device. Hence, you need to pull the switch lever
outward slightly before dipping it. When the switch is at the "O" position, it
indicates that the locking device is off. When the switch is at the "I" position, it
indicates that the locking device is on.
Step Operation
1 Set the "SYS-PWR" switch on the PXC board to "O".
2 Set the "ODU-PWR" switch on the IF board to "O".
OptiX RTN 600 Remote Operation Guide INTERNAL
2011-08-14 Huawei confidential. No spreading without permission. Page 18 of 55
Step Operation
3 Turn on the power switch of the power supply device of the IDU.
4
Use the multimeter to test the voltage and polarization of the input power at the access point (such as the output terminal of the power box on the cabinet).
If the standard voltage of the input power is –48 V, the tested value of the voltage should range from –38.4 V to –57.6 V.
If the standard voltage of the input power is –60 V, the tested value of the voltage should range from –48 V to –72 V.
5 Set the "SYS-PWR" switch on the PXC board to "I".
6
Check the indicators of each board of the IDU.
Board indicators should comply with the following statuses and sequences:
The "PWR" indicator on the PXC board that has accessed the power of the cabinet must be on (green).
The "PROG" indicator on the SCC board must undergo the entire process: goes on (green), goes off, flashes green, and then goes off.
The "STAT" indicator on the SCC board should on green.
7 Se the "ODU-PWR" switch on the IF board to "I".
Caution:
When the test voltage is beyond the range, first rectify the fault in the power supply
device. The abnormal voltage may cause damage to the equipment, or even personal
injury.
Note:
For the meanings of board indicators, refer to the OptiX RTN 600 Radio Transmission
System Hardware Description.
Due to the impacts of the data configuration, the "STAT" indicator on certain boards is
not lit when the equipment is powered on.
3.3.2 Accessing the Web LCT
1 Start up the laptop computer, and log in to the operating system.
2 Set the IP address of this computer. The IP address should comply with the
following requirements:
IP address: The IP address is within the 129.9.0.0 network segment, and is
different from the IP address of the NE.
OptiX RTN 600 Remote Operation Guide INTERNAL
2011-08-14 Huawei confidential. No spreading without permission. Page 19 of 55
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway (default): null
3 Connect the network interface of the laptop computer to the "ETH" interface of
the SCC board through the network cable and the extension network cable. The
ETH interface supports the MDI/MDI-X autosensing. Hence, you can use the
straight through cable or crossover cable to connect it. In this case, the green
indicators of the "ETH" interface and network interface of the laptop computer
should be on. In addition, when you set the prompt for the local area connection
in the operating system of the laptop computer, the prompt that the network has
been connected is displayed.
4 The IE displays the Login Interface of the Web LCT.
5 Enter the user name and password, and click Login. The default user name is
admin, and the default password is T2000. If the user name and password are
correct, the NE List page is displayed.
3.3.3 Configuring the Data
I. Creating and Logging In to NEs
You can create an NE by searching this NE or manually adding this NE. During NE
commissioning at a station, an NE is created by searching this NE, because the NE ID
is normally not known in the case of initial NE configuration.
For the procedures for creating an NE by searching this NE, refer to the OptiX RTN
600 Radio Transmission System Configuration Guide.
The equipment in the equipment room supports remote commissioning. The NE ID is
preset, and cannot be modified. Thus, NEs can be created by researching the NEs or
manually adding the NEs in the case of operation in the equipment room. NEs can be
created only by manually adding the NEs in the case of remote commissioning.
1 In NE List, click Add NE. The system displays the Add NE dialog box.
2 In the dialog box, set the NE ID to “3”, and the password to “password”.
3 Click OK. At this time, a new NE is added into the NE List.
4 Double-click the logged NE or click NE Explorer. Then the NE Explorer is
displayed.

Note:
When the logical boards that are configured with an NE are inconsistent with the
physical boards, the slot layout diagram will be different from the slot layout as shown
in this figure. To learn the specific meanings of the slot layout, click Legend.
II. Initializing NEs
The equipment in the equipment room at HQ has been commissioned for several
times during training, and thus may contain information of previous commissioning. In
this case, it is recommended that you initialize the equipment and clear all original
configurations on the equipment before NE configuration.
1 Select the NE in the Object Tree in the NE Explorer. Choose Configuration >
Quick Configuration from the Function Tree.
2 Click Next. Then the Quick Configuration dialog box is displayed.
OptiX RTN 600 Remote Operation Guide INTERNAL
2011-08-14 Huawei confidential. No spreading without permission. Page 21 of 55
3 Click Next. The Quick Configuration dialog box is displayed.
4 Click Exit. Check the NE explorer and find that only 2-SCC/21-EOW exists in the
Object Tree.
III. Modifying the NE ID/IP Address
The NE ID needs to be modified based on the engineering plan, during the site
commissioning, to ensure that the NE ID is unique. The modification does not affect
services but affect the communication between the Web LCT and the NE. After the
modification of the NE ID, create the NE, log in to it again and then you can establish
the communication between the NE and the Web LCT.
1 Select the NE from the Object Tree in the NE Explorer. Choose Configuration >
NE Attribute from the Function Tree.
2 Click Modify NE ID. The system displays the Modify NE ID dialog box.
3 Set the NE ID by referring to Table 3-2.
4 Click OK.
OptiX RTN 600 Remote Operation Guide INTERNAL
2011-08-14 Huawei confidential. No spreading without permission. Page 22 of 55
After the NE ID is modified, you can modify the NE IP address based on the
engineering plan.
The NE IP address is normally set to be related to the NE ID, that is, the first byte of
the IP address is set to "129“, the second byte of the IP address is set to be the same
as the extended NE ID, and the last two bytes are set to be the same as the NE ID.
For example, when the NE ID is "49136" and the extended NE ID is "9", the NE IP
address should be "129.9.191.240", in which 191 x 256 + 240 = 49136.
Caution:
In the case of remote access, the NE ID/IP address cannot be modified.
If the NE ID is modified during site operation in the equipment room, change the NE ID
to the original value after the commissioning. Otherwise, later remote operations may
be affected.
IV. Adding Logical Boards
If a physical board does not match the board as allocated in the slot layout diagram
(that is, logical board), re-configure the logical board in the slot layout diagram. The
NE software manages the physical board as one or multiple logical boards. In the
case of the OptiX RTN 600:
The SCC physical board is managed as two logical boards: SCC and EOW. The
slot for the logical SCC board is slot 1, and the slot for the logical EOW board is
slot 21.
Any other physical board of the IDU is managed as the logical board with the
same name. The slot number of the logical board is the same as the slot number
of the physical board.
The ODU is managed as a logical board ODU. The slot number for the logical
board is the slot number of the IF board that the ODU is connected to plus 10.
1 Observe the Slot Layout on the NE Explorer. Specify the boards to be added or
deleted depending on the legend and the physical boards.
2 Right-click the slot of which the board is to be deleted, and select Delete from the
drop-down menu. Before deleting the board, delete the services, clock priority
level, orderwire (broadcast data), and protection configuration on the board.
3 Right-click the slot in which a board is to be inserted, and select Add xxx. "xxx"
indicates the name of the board to be added. You can add the IF boards and
service boards only if the PXC board is added.

Note:
The STAT indicator will be lit only when the physical boards on the IDU match the
logical boards.
V. Configuring IF 1+1 Protection
If a radio link is configured with the 1+1 HSB/FD/SD protection, the relative
information of the IF 1+1 protection needs to be configured.
1 Select the board from the Object Tree in the NE Explorer. Choose
Configuration > IF 1+1 Protection from the Function Tree.
2 Click Create. The system displays the Create IF 1+1 Protection dialog box.
3 Configure each parameter of the IF 1+1 protection based on the planned IF 1+1
protection attributes.
4 Click OK.
VI. Configuring the Information of IF Interfaces
When no protection is configured, each IF board needs to be configured with IF
interface information.
When the 1+1 protection is configured, only working IF boards need to be configured

6 Set Database Backup setting to Auto backup database.
7 Set the software to be rolled back. If an error occurs when the simulation
software package is loaded or activated on an NE, you can use the software
package whose version is consistent with the version before the loading to
perform rollback and restore the software that runs on the NE to the version
before the loading. In this example, the original version is 5.54.01.13. Therefore,
select 5.54.01.13 for Rollbacking Software.

8 Click Start to load the NE software.
9 After the software is successfully loaded, click Activate to reset the NE. After the
NE starts to run, the NE software upgrade is complete. If the simulation package
includes the FPGA of the service board, the board is cold reset after it is
activated, and then the services related to the board are interrupted.
10 Click Finish after the software is activated.
Check whether Running Version is consistent with Upgrade Version, and whether
the running version is the target version.

Repeat steps 1–10 to upgrade the software of NE2, NE3, and NE4.
Note:
After you click Finish, the Rollback operation cannot be performed.
If Rollboak, instead of Finish, is selected, the activated software is rolled back to
the version 5.54.01.13. After normal operations, the NE is reset. During this
process, the NE must not be powered off. Ensure that no cold reset or power-down
occurs immediately after the NE restores from the reset and starts to run.
Otherwise, the configuration database may be lost. To prevent loss of the
database, wait until the NE automatically backs up the database, and then perform
the cold reset or power-down operation. This process takes about 30 minutes.
If the simulation package is loaded for downgrade, the Toolkit automatically
deletes all the files in the NE database. Thus, all the original configurations are lost
after downgrade.
5.2.2 Check After the Upgrade
Number Check Item Operation Requirement
1 Checking the NE version after the upgrade is activated
1) Check the detailed version information after the upgrade is activated.
2) Query the version by using the NM system.
NSF1, NSF2 and the current running version should be consistent with the version to be upgraded.
2 Checking alarms after the upgrade is activated
Query the current alarms of the NE by using the NM system.
There should be no new alarm generated after the upgrade.
3 Checking the service after the upgrade is activated
Query the current services of the NE by using the NM system.
The service after the upgrade should be consistent with the service before the upgrade.

I. Checking the NE Version
1 Right-click the NE that has been upgraded in Operation List, and select
Version Compare under Upgrade Version.
2 Expand the SCC board, and then you can view the detailed information about the
running version and the version to be upgraded. After the upgrade is
successfully completed, the versions of the NSF1, NSF2, and Nesoft must be
consistent with the version to be upgraded.
3 Log in to the NE that has been upgraded by using the Web LCT. You can view
the NE version in the NE Explorer, which is 5.54.01.22. Right-click the SCC
board in Slot Layout, and select SCC Version. Then a prompt is displayed to
read the SCC version to be 5.54.01.22. Thus the queried version is consistent
with the version to be upgraded.
