3.1.6 Fiber Connection Diagram

The fiber connection diagram is provided based on the commissioning sequence and the
following two directions:
z
Direction 1: A
Direction 2: E
In each diagram of fiber connection:

z
If the D40 connects to an OTU whose WDM side is a 2.5Gbit/s APD receiver, add a 10 dB fixed
optical attenuator to the IN interface of this OTU.
The fixed optical attenuator configured at the RX interface of the LWF is of 7 dB.
The fibers between the FIU and ODF subrack, the fibers between the LWF and client equipment and
the fibers between cabinets are all external fibers that should be routed on site.
For the rules to configure optical attenuators, refer to Appendix A "Optical Attenuator Configuration
Rules".

commissioning.
To ensure that the optical power commissioning are normally

performed.

Prerequisites
The NE commissioning must be complete.

The optical power commissioning serves to optimize the network performance parameter,
ensure that there is a margin for the system optical power without affecting the expansion, and
adjust the signal-to-noise ratio to the best value to ensure the long-term stable operation of the
system.
The basic requirements of optical power commissioning are as follows:
z
The optical power under commissioning should be between the permitted maximum and
minimum values.
Allowance is required to ensure that the power fluctuation within a range brings no
impact on the services.
Optical power commissioning should meet the requirement of system expansion from
the customer.
3.2.1 EDFA Optical Amplifier Units

For the parameters of each type of the EDFA optical amplifier in the OptiX BWS 1600G, refer
to the OptiX BWS 1600G Backbone DWDM Optical Transmission System Product
Description.
The requirements of the input optical power commissioning to each optical amplifier unit are the same.
Basic requirements of optical amplifier unit commissioning are as follows:

z
Adjust the average per-channel input power of the optical amplifier unit and make it
close to the standard per-channel input power.
Standard per-channel input power = Maximum input optical power 10lgN, where N is
the maximum number of wavelengths
Adjust the average per-channel output power of the optical amplifier unit and make it
close to the standard per-channel output power.
Standard per-channel output power = Maximum output optical power 10lgN, where N
is the maximum number of wavelengths
3-22
If the average per-channel input power before the input end of the optical amplifier is
added with a variable attenuator is higher than the standard per-channel input power,
Issue 03 (2007-09-30)
OptiX BWS 1600G

Commissioning Guide
adjust the variable attenuator before the amplifier to make the average per-channel input
power reach the standard value.
z
If the average per-channel input power before the input end of the optical amplifier is
added with a variable attenuator is lower than the standard per-channel input power,
remove the variable attenuator.
To the E2OAU, set the variable optical attenuator (VOA) inside the board to adjust the
output optical power of single wavelength to the standard value.
To the E3OBU and E3OPU, the gain is fixed. After the input optical power is adjusted,
the output optical power is obtained.
To the E3OAU and E4OAU, set the gain on the T2000-LCT to make the output of the
OAU reach the standard optical power.
Gain to be set = Standard per-channel output power Average per-channel input power
After the adjustment, the optical power of each channel on the optical amplifier unit
must be within the range of standard optical power 2 dB.
3.2.2 Raman Amplifier Units

For the parameters of each type of the Raman optical amplifier in the OptiX BWS 1600G,
refer to the OptiX BWS 1600G Backbone DWDM Optical Transmission System Product
Description.
Raman amplifiers extend the distance of a span and improve the signal-to-noise ratio. After
the Raman amplifier is used, the optical power that is close to the fiber line should be tested
on the LINE interface on the Raman amplifier. Shut down the lasers of the Raman amplifiers
before the commissioning.
Raman amplifier emits strong light. Do not insert or remove the fiber connector when the
laser is working, to avoid damage to human body.
The basic requirements of Raman amplifier unit are as follows:
z
Test the optical power on the SYS interface of the Raman unit when the laser is enabled
and when it is disabled. Determine the on-off gain of the Raman unit.
On-off gain = Optical power on the SYS interface when the laser is enabled Optical
power on the SYS interface when the Raman laser is disabled
When the Raman amplifier is used in backward or forward pumping, the output optical
power is rather great. The greater the optical power is, the higher the requirements of the
fiber jumper become. Great optical power may bring damages to equipment and injuries
to human body. Thus, the power of the Raman pumping light should be as low as
possible on the premise that the on-off gain is not less than 10 dB. The maximum optical
power should be not more than 27 dBm.
Raman amplifier is used in the case of extremely low input optical power. When the SYS
interface of the Raman amplifier is connected to the OAU, the input optical power of the
OAU is still lower than the standard input optical power of single wavelength. Therefore,
the VOA is not needed.
Issue 03 (2007-09-30)
3-23
OptiX BWS 1600G

Commissioning Guide
z
The requirement on the fiber line from the Raman unit lies on the single-point additional
loss in the line cable. The following are the requirements of the single-point additional
loss:
0 km20 km (0 mi.12 mi.): Do not use fiber connectors.
0 km10 km (0 mi.6 mi.): The single-point additional loss is less than 0.1 dB (G.652)
or 0.2 dB (G.655).
10 km20 km (6 mi.12 mi.): The single-point additional loss is less than 0.2 dB
(G.652) or 0.4 dB (G.655) and the single-point return loss is less than 40 dB.
The output optical power reaches 27 dBm when the Raman amplifier is used in
backward or forward pumping. Be careful of this. The fiber connector should be the
special APC fiber connector. If the PC fiber connector is used, great reflection burns the
fiber connector.
As for the Raman unit used for backward pumping, the strong pump light enters the fiber
through the input end (LINE) instead of the output end (SYS). Do not add any attenuator
or fiber jumper before the input end.
The bending radius of the fiber jumper should meet the requirement. The bending should
not be too great; otherwise, the fiber jumper is burnt.
The laser is by default to be turned off after the Raman amplifier is powered on. You can
turn on the laser by issuing a command.
Before the laser of the Raman amplifier is turned on, connect the fiber jumper of the
input end and that of the ODF cabinet. Keep the fiber clean when removing or inserting
the fiber. If there is dirt on the surface of the connector, the connector can be easily
damaged.
The Raman amplifier has a very strict requirement on the loss of the near-end line fiber.
Such a fiber should have no connector within the distance of 0 km20 km (12 mi.)
except that used to connect to the ODF. The fibers should be connected to each other by
melting.
3.2.3 OTU
For the parameters of each type of the OTU in the OptiX BWS 1600G, refer to the OptiX BWS
1600G Backbone DWDM Optical Transmission System Product Description.
The basic requirements of the optical power commissioning on the OTU are as follows:
z
Adjust the input optical power of the OTU to a value between the receiver sensitivity and
the overload point, at least 5 dBm less than the overload point and 3 dBm greater than
the receiver sensitivity.
The input optical power of the OTU is adjusted by adding or replacing the fixed
attenuator.
Usually, internal fixed attenuators of the DWDM are equipped before delivery. Only needed to make an
examination during the commissioning on site is required.
3-24
Since the output optical power of the receive-end amplifier is required to be set to that of
a single standard WDM wavelength, the fixed attenuator used on the WDM side of the
receive-end OTU should be fixed according to this.
The optical module used as the receiver on the client side is configured on the premise
that the client equipment adopts the same optical module and is installed in the same
equipment room. If the actual situation is not so, add, replace or remove the fixed
attenuator based on the actual optical power.
Issue 03 (2007-09-30)
OptiX BWS 1600G

Commissioning Guide
z
The transmitting optical power on the client side and WDM side of the OTU requires no
commissioning.
Make sure the input optical power of the OTU (including the WDM side and line side) is
lower than the receiver overload to avoid damage to the optical module during commissioning.
Note the overload of the APD receiver laser is only 9 dBm.
3.2.4 OSC
For the parameters of each type of the OSC board in the OptiX BWS 1600G, refer to the
OptiX BWS 1600G Backbone DWDM Optical Transmission System Product Description.
The basic requirements of the optical power commissioning on the OSC are as follows:
z
The optical power of the OSC should be within the range from 45 dBm to 15 dBm.
A 15 dB fixed attenuator is required for the interconnection between the OSCs in the
station.
3.2.5 Other Boards

There are no requirements on the input and output optical power of other boards. Optical
power commissioning on other boards bring only the power attenuation. Hence, for other
boards, just check whether the insertion loss index meets the requirement.
For the parameters of other boards in the OptiX BWS 1600G, refer to the OptiX BWS 1600G

Required
Set-up diagram
See section 3.1.3 "Optical Amplifier Configuration Diagram"

and section 3.1.6 "Fiber Connection Diagram".
Before the OptiX BWS 1600G is connected to the line fiber in each station, you must:
z
Test the span loss to ensure the value is in accordance with the requirement of the
engineering design.
Test the transmission distance of the line signals to ensure the value is in accordance with
the requirement of the engineering design.
Check the type of the line fiber to ensure the value is in accordance with the requirement
of the engineering design.
If any one of the above conditions is not met, the system commissioning will be affected.
Thus, when the above conditions are not met, give feedback to the construction party who is
in charge to solve the problem.
As mentioned in section 3.1.6 "Fiber Connection Diagram", there are two directions: direction
1 and direction 2. Because the commissioning in the two directions are performed in a similar
way, only the commissioning in direction 1 is given. This section describes the optical power
commissioning on each station along the following link direction.

After adjusting the optical power between the D40 and the OAU in the network commissioning, remove
the 15 dB attenuator that is added according to the requirements in section 2.2.5 "Adding Attenuators".
3.3.1 Commissioning at Station A (OTM)

Figure 3-11 shows the fiber connection at station A.
Step 1 Check if the fiber connection between boards is correct based on the fiber connection diagram
and if the fiber on each board is well inserted. If not, correct the error immediately.
Step 2 Make the client sides of all OTUs access signals in either of the following two ways:
Make the client sides of all OTUs access the actual services. (recommended)
Access the signals from the splitter and perform the commissioning after the
maximum number of services is configured. Access the signal from the splitter
according to Figure 3-27. Go to Step 5.

Step 3 Obtain the information on the optical module of the OTU by observing the bar code on the
front panel or the board manufacturing information. For this project, the client-side optical
module of the LWF is S-64.2b module and that on the LWC1 is I-16 module.
Step 4 Ask the equipment engineer of the customer to provide the transmitting optical power and the
optical module type of the equipment. Compare the optical power with the receiving optical
power on the client side of the OTU to determine if the fixed attenuator should be adjusted.
Record the receiving optical power on the client side of the OTU.
In Project G, we can learn from the OTU optical power commissioning requirements that the
input optical power of the client-side RX should be within the range from 6 dBm to 11
dBm (LWF) or from 8 dBm to 15 dBm (LWC1). If the measured input optical power of the
RX on the LWF and LWC1 without being added with an attenuator is 0 dBm and 5 dBm,
add a 7 dB fixed attenuator to the LWC1 and LWF. After the attenuator is added, the measured
optical power is 7 dBm and 12 dBm, which meets the requirements.

Commissioning Guide
Step 5 Check whether the WDM-side OUT interfaces on all OTUs emit lights or not. If not,
z
Check whether the accessed SDH/SONET services are normal or not. If not, clear the
fault first.
Check whether the OTU having no services emits light and whether the laser on the
OTU is enabled or not. If not, refer to section 2.11.2 to force the OTU to emit light and
to enable the laser.
Step 6 Test the output optical power of the OUT interface on the OTU. The value should be within
the range from 0 dBm to 5 dBm and is 2 dBm normally.
Step 7 Test the receiving optical power of the Mn interface of the V40 and record the value.
If the difference between the optical power and the optical power of the OUT interface on the OTU is
greater than 1 dB, check the fiber routing and clean the fiber.
Because the V40 is used in Project G, the principle of "observing the receive end and adjusting the
transmit end" should be adopted during commissioning. Adjust the VOA of each channel on the V40 to
ensure that the maximum difference of signal-to-noise ratio between channels is lower than 2 dB.
Step 8 Connect the optical spectrum analyzer to the OUT interface of the V40 by fiber jumper. Scan
the output multiplexed signal, record the optical power of each channel and of the multiplexed
signal, and determine the insertion loss of each channel on the V40. Check if the insertion loss
after each channel passes the V40 meets the requirement.
For insertion loss parameters, refer to the OptiX BWS 1600G Backbone DWDM Optical Transmission
System Product Description. If the output optical power does not meet the requirement, check if the Mn
interface is connected to a wrong interface.
Step 9 Connect the fiber jumper which is to be inserted into the IN interface of the OBU to the
optical spectrum analyzer. Scan the multiplexed signal. Adjust the mechanical variable
attenuator before the OBU to make the average per-channel input power of the OBU be close
to the standard per-channel input power (19 dBm).
Standard per-channel input power = Maximum input optical power 10lgN, where N is the
maximum number of wavelengths
Attenuation of the variable attenuator = Input optical power of the IN interface on the OBU

Figure 3-12 shows the fiber connection at station B.
Commissioning at station B is simpler than that at station A. The commissioning of
supervisory channels is similar to that at station A. Beside this, only the commissioning of the
optical power is required.
Step 2 Use an optical power meter to test the optical power of the IN interface at 1510 nm on the
west FIU (L-05). Compare the value with the optical power of the OUT interface at 1510 nm
on the east FIU at station A and the A

The received signals contain supervisory signals and main channel signals, and there is impact
from the noise. To avoid having incorrect test result, perform the test on a certain channel.
Step 7 Test the input optical power of the west OAU (L-01). Adjust the variable attenuator before the

Step 8 Connect the optical spectrum analyzer to the OUT interface of the OAU by fiber jumper. Scan
the multiplexed signal. Adjust the OAU gain on the T2000-LCT and make the per-channel

Commissioning Guide
The conference call comprises network-wide conference call and subnet conference call.
The network-wide conference call covers all the stations in the network and the number can be set on the
T2000, for example, 999.
The subnet conference call involves only the optical ports with the same subnet number that can be set
on the T2000.
The subnet conference number is formed by replacing the one or two significant digits of the conference
number by the subnet number.
For example, if the subnet number is 1 and the network-wide conference number is 999, the subnet
conference call number is 199.
3.11 Testing the Bit Errors

Required/As needed
Required
Set-up diagram
See Figure 3-31 and Figure 3-32.
The bit error test must cover all the service channels in the network. There must be no bit
error in consecutive 24 hours. To ensure that the 24-hour network-wide bit error test is
completed successfully, perform a 10-minute bit error test to each channel in advance.
This section takes Project G as an example to illustrate the test of network-wide bit errors.
Since the inter-board wavelength protection is provided by Project G, make sure that you shut down the
protection mode on the T2000 before commissioning.
Before the test, make sure that the input and the output optical power of each board is in the
optimal range. Make sure that there is no abnormal alarm and performance event.
