Laser safety precautions
l Personnel Safety
n Laser on optical interface board sends infrared light and may cause
permanent damage. Do not look straight into the optical interface to
protect your eyes from being damaged by laser.
n Optical power output of DWDM is usually very high, it is necessary to
protect your skin from being burnt by laser.
l Equipment Damage
n Unused optical interface and fiber pigtail connector shall be covered
with dustproof caps.
n If a fiber pigtail is used in the hardware loopback, an optical attenuator
must be added before the optical receiving port in order to control the
input power.
n The maximum optical receiving power must be in allowed range.

Anti-static Precautions
l Before touching equipment and boards, put on the antistatic wrist strap to
connect the human body and plug the other end of the anti-static wrist in
anti-static jack of equipment sub-frame.
l Wear anti-static gloves before touching other electric elements on boards
such as IC.

Power Maintenance and Precautions


l Never install or remove powered equipment.
l Never install or remove power cable of powered equipment.
l Risk prevention and insulating treatment for short-circuit during
engineering.
l Confirm whether cables and cable labels match with actual installation
before connection.

Anti-Static
l Store unused boards in anti-static bags.
l Put on the anti-static wrist strap to connect the human body with
the equipment protection ground before touching the board.
Damp Proof
l Normally, a bag of desiccant is put in the static-shielding bag,
which is used to absorb the moisture in the bag and keep the bag
inside dry.
Board Mechanical Safety
l Avoid board vibration during transportation as it can easily lead to
board damage.

After connecting the fiber to corresponding port, reserve some
residual fibers and coil them on fiber coiling box.
l Do not coil fibers overtight.
l Never press or squeeze fibers.
l Fiber bending diameter is not less than 10cm.
The fiber pulled out must be cleaned up.

Cleaning
Before clean the fiber, ensure that the fiber is disconnected
from active elements and is lightless completely.
Hold fiber connector and clean end surface of ceramic pin with
dust-free paper. Drag fiber cleaning paper slowly and straightly
along end surface toward one direction. Repeat above
operations two or three times, and then spray compressed gas
to pin faces after they are dry.
Check end surface of connector.

The inputting of OA is normal, but the outputting of OA is no light.

or inner fiber of EDFA fails.
l Handling
1. Check MON optical power of OA board (OBA/OLA:OUT power=MON
power+23dB,OPA:OUT powerMON power+16dB), if the optical
power is normal, the alarm may be caused by the inner fiber of EDFA.
2. Check if the OA driver current or backlight current is normal via EMS.
If not, check the cable connection of EDFA. If the connection is
normal, the board maybe fail, it is considered to replace the board.
3. APSD status: OA downstream fiber or OA reverse upstream fiber
breaks down. APSD function makes OA stop pump automatically,
and periodically sends recovery pulses to test fiber. Thus, the board
works normally.

4. Judge alarm type of the relevant board (upstream or downstream
board ): If an OTU board has no inputting light, then it is
necessary to check the inputting light status of other OTUs, OPA
and ODU at this site, as well as the outputting light status of the

5. Fault analysis: refer to the above power budget configuration
model. If all OTUs have no inputting light, the main optical
channel on multiplexing layer must be fail. Check the status of
OPA & ODU. If other OTUs are normal, a certain channel must
be fail, please check the outputting status of the previous OTU.
6. Fault handling: after confirm the fault and its location, replace the
board or repair the circuit, or clean the optical interface.
7. Fault elimination
8. Compare the current performance with the history performance of
the relative boards on EMS: Query the current performance on
EMS, check if other fault exists, if the fault is recovered totally, if
the adjustment is needed.

During the process of inspecting a site, we find that the third

PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com


Case
Case 11
Handling:
l LOF and LOS alarms happen on the third channel of OTU10G by
the query on EMS.
l Firstly, it doubts that the loopback is incorrectly. But after the fiber
at IN port of OTU10G is pulled out, the inputting optical power on
EMS is still -9.32 dBm.
l Query the history performance, we find that the inputting optical
power has kept -9.32 dBm since Feb. this year even no actual
inputting.
l At site, disable the FEC function of the board and test the board
performance by 10 G meter. Then the board cant work normally,
and the signal channel is abnormal, which means the board is
damaged. So apply for a new board to replace the bad one.

62

Case
Case 11
Reflections :
l The receiving optical module of the board is obviously damaged.
The receiving optical module of the third channel of OTU10G at
this site is APD, and the overloading point is -9 dBm.

Pay attention that the receiving optical power should not be too
high to burn the board.

63

PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com


Case
Case 22
During the process of inspecting a site, find that the tenth
channel can not pass through the channel error code test
because the error code occurs every 1-2 minutes. On EMS, all
the boards of the channel dont report the error code.

64

PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com


Case
Case 22
Handling
l Test the error code by using OTUR of the other wavelength. If no
error codes occurs again, it is considered that OTUR 10 G is
failure. Disable its FEC function and test it by meter, the error
codes are still existed but not displayed on EMS, which means the
module of the board is failure. Replace the module, after that the
error codes are disappeared.

65

PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com


Case
Case 22
Reflections
l If the error codes occur during the process of channel testing.
Firstly, check the board where error codes occur by EMS. If no
board reports error codes, check if the optical module of OTUR is
wrong. Finally, test the board and replace the board after
confirming the fault.

Case 33
On March 29th, the maintenance personnel find that 24-hour
history performance is lost.

67

PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com


Case
Case 33
Handling
l All of the 15-minute history performances are lost, which maybe
caused by the resetting of SNP.
l The default interval of reporting performance of SNP is 2 hours,
so 15-minute performances during 2 hours are lost after the
resetting of SNP. The 24-hour performance is also lost because it
is the 24-hour performance reporting time when SNP is reset.

68

PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com


Case
Case 33
Reflections
l On EMS, the time interval of SNP reporting performance data can
be set as 30 minutes, which increases the ECC communication
burden. It is not beneficial to the communication of NE.
l Automatic reset is caused by many reasons, but the primary
reason is that the SNP receiving & transmitting packet is abnormal
during a certain period. Detect circuit to reset SNP, which can
recover the communication but the performance in a certain
period will be lost then.

overtime information is reported when the performances of the
OA and SRM board are queried.

70

PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com


Case
Case 44
Handling
l The fault still exists after an OA board is reset. The selected
performance parameter can be queried by EMS. The abnormal
communication between SNP and S port results in the fault.
Resetting the SNP board via EMS can solve the problem. Thus,
the performance events can be queried normally.
