1 Safety Precautions
This topic describes the safety precautions that you must follow when installing, operating, and
maintaining Huawei devices.
Grounding Requirements
The grounding requirements are applicable to the device that needs to be grounded.
l When installing the device, always connect the grounding facilities first. When removing
the device, always disconnect the grounding facilities last.
l Ensure that the grounding conductor is intact.
l Do not operate the device in the absence of a suitably installed grounding conductor.
l The device must be connected to the PGND permanently. Before operating the device,
check the electrical connections of the device, and ensure that the device is properly
grounded.
Human Safety
l When there is a risk of a lightning strike, do not operate the fixed terminal or touch the
cables.
l When there is risk of a lightning strike, unplug the AC power connector. Do not use the
fixed terminal or touch the terminal or antenna connector.
NOTE
The preceding requirements apply to wireless fixed station terminals.
l To avoid electric shocks, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to
telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits.
l Do not look into optical ports without eye protection. Otherwise, human eyes may be hurt
by laser beams.
l Before operating the device, wear an ESD protective coat, ESD gloves, and an ESD wrist
strap. In addition, you need to get off the conductive objects, such as jewelry and watches,
to prevent electric shock and burn.
l In case of fire, escape from the building or site where the device is located and press the
fire alarm bell or dial the telephone number for fire alarms. Do not enter the burning building
again in any situation.
Device Safety
l Before any operation, install the device firmly on the ground or other rigid objects, such as
on a wall or in a rack.
l When the system is working, ensure that the ventilation hole is not blocked.
l When installing the front panel, use a tool to tighten the screws firmly, if required.
l After installing the device, clean up the packing materials.

CLEAN PERIODICALLY定期清洗
High Voltage
DANGER
l A high-voltage power supply provides power for device operations. Direct human contact
with the high voltage power supply or human contact through damp objects can be fatal.
l Unspecified or unauthorized high voltage operations could result in fire or electric shock, or
both.
Thunderstorm
The requirements apply only to wireless base stations or devices with antennas and feeders.
DANGER
Do not perform operations on high voltage, AC power, towers, or backstays in stormy weather
conditions.
WARNING
Before powering on a device, ground the device. Otherwise, the safety of humans and the device
cannot be ensured.
If a high leakage current mark is labeled near the power connector of the device, you must
connect the PGND terminal on the shell to the ground before connecting the device to an A/C
input power supply. This is to prevent the electric shock caused by leakage current of the device.
Power Cables
DANGER
Do not install or remove the power cable with a live line. Transient contact between the core of
the power cable and the conductor may generate electric arc or spark, which may cause fire or
eye injury.
l Before installing or removing power cables, you must power off the device.
l Before connecting a power cable, you must ensure that the label on the power cable is
correct.
DANGER
Installing or removing a device is prohibited if the device is on.
DANGER
Do not install or remove the power cables of the equipment when it is powered on.
Short Circuits
When installing and maintaining devices, place and use the associated tools and instruments in
accordance with regulations to avoid short-circuits caused by metal objects.
CAUTION
To avoid short-circuits when using a tool (such as a screwdriver), do not place the tool on the
ventilation plate of the subrack.
CAUTION
Prevent any screws from dropping into the subrack or chassis to avoid short-circuits.
Fuse
WARNING
If the fuse on a device blows, replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type and specifications to
ensure safe operation of the device.
Electrostatic Discharge
CAUTION
The static electricity generated by the human body may damage the electrostatic sensitive
components on the board, such as the large-scale integrated circuit (LSI).
l The human body can generate static electromagnetic fields in the following situations:
physical movement, clothing friction, friction between shoes and the ground, plastics in
the hand. Such static electromagnetic effects can remain for an appreciable time.
l Before operating a device, circuit boards, or ASICs, wear an ESD wrist strap that is properly
grounded. The ESD wrist strap can prevent the electrostatic-sensitive components from
being damaged by the static electricity in the human body.
Figure 1-1 shows the method of wearing an ESD wrist strap.
DANGER
Do not place or operate devices in an environment of flammable or explosive air or gas.
DANGER
Before operating a storage battery, you must read the safety precautions carefully and be familiar
with the method of connecting a storage battery.
l Incorrect operations of storage batteries cause hazards. During operation, prevent any short-
circuit, and prevent the electrolyte from overflowing or leakage.
l If the electrolyte overflows, it causes potential hazards to the device. The electrolyte may
corrode metal parts and the circuit boards, and ultimately damage the circuit boards.
l A storage battery contains a great deal of energy. Misoperations may cause a short-circuit,
which leads to human injuries.
Basic Precautions
To ensure safety, note the following points before installing or maintaining the storage battery:
Short-Circuit
DANGER
A battery short-circuit may cause human injuries. Although the voltage of an ordinary battery
is low, the instantaneous high current caused by a short-circuit emits a great deal of energy.
Avoid any short-circuit of batteries caused by metal objects. If possible, disconnect the working
battery before performing other operations.
Hazardous Gas
CAUTION
Do not use any unsealed lead-acid storage battery. Lay a storage battery horizontally and fix it
properly to prevent the battery from emitting flammable gas, which may cause fire or device
erosion.
Working lead-acid storage batteries emit flammable gas. Therefore, ventilation and fireproofing
measures must be taken at the sites where lead-acid storage batteries are placed.
Battery Temperature
CAUTION
If a battery overheats, the battery may be deformed or damaged, and the electrolyte may
overflow.
When the temperature of the battery is higher than 60°C, you need to check whether the
electrolyte overflows. If the electrolyte overflows, take appropriate measures immediately.
Battery Leakage
CAUTION
In the event of acid overflow or spillage, neutralize the acid and clean it up appropriately.
When handling a leaky battery, protect against the possible damage caused by the acid. When
you find the electrolyte leaks, you can use the following substances to counteract and absorb the
leaking electrolyte:
l Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)
l Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3)
In the event of acid overflow or spillage, neutralize the acid and clean it up as recommended by
the battery manufacturer and any local regulations for acid disposal.
If a person contacts battery electrolyte, clean the skin that contacts the battery electrolyte
immediately by using water. In case of a severe situation, the person must be sent to a hospital
immediately.
1.6 Radiation
This topic describes safety precautions for electromagnetic exposure and lasers.
DANGER
When installing or maintaining an optical interface board or optical fibers, avoid direct eye
exposure to the laser beams launched from the optical interface board or fiber connectors. The
laser beam can cause damage to your eyes.
CAUTION
If fiber connectors or flanges are contaminated, optical power commissioning is seriously
affected. Therefore, the two endfaces and flange of every external fiber must be cleaned before
the fiber is led into the equipment through the 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
For cleaning steps, see Task Collection "Cleaning Fiber Connectors and Adapters" in the OptiX
RTN 950 Radio Transmission System Maintenance and Troubleshooting.
Figure 1-2 shows a slanting optical interface, and Figure 1-3 shows a level optical interface.
Slanting optical
interface
Level optical
interface
CAUTION
Ensure that all personnel are beyond the transmit direction of a working antenna.
l Before entering an area where the electromagnetic radiation is beyond the specified range,
the associated personnel must shut down the electromagnetic radiator or stay at least 10
meters away from the electromagnetic radiator, if in the transmit direction.
l A physical barrier and an eye-catching warning flag should be available in each forbidden
area.
1.6.4 Laser
This topic describes safety precautions for lasers.
WARNING
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet directly
without eye protection.
Laser transceivers are used in the optical transmission system and associated test tools. The laser
transmitted through the bare optical fiber produces a small beam of light, and therefore it has
very high power density and is invisible to human eyes. When a beam of light enters eyes, the
eyes may be damaged.
In normal cases, viewing an un-terminated optical fiber or a damaged optical fiber without eye
protection at a distance greater than 150 mm does not cause eye injury. Eye injury may occur,
however, if an optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to view
an un-terminated optical fiber.
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.
1.6.5 Microwave
When installing and maintaining the equipment of Huawei, follow the safety precautions of
microwave to ensure the safety of the human body and the equipment.
WARNING
Strong radio frequency can harm the human body.
When installing or maintaining an aerial on the tower or mast that is installed with multiple
aerials, switch off the transmitter in advance.
WARNING
When working at heights, be cautious to prevent objects from falling down.
WARNING
When heavy objects are being hoisted, do not walk below the cantilever or hoisted objects.
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 1-5. When using a ladder, to prevent the
ladder from sliding, ensure that the wider feet of the ladder are downward, or take protection
measures for the ladder feet. Ensure that the ladder is placed securely.
Climbing Up a Ladder
When climbing up a ladder, pay attention to the following points:
l Ensure that the center of gravity of your body does not deviate from the edges of the two
long sides.
l Before operations, ensure that your body is stable to reduce risks.
l Do not climb higher than the fourth rung of the ladder (counted from up to down).
If you want to climb up a roof, ensure that the ladder top is at least one meter higher than the
roof, as shown in Figure 1-6.
Figure 1-6 Ladder top being one meter higher than the roof
Drilling Holes
WARNING
Do not drill holes on the cabinet without prior permission. Drilling holes without complying
with the requirements affects the electromagnetic shielding performance of the cabinet and
damages the cables inside the cabinet. In addition, if the scraps caused by drilling enter the
cabinet, the printed circuit boards (PCBs) may be short-circuited.
l Before drilling a hole on the cabinet, remove the cables inside the cabinet.
l Wear an eye protector when drilling holes. This is to prevent eyes from being injured by
the splashing metal scraps.
l Wear protection gloves when drilling holes.
l Take measures to prevent the metallic scraps from falling into the cabinet. After the drilling,
clean up the metallic scraps.
Sharp Objects
WARNING
Wear protection gloves when carrying the device. This is to prevent hands from being injured
by the sharp edges of the device.
Fans
l When replacing parts, place the objects such as the parts, screws, and tools properly. This
is to prevent them from falling into the operating fans, which damages the fans or device.
l When replacing the parts near fans, keep your fingers or boards from touching operating
fans before the fans are powered off and stop running. Otherwise, the hands or the boards
are damaged.
WARNING
l The carrier must be prepared for load bearing before carrying heavy objects. This is to prevent
the carrier from being strained or pressed by the heavy objects.
l When you pull a chassis out of the cabinet, pay attention to the unstable or heavy objects on
the cabinet. This is to prevent the heavy objects on the cabinet top from falling down, which
may hurt you.
l Generally, two persons are needed to carry a chassis. It is prohibited that only one person
carries a heavy chassis. When carrying a chassis, the carriers should stretch their backs and
move stably to avoid being strained.
l When moving or lifting a chassis, hold the handles or bottom of the chassis. Do not hold
the handles of the modules installed in the chassis, such as the power modules, fan modules,
and boards.
CAUTION
When inserting a board, wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves, and handle the board gently to
avoid distorting pins on the backplane.
CAUTION
Bind the signal cables separately from the high-current or high-voltage cables.
Routing Cables
In the case of extremely low temperature, heavy shock or vibration may damage the plastic skin
of the cables. To ensure the construction safety, comply with the following requirements:
l When installing cables, ensure that the environment temperature is above 0°C.
l If the cables are stored in a place where the ambient temperature is below 0°C, transfer
them to a place at room temperature and store the cables for more than 24 hours before
installation.
l Handle the cables gently, especially in a low-temperature environment. Do not perform
any improper operations, for example, pushing the cables down directly from a truck.
High Temperature
WARNING
If the ambient temperature exceeds 55°C, the temperature of the front panel surface marked the
flag may exceed 70°C. When touching the front panel of the board in such an environment,
you must wear the protection gloves.
IF Cables
WARNING
Before installing or removing an IF cable, you must turn off the power switch of the IF board.
This chapter provides notices for the operations that may cause bodily injury or equipment

3 Commissioning Preparations
This chapter describes the preparations that need to be made prior to commissioning equipment.
Documents
The following document should be available before commissioning the equipment:
l Engineering design documents, including:
– Network plan
– Engineering design
l Commissioning guides, such as the OptiX RTN 950 Radio Transmission System
Commissioning and Configuration Guide
Tools
Table 3-1 lists the tools required for the commissioning task.
Laptop on which the Web LCT is installed l Configuring site commissioning data by
using the Web LCT
l Querying the DCN status
l Testing the AM switching
NOTE
For details about the requirements and methods for installing the Web LCT, see the iManager U2000 Web
LCT User Guide.
NOTE
In the following instructions for both types of commissioning methods, site commissioning and system
commissioning are defined as follows:
l Site commissioning refers to commissioning that is performed on a hop and sites at both ends of the
radio link by connecting the commissioning tool to the NE at a single site.
l System commissioning refers to commissioning that is performed on all the NEs in the network by
connecting the commissioning tool to a gateway NE where it configures the commissioning data for
each site.
Single-hop Commissioning
The single-hop commissioning method is preferred for small-scale microwave transmission
networks (for example, a network with only one or two radio link hops). By performing single-
hop commissioning, you can complete all site and system commissioning items at a time. The
major commissioning steps are as follows:
1. On both ends of a radio link, power on the NEs.
2. Use the Web LCT to configure all service data on the NEs.
3. Use the Web LCT to complete the site commissioning items.
4. Use the Web LCT to complete the system commissioning items.
NOTE
The Web LCT is used for single-hop commissioning, and therefore this document does not detail how to use
the Web LCT. For details about how to use the Web LCT, see the commissioning guide in the documentation
package of the Web LCT version.
Network Commissioning
The network commissioning method is usually used for large-scale microwave transmission
networks. The major commissioning steps are as follows:
1. On both ends of a radio link, power on the NEs.
2. Configure site commissioning data by using the Web LCT.
3. Use the U2000 to complete the site commissioning items at sites where services converge.
4. Use the U2000 to complete the system commissioning items at sites where services
converge.
4 Commissioning Process
Based on the objects to be commissioned, the process can be divided into two stages: site
commissioning and system commissioning.

5 Site Commissioning
Site commissioning includes the specific commissioning processes for all site commissioning
items.
Prerequisite
l Hardware installation has been completed and has passed the installation check.
l The power system is available. The voltage, pole connection, and fuse current of the power
system have been checked in the process of connecting power cables.
l The power supply (for example, the power box of the cabinet) has been turned off.
Context
l For the OptiX RTN 950, the recommended fuse currents are listed in Table 5-1.
l The OptiX RTN 950 supports the following system control, switching, and timing board:
Precautions
CAUTION
l If the equipment is configured with two PIU boards, the nominal voltage for the input power
of each PIU board must be the same.
l The ODU-PWR switch on the front panel of the IF board is designed with a locking device.
Hence, you must pull out the switches lightly before you turn it. If the switch points to "O",
the switch is turned off. If the switch points to "I", the switch is turned on.
l If the output voltage of the power supply does not meet test requirements, do not power on
the cabinet. First, reconstruct the power supply and then test the output voltage again.
Procedure
Step 1 Verify that the power cables of the chassis are correctly connected. Then, power on the equipment
and check the status of the indicators. In normal conditions, the PIU and FAN indicators are
steady green, as shown in Figure 5-1. Table 5-2 provides the descriptions for the different states
of the indicators.
Step 2 Check the status of the indicators on the system control, switching, and timing board and ensure
that the equipment is powered on. The board indicators should conform to the following states
and sequences.
1. The PROG indicator should be green, off, green. The process lasts about 1 minute if service
data is not configured.

Precautions
DANGER
When you are checking the connection of fiber jumpers, avoid direct eye exposure to the laser
beams.
Connection Diagram
When you use an SFP optical module to test the fiber jumper connection, connect the fiber
jumper to the optical power meter on the ODF side and connect the fiber jumper to the TX port
of the SFP optical module on the chassis side. Figure 5-5 shows the connection.

ODF
Procedure
Step 1 On the chassis side, disconnect the fiber jumper from the TX port of the SFP optical module.
Step 2 Connect the optical power meter to the TX port of the SFP optical module with a short fiber
jumper.
Step 3 Switch on the optical power meter and set the operating wavelength according to the type of
optical interface. The measured launched optical power of the SFP optical module is A.
Step 4 Insert the fiber jumper back into the TX port.
Step 5 On the ODF side, disconnect the fiber jumper from the TX port. Connect the fiber jumper to the
optical power meter. The measured optical power is B.
Step 6 Disconnect the fiber jumper from the TX port of the SFP optical module. The optical power
meter reads "LO" and does not receive any optical signals.
Step 7 Compare the values of A and B.
l 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.
l If the difference between A and B is more than 1 dB, verify that the fiber jumper is in good
condition and is correctly routed. Then, verify 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, it indicates that the fiber jumper is incorrectly connected or the attenuation
of the fiber jumper is not within the normal range. Verify that the fiber jumper is in good condition
and is correctly routed. Then, Verify that the fiber jumper terminal is clean.
Step 8 Repeat Steps 1 through 7 to check the fiber jumper that is connected to the RX port.
Step 9 Restore the fiber jumper connections on the chassis side and the ODF side.
Step 10 Repeat Steps 1 through 7 to check fiber jumper connections of other optical interfaces and then
restore the connections when completed.

Main lobe
First side lobe
Second side lobe
The main lobe width of the microwave antenna is narrow, 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 fall in the signal level. Whether
the main lobe is aligned properly can be verified by comparing the received signal peaks.
Typically, the main lobe signal peak is 20-25 dB higher than the first side lobe signal peak.
Figure 5-7 shows the head-on view of a free-space model for radio propagation with concentric
rings of side lobe peaks and troughs radiating outward from the main lobe.
90o
0o
Tracking Path
Side lobe signal readings are sometimes mistaken for main lobe readings when signals are
tracked on different elevation (or azimuth). Figure 5-8 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).

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 at one side is higher than the side lobe peak at the other side, as shown
in Figure 5-9, a common error is moving 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 5-8 until the peak signal appears.

the personnel commissioning the antennas are trained to work at high altitudes.
l The Multimeter is calibrated.
l The ATPC function is disabled (its default status on the NE is Disabled).
l The AM function is disabled (its default status on the NE is Disabled).
Precautions
l If the radio link is configured in 1+1 protection mode and one antenna is used at each end,
power off the standby ODUs at both ends before aligning the antennas. After the antennas
are aligned, power on the standby ODUs at both ends.
l If the radio link is configured in 1+1 SD mode, align the antennas in the following sequence:
1. Power on the main ODUs at both ends. Ensure that they are powered on during the
alignment.
2. Power off the standby ODUs at both ends. Then, align the main antennas at both ends.
3. Power on the standby ODU at the local end. Retain the position of the main antenna
at the remote end, and adjust the diversity antenna at the local end.
4. Power on the standby ODU at the remote end. Retain the position of the main antenna
at the local end, and adjust the diversity antenna at the remote end.
l If the radio link is configured in 1+1 FD mode and two antennas are used at each end, align
the antenna in the following sequence:
1. Power on the main ODUs, power off the standby ODUs, and align the main antennas
at both ends.
2. Power off the main ODUs, power on the standby ODUs, and align the diversity
antennas at both ends.
CAUTION
You can adjust the azimuth and elevation of the antennas by adjusting the appropriate nuts or
screws. For details, see the installation guide for the antennas.
Procedure
Step 1 Determine the azimuth of the antenna according to the installation position and height of the
antenna. Then, adjust the elevation of the antenna to the horizontal position.
Step 2 Connect a multimeter to the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) port on the ODU at the
local end and test the voltage value VBNC.
TIP
It is recommended that you make the test line terminated with a BNC connector at one end in advance,
because it is more convenient for testing the voltage value VBNC.
Step 4 Repeat Step 2 to Step 3 to adjust the antenna at the remote end. When VBNC reaches the peak
value, tighten the antenna at the remote end.
Step 5 Repeat Step 2 to Step 4 two to four times. When VBNC at the local end and VBNC at the remote
end reach the peak value, tighten the antennas at both ends
Step 6 Use the multimeter to test VBNC at both ends. Obtain the current RSL by referring to the
relationship curve between VBNC of ODUs and the RSLs at both ends.
NOTE
The curve diagram for VBNC and RSL is delivered along with the ODU.
The actual RSL must be the same as the value planned by the network planning department.
NOTE
l If VBNC does not meet the requirements, see the OptiX RTN 950 Radio Transmission System
Maintenance Guide for suggestion on how to handle the issue.
Step 7 Observe the ODU indicator on the IF board. The ODU indicator should turn off. If the ODU
indicator blinks yellow, align the antennas.
Step 8 Tighten all the screws on the antennas.
NOTE
Use the multimeter to measure the received value of RSSI again to ensure that no fault occurred in the process
of tightening the screws.

Services can be transmitted in IP radio mode only after networkwide service data is configured.
7.1.1 DCN
The network management system (NMS) communicates with a transmission network element
(NE) through the data communication network (DCN) to manage and maintain the NE.
7.1.2 GNE and Non-GNE
A gateway NE (GNE) refers to an NE whose application layer communicates directly with the
NMS application layer. A non-GNE refers to an NE whose application layer communicates with
the NMS application layer by forwarding data through the GNE application layer.
7.1.3 NE ID and NE IP Address
The ID and IP address are the unique NE on the DCN.
7.1.4 Physical Boards and Logical Boards
The NE software and NMS consider a physical board as one or more logical boards when
managing the physical board.
7.1.5 Adaptive Modulation
The adaptive modulation (AM) technology adjusts the modulation scheme automatically based
on channel quality.
7.1.6 CCDP and XPIC
The co-channel dual-polarization (CCDP) and cross-polarization interference cancellation
(XPIC) technologies are developed based on microwave polarization characteristics. The CCDP,
wherein two signals are transmitted over two orthogonal polarization waves, doubles the
transmission capacity; the XPIC cancels the cross-polarization interference between the two
polarization waves.
7.1.7 RF Configuration Modes
The OptiX RTN 950 supports four RF configuration modes, namely, 1+0 non-protection
configuration, N+0 non-protection configuration, 1+1 protection configuration and cross-
polarization interference cancellation (XPIC) configuration.
7.1.8 Ethernet Port Numbers
On the NMS, Ethernet ports are represented by PORTs.
7.1.9 IF_ETH Port
IF boards used in IP radio use their IF_ETH ports to receive services from and transmit services
to the packet plane.
7.1.10 Auto-Negotiation
The auto-negotiation function allows the network equipment to send information about its
supported working mode to the opposite end of the network and to receive corresponding
information that the opposite end may transfer.
7.1.11 Flow Control Function
When the equipment fails to handle the traffic received at the port due to poor data processing/
transferring capability, the line becomes congested. This also causes buffer overflow and
therefore some packets will be discarded. To reduce the number of packets to be discarded, take
appropriate flow control measures.
7.1.12 MAC Address Table Management
The entries in a MAC address table show the mappings between MAC addresses and ports. A
MAC address table contains dynamic entries, static entries, and blacklist entries.
7.1.13 Split Horizon Group
To separate services that are converged and to prevent a broadcast storm resulting from a service
loop, you can configure a split horizon group for the E-LAN services at the specified nodes.
After the configuration, the logical ports in one split horizon group cannot forward packets to
each other.
7.1.14 Protection for Native Ethernet Services
The OptiX RTN 950 supports three protection modes for Native Ethernet services, namely,
Ethernet ring protection switching (ERPS), link aggregation group (LAG), and multiple
spanning tree protocol (MSTP).
7.1.15 Clock Source
A clock source is a signal source that carries timing reference information. An NE implements
clock synchronization, by using its phase locked loop (PLL) to lock the timing information of
the clock source.
7.1.16 Clock Protection Modes
The OptiX RTN 950 supports clock source protection based on priorities, synchronization status
message (SSM) protection, and extended SSM protection.
7.1.17 Clock Synchronization Policy
Users plan an appropriate clock synchronization policy based on the network topology.
7.1.1 DCN
The network management system (NMS) communicates with a transmission network element
(NE) through the data communication network (DCN) to manage and maintain the NE.
Overview
On a DCN, both the NMS and NEs are DCN nodes. The DCN between the NMS and NEs is
called an external DCN, and the DCN between NEs is called an internal DCN. The OptiX RTN
950 supports several DCN solutions, including Huawei embedded control channel (HWECC),
IP over DCC, and inband DCN.

HWECC Solution
HWECC is a DCN solution provided by Huawei. In this solution, the U2000 manages NEs by
using network management messages that are encapsulated in the HWECC protocol stack.
When the HWECC solution is used, network management messages are encapsulated in the
proprietary HWECC protocol stack for transmission. The HWECC solution is therefore only
applicable when the network is only comprised of the OptiX RTN equipment that supports the
HWECC protocol stack.
Figure 7-3 shows how network management messages are transmitted in the HWECC solution.
Network management messages encapsulated in compliance with the HWECC protocol stack
can be transmitted through DCCs carried by the IP radio, or transmitted over the Ethernet
between Ethernet NM ports or between NE cascading ports.

GNE
Generally, a GNE is connected to the NMS through a local area network (LAN) or wide area
network (WAN). Its application layer can directly communicate with the NMS application layer.
One set of NMS needs to be connected to one or more GNEs.
ECC communication between the GNEs may create an oversized DCN. To prevent this, disable
extended ECC for the GNEs.
Non-GNE
A non-GNE communicates with the GNE through the DCN channels between NEs. It is
recommended that fewer than 50 non-GNEs are affiliated to a GNE.
NE ID
At the application layer of each DCN solution, an NE uses its NE ID as the NE address. Therefore,
each NE must have a unique NE ID on the DCN and all these NE IDs must be planned in a
unified manner.
The NE ID has 24 bits. The most significant eight bits represent the subnet ID (or the extended
ID) and the least significant 16 bits represent the basic ID. For example, if an NE ID is 0x090001,
the subnet ID is 9 and the basic ID is 1.
NE IP Address
An NE uses an IP address as its unique identifier during TCP/IP communication.
In the DCN solutions (for example, IP over DCC and inband DCN) where network management
messages are transmitted over TCP/IP, an NE IP address is used as the NE address at the network
layer. Therefore, each NE IP address on the DCN must be unique and all these NE IP addresses
must be planned in a unified manner.
By default (which indicates that an NE IP address is never manually changed), this NE IP address
is automatically changed to 0x81000000 + ID if the NE ID is changed. For example, if an NE
IP address is never manually changed, this NE IP address is automatically changed to 129.9.0.1
when the NE ID is changed to 0x090001. Once an NE IP address is manually changed, the
interlocking relationship between the NE ID and NE IP address no longer takes effect.

256QAM
The AM technology used by the OptiX RTN 950 has the following characteristics:
l The AM technology uses the QPSK, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM, and 256QAM
modulation schemes.
l The lowest-efficiency modulation scheme (also called reference scheme or modulation
scheme of guaranteed capacity) and the highest-efficiency modulation scheme (also called
nominal scheme or modulation scheme of full capacity) used by the AM can be configured.
l In AM, when modulation schemes are switched, the transmit frequency, receive frequency,
and channel spacing remain unchanged.
l In AM, modulation schemes are switched step-by-step.
l In AM, modulation scheme switching is hitless. When the modulation scheme is
downshifted, high-priority services will not be affected when low-priority services are
discarded. The switching is successful even when 100 dB/s channel fast fading occurs.
The capacity in CCDP transmission mode is double the capacity in single-polarized transmission
mode.
The ideal situation of CCDP transmission is that no interference exists between the two
orthogonal signals that operate at the same frequency, and then the receiver can easily recover
the two signals. In actual engineering conditions, however, regardless of the orthogonality of
the two signals, certain interference between the signals exists, due to cross-polarization
discrimination (XPD) of the antenna and channel deterioration. To cancel the interference, the
XPIC technology is adopted to receive and process the signals in the horizontal and vertical
directions, so that the original signals are recovered.
The characteristics of the XPIC function supported by the OptiX RTN 950 are as follows:
XPIC Configuration
The XPIC adopts both the horizontally polarized wave and the vertically polarized wave over
one channel to transmit two channels of signals. The radio link capacity in XPIC configuration
is double the radio link capacity in 1+0 configuration.
frames in IP radio mode. Ethernet packets demapped from the microwave frames in IP radio
mode are transmitted to the packet switching unit through IF_ETH ports.
The main differences between an IF_ETH port and a GE/FE port are as follows:
l An IF_ETH port is an internal Ethernet port. It transmits and receives MAC frames and
does not support functions on the PHY layer.
l The bandwidth at an IF_ETH port is equal to the Ethernet service bandwidth that IP
radio supports. Therefore, when the AM function is enabled for IP radio, the bandwidth at
an IF_ETH port varies according to the modulation mode.
NOTE
Internal IF_ETH port and external IF ports have one-to-one mappings. Therefore, an internal IF_ETH port,
similar to an external IF port, can be regarded as a port connected to the packet plane.
7.1.10 Auto-Negotiation
The auto-negotiation function allows the network equipment to send information about its
supported working mode to the opposite end of the network and to receive corresponding
information that the opposite end may transfer.
Table 7-3 Auto-negotiation rules for FE electrical ports (when the local FE electrical port works
in auto-negotiation mode)
Working Mode of the Opposite FE Auto-Negotiation Result
Electrical Port
NOTE
As provided in Table 7-3, when the opposite FE electrical port works in 10M full-duplex or 100M full-duplex
mode, auto-negotiation does not necessarily achieve full matching between the working modes of the FE
electrical ports at both ends. As a result, some packets are lost. Therefore, when the opposite FE electrical port
works in 10M full-duplex or 100M full-duplex mode, set the working mode of the local FE electrical port to
10M full-duplex or 100M full-duplex.
When the FE electrical ports at both ends work in auto-negotiation mode, the equipment at both
ends can negotiate flow control.
Table 7-4 Auto-negotiation rules for GE electrical ports (when the local GE electrical port works
in auto-negotiation mode)
NOTE
As provided in Table 7-4, when the opposite GE electrical port works in 10M full-duplex or 100M full-duplex
mode, auto-negotiation does not necessarily achieve full matching between the working modes of the GE
electrical ports at both ends. As a result, some packets are lost. Therefore, when the opposite GE electrical port
works in 10M full-duplex or 100M full-duplex mode, set the working mode of the local GE electrical port to
10M full-duplex or 100M full-duplex.
When the GE electrical ports at both ends work in auto-negotiation mode, the equipment at both
ends can negotiate flow control.
Half-duplex Ethernet uses a back-pressure mechanism to control flow. Full-duplex Ethernet uses
PAUSE frames to control flow. Currently, half-duplex Ethernet is not widely applied; therefore,
flow control implemented on the equipment is used for full-duplex Ethernet.
The flow control function on the equipment is classified into two types: auto-negotiation flow
control and non-auto-negotiation flow control.
On the NMS, the OptiX RTN 950 supports only two auto-negotiation flow control modes: Disabled mode and
Enable Symmetric Flow Control (symmetric PAUSE) mode.
l Send only
The port can transmit PAUSE frames in case of congestion but cannot process received
PAUSE frames.
l Receive only
The port can process received PAUSE frames but cannot transmit PAUSE frames in case
of congestion.
l Symmetric
The port can transmit PAUSE frames and can also process received PAUSE frames.
l Disabled
The port does not transmit or process PAUSE frames.
NOTE
On the NMS, the OptiX RTN 950 supports only two non-auto-negotiation flow control modes: Disabled mode
and Enable Symmetric Flow Control (symmetric) mode.

NOTE
l ERPS can prevent a service loop on a ring network. If ERPS is already enabled for a ring network, a split
horizon group is not needed as it may affect ERPS operation.
l On the OptiX RTN 950, only the split horizon group configuration based on physical ports is supported.
Therefore, if a physical port is mapped into several logical ports and one of these logical ports is a member
of a split horizon group, the other logical ports are added to the split horizon group automatically.
ERPS
ERPS is applicable to ring physical networks and can provide protection for the E-LAN services
between all the nodes on the ring network. Generally, when a ring network is configured with
ERPS, the RPL node blocks the RPL port on one side so that all the services are transmitted
through the ports on the other side. In this manner, service loops are prevented. If a section of
link fails or an NE becomes faulty, the RPL node unblocks its RPL port so that the services are
switched from the faulty point to the RPL port for transmission. In this manner, protection for
the ring network is achieved.
The Ethernet ring network shown in Figure 7-8 is configured with ERPS. Generally, the RPL
node (NE D) blocks its RPL port that is connected to NE A, and all the services are transmitted
over the link NE A <-> NE B <-> NE C <-> NE D. When the link between NE A <-> NE B
becomes faulty, NE D unblocks the blocked port so that the services can be transmitted over the
link NE A <-> NE D <-> NE C <-> NE B.

LAG
Link aggregation allows multiple links that are attached to the same equipment to be aggregated
to form a link aggregation group (LAG) so that the bandwidths and availability of the links
increase. The aggregated links can be considered as a single logical link.
The LAG provides users with a cost-effective method for increasing link bandwidth. The
users obtain data links with higher bandwidths by combining multiple physical links into
one logical link without upgrading the existing equipment. The bandwidth of the logical
link is equal to the sum of the bandwidths of the physical links. The aggregation module
distributes the traffic to different members by using the load balancing algorithm, achieving
the load balancing at the link level.
l Improved the link availability
The links in a LAG provide backup for each other dynamically. When a link fails, another
link in the LAG quickly takes over. This process in which link aggregation starts the backup
link only applies to the links in the same LAG and it cannot be performed on links that are
not in the LAG.

MSTP
The OptiX RTN 950 supports only the MSTP protocol that uses the common and internal
spanning tree (CIST). The MSTP that uses the CIST can be used as a rapid spanning tree protocol
(RSTP). The RSTP is applicable in case of a network loop. This protocol adopts certain
algorithms to reconstruct a loop network into a loop-free tree network and therefore prevents
Ethernet frames from increasing and cycling in an endless manner on the loop network.
On the OptiX RTN 950, the MSTP is used to prevent a network loop on the access side.
See Figure 7-10. When the user equipment is connected to the OptiX RTN 950 through two
different trails, you can configure the ports on the OptiX RTN 950 that are connected to the user
network into a port group. This port group, together with the switch on the user network, can
run the MSTP. If a service access link becomes faulty, the MSTP enables a re-configuration to
generate the spanning tree topology, providing protection for the user network that is configured
with multiple access points.

l Radio clock source: refers to a clock source that is extracted from the received radio signal.
l Ethernet clock source: refers to a clock source that is extracted from the Ethernet stream.
l Internal clock source: refers to a clock source that is generated through the free-run
oscillation of an NE built-in clock. The internal clock source has the lowest priority.
As shown in Figure 7-11, the radio links between NE1 and NE2 adopt 1+1 HSB protection.
NE2 needs to trace the clock on the radio links to keep synchronized with NE1. In this case, the
clock sources extracted by the main and standby IF boards can be configured in the clock source
priority list. The clock source extracted by the main IF board, however, has a higher priority.
Therefore, if the 1+1 HSB protection switching occurs on the radio links, the clock can be
switched at the same time.

FE/GE
SSM Protection
SSM protection enables automatic clock source switching to prevent timing loops. The OptiX
RTN 950 supports SSM protection. After SSM protection is enabled on an NE, automatic
protection switching of clock sources follows these rules:
l According to the clock source priority list, the NE selects the clock source of the highest
quality as the synchronization source.
l If multiple clock sources have the same highest quality, the NE selects the source with the
highest priority as the synchronization source.
l The NE broadcasts quality information about the synchronization clock source to its
downstream NEs and also notifies its upstream NE that its own clock source cannot be used
for synchronization.
When the network operates normally, the NEs on the ring select the clock source as follows:
1. NE1 selects the external clock source as the synchronization source and notifies NE2 and
NE4 of the external clock quality.
2. NE2 and NE4 select the clock source from NE1 as the synchronization source and notify
NE1 that the clock sources from NE2 and NE4 are unavailable.
3. After determining that the clock sources from NE2 and NE4 have the same quality, NE3
selects the clock source with a higher priority (the clock source from NE2) as the
synchronization source. In addition, NE3 transmits quality information about the
synchronization source to NE4 and notifies NE2 that the clock source from NE3 is
unavailable.
4. After determining that the clock sources from NE1 and NE3 have the same quality, NE4
selects the clock source with a higher priority (the clock source from NE3) as the
synchronization source. In addition, NE4 transmits quality information about the
synchronization source to NE1 and notifies NE3 that the clock source from NE4 is
unavailable.
5. According to the clock quality in the west and east directions and configured clock source
priorities, NE2, NE3, and NE4 determine that the synchronization source does not need to
be modified. The clock source selection is completed.
When the radio links between NE1 and NE2 become faulty, the NEs on the ring select the clock
source as follows:
1. NE2 selects the internal source as the synchronization source and transmits quality
information about the synchronization source to NE1 and NE3.
2. NE3 selects NE2 as the clock source and notifies NE4 of the clock quality.
3. After determining that the quality of the clock from NE1 is higher than the quality of the
clock from NE3, NE4 selects the clock source from NE1 as the synchronization source. In
addition, NE4 transmits quality information about the synchronization source to NE3 and
notifies NE1 that the clock from NE4 is unavailable.
4. After determining that the quality of the clock from NE4 is higher than the quality of the
clock from NE2, NE3 selects the clock source from NE4 as the synchronization source. In
addition, NE3 transmits quality information about the synchronization source to NE2 and
notifies NE4 that the clock source from NE3 is unavailable.
5. After determining that the quality of the clock from NE3 is higher than the quality of the
internal clock source, NE2 selects the clock source from NE3 as the synchronization source.
In addition, NE2 transmits quality information about the synchronization source to NE1
and notifies NE3 that the clock source from NE2 is unavailable.
6. According to the clock quality in the west and east directions and the configured clock
source priorities, NE2, NE3, and NE4 determine that the synchronization source does not
need to be modified. The clock source selection is completed.
NOTE
Even though SSM protection is enabled, clocks cannot constitute a ring during clock source configuration. For
example, configuration of clock sources on NE1 prevents a clock ring, as shown in Figure 7-12.

After extended SSM protection is enabled on an NE, automatic clock switching follows these
rules:
l According to the clock source priority list, the NE selects the clock source of the highest
quality as the synchronization source.
l If the clock ID of a clock source indicates that the clock source is from the local NE, the
clock source is not processed.
l If multiple clock sources have the same highest quality, the NE selects the source with the
highest priority as the synchronization source.
l The NE broadcasts quality information and the clock ID of the synchronization clock source
to its downstream NEs, and also notifies its upstream NE that its own clock source cannot
be used for synchronization.
The clock ID takes a value in the range of 0 to 15. 0 is the default value, indicating that the clock
ID is invalid. After the extended SSM protocol is enabled on the NE, the NE does not select any
clock source with an ID of 0 as its current clock source.
Follow these guidelines when you allocate clock IDs:
l When the extended SSM is used, the clock ID of an external clock source cannot be
automatically extracted. Therefore, allocate clock IDs to all external clock sources.
l At all the NEs that are connected to external clock sources, allocate clock IDs to the internal
clock sources.
l At all the intersecting nodes of a ring/chain and a ring, allocate clock IDs to the internal
clock sources.
l At all the intersecting nodes of a ring/chain and a ring, allocate clock IDs to the clock
sources that are transmitted to the ring.
l Do not allocate clock IDs to clock sources different from the preceding four types. Their
clock IDs are 0 by default.
l Clock IDs do not determine clock source priorities.
Figure 7-13 is a radio ring where the extended SSM protection is enabled.
On the ring, the following clock sources require clock IDs:

Figure 7-15 shows the clock synchronization policy for a tree network.
l On the master node (NE1), the Ethernet link connected to port 1 on the EM6T board in slot
2 provides a clock source. For NE1, clock source priorities are allocated in descending
order as follows: 2-EM6T-1 > internal clock source.

in slot 3 uses the vertical polarization mode and the ISX2 board in slot 5 uses the horizontal

NOTE
On the NMS, an IF_ETH port is displayed as Microwave Interface. An IF_ETH port is an internal GE port on
a generic IF board or an XPIC IF board. Ethernet packets are transmitted to the local IF board through its IF_ETH
ports, and then mapped into microwave frames in IP radio mode. Ethernet packets demapped from microwave
frames in IP radio mode are transmitted to the packet switching unit through IF_ETH ports.
Internal IF_ETH port and external IF ports have one-to-one mappings. Therefore, an internal IF_ETH port,
similar to an external IF port, can be regarded as a port connected to the packet plane.

l ERPS is configured to protect Native Ethernet services on the IP radio ring network.
l Services from BTSs/NodeBs do not carry VLAN IDs. After receiving services from BTSs/

NOTE
In this example, the IP radio network uses 1+0 protection configuration. If 1+1 protection is required:
l It is recommended that you configure the two IF boards that construct a 1+1 HSB protection group in slot
3 and slot 5, slot 4 and slot 6, or slot 1 and slot 2. In addition, it is recommended that you configure the main
IF board in the slot with the smaller slot numbers.
l It is recommended that you configure the two IF boards that construct a 1+1 FD/SD protection group in slot
3 and slot 5, slot 4 and slot 6, or slot 1 and slot 2. In addition, it is recommended that you configure the main
IF board in the slot with the smaller slot numbers.
l Generally, if 1+1 HSB protection is configured, it is recommended that the reverse switching function be
disabled; if 1+1 SD protection is configured, it is recommended that the reverse switching function be
enabled.
l If there is no special requirement, it is recommended that the other parameters for configuring 1+1 HSB/
FD/SD protection take their default values.

NOTE
l In this example, the FE ports on all the BTSs work in auto-negotiation mode. Therefore, the FE/GE ports
on each NE that receive and transmit services must also work in auto-negotiation mode. If the peer Ethernet
port works in another mode, the local Ethernet port must work in the same mode. The working modes of
the Ethernet ports inside the network are planned as auto-negotiation.
l In this example, to ensure that the Ethernet frames that carry more than one tag such as QinQ can traverse
the equipment, the maximum frame length is set to 1536 (bytes). If the equipment needs to transmit jumbo
frames with a greater length, set the maximum frame length according to the actual length of a jumbo frame.
Generally, if the equipment is directly interconnected with BTSs, the maximum frame length takes its default
value (1522 bytes).
l In this example, all the Ethernet services from the BSC carry VLAN IDs. Therefore, the tag attributes of all
the ports on NE1 are tag aware. The Ethernet services from the BTSs/NodeBs do not carry VLAN IDs.
Therefore, the tag attributes of all the ports on NE2 to NE4 are access.

NOTE
l In this example, all Native Ethernet services on the IP radio ring network carry VLAN IDs. Therefore, the
tag attributes of all IF_ETH ports are tag aware.
l The majority of the services that are backhauled from BTSs/NodeBs are Internet services. Therefore, the
errored frame discarding function needs to be enabled.
LAG Information
To improve the reliability of service transmission, NE1 and the BSC are interconnected through
the LAG formed by two GE links. Table 7-40 provides the planning information.
Parameter NE1
NOTE
In this example, the bandwidth of the Ethernet services is 390 Mbit/s, which is much lower than the bandwidth
of a GE port. Therefore, you do not need to configure the LAG to the load-sharing mode for increasing the
bandwidth.
ERPS ID 1 1 1 1
Guard time 500 ms (default 500 ms (default 500 ms (default 500 ms (default
value) value) value) value)
NOTE
l In this example, all the services are aggregated to NE1. Therefore, the NE (NE3) that is farthest from NE1
needs to function as the RPL owner. In this way, when the ring network is normal, the traffic carried on each
link is relatively even.
l The control VLAN needs to be a VLAN that is not used by any service. It is recommended that the control
VLAN use VLAN 4093.
l The packet transmit interval, entity level, WTR time, guard time, and hold-off time generally take their
default values.
Service ID 1 1 1 1
NOTE
QoS (DiffServ)
DiffServ (DS) is the basis for QoS. It is recommended that the VLAN priority or DSCP value
of the BTS services be allocated according to the service type. Then, the transmission network
creates the corresponding DS domain according to the allocated VLAN priority or DSCP value.
Each Ethernet port involved in the service must use the same DS configuration.
In this example, the BTS services are allocated with corresponding DSCP values according to
the service type, and the NEs allocate the PHB service classes according to the DSCP value, as
shown in Table 7-43. Each Ethernet port involved in the service uses the same DS configuration.
CS7 56 –
CS6 48 –
AF4 32 –
AF1 8 –
NOTE
l During the mapping of the PHB service class, CS7 or CS6 is not recommended, because CS7 or CS6 may
be used to transmit Ethernet protocol packets or inband DCN packets on the NE.
l Do not modify the default mappings for the DS domain because they already meet the network requirements.
l Change the type of trusted packets for associated Ethernet ports in the default DS domain, because the
Ethernet ports trust packets with DSCP values, instead of packets with C-VLAN priorities.
Table 7-44 lists the queue scheduling policy used by each Ethernet port involved in the service
in this example.

The values for the related parameters are provided as follows.
NOTE
In this configuration example, it is assumed that the IP address of the gateway NE has not been manually changed
and that the IP addresses of the non-gateway NEs are not known. Therefore, you need to search for and create
the NEs by using the 129.9.255.255 network segment as the search domain. If the IP address of the gateway NE
is known, it is recommended that you use the IP address of the gateway NE as the search domain.
Normally, the icon of NE1 should be displayed on Main Topology and all the NE data should
be uploaded successfully.

NOTE
The IP addresses of all the NEs, except NE1 (10.0.0.1), are interlocked with the NE IDs. If the IP address of an
NE is never manually changed, the IP address is automatically changed to its planned value when the NE ID is
changed.

Prerequisite
l You must be an NM user with NE operator authority or higher.
l The IF boards and the ODUs to which the IF boards are connected must be added on the
NE Panel.
l The IF boards of an IF 1+1 FD/SD protection group must be configured in two paired slots.
Background Information
When a 1+0 service is converted into a 1+1 HSB protection configuration by configuring the IF
1+1 protection group, the original service is not interrupted. The board that carries the original
service, however, needs to be set as the working board.
Procedure
Step 1 Select the NE from the Object Tree in the NE Explorer. Choose Configuration > IF 1+1
Protection from the Function Tree.
NOTE
l When Working Mode is set to HSB, 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.
l When Working Mode is set to FD, 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.
l When Working Mode is set to SD, 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.
l When Revertive Mode 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. It is recommended that you set this parameter to
Revertive Mode.
l When Revertive Mode is set to Non-Revertive, 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.
l You can set WTR Time(s) only when Revertive Mode is set to Revertive Mode. It is recommended
that you use the default value.
l Enable Reverse Switching is valid only when Working Mode is set to HSB or SD.

Procedure
Step 1 Select the NE from the Object Tree in the NE Explorer. Choose Configuration > QoS
Management > Policy Management > Port Policy from the Function Tree.
NOTE
l The strict priority (SP) scheduling algorithm is designed for the key services. One important
characteristic of the key services is that higher priorities are required to minimize the response delay
in the case of congestion events.
l The weighted round robin (WRR) scheduling algorithm divides each port into multiple output sub-
queues. The polling scheduling is performed among the output sub-queues to ensure that each sub-
queue has a certain period of service time.
l The OptiX RTN 950 supports the setting of the SP+WRR scheduling algorithm of the CoS queue
according to the requirement, and provides one or more queues that comply with the SP algorithm.
Except for the default value, however, the value of the WRR scheduling algorithm and the value of
the SP scheduling algorithm cannot be interleaved. That is, except for the default value, Grooming
Police After Reloading can be changed from SP to WRR according to the queue priorities in a
descending order (CS7-BE).
l Policy Weight(%) specifies the weight of the policy in the WRR queue. The weight indicates the
percentage of the bandwidth resources obtained by the WRR queue.
l Bandwidth Limit indicates or specifies whether traffic shaping is enabled for an egress queue
corresponding to a PHB service class.

NOTE
Traffic shaping for an egress queue uses the single token bucket two color marker algorithm. The value of the
CIR must be equal to the value of the PIR. In actual traffic shaping processing, only the PIR is valid.
If the traffic shaping function is enabled, OptiX RTN 950 processes the packets in the buffer queue through the
following methods when no packets are available in the queue.
l When the buffer queue is empty, the packets are processed as follows: If the rate of a packet is equal to or
lower than the PIR, it is directly forwarded; if the rate of a packet is higher than the PIR, it enters the buffer
queue and then is forwarded at a rate equal to the PIR.
l When the buffer queue is empty, certain burst packets can be forwarded if the rate of the packets is equal to
or lower than the PIR in a certain period. The maximum traffic of the burst packets is determined by the
PBS.
l When the buffer queue is not empty, the packets whose rate passes the restriction of the PIR directly enter
the buffer queue and then are forwarded at a rate equal to the PIR.
