The following table describes the parameters in response to the display ont-profile profile-id 1 command. Parameter Description profile-id Indicates the ID of the ONT capability set profile. profile-name Indicates the name of the ONT capability set profile. Number of POTS ports Indicates the number of POTS ports. When the value is adaptive, it indicates adaptive mode, in which the number of POTS ports is set based on the actual number on the ONT. Number of ETH ports Indicates the number of ETH ports. When the value is adaptive, it indicates adaptive mode, in which the number of Ethernet ports is set based on the actual number on the ONT. Number of VDSL ports Indicates the number of VDSL ports. When the value is adaptive, it indicates adaptive mode, in which the number of VDSL ports is set based on the actual number on the ONT. TDM port type Indicates the TDM port type. It can be E1 or T1 type. TDM service type Indicates the TDM service type. It can be TDMoGEM type only, that is, TDM service over GPON encapsulation mode. Number of TDM ports Indicates the number of TDM ports. Number of MOCA ports Indicates the number of MOCA ports. Number of CATV UNI ports Indicates the number of CATV ports on the user side. When the value is adaptive, it indicates adaptive mode, in which the number of CATV ports is set based on the actual number on the ONT. Mapping mode Indicates the mapping mode between the service stream and the GEM port. In single-bridge mode, the mapping mode can be configured to VLANID, 802_1PPRI, or VLANID+802_1PPRI. The default mode is VLANID. In multi-bridge mode, the mapping mode can be configured to PORT ID. You can run the mapping-mode(gpon profile) command to configure the mapping mode. By default, the ONT supports the VLAN mapping mode. Each [urlhttp://www.thunder-link.com/HG8245H_p698.html]ONT[/url] can be configured with only one mapping mode. The type of flow control Indicates the type of the flow control, which can be PQ, GEMPORT-CAR, or FLOW-CAR. When the PQ mode is used, you need to define the sending queue of the GEM port packets in the T-CONT. The T-CONT sends the upstream data strictly according to the queue priority. By default, there are eight queues (queue 0 to queue 7) in the system. Queue 7 has the highest priority and the traffic of this queue is assured first. When the GEMPORT-CAR mode is used, the ONT restricts the rate of data packets carried on the GEM port based on the flow control settings of the GEM port. When the GEM port carries multiple service streams, the default scheduling mode of the ONT determines whether the PQ scheduling, WRR scheduling, or PQ+WRR scheduling is used. If there are multiple GEM ports in the T-CONT, the scheduling mode of the data packets between the GEM ports is also determined by the default scheduling mode of the ONT. When the FLOW-CAR mode is used, the ONT controls all service streams carried on the GEM port one by one, which is more refined as compared with the flow control in the GEM flow control mode. After the flow control of the service streams is complete, the service streams are scheduled in the T-CONT queue. The scheduling mode is determined by the default scheduling mode of the ONT. Binding times Indicates the binding times of the ONT capability set profile. The following table describes the parameters in response to the display ont-profile all command. Parameter Description GPON Profile ID Indicates the ID of the ONT capability set profile. Profile name Indicates the name of the ONT capability set profile. Binding Times Indicates the binding times of the ONT capability set profile.

CAC check errors are displayed when you create a link. Hence, you need to delete the useless connections on the port. Product OptiX OSN 1500A/1500B OptiX OSN 2500 OptiX OSN 3500 OptiX OSN 7500 Fault Type Configuration_Problem Symptom When you create a connection, a CAC check error is displayed. A connection fails to be created. Cause Analysis The boards support the CAC check function. If a link needs to be created, and if the sum of selected traffic rate and the traffic rate of all the existing links at the port exceeds the total bandwidth of the port, a CAC check error is displayed. Consequently, the link fails to be created. Procedure Make sure that the selected traffic rate is less than the remaining bandwidth of the port when you create a link. Delete the links that are not required at the port, and then create new links again. Reference Information None. |
Many BD_STATUS alarms occur due to the ECC storm. Product OptiX BWS 1600G, OptiX OSN 2500 OptiX OSN 3500 II OptiX OSN 3500 OptiX OSN 7500 Fault Type NE offline ECC BD_STATUS Symptom In a network of the OptiX BWS 1600G, many NEs becomes unreachable to the T2000. The NE icons become grayed and then normal. In this process, each board reports the BD_STATUS alarm. This problem occurs several times a week, and lasts for one to two hours each time. NOTE: Recently, many NEs are expanded by adding boards or subracks. The new boards are all the LBE and TMX. Cause Analysis Conflict of IDs causes the BD_STATUS alarm and NEs to be unreachable. In a complex network, there may be more than one route available for inter-network communication due to application of the OSC, ESC, and extended ECC. As a result, the ECC data overflows to cause incorrect IDs and incorrect ECC routes. When an OptiX BWS 1600G NE is added, the DCN is configured improperly. Procedure Extract the log file of an OptiX BWS 1600G NE and check the ECC route. Many ECC routes are found, the number of which exceeds the number of NEs, that is, 20. When a new ID is created on the T2000, the T2000 prompts that the ID exceeds the range. Check the OptiX BWS 1600G subrack. The extended ECC and ECC are found enabled. As planned, the extended ECC communication of the gateway NE at site OTM is to be disabled. Then, the communication over the ECC route between gateway NEs are terminated. Many NEs, however, are connected now. In this way, the ECC communication is terminated for most NEs in the network. The previous analysis shows that the problem may be due to an ECC storm. Disable all the extended ECC communication and most ESC communication on the OptiX BWS 1600G. Observation for weeks shows that the problem does not occur. It is suspected that the ID conflict causes the BD_STATUS alarm when new boards are configured. Finally, check on the subrack shows that the SCC is reset frequently in the case of the BD_STATUS alarm. Now, the alarm is cleared. An ECC storm causes the SCC to be so busy (confirmed by reset log) that it fails to respond to the signals of in-service boards. Then, the BD_STATUS alarm occurs. Reference Information None. |
If certain packets are discarded in a network that employs the QinQ function, you can solve the problem by adding bytes to short packets. Products OptiX OSN 1500A/1500B OptiX OSN 2500 OptiX OSN 3500 II OptiX OSN 3500 OptiX OSN 7500 Fault Type Configuration fault Symptom The point-to-point protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) client services enter a switch for convergence. The converged services are accessed to an OptiX NE for transmission over networks to the broadband access server at the destination end. The PPPoE active discovery session-confirmation (PADS) data packets in the downlink services returning from the broadband server to the client side are lost. As a result, the PPPoE verification fails. Cause Analysis The PPPoE services include the PADI, PADO, PADR and PADS data packets. Compared with the other types of data packets, the PADS data packet is only of a 64-byte length which is the minimum data packet length that the Ethernet supports. After the QinQ function is configured, two tags are added without changing the original data packet length: C-VLAN and S-VLAN. When the downlink services travel over the OptiX NE to the client-side NE, the external S-VLAN tag is detagged. Hence, the data packet length changes from 64 bytes to 60 bytes. As a result, when the 60-byte services travel over the switch, they are regarded as abnormal and extra-short Ethernet data packets and are thus discarded. In this case, the PPPoE endpoint cannot receive the PADS data packet. As a result, the PPPoE verification fails and the services are not available. Currently, some Ethernet boards are added with the short-packet length extension function against the problem that the extra-short data packets caused during detagging are discarded. When the length of a data packet is extra-short, it can be complemented on the Ethernet boards on the client side and system side to ensure that the data packet is transmitted at a length compliant with the Ethernet specification. |
The excessive attenuation between the TDC and RDC ports results in that the gain of the E3OAU cannot be set. Product OptiX BWS 1600G, Huawei OSN3500, Huawei MA5683T Fault Type Optical amplifier board Symptom In a new project, during network commissioning, the gain of the E3OAU board at a station needs to be enhanced. The gain value should be within the range and can be adjusted. The gain, however, cannot be set no matter through the network management system (NMS) or the command line. Cause Analysis According to the query, the output power at the TDC port of the E3OAU board is 10.5 dBm and the input power at the RDC port is -9.5 dBm. The attenuation between the TDC and RDC ports is 20 dB. Therefore, the gain of the board reaches the maximum and cannot be adjusted. The reason is that the attenuation between the TDC and RDC ports is excessive. Procedure The on-site engineers remove the tail fiber from the DCM module between the TDC and RDC, reconnect the OAU, and then re-query the gain. The re-query shows that the attenuation between the TDC and RDC decreases to about 8 dB. Through the network management system, the gain of the board can be set normally. The fault is ratified. Reference Information None. |
Six sets of OptiX OSN3500 that are configured with the N2SL64 boards form a 10 Gbit/s MSP ring. During the MSP ring switching test, the fiber is cut. The services, however, are not interrupted and the MSP switching is normal. Reconnect the fiber. The switching is restored after 10 minutes. The services, however, are interrupted immediately and are automatically restored in four minutes. At the same time, the optical board where switching is performed reports the B3_SD alarm. The B3_SD alarm lasts for two hours and then is automatically cleared. Check on the T2000. It is found that the MSP switching is normal. Replace the cross-connect board. It is found that the fault persists. |

Both the ONU and OLT check the link status and determine whether to trigger protection switching based on the link status. If the OLT detects a fault on link A in Figure 1, it automatically switches to the protection-side link and uses the protection-side link to send messages to ONU 1 to notify that protection switching has occurred. In addition, the OLT notifies ONU 1 of the switching cause. If ONU 1 detects a fault on link A in Figure 1, it automatically switches to the protection-side link and sends messages to the OLT to notify that protection switching has occurred. In addition, the ONU notifies the OLT of the switching cause. After switching, services on ONU 1 are transmitted to the OLT through the protection port, all the backbone fibers connected to the OLT transmitted service packets, and ONU N is not affected. The changes on ONU 1 are as follows: The state of the working port changes to standby. The state of the protection port changes to active, and service packets are transmitted through link B in Figure 1. After protection switching, ONU 1 can automatically switch back to the working port. The OLT sends an automatic switchback message and the switchback time, called the wait to restore (WTR) time, to the ONU. If the OLT learns that ONU 1's working port and the working-side line are functioning properly and the working-side line stays normal during the WTR time, the OLT automatically switches back to the working-side line when the WTR time expires. In addition, the OLT notifies the ONU of the switching and switching cause. If ONU 1 learns that its working port and the working-side line are functioning properly and the working-side line stays normal during the WTR time, the ONU automatically switches back to the working-side line when the WTR time expires. In addition, the ONU notifies the OLT of the switching and switching cause. |
The EXT ports on the AUX boards of two sets of the OptiX OSN 3500 are incorrectly connected. As a result, boards fail to be added. To solve this problem, remove the cable that incorrectly connects the EXT ports. Product OptiX OSN3500 Fault Type DCN Fault BD_STATUS Symptom One SEP1 board on the OptiX OSN 3500 reports the BD_STATUS in an interrupted manner. Erase the data on the SCC board, reset the SCC board. It is found that all boards fail to be added. After the boards are added through other methods, the BD_STATUS alarm on the original SEP1 board persists. The board type of the original SEP1 switches between the PQ1 and the SEP1. The board type of the original EU08 board in slot 19 switches between the EU08 and the D12S. In addition, the idle slot 20 is incorrectly shown to house the D12S board. Cause Analysis The data configuration on the SCC board may be incorrect or the inter-board communication may be faulty. Procedure Erase the database and then reset the SCC board. It is found that no reset record exists and that all boards fail to be added. Erase the database on the SCC board again. Then, reset the SCC board on site, and add boards again. It is found that the SCC board can be added but the other boards fail to be added. After all the boards are successfully added, the original SEP1 board still reports the BD_STATUS alarm in an interrupted manner. The board type of the original SEP1 switches between the PQ1 and the SEP1. The board type of the original EU08 board in slot 19 switches between the EU08 and the D12S. In addition, the idle slot 20 is incorrectly shown to house the D12S board. Exchange the SCC board with the SCC in the corresponding extended subrack (OptiX OSN 3500). Then, repeat Steps 1, 2, and 3, and then find that the problem persists. Check the cables on site. It is found that a cable is used to connect the EXT ports on the two sets of OptiX OSN 3500. Remove the cable and then find that the problem is solved. Reference Information The EXT ports of the main subrack and the extended subrack can be connected only when the UXCSA board is configured to connect to the extended subrack. In this case, the alarms and configuration information of the extended subrack are transmitted to the SCC board in the main subrack through the EXT ports. The extended subrack need not be configured with the SCC board and the XCE board. When the extended subrack is connected to a non-protection chain, the main subrack and extended subrack are independent of each other. Hence, the EXT ports of the main subrack and the extended subrack need not be connected. If the EXT ports are connected by a cable, collision occurs. As a result, boards fail to be added or cannot be smoothly added. In addition, even the board type switches. |
It is confirmed that the alarm is generated because the incorrect setting of the jumpers on the SCC board is sent to the field. The J17 and J16 jumpers on the N1GSCC board are used to control the input voltage of the equipment. Remove the jumper cap: The equipment adopts the power supply whose input voltage is -60 V. Maintain the jumper cap: The equipment adopts the power supply whose input voltage is -48 V. |
The PoE card of an S5700 is ES0D0G48VA00. The possible causes are as follows: The PoE power module is not installed in the PoE power slot. The PoE power module is not powered on. 3. The DIMM is faulty. For the handling methods, see "Cards Cannot Be Registered" in the Hardware Troubleshooting. |
Whether attenuators are required depends on the transmit power at the Tx end and the receive power range allowed at the Rx end. If the transmit power at the Tx end is beyond the receive power range allowed at the Rx end, attenuators are required. The path loss is small in short-distance transmission. If optical modules with a long transmission distance (generally more than 40 km) are used for short-distance connection, it is recommended that you use attenuators to reduce the receive power at the Rx end. |

During the deployment of the OptiX OSN equipment, two rings are isolated from each other, but the ECC communication is available between the two rings. Check the relevant information. It is found that the extended ECC function is automatically enabled. Hence, to isolated two rings, you need to disable the extended ECC function. Product OptiX OSN 3500 Fault Type DCN fault Symptom The OptiX OSN 3500 forms two rings: north ring and south ring. The two rings are isolated from each other. The north and south rings are connected to the NMS in the central equipment room through a hub for centralized monitoring. Check the ECC routing of the NE. It is found that the ECC routes between the north ring and the south ring are abnormally available. Cause Analysis The possible causes are as follows: The fiber connection between the north ring and the south ring in the central equipment room is incorrect. For example, the fibers of the south ring are connected to the north ring. The extended ECC function is automatically enabled. Procedure Disable the laser by using the T2000. It is found that the fiber connection on the north and south rings is correct. Check the ECC routing. The OptiX OSN equipment is newly deployed. Thus, the extended ECC function is not preset and is in the default mode. That is, the AUX board automatically enables the extended ECC function. Disable the extended ECC function. It is found that the ECC communication between the north and south rings is unavailable. Reference Information When the OSI protocol is started at the network interfaces, the ECC communication is available between isolated subnetworks. For details, see MC-B9 Fibers Are Not Connected Between Equipment but ECC Communication Between Equipment Is Available. |
Some optical ports reported the IN_PWR_ABN alarm, which indicated that the input optical power was abnormal, because optical modules were not securely installed. The fault was rectified by re-installing optical modules. Product OptiX OSN 3500 Fault Type IN_PWR_ABN Connection fault Symptom Some optical ports on a line board reported the IN_PWR_ABN alarm. The NMS showed that the input optical power at those optical ports was too high. NOTE: Generally, an optical port reports the LSR_NO_FITED alarm indicating that a laser is not installed if the optical module is not securely installed or is faulty. However, in this case, the optical ports reported the IN_PWR_ABN alarm instead of the LSR_NO_FITED alarm. Cause Analysis The possible causes are as follows: The input optical power was too high. The optical ports were faulty. The input power detection circuits on the line board were faulty. The optical modules were not securely installed. The optical modules were faulty. Procedure Viewed the IN_PWR_ABN alarm on the NMS and determined the ID of the alarmed port (assuming that the alarmed port was A and it housed optical module C). Measured the input optical power at optical port A using an optical power meter. The meter reported that the input optical power at optical port A was normal. Therefore, this issue was not related to the input optical power. Removed optical module C and inserted it into optical port B. Optical port B did not report the IN_PWR_ABN alarm. Therefore, this issue was not related to optical module C. Re-inserted optical module C into optical port A. Optical port A did not report the IN_PWR_ABN alarm, and the input optical power was normal. Therefore, the cause of this issue was that the optical module was not securely installed.

The ESC communication is interrupted and the NMS reports the NE_COMMU_BREAK and NE_NOT_LOGIN alarms. Cause Analysis The OptiX Metro 6100 and OptiX BWS 1600G support two types of supervisory channel: optical supervisory channel (OSC) and electrical supervisory channel (ESC). The ESC is transmitted by any OTU. The difference between the OSC and the ESC is that the OSC is transmitted by a dedicated supervisory channel board but the ESC is transmitted by the DCC byte or subcarrier module of the OTU. When the ESC is used for communication, in the case that only the OTUs are used for connection of two NEs, when the ALS function is enabled or the lasers on the OTUs are turned off forcibly, the communication on the remote NE is interrupted, and users cannot log in to the NE. Procedure Analyze the engineering document of the network and query the ECC routing table. It is confirmed that the ESC communication is used for the upstream and downstream NEs of the unreachable NE. It is confirmed that the lasers on an OTU board on the upstream peer NE are manually turned off for engineering purposes. An engineer must go to the station and turn on the lasers on the OTUs to restore the communication. Reference Information It is not recommended to use the ESC when two NEs are connected through the OTUs. If the ESC is used for communication, engineers must turn on the lasers of the OTUs forcibly and it is recommended to set Automatic Laser Shutdown to Disabled (Automatic Laser Shutdown for some OTU boards is set to Enabled by default). |
When the OTU board accesses light, the laser at output end is disabled. Product OptiX BWS 1600G Fault Type Protection Optical Transponder Unit Symptom During the TMX test in the OptiX BWS 1600G, it is found that no light is transmitted at the transmit end on the client side of the TMX board after the fiber on the WDM side of IN port is removed. After a meter is connected to the WDM side, the client-side laser on the TMX board cannot be enabled automatically (the automatic laser shutdown (ALS) function is enabled). In this case, you have to disable the ALS function, enable the client-side laser manually, and then enable the ALS function. Then, the situation becomes normal. That is, the client-side laser is enabled automatically after a meter is connected to the WDM side of the TMX board. Cause Analysis None. Procedure When the problem occurs, make sure that there is no R_LOS alarm on the OTU board (note that the alarm may be suppressed). If there is the R_LOS alarm and the automatic laser shutdown (ALS) function is enabled, the laser at the output end is disabled. Check whether the SCC issues a command to disable the laser or not. If yes, the ALS function cannot take effect, unless the SCC issues a command to enable the laser. Check whether the SCS protection is configured or not. If yes, the SCC disables the laser of one board to duplicate the service. In this case, the ALS function cannot take effect. Reference Information If there is service on the SCS, do not enable the laser that is disabled by the SCC. Otherwise, the service is interrupted, unless the fiber from the OTU to the SCS is removed. |

Transparent transmission of multicast data for private-line users Transparent transmission of IGMP messages In the upstream direction, the service board determines whether to transparently transmit the received IGMP messages according to the VLAN-level IGMP transparent transmission policy and service-port-level transparent transmission policy. If transparent transmission is allowed, IGMP messages are added with the SVLAN tag on the service board and then are transmitted to the control board. After arriving at the control board, IGMP messages are broadcast by the control board within the SVLAN. If transparent transmission is not allowed, IGMP messages are dropped. In the downstream direction, the IGMP messages transmitted from the network side are broadcast by the control board within the SVLAN and after they arrive at the service board, the service board determines whether to transparently transmit them according to the VLAN-level IGMP transparent transmission policy and service-port-level transparent transmission policy. If transparent transmission is allowed, the service board translates the SVLAN tag to the CLAN tag according to the configuration of the traffic stream and then transmits the messages to users. If transparent transmission is not allowed, IGMP messages are dropped. Transparent transmission of unknown multicast data In the upstream direction, the service board determines whether to transparently transmit the received unknown multicast data according to the VLAN-level IGMP transparent transmission policy and service-port-level transparent transmission policy. If transparent transmission is allowed, IGMP messages are added with the SVLAN tag on the service board and then are transmitted to the control board. After arriving at the control board, IGMP messages are broadcast by the control board within the SVLAN. If transparent transmission is not allowed, IGMP messages are dropped. In the downstream direction, the unknown multicast data transmitted from the network side is broadcast by the control board within the SVLAN and after the data arrives at the service board, the service board determines whether to transparently transmit the data according to the VLAN-level IGMP transparent transmission policy and service-port-level transparent transmission policy. If transparent transmission is allowed, the service board translates the SVLAN tag to the CLAN tag according to the configuration of the traffic stream and then transmits the data to users. If transparent transmission is not allowed, unknown multicast data is dropped. NOTE: To prevent the multicast data of the multicast user provisioned with multicast service from being transmitted to the upstream unauthorized multicast sources, make sure that the policy of transmitting unknown multicast data is set to drop. The transparent transmission policies of unknown multicast traffic have the switches of two levels on a service board: the VLAN level and the service port level. When the two switches are both set to transparent transmission, the policy is transparent transmission. When either of the two switches is set to drop, the policy is drop. (Only transparent transmission is supported for connection-oriented traffic and the policy is not configurable in this case.) Co-existence of IPTV service and transparent transmission of multicast data Multi-service-port solution IPTV service and multicast transparent transmission service are carried on two service ports, and the SVLAN of the service port that carries multicast transparent transmission service must not be the MVLAN. The service port that carries IPTV service processes the received IGMP messages following the flow of processing IPTV service, and forwards the multicast data according to the multicast forwarding entry. The service port that carries multicast transparent transmission service transparently transmits or drops the received IGMP messages according to the IGMP transparent transmission policy of the traffic stream, and transmits or drops the received unknown multicast data according to the unknown multicast transparent transmission policy of the traffic stream. Single-service-port solution IPTV service and multicast transparent transmission service are carried on one service port, whose SVLAN must not be the MVLAN. When the Access Node receives upstream IGMP messages, it matches the multicast group address in IGMP messages to the programs in the MVLAN. If the group address successfully matches a program, the Access Node processes the messages as IPTV service. If the group address fails to match any program, the Access Node determines whether to transparently transmit the messages according to the IGMP transparent transmission policy of the SVLAN and service port. The Access Node transparently transmits the messages only when the IGMP transparent transmission policy is enabled for both the SVLAN and service port. If the Access Node receives downstream IGMP messages that carry the MVLAN tag, the Access Node processes the IGMP messages as IPTV service. If the messages carry the SVLAN tag, the Access Node forwards them according to the IGMP transparent transmission policy of the SVLAN and service port. The Access Node transparently transmits the messages only when the IGMP transparent transmission policy is enabled for both the SVLAN and service port. If the Access Node receives the multicast data of IPTV service, the Access Node forwards the multicast data according to the multicast forwarding entry. If the multicast data is unknown, the Access Node forwards the data according to the unknown multicast transparent transmission policy of the VLAN and service port. The Access Node transparently transmits the data only when the unknown multicast transparent transmission policy is enabled for both the SVLAN and service port.

The downstream optical amplifier board does not report MUT_LOS when the service between the upstream optical amplifier board and the FIU board is interrupted. Product OptiX Metro 6100 OptiX Metro 6040 Fault Type Service Interruption Optical Power Abnormity Optical Multiplexer and Demultiplexing Unit Optical Amplifier Unit MUT_LOS Symptom The downstream optical amplifier board does not report MUT_LOS when the service between the upstream optical amplifier board and the FIU board is interrupted because of fiber jumper failure. Cause Analysis The transmit optical power of the SC2 ranges from 0 dBm to -4 dBm. The threshold for the downstream optical amplifier board to report MUT_LOS is -35 dBm. Assume that the transmit optical power of the upstream SC2 is -2 dBm. When the loss on the line side is no less than 19.5 dB (35-2-1.5-12, where 1.5 is the insertion loss of the FIU and 12 is the isolation of the FIU), the downstream optical amplifier board reports the MUT_LOS alarm. When the WDM equipment is used in a MAN, the line loss is normally smaller than 19.5 dB. In this case, the downstream optical amplifier board does not report the MUT_LOS alarm when there is a fiber cut between the upstream optical amplifier board and the FIU. Procedure Check the output optical power of the upstream optical amplifier board. The output optical power is within the normal range. Check the input optical power of the upstream FIU. The input optical power is very low. This indicates that the fiber between the optical amplifier board and the FIU is faulty. Replace the fiber between the upstream optical amplifier board and the FIU. Then, the services become normal. Reference Information None. |
The LWF board reports R_LOS because the incorrect fiber type leads to dispersion over-compensation. Product OptiX BWS 1600G Fault Type Dispersion Abnormity Optical Transponder Unit Fiber R_LOS R_LOF Symptom In a national backbone WDM network, the OptiX BWS 1600G is used. A, B, C, and D are the OTM, OLA, OADM, and OTM stations respectively. The distance between A, B, C, and D is more than 100 km. The 120 km dispersion compensation module (DCM) is added between C and D. A 100 km DCM is configured at the transmit end and a 20 km is configured at the receive end. The OTU boards that are configured at stations A, C, and D are the LWM, LWF, and LQG. The OTU is forced to emit light. After the system commissioning is complete, the LWF boards at stations A, C, and D report R_LOS on the WDM side. Cause Analysis The per-channel optical power is very low or no light is received. The multiplexer/demultiplexer device is faulty, which causes wavelength drop. The LWF board is faulty. The OSNR does not meet the design requirements. There is problem in the dispersion. Procedure The LWF boards at stations A, C, and D report R_LOS. Hence, the cause cannot lie in a certain board. Use an optical power meter to measure the optical power at the IN interface of every LWM board. The optical power is about -8 dBm, which meets the requirement. Hence, the problem is not caused by the LWF, D40, M40, or MR2. In the same system, the problem does not occur on the LWM and LQG at 2.5 Gbit/s. Because the board at 10 Gbit/s has different OSNR and dispersion requirements from the board at 2.5 Gbit/s, the problem must be caused by a dispersion problem. Remove the 20 km DCM at the receive end at station D. The alarm persists. Then, remove the 100 km DCM at the transmit end at station D, the alarm that is reported at station C changes to R_LOF. Remove the DCM at station C, the alarms on the corresponding LWFs at stations A and D change to R_LOF. Hence, the problem lies in the dispersion. Remove the 100 km DCM and the R_LOF alarm persists. The dispersion to be compensated that is obtained during the design phase cannot be more than 100 km. Check the fibers that are used on site. The G.655 fibers are used. The G.652 fibers, however, are used during the design phase. Hence, replace the fibers between station A and station D. Then, the R_LOS on the WDM side of the LWF is cleared and the problem is solved. Reference Information None. |
