1 Safety Precautions
This topic describes the safety precautions that you must follow when installing, operating, and
maintaining Huawei devices.
Grounding Requirements
The grounding requirements are applicable to the device that needs to be grounded.
l When installing the device, always connect the grounding facilities first. When removing
the device, always disconnect the grounding facilities last.
l Ensure that the grounding conductor is intact.
l Do not operate the device in the absence of a suitably installed grounding conductor.
l The device must be connected to the protection ground (PGND) permanently. Before
operating the device, check the electrical connections of the device, and ensure that the
device is properly grounded.
Human Safety
l When there is a risk of a lightning strike, do not operate the fixed terminal or touch the
cables.
l When there is risk of a lightning strike, unplug the AC power connector. Do not use the
fixed terminal or touch the terminal or antenna connector.
NOTE
The preceding requirements apply to wireless fixed station terminals.
l To avoid electric shocks, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to
telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits.
l Do not look into optical ports without eye protection. Otherwise, human eyes may be hurt
by laser beams.
l Before operating the device, wear an ESD protective coat, ESD gloves, and an ESD wrist
strap. In addition, you need to get off the conductive objects, such as jewelry and watches,
to prevent electric shock and burn.
l In case of fire, escape from the building or site where the device is located and press the
fire alarm bell or dial the telephone number for fire alarms. Do not enter the burning building
again in any situation.
Device Safety
l Before any operation, install the device firmly on the ground or other rigid objects, such as
on a wall or in a rack.
l When the system is working, ensure that the ventilation hole is not blocked.
l When installing the front panel, use a tool to tighten the screws firmly, if required.
l After installing the device, clean up the packing materials.
Table 1-1 Warning and safety symbols of the OptiX RTN 380
High Voltage
DANGER
l A high-voltage power supply provides power for device operations. Direct human contact
with the high voltage power supply or human contact through damp objects can be fatal.
l Unspecified or unauthorized high voltage operations could result in fire or electric shock, or
both.
Thunderstorm
The requirements apply only to wireless base stations or devices with antennas and feeders.
DANGER
Do not perform operations on high voltage, AC power, towers, or backstays in stormy weather
conditions.
WARNING
Before powering on a device, ground the device. Otherwise, the safety of humans and the device
cannot be ensured.
If a high leakage current mark is labeled near the power connector of the device, you must
connect the PGND terminal on the shell to the ground before connecting the device to an A/C
input power supply. This is to prevent the electric shock caused by leakage current of the device.
Power Cables
DANGER
Do not install or remove the power cable with a live line. Transient contact between the core of
the power cable and the conductor may generate electric arc or spark, which may cause fire or
eye injury.
l Before installing or removing power cables, you must power off the device.
l Before connecting a power cable, you must ensure that the label on the power cable is
correct.
DANGER
Installing or removing a device is prohibited if the device is on.
DANGER
Do not install or remove the power cables of the equipment when it is powered on.
Short Circuits
When installing and maintaining devices, place and use the associated tools and instruments in
accordance with regulations to avoid short-circuits caused by metal objects.
Fuse
WARNING
If the fuse on a device blows, replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type and specifications to
ensure safe operation of the device.
DANGER
Do not place or operate devices in an environment of flammable or explosive air or gas.
DANGER
Before operating a storage battery, you must read the safety precautions carefully and be familiar
with the method of connecting a storage battery.
l Incorrect operations of storage batteries cause hazards. During operation, prevent any short-
circuit, and prevent the electrolyte from overflowing or leakage.
l If the electrolyte overflows, it causes potential hazards to the device. The electrolyte may
corrode metal parts and the circuit boards, and ultimately damage the circuit boards.
l A storage battery contains a great deal of energy. Misoperations may cause a short-circuit,
which leads to human injuries.
Basic Precautions
To ensure safety, note the following points before installing or maintaining the storage battery:
l Use special insulation tools.
l Wear an eye protector and take effective protection measures.
l Wear rubber gloves and a protection coat to prevent the hazard caused by the overflowing
electrolyte.
l When handling the storage battery, ensure that its electrodes are upward. Leaning or
reversing the storage battery is prohibited.
l Before installing or maintaining the storage battery, ensure that the storage battery is
disconnected from the power supply that charges the storage battery.
Short-Circuit
DANGER
A battery short-circuit may cause human injuries. Although the voltage of an ordinary battery
is low, the instantaneous high current caused by a short-circuit emits a great deal of energy.
Avoid any short-circuit of batteries caused by metal objects. If possible, disconnect the working
battery before performing other operations.
Hazardous Gas
CAUTION
Do not use any unsealed lead-acid storage battery. Lay a storage battery horizontally and fix it
properly to prevent the battery from emitting flammable gas, which may cause fire or device
erosion.
Working lead-acid storage batteries emit flammable gas. Therefore, ventilation and fireproofing
measures must be taken at the sites where lead-acid storage batteries are placed.
Battery Temperature
CAUTION
If a battery overheats, the battery may be deformed or damaged, and the electrolyte may
overflow.
When the temperature of the battery is higher than 60°C, you need to check whether the
electrolyte overflows. If the electrolyte overflows, take appropriate measures immediately.
Battery Leakage
CAUTION
In the event of acid overflow or spillage, neutralize the acid and clean it up appropriately.
When handling a leaky battery, protect against the possible damage caused by the acid. When
you find the electrolyte leaks, you can use the following substances to counteract and absorb the
leaking electrolyte:
l Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)
l Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3)
In the event of acid overflow or spillage, neutralize the acid and clean it up as recommended by
the battery manufacturer and any local regulations for acid disposal.
If a person contacts battery electrolyte, clean the skin that contacts the battery electrolyte
immediately by using water. In case of a severe situation, the person must be sent to a hospital
immediately.
1.6 Radiation
This topic describes safety precautions for electromagnetic exposure and lasers.
DANGER
When installing or maintaining optical fibers, avoid direct eye exposure to the laser beams
launched from the optical interface or fiber connectors. The laser beam can cause damage to
your eyes.
CAUTION
If fiber connectors or flanges are contaminated, optical power commissioning is seriously
affected. Therefore, the two endfaces and flange of every external fiber must be cleaned before
the fiber is led into the equipment through the optical distribution frame (ODF) for being inserted
into an optical interface on the equipment.
The fiber connectors and optical interfaces of the lasers must be cleaned with the following
special cleaning tools and materials:
l Special cleaning solvent: It is preferred to use isoamylol. Propyl alcohol, however, can also
be used. It is prohibited that you use alcohol and formalin.
l Non-woven lens tissue
l Special compressed gas
l Cotton stick (medical cotton or long fiber cotton)
l Special cleaning roll, used with the recommended cleaning solvent
l Special magnifier for fiber connectors
CAUTION
Ensure that all personnel are beyond the transmit direction of a working antenna.
l Before entering an area where the electromagnetic radiation is beyond the specified range,
the associated personnel must shut down the electromagnetic radiator or stay at least 10
meters away from the electromagnetic radiator, if in the transmit direction.
l A physical barrier and an eye-catching warning flag should be available in each forbidden
area.
1.6.4 Laser
This topic describes safety precautions for lasers.
WARNING
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet directly
without eye protection.
Laser transceivers are used in the optical transmission system and associated test tools. The laser
transmitted through the bare optical fiber produces a small beam of light, and therefore it has
very high power density and is invisible to human eyes. When a beam of light enters eyes, the
eyes may be damaged.
In normal cases, viewing an un-terminated optical fiber or a damaged optical fiber without eye
protection at a distance greater than 150 mm does not cause eye injury. Eye injury may occur,
however, if an optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to view
an un-terminated optical fiber.
1.6.5 Microwave
When installing and maintaining the equipment of Huawei, follow the safety precautions of
microwave to ensure the safety of the human body and the equipment.
WARNING
Strong radio frequency can harm the human body.
When installing or maintaining an aerial on the tower or mast that is installed with multiple
aerials, switch off the transmitter in advance.
WARNING
When working at heights, be cautious to prevent objects from falling down.
WARNING
When heavy objects are being hoisted, do not walk below the cantilever or hoisted objects.
l Before hoisting heavy objects, ensure that the hoisting tools are fixed to a secure object or
wall with good weight-bearing capacity.
l Issue orders with short and explicit words to ensure correct operations.
l Ensure that the angle between the two cables is less than or equal to 90 degrees during the
lifting, as shown in Figure 1-1.
Checking Ladders
l Before using a ladder, check whether the ladder is damaged. After checking that the ladder
is in good condition, you can use the ladder.
l Before using a ladder, you should know the maximum weight capacity of the ladder. Avoid
overweighing the ladder.
Placing Ladders
The proper slant angle of the ladder is 75 degrees. You can measure the slant angle of the ladder
with an angle square or your arms, as shown in Figure 1-2. When using a ladder, to prevent the
ladder from sliding, ensure that the wider feet of the ladder are downward, or take protection
measures for the ladder feet. Ensure that the ladder is placed securely.
Climbing Up a Ladder
When climbing up a ladder, pay attention to the following points:
l Ensure that the center of gravity of your body does not deviate from the edges of the two
long sides.
l Before operations, ensure that your body is stable to reduce risks.
l Do not climb higher than the fourth rung of the ladder (counted from up to down).
If you want to climb up a roof, ensure that the ladder top is at least one meter higher than the
roof, as shown in Figure 1-3.
Figure 1-3 Ladder top being one meter higher than the roof
Drilling Holes
WARNING
Do not drill holes on the cabinet without prior permission. Drilling holes without complying
with the requirements affects the electromagnetic shielding performance of the cabinet and
damages the cables inside the cabinet. In addition, if the scraps caused by drilling enter the
cabinet, the printed circuit boards (PCBs) may be short-circuited.
l Before drilling a hole on the cabinet, remove the cables inside the cabinet.
l Wear an eye protector when drilling holes. This is to prevent eyes from being injured by
the splashing metal scraps.
l Wear protection gloves when drilling holes.
l Take measures to prevent the metallic scraps from falling into the cabinet. After the drilling,
clean up the metallic scraps.
Sharp Objects
WARNING
Wear protection gloves when carrying the device. This is to prevent hands from being injured
by the sharp edges of the device.
Fans
l When replacing parts, place the objects such as the parts, screws, and tools properly. This
is to prevent them from falling into the operating fans, which damages the fans or device.
l When replacing the parts near fans, keep your fingers or boards from touching operating
fans before the fans are powered off and stop running. Otherwise, the hands or the boards
are damaged.
WARNING
l The carrier must be prepared for load bearing before carrying heavy objects. This is to prevent
the carrier from being strained or pressed by the heavy objects.
l When you pull a chassis out of the cabinet, pay attention to the unstable or heavy objects on
the cabinet. This is to prevent the heavy objects on the cabinet top from falling down, which
may hurt you.
l Generally, two persons are needed to carry a chassis. It is prohibited that only one person
carries a heavy chassis. When carrying a chassis, the carriers should stretch their backs and
move stably to avoid being strained.
l When moving or lifting a chassis, hold the handles or bottom of the chassis. Do not hold
the handles of the modules installed in the chassis, such as the power modules, fan modules,
and boards.
CAUTION
When inserting a board, wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves, and handle the board gently to
avoid distorting pins on the backplane.
CAUTION
Bind the signal cables separately from the high-current or high-voltage cables.
Routing Cables
In the case of extremely low temperature, heavy shock or vibration may damage the plastic skin
of the cables. To ensure the construction safety, comply with the following requirements:
l When installing cables, ensure that the environment temperature is above 0°C.
l If the cables are stored in a place where the ambient temperature is below 0°C, transfer
them to a place at room temperature and store the cables for more than 24 hours before
installation.
l Handle the cables gently, especially in a low-temperature environment. Do not perform
any improper operations, for example, pushing the cables down directly from a truck.
High Temperature
WARNING
If the ambient temperature exceeds 55°C, the temperature of the front panel surface marked the
flag may exceed 70°C. When touching the front panel of the board in such an environment,
you must wear the protection gloves.

NOTE
In the following instructions for both types of commissioning methods, site commissioning and system
commissioning are defined as follows:
l Site commissioning refers to the commissioning of one microwave link hop and the sites at both ends of the
hop. Site commissioning is carried out with commissioning tools connected to the NE at a single site.
l System commissioning refers to the commissioning and configuring of all NEs on a network. System
commissioning is carried out with commissioning tools connected to a gateway NE.
Single-Hop Commissioning
Single-hop commissioning is preferred for small-scale microwave transmission networks (for
example, a network with only one or two microwave link hops). By performing single-hop
commissioning, you can complete all site and system commissioning tasks at one time. The
major steps are outlined as follows:
Network Commissioning
Network commissioning is usually carried out for large-scale microwave transmission networks.
The major steps are outlined as follows:

Site commissioning using a USB flash drive is highly efficient. Prior to site commissioning using
this method, ensure that configuration data stored in the USB flash drive is correct.
The commissioning process is as follows:
4.1 Powering On OptiX RTN 380
Power can be supplied to the OptiX RTN 380 in three modes. You can verify whether the
hardware system and power system are functional by observing the equipment power-on process.
4.2 Loading Commissioning Data Using a USB Flash Drive
While commissioning data is being loaded to an NE using a USB flash drive, NE software is
also upgraded simultaneously.
4.3 Connecting the Web LCT to the Equipment
Properly connecting the Web LCT to the equipment is a prerequisite for configuring
commissioning data for the equipment.
4.4 Creating NEs Using the Search Method
The search method is generally used to create an NE during site commissioning.
4.5 Synchronizing NE Time
Adjust the NE time so that it is synchronized with the time on the Web LCT. This ensures that
the NE accurately records the time when an alarm, a performance event, or an abnormal event
occurs.
4.6 Checking Alarms
Checking alarms generated by equipment helps you to determine whether the equipment is
functioning properly.
4.7 Aligning Antennas
Antenna alignment is the most important activity in site commissioning, as antenna alignment
has a direct effect on microwave link performance.
4.8 Checking the Microwave Link Status and Receive Power
After antenna alignment, check whether the status of a microwave link is normal and whether
the receive power meets requirements.

Definition
The electric field strength of the radiated power of an antenna varies in space. The differences
of the power distribution can be shown in an azimuth diagram. Generally, there are two azimuth
diagrams illustrating the horizontal and vertical sections. These are the horizontal azimuth
diagram and vertical azimuth diagram. Figure 4-2 is a vertical azimuth diagram showing many
lobes. The lobe with the strongest radiated power is the main lobe, while the others are side
lobes. The first side lobe can be used for aligning the antenna.
Main lobe
First side lobe
Second side lobe
The main lobe width of a microwave antenna is narrow, specifically, between 0.6° and 3.7°. For
instance, in the case of a 1.2 m antenna at a working frequency of 23 GHz, the azimuth is only
0.9° when the signal level drops from the signal peak to zero. Once a signal is detected, very
small alignment adjustments are required to locate the main lobe.
Antenna movement across the main lobe results in a rapid rise and drop in the signal level.
Whether the main lobe is aligned properly can be verified by comparing the received signal
peaks. Typically, the main lobe signal peak is 20-25 dB higher than the first side lobe signal
peak.
Figure 4-3 shows the head-on view of a free-space model for radio propagation with concentric
rings of side lobe peaks and troughs radiating outward from the main lobe.
90o

Tracking Path
Side lobe signal readings are sometimes mistaken for main lobe readings when signals are
tracked on different elevations (or azimuths). Figure 4-4 shows a horizontal radio propagation
model of an antenna, and signal levels at three different elevation positions (1-7 represent the
measured signal level values of the received signal strength indicator [RSSI] port of the OptiX
RTN 380).

l Line AA' indicates that the main lobe of the antenna is almost aligned properly. The main
lobe is at point 2, and the first side lobes are at points 1 and 3. Slightly adjust the azimuth
of the antenna at point 2 until the peak signal appears.
l Line BB' indicates that the elevation of the antenna slightly deviates from the main lobe.
The signal peaks appear at points 4 and 5. The signal peak at point 4 is higher than the
signal peak at point 5 because of the antenna characteristics. As a result, point 4 may be
mistaken for the peak point of the main lobe signal. The correct method is to set the azimuth
of the antenna to the middle position between the two signal peaks. Then, adjust the
elevation of the antenna until the three signal peaks of line AA' appear. Slightly adjust the
elevation and azimuth of the antenna at point 2 until the peak signal appears.
l Line CC' indicates that the elevation of the antenna completely deviates from the main lobe
and is almost aligned with the first side lobe. The signal peak of the first side lobe at point
6 and the signal peak of the first side lobe at point 7 appear as one signal peak. As a result,
points 6 and 7 may be mistaken for the peak point of the main lobe signal. The correct
method is to set the azimuth of the antenna to the middle of points 6 and 7. Then, adjust
the elevation of the antenna until the three signal peaks of line AA' appear. Slightly adjust
the elevation and azimuth of the antenna at point 2 until the peak signal appears.
When the side lobe peak on one side is higher than the side lobe peak at the other side, as shown
in Figure 4-5, a common error is moving the antenna from left to right along line DD', or top
to bottom along line EE'. As a result, point 1 may be mistaken for the peak point of the main
lobe signal. The correct method is to adjust the elevation in the middle of points 1 and 2 or the
azimuth in the middle of points 1 and 3. Several adjustments are required to ensure that the three
signal peaks of line AA' can appear. Slightly adjust the elevation and azimuth of the antenna at
point 2 as shown in Figure 4-4 until the peak signal appears.

Prerequisites
l The preceding site commissioning items have been completed at both ends of a microwave
link.
l The weather conditions at both ends are suitable for outdoor operations, and there is no
threat of rain, snow, fog or other unfavorable conditions that could interfere with the
procedure.
l Onsite conditions meet the requirements for antennas to work at their given heights, and
the commissioning personnel are trained to work at these heights.
l A properly calibrated multimeter is available.
l The automatic transmit power control (ATPC) function has been disabled (this function is
disabled by default).
l The adaptive modulation (AM) function has been disabled (this function is disabled by
default).
CAUTION
You can change the azimuth and elevation of the antennas by adjusting the nuts or screws. For
details, see the antenna installation guide. Steps provided in this section are for reference only.
Procedure
Step 1 Calculate the voltage value (VBNC) for the RSSI port corresponding to the planned received
signal level (RSL) based on the RSSI and RSL curves.
NOTE
The curve diagram for VBNC and RSL is delivered along with the OptiX RTN 380.
Step 2 Determine the azimuth of the antenna at the local end based on the installation position and
height of the antenna. Then, adjust the elevation of the antenna to the horizontal position.
NOTE
For a special microwave link (for example, a microwave link with one end on a mountain top and the other end
at the foot of the mountain), the inclination between the link and the horizontal line is greater than the half-power
angle of the antenna. Slightly adjust the elevation of the antenna so the main lobes are aligned vertically.
Step 3 Connect a multimeter to the RSSI port on the OptiX RTN 380 at the local end using an RSSI
test fiber and test the voltage value VBNC. Turn the multimeter to the DC power level with the
voltage value 20 V.
TIP
It is recommended that you fix the multimeter to the tower with adhesive tape at your plain view, so that
you can observe the RSSI voltage value while aligning antennas.

CAUTION
If the number of tracked signal peaks is fewer than three, even after a wide rotation and
careful observation of the multimeter, refer to 4.7.1 Main Lobe and Side Lobes for help
with handling the exception.
4. Adjust the antenna azimuth until the signal strength reaches position 2 shown in Figure
4-7. When the signal strength is at position 2, the value of VBNC is the peak value.
5. Slightly adjust the elevation and azimuth at point 2 until VBNC reaches the peak value within
the tracked range.
6. Secure the antenna at the local end.
NOTE
When securing the antenna, ensure that VBNC remains at the peak value.
Step 5 Repeat Step 2 to Step 4 to adjust the antenna at the remote end. When VBNC reaches the peak
value, secure the antenna at the remote end.
Step 6 Repeat Step 2 to Step 4 for two to four times. When VBNC at the local end and VBNC at the
remote end reach the peak value, secure the antennas at both ends.

Definition
The electric field strength of the radiated power of an antenna varies in space. The differences
of the power distribution can be shown in an azimuth diagram. Generally, there are two azimuth
diagrams illustrating the horizontal and vertical sections. These are the horizontal azimuth
diagram and vertical azimuth diagram. Figure 5-2 is a vertical azimuth diagram showing many
lobes. The lobe with the strongest radiated power is the main lobe, while the others are side
lobes. The first side lobe can be used for aligning the antenna.
Main lobe
First side lobe
Second side lobe
The main lobe width of a microwave antenna is narrow, specifically, between 0.6° and 3.7°. For
instance, in the case of a 1.2 m antenna at a working frequency of 23 GHz, the azimuth is only
0.9° when the signal level drops from the signal peak to zero. Once a signal is detected, very
small alignment adjustments are required to locate the main lobe.
Antenna movement across the main lobe results in a rapid rise and drop in the signal level.
Whether the main lobe is aligned properly can be verified by comparing the received signal
peaks. Typically, the main lobe signal peak is 20-25 dB higher than the first side lobe signal
peak.
Figure 5-3 shows the head-on view of a free-space model for radio propagation with concentric
rings of side lobe peaks and troughs radiating outward from the main lobe.
90o
0o
Tracking Path
Side lobe signal readings are sometimes mistaken for main lobe readings when signals are
tracked on different elevations (or azimuths). Figure 5-4 shows a horizontal radio propagation
model of an antenna, and signal levels at three different elevation positions (1-7 represent the
measured signal level values of the received signal strength indicator [RSSI] port of the OptiX
RTN 380).

l Line AA' indicates that the main lobe of the antenna is almost aligned properly. The main
lobe is at point 2, and the first side lobes are at points 1 and 3. Slightly adjust the azimuth
of the antenna at point 2 until the peak signal appears.
l Line BB' indicates that the elevation of the antenna slightly deviates from the main lobe.
The signal peaks appear at points 4 and 5. The signal peak at point 4 is higher than the
signal peak at point 5 because of the antenna characteristics. As a result, point 4 may be
mistaken for the peak point of the main lobe signal. The correct method is to set the azimuth
of the antenna to the middle position between the two signal peaks. Then, adjust the
elevation of the antenna until the three signal peaks of line AA' appear. Slightly adjust the
elevation and azimuth of the antenna at point 2 until the peak signal appears.
l Line CC' indicates that the elevation of the antenna completely deviates from the main lobe
and is almost aligned with the first side lobe. The signal peak of the first side lobe at point
6 and the signal peak of the first side lobe at point 7 appear as one signal peak. As a result,
points 6 and 7 may be mistaken for the peak point of the main lobe signal. The correct
method is to set the azimuth of the antenna to the middle of points 6 and 7. Then, adjust
the elevation of the antenna until the three signal peaks of line AA' appear. Slightly adjust
the elevation and azimuth of the antenna at point 2 until the peak signal appears.
When the side lobe peak on one side is higher than the side lobe peak at the other side, as shown
in Figure 5-5, a common error is moving the antenna from left to right along line DD', or top
to bottom along line EE'. As a result, point 1 may be mistaken for the peak point of the main
lobe signal. The correct method is to adjust the elevation in the middle of points 1 and 2 or the
azimuth in the middle of points 1 and 3. Several adjustments are required to ensure that the three
signal peaks of line AA' can appear. Slightly adjust the elevation and azimuth of the antenna at
point 2 as shown in Figure 5-4 until the peak signal appears.

Prerequisites
l The preceding site commissioning items have been completed at both ends of a microwave
link.
l The weather conditions at both ends are suitable for outdoor operations, and there is no
threat of rain, snow, fog or other unfavorable conditions that could interfere with the
procedure.
l Onsite conditions meet the requirements for antennas to work at their given heights, and
the commissioning personnel are trained to work at these heights.
l A properly calibrated multimeter is available.
l The automatic transmit power control (ATPC) function has been disabled (this function is
disabled by default).
l The adaptive modulation (AM) function has been disabled (this function is disabled by
default).
CAUTION
You can change the azimuth and elevation of the antennas by adjusting the nuts or screws. For
details, see the antenna installation guide. Steps provided in this section are for reference only.
Procedure
Step 1 Calculate the voltage value (VBNC) for the RSSI port corresponding to the planned received
signal level (RSL) based on the RSSI and RSL curves.
NOTE
The curve diagram for VBNC and RSL is delivered along with the OptiX RTN 380.
Step 2 Determine the azimuth of the antenna at the local end based on the installation position and
height of the antenna. Then, adjust the elevation of the antenna to the horizontal position.
NOTE
For a special microwave link (for example, a microwave link with one end on a mountain top and the other end
at the foot of the mountain), the inclination between the link and the horizontal line is greater than the half-power
angle of the antenna. Slightly adjust the elevation of the antenna so the main lobes are aligned vertically.
Step 3 Connect a multimeter to the RSSI port on the OptiX RTN 380 at the local end using an RSSI
test fiber and test the voltage value VBNC. Turn the multimeter to the DC power level with the
voltage value 20 V.
TIP
It is recommended that you fix the multimeter to the tower with adhesive tape at your plain view, so that
you can observe the RSSI voltage value while aligning antennas.

CAUTION
If the number of tracked signal peaks is fewer than three, even after a wide rotation and
careful observation of the multimeter, refer to 4.7.1 Main Lobe and Side Lobes for help
with handling the exception.
4. Adjust the antenna azimuth until the signal strength reaches position 2 shown in Figure
5-7. When the signal strength is at position 2, the value of VBNC is the peak value.
5. Slightly adjust the elevation and azimuth at point 2 until VBNC reaches the peak value within
the tracked range.
6. Secure the antenna at the local end.
NOTE
When securing the antenna, ensure that VBNC remains at the peak value.
Step 5 Repeat Step 2 to Step 4 to adjust the antenna at the remote end. When VBNC reaches the peak
value, secure the antenna at the remote end.
Step 6 Repeat Step 2 to Step 4 for two to four times. When VBNC at the local end and VBNC at the
remote end reach the peak value, secure the antennas at both ends.

Procedure
Step 1 Configure the TAG attributes for the test ports.
Step 3 Configure a source NE for the test and initiate the test.
NOTE
l The test results may deviate from the actual values, as compared with the results of a test performed using
a meter. When the bandwidth of tested services is less than 70 Mbit/s, the deviation of the packet loss ratio
is less than 1%. When the bandwidth of tested services is higher than or equal to 70 Mbit/s, the deviation of
the packet loss ratio is less than 0.2%. If the packet loss ratio is not 0 and its deviation is within these ranges,
perform the test multiple times. If the results of the multiple tests show that a few packets are lost and the

7.1 When a USB Flash Drive Is Used for Loading Commissioning Data, Some Commands Fail
to Be Loaded
This section describes how to handle a command loading failure that occurs when a USB flash
drive is used for loading commissioning data.
7.2 The Receive Power Does not Meet the Design Requirements
This section describes how to handle the fault of receive power failing to meet the design
requirements.
Fault Symptom
When a USB flash drive is used for loading commissioning data, the indicator on the USB flash
drive is steady red after the loading is complete.
Cause Analysis
Steady red indicates that some commands fail to be loaded. You can locate these commands in
NE operation logs.
Procedure
Step 1 Browse NE operation logs. For details, see A.4.5 Querying NE Operation Logs.
Step 2 Record Operation Object in the logs with Result being Operation Failed, and send the
recorded information to the engineers responsible for generating data scripts.
NOTE
If commissioning engineers are able to configure NE data on the Web LCT, they can re-configure data related
to the failed commands based on the logs using the Web LCT.
Step 3 After correct scripts are generated, arrange personnel to load the commissioning data using a
USB flash drive. For details, see 4.2 Loading Commissioning Data Using a USB Flash
Drive.
----End
Fault Symptom
No hardware alarm is reported on an NE. However, the receive power is at least 3 dB less than
the designed receive power, and the microwave link reports an MW_LOF alarm.
Cause Analysis
No hardware alarm is reported, so the equipment is running normally. Diagnose the fault from
the following aspects:
l NE configurations
Procedure
Step 1 Check NE configurations by browsing the configuration data of the microwave link according
to A.5.1 Configuring a Single Hop of Microwave Link.
l Verify that the actual transmit and receive frequencies at both ends of the link match and
meet the network plan requirements.
l Verify that the channel bandwidths and modulation schemes at both ends of the link are the
same and meet the network plan requirements.
l Verify that the transmit power at both ends of the link meets the network plan requirements.
l Verify that the adaptive modulation (AM) and automatic transmit power control (ATPC)
functions are disabled during antenna alignment.
Step 2 Check the link transmission conditions and network plan.
l Verify that antennas are aligned under favorable weather conditions, free from the impact of
rainfall, snow, or fog.
l Verify the line of sight (LOS) on the microwave link based on a map and observation.
l Verify that the antenna positions and directions meet the network plan requirements by using
a compass.
l Verify that the height difference between the antennas is within the adjustment range and
that the network design parameters are correct by consulting network planning engineers.
Step 3 Check hardware installation and antenna alignment.
l Verify that the polarization directions of the antennas meet the network plan requirements.
When an OptiX RTN 380 or hybrid coupler is being installed, the polarization directions of
feed ports are the same.
l Verify that the main lobes of the antennas are aligned.

Networking Diagram in Feature Description for details.
8.4.1.1 DCN
To manage and maintain an NE, the U2000 needs to communicate with the NE through the data
communication network (DCN).
On a DCN, the U2000 and all the NEs are considered as nodes. The DCN between the U2000
and all the NEs is considered as the external DCN, and the DCN between the NEs is considered
as the internal DCN. OptiX RTN 380 supports the HWECC, IP DCN, and L2 DCN solutions.
By default, the IP DCN solution is used.
IP DCN is a DCN solution provided by Huawei. In this solution, network management system
(NMS) messages are encapsulated in the standard IP protocol stack and transmitted over DCN
channels between NEs so that the NMS can manage these NEs.
Figure 8-6 shows how NMS messages are transmitted using the IP DCN solution.

NOTE
l An OptiX RTN 380 can connect to a Web LCT through its GE port only if its GE port functions as an
electrical port.
l A VLAN ID can be added to and stripped from DCN packets only after you install a drive and specify
the VLAN ID on the computer on which the Web LCT is installed.
GNE
Generally, a GNE is connected to the NMS through a local area network (LAN) or through a
wide area network (WAN). Its application layer can directly communicate with the NMS
application layer. One set of NMS needs to be connected to one or more GNEs.
Embedded control channel (ECC) communication between the GNEs may create an oversized
data communication network (DCN). To prevent this, disable extended ECC for the GNEs.
Non-GNE
A non-GNE communicates with the GNE through the DCN channels between NEs.
NE ID
At the application layer of each DCN solution, an OptiX NE uses its NE ID as the NE address.
Therefore, each NE must have a unique NE ID on the DCN and all the NE IDs must be planned
in a unified manner.
The NE ID has 24 bits. The most significant eight bits represent the subnet ID (or the extended
ID) and the least significant 16 bits represent the basic ID. For example, if an NE ID is 0x090001,
the subnet ID is 9 and the basic ID is 1.
NE IP Address
An NE uses an IP address as its unique identifier during TCP/IP communication.
In the HWECC solution, the IP addresses of the NEs on the DCN are used in the following
scenarios:
l A gateway NE (GNE) communicates with the U2000 over TCP/IP. The IP address of the
GNE must be planned as required by the external DCN.
l Different NEs communicate with each other over extended embedded control channels
(ECCs). In this scenario, NE IP addresses must be on the same network segment. By default,
NE IP addresses are on the 129.9.0.0 network segment.
In the DCN solution (for example, IP DCN) where network management messages are
transmitted over TCP/IP, an NE IP address is used as the NE address at the network layer.
Therefore, each NE IP address on the DCN must be unique and all these NE IP addresses must
be planned in a unified manner.
By default (which indicates that an NE IP address is never manually changed), this NE IP address
is automatically changed to 0x81000000 + ID if the NE ID is changed. For example, if an NE
IP address is never manually changed, this NE IP address is automatically changed to 129.9.0.1
when the NE ID is changed to 0x090001. Once an NE IP address is manually changed, the
interlocking relationship between the NE ID and NE IP address no longer takes effect.
l Ethernet fibers/cables
Ethernet fibers/cables refer to the Ethernet fiber/cable connections between Ethernet
optical/electrical ports on different sets of equipment.
l Microwave links
Microwave links refer to the radio connections between different sets of radio equipment.
That is, the microwave links indicate the connection relationship between different IF ports.
l Extended ECC cables
Extended ECC cables refer to the extended ECC channels between the NEs. That is, the
extended ECC cables indicate the connection relationship between the NEs.
l Back-to-back radio connections
Back-to-back radio connections refer to the NE cascading relationship. That is, the back-
to-back radio connections indicate the connection relationship between the NEs.
NOTE
Fibers and cables are topological objects on the U2000. Therefore, operations on the fibers or cables do not
affect the normal running of the NEs.
8.4.1.6 Subnet
NEs in the same domain or with similar attributes can be allocated to the same subnet. In this
manner, they can be displayed and managed as a whole on the U2000, which facilitates NE
management.
Subnets are topological objects on the U2000, but do not physically exist on networks. Therefore,
operations on subnets do not affect the normal running of NEs. Subnets simplify the main
topology on the U2000.

AM
When AM technology is enabled and the same channel spacing is used, the radio service
bandwidth varies according to the modulation scheme. The higher the modulation efficiency,
the higher the bandwidth of the transmitted services. With quality of service (QoS) technology,
packet services are groomed to queues with different priorities. Services in different queues are
then transmitted to the microwave port after the queue-scheduling algorithm has been run. Under
all channel conditions, the service capacity varies according to the modulation scheme.
l When conditions for channel quality are favorable good (such as on sunny days), the
equipment uses a higher-order modulation scheme to transmit more user services. This
improves transmission efficiency and spectrum utilization of the system.
l When conditions for channel quality are unfavorable (such as on stormy or foggy days),
the equipment uses a lower-order modulation scheme to ensure that higher-priority services
are transmitted first. If some lower-priority queues become congested due to a lack of
available bandwidth, some or all interfaces in these queues are discarded. This method
improves the anti-interference capabilities of a microwave link and ensures link availability
for high-priority services.
Figure 8-14 shows step-by-step AM shifting caused by weather changes and the impact of the
shifting on service throughput and reliability.

The AM technology used by the OptiX RTN 380 has the following features:
l Uses QPSK Strong, QPSK, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM modulation schemes. Compared
with QPSK, QPSK Strong, using different parameters in forward error correction (FEC)
coding, has stronger error correction capability, and therefore has better receiver sensitivity.
It has, however, less air interface bandwidth.
l Can configure both the lowest-order modulation scheme (also called reference scheme or
modulation scheme of guaranteed AM capacity) and the highest-order modulation scheme
(also called nominal scheme or modulation scheme of full AM capacity).
l Can switch modulation schemes without changing the transmit frequency, receive
frequency, or channel spacing.
l Switches modulation schemes step-by-step.
l Features hitless shifting. When the modulation scheme is downshifted, low-priority
services are discarded while high-priority services are not affected. Shifting is successful
even when 100 dB/s channel fading occurs.
AMAC
AMAC is the enhancement of AM. If the lowest-order modulation scheme is set to QPSK Strong,
the AM function downshifts the modulation scheme to QPSK Strong when channel quality
deteriorates. Then, the AC function downshifts the channel spacing. The equipment uses the
available bandwidth to transmit high-priority services, reducing the impact of channel quality
deterioration on service signals.

caused by weather changes and the impact of the shifting on service throughput and reliability.

8.5.1.3 E-LAG
When switching occurs on the NEs in a 1+1 HSB, an enhanced link aggregation group (E-LAG)
is required to implement switching for active and standby GE access links (HSB is short for hot
standby).
Introduction
E-LAG is a mechanism that implements multi-chassis link aggregation using the Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). It enhances Ethernet link reliability from the port level
to the equipment level.
As shown in Figure 8-21, two OptiX RTN 380s form a 1+1 HSB. A static link aggregation
group (LAG) that has only the master port is configured on each of the OptiX RTN 380s. The
master and slave OptiX RTN 380s exchange 1+1 HSB protection protocol packets so that the
LAGs on them form a multi-chassis E-LAG. A static, non-load sharing, and non-revertive LAG
must be configured on the IDU (or UNI equipment) connected to the OptiX RTN 380s. This
LAG works with the 1+1 HSB to implement switching for the active and standby GE access
links.

When switching occurs on NE 1 and NE 2, they exchange the LAG system priorities, and
the 1+1 HSB protection protocol sets the highest LAG system priority on NE 2. According
to the LACP renegotiation results, the link between NE 1 and the IDU is in the Unselected
state, and the link between NE 2 and the IDU is in the Selected state. As a result, the IDU
transmits services only to NE 2.

8.6.1.1 Auto-negotiation
The auto-negotiation function allows network equipment to send information about its supported
working mode to the opposite end and to receive corresponding information back.
Table 8-30 Auto-negotiation rules for GE electrical ports (when the local GE electrical port
works in auto-negotiation mode)
NOTE
As provided in Table 8-30, when the opposite GE electrical port works in 10M full-duplex or 100M full-duplex
mode, auto-negotiation does not necessarily achieve full matching between the two ends. As a result, some
packets are lost. Therefore, when the opposite GE electrical port works in 10M full-duplex or 100M full-duplex
mode, set the working mode of the local GE electrical port to 10M full-duplex or 100M full-duplex.
When the GE electrical ports at both ends work in auto-negotiation mode, the equipment at both
ends can negotiate flow control.
therefore some packets are discarded. To reduce the number of packets to be discarded, take
appropriate flow control measures.
Half-duplex Ethernet uses a back-pressure mechanism to control flow. Full-duplex Ethernet uses
PAUSE frames to control flow. Currently, half-duplex Ethernet is not widely applied; therefore,
the flow control function is currently implemented for full-duplex Ethernet.
The flow control function on the equipment is classified into two types: auto-negotiation flow
control and non-auto-negotiation flow control.
OptiX RTN 380 supports only two auto-negotiation flow control modes: Disabled and Symmetric Pause, which
correspond to Disabled and Enable Symmetric Flow Control on the network management system (NMS)
respectively.
l Send only
The port can transmit PAUSE frames in case of congestion but cannot process received
PAUSE frames.
l Receive only
The port can process received PAUSE frames but cannot transmit PAUSE frames in case
of congestion.
l Symmetric
The port can transmit PAUSE frames and can also process received PAUSE frames.
l Disabled
The port does not transmit or process PAUSE frames.
NOTE
OptiX RTN 380 supports only two auto-negotiation flow control modes: Disabled and Symmetric Pause, which
correspond to Disabled and Enable Symmetric Flow Control on the NMS respectively.

COMBO 1-SHUF3-3 l When 1+1 HSB protection has not been configured for OptiX RTN 380,
(GE2) the COMBO port functions as an optical GE port to transmit/receive
Ethernet services.
l When 1+1 protection has been configured for OptiX RTN 380, the
COMBO port functions a cascade port in a 1+1 protection group and is
used to cascade two OptiX RTN 380s.
Blacklist entry A blacklist entry is also called a MAC disabled entry or a black hole
entry. It is configured by a network administrator. An Ethernet frame
whose source or destination MAC address is specified in a blacklist
entry is discarded. A blacklist entry will not be aged out. It is not
lost after the Ethernet processing unit is reset.
NOTE
If no new packet is received from a MAC address within a specified period of time, the corresponding
entry is automatically deleted. This mechanism is called aging and the specified period of time is called
aging time.

NOTE
l Ethernet ring protection switching (ERPS) prevents service loops on ring networks. If ERPS has already
been enabled for a ring network, do not configure a split horizon group because it may affect ERPS
functionality.
l OptiX RTN 380 allows only physical ports to be configured into a split horizon group.Therefore, the logical
ports mapped from a physical port are added to the split horizon group automatically.
ERPS
ERPS is applicable to ring physical networks and can provide protection for the Ethernet local
area network (E-LAN) services between all the ring network nodes. Generally, when a ring
network is configured with ERPS, the RPL node blocks the RPL port on one side so that all the
services are transmitted through the ports on the other side. In this manner, service loops are
prevented. When a link fails or an NE becomes faulty, the RPL node unblocks its RPL port so
that services can be switched from the faulty point to the RPL port for transmission. In this
manner, protection for the ring network is achieved.
The Ethernet ring network shown in Figure 8-31 is configured with ERPS. Normally, NE1
blocks its GE port connected to NE2 to prevent a loop. When links between NE4 and NE5 are
faulty, NE1 unblocks its GE port. Services between NE4 and NE5 are switched to the route NE4-
NE3-NE2-NE1-NE8-NE7-NE6-NE5.

LAG
Link aggregation allows multiple links that are attached to the same equipment to be aggregated
to form a link aggregation group (LAG) so that the bandwidths and availability of the links
increase. The aggregated links can be considered as a single logical link.
As shown in Figure 8-32, the LAG feature provides the following functions:
one logical link without having to upgrade existing equipment. The bandwidth of the logical
link is equal to the sum of the bandwidths of the physical links. The aggregation module
distributes traffic to different members by using a load balancing algorithm, achieving load
balancing at the link level.
l Improved link availability
The links in a LAG provide backup for one another dynamically. When a link fails, another
link in the LAG quickly takes over.

Service Model
Table 8-33 describes the transparently transmitted point-to-point E-Line service model.
Typical Application
Figure 8-33 shows the typical application of service model 1.
In model 1, Ethernet service 1 is transmitted to NE1 through port 1, regardless of whether the
Ethernet service carries an unknown VLAN ID or no VLAN ID. Port 1 transparently transmits
Ethernet service 1 to port 2. Port 2 transmits Ethernet service 1 to NE2. Service processing on
NE2 is the same as that on NE1.
In model 2, Ethernet service 1 is transmitted to NE1 through port 1, regardless of whether the
Ethernet service carries an unknown VLAN ID or no VLAN ID. Port 1 and Port 2 process the
incoming packets based on their own TAG attributes. Then, Port 2 sends Ethernet service 1 to
NE2. Service processing on NE2 is the same as that on NE1.
Service Model
Table 8-34 provides information about the VLAN-based E-Line service model.
Typical Application
Figure 8-34 shows a typical application of the VLAN-based E-Line service model. Services 1,
2, 3, and 4 from four NodeBs converge through a transmission network to a radio network
controller (RNC).
l Services 1, 2, 3, and 4 carry different VLAN IDs.
l On NE 1, services 1 and 2 are received at port 2 and port 3, respectively, and forwarded
through port 1. They share the same channel but are isolated by VLANs.
l On NE 2, services 3 and 4 are received at port 2 and port 3, respectively, and forwarded
through port 1. They share the same channel but are isolated by VLANs.
l On NE 3, services 1 and 2 are received at port 2, services 3 and 4 are received at port 3,
and all four services are forwarded through port 1. All the services share the same channel
but are isolated by VLANs.
l Ports 2 and 3 on NE 1, NE 2, and NE 3 process incoming Ethernet frames based on their
tag attributes and transmit the Ethernet frames to port 1. Port 1 processes outgoing Ethernet
frames based on its tag attribute. Because the services have different VLAN IDs, they can
share ports 1 on NE 1, NE 2, and NE 3.

Table 8-35 shows the QinQ-based E-Line service models.
Model 1 PORT (source) UNI-NNI 802.1Q (source)a The source port only receives
QinQ link (sink) the Ethernet frames that carry
QinQ (sink)
C-VLAN tags. After
receiving the Ethernet
frames, it adds the S-VLAN
tag that corresponds to the
QinQ link to the Ethernet
frames and then transmits the
Ethernet frames to the sink
port to which the QinQ link is
connected.
Model 2 PORT+C-VLAN UNI-NNI 802.1Q (source)a The source port adds the S-
(source) VLAN tag that corresponds
QinQ (sink)
QinQ link (sink) to the QinQ link to all the
Ethernet frames that carry
specific C-VLAN tags and
then transmits the Ethernet
frames to the sink port to
which the QinQ link is
connected.
NOTE
Typical Application
Figure 8-35 shows the typical application of service model 1.
Service 1 and service 2 carry different unknown C-VLAN tags. Service 1 is transmitted to NE1
through port 1, and service 2 is transmitted to NE1 through port 2. Port 1 adds an S-VLAN tag
to service 1, and port 2 adds another S-VLAN tag to service 2. Service 1 and service 2 are then
transmitted to port 3. Port 3 transmits service 1 and service 2 to NE2.
NE2 processes service 1 and service 2 in the same manner as NE1.

Services from NodeB 1 and NodeB 2 converge at NE1 and then are transmitted to the radio

l Because the VLAN ID of services 1 and 2 is different from that of services 3 and 4, IEEE
802.1Q bridges are configured: one each for NE 1, NE 2, and NE 3. The bridges are divided
into switching sub-domains by VLAN for service isolation over each bridge.

NOTE
l The three GE ports of the optical transmission equipment interconnected with the OptiX RTN 380 work in
auto-negotiation mode. Therefore, the three GE ports on the OptiX RTN 380 for receiving services need to
work in auto-negotiation mode. If the peer Ethernet ports work in 1000M full-duplex mode, the local Ethernet
ports also need to work in 1000M full-duplex mode.
l Generally, the flow control function is enabled only when an NE or the peer equipment is inadequate for
QoS processing. The plan for flow control must be the same for the equipment at both ends.

Because the transmitted service capacity exceeds the bandwidth of a single GE link, configure
a static load-sharing LAG. Configure a corresponding LAG for NE91 and NE92.

NOTE
In this example, Ethernet services are shared by member ports in the LAG. Therefore, services only need to be
configured for the main port 1-SHUF3-2(GE1) in the LAG.
DiffServ
DiffServ (DS) is the basis for QoS. It is recommended that a VLAN priority or differentiated
services code point (DSCP) value be allocated to a base station service based on the service type.
The transport network creates the corresponding DS domain according to the allocated VLAN
priority or DSCP value. All ports involved in the service must use the same DS configuration.
In this example, services from the base stations are allocated DSCP values based on service
types, and the OptiX RTN 380s allocate per-hop behaviors (PHBs) according to the DSCP
values. For details, see Table 8-94.

DiffServ
DiffServ (DS) is the basis for QoS. It is recommended that a VLAN priority or differentiated
services code point (DSCP) value be allocated to a base station service based on the service type.
The transport network creates the corresponding DS domain according to the allocated VLAN
priority or DSCP value. All ports involved in the service must use the same DS configuration.
In this example, services from the base stations are allocated DSCP values based on service
types, and the OptiX RTN 380s allocate per-hop behaviors (PHBs) according to the DSCP
values. For details, see Table 8-120.

CAR
Generally, a microwave backhaul network does not require committed access rate (CAR)
because 2G/3G base stations and BSCs/RNCs have their own traffic control policies (BSC is

Shaping
If the Ethernet bandwidth planned for the aggregation link is lower than the total bandwidth for
aggregation services, you can enable port shaping at the edge node to limit the Ethernet service
traffic sent to the convergence node. This prevents congestion at the convergence node.

SSM Protection
SSM protection enhances clock source protection based on priorities and triggers clock switching
based on the clock source quality level. Table 8-130 provides details on SSM protection.
Definition SSM protection refers to the clock protection in compliance with the SSM
protocol specified in ITU-T G.781. The SSM protocol defines the levels and
states of clock signals.
Channel The OptiX RTN 380 supports SSM protection on Ethernet links and radio
links.
l On radio links, SSM messages are transmitted through specific overhead
bytes.
l On GE ports, SSM messages are transmitted through specific protocol
control packets.
Item Description
Application The SSM protocol can be applied to a ring network with one external
scenario reference source or a chain network with two external reference sources.
When the SSM protocol is applied to a ring network, the node where the
reference clock is injected cannot select any clock sources on the ring. The
other nodes can select the east or west clock source on the ring.
When the network operates normally, the NEs on the ring select the clock source as follows:
1. NE11 selects the external clock source as the synchronous source and sends the clock
quality message "G.812" to NE12 and NE13.
2. NE12, NE13, NE21, NE22, NE31, and NE32 select the upstream clock source from their
own clock source priority lists.
3. In addition, each NE sends a Don't Use for Sync. (DUS) message to the upstream direction.
4. Although NE22 and NE31 detect usable clock sources from the radio link, they decide not
to switch clock sources because the priorities of the protection clock sources are the same
as the working clock sources.
When the microwave links between NE12 and NE21 become faulty, the NEs on the ring select
the clock source as follows:
1. NE12, NE13, NE32, and NE31 use the current clock sources.
2. NE21 loses the west clock source and finds the DUS message in the east direction.
Therefore, NE21 selects the internal clock and sends a G.812 clock quality message to the
downstream.
3. NE22 finds that the west clock source is the internal clock, inferior to the east clock source
of G.812. Therefore, NE22 selects the east clock source. In addition, NE22 sends a DUS
message to the east link and sends a G.812 clock quality message to the west link.
4. NE21 receives the G.812 clock quality message from NE22, selects the east clock source,
and sends a DUS message to the east link, after which clock switching is completed on the
ring.
NOTE
SSM protection does not provide a complete solution to the timing loop. Do not configure the clock sources that
may form a loop. For example, you should not add the west and east clock sources to the clock source priority
list on NE11.

Channel Extended SSM protection is always applied with SSM protection. The OptiX
RTN 380 supports extended SSM protection and SSM protection on Ethernet
and microwave links.
l On microwave links, SSM messages and extended SSM messages are
transmitted through specific overhead bytes.
l On GE ports, SSM messages and extended SSM messages are
transmitted through specific protocol control packets.
Function Extended SSM messages prevent timing loops because clock devices can
determine whether clock references come from their own input.

NOTE
l The extended SSM protection provides a complete solution to the timing loop. Therefore, when you
configure clock sources, the clocks can form a loop.
l The extended SSM protection is advantageous in the complex networking of clock protection, for example,
the dual external clocks. Hence, the extended SSM protection is used in only a few cases.
l If an Ethernet clock source is input into the master (source) node, configure this clock
source for this node.
l For the other nodes, configure the clock sources from their upper-level microwave links.
l If a node has multiple upper-level microwave links , configure one radio clock source for
each microwave link and allocate priorities to these radio clock sources based on the
microwave link status.
l Do not configure synchronization status message (SSM) or extended SSM protection.
Figure 8-62 shows the clock synchronization policy for a chain network.
l An Ethernet clock source is input into the master node NE1. The clock source priorities for
NE1 in descending order are: GE1 (the Ethernet clock source) > internal clock source.
l NE2 is the downstream NE of NE1. Therefore, the clock source priorities for NE2 in
descending order are: IF > internal clock source.
l NE3 and NE2 are cascaded. Therefore, the clock source priorities for NE3 in descending
order are: GE2 > internal clock source.
l NE4 is the downstream NE of NE3. Therefore, the clock source priorities for NE4 in
descending order are: IF > internal clock source.
l Do not configure SSM or extended SSM protection.

The number of NEs on a long clock chain must not be more than 20. A number less than 10 is
recommended. If a large number of NEs exist on a long clock chain, add one more clock source
for signal compensation in the middle of the chain.
If the base station is connected to the network through Ethernet ports, timing reference signals
are transmitted to the base station through the Ethernet ports.
If the base station is connected to the network through Ethernet ports only and does not support
the synchronous Ethernet function, you can provide timing reference signals to the base station
through an external clock port. OptiX RTN 380 does not support external clock ports.

Precautions
l If a port is capable of responding to loopbacks, it enters the loopback responding state and
reports a loopback responding alarm after receiving the command of enabling the remote
loopback function sent from the peer OAM port. The equipment that initiates the loopback
enters the loopback initiation state and reports a loopback initiation alarm.
l Generally, after the remote loopback function is enabled, service packets, except for
OAMPDU packets and data communication network (DCN) packets, are looped back at
the peer end.
l After using the remote loopback function to locate a fault and test link performance, you
must disable the remote loopback function at the end where the loopback is initiated, and
then restore services. The alarm is automatically cleared.

Address Resolution An Internet Protocol used to map IP addresses to MAC addresses. It allows hosts and
Protocol (ARP) routers to determine the link layer addresses through ARP requests and ARP responses.
access control list A list of entities, together with their access rights, which are authorized to have access
(ACL) to a resource.
adaptive modulation A technology that is used to automatically adjust the modulation mode according to the
(AM) channel quality. When the channel quality is favorable, the equipment uses a high-
efficiency modulation mode to improve the transmission efficiency and the spectrum
utilization of the system. When the channel quality is degraded, the equipment uses the
low-efficiency modulation mode to improve the anti-interference capability of the link
that carries high-priority services.
adjacent channel A channel configuration method, which uses two adjacent channels (a horizontal
alternate polarization polarization wave and a vertical polarization wave) to transmit two signals.
(ACAP)
air interface The interface between the cellular phone set or wireless modem (usually portable or
mobile) and the active base station.
alarm suppression An alarm management method. Alarms that are set to be suppressed are not reported
from NEs any more.

(ABR) area.
assured forwarding One of the four per-hop behaviors (PHB) defined by the Diff-Serv workgroup of IETF.
(AF) It is suitable for certain key data services that require assured bandwidth and short delay.
For traffic within the bandwidth limit, AF assures quality in forwarding. For traffic that
exceeds the bandwidth limit, AF degrades the service class and continues to forward the
traffic instead of discarding the packets.

the match condition for the black list is much simpler. Therefore, the black list can filter
packets at a higher speed and can effectively screen the packet sent from the specific IP
address.

(MAC) data link layer in the OSI model and is mainly responsible for controlling and connecting
the physical media at the physical layer. When transmitting data, the MAC protocol
checks whether to be able to transmit data. If the data can be transmitted, certain control
information is added to the data, and then the data and the control information are
transmitted in a specified format to the physical layer. When receiving data, the MAC
protocol checks whether the information is correct and whether the data is transmitted
correctly. If the information is correct and the data is transmitted correctly, the control
information is removed from the data and then the data is transmitted to the LLC layer.
Multiple Spanning A protocol that can be used in a loop network. Using an algorithm, the MSTP blocks
Tree Protocol (MSTP) redundant paths so that the loop network can be trimmed as a tree network. In this case,
the proliferation and endless cycling of packets is avoided in the loop network. The
protocol that introduces the mapping between VLANs and multiple spanning trees. This
solves the problem that data cannot be normally forwarded in a VLAN because in STP/
RSTP, only one spanning tree corresponds to all the VLANs.
Multiprotocol Label A technology that uses short tags of fixed length to encapsulate packets in different link
Switching (MPLS) layers, and provides connection-oriented switching for the network layer on the basis of
IP routing and control protocols. It improves the cost performance and expandability of

traffic shaping A way of controlling the network traffic from a computer to optimize or guarantee the
performance and minimize the delay. It actively adjusts the output speed of traffic in the
scenario that the traffic matches network resources provided by the lower layer devices,
avoiding packet loss and congestion.
U
UAS unavailable second
UAT See unavailable time event.
UDP See User Datagram Protocol.
UNI See user-to-network interface.
User Datagram A TCP/IP standard protocol that allows an application program on one device to send a
Protocol (UDP) datagram to an application program on another. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) uses IP
to deliver datagram. UDP provides application programs with the unreliable
connectionless packet delivery service. There is a possibility that UDP messages will be
lost, duplicated, delayed, or delivered out of order. The destination device does not
confirm whether a data packet is received.
unavailable time event An event that is reported when the monitored object generates 10 consecutive severely
(UAT) errored seconds (SES) and the SESs begin to be included in the unavailable time. The
event will end when the bit error ratio per second is better than 10-3 within 10 consecutive
seconds.
unicast The process of sending data from a source to a single recipient.
user-to-network The interface between user equipment and private or public network equipment (for
interface (UNI) example, ATM switches).
V
VB virtual bridge
VLAN virtual local area network
VM virtual memory
W
WAN See wide area network.
WEEE waste electrical and electronic equipment
WRED See weighted random early detection.
WRR weighted round robin
WTR See wait to restore.
Web LCT The local maintenance terminal of a transport network, which is located at the NE
management layer of the transport network.
wait to restore (WTR) The number of minutes to wait before services are switched back to the working line.
weighted random early A packet loss algorithm used for congestion avoidance. It can prevent the global TCP
detection (WRED) synchronization caused by traditional tail-drop. WRED is favorable for the high-priority
packet when calculating the packet loss ratio.
wide area network A network composed of computers which are far away from each other which are
(WAN) physically connected through specific protocols. WAN covers a broad area, such as a
province, a state or even a country.
window General method for speech preprocessing, like Haming window.
