1 Safety Precautions
This topic describes the safety precautions that you must follow when installing, operating,
and maintaining Huawei devices.
Grounding Requirements
The grounding requirements are applicable to the device that needs to be grounded.
l When installing the device, always connect the grounding facilities first. When removing
the device, always disconnect the grounding facilities last.
l Ensure that the grounding conductor is intact.
l Do not operate the device in the absence of a suitably installed grounding conductor.
l The device must be connected to the protection ground (PGND) permanently. Before
operating the device, check the electrical connections of the device, and ensure that the
device is properly grounded.
Human Safety
l When there is a risk of a lightning strike, do not operate the fixed terminal or touch the
cables.
l When there is risk of a lightning strike, unplug the AC power connector. Do not use the
fixed terminal or touch the terminal or antenna connector.
NOTE
The preceding requirements apply to wireless fixed station terminals.
l To avoid electric shocks, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to
telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits.
l Do not look into optical ports without eye protection. Otherwise, human eyes may be
hurt by laser beams.
l Before operating the device, wear an ESD protective coat, ESD gloves, and an ESD
wrist strap. In addition, you need to get off the conductive objects, such as jewelry and
watches, to prevent electric shock and burn.
l In case of fire, escape from the building or site where the device is located and press the
fire alarm bell or dial the telephone number for fire alarms. Do not enter the burning
building again in any situation.
Device Safety
l Before any operation, install the device firmly on the ground or other rigid objects, such
as on a wall or in a rack.
l When the system is working, ensure that the ventilation hole is not blocked.
l When installing the front panel, use a tool to tighten the screws firmly, if required.
l After installing the device, clean up the packing materials.
Table 1-1 Warning and safety symbols of the OptiX RTN 320
Label Label Name Description
High Voltage
DANGER
l A high-voltage power supply provides power for device operations. Direct human contact
with the high voltage power supply or human contact through damp objects can be fatal.
l Unspecified or unauthorized high voltage operations could result in fire or electric shock,
or both.
Thunderstorm
The requirements apply only to wireless base stations or devices with antennas and feeders.
DANGER
Do not perform operations on high voltage, AC power, towers, or backstays in stormy
weather conditions.
CAUTION
Before powering on a device, ground the device. Otherwise, the safety of humans and the
device cannot be ensured.
If a high leakage current mark is labeled near the power connector of the device, you must
connect the PGND terminal on the shell to the ground before connecting the device to an A/C
input power supply. This is to prevent the electric shock caused by leakage current of the
device.
Power Cables
DANGER
Do not install or remove the power cable with a live line. Transient contact between the core
of the power cable and the conductor may generate electric arc or spark, which may cause fire
or eye injury.
l Before installing or removing power cables, you must power off the device.
l Before connecting a power cable, you must ensure that the label on the power cable is
correct.
DANGER
Installing or removing a device is prohibited if the device is on.
DANGER
Do not install or remove the power cables of the equipment when it is powered on.
Short Circuits
When installing and maintaining devices, place and use the associated tools and instruments
in accordance with regulations to avoid short-circuits caused by metal objects.
Fuse
CAUTION
If the fuse on a device blows, replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type and specifications
to ensure safe operation of the device.
DANGER
Do not place or operate devices in an environment of flammable or explosive air or gas.
DANGER
Before operating a storage battery, you must read the safety precautions carefully and be
familiar with the method of connecting a storage battery.
l Incorrect operations of storage batteries cause hazards. During operation, prevent any
short-circuit, and prevent the electrolyte from overflowing or leakage.
l If the electrolyte overflows, it causes potential hazards to the device. The electrolyte may
corrode metal parts and the circuit boards, and ultimately damage the circuit boards.
l A storage battery contains a great deal of energy. Misoperations may cause a short-
circuit, which leads to human injuries.
Basic Precautions
To ensure safety, note the following points before installing or maintaining the storage
battery:
Short-Circuit
DANGER
A battery short-circuit may cause human injuries. Although the voltage of an ordinary battery
is low, the instantaneous high current caused by a short-circuit emits a great deal of energy.
Avoid any short-circuit of batteries caused by metal objects. If possible, disconnect the
working battery before performing other operations.
Hazardous Gas
NOTICE
Do not use any unsealed lead-acid storage battery. Lay a storage battery horizontally and fix it
properly to prevent the battery from emitting flammable gas, which may cause fire or device
erosion.
Working lead-acid storage batteries emit flammable gas. Therefore, ventilation and
fireproofing measures must be taken at the sites where lead-acid storage batteries are placed.
Battery Temperature
NOTICE
If a battery overheats, the battery may be deformed or damaged, and the electrolyte may
overflow.
When the temperature of the battery is higher than 60°C, you need to check whether the
electrolyte overflows. If the electrolyte overflows, take appropriate measures immediately.
Battery Leakage
NOTICE
In the event of acid overflow or spillage, neutralize the acid and clean it up appropriately.
When handling a leaky battery, protect against the possible damage caused by the acid. When
you find the electrolyte leaks, you can use the following substances to counteract and absorb
the leaking electrolyte:
In the event of acid overflow or spillage, neutralize the acid and clean it up as recommended
by the battery manufacturer and any local regulations for acid disposal.
If a person contacts battery electrolyte, clean the skin that contacts the battery electrolyte
immediately by using water. In case of a severe situation, the person must be sent to a hospital
immediately.
1.6 Radiation
This topic describes safety precautions for electromagnetic exposure and lasers.
DANGER
When installing or maintaining optical fibers, avoid direct eye exposure to the laser beams
launched from the optical interface or fiber connectors. The laser beam can cause damage to
your eyes.
NOTICE
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 optical distribution frame (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
NOTICE
Ensure that all personnel are beyond the transmit direction of a working antenna.
1.6.4 Laser
This topic describes safety precautions for lasers.
CAUTION
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 therefore 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.
l All operations should be performed by authorized personnel who have completed the
required training courses.
l Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or fibers.
l Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber
connectors.
l Do not look into the end of an exposed fiber or an open connector when you are not sure
whether the optical source is switched off.
l Use an optical power meter to measure the optical power and ensure that the optical
source is switched off.
l Before opening the front door of an optical transmission device, ensure that you are not
exposed to laser radiation.
l Do not use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass, or an eye loupe to
view the optical connector or fiber that is transmitting optical signals.
1.6.5 Microwave
When installing and maintaining the equipment of Huawei, follow the safety precautions of
microwave to ensure the safety of the human body and the equipment.
CAUTION
Strong radio frequency can harm the human body.
When installing or maintaining an aerial on the tower or mast that is installed with multiple
aerials, switch off the transmitter in advance.
CAUTION
When working at heights, be cautious to prevent objects from falling down.
l Carry and handle the operating machines and tools with caution to prevent them from
falling down.
l Safety measures, such as wearing a helmet and a safety belt, must be taken.
l Wear cold-proof clothes when working at heights in cold areas.
l Check all lifting appliances thoroughly before starting the work, and ensure that they are
intact.
1.7.1 Hoisting Heavy Objects
This topic describes the safety precautions for hoisting heavy objects that you must follow
when installing, operating, and maintaining Huawei devices.
1.7.2 Using Ladders
This topic describes safety precautions for using ladders.
CAUTION
When heavy objects are being hoisted, do not walk below the cantilever or hoisted objects.
Checking Ladders
l Before using a ladder, check whether the ladder is damaged. After checking that the
ladder is in good condition, you can use the ladder.
l Before using a ladder, you should know the maximum weight capacity of the ladder.
Avoid overweighing the ladder.
Placing Ladders
The proper slant angle of the ladder is 75 degrees. You can measure the slant angle of the
ladder with an angle square or your arms, as shown in Figure 1-2. When using a ladder, to
prevent the ladder from sliding, ensure that the wider feet of the ladder are downward, or take
protection measures for the ladder feet. Ensure that the ladder is placed securely.
Climbing Up a Ladder
When climbing up a ladder, pay attention to the following points:
l Ensure that the center of gravity of your body does not deviate from the edges of the two
long sides.
l Before operations, ensure that your body is stable to reduce risks.
l Do not climb higher than the fourth rung of the ladder (counted from up to down).
If you want to climb up a roof, ensure that the ladder top is at least one meter higher than the
roof, as shown in Figure 1-3.
Figure 1-3 Ladder top being one meter higher than the roof
Drilling Holes
CAUTION
Do not drill holes on the cabinet without prior permission. Drilling holes without complying
with the requirements affects the electromagnetic shielding performance of the cabinet and
damages the cables inside the cabinet. In addition, if the scraps caused by drilling enter the
cabinet, the printed circuit boards (PCBs) may be short-circuited.
l Before drilling a hole on the cabinet, remove the cables inside the cabinet.
l Wear an eye protector when drilling holes. This is to prevent eyes from being injured by
the splashing metal scraps.
l Wear protection gloves when drilling holes.
l Take measures to prevent the metallic scraps from falling into the cabinet. After the
drilling, clean up the metallic scraps.
Sharp Objects
CAUTION
Wear protection gloves when carrying the device. This is to prevent hands from being injured
by the sharp edges of the device.
Fans
l When replacing parts, place the objects such as the parts, screws, and tools properly. This
is to prevent them from falling into the operating fans, which damages the fans or device.
l When replacing the parts near fans, keep your fingers or boards from touching operating
fans before the fans are powered off and stop running. Otherwise, the hands or the
boards are damaged.
CAUTION
l The carrier must be prepared for load bearing before carrying heavy objects. This is to
prevent the carrier from being strained or pressed by the heavy objects.
l When you pull a chassis out of the cabinet, pay attention to the unstable or heavy objects
on the cabinet. This is to prevent the heavy objects on the cabinet top from falling down,
which may hurt you.
l Generally, two persons are needed to carry a chassis. It is prohibited that only one person
carries a heavy chassis. When carrying a chassis, the carriers should stretch their backs
and move stably to avoid being strained.
l When moving or lifting a chassis, hold the handles or bottom of the chassis. Do not hold
the handles of the modules installed in the chassis, such as the power modules, fan
modules, and boards.
NOTICE
When inserting a board, wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves, and handle the board gently
to avoid distorting pins on the backplane.
NOTICE
Bind the signal cables separately from the high-current or high-voltage cables.
Routing Cables
In the case of extremely low temperature, heavy shock or vibration may damage the plastic
skin of the cables. To ensure the construction safety, comply with the following requirements:
l When installing cables, ensure that the environment temperature is above 0°C.
l If the cables are stored in a place where the ambient temperature is below 0°C, transfer
them to a place at room temperature and store the cables for more than 24 hours before
installation.
l Handle the cables gently, especially in a low-temperature environment. Do not perform
any improper operations, for example, pushing the cables down directly from a truck.
High Temperature
CAUTION
If the ambient temperature exceeds 55°C, the temperature of the front panel surface marked
the flag may exceed 70°C. When touching the front panel of the board in such an
environment, you must wear the protection gloves.

NOTE
For details about the requirements and methods for installing the Web LCT, see the iManager U2000
Web LCT User Guide.
Prerequisites
The NMS is available.
For OptiX RTN 320, the recommended USB flash drive model is Netac U208 (4G). If a USB
flash drive of another model or capacity is required, contact the local Huawei representative
office for confirmation. Some USB flash drives may not be compatible with OptiX RTN 300
products.
NOTE
The following procedure describes how to restoring a software package and configuration scripts from a USB
flash drive. The procedure of restoring a patch package and a database from a USB flash drive is similar. The
only difference is that a patch subdirectory and a db subdirectory need to be created and the patch package
and database files on the NMS need to be copied in the patch subdirectory and the db subdirectory
respectively, but the pkg or script directory does not need to be created.
Procedure
Step 1 Create a new folder usbfile on the computer and copy all files required for the USB flash
drive to the folder.
NE software \pkg
NOTE
Data needs to be put in the \pkg path only if the NE software needs to be updated.
In other cases, the directory should be empty.
Scripts \script
Database \db
NOTE
The folder names can be customized by users. In this section, usbfile is used as an example.
Step 2 Open the directory for storing the USB file generation tool, and run startup_usbTool.bat.
NOTE
For a new NE, input the default user name and password.
– Default user name: szhw
– Default password: Changeme_123
2. Set Encryption Type to PBKDF2.
NOTE
– At the same time, set SSL Certificate and Certificate File Path. There are two types of SSL
certificates: Default and Custom.
n Set the parameter to Default if you want to use the default certificate on the U2000. Set the
parameter to Custom if you want to use your own certificate.
n Two types of customized certificates are supported: *.crt and *.p12. A *.p12 certificate has
been encrypted, so a key is required. Select Generate USB authentication certificates when
preparing a customized certificate so that a USB flash drive supports the generated
customized certificate.
n Both *.crt and *.p12 certificates must be synchronized with the target NE. For details, see the
U2000 Administrator Guide.
3. Click Generate File.
5. Open the directory storing the RTN.CER file and copy the file to the root directory of the
usbfile folder.
NOTE
3. Optional: Right-click one or more files and set the encryption status.
NOTE
If the USB mode of an NE is the incompatible mode, set the encryption status of some files, for
example, the software package, to Disable to speed up the loading of files from the USB flash drive to
the target NE. However, it is recommended to encrypt all files.
4. Click Harden.
5. Click Yes in the strategy file generation dialog box displayed.
6. Record the file output path shown in the following dialog box. Click OK.
7. Check files and the contents structure in the output path and copy all contents and files to
the root directory on the USB flash drive.
NOTE
Files in the file output path must be copied to the USB flash drive as soon as possible, because all files
in the paths will be automatically deleted when the USB file generation tool is closed.
----End
Context
NOTE
In the following instructions for both types of commissioning methods, site commissioning and system
commissioning are defined as follows:
l Site commissioning refers to the commissioning of one microwave link hop and the sites at both ends of
the hop. Site commissioning is carried out with commissioning tools connected to the NE at a single site.
l System commissioning refers to the commissioning and configuring of all NEs on a network. System
commissioning is carried out with commissioning tools connected to a gateway NE.
Single-Hop Commissioning

Microwave Transmission System Product Description.
Procedure
Step 1 Start the laptop and log in to the operating system.
Step 2 Use the Wi-Fi Connection tool delivered with the Web LCT to set up a Wi-Fi connection
between the laptop and NE.
1. Access the Wi-Fi Connection tool directory (such as WebLCT\weblct\tools\wificonn)
and run WifiConnection.exe.
2. Select the SSID of the NE to set up a WLAN connection.
– The default SSID is FMn-The last six digits of a MAC address in hexadecimal
format-NE ID.
– Default password: Modify_123.
Right-click it.

NOTE
– If the WLAN Connection tool does not find the SSID of the NE, perform the following
operations:
n Check whether there is a block between the laptop and the NE.
n Check whether the distance between the laptop and NE is longer than the typical WLAN
transmission distance. (The typical transmission distance between the WLAN module
and laptop is 30m. An external WLAN network adapter can be installed on the laptop to
extend the typical transmission distance to 70 m.)
n If the distance between the laptop and NE is shorter than the typical WLAN transmission
distance, view the status of the WLAN indicator in the maintenance compartment. If the
WLAN indicator is red (indicating the abnormal state), replace the WLAN module or
connect the laptop to the NMS port in the maintenance compartment to check the
WLAN configuration.
– Generally, it takes about 20s to set up connection through WLAN, please be patient.
– If a WLAN connection fails to be set up, check whether:
n The connection password is correct.
n The IP address is automatically allocated.
n Another laptop is connected to the NE though WLAN. Only one device can access an
NE through WLAN at a time. If another device needs to access the NE, it is
recommended that you use the WLAN Connection tool to disconnect the first device and
then access the second device. The disconnection method is similar to the connection
method.
After the Web LCT and the OptiX RTN 320 are properly connected, the indicator at the
Ethernet port of the laptop is steady green. A message is displayed indicating that the
network has established a local connection if the operating system has been configured

When aligning dual-polarized antennas, align the main lobes by adjusting the azimuth and
elevation of the antennas at both ends. Engineers also need to adjust the antenna feeds so that
cross-polar isolation (XPI) meets requirements.
Definition
The electric field strength of the radiated power of an antenna varies in space. The differences
of the power distribution can be shown in an azimuth diagram. Generally, there are two
azimuth diagrams illustrating the horizontal and vertical sections. These are the horizontal
azimuth diagram and vertical azimuth diagram. Figure 5-2 is a vertical azimuth diagram
showing many lobes. The lobe with the strongest radiated power is the main lobe, while the
others are side lobes. The first side lobe can be used for aligning the antenna.
Main lobe
First side lobe
Second side lobe

Tracking Path
Side lobe signal readings are sometimes mistaken for main lobe readings when signals are
tracked on different elevations (or azimuths). Figure 5-4 shows a horizontal radio propagation
model of an antenna, and signal levels at three different elevation positions (1-7 represent the
measured signal level values of the received signal strength indicator [RSSI] port of the OptiX
RTN 320).

l Line AA' indicates that the main lobe of the antenna is almost aligned properly. The
main lobe is at point 2, and the first side lobes are at points 1 and 3. Slightly adjust the
azimuth of the antenna at point 2 until the peak signal appears.
l Line BB' indicates that the elevation of the antenna slightly deviates from the main lobe.
The signal peaks appear at points 4 and 5. The signal peak at point 4 is higher than the
signal peak at point 5 because of the antenna characteristics. As a result, point 4 may be
mistaken for the peak point of the main lobe signal. The correct method is to set the
azimuth of the antenna to the middle position between the two signal peaks. Then, adjust
the elevation of the antenna until the three signal peaks of line AA' appear. Slightly
adjust the elevation and azimuth of the antenna at point 2 until the peak signal appears.
l Line CC' indicates that the elevation of the antenna completely deviates from the main
lobe and is almost aligned with the first side lobe. The signal peak of the first side lobe at
point 6 and the signal peak of the first side lobe at point 7 appear as one signal peak. As
a result, points 6 and 7 may be mistaken for the peak point of the main lobe signal. The
correct method is to set the azimuth of the antenna to the middle of points 6 and 7. Then,
adjust the elevation of the antenna until the three signal peaks of line AA' appear.
Slightly adjust the elevation and azimuth of the antenna at point 2 until the peak signal
appears.
When the side lobe peak on one side is higher than the side lobe peak at the other side, as
shown in Figure 5-5, a common error is moving the antenna from left to right along line DD',
or top to bottom along line EE'. As a result, point 1 may be mistaken for the peak point of the
main lobe signal. The correct method is to adjust the elevation in the middle of points 1 and 2
or the azimuth in the middle of points 1 and 3. Several adjustments are required to ensure that
the three signal peaks of line AA' can appear. Slightly adjust the elevation and azimuth of the
antenna at point 2 as shown in Figure 5-4 until the peak signal appears.

Step 2 Determine the azimuth of the antenna at the local end based on the installation position and
height of the antenna. Then, adjust the elevation of the antenna to the horizontal position.
NOTE
For a special microwave link (for example, a microwave link with one end on a mountain top and the other
end at the foot of the mountain), the inclination between the link and the horizontal line is greater than the
half-power angle of the antenna. Slightly adjust the elevation of the antenna so the main lobes are aligned
vertically.
Step 3 Connect a multimeter to the RSSI port on the OptiX RTN 320 at the local end using an RSSI
test fiber and test the voltage value VBNC. Turn the multimeter to the DC power level with the
voltage value 20 V.
NOTE
It is recommended that you fix the multimeter to the tower with adhesive tape at your plain view, so that
you can observe the RSSI voltage value while aligning antennas.

NOTICE
If the number of tracked signal peaks is fewer than three, even after a wide rotation and
careful observation of the multimeter, refer to 5.7.1 Main Lobe and Side Lobes for help
with handling the exception.
4. Adjust the antenna azimuth until the signal strength reaches position 2 shown in Figure
5-9. When the signal strength is at position 2, the value of VBNC is the peak value.
5. Slightly adjust the elevation and azimuth at point 2 until VBNC reaches the peak value
within the tracked range.
6. Secure the antenna at the local end.
NOTE
When securing the antenna, ensure that VBNC remains at the peak value.
Step 5 Repeat Step 2 to Step 4 to adjust the antenna at the remote end. When VBNC reaches the peak
value, secure the antenna at the remote end.
Step 6 Repeat Step 2 to Step 4 for two to four times. When VBNC at the local end and VBNC at the
remote end reach the peak value, secure the antennas at both ends.

2. Use a multimeter to measure the RSL at the RSSI port of the vertically polarized ODU.
3. Calculate the RSL (P2) of the vertically polarized signals by referring to the curve
diagram in the RTN 320 box.
4. Calculate the XPD1 (XPD1 = P1 - P2).
If... Then...
The calculated XPD1 is less than 24 dB Go to the next step.
If... Then...
The calculated XPD1 is greater than or equal to 24 dB Go to Step 5.
5. Release the feed boom holder slightly, and turn the feed boom slightly until the RSL
reaches the lower threshold and the calculated XPD1 is greater than or equal to 24 dB.
Step 6 At both ends of the microwave link, power off the horizontally polarized ODUs and power on
the vertically polarized ODUs. Ensure that the antennas at both ends are transmitting
vertically polarized signals.
Step 7 Measure the RSL (P3) of the vertically polarized signals at the local end by referring to Step

Step 8 Adjust the feed boom at the local end, and ensure that the RSL of the horizontally polarized
signals reaches the lower threshold (P4).
1. Power on the horizontally polarized ODU at the local end.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the RSL at the RSSI port of the horizontally polarized
ODU.
3. Calculate the RSL (P4) of the horizontally polarized signals by referring to the curve
diagram delivered with the ODU.
4. Calculate the XPD2 (XPD2 = P3 - P4).
If... Then...
The calculated XPD2 is less than 24 dB Go to the next step.
The calculated XPD2 is greater than or equal to 24 dB Go to Step 9.
5. Release the feed boom holder slightly, and turn the feed boom slightly until the RSL
reaches the lower threshold and the calculated XPD2 is greater than or equal to 24 dB.
Step 10 Adjust the feed boom slightly (ranging from D1 to D2), and ensure that XPD1 and XPD2 are
greater than or equal to 24 dB.
NOTE
If D1 and D2 are the same, you do not need to adjust the feed boom.
Use the multimeter to measure the RSL at the RSSI port again to ensure that no movement occurred during
the screw tightening process.

Background Information
1:1 protection
In normal situations, services are transmitted in the working tunnel. That is, services are
transmitted and received in a different tunnel respectively. When the working tunnel is faulty,
the equipment at the transmit end transmits services through the protection tunnel, and the
equipment at the receive end receive services through the protection tunnel after a negotiation
through the APS protocol. Therefore, service switching is realized.
Figure 6-6 Connection diagram for testing the MPLS APS protection
Procedure
Step 1 Query the switching status of the current MPLS tunnel 1:1 protection group on NE A and NE
B.
1. In the NE Explorer, select NE A and then choose Configuration > APS Protection
Management from the Function Tree.
2. Click the Tunnel APS Management tab, right-click the tested protection group, and
then choose Query Switching Status from the shortcut menu, to check the MPLS
protection group configured on the NE.
3. Choose the protection group for switching, and check its switching status. In normal
situations, the switching status should be Normal, and Tunnel Status for both the
working and protection tunnels should be Available.

The following procedure checks the clock status of NEs on a network.
Procedure
Step 1 Check the clock status of an NE.
Step 2 Repeat Step 1 to check the clock status of the other NEs on the network.

Prerequisites
l Weather conditions are favorable.
l Antennas have been aligned, and the RSLs at both ends of the microwave link meet
requirements.
l The configured transmit power is the same as the actual transmit power.
Web LCT also supports this operation and the steps are the same as those on the U2000.
Context
The procedure for testing the fade margin is as follows:
l Test the mapping between RSLs and MSEs at multiple sites.
l Calculate the RSL corresponding to the MSE demodulation threshold to determine the
receiver sensitivity.
l Subtract the receiver sensitivity from the current RSL to obtain the fade margin.
The following procedure tests the fade margin over a microwave link.
Precautions
1. When the fade margin is being tested, all the services carried on the microwave link may
be interrupted.
2. For microwave links configured with 1+1 protection, forcibly switch services to the main
link before testing the main link. Forcibly switch services to the standby link before
testing the standby link.
3. For an XPIC group, the channels in the two polarization directions (H and V) are tested.
Therefore, the fading margins of the two OptiX RTN 320s are reported at the same time.
Procedure
Step 1 Disable the adaptive modulation (AM) and automatic transmit power control (ATPC)
functions on the microwave link between two sites.
Step 3 Enable the AM and ATPC functions for the microwave link base on Step 1.
NOTE
Restore Modulation Mode of the Guaranteed AM Capacity and Modulation Mode of the Full AM
Capacity to their initial values when enabling the AM function.

l Performance tests for E-Line services, E-LAN services, and a mixture of E-Line and E-
LAN services are supported.
l During the test, do not modify any configuration.
l The ports at the ends of the Ethernet service to be tested must be Ethernet ports.
l During the test, only the tested Ethernet services at the tested port are interrupted in
normal cases.
l Large test traffic may affect other services and even cause packet loss of other services.
l An NE cannot function as an initiator and a reflector at the same time.
NOTE
In an RFC 2544-compliant test on E-LAN services, the test initiator sends test packets or delay packets
at a specific traffic volume. The reflector end returns the packets based on the specific filter criteria (for
example, by VLAN and MAC address). The initiator end computes the network performance based on
the number of locally transmitted and received packets or timestamp information about delay packets.

ports. During the test, all Ethernet services over the test ports are interrupted.
l If the tested Ethernet services contain quality of service (QoS), OAM, link aggregation
group (LAG), or other protocol data, the test results may be inaccurate. It is recommended
that you disable the functions before performing the test.
l If the source port of the tested services carries other services, the test results may be
inaccurate. It is recommended that you disable the other services at the source port before
performing the test.

EPLA-enabled microwave links, but are not supported for cascaded microwave links.
l Meter-free test results may be inaccurate if a warm/cold reset occurs during a test. In case
of a warm/cold reset, you need to initiate a second test.
The Ethernet services between NE1 and NE2 carry the VLAN ID 100.
NOTE
The VLAN ID of the E-Line service to be tested must be the same as the default VLAN ID of the test port.
Otherwise, the source and sink NEs cannot be successfully created.
Procedure
Step 1 Disable the inband DCN of the test ports.
NOTICE
This operation may cause DCN interruption.
Step 5 Configure a source NE for the test and initiate the test.
NOTE
l The test results may deviate from the actual values, as compared with the results of a test performed using
a meter. When the bandwidth of tested services is less than 70 Mbit/s, the deviation of the packet loss
ratio is less than 1%. When the bandwidth of tested services is higher than or equal to 70 Mbit/s, the
deviation of the packet loss ratio is less than 0.2%. If the packet loss ratio is not 0 and its deviation is
within these ranges, perform the test multiple times. If the results of the multiple tests show that a few
packets are lost and the packet loss ratio of services with long frames is higher than that of services with
short frames, you can consider that no packet is lost.
l The throughput test result of services with long frames deviates from the actual result by less than 5%.
l The latency result and packet loss ratio result are the results of bidirectional services.

NE3 and are transmitted to the local backhaul network through NE1.
Figure 8-4 shows the networking topology. On the chain network, NE1 is directly connected
to the Ethernet network, and services are sent to the RNC through NE2.
NOTE
Large-capacity microwave links can be provided in the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
scenario. For details about how to configure the MIMO scenario, see the Feature Configuration.
NOTE
Connections in the XPIC with 1+1 protection scenario are the same as those in the cascade EPLA scenario.

DMC4 and two ODUs. The slot IDs for the three logical boards are 1, 51, and 52,
respectively.
DCN Composition
The DCN contains two types of node: NMS and NE. The DCN between the NMS and NEs is
called external DCN. The DCN among NEs is called internal DCN. The external DCN
consists of data communication devices, such as Ethernet switches and routers. The internal
DCN consists of NEs that are connected using DCN channels. Unless otherwise specified, the
DCN mentioned in this document refers to internal DCN.
DCN Channel
DCN channels fall into two types: outband DCN channel and inband DCN channel.
l Oubtband DCN channels do not occupy any service bandwidth. The RTN 300 supports
two types of outband DCN channel:
– D1 to D3 bytes in microwave frames
– Channels over NMS ports
l Inband DCN channels occupy some service bandwidth. The RTN 300 supports two types
of inband DCN channel:
– Some Ethernet service bandwidth of microwave links
– Some Ethernet service bandwidth of Ethernet links
NOTE
When inter-equipment 1+1 HSB or cascade EPLA is configured, the cascaded NEs use the inband DCN
to communicate.
DCN Solutions
The RTN 300 provides the following DCN solutions:
l IP DCN solution
In the IP DCN solution, network management messages are encapsulated into IP packets.
NEs forward the IP packets based on the IP addresses contained in them. This solution
supports a maximum of 400 NEs and ensures high network stability. This solution is the
default and preferred solution.
l L2 DCN solution
In the L2 DCN solution, network management messages are encapsulated into IP
packets, which are carried by Ethernet frames. NEs forward the Ethernet frames based
on the MAC addresses contained in them. This solution supports a maximum of 30 NEs.
However, this solution has the risk of broadcast packet flooding and provides poor
network stability.
The RTN 300 also supports the HWECC solution, which is eliminated gradually.
Gateway NE: The application layer of the NMS directly communicates with the application
layer of a gateway NE. Generally, an NE at the boundary between the internal DCN and
external DCN is a gateway NE. An NE located inside a DCN can also function as a gateway
NE. The NEs between the NMS and the gateway NE inside a DCN forward DCN packets at
L2 or L3.
Non-gateway NE: The application layer of the NMS communications with the application
layer of a non-gateway NE through the application layer of a gateway NE. The NEs between
the gateway NE and non-gateway NE forward DCN packets at L2 or L3.
DCN Flags
An NE on the DCN must be configured with two DCN flags: NE ID and NE IP address.
8.4.1.2 IP DCN
This section describes the basic knowledge about IP DCN.
l Layer 1 of the protocol stack is the physical layer, which provides data transmission
channels for data terminal equipment. The RTN 300 provides the following DCN
channels:
– NMS port: all the bandwidth at the NMS port
– DCC channel: three Huawei-defined DCC bytes in a microwave frame at a
microwave port
– Inband DCN: a portion of Ethernet service bandwidth at an Ethernet or a
microwave port
l Layer 2 is the data link layer, which provides reliable data transmission to the physical
link layer. DCCs and inband DCNs use the PPP protocol to set up data links. Therefore,
IP addresses of adjacent NEs do not need to be in the same IP network segment.
l Layer 3 is the network layer, which specifies the network layer address for a network
entity and provides forwarding and addressing functions. NEs implement network layer
functions using the IP protocol. The routes used for IP forwarding can be direct routes
discovered by link layer protocols, manually configured static routes, or dynamic routes
generated by the OSPF protocol. The RTN 300 provides various OSPF features; for
details, see Specifications.
l Layer 4 is the transport layer, which provides end-to-end communication services for the
upper layer. NEs support the TCP/UDP protocol.
When the third-party L2 network is located between two networks comprised of RTN 300s,
NMS messages are encapsulated as L2 services for transmission. In this example, the access
control function is enabled on the Ethernet ports of the two networks for connecting to the
third-party L2 network and their IP addresses are in the same network segment.
The third-party L2 network creates a dedicated L2VPN service for the DCN packets carrying
a specific inband DCN VLAN ID.
l Ethernet fibers/cables
Ethernet fibers/cables refer to the Ethernet fiber/cable connections between Ethernet
optical/electrical ports on different sets of equipment.
l Microwave links
Microwave links refer to the radio connections between different sets of radio
equipment. That is, the microwave links indicate the connection relationship between
different IF ports.
NOTE
Fibers and cables are topological objects on the U2000. Therefore, operations on the fibers or cables do not
affect the normal running of the NEs.
NOTE
For a split OptiX RTN 320, the ODU is virtualized as a module of the DMC4 board. Alarms about the ODU
are reported by the DMC4 board. You can query the type (split or integrated) of an OptiX RTN 320 on the
U2000 by querying the subrack type of the NE.

Service Model
Table 8-25 describes the transparently transmitted point-to-point E-Line service model.
Typical Application
Figure 8-27 shows the typical application of transparently transmitted point-to-point E-Line
service model.
In model 1, Ethernet service 1 is transmitted to NE1 through port 1, regardless of whether the
Ethernet service carries an unknown VLAN ID or no VLAN ID. Port 1 transparently
transmits Ethernet service 1 to port 2. Port 2 transmits Ethernet service 1 to NE2. Service
processing on NE2 is the same as that on NE1.
In model 2, Ethernet service 1 is transmitted to NE1 through port 1, regardless of whether the
Ethernet service carries an unknown VLAN ID or no VLAN ID. Port 1 and Port 2 process the
incoming packets based on their own TAG attributes or QinQ-class domain. Then, Port 2
sends Ethernet service 1 to NE2. Service processing on NE2 is the same as that on NE1.
Service Model
Table 8-26 provides information about the VLAN-based E-Line service model.
Typical Application
Figure 8-28 shows a typical application of the VLAN-based E-Line service model. Services
1, 2, 3, and 4 from four NodeBs converge through a transmission network to a radio network
controller (RNC).
l Services 1, 2, 3, and 4 carry different VLAN IDs.
l On NE 1, services 1 and 2 are received at port 2 and port 3, respectively, and forwarded
through port 1. They share the same channel but are isolated by VLANs.
l On NE 2, services 3 and 4 are received at port 2 and port 3, respectively, and forwarded
through port 1. They share the same channel but are isolated by VLANs.
l On NE 3, services 1 and 2 are received at port 2, services 3 and 4 are received at port 3,
and all four services are forwarded through port 1. All the services share the same
channel but are isolated by VLANs.
l Ports 2 and 3 on NE 1, NE 2, and NE 3 process incoming Ethernet frames based on their
tag attributes and transmit the Ethernet frames to port 1. Port 1 processes outgoing
Ethernet frames based on its tag attribute. Because the services have different VLAN
IDs, they can share ports 1 on NE 1, NE 2, and NE 3.

Service Model
Table 8-27 shows the QinQ-based E-Line service models.
Model 1 PORT (source) UNI-NNI Null (source) The source port adds the S-
QinQ link (sink) QinQ (sink) VLAN tag that corresponds
to the QinQ link to all the
received Ethernet frames,
and then transmits the
Ethernet frames to the sink
port to which the QinQ link
is connected.
Model 2 PORT (source) UNI-NNI 802.1Q (source) The source port processes
QinQ link (sink) QinQ (sink) Ethernet frames according
to the Tag attribute. It adds
the S-VLAN tag that
corresponds to the QinQ
link to all the Ethernet
frames, and then transmits
the Ethernet frames to the
sink port where the QinQ
link configured.
Model 4(1) PORT+S-VLAN UNI-UNI QinQ (source) The source port transmits
list (source) QinQ (sink) the Ethernet frames that
PORT+S-VLAN carry a specific S-VLAN tag
list (sink) (corresponding to the source
QinQ) to the sink port to
which the sink QinQ is
connected.
Model 4(2) QinQ link NNI-NNI QinQ (source) The source port transmits
(source) QinQ (sink) the Ethernet frames that
QinQ link (sink) carry a specific S-VLAN tag
(corresponding to the source
QinQ link) to the sink port
to which the sink QinQ link
is connected. If the source
and sink QinQ links have
different S-VLAN tags, S-
VLAN tag swapping occurs.
Typical Application
Figure 8-29 shows the typical application of service model 1.
Service 1 and service 2 contain tagged frames and untagged frames. Service 1 is transmitted
to NE1 through port 1, and service 2 is transmitted to NE1 through port 2. Port 1 adds an S-
VLAN tag to service 1, and port 2 adds another S-VLAN tag to service 2. Service 1 and
service 2 are then transmitted to Port 3. Port 3 transmits service 1 and service 2 to NE2.

NOTE
The maximum number of VLANs supported by the configured for all the Ethernet services is fixed to 1024. If
more than 1024 VLANs are bound to a V-UNI, the logical type of the V-UNI must be PORT, and a VLAN
filtering table must be created to restrict E–LAN services transmitted from the V-UNI.
Typical Application
Figure 8-34 shows a typical application of the IEEE 802.1Q bridge-based E-LAN service

l Services 1 and 2 have the same VLAN ID of 100, and services 3 and 4 have the same
VLAN ID of 200.
l Because the VLAN ID of services 1 and 2 is different from that of services 3 and 4,
IEEE 802.1Q bridges are configured: one each for NE 1, NE 2, and NE 3. The bridges
are divided into switching sub-domains by VLAN for service isolation over each bridge.

NOTE
Web LCT also supports this operation and the steps are the same as those on the U2000.
Context
The following procedure:
l It is recommended that you enable the standard SSM protocol for a simple ring network and enable the
extended SSM protocol for a complex network (for example, a network consisting of intersectant rings,
which may provide the network with multiple clock sources).
l If the extended SSM protocol is enabled, set IDs for the following clock sources:
l Reference clock sources for a ring network
l Local clock source of an NE that traces a clock source outside the ring network
Each clock source ID must be unique and is unrelated to priorities.
