Configuring Two HRM 7121 Receivers as a Redundant Pair

MAXLink HRM 7121 Optical Receiver Product Manual Rev A (5/06) 3–9

3.10 Configuring Two HRM 7121 Receivers as a Redundant PairThis section provides instructions for configuring HRM 7121 receivers as redundant pairs. If you are configuring the HRM 7121 to operate independently, you can skip this section.

Each HRM 7121 receiver can be configured in one of the following ways:

• As an independent, standalone unit (not connected to another unit)• As the primary unit in a redundant pair (connected to a backup unit)• As the backup unit in a redundant pair (connected to a primary unit)

In a redundant pair configuration, you use one unit for primary fiber paths and a second unit for backup fiber paths. Normally, the primary receiver mutes the RF output of the backup receiver. If the primary receiver is in alarm (the optical input level on the primary receiver falls below –10 dBm, the optical power low alarm threshold), the primary receiver activates (unmutes) the backup receiver and mutes itself.

When the primary receiver’s optical input level rises above the optical alarm limit, it removes the unmute command from the backup receiver and the backup receiver returns to its default muted state.

Use the Primary/Backup cable (included with the HRM 7121) to connect the two units of the redundant pair. One end of the cable is labeled Primary, the other end is labeled Backup.

To configure two HRM 7121 receivers as a redundant pair:

1. Install both HRM 7121 receivers.2. Connect the Primary end of the Primary/Backup cable to the

Primary/Backup connector of the primary receiver. The Primary/Backup connector is located on the rear panel of the HRM 7121, as shown in Figure 3-1 on page 3-1.

3. Connect the Backup end of the Primary/Backup cable to the Primary/Backup connector of the backup receiver.

3.11 Connecting the TTL Alarm CableThe TTL-compatible alarm port is an RJ-11 connector located on the rear panel, as shown in Figure 3-1 on page 3-1.

You can use the TTL alarm port to connect the HRM 7121 to other devices, in order to monitor alarms on the HRM 7121.

Two pins are used for the alarm:

• Pin 3 is the ground.• Pin 4 is the TTL alarm output. When an alarm is present, the level of the

signal from Pin 4 goes high, sending a 5-volt signal. When there is no alarm from the HRM 7121, the signal from Pin 4 stays low.

3.12 Connecting the Ethernet CableYou can connect the HRM 7121 to your TCP/IP network, so that you can monitor and control the receiver remotely.

After you have completed the installation procedures described in this chapter, you can use a network management system (NMS) or a web browser to monitor and control the HRM 7121.

To connect the Ethernet cable:

1. Connect an Ethernet cable between the receiver’s RJ-45 Ethernet port and your TCP/IP network. The Ethernet port is located on the rear panel of the receiver, as shown in Figure 3-1 on page 3-1.

2. Verify that the green Link LED is illuminated, which means there is a connection. The Link LED is located above the Ethernet port.

3.13 Assigning IP AddressesIP addresses must be assigned to the HRM 7121 receiver, so that NMSs and web browsers can communicate with it. You can use the front panel to assign the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

NOTE: IP addresses are unique in a local Ethernet system network. If you do not know the IP addresses of the HRM 7121, contact your system administrator.

To assign an IP address:

1. Scroll through the menus until the display reads HRM Adjustments, then press [ENT] to enter the HRM Adjustments menu.

2. Press until the display reads Adjust Unit Address, then press [ENT]. The display reads Adjust IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx #

3. Use the number keys to type the IP address of the HRM 7121, then press [ENT].

4. Press once. The display reads Adjust Subnet Mask: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx #

5. Use the number keys to type the subnet mask of the HRM 7121, then press [ENT].

3.15 Adjusting the RF Output Power LevelAfter completing installation of the HRM 7121, you can perform the following procedure to adjust the RF output power level to your specifications.

Because the RF output level depends on optical received power, any EDFA output power and optical pads along the link must be finalized before adjusting the HRM 7121 output power. Output power also varies with the optical modulation index from the transmitter at the headend. Therefore, the transmitter must be adjusted first.

To adjust the RF output power level:

1. Connect a spectrum analyzer or an RF power meter to the RF monitor using a short cable.

2. Read the detected RF power. The RF monitor level is 20 dB below the output level of the receiver, ±1 dB.

3. Adjust the RF output level to your specifications by using the front panel interface (see Section 2.2.2 HRM Adjustments Menu on page 2-7).If you use an RF power meter, it measures composite (total) RF power rather than power per channel. You need to calculate the average power per channel based on measured composite power, number of analog channels, number of digital channels, and digital channel level. Table 3-2 provides examples.

5Connecting the HRM 7121 to an NMS

Once the HRM 7121 is operating, you can use a network management system (NMS) to monitor and control it. This chapter tells you what steps to take to connect the HRM 7121 to an NMS.

For instructions on installing, configuring, and operating an NMS, please refer to the documentation for the NMS.

MAXLink receivers have an embedded SNMP agent that enables communication between the HRM 7121 and any devices that support SNMP versions 1, 2, or 3.

To connect the HRM 7121 to an NMS:

1. Complete the installation procedures described in Chapter 3, Installing the HRM 7121 Receiver. To connect to an NMS, the HRM 7121 must be connected to your IP network as described in Section 3.12 Connecting the Ethernet Cable on page 3-10, and IP addresses must have been assigned to the HRM 7121 as described in Section 3.13 Assigning IP Addresses on page 3-10.

2. Determine the IP address of the HRM 7121.3. Determine your default access rights for different versions of the SNMP

protocol. The default access rights for SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3 are shown in Table 5-1 and Table 5-2.

4. Locate and compile the Harmonic MIB (management information base) files for the HRM 7121. Feed the MIBs for the HRM 7121 into your NMS’s MIB compiler.

5. Add the HRM 7121 as an SNMP trap target in your NMS, so that the NMS receives SNMP notifications from the HRM 7121.

6Maintenance and Troubleshooting

This chapter describes:

• Alarms for the HRM 7121• How to clean fiber optic connectors• How to return the unit for service• Manufacturer disclaimer

NOTE: The HRM 7121 does not include any customer-serviceable components.

6.1 HRM 7121 AlarmsTable 6-1 describes the alarms for the HRM 7121. When an alarm condition exists, the Alarm LED illuminates on the front panel.

6.2 Cleaning Fiber Optic ConnectorsDANGER: The fiber cable carries invisible laser radiation. AVOID

EXPOSURE TO THE BEAM. Never operate a unit that has a broken fiber or a disconnected fiber connector.

Dirty optical connectors are the leading source of poor performance in a broadband optical fiber network. Dirty optical connectors lead to optical signal loss and reflections, which in turn can seriously degrade carrier-to-noise (CNR) performance and, in some cases, distortion performance.

Therefore, Harmonic recommends that you clean all mating fiber connectors, before connecting them to an optical device.

Table 6-1: HRM 7121 Alarms

Alarm Description

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

6–2 Copyright © 2006 Harmonic Inc.

In addition, if you suspect that the optical connector of an HRM 7121 may have been exposed to contamination (by a dirty fiber cable connector, for example), you should properly clean the HRM 7121 optical connector before connecting the optical fiber.

CAUTION: Improper cleaning of an optical connector can do more harm than good. Never spray a clean-air product onto the surface of an optical connector. Spraying air onto an optical connector can cause condensation on the connector surface, leaving water spots and trapping dust. Failing to wipe a connector on dry lens paper immediately after wiping on paper wet with isopropyl alcohol can also lead to condensation on the connector. Using low-grade cleaning paper or other cloth to wipe an optical connector can leave microscopic fibers on the optical connector surface.

6.2.1 Cleaning Patch Cord or Pigtail Fiber Optical Connectors

To clean optical connectors, Harmonic recommends using a fiber optic connector cleaning cartridge (such as NTT Cletop). If a cleaning cartridge is not available, follow these steps.

To clean the optical connector of a patch cord or pigtail:

1. Fold a piece of unused dry lens cleaning paper twice, for a four-ply thickness.

2. Use a drop of high-grade isopropyl alcohol to wet part of the paper.3. Lay the connector on the lens cleaning paper with the tip touching the

paper.4. In one continuous motion, pull the connector from the wet part of the

paper to the dry part.

6.2.2 Cleaning MAXLink Receiver Optical Connectors

To clean the optical connector of a MAXLink receiver:

1. Release the internal optical connector from the internal bulkhead adaptor. The end of the internal fiber connector can now be cleaned.When the fiber connector is extended from the unit, take care to prevent twisting or rotating the connector in order to prevent possible fiber damage.

2. Fold a piece of unused dry lens cleaning paper twice, for a four-ply thickness.

3. Use a drop of high-grade isopropyl alcohol to wet part of the paper.4. In one continuous motion, pull the connector from the wet part of the

paper to the dry part.5. Once the cleaning is complete, re-insert the internal fiber connector into

the bulkhead adaptor and press the two parts together carefully.
