(19)

1.1 Safety Operation Guide

This section describes the safety operation guidelines. It contains the personal safety regulations and equipment operating regulations. These regulations must be followed to prevent personal injuries or damages to the equipment during operations.

1.1.1 Alarm and Safety Symbols

During equipment installation and maintenance, observe the precautions indicated by the alarm and safety symbols to help prevent personal injury or equipment damage.

Table 1-1 describes the alarm and safety symbols on the WDM equipment.

Table 1-1 Symbols on the WDM equipment

Symbol Describes

ESD protection symbol.

You must wear an ESD wrist strap or glove to avoid damage caused by electrostatic discharge to boards.

HAZARD LEVEL 1M INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION DO NOT VIEW DIRECTLY WITH NON-ATTENUATING OPTICAL

INSTRUMENTS

CAUTION

Laser level symbol.

Indicates the laser level and warns that laser beams can cause injuries to eyes.

Grounding symbol.

Indicates the position of the grounding point.

Regular cleaning symbol.

Warns you to regularly clean the air filter.

Fan warning symbol.

Warns you not to touch the fan blade until the fan stops moving.

1.1.2 Safe Usage of Fibers

(20)

DANGER

Laser beams on the optical interface board or inside the optical fiber can cause damage to your eyes. When installing and maintaining optical interface boards and optical fibers, avoid directly exposing your eyes to the laser beams originating from the optical interfaces or fiber connectors.

Protection of Optical Connectors

All idle optical connectors for fiber jumpers and optical ports on the optical interface boards must be covered with protective caps. The optical ports on the replaced boards must be promptly covered with protective caps. In addition, properly store these boards in their packages to keep the optical ports clean.

Recommended protective caps are shown in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1 Recommended protective caps

Protective caps that are not recommended are shown in Figure 1-2.

(21)

NOTE

Do not use protective caps that are made of soft rubber. These caps tend to collect dust and other material. These caps are hard to clean and do not resist the build-up of dust.

Connecting Fibers

CAUTION

When applying a physical fiber loopback between two optical ports, increase the attenuation to avoid equipment damage in case the laser optical power is excessively high. For boards that have the capability of having optical attenuators added, add an optical attenuator at the Rx optical port rather than at the Tx optical port.

Insert fibers into optical connectors carefully when connecting fibers. If the optical power is excessively high, add a fixed optical attenuator before the optical port to avoid damages to the device caused by a high input of optical power.

DANGER

Before removing or inserting fibers from/into the CRPC board, shut down the pump laser to avoid injuries due to the high optical power from the laser.

The CRPC board has specific requirements on fiber loss of the line nearby. For details, see Table 1-2.

Table 1-2 Fiber connection requirements of the CRPC

Distance Loss (dB) Connector (piece)

0–10 (km) ≤0.1 0

10–20 (km) ≤0.2 0

NOTE

The ODF has only one connector for connecting to the CRPC board. All the other fiber connection points must be spliced.

Cleaning Fibers

CAUTION

If fiber connectors or flanges are contaminated, optical power commissioning is seriously affected. Therefore, the two endfaces and flanges for each external fiber must be cleaned before the fibers from the ODF are inserted into the optical ports on the boards in the equipment.

(22)

The fiber connectors and optical ports for the lasers must be cleaned by using special cleaning tools and materials. Some common cleaning tools are:

l Cleaning solvent. Isoamylol is preferred, propyl can be used (alcohol or formalin is never used)

l Non-woven lens tissue l Special compressed gas l Dust-free cotton stick

l Special cleaning roll used along with cleaning solvent, either isoamylol or propyl l Fiberscope

For details on how to clean fibers, see the Supporting Tasks.

1.1.3 Operations on the Equipment with Power on

This section describes the requirements for performing operations on the equipment when the power is on.

Follow these requirements when performing operations on the equipment when the power is on: l Do not install or disassemble equipment when the power is on.

l Do not install or remove power cables when the power is on.

l Before connecting a cable, ensure that the cable and cable label comply with installation requirements.

1.1.4 ESD

During installation and maintenance, follow antistatic procedures to prevent equipment damage: l Always wear an ESD wrist strap during the operation.

l Check that the equipment is securely grounded.

CAUTION

Wear a well-grounded ESD wrist strap whenever you touch equipment or boards. Make sure that the wrist strap touches your skin. Insert the ESD strap connector into the ESD socket of the equipment.

(23)

Figure 1-3 Wearing an ESD wrist strap

NOTE

Insert the connector of the ESD strap into the equipment port. For details, see the Quick Installation Guide. When you are following antistatic procedures, take the following precautions:

l Check the validity and functionality of the wrist strap. Its resistance value must be between 0.75 mega ohm to 10 mega ohm. If the wrist strap validity period (usually two years) has expired, or if the resistance value fails to meet requirements, replace it with a wrist strap that provides the required resistance value.

l Do not touch a board with your clothing. Clothing generates static electricity that is not protected by the wrist strap.

l Wear an ESD wrist strap and place the board on an ESD pad when you replace boards or chips. Use ESD tweezers or extraction tools to replace chips. Do not touch chips, circuits, or pins with your bare hands.

l Keep the boards and other ESD-sensitive parts you are installing in ESD bags. Place the removed boards and components on an ESD pad or ESD material. Do not use non-antistatic materials such as white foams, common plastic bags, or paper bags to pack boards, and do not let these materials touch the boards.

l Wear an ESD wrist strap when operating the ports of boards because they are also ESD-sensitive. Discharge the static electricity of cables and protective sleeves before you connect them to the ports.

l Keep packing materials (such as, ESD boxes and bags) available in the equipment room for packing boards in the future.

ESD complies with IEC Publication 1000, EN 55022, EN 55024, IEC 61000 and GR-1089-CORE.

1.2 Instruments and Tools

This section describes the tools and testers used for equipment commissioning.

(24)

Table 1-3 Instruments and tools

Tool or Tester Usage

Optical power meter Used to measure the received optical power, the receiver sensitivity, and the receiver overload at an optical port. It is mainly used to measure the optical power on the client side and the WDM side of the OTU, and the total optical power of the multiplexed signals.

Laptop Used to install the U2000 Web LCT and U2000 during the

network element (NE) commissioning.

Multimeter Used to test the voltage, resistance, and current intensity during the power test.

Fiber microscope Used for checking the cleanliness of the endface of the fiber. Fiber jumper Used for connections during the optical power test of optical

ports on the optical distribution frame (ODF) side. Cassette cleaner or lens

tissue

Used to clean the end faces of fibers.

Flange Used to transfer the fiber jumper.

Fixed optical attenuator Used to attenuate the received optical power, which may damage the optical component, during the received optical power test for an optical port.

Variable optical attenuator (VOA)

Used for testing the receiver sensitivity and overload optical power of an optical port.

Optical spectrum analyzer Used mainly to test the optical power, optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), and the central wavelength for each wavelength in the multiplexed signals.

SDH analyzer Used in the network commissioning and index test of the SDH service.

GE analyzer Used for the GE service index test. 10GE analyzer Used for the 10GE service index test. OTN analyzer Used for the OTN service index test. ESCON analyzer Used for the ESCON service index test. Ethernet analyzer Used for the data service index test.

FICON/FC analyzer Used for the FICON service and FC service index test. Phillips screwdriver Used to install or uninstall the board screws.

(25)

NOTE

In a DWDM system, the optical power of a single wavelength in the multiplexed signals needs to be measured by using an optical spectrum analyzer. The commissioning result from this method is more accurate. When using this method, the noise impact does not need to be considered.

Calibrate the optical spectrum analyzer before using it to perform the test. Use the following method to verify the calibration:

Measure the optical power of the OUT optical port on the OTU by using the optical spectrum analyzer. Then compare it with the optical power obtained by using an optical power meter. If the difference is less than 0.5 dB, the calibration is acceptable. If the difference is greater than 0.5 dB, recalibrate the optical spectrum analyzer.

The U2000 is an integrated management platform for all Huawei equipment. It can centrally manage transport equipment, access equipment, and IP equipment (including routers, security equipment, and Metro Ethernet equipment). With powerful management functions at the NE and network layers, the U2000 is the major future-oriented network management product and solution for Huawei equipment. In the telecommunication management network (TMN) hierarchy, the U2000 is located between the element management layer and network management layer, and supports all functions of the NE and network layers.

The Web LCT is an element management system (EMS) in an optical transport network. In the TMN, the Web LCT is located at the NE layer. Based on the browser/server architecture, the Web LCT allows you to perform all operations of NE-level configuration and maintenance. The Web LCT accesses a local NE through a LAN or a serial port, and accesses a remote NE over data communications channels (DCCs).

2.1 U2000 Quick Guide

The U2000 uses the standard client/server architecture and multiple-user mode. You are recommended to start or shut down the U2000 by strictly observing the following procedure, in order not to affect other users who are operating the U2000.

Context

You are recommended to start the computer and the U2000 application according to the following sequence:

l Start the computer. l Start the U2000 server. l Start the U2000 client.

You are recommended to shut down the U2000 application and the computer according to the following sequence:

l Exit the U2000 client. l Stop the U2000 server. l Shut down the computer.

2.1.1 Starting the U2000 Server (Single Server System, Windows)

Three steps are required to start the U2000 server: power on the server safely, start the database, and start the U2000 server processes.

Starting the Database

The U2000 can start properly only after the database is started. This topic describes how to start the database on the Windows single-server system.

Prerequisite

The OS must have been started.

Context

Generally, the database starts along with the OS.

Procedure

Step 1 Log in to the OS as a user with administrator rights.

Step 2 Choose Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server > Service Manager to check whether Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is running.

The SQL Server Service Manager dialog box is displayed.

(41)

Step 3 If Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is not running, click Start/Continue. ----End

Starting the U2000 Server Processes

You can log in to the U2000 to manage the network only after starting the computer where the U2000 is installed and the U2000 server processes. This topic describes how to start the U2000 server processes on the Windows single-server system.

Prerequisite

The OS on the computer where the U2000 server is installed must be running properly, and the database must have been started.

Context

Generally, the U2000 server processes start along with the OS.

During the installation of the U2000 software, only one default NMS user, admin, is provided. The admin user is a U2000 administrator, who has the highest rights of the U2000 system.

Procedure

Step 1 Log in to the OS as a user with administrator rights.

Step 2 In Windows Task Manager, view the startup information about the U2000 server processes. If imapmrb.exe, imapwatchdog.exe, imapsysd.exe, imapeventmgr.exe,

imap_sysmonitor.exe, ResourceMonitor.exe, imapsvcd.exe, EmfGnlDevDm.exe, and imapPortTrunkSvc.exe are displayed in the process list, the U2000 server processes have started.

Step 3 If the U2000 server processes have not started, choose Start > Programs > Network

Management System > U2000 Server > U2000 Server or click the shortcut icon on the desktop to start the U2000 server.

Starting the U2000 server processes takes about 3 minutes.

Step 4 Choose Start > Programs > Network Management System > U2000 System Monitor or click the shortcut icon on the desktop to start the U2000 System Monitor client.

Step 5 In the Login dialog box, enter a user name and a password to access the System Monitor client window. The user name is admin, and the password is empty by default. You are required to change the password at the first login.

NOTE

Two data transmission modes are available: Common and Security(SSL). You can run a command on the server to query the data transmission mode. The default data transmission mode is Common.

Step 6 Check whether the U2000 processes start properly. The processes for which the start mode is manual must be started manually.

l If the U2000 processes for which the start mode is automatic start successfully, the U2000 runs properly.

l If any process does not start, right-click the process and choose Start Process from the shortcut menu.

(42)

l If the U2000 runs abnormally, contact Huawei engineers. ----End

Follow-up Procedure

The network management system maintenance suite is applicable to U2000 commissioning, maintenance, and redeployment. Generally, the network management system maintenance suite server processes start along with the OS.

In Windows Task Manager, check whether msdaemon.exe and msserver.exe are listed. l If the two processes are listed, the MSuite server has started.

l If the two processes are not listed, the MSuite server does not start. Navigate to the C: \HWENGR\engineering directory, double-click startserver.bat to start the MSuite server.

2.1.2 Starting the U2000 Server (Single Server System, Solaris)

Three steps are required to start the U2000 server: power on the server safely, start the database, and start the U2000 server processes.

Starting the Database

The U2000 can start properly only after the database is started. This topic describes how to start the database on the Solaris single-server system.
