3 SAFETY NORMS AND LABELS

3.1 First aid for electric shock

Do not touch the patient with bare hands until the circuit has been opened.

Open the circuit by switching off the line switches. If that is not possible, protect yourself with drymaterial and

free the patient from the conductor.

ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION

It is important to start mouth to mouth resuscitation at once and seek medical help immediately.

TREATMENT OF BURNS

This treatment should be used after the patient has regained consciousness. It can also be employed while the

artificial respiration is being applied (in this case there should be at least two persons present).

WARNING:

• Do not attempt to remove his clothing from the burnt parts;

• Apply dry gauze on the burns;

• Do not apply ointments or other oily substances.

Lay the patient supine with his arms parallel with the body, if the patient is laying on an in-

clined plane, make sure that his stomach is slightly lower than his chest. Open the patient’s

mouth and check that there are no extraneous bodies in hismouth (dentures, chewing--gum

etc.),

Kneel beside the patient level with his head. Put a

hand under the patient’s head and one under his neck

(see fig.) Lift the patient’s head and let it recline

backwards as far as possible

Shift the hand from the patient’s neck to is chin: place

your thumb between his chin and hismouth, the index

along his jawbone, and keep the other fingers closed

together (see fig.).While performing these operations

take a good supply of oxygen by taking deep breaths

with your mouth open.

With your thumb between the patient’s chin and

mouth keep his lips together and blow into his nasal

cavities (see fig.)

While performing these operations observe if the

patient’s chest rises (see fig.) If not it is possible that

his nose is blocked: in that case open the patient’s

mouth as much as possible by pressing on his chin

with your hand, place your lips around his mouth and

blow into his oral cavity.Observe if the patient’s chest

heaves. This secondmethod can beused instead of the

first even when the patient’s nose is kept closed by

pressing the nostrils together using the hand youwere

holding his head with. The patient’s head must be

kept sloping backwards as much as possible.

Start with ten rapid expirations, hence continue at a rate of twelve/fifteen expirations per

minute. Go on like this until the patient has regained consciousness, or until a doctor has

ascertained his death.

5 GENERAL ON ALCATEL CUSTOMER DOCUMENTATION

5.1 Products, product-releases, versions and Customer Documentation

A”product” is definedby thenetworkhierarchical levelwhere it canbe insertedandby thewhole of performance

and services for which it is meant.

A ”product” evolves through successive ”product-releases” which are the real products marketed for their

delivery at a certain ”product-release” availability date.

So, a ”product--release” defines a set of hardware components and a software package which, as a whole,

identify the possible network applications and the equipment performance which the specific ”product-release”

has been designed, engineered and marketed for.

In some cases a ”product-release” has further development steps, named ”versions”, that are born to improve

or add some performance (mainly software) with respect to the previous version, or for bug fixing purposes.

A ”product-release” has its own standard Customer Documentation, composed by one or more handbooks.

A new ”version” of a ”product-release” may or may not produce a change in the status of the Customer

Documentation set, as described in para.5.4 on page 21.

5.2 Handbook supply to Customers

Handbooks are not automatically delivered together with the equipment they refer to.

The number of handbooks per type to be supplied must be decided at contract level.

5.3 Aims of standard Customer Documentation

Standard Customer Documentation, referred to hereafter, must be always meant as plant-independent.

Plant-dependent documentation, if envisaged by the contract, is subjected to commercial criteria as far as

contents, formats and supply conditions are concerned (plant-dependent documentation is not described here).

Standard hardware and software documentation ismeant to give the Customer personnel the possibility and the

information necessary for installing, commissioning, operating and maintaining the equipment according to

Alcatel--Telecom Laboratory design choices.

In particular the contents of the handbooks associated to the software applications focus on the explanation of

the man--machine interface and of the operating procedures allowed by it.

Consequently, no supply to the Customers of design documentation (like software source programs,

programming tools, etc.) is envisaged.

�2005ALCATEL





5.4 Handbook Updating

The handbooks associated to the ”product--release” are listed in chapter 2 on page 10.

Each handbook is identified by:

-- the name of the ”product-release” (and ”version” when the handbook is applicable to the versions starting

from it, but not to the previous ones),

-- the handbook name,

-- the handbook P/N,

-- the handbook edition (usually first edition=01),

-- the handbook issue date. The date on the handbook does not refer to the date of print but to the date on

which the handbook source file has been completed and released for the production.

5.4.1 Changes introduced in the same product-release (same handbook P/N)

The edition and date of issue might change on future handbook versions for the following reasons:

-- only the date changes (pointed out in the Table of Contents) when modifications are made to the editorial

system not changing the technical contents of the handbook.

-- the edition, hence the date, is changed because modifications made concern technical contents. In this

case:

• the table in chapter 1.4 indicates the section(s) edition change;

• in each section, the main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed;

• in affected chapters of each section, revision bars on the left of the page indicate modifications in text

and drawings (this is done after the first officially released and validated version).

Changes concerning the technical contents of the handbook cause the edition number increase (e.g. fromEd.01

to Ed.02). Slight changes (e.g. for corrections) or draft versions maintain the same edition but with the addition

of a version character (e.g. from Ed.02 to Ed.02A).

NOTES FOR HANDBOOKS RELEVANT TO SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS

Handbooks relevant to software applications (typically the Operator’s Handbooks) are not modified

unless the new software ”version” distributed to Customers implies man--machine interface changes

or in case of slight modifications not affecting the understanding of the explained procedures.

Moreover, should the screen prints included in the handbook contain the product-release’s ”version”

marking, they are not replaced in the handbooks related to a subsequent version, if the screen

contents are unchanged.

5.4.2 Supplying updated handbooks to Customers

Supplying updated handbooks to Customers who have already received previous issues is submitted to

commercial criteria.

By updated handbook delivery it is meant the supply of a complete copy of the handbook new issue (supplying

errata--corrige sheets is not envisaged).

5.4.3 Changes due to a new product-release

A new product-release changes the handbook P/N and the edition starts from 01. In this case the modified parts

of the handbook are not listed.

�2005ALCATEL





5.5 Customer documentation supply on CD--ROM

In the following ’CD--ROM’ means ’Customer Documentation on CD--ROM’

5.5.1 Contents, creation and production of a CD--ROM

In most cases, a CD--ROM contains the documentation of one product--release(--version) and for a certainlanguage.In someother cases, the sameCD--ROMcancontain thedocumentationof different product--release (--version)s

for a certain language.

As a general rule:

-- CD--ROMs for Network Management products do not contain:

• the Installation Guides

• the documentationof systemoptional features thatCustomers could not buy fromAlcatel togetherwith

the main applicative SW.

-- CD--ROMs for Network Elements products do not contain:

• the documentation of system optional features (e.g. System Installation Handbooks related to racks

that Customers could not buy from Alcatel together with the main equipment).

A CD--ROM is obtained collecting various handbooks and documents in .pdf format. Bookmarks and hyperlinks

make the navigation easier.

The files processed in this way are added to files/images for managing purpose and a master CD--ROM is

recorded.

Suitable checks are made in order to have a virus--free product.

After a complete functional check, the CD--ROM image is electronically transferred to the archive of the

Production Department, so that the CD--ROM can be produced and delivered to Customers.

�2005ALCATEL





5.5.2 Use of the CD--ROM

The CD--ROM can be used both in PC and Unix WS environments.

The CD--ROM starts automatically with autorun and hyperlinks from the opened “Index” document permit tovisualize the .pdf handbooks.Other hyperlinks permit to get, from the Technical handbooks, the specific .pdf setting documents.

In order to open the .pdf documents Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 4.0 (minimum) must have been installed on

the platform.The CD--ROM doesn’t contain the Adobe Acrobat Reader program. The Customer is in charge of getting andinstalling it.ReadMe info is present on the CD--ROM to this purpose.

Then the Customer is allowed to read the handbooks on the PC/WS screen, using the navigation and zoomingtools included in the tool, and to print selected parts of the documentation through a local printer.

5.5.3 CD--ROM identification

Each CD--ROM is identified:

1 ) by the following external identifiers, that are printed both on the booklet and the CD--ROM upper

surface:

-- the name of the ”product--release(s)” (and ”version” when the CD--ROM is applicable to the

versions starting from it, but not to the previous ones),

-- a writing indicating the language(s),

-- the CD--ROM P/N (Factory P/N 417.xxx.xxx x and ANV P/N),

-- the CD--ROM edition (usually first edition=01)

2 ) and, internally, by the list of the source handbooks and documents (P/Ns and editions) by whose

collection and processing the CD--ROM itself has been created.

5.5.4 CD--ROM updating

The list of source handbook/document P/Ns--editions indicated in previous para. 5.5.3 point 2 ) , in associationwith the CD--ROM own P/N--edition, is also loaded in the Alcatel--Information--System as a structured list.Whenever a new edition of any of such handbooks/documents is released in the Alcatel archive system, a check

in the Alcatel--Information--System is made to identify the list of CD--ROMs that must be updated to include the

new editions of these handbooks/documents.

This causes the planning and creation of a new edition of the CD--ROM.

Updating of CD--ROMs always follows, with a certain delay, the updating of the single handbooks composing the

collection.

MANAGEMENT DESCRIPTION


Please refer to the Help--On--Line documentation for this part.


MAINTENANCE


1 CRAFT TERMINAL MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE

The maintenance procedures consist of the following steps:

-- Maintenance of the PC

-- Shut--down and restart of the PC

-- Preventive Maintenance

-- Corrective Maintenance

-- Unit replacement with a spare

FIXING THE UNITS (AND MODULES) INTO THE SUBRACK

(caution to avoid equipment damage)

The screw tightening torque for fixing the units (and modules, if any and if fixed by screws) into the

subrack must be:

2.8 kg x cm (0.28 Newton x m)� 10 %

Exceeding this value may result in screw breaking.

1.1 Maintenance of the PC

With regard to maintenance PC, refer to the constructor’s documentation.

1.2 Software shut--down and PC restart

This procedure describes the Shut--down and restart the PC when the operator is not able to use the SWP --

ECT 1696MSPAN applicative system; i.e. if the craft terminal does not work properly or if it is not responding

to the commands of the operator. The procedure is presented forWindows NT.

In order to shut--down the PC, execute the command:

Start Shut down

A window (Windows NT Security user dialog) is displayed. It permits to shut down the computer or restart it.

The same window is displayed pressing the keys <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Del> simultaneously.

Craft Terminal Restart

For the restart operation refer to 1320CT Technical manual.

1.3 Craft Terminal Master Setup Installation restriction

When running an InstallShield Professional 6.x setup on a Windows XP machine with Service Pack 1 and

Windows XP Hotfix Q328310 applied, the following error occurs: The instruction at ”0x771c741a” referenced

memory at ”0x00163b60”. The memory could not be ”read”. Click on OK to terminate the program.

To correctly install the CT product the only thing to do is de--install the hotfix. Contact your PC administrator.

�2005ALCATEL





1.4 Recommendation at Creation / Deletion of an equipment

Creation and Deletion of a Shelf, a board, a sub--board,... are not “atomic” operations, therefore it is strongly

recommended not to quit Craft Terminal software before the operation is completed.

1.5 Help On Line (HOL) addendum

Two MCC3 (configured “like MCC2”) are in protection.

Both are in “Normal I” state.

Remove SFP of the protected one, the board switches, but then, the protection status is “Normal P” instead of

“Auto P”.

2 TROUBLESHOOTING

Purpose of the procedure

Troubleshooting involves the detection, location and correction of failures in the equipment and replacing the

parts that are defective.

Troubleshooting organization

The troubleshooting procedure is carried out with the help of some flow--charts and tables, reported hereinafter.

Anyway this method does not deal with the following aspects (which are to be deducted by other ways):

-- faulty electronic alarm indication, processing and detection circuits

-- faulty wiring (back--panel, connectors, etc.)

The Maintenance organization can have different structures.

The following topologies are considered:

• with a station supervisory center

• on site

• with a Remote Craft Terminal management center

• with a TMN network management center

In the station supervisory center the maintenance technician refers to the remote alarms received from the

equipment in a centralized office of the station i.e. :

• URG, NURG, IND: remote alarms relative to the type of alarm (urgent, not urgent, indicative)

• Outgoing parallel interface: Housekeeping commands configured by the customer.

Besides detecting the equipment in alarm, depending on the organization of supervision structure, it is also

possible to detect the type of failure and the relative source.

• Q3 interface for Telecommunication Management Network

With a TMN network management center the maintenance technician must refer to the alarms sent towards

the TMN’s Operations System (see the relevant TMN handbooks).

After having detected the alarmed equipment, the condition is ”attended” by pressing push--button ( )

on the ESC unit.

This condition causes:

-- On the Top Rack Unit

• the YELLOW ”ATTD” LED to light up

• the RED ”URG” or NURG” LED to go off

-- On the Equipment Controller (EC) front coverplate:

• yellow LED (ATTD) to light up

• red LEDs (NURG) and (URG) to light off (available for other alarms)

�2005ALCATEL





Local Maintenance (station supervisory center and ”on site” topologies)

It is essential to observe the condition of the LEDs on the unit front coverplate, and to use theCraft Terminal (PC).

The Equipment Controller (ESC) unit is provided with LEDs which indicate:

Table 6. Equipment Controller front panel LEDs signification

Name Led color Meaning

URG Red Urgent Alarm (major or critical)

NURG Red Non Urgent Alarm (minor)

ATTD Yellow Attended alarm (acknowledged URG or NURG alarm)

ABN Yellow Abnormal condition

IND Yellow Indicative alarm (warning)

Center Operation System in the Telecommunication Management Network

All the equipment connected to theTMNare controlled by theOperationSystem.Detailed alarm information data

obtained (as locally through the PC) tracing the cause of alarm and deciding on the type of maintenance

operations to carry out.

Screens windows displayed with a Craft Terminal Equipment or with a SH are similar and the alarm indications

are identical in a Q3 protocol application.

�2005ALCATEL





2.1 Fault localization introduction

Fault location can be performed by following simple rules. First, transmission domain alarms have to be checked

to locate the degraded NE. Then, when the faulty NE is identified, equipment domain alarms are checked to

locate degraded board or the faulty optical connection.

2.1.1 Alarm & status indication

The following figures give the correspondance between the alarms of each view and the concerned board.

We describe 4 typical configurations:

-- OADM configuration with:

• 2 OAC

• 2 Mux / Demux

• Supervision

• Only 2 MCCs are designed

• 1 channel is in optical loop

-- Terminal configuration with:

• 1 OAC

• 1 Mux / Demux

• Supervision on both WDM and Client sides

• Remote 4xAny

-- MCC stand alone configuration

• 1 MCC


-- WLA with Coarse WDM configuration

• 1 WLA

• 1 Mux / Demux


The next figure shows alarms on craft terminal views.

2.2 Fault localization with the CT views

TheCraft Terminal alarm features offer a graphical approach to locate a fault (alarm indicators, view navigation).

The Craft Terminal alarm features are accessible from the main window. These features are:

-- The graphical features that give direct information:

• the Alarm severity indicators,

• the Domain alarm indicators,

• the Management status indicators,

• the View area,

-- The alarm diagnosis tools, accessible from the Diagnosis menu:

• the event log files,

• the abnormal condition list.

Figure 7. Equipment view

�2005ALCATEL





the critical (CRI) or major (MAJ) alarms indicate severe alarms that could have impact on the current

traffic (interruption or degrade). Thus requiring a rapid intervention to restore the regular working

condition of the equipment.

A message under the mouse facility provides the alarm or status complete denomination. A message appears

in the message area in the bottom left corner of the view.

The fault localization procedures are the following:

-- Check the management status of the NE

-- Start to localize a fault with the Craft Terminal,

-- Localize an equipment fault,

-- Localize a transmission fault.

Check the management status of the NE

Start to localize a fault with the Craft Terminal

Preliminary conditions:

The ALS feature must be disabled (see section NO TAG -- APSD Configuration, page NO TAG).

1 ) Check the alarm severity indicators to know the emergency level of the situation.

The following table gives the signification of the alarm color code and severities. The detailed

description of the alarm severity indicators is given in the product--release Help--On--Line, on [9], in

section:

“About the graphical user interface”,

“Main view graphical features”,

“Alarms severity indicators”.

fined

�2005ALCATEL





2 ) Check the alarm domain indicators to distinguish the equipment alarms and the transmission alarms:

-- If there is at least one equipment alarm, navigate through the equipment views to locate it (see

procedure: Localize an equipment fault, page 46).

-- If there is no equipment alarm and at least one transmission alarm, display the transmission

views of the OTS port(s) of the NE (see procedure: Localize a transmission fault, page 46).

�2005ALCATEL





Localize an equipment fault

1 ) Display the Equipment view at the NE level.

N.B. The NE level is also the rack level, since there is only one rack.

2 ) Look at the alarm synthesis indicator of each subrack and display the view of the faulty one.

3 ) Look at the alarm synthesis indicator of each board and display the view of the faulty one.

4 ) Look at the board alarm indicators and report to the tables in the Help--On--Line -- Equipment domain

alarms, to determine the default.

Localize a transmission fault

1 ) Display the Transmission view of the OTS port(s) of the NE.

2 ) Look at the alarm synthesis indicators of the OTS, OMS--A and the OMS TPs ...

-- If at least one of these indicators is in faulty status, display the port view of the OTS port. Look

at the transmission alarm indicators and report to the tables in theHelp--On--Line -- Transmission

domain alarms.

-- If there is no alarm on the OTS, OMS--A and OMS TPs, carry on with this procedure.

3 ) In theTransmission viewchoose theTransmission -- Expand -- All LowerTPsmenuoption todisplay

the OCH--A TPs connected to the OTS port.

4 ) Look at the alarm synthesis indicators of the OCH--A TPs:

-- If only one OCH--A is in faulty status, there is probably a local problem with the corresponding

transponder board (MCC or OCC10).

-- If more than one OCH--A are in faulty status, the default can be:

• a default (not detected at the equipment level) on the local MUX/DMUXboard that supports

the faulty channels,

• an optical wiring default at the aggregate interface of the local MUX/DMUX board that

supports the faulty channels,

• a default on the remote MUX/DMUX board that supports the faulty channels at the other

extremity of the line,

• an optical wiring default at the aggregate interface of the remote MUX/DMUX board that

supports the faulty channels at the other extremity of the line.�2005ALCATEL





2.3 Fault localization with the Alarm Surveillance Application

In the following are presented the troubleshooting tables referred to the information given in the AlarmSynthesis

3 UNIT REPLACEMENT WITH A SPARE

No particular indication is given concerning spares handling which is left to the Maintenance Administration.

The replacement procedures are executed as follows:

-- Hardware set the spare unit exactly as the unit to replace. The setting options are specified in the section

HARDWARE SETTING DOCUMENTATION of the Technical Handbook.

-- Simply replace those units not provided with any software settings.

• Replace those units having software settings (except for the Equipment Controller ESC unit)

Should the program release of the spare unit be compatible with that of the faulty one, the unit will

become operative after having automatically downloaded the software setting options from the

Equipment Controller.

Should the release differ, then bymeans of the Craft Terminal download the software release updated

on the replaced unit.

�2005ALCATEL





�2005ALCATEL





4 ESC UNIT REPLACEMENT

Various procedures are utilized to replace a faulty controller ESC unit in the 1696MSPAN. They depend on the

type of spares available:

• Spares belonging to the same type of equipment and with SW release identical to the unit to replace.

• Spares belonging to the same type of equipment but with SW release differing from that of the unit to

replace.

• Spares belonging to other types of equipment or with unknown software.

The procedures aim at replacing the faulty unit without causing configuration changes and/or unwanted faults.

Therefore, while replacing the Equipment Controller ESC unit, the Equipment is regularly operating except for

the functions carried out by the unit to be replaced (i.e. OS/RECT Connection).

Procedure to replace ESC board:

1 ) Install ESC in slot 1 with dip switch 1 enabled

2 ) Start the NE

3 ) Wait for EC and SC LEDs to turn from yellow to green

4 ) Remove ESC and reset dip switch 1 to disabled

5 ) Install ESC and restart

6 ) With craft or EML, verify and or download the latest SW to ESC--1

7 ) With craft or EML, restore DB

8 ) With craft or EML, activate DB

-- OS configuration

-- NTP configuration

-- Ethernet configuration (from ’No’ to ’Yes’)

-- LAPD configuration

-- and at last, OS configuration

The NE reboots, wait for supervision to be re--established.

�2005ALCATEL





5 DATA BASE ERASE

Sometimes, it can be necessary to erase the NE DataBase, because it is corrupted, or to restore another one.

Then, instead of deprovisionning the whole NE, it is quiker to erase it HW way.

There are two types of Data Base Erasure :

-- Erasure of the complete DB including local configuration;

-- Erasure of the DB but the local configuration (adresses, supervision configuration,... remain)

To procede, follow these steps :

-- unplug the ESC board;

-- on the board, locate the small switch, near the front panel, showing 4 little switches

-- choose the switch to push :

• to erase the complete DB with local configuration, push switch 1

• to erase the DB but the local configuration, push switch 2

-- re--plug the ESC board, and wait for reboot (a few minutes, when EC and SC LEDs have both turned to

green)

-- de--plug the ESC board and put the switch in initial position (aligned with other switches)

-- re--plug the ESC board, and wait for reboot (a few minutes, when EC and SC LEDs have both turned to

green)

The DB is now blank, and new configurations can be made, or a back--up DB can be restored.

6 ROUTINE DUST FILTER MAINTENANCERoutine maintenance is a periodic set of measurements and checks.

This maintenance discovers those devices whose function has deteriorated with time and therefore need

adjustment or replacement.

6.1 Routine maintenanceAccording to the filter type It is suggested to carry out the following operations:

-- Metallic filter cleaning (3ALXXYYY) with a periodicity depending on the environmental conditions;
