Huawei devices.
All Safety Precautions

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

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

The installation and maintenance personnel of Huawei devices must receive strict
training and be familiar with the proper operation methods and safety precautions
before any operation.
● Only trained and qualified personnel are permitted to install, operate, and
maintain a device.
● Only certified professionals are permitted to remove the safety facilities, and
to troubleshoot and maintain the device.
● Only the personnel authenticated or authorized by Huawei are permitted to
replace or change the device or parts of the device (including software).
● The operating personnel must immediately report the faults or errors that
may cause safety problems to the person in charge.
Grounding Requirements
The grounding requirements are applicable to the device that needs to be
grounded.
● When installing the device, always connect the grounding facilities first. When
removing the device, always disconnect the grounding facilities last.
● Ensure that the grounding conductor is intact.
● Do not operate the device in the absence of a suitably installed grounding
conductor.
● The device must be connected to the protection ground (PGND) permanently.
Before operating the device, check the electrical connections of the device,
and ensure that the device is properly grounded.

Human Safety
● When there is a risk of a lightning strike, do not operate the fixed terminal or
touch the cables.
● 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.
● To avoid electric shocks, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits.
● Do not look into optical ports without eye protection. Otherwise, human eyes
may be hurt by laser beams.
● 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.
● 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
● Before any operation, install the device firmly on the ground or other rigid
objects, such as on a wall or in a rack.
● When the system is working, ensure that the ventilation hole is not blocked.
● When installing the front panel, use a tool to tighten the screws firmly, if
required.

1.4 Environment of Flammable Gas

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

DANGER
Do not place or operate devices in an environment of flammable or explosive air

or gas.
Operating an electronic device in an environment of flammable gas causes a

severe hazard.
1.5 Storage Batteries

This topic describes safety precautions for operations of storage batteries.
DANGER
Before operating a storage battery, you must read the safety precautions carefully
and be familiar with the method of connecting a storage battery.
● Incorrect operations of storage batteries cause hazards. During operation,

prevent any short-circuit, and prevent the electrolyte from overflowing or
leakage.
● 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.
● 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:
● Use special insulation tools.
● Wear an eye protector and take effective protection measures.
● Wear rubber gloves and a protection coat to prevent the hazard caused by
the overflowing electrolyte.
● 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
A battery short-circuit may cause human injuries. Although the voltage of an

ordinary battery is low, the instantaneous high current caused by a short-circuit
emits a great deal of energy.

Avoid any short-circuit of batteries caused by metal objects. If possible, disconnect

the working battery before performing other operations.
Hazardous Gas
NOTICE
Do not use any unsealed lead-acid storage battery. Lay a storage battery
horizontally and fix it properly to prevent the battery from emitting flammable
gas, which may cause fire or device erosion.
Working lead-acid storage batteries emit flammable gas. Therefore, ventilation

and fireproofing measures must be taken at the sites where lead-acid storage
batteries are placed.
Battery Temperature
NOTICE
If a battery overheats, the battery may be deformed or damaged, and the

electrolyte may overflow.
When the temperature of the battery is higher than 60°C, you need to check
whether the electrolyte overflows. If the electrolyte overflows, take appropriate
measures immediately.
Battery Leakage
NOTICE
In the event of acid overflow or spillage, neutralize the acid and clean it up
appropriately.
When handling a leaky battery, protect against the possible damage caused by the
acid. When you find the electrolyte leaks, you can use the following substances to
counteract and absorb the leaking electrolyte:
● Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)

● Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3)
In the event of acid overflow or spillage, neutralize the acid and clean it up as
recommended by the battery manufacturer and any local regulations for acid
disposal.
If a person contacts battery electrolyte, clean the skin that contacts the battery
electrolyte immediately by using water. In case of a severe situation, the person
must be sent to a hospital immediately.

1.6 Radiation
This topic describes safety precautions for electromagnetic exposure and lasers.
1.6.1 Safe Usage of Optical Fibers

The laser beam can cause damage to your eyes. Hence, you must exercise caution
when using optical fibers.
DANGER
When installing or maintaining optical fibers, avoid direct eye exposure to the
laser beams launched from the optical interface or fiber connectors. The laser
beam can cause damage to your eyes.
Cleaning Fiber Connectors and Optical Interfaces
NOTICE
If fiber connectors or flanges are contaminated, optical power commissioning is

seriously affected. Therefore, the two endfaces and flange of every external fiber
must be cleaned before the fiber is led into the equipment through the optical
distribution frame (ODF) for being inserted into an optical interface on the
equipment.
The fiber connectors and optical interfaces of the lasers must be cleaned with the
following special cleaning tools and materials:
● 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.
● Non-woven lens tissue
● Special compressed gas
● Cotton stick (medical cotton or long fiber cotton)
● Special cleaning roll, used with the recommended cleaning solvent
● Special magnifier for fiber connectors
1.6.2 Electromagnetic Exposure

This topic describes safety precautions for electromagnetic exposure.
If multiple transmit antennas are installed on a tower or backstay, keep away

from the transmit directions of the antennas when you install or maintain an
antenna locally.

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

The topic describes requirements for a forbidden area.
● 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.
● A physical barrier and an eye-catching warning flag should be available in
each forbidden area.
1.6.4 Laser
This topic describes safety precautions for lasers.
CAUTION
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber
outlet directly without eye protection.
Laser transceivers are used in the optical transmission system and associated test
tools. The laser transmitted through the bare optical fiber produces a small beam
of light, and therefore it has very high power density and is invisible to human
eyes. When a beam of light enters eyes, the eyes may be damaged.
In normal cases, viewing an un-terminated optical fiber or a damaged optical fiber

without eye protection at a distance greater than 150 mm does not cause eye
injury. Eye injury may occur, however, if an optical tool such as a microscope,
magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to view an un-terminated optical fiber.
Safety Instructions Regarding Lasers

To avoid laser radiation, obey the following instructions:
● All operations should be performed by authorized personnel who have

completed the required training courses.
● Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or fibers.
● Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical
fiber connectors.
● Do not look into the end of an exposed fiber or an open connector when you
are not sure whether the optical source is switched off.
● Use an optical power meter to measure the optical power and ensure that the
optical source is switched off.
● Before opening the front door of an optical transmission device, ensure that
you are not exposed to laser radiation.

● Do not use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass, or an eye

loupe to view the optical connector or fiber that is transmitting optical
signals.
Instructions Regarding Fiber Handling

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

● Before cutting or splicing a fiber, ensure that the fiber is disconnected from
the optical source. After disconnecting the fiber, cap to the fiber connectors.
1.6.5 Microwave

● OptiX RTN 380s have been powered on.
● The WLAN module is normal.
Tools, Equipment, and Materials

Web LCT (Win7 or later version operating system)
Background Information
This section describes how to connect the OptiX RTN 380 to the Web LCT through
WLAN. If the WLAN module is abnormal, connect the OptiX RTN 380 to the Web
LCT through the Ethernet network management interface or through the Ethernet
network management interface of an NE that communicates with the OptiX RTN
380 through the DCN. 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 380
NOTE
● If a site has several cascaded OptiX RTN 380s, connect the laptop to only one of the OptiX
RTN 380s. Other OptiX RTN 380s can be connected through the internal DCN. If the a GE
electrical interface is set as the NMS interface, it can be connected to the Web LCT.
● Use either a crossover cable or a straight-through cable to connect the laptop to the OptiX
RTN 380. 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 2 Start WLAN connection on the laptop.
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 EMn-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 380 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.
● User Name: admin

4.7 Aligning Antennas

Antenna alignment is the most important activity in site commissioning, as
antenna alignment has a direct effect on microwave link performance.
4.7.1 Main Lobe and Side Lobes

Before aligning antennas, engineers must be familiar with the following concepts
regarding the main lobe and side lobes.
Definition
The electric field strength of the radiated power of an antenna varies in space. The
differences of the power distribution can be shown in an azimuth diagram.
Generally, there are two azimuth diagrams illustrating the horizontal and vertical
sections. These are the horizontal azimuth diagram and vertical azimuth diagram.
Figure 4-2 is a vertical azimuth diagram showing many lobes. The lobe with the
strongest radiated power is the main lobe, while the others are side lobes. The first
side lobe can be used for aligning the antenna.
Figure 4-2 Main lobe and side lobes
Locating of the Main Lobe

Antenna alignment aligns the main lobe of the local antenna with the main lobe
of the opposite antenna, to achieve the maximum received signal strength at the
opposite antenna.
The main lobe width of a microwave antenna is narrow, specifically, between 0.6°
and 3.7°. For instance, in the case of a 1.2 m antenna at a working frequency of
23 GHz, the azimuth is only 0.9° when the signal level drops from the signal peak
to zero. Once a signal is detected, very small alignment adjustments are required
to locate the main lobe.
Antenna movement across the main lobe results in a rapid rise and drop in the
signal level. Whether the main lobe is aligned properly can be verified by

comparing the received signal peaks. Typically, the main lobe signal peak is 20-25
dB higher than the first side lobe signal peak.
Figure 4-3 shows the head-on view of a free-space model for radio propagation
with concentric rings of side lobe peaks and troughs radiating outward from the
main lobe.
Figure 4-3 Horizontal section and front view of 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 380).
Figure 4-4 Three tracking paths

● 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.

4.7.2 Aligning Single-Polarized Antennas

When aligning single-polarized antennas, align the main lobes by adjusting the
azimuth and elevation of the antennas at both ends.
Prerequisites
● 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).

● Adjustable wrench
● Interphone
● Hex key (delivered with antennas)
● North-stabilized indicator
● Telescope
● Multimeter
● Received signal strength indicator (RSSI) test cables (delivered with OptiX
RTN 380)
NOTICE
You can change the azimuth and elevation of the antennas by adjusting the nuts
or screws. For details, see the antenna installation guide. Steps provided in this
section are for reference only.
Procedure
Step 1 Calculate the voltage value (VBNC) for the RSSI port corresponding to the planned
received signal level (RSL) based on the RSSI and RSL curves.
NOTE
The curve diagram for VBNC and RSL is delivered along with the OptiX RTN 380.

Step 2 Determine the azimuth of the antenna at the local end based on the installation
position and height of the antenna. Then, adjust the elevation of the antenna to
the horizontal position.
NOTE
For a special microwave link (for example, a microwave link with one end on a mountain top
and the other end at the foot of the mountain), the inclination between the link and the
horizontal line is greater than the half-power angle of the antenna. Slightly adjust the elevation
of the antenna so the main lobes are aligned vertically.
Step 3 Connect a multimeter to the RSSI port on the OptiX RTN 380 at the local end
using an RSSI test fiber and test the voltage value VBNC. Turn the multimeter to
the DC power level with the voltage value 20 V.
NOTE
It is recommended that you fix the multimeter to the tower with adhesive tape at your
plain view, so that you can observe the RSSI voltage value while aligning antennas.
Figure 4-6 Testing the RSSI voltage using a multimeter
Step 4 Adjust the azimuth and elevation of the antenna as follows:

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

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

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

4.7.3 Aligning Single-Polarized Antennas (With an Alignment

scope)
Use an alignment scope to align the built-in antennas of OptiX RTN 380s.
Prerequisites
● Site commissioning has been completed for the OptiX RTN 380s at the two
ends of a microwave link hop.
● The weather at both ends is suitable for outdoor operations and there is no
rain, snow, or fog.

● Hex key (delivered with OptiX RTN 380)
● North arrow
● Alignment scope (delivered with OptiX RTN 380)
● Multimeter
● RSSI test cable (delivered with OptiX RTN 380)
Procedure
Step 1 Ensure that the azimuth of the local OptiX RTN 380 is aligned with the peer OptiX
RTN 380 based on the installation position and height of the peer OptiX RTN 380.
NOTE
If the azimuth adjustment is insufficient to align the local OptiX RTN 380 with its peer,
loosen the hose clamp, re-position the local OptiX RTN 380, and then fasten the hose
clamp.
Step 2 Install an alignment scope.
NOTE
After loosening the mounting loop of the eyepiece, you can rotate the eyepiece to adjust its
orientation.
Step 3 Adjust the elevation of the local OptiX RTN 380 using adjustment nuts.
NOTE
Rotate adjustment nuts 1 and 2 to adjust the elevation. Do not attempt to turn the device or
mounting kits to adjust the elevation.
Step 4 Adjust the azimuth and elevation of the local OptiX RTN 380 slowly to move the
crosshair of the alignment scope to the peer OptiX RTN 380.

Step 5 Tighten the adjustment locking screws. Slightly move the local OptiX RTN 380 in
the horizontal and vertical directions to check whether it is securely installed.
installed.
NOTE
● When mounting an OptiX RTN 380 to a wall, use a 33/85 hex key with a standard length
defined by ISO 2936 to tighten adjustment locking screw. When mounting an OptiX RTN 380
to a pole, determine whether to use a hex key according to the actual situation.
● If you cannot tighten adjustment locking screw using the preceding hex key, contact the
local Huawei office to purchase an extension bracket.
Then, check whether the crosshair of the alignment scope is still aiming at the
center of the peer OptiX RTN 380. If the crosshair is not aiming at the center of
the peer RTN 360, slowly rotate the wing nuts to adjust the azimuth and
elevation.
Step 6 Align the peer OptiX RTN 380 with the local OptiX RTN 380 in the same way.
Step 7 Remove the alignment scope.
NOTE
Remove the alignment scope gently to ensure that the aligned antennas are not affected.
Step 8 Calculate the voltage value VBNC for the RSSI port corresponding to the planned
receive power based on the RSSI and received signal level (RSL) curve.
NOTE
The RSSI and RSL curve diagram is placed in the carton containing OptiX RTN 380.
Step 9 Measure the RSL.

NOTE
If the RSL does not reach the planned value, align the OptiX RTN 380s again.

5.6.3 Testing MPLS APS Protection Switching

By checking the change in the status of MPLS tunnels before and after the MPLS
APS switching, you can verify whether the MPLS APS protection function is
normal.
Prerequisites
● The MPLS tunnel protection group must be created properly.

NCE
NOTE
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.

Figure 5-6 shows the connection diagram for testing MPLS APS protection
switching. NE A and NE B are the OptiX RTN 380 NEs.

5.8 Testing the Fade Margin over a Microwave Link

The fade margin over a microwave link can be evaluated by measuring the mean
square errors (MSEs) at different received signal levels (RSLs).

Prerequisites
● Antennas have been aligned, and the RSLs at both ends of the microwave link
meet requirements.
● The configured transmit power is the same as the actual transmit power.

NCE
NOTE
Context
The procedure for testing the fade margin is as follows:
● Test the mapping between RSLs and MSEs at multiple sites.
● 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 a XPIC or CCDP group, before testing a channel, mute the channel in the
other polarization direction.
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.

5.9 Testing Ethernet Service Performance

This section describes how to test Ethernet service performance using the NE-
inherent test functions.
5.9.1 Testing Ethernet Service Performance (Based on RFC

2544)
This section describes how to use RFC 2544-compliant functions to test the packet
loss ratio, delay, and throughput for Ethernet services.
Prerequisites
● The antennas have been aligned.
● Ethernet services have been configured.

NCE
NOTE
The OptiX RTN 380 that uses SHUF3 boards does not support services.
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.
Connection Diagram for the Test

The test procedure takes the Ethernet service between NE A (PORT1) and NE B
(PORT2)Figure 5-7, as shown in , as an example. Ethernet services on NE A and
NE B are E-LAN.

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.
▪ If the specified test rate is lower than the port rate:

○ When the UNI is not configured in a LAG, ensure that the test rate is equal to
or lower than the port physical bandwidth (depending on the GE/GE port
type; 1 Gbit/s for an IF port).
○ When the UNI is configured in a LAG, ensure that the test rate is equal to or
lower than the total sum (equal to or smaller than 1 Gbit/s) of LAG
members' physical bandwidths.
– Test Duration (s): 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.
▪ 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.
● Initiator: Indicates the initiator UNI test port.
● Destination MAC Address: Indicates the destination MAC address carried in
packets initiatively sent by the NE (for example, 00-00-00-00-00-01 or
00-00-00-00-00-02). The reflector end reflects packets according to the
destination MAC address. 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.
● 802.1p Priority: Indicates the VLAN priority carried by packets initiated by the
NE.
Step 4 Select Reflector and configure the reflector information in the right pane.

● Reflector: Indicates the reflector UNI test port.

● 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.

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 Handling of Common Faults During Site

Deployment
This chapter describes how to handle common faults during site deployment.
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.
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 NE configurations by browsing the configuration data of the microwave link
according to Managing a Hop of Microwave Link.
● Verify that the actual transmit and receive frequencies at both ends of the
link match and meet the network plan requirements.

● Verify that the channel bandwidths and modulation schemes at both ends of
the link are the same and meet the network plan requirements.
● Verify that the transmit power at both ends of the link meets the network
plan requirements.
● Verify that the adaptive modulation (AM) and automatic transmit power
control (ATPC) functions are disabled during antenna alignment.
Step 2 Check the link transmission conditions and network plan.
● 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.
● Verify that the antenna positions and directions meet the network plan
requirements by using a compass.
● Verify that the height difference between the antennas is within the
adjustment range and that the network design parameters are correct by
consulting network planning engineers.
Step 3 Check hardware installation and antenna alignment.
● Verify that the polarization directions of the antennas meet the network plan
requirements. When an OptiX RTN 380 or hybrid coupler is being installed,
the polarization directions of feed ports are the same.
● Verify that the main lobes of the antennas are aligned.

7.4 Configuring the Network Topology

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

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

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

NOTE
This solution supports a maximum of 120 NEs in RTN 380Housing an SHUF3 Board.
● 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.
NOTE
This solution supports a maximum of 30 NEs in RTN 380Housing an SHUF3 Board.

The RTN 300 also supports the HWECC solution, which is eliminated gradually.
NE Types on the DCN

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

DCN Flags
An NE on the DCN must be configured with two DCN flags: NE ID and NE IP
address.
An NE ID is used for application layer communication. An NE ID contains three
bytes among which the most significant byte represents the extended ID and the
other two bytes represent the basic ID. For example, if the extended ID is 9 and
the basic ID is 1, the NE ID is represented as 9-1.
An NE IP address is used for IP communication. By default, the NE IP address and

NE ID of an NE are associated. Specifically, the last three bytes of the NE IP
address correspond to the three bytes of the NE ID. For example, if an NE ID is
changed to 9-1, the corresponding NE IP address automatically changes to
129.9.0.1.
When an NE IP address is changed manually, the association relationship between
the NE ID and NE IP address becomes ineffective.

7.4.1.2 IP DCN
This section describes the basic knowledge about IP DCN.
Application of the IP DCN Solution

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

IP DCN Protocol Stack

To implement IP DCN, all NEs on the DCN must support the IP protocol stack. IP
DCN uses the standard TCP/IP protocol stack architecture.
● 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.
Forwarding DCN Packets Based on the IP Protocol Stack

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

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

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

Traversing the L2 Network

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

When the third-party L2 network is located between two networks comprised of

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

You can obtain the clear fiber/cable connection relationship between NEs by using
the fiber management function of the NCE. You can also use the NCE to manage
fibers and cables, including Ethernet fibers/cables, microwave links.
● Ethernet fibers/cables
Ethernet fibers/cables refer to the Ethernet fiber/cable connections between
Ethernet optical/electrical ports on different sets of equipment.

● 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.
7.4.2 Configuration Process (Network Topology)

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

7.5.3 Configuration Example (Microwave Links with 1+1

Protection)
This section describes how to configure a microwave link hop configured with 1+1
HSB protection.

Figure 7-13 shows a hop of important microwave link. Two OptiX RTN 380
devices are cascaded at each site for receiving two channels of GE services (from
RAN 1 and RAN 2) from the OptiX RTN 900 convergence node. 1+1 HSB
protection is configured to guarantee reliable transmission of the GE services.
● Enable AMAC for the microwave links.

NOTE
The following procedure takes configuring NE1 as an example.
Procedure
Step 1 Delete the default E-LAN service.
NOTE
By default, an OptiX RTN 380 NE is configured with a bridge-based E-LAN service which is
mounted to all ports. In this example, the COMBO port functions as a 1+1 cascade port cannot
carry Ethernet services. If it carries Ethernet services, 1+1 protection cannot be created.
Therefore, delete the E-LAN service before configuring E-LAN or E-Line services according to the
service plan.

Step 2 Configure a LAG for each Ethernet service access port on the main and standby
NEs. This step explains how to configure LAG1 on NE1 and NE3.
Take NE1 for example:
Step 3 Create a microwave 1+1 protection group on the main and standby NEs.

7.5.4 Configuration Example ( PLA-Protected Microwave

Links )
This section describes how to configure a PLA-protected microwave link.

As shown in Figure 7-15, to balance the Ethernet bandwidth utilization on links,

the Ethernet service transmission channels in the link between NE1 and NE2 and
the link between NE3 and NE4 need to be bound as a single transmission channel
(namely, a PLA group). PLA without NE-level protection is configured between
NE1 and NE3 and between NE2 and NE4.
Figure 7-15 Networking of links with PLA protection


This section describes the procedure for configuration.
Data Preparation
NOTE
The following procedure takes configuring NE1 as an example.
Context
In the networking shown in Figure 7-16, when the RTN 380A/RTN 380AX is used
to implement cascading PLA:
● If NE 1 is a gateway NE, configure PLA on NEs in the following sequence: NE
4, NE 2, NE 3, NE 1.
● If NE 2 is a gateway NE, configure PLA on NEs in the following sequence: NE
4, NE 2, NE 1, NE 3.
Procedure
Step 1 Delete the default E-LAN service.
NOTE
By default, an OptiX RTN 380 NE is configured with a bridge-based E-LAN service which is
mounted to all ports. In this example, the COMBO port functions as a 1+1 cascade port cannot
carry Ethernet services. If it carries Ethernet services, 1+1 protection cannot be created.
Therefore, delete the E-LAN service before configuring E-LAN or E-Line services according to the
service plan.

Step 2 Release the QoS policy bound to a cascade port.

7.6.2 Ethernet Service Types

Native Ethernet services are classified into six types.
7.6.2.1 Transparently Transmitted Point-to-Point E-Line Service

The transparently transmitted point-to-point Ethernet line (E-Line) service is the
basic E-Line model. Point-to-point transmission does not involve service
bandwidth sharing, service isolation, or service distinguishing. Instead, Ethernet
services are transparently transmitted between two service access points.
Service Model
Table 7-19 describes the transparently transmitted point-to-point E-Line service
model.

Typical Application
Figure 7-19 shows the typical application of transparently transmitted point-to-
point E-Line service model.
Figure 7-19 Typical application of Transparently transmitted point-to-point E-Line

service model
In model 1, Ethernet service 1 is transmitted to NE1 through port 1, regardless of

whether the Ethernet service carries an unknown VLAN ID or no VLAN ID. Port 1
transparently transmits Ethernet service 1 to port 2. Port 2 transmits Ethernet
service 1 to NE2. Service processing on NE2 is the same as that on NE1.
In model 2, Ethernet service 1 is transmitted to NE1 through port 1, regardless of
whether the Ethernet service carries an unknown VLAN ID or no VLAN ID. Port 1
and Port 2 process the incoming packets based on their own TAG attributes or
QinQ-class domain. Then, Port 2 sends Ethernet service 1 to NE2. Service
processing on NE2 is the same as that on NE1.

7.6.2.2 VLAN-based E-Line Service

You can use VLANs to separate Ethernet line (E-Line) services, which allows the E-
Line services to share one physical transmission channel. E-Line services separated
in this manner are called VLAN-based E-Line services.
Service Model
Table 7-20 provides information about the VLAN-based E-Line service model.

Typical Application
Figure 7-20 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).
● Services 1, 2, 3, and 4 carry different VLAN IDs.
● On NE 1, services 1 and 2 are received at port 2 and port 3, respectively, and
forwarded through port 1. They share the same channel but are isolated by
VLANs.
● On NE 2, services 3 and 4 are received at port 2 and port 3, respectively, and
forwarded through port 1. They share the same channel but are isolated by
VLANs.
● On NE 3, services 1 and 2 are received at port 2, services 3 and 4 are received
at port 3, and all four services are forwarded through port 1. All the services
share the same channel but are isolated by VLANs.

● Ports 2 and 3 on NE 1, NE 2, and NE 3 process incoming Ethernet frames

based on their tag attributes and transmit the Ethernet frames to port 1. Port
1 processes outgoing Ethernet frames based on its tag attribute. Because the
services have different VLAN IDs, they can share ports 1 on NE 1, NE 2, and
NE 3.
Figure 7-20 VLAN-based E-Line service model
7.6.2.3 QinQ-Based E-Line Services

S-VLAN tags can be used to separate several E-Line services so that these services
share one physical channel for transmission. Therefore, S-VLAN tags can separate
more services than C-VLAN tags. These services are called QinQ-based E-Line
services.
Service Model
Table 7-21 shows the QinQ-based E-Line service models.

Ethernet frames to the

QinQ link is connected.

(corresponding to the

4(2) (source) QinQ (sink) transmits the Ethernet
QinQ link (sink) frames that carry a
specific S-VLAN tag
(corresponding to the
source QinQ link) to the
sink port to which the
sink QinQ link is
connected. If the source
and sink QinQ links have
different S-VLAN tags, S-
VLAN tag swapping
occurs.

Typical Application
Figure 7-21 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.
Figure 7-21 Typical application of service model 1

Service 1 and service 2 carry different unknown C-VLAN tags. Service 1 is
transmitted to NE1 through port 1, and service 2 is transmitted to NE1 through
port 2. Port 1 adds an S-VLAN tag to service 1, and port 2 adds another S-VLAN
tag to service 2. Service 1 and service 2 are then transmitted to port 3. Port 3
transmits service 1 and service 2 to NE2.


Service 1 and service 2 carry different C-VLAN tags. Service 1 is transmitted to NE1
through port 1, and service 2 is transmitted to NE1 through port 2. Port 1 adds an
S-VLAN tag to service 1, and port 2 adds another S-VLAN tag to service 2. Service
1 and service 2 are then transmitted to port 3. Port 3 transmits service 1 and
service 2 to NE2.

Service 1 and service 2 carry the same S-VLAN tag. Service 1 is transmitted to NE1
through port 1, and service 2 is transmitted to NE1 through port 2. Port 1 changes
the S-VLAN tag carried in service 1 and port 2 changes the S-VLAN tag carried in
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.

7.6.2.4 IEEE 802.1D Bridge-based E-LAN Services

Ethernet local area network (E-LAN) services that are forwarded based only on
the MAC address table are called IEEE 802.1D bridge-based E-LAN services.
Service Model
Table 7-22 shows the IEEE 802.1D bridge-based E-LAN service model.

Typical Application
Figure 7-25 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.
Figure 7-25 IEEE 802.1D bridge-based E-LAN service model
7.6.2.5 IEEE 802.1Q Bridge-based E-LAN Services

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

LAN services separated in this manner are called IEEE 802.1Q bridge-based E-LAN
services.
Service Model
Table 7-23 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 7-26 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.

Figure 7-26 IEEE 802.1Q bridge-based E-LAN service model
7.6.2.6 802.1ad Bridge-based E-LAN Services

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

from the V-UNI.

Typical Application
Figure 7-27 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.

You can also configure 7.6.2.3 QinQ-Based E-Line Services on NE2 and NE3 for service
access.
7.6.3 Configuration Process

The service configuration process differs according to the specific service type.
