Foreword
The OptiX RTN 600 radio transmission
system is a type of short-haul digital
microwave transmission system developed
by Huawei. The system supports a
maximum transmission capacity of 1xSTM1 over one microwave carrier. The OptiX
RTN 600 adopts a split-mount structure
and a PDH/SDH integrated microwave
transmission platform. It can be used to
provide backhaul in mobile communication
networks or private networks, or to
compose transmission networks together
with optical transmission equipment.

Checking the SRV Indicator

The SRV indicator deserves the most attention, because it
indicates whether any fault has occurred to the current services.
When the SRV indicator is lit red or yellow, you need to check
whether the services are really affected.
ON
The services are normal.
ON
Critical alarms or major alarms are

generated in the services.
ON
Minor alarms or remote alarms are

generated in the services.
OFF
No services are configured.
SRV

Checking the BER Indicator
The BER indicator indicates the bit error conditions on
the current microwave link.
When bit errors occur on the link, query the actual
receiving power of the ODU by using the Web LCT, to

exclude the influence of weather and climate.
ON
Microwave bit errors have exceeded the

threshold.
OFF
Microwave bit errors have not exceeded

the threshold.

Testing the Orderwire Phone
Making a call to other site.
The dial tone should be clear after pick up the phone.
The ringing tone should be clear after dial the number.
If remote site answered the call, the voice should be

clear without noise.
Page 17
Cleaning the Air Filter
Clean the air filter once every two months.
Cleaning the air filter is necessary only for the IDU 620
that is configured with fans.
If installed in a dust-proof outdoor cabinet, the IDU 620 is

equipped with no air filter. There is no need to clean the
air filter.
Page 18
Cleaning the Equipment Room
It is recommend to clean the equipment room

once every two months.
1. Temperature: 5 to 45.
2. Humidity: 5% to 95%.
3. Disaster protection.
4. Clean the equipment room.

2. Checking the hybrid
ODU
coupler
3. Checking the antenna
4. Checking the IF cable
IF cable
Page 21
Checking the ODU
1. Verify that the ODU is within the

protection area of the lightning arrester.
2. Verify that the interface between the

ODU and the antenna is firm and reliable.
3. Verify that the interface between the

ODU and the antenna are properly sealed.
Verify that the sealing is water-proof.
4. Verify that the protection grounding

cable of the ODU is normal.
5. Verify that the ODU is damaged on the

surface.

Checking the Antenna
Protection area of the lightning

arrester.
Connections between antenna to

pole.
Antenna radome should be

intact.
No water accumulation in
antenna.
Position and direction of antenna.
Page 24
Checking the IF Cable
Check the appearance of the IF cable.
The cable should not be bent or twisted.
The cable should not have its copper wire exposed.
The bending radius of the cable should be more than 30 cm.
Check the cable connectors.
The cable connector should be reliably connected to the ODU.
There is no water penetration.
Check the cable grounding.
The grounding clip should be waterproof.

The grounding cable should be routed from top downwards. The angle
between the grounding cable and the IF cable should not be more
than 15 degrees.

Replacing an IF Board
When the IF board to be replaced is the working board configured with the 1+1
protection, use the Web LCT or T2000 to perform forced switching for the board.
When the service of the board to be replaced is the working service configured
with the SNCP, use the Web LCT or T2000 to perform forced switching for the
service.
Turn off the ODU-PWR switch of the IF board to be replaced. Disconnect the IF
cable.
Make sure the version and type of the spare board are consistent with those of
the board to be replaced.
Remove the board.
Insert the spare board. Connect the IF cable.
When the board is working, observe the indicators. The STAT indicator should be
lit green.
Turn on the ODU-PWR switch of the IF board.
If the SNCP forced switching was performed for the service, use the Web LCT or
T2000 to cancel it. If the 1+1 protection forced switching of the board was
performed, use the Web LCT or T2000 to cancel it.

Replacing an SCC Board
Remove the SCC board and make

sure the spare SCC board is
consistent with it.
Remove the portable memory cards.
Install the portable memory card of

the board to be replaced onto the
