Commissioning Procedure (OTN)

This section describes the general commissioning procedures for the OTN system.
The commissioning procedures for the equipment can be divided into two parts: optical power commissioning and network commissioning.

• Optical power commissioning procedures individually commission the optical power values of NEs and boards based on the optical signal flow. They also remove the abnormal attenuation of lines or boards based on the requirements of optical power, and the gain and insertion losses of the boards.
• Network commissioning procedures include the commissioning protection function, commissioning feature function, testing bit errors, and other functional commissioning operations at the network level.

 NOTE:

For the ASON network, the commissioning procedures and requirements refer to Automatic Commissioning Process and Commissioning Items for ASON Network.

Figure 1 and Figure 2 provides the general commissioning procedures.

Figure 1 General commissioning procedures for OptiX OSN 8800/OSN 6800

Figure 2 General commissioning procedures for OptiX OSN 3800

You can perform the commissioning and configuration during deployment of the equipment by using either the iManager U2000 (U2000 for short) or the OptiX iManager U2000 Web LCT (Web LCT for short). All the operations that can be performed on the Web LCT can be performed on the U2000. Compared with U2000, the Web LCT has lower requirements on the computer hardware and can be started quickly.
Table 1 lists the tasks for the commissioning and configuration during deployment.

Table 1 List of tasks for the commissioning and configuration during deployment

No.	Task	Mandatory/Optional	Tool
1	Creating NEs in Batches.	Mandatory	U2000 or Web LCT
2	Creating Optical NEs.	Mandatory	U2000
3	Setting NE Power Consumption Threshold.	Mandatory	U2000
4	Uploading the NE Data.	Mandatory	U2000
5	Setting NE ID and IP.	Mandatory	U2000 or Web LCT
6	Synchronizing the NE Time with the U2000/Web LCT Server Manually.	Mandatory	U2000 or Web LCT
7	Setting Performance Monitoring Parameters of an NE.	Mandatory	U2000 or Web LCT
8	Setting Manually Extended ECC Communication. Perform this task when the network uses HWECC for communication and more than four Huawei equipment NEs use the extended ECC for communication.	Optional	U2000
	Configuring IP over DCC. Perform this task when the network uses IP over DCC for communication.	Optional	U2000
	Configuring OSI over DCC. Perform this task when the network uses OSI over DCC for communication.	Optional	U2000
10	Checking Network-Wide Software Version.	Optional	U2000
11	Configuring Boards.	Mandatory	U2000 or Web LCT
12	Creating Fiber Connections in Graphic Mode. Perform this task on the U2000.	Mandatory on the U2000	U2000
13	Creating Single-Station Optical Cross-Connection. Perform this task when ROADM stations are configured on the actual network.	Optional according to the network	U2000 or Web LCT
14	Creating OCh Trails by Trail Search. Perform this task on the U2000.	Mandatory on the U2000	U2000
15	Configuring the OSNR Detection Based on Optical Doctor. Perform this task on the U2000.	Optional	U2000
16	Commission optical power by using one of the following methods as required: Commissioning Optical Power on Site Remotely Commissioning Optical Power NOTE: This document uses a 40-channel system as an example to describe optical power commissioning. The optical power commissioning methods for an 80-channel system are similar. The main difference is that the 40-channel system and 80-channel system have different requirements on nominal single-wavelength optical power and single-wavelength incident optical power for OA boards.	Mandatory	U2000 or Web LCT
17	Configuring Services.	Mandatory	U2000
18	Configuring System Features.	Mandatory	U2000
19	Viewing Current Alarms on an NE and Removing Abnormal Alarms.	Mandatory	U2000 or Web LCT
20	Testing Protection Switching.	Mandatory	U2000
21	Testing Data Features.	Mandatory	U2000
