Chapter 3 Experiment Task 1 (Required)

3.1 Engineering Requirements

The engineering requirements are the basis of network planning.

This section describes the networking and service capacity of the OptiX RTN 600

equipment. NE1 to NE4 are microwave transmission NEs. For the slot layout of

NE1 to NE4, see Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 . NE5 is optical network equipment.

Figure 1-3 shows the basic information of the network.

1) The service capacity on the radio link between NE1 and NE2 is 8xE1. This radio

link adopts the 1+0 non-protection configuration. 8xE1 services are required to be

established between NE1 and NE2.

2) The service capacity on the radio link between NE3 and NE4 is STM-1. This

radio link adopts the 1+1 HSB protection. E1 services are required to be

established between NE3 and NE4. The other direction of NE3 is connected to the

fiber. One STM-1 service from NE4 passes through NE3 and then is transparently

transmitted to NE5.

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".


62


Step Operation

2 Set the "ODU-PWR" switch on the IF board to "O".

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.


62


3.3.2 Accessing the Web LCT

2 Start up the laptop computer, and log in to the operating system.

3 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.

Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0

Gateway (default): null

4 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.

5 The IE displays the Login Interface of the Web LCT.

6 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.

7 In NE List, click Add NE. The system displays the Add NE dialog box.

8 In the dialog box, set the NE ID to “3”, and the password to “password”.

9 Click OK. At this time, a new NE is added into the NE List.

10 Double-click the logged NE or click NE Explorer. Then the NE Explorer is

displayed.


62




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.

11 Select the NE in the Object Tree in the NE Explorer. Choose Configuration >

Quick Configuration from the Function Tree.


62


12 Click Next. Then the Quick Configuration dialog box is displayed.

13 Click Next. The Quick Configuration dialog box is displayed.

14 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.


62


15 Select the NE from the Object Tree in the NE Explorer. Choose Configuration

> NE Attribute from the Function Tree.

16 Click Modify NE ID. The system displays the Modify NE ID dialog box.

17 Set the NE ID by referring to Table 1-2 .

18 Click OK.

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.


62


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.

19 Observe the Slot Layout on the NE Explorer. Specify the boards to be added

or deleted depending on the legend and the physical boards.

20 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.

21 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.

22 Select the board from the Object Tree in the NE Explorer. Choose

Configuration > IF 1+1 Protection from the Function Tree.

23 Click Create. The system displays the Create IF 1+1 Protection dialog box.

24 Configure each parameter of the IF 1+1 protection based on the planned IF

1+1 protection attributes.


62


25 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 with IF interface information.

26 Select 7-IF1A from the Object Tree in the NE Explorer. Choose Configuration

> IF Interface from the Function Tree.

27 Select the IF Attributes tab.

28 Configure each parameter of the IF attributes by referring to Table 1-2.

29 Click Apply.

30 Select the ATPC Attributes tab.

31 Configure each parameter of the ATPC attributes.

Note:

During the commissioning, set ATPC Enable Status to Disabled to prevent any

change in the transmit power. Set the ATPC attributes after the commissioning is c

omplete.

32 Click Apply.

62


93 Set Database Backup setting to Auto backup database.


62


94 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.


62



62


95 Click Start to load the NE software.

96 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.


62


97 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.


62


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.
