1-2/END GENERAL

PRECAUTION 2-1
2. PRECAUTION
The maintenance personnel should report his/her arrival and departure from a station
to the relevant station. Following precautions must be carefully observed during
maintenance.
 Warning
1. The –48V DC power is superimposed on the center conductor of the coaxial

cable between the IDU and the ODU. Connecting the test equipment directly
to this terminal may damage it and touching the coaxial cable core may cause
electrical shock.
2. Maintenance personnel must take necessary steps to prevent the

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) that may damage the cards on the IDU or
cause errors. Wear a conductive wrist strap connected to the grounded (G)
jack on the front of the equipment shelf. This will minimize the static build-up
during maintenance.
3. Turn off the ODU PWR switch on the associated MODEM Card before
connecting/disconnecting the I/F cable to prevent the equipment from being
damaged.
4. Once the equipment is powered on, wait at least 5 minutes before turning its
power off. Repeatedly turning the power on and off within a short interval may
cause the equipment damaged.
5. Do not allow an ODU TX Output to be opened or short-circuited while the TX

power is on. Execute the TX Mute Control operation in the Maintenance
Mode, or turn the ODU PWR switch on IDU off before disconnecting a cable
or feeder from the ODU TX Output.
6. Contact NEC before downloading programs onto the WebLCT. Equipment

may not function correctly if the download takes place improperly.
 Caution
1. In a system using the CWDM, do not stare at the laser beam or look at it
directly with optical instruments, or it may hurt your eyes (Class 1M laser
product).
2. Be aware that the top surface of the IDU above MODEM turns very hot in
operation.
3. Before replacing the IDU, turn off the ODU PWR switch and disconnect all
cables.

2-2 PRECAUTION
4. Before performing the maintenance, the Maintenance Mode of IDU should be

set to on by the LCT.
5. In order to prevent the traffic from causing interruption while in the

maintenance, execute the TX/RX SW Manual Switching in the 1+1 system.
6. Detected and reported alarm status will be updated by executing CPU Reset
that initializes the CPU.
7. Information on the maintenance and the control such as Mute, CW, LB, etc. is
released if the power is turned off.
8. If each setup item of NE SETUP or SYSTEM OPERATION is changed during

operation, traffic will be momentarily interrupted.
9. When the TX SW is activated, momentary traffic interruption may occur.
10. After completing maintenance, restore all connections, manual control

settings to normal and confirm that all alarm LEDs are unlit.
11. After equipment start-up, allow the equipment to warm up at least 30 minutes.

PRECAUTION 2-3
 Handling of Connectors
 Straight Type
To tighten the TNC-Male Connector of I/F Cable to the IDU, engage the connector
nut only using fingers while holding the cable by the other hand.

High Speed (3sec) Refreshes measured values every 3 seconds.
NOTES:
1. If a parameter indicates the abnormal value, check the Current Status and the
performance monitor (Current/History PMON/RMON Report), and operate the
loopback test to isolate the alarmed sections from the normal sections.
2. RX LEVEL varies depending on the received RF signal level.

4.3 Loopback Operation

If an interruption occurs to traffic, use the SDH/SONET/PDH analyzers to isolate the
faulty section, and by check the traffic signal using the loopback function. Set up the
test equipment according to the following diagrams for PDH or SDH configuration.
In the facility loopback, a signal is looped back toward the baseband interface
direction. In the terminal loopback, a signal is looped back toward the Main Card
direction. They are performed at the STM-1 (SDH) or E1 (PDH) interfaces. (See
Notes 1, 2)
To execute the loopback control, set the system into the Maintenance mode.
Important:
To operate the Loopback Control, the system must be set into the Maintenance
mode.

Execute the MODEM Loopback control to check the incoming traffic signal inside
MODEM interface (the traffic signal from E1 interfaces to wireless direction).
NOTES:
1. The MOD ALM and TX INPUT ALM will be un-masked as soon as releasing
the IF Loopback operation.
2. While operating the IF Loopback, the associated ODU is disabled.
3. If the IF Loopback is executed to the remotely connected site, the remote

connection will be disconnected during the operation, and the system does
not restore the connection by itself. So, it is necessary to set the IF
Loopback Release Time in advance, which releases the IF Loopback
operation automatically.

4.5 MODEM Maintenance Control (Radio Control)
There are several maintenance control items that can be set during Maintenance
Mode.
The function of each control is as follows; These windows are not enabled if the
system is not in the Maintenance mode.
 ATPC Manual Control

If TX Power Control Mode is selected to ATPC Mode, execute temporally fixing
control to Transmit Power. Select the value range described in ( ) of ATPC Range that
located in the Provisioning Menu (MODEM Function setting -> TX Power Setting)
for Transmit Power. ATPC Manual Control can be selected from either Auto or
Manual. If Transmit Power requires to temporally fixing control, select Manual then
select fixed value (it will be fixed until Auto is selected).
NOTE: ATPC Manual Control is not effective if MTPC Mode is selected.
 TX Mute Control
Despite the equipment configuration setting, forcing the TX Mute Control to ON will
stop the transmit power of the ODU.
If Mute Control is set to OFF, it will cancel the Mute control.
NOTES:
1. If Mute Control is set to off and Mute OFF does not work due to uncontrollable
factors, Mute status will remain on.
2. In case of 1+1 HS configuration, the Mute OFF control does not mute both lines.
Moreover, when forced Mute is controlled in No.1/No.2, Maintenance Mode cannot set
to OFF.
3. When TX Mute is remotely controlled, the setting of the automatic restoration time is
possible. Therefore, TX Mute Release Time should be set.
4. TX Mute Release Time is set together with TX Mute Control by the item that becomes
effective only when TX Mute Control is done from a higher-level device.

4-66 CONTROL ITEMS
 CW Control
CW (no transmission modulation) is controlled.
It is used when the frequency is measured with a frequency counter and when
spurious one is checked.
If you perform the CW control over a pre-made Mute ON, execute CW ON/OFF after
Mute OFF. At this time, when there is a factor that the CW control is not turned ON it
becomes CW control error.
In addition, in case of remote connection and operated Control CW, it may not be
able to recover again. CW Control will restore automatically according to the TX
Mute Release Time parameter.
 TX Modulation Manual Control

The flat rate of the transmission modulation method of the control station in the AMR
mode is temporarily managed.
The modulation method can be set according to the target device regardless of the
AMR Range setting.
Under the 1+0 configuration, each Slot#/Slot# is individually controlled.
This control is done by exchanging request/answer of the control between local/

remote stations as well as LB2.
When the TX Modulation Manual Control setting is returned from Manual to Auto,
the fixed modulation method is returned to QPSK.

5.1.1 Reporting Methods

Equipment condition can be obtained by the WebLCT. The condition is also visibly
reported using indication lamps on the equipment. iPASOLINK VR 10 defines the
following alarm status:
5.1.2 Alarm Status

 CL [Cleared]:
CL indicates that one or more previously reported alarms has/have been cleared. This
state applies to all alarms detected for this managed object with the same alarm type,
probable cause and specific problems (if given). Multiple associated notifications
may be cleared by using the Correlated notifications parameter (defined below).
 ID [Indeterminate]:
ID indicates that the detected condition cannot be determined to classify the severity
level.
 CR [Critical]:
CR indicates for the Critical Alarm that causes a service affecting failure, which
requires an immediate corrective action. If this level of condition is reported, the
managed object could totally go out of service, restoring its capability.
 MJ [Major]:
MJ indicates for the Major Alarm that causes a service affecting failure which
requires an urgent corrective action. If this level of condition is reported, the
capability of the managed object could be severely degraded, restoring its full
capability.
 MN [Minor]:
MN indicates for the Minor Alarm that detects the existence of a non-service affecting
condition, which requires the corrective action in order to prevent a more serious
(such as a service affecting) failure. This condition does not degrade the capacity of
the managed object.
 WR [Warning]:
WR indicates for the detection of a potential or impending service affecting fault,
before any significant effects have been felt. Action should be taken to further
diagnose (if necessary) and correct the problem in order to prevent a more serious
failure, such as a service affecting fault.

5.6 Replacing Procedure for IDU

Following are procedures to dismount/mount IDU. For the technical assistance or
information, contact your project contractor, or an NEC supporting office.
CAUTION:
1. Maintenance personnel must wear a antistatic wrist strap connected to the
grounded (G) jack to prevent the electrostatic discharges that may affect or
damage the Cards, or may cause equipment errors. Wearing the antistatic wrist
strap will minimize the electrostatic that may be built up during the maintenance
operation.
2. Do NOT disconnect/connect the IF Cable while the IDU power is on, or the
equipment may be damaged. Ensure to turn the IDU power off before
attempting to disconnect/connect IF cables.
