NOTE
When the WDS/mesh function is enabled on an AP, the blinking frequency of its Wireless LED indicates
the receive signal strength on the WDS/mesh connection by default. After you connect an AP to a WDS/
mesh network, you can run the wifi-light { signal-strength | traffic } command on the AC to make the
Wireless LED blinking frequency indicate receive signal strength or service traffic rate.
lwifi-light signal-strength:
lIf the mesh function is enabled on the AP, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects
the weakest signal strength of all neighboring APs.
lIf WDS is enabled on an AP, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the strength
of signals received from a WDS AP.
lIf the AP works in leaf mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the strength
of signals received from a middle AP.
lIf the AP works in middle mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the
strength of signals received from a root AP.
lIf the AP works in root mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the weakest
signal strength of middle APs.
lwifi-light traffic: allows the Wireless LED to reflect the service traffic volume on the radio.
The Fat AP does not support WDS/Mesh functions; therefore, the Wireless indicator of the Fat AP does
not indicate the signal strength.

4.1 An device Fails to Be Powered On
Fault Description
The SYS indicator of a device is off.
Possible Causes
lThe power sourcing equipment does not support the PoE function or is faulty.
lThe power sourcing equipment is incorrectly configured (the PoE function is disabled or
the power-off time range is improperly set).
lThe line is faulty (the network cable or distribution frame is damaged).
lThe AP is faulty.
Troubleshooting Procedure
1. Check whether the power sourcing equipment supports PoE or is faulty.
2. Check whether the configuration on the power sourcing equipment causes PoE power
supply errors, such as the PoE function is disabled or the power-off time range is incorrectly
set.
3. Check whether the network cable or distribution frame is faulty.
4. If the device still cannot be powered on, the device itself is faulty. Contact Huawei technical
support engineers or Huawei agent and ask them to replace the device.
4.2 An Optical Interface Cannot Turn Up
Fault Description
After an optical interface is connected to a remote device through an optical fiber, its LINK
indicator is off.
Possible Causes
lThe optical fiber is faulty.
lThe optical module on the optical interface cannot meet the requirements.
Troubleshooting Procedure
1. Replace the optical fiber and optical module and check whether the optical interface can
turn Up. Ensure that the optical module meets the following requirements.
2. Determine optical module attributes.
lThe optical module has passed Huawei certification.
lThe transmission speed of the optical module is the same as the interface speed.
lThe wavelength of the optical module is the same as that of the remote optical module.
lThe transmission distance of the optical module is suitable for the actual distance
between the two devices.

NOTE
lThe transmission distance of an optical module is 10 km, 15 km, 20 km, 40 km, or 80 km.
The optical modules with a longer transmission distance have a higher transmit power. If an
optical module with a long transmission distance is used for short-distance transmission, the
optical interface cannot turn Up because the transmit power is too high. The high transmit
power may even burn the receiver of the remote optical module. To reduce the transmit power
in this situation, use an optical attenuator between the optical module and optical fiber.
lOptical modules with different speeds are available, for example, 155 Mbit/s, 622 Mbit/s,
and 1.25 Gbit/s. It is recommended that you use an optical module with the same speed as
the optical interface to ensure efficient optical transmission.
3. If the interface remains Down, contact Huawei technical support.

5.1 On-site Cable Assembly and Installation
5.1.1 Cable Assembly Precautions
Checking the Appearance of Cables
lIf the cable jacket or insulation is visibly dirty, clean it before assembly.
lIf the jacket or insulation of a cable has visible damage, irreparable scuffing, or other
defects, do not use the cable.
lIf the shield layer of a cable is damaged, do not use the cable.
lIf the cable jacket or insulation cracks after the cable is bent or twisted, discard this cable
and check whether other cables have the same problem. If other cables have the same
problem, replace these cables.
Checking the Appearance of Connectors
lDo not use connectors with visible defects, damage, rust or scuffing.
lDo not use connectors if their shells or pins have exposed part or uneven plating, or their
pins are lost, broken, or bent.
lDo not use connectors that have dirt on their pins or in their jacks or if there are conductors
between pins or between pins and the shell.
Precautions for Assembly
lUse dedicated tools or tools delivered by Huawei and follow the methods given here during
assembly.
lHold terminals of cables instead of pulling the cables when installing or removing cable
components.
lTake the following precautions when cutting or stripping cables:
–Make cables slightly longer than necessary.
–Coil cables longer than 2 m (6.56 ft) after cutting. Bind and fasten the coils using
bundling ropes. The inner diameters of the coils should be larger than 20 times the outer
diameters of the cables.
–When stripping the jackets of cables, avoid damaging the shield layers (braid or
aluminum foil), insulation, core conductors, and other jackets that do not need to be
stripped.
–After assembling cables, cut all visible cross sections of jackets to ensure that the cross
sections are arranged neatly.
–Do not touch the core conductors of cables with your hands. Terminate exposed
conductors in a timely way after stripping off insulation so that the surface of the
conductors does not become oxidized.
lTake the following precautions when crimping and connecting cables or connectors:

lThe contact strips must be parallel to each other, with an offset less than ± 5°. The top
margin of a strip must be parallel to the axis of the connector, with an offset less than ±
10°.
lTo ensure conduction, the surface of the contact strips must be clean.
lThe contact strips must be in good contact with the RJ45 socket. The plastic separators
must remain intact and be aligned.
lThe contact strip blade must extend beyond the ends of the wires. The ends of the wires
must be in contact with the edge of the RJ45. The distance between them must be less than
0.5 mm (0.02 in.).
Procedure
Step 1 Hold the crimped connector, with the front side facing you, and check whether the contact strips
are of the same height. The height should be 6.02 ± 0.13 mm (0.237 ± 0.005). If a measuring
tool is not available, you can compare the connector with a standard connector. Figure 5-32
shows an unqualified piece, and Figure 5-33 shows a qualified piece.

Procedure
Step 1 Feed both connectors of the cable into the ports of the cable tester.
Step 2 After the connectors are properly inserted, turn on the tester. If the indicators from 1 to G turn
on simultaneously, you can infer that the pins work normally and the wires are correctly
connected.
NOTE
Turn the switch to the S position to slow down lighting of the indicators so that you can see the indicators
more clearly, as shown in Figure 5-39.

Step 3 Gently shake the connector and repeat Step 2 to check whether the metal contact strips are in
good contact with the core wires and Ethernet ports, as shown in Figure 5-40.
Figure 5-40 Checking the reliability
The procedure for testing a crossover cable is the same as that for testing a straight-through cable
except for the sequence in which the indicators turn on. You need to refer to the wire connections
of a crossover cable.
The Ethernet cable is qualified if the indicators turn on in the following sequence:
At the master (left) section of the tester, the indicators turn on in the sequence of 1-8-G. At the
slave (right) section of the tester, the indicators turn on in the sequence of 3-6-1-4-5-2-7-8-G.
Otherwise, the Ethernet cable is unqualified.

5.1.4 Installing Cable Accessories
Precautions for Installing Cable Accessories
Tools
NOTE
The illustrations in this document may differ from actual situations, but the installation methods remain
the same. For example, in this document, the adapters of cable connectors have separate interfaces. In the
actual situation, the adapters may have interfaces fixed on equipment.
Use dedicated tools provided or specified by Huawei and follow the installation procedure
described here.
Bending Radius
Unless otherwise specified, bending radiuses (R) of cables or fibers must meet the requirements
listed in Table 5-9.
Table 5-9 Bending radiuses of cables or fibers
Cable or Fiber Bending Radius (R)
Ordinary cable In normal cases, R ≥ 2d. When the cable is
connected with a connector, R ≥ 5d.

Cable or Fiber Bending Radius (R)
Fiber R ≥ 40 mm (1.57 in.); Bending angle > 90°
NOTE
The letter d indicates the diameter of a cable or fiber.
Precautions for Installation
lHold the terminals of cables instead of pulling the cables when installing or removing the
cable components.
lDo not insert a connector forcibly when the connector is blocked. Pull out the connector
by using a dedicated tool. Install the connector again after you check that the pins are
inserted properly.
lBefore tightening screws on cable connectors, ensure that the connectors are properly
connected to their adapters. Tighten the screw with appropriate force using a flat-head or
Phillips screwdriver instead of bare hands or an electric screwdriver. If the screw cannot
be screwed into the tapped hole, find out the reason and try again. Do not screw it with too
much force, or the screw or adapter may be damaged.
lWhen removing densely aligned cables or fiber connectors, use dedicated pliers such as
cable-pulling pliers and fiber-pulling pliers.
lDo not twist, bend, stretch, or extrude fibers during installation.
lCover the fiber connectors that are not in use by using dustproof caps. Remove the dustproof
caps before using the fiber connectors.
Requirements for Cable Routing
lTo protect cables, remove the burrs in the cable through-holes or install protective rings in
the holes.
lTo ease the connection and to avoid stress, keep slack at cable joints. After connecting
multiple cables to a connector that has multiple interfaces, keep the cables slack to avoid
stress generation.
lBind or clean cables gently because cable distortion affects signal quality.
lKeep cables away from moveable components such as doors.
lSharp objects must not be touched in cable wiring to ensure that cables are not damaged.
lTo protect power cables, power cables of the active and standby power modules are laid
separately.

voltage by -10% to 5%, or exceeds the voltage range that devices can support, a voltage
regulating device or voltage stabilizing device is required.
lIf the mains do not supply power for the device directly, or if the mains voltage exceeds
the rated voltage by -15% to 10% or exceeds the input voltage range of the DC power
supply, a voltage regulating device or voltage stabilizing device is required.
lAn UPS or inverter power supply system is required to provide uninterrupted AC power

Type and Structure
Label for Signal Cables
The label for signal cables is L-shaped with fixed dimensions, as shown in Figure 5-81.
Figure 5-81 Label for signal cables
To specify more clearly the position of a cable, use the dividing lines on the label. For example,
there is a dividing line between the cabinet number and the chassis number, and another one
between the chassis number and the slot number. The dividing line is 1.5 mm x 0.6 mm (0.06
in. x 0.02 in.) with the color of Pantone 656c (light blue).
The cut dotted line helps to fold the label when affixed to the cable, and its size is 1 mm x 2 mm
(0.04 in. x 0.08 in.).
There is a mark "TO:" (upside down in the figure) at the lower right corner of the label. The
mark is used to identify the opposite end of the cable on which the label is affixed.
Power Cable Label
The label for power cables should be attached to the identification plate on the cable ties that
are attached to the cable. The identification plate has an embossed area 0.2 mm x 0.6 mm (0.008
in. x 0.02 in.) around (symmetric on both sides), and the area in the middle is for affixing the
label, as shown in Figure 5-82.

Label Printing
The contents can be printed or written on the labels. Printing is recommended for the sake of
high efficiency and eye-pleasant layout.
Template for Printing
Use a template to print labels. You can obtain the template from the Huawei local office.
The templates are made in Microsoft Word and the following requirements should be met:

![](/img.php?id=2735147&img=bg73.png)
lWhen using the template, you can directly modify the contents of the template. The settings
of centered characters, direction, and fonts should not be changed.
lWhen there are too many characters to be filled in, zoom out the characters, but make sure
that the printouts are clear and legible.
Merging Cells in the Template
To merge two or more cells, do as follows:
1. Select Edit/Select All.
2. Select Format/Borders and Shading/Borders. Select Box tab and click OK.
3. Drag the mouse to select cells to be merged and select the Table/Merge Cells.
Requirements on the Printer
To print the labels, a laser jet printer must be used, although there is no restriction on the model
of the printer. Before printing the label, set up the page and try printing.
1. Try printing on ordinary paper with both sides blank. Place the blank paper over the whole
page of label paper, and check whether the page setup conforms to the label layout.
2. Make sure the printer properties, such as "paper size" and "direction", have been set
correctly.
lIf the printout conforms to the sheet of labels, print the labels on the label paper.
lIf the printout does not conform, adjust the page setup and try printing again until the
correct printout is produced.
The method of adjusting the page setup is as follows.
1. Select File/Page Setup.
2. Select Layout and set Header and Footer as 0.
3. Select the Margins tab page. Select Left for Gutter Position and adjust the values of Top,
Bottom, Left, and Right.
NOTE
If the warning prompt as shown in Figure 5-83 appears before printing, click Ignore to continue the
printing.
Figure 5-83 Warning prompt before printing
After the page setup has been made correctly, save it for future use. This page setup is only

![](/img.php?id=2735147&img=bg74.png)
Requirements for Feeding the Printer
The label paper consists of two layers and has undergone multiple processing procedures such
as printing and cutting. No matter what model of printer you use, feed in the labels one page at
a time. To avoid jamming the labels, never use the auto-feed mode.
Feed in the label paper in the correct direction to ensure that the text is printed in a correct
position.
Requirements for the Printed Label
Make sure that the printed labels satisfy the following requirements:
lAll the printouts must be on the label, and nothing should be printed on the backing layer
of the label page.
lContents in the cells should be aligned in the center. In a single-line printout, the dividing
lines and the mark "TO:" should not be covered by the printed characters.
lWhen the cells are merged and the printouts are made in multiple lines, avoid covering the
mark "TO:" when printing the texts. Use the space bar to move the text to the next line.
Writing Labels
Writing Tools
To make sure the printouts are clear and legible, use the black markers instead of ball-point pens
to write the labels.
In special cases, black ball-pens are allowed, although not recommended. Compared with ball-
point pens, water-proof markers are better. When writing with a ball-point pen, do not leave the
oil on the label, which may contaminate the label and blur the words.
NOTE
The delivered marker has two nibs. Make sure to use the smaller nib to write the labels.
Font
For the sake of easy recognition and good appearance, the font in handwriting should be as close
to a standard typeface (such as Times New Roman) as possible. Table 5-21 shows the standard
typeface.
Table 5-21 Standard typeface for handwriting

Attaching Labels
After printing or writing the label, remove the label from the page and attach it to the signal
cable, or the identification plate of the power cable. The methods for attaching labels are
described in the following sections.
Label for Signal Cables
lChoose the place to attach labels.
The label is attached 2 cm (0.79 in.) from the connector on a signal cable. In special cases
(for example, to avoid cable bending or affecting other cables), other positions are allowed
to attach the labels. The rectangle part with characters is attached facing right or downward,
as shown in Figure 5-85. The details are as follows:
–The identification card is to the right of the cable in vertical cabling.
–The identification card should be downward when you lay out the cable horizontally.

Contents of Labels for Power Cables
Labels for power cables are only affixed on one side of the identification plates. On the labels,
there is information (the part after the mark "TO:") about the location of the device on the other
end of the cable, like the location of control cabinet, distribution box or power socket.
Contents of Labels for Signal Cables
The two sides of the label affixed on the signal cable carry information about the location of the
ports connected to both ends of the cable. Figure 5-88 shows the information on both sides of
the labels affixed to the signal cables.
lArea 1 contains the location information of the local end of the cable.
lArea 2 (with the mark "TO:") contains the location information of the opposite end of the
cable.
lArea 3 has been folded up inside the label.
Figure 5-88 Printed parts on the label for signal cables
Seen from the cabling end of the equipment, the text part of the label is on the right side of the
cable. The side with "TO:" that is facing outside carries the location information of the opposite
end; and the other side carries the location information of the local end.

Therefore, the information in Area 1 at one end is the same as the information in Area 2 at the
other end of the cable. In other words, the local information at one end is called the opposite
information at the other end.
Precautions for Using Engineering Labels
When using labels, pay attention to the following points:
lWhen printing, writing, or attaching labels, keep the labels clean.
lSince the label paper is made of moistureproof and waterproof material, ink-jet printers
and ink pens are forbidden for printing and writing labels.
lLabels should be attached tidily. New-type labels are L-shaped. If they are pasted at
incorrect locations or in wrong directions, the appearance of the device is affected.
lPower cable ties should be attached in the same positions on power cables, with
identification plates on the same side.
lThe positions of "up", "down", "left" or "right" are all based on the viewpoint of the
engineering person who works on the label.
5.4.2 Engineering Labels for Optical Fibers
These labels are affixed to the optical fibers that connect the optical interfaces on the boards in
a chassis, or on the device boxes. There are two types of labels for optical cables:
lOne is for the fiber that connects the optical interfaces on two devices.
lThe other is for the fiber that connects the device and the ODF.

Engineering Labels for DC Power Cables
The labels are affixed to the DC power cables that provide power supply for cabinets, including
the -48 V, PGND, and BGND cables. Here, the DC power cables also include power cables and
PGND cables.
The labels for DC power cables are affixed to one side of the identification plates on cable ties.
For details of the labels, see Table 5-26.
Table 5-26 Contents of the label
Content Meaning
MN(BC)-
B--48Vn
MN(BC): BC is written right under MN.
B: chassis number, numbered in the bottom-up order with two digits, for
example, 01.
N: power socket number, numbered as 1 to 3 in the bottom-up and left-
to-right orders.
On the loaded cabinet side, only MN is used to identify the cabinet.
On the power cabinet side, MN identifies the row and column number
of the power distribution equipment like a control cabinet and
distribution box, and BC identifies the row and column number of the
-48 V connector. If there is no row number or column number, or the
connector can be identified without them, BC can be omitted. It is
unnecessary for BGND and PGND to identify the row and column
number.
MN(BC)-B-
BGND
MN(BC)-B-
PGND
The label only carries location information about the destination direction of the power cable
while information of the local end is not necessary. That is, the label only carries location
information about the opposite equipment, the control cabinet, or the distribution box. Table
5-26 lists the information on two -48 V power supplies on the label. The information on other
DC voltages, such as 24 V and 60 V should be given in similar methods.
Make sure that labels are affixed in the correction direction. That is, after the cable ties are
bundled onto the cable, the identification plates with the labels should face up, and the text on
the labels in the same cabinet should be in the same direction. For details, see Figure 5-93.

The meaning of the label in Figure 5-93 is as follows:
lOn the loaded cabinet side, the label "A01/B08--48V2" on the cable indicates that the cable
is -48 V DC supply, which is from the eighth connector on row B of -48 V bus bar in the
cabinet on row A, and column 1 in the equipment room.
lOn the distribution box side, the label "B03--48V2" indicates that the cable is -48 V DC
supply, connected to DC power socket 2 on row B, column 03 in the equipment room.
NOTE
In the power distribution box or the first power cabinet of a row in a transmission equipment room, every
terminal block on the -48 V connector bar has a numeric identification. For example, in the above label of
"A01/B08--48V2", "08" (or sometimes "8") is the numeric identification of the terminal block.
PGND and BGND are two copper bars, on which the terminal blocks are short-circuited,
therefore which terminal is connected makes no difference. It is only necessary to give the row
and column of the power distribution box, instead of giving the specific serial number of the
terminal block on the copper bar. For example, if the label on the loaded cabinet side is "A01-
BGND", it means that the power cable is a BGND that connects BGND copper bar in the power
distribution box on Row A, Column 01 in the machine room. Information on the labels for PGND
cables should be given in a similar way.
Engineering Labels for AC Power Cables
The labels are affixed to both ends of an AC power cable that provides AC power supply to
cabinets, including 110/220 V, PGND, and BGND cables. The 110/220 V AC cables and related
PGND and BGND cables are covered with an insulating sheath, so the labels need to contain
only the word "AC" and the cabinet numbers.
The labels for AC power cables are affixed to one side of the identification plates on cable ties.
For details, see Table 5-27.
Table 5-27 Label content
Content Meaning
MN-(B)-ACn MN: serial number of the cabinet or the socket where the power is led in
B: chassis number, numbered in the bottom-up order with two digits, for
example, 01.
n: power port number, numbered as 1 to 3 in bottom-up and left-to-right
order.
Serial number of the socket where the power is led in: the location of the
socket is marked according to the actual situation. If the sockets can be
identified by row numbers and column numbers, they can be numbered
following the same rule for the cabinets. If the sockets cannot be identified
by rows and columns, specify the detailed locations to avoid confusion
with other sockets.
The label only carries location information about the opposite equipment and the power socket;
information about the local end is not necessary.

1. An optical module is not completely installed in position.
If the optical module is not completely installed in position and the latch boss is not secured,
the device cannot identify the optical module. After the optical module works for a long
time, it will be ejected under external stress.
2. The optical receptacle on an optical module is contaminated.
If an optical module is not cleaned or protected properly, contaminants may accumulate on
the fiber pin in the optical module. As a result, the coupling efficiency is reduced, optical
signals are cut off, or even worse, the surface of the fiber pin is damaged permanently.
3. An optical module is burnt.
If large-power optical signals (caused by the OTDR or self-loop test) are transmitted
through an optical module that is used for long-distance transmission but no optical
attenuator is used, the optical power will exceed the overload power of the APD pipe. Then
the optical module is burnt.
The preceding faults lead to temporary or long-term cut-off of optical signals; or even cause
permanent damages to the optical module, affecting communication services.

Measures to Prevent Loosened Optical Module
1. When installing an optical module, insert it into position. If you hear a click or feel a slight
shake, it indicates that the latch boss is secured.
If the latch boss is not secured, the gold finger of the optical module is not in good contact
with the connector on the board. In this case, the link may be connected but optical signals
will be cut off or the optical module will be loosened when the optical module is shook or
crashed.
2. Figure 5-95 shows the release handle on an optical module when it is open and closed.
When inserting the optical module, make sure that the release handle is closed. At this time,
the latch boss locks the optical module. After the optical module is inserted, try pulling it
out to see if it is installed in position. If the optical module cannot be pulled out, it is secured.

Measures to Prevent Receptacle Contamination
1. Cleaning tissues must be prepared on site. You need to clean the optical connector before
inserting it in the receptacle. This protects the receptacle against the contamination on the
surface of the optical connector.
Figure 5-96 Cleaning optical fibers with special cleaning tissues
NOTE
Place at least three cleaning tissues on the work bench. As shown in Figure 5-96, wipe the end of an
optical connector from left to right or from right to left on a cleaning tissue, and then move the
connector end to the unused part of the cleaning tissue to continue.
2. Cover an unused optical module with a protective cap to prevent dust, as shown in Figure
5-97.

Figure 5-97 Installing a protective cap
If no protective cap is available, use fibers to protect the optical module, as shown in Figure
5-98.

3. Cover unused optical connectors with protective caps, as shown in Figure 5-99, and then
lay out fibers on the fiber rack or coil them in a fiber management tray to prevent fibers
from being squeezed.

4. If a receptacle or an optical connector has not been used for a long time and is not covered
with a protective cap, you need to clean it before using it. Clean a receptacle with a cotton
swab, as shown in Figure 5-100. Clean an optical connector with cleaning tissues.

Figure 5-100 Cleaning a receptacle with a cotton swab
NOTICE
When cleaning a receptacle, insert the cotton swab and turn it slowly in the receptacle. Do
not use too much strength because the receptacle may be damaged.
5. If optical signals are lost during the operation of a device, use the preceding method to
clean the receptacle or the optical connector. In this manner, the possibility of contamination
can be excluded.
Measures to Prevent an Optical Module from Being Burnt
1. Before using an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) to test the connectivity or the
attenuation of optical signals, disconnect the optical fibers from the optical module.
Otherwise, the optical module will be burnt.
2. When performing a self-loop test, use an optical attenuator. Do not loosen the optical
connector instead of the optical attenuator.
Precautions
1. The optical connector should be vertically inserted in the receptacle to avoid damages to
the receptacle.
2. Fibers must be inserted into optical modules of the corresponding type. That is, multimode
fibers must be inserted into multimode optical modules, and single mode fibers must be
inserted into single mode optical modules. If a fiber is inserted into an optical module of a
different mode, faults may occur. For example, optical signals will be lost.
