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.

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.

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.
