MICROWAVE COMMUNICATION

Microwave is a form of high frequency radio signal (operating at thousands of MHz) in which the

signal is not broadcast but is transmitted in a straight line through the air .

Go to Web Lct soft Folder and click on start web lct file
Step 3: select 1 for English it will take up to 3 minutes
Now we login to the software web lct
user name: admin
password: Changeme_123
Now the soft is directed to internet browser
click on NE search shown in arrow head
Click on advance search
Select the arrowed pointed NE which means our eth cable connected to this RTN or NE
Click on add NE the NE will be added
NE added successfully and communication status is Normal and it must be normal in order to login the RTN
Click On NE login and enter the password
Click on NE explorer and we will login to the RTN now
Now we have successfully login the RTN

VISIBILTY OF MW LINK
• MW IP
• SUBNET MASK
• GATEWAY IP
• VLAN ID
• All these IP Vlan id will provide by BOTX
IP PLAN FROM THE BOTX
Click on Communication and select DCN Management then ACCESS CONTROL
enter mw IP and subnet mask
Step: 2 click on communication and then communication parameters choose comm parameter
setting
enter the GATEWAY IP apply & query
Step 3: VLAN = Click on Communication and select DCN Management & Bandwith
management and drop VLAN ID provided by BOTX
after these steps RTN will be visible to BOTX
Alarms
HARD _BD Alarm= need to change RTN in case of E Band RTN

in case of common band mw need to replace the IF Board like ISV3 ISM6 ISM8
Alarm =BD_STATUS Need to Change the ODU
 ALARM TSL_LOW
1= ODU FAULTY
2= POWER FROM IF BOARD TO ODU IS ABNORMAL
 ALARM =INPOWER LOW
Appear on Optical ports
troubleshoot: clean The SFP or Fibre or check any bend in the fibre if still need to change
ythe SFP or Fibre
ALARM=ETH _LINK_DOWN
CAUSE 1=FIBRE CONNECTED TO INCORRECT PORT
2= BOARD FAULTY
3 CHECK FIBRE
