OptiX RTN 910




1-5


24/157

Forbidden Area

The following requirements should be met:

l The site of the antenna should be far away from the area where the electromagnetic radiation

is beyond the specified range and the public cannot reach.

l Before entering the area where the electromagnetic radiation is beyond the specified range,

the operator should learn about the area and shut down the electromagnetic radiator. The

area where the electromagnetic radiation is beyond the specified range, if any, should be

within 10 meters away from the antenna.

l A physical barrier and an eye-catching warning flag should be available in each forbidden

area.

Laser

CAUTION

When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet directly

with unaided eyes.

Laser transceivers are used in the optical transmission system and associated test tools. Because

the laser transmitted through the bare optical fiber produces a small beam of light, it has the very

high power density and is invisible to human eyes. When a beam of light enters the eyes, the

retina may be damaged.

In normal cases, viewing an un-terminated fiber or a damaged fiber with the unaided eye at

distances greater than 150 mm does not cause eye injury. Eye injury may occur, however, if an

optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to view the bare fiber

end.

To avoid laser radiation, read the following guidelines:

l All the operations should be performed by authorized personnel who have completed the

approved training courses.

l Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or fibers.

l Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber connectors.

l Do not look into the end of an exposed fiber or an open connector when you are not sure

whether the optical source is switched off.

l Use an optical power meter to check and ensure that the optical source is switched off by

measuring the optical power.

l Before opening the front door of an optical transmission equipment, ensure that you are

not exposed to laser radiation.

l Do not use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass, or an eye loupe to

view the optical connector or fiber that is transmitting optical signals.

Read the following instructions before handling fibers:

l Cutting and splicing fibers must be performed by the trained personnel only.


OptiX RTN 910

Commissioning Guide



Issue 02 (2009-10-30)


25/157

l Before cutting or splicing a fiber, ensure that the fiber is disconnected from the optical

source. After disconnecting the fiber, connect the cover caps to the fiber connectors.

1.5 Working at Heights

CAUTION

When working at heights, be cautious to prevent objects from falling down.

The requirements for working at heights are as follows:

l The personnel who work at heights must be trained.

l The operating machines and tools should be carried and handled safely to prevent them

from falling down.

l Safety measures, such as wearing a helmet and a safety belt, should be taken.

l Wear cold-proof clothes when working at heights in cold areas.

l Check all lifting appliances thoroughly before starting the work, and ensure that they are

intact.

Weight Lifting

CAUTION

Do not enter the areas under the jib arm and the goods in suspension when lifting weight.

l Ensure that the operators have completed the related training and have been certified.

l Check the weight lifting tools and ensure that they are intact.

l Lift the weight only when the weight lifting tools are firmly fixed onto the weight-bearing

object or the wall.

l Use a concise command to prevent any incorrect operation.

l Ensure that the angle between the two cables is less than or equal to 90 degrees during the

lifting, as shown in Figure 1-2.

CAUTION

l When handling heavy objects, ensure that the weight bearing measures are taken to prevent

you from being pressed or sprained.l When taking the chassis out from the cabinet, draw attention to the equipment that is unstable

or heavy on the cabinet, to prevent any pressing or smashing injury.

l When handling a chassis, generally, two persons rather than one person are required to

handle a heavy chassis. When handling a chassis, keep your back straight and move gently

to prevent you from being sprained.

l When moving or lifting a chassis, hold the handle or bottom of the chassis rather than the

handle of a module (such as a power supply module, a fan module, or a board) that has

been installed inside the chassis.

1.7 Other Precautions

Removing and Inserting Boards

CAUTION

When inserting a board, wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves, and handle the board gently to

avoid bending pins on the backplane.

l Insert the board along the guiding slot.

l The contact of board circuits is not allowed to avoid short circuits or scratches.

l Do not touch the circuit, components, connectors, or routing channels of the board to

prevent damage caused by electrostatic discharge of the human body to the electrostatic-

sensitive components.

Binding Signal Cables

CAUTION

Bind the signal cables separately from the high-current or high-voltage cables.

Routing Cables

In the case of extremely low temperature, heavy shock or vibration may damage the external

plastic coatings of the cables. The following requirements should be observed to ensure safe

implementation:

l All the cables can be routed only when the ambient temperature is higher than zero degrees.

OptiX RTN 910

Hop Commissioning

When the scale of the radio transmission networkis limited (to only one or two hops), the hop

commissioning method applies. Hop commissioning combines site commissioning and system

commissioning. The major commissioning steps are as follows:

1. Power on the equipment on both ends of the radio link and use the U2000 LCT to configure

all the data for the site.

2. Align the antennas on both ends of the radio link.

3. Check and ensure that the status of the radio link is normal.

4. Use the U2000 LCT to commission certain items according to the services transmitted over

the radio link.

Network Commissioning

When the scale of the radio transmission network is large, the network commissioning methodapplies. The major commissioning steps are as follows:


OptiX RTN 910

4.2.2 Creating NEs by Using the Search Method

To manage an NE, you must create an NE on the LCT. This topic describes how to create an

NE by searching NEs on the LCT.

Prerequisite

l The NE must be connected to a computer where the LCT is installed.

l The communication between the LCT and the NE must be normal.

Context

In addition to searching NEs, you can also create an NE by adding an NE manually. When an

NE is configured initially, you may fail to know the NE ID. In this situation, you can create an

NE by searching NEs on the LCT.
