Commissioning Guide 3 Network Commissioning
3 Network Commissioning
About This Chapter
This chapter describes the commissioning items and methods concerning network
commissioning.
3.1 Testing Received Optical Power of an Optical Interface Board

3.2 Checking Network-Wide Fiber Connection
Fibers are connected in different manners for different networking schemes. If fibers are
connected in an incorrect manner, errors may be caused to the later commissioning. More
seriously, the running services may even be affected. To avoid incorrect fiber connection, the
network topology must be provided to check the fiber connection. This section describes how
to check network-wide fiber connection.
3.3 Checking Connection of an NM Computer to the Equipment
The NM software runs on the NM computer to manage equipment. If the computer is connected
in an incorrect manner, the NM cannot manage the NEs. To prevent the incorrect connection of
the NM computer, check the connection between the NM computer and the NEs. This section
describes how to check the connection of the NM computer.
3.4 Creating and Configuring Network
After the check of the fiber connection and the connection of the NM computer, use the T2000
to create and configure the network. This commissioning item is performed to make sure that
the T2000 can manage all NEs and fulfill the later network commissioning tasks.
3.5 Querying Network-Wide Software Versions
The version of the equipment must in line with the cartoon list. Query and check the versions
to make sure the correct equipment is delivered. This section describes how to query NE versions.
3.6 Testing Clock Protection Switching
The clock protection switching is performed to protect NE clocks and to make sure that the
clocks of all NEs are synchronous. If the protection switching cannot be performed normally,
the clocks may become faulty and services are severely affected. To prevent clock failure, it is
necessary to perform the clock protection switching.

3 Network Commissioning Commissioning Guide
3.7 Testing Orderwire Phone

The orderwire phone can be used for audio communication between NEs. The test is performed
to check if the orderwire phone is installed and placed in a correct manner. This task is performed
to ensure that the network-wide orderwire phone works normally.
3.8 Testing Network Protection Switching
The network protection schemes are configured to protect services. The protection switching
must be normal. Otherwise, services cannot be protected in case of network fault. Hence, it is
necessary to test the network protection switching. This section describes how to test the network
protection switching.
3.9 Testing Ethernet Service Channels
If network cables are incorrectly connected or are faulty, the Ethernet service channels may go
faulty. Services are then affected. Hence, the Ethernet service channels must be normal. This
section describes how to test Ethernet service channels.
3.10 Testing Point-to-Point BER
The network-wide BER is tested at the end of the network commissioning. The test is performed
to discover potential problems of service channels and to ensure service stability. This section
describes how to test network-wide BER.

3.1 Testing Received Optical Power of an Optical Interface

Board
Check if the received optical power has been tested in the NE commissioning. If yes, skip this
test item. If not, refer to 2.10.2 Testing Received Optical Power of an Optical Interface
Board.
3.2 Checking Network-Wide Fiber Connection

Fibers are connected in different manners for different networking schemes. If fibers are
connected in an incorrect manner, errors may be caused to the later commissioning. More
seriously, the running services may even be affected. To avoid incorrect fiber connection, the
network topology must be provided to check the fiber connection. This section describes how
to check network-wide fiber connection.
Prerequisite
The network topology must be known to the commissioning personnel. The board must be seated
snugly and operate normally.
Tools and Meters

None
Procedure
Step 1 Check the fiber connection at each node according to the network topology.
l Check the fiber connection of a two-fiber ring. See Figure 3-1.
l Check the fiber connection of a four-fiber ring. See Figure 3-2.
l Check the fiber connection of an unprotected chain. See Figure 3-3.
l Check the fiber connection of a 1+1 or 1:1 linear MS. See Figure 3-4.
l Check the fiber connection of a 1:N (N≤14) linear MS. See Figure 3-5.
NOTE
Optical fibers in a ring network (two-fiber ring or four-fiber ring) are required to be connected along the
direction of the primary ring (anti-clockwise). That is, the east line board at the local station is connected
with the west line board at the opposite station.
Step 2 If you are on the commissioning site, check the indicators on line boards of NEs. The SRV
indicator should not be red.

NOTE
If the SRV is not lit and red, it indicates that the optical interface can receive optical signals. If some optical
interfaces are not used, the SRV indicator should be lit and red. In this case, you can use the T2000 to query
alarms and to check if the board works normally.
----End
NOTE
For easy illustration and configuration of two pairs of the optical interfaces at an ADM station, suppose
the observer is standing outside the ring, facing the NE, the optical interfaces on the left is defined as the
westward interfaces and the right optical interfaces are defined as the east interfaces. Be default, services
are sent in the east and received in the west.

organized into cells. It is asynchronous in the sense that the recurrence of
cells containing information from an individual user is not necessarily
periodic. It is a protocol within the OSI layer 1. An ATM cell consists of a 5
octet header followed by 48 octets of data.
attenuation Reduction of signal magnitude or signal loss, usually expressed in decibels.
attenuator A passive component that attenuates an electrical or optical signal.
attribute Property of an object.
cabling frame The frame which is used for cable routing over the cabinet.
cabling The methods to route the cables or fibers.

are available to a certain user.
drop The port on a network element where the service to an end customer may be
connected, e.g., a tributary card on a SONET ADM. For example, a drop for
a DS1 customer service may be provided by a VT1.5 card terminating a
VT1.5 trail.
ejector lever A component at the two ends of the front panel of a board, which is used for
inserting or removing the board.
Ethernet A data link level protocol comprising the OSI model's bottom two layers. It
is a broadcast networking technology that can use several different physical
media, including twisted pair cable and coaxial cable. Ethernet usually uses
CSMA/CD. TCP/IP is commonly used with Ethernet networks.
fiber A device mounted on the end of a fiber-optic cable, light source, receiver, or
connector housing that mates to a similar device to couple light into and out of optical
fibers. A connector joins two fiber ends, or one fiber end and a light source
or detector.
fiber jumper The fiber which is used to connect the subrack with the ODF.
frame A cyclic set of consecutive time slots in which the relative position of each
time slot can be identified.
hardware A method to use a fiber to connect the receiving optical interface with the
loopback transmitting one on a board. It performs transmission tests, which method
usually does not require the assistance of personnel at the served terminal.
A-2 Huawei Technologies Proprietary Issue 01 (2007-06-15)

jitter Short waveform variations caused by vibration, voltage fluctuations, control

system instability, etc.
label A mark on a cable, a subrack, or a cabinet for identification.
laser The device that generates the directional light covering a narrow range of
wavelengths. Laser light is more coherent than ordinary light. Semiconductor
diode lasers are the used light source in fiber-optic system.
loopback The fault of each path on the optical fiber can be located by setting loopback
for each path of the line. There are three kinds of loopback modes: No
loopback, Outloop, Inloop.
mapping A procedure by which tributaries are adapted into virtual containers at the
boundary of an SDH network.
mean The average power of a pseudo-random data sequence coupled into the fiber
launched by the transmitter.
power
MSP The MSP function provides capability for switching a signal between and
including two MST functions, from a working to a protection channel.
multiplex To transmit two or more signals over a single channel.
multiplexer An equipment which combines a number of tributary channels onto a fewer

number of aggregate bearer channels, the relationship between the tributary
and aggregate channels being fixed.
multiplexing A procedure by which multiple lower order path layer signals are adapted
into a higher order path or the multiple higher order path layer signals are
adapted into a multiplex section.
NE explorer NE Explorer is the main operation interface of the T2000. For easy
navigation, the NE Explorer window presents an expandable directory tree
(Function Tree) in the lower left pane. The configuration, management and
maintenance of the equipment are accessed here.
NE ID A unique identifier to which each NE corresponds in a network. In the OptiX

transmission equipment, it is specified that the NE ID is a 24-bit binary digit,
that is, three bytes. The DIP switch on the SCC board of the NE constitutes
the lower 16 bits of the NE ID. The higher eight bits of the NE ID is the
extended ID (default value: 9), which is also called the subnet number. The
extended ID is typically used to identify different subnets.

A Glossary Commissioning Guide
non-revertive In non-revertive mode, when a protection switch occurs, the working service
will be switched to the protection service and the status will remain after it
returns normal.
ODF Optical Distribution Frame. A frame which is used to transfer and spool
fibers.
optical A device to allow two or more corresponding optical transmitting units to be

interface connected.
PDH Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy.
pointer An indicator whose value defines the frame offset of a virtual container with
respect to the frame reference of the transport entity on which it is supported.
receiver Receiver overload is the maximum acceptable value of the received average
overload power at point R to achieve a 1 x 10-10 BER.
receiver Receiver sensitivity is defined as the minimum acceptable value of average

sensitivity received power at point R to achieve a 1 x 10-10 BER.
ring network One type of network that all network nodes are connected one after one to
be a cycle.
SDH Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. A hierarchical set of digital transport

structures, standardized for the transport of suitably adapted payloads over
physical transmission networks.
search The range of IP addresses being searched.

domain
subnet mask Also referred to as the network mask off code. It is used to define network
segments, so that only the computers in the same network segment can
communicate with one another, thus suppressing broadcast storm between
different network segments.
synchronous A network where transmission system payloads are synchronized to a master

(network) clock and traced to a reference clock.
A-4 Huawei Technologies Proprietary Issue 01 (2007-06-15)

T2000 The T2000 is a subnet management system (SNMS). In the

telecommunication management network architecture, the T2000 is located
between the NE level and network level, which can supports all NE level
functions and part of the network level management functions.
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Common name for the

suite of protocols developed to support the construction of worldwide internet
works.
timeslot Single timeslot on an E1 digital interface — that is, a 64-kbps, synchronous,

full-duplex data channel, typically used for a single voice connection.
TPS Tributary Protection Switching. A function provided by the equipment, is

intended to protect N tributary processing boards through a standby tributary
processing board.
tributary A fault location method. A fault can be located for each service path by
loopback performing loopback on each path of the tributary board. There are three
types of loopback modes: Non-loopback, Outloop and Inloop.
unprotected Services transmitted through an ordinary way, once a failure or interruption

occurs, the data cannot be restored for lack of protection mechanism.
user The user of the T2000 client, and the user and password define the
corresponding authority of operation and management of the T2000.
washer A washer which is used to level the cabinet.
WDM Wavelength-Division Multiplexing.
working A specific service that is part of a protection group and is labeled working.
service
WTR time A period of time that must elapse before a – from a fault recovered – trail/
connection can be used again to transport the normal traffic signal and/or to
select the normal traffic signal from.
WTR Wait to Restore.
