Commissioning Optical Power of OTU Board

The overload of the APD receiver laser is -9 dBm. If the input optical power is higher, the APD laser may be damaged. Therefore, it is recommended that you insert the fiber loosely from the input optical port of the OTU during commissioning. After commissioning, make sure the input optical power is lower than the receiver overload before you insert the fiber.


Forcing the OTU Board to Emit Light

This section describes how to force the OTU board to emit light.

Prerequisites

The NE must be created on the U2000.

Tools, Equipment, and Materials

U2000

Background Information

The signals accessed on the client side or the WDM side should be service signals in actual transmission, or the optical signals generated by forcing the board to emit light.
The WDM side of the OTU board by default is forced to emit light. If it does not emit light, refer to the following procedure to query whether the board is forced to emit light. If the board is not forced to emit light, set the board to emit light.

Precautions

  • The prerequisite for commissioning the ESC (Electric Supervisory Channel) is that the OTU is forced to emit light.

Procedure

  1. In the NE Explorer window, select the desired OTU and choose Configuration > WDM Interface from the Function Tree.
  2. Select Channel from the drop-down list.
  3. Optional: Click the Basic Attributes tab. Set the Automatic Laser Shutdown of the optical port on the WDM side of the OTU to DISABLE.
    Only the LWX2, LWXD and LWXS can set Automatic Laser Shutdown of the WDM side.
  4. Set the Laser Status of the optical port on the WDM side of the OTU to OPEN.
  5. Click Apply.

Adjusting the Input Optical Power of OTU Board

ools, Equipment, and Materials

Optical power meter

Precautions

Before the equipment is powered on, verify that the fixed optical attenuator is configured according to the configuration rules. Verify the input optical power of the OTU (including the WDM side and client side) is lower than the receiver overload to avoid damage to the optical module during commissioning. Note that the overload of the APD receiver laser is only -9 dBm. Adjust the input optical power at the IN port on the WDM side of the OTU to ensure that the input optical power is within the optimal range: from -14 dBm to -25 dBm.For the specifications about the sensitivity and overload point of the OTU board.

Commissioning Requirements

  • Adjust the input optical power at the IN port on the WDM side of the OTU to ensure that the input optical power is within the optimal range: from -12 dBm to -5 dBm; adjust the input optical power at the RXn port on the client side of the OTU to ensure that the input optical power is within the optimal range: from (sensitivity +3) dBm to (overload point -2) dBm.
  • Confirm the optical preamplifier on the WDM side of the OTU at the receive end has output the standard optical power of single wavelength. When this occurs, the input optical power on the WDM side can be adjusted based on the actual optical power by adding, changing or removing the fixed optical attenuators.
  • After commissioning, insert a fiber into the input optical port on the OTU when the input optical power reaches a normal state.

New user cannot be created on U2000 due to a version bug

Issue Description
When customer was creating a new U2000 user, he got the error message:
Failed to connect to the server. The reason may be:
1. The client cannot find the server. Please check the server configuration.
2. The server status is abnormal. Please ensure that all the services work normally
U2000 version is V100R002C00SPC001
Alarm Information
N/A
Handling Process
1. First check in the System Monitor all processes are running normally.
2. When you create a user, in the Advanced attributes, modify the period limit according the attached picture. Sometimes you can create the new user by doing this. In case you get  "Invalid login time period. Please reset again" or "Invalid login duration" error message go to next step.
3. This problem is solved in patch CP0102. But it is suggested setup patch CP1105 directly which can relosve more issues.
Root Cause
This is a bug in the current software version.

How Is the VoIP Service Implemented on Huawei MA5600T by Setting the electronic Switch?

Huawei MA5600T supports the VoIP service only when the electronic switch is already switched to the VoIP daughter board. By default, Huawei MA5600T does not support the VoIP service.
Since V800R005, the VoIP service has been supported.
The MA5600T provides the following two electronic switches:
  • Electronic switch 0: Used for determining whether the port on the control board or the port on the upstream interface board of the MA5600T is used for upstream transmission.
    • If the electronic switch is on location-0, it indicates that the control board is used for upstream transmission.
    • If the electronic switch is on location-1, it indicates that the upstream interface board is used for upstream transmission.
    • By default, electronic switch 0 is on location-0.
  • Electronic switch 1: Used for determining whether Huawei OLT supports the VoIP service or supports upstream transmission through port 0/20/3.
    • If the electronic switch is on location-0, it indicates that the electronic switch is switched to the VoIP daughter board and thus supporting the VoIP service.
    • If the electronic switch is on location-1, it indicates that the electronic switch is switched to port 0/20/3. Then, port 0/20/3 serves as the upstream port.
    • By default, electronic switch 1 is on location-1, indicating that the VoIP service is not supported.
  • The SCUL OLT main control board does not support the VoIP service and does not provide the upstream port; thus, services are upstream transmitted by only the upstream interface board.
  • The SCUL control board does not support the electronic switch
