Power (cont.)
Based on the queried values along with the specifications of optical
modules, judge whether they are within the normal value range. The receive
optical power should be 3 dB more than the minimum sensitivity and 5 dB
less than the minimum overload provided in the specifications.
If the values are beyond the normal range, adjust the optical power by
increasing or decreasing the number of attenuators to ensure that the receive
and transmit optical power is within the normal value range.
Perform the loopback test for the services upon the completion of the
optical power test. Ensure that no bit errors occur in five minutes.
Note: The attenuator should be connected to the receive end other than
the transmit end.

If the SDH analyzer is used to test the optical interface board, first use the
optical power meter to test the optical power before the test and use the
attenuator to ensure that the optical power is within the normal range. This
can protect the instrument and the board.

Aligning the Antenna
Prerequisites
The NE commissioning of the radio equipment at both ends of the same radio
link must be complete.
During the commissioning, the weather should be suitable and there should be
no rain/fog between stations.
The on-site conditions and personnel in charge of the antenna commissioning
must meet the requirements of operation at a high altitude.
Tools and Instruments
Wrench, multi-meter and intercom.
Note: If there are 2 antennas at each site, it needs to align the main
antennas and diversity antennas at both ends respectively. First align the
main antennas and then the diversity antennas. Both antennas at local site
should be aligned with the main antenna at opposite end.
Copyright © 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 37
Aligning the Antenna (cont.)
Procedure
1. According to the designed received signal level (RSL) along with the
relationship curve between the VBNC and RSL described in the user documents
(shipped with the equipment) of the ODU, read the designed value of the VBNC.
2. Align the antennas at both ends approximately by using the specific tool
(telescope) or instrument (COMPASS or GPS). If the antennas at both ends are
not aligned approximately, the VBNC cannot be adjusted to the designed value.
3. Fix the antenna at the opposite end, and adjust the azimuth (elevation) of the
antenna at the local end in a wide range. Use the multi-meter to observe the
VBNC value of the ODU at the local end. At least three peak signals should be
detected and the voltage of the peak signal in the middle should be maximum.
When the VBNC reaches the maximum value, tighten the antenna. When the
antenna is being tightened, keep that the VBNC is always the maximum.

Aligning the Antenna (cont.)
4. As step 3, adjust the elevation (azimuth) of the antenna. And tighten
it.
5. Tighten the antennas at the local end. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to adjust
the antennas at the opposite end and tighten them.
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 for two to four times. When the RSL of the antenna
s at the local end and the remote end reach the maximum value, tighten
the antennas at both ends.
7. Test VBNC of ODUs at both ends by multi-meter. Read the actual receive p
ower level (RSL) by referring to the relationship curve between the VBNC
and RSL for the ODUs at both ends. The difference between actual RSL v
alue and it’s designed value should be ranged from -3 dB to +3 dB.
8. If the VBNC does not meet the above requirements, check whether the ante
nnas at both ends are approximately aligned by referring to the step2.
Also you can refer to the OptiX RTN 600 Radio Transmission System Main
tenance Guide for solutions.
9. After antennas aligning is complete, tighten all screws of the antenna
s.

Testing the 24-Hour BER
Prerequisites
Antenna alignment must be complete.
Tools and Instruments
BER tester and Web LCT
Precautions
If the 24-hour BER cannot be tested for each hop on the link because of the
restrictions of the actual situation, choose the E1 service of the first node and
terminal node of each link to perform this test. This operation ensures that
the test path covers all the radio links.
The following test procedure considers the E1 service between stations as an
example. If no E1 service is configured between stations, perform the test
through the configured WS service (only applicable in the SDH radio).

Testing the 24-Hour BER (cont.)
Procedure
At local site, extract several typical
E1 services, and perform the hardware i
nloop for the E1 ports. If the hardware
inloop is unfeasible, perform the softw
are inloop for the E1 ports by using th
e Web LCT.
At remote site, connect the E1 services
in a serial manner at the DDF, and acce
ss them to the BER tester.
