1 Introduction

About This Chapter

The Optical Doctor (OD) system performs online OSNR monitoring, performance monitoring,
and performance optimization for 10G, 40G, and 100G wavelengths, greatly improving the
optical-layer maintenance capability of WDM transmission systems.

1.1 System Overview

Huawei OTN equipment supports the Optical Doctor (OD) system. The OD system provides for
intelligent end-to-end, refined, and digital management of the optical layer on a WDM network.
Through centralized configuration for optical-layer parameters, the OD system supports
automatic monitoring, analysis, commissioning, and optimization of network performance.

1.2 Glance at OD Functions

The Optical Doctor (OD) system achieves centralized management and simple configuration,
and graphically displays monitoring results using the U2000.

1.1 System Overview

Challenges for WDM Network O&M

As WDM networks adopt higher transmission rates and become meshed, reliable network
maintenance plays a more important role. An easier-to-use and more professional operation and
maintenance (O&M) tool is required.
Currently, WDM networks are facing the following difficulties in the deployment,
commissioning, configuration, and network maintenance phases:
l Lack of quick and accurate OSNR monitoring methods:
After the network rate increases to 40 Gbit/s or higher, the original spectrum monitoring
method cannot quickly and accurately monitor the OSNR of a system. It is a great challenge
and a trend to develop an online OSNR monitoring tool for network maintenance.
l Lack of reliable and quick optical-layer O&M methods:
On meshed networks, WDM services become more flexible, and frequent service creation
and deletion make network commissioning and maintenance more complex. Traditional
manual OSNR monitoring cannot address WDM network development requirements from
the following aspects:
– Configuration is complex.
When network optical-layer performance needs to be monitored or optimized,
configuration needs to be performed for each site on the network, which is time-
consuming and costly. In addition, some configuration items are widely dispersed and
therefore are easily neglected. As a result, commissioning engineers have to perform a
network-wide check site by site, leading to low efficiency.
– Network performance deterioration cannot be detected in a timely manner.
Optical power fluctuation caused by fiber aging, component aging, wavelength adding
or dropping, or external environment cannot be discovered by manual monitoring in a
timely manner. Network-wide data collection and analysis require a long time and high
costs.
– Manual optimization is inefficient.
When optical-layer performance needs to be optimized, fault points and optimization
points have to be manually identified and optimization has to be manually performed
span by span. On a meshed network, optimization of one link may cause power
fluctuation on other links and as a result the other links have to be also optimized. The
optimization is time-consuming and complex.
With the development of WDM technologies and the change of network topology, an
effective network O&M tool is required.

Functions of the OD System

The OD system supports online OSNR monitoring for 40G and 100G wavelengths, making the
OSNR monitoring of 40G and 100G wavelengths as convenient as that of 10G wavelengths.

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 2

This greatly facilitates routine maintenance and makes it easy to upgrade 10G networks to 40G/
100G networks.

Figure 1-1 Online OSNR monitoring using the OD system

The online OSNR monitoring provided by the OD system has the following features:

l Simple operations
The OSNR monitoring function is integrated into the U2000. It can be performed by directly
operating the U2000. The virtual meter provides graphical display of the monitored OSNR
information, without using other auxiliary devices or complex operations.
l High detection precision
The detection precision is better than that of traditional 10G OSNR detection.
l Wide range of monitored wavelengths
Online OSNR monitoring is applicable to 10G, 40G, and 100G wavelengths at any type of
site.

In addition, the OD system can be used to perform O&M of the optical layer on a WDM network,
as described below.

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 3

Figure 1-2 O&M of the optical layer on a WDM network

l Centralized configuration for network-wide monitoring

The OD system supports centralized configuration for optical-layer performance
monitoring parameters, greatly saving labor costs.
l Automatic monitoring of optical-layer performance
The OD system can automatically monitor network-wide optical-layer performance
without using any meters. It can automatically detect the channels with abnormal
performance.
l Automatic optimization of optical-layer performance
Based on the performance data of each channel, the OD system can automatically adjust
the optical power of each channel so that the channel works in the optimal state.
l End-to-end (E2E) graphical display of optical-layer performance data
The OD system graphically displays link performance, facilitating status query and fault
isolation.
To sum up, the OD system can achieve OSNR monitoring of high-rate WDM networks, quick
monitoring deployment, monitoring, optimization, and analysis of E2E optical-layer
performance. It improves wavelength-level optical-layer O&M capabilities and provides
services along the lifecycle of WDM networks, simplifying the network O&M and saving the
operating expense (OPEX).

System Composition
The OD system requires the interoperation between the hardware and software.
The hardware monitors and reports optical-layer performance in real time, performs
corresponding adjustments, and is uniformly scheduled by the software. The software provides
user-friendly GUIs, supports network-wide configuration, provides visualized reports, and
achieves centralized control and uniform scheduling.
l Hardware
The hardware required by the OD system includes the following boards installed on the
NE:
– Spectrum analysis boards and optical amplifier (OA) boards: They are used to obtain
optical-layer performance data, monitor all optical signals in a centralized way without

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 4

interrupting services, and report the monitored optical-layer performance data to the
OD system.
– Electrical variable optical attenuators (EVOAs) and gain-adjustable OA boards: They
are used to adjust optical signal performance parameters.
l Software
The OD system is integrated in the U2000. Users can deliver network-wide performance
monitoring configuration commands using the U2000. After obtaining the optical-layer
performance data reported by each NE, the OD system analyzes the performance data and
graphically displays the analysis result. Based on the configuration policy, the OD system
instructs the EVOAs and OA boards to perform adjustments and optimize optical-layer
performance.
The following figure shows the interoperation between the hardware and software of the OD
system.

4 Principles

About This Chapter

4.1 Online Performance Monitoring

After network-wide monitoring commands are delivered on the U2000 in one-click manner, the
Optical Doctor (OD) system can monitor and report network optical-layer performance in real
time. The OD system can monitor the following performance: main optical path performance,
flatness, and input optical power of the receive-end OTU board. This topic describes the online
performance monitoring principles.

4.2 Online Optical-Layer Performance Optimization

After receiving the error information reported by equipment, the Optical Doctor (OD) system
uniformly processes the error information and starts optimizing abnormal trails. The OD system
can perform the following optical-layer performance optimization: line loss compensation
optimization, optical power optimization, and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) equalization.
This topic describes the optical-layer performance optimization principles.

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 14

4.1 Online Performance Monitoring

Monitoring Main Optical Path Performance

The OD system monitors the main optical path performance in each optical multiplexing section
(OMS). It determines whether the line loss exceeds the design end of life (EOL) value, whether
the optical power of the transmit-end OA board or the line loss compensation is out of the
permitted range, and whether a fiber cut occurs on the main optical path.

The following describes the process of monitoring main optical path performance online:

l Line loss monitoring
The receive-end OA board detects the line loss and reports an alarm when the line loss
exceeds the design EOL value.
l Monitoring of the optical power of the transmit-end OA board
The OD system compares the current input optical power of the transmit-end OA board
in an OMS with the nominal optical power, and reports an alarm if the difference
between the current input optical power and nominal optical power exceeds the
threshold.

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 15

l Line loss compensation monitoring

The receive-end OA board detects the line loss and reports an alarm when the difference
between the line loss and the gain value of the OA board exceeds the threshold.
NOTE

The line loss compensation monitoring checks whether the gain of the downstream OA board
matches the actual line loss.
Line loss compensation abnormalities include compensation abnormalities in an optical
transmission section (OTS) and accumulated compensation abnormalities in an OMS. If the
difference between the OTS line loss and OA gain in an OMS section exceeds the threshold,
alarms are reported on all abnormal OTSs. If no OTS is abnormal in the OMS section, OTS line
loss is calculated and accumulated from the first OTS and an OMS abnormal alarm is reported
on the OTS where the difference between the accumulated OTS loss and OA gain exceeds the
threshold.
l Fiber cut on the main optical path
The OD system checks for the MUT_LOS alarm to determine whether a fiber cut occurs.
3. The monitoring information is reported to the OD system on the U2000.
4. The OD system processes the monitored performance data and displays it on GUIs.

Monitoring Optical Performance Flatness

Optical performance flatness monitoring is performed based on OMS sections. It includes optical
power flatness monitoring and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) flatness monitoring.

The following describes the process of monitoring optical performance flatness:

l Optical power flatness
When the optical power flatness is monitored, the MCA board is used to scan the optical
power of all single wavelengths on the current OMS section, calculate the average

optical power of all OCh wavelengths in the maintenance state, and determine the
difference between the single-wavelength optical power and average optical power. The
OD system considers that the optical power is flat when the difference between the
single-wavelength optical power and average optical power does not exceed the alarm
threshold.
l OSNR flatness
When the OSNR flatness is monitored, the OSNR monitoring method provided by the
OD system is used to check the OSNR deterioration status of all single wavelengths on
the OMS section, calculate the average OSNR deterioration value of all OCh
wavelengths in the maintenance state, and determine the difference between the single-
wavelength OSNR deterioration value and average OSNR deterioration value. The OD
system considers that the OSNR is flat when the difference between the single-
wavelength OSNR deterioration value and average OSNR deterioration value does not
exceed the alarm threshold.
3. The monitoring information is reported to the OD system on the U2000.
4. The OD system processes the monitored performance data and displays it on GUIs.

Monitoring the Input Optical Power of the Receive-End OTU Board

The following describes the process of monitoring the input optical power of the receive-end
OTU board:

1. Using the OD system, a user sends a task of monitoring the input optical power of the
receive-end OTU board.
2. The OD system determines whether the input optical power is out of the permitted range
by checking for the R_LOS, IN_PWR_LOW, or IN_PWR_HIGH alarm on the OTU board.
3. The monitoring information is reported to the OD system on the U2000.
4. The OD system processes the alarm information.

1. Fibers are aging and the line loss is increasing.

2. The downstream power detection unit, that is, the optical amplifier (OA) board, detects that
the difference between the line loss and OA gain exceeds the threshold, and therefore
reports an alarm to the SCC board on the downstream NE.
3. The SCC board on the downstream NE reports a alarm to the SCC board on the source node
in data communication network (DCN) communication mode. After receiving the alarm,
the SCC board on the source node reports the alarm to the OD system.
4. After receiving the alarm, the OD system locates the OCh trail where the alarm occurs and
adds it to the to-be-optimized trail list.
5. Based on the adjustment command delivered by users, the OD system adjusts the line loss
of the OCh trail until the output optical power of the downstream OA board is within the
permitted range.
NOTE

Two adjustment modes are available: manual and automatic.

l Manual optimization mode: In this mode, users have to manually confirm the adjustment
operation after an alarm is detected. The OD system starts adjusting the line loss only after users
confirms the operation.
l Automatic optimization mode: In this mode, the OD system automatically starts adjusting line
loss when detecting an alarm. If the automatic adjustment fails, the equipment checks the
difference between the line loss and OA gain again. If the difference exceeds the threshold, an
alarm is reported again to the OD system. When this occurs, users have to manually enable the
OD system to start an adjustment.

Optical Performance Equalization

The OD system supports two types of optical performance equalization: optical power
equalization and OSNR equalization optimization.

l OSNR equalization
The OD system adjusts the actual optical power of each wavelength based on the OSNR
equalization results to control the average optical power of wavelengths, and implements
OSNR equalization among all wavelengths based on the OSNR deterioration flatness. The
following describes the OSNR equalization optimization process:
1. When the optical power of the transmit-end OA board, the OSNR deterioration
flatness, or the OTU receive optical power is out of the permitted range, an alarm is
reported to the OD system.
2. After detecting the alarm, the OD system locates the OCh trail where the alarm occurs,
adds it to the to-be-optimized trail list, and records the alarm information. Then the
OD system starts link optimization on the OCh trail.
3. The OD system adjusts the optical power of the transmit-end OA board at the transmit
site of the OMS section so that the optical power reaches the nominal value.
4. The OD system adjusts the optical power of the intermediate and receive-end OA
boards and obtains the total optical power based on the calculated single-wavelength
optical power to determine whether the average optical power is the same as the
nominal optical power.
NOTE

The optical power calculation rules used by the OD system are as follows: The OD system
adjusts the actual optical power of each wavelength to change the OSNR deterioration flatness
in the OMS section so that the flatness is within the range of ±0.5 dB.
5. The OD system adjusts the optical power of the receive-end OTU board so that the
optical power is within the permitted range.
l Optical power equalization
The OD system calculates the average optical power based on the optical power of the
transmit-end OA IN port, compares the average optical power with the nominal optical
power, and determines whether the optical power of each wavelength is proper based on

the flatness of the single-wavelength optical power detected by the MCA/OPM board. The
following describes the optical power equalization process:
1. When the optical power of the transmit-end OA board, the optical power flatness, or
the OTU receive optical power is out of the permitted range, an alarm is reported to
the OD system.
2. After detecting the alarm, the OD system locates the OCh trail where the alarm occurs,
adds it to the to-be-optimized trail list, and records the alarm information. Then the
OD system starts link optimization commissioning on the OCh trail.
3. The OD system adjusts the optical power of the transmit-end OA board at the transmit
site of the OMS section so that the optical power reaches the nominal value.
4. The OD system adjusts the optical power of the intermediate and receive-end OA
boards so that the average optical power is the same as the nominal optical power and
is within the permitted flatness range.
5. The OD system adjusts the optical power of the receive-end OTU board so that the

6 Configuring the OD System

About This Chapter

Before using the OD for network O&M, you must configure basic parameters and the OD
monitoring mode.

6.1 Setting Basic Parameters

6.2 Setting the State of OCh Trails

On the U2000, an OCh trail can be in the Unset, Commission, or Maintenance state. The OD
only monitors the trails in the Maintenance state. For trails that are successfully commissioned
during manual deployment or expansion commissioning, manually set the Maintenance
Status of the OCh trails to Maintenance.

6.3 (Optional) Configuring OSNR Detection for Trails

If optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) equalization is used for network deployment, expansion,
and maintenance commissioning, users can configure OSNR detection trail by trail. This section
describes the configuration of the end-to-end OSNR detection on signals at a rate of 10 Gbit/s,
40 Gbit/s, or 100 Gbit/s using the OD route configuration.

6.4 Configuring the OD Monitoring Function

By setting monitoring parameters in a centralized way, you can enable the Optical Doctor (OD)
system to monitor the main optical path, flatness, and OTU input optical power in real time,
report errors, monitor network changes, and apply configuration parameters to new network
nodes.

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 24

6.1 Setting Basic Parameters

6.1.1 Synchronizing Data on the U2000
If the WDM commissioning component is installed or re-deployed, or after NE data is uploaded,
NE data is synchronized with the U2000, or U2000 data is synchronized, you must synchronize
data on the U2000 before commissioning.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Configuration > WDM Optical Management > Parameter Configuration from the
main menu.

Step 2 Click the Synchronize Data on the U2000 tab.

Step 3 Choose the subnet to be synchronized from the Root navigation tree and click Start. A
confirmation dialog box is displayed indicating that the commissioning data will be deleted from
the subnet.
NOTE
For synchronizing optical NE data, if the selected subnet does not contain any optical NEs, a prompt
message will be displayed asking you to select an optical NE.

Step 4 Click Yes. A confirmation dialog box is displayed asking you whether to continue.

Step 5 Click Yes. Data synchronization starts.

NOTE

If data share conflicts during data synchronization on the U2000, maybe another user is deleting, uploading,
copying or checking data consistency on the NE. When this occurs, perform data synchronization again after
another user completes the operations on the NE. During synchronization, do not perform other commissioning
operations on the NE.

Step 6 Click OK in the dialog box that is displayed after the synchronization.

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 25

NOTE

After the synchronization is completed, the refresh icon turns red. Click to refresh the root navigation tree.

6.1.3 Setting Fiber Parameters

Before configuring the centralized monitoring function for the Optical Doctor (OD), you must
set an inter-site fiber type, fiber length, and design end of life (EOL). This topic describes how
to set the fiber parameters in batches.

Prerequisites
l You are an NMS user with "Operator Group" authority or higher.
l The EOL value has been obtained from the network design document.

Tools, Equipment, and Materials

U2000

Configuration Principles
l If the IN port on the receive optical amplifier (OA) board is equipped with a dispersion
compensation unit (DCU) or a dispersion compensation module (DCM), calculate the EOL
value for the fiber between the local NE and upstream NE using the following formula:
EOL = Design fiber loss + Maximum insertion loss of the DCU/DCM. If an OLP board is
installed in front of the receive OA board, the EOL value for the fiber between the local
NE and upstream NE is equal to the fiber loss between the upstream OLP board and the
local OLP board.
l Ensure that the inter-site fiber type and fiber type are the same as those in the practical fiber
configurations.

Procedure
1. Choose Inventory > Fiber/Cable/Microwave Link > Fiber/Cable/Microwave Link
Management from the main menu.
2. In Fiber/Cable/Microwave Link, click Filter. Clear the Include internal fibers check
box, and click Filter in the Set Fiber/Cable Browse Filter Criteria dialog box.
3. Select one or multiple fibers/cables in the list and click Modify Fiber/Cable.
4. In the Modify Fiber/Cable dialog box, set the Length (km), Designed Loss(EOL)(dB),
and Medium Type of the fibers/cables as required, and click Apply.

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 27

NOTE

To perform batch setting, select multiple lines, right-click the parameter column, and choose Modify in
Batchs.
5. Click Apply Parameters to NE in the Result dialog box.

6. In the Please Select Setting Scope dialog box, select the desired parameters and click
OK.

7. Optional: Click NE Operation, and select Query. Click OK in the Please Select Query
Scope dialog box to view whether reference parameters is delivered successfully.

6.1.4 Setting OA Board Parameters

This topic describes how to set OA board parameters. This operation must be completed before
the optical power commissioning of a WDM trail. If any parameter setting is incorrect, the
commissioning result will also be incorrect. In this operation, set System Wavelengths, Rate,
Code Type, and Launch Power, that determines the typical commissioning value of a single
wavelength on an optical amplifier (OA) in the WDM trail.

Prerequisites
l You are an NMS user with "Operator Group" authority or higher.
l You have obtained the subnet parameter settings.

Configuration Guidelines
l System Wavelengths should be set to the actual value, which can be determined based on
the frequency allocation table in the telecommunications design file or the specific product
configuration table. For example:

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 28

– If the WDM subnet is configured with the ITL and M40 or D40 boards, the System
Wavelengths value is 80wave.
– If the WDM subnet is configured with only the M40 or D40 board, the System
Wavelengths value is 40wave.
l For the scenario that signals of different rates traverse the same OA, for example, when 40
Gbit/s and 100 Gbit/s signals are received in a 100G system and the signals traverse the
same OA, set the Rate and Code Type of the OA based on 100 Gbit/s signals.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Configuration > WDM Optical Management > Parameter Configuration from the
main menu.

Step 2 Click the Board Parameter Settings tab. Set filter criteria and click OK.

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 29

Step 3 Based on the network design, set OA board parameters.

1. Set System Wavelengths of each OA board.
2. Set Rate and Code Type, or set Launch Power of the egress OA board at the transmit
end.
NOTE

The values of Source of Launch Power can be Preset and Default.

l When Source of Launch Power is Preset, Launch Power can be set as required.
l When Source of Launch Power is Default, Launch Power is unavailable. Instead, you can calculate
the launch power based on the values of Rate and Code Type. Therefore, ensure that Rate and Code
Type are properly set.
l When the launch power of a wavelength is high, Source of Launch Power must be Preset.
l If the launch power is set on a per-NE basis, Source of Launch Power of the corresponding board
will be automatically changed to Preset.

NOTE

To perform batch setting, select multiple boards, right-click a parameter column and choose the desired value.

Step 4 Click OK.

Step 5 In the Prompt dialog box, click OK.

----End

Follow-up Procedure
To ensure that the optical power is more accurately commissioned, you can set the attributes of
specific OA boards such as the rate, code type, and system wavelengths based on the practical
networking scenario. For details, see 8.3 Setting Optical Amplifier Information.

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 30

6.1.5 Calibrating ASE

Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) must be calibrated for the RAU1/RAU2 board to ensure
that the line loss Compensation optimization function is available and can accurately adjust
amplifier gains on a long span.

Prerequisites
l You are an NMS user with "Operator Group" authority or higher.
l Logical fiber connections between the RAU1/RAU2 and TN14FIU boards have been
established.

Tools, Equipment, and Materials

Precautions

NOTICE
l The LINE port of the Raman board produces extremely high output optical power. During
operations, avoid exposure to laser radiation to prevent bodily injuries, especially to the eyes.
In addition, take measures to prevent the fiber connector that connects to the LINE port from
being burned out due to high power. A burned out fiber connector may cause fire.
l Calibrating ASE causes service interruption. Therefore, it is recommended that ASE be
calibrated at the deployment stage.

6.2 Setting the State of OCh Trails

Background Information
l On the U2000, an OCh trail can be in the Unset, Commission, or Maintenance state.
– The Unset state indicates that an OCh trail is initially created.
– The Commission state indicates that an OCh trail has been created but the optical path
has not been commissioned, and therefore the OCh trail cannot be used to carry services.
– The Maintenance state indicates that the optical path of an OCh trail has been
commissioned and the OCh trail can be used to carry services.
l If the MDS 6630 is used for commissioning, the U2000 automatically sets the OCh trails
whose optical paths have been commissioned to the Maintenance state. To enable the new
OCh trails to be monitored immediately, click Apply Incrementally or Apply in the
Network Parameters Setting window to manually enable the OD function for the OCh
trails. If you do not manually enable the OD function for the OCh trails, the OD will monitor
the new OCh trails only based on the specified automatic network change monitoring
interval.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose Service > WDM Trail > Manage WDM Trail from the Main Menu.

Step 2 In the displayed Set Trail Browse Filter Criteria dialog box, select OCh in the Service

6.3 (Optional) Configuring OSNR Detection for Trails

Prerequisites
l You are an NMS user with "Administrators" authority.
l The logical fiber connection and optical cross-connection must be properly configured.
l The inter-NE OSC communication in the OMS must be normal.
l Only the TN12OPM8, TN11MCA402, and TN11MCA802 boards support OSNR detection
on signals at a rate of 10 Gbit/s, 40 Gbit/s, or 100 Gbit/s.
l In an OMS section, if no OA boards are configured between FIU and ROADM boards or
between FIU and MUX/DEMUX boards, OSNR cannot be detected for the OMS section.
l Except the OA boards in the wavelength dropping direction of local dimension, MCA/OPM
boards must be configured for the first OA board at the transmit end and the last OA board
at receive end of all the OMS sections; otherwise, the OSNR detection is not supported.

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 36

Precautions
l For Raman boards, the OD route configuration does not support the CRPC or ROP board.
However, it supports the RAU board in gain locking mode.
l All the OMS sections on a complete OCh trail must be configured with OD route
configuration function; otherwise, the OSNR detection is not supported.
l When a fiber cut occurs on the downstream links, the OPM or MCA board at the receive
end of an OMS section cannot detect the optical power. In addition, the OPM8/MCA4/
MCA8 board at the transmit end cannot calculate and display OSNR values of all detected
wavelengths.
l If the OPM or MCA board at an ROADM or OTM site is faulty, the OSNR of wavelengths
that traverse this site cannot be detected at the local site or any of the downstream sites.
l The OSNR detection is not supported in the protection scenario of OMS sections.
l If configuring the TN22SCC boards in OptiX OSN 3800 of the OMS sections, the OSNR
detection is not supported in the OMS sections.

Follow-up Procedure
After the OD route configuration function is configured on the OPM8/MCA4/MCA8 board, you
can use the following methods to locate the causes of an abnormal OSNR.
l In the query of the optical spectrum analysis data, only the optical power can be obtained.
For the OSNR, --- is displayed and OSNR calculation is abnormal. The possible causes are
as follows:
– The OMS section is configured incorrectly or offline boards exist in this section. Check
the function configurations of this OMS section on the NMS and the actual networking
configurations.
– The scanned spectrums at the transmit and receive ends of the OPM8/MCA4/MCA8
board are inconsistent. Check the scanned wavelength in the OMS section.
– The inter-NE communication is abnormal. Check whether you can log in to NEs and
whether NEs are reachable.
– The upstream OMS section is abnormal. Check the optical spectrum information of the
OPM8/MCA4/MCA8 board in the upstream OMS section along the signal flow
direction. If the same fault exists, use the same methods to locate the causes.
– If the fiber type of the OMS section is modified, the OSNR detection of the OMS section
must be reconfigured refer to Step 3.
l In the query of wavelength information of a specific wavelength in the optical spectrum
analysis data, no information is reported. The possible causes are as follows:
– The physical fiber connection of the OPM8/MCA4/MCA8 board is incorrect. Check
the physical fiber connection.
– The optical path on the link is abnormal. Check whether the optical path is set up, for
example, whether the optical cross-connection is created, whether the physical fiber
connection is correct, and whether the OA laser is enabled.

6.4 Configuring the OD Monitoring Function

Prerequisites
l You are an NMS user with "Administrators" authority.
l The deployment or expansion commissioning has been completed and the network is in
the maintenance state.
l OD only monitors the OCh trails in the Maintenance state. For details about how to set
the status of an OCh trail, see 6.2 Setting the State of OCh Trails.
l Ensure that the basic parameters have been set. For details, refer to OD System
Configuration and Usage Wizard.

Background Information
l The optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) is calculated by the OD system based on the OA
theories and the receive-end and transmit-end optical power reported by the MCA boards

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 39

in the optical transmission system. This OSNR calculation method can replace the OSNR
measurement method using a meter and does not affect services on the live network. In
addition, the OSNR obtained using this calculation method is precise and is independent
of the signal rate, modulation format, and channel spacing. It can reflect the optical quality
of the signals and provides references for checking the system communications quality.
l When a network is managed by multiple U2000s, the OD function can be enabled on at
most one U2000; otherwise, an optimization commissioning conflict will occur.
l On all subnets of the entire network, only one configuration policy is supported.
l Assume that subnet A is composed of subnet A1 and A2. If both subnet A1 and A2 are on
an OMS, for ensuring the integrity of the saved historical data and generated report, and
entirely monitoring of the OMS, you must select subnet A when setting the OD monitoring
configuration. That is, subnet A1 and A2 must be concurrently selected.
l The real time data of the network is backed up using the function of manual and automatic
backup of the OD system. The backup and commissioning can be concurrently performed.
l The OD-provided power maintenance function delivers better usability and more functions,
compared with the automatic level control (ALC) function. Before enabling the OD
function, you are advised to disable the ALC function on a subnet to avoid adjustment
conflicts. For the deletion method, see 8.4 Deleting an ALC Link.
l The OD-provided power maintenance function delivers better usability and more functions,
compared with the automatic power equilibrium (APE) function. Before enabling the OD
function, you are advised to disable the APE function on a subnet.
l Because the OD periodically and automatically monitors network changes, when the
network topology changes, you can manually click Apply Incrementally to apply the
configured parameters.
l After the NE version is upgraded to V100R008C00 or later, you must click Apply in the
Network-Wide Parameters window to deliver the configuration of the OD monitoring
function again.

7.4 Link Optimization Commissioning

7.4.1 Link Optimization Commissioning (OSNR Equalization)

This topic describes how to optimize transmit optical power for the existing multiplexed
wavelengths. Optimization is necessary for networks that have been in service for extended
periods of time if the optical power of the existing multiplexed wavelengths significantly
deviates from the nominal values due to aging fibers, malfunctioning boards, or human errors.
The deviation causes the optical power of single wavelengths to deviate, which in turn hinders
expansion commissioning.When the subnet commissioning mode is OSNR equilibrium, OSNR
equilibrium commissioning can be performed on the selected trails.

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 65

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
Optical Doctor System Feature Description 7 Using the OD System for Network O&M

l Existing wavelengths on the to-be-optimized trail scanned by the MCA board have a larger
quantity than new wavelengths.
l There are MCA boards in each OMS section of the to-be-optimized trail. Otherwise, the
OMS sections without MCA boards and their upstream OMS sections cannot be optimized.
l OSNR detection has been configured. For the configuration method, see Configuring
OSNR Detection or 6.4 Configuring the OD Monitoring Function.
l The network meets the OSNR equilibrium commissioning requirement. See Networking
Scenarios.
l Subnet parameters have been configured. The commissioning mode is OSNR
Equilibrium.

Precaution
l When a fiber cut occurs on the downstream links, the OPM or MCA board at the receive
end of an OMS section cannot detect the optical power. In addition, the OPM8/MCA4/
MCA8 board at the transmit end cannot calculate and display OSNR values of all detected
wavelengths.
l If the OPM or MCA board at an ROADM or OTM site is faulty, the OSNR of wavelengths
that traverse this site cannot be detected at the local site or any of the downstream sites.
l In an OMS section, if no OA boards are configured between FIU and ROADM boards or
between FIU and MUX/DEMUX boards, OSNR cannot be detected for the OMS section.
l The line-side fiber type and fiber length configured on the FIU/DAS1 or RAU board at the
receive end must be consistent with those of the actual fiber configuration. The
configuration must be performed primarily on the RAU board and then on the FIU/DAS1
board if no RAU board is configured at the receive end.

Context
Because the automatic level control (ALC) or automatic power equilibrium (APE) function for
the system may start during the commissioning, pay attention to the following points:
l For NG WDM equipment of versions earlier than V100R005, you should stop the APE
function of the NEs, and stop the ALC function of the NEs or set the Automatic Regulation
Switch of the ALC function is Disabled, and that the OPA function is not in the Auto state
before commissioning.
l For NG WDM equipment of V100R005 and V100R006, the U2000 automatically stops
the ALC and APE functions of the NEs before commissioning and enables the ALC and
APE functions after the commissioning is complete. You are advised to stop the ALC, and
APE functions or set Automatic Regulation Switch of the ALC function to Disabled if
you have to keep these functions enabled before commissioning.
l For NG WDM equipment of V100R007, the U2000 supports configuring ALC links on
OMS trails, then the U2000 automatically disables the ALC link and stops the APE
functions of the NEs before commissioning and enables the ALC and APE functions after
the commissioning is complete. You are advised to set Automatic Regulation Switch of
the ALC links to Disabled and stop the APE functions or if you have to keep these functions
enabled before commissioning.
l For NG WDM equipment of V100R008 or later versions, the OD function can better
monitor and adjust the multiplexed-wavelength optical power and flatness than the ALC

Optical Doctor System Feature Description 7 Using the OD System for Network O&M

and APE functions. Before enabling the OD function for a subnet where the ALC and APE
functions have been enabled, you are advised to disable the ALC and APE functions.

NOTICE
l Link optimization commissioning affects optical power of existing wavelengths. Apply for
a maintenance window (a specified time period) for commissioning to minimize the impact
on services.
l After link optimization commissioning is complete, filter alarms by time in the alarm viewing
window to check whether alarms are generated after the start time of the commissioning task.
If yes, clear these alarms.

During the view of the commissioning report, if the transmit optical power of a trail significantly
deviates from the nominal value, perform link optimization commissioning to adjust the transmit
optical power of existing wavelengths to restore IN port optical power for the optical amplifier
(OA) boards to the nominal value. After optimization is complete, generate reports to verify
results of the optimization. Link optimization commissioning can be performed before or after
expansion commissioning. Performing link optimization commissioning before expansion
commissioning is recommended.

During the commissioning, the client may be disconnected from the server due to unexpected
interruptions in communication, in which case the server will continue the commissioning. When

the client is reconnected to the server, click to view the operation tasks. For details, see
Viewing Operation Tasks. Perform the commissioning again after the trails are completely
commissioned if you want to ensure that the operation is successful.

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 67

Optical Doctor System Feature Description 7 Using the OD System for Network O&M

NOTE

l Link optimization is based on OCh trails. Trails are optimized one by one. If two trails traverse the
same OA board, the optical power of the OA board is commissioned again when the second trail is
optimized. However, the board data of the first trail is not updated after the optimization of the second
trail is complete.
l The major purpose of link optimization is to adjust the optical power of multiplexed wavelengths to
the nominal value range with the best effort and ensure the flatness of the optical power is within the
specified range while ensuring that BER of OTU boards at the receive end and IN port optical power
are within an acceptable range. This means that BER or OSNR may become acceptably worse after
the optimization.
l If optimization stops due to NE communication issues, restart link optimization after you resolve these
problems.
l If link optimization cannot determine whether a wavelength has been commissioned (BER can be
scanned but is bad), a dialog box will be displayed asking you whether to continue. If you continue
with the commissioning, the wavelength will be processed as a wavelength that has not been
commissioned. The system does not monitor BER for OTU boards relevant to the wavelength and IN
port optical power during optimization. If the wavelength has been commissioned, cancel the
commissioning, manually optimize it, and restart link optimization.
l Link optimization only processes the transmit optical power that significantly deviates from the nominal
value of an OMS section. Due to physical features of OA boards, noise power increases on each OA
along the OMS section. The increase causes the optical power of subsequent OA boards within the
OMS section to deviate from the nominal value even when the transmit optical power reaches the
nominal value. However, link optimization only deals with the transmit optical power at the start point
of an OMS section and does not deal with this problem. Optimization starts again in the next OMS
section when transmit optical power of the OA is detected to be at levels that significantly deviate from
the nominal value.
l During link optimization, OMS sections are optimized from source to sink of a trail. Services in a mesh
network are closely coupled and the adjustment margin for each OMS section is limited. Therefore,
margin may be unavailable for an OMS section until the next OMS section has been optimized. You
need to optimize the trail multiple times for optical power to reach the nominal value.

Procedure
Step 1 Enter OSNR Equalization-based Commissioning (Link Optimization).
l Method 1: Choose Configuration > WDM Optical Management > Online Optimization
Management from the main menu. In the dialog box that is displayed, set filter criteria.
Then, select the desired trails and click Optimize in the window.

The system checks BER of wavelengths for the trail to be commissioned and displays the
wavelengths with BER beyond the acceptable range in red.
l If existing wavelengths are marked in red, optimize wavelengths manually to lower the BER

This topic describes how to optimize transmit optical power for the existing multiplexed
wavelengths. Optimization is necessary for networks that have been in service for extended
periods of time if the optical power of the existing multiplexed wavelengths significantly
deviates from the nominal values due to aging fibers, malfunctioning boards, or human errors.
The deviation causes the optical power of single wavelengths to deviate, which in turn hinders
expansion commissioning.When the subnet commissioning mode is power equilibrium, power
equilibrium commissioning can be performed on selected trails.

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 73

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
Optical Doctor System Feature Description 7 Using the OD System for Network O&M

Prerequisites
l Physical and logical fiber connections for to-be-optimized trails must be correct and
consistent.
l BER for OTU boards in the subnet can be queried.
l The BEFFEC_EXC alarm does not exist in the OMS sections of to-be-optimized trail.
l The trails to be commissioned are complete.
l Input multiplexed-wavelength optical power of the transmit OA in the OMS sections of to-
be-optimized trail deviates from the nominal value by more than 1.5 dB.
l Input single-wavelength optical power of the OA in the OMS sections of to-be-optimized
trail deviates from the average value by more than +/- 3 dB.
l Input optical power of the receive OTU boards is lower than the upper threshold by at least
1 dB in wavelengths of the to-be-optimized trail and its directly associated trails.
l Existing wavelengths on the to-be-optimized trail scanned by the MCA board have a larger
quantity than new wavelengths.
l There are MCA boards in each OMS section of the to-be-optimized trail. Otherwise, the
OMS sections without MCA boards and their upstream OMS sections cannot be optimized.
l Subnet parameters have been configured. The commissioning mode is Power
Equilibrium.

Precautions
Because the automatic level control (ALC) or automatic power equilibrium (APE) function for
the system may start during the commissioning, pay attention to the following points:
l For NG WDM equipment of versions earlier than V100R005, you should stop the APE
function of the NEs, and stop the ALC function of the NEs or set the Automatic Regulation
Switch of the ALC function is Disabled, and that the OPA function is not in the Auto state
before commissioning.
l For NG WDM equipment of V100R005 and V100R006, the U2000 automatically stops
the ALC and APE functions of the NEs before commissioning and enables the ALC and
APE functions after the commissioning is complete. You are advised to stop the ALC, and
APE functions or set Automatic Regulation Switch of the ALC function to Disabled if
you have to keep these functions enabled before commissioning.
l For NG WDM equipment of V100R007, the U2000 supports configuring ALC links on
OMS trails, then the U2000 automatically disables the ALC link and stops the APE
functions of the NEs before commissioning and enables the ALC and APE functions after
the commissioning is complete. You are advised to set Automatic Regulation Switch of
the ALC links to Disabled and stop the APE functions or if you have to keep these functions
enabled before commissioning.
l For NG WDM equipment of V100R008 or later versions, the OD function can better
monitor and adjust the multiplexed-wavelength optical power and flatness than the ALC
and APE functions. Before enabling the OD function for a subnet where the ALC and APE
functions have been enabled, you are advised to disable the ALC and APE functions.

Possible Causes
The possible causes of the IN_PWR_LOW alarm are as follows:

l Cause 1 (reported from the WDM side): The fiber connector is dirty, and the fiber jumper
is over-bent, damaged or aged.
l Cause 2 (reported from the WDM side): The attenuation of the attenuator attached to the
optical port on the board that reports this alarm is excessively high.
l Cause 3 (reported from the WDM side): The attenuation attached to the transmit optical
port on the board at the opposite station is excessively high, or the transmit optical module
is faulty.
l Cause 4 (reported from the WDM side): The attenuation in the transmission of the optical
signals is excessively high and the compensation is insufficient.
l Cause 5 (reported from the WDM side): The board that reports this alarm is faulty.

Procedure
l Use the link optimization commissioning function of the OD to handle the alarm. If the
alarm persists, perform the following steps to manually clear the alarm:
l Cause 1 (reported from the WDM side): The fiber connector is dirty, and the fiber jumper
is over-bent, damaged or aged.
1. Use an optical power meter to measure the input optical power of the local board to
determine whether the input optical power is within the permitted range.
2. If the detected power is excessively low, check the fiber connection. If the fiber
connector is dirty, clean or replace the fiber connector.
3. If the alarm persists, check the fiber jumper. If the fiber jumper is over-bent, damaged
or aged, adjust the fiber jumper or replacing fiber jumpers.
4. Check whether the alarm is cleared. If the alarm persists, see the alarm handling
procedure for cause 2 (reported from the WDM side).

Issue 02 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 106

l Cause 2 (reported from the WDM side): The attenuation of the attenuator attached to the
optical port on the board that reports the alarm is excessively high.
1. Check whether the attenuation of the attenuator attached to the receive optical port is
excessively high. If the attenuation is excessively high, decrease the attenuation value
of the attenuator to a proper value or replace the attenuator with a suitable attenuator.
2. Check whether the alarm is cleared. If the alarm persists, see the alarm handling
procedure for cause 3 (reported from the WDM side).
l Cause 3 (reported from the WDM side): The attenuation attached to the transmit optical
port on the board at the opposite station is excessively high, or the transmit optical module
is faulty.
1. Check the board at the opposite station. If the laser on the board is turned off, turn on
it on the U2000.
2. Check whether the alarm is cleared. If the alarm persists, check whether an optical
attenuator with excessively high attenuation is attached to the transmit optical port on
the board at the opposite station. If it is, decrease the attenuation to a proper value or
replace the optical attenuator so that the output optical power of the opposite board is
normal.
3. Check whether the alarm is cleared. If the alarm persists, check the output optical
power performance values and alarms of the board. If the reported alarms or
performance values are different from the specification values, see the corresponding
handling procedure for the alarms or performance events to rectify the fault.
4. Check whether the alarm is cleared. If the alarm persists, see the alarm handling
procedure for cause 4 (reported from the WDM side).
l Cause 4 (reported from the WDM side): The attenuation in the transmission of the optical
signals is excessively high and the compensation is insufficient.
1. Query the input and output optical power of the boards in the upstream direction of
the OTU at the local station along the reverse signal flow on the U2000. Locate the
board with the excessively low optical power and adjust the input optical power of
the board to a proper value.
2. Check the input and output optical power of the upstream stations one by one along
the reverse signal flow on the U2000 and locate the faulty section where the optical
power is excessively low.
3. If the output optical power of the upstream station is normal, check the cables, fiber
jumpers, fiber connectors, and attenuators. If the attenuation of the cables is higher
than the attenuation in the engineering design, adjust the attenuator, or rectify or
change the cables. If the fiber jumper, fiber connector or the attenuator is dirty, clean
or replace the fiber jumper, fiber connector or attenuator.
4. If the output optical power of the upstream station is abnormal, troubleshoot the faults
at the upstream station so that the output optical power is normal.
5. Check whether the alarm is cleared. If the alarm persists, see the alarm handling
procedure for cause 5 (reported from the WDM side).
l Cause 5 (reported from the WDM side): The board that reports the alarm is faulty.
1. If the alarm persists, the board that reports the alarm may be faulty. Replace the board.
