DoS for DWDM(ROADM)

Power ON both the power supply modules (Active &

standby). Check the led (ETH) status of SCC card, it should flick in green color, if not check for the proper connectivity of NE with switch. Always make the connectivity of NE from Eth 1 provided in the subrack. Every board has two leds for status: RED For alarm (critical, major, minor) & GREEN - Booting and normal functioning of board.

 Always use High rating power meter for measuring the

power rating on the line side main ports as out, otherwise take measurements at MON (Monitoring ports) which will show appx. 20 dB less than the original rating. Keep the DWDM equipment room clean and dust free. For in-service monitoring with OSA, use the MON (Monitoring) port on the line side. Use proper label sticker for the OADM sites, to ensure east and west connectivity properly. Maintain power monitoring chart for line powers ratings.

CONFIGURATION WITH EMS/LCT

Use search operation for the creation of new NEs in the link.
Ensure the following for effective DCN

management:
Fibre link should be OK; there should not be any alarm

on the SC1/SC2 cards in the link. NEs housing the SCC and SC1/SC2 cards will communicate through optical supervisory channel, for the communication of other NEs,configure ECC management as follows:

I) In the NE explorer, choose NE and choose communication > ECC Management II) Set the ecc extended mode > Auto mode. III) Ensure the connectivity of all NEs with the switch. IV )For the redundancy of GNE, for all NEs there should be one active GNE and standby GNE2,GNE3.

 Enable the NE time synchronization and performance

analysis (15 minutes and 24 hours.) for all NEs in the link to get the accurate alarm and performance data. After creation of all optical NEs( OTM, LCOADM,ROADM) ensure that the fibre connectivity between the optical NEs is make from OBU(out) to OAU (in) and vice versa , it will help in following manner.
We can know the health of the link, OK link will come in green and

faulty link fibre appears in red. By selecting the fibre link the optical power at both the stations for selected link can be queried directly. Similarly for internal fibre connectivity fibre connection can be made in the NE explorer as follows:

Always adjust the link in sequence after verifying the link

powers because any adjustment done in intermediate span will affect the link power budget of the entire subsequent link.

Don'ts:
Optical powers at amplifiers output are of high rating and

hazardous for human body parts as eyes, dont expose the optical powers at eyes during maintenance, power measurements etc. Once the DWDM System is configured, do not perform manual configuration as the entire earlier configuration will be deleted (i.e. Only upload needs to be executed). Avoid duplicate NE IDs .The NE ID should be unique in all DWDM NEs. For example 24001, 24002 etc, If the NE ID is same for two systems in the LCT or EMS, NE information list appears in TOGGLE mode ( i.e. enable/ disable condition and communication is interrupted) due to address conflict. Use attenuators at the receiver ports of the transponders at client side to keep the powers within the dynamic range and avoid overloading of the receiver port, High power at the RX port may damage the SFP module.

Don'ts (Cont..)
Do not remove or extract any cards from the sub racks

during transportation as due to improper jack in the board pins /connectors may get damaged accidentally. Take caution during Jack in and jack out, if at all it is necessary To maintain Security Users having different privileges, Administrator, Monitor Group/Maintainer Group/Operator Group etc have to be created on the EMS so that only authorized personnel are allowed to do changes in the configuration.

EMS Maintenance Points:

Switch on the EMS in the following manner:
First switch on the storage array (OCEAN STOR S2600), and wait for the front

disk led to get stable. Now switch on the Primary domain controller and wait for its normal booting and log in to the windows server. Switch on the Primary Server and log on to the NMSDomain account. Switch on the Secondary domain controller and log in to the domain account. Now switch on the Secondary server in the NMSDomain account. This was the normal switch on procedure for the EMS setup in 1+1 HA Cluster system, for switch off the EMS server follow the same procedure in the reverse order.

Now, in normal condition Primary server should be on line, follow the

following steps to check the cluster configuration and then starting the T2000 application server for NE management.

Click on start > Cluster Administration

 It will open GUI for cluster administration now Click on NMS Cluster > Groups > Cluster group : It will

show the status of the online server activities on the right panel and check the activities , it should be online for proper functioning otherwise contact Customer support for technical support. Click NMS Cluster > Cluster configuration > Networks: Check for the public and private network connections, it should be up; otherwise check the Ethernet connectivity of server with the switch. Click on NMS Cluster > T2000 Server1: under this check for Active groups, active resources and network interfaces.(Only online server will show the active groups in this option). Click on NMS Cluster > T2000 Server2: under this check for Active groups, active resources and network interfaces.

 After ensuring the above activity, if it is ok , start the T2000 Application software in following manner:
Double Click on the desktop at T2000 Server monitor, it

will open the server processes. Start all process and wait for their running condition. After all the processes came into running status; click on the desktop at T2000 Client icon to start the client services: It will ask for the user name and password: default user name = admin, password = T2000. This will start the client services and GUI for sub network management system will appear on the screen after this do the ne configuration as per procedure.

 There is one more icon on the desktop screen of the server

for the management of the storage array by the name of ISM: Periodically check the status of the storage array controllers and the disks as follows:
Default user name : admin Default password : 123456 Main window will open click on All array > T2000 > controller enclosure :

Double click on ISM icon : It will ask for user name and password

Under controller enclosure two sub options are there:

controller A and controller B. Select each controller for its device figure and device information, whether they are online or offline; contact supplier CS if there is any problem in the status of controllers.
Storage array houses six no. of hard disks, each of 146 GB. Out of

six, four nos. of disk are configured with RAID5 configuration and other two are provided as hot and standby solution for redundancy of disks.

 Check following points regularly for ensuring proper

functioning of the hard disks in RAID5 : Click on All array > T2000 > RAID Group > RAID 5 : Under the option of RAID5, the device figure and device information for all hard disk configured will appear on the screen , so check for their normal functioning and online status. There is also the provision of the alarm and event statistics on the top most menu bar which is updated with the storage array so any abnormality can be seen and necessary action may be taken to rectify the same.
