Fiber Doctor System User Guide 1 FD System of a WDM/OTN Network
1 FD System of a WDM/OTN Network
This section describes the basic functions, application scenarios, system

components, and implementation principles of the Fiber Doctor (FD) system.
1.1 Application
The FD system is used to monitor and manage line fibers in a network. By
precisely detecting the fiber connection status, the FD system helps maintenance
personnel analyze the quality of fiber connectors and splicing points, which
facilitates quick fiber issue diagnosis.
1.2 System Components
The FD system requires the interoperation between hardware and software.
1.3 Principles
The line fiber quality detection function calculates link loss calculation and locates
faults by emitting optical pulses into a fiber, and then receiving and analyzing the
Rayleigh scattering and Fresnel reflection signals that are generated at each point
during pulse transmission in the fiber.
1.1 Application
The FD system is used to monitor and manage line fibers in a network. By
precisely detecting the fiber connection status, the FD system helps maintenance
personnel analyze the quality of fiber connectors and splicing points, which
facilitates quick fiber issue diagnosis.
OTDR Meter: Traditional Fiber Quality Detection

In a WDM system, fiber issues, such as fiber aging, fiber damage, fiber coiling,
large-radius bending, and large pulling stress, may cause large fiber attenuation
and high BERs that will consequently impair network operating.
In addition to fault diagnosis, traditional optical time domain reflectometers
(OTDRs) can be used to measure the fiber length, attenuation introduced in fiber
transmission, and fiber connector attenuation. OTDRs are therefore widely used in
the fiber engineering and network deployment phases.

NetStar O&M
Figure 1-1 Schematic diagram of the OTDR detection application
Fiber performance testing is classified into acceptance testing and maintenance

testing based on the test implementation phase. Acceptance testing is performed
when links are offline. With the wide application of fibers, maintenance testing
has become a vital and usual part of the process. Regularly performed
maintenance testing helps detect the fiber performance in a network in a timely
manner. If traditional OTDRs are used to perform fiber performance testing, the
testing needs to be performed on site and services need to be interrupted.
Online fiber status detection methods that can achieve remote, online, accurate,
and quick fiber status detection are necessary to improve maintenance efficiency
and reduce maintenance costs.
Line Fiber Quality Detection Function of the FD System

The FD system modulates the OTDR detection signals into optical supervisory
signals or Raman light, uses Rayleigh scattering and Fresnel reflection principles to
detect the fiber loss variation and position, and reports the detection data to the
NMS. The NMS displays detection results in a graphical user interface (GUI).
● Provides visualized OTDR meter-like GUIs on the NMS.
● Supports remote detection on fiber quality in unidirectional or bidirectional
mode.
● Supports quality detection for fibers within different length ranges based on
the detection mode and detection parameter settings.
● Saves and compares historical detection results.
● Displays the length and attenuation of a specific fiber span on the entire
network.
● Proactively reports alarms to the NMS and indicates the position of a fiber
cut.
Highlights of the FD System

● Easy deployment and seamless integration with the NMS
An OSC board or Raman board with the OTDR function is deployed at each
site. After the detection is started, the fiber quality detection result can be
viewed on the NMS in real time. There is no extra software or hardware
requirements.

NetStar O&M
● Online detection, without any impact on services

The OTDR and OSC signals are transmitted at the same wavelength, and the
two functions do not affect each other.
● Remote location of fiber faults, reducing onsite maintenance costs
The quality of optical fibers within different length ranges is detected based
on the flexible settings of the detection mode and detection parameters. The
quality of any types of optical fibers can be detected unidirectionally or
bidirectionally.
● Automatic and online fiber quality detection, promptly learning about the line
health status
Fiber detection can be automatically triggered by alarms, and automatic
polling detection is performed within a user-defined period.
● Automatic fiber parameter measurement, facilitating project implementation
The splicing point, connector, and position can be identified, and the fiber
length, connector attenuation, connector reflection, and splicing point
attenuation can be measured to facilitate quickly determining the fiber span
loss and fiber splicing quality.
● Detection data comparison, helping quickly analyze abnormal points
Detection results can be saved and compared with historical data.

The line fiber quality detection function of the FD system helps maintenance
personnel quickly discover and rectify fiber quality issues, ensuring normal
network operations.

Application Scenarios of the FD System

Board Scenario
Type
Raman This board is mainly used to ensure that the Raman pump laser is
boards properly started. It provides the following functions:
that ● Locates fault points when the fiber connection detection results
support are abnormal. The fiber connection detection can be performed
OTDR using the FCD button on the front panel of the Raman board in
detectio the fiber connection verification phase during hardware
n installation.
● Checks fiber quality before deployment commissioning.
● Locates fault points when the Raman laser cannot be turned on
and a LASER_OPEN_FAIL\ LASER-OPEN-FAIL alarm is reported.
● Checks fiber health status at any time during network operations.
● Analyzes whether a fiber quality issue occurs when the Raman
gain is excessively low and an OA_LOW_GAIN\ GAIN-LOW alarm
is reported.
● Locates fault points when a fiber cut occurs and a MUT_LOS \
LOS-MUT alarm is reported by FIU board, or verifies fiber recovery
status after a fiber cut is removed.
OSC This board is mainly used for fiber quality detection and fault
boards diagnosis during O&M. It provides the following functions:
that ● Checks fiber quality before deployment commissioning.
support
OTDR ● Performs real-time detection during network running and checks
detectio fiber status. If a fiber cut is detected, a FIBER_BREAK_POS alarm
n will be proactively reported to the NMS, indicating the position of
the fiber cut.
● Locates fault points when a fiber cut occurs and a MUT_LOS \
LOS-MUT alarm is reported by FIU board, or verifies fiber recovery
status after a fiber cut is removed.
1.2 System Components

The FD system requires the interoperation between hardware and software.
The hardware emits detection light to obtain fiber performance data, which is
then uniformly scheduled by the software. The software provides user-friendly
GUIs to set detection modes in various scenarios.
● Hardware
The Raman or OSC boards that support OTDR detection are used to monitor
the line fiber quality. They emit detection light to obtain fiber performance
data, receive detection results, and report the obtained fiber performance
data to the FD system.
● Software

NetStar O&M
The FD system is integrated on the NMS. After users issue detection

commands on the NMS, the FD system receives the performance data
reported by equipment and graphically displays the data.
The following figure shows the interoperation between the hardware and software
of the FD system.
1.3 Principles
The line fiber quality detection function calculates link loss calculation and locates
faults by emitting optical pulses into a fiber, and then receiving and analyzing the
Rayleigh scattering and Fresnel reflection signals that are generated at each point
during pulse transmission in the fiber.
Line Fiber Quality Detection Types

Line fiber quality detection is classified into online detection and offline detection.
OSC boards support both online detection and offline detection, whereas Raman
boards support only offline detection.

is not affected.

NetStar O&M
Line Fiber Quality Detection Principles

The built-in optical transmitter of the Raman or OSC board that supports OTDR
detection emits detection light into an optical fiber. During transmission of optical
pulses in the fiber, Rayleigh scattering and Fresnel reflection signals are generated
due to fiber-inherent characteristics, or fiber connection, splicing, or bending. The
scattering and reflection signals are collected and measured in trail-tracking
mode. The measured signal trail shows the signal strength inside the whole fiber.
The signal trail curve can be used to obtain attenuation at single fiber points, and
optical power losses caused by irregular points in fibers, fiber cuts, fiber splicing,
and fiber connectors.
Figure 1-3 Fiber quality detection principles
Test Curve Analysis

● Reflection event
The active connector, fiber crack point, or fiber end causes loss and reflection
of the optical pulse. The event with a large reflection amplitude is called a
reflection event.
● Non-reflection event
The splice connector and the bending part on the fiber cause optical power
loss, but do not cause the reflection.
Such event is called a non-reflection event.

NetStar O&M
Figure 1-4 Test Curve Analysis
Offline Detection and Online Detection of an OSC Board

The fiber quality detection light shares the same light source with the OSC.
● In offline detection, the OTDR detection pulses are transmitted in full
amplitude, and no OSC modulation signal is transmitted. As a result, OSC
communication is interrupted. In this case, only the fiber quality detection
signal is transmitted, the detection dynamic range is large, and the
performance is higher than that of online detection.
● In online detection, the OTDR detection pulses are added to the OSC signal in
pilot-tone mode, and OSC communication is not affected. In this case, the
fiber quality detection function works with the OSC concurrently, the
detection dynamic range is small, and the performance is lower than that of
offline detection.

2.1.1 Limitations on the FD Feature

Networking Requirements
Item Dependency and Limitation
Raman ● If 97ERPC board is found on the live network, fiber detection using
board TN12RAU1/TN12RAU2/TN11SRAU/TN51RPC/TN97RPC/
TNG2WRPC/TN52SRAPXF/TNG3SRAPXF/TNG2SRAPXF/TNG2WRPC
board is not allowed.
● If G2ERPC board is found on the live network, fiber detection using
TN12RAU1/TN12RAU2/TN11SRAU/TN51RPC/TN97RPC/
TNG2WRPC/TN52SRAPXF/TNG2WRPC board is not allowed.
● In the TWRS fiber+backward Raman board+OSC (providing the
OTDR function) scenario, the online Fiber Doctor System function
of the OSC module is not supported.
● When an SRAPXF board is connected to an RPC, ERPC, or ROP
board, the line fiber quality monitoring function cannot be used. If
the detection result is displayed, ignore it.
● When the TNG2RPC and TNG2HSC1 boards are used together, the
OTDR signal optical signals at the peer end, the service optical
signals at the SYS port of the local TNG2RPC board, and the OSC
signal optical signals at the RFM3 1511 optical port have impacts
on the OTDR detection of the TNG2RPC board. As a result, the
OTDR detection result of the TNG2RPC board becomes abnormal.
● For TNG2RPC and TNG2HSC1 boards, if the lasers are not turned
off after being manually turned on, the lasers on these boards will
be automatically turned off 15 minutes later. If the OTDR function
is enabled, the lasers are automatically turned on, and you do not
need to manually turn on them.

NetStar O&M
OSC ● The TN12ST2/TN11AST2/TN51AST2/TNG2AST4/TNG2HSC1 board

board can be connected to an FIU, DAPXF, SRAPXF, SFIU, OLSP or OLSPA/
OLSPB board.
– The FIU board must be TN13FIU03, TN16FIU01, or TN11SFIU01.
– The DAPXF board is TN52DAPXF. Within the same OMS, the
DAPXF board can be interconnected with an FIU, SFIU, or
another DAPXF board, but the interconnected boards must have
the same mode. In other words, the interconnected boards must
all function as FIU boards or all function as SFIU boards. If the
board modes are different, the fiber quality detection function
becomes unavailable.
– The SRAPXF board is TN52SRAPXF. Within the same OMS, the
SRAPXF board can be interconnected with an FIU or another
SRAPXF board, but the interconnected boards must have the
same mode. If the board modes are different, the fiber quality
detection function becomes unavailable.
– The OLSP board must be TN11OLSP01. The OLSP board is used
in the two-fiber bidirectional transmission scenario.
– The OLSPA/OLSPB board can be only TN11OLSPA01 or
TN11OLSPB01, and TN11OLSPA and TN11OLSPB boards must
be used in pairs. For example, if TN11OLSPA01 is used at one
end of a fiber, TN11OLSPB01 must be used at the other end of
the fiber. The OLSPA/OLSPB board is used in the single-fiber
bidirectional transmission scenario.
● On a short fiber span, a fixed optical attenuator (FOA) needs to be
added so that the fiber insertion loss is greater than 15 dB,
preventing a receiver overload issue. For a TN12ST2/TN11AST2/
TN51AST2TNG2AST2/TNG2AST4 board, the fixed optical attenuator
(FOA) can be configured only on the RMn port of the board rather
than the TMn or TXn port of other OSC boards.
● The TNG2AST2/TNG2AST4/TNG2HSC1 board can be connected to
the TNG2DAPXF/TNG3DAPXF/TNG2SRAPXF/TNG3SRAPXF/
TNG2SRAPXF/TNG2WDAPXFR, and TNG2WDAPXF boards.
● For details about the interconnection between OSC boards, see the
"Overview of Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC) Boards" in the
product documentation Hardware Description.

NetStar O&M
Fiber Connection Requirements

OSC ● On the front panel of the TN12ST2/TN11AST2/TN51AST2/

board TNG2AST2/TNG2AST4 board, ensure that TM1 is connected to
TMI1 and TM2 is connected to TMI2 using fiber patch cords so that
detection light traverses dead zone fibers. Do not directly connect
TM1 or TM2 to the RM port of the FIU, DAPXF, SRAPXF, OLSP or
OLSPA/OLSPB board or OSCy port on SFIU.
● For the TN12ST2/TN11AST2/TN51AST2/TNG2AST2/TNG2AST4
board, ensure that the ports on the detection optical path
TN12ST2/TN11AST2/TN51AST2/TNG2AST2/TNG2AST4 TMx >
TN12ST2/TN11AST2/TN51AST2/TNG2AST2/TNG2AST4 TMIx >
TN12ST2/TN11AST2/TN51AST2/TNG2AST2/TNG2AST4 TMOx >
FIU/DAPXF/SRAPXF RM (or OSCy on SFIU) > FIU/DAPXF/SRAPXF
OUT (or LINE1 on SFIU) are clean.
● On the front panel of the TNG2HSC1 board, ensure that FM1 is
connected to FMI1 and FM2 is connected to FMI2 using fiber patch
cords so that detection light traverses dead zone fibers. Do not
directly connect FM1 or FM2 to the RM port of the DAPXF, SRAPXF
or WDAPXF board.
In Figure 2-1, connecting the TN11AST2 board to an FIU board is used
as example to describe the fiber connection requirements.

Requirements on Optical Fiber Quality Detection

Near- Ensure that the near-end end face of the fiber is clean. You are
end end advised to use a microscope to check the end face.
face NOTE
When a TN12ST2 board is used for detection and the STAT indicator on the
board front panel is quickly blinking yellow (250 ms on and 250 ms off),
contamination of the near-end fiber end face, optical module suspension, or
near-end fiber cuts may occur on either of the two detection ports on the
TN12ST2 board.
Raman ● Do not press the FCD button on the Raman board front panel to
scenario trigger fiber connection detection during line fiber quality
detection.
● When Auto OTDR Detection upon Pump Laser Start is set to
Enabled, do not turn on the Raman laser on the Raman board
during line fiber quality detection.
● Bidirectional detection is enabled in the Raman scenario. If both
the source NE or sink NE has the TN12ST2/TN11AST2/TN51AST2/
TNG2AST2/TNG2AST4/TNG2HSC1 board at the same time, the
TN12ST2/TN11AST2/TN51AST2/TNG2AST2/TNG2AST4/
TNG2HSC1 board is preferentially selected for detection.
● In Raman scenarios, if the SRAPXF board is used to monitor fiber
quality, the detection curve may be abnormal and event reporting
may be inaccurate when Raman laser is enabled. In this case, it is
recommended that you disable the Raman laser and use Offline
mode in Advanced Mode to monitor the fiber quality.
TN12ST ● When the TN12ST2 board works on wavelength 1491 nm, it does
2 not support detection using Default Mode.
● When the TN12ST2 board uses Default Mode for fiber quality
detection, in case of a fiber environment change such as a fiber
cut or fiber insertion or removal, the user has to wait 10 minutes
before obtaining the latest detection results in the new fiber
environment. During the wait duration, the user cannot perform
manual detection. If the user performs manual detection in the
wait duration, the user must wait 10 minutes again to obtain the
latest automatic detection results.

Raman ● If G2ERPC board is found on the live network, fiber detection using
board TNG2WRPC board is not allowed.
● In the TWRS fiber+backward Raman board+OSC (providing the
OTDR function) scenario, the online Fiber Doctor System function
of the OSC module is not supported.
● When an SRAPXF board is connected to an RPC, ERPC, or ROP
board, the line fiber quality monitoring function cannot be used. If
the detection result is displayed, ignore it.
● When the TNG2RPC and TNG2HSC1 boards are used together, the
OTDR signal optical signals at the peer end, the service optical
signals at the SYS port of the local TNG2RPC board, and the OSC
signal optical signals at the RFM3 1511 optical port have impacts
on the OTDR detection of the TNG2RPC board. As a result, the
OTDR detection result of the TNG2RPC board becomes abnormal.
● For TNG2RPC and TNG2HSC1 boards, if the lasers are not turned
off after being manually turned on, the lasers on these boards will
be automatically turned off 15 minutes later. If the OTDR function
is enabled, the lasers are automatically turned on, and you do not
need to manually turn on them.
OSC ● On a short fiber span, a fixed optical attenuator (FOA) needs to be

board added so that the fiber insertion loss is greater than 15 dB,
preventing a receiver overload issue. For a TNG2AST2/TNG2AST4/

function.
4.2.1 OSN 9800/8800/6800/3800 Specifications

This section describes the specifications of the line fiber quality detection function
for OSN 9800/8800/6800/3800.

NetStar O&M
Specification Description
Table 4-10 Description of line fiber quality monitoring specifications

Pulse width Width of detection light pulses. When the pulse width
increases, the light emitting time increases and consequently a
larger energy is obtained. This means that a larger dynamic
range can be acquired but also larger dead zones will result.
Insertion loss Deviation of the measured event attenuation from the actual
precision event attenuation.
Reflection Deviation of the measured event reflection strength from the

precision actual event reflection strength.

NetStar O&M
Dynamic range ● The service light affects the FD performance during co-
directional transmission. As long as there is service light,
the FD dynamic range decreases.
For example, as shown in the following figure:
When an OTDR sends light to the 1511 nm module at site
A, service light and FD probe light are transmitted in the
same direction. In this case, the dynamic range of this
module is affected.
B, service light and FD probe light are transmitted in
reverse directions. In this case, the dynamic range of this
module is not affected.
Figure 4-1 Main optical channel services in two-fiber

bidirectional scenarios & OSC signals in single-fiber
bidirectional scenarios (with TN12ST2/TN11AST2 boards
configured)

NetStar O&M

bidirectional scenarios (with AST2 boards configured)
● A larger incident multiplexed-wavelength optical power

indicates a smaller FD dynamic range. When the
multiplexed-wavelength optical power is +23 dBm, the
dynamic range decreases by more than 5 dB.
Measurement Deviation of the measured event occurrence point from the

precision actual event occurrence point.
The distance measurement precision values in the Table 4-13,
Table 4-14, and Table 4-15 are typical values. The
measurement value of the event location is calculated from
the TMOx port of the board, including the fiber patch cord
connected to the TMOx port and the length of the built-in
optical fiber of the FIU/SFIU/DAPXF board.
When performing a distance precision comparison test with an
OTDR or third-party equipment, it is recommended that you
use the TMOx port to directly connect a long fiber to perform
a comparison test. Otherwise, you need to deduct the fiber
length from the measured value and then compare the
distance precision.
Event dead Displayed distance between the two points 1.5 dB lower than
zone the reflection peak on the reflection signal trace for a given
reflection peak (unsaturated, reflection value being less than
-45 dB).

NetStar O&M
Attenuation Distance between two intersection points from the start point
dead zone of the reflection pulse to the point 0.5 dB higher than the
linear from the trailing edge of the reflection pulse to the
backscattering curve for a given reflection peak (unsaturated,
reflection value being less than -45 dB). The distance is the
minimum distance for distinguishing and reporting two
adjacent events.
The following figure shows the event dead zone and attenuation dead zone:

The distance measurement indicators are applicable only to independent

TNG2RPC board networking. For other Raman board networking modes, you are
advised to deduct the corresponding values to locate the fault.
1. TNG2RPC+TNG2ROP: Subject to the fiber length in the ROP board, if the
event point is more than 300 m away from the near end, you are advised to
deduct 300 m to locate the fault point.
2. TNG2RPC+TNG2ERPC: Subject to the fiber length in the ERPC board, if the
event point is more than 100 m away from the near end, you are advised to
deduct 100 m to locate the fault point.
3. TNG2RPC+TNG2ROP+TNG2ERPC: Subject to the fiber lengths in the ROP and
ERPC boards, if the event point is more than 400 m away from the near end,
you are advised to deduct 400 m to locate the fault point.
When the Raman laser is turned on, the detection curve of the TNG2RPC board
may be saturated or bent at the near end (6.5.2 Abnormal Detection Using
the TNG2RPC Board), and the dynamic range deteriorates by more than 5 dB.
As a result, event reporting may be inaccurate. In this case, you are advised to
turn off the Raman laser and use Offline in Advanced Mode to monitor fiber
quality.

● Maximum distance measurement capability: namely, fiber length detection

capability. The corresponding maximum total line loss is 28 dB (@20 μs). To
meet the requirement for the maximum distance measurement capability,
the fiber end must be connected to the RM optical port of the TN12ST2
board. The maximum distance measurement capability ensures only the
detection on the total fiber length but not detection on other events or
detection precision.
● The detection time for dynamic range in offline mode is 120 seconds.

Dynamic range Dynamic range is represented by an RMS (SNR = 1) and

determines the maximum fiber detection distance. A larger
dynamic range indicates a longer detection distance.

NOTE
● The service light affects the FD performance during co-directional
transmission. As long as there is service light, the FD dynamic
range decreases.
When an OTDR sends light to the 1511 nm module at site A,
service light and FD probe light are transmitted in the same
direction. In this case, the dynamic range of this module is affected.
When an OTDR sends light to the 1491 nm module at site B,
service light and FD probe light are transmitted in reverse
directions. In this case, the dynamic range of this module is not
affected.

5.2 Manually Starting Fiber Quality Monitoring

To start fiber quality monitoring, you must manually set Detection Mode and
Detection Parameters. When fiber quality monitoring is performed for the first
time, the monitoring must be started manually. The system supports fiber
detection and port detection for fiber quality monitoring. When fiber connections

NetStar O&M
are normal, you can start fiber detection. When fiber connections are abnormal,
you can start port detection.
Precaution
When the OSN 8800/6800/3800/9800 TN12ST2 board uses Default Mode for
fiber quality monitoring, in case of a fiber environment change such as a fiber cut
or fiber insertion or removal, the user has to wait 10 minutes before obtaining the
latest detection results in the new fiber environment. During the wait duration,
the user cannot perform manual detection. If the user performs manual detection
in the wait duration, the user must wait 10 minutes again to obtain the latest
automatic detection results.
When the OSC board uses Default Mode or Online mode in Advanced Mode for
fiber quality monitoring:
● Due to the limitations of IEEE 1588V2 clocks, when the OSC board is used for
single-fiber dual-ended detection, the following requirements must be met.
Otherwise, monitoring cannot be started.
– No OSC_CLK_MISMATCH alarm is found on the network.
– If more than four OLA sites are deployed in an OMS, clock boards that
satisfy the OSC_CLK_MISMATCH alarm processing requirements need to
be configured at the next OLA site behind every four OLA sites.
– When using the Offline mode in Advanced Mode board for detection,
the OSC communication of the detection line is interrupted and the
OSC_LOS alarm is reported. When this occurs, non-GNEs may be
unreachable by the NMS, affecting functions such as DCN
communication, IEEE 1588v2 clock synchronization, and orderwire
phones.
NOTE
For the OSC_CLK_MISMATCH alarm processing method, see 8.1 OSC_CLK_MISMATCH (for
OSN 8800/6800/3800/9800) or 8.2 OSC_CLK_MISMATCH (for OSN 1800).
● Detection cannot be started if the optical module version of downstream
AST2 or AST4 board is OSC&OTDR SFP V1 and the input optical power is less
than –39 dBm.
● Detection cannot be started if the input optical power of the TNF1AST4/
TMB1AST2 board is less than –39 dBm.
● If only one reference curve is in online mode, the MUT_LOS alarm is not
affected by the downstream –39 dB optical power and triggers the fiber
quality detection.
● If online monitoring has been started for an OTS of an OMS but the
monitoring is not completed, online monitoring cannot be started for other
OTSs on the OMS; otherwise, IEEE 1588v2 clock synchronization is affected.
● If IEEE 1588v2 clock synchronization is also enabled, ensure that online
monitoring is started for no more than 10 spans on the entire network;
otherwise, IEEE 1588v2 clock synchronization is affected.
Context
Fiber quality monitoring can be performed in any of the following modes: Intra-
site Mode, Near-end Mode, Default Mode, Advanced Mode, Projector Mode

NetStar O&M
and Reference Mode. For the typical application scenario of each mode, see 5.7
Parameters: Starting Fiber Quality Detection.
NOTICE
If you use the following detection mode for fiber quality monitoring, the OSC
communication of the detection line is interrupted and the OSC_LOS alarm is
reported. When this occurs, non-GNEs may be unreachable by the NMS, affecting
functions such as DCN communication, IEEE 1588v2 clock synchronization, and
orderwire phones.
● For the OSN 8800/6800/3800/9800 TN12ST2 board, Offline mode under
Advanced Mode is used to perform fiber quality monitoring.
● For the TN11AST2/TN51AST2/TNG2AST2 board or TNF1AST4/TMB1AST2
board, Offline mode in Advanced Mode is used to perform fiber quality
monitoring.
Table 5-1 Fiber quality monitoring modes

Intra-site When a Raman board is used for fiber quality monitoring, Intra-site
Mode/ Mode and Near-end Mode are supported.
Near-end In this mode, the user only needs to select the corresponding mode
Mode in the NMS GUI without setting detection parameters. Then, the
system performs detection based on the default parameters.
● Intra-site Mode: Quickly detects whether intra-office fibers are
properly connected and whether fiber end faces are
contaminated.
● Near-end Mode: Quickly detects the quality of fibers within 30
km from the Raman board to identify the events that affect the
Raman gain.
Default When an OSC board is used for fiber quality monitoring, Default
Mode Mode is supported.
In this mode, the user only needs to select the corresponding mode
in the NMS GUI without setting detection parameters. Then, the
system performs detection based on the default parameters.
This mode is applicable to the scenario where the user does not
know fiber parameters and therefore a preliminary analysis is
performed on fibers based on the default parameters.

NetStar O&M

● When a Raman board is used for fiber quality monitoring, only
Offline mode is supported.
● When an OSC board is used for fiber quality monitoring, Online
mode and Offline mode are supported. When services are
running properly, you are advised to select the Online mode to
ensure that services and OSC communication are not affected.
When a fault occurs on the optical fiber, you are advised to select
the Offline mode with the most powerful detection capability.
● In any mode, the user can select Pulse Width, and set
Measurement Range and Detection Duration as required to
identify fault points.
Referenc This mode is mainly used to compare detection results. In this mode,

Projector When an OSC board boards are used for detection, Projector Mode
Mode is supported.
In this mode, you do not need to set detection parameters. You only
need to select the corresponding mode on the NMS. The system
uses the fixed pulse width parameters of the small, medium, and
large groups for three times, and displays the three detection results
in the detection topology.
This mode applies to scenarios where both local fiber details and
remote fiber status are concerned.

NOTE
● Reflection change threshold: indicates the reference object for the difference between
the two Reflected Power values that are compared. The default value is 3.0 dB.
● Attenuation change threshold: indicates the reference object for the difference
between the two Attenuation values that are compared. The default value is 3.0 dB.
● Historical Curve: This parameter indicates the maximum number of manual detection
curves that can be saved for each port supporting fiber quality monitoring. The default
value is 100.
A greater number of detection curves requires more disk space.
Ensure that the server has sufficient disk space.
default detection scenario (0.06 MB) x Maximum number of saved curves x Number of
fibers.
For example: If the maximum numbers of manually-triggered, alarm-triggered, and
cyclical detection curves are all set to 100, the occupied disk space is 18 MB (0.06 MB x
100 x 3).
Step 3 Click Fiber Doctor, choose Fiber Detection from the drop-down menu, and set
filter criteria.
Step 4 Click the Fiber Detection tab to view the filtering result.

NetStar O&M
NOTE
● The filter result can be displayed in a table. The fibers to be detected on the subnets,
sites, or NEs and more details about fiber parameters are displayed.
● In the filter results listed in a table, if Fiber Length (Designed Value) (km) of a fiber is
1.0 , the fiber length may not be configured.
● In the filter results listed in a table, if Reference Curve of a fiber is Complete or
Incomplete, reference curves are configured for all or some detection ports of the fiber.
● In the filter result listed in a table, if the State of a fiber is Enable, the fiber supports
the detection and one license will be used. Set State to Disable. One license will be
released.
Step 5 In the table, click a detected fiber and set monitoring parameters.
1. If both the source and sink NEs of the fiber to be detected have detection
ports, you can select Bidirectional Detection in the Signal Flow Diagram
dialog box that is displayed. You can select the source and sink boards for
fiber detection at the same time and start bidirectional detection. The
bidirectional detection results can be merged. If you do not select
Bidirectional Detection, the system performs unidirectional detection only
through the board at the source end by default.
2. Optional: If Bidirectional Detection is not selected, when SFIU/DAPXF

((functioning as the SFIU))/OLSPA/OLSPB intended for OSN
8800/6800/3800/9800 (in single-fiber bidirectional networking) or DSFIU,
WSMD9XF (functioning as the SFIU) intended for OSN 1800 (supporting
single-fiber bidirectional detection) is used, select a board for fiber detection
from the source NE or sink NE in the displayed Signal Flow Diagram area. In
other detection scenarios, no detection port needs to be selected.
3. Optional: If Bidirectional Detection is selected, you can deselect Use The

Same Parameters in the Manual Detection area on the right if the detection
boards at the source and sink ends use different detection modes and
parameters for bidirectional detection. If you select Use The Same
Parameters, the detection boards at the source and sink ends use the same
detection mode and parameters by default for bidirectional detection.

NetStar O&M
4. In the Detection Mode area on the right, set the detection mode and
parameters. For the parameter settings of boards in different modes, see 5.7
Parameters: Starting Fiber Quality Detection. For the detection capabilities
in different modes, see 4.2 Specifications.
NOTE
– In the case of bidirectional detection, you need to set the detection modes and
parameters for the source and sink boards. In the case of unidirectional detection,
you only need to set the detection mode and parameters for the source board.
– Different detection boards support different detection modes and parameters. If
the same detection modes and parameters are used for the bidirectional detection,
the detection modes and parameters must be supported by detection boards at
both source and sink ends.
– Use Intra-site Mode/Near-end Mode/Default Mode/Projector Mode
monitoring.
NOTE
Intra-site Mode, Near-end Mode, Projector Mode detection methods are

similar with the Default Mode detection method. Default Mode is used as an
example in this section.
– Use Advanced Mode online monitoring.

NetStar O&M

5.3 Triggering Fiber Quality Detection by Alarm

If alarm monitoring is enabled, fiber quality detection is started for the fiber on
the span where an alarm is generated, and a reference curve is configured, the
system automatically triggers fiber quality detection for the fiber using Detection
Mode and Detection Parameters of the reference curve.
Prerequisites
● Fiber quality detection has been manually started and a reference curve has
been configured. For details, see 5.2 Manually Starting Fiber Quality
Monitoring.
– For the SPAN_LOSS_EXCEED_EOL, SPAN_LOSS_UPPER_GAIN, and
SPAN_LOSS_LOWER_GAIN alarms, set a reference curve whose Detection
Mode is online.
– For the MUT_LOS alarm, there is no requirement for the Detection Mode
of the reference curve. You are advised to set a reference curve whose
Detection Mode is offline. The system preferentially uses the Detection
Mode and Detection Parameters that are the same as the reference
curve in offline mode to trigger fiber quality detection.
● NMS is reporting SPAN_LOSS_EXCEED_EOL, SPAN_LOSS_UPPER_GAIN,
SPAN_LOSS_LOWER_GAIN or MUT_LOS alarm.
Background Information
Currently, the alarms listed in Table 5-2 can trigger fiber quality detection.
Table 5-2 Alarms that can trigger fiber quality detection
Alarm Description
SPAN_LO Indicates that the actual span loss exceeds the EOL value.
SS_EXCE
ED_EOL

NetStar O&M
Alarm Description
SPAN_LO Indicates that the actual span loss exceeds the gain compensation
SS_UPPE value and the value of Line Attenuation Compensation Threshold
R_GAIN (default value: 2 dB).
SPAN_LO Indicates that the actual span loss is less than the gain
SS_LOW compensation value and the value of Line Attenuation
ER_GAIN Compensation Threshold (default value: 2 dB).
MUT_LO Indicates that the input multiplexed-wavelength signals of a board

S are lost.
NOTE
● After MUT_LOS alarm detection is enabled, detection is triggered about 8 minutes after the
MUT_LOS alarm is generated if the configured reference curve is the detection curve of the
OSN 9800/8800/6800/3800 TN12ST2 and the Detection Mode is Default Mode. If the
configured reference curve is the detection curve of the TN11AST2/TN51AST2/TNG2AST2/
TNF1AST4/TMB1AST2 board, detection is triggered immediately after the MUT_LOS alarm is
generated.

Historical Curve: This parameter indicates the maximum number of manual detection
curves that can be saved for each port supporting fiber quality monitoring. The default value is
100.
A greater number of detection curves requires more disk space. Ensure that the server has
sufficient disk space.
Occupied disk space (MB) = Space occupied by a historical curve of one fiber in the default
detection scenario (0.06 MB) x Maximum number of saved curves x Number of fibers.
For example: If the maximum numbers of manually-triggered, alarm-triggered, and cyclical
detection curves are all set to 100, the occupied disk space is 18 MB (0.06 MB x 100 x 3).
Optional. This parameter indicates the maximum number of manual detection curves that can
be saved for each port supporting fiber quality detection. The default value is 100.

5.7 Parameters: Starting Fiber Quality Detection

This section describes the parameters for starting fiber quality detection.
Performance Parameters
The performance parameters of fiber quality detection mainly refer to Pulse
Width, Measurement Range, and Detection Duration. To use Advanced Mode
to detect fiber quality, you can customize performance parameters to locate faults
at different locations.

NetStar O&M
Performa Description
nce
Parameter
Pulse Width of detection light pulses. When the pulse width increases,
Width the light emitting time increases and consequently a larger energy
is obtained. This means that a larger dynamic range can be
acquired but also larger dead zones will result.
Measurem Maximum distance for the line fiber quality detection function to
ent Range sample data. The distance determines the sampling resolution.
NOTE
The total fiber loss will affect the detection distance and the dynamic range
is fixed for the same detection mode. Therefore, a larger total fiber loss
indicates a smaller detection distance. To maximize the detection capability,
the value of Measurement Range is generally greater than the actual
detection capability. For example, if the TN12RAU1/TN12RAU2/TN11SRAU/
TN51RPC/TN97RPC/TNG2WRPC/TN52SRAPXF/TNG2SRAPXF/TNG3SRAPXF
board is used to perform fiber quality detection, when the detection mode
(with Pulse Width set to 20000 ns) is selected, the actual detection
capability is about 60 km, while the maximum value of Measurement
Range is 80 km. When the fault point is beyond the permitted distance
range of a detection mode and cannot be located, select a detection mode
that provides a larger pulse width to locate the fault point.
Detection Measurement is performed multiple times within the detection

Duration time. The average value is obtained based on the measurement
results to improve the measurement precision. The actual duration
from the time when a detection event starts to the time when the
detection results are returned will be longer than the Detection
Duration.
Detection Parameters of a Raman Board

NOTE
During online fiber quality detection when the Raman laser is turned on, energy exchange will
occur due to the Raman effect on the detection light in the fiber. The energy exchange will
affect the actual detection distance. For G.652 fibers, the detection distance will be shortened by
about 20%. This value is 30% for LEAF fibers, and 40% for G.653 fibers.

TNF1AST4 or Pulse Width is used for fiber quality detection and the optical
module on the board is OSC&OTDR SFP V2.
c: Events in the maximum dynamic range corresponding to a pulse width can be
reported normally. The actual distance corresponding to the dynamic range is
calculated based on the fiber attenuation coefficient. The value of
Measurement Range must be equal to or slightly greater than the actual fiber
length regardless of the detection on the near-end fiber quality or the entire
fiber quality; otherwise, an event that cannot be displayed in the detection
curve may be falsely reported. If you do not know the actual fiber length, you
are advised to set Pulse Width and Measurement Range to the maximum
values for first detection to obtain the actual fiber length and then perform
detection again using accurate parameters.

Decrease, Which Conflicts with the Results of Detection Using a Meter
Problem Description
When a TN12ST2 board is used to automatically detect line fiber quality, the
reflection peak in the end detection curve decreases slowly, which is inconsistent
with the detection result of a test meter. The following figure shows the fault
symptom.

NetStar O&M
Problem Analysis
The principles of automatic detection are different from those of meter detection.
The difference between their modules causes different detection results. However,
this issue does not affect the actual application.
Solution
No solution needs to be taken.
6.5.1.4 When a Raman Board Is Configured and the TN12ST2 Board Is Used
to Automatically Monitor Fiber Quality, the Detection Curve at the End Goes

Problem Description
When a Raman board is configured and the TN12ST2 board is used to
automatically monitor fiber quality, the detection curve at the end goes up,
affecting event reporting. The following figure shows the fault symptom.
Problem Analysis
When a Raman board is configured, the fiber probe light of the TN12ST2 board
will be amplified by the Raman board. As a result, the detection curve at the end
will go up, which may affect event reporting.
Solution
No solution needs to be taken.

6.5.3.1 What Do I Do If a Failure Message Is Displayed but No Failure Cause

Is Displayed After I Start Fiber Quality Detection and a Success Message Is
Displayed After I Restart Detection?
Problem Description
After I start fiber quality detection in the FD system, a failure message is
displayed. After I move the cursor to the detection record, no failure cause is
displayed. After I restart detection, a success message is displayed.

NetStar O&M
Problem Analysis
During the first detection, the system time of the client may be changed. As a
result, the FD system regards that the client is unstable and determines that the
operation times out, and therefore displays a failure message falsely. In this case,
even if the detection is successful, a failure message is displayed but no failure
cause is displayed. After detection is restarted, the system time of the client is
stable and therefore a success message is displayed.
Solution
Do not change the system time of the client during fiber quality detection.

8.3 FIBER_BREAK_POS
Description
Fiber cut location. After the MUT_LOS alarm is set to trigger the fiber quality
detection, the MUT_LOS alarm automatically triggers the fiber detection when the
fiber is disconnected. The system compares the reflection and attenuation values
of the new event points or end event points on the current curve and reference
curve to determine the fiber cut position and reports this alarm.

POS Indicates the distance of a fiber cut, in

the unit of meter.
NENAME Indicates the peer NE name of the cut

fiber.
ALMID Indicates the serial number of the

MUT_LOS alarm related to the fiber
cut. All-zero indicates that there is no
related alarm.
NOTE
When fibers are broken, the MUT_LOS
alarms may be reported. The Fiber Doctor
will start detection, and the Fiber Doctor
related alarms will be reported. So, the
serial number indicates the MUT_LOS
number of reported sequences, according
to which users can locate the MUT_LOS
alarm.
DIR Indicates the direction of a fiber cut. 0

indicates the direction of the send, and
1 indicates the receive direction.

NetStar O&M
NOTE Indicates the description of the fiber

cut distance.
If the fiber cut distance is –1 m, the
fiber cut location is beyond the
maximum detection distance. You are
advised to use a large pulse width for
detection.
If the fiber cut distance is 0 m, the
fiber cut location is too close to the
detection port. You are advised to use
a small pulse width for detection.
FIBERNAME Indicates the name of the fiber cut.
SITENAME Indicates the name of the peer site

where the fiber is cut.

A fiber cut occurs.
Possible Causes
● A fiber cut occurs, triggering the Fiber Doctor to start detection. After the
fiber cut location is detected, this alarm is reported.
● The reference curve is not reset after the fiber repair, and the alarm is not
eliminated.
Procedure
Step 1 Check whether the MUT_LOS alarm is reported. If yes, clear the alarm according
to the handling procedure of the alarm.
Step 2 Based on the fiber cut location detected by the Fiber Doctor, check whether the
fiber connection is normal on the NCE.
Step 3 Check whether fibers are aging, bent, or broken. If yes, coil the fibers again or
replace the faulty fibers.
Step 4 Check whether the fiber connectors are clean. If a fiber connector is contaminated,
clean the fiber end face and properly connect the fiber.
Step 5 Manually start fiber quality detection. Ensure that Detection Mode is not set to
Offline Mode. After the detection result is displayed, click Set as Reference
Curve. Set Detection Mode to Reference Mode and start detection again. For
details, see 5.2 Manually Starting Fiber Quality Monitoring.

10.1 Synchronizing Data on the NCE NMS
10.1 Synchronizing Data on the NCE NMS

After the NetStar O&M is installed or re-deployed, you must synchronize data of
the entire network. After uploading NE data, synchronizing NE data, and
initializing NCE data, you need to synchronize the NMS-side data of the entire
network or the corresponding subnet before commissioning.
Prerequisites
You are an NMS user with "Maintainer Group" authority or higher.
Background Information
If operations such as the adding, deletion, or modification on subnets, sites, NEs,
boards, and fibers are performed during data synchronization, data
synchronization will fail.
NOTE
When backing up the subnet performance data, do not synchronize data from the NE side
to NCE. Otherwise, data synchronization will fail.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Configuration > WDM Optical Management > Parameter
Configuration from the main menu on the NCE Network Management app.
Step 2 Click the Synchronize Data on the NMS tab.

NetStar O&M
Fiber Doctor System User Guide 10 Reference Operations
Step 3 Choose the subnet to be synchronized from the Root navigation tree and click
Start. A confirmation dialog box is displayed.
NOTE
When synchronizing data for the first time after the NetStar O&M component is installed,
you must select Root to synchronize the network-wide data. In other scenarios, you can
select subnets as required to synchronize data.
Step 4 Click Yes. Data synchronization starts.

NOTE
If data share conflicts during data synchronization on the NCE NMS, 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 5 Click OK in the dialog box that is displayed after the synchronization.
NOTE
After the synchronization is completed, the refresh icon turns green. Click to refresh

11.1 Events Cannot Be Parsed After OTDR Detection
11.1 Events Cannot Be Parsed After OTDR Detection

[Symptom]: After OTDR detection, the number of events is 0.
Figure 11-1 No event found after detection
[Analysis]:
This problem occurs probably because:
● The insertion loss of the near-end fiber is too large.
● A fiber cut occurs at the near end.
[Solution]:
Check whether the insertion loss of the near-end optical fiber is excessively large
or the near-end optical fiber is broken. If yes, rectify the fault.
