All Safety Precautions

To ensure the safety of humans and a device, follow the marks on the device and all the safety
precautions in this document when installing, operating, and maintaining a device.
The "CAUTION", "WARNING", and "DANGER" marks in this document do not cover all
the safety precautions that must be followed. They are supplements to the safety precautions.
Local Laws and Regulations

When operating a device, always comply with the local laws and regulations. The safety
precautions provided in the documents are in addition/supplementary to the local laws and
regulations.
Basic Installation Requirements

The installation and maintenance personnel of Huawei devices must receive strict training and
be familiar with the proper operation methods and safety precautions before any operation.
l Only trained and qualified personnel are permitted to install, operate, and maintain a
device.
l Only certified professionals are permitted to remove the safety facilities, and to
troubleshoot and maintain the device.
l Only the personnel authenticated or authorized by Huawei are permitted to replace or
change the device or parts of the device (including software).
l The operating personnel must immediately report the faults or errors that may cause
safety problems to the person in charge.
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

1.4 Environment of Flammable Gas

This topic describes safety precautions for the operating environment of a device.

DANGER
Do not place or operate devices in an environment of flammable or explosive air or gas.
Operating an electronic device in an environment of flammable gas causes a severe hazard.
1.5 Storage Batteries

This topic describes safety precautions for operations of storage batteries.
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
NOTICE
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
NOTICE
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
NOTICE
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.
1.6.1 Safe Usage of Optical Fibers

The laser beam can cause damage to your eyes. Hence, you must exercise caution when using
optical fibers.
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.
Cleaning Fiber Connectors and Optical Interfaces
NOTICE
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
1.6.2 Electromagnetic Exposure

This topic describes safety precautions for electromagnetic exposure.
If multiple transmit antennas are installed on a tower or backstay, keep away from the
transmit directions of the antennas when you install or maintain an antenna locally.

NOTICE
Ensure that all personnel are beyond the transmit direction of a working antenna.
1.6.3 Forbidden Areas

The topic describes requirements for a forbidden area.
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.
CAUTION
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.
Safety Instructions Regarding Lasers

To avoid laser radiation, obey the following instructions:
l All operations should be performed by authorized personnel who have completed the
required training courses.
l Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or fibers.
l Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber
connectors.
l 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.
l Use an optical power meter to measure the optical power and ensure that the optical
source is switched off.
l Before opening the front door of an optical transmission device, ensure that you are not
exposed to laser radiation.

l 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.
Instructions Regarding Fiber Handling

Read and abide by the following instructions before handling fibers:
l Only trained personnel are permitted to cut and splice fibers.

l Before cutting or splicing a fiber, ensure that the fiber is disconnected from the optical
source. After disconnecting the fiber, cap to the fiber connectors.
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.
CAUTION
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.
1.7 Working at Heights

This topic describes safety precautions for 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.

l Carry and handle the operating machines and tools with caution to prevent them from
falling down.
l Safety measures, such as wearing a helmet and a safety belt, must be taken.
l Wear cold-proof clothes when working at heights in cold areas.
l Check all lifting appliances thoroughly before starting the work, and ensure that they are
intact.
1.7.1 Hoisting Heavy Objects

This topic describes the safety precautions for hoisting heavy objects that you must follow
when installing, operating, and maintaining Huawei devices.

CAUTION

l Only trained and qualified personnel can perform hoisting operations.

l Before hoisting heavy objects, check that the hoisting tools are complete and in good
condition.
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.
Figure 1-1 Hoisting heavy objects
1.7.2 Using Ladders

This topic describes safety precautions for using ladders.

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.
Figure 1-2 Slanting a ladder
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.

1.8 Mechanical Safety

This topic describes safety precautions for drilling holes, handling sharp objects, operating
fans, and carrying heavy objects.
Drilling Holes
CAUTION
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
CAUTION
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.
Carrying Heavy Objects

Wear protection gloves when carrying heavy objects. This is to prevent hands from being
hurt.
CAUTION
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.
1.9 Other Precautions

This topic describes safety precautions for removing and inserting boards, binding signal
cables, and routing cables.

Removing and Inserting a Board
NOTICE
When inserting a board, wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves, and handle the board gently
to avoid distorting pins on the backplane.
l Slide the board along the guide rails.

l Do not contact one board with another to avoid short-circuits or damage.
l When holding a board in hand, do not touch the board circuits, components, connectors,
or connection slots of the board to prevent damage caused by ESD of the human body to
the electrostatic-sensitive components.
Binding Signal Cables
NOTICE
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
CAUTION
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.

380A to the Web LCT through the Ethernet network management interface or through the
Ethernet network management interface of an NE that communicates with the OptiX RTN
380A through the DCN,as shown in Figure 2 and 3. The IP address of the Ethernet ports on
the computer that houses the Web LCT must be in the same network segment as the NE IP
address. The two IP addresses must be different.
Figure 4-1 Ways for connecting the Web LCT to an OptiX RTN 380A
NOTE
l If a site has several cascaded OptiX RTN 380As, connect the laptop to only one of the OptiX RTN 380As.
Other OptiX RTN 380As can be connected through the internal DCN. If the a GE electrical interface is
set as the NMS interface, it can be connected to the Web LCT.
l Use either a crossover cable or a straight-through cable to connect the laptop to the OptiX RTN 380A. For
the wire sequences of crossover cables and straight-through cables, see Cable in the OptiX RTN 380A
Microwave Transmission System Product Description.
Procedure
Step 1 Start the laptop and log in to the operating system.
Step 2 Use the Wi-Fi Connection tool delivered with the Web LCT to set up a Wi-Fi connection
between the laptop and NE.
1. Access the Wi-Fi Connection tool directory (such as WebLCT\weblct\tools\wificonn)
and run WifiConnection.exe.

2. Select the SSID of the NE to set up a WLAN connection.

– The default SSID is EMn-The last six digits of a MAC address in hexadecimal
format-NE ID.
– Default password: Modify_123.
Right-click it.

After the connection is set up, the

connection status of the related NE
becomes "Connected".

NOTE
– If the WLAN Connection tool does not find the SSID of the NE, perform the following
operations:
n Check whether there is a block between the laptop and the NE.
n Check whether the distance between the laptop and NE is longer than the typical WLAN
transmission distance. (The typical transmission distance between the WLAN module
and laptop is 30m. An external WLAN network adapter can be installed on the laptop to
extend the typical transmission distance to 70 m.)
n If the distance between the laptop and NE is shorter than the typical WLAN transmission
distance, view the status of the WLAN indicator in the maintenance compartment. If the
WLAN indicator is red (indicating the abnormal state), replace the WLAN module or
connect the laptop to the NMS port in the maintenance compartment to check the
WLAN configuration.
– Generally, it takes about 20s to set up connection through WLAN, please be patient.
– If a WLAN connection fails to be set up, check whether:
n The connection password is correct.
n The IP address is automatically allocated.
n Another laptop is connected to the NE though WLAN. Only one device can access an
NE through WLAN at a time. If another device needs to access the NE, it is
recommended that you use the WLAN Connection tool to disconnect the first device and
then access the second device. The disconnection method is similar to the connection
method.
After the Web LCT and the OptiX RTN 380A are properly connected, the indicator at the
Ethernet port of the laptop is steady green. A message is displayed indicating that the
network has established a local connection if the operating system has been configured
to do so.
Step 3 After the WLAN connection is set up successfully, double-click the Start Web LCT icon on
the desktop.
The system displays the USER LOGIN window of the Web LCT.

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.
4.7.1 Main Lobe and Side Lobes

Before aligning antennas, engineers must be familiar with the following concepts regarding
the main lobe and side lobes.
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.
Figure 4-2 Main lobe and side lobes
Main lobe
First side lobe
Second side lobe
Locating of the Main Lobe

Antenna alignment aligns the main lobe of the local antenna with the main lobe of the
opposite antenna, to achieve the maximum received signal strength at the opposite antenna.

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.

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 380A).

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.

4.7.2 Aligning Single-Polarized Antennas

When aligning single-polarized antennas, align the main lobes by adjusting the azimuth and
elevation of the antennas at both ends.
Prerequisites
l The antennas have been installed according to the network plan.
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).

l Adjustable wrench
l Interphone
l Hex key (delivered with antennas)
l North-stabilized indicator
l Telescope
l Multimeter
l Received signal strength indicator (RSSI) test cables (delivered with OptiX RTN 380A)

NOTICE
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 380A.
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 380A 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.
NOTE
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.
Figure 4-6 Testing the RSSI voltage using a multimeter

Step 4 Adjust the azimuth and elevation of the antenna as follows:

1. Keep the remote antenna fixed.
2. Loosen the antenna brackets, rotate the antenna horizontally within a large range, and
observe the value of VBNC on the multimeter. When the value is not 0, secure the antenna
brackets.
3. Loosen the fine adjustment bolts, rotate the antenna horizontally, and observe the peak
values of VBNC on the multimeter.
Normally, three signal peaks are tracked, as shown in Figure 4-7.
Figure 4-7 Signal peaks

1 3
NOTICE
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.
NOTE
l Perform slight adjustments in this step.

l After the adjustments are complete and antennas at both ends are secured, the VBNC value must reach or
exceed the VBNC value obtained in Step 1.

This section describes how to test the latency, throughput, and packet loss ratio of VLAN-
based Ethernet line (E-Line) services with different frame lengths.

Prerequisites
l The source and sink NEs of the Ethernet services have been configured with VLAN-
based E-Line services.

U2000
Context
NOTICE
l The source and sink ports (test ports) of the tested Ethernet services must be Ethernet
ports. During the test, all Ethernet services over the test ports are interrupted.
l If the tested Ethernet services contain quality of service (QoS), OAM, link aggregation
group (LAG), or other protocol data, the test results may be inaccurate. It is recommended
that you disable the functions before performing the test.
l If the source port of the tested services carries other services, the test results may be
inaccurate. It is recommended that you disable the other services at the source port before
performing the test.
l Meter-free test results may be inaccurate if a warm/cold reset occurs during a test. In case
of a warm/cold reset, you need to initiate a second test.

The Ethernet services between on NE1 and on NE2 shown in Figure 5-5 are tested. Both NE1
and NE2 are configured with VLAN-based E-Line services.
The Ethernet services between NE1 and NE2 carry the VLAN ID 100.
NOTE
The VLAN ID of the E-Line service to be tested must be the same as the default VLAN ID of the test port.
Otherwise, the source and sink NEs cannot be successfully created.
Procedure

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 packet loss ratio of services with long frames is higher than that of services with
short frames, you can consider that no packet is lost.
l The throughput test result of services with long frames deviates from the actual result by less than 5%.

7.4 Configuring the Network Topology

You can manage a transport network by using the U2000 only after configuring the network
topology.
7.4.1 Basic Concepts

Before configuring the network topology, familiarize yourself with the basic concepts.
7.4.1.1 Introduction to DCN

Through the data communication network (DCN), the NMS communicates with transmission
NEs to manage and maintain them.
DCN Composition
The DCN contains two types of node: NMS and NE. The DCN between the NMS and NEs is
called external DCN. The DCN among NEs is called internal DCN. The external DCN
consists of data communication devices, such as Ethernet switches and routers. The internal
DCN consists of NEs that are connected using DCN channels. Unless otherwise specified, the
DCN mentioned in this document refers to internal DCN.

DCN Channel
DCN channels fall into two types: outband DCN channel and inband DCN channel.
l Oubtband DCN channels do not occupy any service bandwidth. The RTN 300 supports
two types of outband DCN channel:
– D1 to D3 bytes in microwave frames
– Channels over NMS ports
l Inband DCN channels occupy some service bandwidth. The RTN 300 supports two types
of inband DCN channel:
– Some Ethernet service bandwidth of microwave links
– Some Ethernet service bandwidth of Ethernet links

DCN Solutions
The RTN 300 provides the following DCN solutions:
l IP DCN solution
In the IP DCN solution, network management messages are encapsulated into IP packets.
NEs forward the IP packets based on the IP addresses contained in them. This solution
supports a maximum of 200 NEs and ensures high network stability. This solution is the
default and preferred solution.
l L2 DCN solution
In the L2 DCN solution, network management messages are encapsulated into IP
packets, which are carried by Ethernet frames. NEs forward the Ethernet frames based
on the MAC addresses contained in them. This solution supports a maximum of 120

NEs. However, this solution has the risk of broadcast packet flooding and provides poor
network stability.
The RTN 300 also supports the HWECC solution, which is eliminated gradually.
NE Types on the DCN

Two types of NE are available on the DCN: gateway NE and non-gateway NE.
Gateway NE: The application layer of the NMS directly communicates with the application
layer of a gateway NE. Generally, an NE at the boundary between the internal DCN and
external DCN is a gateway NE. An NE located inside a DCN can also function as a gateway
NE. The NEs between the NMS and the gateway NE inside a DCN forward DCN packets at
L2 or L3.
Non-gateway NE: The application layer of the NMS communications with the application
layer of a non-gateway NE through the application layer of a gateway NE. The NEs between
the gateway NE and non-gateway NE forward DCN packets at L2 or L3.

DCN Flags
An NE on the DCN must be configured with two DCN flags: NE ID and NE IP address.
An NE ID is used for application layer communication. An NE ID contains three bytes among

which the most significant byte represents the extended ID and the other two bytes represent
the basic ID. For example, if the extended ID is 9 and the basic ID is 1, the NE ID is
represented as 9-1.
An NE IP address is used for IP communication. By default, the NE IP address and NE ID of

an NE are associated. Specifically, the last three bytes of the NE IP address correspond to the
three bytes of the NE ID. For example, if an NE ID is changed to 9-1, the corresponding NE
IP address automatically changes to 129.9.0.1.

When an NE IP address is changed manually, the association relationship between the NE ID

and NE IP address becomes ineffective.
7.4.1.2 IP DCN
This section describes the basic knowledge about IP DCN.
Application of the IP DCN Solution

Huawei's IP DCN solution allows an NMS to manage NEs by encapsulating NMS messages
in the IP protocol stack and transmitting them over DCN channels between the NEs. This
solution is preferred if a network has only RTN 300s or a combination of RTN 300s and third-
party equipment supporting the IP protocol stack.

IP DCN Protocol Stack

To implement IP DCN, all NEs on the DCN must support the IP protocol stack. IP DCN uses
the standard TCP/IP protocol stack architecture.
l Layer 1 of the protocol stack is the physical layer, which provides data transmission
channels for data terminal equipment. The RTN 300 provides the following DCN
channels:
– NMS port: all the bandwidth at the NMS port
– DCC channel: three Huawei-defined DCC bytes in a microwave frame at a
microwave port
– Inband DCN: a portion of Ethernet service bandwidth at an Ethernet or a
microwave port
l Layer 2 is the data link layer, which provides reliable data transmission to the physical
link layer. DCCs and inband DCNs use the PPP protocol to set up data links. Therefore,
IP addresses of adjacent NEs do not need to be in the same IP network segment.
l Layer 3 is the network layer, which specifies the network layer address for a network
entity and provides forwarding and addressing functions. NEs implement network layer
functions using the IP protocol. The routes used for IP forwarding can be direct routes
discovered by link layer protocols, manually configured static routes, or dynamic routes
generated by the OSPF protocol. The RTN 300 provides various OSPF features; for
details, see Specifications.
l Layer 4 is the transport layer, which provides end-to-end communication services for the
upper layer. NEs support the TCP/UDP protocol.
Forwarding DCN Packets Based on the IP Protocol Stack

In IP DCN, the packets are forwarded in either gateway access mode or direct access mode.
In gateway access mode, the packets are forwarded as follows:
1. The NMS forwards application layer packets to the gateway NE through the TCP
connection.

2. The gateway NE extracts the packets from the TCP/IP protocol stack and delivers them
to the application layer.
3. The application layer of the gateway NE queries the NE ID carried by the packets. If the
NE ID is not the gateway NE's ID, the gateway NE queries the core routing table of the
application layer by the destination NE address to obtain the route to the destination NE
and the communication protocol stack of the transit NE. Because the transit NE uses the
IP protocol stack, the gateway NE transfers the packets to the transit NE through the IP
protocol stack.
4. The network layer of the transit NE queries the destination IP address of the packets. If
the address is not the transit NE's address, the transit NE queries the IP routing table to
obtain the route to the destination NE and then transfers the packets.
5. The network layer of the destination NE passes the packets to its application layer
through the transport layer only if the destination IP address of the packets is the same as
the IP address of the destination NE. The application layer then processes the packets.
In direct access mode, the packets are transferred in a different way.

The original gateway NE acts as an ordinary transit NE, and packets are transferred at the
network layer.

Traversing the L2 Network

In actual networking, the RTN 300 is often connects to a third-party L2 network. In this
scenario, IP DCN packets have to traverse the L2 network based on the access control
function at RTN 300's Ethernet ports.
A third-party L2 network may be located between the NMS and a network consisting of
OptiX RTN 300s or between two networks consisting of OptiX RTN 300s.
When the third-party L2 network is located between the NMS and the network comprised of
RTN 300s, the L2 network transmits Ethernet services and DCN packets between the NMS
and the gateway NE. In this example, the NMS uses the LAN switch to remove the VLAN ID
carried by NMS messages and the access control function is enabled on the Ethernet port of
the gateway NE. After the access control function is enabled:
l The Ethernet port functions as an Ethernet NMS port on the gateway NE.
l The IP address of the Ethernet port must be in the same network segment as that of the
NMS IP address and in a network segment different from that of NE IP addresses.
l The NMS communicates with the gateway NE based on the IP address of the Ethernet
port.

When the third-party L2 network is located between two networks comprised of RTN 300s,
NMS messages are encapsulated as L2 services for transmission. In this example, the access
control function is enabled on the Ethernet ports of the two networks for connecting to the
third-party L2 network and their IP addresses are in the same network segment.
The third-party L2 network creates a dedicated L2VPN service for the DCN packets carrying
a specific inband DCN VLAN ID.
7.4.1.3 Fiber/Cable Types

You can obtain the clear fiber/cable connection relationship between NEs by using the fiber
management function of the U2000. You can also use the U2000 to manage fibers and cables,
including Ethernet fibers/cables, microwave links.
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.
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.
7.4.2 Configuration Process (Network Topology)

This section provides the process for configuring NEs, DCNs, and fibers/cables.

Figure 7-7 shows a microwave chain network configured according to the following
requirements:
l A microwave chain network consists of three sites and four OptiX RTN 380As, which
are managed by the U2000.
l The local backhaul network is a third-party network and cannot be managed together
with the OptiX RTN equipment. NE1 is configured as the gateway NE, and it
communicates with U2000s using the access control function.
l The NEs use the D1 to D3 bytes in microwave links or partial Ethernet bandwidth in GE
links for data communication network (DCN) communication that is implemented using
IP.

7.6.2 Ethernet Service Types
7.6.2.1 Transparently Transmitted Point-to-Point E-Line Service

The transparently transmitted point-to-point Ethernet line (E-Line) service is the basic E-Line
model. Point-to-point transmission does not involve service bandwidth sharing, service
isolation, or service distinguishing. Instead, Ethernet services are transparently transmitted
between two service access points.
Service Model
Table 7-16 describes the transparently transmitted point-to-point E-Line service model.

network
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 or QinQ-class domain. Then, Port 2
sends Ethernet service 1 to NE2. Service processing on NE2 is the same as that on NE1.
7.6.2.2 VLAN-based E-Line Service

You can use VLANs to separate Ethernet line (E-Line) services, which allows the E-Line
services to share one physical transmission channel. E-Line services separated in this manner
are called VLAN-based E-Line services.
Service Model
Table 7-17 provides information about the VLAN-based E-Line service model.

Typical Application
Figure 7-18 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.

7.6.2.3 QinQ-Based E-Line Services

S-VLAN tags can be used to separate several E-Line services so that these services share one
physical channel for transmission. Therefore, S-VLAN tags can separate more services than
C-VLAN tags. These services are called QinQ-based E-Line services.
Service Model
Table 7-18 shows the QinQ-based E-Line service models.

Model 1 PORT (source) UNI-NNI Null (source) The source port adds the S-
QinQ link (sink) QinQ (sink) VLAN tag that corresponds

Ethernet frames to the sink

is connected.
Model 2 PORT (source) UNI-NNI 802.1Q (source) The source port processes
QinQ link (sink) QinQ (sink) Ethernet frames according
to the Tag attribute. It adds
the S-VLAN tag that

the Ethernet frames to the

Model 3 PORT+C-VLAN UNI-NNI 802.1Q (source) The source port processes

list (source) QinQ (sink) Ethernet frames according
QinQ link (sink) to the Tag attribute. It adds
the S-VLAN tag that
corresponds to the C-VLAN

and then transmits the
Ethernet frames to the sink
port where the QinQ link
configured.
Model 4(1) PORT+S-VLAN UNI-UNI QinQ (source) The source port transmits
list (source) QinQ (sink) the Ethernet frames that
PORT+S-VLAN carry a specific S-VLAN tag

(source) QinQ (sink) the Ethernet frames that
QinQ link (sink) carry a specific S-VLAN tag
(corresponding to the source
QinQ link) to the sink port
to which the sink QinQ link
is connected. If the source
and sink QinQ links have
different S-VLAN tags, S-
VLAN tag swapping occurs.

Typical Application
Figure 7-19 shows the typical application of service model 1.
Service 1 and service 2 contain tagged frames and untagged frames. 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.

Typical Application
Figure 7-23 shows a typical application of the IEEE 802.1D bridge-based E-LAN service
model. Services from NodeB 1 and NodeB 2 converge at NE1 and then are transmitted to the
radio network controller (RNC). The services do not need to be separated; therefore, an IEEE
802.1D bridge is used at NE1 to schedule services.

7.6.2.5 IEEE 802.1Q Bridge-based E-LAN Services

You can use VLANs to separate Ethernet local area network (E-LAN) services and divide an
IEEE 802.1Q bridge into multiple independent switching sub-domains. E-LAN services
separated in this manner are called IEEE 802.1Q bridge-based E-LAN services.

Service Model
Table 7-20 provides information about the IEEE 802.1Q bridge-based E-LAN service model.

NOTE
The maximum number of VLANs supported by the configured for all the Ethernet services is fixed to 1024. If
more than 1024 VLANs are bound to a V-UNI, the logical type of the V-UNI must be PORT, and a VLAN
filtering table must be created to restrict E–LAN services transmitted from the V-UNI.
Typical Application
Figure 7-24 shows a typical application of the IEEE 802.1Q bridge-based E-LAN 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 and 2 have the same VLAN ID of 100, and services 3 and 4 have the same
VLAN ID of 200.
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.

7.6.2.6 802.1ad Bridge-based E-LAN Services

S-VLANs can be used to divide a bridge into sub-switching domains. Services from different
users are separated when they are transmitted in different sub-switching domains. These
services are called 802.1ad bridge-based E-LAN services.
Service Model

7.8.5 Configuring Clocks

7.8.5.1 Configuring the System Clock Source

Prerequisites

U2000
NOTE
Context
The following steps configure COMBO interface as the clock source with the highest priority,
the next is IF.
Procedure
Step 1 Configuring the system clock source.
NOTE
----End
7.8.5.2 Configuring Protection for Clock Sources

This section describes how to configure protection for clock sources. For a simple network
(such as a chain network), protection for the clock sources is not required or the clock sources
are protected according to the clock source priority table. For a complex network (such as a
ring network, a ring with chain network, or a network consisting of intersectant rings), clock
sources need to be protected by using the standard Synchronization Status Message (SSM)
protocol or the extended SSM protocol.
Prerequisites

l Clock sources have been configured.

U2000
NOTE
Context
l Enables the standard SSM protocol.

l Enables the extended SSM protocol and sets the IDs of the clock source COMBO, IF
and the internal clock source to 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
NOTE
l It is recommended that you enable the standard SSM protocol for a simple ring network and enable the
extended SSM protocol for a complex network (for example, a network consisting of intersectant rings,
which may provide the network with multiple clock sources).
l If the extended SSM protocol is enabled, set IDs for the following clock sources:
l Reference clock sources for a ring network
l Local clock source of an NE that traces a clock source outside the ring network
Each clock source ID must be unique and is unrelated to priorities.
Procedure
Step 1 Enable the standard SSM protocol.
Step 2 Enable the extended SSM protocol.

----End
7.8.5.3 Configuring a Clock Source Group

If multiple links between two NEs form a ring, clock source groups must be configured on the
two NEs to prevent clock loops.
Prerequisites
l Clock sources have been configured.
l Standard SSM protocol have been configured.

U2000
NOTE
Context
The following steps configure two clock sources as a group.
Procedure
Step 1
