Troubleshooting - Raisecom RC801 User Manual

If there are any problems during installation and using, try the following proposals. If the
problems still can not be solved, please contact distributors/agents for help.
The following explanations and solutions for alarms at optical ports and LOS alarms at E1
ports are used to handling local alarm problems. For remote-end alarms, please handle
them at remote site.
Green PWR indicator not on
Answer: PS faults. Check whether PS is working properly and –48 PS connection is not
reversed.
GL global alarm red indicator on
Answer: there are three different cases.
1£ ® If there are other alarms on, please solve corresponding problem and then clear
GL.
2£ ® If there is no other alarm indicators but only GL alarm on and GL LCK button is
on. This means there was once other alarm on, in this case can clear GL alarm.
3£ ® If all other alarms are "OFF" and the GL LCK button is also "OFF", but GL alarm
indicator still flash or on and there is a HDB3 coding violation alarm in E1
receiving signals. There is problem that E1 link is too long to bring too much
disturbance, so the signal attenuation is beyond –6dB. We can test the level of bit
rate when this E1 link connecting with RC801-480B.
LOS red indicator of optical port is on
Answer: Loss of receiving signal occurs at optical port. Check whether the input fiber (RX)
is connected well and ensure not reversed. Or check the receiving optical power with
optical power test-meter; it should be greater than receiving sensitivity specification.
LOF red indicator of optical port is on
Answer: Loss of frame synchronization of receiving signal at optical port. In this case,
optical signal has been received, but the optical power may be near threshold value of
sensitivity. Check RX optical power and ensure whether the sending optical port (TX) of
remote-site is connected.
E-3 red indicator is on at optical port
Answer: The bit error of optical RX signal is greater than 10
connects well and RX optical power.
E-6 yellow indicator of optical port is on
Answer: The bit error of optical RX signal is greater than 10
occurs for 10 seconds just after turning on the power, after 10 seconds the E-6 indicator will
be off. If E-6 alarm occurs during operation, check whether optical RX port connects well
and RX optical power.
