Perform this task to configure basic attributes for the local and remote NEs of a single-hop microwave link. RTN 900 series NEs are used as an example.
Prerequisites
The IF boards and the ODUs to which the IF boards are connected have been added in NE Panel.
The microwave link must be created.
Unlike other operations in the NE Explorer, the HOP management involves multiple NEs. Hence, it requires that you have logged in to NEs at both ends of links.
Context
In the Main Topology, you can right-click a microwave link and choose HOP Management from the shortcut menu, then configure the parameters of the microwave link select in the function tree.
NOTE: The settings of some key parameters are associated between the two NEs to avoid disconnection of microwave links caused by inconsistent parameter settings between them.
Procedure
- Select the NE in the NE Explorer. Click the Radio Link Configuration tab.
- Select an IF board from the drop-down list. The basic information of the radio link connected to the IF board is displayed.
NOTE:
Click Open the Opposite NE Explorer to enter the NE Explorer of the peer NE.
NOTE: - If the radio link is in a 1+1 or XPIC group, select any IF board connected to the radio link.
- If the radio link is not working correctly, the basic information of the peer NE is not displayed.
- Configure the basic attributes for the local NE and the peer NE as required.
- Set Protection to 1+1 or 1+0 based on the actual data plan.
- Set XPIC based on 3.a configuration results.
- Configure basic attributes of the microwave link.
- Configure IF attributes for the local and remote NEs of the microwave link.
- Configure RF attributes for the local and remote NEs of the microwave link.
- Click Apply.
