1. Connect each independent NE to form the network in accordance with the design
plan.
2. Test global services to verify the accuracy of service configurations.
3. Test such functions required for global network, such as service telephone and
protection switchover.
4. Test the communication quality for a long time by alarm and performance report.
2.2 Description of System Power Commissioning

The key point of OTN system commissioning is power commissioning. The input and
output powers of such boards as OA and OUT should be strictly controlled. The power is
debugged directly and such performance as OSNR and the error bit of the system are
indirectly affected consequently.
System power commissioning can be divided into local commissioning and remote
commissioning in accordance with different modes. The prerequisite for remote
commissioning is the configuration of the boards that can be debugged and monitored
remotely including VMUS, LAC, WSUA, OA, and OPM. If neither of the above boards is
configured or only some are configured, local commissioning is required.
3 Equipment Inspection
3.1 Inspection for Monitoring Cable Connection

Among Shelves
Purpose
Check the monitoring cable connection among shelves to ensure that the connection is
normal.
Procedure
1. Check data cables or GE optical interface connection among all shelves to ensure
that all connections are as the consistent with the fiber connection drawing.
2. Fasten the loose data lines or fiber pigtail ports.
Note: When a shelf is configured with the SCC board, the data cable cannot be
connected; otherwise, it can cause monitoring problems.
3.2 Setting for Shelf DIP Switch

Purpose
Check the setting of shelf DIP switches to ensure that the setting is correct.
Procedure
1. Check the setting of the master DIP switch to ensure that it is set to 1.
2. Check the setting of the slave DIP switch to ensure that it is set the same with the
shelf No.
References
For the shelves of the OTN equipment, the one installed with SNP is the master shelf
(the DIP switch is set to 1) and the others are slave shelves (expanded shelf, whose DIP
switch is set to any number except 1. ZTE recommends you to set it to an integer in
order ranging from 2 to 27).
The master shelf of the OTN equipment can support the cascade of 15 slave shelves.
Note: The master and slave shelves integrated can support a maximum of 200 boards
totally; if the number of boards exceeds the threshold, some boards cannot be managed.
Therefore, the DIP switch of the shelf can be set to 127 maximally. However, to meet the
requirements of the actual work, each shelf is configured with 10 boards at least. Due to
this, 15 slave shelves can be supported maximally.
Shelves are differentiated by the shelf DIP switches on the backplane. There is an 8-
position or 8-section DIP switch (with the flag as S1) on the backplane which is used to
set the shelf number. The position of the DIP switch on the backplane is shown in Figure
Equipment Inspection-2.
Figure Equipment Inspection-2 DIP Switch Position on the Backplane
Figure Equipment Inspection-3 DIP Switch on the DX41 Shelf Backplane

2. UP indicates that the DIP switch is switched upward, and 0 in binary in the
meantime.
3. DOWN indicates that the DIP switch is switched downward, and 1 in binary in the
meantime.
Before powering on NEs, check whether the default DIP switch of each shelf is correct. If
not, modify it to the correct value manually.
4 Equipment Power-on
4.1 Inspection Before Equipment power-on

Before equipment power-on, check the input voltage and shelf voltage for each shelf and
power equipment providing power supply in the equipment room, to avoid automatic
switch-off of air switch caused by power supply and equipment damage caused by over
limited voltage.
4.1.1 Standard Capacity Inspection for Power Output Terminal in

Equipment Room
Purpose
Check the standard capacity for power output terminal in equipment room, to ensure that
the standard capacity should be matched with the configuration.
Preparations
Equipment inspection is completed, and the inspection result should be normal.
Procedure
Verify that the power line number and air switch current on equipment is the same with
the ones on head cabinet. Verify that the power head cabinet can provide the power
capacity required by the cabinet.
4.1.2 Power Output Voltage Test for Power-Supply Equipment in

Equipment Room
Purpose
Test the power output voltage of power-supply equipment in equipment room, to ensure
that the output voltage is between -40 V and -57 V (-48 V), or between -50 V and -70 V
(-60 V).
Preparations
The standard capacity inspection for the power output terminal in the equipment room is
completed, and the inspection result is normal.
Procedure
1. Test the power output voltage of the power supplier in equipment room.
2. Observe the test result. If the test result is not between -40 V and -57 V (-48 V), or
between -50 V and -70 V (-60 V), record the output voltage and put forward the
modification suggestion.
3. If the test result is not between -40 V and -57 V (-48 V), or between -50 V and -70 V
(-60 V), it is forbidden to power on.
OTN product supports the power supply of DC -48 V and -60 V, without difference for
different hardware.
4.2 Rack Power-on Test and Rack Power-on

Purpose
Check whether the rack can be powered on normally. If so, power on the rack.
Preparations
Complete the power output voltage test of power-supply equipment in equipment room,
and the test result should be normal.
Procedure
1. Before the test of rack power, power off the loop switch for equipment power-
supply, cabinet power switch on equipment, shelf power switch, and fan switch.
2. Use multimeter to verify that there is no short circuit between the positive and
negative of equipment power input terminal, the terminal flag should be correct and
the protection earth is well connected.
3. Turn on the loop switch that provides power-supply for the equipment.
4. Use the multimeter to measure the primary voltage to confirm that positive and
negative polarity is correct and the voltage is between -57 V and -40 V or between
-50 V and -70 V.
5. Use the multimeter to measure the voltage between protection earth terminal and
working earth terminal, and the voltage should be zero.
6. After the above steps, turn on the air switch for power distribution box at the top of
equipment. If the power indicator is green, it indicates that power works normally. If
the green indicator is not on, turn off air switch immediately to check whether power
access is normal and whether the alarm indicator cable is connected correctly.
For the above tests, if there is exception, turn off the power-supply loop switch
immediately to shoot the trouble. If it is normal after test, turn on the power-supply air
switch and the switch power of power distribution box. Power on the rack and continue
to perform power-on test for the rack.
4.3 Shelf Power-on Test and Shelf Power-on

Purpose
Check whether the shelf can be powered on normally. If so, power on the shelf.
Preparations
Complete the power-on test for the shelf and power on the shelf.
Procedure
1. Use the multimeter to measure the output voltage of the power socket for each
backplane on the shelf, and the voltage should be -48 V (-40 V ~ 57 V) / -60 V.
Note that the polarity should be correct.
2. Turn on the power board switch and observe the working status for the power
board. If it works normally, install the fan board first and observe the working status
for the fan. If it works abnormally, power off immediately.
3. Install the shelf fan on the rack and power it on. Then feel the fanning direction with
hand to confirm that it fans from inside to outside. The green indicator and red one
on the panel of fan flashes alternatively.
4. Test the power and fan for each shelf in accordance with the above method.
5. Uninstall all boards except the power board from the shelf to make these boards
floating inserted.
6. If the fan works normally, install the boards one by one on the shelf. The red and
green indicators on each board start to flash. When the configuration is normal and
there is no board alarm, the red indicator is off and the green on is stably on. When
NMS is not configured with boards, the red and green indicators flash alternatively.
When no service signal is accessed or there is a board alarm, the red indicator
flashes (in alarm state). It is normal symptom. If the shelf or board works
abnormally, power off the shelf timely or uninstall the boards.
5 Configuration and Inspection for Site

Data
The purpose of site commissioning is to make preparations for system commissioning.
1. Initialize an NE: Create an NE in the protection mode, clear the NE’s database,
download the database, and auto-discover the board. Refer to Section 7.1 for
details.
2. Test the performance of service boards.
3. Test the insertion loss for OMU\VMUX\WSUA and ODU.
4. Test OA board gain and output saturation power.
5. Check the correction of fiber connection and fiber pigtail quality.
5.1 Check Board Input / Output Optical Power

Purpose
For onsite commissioning of OTN equipment, the main check items are completed by
optical power test. The following contents introduce the optical power test method and
notices.
Check Content and Method
1. Average emission optical power
The connection figure for the test of average emission optical power is shown in the
following figure.
Figure Configuration and Inspection for Site Data-8 Test Connection for Emission
Optical Power
During the test, set the receiving optical wavelength of optical power meter to the
same with the one of the tested optical board. Connect one end of fiber pigtail to
the optical interface of the optical board to be tested, and connect the other end to
the incoming interface of optical power meter. When the optical power is stable,
read the optical power value, which is the emission optical power for this interface.
Different fiber pigtails for test should be used since the optical interface board can
use the optical interface of single module or multiple modules.
2. Average receiving optical power
The connection figure for the test of average receiving optical power is shown in the
following figure.
Figure Configuration and Inspection for Site Data-9 Receiving Optical Power
Connection Test
During the test, set the receiving optical wavelength of optical power meter to the
same with the one of the tested optical board. Connect the line optical signal to the
optical power meter by using the fiber pigtail. When the optical power is stable,
read the optical power value. The receiving optical power for this optical interface is
the value minus fiber pigtail attenuation. Different fiber pigtails for test should be
used since the optical interface board can use the optical interface of single module
or multiple modules.
Note:
Before optical power test, clean the optical interface and ensure that the connection is good.
Different fiber pigtails for test should be used since the optical board can use the optical
interface of single module or multiple modules.
If necessary, the attenuation of the optical connector and test fiber can be considered as a
known value to modify the average emission optical power read by the optical power meter.
If the test accuracy should be promoted, test for several times and take the average value.
Then use the attenuation of optical connector and test fiber to modify the average value.
5.2 Insertion Loss Test for OMU and ODU

Purpose
For such multiplexing/de-multiplexing boards as OMU, ODU, VMUX and SOA, the
insertion loss for the boards should be tested. If the insertion loss beyond the range, it
demands clearance or recovery with flange. It cannot be recovered, replace it in time.
Procedure
1. Insertion loss test for OMU
The main procedure for OMU insertion loss test is as follows:
First, test the single wave optical power accessed. Then test the output single wave
optical power of OUT interface on OMU board.
Perform minus for the two tested number. The minus result is OMU insertion loss
for this band.
Since there are several channels on OMU board, generally, several channels are
selected randomly.
If the difference of insertion loss numbers tested by all channel is no more than 3
dB, the result is qualified.
Figure Configuration and Inspection for Site Data-10 OMU Insertion Loss Test
2. ODU insertion loss test
The test method of ODU insertion loss is fundamentally the same with that of OMU.
However, ODU is used on the receiving end, and the common test method is
shown in the following figure.
Figure Configuration and Inspection for Site Data-11 ODU Insertion Loss Test
Note:
During the test of OMU/ODU insertion loss, pay attention to the interference among
neighboring channels.
5.3 Inspection on Site Optical Fiber Connection

Purpose
Before system commissioning, check the connections for internal and external fiber
pigtail and confirm that the connections are correct.
Procedure
1. Check whether the optical fiber connection is the same with the fiber connection
drawing and whether the connections are correct.
2. Check whether the actual optical fiber connection is the same with the fiber
connection drawing by using the NMS alarms. Check the fiber pigtail connection
and quality by using NMS performance report or optical power meter to test. The
attenuation for internal fiber pigtail should be within 1 dB.
5.4 Main Light Connection
Figure Configuration and Inspection for Site Data-12 Layout for Main Light Connection
In accordance with equipment networking and board position drawing, connect to the
main light optical path for each single site and its neighboring site.
1. Before connecting EONA\OPA to ODF fiber on line end, the incoming interface of
OA should be added optical attenuator in advance, mainly to avoid that the board is
damaged due to too big incoming optical power. The followed power
commissioning is to optimize.
2. Test SEOBA output at site A and connect to the fiber between SEOBA and ODF.
Test the power on the incoming ODF to ensure that the attenuation between
SEOBA output and ODF is within 1 dB, the smaller the better.
3. Test ODF incoming power and ODF outgoing power at Site A to ensure that the
difference for them is within 1 dB. If not, clean or replace the flange of ODF.
4. Test ODF incoming power at Site B to check whether the line attenuation from Site
A to Site B is close to the designed value. If not, replace the fiber core or require
the customer to rectify the optical cable.
5. Complete the line optical fiber connection from Site B to Site A in accordance with
the above four steps.
6 Commissioning of Supervisory
Channels
The monitoring among NEs for Mx20 and ZXONE 8000 can be completed through
optical supervisory channel (OSC) or electrical supervisory channel (ESC).
6.1 OSC Commissioning

Purpose
SOSC (SOSCB) is provided by the four OSCs. Theoretically speaking, it is OK to

connect a pair of optical interfaces on SOSC in upstream NE to a pair of optical
interfaces on SOSC in downstream NE by using the optical fiber. To realize convenient
maintenance, the rules are defined uniformly by the engineering.
OSPF routing protocol is operated on SOSC board. OSC optical interface supports
PPPoE protocol and each optical interface can be set independently. The information for
SNP board is forwarded to the next hop by L3 routing function of SOSC board until it
reaches the SNP board of destination NE. Thus, the monitoring function for NEs is
realized.
IP address for optical interface of SOSC board is distributed automatically in accordance

with SNP IP. Generally, it requires no manual plan and configuration. If the IP address for
SOSC electrical interface is not in the same segment with SNP IP, monitoring is
impossible.
Procedure
1. First, check whether the optical connections for SOSC optical interface and OA
board are correct.
2. Check the sending and receiving optical power for SOSC optical interface (the
optical interface using SFP module). The performance index for optical interface is
shown in Table Commissioning of Supervisory Channels-3. Select proper SPF
module type in accordance with fiber attenuation value of the line for neighboring
sites. If the attenuation value is more than the maximum capability of SFP3, it
requires other monitoring mode.
3. The wavelength for OSC is 1510 nm, about 4 dB (including the insertion loss of OA
supervisory channel) less than the one for service channel 1550 nm.
Table Commissioning of Supervisory Channels-3 Performance Index for SOSC SFP

Module
Sending Optical Power Receiving Optical Power

Optical Interface Type
(dBm) (dBm)
SFP1 (80 km) -3 ~ +2 -8 ~ -37
SFP2 (120 km) +2 ~ +7 -8 ~ -37
SFP3 (140 km) +3 ~ +10 -8 ~ 43
4. After completing the above two steps, if monitoring cannot be realized, check
whether IP configuration for optical and electrical interfaces of SNP IP and SOSC
for neighboring sites are correct to shoot the hardware trouble.
Note:
If the line attenuation is more than 42 dBm, SFP (140 km) cannot satisfy the monitoring
requirement. Then other monitoring plans should be considered. For example, use electrical
supervisory channel or independent service channel to transfer supervisory signal or the
third-party network.
SNP IP and SOSC IP of global network requires uniform plan. If the addresses are conflicted,
it can lead to monitoring fault.
6.2 ESC Commissioning

Two Modes of ESC
1. Actually, ESC uses the overhead of service board to transfer the supervisory
information. Once the service board can transfer normally, the physical path of
supervisory information can be reached.
2. To use service board to bearer supervisory information, the hardware OTUC or

SOTU2.5 should be added to support the service board accessed with continuous
rate.
1. Cross service boards such as LO2 also support the use of ESC, which needs the
cooperation of the SOSCB board though. Refer to the OTN Product Monitoring
Function Configuration Guide.
Procedure
Commissioning procedure of GCC mode:
1. First, verify that SOSC and the service board using to transfer electrical supervisory
information are installed to the correct slots.
2. Then check GCC configuration for the service board. Service board type, GCC
number and type used by the two NEs must be the same.
Use the service board to bear supervisory information:
1. Verify that OTUC and SOTU2.5G channel services have no error bit.
2. SOSC optical supervisory signal is accessed to OAC end of OTUC and SOTU2.5G
boards, and the control input power is at proper point.
References
ESC of transmission shelf of ZXONE 8000 is the same with that of M820/920
(transmission shelf includes DX4 and DX41). The following table can be referenced.

NMS menu.
7 NMS Data Configuration
7.1 NE Initialization
At the end of 2013, the M2SNP is provided to replace the M1SNP. The M2SNP allows
the board to be transitioned from a single kernel to multiple kernels, the memory is
increased from 256 M to 2G, and the management capability is greatly improved. Like
the NCP of the M721, the M2SNP starts management processes from the LINUX kernel,
and then starts each process (including SNP_APP, SNP-Agent, SNP_FTP, SNP_APS,
and SNP_WASON).
The M1SNP can manage 400 equivalent boards while the M2SNP can manage 600
boards.
The M1SNP is different from the M2SNP in two aspects: front panel (see below) and
board program (M1SNP: 4.xx, M2SNP: 6.xx).

1. Check the NE IP address of factory configuration.
i. When the transmission shelf DX4 (NX4) is used as the master shelf:
First, merge VLANs. There is a TST flag on SEI board and the hole next to the
flag is the switch to merge/divide VLANs. Press it with a pen for about 5
seconds. Then check SPWA/B indicator status (NOM indicator flashes quickly)
or ping SNP board IP (192.168.1.4). Then set NMS PC IP to 192.168.1.x (x >
200) to make PC IP to be the same with SNP IP in intranet (192.168.1.0).
If the power board is not configured on NMS (SNP board does not has its
data), NOM indicator does not flash quickly. Then the identification method is
to set IP on PC and display the DOS window to ping 192.168.1.4. If the
address can be pinged through, it indicates that VLANs has been merged.
ii. When the transmission shelf DX41 (NX41) is used as the master shelf:
There is a TST flag on EIC interface board and the hole close is the switch to
merge/divide VLANs. Press it with a pen for about 5 seconds. Then check EIC
interface board indicator status (NOM indicator flashes quickly) or ping SNP
board IP (192.168.1.4). Then set NMS PC IP to 192.168.1.x (x > 200) to make
PC IP to be the same with SNP IP in intranet (192.168.1.0).
iii. The IP address of the M1SNP can be obtained as follows:
Enter DOS window, use the command “telnet 192.168.1.4 9023” to log onto NE.
The username and password are admin/admin. Then use the command enterksh to
enter KSH MML. Enter the command vmc to check that the NE IP is 192.90.40.1.
 Knowledge:
M1SNP has two cores or called kernels: psh and ksh. ZTE+> is displayed when the psh core
is running, and KSH> is displayed when the ksh core is running. PSH core and KSH core can
be switched over by enterpsh and enterksh. Then the MML window displays CPU occupancy
constantly. If CPU occupancy is not cared, press Enter and enter the command directly.
Figure NMS Data Configuration-15 Querying the IP Address of the M1SNP
The IP address of the M2SNP can be obtained as follows:
 Telnet port 23 of the M2SNP (for example, telnet 192.168.1.4).
 Run the ifconfig or ifconfig eth0:1 command (eth0:1 represents the IP address of
the M2SNP).
Where,
 eth0 represents the intranet IP address of the agent of the current master
board.
 eth0:0 represents the intranet IP address of the WASON of the current master
board.
 eth0:0 represents the IP address of the NE, which is the internet IP address of
the agent.
 eth0:2 represents the internet IP address of the WASON.
Or, telnet port 9023 of the M2SNP, enter the user name (zte) and password (zte), and
run the ifconfig command.
Figure NMS Data Configuration-16 Querying the IP Address of the M2SNP
iv. Add the IP 192.90.40.200 on PC and then ping 192.90.40.1. Then it should be
pinged through. Start the NMS to create an NE. After the NE is monitored,
modify the IP for electrical interface 3 of SOSC and modify the NE IP to the
planned one. Then isolate VLANs (pressing TST for 5 seconds until NOM
indicator flashes slowly or 192.168.1.4 cannot be pinged through).

11. Create and initialize NE in accordance with the above figures. Then configure the
NE.
Note:
1. Shelf type must be the same with that of physical shelf.
2. Shelf DIP switch must be continuous; otherwise, NMS should be configured with empty
shelf, which makes it convenient to check NE shelf.
3. During the NE initialization process, the database of the NE must be cleared so that the
previously configured data (including the protection group of wason) can be deleted.
4. In remote commissioning, the IP address of the NE is obtained through the telnet

command or the quick commissioning function instead of VLAN combination. Refer to
Chapter 8 for more details.
7.2 Laser Status

1. Confirm that service board laser is enabled on NMS and output the normal alarms
(strong light, weak light).
When there is no light output on client end, check whether APSD (AOSD) function
of service board can be enabled. It is disabled by default.
2. Enable the laser of NMS OA board (except HOA board).
When there is no input light, there is also no output light. Then check whether OA
board is set to APSD (AOSD). OA board is set to ARP by default.
3. When the IN interface DRA (including HOA) board is not connected to line fiber,
laser must be disabled. The laser can be enabled after line fiber is connected.
7.3 Wavelength Tuning

The board supporting wavelength tuning is distributed a frequency value in accordance
with service.
The boards on relevant line end of ZXMP M820 V2.51 and ZXONE 8300&8500&8700
(such as LQ2, and LO2) adopts XFP module, and the frequency points are saved on
XFP module. When such boards are used for the first time or XFP module is replaced,
the frequency must be checked and set to the one required by engineering (the default
frequency point for XFP is 192.10GHZ). Incorrect frequency point can affect the accurate
creation of NMS fiber connection and accurate search of services on NMS. Additionally,
system power control is affected.
Operation path: Right-click the NE and choose Open Rack Chart from the shortcut
menu. Right-click the board in the associated slot and choose NE Manager from the
shortcut menu. In the displayed NE Manager window, choose Board Operation > WDM
Wave Length Management > Wavelength Adjustment and Tuning from the left
navigation tree. Click the Tune Wavelength tab and select the frequency point to be set
in the Real Frequency column. Then click Apply.
Figure NMS Data Configuration-34 Wavelength Tuning Setting Window
Note:
LQ2 of ZXMP M820 V2.51 and LO2/LQ2 of ZXONE 8000 adopts XFP pluggable optical
module (supporting 50 GHz interval). The wavelength information is saved on XFP optical
module. During first commissioning or optical module replacement, query the actual
frequency of the board in the Tune Wavelength tab. If the actual frequency meets the
requirement of engineering, click Apply directly. If the actual frequency does not meet the
requirement of engineering, set the correct frequency and click Apply to save the wavelength
information to NMS database and delivery board.

Note:
1. The board can display port performance and alarm only when it is set with service
mapping. FEC code mode can only be configured on the relevant ODUk adjusting port in the
cross configuration window.
2. Check Enable for the port to be used.
3. Before cross configuration, perform service mapping configuration in accordance with

engineering drawing or wavelength service plan.
4. For other boards, refer to the board maintenance manual in TSM website.
7.5 FEC Setting

1. 10G/40G service board provides three FEC mode: FEC decoding mode, AFEC
decoding mode, and OTN format without FEC mode. ITU-T has defined the general
FEC decoding mode and the FEC mode of different suppliers and different boards
can be interconnected. However, AFEC decoding mode does not have a uniform
standard; therefore, the mode of different suppliers cannot be interconnected. For
ZTE equipment, pay attention to FEC mode during service configuration to ensure
that FEC modes on both ends are the same. AFEC mode is recommended.
2. 100 G board LS adopts PM-QPSK coding and FEC adopts Software

Determination FEC (SD-FEC), which is set to SD-FEC1 on NMS.
Note:
1. The terminal board and trunk board on each optical channel use the same type of FEC.
2. NMS should set service type first and then set FEC.
3. It is disallowed that service type and FEC mode for the service board on NMS and
agent are empty.
The configuration path is Board Operation > WDM Service Configuration > FEC Mode.
Then in the FEC Mode tab displayed, select AFEC Decode and Code Mode in the FEC
Mode column.

Figure NMS Data Configuration-51 LD2B FEC Mode Configuration 2
7.6 Configuration of Service Mapping Mode

When the access service for SOTU10G and MX2 is 10GE, Service Mapping Mode
Configuration should be set to OTN synchronized mapping (the default setting for the
board is OTN synchronized mapping).
OTN synchronized mapping (Over-Clock mode): The line interface rate is 11.1 Gbps and
frame format is OTU2. Its features are as follows: 10GE-LAN electrical layer signal is
transited transparently with high compatibility, but the line signal rate is not standard,
which is hard to test.
Rate compatibility OTU2 (transparent remission mode): The line interface rate is 10.7
Gbps and the frame format is OTU2. First, 10GE-LAN decodes 66b code to MAC, maps
it to GFP-F, and asynchronies to OPU2 frame (occupying some overheads of OPU2,
which makes some OPU2 not standard). After transmission, some IGP control code is
lost. Such control code as Preamble and SFD can be transmitted transparently.
Stream control OTU2: The line interface rate is 10.7 Gbps and the frame format is
OTU2. First, 10GE-LAN decodes 66b code to MAC layer, maps it to GFP-F, and then
maps it to the standard OPU2 frame asynchronously to ensure that MAC frame is
transmitted transparently. All of control codes are discarded after they are mapped to
OTU2, but all of them are added again after 10GE-LAN is demapped from OTU2
mapping. Some bandwidth of OPU2 load is insufficient; therefore, MAC frame rate
should be reduced through stream control during mapping.
Stream control STM-64+OTU2: The line interface rate is 10.7 Gbps and the frame format
is OTU2. First, 10GE-LAN decodes 66b code to MAC layer, maps it to GFP-F, and then
to VC-4-64c and STM-64, and the maps it to the standard OPU2 frame asynchronously
to ensure that MAC frame is transmitted transparently. All of control codes are discarded
after they are mapped to OTU2, but all of them are added again after 10GE-LAN is
demapped from OTU2 mapping. Stream control is required to reduce MAC frame rate.

7.8 APR/APSD (AOSD)
7.8.1 OA Boards
During commissioning, AOSD/APR mode for OA boards is APR, to avoid that the laser is
turned on and off frequently by the board during power commissioning.
The configuration path is Board Operation > APR-AOSD Management > Board APC
Configuration.
Figure NMS Data Configuration-57 APR-AOSD Function Configuration of OA Boards
7.8.2 Service Board AOSD
When the redundancy channel 1+1 OP protection is formed by service boards, AOSD
function of service board should be configured. After AOSD function is enabled, and the
board finds that the line or tributary is faulty, it can disable the laser of optical module on
client end.
The power commissioning configuration is: Null, which is convenient for power
commissioning.
The configuration path is Board Operation > APR-AOSD Management > Board APC
Configuration.
Figure NMS Data Configuration-58 APR-AOSD Configuration for Service Boards
Note:
For the crossed tributary board and such convergence board as MX2, when AOSD is enabled
on client port, the protection mode for output port on client end should be set to All;
otherwise, AOSD function cannot be valid.
7.8.3 Protection Mode Configuration
Protection mode is used to control whether CTI (APS) message is reported by traffic
alarm. It adopts service boards for electrical layer protection and WASON protection to
trigger switchover.
Additionally, protection mode is also used for service invalidity mode of board AOSD
function. If the protection mode is set to No Alarm Detection, although there are alarms
on line or tributary end, AOSD does not disable the client.
Protection Mode Config includes four items: Protection Mode, Protection Layer,
Holdoff Time and Report Mode. The board software considers None for Protection
Mode by default. When the protection is involved, Protection Mode should be set to All,
Protection Layer to Auto, Holdoff Time to 0, and Report Mode to SF+SD+BEI+BDI.

9 Commissioning of Optical Power

For the optical power commissioning for each OTN equipment site, it is mainly released
by increasing/decreasing attenuators. Optical power commissioning is divided into four
parts:
1. Sending end: commissioning of channel power flatness (controlling channel
incoming light before optical multiplexer. The control point is .
2. Sending end: OBA output power control of optical amplifier. The control point is
3. Receiving end: the output optical power of optical amplifier. The control points are
4. Input optical power control on OCH end for service board and the control point is
Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-75 Internal Power Control for OTM Site
 Knowledge:
OSA on sending end can be connected to SEOBA MON interface or OUT interface. MON
supports online monitoring. The attenuation difference between MON interface and OUT
interface is 23 dB (The difference for EONA\SEOBA\DRA MON interface is 23 dB).
OSA on receiving end can be connected to EONA/SEOPA/SDMR IN interface or MON

interface. The attenuation difference between MON interface and IN interface is 16 dB (The
difference for OCI\OMU\ODU\OPA MON interface is 16 dB).
When OPM/EOPM is used to replace OSA for monitoring, set the insertion loss value on
NMS in accordance with the connected OA board type.
9.1 Power Commissioning Target
9.1.1 Flatness Commissioning Target

For DWDM system, different wavelength channels are transferred in the same optical
fiber. Due to the channel difference of used optical components, SRS effect, amplifier
gain flatness, the channel flatness becomes worse. To ensure the consistence for each
channel performance, there are strict requirements for the power flatness for each
channel. In DWDM system, there are strict requirements for the channel flatness for
MPI_S and MPI_R.
The flatness requirement for 80 X 10G specified in GB YD/T1274-2003 is shown in Table

Commissioning of Optical Power-11.
Table Commissioning of Optical Power-11 Power Flatness Requirement for 10G System
Main path
Detection Point Nx22dB 80 wave Nx30 dB 80 wave

MPI-S 4 3
MPI-R 6 5
N is the cascade number for optical amplification segment. 22 dB and 30 dB indicate the
system with the signal span attenuation is 22 dB and 30 dB.
In actual engineering, a pure Nx22dB or Nx30 dB system cannot be found. During

commissioning, when there are several OTS whose distance is more than 120 km (or
close to), try to close to the system indicators of Nx30dB.
The flatness requirement for 80 X 40G specified in GB YD/T1991-2009 is shown in Table

Commissioning of Optical Power-12.

MPI-S 6
MPI-R 6
During engineering commissioning, the requirement for power flatness of sending end
and receiving end, and the requirement for SNR flatness of receiving end are higher
than the ones mentioned above (there is no SNR flatness requirement in GB). The
commissioning procedure is as follows:
1. Adjust signal flatness of sending end: power flatness ≤ 2 dB, if the sending end is
configured with VMUX, it is better to adjust power flatness to about 1 dB. SNR
flatness ≤ 2 dB (for channels of the same source).
2. Adjust signal flatness of receiving end: When the power flatness meets the
requirement, observe OSNR flatness of channels of the same route in the
meantime. If OSNR is higher than the system requirement on the whole, OSNR
standard can be neglected. If OSNR is very close to the system requirement, the
sending end power must be adjusted to ensure that OSNR on receiving end meets
the requirement.
During system commissioning, the above three flatness requirements should be taken
into consideration. Take the receiving end as the baseline, the power flatness of sending
end and SNR flatness can be scarified properly.
9.1.2 Commissioning Target of Main Light Power
9.1.2.1 Commissioning for G.655\G.652 System Main Light Power
Note that the calculation of single wave incoming fiber power described in this section
can be applied for 10G and 40G systems of G.655\G.652. For 100G system, refer to the
section commissioning of 100G system.
Before system commissioning, three items must be understood: N system design

capacity, M wavelength quantity to be loaded, fiber type used by system. Calculation
formula for OA single channel output power and total output power:
OA single channel output (single channel incoming fiber power): Ps = Pmax-

10log(N)dBm
OA total output power: Pout=Ps+10log(M)dBm
The maximum incoming fiber power of single channel is also relevant to fiber type. Quick

9.1.2.2 Commissioning of G.653 System Main Light Power (10G/40G)
G.653 fiber has little dispersion and obvious non-linear effect; therefore, the incoming
fiber optical power must be reduced. For the control of single-channel power, refer to
Table Commissioning of Optical Power-16.
Total optical power of line incoming fiber = power of single channel incoming fiber +
10log (M), M: system wavelength loaded actually

There are two purposes to adjust the input/output power of amplifier on sending end:
1. The first purpose is to ensure that when the system is fully configured, OBA output
power is less than the saturation output power, to ensure the system performance
and board working life and reserve space for capacity expansion.
2. The second purpose is to ensure each channel has high incoming fiber power, to
promote channel OSNR.
Example
Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-76 Example of Main Light Power

Commissioning
Circumstance description: When system is N=40 wave, loaded service M=10, sending
end is SEOBA2220, the attenuation of line fiber G.652\60km\ is 20 dB, and the receiving
end is configured with VOA (LACT board) EONA2520.
Order to debug main light:
1. For SEOBA2220, the main light power should be controlled to 14 dBm and the
single channel power to 4 dBm.
2. The attenuation control for EONA2520 DCM1-DCM2 is 11 dB (attenuator + DCM

insertion loss). Test DCM1 output first. During the test of incoming DCM2 power,
the difference between DCM1 and DCM2 should be 11 dB; otherwise, the gain
flatness for EONA board can be affected, and channel flatness for MPI_S and
MPI_R are affected, and SNR can be affected.
3. Ensure that the control target for main output power of EONA2520 is 14 dB, and
that for single channel is 4 dB. During commissioning, adjustment range for line
VOA and EONA board gain should be considered. Generally, EONA gain should be
adjusted first, and then VOA is followed. The adjustable range for EONA board gain
is [-5, 5] dB. In this case, when EONA2520 is not performed with gain adjustment,
the main light output target should be controlled to 14 dB, and 5 dB (SEOBAout –
Line attenuation – VOA attenuation + EONA gain = EONAout) should be added for
attenuator on the line. Because the LAC board has a fixed insertion loss of 1.5–2
dB, gain for EONA2520 should be adjusted to -3.
Note: :
If the optical fiber has an attenuation value tested to be much greater than the design value
(running within 2 – 3 dB), find out why and solve the problem of high attenuation of the
optical fiber. The attenuation value should be kept within the design value especially for
super long transmission distance.

(SOGMDB) at OTM Site
Procedure
The power flatness requirement and OA board output power control requirement should
be met in the meantime for the commissioning of sending end. The commissioning for
MPI_S is as follows:
1. Connect to MON interface of OMU\VMUX board by using OSA and check the
power for each channel output by OMU\VMUX.
2. In accordance with output power range for each service board, estimate the control
value for incoming power of OMU each channel. Generally, it is as follows:
i. It is controlled to -6 dBm when it is 2.5G/10G/100G mixed system without 40G

DQPSK code.
ii. It is controlled to -8 dBm when it is the system with 40G DQPSK.
3. Add attenuator for each channel of OMU in advance to make the power for point
close to the control value. Monitor the channel flatness through OSA, and
adjust the attenuator for each channel until the flatness requirement is met in
accordance with OSA monitoring result.
Preset the attenuator of 5 dB for each channel of VMUX board. Monitor the channel
flatness through OSA, and adjust the VOA attenuation for each channel until the
flatness requirement is met in accordance with OSA monitoring result.
4. At present, PIC system is point-to-point configured, so no attenuator should be
added prior to each channel of SOGMDB by default, leaving power at point in

range of 0~-6dB. OSA supervises the channel flatness, whose results will be used
to adjust the attenuators for channels until they meet the flatness of 6dB.
Note:
During commissioning:
1. Adjust signal flatness of sending end: It is required that the signal power flatness of
sending end is ≤ 2 dB. If the sending end is configured with VMUX, it is better to adjust
power flatness to about 1 dB.
2. The signal power flatness of receiving end is ≤ 3 dB, the SNR flatness should keep ≤ 2
dB.
3. After system commissioning, the power flatness of receiving end and SNR flatness
should be considered to modify the flatness of sending end.
4. If there is a large insertion loss difference between the OMU C and OMU C+, for
example, the difference is greater than 2 dB for the whole wave channel, two attenuators are
required: one on the OUT port of OMU or the T1 port of OCI, and the other on the T2 port of
OCI.
5. Connect to SEOBA OUT interface or MON interface of MPI-S point (the power
difference for OUT interface and MON interface is 23 dB) by using OSA.
6. After checking that there is no hardware fault for internal fiber connection and
flange for OMU-SEOBA, start to debug the output power for SEOBA.The control
value of output power for point should meet the target of main light power
commissioning. Attenuator can be added on SEOBA IN interface to realize the
target. Note: If sufficient space is reserved during system design, attenuator can be
added before SEOBA IN. If the commissioning target value cannot be reached until
attenuator is added, it indicates that SEOBA gain is too small, which cannot
compensate the internal attenuation of the node and it should be replaced with
SEOBA with bigger gain.
The incoming fiber of OBA (EONA) should meet the following three conditions:
i. [single wave incoming fiber power + 10*logM-Gmax, single wave incoming fiber
power + 10*logM-Gmin], single wave incoming fiber power indicates average
channel incoming fiber power, M indicates wavelength number, and G max and
Gmin means the maximum and minimum gains for EOBA. The former range is
the maximum one:
ii. When condition i is satisfied, reserve some space for OA gain adjustment.
iii. When conditions i and ii are satisfied, try to promote the incoming light for
EOBA (EONA).
For example, For OTM sending end OBA2220, it is recommended that gain
control is 20 to promote OA input power.
For example, as to OTM sending end OBA2220, it is recommended that gain

Note:
1. If there is a large insertion loss difference between the OMU C and OMU C+, for
example, the difference is greater than 2 dB for the whole wave channel, two attenuators are
required: one on the OUT port of OMU or the T1 port of OCI, and the other on the T2 port of
OCI.
2. When there are few waves (<= 3), the power of monitoring channel has better contribution
to the main light power. Use the optical power meter to test in Out interface and it is found
that the power value includes monitoring light. (For example, the emission power of SOSC
140 km can reach 10 dB maximally. For 80-wave system, the single wave power should be
controlled to 1 dB (for 40-wave system, it is controlled to 4 dBm/ch). The power of
monitoring channel is far higher than service signal, and monitoring channel power is the
same with 6-7-wave service channel.) During commissioning, note that the monitoring signal
influence should be neglected.
3. When there are few waves (<= 3), the noise light is included in the output light of OA and
the power shown in the NMS also contains that of both signal and noise. In this case, the
contribution of noise to the main light is not small. If now the value calculated with the
formula of the previously described OA output is still used, the actual single path input
power value is below +1dBm (for 80-wave system). To solve this problem, increase the gain
value of OA by 2 – 3 dBm to make the output light power of OA higher by 2 – 3 dBm than
the theoretical value.
7. When adjusting SEOBA main light power, observe OSA result to check whether the
second slight adjustment for channel power is required.

9.2.2 Input Power Control for the Receiving End Optical Amplifier
Receiving end includes the ones of OLA/OADM/OTM sites, and board mainly includes
EONA.
1. Adjust the gains for OA (EONA) of each level and attenuation of LAC/VOA to make
OA reach the theoretical gain.
First, adjust EONA gain and adjust VOA/LAC then. The adjustable range for EONA
board gain is [-5, 5] dB. Generally, [-3, +2] dB is recommended for commissioning.
Adjust OA gain and LAC/VOA attenuation level by level. The commissioning mode
is different due to the quantity difference of wavelength in the system.
i. When there are many system waves (more than 20): OA output optical power
= single wave incoming fiber optical power + 10logM (M indicates the
wavelength number in the system). For example, the single wave incoming
fiber power is 1 dBm and there are 32 waves in the system. Then adjust OA
light to 1 + 10log32 = 16 dBm. Note that the value of M in the system is not
constant.
ii. When there are a few system waves (less than 20): The commissioning
method in this case is different from the one of many waves. On this condition,
the first OBA of the system still observes the commissioning method of OA
output optical power = single wave incoming fiber optical power + 10logM.
Generally, for following OAs, use OA gain to compensate the span loss to
adjust OA gain. In other words, span loss value is OA gain. The reason is that
with the commissioning method of OA output optical power = single wave
incoming fiber optical power + 10logM, the noise of system following optical
path is stimulated. Although the outgoing light of OA is the same with former
one, due to the increasing noise power, the single wave incoming fiber power
of actual signal cannot meet the configuration requirement and system OSNR
also cannot meet the system configuration requirement. To ensure OSNR
after transmission and meet the design requirement, this commissioning
method is adopted. When there are OAs with different maximum output
power, use OA gain to compensate the span loss to adjust OA gain. OA gain =
(OA maximum output power of this level – OA maximum output power of
former level) + span loss.

\OLA\EOBA\EOPA\EOLA
Note:
For long-distance transmission, when SNR is close to the maximum value, adjust EONA
gain to the minimum to avoid adding attenuator (or adjustable VOA) in the line to promote
SNR.
During commissioning, pay attention to use OA board gain. During commissioning, try to
reduce gain to promote OA but should boost the input power of OA. Thus, the system OSNR
can be promoted, especially in the process of long-distance transmission.
When there are few waves (<= 2), the power of monitoring channel has better contribution to
the main light power. Use the optical power meter to test in OUT interface and it is found
that the power value includes monitoring light. (For example, the emission power of SOSC
140 km can reach 10 dB maximally. For 80-wave system, the single wave power should be
controlled to 1 dB (for 40-wave system, it is controlled to 4 dBm/ch). The power of
monitoring channel is far higher than service signal, and monitoring channel power is the
same with 6-7-wave service channel.) During commissioning, note that the monitoring signal
influence should be neglected. On NMS, it is queried that OA output light does not include
monitoring light.
When there are few waves (<= 3), the noise light is included in the output light of OA and
the power shown in the NMS also contains that of both signal and noise. In this case, the
contribution of noise to the main light is not small. If now the value calculated with the
formula of the previously described OA output is still used, the actual single path input
power value is below +1dBm (for 80-wave system). To solve this problem, increase the gain
value of OA by 2 – 3 dBm to make the output light power of OA higher by 2 – 3 dBm than
the theoretical value.
When the input light power is quite low (in the case of low input signal power), the
EONA3320 board will make automatic compensation for the small signal gain. Now the
output light power of EONA is shown to be greater than the value calculated for the board
gain. The noise contributes much to the output light power of EONA. This is especially
obvious when there are few waves in the system and the cross-section attenuation is big.
2. Adjust gain slope for EONA of all levels and adjust the single channel power for
such boards that possibly exist in the system as WSU/DEG (ODU + VMUX). The
following two points should be noted when adjusting OA gain slope.
i. Do not make single OA gain slope too big (the default value is -1), such as -4
or +1.
ii. The flatness for OSNR and power on receiving end should be considered
together.
3. Observe the flatness of receiving power on receiving end MPI_R. If the receiving
power flatness of remote MPI_R cannot meet the commissioning requirement, the
gain slope of OA and receiving end flatness at amplification site of middle line can
be adjusted slightly. Here, the flatness requirement of receiving SNR should be
noted. During engineering, SNR and power flatness are contradicted but unified.
Power flatness can be scarified to get SNR flatness.
The following contents introduce the other two cases of the receiving end.
1. The receiving end is configured with two-stage amplification.
Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-80 The Receiving End is Configured with Two-
Stage Amplifier
Two-stage amplification is configured for the receiving end, mainly because the one-
stage amplifier cannot compensate the line insertion loss and DCM insertion loss. During
commissioning, the first stage of OPA mainly light is mainly performed in accordance
with the control standard of main light power output. Generally, when the first-stage OAs
cannot meet the standard output, the second-stage OA is performed in accordance with
main light power output. If attenuators should be added, they must be located before
DCM, as shown in Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-80.
2. The receiving end is configured with DRA.
Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-81 The Receiving End is Configured with DRA
When the receiving end is configured with DRA, DRA gain is set to 12 dB (the default
value) on NMS. DRA switch gain can reach 10 ~ 12 dB (relevant to fiber quality) in
G.652\G.655. During commissioning, DRA requires paying attention to line fiber quality.
There should not have high-reflective events on the line; otherwise, DRA laser is closed
automatically and cannot be opened.
Commissioning procedure:
1. The attenuation control for DCM1-DCM2 of EONA board is 11 dB. For EONA OUT
output power control, refer to Section 9.1.2.
2. Test DRA output power and OUT power of EONA IN interface that is not added the
attenuator. Determine the attenuation between DRA and EONA in accordance with
the two values. In the meantime, use EONA gain to adjust.
i. When the attenuation >= 3: EONA gain should reduce 3 and add an
attenuator.
ii. When the attenuation < 3: Use EONA gain to adjust.
9.2.3 OCH Input Power Control of the Service Board

Before single wave optical signal enters service board, the optical power should be
adjusted to the best receiving range of OCH input interface. In other words, the optical
power should be between the flexibility point and the overloading point of receiving port.
It is best to be the middle of the two thresholds, varying [3, -3] dB taking the middle value
as account. It mainly considers the channel power difference and the influence to each
channel by the system total power change.

Note:
1. Generally, OCH receiving end of OUT is not needed to add attenuator, such as PIN pipe
of 10G, 40G and 100G boards. The reason is that the receiving end of 80-wave system
during design is as follows: EONA (single channel output + 1 dBm)—OCI (3 dB of insertion
loss)—ODU (5 dB of insertion loss)—OTU board. In this way, the optical power of service
board OCH (line side) is -7 dBm. Generally, it is the middle value of the receiving range.
2. In the system 80X10G, if the line side (LS) module of service board adopts APD pipe,
such as tunable board, OCH receiving port of service board should add an attenuator of 7 dB.
3. In the system 40X10G, when the receiving end is configured to be EONA board, an
attenuator of 3 dB can be added in the OUT interface or ODU of EONA.
9.2.4 Client Input Power Control of the Service Board
During service interconnection, the input power control for client equipment and OTN
client board is as follows: The optical power should be between the flexibility point and
the overloading point of receiving port. It is best to be the middle of the two thresholds,
varying [3, -3] dB taking the middle value as account. It mainly considers the channel
power difference and the influence to each channel by the system total power change.
The power control range of OAC end for each board is shown in the following table.

9.3 System Commissioning Inspection

After system power commissioning, inspect the system power and the margin.
1. Check system power: Check whether input/output power, multiplexing/de-

multiplexing power, service board receiving/sending power of OA of all levels are
normal, and whether the span loss and insertion loss between DCM1 and DCM 2 of
EONA is 11 dB.
2. System margin inspection: Reduce 2 dB of the receiving OSNR by reducing the

main light power point of sending end to test OSNR capacity of the system.
3. System non-linear effect inspection: Add 3 dB of the sending power to observe

system performance (through BER change before and after error correction, OSNR
capacity), to check the system non-linear effect.
9.4 OADM Site Power Commissioning

Target
OMU of OADM site has two kinds of wave: straight-through and local add. The key point
is to make the straight-through wave and local add wave keep the same power before
OMU/OAD is input. The power is determined by the best power point reached by the
straight-through wave and local add wave.
The commissioning requirement for EONA and SEOBA is the same with OTM site.
Before the straight-through wave and add wave are output in SEOBA, the channel
power should meet the requirement of MPI_S, and the single channel power meets the
system requirement.
The section mainly introduces the commissioning key points, which may be different
from the actual NE fiber connection. However, the commissioning thought is the same.

Fiber Connection Figure
Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-82 Power Control of OADM Module 1
Illustration: Module 1 adopts the multiplexing board (OM/VMUX) and demultiplexing

board ODU of independent function to form the OADM site. For the input power control
for each channel of OMU, the straight-through channel and local add channel must be
the same.
Confirming the input power of OMU channel:
1. The output power of EONA2520 single channel can be controlled to 4 dBm/CH (40-
wave system).
2. ODu has 6 dB of fixed insertion loss; therefore, the output power of ODU each
channel is about -2 dBm/CH.
3. Generally, the output power range of local add OTU is [0, -5] dBm.
4. In accordance with the straight-through power and local add power got from step 2
and step 3, the input power target for OMU each channel can be -6 dBm.
Procedure
Power commissioning of single direction:
1. The output power of EONA2520 single channel is controlled to 4 dBm/CH (40-wave

system). The attenuation between DCM1 and DCM2 of EONA should be controlled
to 11 dB. If DCM attenuation does not reach 11 dB, use the fixed attenuator to
compensate.
2. Connect (OPM board) to OMU OUT interface by using OSA and check the channel
flatness of OMU output.
3. For straight-through wave and local add wave, keep the power of each channel
entering OMU to about -6 dBm by adding attenuators. Check the channel flatness
by using OSA, and the debugged attenuation is about 3 dB of the channel flatness.
When VMUX board is used, it does not need to add the fixed attenuator but uses
VOA inside VMUX to adjust directly. Note that the adjustment can be performance
after VMUX sets VOA of each channel to 5 dB in advance.
4. Add the fixed attenuator before SEOBA to make the output power of SEOBA single
channel to 4 dBm/CH (40-wave system). Connect to SEOBA MON interface by
using OSA and test the channel flatness again. If it still does not meet the
requirement, adjust the attenuator of OMU each channel until it meets the
requirement of MPI_S.
5. Add the fixed attenuator before the local drop OUT to ensure that the input power is
in the middle of input power range.
In this case, if the attenuator of 3 dB is added in EONA OUT interface of ODU IN

interface, few attenuators are needed to complete system power commissioning.

Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-83 Power Commissioning of OADM Module 2
Illustration: In module 2, OAD (Multiplexing/de-multiplexing are integrated on one board)

forms an OADM site. For the input power control for each channel of OMU, the straight-
through channel and local add channel must be the same.
Confirming the input power of OAD channel:
1. The output power of EONA2520 single channel can be controlled to 4 dBm/CH (40-
wave system).
2. The straight-through insertion loss of OAD4 IN-M1 is 2 dB; therefore, the M1 output
power is 2 dBm/CH.
3. Generally, the output power range of local add OTU is [0, -5] dBm.
4. In accordance with the straight-through power and local add power got from step 2
and step 3, the input power target for OMU each channel can be -6 dBm.
Procedure
Power control of single direction:
1. The output power of EONA2520 single channel is controlled to 4 dBm/CH (40-wave

system). The attenuation between DCM1 and DCM2 of EONA should be controlled
to 11 dB. If DCM attenuation does not reach 11 dB, use the fixed attenuator to
compensate.
2. Connect (OPM board) to SEOBA OUT interface by using OSA and check the
channel flatness of MPI_S.
3. The power for straight-through wave to enter OAD each channel is about -6 dBm,
and add the fixed attenuator of 8 dB before M1-M2. For local add wave, by adding
the attenuator on ADD interface of OAD to make the power entering OAD each
channel to be about -6 dBm. Check the channel flatness by using OSA, and the
debugged attenuation is about 3 dB of the channel flatness.
4. Add the fixed attenuator before SEOBA to make the output power of SEOBA single
channel to 4 dBm/CH (40-wave system). Test the channel flatness again by using
OSA. If it still OAD ADD interface of each channel until it meets the requirement of
MPI_S.
5. Add the fixed attenuator before the local drop OUT to ensure that the input power is
in the middle of input power range.
9.5 FAQ and Precautions
9.5.1 MPI_S and MPI_R
Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-84 Positions of MPI-S and MPI-R in the System
MPI_S: Main Path Interface-Send
Generally, it is the test point between the OUT interface of sending OBA (or SDMT,
HOBA, EOBA, SEOBA, EOBA) at OTM site and the line fiber connection. When the
system is normal, perform online test on OBA MON interface or OUT interface by using
meters. During maintenance, use OBA MON interface to perform online test.
MPI_R: Main Path Interface-Receive
Generally, it is the test point between the IN interface of OPA (or SDMR, EOPA, SEOPA,
EONA) receiving main light at OTM site and the line fiber connection. When the system
is normal, perform online test on OPA MON interface or IN interface by using meters.
During maintenance, use OPA MON interface to perform online test.
9.5.2 DCM Incoming Fiber Power Control
DCM single wave incoming fiber power should be less than -3 dBm, and it cannot more
than 0 dBm at most.
In the system of 100 G, DCM single wave incoming fiber power should be controlled to
-3 dBm, the smaller the better.
9.5.3 EONA DCM1-DCM2 Power Control
Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-85 EONA DCM1-DCM2 Connection
The attenuation between DCM1 and DCM2 of EONA must be controlled to 11 dB. If
other DCM should be accessed, the port connected to DCM1 should be accessed with
the attenuator. If there is no DCM module, use the attenuator to compensate 11 dB.
Note:
1. In a pure 100 G system, because the dispersion compensation module is not needed,
M2EONA without DCM tap of single slot can be adopted. There are three types:
EONAS1820, EONAS2520 and EONAS3320.
2. M2EONA with DCM tap has three types: EONAS1820, EONAS2520 and
EONAS3320. Compared with the original EONA, its features are as follows: It adopts single
slot, and can check the optical power of DCM1 and DCM2. For example, when the insertion
loss between DCM1 and DCM2 is less than 11 dB, it can report alarms.
9.5.4 Notices for DRA Board

Raman amplifier can promote the transmission distance of single span. Compared with
common amplifier, Raman amplifier has lower noise indicator. In the system using
common amplifiers, the system can get higher OSNR after Raman amplifier is used. The
strong light of Raman amplifier enters the fiber line through LINE optical interface.
Before commissioning, the pump laser of Raman amplifier should be closed first. After
confirming that the line fiber quality meets the requirement, open it then.
DRA includes two types: DRA-B and DRA-P. The output power of DRA-B OUT and DRA-
P IN is more than 27 dBm. The interface type is E2000. DRA board uses line fiber to
amplify Raman effect and the main amplification area is within 40 km of the line fiber.
The actual amplification effect is relevant to the line fiber quality. When the line optical
fiber quality is poor, it has the following two symptoms:
1. The switch gain of DRA board is less than the gain set on NMS.
2. If the line (end surface) reflection is too big, the board laser cannot be opened. After
the reflection problem is solved, the laser can open automatically.

Note:
Before plugging/unplugging the fiber pigtail, the laser must be closed, or plug/unplug the
fiber pigtail after DRA board is uninstalled, to avoid that the output power is too strong to
hurt the fiber pigtail or damage the board when confronted with strong reflective surface.
DRA board switch gain: On DRA-P, get the difference between the tested output power when
the laser is open and the one when the laser is closed. DRA-B switch gain can only be tested
at downstream sites.
9.5.5 Notices During Commissioning

Once the NE internal board and type are confirmed, the power of each node can be
calculated in advance. The budget is the target of the commissioning. If the budget is far
varied from the commissioning value, it indicates that there are errors.
1. The attenuation of internal fiber pigtail should be within 1 dB. Measure the input
and output power at both ends of the fiber pigtail by using the power meter. If the
attenuation is more than 1 dB, clean the fiber pigtail. If it is still more than 1 dB after
clearance, replace the fiber pigtail.
2. The difference between the NMS report power and the actually measure power by
power meter should be within 1.5 dB. If it is more than 1.5 dB, the possible reasons
to cause the fault are as follows.
i. The board interface is dirty, which should be cleaned.
ii. If the difference between the internal power of flange and the external one is
more than 0.5 dB, replace the flange.
iii. The board baseline is not accurate. Replace the board.
3. When VMUX board is used, each channel must be set to 5 dB of insertion loss in
advance. Then perform the commissioning.
4. When the port output power of such big-power boards as EONAH and DRA is more
than 10 dB, it is forbidden to look at the end surface with naked eyes. Before
cleaning the end surface, close the laser or uninstall the board in advance to avoid
that the fiber pigtail or end surface is damaged by strong reflective surface.

and each beam splitter group has 5 beam splitting ports. The beam-splitting ratio for

9.6.3 Description for ROADM System Power Commissioning
9.6.3.1 Principle for ROADM System Power Commissioning
1. For the commissioning of ROADM add unit power, perform coarse adjustment of
channel power by adding attenuators before each channel of OMU.
2. For the commissioning of ROADM drop unit power is mainly realized by adjusting
OCH input power of service board, in the middle of power range allowed by the
controlled optical module.
3. For the commissioning of ROADM cross adjustment unit power, treat the add group
as an independent direction, equally with other directions. Perform power coarse
control of each direction for the input attenuator WSUA, to make the incoming
WSUA single wave power of each direction close or the same.
4. WSUA internal VOA of each direction is used for slight adjustment of channel
power. For WASON system, it is recommended that the adjusted power should not
be more than 3 dB. There is no limitation for non-WASON system. The difference
between the output power and the line fiber channel power of each direction should
meet the channel power balance requirement of MPI_S. The total output of OA
board should also meet the system commissioning requirement.
9.6.3.2 Commissioning Description of ROADM Add Unit Power
For add unit commissioning, refer to Section 9.1. For adding position of attenuator and
power commissioning point, refer to Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-90.
Commissioning point 1: The incoming optical power should be controlled to -6 or -8

dBm.
Commissioning point 2: By controlling OA power calculation formula, the channel power

difference should be controlled within 3 dB.

9.6.3.3 Commissioning Description of ROADM Drop Unit Power
Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-91 Drop Unit Internal Connection 1
Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-92 Drop Unit Internal Connection 2
The two main commissioning points and the adding position of attenuator are shown in
Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-91 and Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-
92.
Commissioning point 1: The total output power of SEOBA is controlled in accordance

with OA power calculation formula. System capacity is the maximum drop wave number
for each GROUP (40 for single ODU configuration, 80 for ODU + OCI configuration).
Commissioning point 2: In accordance with OCH module type of OUT board, control the
input power in the middle of allowed range, varying [-3, 3] dB. Figure Commissioning of
Optical Power-91 uses internal VOA of WSU to adjust attenuation to control the input
power of OUT. In Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-92, the attenuator should be
added at OCH input interface of OUT to control the incoming power.
9.6.3.4 Commissioning Description of Wave Adjusting Unit Power
Preparation
In accordance with wave distribution graph, complete the wave assignment for each
WSUA board.
Power Commissioning Procedure
1. Sending end adjustment
Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-93 4-Dimensional ROADM Wave Adjusting Unit

Power Control Layout
Observe ROADM internal connection. The internal structure of each dimension is

the same. Take EAST as an example. It is found that the sending end WSUA of
EAST dimension has received five PDU signals from WEST, SOUTH, NORTH,
GROUP1 and GROUP2. Therefore, the single wave power sent by the 5 PDU
signals must be guaranteed the same before they enter WSUA. Take EAST as an
example to describe power control procedure.
i. First, control SEOBA single wave power of the 5 channels WEST, SOUTH,
NORTH, GROUP1 and GROUP2, as shown in Table Commissioning of
Optical Power-30.
ii. The insertion loss for each port of PDU5-4 is already known. Then calculate
the output single-channel power for each channel of PDU5-4. Set the
minimum value as the target of input power control for WSUA each port. Here,
it is -8 dBm.

NORTH 80 1 dB/ch 9 -8 -8 dB
GROUP1 80 1 dB/ch 9 -8 -8 dB
GROUP2 80 1 dB/ch 9 -8 -8 dB
Note: The single wave input power of each port of WSUA should be controlled the
same. Take the minimum value out of the single power after the output of 5
channels of PDU5-4 as the control target of WSUA input single wave power.
Therefore, it is -8 dB. Using -8 dB as the target, attenuator of 3 dB should be added
before WSUA before WEST and SOUTH signals enter WSUA. Generally, the
sending end of ROADM uses SEOBA2220 and the receiving end uses EONA.
iii. WSUA single wave output power = WSUA single wave input power – WSUA
insertion loss = -14 dBm.
iv. EAST SEOBA2220 single wave output = 20 - 10log (40) = 4 dBm.
v. The attenuation value of the attenuator added before SEOBA can be

calculated as 4 dBm in accordance with step 3 and step 4.
2. Adjustment of receiving end
The control thought for the adjustment of receiving end power is the same with the
one for sending end; however, the control mode of WSUA power is different, as
show in Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-94, Figure Commissioning of
Optical Power-95, and Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-96.
Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-94 uses the fixed attenuator to control the
single wave input power of WSUA each port to be the same (-8 dBm).
Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-95 uses the internal VOA of WSUA each
port to adjust to make the single wave output power of each port to be the same (-
14 dBm),
In Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-96, the attenuator before SEOBA2220

can be canceled on receiving end. Use the internal VOA of WSUA to adjust to
make single wave output power of SEOBA each channel to be the same (4 dBm).
Figure Commissioning of Optical Power-94 Power Control Mode of Receiving End

Adjustment 1

Adjustment 2

Adjustment 3
Note:
From the aspect of power control, all of the above three modes can be used. However, from
the aspect of intelligent adjustment platform, the first mode is recommended. WSUA power
can be slightly adjusted and the adjustment range of VOA cannot be more than 3 dB. The
reason is that channel power difference can be increased after intelligent adjustment.

9.7 100G System Commissioning

The following contents take 100G long-distance system as an example to describe the
commissioning. The commissioning method is also feasible for other circumstance.
9.7.1 Requirements for 100G System Configuration and Power

Commissioning
100 board line side adopts the commissioning mode of PM-QPSK and the receiving end
adopts DSP to compensate dispersion, it makes the dispersion tolerance up to 70000
ps. Then it is unnecessary to perform DCM configuration in the pure 100G system. In
accordance with commissioning circumstance, 100G system can be divided into the
following two types:
1. Pure 100-G system without requiring the DCM.
2. Mixed 10-G/40-G/100-G system that needs to be configured with the DCM.
9.7.1.1 Pure 100-G System Configuration Principles and Power Debugging

Requirements
1. Principles for Configuring Power Points in a Pure 100-G System
In a 100-G system, non-linear effect is more obvious because of the 100-G

debugging method, high rate, and other factors, and therefore it poses stricter
requirements on incident optical power for 100-G signals. In general, the single-
wave incident optical power of a G.655 system is 0 dBm and the single-wave
incident optical power of a G.652 system is 1 dBm.
Note:
A 40-wave system is not distinguished from an 80-wave system in this document. In other
words, the incident optical power of a 40-wave system is the same as that of an 80-wave
system.
If the OSNR is not fulfilled, you must increase the incident optical power as follows: In a
pure 100-G G.652 system, 1 dBM is designed for four cross-segments. If the OSNR
cannot be fulfilled, the incident optical power is designed to be 5 dBm.

Note:
If neither the 24-dBm nor 26-dBm amplifier can be used, you need to use a 23-dBm

cross-segments to 4 dBm.

2. OA configuration in pure 100G system
DCM is unnecessary to be configured in pure 100G system. Generally, with the same
condition, the noise coefficient for OA without DCM interface is smaller that EONA with
DCM. Therefore, in the system without DCM, the new M2EONA without DCM interface
(M2EONA board supporting two types: with DCM tap and without DCM tap) is
recommended.
There are two advantages to adopt M2EONA:
i. As mentioned above, the noise coefficient for OA without DCM interface is

smaller that EONA with DCM, which is good to promote OSNR after
transmission.
ii. Some spans with low loss can use M2EONA1820. The gain adjustment range
is from 13 dB to 23 dB. However, the gain adjustment range for EONA2520 is
from 20 dB to 30 dB. When the span loss is less than or equivalent to 20 dB
and EONA2520 is used, the span should be compensated to 20 dB. However,
if M2EONA1820 is used, the span can only be compensated to 13 dB (the
span loss is less than 13 dB) or adjust OA gain directly (span loss is from 13
dB to 20 dB). Thus, the system OSNR can be further promoted.
3. Other configuration principles for pure 100G system
Because the pure 100G system can use M2EONA that has smaller noise
coefficient, it can transmit for more spans when OSNR capacity and 40G are
similar. Additionally, it does not have reversed dispersion of DCM, the accumulation
of Raman effect is more obvious. These have brought difficulties for the adjustment
of system power flatness. The system design requirement cannot be satisfied only
by adjusting EONA slope on the main light channel.
Power for the 6 spans of 100G system (including 6 spans, physical span, without
consideration of EHOBA) should be balanced. When there are 6 ~ 11 spans, 1
VMUX board should be configured on the receiving end; when there are 12 ~ 17
spans, 1 VMUX + 1 DGE site should be configured; when there are 18 or more
spans, 1 VMUX + 2 DGE sites should be configured. When DGE site uses WSUA
(MD1A1) board, it is equivalent to 2-dimensional ROADM site without add/drop
board.
Note:
WSUA board is connected between DCM1 and DCM2 of EONA. Note that EONA board of
DGE site should be configured to the type with DCM tap.
For the mixed system of 10G/40G/100G, the sending end must be configured with
VMUX due to the output power difference.
9.7.1.2 Configuration Principle for the Mixed System of 100G and 40G/10G
1. Power Point configuration principle for the mixed system of 100G and 40G/10G
In the mixed system of 100G and 40G/10G, it has higher requirement for single
channel incoming fiber power of 100G. The main reasons are as follows:
i. The fiber core area of DCM is smaller; therefore, the allowed single channel
incoming fiber power is smaller.
ii. The transmission distance for DCM existing light is longer, non-linear effect
accumulation is more obvious.
iii. The amplitude modulation signal of 10G has great effect on 100G signal.
Due to the reasons mentioned above, the power commissioning requirements for
mixed system are as follows:
i. The single wave incoming fiber power of 10G and 40G are still debugged in
accordance with standard one (for example, for OBA2220 of 80-wave system,
the optical power of single wave incoming fiber is debugged to 1 dBm).
ii.. The incident optical power of a multi-cross-segment 100-G system is smaller

than that of a pure 100-G system by 1 dBm. In general, the incident optical
power of a G.652 system is 0 dBm while the incident optical power of a G.655
system is -1 dBm. If the OSNR cannot be fulfilled, the incident optical power
must be increased as follows.

from 196.05 THz. Only one-wave 10-G system is adjacent to one-wave 100-G system.
In addition, the wave channels of an adjacent 10-G system must be strictly controlled
and must meet the above optical power requirements.

Note:
2. Other configuration requirements for the mixed system of 100G and 40G/10G
i. In the mixed system of 10G/40G/100G, take the DCM configuration principle

of 40G as the account. In the mixed system of 10G/100G, take the DCM
configuration principle of 10G as the account. What should be noted here is
that the DCM incoming fiber power should be reduced to the minimum. On the
condition that other performance is not affected, DCM incoming fiber power
should be less than -3 dBm, the less the better.
ii. 100G has better performance with long wavelength; therefore, for 100G
services, try to use long wavelength. Alternatively, use the wavelength starting
from 192.10Thz.
iii. If allowed, the 10G wave channel can be decreased to promote the
performance of 100G wave channel.
9.7.2 Commissioning Method of 100G System
The commissioning method and procedure for 100G system is as follows:
1. Ensure that all used boards work normally. For details, refer to board maintenance
guide and single machine test guide.
2. Confirm the loss, OA configuration and dispersion distribution of each span.
3. Check the power of each power point of OTM site on sending end, including but not
limited to: sending interface of service board line side, OMU sending interface, OCI
sending interface, and EOBA incoming fiber interface. The mainly focused contents
are: check whether service board lightening is normal, whether insertion loss for
OMU, OCI, and DCM is normal, and whether the jumper insertion loss for each
connecting point is normal. The incoming fiber of EOBA should meet the following
three conditions:
i. [single wave incoming fiber power + 10*logM-Gmax, single wave incoming fiber
power + 10*logM-Gmin], single wave incoming fiber power indicates average
channel incoming fiber power, M indicates wavelength number, and G max and
Gmin means the maximum and minimum gains for EOBA. The former range is
the maximum one.
ii. When condition (1) is satisfied, reserve some space for OA gain adjustment.
iii. When conditions (1) and (2) are satisfied, try to promote the incoming light for
EOBA.
For example, For OTM sending end OBA2220, it is recommended that gain control
is 20 to promote OA input power.
For example, as to OTM sending end OBA2220, it is recommended that gain

4. Adjust signal flatness of sending end. It is required that the signal power flatness of
sending end is < 2 dB. If the sending end is configured with VMUX, it is better to
adjust power flatness to about 1 dB.
5. Adjust the gain for EONA of all levels. After adjusting VMUX, check whether OBA
on sending end is saturated. If gain is to be reduced, check sending end flatness by
using the OSA and then adjust OA gain level by level. The commissioning mode is
different due to the quantity difference of wavelength in the system.
i. When there are many system waves (more than 20): OA output optical power
= single wave incoming fiber optical power + 10logM (M indicates the wave
number in the system). For example, the single wave incoming fiber power is
1 dBm and there are 32 waves in the system. Then adjust OA light to 1 +
10log32 = 16 dBm. Note that the value of M in the system is not constant.
ii. When there are a few system waves (less than 20): The commissioning
method is slightly different from the one of many waves. On this condition, the
first OBA of the system still observes the commissioning method of OA output
optical power = single wave incoming fiber optical power + 10logM. Generally,
for following OAs, use OA gain to compensate the span loss to adjust OA
gain. In other words, span loss value is OA gain. The reason is that with the
commissioning method of OA output optical power = single wave incoming
fiber optical power + 10logM, the noise of system following optical path is
stimulated. Although the outgoing light of OA is the same with former one, due
to the increasing noise power, the single wave incoming fiber power of actual
signal cannot meet the configuration requirement and system OSNR also
cannot meet the system configuration requirement. To ensure OSNR after
transmission and meet the design requirement, this commissioning method is
adopted. When there are OAs with different maximum output power, use OA
gain to compensate the span loss to adjust OA gain. OA gain = (OA maximum
output power of this level – OA maximum output power of former level) + span
loss.
6. Adjust gain slope for EONA of all levels and adjust the single channel power for
such boards that possibly exist in the system as WSU. The following two points
should be noted when adjusting OA gain slope.
i. Do not make single OA gain slope too big, such as -4 or +1.
ii. The flatness for OSNR and power on receiving end should be considered
together.
For WSU/VMUX board, adjust its single channel power. Note that it should be
consistent with OA slope.
7. Check the power for each power point of OTM site on receiving end, including but
not limited to: power of receiving end OA, power of each channel of OCI and OCU,
power of OUT receiving end, to ensure that each power and insertion loss are
normal. Ensure that the receiving power of 100G service board line side is between
-8 dBm and -12 dBm, to make the system performance best.
8. Use OPM or OSA to measure the power flatness of receiving and sending end, and
OSNR flatness of receiving end. Then the flatness of sending and receiving end
should meet the requirement of “6 received and 6 sent”. When there are some
margins, repeat step 4 to step 8 to promote the performance and OSNR of
receiving end until the system performance is best.
9. System commissioning result inspection:
i. Check on system power: Check whether input/output power, multiplexing/de-

multiplexing power, service board receiving/sending power of OA of all levels
are normal, and whether the span loss and insertion loss between DCM1 and
DCM 2 of EONA is 11 dB.
ii. Check on system residual dispersion: The dispersion tolerance of 100G can
reach up to 50000 ps; therefore, the dispersion of pure 100G system is
unnecessary to consider. However, observation of 100G dispersion can assist
system commissioning.
 In the mixed system, 100G board can be used as OSA to get the residual
dispersion for each channel quickly. Then check whether the dispersion of the
channel suits 10G/40G transmission.
 Observe and record dispersion for different channels to get the dispersion
rules for different channels. Then promote and reduce the incoming fiber
power to understand the system non-linear condition.
 Observe the variation rule for history dispersion to know the variation rules
and range for system dispersion with the change of time and temperature, to
locate the system fault and provide evidence.
iii. Check on system margin: Reduce 2 dB of the receiving OSNR by reducing the
main light power point of sending end to test OSNR capacity of the system.
iv. Check on system non-linear effect: Add 3 dB of the sending power to observe
system performance (through BER change before and after error correction,
OSNR capacity), to check the system non-linear effect.
9.7.3 Common Faults for 100G System Commissioning
1. The optical interface of board line side cannot be connected.
Symptom: The optical interface of line side cannot be connected and the LR
indicator on the board flashes.
Reason analysis: The dispersion search is abnormal.
Solution: In (optical domain) the menu Dispersion Compensation, query the

current target dispersion and error bit ratio before and after error correction. If there
is no target dispersion but error bit after error correction, the possible reason is that
dispersion is not locked, and then there is no normal lock signal for the line side
modules. To solve the fault, reset the line side modules one by one (click OCH
Input Port on NMS to reset core modules) by IC reset, power off/on reset, or
unplugging/plugging onsite, to make the line side optical modules work normally.
9.8 OSNR Test

Different service boards have different requirements for the system minimum OSNR
(see Table Commissioning of Optical Power-39). After system test, OSNR must meet the
lowest requirement. If the signal quality is degraded caused by bigger PMD or uneven
dispersion compensation, the higher OSNR should be compensated.
10G uses RZ modulation while 40G and 100G use the modulation of P-DPSK, RZ-
DQPSK, and PM-DQPSK. OSNR meter supporting traditional test mode with overlapped
frequencies among channels cannot test OSNR accurately, and the test deviation is big.
The traditional OSNR test meter cannot support ROADM pass-through OSNR test.
Therefore, the meter supporting the integration method or coherence method should be
used to test the OSNR.

Tools and Meters
SDH signal analyzer, IP signal analyzer, OTN signal analyzer, fiber, flange, fixed optical
attenuator.
Fiber Connection Figure
Figure Error Bit/Packet Loss Rate Test-99 Channel Serial Connection Test
Note: There is no signal insertion or capture at optical amplification site and trunk site; therefore, these sites are not
displayed.
Procedure
1. Locally, the sending optical interface of signal analyzer is connected to CR interface

of the first OTU board or CS board. The receiving interface of signal analyzer is
connected to OTU board of the last channel or CT interface of CS board.
Additionally, add fixed optical attenuators at CR interface of OTU and IN interface
of the analyzer.
2. Locally, the CT interface of the first OUT or CS board should be connected to the
CR interface of the second OTU or CS board. Additionally, add the fixed optical
attenuator at CR interface.
3. Perform loop of CR and CT on rear OTU or CS board and add the fixed optical
attenuator on CR interface.
Note:
There should be no more than 13 OTU boards cascaded.
The pass-through times for line board ODU2 should be no more than 16.
Currently, there are six types of LC fixed optical attenuator: 15 dB, 10 dB, 7 dB, 5 dB, 2 dB,
and 1 dB. Note the normal receiving range for OTU board or tributary board when the fixed
optical attenuator is used.
11 Protection Function Test

Purpose
Check whether the network protection switchover works normally.
The protection types supported by OTN product are as follows:

 1+1 optical channel protection
 Optical channel sharing protection
 1+1 optical MS protection
 MS sharing protection
 Optical multi-channel protection
 Electrical layer sub-wave protection (ODU0, ODU1, ODU2, ODU3, ODU4)
 Electrical layer wave protection (ODU0, ODU1, ODU2, ODU3, ODU4)
 Electrical layer EPCS protection
Procedure
Figure Protection Function Test-100 Electrical Layer Wave 1+1 Protection Test 1
Figure Protection Function Test-101 Electrical Layer Wave 1+1 Protection Test 2
Test procedure for electrical layer wave 1+1 protection:
1. Configure cross connection through E300/T31/U31, and then query each channel
performance to verify that there is no exception alarm.
2. Configure electrical layer sub-wave 1+1 protection group on E300/T31/U31 and the
multicast route can be delivered normally. Add fixed optical attenuators for the input
interfaces of CO2/LO2 service boards.
3. Connect the test meter to local CS board and connect the rear CS board to the
meter, too. If there are no sufficient meters, perform loopback for rear CS board, as
shown in Figure Protection Function Test-100.
4. Execute the command Force Switchover on NMS to switch the protection group to
channel P. After the command Clear is executed, the protection is recovered to
channel W. Then it indicates that hardware communication status is normal.
5. Execute the command Loop Rehearsal on NMS, and the switchover status of
protection group is consistent with the demanded operation. After the command
Clear is executed, the protection group is recovered. Then it indicates that
protection configurations are correct and protection protocols are normal.
Otherwise, check whether protection group configurations and multicast route are
correct.
6. Uninstall the receiving end fiber pigtail of working channel (or turn off the laser), as
shown in red lines in Figure Protection Function Test-101. Then check the
protection switchover status. The protection should be switched over to channel P.
Read out the switchover time with the meter, which should be less than 50 ms.
Then recover fiber connection (or turn on the laser) and the protection group is
recovered to channel W after the time of WTR.
Note:
Before protection switchover test, ensure that tests of system optical power and error bit
indicators are passed and there are no exceptional performance and alarms.
During the test of fiber unplugging, the correct method is to unplug the fiber pigtail at
receiving end. Otherwise, there may be secondary switchover or switchover timed out.
The number for electrical sub-wave protection and electrical wave protection group should
be no more than 40; otherwise, the switchover time is easily to be expired.
In EPCS protection group, there should be no more than 8 NEs and 4 protection groups.
The time for IP service switchover should be calculated: switchover time = packet loss
number * 1000 / packet sending number per second.

the segment of electrical interface 3 of SOSC board. Then install the phone on SEI
panel. Then call all other site numbers at one site. There should be ring for all sites and
ring back tone for local site. The communication quality is good without noise.
13 Common Faults During

Commissioning
13.1 Dispersion
Fault Description
The system OSNR meets the standard requirement. However, LOF occurs in several
channels or the error bit ratio before error correction is as high as more than E-5.
Fault Analysis and Solution
Generally, the above symptom is probably caused by DCM dispersion compensation.

Possible reasons:
1. The fiber type used by system design is different from the one of actual
commissioning. The type of certain OTS segment is different, or OTS segment is
connected by different types of jumper.
2. The fiber data of design is different from the one of commissioning. Then use
dispersion meter to test.
3. DCM module is wrongly connected at one or more sites. For example, direction A
uses DCM100 at OLA site while B uses DCM60. The incorrect connection makes
the accumulated dispersion of OMS segment compensate the dispersion tolerance
of service board.
4. DCM dispensation of system design is unreasonable.
i. Dispersion compensation is judged by service route base. The total dispersion

compensation on the whole service routes should follow the principle of
undercompensation. The amount of undercompensation is related to the
dispersion tolerance of service board. For details, refer to Table Common
Faults During Commissioning-40.
ii. Dispersion compensation is not balanced. Dispersion compensation curve

peaks for the whole MS should be balanced and the peak should not be more
than 110 km. It is best to be controlled within 80 km (1200 ps). If the peak of
110 km or close to 110 km cannot be avoided, the quantity should be
controlled, the less the better.
5. If there is such a fault onsite, analyze in accordance with the 4 steps mentioned
above. If necessary, use dispersion analyzer to test segment by segment. During
engineering, the temporary method to check the fault is to replace DCM type of
some places to modify the total compensation and dispersion compensation
balance. Then observe the error bit ratio before error correction for the service
board. If the error bit ratio before error correction is reduced, it indicates that
dispersion is promoted.

13.2 Fiber PMD Fault

Fault Description
Observe the error bit ratio before error correction of service board for a period of time. If
there are big changes for error bit ratio before error correction but the system power
does not have any obvious changes, it may be caused by PMD.
Fiber PMD is a random parameter, which can be modified in accordance with present
status of fiber mechanism, unbalanced fiber core size, temperature change and
movement of aerial fiber with wind. PMD tolerance for 10G/40G/100G boards is
different. Therefore, although services are from the same route, their symptoms are
different due to rate and board PMD tolerance.
Determination method:
1. Use PMD meter to test the fiber.
2. When there is no meter, exchange the fiber to determine temporarily to check

whether the fault symptom is changed with fiber movement.
3. Isolate by adding trunks. The prerequisite is that the total number of span PMD
after isolation should be less than board PMD tolerance.
4. PM can be compensated by promoting OSNR to some degree. However, to solve

fiber PMD fault totally, it is better to recommend the customer to replace the fiber.

Board PMD Tolerance Remarks

10G 10 ps
40G DPSK 2.5 ps
40G DQPSK 7 ps
100G PM-DQPSK 30 ps
13.3 Fiber Reflection Fault

Fault Description
There are many symptoms for reflection fault in the system: error bit for several
channels, individual error bit for several channels, or individual error bit for single
channel.
1. If there is strong reflection for the line, promote system main light power (which
cannot reach the non-linear effect range) to observe the error bit ratio before error
correction of service board. If the error bit ratio is increased, it indicates that it is
reflection fault. In this case, use OTDR to test to find the reflection event point.
Then melt it again.
2. When there is no OTDR, exchange line fiber for simple determination. Check
whether the fault symptom is changed with fiber exchange.
13.4 OSNR Fault

Fault Description
The system OSNR does not meet the standard requirement.
Possible reasons:
1. The used OSNR meter is not accurate and the test result is inaccurate. For
ROADM pass-through, 10G ERZ, 40G, 100G, the channel should use the meter
supporting integration method to test.
2. For line fiber fault, check the difference between the actual line fiber attenuation
and the design value. If the line fiber actually tested is 3 dB more than the design
value, each element should be checked so as t o locate the fault: fiber wiring, line
fiber, flange, ODF and jumping site. Under extreme system design, the less
difference the better.
3. If there is no margin during system design, design and modify OA board

configuration again in accordance with parameters of actual fiber.

Configuration
B.3.1 Configuration Principles for 8-Wave System Amplifier
When the customer requires no more than 80G of service traffic, the multiplexing/de-
multiplexing boards (SOGMDB) and OA board can be ignored, to just build an 8-wave
10G link type network or ring network.
8-wave system power budget is as follows:
Figure Common Faults During Commissioning-5 8-Wave System Link Design
Without configuring OA, ZTE’s PIC system supports the link with loss no more than 3db.
When the link loss is more than 3db, it is necessary to configure OA board. Table 13-6
lists quick reference table for OA board.
Table Common Faults During Commissioning-5 OA Quick Reference Table for 8-Wave
PIC System
Link Loss (dB) (including

OA at TX End OA at RX End
DCM insert loss)
3<loss≦21 M2SEOPA1717
21<loss≦26 M2SEOPA2217
26<loss≦38 SEOBA2220 M2SEOPA2217
Note: In 8-wave system, when the link loss is smaller than 26db, the TX end doesn’t need to configure OA, the
supervision channel is ESC.
ESC uses overhead bytes in the fixed frame structure of the service to transfer
supervision information of the NE. In this way, inter-NE communication is fulfilled by
interconnection of OTN board directly. This is called electrical supervision channel (ESC
for short).
 Main features of ESC:
1. No need to configure OSC SFP module. It transfers supervision information

through interconnection of LO2B board directly.
2. It allows supervision information and main service signal to be transferred together.
3. It doesn’t occupy wavelength resources.

 Channel Type
ESC allows transfer of OAM information through frame structure GCC of G.709. ESC
merges supervision information through the wavelength converting board into the
service channel to transfer. OTU board fulfills ESC transfer through the channel-
associated GCC bytes recommended by ITU-T G.709.
 About ESC Configuration
LO2B board supports electrical supervision. Supervision information is transferred

through OTN overhead byte (GCC0/GCC1/GCC2) of the service board. Now, SOSCB
board no longer needs to configure SFP optical module. One SOSCB board doesn’t
allow more than 20 electrical supervision channels.
B.3.2 Configuration Principles for 16/40 Wave System Amplifier
40-wave system needs to configure SOGMDB board, which has large insert loss.
Therefore, the link needs to configure OA board.
Figure Common Faults During Commissioning-6 Power Budget at RX End
From the figure above, we can see that internal optical power budget of the node meets
all requirements no matter what type of OA is configured at the RX end. Therefore,
whether RX end needs to configure OA or not largely depends on link loss and
dispersion compensation.
PIC system recommends relay for each site. If the link dispersion is within ±800ps, it is
not necessary to configure dispersion compensation module. If the link dispersion is
beyond ±800ps, it is necessary to configure dispersion compensation.

From the above figure, we can see that just configure SEOBA2220+4dB attenuator at
the TX end.
