● When handling the storage battery, ensure that its electrodes are upward.
Leaning or reversing the storage battery is prohibited.
● 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
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.
Battery Temperature
NOTICE
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:
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.

● Before using a ladder, check whether the ladder is damaged. After checking
that the ladder is in good condition, you can use the ladder.
● 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:
● Ensure that the center of gravity of your body does not deviate from the
edges of the two long sides.
● Before operations, ensure that your body is stable to reduce risks.
● 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
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.
● Before drilling a hole on the cabinet, remove the cables inside the cabinet.
● Wear an eye protector when drilling holes. This is to prevent eyes from being
injured by the splashing metal scraps.
● Wear protection gloves when drilling holes.
● 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.

properly. This is to prevent them from falling into the operating fans, which
damages the fans or device.
● 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.
CAUTION
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
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.
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:
● When installing cables, ensure that the environment temperature is above
0°C.
● 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.
● 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.

Background Information
This section describes how to connect the RTN 320 to the Web LCT through
WLAN. If the WLAN module is not working properly, it is recommended that you
connect the RTN 320 to the Web LCT through the NMS/GE2(e) port within the
maintenance compartment. In normal cases, it is not recommended that you
connect the RTN 320 to the Web LCT through the NMS port at the side of the
maintenance compartment. 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.
This section describes how to connect the RTN 320F to the Web LCT through
WLAN,as shown in Figure 1. If the WLAN module is abnormal, connect the RTN
320F to the Web LCT through the NMS interface,as shown in Figure 2. 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 320/320F
Connection diagram for the RTN 320:
NOTE
● If a site has several cascaded OptiX RTN 320/320Fs, connect the laptop to only one of the
OptiX RTN 320/320Fs. Other OptiX RTN 320/320Fs can be connected through the internal
DCN.
● Use either a crossover cable or a straight-through cable to connect the laptop to the OptiX
RTN 320/320F. For the wire sequences of crossover cables and straight-through cables, see
Cable in the Product Description.
Procedure
Step 1 Start the laptop and log in to the operating system.
Step 3 Manually configure the static IP address on the laptop; Keep this IP address on the
same network segment with the RTN NE fixed IP address (192.168.1.1/24).
Step 4 On the laptop, select the SSID of the required NE from the wireless connection list,
and enter the password to establish a WLAN connection.
● The default SSID is FMn-The last six digits of a MAC address in hexadecimal
format-NE ID.
● Default password: Modify_123.
NOTE
● If the WLAN Connection tool does not find the SSID of the NE, perform the following
operations:
– Check whether there is a block between the laptop and the NE.
– 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.)
– 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:
– The connection password is correct.
– The IP address is automatically allocated.
– 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 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 320/320F 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 5 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.
Step 6 Set User Name, Password, and Verification Code, and click Login.

Follow-up Procedure
If you cannot access the USER LOGIN window or the NE List page, configure the
Internet Explorer using the following method:
Prerequisites
● The Web LCT is communicating properly with NEs.
● You must be an NM user with NE operator authority or higher.
● If the NE connection mode is SSL or Normal+SSL (default), and NEs connect
to the Web LCT through WLAN, NEs are accessed using the SSL protocol. If
the NEs connect to the Web LCT through an Ethernet cable, it is also
recommended to use the SSL protocol.
● Follow the following steps to replace the SSL certificate if it is not matched.
– Delete the WebLCT\conf\certificate directory on the Web LCT.
– Copy the opt/oss/NCE/etc/ssl/nemanager/default directory on the NCE
to the path WebLCT\conf on the Web LCT. Rename default to
certificate. Note that the installation path on the Web LCT should not
contain Chinese characters, spaces, or special characters.
– Restart the Web LCT.

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.
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 320/320F).
● 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.
● 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.
● 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
● The antennas have been installed according to the network plan.
● The preceding site commissioning items have been completed at both ends of
a microwave link.
● 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.
● Onsite conditions meet the requirements for antennas to work at their given
heights, and the commissioning personnel are trained to work at these
heights.
● A properly calibrated multimeter is available.
● The automatic transmit power control (ATPC) function has been disabled
(this function is disabled by default).
● The adaptive modulation (AM) function has been disabled (this function is
disabled by default).
NOTE
When aligning antennas at intra-NE 2x2 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) sites,
commission each link separately. That is, disable a link when commissioning the other.
Otherwise, interference may be caused on received signals, affecting antenna alignment.
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.
The procedure describes in this section is the procedure for aligning single-
polarized antennas for the split RTN 320 and RTN 320F. For the integrated RTN
320, the procedure is similar. The RSSI port is on the OptiX RTN 320/320F.
Figure 4-6 Testing the RSSI voltage using a multimeter (split RTN 320 and RTN
320F)
Figure 4-7 Testing the RSSI voltage using a multimeter (integrated OptiX RTN
320)
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 320/320F.
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 320/320F 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.
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 4-9. 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.

In this procedure, OptiX RTN 320/320F can be installed at two sites on both ends as follows: the
RTN 320F is installed in indirect mounting mode; the RTN 320 is installed in indirect mounting
mode. If OptiX RTN 320/320F is installed at two sites on both ends as follows: the RTN 320F is
installed on the OMT in integrated mounting mode; the RTN 320 is installed on the OMT in
integrated mounting mode, the procedure for adjusting the feeder needs to be changed to the
procedure for adjusting the OMT.
Procedure
Step 1 Power off the vertically polarized ODUs and power on the horizontally polarized
ODUs at both ends of the microwave link. Ensure that the antennas at both ends
are transmitting horizontally polarized signals.
Step 2 Adjust the azimuth angle and elevation angle of the antennas at both ends by
referring to 4.7.2 Aligning Single-Polarized Antennas, and ensure that the main
lobes of the horizontally polarized signals are aligned.
Step 3 Measure the received signal level (RSL) of the horizontally polarized signals, that
is, P1, at the local end.
1. Use a multimeter to measure the RSL at the RSSI port of the horizontally
polarized ODU.
2. Calculate the RSL of the horizontally polarized signals, that is, P1, by referring
to the curve diagram delivered with the ODU.
Step 4 Adjust the feed boom at the local end, and ensure that the RSL of the vertically
polarized signals reaches the lower threshold (P2).
1. Power on the vertically polarized ODU at the local end.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the RSL at the RSSI port of the vertically
polarized ODU.
3. Calculate the RSL (P2) of the vertically polarized signals by referring to the
curve diagram in the RTN 320/320F box.
4. Calculate the XPD1 (XPD1 = P1 - P2).
If... Then...
The calculated XPD1 is less than 24 dB Go to the next step.
The calculated XPD1 is greater than or equal to 24 dB Go to Step 5.
NOTE
– The Link XPD is obtained through a rollback from the antenna XPD by 6 dB.
– In actual commissioning, the XPD value is usually greater than 24 dB. Try to adjust
the XPD value to the maximum value to ensure that links work in the optimal
state.
5. Release the feed boom holder slightly, and turn the feed boom slightly until
the RSL reaches the lower threshold and the calculated XPD1 is greater than
or equal to 24 dB.
Step 5 Record the angle (D1) of the current feed boom.
Step 6 At both ends of the microwave link, power off the horizontally polarized ODUs
and power on the vertically polarized ODUs. Ensure that the antennas at both
ends are transmitting vertically polarized signals.
Step 7 Measure the RSL (P3) of the vertically polarized signals at the local end by
referring to Step 3.
Step 8 Adjust the feed boom at the local end, and ensure that the RSL of the horizontally
polarized signals reaches the lower threshold (P4).
1. Power on the horizontally polarized ODU at the local end.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the RSL at the RSSI port of the horizontally
polarized ODU.
3. Calculate the RSL (P4) of the horizontally polarized signals by referring to the
curve diagram delivered with the ODU.
4. Calculate the XPD2 (XPD2 = P3 - P4).
If... Then...
The calculated XPD2 is less than 24 dB Go to the next step.
The calculated XPD2 is greater than or equal to 24 dB Go to Step 9.
5. Release the feed boom holder slightly, and turn the feed boom slightly until
the RSL reaches the lower threshold and the calculated XPD2 is greater than
or equal to 24 dB.
Step 9 Record the angle (D2) of the current feed boom.
Step 10 Adjust the feed boom slightly (ranging from D1 to D2), and ensure that XPD1 and
XPD2 are greater than or equal to 24 dB.
NOTE
If D1 and D2 are the same, you do not need to adjust the feed boom.
Use the multimeter to measure the RSL at the RSSI port again to ensure that no movement
occurred during the screw tightening process.

1:1 protection
In normal situations, services are transmitted in the working tunnel. That is,
services are transmitted and received in a different tunnel respectively. When the
working tunnel is faulty, the equipment at the transmit end transmits services
through the protection tunnel, and the equipment at the receive end receive
services through the protection tunnel after a negotiation through the APS
protocol. Therefore, service switching is realized.

● Calculate the RSL corresponding to the MSE demodulation threshold to
determine the receiver sensitivity.
● Subtract the receiver sensitivity from the current RSL to obtain the fade
margin.
The following procedure tests the fade margin over a microwave link.
Precautions
1. When the fade margin is being tested, all the services carried on the
microwave link may be interrupted.
2. A test on the main link in 1+1 protection configuration requires signals
transmitted on main channels at both ends. Likewise, a test on the standby
link in 1+1 protection configuration requires signals transmitted on standby
channels at both ends.
3. For an XPIC group, the channels in the two polarization directions (H and V)
are tested. Therefore, the fading margins of the two OptiX RTN 320/320Fs are
reported at the same time.
Procedure
Step 1 Disable the adaptive modulation (AM) and automatic transmit power control
(ATPC) functions on the microwave link between two sites.
1. In the NE Explorer, select the NE from the Object Tree and choose
Configuration > Microwave Link Configuration from the Function Tree.
2. Disable the adaptive modulation (AM) and automatic transmit power control
(ATPC) functions.
3. Click Apply.
NOTE
Step 3 Enable the AM and ATPC functions for the microwave link base on Step 1.
NOTE
Restore Modulation Mode of the Guaranteed AM Capacity and Modulation Mode of the
Full AM Capacity to their initial values when enabling the AM function.

Context
NOTE
Prerequisites
● The antennas have been aligned.
● Ethernet services have been configured.
Context
NOTICE
● Performance tests for E-Line services, E-LAN services, and a mixture of E-Line
and E-LAN services are supported.
● During the test, do not modify any configuration.
● During the test, if the network-side port of the Ethernet service is configured in
a LAG group and the LAG group works in load sharing mode, only data of a
single link is returned.
● The ports at the ends of the Ethernet service to be tested must be Ethernet
ports.
● During the test, only the tested Ethernet services at the tested port are
interrupted in normal cases.
● Large test traffic may affect other services and even cause packet loss of other
services.
● An NE cannot function as an initiator and a reflector at the same time.
NOTE
In an RFC 2544-compliant test on E-LAN services, the test initiator sends test packets or
delay packets at a specific traffic volume. The reflector end returns the packets based on
the specific filter criteria (for example, by VLAN and MAC address). The initiator end
computes the network performance based on the number of locally transmitted and
received packets or timestamp information about delay packets.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Maintenance > Test and Diagnose > Instrument-Free Measurement >
Perform RFC 2544 Test from the main menu.
The Create Test Instance dialog box is displayed.
Step 2 Select General. Click Display Advanced Parameters in the right pane and
configure general test information.
Parameter description:
1. Throughput test
– Test Rate (Mbit/s): Indicates the upper threshold for the test packet
transmission rate. Its value range is 1 Mbit/s to 10000 Mbit/s.
NOTE
▪ After the transmission rate upper threshold is specified (lower threshold is fixed to
1 kbit/s), the NE performs a test with the upper threshold and the lower
thresholds respectively. The NE checks for packet loss during the tests at the upper
threshold and lower threshold rates, and uses a dichotomy to calculate a new
transmission rate based on the packet loss condition. It will repeat this procedure
until calculating out a transmission rate that can be used as the throughout and
best meet requirements for the bandwidth and the packet loss ratio.
▪ If a specified test rate is lower than the actual bandwidth, the throughput in the
test result is equal to the specified test rate. Therefore, it is advisable to set the
test rate to a value higher than the actual physical bandwidth.
NOTE
▪ The test duration must be longer than two times of the test interval.
▪ If the throughput is calculated out within a test duration, the test for the specific
packet length ends. If the throughput fails to be calculated out within a test
duration, the test for the specific packet length fails and a timeout error is
returned.
– Packet Loss Ratio: Indicates the allowed packet loss ratio. After
performing a test at a specified rate, the NE checks whether packet loss
occurs according to this parameter value.
– Test Precision (kbit/s): Indicates the throughput test precision. The
higher the precision, the longer the test duration.
– Packet Transmission Interval (s): Indicates the packet transmission
duration in a throughput test. The value ranges from 1s to 60s.
NOTE
This parameter setting is related to the test duration. The longer the packet
transmission duration, the longer the total test duration. It is advisable to set it to its
maximum value 60s.
2. Packet loss ratio test
– Test Rate: Indicates the upper threshold for the test packet transmission
rate. Its value range is 1 Mbit/s to 10000 Mbit/s.
– Test Duration: Indicates the maximum test duration for a specific packet
length. Its value range is 10s to 172800s.
3. Delay test
– Test Rate: Indicates the upper threshold for the test packet transmission
rate. Its value range is 1 Mbit/s to 10000 Mbit/s.
– Test Duration: Indicates the maximum test duration for a specific packet
length. Its value range is 10s to 172800s.
NOTE
The test duration must be longer than two times of the test interval.
– Packet Transmission Interval: Indicates the delay packet transmission
interval in a delay test.
4. Packet Size (bytes): One to seven packet lengths can be set; that is, delay
tests can be performed for a maximum of seven packet lengths at the same
time.
Step 3 Select Initiator and configure the initiator information in the right pane.
Parameter description:
Step 4 Select Reflector and configure the reflector information in the right pane.
Parameter description:
● Reflector MAC Address: Indicates the MAC address based on which the
reflector reflects packets. The MAC address configuration at the initiator end
must be consistent with that at the reflector end.
● For an L2 service, Destination MAC Address needs to be set and Destination
IP Address does not need to be set. In addition, MAC addresses must be
unicast MAC addresses.
● VLAN ID: Indicates the VLAN ID of the E-LAN service.
Step 5 After setting required parameters, click OK.
Step 6 Click Start.
Step 7 After the test is complete, click Export Report to export the test reports.

Prerequisites
● Antenna alignment has been completed.
● The source and sink NEs of the Ethernet services have been configured with
VLAN-based E-Line services.
Context
NOTICE
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
● For V100R006C00 and later versions, the tests are supported for intra-NE
LAG/PLA/EPLA-enabled microwave links, but are not supported for cascaded
microwave links.
● 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 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
Step 1 Disable the inband DCN of the test ports.
4. Click Apply.

If Ethernet port is on the sink node, Sink Status should be set to Enabled.
4. Click Apply.
5. Click Start.
NOTE
– 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 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.
– The throughput test result of services with long frames deviates from the actual result
by less than 5%.
– The latency result and packet loss ratio result are the results of bidirectional services.

6.1 Handling the Failure of the Receive Power to Meet the Design Requirements
This section describes how to handle the fault of receive power failing to meet the
design requirements.
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:
● NE configurations
● Link transmission conditions and network plan
● Hardware installation and antenna alignment
Procedure
Step 1 Check the link transmission conditions and network plan.
● Verify that antennas are aligned under favorable weather conditions, free
from the impact of rainfall, snow, or fog.
● Verify the line of sight (LOS) on the microwave link based on a map and
observation.
Step 2 Check hardware installation and antenna alignment.

Initial Configuration
Initial configuration of a microwave network refers to initial configuration of
network-wide service data using the network management system (NMS) after
site commissioning is complete. Figure 7-1 shows the configuration flowchart.
Operation Remarks
NOTE
The configuration sequence provided in Table 7-2 is for reference only and needs to be adjusted
based on actual scenarios. For detailed configuration methods based on local scenarios, see the
configuration examples corresponding to 7.3 Common Network Scenarios of Configuration
Examples.
To prevent service interruption, first configure the clock and then configure services when
configuring MIMO links on the RTN 320.

Figure 7-4 shows the networking topology. On the chain network, NE1 is directly
connected to the Ethernet network, and services are sent to the RNC through NE2.
NOTE
Connections in the XPIC with 1+1 protection scenario are the same as those in the cascade EPLA
scenario.
NOTE
The RTN 320F does not support MIMO.
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.
● 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
● 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
NOTE
When inter-equipment 1+1 HSB or cascade EPLA is configured, the cascaded NEs use the
inband DCN to communicate.
DCN Solutions
The RTN 300 provides the following DCN solutions:
● 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.
● 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.
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.
7.4.1.2 IP DCN
This section describes the basic knowledge about IP DCN.
● 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
● 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.
● 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.
● Layer 4 is the transport layer, which provides end-to-end communication
services for the upper layer. NEs support the TCP/UDP protocol.
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.
● 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 NCE. Therefore, operations on the fibers or
cables do not affect the normal running of the NEs.
For a split RTN 320, the ODU is virtualized as a module of the DMC4 board. Alarms about the
ODU are reported by the DMC4 board. You can query the type (split or integrated) of an RTN
320 on the NCE by querying the subrack type of the NE.
NOTE
When the Web LCT is used for configuration, there is no need to create fibers/cables.

Service Model
Table 7-27 describes the transparently transmitted point-to-point E-Line service
model.
Typical Application
Figure 7-27 shows the typical application of transparently transmitted point-to-
point E-Line service model.
Service Model
Table 7-28 provides information about the VLAN-based E-Line service model.
Typical Application
Figure 7-28 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).
Service Model
Table 7-29 shows the QinQ-based E-Line service models.
Model 1 PORT (source) UNI-NNI Null (source) The source port adds the
QinQ link (sink) QinQ (sink) S-VLAN tag that
corresponds to the QinQ
link to all the received
Ethernet frames, and
then transmits the
Ethernet frames to the
sink port to which the
QinQ link is connected.
Typical Application
Figure 7-29 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.
service 2 so that the service 1 and service 2 carry different S-VLAN tags. Service 1
and service 2 are then transmitted to port 3. Port 3 transmits service 1 and service
2 to NE2.
Service Model
Table 7-30 shows the IEEE 802.1D bridge-based E-LAN service model.
Typical Application
Figure 7-33 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.
Service Model
Table 7-31 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 7-34 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).
● Services 1 and 2 have the same VLAN ID of 100, and services 3 and 4 have
the same VLAN ID of 200.
● 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.
Service Model
Table 7-32 shows the 802.1ad bridge-based E-LAN service model.

NOTE
The maximum number of VLANs supported by the configured for all the Ethernet services is

must be PORT, and a VLAN filtering table must be created to restrict E-LAN services transmitted
from the V-UNI.
Typical Application
Figure 7-35 shows the typical application of the 802.1ad bridge-based E-LAN
service model. NE2 and N3 receive services G and H and send them to the
convergence node NE1. Services G and H carry a same C-VLAN tag, so S-VLAN
tags are added for differentiating and separating these services.
