1 Safety Precautions

Forbidden Area
The following requirements should be met:
l

The site of the antenna should be far away from the area where the electromagnetic radiation
is beyond the specified range and the public cannot reach.

Before entering the area where the electromagnetic radiation is beyond the specified range,
the operator should learn about the area and shut down the electromagnetic radiator. The
area where the electromagnetic radiation is beyond the specified range, if any, should be
within 10 meters away from the antenna.

A physical barrier and an eye-catching warning flag should be available in each forbidden
area.

Laser

CAUTION
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet directly
with unaided eyes.
Laser transceivers are used in the optical transmission system and associated test tools. Because
the laser transmitted through the bare optical fiber produces a small beam of light, it has the very
high power density and is invisible to human eyes. When a beam of light enters the eyes, the
retina may be damaged.
In normal cases, viewing an un-terminated fiber or a damaged fiber with the unaided eye at
distances 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 the bare fiber
end.
To avoid laser radiation, read the following guidelines:
l

All the operations should be performed by authorized personnel who have completed the
approved training courses.

Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or fibers.

Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber connectors.

Do not look into the end of an exposed fiber or an open connector when you are not sure
whether the optical source is switched off.

Use an optical power meter to check and ensure that the optical source is switched off by
measuring the optical power.

Before opening the front door of an optical transmission equipment, ensure that you are
not exposed to laser radiation.

Do not use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass, or an eye loupe to
view the optical connector or fiber that is transmitting optical signals.

Read the following instructions before handling fibers:

l

1 Safety Precautions

Before cutting or splicing a fiber, ensure that the fiber is disconnected from the optical
source. After disconnecting the fiber, connect the cover caps to the fiber connectors.

1.5 Working at Heights

CAUTION
When working at heights, be cautious to prevent objects from falling down.
The requirements for working at heights are as follows:
l

The personnel who work at heights must be trained.

The operating machines and tools should be carried and handled safely to prevent them
from falling down.

Safety measures, such as wearing a helmet and a safety belt, should be taken.

Wear cold-proof clothes when working at heights in cold areas.

Check all lifting appliances thoroughly before starting the work, and ensure that they are
intact.

Weight Lifting

CAUTION
Do not enter the areas under the jib arm and the goods in suspension when lifting weight.
l

Ensure that the operators have completed the related training and have been certified.

Check the weight lifting tools and ensure that they are intact.

Lift the weight only when the weight lifting tools are firmly fixed onto the weight-bearing
object or the wall.

Use a concise command to prevent any incorrect operation.

Ensure that the angle between the two cables is less than or equal to 90 degrees during the

1.6 Mechanical Safety

Drilling Holes

CAUTION
Do not drill holes on the cabinet without prior permission. Improper drilling may cause damage
to the internal cables and the EMC function of the cabinet. Metallic scraps produced by the
drilling may fall into the cabinet and cause short circuits of the circuit boards.
l

Before drilling a hole on the cabinet, remove the cables inside the cabinet.

During the drilling, ensure that your eyes are protected properly. The flying metallic scraps
may cause injury to your eyes.

Before drilling a hole on the cabinet, wear the protection gloves.

Take measures to prevent the metallic scraps from falling into the cabinet. After the drilling,
clean up the metallic scraps.

Sharp Objects

CAUTION
When handling the equipment by hands, wear the protection gloves to avoid injury by sharp
objects.

CAUTION
l

When handling heavy objects, ensure that the weight bearing measures are taken to prevent
you from being pressed or sprained.

When taking the chassis out from the cabinet, draw attention to the equipment that is unstable
or heavy on the cabinet, to prevent any pressing or smashing injury.

When handling a chassis, generally, two persons rather than one person are required to
handle a heavy chassis. When handling a chassis, keep your back straight and move gently
to prevent you from being sprained.

When moving or lifting a chassis, hold the handle or bottom of the chassis rather than the
handle of a module (such as a power supply module, a fan module, or a board) that has
been installed inside the chassis.

1.7 Other Precautions

Removing and Inserting Boards

CAUTION
When inserting a board, wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves, and handle the board gently to
avoid bending pins on the backplane.
l

Insert the board along the guiding slot.

The contact of board circuits is not allowed to avoid short circuits or scratches.

Do not touch the circuit, components, connectors, or routing channels of the board to
prevent damage caused by electrostatic discharge of the human body to the electrostaticsensitive components.

Binding Signal Cables

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 external
plastic coatings of the cables. The following requirements should be observed to ensure safe
implementation:
l

Issue 04 (2010-04-20)

If the difference between A and B is less than 1 dB, it indicates that the fiber jumper is
correctly connected and the attenuation of the fiber jumper is within the normal range.

If the difference between A and B is more than 1 dB, check and ensure that the fiber jumper
is in good condition and is correctly routed. Then, check and ensure that the fiber jumper
terminal is clean.

CAUTION
If the fiber jumper is connected through a flange, the difference between A and B should be less
than 2 dB. Otherwise, you can infer that the fiber jumper is incorrectly connected or the
attenuation of the fiber jumper is not within the normal range. Check and ensure that the fiber
jumper is in good condition and is correctly routed. Then, check and ensure that the fiber jumper
terminal is clean.
Step 8 Check the fiber jumper that is connected to the RX port in the same manner.

4.4 Aligning the Antennas

Aligning the antennas is the most important activity in HOP commissioning, and its result has
a direct effect on the performance of the radio link.
4.4.1 Main Lobe and Side Lobe
Before you align the antenna, you should be familiar with the related knowledge of the main
lobe and side lobe.
4.4.2 Aligning the Single-Polarized Antennas
When you align the single-polarized antennas, you need to align the main lobes of the antenna
by adjusting the azimuth and elevation of the antennas at both ends.
4.4.3 Aligning the Dual-Polarized Antennas
When you align the dual-polarized antennas, you need to align the main lobe of the antenna
signals by adjusting the azimuth and elevation of the antennas at both ends. You also need to
adjust the feed booms of the antennas so that the cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) meets
the specified requirements.

4.4.1 Main Lobe and Side Lobe

Before you align the antenna, you should be familiar with the related knowledge of the main
lobe and side lobe.

Definitions of the Main Lobe and Side Lobe

The electric field strength of the radiated power of the antenna varies in space. The differences
of the power distribution can be shown in an azimuth diagram. Generally, there are the horizontal

azimuth diagram for the horizontal section and the vertical azimuth diagram for the vertical
section. Figure 4-7 is a vertical azimuth diagram. There are many lobes in this figure. The lobe
with the strongest radiated power is the main lobe. The other lobes are side lobes wherein the
first side lobe can be used for aligning the antenna.
Figure 4-7 Main lobe and side lobe

Main lobe
First side lobe
Second side lobe

Locating the Main Lobe

The antenna alignment involves making the main lobe of the local antenna aligned with the main
lobe of the opposite antenna. The purpose is to make the received signal strength of the opposite
antenna reach the maximum value.
The main lobe width of the microwave antenna is narrow, that is, between 0.6 and 3.7. For
instance, in the case of a 1.2 m antenna at the 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 fall of 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 4-8 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.

Side lobe signal readings can be mistaken for main lobe readings when signals are tracked on
different elevation (or azimuth). Figure 4-9 shows a horizontal radio propagation model of the
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 ODU.)

Line AA' represents 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.

Line BB' represents 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.

Line CC' represents 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 at one side is higher than the side lobe peak at the other side, as shown
in Figure 4-10, a common error is to move the antenna 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 so 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 4-9 until the peak signal appears.

between NEs is normal. In this case, an NE can be accessed by using U2000, and the networkwide
service data can be configured.
5.1.1 Creating NEs by Using the Search Method
The U2000 can find all NEs that communicate with a specific gateway NE by using the IP address
of the gateway NE, the IP address range of the gateway NE, or the NSAP addresses. In addition,
the U2000 can create the NEs that are found in batches. Compared with the method of manually
creating NEs, this method is faster and more reliable.
5.1.2 Changing the NE ID
Modify the NE ID according to the engineering planning to guarantee that each NE ID is unique.
Modifying the NE ID does not interrupt services.
5.1.3 Changing the NE Name
To better identify the NE in the Main Topology, name the NE according to the NE geographical
location or the device connected to the NE.
5.1.4 Setting NE Communication Parameters
The communication parameters of an NE include the IP address of the NE, the gateway IP
address, and the subnet mask.
5.1.5 Configuring the Logical Board
If the logical board corresponding to the physical board is not added in the slot layout, add the
logical board in the slot layout. If the physical board is inconsistent with the logical board in the
slot layout, delete the inconsistent logical board and add the correct logical board.
5.1.6 Creating an IF 1+1 Protection Group
If the radio link adopts 1+1 HSB/FD/SD protection, you need to create the corresponding IF 1
+1 protection group.
5.1.7 Configuring the IF/ODU Information of a Radio Link

information that is frequently used by the SDH/PDH radio link based on each radio link.
5.1.8 Synchronizing the NE Time
By setting the NE time to be synchronous with the time on the NMS or standard NTP server,
you can record the exact time when alarms and abnormal events occur.
5.1.9 Creating the Cross-Connections of Point-to-Point Services
In a cross-connection of point-to-point services, one service source corresponds to one service
sink.
5.1.10 Configuring the Clock Sources
This topic describes how to configure the clock source according to the planned clock
synchronization scheme to ensure that all the NEs on the network trace the same clock.

You can check whether the equipment can transmit services stably for a long term by testing the
24-hour BER.

Prerequisite
Aligning the antennas must be complete.
The E1 service must be configured.

Tools, Equipment, and Materials

l

U2000

BER tester

E1 jumper

If the 24-hour BER cannot be tested for each hop of link because of restrictions of the actual
situation, choose the E1 service of the first node and the last node on each link to perform
the test. Through this method, you can ensure that the test path cover all the radio links.

The following test procedure considers the E1 service between NEs as an example.

Precautions

Procedure
Step 1 At the central site, extract several typical E1 services on the equipment and then connect them
to the DDF in a serial manner. After that, input these services into the BER tester.

If the first 24-hour BER test does not meet the specified requirement, find out the cause
and rectify the fault. Perform another 24-hour BER test until the test is passed.

If the BER exceeds the nominal value in the test for a serial connection, locate the fault by
using the dichotomizing search or other methods until each channel passes the 24-hour
BER test independently.

Working Mode

HSB

HSB

This parameter specifies the working

mode of the IF 1+1 protection.

In HSB mode, the equipment provides a

1+1 hot standby configuration for the IF
board and ODU at both ends of each hop
of a radio link to realize the protection.

In FD mode, the system uses two

channels that have a frequency spacing
between them, to transmit and receive the
same signal. The remote end selects
signals from the two received signals.
With FD protection, the impact of the
fading on signal transmission is reduced.

In SD mode, the system uses two

antennas that have a space distance
between them, to receive the same signal.
The equipment selects signals from the
two received signals. With SD protection,
the impact of the fading on signal
transmission is reduced.

The FD mode and SD mode are

compatible with the HSB switching
function.

This parameter is set according to the

planning information.

This parameter specifies the revertive

mode of the IF 1+1 protection.

When this parameter is set to Revertive

Mode, the NE that is in the switching
state releases the switching and enables
the former working channel to return to
the normal state some time after the
former working channel is restored to
normal.

When this parameter is set to NonRevertive Mode, the NE that is in the

switching state keeps the current state
unchanged unless another switching
occurs even though the former working
channel is restored to normal.

It is recommended that you set this

parameter to Revertive Mode.

This parameter indicates the dialling mode

of the orderwire phone.

888

This parameter indicates the telephone

number of the network-wide orderwire
conference call.

When a OptiX RTN 950 dials the

telephone number 888, the orderwire
phones of all the NEs on the orderwire
subnet ring. When a OptiX RTN 950
receives the call, the orderwire phones on
the other NEs do not ring. In this case, the
orderwire point-to-multipoint group call
changes to a point-to-point call between
two NEs.

The telephone number of the orderwire

conference call should be the same for all
the nodes on the same subnet.

The telephone number of the orderwire

conference call must have the same
length as the telephone number of the
orderwire phone (phone 1) at the local
site.
