5 Mount the 1830 PSS-4 shelf in the EIA rack, using two 12-24 screws (P/N

1AD139920001) per side.

eSFP cable management

The PSS-4 shelf has an open space of 44 mm between the Card and the standard front

cover (3KC12890AA**) as shown in the following figure:


....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................


Issue 1 June 2013

E N D O F S T E P S...................................................................................................................................................................................................



The RJ-45 boot has a length of 25mm with a space of 44mm between the card and the

standard front cover. This leaves a space of 10 mm which is the space available for

bending the STP cable. This is less than its threshold -4xOD (normal).

Note: There are several thresholds for STP cable, local field support engineer should

check before deployment.

If the Bending radius is less than the threshold, it may have a negative impact on its

functioning.

The possible solutions to resolve this problem are listed in the following:

1. Use the shortest RJ-45 boot from Tyco (11mm) with standard front cover

(3KC12890AA**); the cable management space increases by 7mm, although the

bending radius is still less than its threshold.

2. Remove the ETSI rack door and the front cover.

3. Use extended cover (3KC13331AAAA) installed on ANSI, EIA or ETSI (without

rack door) rack.

SDI SFP cable management

The SDI SFP is supported by PSS-4, under this case, extended cover (3KC13331AAAA)

may be used. Local support engineer should pay attention to the space between the card

and the front cover basing the bending radius of the cable. An example picture is shown

below:

Attenuator usage

Using Normal front cover (3KC12890AA**) or installed on ETSI rack with rack door,

attenuator can not be used.

Using Extended front cover (3KC13331AAAA) or installed on ETSI rack without rack

door, attenuator can be used with angle or short boot fiber.

Fiber connectors

In general, the type of fiber jumper used with Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-4 depends on the

type of rack (bay or cabinet) the equipment is installed. Commonly, Fiber jumpers used

with ETSI racks need to have a short, straight fiber boot as shown in Figure 2-15, “Short

LC fiber boot” (p. 2-35)to eliminate any interference between the fiber jumper sand the

ETSI cabinet door. Fiber jumpers used with ANSI or EIA racks need to have angled fiber boots as shown in “Fiber connectors” (p. 2-36). It is important that the right fiber jumpers

be ordered based on the type of rack being used.

Straight short boot. 35 mm maximum from tip of fiber to back edge of boot.

ID module replacement

Overview

Unlike the user panel for the 1830 PSS-32, the 1830 PSS-4 ID module can only be

replaced when the unit is powered down. The 1830 PSS-4 ID module has an EPROM thatcontains the serial number and information to retain remote access capability in the event

of a database loss, similar to a user panel in the 1830 PSS-32.

ID module replacement procedure

Note: When restarting after replacement of an ID module on an NE that has been

powered down, the new ID module will cause the NE to appear as though it has never

been commissioned. To preserve traffic during the restart, the NE database should

NOT be initialized. Instead, a previously backed up database is restored to the NE

after the restart.

Use the following procedure to replace an ID module on an 1830 PSS-4.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Reprovision the NE Name for the NE. This can be done during the initial connection to

the NE with the WebUI, or using the CLI command: config general name.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Reprovision the loopback IP address for the NE, using the CLI command:

config interface loopback ip.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 On an 1830 PSS, reprovision the user panel OAMP port IP address for this NE, using theCLI command: config interface 1/1/oamp ip.

Physically replace the 1830PSS-1 FAN (integrated Fan/User Panel).

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 Reprovision the static routing (gateway) information for this NE, using the CLI

command: config cn routes static add .

Replacing a card

Slot equipage requirement

Blanks are used to cover unused slots to improve cooling air flow. All slots in the shelf

must be occupied with circuit packs or blanks, and all packs must be fully inserted intothe shelf to maintain proper air flow. The shelf must not have an empty slot. Empty slots

or partially inserted cards decrease the air flow across installed circuit packs and leads to

decrease in their cooling. Circuit packs could potentially be subject to failure as their

temperatures increases.

Replacing a card (general)

NOTICE

Service-disruption hazard

A card reseat is service affecting if the card is currently carrying services. To discover if

any services are currently carried over a card, perform the procedure Checking for

services on a port in User Provisioning Guide. If there are services currently carried over

the card, it may be best to wait for a maintenance window before reseating the card.

Cooling airflow is critically important for reliable transmission. Every slot in the subrack

requires a circuit pack (card) or circuit pack blank to ensure proper airflow. Do not

remove old cards until new cards are fully prepared for installation. New cards should be

installed within 5 mins of old card removal to maintain proper airflow and cooling for the

other cards within the subrack.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Ensure that the replacement card is unpacked and prepared for immediate installation

before starting any other work.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Set the fan to maximum speed.

Connect to the NE for CLI access

Overview

You can connect directly to the network element to access the CLI. No client software is

needed on your PC, only a telnet application. The remaining procedures in this chapter are completed using CLI.

Procedure

You can connect a computer (typically a laptop) directly to a network element to access

the CLI using the CIT port on the EC. On multi-shelf network elements, the CIT port is

active on the master shelf only. Note this is the same connection used for the webUI

interface.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 If not already connected, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the CIT port on the EC.

Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on your PC.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Use a Telnet application on your PC and open a Telnet session connected to the IP address

of the CIT port.

Configure the software environment and load, and committhe software

Purpose

The NE is shipped with software pre-loaded. However, the software version that is pre-loaded on the cards may not be the same as the software version that is run in the

network. Perform the following tasks to load and commit the correct software load on the

NE.

The PC connected to the NE must have an FTP server running. The first step is to prepare

the FTP server on the NE. Then follow the CLI procedure for software download and

activation.

Note: Software download is only supported through the OAMP port. Starting from

Release 5.0 software download is supported through the CIT port. (See Configure the

OAMP Ethernet Port in User Provisioning Guide for connection details. Connection

of a CIT port on a slave shelf to an external LAN is forbidden.)

Note: In multi-shelf installations, the slave EC and Master NE must be installed and

committed with same software load.

OAMP port configuration

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Login to CLI. See the procedure in “Connect to the NE for CLI access” (p. 4-12).

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Type config interface 1/1/oamp ip <address>/<mask> and <Enter>.

Where <address> is the IP address and <mask> represents the subnet mask following

the CIDR format. Obtain this information from the site documentation.

Note: The port must be enabled for this command to take effect. To enable the port,

type config interface ec 1/1/oamp state up and <Enter>.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 Change the TCP/IP properties on the PC from Obtain an IP address automatically

(DHCP) to a static IP address within the same subnet as the address provisioned in Step 2.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 Disconnect the CIT cable from the EC CIT port and the PC. Connect a straight-through

Ethernet cable to the OAMP port and the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the

PC.

FTP server preparation

Note: Refer to “Example configuration of FTP server” (p. 4-57) for more detailed

instructions on configuring an FTP server.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Start the FTP server application on your PC and create a user account. Record the User ID

and password established for the account.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Establish a root directory for the server and ensure that it has read and write privileges.You can create a folder in the root directory that contains the NE software.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 Copy the folder and subfolders with the NE software into the FTP root directory

established as in Step 2.

Note: The software folder name has the format 1830PSS4-<ver>, where <ver> is the

version of software to be loaded. There should also be two subfolders named

“1830PSS4” and “1830PSS4M”. The software typically is provided on a CD.

Configure GNE for management system access

Background

The NE, if configured as a Gateway Network Element (GNE), can connect to an Element

Management System (EMS) through the OAMP port. The IP address must be provisionedand the OAMP port enabled to use this port. In addition, an IP route must be established

to route connections to the RNEs.

Purpose

Use this procedure to provision and enable the OAMP port, so that the NE can act as a

Gateway Network Element. The procedure also provisions the IP route information to

allow connection to RNEs. Not all NEs (that is, RNEs) require this provisioning. Refer to

the site documentation.

Example configuration of FTP server

Background

There are different FTP server software applications available. This procedure provides

detailed configuration instructions using one of the most common platforms, FileZilla.However, the steps can be used as a reference for configuring other FTP server

applications. Consult the documentation for your specific FTP server software for

detailed instructions.

Note:

1. The FTP server for software download and Database Backup are configured

separately. FTP/SFTP can be provisioned for Software download server, and

TFTP/FTP/TFTP can be provisioned for Database Backup server.

2. Note that TFTP is sensitive to the number of the GCC/OSC spans, but SFTP/FTP

is not. Therefore, for DB back-up case, TFTP is not recommended for multi-span

configuration over GCC/OSC. Generally, SFTP/FTP is recommended for multi-span download/backup case.

3. FTP and SFTP has a similar transfer speed for both DB backup and Software

download. Generally, FTP is faster than SFTP, as it has a higher overhead

efficiency.

4. However, Note that FTP has Windows/Linux Compatibility issue for Software

download . If the FTP Server is a Windows Server, the download speed will be

reduced by half . The SFTP Sever is generally working fine in both

Windows/Linux for both Software downloading and DB backup.

PurposeThis procedure provides more detail to the steps listed in “FTP server preparation”

(p. 4-15).

Prerequisites

The FTP server application must be downloaded and installed on the PC. The FileZilla

server software can be downloaded from (http://filezillaproject.org/download.php?type=

server ).

Procedure

Disable the firewall on the PC

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Provision new wavelength service

Overview

This procedure provides the steps required to provision a new wavelength service

between transponders installed at two end-point nodes. The procedure assumes that thetransponders have already been installed and fibered in the nodes, and the Alcatel-Lucent

1354 RM-PhM server is up and connected to the network.

Procedure

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Identify the transponders that have been installed and fibered to carry the wavelength

service.

Note: When a CFP must be installed, remove the OT circuit pack from the shelf and

then replace or insert the CFP. Ensure the CFP is seated securely and seat the OT

circuit pack.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Right-click on one of the nodes at the wavelength end point and select Provision ->

Physical Topology...from the menu. See Figure 5-1, “1354 RM-PhM physical topology

menu” (p. 5-2).

Perform power adjustments

Overview

If the path through the network the new service takes crosses lines whose optical power

management type is set to Manual, the system will create expected powers and default power deviations at only two key points per line, the ingress line's ingress LD Sig Out

port and the egress line's LD Line Out port. The goal of the service turn-up procedure is

to modify the light path's power using a combination of add target power setpoint

adjustment, LD gain adjustment, and manual pad placement to try to reach the expected

powers set up by the system.

Note: Lines of FOADM nodes and lines following FOADM lines, services in

existence before the new service is added may deviate from their initial target powers.

This is normal and the deviation thresholds around the expected power have been

calculated to take into account this shift in per channel powers.

Procedure

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Wait for 2 mins for the power to ramp up after creating the service before continuing.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Click the Power (A-Z) button on the wavelength service completion window (See Figure

Provision transponder for connection to an unmanagednetwork element

Background

The line interface of the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-4 transponders can be fibered directlyto another network element, unmanaged by the Alcatel-Lucent 1354 RM-PhM for

transport. For this application, the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-4 transponder provides a

signal (without WaveTracker encoding) to the unmanaged network. The transponder itself

is installed in an Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-4 shelf and is managed by the Alcatel-Lucent

1830 PSS-4 node. This interworking application is sometimes called the “Dangling OT

Feature”.

A dangling OT, or a group of dangling OTs, are Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-4 optical

transponders which are plugged into an Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-4 shelf and managed by

the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-4 node. However, the dangling OT line side optical ports

(transmit and receive) are not fiber-connected to a CWR or OMD pack in theAlcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-4 NE.

Overview

This procedure provides the steps required to provision an Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-4

transponder to transmit to an unmanaged NE. The procedure assumes that the

Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-4 network has been installed and commissioned, and the

Alcatel-Lucent 1354 RM-PhM server is up and connected to the network.

Procedure

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Install the transponder in the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-4 shelf that will be connected to

the unmanaged NE, if not installed.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Fiber the network ports of the transponder to the unmanaged NE. Refer to the user

documentation for the unmanaged NE for connection and provisioning information.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 From the Alcatel-Lucent 1354 RM-PhM topological view, double-click the

Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-4 node with the transponder installed in Step 1.

5-min timer during service turn-up

Overview

A network service created by OS (for example, PhM), is comprised of a number of

Photonic Cross-connects on each of the nodes between the service end-points. The

following figure shows a service (red line) created from Node A to Node Z through Node

C. In regard to this service, the Node A is the “add node”, Node C is the “thru node” and

Node Z is the “drop node”.

When a service is created, the related optical channel can be provisioned to be modulated

by keys based on proprietary Wavelength Tracker technology, and we call such service is

keyed service. Similarly for service without the channel modulated, we call it un-keyed

service.

The keys are actually the identification for each channel in the optical network. During

photonic cross-connect creation, the keys are assigned by the system/network

automatically (that is, auto-keyed) or by user manually (that is, manual-keyed). With theassistance of keys, the network can easily support wavelength routes tracking, power

management, performance monitoring and fault location and so on. From a power

management perspective, the Software Controlled Optical Transmission (SCOT)

algorithm can automatically adjust the optical channel power in the network, based on

retrieved optical channel power information for keyed service, this is also called

auto-power management.

During the service creation or deletion, some transmission defects could exist for a while.

However, it is not necessary to raise the transient condition during service turn-up. For

instance, from optical power management perspective, the channel power ramps towards

the goal, there is no need to raise Optical Channel Optical Power Out of Range (OCH

OPR), since this is an expected behavior at service turn-up. When the wavelength is being

turned up, there is no need to report any OCH layer defects for the service, since we know

the wavelength is in a transitory state. The timer length has been chosen to be consistent

with the worst case time for power levels to completely settle, when all the lines along the

lightpath are auto-power managed.

Turn-up process for auto-power managed and auto-keyed service

When a service is created by the OS (PhM), then the photonic cross-connections are also

created along the path including add node, drop node and thru node (if present). Upon the

creation of photonic cross-connection, the Optical Channel Payload Defect Indication

(OCH PDI) condition is immediately raised on add node (at the point of Wavelength key

encoder, for example, SVAC or OT line port). Upon the creation of the photoniccross-connection, the Optical Channel Forward Defect Indication (OCH FDI) condition is

immediately raised on the through and drop nodes at the node ingress point (ingress OA

port). While OCH PDI or OCH FDI is raised, other OCH conditions are masked (for

example, OCH OPR, OCH LOS, and so on) on the node along the path of the channel.

Note that OCH PDI and OCH FDI are not reported conditions, meaning that they are not

issued off node to an NMS or alarm monitoring system; they are used only to suppress the

reporting of other conditions by degrading their severity to not reported. For example, at

the drop node the OT line port may see LOS-P during turn-up (normally critical service

affecting), and this is degraded to not reported.

The add node will send information indicating whether or not the channel for the photonic

cross-connection at the add node is leaving the node with appropriate power. Initially

when the add photonic cross-connection is created the node advertises that the channel is

not at appropriate power.

The Software Controlled Optical Transmission (SCOT) algorithm on add node will ramp

the optical channel power towards the target power at the node egress. When the egress

target power is reached within a defined tolerance, the node emits a Link State

Advertisement (LSA, distribute key information) informing downstream nodes that it is

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................


5-43



launching power and starts a 5-minute timer to clear its OCH PDI. When downstream

nodes (thru node and drop node) receive the LSA, they also begin 5-minute timers to

clear their own OCH FDI condition. When the timers expire, the PDI/FDI conditions are

lowered, and any other OCH-related conditions will be visible if present, for example the

LOS-P condition at the OT line port at drop node will be reported with original severity of

“Critical”.

Note:

• The timer period is 10-minute in the case the node is designed and deployed in a

long haul optical transmission context.

• The PSS32/16 DWDM application always requires OA at the NE boundary. If the

ingress OA is not provisioned, then there will be no place to report OCH FDI.

However, the user would still be able to see “OCH FDI” information in Photonic

cross-connection secondary state.

• Above example Figure 5-44, “An example of turn-up process for an auto-power

managed and auto-keyed service” (p. 5-43) is only for A-to-Z direction. A

bi-directional service will have similar conditions/processes raised/ongoing in the

other direction.

Turn-up process for auto-power managed and manual-keyed service

For auto-power managed and manual-keyed service, the service turn-up process is similar

to the auto-power managed and auto-keyed case. The difference is that for the auto-power

managed and auto-keyed case, the 5-minute timer is started once the thru node and drop

node receives the LSA message carrying key info emitted from add node, while for

auto-power managed and manual-keyed service the 5-minute timer is started once the

local Photonic cross-connection is provisioned (during this process the keys for ingress

direction and egress direction are manually assigned by user). This is actually thedifference between auto-keyed and manual-keyed cases, irrelevant of auto-power

managed or manual-power managed.

For manual-power managed and keyed service, irrespective of auto-keyed or

manual-keyed, the system/network will not automatically adjust the optical power. The

user needs to set the power/attenuation/gain manually along the service path. This

includes the OT line port, MVAC/SVAC, fast eVOA, CWR, OA and so on. The 5-minute

timer is supported for this case. However, since this procedure may take longer than

5-minutes blackout period, it is possible that alarms (LOS-P severity transitions from Not

Reported to Critical) will be seen during manual power adjustment.

One exceptional behavior of manual-keyed case compared with auto-keyed case,

irrespective of auto-power managed or manual-power managed, is that the OCH FDI or

OCH PDI condition will not be raised. Therefore, it is invisible to user, although the

minute timer to suppress OT alarm (for example, LOS-P reported as Not Reported) is still

supported.


....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................


Issue 1 June 2013



For manual-power managed and unkeyed service, there is no OCH FDI or OCH PDI

suppression mechanism or 5-minutes timer, therefore the OT alarm will be normally

reported (for example, LOS-P reported with severity as Critical).

Above behaviors are normal for Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC) being ready.

Although Generic Communication Channel (GCC) is also able to distribute the LSA

message carrying key info, the SCOT auto-power management is only supported when

OSC channel is ready.

In case of both OSC and GCC not ready, there is no channel to communicate LSA in the

network. For this case, the photonic cross-connects must be created as manually keyed.

When a manually keyed connection is created (whether auto-power managed or

manual-power managed), the OCH FDI and OCH PDI countdown timers begin

immediately after photonic cross-connect creation. As described above, OCH layer

conditions will be degraded to not reported until the timer expires, after which they will

be reported with their normal severity.

If though wrong provisioning, some of the photonic cross-connects were created as autokeyed when there is no OSC or GCC ready to communicate LSAs in the network, then

the nodes would raise OCH FDI or OCH PDI as normal. The add node could clear its

OCH PDI since the information of power achieved is local, and it can begin its

countdown timer. However, through or drop node cross-connects would not receive the

LSA for power achieved from the add node; therefore the cross-connects would remain in

OCH FDI and would cause the other OCH layer defects to be not reported. This case of

wrong provisioning.

Network commissioning background

Network planning overview

The first stage before deploying the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-4 is network planning using

the Engineering Planning Tool (EPT). Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic ServiceSwitch 36/32/16 (PSS-36/PSS-32/PSS-16) Release 6.0 Engineering and Planning Tool

User Guide for the procedures used to plan the network. During the planning stage the

equipment required to meet the demands of the network is defined. The network can be

planned to support demands in the future that are not required in the first phase of

deployment. A network is comprised of one or more systems planned in the EPT.

Generally the nodes and fiber spans between nodes will comprise a linear or ring

topology for each system. In a static OADM system, an obvious ring or linear topology

may not be apparent; in this case the topology is referred to as a mesh topology.

When the network is planned and validated the EPT will produce separate commissioning

files for each of the systems that comprise the network (see the following). These files areused by the Commissioning and Power Balancing (CPB) tool when commissioning the

systems. For more details on the commissioning file format and contents, refer to the

Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch 36/32/16 (PSS-36/PSS-32/PSS-16) Release

6.0 Engineering and Planning Tool User Guide.

Decomposing networks into constituent systems

The EPT segments networks into systems. The CPB tool is designed to operate on one

system at a time. Terminal points in the network and colorless add/drop ports of CWR8 or

CWR8-88 cards demarcate one system from another. Figure 6-1, “Decomposition of

mesh network into constituent systems” (p. 6-3) illustrates a mesh network. System (1) isa TOADM ring system, system (2) is a TOADM linear system, system (3) is a TOADM

linear system and systems (4), (5) and (6) are linear FOADM systems. Notice that

systems (4), (5) and (6) are separate FOADM systems due to the fact there is no express

path between them, and they are joined at a multi-degree FOADM NE using loop

connections (channel routing). Also notice that some lines can be auto power managed

and other lines must be manually power managed. All lines connected intranode to create

a FOADM node with line count higher than two must be manually power managed. The

topology and the power management settings of the lines that make up the topology of a

system determine the level of support provided by the Alcatel-Lucent 1354 RM-PhM and

CPB for maintaining optical power levels, upgrading equipment and commissioning eachsystem. The EPT will produce a commissioning file in .xml format that can be used by

the CPB tool to commission the systems. The content of the file will depend on the type

of equipment found on each line of a system.

Use of the CPB tool

The CPB tool can be used in conjunction with Alcatel-Lucent 1354 RM-PhM or can also

be installed and used as a stand-alone tool. The Provisioning, Commissioning, and Power

Balancing menus and respective functionality of the CPB tool integrated in

Alcatel-Lucent 1354 RM-PhM and the stand-alone CPB are the same. However, the

stand-alone CPB tool requires the user to have access to another Network Management

System (for example, OMS, INC, and so on) or utilize the NE built in user interfaces

(CLI or WebUI) to make the relevant adjustments required in support of Provisioning,

Commissioning, and Power Balancing the Network Element that would have otherwise

been performed by utilizing the Alcatel-Lucent 1354 RM-PhM.

Keyed versus unkeyed OCh

There are two distinct types of optical cross-connections, or OCh, that are supported by

the system.

These are:

• Keyed OCh: The optical channel is Wavelength Tracker (WT) encoded with Wave

Keys, and can be decoded at WT decode points throughout the network. WT decoders

can raise WT-related alarms for keyed OCh, and will show per channel power levels.

Keyed OCh can be supported on TOADM or FOADM network elements. Keyed OCh

can be transported on lines whose power management settings are Auto or Manual.

• Unkeyed OCh: The optical channel is not Wavelength Tracker encoded with Wave

Keys. At WT decoder locations no per channel power levels are reported for unkeyedOCh, and WT-related alarms are not raised. Unkeyed OCh are only supported on

FOADM network elements. Unkeyed OCh can only be transported on lines whose

power management settings are Manual.

Keyed and unkeyed OCh are not permitted to be mixed on the same network element.

Network designs must be keyed or unkeyed.

Note: Due to the restriction that unkeyed OCh cannot be transported on Auto SCOT

lines, all NE optical lines in the network must be set to SCOT type Manual.

Preconditioning procedure

Purpose

Use this procedure to ensure that the network and PC is ready for Greenfield

commissioning. This procedure should be completed on all constituent systems asdescribed in “Decomposing networks into constituent systems” (p. 6-2) and all network

elements that will be commissioned.

Background

The procedures in the following sections relate to commissioning of a Greenfield system.

A Greenfield system is one that has never been commissioned previously and does not

carry services. These procedures can also be used if all services are removed from a

system to recommission a system. Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 1354 RM-PhM

Photonic Manager Release 9.1 EMS Reference Guide for information on maintaining

existing systems.The procedures in this chapter assume that the customer data communications network

has not been established yet. Therefore, the procedures have been written assuming that

the integration will be completed using a PC directly connected to one of the network

elements in the system to be commissioned.

Procedure

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Ensure that all the procedures in Ensure that all the procedures in Equipment installation

have been completed on all network elements in the network to be commissioned.have been completed on all network elements in the network to be commissioned.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Ensure that all the outside plant fibers have been properly connected to the correct line

driver cards on each network element and any necessary Fiber Optic Characterization is

completed.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 The paths of the commissioning services must be predetermined as described in

“Commission a FOADM system” (p. 6-23) for each FOADM system. Ensure that there

are OT cards installed and fibered in the locations determined by those commissioningservices.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 If there are spans with external Raman amplification, a commissioning service must be

established to pass through the Raman amplifiers. If the commissioning services

determined in the previous steps do not pass through all Raman amplifiers, install and

fiber additional OTs to provide commissioning services to pass through the missed

Raman amplifiers. The channel should be as close to the middle of the channel plan as

possible (near 194.00 THz).

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

5 For each FOADM system to be commissioned, field personnel must be physically presentwith attenuation pads at add/drop nodes. If the system is supporting unkeyed OCh, the

field personnel should also have a power meter and a wavelength meter or OSA.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

6 Obtain the loopback IP addresses of all the NE’s in the network.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

7 Obtain all the xml commissioning files produced by EPT for each system to be

commissioned and copy them onto the PC that will be used for commissioning.

Important! Ensure that the latest commissioning files are used with the most accurate

fiber data.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

8 Ensure that both the client and server Alcatel-Lucent 1354 RM-PhM software (or relevant

software if another management system is to be used with stand-alone CPB) as well as

the Commissioning and Power Balancing (CPB) tool has been installed on the PC. Refer

to the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 1354 RM-PhM Photonic Manager Release 9.1 EMS Reference

Guide for detailed procedures on installing and configuring the software.

Establish connection to the network

Purpose

This procedure will establish connection to the network and discover all the network

elements. Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 1354 RM-PhM Photonic Manager Release 9.1 EMS Reference Guide for additional information on configuring the server and client as

well as discovering network elements.

Note: If another management system will be used, refer to the documentation for that

system for discovering the NEs. The procedures in this chapter reference

Alcatel-Lucent 1354 RM-PhM, but the procedures can be performed with another

management system along with stand-alone CPB.

Prepare the PC and NE for autodiscovery of all the NEs

As noted earlier, these procedures are performed with a PC connected to one of the

network elements in the network.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the CIT port on the active EC card on the NE that

will act as the local connection point and the other end to the Ethernet port on your PC.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Open a PC command shell and type ipconfig and <Enter>. The NE CIT address is the

“Default Gateway”. Record this CIT address because it will be changed, and this address

will be needed later.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 Telnet to the CIT address and login to CLI. Refer to “Connect to the NE for CLI access”

(p. 4-12) for more information.

Commission a FOADM system

Background

A FOADM system may be a ring, linear, or mesh system. The lines on FOADM nodes

with degree 2 or greater are manually power managed. Because of this, OTs must beinstalled and wavelength services provisioned to complete commissioning on a FOADM

system.

The following requirements must be met regarding the wavelength/commissioning

services:

1. A commissioning service must cross an express path that will be used in the system at

least once during commissioning to allow the calculation and placement of

attenuating pads (if necessary) in FOADM nodes.

2. A commissioning service must cross every ingress LD in the system at least once

during commissioning to allow the user to adjust the gain of the LD.

3. A commissioning service must cross every line in the system that is Automaticallyoptical power managed at least once during commissioning to allow the user to trigger

the ingress and egress adjustment functions.

The optimal commissioning routes to provision may have been predetermined during

network planning. If there are no predetermined routes, the user should determine which

paths have not been commissioned and create services over one those paths following the

guidelines above. (Generally it is advantageous to determine the longest routes possible to

minimize the number of transponder deployments or redeployments necessary during the

commissioning phase). When choosing a channel to use for the commissioning service it

is always best to choose one near the middle of the C-band. For example, if bands A and F

of the SFD5 channel plan are dropped along the path, bands B through E are free; choose

the channel at frequency 193.8 THz or 194.1 THz because these channels are nearest the

center of the frequency band.

Figure 6-16, “Commissioning service for a FOADM system” (p. 6-24) shows a FOADM

linear network with a commissioning service that adds and drops at each of the terminal

NEs of the linear system. This service must not use a channel from bands A, B, C, or G of

the five-channel filter channel plan. In this case a channel at frequency 193.8 THz or

194.1 THz could be used. This commissioning service satisfies the three goals listed

above. Note that cases will exist where a single service cannot be used due to the planned

channel add/drop at each network element. In that case two services will be required that

overlap at least one of the FOADM node express paths.

Procedure

The following is the procedure to Commission a FOADM system:

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Commissioning a FOADM system requires the availability of field personnel physically

present at optical add/drop nodes to provide attenuating pad changes if required. Ensure

that field personnel are present as stated in the “Preconditioning procedure” (p. 6-5).

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Ensure that the provision system with plan wizard has been run and that the nodes that

make up the system to be commissioned have been provisioned, as stated in “Provision

the system” (p. 6-14).

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 Ensure that the transponder cards are installed as described in the “Preconditioning

procedure” (p. 6-5).

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 Identify the wavelength service to be created.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

5 Identify the two transponders at the end points of the service to be created. Determine the

service type that will be provisioned between the transponders.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

6 Follow the procedure, “Provision new wavelength service” (p. 5-2), to provision thecommissioning service.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

7 Wait for 2 mins after the service creation for the power to ramp up before continuing.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

8 If the wavelength service provisioning completion window is still open as shown in

Figure 6-17, “Alcatel-Lucent 1354 RM-PhM wavelength service provisioning

completion” (p. 6-25), skip to Step 11 . Otherwise continue to the next step.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

9 Select one of the nodes at an end point of the commissioning service and select View ->

Show Wavelength Services from the menu on top.

Commission a system with unkeyed FOADM lines

Background

Refer to “Keyed versus unkeyed OCh” (p. 6-4) for more information about unkeyed

networks. Note that the EPT design will explicitly state that the network design isunkeyed.

An unkeyed system must be commissioned using wavelength (or commissioning)

services using the following guidelines.

1. A commissioning service must cross an express path that will be used in the system at

least once during commissioning to allow the calculation and placement of

attenuating pads (if necessary) in FOADM nodes.

2. A commissioning service must cross every ingress LD in the system at least once

during commissioning to allow the user to adjust the gain of the LD.

3. A commissioning service must be added at every FOADM-1 (terminal) egress line in

the system at least once during commissioning to verify that the equipment is installedcorrectly.

The optimal commissioning routes to provision may have been pre-determined during

network planning. If there are no pre-determined routes then the user must determine

which paths have not been commissioned yet and create a service over one of those paths.

Generally it is advantageous to determine the longest routes possible to minimize the

number of transponder deployments or redeployments necessary during the

commissioning phase. When choosing a channel to use for the commissioning service it is

best to choose one near the middle of the C-band. For example, if bands A and F of the

SFD5 channel plan are dropped along the path, bands B through E are free; choose the

channel at frequency 193.8 THz or 194.1 THz because these channels are nearest to the

center of the frequency band.

Figure 6-16, “Commissioning service for a FOADM system” (p. 6-24) shows a FOADM

linear network with a commissioning service that adds and drops at each of the terminal

NEs of the linear system. This service must not use a channel from bands A, B, C, or G of

the five-channel filter channel plan. In this case a channel at frequency 193.8 THz or

194.1 THz could be used. This commissioning service satisfies the three goals listed

above. Note that cases will exist where a single service cannot be used due to the planned

channel add/drop at each network element. In this case two services will be required that

overlap at least one of the FOADM node express paths.

Procedure

The following is the procedure to Commission a system with unkeyed FOADM lines:

Important! When following this procedure, note that the ALPFGT has a small gain

setting range in which the gain profile across the C-band is flat. Therefore, Alcatel-Lucent

strongly recommends operating the ALPFGT LD within the Gmin to Gmax parameters from

the EPT. If the gain setting required to eliminate the power error calculated in the

procedure would be outside the gain range it is better to accept the power error and set the

gain setting to the nearest boundary of the gain range (Gmin or Gmax).

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Commissioning a FOADM system requires the availability of field personnel physically

present at optical add/drop nodes to provide attenuating pad changes if required. Ensurethat they are present as stated in the “Preconditioning procedure” (p. 6-5).

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Ensure that the provision system with plan wizard available in CPB has been run and that

the nodes that make up the system to be commissioned have been provisioned, as stated

in “Provision the system” (p. 6-14).

3 Ensure that the transponder cards are installed as described and stated in the

“Preconditioning procedure” (p. 6-5).

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 Identify the wavelength service to be created. Refer to the detailed description in“Background” (p. 6-42).

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

5 Identify the two transponders at the end points of the service to be created (refer to

“Commission a system with unkeyed FOADM lines” (p. 6-42) for commissioning service

guidelines). Determine the service type that will be provisioned between the transponders.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

6 Follow the procedure, “Provision new wavelength service” (p. 5-2), to provision the

commissioning service.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

7 Wait for 2 mins after the service creation for the power to ramp up before continuing.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

8 Determine the first node in the light path and double-click the node in the Topology View

to open the NE Inventory window.

26 Calculate the amount to adjust the ingress amplifier gain setting using the following

formula.

Delta = (Ptargetdownstream-Ptargetupstream)- and (Poutdownstream-Poutupstream).

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

28 Obtain new values for Poutdownstream and Poutupstream and recalculate the delta value using

the formula in Step 26. If the absolute delta value is greater than 0.5 dB wait five secs,

and then change the power gain value again. Continue the iterations until the delta is less

than 0.5 dB waiting five secs between changes.

Note: If the gain setting is outside the limits of Maximum Gain and Minimum Gain

there is likely to be an upstream loss problem that must be identified and corrected.

Possible reasons for the problem could be one of the following.

• The Poutupstream reading changed due to a disruption at the upstream NE.

• Failure to place an input fixed attenuating pad after a short span. Check the EPT

design.

• The upstream span loss is too high or too low.

• The patch panel connection loss between the fiber span and Line In port of the

receiving network element is too high.

• For topologies where the receive direction amplification is provided by anALPFGT pack, the loss between the receiving network element Line In port and

the ALPFGT Sig In port may be too high.

Prepare unkeyed FOADM system for additional services

Background

After completing the procedure“Commission a system with unkeyed FOADM lines”

(p. 6-42), through path of the system has been commissioned. This is sufficient to set thegain settings of the amplifiers in the system and determine the value of any fixed

attenuators required on through transmission path. Every service addition at a FOADM

node in an unkeyed network would require a remeasurement of the output power using an

OSA or wavelength meter to determine the correct add path power to reach the egress

Line Out target power. An optional additional step in commissioning is to determine the

required add path power from each SFD filter to achieve the Line Out target power. The

values determined cannot be stored in the network element, however the operator may

wish to record the values for reference so that when additional services are added using

the SFDs already installed, the required target power for the add path can be set directly.

Transponders are fibered to the SFDs that require the target power. Wavelength serviceswill be created across the SFDs to determine the values.

Procedure

The following is the procedure to prepare unkeyed FOADM system for additional

services.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Determine the transponder fibered to the SFD for the degree of interest. Create a

wavelength service terminated at that transponder using the procedure “Provision new

wavelength service” (p. 5-2).Note: Use a channel from the middle of the channel set supported by the filter.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Double-click the add node for the wavelength service to open the NE inventory window.

Set opposite port of Unidirectional Amplifier

Overview

The opposite direction port parameter will define the association between two

unidirectional ports. So a Bidirectional cross-connection can be used with differentunidirectional topology connections.

The following are the unidirectional LD packs:

• AM2125A - LINEIN, LINEOUT

• AM2125B - LINEIN, LINEOUT

• AM2318A - LINEIN, LINEOUT

Note: The opposite direction port parameter can only be provisioned on ports that

have an external topology connection. If the port is not externally connected, then the

NE software denies any attempt to provision the associated port.

Steps to provision/delete opposite direction port

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 The opposite direction port parameter for each direction of the topology connection can

be provisioned from either port.

For example, either of the following CLI commands will configure the opposite direction

port for both ports.

config interface card shelf/slot/LINEIN oppdirection shelf/slot/

LINEOUT

config interface card shelf/slot/LINEOUT oppdirection shelf/slot/

LINEIN

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 The opposite direction port parameter for each direction of the topology connection can

be deleted from either port.

For example, either of the following CLI commands will delete the opposite direction

port for both ports.

config interface card shelf/slot/LINEIN oppdirection delete

config interface card shelf/slot/LINEOUT oppdirection delete

Disconnect PC from the Network

Overview

The CIT provisioning was changed to allow discovery of all the network elements. See

Establish connection to the network . Once the commissioning is completed, the NE CIT provisioning must be returned to the original settings.

Procedure

The following is the procedure to disconnect the PC from the network:

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Telnet to the temporary CIT port address and log in to CLI following the procedure

described in “Connect to the NE for CLI access” (p. 4-12).

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Type config interface ec 1/1/cit red disable and <Enter>

Result: This turns off route redistribution.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 Type config interface ec 1/1/cit ip <ip> and <Enter>

Where <ip> is the original IP address of the CIT port before it was changed.

Note: Typically this is the default IP address, 172.16.0.1.


WARNING: Changing the local ethernet port IP address may result

in a loss of IP connectivity to this network element

from the local ethernet port only. DCN connectivity will

not be affected.

Enter yes to confirm, no to cancel.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 Type yes and <Enter>

Result: Communication to the NE is lost. Close the telnet session.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

5 Open a Windows command window and type ipconfig /release and <Enter>.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

6 Type ipconfig /renew and <Enter>

System Turn-up and commissioning Disconnect PC from the Network

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Result: This will force the PC to obtain a new IP address from the NE through DHCP.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

7 Type ipconfig and <Enter>

Verify the PC has successfully obtained an IP address from the NE, and the Default

Gateway is once again the original CIT IP address.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

8 The PC can now be disconnected from the NE.

Understanding the loss report

Background

The loss report is generated in the following circumstances:

• When the network commissioning wizard completes, regardless of whether it

completes successfully.

• After adding, removing, or upgrading an NE.

• After performing a network power balance.

• On demand by the user.

The loss report is only fully supported for systems comprised of Auto managed lines. The

PhM only includes the ingress LD of a FOADM through node and excludes through path

of a FOADM through node.

Overview

The report is generated as an HTML file. Errors are highlighted in red. Warnings are

highlighted in yellow.

This section contains the following topics.

• “Report organization” (p. 6-61)

• “Report content” (p. 6-62)

• “Loss value field of loss report” (p. 6-63)

• “Notes field of loss report” (p. 6-64)

Report content

A summary is provided for each NE in the ring, indicating the status of the last ingress

and egress adjust. The summary is colored red if the NE has an error condition, or yellow

if the NE has a warning condition. The Last ingress result and Last egress result fields

indicate the cause of the error or warning, if applicable. The possible errors and warnings

are detailed in “Troubleshooting failed adjustments” (p. 6-74).

The following information is reported for each span in the path.

• The actual loss (or gain) for the span, in dB

• The minimum allowable loss (or gain) for the span, in dB, from the EPT

• The maximum allowable loss (or gain) for the span, in dB, from the EPT

• The loss value (commission or real time)

• Notes that provide additional information in diagnosing errors and warnings. See

“Notes field of loss report” (p. 6-64) for details.

Table 6-1 Report contents

Term Explanation

NE loss trace “A to Z” The direction of the commissioning signal.

NE loss trace “Z to A” The direction of the commissioning signal.

Actual Loss (Gain) (dB) The Actual loss is the measured loss between two consecutive

Wavelength Tracker detect points. In the case of an amplifier,

the Actual Gain is the current gain setting of the amplifier.

The actual loss must fall between the values specified for the

LPT Min and Max losses. If the adjusts for the node are

successful then no highlighting is applied to the components inthe node and losses outside the range are noted as “Loss

accommodated”. If at least one of the adjusts for the node in a

given direction has failed recently then highlighting is applied

and action by the user is required. See the following for

highlighting rules.

Note: In the case of a loss report generated after the Greenfield

commissioning wizard has run, some lines may not have been

completed, either due to upstream failures or because lines were

excluded by the wizard. In this case the Actual loss field

indicates n/a for the loss measurements because losses have not

been calculated yet for those lines of the system.

Table 6-1 Report contents (continued)

Term Explanation

LPT Max Loss (Gain) (dB) The maximum expected card or span loss that is used to plan

the network.

The maximum span loss is obtained by the sum of the nominalspan loss and user-defined patch-panel and fiber loss margin.

Maximum card loss is defined by considering the loss of the

specific component and appropriate connector losses within and

between cards. The component loss is obtained from a

statistical analysis of the component loss data. Total losses

within an NE are derived by a statistical RMS addition of all

the individual cards along through path of the NE.

LPT Nominal Loss (Gain)

(dB)

The nominal card or span loss used to plan the network. Total

nominal loss within an NE is derived by the linear addition of

the nominal card losses.

LPT Min Loss (Gain) (dB) The minimum expected card or span loss used to plan the

network.

Loss value indicates how the loss value reported was obtained:

• Real time: Wavelength Tracker measurement of the loss

• Commission: bulk power measurement of the loss

Notes Provides additional information, as described in “Notes field of

loss report” (p. 6-64).

Loss value field of loss report

The loss value field indicates how the displayed loss was calculated. Amplifier gains

shown in the loss report are read directly from the LD pack, therefore no text is shown in

the Loss value field.

services with WT readings available when the report is

generated. The displayed loss is the loss that was calculatedduring the last commissioning adjustment.

Commissioning adjustments are defined as:

1. Kitless commissioning adjustments used to commission a

system.

2. Or, WT-based power adjustments when the line has not

been commissioned.

Notes field of loss report

The notes field of a row in the loss report displays additional information to the user.

Table 6-3 Notes field terms and definitions

Note Explanation

Warning: Loss x.x dB too

high.

The measured loss is x.x dB higher than the maximum loss.

Note: The level “Warning ” or “Error” is based on whether the

loss is just outside the PT range within 1 dB, or whether the

loss is outside of the PT range + 1 dB. However, if the adjust

succeeds the “Error” is changed to a “Warning ”.

Warning: Loss x.x dB too low The measured loss is x.x dB lower than the minimum loss.

Error: Loss x.x dB too high The measured loss is x.x dB higher than the maximum loss and

is associated with a failed power management adjustment.

If the power management adjustment succeeded, this would be

a Warning instead of an error.

Error: Loss x.x dB too low The measured loss is x.x dB lower than the minimum loss and

is associated with a failed power management adjustment.

If the power management adjustment succeeded, this would be

a Warning instead of an error.

Loss Accommodated. The loss is outside the planned range, but the loss was

accommodated by the auto power management adjustment.

Average attenuation of x.x dB

applied to range

For a CWR8 thru, WSS thru or ROADM thru path x.x dB was

applied to the planned loss range. This equals the applied

attenuation of the optical device in the path.

Error: unable to read lossvalue

A measured loss could not be calculated and a commissioningloss was not available on the network element.

(Target gain = xx.x dB) The adjustment function calculated a gain of xx.x dB which did

not fall within the planned gain range.

Loss within 10% of max The measured loss is within 10% of the maximum planned

value. Several components within 10% of the max may cause

an auto power management adjustment to fail.

Upstream loss too high The ingress adjustment has failed and the loss preceding the

ingress LD is too high.

x dB of y dB repair marginconsumed Indicates that the ingress adjustment has set the gain of theingress LD within the repair margin allocated for this LD. The

gain is approaching the maximum gain planned for this

amplifier.

DCM present Indicates that a dispersion compensation device is between the

two detect points used to calculate the loss.

Highlighting in the loss report

If errors or warnings are generated during commissioning or during an in-service power

adjustment, the relevant cells within the loss report are highlighted to help identify thesource of the problems. Warnings are highlighted yellow. Errors are highlighted red.

Highlighting is conditional on whether the report was generated during commissioning or

during an in-service operation, and based on the last adjust results for each NE.

In the following table, the rule applies for the combination of ingress line to egress line,

that is the egress line is on different degree of the node from the ingress line.

Generate and review system loss report

Overview

The System Loss Report of the CPB tool displays the loss per channel through a network

element from ingress degree to egress degree. There are two-target applications for this NE loss report. One use is to check the pad values selected during commissioning of the

FOADM network elements. The second use is to quickly audit a FOADM node in-service

to discover if any excess loss exists within the node if optical power out of range alarms

are observed on one or more channels.

Prerequisites

Prior to creating a System Loss Report, the user should complete provisioning of the EPT

parameters for the target system. If the system has been commissioned, this prerequisite is

met.

If these parameters are not provisioned, the System Loss Report will not display a targetloss range for the loop or express channels and the expected gain range for the LDs will

also be missing. The user must run the Provision System using plan wizard to provision

the required planning tool parameters prior to creating a System Loss Report. The

parameters in Table 6-5, “Minimum EPT parameters for network element” (p. 6-67) are

the minimum set of parameters that must be provisioned.

between “Port from” to “Port to”.

Expected Loss Range - PT

Min Loss (Gain) dB

The minimum planned loss or gain between “Port from” and

Expected Loss Range - PT

Max Loss (Gain) dB

The maximum planned loss or gain between “Port from” and

“Port to”.

Notes Displays additional information. See “The notes field of the

loss report” (p. 6-73).

Measured Loss (dB)

ITU <channel number>

The measured loss for each ITU channel provisioned between

the ingress line and egress line.

There are three sections of the table. The first section is the Target Loss Comparison

section. In this section, the loss between the target power per channel at the ingress LD

Sig Out for the ingress line and the egress line LD Line Out is measured. The valid loss

range includes the expected power deviation from the target values.

The second section is the WTD detect point to detect point losses section. In this

section, each row contains the measured loss between two Wavelength Tracker detect

points.

The third section is the Per channel status. In this section, below each ITU channel

column, the status for each channel is reported.

• If the loss is measured and in range the status is “OK”.

• If the loss is measured and is too high the status is “Too high”.

• If the loss is measured and is too low the status is “Too low”.

• If the loss was not measured the status is “n/a”.

The PT Min Loss and PT Max Loss fields show n/a if the planned loss is not set on the

network element, or cannot be calculated, for WTD to WTD losses and the target loss

range, respectively.n/a indicates“not available”.

The notes field of the loss report

The notes field contains additional information.

• Power not found - power readings were not available for one or more of the channels.

“n/a” is shown where the loss for the channel would normally be displayed.

• Error: Unable to calculate target loss range - displayed when the planning tool data

required to calculate the target loss range is not available. See Table 6-6, “Loss report

fields” (p. 6-72) for the required planning tool data.

System report highlighting

If the measured loss reported is outside the planned range by less than or equal to 1 dB

the loss is highlighted yellow. If the measured loss is outside the planned range by more

than 1 dB the loss is highlighted red. If the measured loss is within the planned range the

loss is not highlighted. The WTD to WTD losses are not highlighted if the measured loss

in the Target Loss Comparison is not highlighted.

If a measured loss cannot be calculated no highlighting is applied to the measured loss. If the planned or target loss range is not available no highlighting is applied.

Troubleshooting using the loss report

Losses that are highlighted Yellow indicate a potential problem. Losses that are

highlighted Red indicate a problem that should be corrected. For a path from an ingress

line that is Manually power managed to an egress line that is Manually power managed

on a FOADM node, the most likely problem is an incorrect pad selection for the optical

connection between the drop side and add side of the path. As removal of an attenuating

pad will break the optical path of the signal, attenuating pad changes should be done

during a maintenance time window.

During service turn-up, the loss report can be used as an aide to ensure that the selected

pad for the new service is correct. After adding the attenuating pad for the new service,

run the loss report to compare the measured loss for the channel to the target loss range.

Troubleshooting failed adjustments

Overview

After the Commission Greenfield System wizard completes, a loss report is generated.

Refer to “Understanding the loss report” (p. 6-60) for more details about the loss report.See Figure 6-45, “CPB sample loss report” (p. 6-71).

Above each node loss summary in the loss report, there is a box with Last ingress result =

<string> and Last egress result = <string> (see Figure 6-45, “CPB sample loss report”

(p. 6-71). If there is a failure on the NE, then the box is highlighted. Warnings are

highlighted yellow. Errors are highlighted red. This section provides a list of the possible

Appendix A: Fiber cleaning

Overview

Purpose

This chapter describes the Alcatel-Lucent recommended method for the cleaning and

inspection of optical connectors using specific tools and materials that have been provento be effective in the assembly and testing of optical transmission equipment. It is critical

that the connector endfaces, optical ports, and bulkheads are clean and free from

particular contamination to assure proper performance and reliability of lightwave

systems. With the modern high speed, high power, and wider bandwidth optical

transmission systems, clean connectors along the optical path are absolutely essential for

successful operation.

Before making any optical connections, perform the “Inspect, Clean, Inspect, Connect”

(ICIC) process on every jumper connector endface, optical port, and optical bulkhead.

Note: The information in this appendix is applicable to all Alcatel-Lucent optical

products, not just Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS). There may be

tools and connector types listed that are not applicable to Alcatel-Lucent 1830

PSS-32/PSS-16.

Note: The equipment and material previously listed has been tested and is proven

effective when used in conjunction with this procedure. Substitution of equipment or

materials is at the discretion of the user and is not recommended by Alcatel-Lucent.

Fiber cleaning considerations

Observe the following precautions when handling fibers to prevent contaminates from

adhering to the fibers and creating potential errors and unnecessary losses:

• Assume that all fibers are dirty and must be inspected and cleaned before connection

to equipment.

• Always inspect fibers for contaminants and clean where required.

• Do not remove the protective end caps on fibers or fiber ports until ready to connect.

• If it is suspected that a fiber or port was contaminated during test or turn up

procedures, reinspect and clean as necessary.

Cleaning process

The following cleaning procedure is acceptable for field service/installation activities:

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Remove the dust cap from the connector ferrule exposing the connector end-face....................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Open an individual foil packet of a pre-saturated isopropyl alcohol (99% pure) wipe.

Grasp the connector housing and place the connector ferrule end-face perpendicular to the

alcohol wipe.

Drag it against the wipe three times in a figure 8 pattern. This action applies the alcohol

solvent to the end-face and initially loosens and scrubs away organic/solid contaminates.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 If a CLETOP cassette cleaner is not available, proceed with Step 7. Otherwise, hold theCLETOP cassette cleaner in the palm of your hand with the cassette shutter door facing

up.


....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................


Issue 1 June 2013



Rotate the cassette lever all the way down with your thumb. Do not release the lever. The

lever advances the “dry” Luminex cleaning cloth inside the case and simultaneously

opens the shutter. The CLETOP cassette shutter door is now open and ready for cleaning

the connector.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 Insert and press the connector ferrule end-face perpendicular against the cleaning cloth in

the first of two slots of the cleaner.

Drag it down in the direction indicated by the arrows on the cleaner. Do not release the

lever of the cassette.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

5 Lift the connector from the first slot and rotate it 90 degrees and repeat the wiping

procedure using the second slot. Be sure that the ferrule is pressed snug against the

cleaning cloth while dragging the ferrule to assure the proper cleaning action.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

6 Release the cassette lever allowing the shutter door to close to its initial position.

Continue with Step 8.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

7 Wrap a Luminex cleaning cloth around the ferrule and rotate the connector housing,

cleaning the outside periphery of ferrule.

Follow this by folding an unused portion of the cloth over the end of the ferrule end-face

and then with light pressure from the thumb, slightly drag the cloth from the center of the

ferrule to the edge while rotating the connector 360 degrees. If the Luminex cleaning

cloth is not available, a lint-free clean room optic wipe can be used. The Luminexcleaning cloth is washable and can be used multiple times. The optic wipes are single use

and disposable.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

8 Inspect the connector for cleanliness. If necessary, repeat the cleaning process.

Inspecting optical connectors

Connector inspection

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Follow the instructions in the manual provided with the Optical Fiber Scope to view theferrule end-face of the fiber under inspection.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 The visual area of the ferrule end-face (ferrule and fiber) as observed by the inspection

system/scope should be free of any contaminates. Repeat the Cleaning Procedure if the

fiber end-face does not meet the following requirements:

Requirement:

No fixed type of contamination (contaminates that remain at the same location after three

wet-dry cleaning cycles), regardless of size, is allowed in the restricted area of the glass

fiber end-face.

Note: The restricted area is defined as ~66 micron (µ) diameter for both single mode

and multi-mode fibers.

Requirement:

No chips, cracks, or scratches are allowed near the core of the glass fiber end-face.

Requirement:

No large floating (loose) contaminates are allowed on the glass fiber and ceramic ferrule

end-face.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 After the connector has been verified to be cleaned, it is immediately inserted into the

adapter buildout of the optical component. This assures maximum cleanliness and

effectiveness of the connector.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 If the cleaned connector cannot be “connectorized” with a corresponding adapter, the

connector ferrule must be protected with a connector dust cap. Before placing the cap on

the ferrule, ensure that the cap is clean. This can be accomplished by inserting a CLETOP

stick cleaner (swab) of the same inside diameter as the cap (either 2.5 mm or 1.25 mm)

and rotate the stick 360 degrees three times. Following this procedure, carefully place the

cap over the ferrule. When the cleaned connector is ready for assembly, it should be

reinspected for cleanliness prior to connectorization.

Cleaning other optical components

Fiber adapters or circuit pack connectors

During testing and/or troubleshooting activities, it is necessary to clean the optical

buildout adapter or the circuit pack connector. The following procedure is recommended....................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Using the appropriate CLETOP stick cleaner (2.5 mm for SC, ST, and FC connectors,

1.25 mm for LC connectors) dampen the stick cleaner with Ethyl alcohol using the

alcohol wipe. Insert the stick cleaner into the adapter rotating the stick 360 degrees while

inserting. Push/rotate the stick until the stick cleaner is in contact with the connector.

Apply slight pressure upon contact and rotate the stick 360 degrees at least three times.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Remove the stick cleaner, rotating it upon removal.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 Using a dry CLETOP stick cleaner of appropriate diameter, repeat Step 1. This procedure

cleans the side walls of the adapter and the end-face of the circuit pack connector.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 Gently insert the Video Fiber Scope probe into the port until the fiber ferrule comes into

view.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

5 Verify that the fiber ferrule is clean. Repeat the process in Steps 1 - 3 if the fiber does not

meet the requirements specified in “Inspecting optical connectors” (p. A-6)

shelf

A shelf is a mechanical facility that is in general a housing for circuit packs. Shelves are housed in

Bays.

An Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-32 node consists of one or more physical shelves equipped with

cards. The shelf provides a chassis or cage with a backplane that can contain multiple cards. The

shelf is mounted in a rack. Each shelf has a shelf controller card, plus its redundant mate. Every

node has one shelf that has its shelf controllers designated as the master controller for the node.

The node appears as a single point in the network topology to the network management system.

Connections between nodes use network links. See “node” (p. GL-18) for related term.

with small form factor (SFF) connectors, offering high speed and physical compactness. SFP

transceivers perform at data speeds of up to 5 gigabits per second, and possibly higher.

The SFP modules can be easily interchanged, therefore, electro-optical or fiber optic networks can

be upgraded and maintained more conveniently than has been the case with traditional soldered-inmodules. Rather than replacing an entire circuit board containing several soldered-in modules, a

single module can be removed and replaced for repair or upgrading. This can result in a

substantial cost savings, both in maintenance and in upgrading efforts.

channels). In contrast to BLSR, a UPSR:

• is path-specific as opposed to line specific

• does not allow extra traffic (because traffic is bridged)
