1. Introduction

In This Chapter

Overview .............................................................................................................. 1

Function in SkyEdgeII Hub .................................................................................. 2

1.1. Overview

This manual describes the new IPE and Modulator unit also known as IPM.

The IPM replaces the SkyEdgeII IPE and Modulator for both DVB-S2 ACM and CCM

networks.

The IPM is fully manageable through standard operations from the NMS where

configuration changes are committed and executed on-the-fly with no need to reboot

except for some predefined global control operations such as changing network segment.

The IPM operates in IPE and Modulator mode (IPE only and Modulator only modes

currently not supported)

The IPM receives IP packets and RCS tables from HSPs, NMS and DPSs through a GE

port. These packets are encapsulated into MPEG2 Transport Stream. This stream is

encapsulated into DVB-S2 BB frames that are sent to the modulator through either ASI

interface (external modulator) or internal interface.

The IPM constantly calculates the available BW that it can send to the modulator based

on the null PID rate, the actual user traffic (Data, Voice and multicast) and the current

average spectral efficiency.

1.2. Function in SkyEdgeII Hub

The IPM is a combination of two major SkyEdgeII hub building blocks: the IPE and the

Modulator.

2.1. IPE

The IPE functions are:

Port Name Number of

ports per OB Type

Base Port

Number MAC Type

Default

PID Priority

NCR 1 Internal - 0x1600** -

NULL 1 Internal - 0x1FFF -

* Currently native multicast traffic uses PID 0x203** from all DPSs

** Configurable PID

1. There are only 14 PIDs per Network Segment (NS) thus 14 PIDs per IPM.

2. The marked numbers relate to the first DPS/HSP in the first NS, and to the NMS of

the first NS.

3. To determine the port numbers when adding devices and Network Segments,

increase the ones (least significant) digit by one for each device and the tenths digit

by one for each NS.

Example: the third DPS Data port in the fourth NS uses TCP port 5043.

4. To determine the DPS beacon IP destination address, increase the last octet (least

significant) by one for each NS.

Example: the DPS Beacon destination IP in the fourth NS uses 224.0.1.24.

5. To determine the Management IP address, increase the second octet by one for each

NS.

Example: the Management destination IP in the fourth NS uses 172.4.x.x.

6. To determine the HSP PID numbers when adding HSPs and Network Segments,

increase the last nibble (least significant) digit by one for each device and the middle

nibble digit by one for each NS.

Example: the third HSP (SPT, SCT, FCT, TCT, TIM, TBTP and CMT) PID in the

fourth NS uses PID 0x843.

2.1.2. Traffic Types and Behavior

The SEII system is characterized by supporting different types of applications under one

outbound/NS in addition to critical network signaling and M&C traffic.



5


The IPM is sensitive to each type requirements and treats each type according to the

characteristics summarized in the following table:

Type Source Port Type Shaping by Sensitivity to

NCR IPM Internal IPM (FPGA) Delay, Jitter and packet loss

Network

Signaling HSP UDP Tunnel HSP Delay and packet loss

M&C NMS, DPS, HSP

IP Fwd NMS, DPS, HSP

Packet loss

Abis DPS UDP Tunnel QoS Delay and Jitter

VoIP DPS UDP Tunnel QoS Delay and Jitter

Multicast DPS UDP Tunnel QoS Delay

User Data DPS TCP Tunnel QoS Packet loss

The IPM uses a Per Type Queue (PTQ) to buffer each type and to prioritize the sensitive

traffic.

IPM fills each spin according to the following order PTQ (Per Type Queue):

1. "Priority 0": User data CIR (configurable parameter)

2. Priority 1: Critical signaling

3. Priority 2: Abis

4. Priority 3: VoIP

5. Priority 4: Non-critical management

6. Priority 5: Multicast

7. Priority 6: User data



6


2.1.3. Discard Policy

The discard policy is as follows:

1. Real time (VoIP and Abis) packets that wait in the PTQ for more than two spin time

length +10 ms are discarded.

2. Multicast packets that wait in the PTQ for more than spin time length +100 ms are

discarded.

3. User data is not discarded due to TCP flow control.

2.2. Modulator

The IPM Modulator (incorporated in FPGA) supports both the CCM and ACM

functionalities of the DVB-S2 standard (EN 302 307).

1. Symbol rates are 300KSps 45MSps.

2. Support NCR stamping for DVB-RCS return channel according to the N+2 scheme.

3. The modulator input to the block is in BB frames format with in band MODCOD

signaling for ACM.

4. The modulator output is L-Band over 50 Ohm SMA interface with an additional

monitor output.

2.3. Physical View

The following diagram illustrates the IPM Physical entities on IPM board:



7


Figure 2: IPM Board Components

2.3.1. Board

The board includes all the physical connections, interfaces and indications.

2.3.2. Modulator

The modulator is incorporated in FPGA.

The modulator is responsible for the digital processing of BB frame to PL frame (FEC

encoding and interleaving, etc.).

2.3.3. RF

The RF component is responsible for the analog transmission of PL frame to L-band and

the output power and frequency control.



8


2.3.4. FPGA

The FPGA component is responsible for the following:

1. MODCOD scheduling (in ACM)

2. NCR generation

3. BB frames generation (IP encapsulation)

2.3.5. CPU

The CPU (SW) is responsible for the following:

1. Management (configuration, telemetries, commands)

2. Data path

3. IP scheduling (building spins of data from incoming LAN ports)

2.4. System Flow

The following flowchart shows the main blocks and major input and outputs of the IPM.

The IPM is divided to two major sections:

Management

Data

The following diagram shows the links between the management and data parts to the

other system components.

Figure 3: IPM Physical Description

2.5. LAN Ports IP scheme

The LAN ports have one connection to which there is a need to set the IP address:

To the management

Data port IP is automatically obtained from the NS.

2.5.1. Data Port IP Address

For NS 1: data port IP address 172.23.1.1 and MAC address 00:A0:AC:11:E9:5E.

Rule for data port IP address based on NS: increment last octet of IP and MAC by (NS-

1).

Example: for NS 7 data port IP address: 172.23.1.7 and MAC address

00:A0:AC:11:E9:64.

2.5.2. Management Port IP Address

For NS 1: IPM 1 management port IP address 172.17.1.11, IPM 2 management port IP

address 172.17.1.12.

Rule for management port IP address based on NS: increment last octet of IP by

(10*(NS-1)).



10


Example: for NS 7 IPM 1 I management port IP address 172.17.1.71, IPM 2 management

port IP address 172.17.1.72.

Architecture and Environment ............................................................................ 11

Performance ....................................................................................................... 11

Redundancy Traps and Health-Check ................................................................. 11

Operational ......................................................................................................... 12

3.1. Redundancy Overview

All outbound components support sufficient control and monitoring using SNMP.

3.2. Architecture and Environment

IPM is a modulator and IPE devices combined, developed by Gilat. The redundancy ratio

is 1:1 per Network Segment.

3.3. Performance

Any element status change is detected within ten seconds.

The overall switchover time takes no more than 30 seconds, 20 seconds from the time a

status change is detected until the components are fully configured after the switchover.

3.4. Redundancy Traps and Health-Check

For redundancy support, IPM uses following traps:

LAN port Status for every change in the IPM Data port LAN status, IPM sends

traps to the NMS.

Output status (L-band or ASI) When there is no output on the L-Band RF out or

ASI out, the IPM sends major trap to the NMS. For every change in the IPM RF out

state, the IPM sends trap to the NMS.

When the IPM has a critical or major error that prevents normal operation, the IPM

sends major trap to the NMS.

If the NMS does not receive an answer to a health-check from the IPM, the IPM icon

indicates critical error.



12


3.5. Operational

The IPM is managed via the NMS. When it is paired to a twin element it has a different

icon to indicate it:

Figure 4: Twin IPM Element Icon

3.5.1. Unpair Twin Element

To unpair the twin element into two different elements, right click the IPM icon and

select CommandsUnpair Twin Elements.

The two IPM units are then represented by a single icon for each element; each indicates

what chain it belongs to:

7.1. CLI Commands Overview

All CLI commands are available in operational software unless specifically stated

otherwise.

To use the CLI commands, connect a cable from the IPM console port to the PC serial

port.



41


The CLI commands are accessible through serial port to console or through telnet on the

management PC.

The commands available for the IPM from CLI are detailed herein:

7.2. Operational Software Upload

To use TFTP in order to load operational software from a binary file, perform the

following CLI sequence in Console: boot set holdoff

network set localIp

network start loclIp

tftp set session

0 for MNG LAN interface, 1 for DATA LAN

interface

Interface IP to be set

Operational software version (must be

different than previous entered version)

TFTP server IP

Operational software binary file name

(without extension)

Once this sequence ends, the system runs an operational software. If entered

differs from the version that resides in board flash memory, the new version is saved in

place of the old operational software version.

7.3. Switching to Stand Alone Mode

Use the following CLI sequence in console in order to start Stand Alone mode in

Operational mode (assuming board is detached from NMS): sa set ns [network segment]

sa ipconfig mng

sa exec go

[network segment] optional: to test different network segments

default is 1

management IP - needed, if no management IP

is set in flash
