optical interface. The NE reports an alarm
and buzzes.
Turn the ALC switch down and check whether
the alarm sound stops in three seconds.

Checking Fiber Connection
Step Action
1 At the client ODF, connect the transmitting (Tx) and receiving (Rx)
optical interfaces of an SDH analyzer with the Rx and Tx optical
interfaces of an OTU board.
2 At the line ODF, loopback the IN and OUT optical interfaces of the
FIU board ensuring a 10 dB attenuator.
3 Send optical signals to the OTU board through the Tx optical interface
of the SDH analyzer. And then the Rx optical interface of the SDH
analyzer should receive the signals after loopback. It indicates the fiber
connection is correct.

4 Check the fiber connection of other OTU boards in the same way.

Monitoring
Use the T2000 to set performance
and alarm monitoring.

Station
All NEs should be accessed
through NM. If any NE cannot be
accessed, check the fiber

the SCC unit restores to normal
operation automatically upon data
loss or power failure.

2 Switch on the subrack after ten minutes and check whether the boards run
normally.
3 Check whether the services operate normally. Test some typical services and
make sure there is no bit error or abnormal performance event.

Network Commissioning
Network commissioning aims to:
Connect all NEs in a network in line with the
engineering design scheme.
Test services of the network to verify the
configuration.
Test required functions for the network, such
as orderwire and protection switching.
Test long-term communication quality of the
network through alarm and performance event.

Checking Network-Wide Fiber Connections
Step Action
1 Measure the optical power . Make sure the FIU boards receive the optical
signal from the opposite station.
2 Measure the optical power from the OUT interface of the FIU.
3 Check the fiber connection and the line attenuation between other adjacent
stations in the same way.
In this commissioning sub-item, check the following two items:
Whether the transmitting and receiving optical interfaces of the
line cables are connected correctly.Test required functions for the
network, such as orderwire and protection switching.
Whether the optical attenuation in the line is normal.
Internal Use 19
Testing the Supervisory Channel
Step Action
1 Check the fiber connection of the OSC unit
2 Use an optical power meter to measure the transmitting optical power of the
OSC boards. It should range from 3 dBm to 6 dBm.
3 Use the 10 dB optical attenuator to adjust the actual receiving optical power of
the OSC boards to 30 dBm.
The OptiX Metro 6100 can offer two modes of supervisory:
Whether the optical attenuation in the line is normal.
Optical supervisory channel (OSC)
Electric supervisory channel (ESC)
Testing OSC
Testing ESC
When the OTU starts to work and the service is normal, the ESC route is set up.

Adjusting optical power
the main operation is to use optical attenuators to adjust the
following optical power values.:
Input optical power of the optical amplifier at the transmit end.
Input optical power of the optical amplifier at the receive end.
Input optical power of OTU at the WDM side.

Adjusting Input Optical Power of the Optical
Amplifier at the Receive End
For stations equipped with optical amplifiers, adjust the optical power of any
single-wavelength in the input signal of the optical amplifier at transmit end to
the prescribed typical value.
At the receive end, adjust the optical power of the multiplexed signal
coming from the line until the single wavelength optical power reaches the
typical value.
The optical power formula is: Pm=Ps + lgN
Pm : Optical power of multiplexed signal
Ps : Optical power of single wavelength signal
N : Number of wavelengths in multiplexed signal
