3 Disabling Service-Affecting Settings
Automatically
This section describes how to disable the service-affecting settings automatically. Service-
affecting operations, such as loopback and laser shutdown, can be automatically disabled. That
is, when the time for performing a service-affecting operation exceeds a certain period, the
operation is disabled automatically.
Prerequisites
Impact on System
l If a port is the only way that an NE communicates with the U2000, performing loopback
or laser shutdown at the port will result in loss of communication. Before performing
loopback or laser shutdown, you must set automatic disabling for this NE. Otherwise, after
the communication is lost, you cannot use the U2000 to log in to the NE to disable loopback
or laser shutdown.
l The IPA function is used to shut down lasers on OA boards and Raman boards when a fiber
is cut, so as to avoid personal injuries. For security reasons, Auto Disabling for IPA
Disable can only be set to Enabled.
l Disabling service-affecting settings automatically does not apply to WDM-side lasers on
the PID board.

l Provide a greater system margin and guarantee a lower BER rate in the line transmission
to improve the quality of service (QoS) in the DWDM network.
The AFEC is a new error correction technique. It adopts two-level encoding, increases encoding
gain, and equally distributes the burst errors. AFEC is more powerful than FEC.

55 Creating NEs in Batches
When the U2000 or Web LCT communicates properly with a GNE, you can search for all NEs
that communicate with the GNE by using the IP address of the GNE or the network segment to
which the IP address is associated. Then, you can create NEs in batches. This method is quicker
and more accurate than manual creation. Therefore, the method of creating NEs in batches is
recommended.
Prerequisites
l You are an NMS user with "Administrators" authority.
l The U2000 must communicate properly with the GNE.
l The NE Explorer instance of the NEs must be created.
For Web LCT, only NEs that use the Ethernet port to communicate can be searched out and the
IP address of the Web LCT and that of the NE to be created are in the same network segment.
U2000 or Web LCT
1. Choose File > Discovery > NE... from the Main Menu. The NE Discovery window is

l If you use IP address to search for NEs:
l only the NEs (not across routers) in the same network segment can be searched out
in normal conditions if you select the IP Address Range of GNE because
broadcasting is usually disabled for the routers in the network (to prevent network
storm).
l search out the NEs in the network segment by using the IP Address of GNE if you
need to search for the NEs across routers.
l If you search for NEs by using the NSAP address, you can only select NSAP
Address.
c. In the Search for NE dialog box, you can perform the following operations:
Select Create NE after search, and enter NE user and Password.
NOTE
l The default NE user is root.
l The default password is password.
Select Upload after being created, so that the NE data can be uploaded to the

Precautions
NOTICE
After changing the NE IP by U2000:
l If the IP address of the NE and the IP address of the NMS server are in the same network
segment, the communication between the NMS and the NE is normal. In this case, you only
need to re-log in to the NE.
l If the IP address of the NE and the IP address of the NMS server are in different network
segments, the communication between the NMS and the NE stops. In this case, set a new
IP address for the computer where NMS is installed to restore the communication. Ensure
that it is in the same IP subnet segment as the original NE IP. Because of the restriction of
the SQL database, after you have changed the IP address of the computer, you must
shutdown the NMS client/server, restart the computer and start the NMS client/server again.
After changing the NE IP by Web LCT:
l If the IP address of the NE and the IP address of the Web LCT are in the same network
segment, the communication between the Web LCT and the NE is normal.
l If the IP address of the NE and the IP address of the Web LCT are in different network
segments, the communication between the Web LCT and the NE stops. In this case, set a
new IP address for the computer where Web LCT is installed to restore the communication.
Ensure that it is in the same IP subnet segment as the original NE IP. After you have changed
the IP address of the computer, you must restart the Web Lct.

of up to 20 bytes. The domain address consists of up to 13 bytes and the fixed quantity 3 bytes. The NE ID
consists of up to 3 bytes and it is consisted of the ID and extended ID. NSEL is the port number of the network
layer protocol. It is always 1d and consists of 1 byte.
After the NSAP communication address is set, the communication connection originally connected to the U2000
is interrupted. In addition, the communication connection between the U2000 and NE based on the OSI gateway
is reconstructed.

57 Modifying the NE ID
The ECC protocol uses the NE ID as the unique identifier of an NE. Hence, you need to assign
a unique NE ID to each NE when planning a network. If an NE ID conflicts with another NE
ID, it causes an ECC route conflict and the NMS cannot manage certain NEs. During the
commissioning or expansion process, when you need to adjust the original network planning
and change NE IDs, you can use the U2000 or Web LCT to change NE IDs.
Prerequisites
U2000 or Web LCT
The master and slave subracks are displayed as one NE on the U2000. They share one NE ID
and one NE IP.
Precautions
NOTICE
l Changing the NE ID is a dangerous operation, which may interrupt NE communication.
l Before changing the NE ID, delete the service and function connected with the NE ID, for
example, the protection group, IPA, ALC, fiber connection and so on. After changing the
NE ID, reconnect the fiber connection and re-configure the protection group, IPA, ALC
and other function connected with NE ID on the U2000.
l Before changing the NE ID, delete the manually added monitoring relation between the
WMU board and the OTU or line board on the NE. After changing the NE ID, restore the
deleted monitoring relation on the U2000.

98 Creating OCh Trails by Trail Search
After you create fibers and configure services for WDM equipment on the U2000, the trail
information does not exist at the network layer of the U2000. To manage OCh trails, search for
the cross-connections and fiber connections data over the network to generate end-to-end WDM
trails at the network layer of the U2000.
Prerequisite
l Fiber connections must be correctly created for the WDM equipment.
Precautions
l If certain cross-connections exist, you can create an optical-layer trail by using any of the
following methods:
Delete the original cross-connection and create the optical-layer trail by using the trail
function. This method affects services.
Complement cross-connections on NEs and search for the trail.
l You can create only single-NE optical cross-connections from the AM port to the OUT
port of the RMU9 board and from the IN port to the DM port of the WSMD9/WSMD4/
WSMD2 board. In this case, the board optical cross-connection is not supported. These
types of single-NE optical cross-connections do not impact services. You need to create
these types of single-NE optical cross-connections and search for trails if you want to
manage the services transmitted in the cross-connections by using the trail management
function.
U2000
Procedure for the U2000
1. In the Main Topology view, choose Service > WDM Trail > Search for WDM Trail
from the main menu.

OptiX OSN 8800/6800/3800
Supporting Tasks 98 Creating OCh Trails by Trail Search
174
NOTE
In the searching by subnet mode, the selected subnet range should be independent from the
networking. That is, no fiber connection exists between the selected subnet range and the area beyond
the selected subnet range.
3. Click Next to begin the search for trails. The U2000 takes a while for searching, depending
on the number of services.
NOTE
l If there are cross-connections that are collisions and these cross-connections cannot form end to
end trails, the U2000 shows the conflicting trails after you perform the search operation.
l The principles of verifying a conflict trail are as follows: If the networking changes, the trail may
cause interruption of service flow. For example, the key information for the trail, including
deleting a cross-connection or fiber, is verified.
4. Click Next after searching, you can browse all trails found. If you want to set a trail
management flag, right-click it and select the management flag.
NOTE
Skip this step if you selected the "Automatically create trails after searching" policy in Step 2.
5. Click Next to view all discrete services in the network.
NOTE
If Step 4 is performed, the U2000 deletes trails that do not have the management flag from the network
layer. This does not affect services for the actual NE or the data for an individual NE on the
U2000.

99 Creating Single-Station Optical Cross-
Connection
Optical cross-connection defines the routes of wavelengths. Through the creation of single-
station optical cross-connection, the routes of inter-board services are configured.
Prerequisite
The logic fiber connection inside a single station has been set up on the U2000/Web LCT.
The edge port must be configured.
When creating an optical cross-connection of a single station, make sure that the optical cross-
connection of a board in this single station does not occupy the wavelength that the optical cross-
connection of the single station uses.
U2000 or Web LCT
When you create an optical cross-connection, the optical power can be adjusted automatically
or manually. If you select Auto, the dynamic optical add/drop multiplexer board automatically
adjusts the attenuation range of the optical attenuator in the board. If you select Manual, you
need to manually adjust the attenuation range of the optical attenuator in the dynamic optical
add/drop multiplexer board. The Auto option is available for the several types of optical cross-
connection trails. For details, see Feature Description.
NOTE
The WSMD4/WSMD2 can be used to replace the WSD9 or the WSM9.
OA indicates the optical amplifier boards such as OAU1 and OBU1.
The FIU can be added before or after the OA.
In drop networking, the demultiplexer boards such as D40, D40V and MR2 can be added between the
WSD9 and OTU.
In add networking, the multiplexer boards such as M40, M40V and MR2 can be added between the OTU
or line board and WSM9.

108 Dividing Orderwire Subnets
When there are too many NEs, the concurrent conference calls affect the quality of the
conversation. You can assign the subnet number to optical ports, where the conference calls are
configured, to allocate the NEs to different orderwire subnets. You can make the conference
calls between NEs that are associated with the same orderwire subnet.
Prerequisite
l Conference calls must be configured.

Set the length of the subnet number before dividing the orderwire subnet, which can be of one
or two digits. Then configure the subnet number. You can obtain the subnet conference call
number by overlaying the preceding digits of the conference call number by subnet number. For
example, if the conference call number is 999 and the subnet number is 1, the subnet conference
call number of the subnet 1 is 199.
The optical ports with the same subnet number belong to the same orderwire subnet.
Different optical ports on each NE can belong to different orderwire subnets. Hence, an NE can
belong to several orderwire subnet at the same time.

136.1 Overview
Overview of the purpose and procedure of cleaning optical fiber connectors, the items that may
cause pollution to optical connectors are also described here.
Cleaning optical components is to remove dust or other dirt to avoid performance degradation
of optical transmission systems. Here describes how to inspect and clean fiber connectors used
in fiber optic connections.
Figure 136-1 shows the optical fiber connector.
Figure 136-1 Optical fiber connector

The following items should be removed because they pollute optical connectors that are
extensively adopted in optical transmission systems:
l Dust
l Oils (frequently from human hands)
l Film residues (condensed from vapors in the air)
l Powdery coatings (left after water or other solvents evaporate)
Dust is the most common dirt in optical connectors. Even small dust that can be seen only under
a microscope can affect the quality of optical signals, degrade the system performance and cause
potential instability in network operation.
A one-micrometer dust granule on an optical connector of a single mode fiber can block 1%
light and cause 0.05 dB lost. A nine-micrometer dust granule that cannot be seen by human eyes
can block an entire fiber core. Therefore, small dirt even that cannot be seen by human eyes
should be removed.
NOTE
Before you connect any optical component, make sure that you have inspected and cleaned the component.
General Procedure
Table 136-1 below describes the general procedure of how to inspect and clean the optical fiber
connectors.

136.2 Protection of Optical Connectors
The requirements of optical connector protection are listed here.
The requirements of optical connector protection are:
l All optical port boards must be transported and stored in reliable packing. This serves to
avoid mechanical and electrostatic damages and to reduce vibrations.
l Store the protective caps in an ESD bag.
l Cover the optical ports of the replaced boards with protective caps in time. Store them in
proper packages to keep the optical ports clean.
l The protective caps recommended are shown in Figure 136-2, and the protective caps not
recommended are shown in Figure 136-3.

136.4 Inspecting Optical Connectors
The following describes how to inspect the optical connectors and check the status of the fiber
surface.
The tools, equipment and materials are listed below:
Precautions
CAUTION
Use a fiberscope equipped with a safety device or a desktop video fiberscope when you inspect
the optical connectors. If one is not available, turn off the lasers and disconnect both ends of the
fiber before you inspect the optical connectors
NOTICE
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages the equipment. Before touching the equipment, board,
or integrated circuit (IC) chip, to prevent the ESD on human body from damaging static-sensitive
components, you must wear the ESD wrist strap and ensure the other end of the strap is properly
grounded. Otherwise, the equipment may be damaged or the service may be interrupted.
Procedure
Step 1 Turn off the lasers before the inspection. Disconnect both ends of the fiber to be inspected.
Step 2 Test the optical power using a power meter. Ensure that the laser is turned off.
Step 3 Use a fiberscope to inspect the fiber to check if there is any dirt or damage. See the examples
shown below.
l For an image of the intact fiber optic surface through a fiberscope that can be used
successfully in the equipment, see Figure 136-7.

Figure 136-7 An intact fiber

l For images of fibers through a fiberscope with imperfections that can impair the function of
the assembly, see Figure 136-8. The image on the left shows clearly a damaged fiber.
Severely damaged fibers must not be used in the system equipment. Otherwise, permanent
and severe damage to the assembly can occur. The image on the right shows a fiber that is
suspect. If the output power is within an acceptable range, the fiber might not cause any
damage to the assembly. If the output power is unstable or falls outside the acceptable range,
however, the fiber can cause damage to the assembly and must not be used.
Figure 136-8 Damaged or suspect fibers
NOTE
The views shown do not represent the entire surface of the fiber optic. Much of the surface is the metal
connector and only the 800-micron core is the actual fiber.

l For details on acceptable and unacceptable fibers, see Figure 136-9, Figure 136-10 and
Figure 136-11.

136.5 Cleaning Optical Fiber Connectors Using Cartridge
Cleaners
Clean the fiber optic only in the case that there are flaws on it. The following describes how to
clean the fiber optic with a type of CLETOP cassette cleaner.
Prerequisites
Before cleaning, inspect the fiber optic surface with a fiberscope or a magnifier to determine the
extent to which the fiber optic might be damaged or dirty. Clean the fiber optic only in the case
that there are flaws on it. If there are not, do not clean it. That is because the cleaning itself might
introduce dust, dirt, or cause potential damage to the fiber optic.
The following procedure provides the steps to clean the fiber connectors using cartridge type
cleaners. There are several types of cartridge cleaners. The following describes a type of
CLETOP cassette cleaner.

136.6 Cleaning Optical Fiber Connectors Using Lens Tissue
Clean the fiber optic only in the case that there are flaws on it. The following procedure provides
the steps to clean the fiber connectors using lens tissue.
Prerequisites
Before cleaning, inspect the fiber optic surface with a fiberscope or a magnifier to determine the
extent to which the fiber optic might be damaged or dirty. Clean the fiber optic only in the case
that there are flaws on it. If there are not, do not clean it. That is because the cleaning itself might
introduce dust, dirt, or cause potential damage to the fiber optic.
The following procedure provides the steps to clean the fiber connectors using lens tissue. Use
only the special materials for cleaning the fiber connectors. See the local site practices.
l Clean solvent. (Isoamylol is preferred, propyl can be used. Alcohol or formalin is never
used)
l Non-woven lens tissue, lint-free wipes or fiber cleaning tissue (Non-woven lens tissue is
recommended)
l Compressed air

Step 5 Repeat Step 4 several times on the areas of the lens tissue that have not been used.
Step 6 Use the compressed air to blow off the fiber tip.
NOTE
l When you use the compressed air, keep the injector nozzle as close as possible to the fiber connector
surface without touching it.
l When you use the compressed air, first spray it into the air as the initial spray of compressed air can
contain some condensation or propellant. Such condensation leaves behind a filmy deposit.
l If the compressed air is not available, a clean roll can be used.
Step 7 Use a fiberscope to inspect the adapter to check if there is any dirt. For details, see the examples
shown in 136.4 Inspecting Optical Connectors. If the optical adapter is still dirty, repeat the
Step 1 to Step 6.
