Generally, communication equipment is severely polluted after

long-time running because of air pollution, severe environment
conditions in the equipment room, the running of the equipment's
air supply system, the reconstruction and decoration of the
equipment room etc. Dust, oil stain, moisture in the air, salinity,
oxidation and corrosive gas result in composite pollution on the
equipment. The purpose of cleaning the equipment is to reduce
the composite pollution on the equipment caused by the ambient
environment, which can decrease the bit error ratio, fault rate
and the failure rate of boards by improving the heat dissipation
capability of the equipment.
Steps
1. If the condition allows, you can power off the equipment, detach the boards and components from the equipment following
the specified procedure, and then fully clean each part of the
equipment.
2. If it is not allowed to power off the equipment, clean the
power-on equipment using one of the following methods
according to the pollution degree and the structure of the
equipment.
i.
Spray-wash and then wash with water column: This

method is applicable when a lot of dirt accumulated on
the equipment. Spray the cleaner on the equipment. Wait
until the cleaner infiltrates the dirt to insulate the dirt
particles and the floating dust deposits. Then fully rinse
the dirt with a column of water.
ii. Clean from top to bottom: This method is applicable to

clean light-polluted equipment.
iii. Clean from bottom to top: This method is applicable
to clean medium-polluted or heavy-polluted equipment,
which can prevent the accumulation of dirt from top to
bottom.
iv. Collect dirt at the interlayers and the bottom: This method
is applicable during the whole procedure of cleaning
power-on equipment. Insert antistatic papers into every
interlayer between shelves and above the bottom of the
cabinet. Clean the equipment layer by layer. The dirt of

each layer accumulates on corresponding paper. After
cleaning the whole equipment, pull out all the papers.
v. Clean narrow gaps: To clean the gaps (3 mm to 5 mm)
between boards, insert the extension pipe of a special spray
gun or a hand-held spray pressure port to spray-wash the
sides of two boards.
vi. Clean boards without gaps: If there is no gap between
boards in the equipment, insert the extension pipe of a
special spray gun into the space between boards from the
gap between shelves in the cabinet or a proper space on
the rear of the cabinet. Then spray-wash the sides of the
boards in two directions.

Loopback Test
Context
14
The loopback test is a diagnostic procedure in which a signal is

transmitted from a transmit port of an NE and returned to the NE
from a receive port. The returned signal is compared with the

transmitted signal in order to check the transmission channel.
The loopback test can be used to locate the fault point level by level
for separate communication links, and check the working status
of nodes and transmission path. It helps locate the faulty NE or
even the faulty board quickly and accurately. It also facilitates the
commissioning and debugging of equipment.
Loopback is classified into hardware loopback and software loopback. The looped signal can be an optical signal or an electrical
signal.
Analysis of Common Faults

The Receive Level Can Not Reach
The Theoretical Value
When the receive level can not reach the theoretical value, perform
the troubleshooting as follows:
1. Check the polarization of antennas at both sides.
2. Check the connectors on the path "antenna-combiner-ODUfeeder" for water penetration.
3. Calibrate the antennas.
4. Check whether some obstacle exists on the link.
5. Check whether the equipment is faulty.
The Radio Link is Blocked

When the radio link is blocked, perform the troubleshooting as
follows:
1. Check that the frequencies of the ODUs at two sites match with
each other.
2.
Check that the frequency and ID configurations at both sides
are consistent.
3. Check whether the IDU works properly by detecting the rated
DC voltage at the IF interface of the IDU. If no rated DC voltage
is detected, replace the IDU.
4. Check that the feeder and the connector of the feeder are in
good condition.
5. Check whether the installation and polarization of the antenna
and the ODU is correct.
15
6. Check whether the azimuth of the antenna deviates from the

specified azimuth in the design.
Transient Interruption Occurs on the

Link
When transient interruption occurs on the radio link, perform the
troubleshooting as follows:
1. Check whether the equipment works properly.
2. Use a network management software or a level recorder to
check whether the transient interruption is caused by fading.
3. Check whether any interference exists.
4. Adjust and hang the antenna higher.
E1 Services Are Blocked

When E1 services are blocked, perform the troubleshooting as follows:
1. Check whether the connectors of the signal cables are well
made and firmly connected.
2. Check whether the transmit ports and the receive ports at the
equipment side and the DFF side are reversely connected.
3. Check whether the E1 cables are cross-connected. For example, the transmit port 1 is connected to the receive port 1 in
normal case. If the E1 cables are cross-connected, the receive
port 1 may be connected to the transmit port 3 or N, and so
on.
4. Check whether the equipment works properly.
5. Perform a loopback test to locate the fault.
Typical Cases
The Receive Level Can Not Reach
The Theoretical Value
Symptom
16
The radio link and the order wire are normal. But the receive level
can not reach the theoretical value anyway after tuning the antenna repeatedly.
Troubleshooting
The following describes a train of thought about the troubleshooting of this problem.
1. Calibrate the antennas.
2. Check the polarization of antennas at both sides.
3. Check the connectors on the path "antenna-combiner-ODUfeeder" for water penetration.
5. Check whether the equipment is faulty.
Solutions
The following describes how to solve this problem.

1. Check whether the directions of two antennas are calibrated to
their main lobes, as shown in Figure 7. If the directions are
not oriented to the main lobes, adjust the antennas in a large
range to find their main lobes. If the directions are oriented to
the main lobes already, proceed to the next step.
FIGURE 7 ADJUSTING

Solutions
The transmission of services interrupts. The system reports the

alarms of the active MU board and radio link failure alarms.
Check whether the active MU board works properly.
1. Enable the standby MU board as the active one. The service
transmission recovers with alarms disappearing. We can conclude that the original active MU board is faulty.
2. Replace the original active MU board.
3. Switch the MU board to the active one. The fault is removed.
The Poor Contact of IF Cable Causes

a Few Bit Errors
Symptom
A small amount of bit errors occur irregularly on the microwave

link of some hop.
Troubleshooting
1. Check whether some interference exists in the area where the
microwave hop is located. If yes, adjust the hanging height of
the antennas or modify the frequency.
2. Check whether the connectors of the IF cable are loose. If yes,
make new connectors and install them to the IF cable. Then
connect the IF cable again.
