Network datasheet (NE name, NE ID, and orderwire data) OA configuration diagram (the configuration and attenuation of OAs) Slot allocation diagram of every cabinet (indicating the position of the upper subrack, NE names, and NE IDs)
Cabinet fiber connection diagram (describing the fiber connections inside a cabinet and the fiber jumper connections outside the cabinet)
Project information: Consult with the project manager to understand what cooperation that the customer can offer, the project progress, test requirements (test equipment, test items, and test scope), vehicle arrangement, and functions of the equipment involved in the project.
Test records tables: Including the Optical Power Adjustment Records Table and the Acceptance Test Report. The Optical Power Adjustment Records Table should be produced based on the slot allocation and signal flow as well as the fiber connections before the commissioning so that you can keep records in the table accordingly during the power adjustment.

Commissioning Precautions
Before commissioning, the installation engineer must work out the hardware quality check report. The installation engineer must ensure that the quality of the installation project does not affect later commissioning. In particular, pay attention to how the installation engineer test the installed fibers. The instruments involved in testing need to be calibrated. The instruments that need to be grounded must be well grounded. The error introduced by the accessories involved in testing (including fiber jumpers and flange) must be calculated in the test values. Fibers must be cleaned during the system commissioning process. When you clean the fibers, you must use the special fiber cleaner, and use the fiber microscope to check whether the fiber interface is clean. Use lint-free wipes or (cassette cleaner) to clean the fiber jumper interface. Use the compressed air dedusting agent to clean the female connector. All paths must be involved in the system commissioning. You need to commission all wavelengths that transmit optical power, to ensure that all paths that are initially configured are in the optimum status. Record the commissioning data in details (optical amplifier unit, input and output optical power of the OTU).

System Limitations
Received optical power: The received optical power must be in the standard range. The power fluctuation of the system might happen. Hence, the received optical power should be set around the standard central value to ensure sufficient margin. OSNR: The OSNR directly affects the system performance. The main factors determining the OSNR are the input optical power of single wavelength and system level. The lower the input power of the optical amplifier, the fast the OSNR decreases. Non-linearity: The non-linearity is related to the incident optical power of signals, fiber type, link dispersion configuration and transmission level. The higher the incident optical power of signals, the stronger the linearity is. The fiber type, link dispersion configuration and transmission level are designated at the market design stage. Note that the dispersion module has a stringent requirement for non-linearity. The input optical power of the dispersion module should be less than -3 dBm. Dispersion: Normally, the Marketing Department completes the optimal design according to the marketing design guide rules at the system design stage. Note whether the dispersion configuration on site is the same as that in the design. Generally, if other factors are normal but multiple wavelengths are abnormally running, the configuration correctness of the DCM module needs to be checked.

Commission Requirement and Method for Optical Amplifier Unit
1. Commissioning Requirement for Optical Amplifier Unit
Optical power
Adjust the average optical power level of input and output wavelengths to or close to the one-channel standard input and output optical power. Adjust the number of wavelengths that are greater than the average one-channel optical power to be equal to the number of wavelengths that are smaller than the average onechannel optical power. Adjust the flatness of each one-channel optical power, so that the OSNR of the receive end is flat and meets the design requirement. If the optical power flatness meets the index requirement, the optical power flatness can be sacrificed to guarantee the signal noise ratio. The one-channel standard optical power means that one channel should be adjusted to a value that guarantees the optimum performance. This value is generated based on the OSNR and non-linear balance and is the maximum input and output one-channel optical power that an optical amplifier unit allows. OSNR requires higher optical power. The higher the optical power, the better the OSNR. Excessive optical power can result in non-linear impact. The lower the input optical power, the smaller the non-linear impact.
Definition of one-channel standard optical power
The one-channel standard optical power can be calculated based on the maximum optical power index.
1. Commissioning Requirement for Optical Amplifier Unit
Calculation of one-channel standard optical power for optical amplifier unit

Suppose the one-channel standard optical power is S (mW), 10lgS (dBm). Suppose the maximum number of add or drop wavelengths is N for the optical amplifier unit and the optical power of each wavelength is the same, then Total optical power 10lgNS=10lgS+10lgNmaximum input and output optical power The one-channel standard input and output optical power 10lgS maximum input and output optical power - 10lgN, where N is the number of input wavelengths when the optical amplifier unit supports full wavelengths. For example, the input optical power range of an optical amplifier unit is -32 to -3 dBm and the maximum output optical power is 20 dBm When the optical amplifier unit supports 40 wavelengths, the one-channel standard input optical power is -3 - 10lg40 -19dBm When the optical amplifier unit supports 40 wavelengths, the one-channel standard output optical power is 20-10lg404dBm Question: is the number of wavelengths when the system supports full wavelengths equals to the number of wavelengths when the optical amplifier unit supports full wavelengths? No. For some WDM systems, the number of wavelengths when the optical amplifier unit supports full wavelengths is not equal to the number of wavelengths when the system supports full wavelengths. For example, the C+L band 80-channel system and the C+L band 160-channel system.

OAU hardware version
Introduction to the SSE3OAU Board
OAU type
Example: SSE3OAUC01C
Suffix of the board name
There are several types of finished SSE3OAU board are available. The SSEOAU is classified into different types according to different classification criteria: Classification according to the OAU hardware version: In the case of LH WDM products, there are E2, E3 and E4 series, of which the E2 series for the C band is manufacture discontinued and replaced by the E3OAU and the E2 series for the L band contains only the E2OAU01 currently. The E4 series can amplify the optical signals of the normal C band and the extended C band at the same time. The C6 series used in the Metro WDM products is developed based on the E3 series. Classification according to the OAU type: The E3OAU is classified into five types: C00, C01, C02, C03, andC05. The gain range and maximum/minimum input/output optical power vary with the type. For details on the specifications, refer to the Hardware Description Optical Amplifier Boards. Classification according to the suffix of the board name: There are six kinds of suffixes of the E3OAU board name: A, B, C, D, E, and R. A indicates that the EDFA module uses low power pump board with the EVOA; B indicates that the EDFA module uses low power pump board without the EVOA; C indicates that the EDFA module uses high power pump board with the EVOA; D indicates that the EDFA module uses high power pump board without the EVOA; There is only the E3OAUC03E board identified by the suffix E, which has a wider gain range. The boards identified by the suffix R are added with the return loss detection function, compared with the original boards. They are mainly used in the OptiX BWS 1600A products. The boards with suffix A and suffix C are interchangeable; the boards with suffix B and suffix D are interchangeable; the boards with suffix C and suffix D can replace the boards with suffix A and suffix B.

One-channel input optical power 1) If the one-channel average input optical power before you add an attenuator is higher than the one-channel standard input optical power, adjust the variable optical attenuator (VOA) to enable the one-channel average input optical power to reach the standard. 2) If the one-channel average input optical power cannot reach the one-channel standard input optical power, remove the VOA at the input end of the amplifier. In this way, the onechannel average input optical power remains the maximum optical power.

the OAU gain.
1. Check the front panel, or confirm that the OAU is of E3 series according the software version. Software version of E3/C6 is 3.XX.
2. Check the adjustable range of the gain. Use this command line: cfg-get-gainrange

2. Check the middle insertion loss of the DCM between the TDC and the RDC.
Well connect the board. Connect a DCM between the TDC and the RDC.
Port IN inputs light after power-on. According to the reported performance events, confirm the DCM insertion loss. Command for performance report: per-get-curdata. Definition of the OAU optical power is shown in the following figure. DCM insertion loss = output optical power of No.5 interface - input optical power of No.3 interface

3. According to the middle insertion loss, calculate the range of configurable gain of this OAU. Maximum configurable gain = Maximum gain DCM insertion loss OAU01:31 OAU05:34 OAU02:31 OAU03A/B/C/D:38 OAU03E:36
The minimum of configurable gain value: minimum gain For example:

For an OAU01 board, connected to a DCM whose insertion loss is 6 dB. The maximum of configurable gain = 31 6=25dB Gain range: 20 25dB
4. Confirm the single-wave average input power Pin.

As the requirement of commissioning, we should adjust the single-wave power to the standard value. (If it cant reach the standard value, please make it approach the standard value.)
1) An optical spectrum analyzer is recommended to test the optical power of input

signals. The average power of the single-wave power of all wavelength signals : Pin

5. Calculate the gain value Stdgain value = Single-wave Standard output power Pin
For an OAU with 20dBm maximum output, such as OAU01 and OAU03, when it is applied in a 40-channel system, the single-wave Standard output power is +4dBm; when it is applied in a 80-channel system, the single-wave output optical power is +1dBm.
An OAU2 with 17dBm maximum output is only applied in 40-channel systems and the output power is +1dBm.
Single-wave output power of an OAU5 with 23dBm maximum output is +7dBm/+4dBm.
Huawei Confidential
Page 30

6. Check step 3.
whether the gain exceeds the range.
The calculated value of Stdgain should be in the range of the calculated gain in
1. If the stdgain is lower than the minimum gain Cause: The optical power input to OAU is to high and causes excessively low gain. Example: In a 40-channel system, the single-wave optical power input to the OAU01 is 15dBm, then the Stdgain = 4 ( 15) = 19dB while the minimum gain of the OAU01 is 20dB.
Handling procedure: Increase the attenuation of the attenuator before the OAU to
decrease the single-wave average optical power. For example, if you increase the attenuation for 3dB, the input single-wave average optical power is 18dBm. Stdgain = 4 ( 18) = 22dB, which is acceptable.
Huawei Confidential
Page 31
Use Steps of the E3/C6 Series OAU STEP 6

2. The Stdgain value calculated exceeds the gain range obtained in step 3. Cause: The input per-channel optical power is excessively low, the DCM insertion loss is excessively high, or an improper OAU is used.
For example: In the 40-channel system, if the OAU01 board is used and the DCM insertion loss is 6 dB, the gain range must be 2025 dB. If the input per-channel optical power is 22 dBm, the Stdgain = 4 (22) = 26 dB, which exceeds the range. (1) The attenuation of the VOA attached to the OAU is excessively high. Decrease the attenuation of the VOA to increase the per-channel optical power. (If step4 is properly performed, this problem will not occur) (2) If the attenuation of the OAU attached to the OAU cannot be further decreased, it indicates that the DCM insertion loss is excessively high, or an improper OAU board is used for long hop transmission. As long hop has been taken into account during the project design period, the possibility of the latter is small. (1) Adjust the VOA attached to the IN port on the OAU to ensure that the per-channel input optical power is consistent with the standard per-channel input optical power. (2) If the DCM insertion loss is excessively high or an improper OAU is used, adjust the position of the DCM, for example remove the DCM from the OAU, to eliminate the extra attenuation caused by the DCM, or replace the OAU by a proper OAU board or by a combination of the OA boards. For the configuration rule of the OAU, refer to the OptiX BWS 1600G Network Design Guide and the OptiX Metro 6100 Network Design Guide . During the commissioning, if it is found that the marketing design cannot meet the

system requirements, fill in the Contract Problem Feedback Sheet.


7. Set the gain Use the command: cfg-set-stdgain. If it fails, the configured gain might exceed the gain range. Recheck whether the calculated gain is in the gain range calculated in step 3.
Settings on the NMS: Directly set in the Moninal Gain.
Setting gain
Real gain
The gain of the C-band wavelength channels oriented the E3OAU and E4OAU can be adjusted within 2.5 dB of the gain boundary. It is used in the ALC function but not allowed to be used in commissioning.
8. Query the actual gain

After you set the gain, query whether it is successfully issued. Use command line: cfg-get-gain On the NMS: Criterion: The command succeeds if the queried actual gain Gain is within the range of the issued stdgain0.5dB. If the command fails, recheck whether the Stdgain exceeds the gain range.

Flatness Requirement in Commissioning One-Channel Optical Power Flatness requirement of one-channel optical power
Adjust the optical power of each wavelength to fall inside the range (-2 dB to 2 dB) of average one-channel optical power. Under special conditions (RAMAN/ROP/ULH has worse OSNR), the index requirement also apply. If the optical power flatness meet the index requirement, the optical power flatness can be sacrificed to guarantee the flatness of OSNR (or BER). adjust the transmit end based on the receive endmonitor the receive end and adjust the transmit end to ensure optical power flatness at the receive end. The purpose of adjusting the optical power flatness of each wavelength is to ensure that the OSNR of the receive end is flat and meets the design requirement. If the designed OSNR is not met, the OSNR and flatness need to be further adjusted. Before an optical amplifier unit is adjusted, ensure that the attenuator of each wavelength has enough tunable range. Set the initial value according to tunable range. 1. Currently, you can adjust the optical power flatness of each wavelength only when each wavelength has a tunable attenuator. If not in the case, you can only check, but cannot adjust the flatness of transmitted optical power. 2. After you adjust the one-channel average optical power of an optical amplifier unit, consider to adjust the optical power flatness of each wavelength at the receive end.

Definition of total optical power
Total optical power refers to the total optical power of the obtained standard perchannel optical power after commissioning the board.
The total standard optical power satisfies the following formula:
Total standard optical power = Standard per-channel optical power + 10lgn +
offset.
The definition of the standard per-channel optical power is the same as the definition provided previously;
n refers to the number of signal wavelengths accessed by the OAU contain; offset refers to the power offset that is added to compensate for the optical power during power commissioning performed by using the optical power meter to reduce the noise impact. The offset value varies indirectly with the number of wavelengths and OSNR.
The theoretical OSNR value can be obtained by using the OptiX BWS 1600G OSNR calculation tool.
Theoretical calculation of total optical power
Noise optical power = 10lgN1 = 10lg (40 x 8 x N) = 10lgS (output/input average onechannel optical power of the optical amplifier unit) 10lgS/N (local OSNR) + 10 x lg8 + 10 x lg40. N1 is the total noise optical power, N is 0.1 nm noise optical power. OSNR defines the noise as 0.1 nm.
Signal optical power = 10LgS1 = 10lgnS = 10lgS (output/input average one-channel
optical power of the optical amplifier unit) + 10lgn. n is the current number of
wavelengths, S1 is the total signal optical power, and S is the one-channel signal optical power.
Total optical power = 10lg (S1 + N1) offset = 10lg (S1+N1)10lgS1 = 10lg (1 + N1/S1), N1=40 x 8 x N, S1=nS offset10lg (1 + (40 x 8/n) x N/S) Note: This method can be used to verify the total optical power that is calculated by using the previous method.

Sample offset computation
For example, the one-channel standard output optical power of an optical amplifier unit is adjusted to +4 dBm. The OSNR is 22 dB. Totally there are two wavelengths. What is the total standard output optical power that should be commissioned?
OSNR = 10lgS/N = 22 dB
N/S = 0.0063 offset = 10lg (1 +(40 x 8/n) x N/S) = 10lg (1 + (40 x 8/2) x 0.0063) = 3 dB offset is irrelevant to the input and output optical power, but is relevant to OSNR, amplification range of an optical amplifier unit (for example, 320 nm, 1529 nm-1561 nm, 40 channel x 0.8 nm) and the number of current add/drop wavelengths.
The wavelength range is a fixed parameter for the optical amplifier unit. The higher OSNR, the less offset. The more wavelengths, the less offset.
For 10 channels, offset = 10lg (1+(40 x 8/n) x N/S) = 10lg (1+ (40 x 8/10) x 0.0063) =
0.8 dB

Example: Commissioning the E3OAU board
The OptiX BWS 1600G III system is a 40 x 10G system. In the system, the OSNR before being input to the OAU at the receive end is about 25 dB, and there are four channels in total. The calculated standard per-channel input optical power and output optical power are 20dBm and 4dBm, respectively. Use the offset calculation tool to calculate the input
offset and the calculated value is about 1 dB. Then, calculate the standard total input optical
power and the calculated value is 13 dBm.
If the total input optical power is 9 dBm before attaching the VOA to the OAU:

Adjust the VOA to ensure that the input optical power reaches the standard level, i.e. 13 dBm; 20 (standard per-channel input optical power) = 13 10lg4 1;
Set value = 4 (20) = 24 dB (make sure that it is within the gain range);
Query the total output optical power and it is approximately 11.2 dBm. Theoretical calculated value: 11.2 dBm 4 + 10lg4 + 1.2 (offset), which is consistent with the queried value. The Offset in the formula is related to the output OSNR, which is about 24.02 dB as obtained through calculation performed by using the OSNR calculation tool. Thus, the output offset is about 1.2 dB. Huawei Confidential Page 44
If the total input optical power is 20 dBm before attaching the VOA to the OAU:
Remove the VOA to ensure that the input optical power reaches the maximum value, i.e. 20 dBm.
27 (input per-channel optical power) = 20 10lg4 1; Set value = 4 (27) = 31 dB (make sure that it is within the gain range); Query the total output optical power and it is approximately 11.64 dBm. Theoretical calculated value: 11.64 dBm 4 + 10lg4 + 1.64 (offset), which is consistent with the queried value. The Offset in the formula is related to the output OSNR, which is about 22.4 dB as obtained through the calculation performed by using the OSNR calculation tool. Thus, the output offset is about 1.64 dB. If the offset (OSNR) value is improperly set, commissioning result may be inaccurate.
Precautions:

In the case of the pass-through wavelengths, when the OSNR of each wavelength is different, use the minimum OSNR.

OAU05/OBU05/HBA Commissioning
Compared OAU05/OBU05 with OAU03/OBU03, the maximum transmitting optical power is 23 dBm. In the 40-wavelength system, the standard output single-wavelength optical power is + 7 dBm. Commissioning for other values is the same. The maximum output optical power of HBA can reach 26 dBm. For the 40wavelength system, the single-wavelength output optical power is + 10 dBm. Considering high optical power with full wavelengths configuration, the optical power from HBA to FIU is the APC. The optical power on the local HBA (020km) is higher, so ensure the quality of transmission fiber. A common fiber connector may burn the fiber surface, thus bringing on bad influences for the system security. The fiber splice mode is preferred between the HBA and local Raman amplifier (within 20km) and fiber connector is avoided. When fiber connector is mandatory, the fiber jumper and connector should be processed specially; namely, use APC jumper and flange.
Commissioning Requirement on Optical Power of Raman Amplifier
Requirements
The switch gain of a Raman amplifier 10 dB The gain flatness of each channel should fall inside the 3 dB range. RPC has two pump and RPA has three pump. Amplification is the result of the functioning of all pump.
When the gain is guaranteed, set the pump optical power to a lower value for security. The working current cannot exceeds the threshold.
Before you turn on a pump laser, you need to enable IPA for the purpose of security. The T2000 disables IPA. You must enable IPA to turn on the pump laser. Fiber Type (by standard) P1 (power of pump group 1) 24.0 dBm 23.0 dBm P2 (power of pump group 2) 24.0 dBm 22.5 dBm

6. Commissioning Requirement and Method on Optical Power of Raman Amplifier
Method of commissioning optical power of Raman amplifier gain 1. After you connect fibers, when you have not turned on a pump laser, use the optical spectrum analyzer to monitor the MON port on a Raman amplifier and test the optical power of a one-channel signal. 2. Set the pump optical power to a recommended value. You need to set it for two pump groups. 3. Turn on the two groups of pump lasers and read the optical power of the one-channel signal by using the optical spectrum analyzer. 4. Compare the optical power of the one-channel signal when the pump laser is on and that when the pump laser is off, and calculate the switch gain. 5. If the switch gain is less than 10 dB, you can moderately increase the two groups of output pump optical power by 0.1 dB at a time, until the minimum channel switch gain is large than 10 dB. Note: As you must enable IPA by using the T2000, a direct test on SYS enables IPA and shuts down the Raman pump. As a result, you cannot commission the optical power of the Raman amplifier. Notes: The working current threshold crossing alarm indicates that you set a high value for the pump optical power and need to set it to a lower value. The pump optical power that you set cannot generate this alarm. If this alarm is generated and the gain cannot reach the value of 10 dB, you need to shut down the laser and check or replace fibers.

Method of commissioning optical power of Raman amplifier gain flatness
1. After you adjust the switch gain to meet the value of 10 dB, compare the gain flatness of each channel and check whether they fall inside the range of 3 dB. If so, usually you need not adjust the gain flatness. 2. If the gain flatness of each channel exceeds 3 dB, or wavelengths concentrate on a wavelength, and you cannot correctly verify whether the gain spectrum is flat, you need to use ASE spectrum to verify it. 3. After you stop the signals at the transmit end, keep the same pump settings, and turn on the pump laser. Use the optical spectrum analyzer to test the SYS port. The test result is the ASE spectrum. 4. Compare the two wave peaks of 1535 nm and 1560 nm wavelengths in ASE spectrum. See if the optical power of the wave peak of the 1535 nm wavelength is approximately 1.2 dB (0.7 dB to 1.7 dB ) higher than that of the 1560 nm wavelength. If the compared value falls inside this range, you need not adjust the gain flatness. Note 1: Generally, you need not adjust the gain flatness. This method of adjusting gain flatness cannot be performed by using the T2000 because stopping signals at the transmit end turns off the pump of the Raman board. Note 2: For the purpose of security, you must use the T2000 to enable IPA before you can turn on the laser. Hence, when you turn on the laser, you must set the IPA auxiliary detection of Raman, to ensure that IPA does not shut down the laser during testing.

5. If the optical power of the wave peak of the 1535 nm wavelength is 1.7 dB higher than that of the 1560 nm wavelength, decrease the pump optical power of pump laser group 1 by 0.1 dB and increase the pump optical power of pump laser group 2 by 0.1 dB, until the optical power difference meets the requirement. 6. If the optical power of the wave peak of the 1535 nm wavelength is less than 0.7 dB higher than that of the 1560 nm wavelength, increase the pump optical power of pump laser group 1 by 0.1 dB and decrease the pump optical power of pump laser group 2 by 0.1 dB, until the optical power difference meets the requirement. 7. After you adjust the gain flatness, you need to re-test the switch gain. If the switch gain of all channels cannot be large than 10 dB, you need to re-adjust the switch gain in the way as described previously. Note: Adjusting the pump optical power of pump laser group 1 changes the optical power of the 1535 nm wavelength. Adjusting the pump optical power of pump laser group 2 changes the optical power of the 1560 nm wavelength.
6. Commissioning Requirement on Optical Power of Raman Amplifier
Raman line requirements
The Raman amplifier has a high requirement on the near-end line fiber loss. There should be no connector in the circumference of 0 km to 20 km except at one end of the ODF. The two ends of fibers at all connection points must be fusion spliced. Before you use a Raman amplifier, you must use OTDR to test the fibers on the line. It is recommended that the additional loss of the single-point loss event of fibers and cables in the line should meet the following criteria: the single-point additional loss is less than 0.1 dB (G652) or 0.2 dB (G655) in the circumference of 0 km to 10 km; the single-point additional loss is less than 0.2 dB (G652) or 0.4 dB (G655) in the circumference of 10 km to 20 km; the single-point additional loss is less than 0.4 dB in the circumference of 20 km to 30 km; the single-point additional loss is less than 1 dB in the circumference of 30 km to 40 km; the single-point additional loss is less than 2 dB in the circumference of more than 40 km. In addition, the single-point return loss cannot be less than 40 dB. The fiber connector must be clean. If a spot appears on the fiber connector, the connector may easily be blown out. The bending radius of a fiber jumper should be more than 4 cm. A large bending radius can blow out the fiber jump.

Commissioning precautions
The negative output optical power of a Raman amplifier can be 27 dBm. When you insert and remove a fiber end, ensure that the laser is off as the laser exposure can cause permanent eye damage. Currently, Raman amplifiers use backward pump structure. Strong pump lights are accessed to fibers through the input end (line) instead of the output end (SYS). For the purpose of security, you must set IPA by using the latest version of the T2000 before you can turn on the Raman pump lights. Do not add non-fiber equipment and units, such as an attenuator and fiber jumper, at the input end of SSE1RPA/C. Use the special APC fiber connector. If you use the PC fiber connector, great reflection can blow out the fiber connector.

7. Commissioning Requirement on Optical Power In the Event of No Amplifier (e.g. CWDM)
Commissioning Requirement on Optical Power In the Event of No Amplification (e.g. CWDM)
You need not commission the optical power in the line for the wavelengths that do not pass the amplifier, and need not ensure the optical power flatness of each wavelength in the line.
If an amplifier is not installed at the local transmit end but one is installed at the
opposite receive end, you need to adjust the flatness of launched optical power of each wavelength to a high value as much as possible.
If an amplifier is not installed at the local receive end, you need not use a VOA to
adjust the optical power of the dropped wavelengths in the line.
CWDM has no amplifier as CWDM has wide wavelength frequency that results in a high cost to install an amplifier.

Commission Requirement and Method for OTU
1. Commissioning Requirement for OTU
Basic commissioning requirements The input optical power of the OTU must meet the requirement of receiver sensitivity+3 to overload point5. The received optical power of the OTU should be in the level of the middle value between the overload point and the sensitivity. Multiple types of OTU boards should be normalized whenever possible for easy management. The bit error rate before error correction of an OTU should be less than -7. The value that is less than -11 is better. Method Test the received optical power of the OTU, and add, change or remove a fixed optical attenuator according to the requirements on the optical power. Notes During commissioning, it is forbidden that the optical power that exceeds the overload point is accessed into the receive interface on the OTU. Otherwise, the optical module may be blown out. Exercise caution when you use the OTDR. When you use the OTDR, you should disconnect the fiber on the opposite ODF. Though the optical power that the OTDR tests is small, the optical power of a pulse signal can transiently be up to 20 dBm. If the optical power that exceeds the overload point is accessed into the local equipment by mistake or the fiber on the opposite ODF is not disconnected, the optical module is easily blown out.

Commissioning requirements on special OTU
The boards (the last letter of a board name is s) that support Super WDM and the same type of boards that do not support Super WDM have inconsistent transmitted waveform due to inconsistent transmitting modules and coding methods. The boards that support Super WDM has a better OSNR tolerance and can be interconnected with the same type of boards that do not support Super WDM. The way of commissioning the optical power for the boards that support Super WDM is the same as the way of commissioning the optical power of other OTU boards. When you use an optical spectrum analyzer to test the optical power, use the special instrument, such as Aglint86145B. The signal peak bandwidth that you need to set is 0.5 nm and the noise RES bandwidth is 0.1 nm. The way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU boards with FEC/AFEC is the same as the way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU boards without FEC. Be aware that the OTU boards without FEC cannot be interconnected with the OTU boards with FEC/AFEC. The designed OSNR tolerance for the OTU boards without FEC and that for the OTU boards with FEC/AFEC are better.
Commissioning requirements on special OTU There is no difference in the commissioning requirements and methods for 10G OTU and 2.5G OTU boards. But, the dispersion tolerance that you configure for 10G OTU boards is smaller than that you configure for 2.5G OTU boards. Hence, you need to add DCM for dispersion compensation. The way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU boards that support GE services is the same as the way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU boards that support SDH services. You need to use smartbits to test bit errors. In addition, set the same auto-negotiation mode for both ends. The way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU board at the 50 GHz spacing is the same as the way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU board at the 100 GHz spacing. The 50G CRZ signal cannot be directly tested by using the optical spectrum analyzer. Only the integral test method can be used. The way of commissioning the optical power for the OTU boards with the optical tunable transponder is the same as the way of commissioning the optical power for other OTU boards. You can use the T2000 to set wavelengths.

Fixed attenuators are not needed between OA and D40, while they are required on receiving port of OTU at WDM side: 15 dB is added for APD and 7 dB is for PIN.. As for WDM side in 6100 OTM, a tunable attenuator is needed on each pass-through wavelength as well as on added wavelength.
Commissioning Requirements for Special OTUs

Super WDM boards
Comparison of the Super WDM boards (the board name of every Super WDM board contains an "s") and the boards of the same type but without the Super WDM function: They have different transmit modules, and the coding of the boards are different. Thus, the wave forms that the boards transmitted are different. The Super WDM boards have better OSNR tolerance and can be connected to the boards without the Super WDM function. Note that the dispersion tolerance requirements is different when you use the Super WDM boards to replace the boards without the Super WDM function. When detecting the optical power and OSNR, there are special requirements for the optical spectrum analyzer, which must
provide the functions to set the signal bandwidth and noise equivalent bandwidth. For details, refer to the Guide to Testing
the DRZ_CRZ Signal OSNR for Super DWDM System
FEC, AFEC
The commissioning requirements for the OTUs with FEC/AFEC and the OTUs without the FEC are similar. Note that the OTUs without FEC, the OTUs with FEC, and the OTUs with AFEC cannot be connected to each other. Of the three types of OTU board, the OTUs with AFEC have better OSNR tolerance than the OTUs with FEC; the OTUs with FEC, however, have better OSNR tolerance than the OTUs without FEC. For details, refer to the Special Topic on OptiX WDM
Products FEC Function .
Dispersion tolerance
The 10G OTUs and 2.5G OTUs share the same commissioning requirements. However, the 10G OTUs have lower
dispersion tolerance than the 2.5G OTUs. Thus, during configuration, the DCM modules must be used for the 10G OTUs for dispersion compensation.
Configuration of tunable wavelengths
The wavelength tunable OTUs are commissioned in the same way as the other OTUs. However, wavelengths of the
wavelength tunable OTUs can be configured on the NMS.
The OTUs for GE services and the OTUs for SDH services are similar in power commissioning. However, you need to
GE service boards Multi-service integrated boards
use the smartbits test equipment to test the BER of the OTUs for GE services. In addition, the working mode of the local
10G OTU must be consistent with the working mode of the opposite OTU. For example, if the local OTU works under the auto negotiation mode, the opposite OTU also must work under the auto negotiation mode.
When configuring the LWX, LWM, LQM, and LBF multi-service integrated boards, you need to set the service rate
and type of every port according to the relevant engineering design.

The fiber connection from FIU-OUT to ODF, and the one from downstream ODF to FIU-IN are connected by installers who are responsible for the quality of the connection. The optical power from FIU-RC through FIU-TC should be smaller than the planned attenuation. If the value exceeds the planned attenuation, you need to use the optical power tester to test the following section by section: FIU insertion loss, fiber-routing attenuation, connected ring flange attenuation, and cable attenuation. For a fiber/cable problem, request the customer to change the fiber core or rectify it.

Commissioning the Supervisory ChannelsPower Commissioning
Supervisory channel commissioning involves optical supervisory channel (OSC) commissioning and electrical supervisory channel (ESC) commissioning.
In the case of the OSC, the commissioning involves optical power commissioning and clock commissioning. The commissioning requirements for the OSC optical power are as follows:
The receive optical power of the supervisory signal processing board must be in the range from 45 dBm to 15 dBm after the commissioning. A fixed optical attenuator of 15 dB must be used when the OSC channels of a station are connected to each other.
Operation procedure:
Check whether the fibers of the OSC board are properly connected (for details, refer to the NE
Commissioning of OptiX WDM Products). Configure the wavelength range of the optical power meter: In the case of C band, set the wavelength to 1550 nm. In the case of L band, set the wavelength to 1625 nm.
On the power meter, measure the transmit and receive optical power of the OSC board. Record the test result in the Optical Power Commissioning Record Table.

Commissioning the Supervisory Channels Clock Commissioning
The commissioning requirements for the OSC clock are as follows:
On the entire network, the local clock of the SCC board at one station must function as the clock source, and the communication between the OSC/OTC boards and the SCC boards of other stations must be synchronous to this clock. Otherwise, a slip code will occur on the OSC/OTC board of every NE. Internal clock source Tracing the west clock Tracing the west clock Tracing the west clock
If the network is a ring network, the clock configuration is as follows:

Set the clock of the SCC at the master station to the local clock source. Regarding the clocks on the SCC boards at other stations: The first priority clock functions the clock of slot 6, and the second priority clock functions as the local clock. (the internal clock has the lowest priority and cannot be configured) Regarding the clocks on the SC2/TC2 boards at other stations: The returned clock is the west clock (There are two types of clock can be returned: west clock and east clock, which correspond to optical interfaces 1 and 2 on the SC2/TC2, respectively. The west clock is returned by default. That is, the clock at optical interface 1. The SC1/TC1 board can return only the west clock.) For more clock-related information, refer to the Creating

Configuring the Attributes of the WDMSide Ports
During the commissioning, if services cannot be added to the OTU board, you need to
forcibly enable the laser on the WDM side of the board. In addition, follow the following
instructions:
When configuring a wavelength tunable OTU, you need to set the wavelength according to the engineering design. The boards connected to each other must work under the same FEC mode.
When configuring the LWX, LWM, LQM, and LBF multi-service integrated boards, you need
to set the service rate and type of every port according to the engineering design. The GE boards must work under the auto negotiation mode. The boards accessing multi-services must be configured with proper service types. The WXCP series boards (ETMX and LOG) must be configured with intra-board crossconnections.
According to the commissioning requirements for the special OTUs, complete the relevant configurations of the boards. For details, refer to the corresponding deployment guide.

Actions in commissioning OTM transmit optical power

Test the optical power of the interconnected SDH equipment of the ODF. The optical power is 2dBm. Be informed that the client-side of the LWF is the PIN receive optical module, and the optical power should between -6 and -12dBm. Add 7dB fixed attenuation. The tested optical power of the LWF-RX is -9dBm. Operations in this step can be performed during the service cutover. After the SDH signals are access or after the lights are forced to emit, test the optical power of LWF-OUT to see whether the optical power is normal. Test the optical power of M40-M0/M40-OUT. The typical insertion loss of M40 is about 6dB. Test the optical power of OBU-IN. Adjust the VOA to set the average single-wavelength optical power of OBU-IN to -19dBm (OBU-3 single-wavelength standard optical power). Test the optical power of OBU-OUT. The average single-wavelength optical power is about =4dBm. Test the optical power of FIU-RC/FIU-OUT/ SC1-TM/FIU-RM and ODF to set whether the FIU insertion loss and fiber jumper attenuation are normal.

Test the optical power of the line ODF/FIU-IN/FIU-TC/FIU-TM/SC1-RM. The attenuation=upstream FIU-RC optical power-local FIU-TC optical power=28dB. The value is smaller than the planned attenuation (30dB), which indicates that the line attenuation, FIU, and the fiber connected are all normal.
Test the single-wavelength optical power of FIU-TC. The tested value is -24dBm, smaller than 20dBm (E3OAUC03E standard single-wavelength input optical power). Remove the VOA, use the short fiber jumper to directly connect FIU-TC/OAU-IN.
Set the gain. (The gain=4-(-24)28dB) Test the average single-wavelength optical power of OAU. The value is +4dBm. Test the optical power of the D40-IN/D40-D0 optical ports. Test the optical power of LWF-IN. The value is -2dBm. Add 7dBm fixed attenuation, so that the optical power is -9dBm, meeting the required value between -6-10dBm.

This value is smaller than 33dB, the planned attenuation. This fact indicates that the line attenuation, FIU, and the connected fiber are all normal.

Adjust the VOA of the receive OAU and OADM so that for the OADM, the optical power of the drop wavelength that has the smallest insertion loss is -6dBm. (Metro 6100 does not have the attenuator, and needs not to be adjusted.) Test the optical power of the drop wavelength from LWF-IN. The largest optical power is -6dBm and others are about -6.5dBm, -8dBm, and -8,5dBm. If the wavelength dropped from the OUT is received by APD, you need to add 10dBm attenuation. (For the Metro 6100, you need to add the fixed attenuation, and add a 10dBm attenuator for LWF. The input optical power of LWF is about -8dBm.) Use the spectrum analyzer to test the single wavelength optical power of the OBU-IN. Adjust the VOA between the west and east OADMs so that the average single wavelength optical power of the pass-through wavelengths is -19dBm (standard OBU single wavelength optical power) at the transmit OBU-IN. Adjust the VOA between the MR2 and each LWF-OUT with wavelengths added so that the single wavelength optical power of each added wavelength is -19dBm on the OBU-IN. You can use the MON port of the OAU to perform the commission without interrupting the signals of the wavelengths dropped, added and passing through the local NE. You do not need to calculate the Offset. A spectrum analyzer is required.

Note: The single wavelength optical power of the pass-through wavelengths can be a bit higher than the added wavelength. The final average single wavelength optical power is -19dBm. Why?
To equalize the OSNR, you can elevate the OSNR because the optical power of pass-through wavelengths are comparatively low.

One channel is dropped at the local site, and the other channel is transmitted to the opposite ROAM. The PLC ROADM in the ROAM controls the pass-through optical signals. The PLC ROADM in the ROAM board has the power detection function. So the optical power detection and MON port are not configured. The embedded optical power detection function detects the optical power of each channel at the in port and the out port. The VOA in the PLC ROADM component equalizes the optical power.

EXPI MON
OUT MI MO
RMU is mainly used together with WSS to realize the wavelength adding at the local site and the inter-ring connections from multiple directions. Normally, you only need to cascade MI and MO to add or drop the local wavelength through the Add port.
MON
RMU
Add
If the optical power budget for some adding signals is tight, you can cascade an amplifier between MI and MO. For example, if the optical power becomes low after a 10G signal experiences the duel fed and selective receiving at the OLP, the optical power may be too low for an add wavelength. In this case, you need to cascade an amplifier to solve the problem.
When the RMU is used for inter-ring interconnection, only the Add to MO section is involved. Hence, if the WSS+RMU is used in inter-ring interconnection, the default pass-through port is no longer the IN port, but one of the Add ports. RMU also supports cascading multiple levels and adding/dropping more wavelengths. But this way of configuration is not recommended because in this scenario, the optical power budget is very tight. The optical detection function and MON port are configured at the IN and MO ports of the RMU. They are used to supervise the optical signals and detect the in signals and out signals by using the external meters or the MCA functional unit.
ROADM Commission
The RMU is used to play the part of the multiplexing function of WSS. Since the Add port is insensitive to the wavelengths, RMU enables any wavelengths to be added from any port. RMU includes a 1*2 combiner and a 1*8 combiner. When it is used as an intra-ring ROADM, the MI and MO can be directly connected, and an amplifier can be cascaded. The 1*8 combiner is used to combine the adding signals, and the 1*2 combiner is used to combine the local signals with the pass-through signals. When it is used as an inter-ring ROADM, the MI and OUT ports are not involved in the channel combination. Only the 1*8 combiner is used to combine the signals from different directions.

On the T2000, create optical cross-connections from the west FIU to the west receive end of the OTU, optical cross-connections from west FIU to east FIU, and optical cross-connections from the east transmit end of OTU to the east FIU. Set the optical power at the OUT port of the west receive end of the OAU1 to 4dBM (standard single-wavelength output optical power). Set the rated optical power at the IN port of the east transmit end of the OBU1 to -19dBm (standard single-wavelength input optical power). Set the receive optical power of the OTU that drops wavelengths to -8dBm (The allowed margin is base on the optical power commissioning requirements). WSD9 and WSM9 automatically adjust the optical power of the wavelengths dropped from the west OTU, directly added to the east OTU and passing through from the east. In this way the average input optical power at the IN port of the east transmit end of OBU1 and the receive optical power of the drop-wavelength OTU meet the requirement.
The east OTU adds wavelengths through OADM or M40. You need to adjust the VOA of the OTU and M40 as follows. Test the output optical power of M40. Set the VOA to the lowest and find out the wavelength that has the lowest optical power. Adjust the VOA for all other wavelengths so that the single-wavelength optical power of each wavelength equals to the lowest optical power.
Set the channel insertion loss for the multiplexed wavelength of the OTU that is indirectly connected to the RMU so that the tested single-wavelength optical power of OBU-IN is -19dBm.

Optical power equilibrium commissioning
The V40/V32 and DGE are used for optical power equilibrium commissioning.
Step 1
Operation instruction Adjust the VOA attenuation of respective channels of V40 at the originating end to 5dB;
Adjust the optical power of this regenerator section following the instruction introduced Commissioning the optical power of combined signals
Connect the spectrometer to the MON optical interface of the last-stage optical amplification board, and measure the optical power and signal-to-noise ratio of each channel in WDM mode; Find the channel with the maximum and minimum optical power (or signal-to-noise ratio) in the spectrogram measured, then adjust the VOA of the corresponding V40 channel to make the optical power (or signal-to-noise ratio) close to the average value; Repeat Step 4 until the biggest difference of the optical power (or signal-to-noise ratio) in all the channels is within 4dB (or 2dB); When the above steps are done, usually the total input and output optical power of respective amplifier stages will not change obviously and the commissioning is completed. If the change is relatively obvious, the VOA before the first-stage optical amplifier has to be readjusted to make its input optical power reach the standard, while the optical power of the subsequent optical amplifiers need not be adjusted.
Adjustment: Monitor the optical power of single wavelength and OSNR of the optical amplifier at
the receive end and adjust the

attenuation of each wavelength of the V40/V32/DGE at the transmit end.

Board Performance Optimization
After adjusting the receive OSNR of the OTM, query the BER before correction of every
OTU to check whether the BER before correction is flat. If the BER before correction of a channel is greater than the average BER before correction, optimize the channel performance through the following two methods:
Method Improving OSNR
Principle OSNR degrade varies indirectly with the input power of an OAU. Thus, you can
Operation Decrease the attenuation of the corresponding channel on the V40/DGE at the transmit end to
improve the receive OSNR by increasing

the per-channel power of the OAU. Reducing nonlinearity Non-linear effects are caused when the incident power is excessively high.
improve the receive OSNR.
Increase the attenuation of the corresponding channel on the V40 at the transmit end to reduce the input power of every OAU on the link.
"Reducing non-linearity" is a inverse operation of "improving OSNR". Thus, you need to make a balance between the non-linearity and OSNR when commissioning the per-channel power, to ensure the best quality signals. In general, "improving OSNR" is used for per-channel performance optimization.

Requirements on Optical Power and OSNR
After the commissioning, make sure that the system optical power and OSNR can meet the design requirements.
If it is confirmed that the line attenuation is excessively high, which causes very low optical power and OSNR, you need to consult with the customer on replacing the fiber core of the optical cable or rectifying the optical cable.
The requirements on the optical power flatness and the requirements on the OSNR flatness should be satisfied at the same time. If the former conflicts with the latter, the latter enjoys a higher priority provided that the optical power specifications meet the design requirement.

BER Test
The BER test is the final phase of system commissioning and the test results are the key indexes used to measure the quality of the DWDM system. The BER test mainly verifies the system stability when no anomaly occurs. The BER test must last for consecutive 24 hours and the test must be performed for every service channel. According to the arrangement of serial connection test, before the BER test, you should complete the loopback test and serial connection test. The BER test on the system should be performed according to the Acceptance Guide to WDM
Products.
Precautions:
On the test equipment, set the PRBS of the receive and transmit signals to 223-1; set the external clock as the reference clock and the test time period to 24 hours. After performing the test, print out the test results. (Note: After performing the project commissioning, you can use the built-in PRBS function of the OTU board to perform the BER test. For details, refer to the Special Topic on OptiX WDM Products PRBS Function.) Before performing the BER test, use the NMS to monitor the entire system to facilitate the fault localization and performance analysis on the NMS. Ensure that there is no bit errors during the current 24 hours. If bit errors occur, determine the causes and solve the problem. Then, perform the 24-hour BER test for a second or third time until no bit error occurs.
