1 Safety Precautions
DANGER When installing or maintaining an optical interface board or optical fibers, avoid direct eye exposure to the laser beams launched from the optical interface board or fiber connectors. The laser beam can cause damage to your eyes.
Cleaning Fiber Connectors and Optical Interfaces
CAUTION If fiber connectors or flanges are contaminated, optical power commissioning is seriously affected. Therefore, the two endfaces and flange of every external fiber must be cleaned before the fiber is led into the equipment through the ODF for being inserted into an optical interface on the equipment. The fiber connectors and optical interfaces of the lasers must be cleaned with the following special cleaning tools and materials: l
Special cleaning solvent: It is preferred to use isoamylol. Propyl alcohol, however, can also be used. It is prohibited that you use alcohol and formalin.
l
Non-woven lens tissue
l
Special compressed gas
l
Cotton stick (medical cotton or long fiber cotton)
l
Special cleaning roll, used with the recommended cleaning solvent
l
Special magnifier for fiber connectors
For cleaning steps, see Task Collection "Cleaning Fiber Connectors and Adapters" in the OptiX RTN 950 Radio Transmission System Maintenance and Troubleshooting.
Replacing Optical Fibers When replacing an optical fiber, cover the fiber connector of the unused optical fiber with a protective cap.
Connecting Optical Fibers l

CAUTION Ensure that all personnel are beyond the transmit direction of a working antenna.
1.6.3 Forbidden Areas The topic describes requirements for a forbidden area. l
Before entering an area where the electromagnetic radiation is beyond the specified range, the associated personnel must shut down the electromagnetic radiator or stay at least 10 meters away from the electromagnetic radiator, if in the transmit direction.
l
A physical barrier and an eye-catching warning flag should be available in each forbidden area.
1.6.4 Laser This topic describes safety precautions for lasers.
WARNING When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet directly without eye protection. Laser transceivers are used in the optical transmission system and associated test tools. The laser transmitted through the bare optical fiber produces a small beam of light, and thus it has very high power density and is invisible to human eyes. When a beam of light enters eyes, the eyes may be damaged. In normal cases, viewing an un-terminated optical fiber or a damaged optical fiber without eye protection at a distance greater than 150 mm does not cause eye injury. Eye injury may occur, however, if an optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to view an un-terminated optical fiber. 1-12

The troubleshooting procedure is as follows: 1. Check whether the air circuit breaker for the input power is off. If the air circuit breaker is automatically turned off, locate the cause (such as short circuits or insufficient fuse capacity), and rectify the fault accordingly. 2. Check the power cables, especially the connectors of the power cables. If the power cables or connectors of the power cables are incorrect, replace the power cables or remake the connectors of the power cables. 3. Check the voltage and polarization of the input power. If the voltage or polarization of the input power does not meet the requirements, contact the power engineers for troubleshooting. NOTE The fuse capacity can be no less than 20A. The standard voltage of the input power is -48 V and the permitted voltage ranges from -38.4 V to -57.6 V.

Context The key to locating a radio link fault is to check whether the transmit power and the receive power are normal and whether there is an external interference. In the following two cases, the transmit power is abnormal. The first case is that the transmit power exceeds the range that the ODU supports. The second case is that the difference between the actual transmit power and the preset value is more than 2 dB when the ATPC is disabled. The relevant alarms and performance events are as follows: l
RADIO_TSL_HIGH
l
RADIO_TSL_LOW
l
TSL_CUR
l
TSL_MAX
l
TSL_MIN
l
TSL_AVG NOTE
For the range of the transmit power, see the OptiX RTN 950 Radio Transmission System Product Description.
In the following two cases, the receive power is abnormal. In the first case, the receive power is lower than the normal value (Normal value = Planned value - 3 dB). In the second case, the receive power is lower than the receiver sensitivity or higher than the free space receive power due to fading. The relevant alarms and performance events are as follows: l
RADIO_RSL_HIGH
l
RADIO_RSL_LOW
l
RSL_CUR
l
RSL_MAX
l
RSL_MIN
l
RSL_AVG NOTE
In the case of the radio link whose AM function is enabled, the receiver sensitivity is the specific receiver sensitivity at the guaranteed capacity. For details on the receiver sensitivity, see the OptiX RTN 950 Radio Transmission System Product Description.
Generally, external interference is classified into co-channel interference and adjacent channel interference. l
Co-channel interference refers to crosstalk from two different radio transmitters that use the same frequency channel. Hence, the entire spectrum may be affected.
l
Adjacent channel interference refers to signal impairment to one frequency, due to presence of another signal on a nearby frequency. Hence, a part of the spectrum is affected.
Interference is closely related to the frequency. Hence, the radio link may be faulty in one direction if interference exists on the radio link.

Fault Causes Table 5-4 Causes of radio link faults Fault
Common Fault Cause
The transmit power is abnormal.
The ODU is faulty.
The receive power is always lower than the normal value.
l
The antenna direction is not adjusted properly.
l
The antennas have different polarization directions.
l
There is a mountain or building in the transmit direction.
l
The antenna is faulty or the connection between the antenna and the ODU is abnormal (for example, the waveguide interface of the ODU is wet or the flexible waveguide is not connected properly).
l
The ODU is faulty.
The receive power is abnormal due to slow up fading.
There is external interference.
The receive power is abnormal due to slow down fading.
The fading margin is insufficient.
The receive power is abnormal due to fast fading.
The multipath fading is fast.
The receive power is normal, but faults occur on the radio link intermittently.
There is external interference.
NOTE
Based on the RSL, fading is classified into up fading and down fading. l
Up fading The RSL is higher than the RSL in the free space. The difference can be 10-odd decibels.
l
Down fading The RSL is lower than the RSL after free space fading. The difference can be tens of decibels.
Based on the fading time, fading is classified into fast fading and slow fading. l
Fast fading The fading lasts from several milliseconds to tens of seconds.
l
Slow fading The fading lasts from tens of seconds to several hours.
Generally, slow down fading and fast fading are caused by factors related to the transmission link. Hence, the radio link may be faulty in both directions in the case of slow down fading or fast fading.

4 Troubleshoot the anomaly that the receive power is lower than the normal value.
The troubleshooting procedure is as follows: 1. If the receive power decreases sharply and does not recover, check the installation of the antenna. Ensure that the azimuth angle of the antenna meets the requirement. Check whether the antenna is aligned properly. Check whether the received signal is from the main lobe. If the antenna direction is not aligned properly, adjust the antenna in a wide range. 2. If the difference between the receive power of the main ODU and standby ODU at one end of the 1+1 HSB radio link is beyond the range from 0 dB to 9 dB (in the case of an unbalanced hybrid coupler) or beyond the range from 0 dB to 5 dB (in the case of a balanced hybrid coupler), perform 1+1 HSB switching or replace the ODUs and hybrid coupler to narrow down the fault to a specific part. 3. If the difference between the RSL at the receive end and transmit end is larger than 10 dB, replace the ODUs to check whether the main or standby ODU is faulty. 4. Check whether the setting of the polarization direction of the antenna is correct. Rectify the wrong polarization direction. 5. Replace the ODUs and hybrid coupler to narrow down the fault to a specific part. 6. Check whether there is a mountain or building in the transmit direction. 7. Check whether the gains of the antennas at the receive and transmit ends comply with the specifications. Replace the antenna whose gain does not comply with the specifications.
5 Troubleshoot slow up fading.
The troubleshooting procedure is as follows: 1. Check whether there is co-channel interference. 1. Mute the ODU at the opposite end. 2. Check the RSL at the local end. If the RSL exceeds -90 dBm, it indicates that there is co-channel interference that may affect the long-term availability and performance of the system. 2. Use a spectrum analyzer to analyze the interference source. 3. Contact the spectrum management department to clear the interference spectrum or change plans to reduce the interference.
6 Troubleshoot slow down fading.

8 Troubleshoot interference.
l
Adjust the position of the antenna to block the reflected wave or make the reflection point fall on the ground that has a small reflection coefficient, thus reducing the multipath fading.
l
Adjust the RF configuration to change the radio link to the 1+1 SD mode.
l
In the case of a 1+1 SD radio link, adjust the height difference between two antennas to ensure that the receive power of one antenna is higher than the receive power of the other antenna.
l
Increase the fading margin, by replacing the original antennas with antennas of a larger diameter or increasing the transmit power of the original antennas.
The troubleshooting procedure is as follows: 1. Check whether there is co-channel interference. 1. Mute the ODU at the opposite end. 2. Check the RSL at the local end. If the RSL exceeds -90 dBm, it indicates that there is co-channel interference that may affect the long-term availability and performance of the system. 2. Check whether there is adjacent channel interference. 1. Mute the ODU at the opposite end. 2. Adjust the microwave working mode at the local end and use the minimum channel spacing. 3. Decrease the receive frequency at the local end by a half of the channel spacing. 4. Test and record the RSL. 5. Increase the receive frequency at the local end, with a step of 0.5 MHz or 1 MHz. Record the RSL accordingly until the receive frequency is equal to the original receive frequency plus a half of the channel spacing. 6. Compare the recorded RSL values, and check whether the RSL in a certain spectrum is abnormal if the received frequency is within the permitted range. 3. Use a spectrum analyzer to analyze the interference source. 4. Contact the spectrum management department to clear the interference spectrum or change plans to reduce the interference.

The troubleshooting procedure is as follows: 1. Perform an inloop at the IF port. If the fault persists after the inloop is performed, replace the IF board. 2. Check whether the cable connector is made in accordance with specifications. If any cable connectors do not comply with the specifications, see the Installation Reference and remake cable connectors. 3. Check whether the IF cable is soggy, broken, or pressed. If yes, replace the IF cable. 4. Replace the ODU. If the fault is rectified after the ODU is replaced, it indicates that the ODU is faulty.
Experience and Summary l
During the commissioning, ensure that the antenna is aligned properly, to prevent possible incipient faults.
l
Periodically collect and analyze the data about the changes in the transmit power and receive power so that you can detect and then rectify the incipient faults accordingly in time.

The troubleshooting procedure is as follows: 1. Check whether the line board reports the B1_EXC, B1_SD, or RS_CROSSTR alarm. 2. Interchange the Tx fiber core and the Rx fiber core at both ends of the service path. If bit errors change after the exchange, it indicates that the fiber is faulty. Otherwise, the equipment at both ends of the service path is faulty. 3. In the case of a fiber fault, check whether the fiber between the equipment and the ODF and the section of the fiber that is led out of the telecommunications room are pressed. In addition, check whether the fiber connectors are clean. 4. In the case of faults at both ends of the service path, use a fiber jumper to loop back the optical ports. If the fault persists after the loopback, the line board may be faulty. 5. In the case of faults at both ends of the service path, you can also replace the board where the line unit is located or interchange between the board and another board of the same type that is working normally. If the alarm changes after the exchange, it indicates that the board is faulty.

AUPJCNEW NOTE
The AU pointer justification is made at an upstream NE but is detected and reported at a downstream NE.
When the service is configured to be at the VC-12 level, apply the reframing process to terminate the AU pointer justification. The terminating method is to transform the AU pointer justification into the TU pointer justification. The performance events related to the TU pointer justification are as follows: l

The troubleshooting procedure is as follows: 1. Locate a VC-4 channel that reports an AU pointer justification event. 2. Along the service source direction of the VC-4 channel, locate the source NE of the entire VC-4 service (not the source NE of a timeslot in the VC-4). 3. Set the clock of the source NE to the free-run mode. Set the other NEs to trace the clock of the source NE along the direction of the VC-4 service. 4. Along the clock tracing direction, locate the line board that is the first to report the AU pointer justification of the VC-4 path. The clock of the remote NE to which the line board is connected is asynchronous with the reference clock. Hence, the line board on the remote NE that receives the clock signal, the line board that sends the clock signal to the remote NE, and the clock unit of the remote NE, may be faulty. 5. Set the clock of the sink NE to the free-run mode. Set the other NEs to trace the clock of the sink NE along the direction of the VC-4 service. 6. Along the clock tracing direction, locate the line board that is the first to report the AU pointer justification of the VC-4 path.

The troubleshooting procedure is as follows: 1. Modify the service configuration to ensure that the NE where the clock reference source functions as the central NE and that the other NEs have the E1 services of the central NE. 2. Along the clock tracing direction, locate the NE that is the first to report the TU pointer justification event. The clock of the NE is asynchronous with the reference clock. Hence, the line board on the NE that receives the clock signal, the line board that sends the clock signal to the NE, and the clock unit of the NE, may be faulty. 3. Modify the configuration data to ensure that all the NEs trace the clock along the other direction. 4. Along the clock tracing direction, locate the NE that is the first to report the TU pointer justification event. The clock of the NE is asynchronous with the reference clock. Hence, the line board on the NE that receives the clock signal, the line board that sends the clock signal to the NE, and the clock unit of the NE, may be faulty. 5. Compare the results and find out the common points. NOTE This method is also applicable to locating an AU pointer justification event.
Replace the possibly faulty boards. In the case of a TU pointer justification event, check whether the line board, the clock board, and the tributary board are faulty.

Experience and Summary On a properly synchronized network, there are few pointer justifications (less than six per day on each port). Hence, monitoring the pointer of an SDH transmission system is an effective way to check the synchronization status of the system.
5.6 Troubleshooting the Interconnection with SDH Equipment An interconnection fault occurs when the NE fails in transmitting SDH services with other SDH equipment.
Fault Causes l
The VC-12 numbering method of the OptiX equipment is different from the numbering method of the equipment of certain vendors. The OptiX equipment applies the timeslot numbering method. The numbering formula is: VC-12 number = TUG-3 number + (TUG-2 number - 1) x 3 + (TU-12 number - 1) x 21. This method is also called as the method of numbering by order.

Certain equipment applies the line numbering method. The numbering formula is: VC-12 number = (TUG-3 number - 1) x 21 + (TUG-2 number - 1) x 3 + TU-12 number. This method is also called as the interleaved method. l
The overhead bytes at both ends are inconsistent.
l
The indexes of the SDH interfaces do not meet the requirements. NOTE
In the case of interconnection with ATM or Ethernet equipment, the common cause for an interconnection failure is that the service is not set to the VC-4 pass-through service and thus the overheads are processed in the terminating mode instead of the pass-through mode.
Fault Locating Methods Analyze the fault phenomena and alarms that are generated on the equipment. Check the possible fault causes one after another.

The troubleshooting procedure is as follows: l
Check the Ethernet cable. If the Ethernet cable is not qualified, replace it with a new one.
l
Change the Ethernet port that accesses the services on the Ethernet board. If the new port does not have the RMON performance of an FCS error, it indicates that the hardware of the original port is faulty. Otherwise, the hardware of the Ethernet port on the equipment at the opposite end is faulty.
Check the following points:

l
Whether the port operating rates on the equipment at both ends are the same
l
Whether the working modes (full duplex or half duplex) of the Ethernet port on the equipment at both ends are the same
l
Whether the Ethernet port is set to auto-negotiation mode at one end and the Ethernet port is set to full duplex mode at the opposite end (When the Ethernet port is set to auto-negotiation mode at one end, the Ethernet port must not be set to full duplex mode at the opposite end.)
4
Check for the cause for excessive broadcast packets (for example, you have set the loopback for the Ethernet interface board or set the VB filtering table incorrectly) and solve the problem. If the problem is caused on the equipment at the opposite end, set the threshold of broadcast packet suppression for an Ethernet port to reduce broadcast packets.

Database Backup and Restoration
About This Chapter The OptiX RTN 950 supports database backup and restoration through the NMS. 7.1 NE Database An NE database stores the communication data, security data, alarm data, performance data, and configuration data of an NE in a certain structure to facilitate the relevant query and modification, hence ensuring that the data can be restored after the NE is reset. 7.2 Backing Up the Database Manually The NE configuration data is stored in the database of an NE. To prevent the database from being damaged due to certain risky operations such as replacing a faulty system control, crossconnect, and timing board or upgrading the software, you need to manually back up the database on a regular basis and before performing any risk operation. 7.3 Setting the Database Backup Policy You can set the policy of backing up a database to realize the function of periodically backing up the database. 7.4 Restoring the Database If the database is damaged, you can restore the NE database by using the database files that are saved previously.

7 Database Backup and Restoration
7.1 NE Database An NE database stores the communication data, security data, alarm data, performance data, and configuration data of an NE in a certain structure to facilitate the relevant query and modification, hence ensuring that the data can be restored after the NE is reset. An NE database includes the following types: l
Memory database (MDB) The data in the MDB varies according to the configuration and is lost when the system control unit is reset or when the NE is powered off.
l
Dynamic random database (DRDB) The DRDB automatically stores the data that is checked successfully. The DRDB is resident in the reserved memory. Hence, the data in the DRDB is not lost when a warm reset is performed on the system control unit. The data, however, is lost when a cold reset is performed on the system control unit or when the NE is powered off.
l
Flash database (FDB) The FDB includes FDB0 and FDB1. The FDB is resident in the flash memory on the board. Hence, the data in the FDB is permanently stored.
After being delivered to the system control unit, the NE configuration data is stored in the MDB. After checking the NE configuration data successfully, the system control unit automatically copies the data from the MDB to the DRDB and delivers the board configuration data generated after successful check to the relevant board. The NE supports two backup schemes: l
Five minutes after the data configuration on the NE is completed, the NE backs up the DRDB database into the FDB0 and FDB1 databases of the flash memory.
l
The NE backs up the DRDB database into the FDB0 and FDB1 databases of the flash memory at an interval of 30 minutes.
After the NE is restarted because of power-off, the system control unit checks whether the configuration data in the DRDB is available. If yes, the system control unit restores the data. If the configuration data in the DRDB is damaged, the system control unit restores the data from FDB0 or FDB1. The system control, switching and timing board on the OptiX RTN 950 is installed with a CF card. When automatically copying data to the FDB, the DRDB in the system control unit copies the data to the database on the CF card accordingly. On the CF card, NE databases, system parameters (including NE-IP, NE-ID, and subnet mask), software packages, and NE logs are stored. After the CRV button on the system control, switching and timing board is pressed and held for eight seconds, the data stored on the CF card is loaded to the board. To synchronize the data on the CF card with the NE databases, system parameters, and NE logs on the system control, switching and timing board, the regular backup function needs to be enabled. NOTE
The software packages on the CF card are updated with those on the system control, switching and timing board during package diffusion. Therefore, no automatic or manual operation is performed to synchronize the software packages. When the system control, switching and timing board and the CF card have different software packages or data, the SWDL_PKGVER_MM alarm is reported.

About This Chapter This topic describes the common maintenance operations. 8.1 Hardware Loopback Hardware loopback refers to the loopback operation performed by changing the physical connection. 8.2 Cleaning Fiber Connectors and Adapters The optical connectors are easily contaminated in the maintenance process. The minute dust particles that can be seen only in the microscope can also affect the quality of optical signals. In this case, the system performance deteriorates. Hence, the fiber connectors or adapters that are terminated need to be cleaned in time. 8.3 Browsing Alarms, Abnormal Events, and Performance Events The U2000 is used to browse alarms, abnormal events, and performance events at the network layer. 8.4 Querying a Report You can obtain the version, manufacture, and microwave link information of all the boards by querying the corresponding report. 8.5 Software Loopback Software loopback refers to the loopback operation that is implemented by using the NMS. During software loopback, you need not visit the engineering site. Hence, software loopback is used more widely than hardware loopback. 8.6 Reset Reset is an important method of troubleshooting software faults. Reset is classified into cold reset, warm reset. 8.7 PRBS Test The pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) test is an important method of network maintenance and self-check. 8.8 Querying the License Capacity You can check whether the loaded license file meets the requirements by querying the license capacity.

8.9 Setting the On/Off State of the Laser When performing operations such as testing a fiber cut, you can set the on/off state of the laser rather than removing and re-inserting the optical fiber on site. 8.10 Setting the ALS Function The SDH optical interface board supports the automatic laser shutdown (ALS) function. This function enables the board to turn off a laser when the board does not transmit services, the optical fiber is faulty, or the received optical signals are lost. 8.11 Setting the Automatic Release Function To protect the communication between the NMS and NE against improper operations, an NE supports the automatic release of the ODU muting, software loopback, and other operations that require you to exercise caution. The automatic release time is five minutes by default. You can set whether to enable the automatic release function and the automatic release time through the NMS. 8.12 Configuring the Performance Monitoring Status of NEs By default, the performance monitoring of NEs is enabled. You can disable or enable this function manually and set the period of the performance monitoring of NEs manually. 8.13 Querying the Impedance of an E1 Channel The impedance of an E1 channel is 75 ohms or 120 ohms, which cannot be set through the NMS. 8.14 Monitoring Ethernet Packets Through Port Mirroring To monitor and analyze the Ethernet packets at a port, you can enable the port mirroring function so that the received or transmitted packets on the port are duplicated to another Ethernet port to which the Ethernet tester is connected. Then, you can monitor and analyze the packets. 8.15 Querying the Attributes of an Ethernet Port Through the operation, you can learn about the attributes of an Ethernet port, such as rate, MAC address, and actual working mode. 8.16 Switching the System Control Unit and the Cross-Connect Unit When the OptiX RTN 950 is configured with two system control, cross-connect, and timing boards, you can manually switch the system control unit and the cross-connect unit as required.

8.1 Hardware Loopback Hardware loopback refers to the loopback operation performed by changing the physical connection.
Background Information Hardware loopback is classified into optical cable loopback, PDH cable loopback, and Ethernet port loopback. l
Optical cable loopback indicates that the receive and transmit optical fibers are connected through a fiber jumper on the ODF. In certain occasions, an optical attenuator is added based on the actual situation, to prevent the optical board from being damaged by the excessive receive optical power.
l
PDH cable loopback indicates that the receive and transmit PDH cables are connected through a short-circuiting cable or connector on the DDF.
l
Ethernet port loopback indicates that the receive and transmit service signals on one Ethernet port are looped back through a special loopback Ethernet cable.
8.2 Cleaning Fiber Connectors and Adapters The optical connectors are easily contaminated in the maintenance process. The minute dust particles that can be seen only in the microscope can also affect the quality of optical signals. In this case, the system performance deteriorates. Hence, the fiber connectors or adapters that are terminated need to be cleaned in time. 8.2.1 Cleaning Fiber Connectors by Using Cartridge Cleaners When there are special cartridge cleaners (such as the CLETOP cassette cleaner), use them for cleaning the fiber connectors. 8.2.2 Cleaning Fiber Connectors by Using Lens Tissue When there is no cartridge cleaners, use the lens tissue for cleaning fiber connectors. 8.2.3 Cleaning Fiber Adapters by Using Optical Cleaning Sticks The fiber adapters need to be cleaned with optical cleaning sticks. This topic describes the method of cleaning fiber adapters on the optical interface board. The same method can be used to clean fiber adapters on the optical attenuators and flanges.

A.3.9 B1_SD Description The B1_SD is an alarm indicating that the signal degrades due to the excessive B1 errors (in the regenerator section). This alarm occurs when the board detects that the B1 errors exceed the preset B1_SD alarm threshold (10-6 by default) but do not reach the preset B1_EXC alarm threshold (10-3 by default). An IF board that works in PDH mode may also report this alarm. This alarm is detected by using the self-defined overhead byte B1 in PDH microwave frames.

The possible causes of HSB protection switching are as follows: –
Cause 1: An external switching event occurs
–
Cause 2: An automatic switching event occurs.

Cause 3: A reverse switching event occurs.
The possible causes of HSM protection switching are as follows: –
In the case of Hybrid radio, the automatic switching condition of the HSM is that the quality of the main channel degrades.
–
In the case of SDH/PDH radio, an alarm that triggers HSM switching is reported on the radio link.
Procedure Step 1 Determine the type of the protection switching based on the alarm parameters. Step 2 Cause 1 of HSB switching: An external switching event occurs. That is, the NMS issues a command to trigger the switching. (1) Check whether the switching is the forced switching or manual switching. For details, see Querying the IF 1+1 Protection Status. If...

Step 5 Cause 1 of HSM switching: In the case of Hybrid radio, the quality of the main channel degrades. (1) Check whether the AM_DOWNSHIFT alarm is reported by an IF board. If the alarm is reported by an IF board, refer to AM_DOWNSHIFT to rectify the fault that causes the quality of the main channel to degrade. If the alarm is not reported by an IF board, the quality of the main channel degrades possibly due to the weather. In this case, you do not need to handle the problem, because this is a normal situation. Step 6 Cause 2 of HSM switching: In the case of SDH/PDH radio, an alarm that triggers HSM switching is reported on the radio link. (1) Check whether any alarm that triggers HSM switching is reported by an IF board of the IF 1+1 protection group. If yes, take priority to clear the alarm. HSM switching may be triggered by any of the following alarms: l
R_LOC, R_LOF, R_LOS, or MW_LOF
l
MW_FEC_UNCOR

Impact on System AMDOWNCNT and AMUPCNT indicate only statistical values and do not affect the system.
Related Alarms AM_DOWNSHIFT
Possible Causes When the AM function is enabled, the transmission modulation scheme that the IF port on the IF board uses varies according to the quality of the link. Accordingly, the system counts the performance events of the modulation scheme shift. When the low-efficiency modulation scheme is shifted to the high-efficiency modulation scheme, an upshift is recorded and one AMUPCNT event is counted. Similarly, when the high-efficiency modulation scheme is shifted to the low-efficiency modulation scheme, a downshift is recorded and one AMDOWNCNT event is counted.
C.3.2 ATPC_P_ADJUST and ATPC_N_ADJUST Description l
ATPC_P_ADJUST indicates the positive ATPC adjustment event. This performance event indicates that the quality of a communication link declines. Thus, you must increase the transmit power of the ODU to maintain the communication quality.
l
ATPC_N_ADJUST indicates the negative ATPC adjustment event. This performance event indicates that the quality of a communication link becomes well or the transmit power of the ODU is very large. Thus, you can decrease the transmit power of the ODU.

C-19
OptiX RTN 950 Maintenance Guide (U2000)
C Performance Event Reference
When the factors that affect a communication link, such as sudden change of the weather, do not exist, and when the ATPC adjustment count is very large, the communication link may be faulty. You must check the communication link to prevent it from failure.
Related Alarms None.

E Alarm Management
E.1 NE Alarm Management The NE alarm management function set by user is applicable to all the boards on the NE. The equipment supports the following NE alarm management functions: l
Settings of the alarm storage mode
l
Setting of the alarm delay
l
Setting of the alarm reversion mode
For details about these functions, see the manuals or online Help of the NMS.
E.2 Board Alarm Management The board alarm management function is only applicable to the board on which users have configured this function. E.2.1 Setting the Alarm Level Alarms are classified into four levels: critical, major, minor, and warning, according to their severities. The maintenance personnel can change the alarm level by using the NMS. E.2.2 Alarm Suppression The maintenance personnel can change the alarm monitoring attribute by setting the alarm suppression function. A board detects only the alarms that are not suppressed. The alarm suppression function helps users to ignore their unconcerned alarms. E.2.3 Alarm Auto-Report If Alarm Auto-Report is set to Reported, all the detected alarms are reported to the NMS in a timely manner. If Alarm Auto-Report is set to Not Report, the alarms are reported only when alarm query is performed on the NMS. The maintenance personnel can change the setting on the NMS. E.2.4 Alarm Reversion In the case of a port that is not configured with services, certain alarms may be reported. To filter the alarms that users are not concerned, set these alarms to be reversed. In this manner, the alarm status at this port is the opposite to the actual case. That is, the status is displayed as normal when an alarm is actually reported. E.2.5 Setting of the Bit Error Alarm Threshold When the number of bit errors detected by a board exceeds a specified number, the board generates a bit error alarm. This specific number is the bit error alarm threshold, and the setting of this threshold is supported by all the bit error threshold-crossing and degrading alarms on the NE. E.2.6 AIS Insertion AIS insertion can be set for certain alarms reported on a board. When the board detects the alarms, it inserts all 1s into the lower level service to indicate the remote end that the service is unavailable. E.2.7 UNEQ Insertion When a board detects that the service path is not in use or that the LOS alarm exists, it inserts all 0s into the service signal to notify the remote end that this signal is unavailable.

E.2.1 Setting the Alarm Level Alarms are classified into four levels: critical, major, minor, and warning, according to their severities. The maintenance personnel can change the alarm level by using the NMS. This function is supported by all the boards.
E.2.2 Alarm Suppression The maintenance personnel can change the alarm monitoring attribute by setting the alarm suppression function. A board detects only the alarms that are not suppressed. The alarm suppression function helps users to ignore their unconcerned alarms. This function is supported by all the boards.
E.2.3 Alarm Auto-Report If Alarm Auto-Report is set to Reported, all the detected alarms are reported to the NMS in a timely manner. If Alarm Auto-Report is set to Not Report, the alarms are reported only when alarm query is performed on the NMS. The maintenance personnel can change the setting on the NMS. This function is supported by all the boards.
E.2.4 Alarm Reversion In the case of a port that is not configured with services, certain alarms may be reported. To filter the alarms that users are not concerned, set these alarms to be reversed. In this manner, the alarm status at this port is the opposite to the actual case. That is, the status is displayed as normal when an alarm is actually reported. The alarm reversion function is available in three modes, namely, non-revertive, automatic reversion, and manual reversion. l
Non-revertive In this mode, the alarms are monitored by default and alarm reversion cannot be enabled for a port.
l
Auto reversion In this mode, alarm reversion can be enabled for a port where alarms are reported. After alarm reversion is enabled at a port, alarms are not reported. When the current alarm is cleared, the alarm reversion automatically changes to the disabled status. That is, it changes to the non-revertive mode. Then, the alarm reporting status at the port is the same as the actual status.
l
Manual reversion In this mode, alarm reversion can be enabled for a port regardless of whether any alarms are reported at the port. After alarm reversion is enabled, the alarm reporting status at the port is the same as the actual status. After alarm reversion is manually disabled, the alarm reversion status changes to the non-revertive mode. Then, the alarm reporting status at the port is the same as the actual status.
Pay attention to the following points when you set the alarm reversion function: l

Cyclic Redundancy Check
A procedure used in checking for errors in data transmission. CRC error checking uses a complex calculation to generate a number based on the data transmitted. The sending device performs the calculation before transmission and includes it in the packet that it sends to the receiving device. The receiving device repeats the same calculation after transmission. If both devices obtain the same result, it is assumed that the transmission was error free. The procedure is known as a redundancy check because each transmission includes not only data but extra (redundant) error-checking values.
