General on Alcatel-Lucent Customer Documentation

This paragraph describes in general the Alcatel–Lucent Customer Documentation system, details the association between the product levels and the associated documentation, and explains Customer Doc-umentation characteristics as well as the policies for its delivery and updating.

Customer–Independent Standard Customer Documentation

a) DefinitionStandard Customer Documentation, referred to hereafter, must be always meant as plant–indepen-dent and is always independent of any Customization.Plant–dependent and/or Customized documentation, if envisaged by the contract, is subjected to commercial criteria as far as contents, formats and supply conditions are concerned.N.B. Plant–dependent and Customized documentation is not described here.

b) Aims of standard Customer DocumentationStandard system, hardware and software documentation is meant to give the Customer personnel the possibility and the information necessary for installing, commissioning, operating, and maintain-ing the equipment according to Alcatel–Lucent Laboratory design and Installation Dept. choices. In particular:• the contents of the chapters associated to the software applications focus on the explanation

of the man–machine interface and of the operating procedures allowed by it;• maintenance is described down to faulty PCB location and replacement.N.B. No supply to Customers of design documentation (like PCB hardware design andproduction documents and files, software source programs, programming tools, etc.) is envisaged.

Product levels and associated Customer Documentation

a) ProductsA “product” is defined by the network hierarchical level where it can be inserted and by the whole of performances and services that it is meant for.E.g. 9500 MPR is a product.

b) Product-releasesA ”product” evolves through successive “product–releases”, which are the real products marketed for their delivery at a certain ”product–release” availability date. A certain ”product–release” performs more functionalities than the previous one.E.g. Rel.1.0 and Rel.2.0 are two successive “product–releases” of the same “product”.A “product–release” comprehends a set of hardware components and at least one “Software Pack-age” (SWP); as a whole, they identify the possible network applications and the equipment perfor-mances that the specific “product–release” has been designed, engineered, and marketed for.

c) Configurations and Network ElementsIn some cases, a “product–release” includes different possible “configurations” which are distin-guished from one another by different “Network Element” (NE) types and, from the management point of view, by different SWPs.

d) SWP releases, versions, and CD–ROMs• Each SWP is distributed by means of a specific SWP CD–ROM.• A SWP is identified by its “Denomination”, “P/N” (Part Number) and “CS” (Change Status), that

are printed on the CD–ROM’s label:– the first and second digits of the “Denomination” (e.g. 2.0) correspond to the “HW product–

release” number;– the third digit of the of the “Denomination” (e.g. 2.0.2) identifies the Version Level of the

SWP.

User Manual

Preface

9500 MPR-E Rel. 3.0.0

3DB 18793 EAAA Issue 114/280

• A SWP with new Version Level, providing main features in addition to those of the previous Ver-sion Level SWP, is distributed by means of a SWP CD–ROM having new “Denomination”,“P/N” (Part Number), and “CS” restarting from 01

• A SWP patch version, if any, is created to correct SW bugs, and/or to add minor features, andis distributed by means of a SWP CD–ROM, that can be identified:– by the same “P/N” of the former CD–ROM, but with an incremented “CS” number

(e.g.CS=02 instead of previous CS=01)– or by a new “P/N”, and “CS” restarting from 01.

Handbook Updating

The handbooks associated to the "product-release" are listed in “History“ on page 12.

Each handbook is identified by: – the name of the "product–release" (and "version" when the handbook is applicable to the versions

starting from it, but not to the previous ones), – the handbook name, – the handbook Part Number, – the handbook edition (usually first edition=01),– the handbook issue date. The date on the handbook does not refer to the date of print but to the date

on which the handbook source file has been completed and released for the production.

Changes introduced in the same product–release (same handbook P/N)

The edition and date of issue might change on future handbook versions for the following reasons:

– only the date changes (pointed out in the Table of Contents) when modifications are made to the edi-torial system not changing the technical contents of the handbook.

– the edition, hence the date, is changed because modifications made concern technical contents. In this case:

• the changes with respect to the previous edition are listed in “History” on page 12;• in affected chapters, revision bars on the left of the page indicate modifications in text and draw-

ings.

Changes concerning the technical contents of the handbook cause the edition number increase (e.g. from Ed.01 to Ed.02). Slight changes (e.g. for corrections) maintain the same edition but with the addition of a version character (e.g. from Ed.02 to Ed.02A). Version character can be used for draft or proposal edi-tions.

NOTES FOR HANDBOOKS RELEVANT TO SOFTWARE APPLICATIONSHandbooks relevant to software applications (typically the Operator's Handbooks) are not modified unless the new software "version" distributed to Customers implies man-machine interface changes or in case of slight modifications not affecting the understanding of the explained procedures.

Moreover, should the screen prints included in the handbook contain the product–release's "version" marking, they are not replaced in the handbooks related to a subsequent version, if the screen contents are unchanged.

Supplying updated handbooks to Customers

Supplying updated handbooks to Customers who have already received previous issues is submitted to commercial criteria.By updated handbook delivery it is meant the supply of a complete copy of the handbook new issue (sup-plying errata-corrige sheets is not envisaged).

3DB 18793 EAAA Issue 1 15/280

Changes due to new product version

A new product version changes the handbook P/N and the edition starts from 01. In this case the modified parts of the handbook are not listed.

Customer documentation on CD-ROM

In the following by 'CD-ROM' it is meant 'Customer Documentation on CD-ROM'

Contents, creation and production of a CD-ROM

In most cases, a CD-ROM contains in read-only eletronic format the documentation of one product-release(-version) and for a certain language.In some other cases, the same CD-ROM can contain the documentation of different product-release(-ver-sion)s for a certain language.

As a general rule:

– CD-ROMs for Network Management products do not contain:

• the Installation Guides

• the documentation of system optional features that Customers could not buy from Alcatel-Lucent together with the main applicative SW.

– CD-ROMs for Network Elements products do not contain:

• the documentation of system optional features (e.g. System Installation Handbooks related to racks that Customers could not buy from Alcatel-Lucent together with the main equipment).

A CD-ROM is obtained collecting various handbooks and documents in .pdf format. Bookmarks and hyperlinks make the navigation easier. No additional information is added to each handbook, so that the documentation present in the CD-ROMs is exactly the same the Customer would receive on paper.

The files processed in this way are added to files/images for managing purpose and a master CD-ROM is recorded.

Suitable checks are made in order to have a virus-free product.

After a complete functional check, the CD-ROM image is electronically transferred to the archive of the Production Department, so that the CD-ROM can be produced and delivered to Customers.

Use of the CD-ROM

The CD-ROM can be used both in PC and Unix WS environments.

The CD-ROM starts automatically with autorun and hyperlinks from the opened “Index" document permit to visualize the .pdf handbooksOther hyperlinks permit to get, from the Technical handbooks, the specific .pdf setting documents.

In order to open the .pdf documents Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 4.0 (minimum) must have been installed on the platform.The CD-ROM doesn't contain the Adobe Acrobat Reader program. The Customer is in charge of getting and installing it.ReadMe info is present on the CD-ROM to this purpose.

Then the Customer is allowed to read the handbooks on the PC/WS screen, using the navigation and zooming tools included in the tool, and to print selected parts of the documentation through a local printer.

User Manual

CD-ROM identification

Each CD-ROM is identified:

1) by external identifiers, that are printed on the CD-ROM upper surface:– the name of the "product-release(s)" (and "version" if applicable) – a writing indicating the language(s),– the CD-ROM Part Number), – the CD-ROM edition (usually first edition=01)

2) and, internally, by the list of the source handbooks and documents (P/Ns and editions) by whose collection and processing the CD-ROM itself has been created.

CD-ROM updating

The list of source handbook/document P/Ns-editions indicated in previous para. point 2) , in association with the CD-ROM's own P/N-edition, is also loaded in the Alcatel-Information-System as a structured list.Whenever a new edition of any of such handbooks/documents is released in the Alcatel-Lucent archive system, a check in the Alcatel-Information-System is made to identify the list of CD-ROMs that must be updated to include the new editions of these handbooks/documents.This causes the planning and creation of a new edition of the CD-ROM.

Updating of CD-ROMs always follows, with a certain delay, the updating of the single handbooks com-posing the collection.

2.1 9500 Family overview

9500MPR introduces new elements to the microwave packet family. The most compact IDU solutions (MSS-1c) for E1 and Ethernet hybrid connectivity as well as with a zero footprint solution (no IDU) addressing full out-door applications. The new set of multipurpose ODUs, the MPT addressing any appli-cation in the microwave domain. Stand alone as well as coupled in split mount solutions applications depending on the network requirement and layout. The MPT is available in a variety of flavors to address in the most cost effective the different part of the network, this also include millimeter wavelength.

The 9500 Microwave Packet Radio (MPR) is a microwave digital radio family that supports both PDH and packet data (Ethernet) for migrating from TDM to IP. The 9500 MPR provides a generic, modular IP platform for multiple network applications (including 2G/3G/HSDPA/WiMAX backhauling to Metro Ethernet areas) to accommodate broadband services. The 9500 MPR radio family supports low, medium, and high capacity applications using European data rates, frequencies, channel plans, and tributary interfaces:

– TDM/PDH Data Rates: E1

– ATM Data Rates: E1

– Ethernet Data Speed: 10, 100, 1000 Mb/s

– RF Frequency Range: 6 to 38 GHz

Three types of Indoor Units are available:

1) MSS-8, a 2U shelf, connected to an outdoor RF unit (split mount system). Supported ODUs:– ODU300– MPT-HC/MPT-HC V2– MPT-MC

User Manual


9500 MPR-E Rel. 3.0.0

3DB 18793 EAAA Issue 1 31/280

2) MSS-4, one 1U shelf, connected to an outdoor RF unit (split mount system). Supported ODUs:– ODU300– MPT-HC/MPT-HC V2– MPT-MC

3) MSS-1c. Compact IDU that complements the existing portfolio addressing the last mile, the far end application in nodal solution and cost optimized point-to-point applications. Its small size of 1U height and half rack width drastically reduces the space consumption in busy sites. Supported ODUs:– MPT-HC/MPT-HC V2– MPT-MC

MPT is a new multipurpose ODU to address any microwave application, extremely compact in size pro-viding:

– MPT-MC: 155 Mbps max.

– MPT-HC/MPT-HC V2: 340 Mbps max.

MPT-xx can be deployed in stand-alone configuration (9500 MPR-e) or it can be deployed in split mount solution connected to any MSS-x IDU.

– Up to 12 MPT connected to an MSS-8; highest density ever

– Up to 6 MPT connected to an MSS-4; highest density ever

– Up to 2 MPT-HC/MPT-HC V2/MPT-MC connected to MSS-1c (up to 1 limited in the current version)

9500 MPR-e it is the stand alone, full outdoor application of the MPT xx to address full Ethernet site back-hauling (fix or mobile alike) and to address converged MPLS metro networks reducing the number of deployed equipment.

The 9500 MPR innovative solutions mainly are:

[1] Multiservice aggregation layer: the capacity to use Ethernet as a common transmission layer to transport any kind of traffic, independently by the type of interface. Ethernet becomes the conver-gence layer.

[2] Service awareness: traffic handling and quality management, queuing traffic according to the type of service assigned, independently by the type of interface

[3] Packet node: no service aggregation limits with all traffic aggregated in packets, in term of: capacity, type of service requirements and type of interface

[4] Service-driven adaptive modulation: fully exploit the air bandwidth in its entirety by changing mod-ulation scheme according to the propagation availability and allocate transport capacity, discrimi-nating traffic by different services, only possible in a packet-based environment.

[1] Multiservice aggregation layer

Figure 1. Multiservice Aggregation Layer

9500 MPR aggregates and carries over a COMMON PACKET LAYER: TDM 2G, 3G and IP/Ethernet. This allows sharing of common packet transmission infrastructures, regardless of the nature of carried traffic.

Due to the nature of Ethernet, each service can be discriminated based on several parameters like quality of service.

Mapping different access technologies over Ethernet is achieved by standardized protocols like circuit emulation and pseudo-wire.

[2] Service awareness

Figure 2. Service Awareness

Service awareness means the ability to discriminate the different traffic types carried over the converged Ethernet stream. The traffic flow can be composed by E1 and/or IP/Eth, coming from different sources, and therefore having different requirements.

Service awareness is what allows identifying the traffic types, and in case of the non real time variable bit rate one, optimize the band with overbooking of the radio scarce resource.

[3] Packet node

Figure 3. Packet Node

9500 MPR offers a SINGLE PACKET MATRIX able to switch, aggregate and handle any of the possible incoming traffic types with virtually no capacity limits (up to 10 GBps).

[4] Service-driven adaptive modulation

Figure 4. Service-driven Packet Adaptive Modulation

Traffic with high priority will always have bandwidth available, like voice (deterministic approach).

2.6.7 MPT-HC/MPT-HC V2/MPT-MC with external diplexer (7/8 GHz)

The diplexer included in the available BRANCHING assemblies refers to ITU–R F.385, 386 and RF special CUSTOMERS channelling with Tx/Rx separation specified in following Table 14. and Table 19. Each diplexer is a 3-port passive device with two band–pass filters as described hereafter.

Each BRANCHING assembly has two different variants by duplex spacing, depending on the RF_Tx out-put frequency band as described on the table below:

3DB Variant Channel

3DB xxxxx AAXX 1_1p

3DB xxxxx ABXX 2_2p

The arrangement between each filters on the same branching device is described below:

WARNING: f1, f2, f3 and f4 frequencies of the branching filters refer to the extreme channel frequencies and not to the cut–off frequencies of the filters.

2.7 Functional description

2.7.1 MPT-HC

MPT-HC (Microwave Packet Transport) is a Microwave Equipment capable to transport the Ethernet traf-fic over an RF radio channel.

The MPT-HC includes a waveguide antenna port, type-N female connector for the DC connection, a main-tenance connector (with captive protection cap) for RSSI access, 1 electrical GE interface and a ground-ing stud.

N.B. The 1 GE interface for RPS is not used.

The MPT-HC can be installed on an integrated antenna or on standard poles, wall or pedestal mount, with an appropriate fastening system.

The MPT-HC (with a solar shield) incorporates the complete RF transceiver and can be associated with an integrated or separate antenna.

The cabinet is a very compact and robust weatherproof (IP 67) container, designed to be compatible with hot and very sunny climatic zones.

The MPT-HC can be rapidly installed on standard poles with an appropriate fastening system. The pole mounting is the same from 6 to 38 GHz.

The MPT-HC is fixed by means of quick latches. This system allows to change the MPT-HC without alter-ing antenna pointing.

For 6 GHz & 7/8 GHz, the MPT-HC polarization is determined by the rotation of the MPT-HC (1+0 con-figuration).

For 11 GHz to 38 GHz, the MPT-HC polarization is determined by the rotation of the polarization rotator fitted in the antenna port of the MPT-HC (1+0 configuration).

Three mechanical solutions are adopted:

[1] with embedded diplexer for cost optimisation (11 GHz to 38 GHz), where the branching (diplexer) is internal to the MPT-HC cabinet; this type of MPT-HC is identified by one Logistical Item only;

[2] with embedded diplexer for cost optimisation and different mechanics from 11-38 GHz (6 GHz), where the branching (diplexer) is internal to the MPT-HC cabinet; this type of MPT-HC is identified by one Logistical Item only;

[3] with external diplexer: due to a vary high number of shifters the diplexer is external for the flexibility of the shifter customization (7 GHz and 8 GHz), where MPT-HC is composed by two independent units: the BRANCHING assembly (containing the diplexer) and the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly (containing the RF section); each of this type of MPT-HC is identified by two Logistical Items, one for the BRANCHING assembly and another for the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly. To read the BRANCHING assembly identification label it is necessary to separate the BRANCHING assembly from the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly.

MPT-HC is broken down to the following sections:

– MPT-CB: Common Belt section. This section is Frequency independent, and all the features relevant to this unit are common to all the MPT RF options.

– MPT-RF: Radio Frequency section that is frequency dependent.

Figure 18. MPT system

The MPT-HC interface is based on a Gb Ethernet, that can be either optical or electrical depending on the needs and the cable length. If the optical port has/have to be used (data and/or RPS port), the cor-responfing SFP plug-in must be installed by opening the Cobox.

N.B. In the current release the RPS port is not used.

2.7.2 MPT-HC V2

MPT-HC V2 is similar to MPT-HC from architecture standpoint and can be used as spare part of the MPT-HC. The differences vs MPT-HC are:

– MPT-HC V2 can be natively Ethernet powered through a proprietary PFoE

– MPT-HC V2 is capable to host external modules (RPS module or XPIC_RPS module)

N.B. With release MPR3.0, the presence of one of the 2 modules is mandatory.

Two mechanical solutions are adopted:

[1] with embedded diplexer for cost optimisation (6 GHz and 11 GHz to 38 GHz), shown in Figure 25., where the branching (diplexer) is internal to the MPT-HC V2 cabinet; this type of MPT-HC V2 is iden-tified by one Logistical Item only;

[2] with external diplexer: due to an high number of shifters the diplexer is external for the flexibility of the shifter customization (7 GHz and 8 GHz), where MPT-HC V2 is composed by two independent units: the BRANCHING assembly (containing the diplexer) and the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly (containing the RF section); each of this type of MPT-HC V2 is identified by two Logistical Items, one for the BRANCHING assembly and another for the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly. To read the BRANCHING assembly identification label it is necessary to separate the BRANCHING assembly from the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly.

2.7.4 Power Injector

General

MPT- MC is powered through an electrical Ethernet cable from the Power Injector.

The Power Injector is an indoor device designed to deliver the DC power supply to MPT-MC by using the same cable carrying the Ethernet traffic.

The Power Injector receives at the input the Ethernet traffic and the power supply on two dedicated con-nectors and sends to the output on one connector the Power Supply + Ethernet Traffic. This solution, called PFoE (Power Feed over Ethernet), is proprietary.

The Power Injector can supply up to 2 MPT.

The two Power Supply Sources provide power supply redundancy.

Main functions of the injector

– Securization of two DC power inputs from -48V battery– Low pass filtering– Insertion of the DC voltage on two Ethernet streams to power two MPT units– Surge protection on both Ethernet output ports (K44 & K45)

Power Injector versions

Two versions are available:

1) Power Injector plug-in: installed in the SAR shelf and powered through the backplane.

Figure 28. Power Injector plug-in

The Power Injector plug-in is not managed by SAR. The Plug-in just needs an empty slot to be inserted in. As consequence, no specific commissioning activity is needed to insert a Power Injector plug-in on a existing SAR shelf.

2) Power Injector box: stand-alone box, powered through two connectors on the front providing power supply redandancy. The box can be mounted in a rack by means of a separate bracket. The bracket can support two boxes side by side. Height: 1,3 U.

2.7.5 Power Extractor

The Power Extractor is an Outdoor Device, to be installed close to the MPT-HC, which receives on one cable the “Power Feed over Ethernet” (Ethernet traffic and Power Supply), provided by the Power Injector, and separates the Power Supply from the Ethernet traffic to be separately sent to the MPT-HC.

Figure 31. shows the Power Extractor.

Figure 31. Power Extractor

The Power Extractor has 3 connectors:

– DC+DATA In (PFoE from the Power Injector)

– DC Out (Power Supply to MPT-HC)

2.7.6 Radio Transmission Features with MPT-HC/MPT-HC V2/MPT-MC

2.7.6.1 Frequency Agility

The Frequency Agility feature gives the Operator the possibility to set via MCT the frequency of a single Transceiver within a chosen sub–band to select the RF working channel. This implies benefits for spare parts, order processing and frequency co–ordination.

2.7.6.2 Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC)

The Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) function automatically increases or decreases the trans-mit output power upon request from the opposite terminal. The opposite terminal constantly monitors Receive Signal Level (RSL), receive signal quality, and aggregate Bit Error Rate (BER) of the receive sig-nal.

When the ATPC is Enabled the transmit output will remain at it's lowest level until a fade occurs (or a receive circuit alarm is detected). When the change in RSL is detected at the receive end, a command is sent to the transmit end to increase power in 1 dB steps to it's highest level. After the fade is over, the receive end commands the transmit power to decreases in 1 dB steps to the lowest level.

The ATPC range (high and low limits) is variable, determined by link distance, link location, and link fre-quency. When ATPC Enabled is checked, the range values are shown in parenthesis (minimum - maxi-mum) following ATPC Range.

When the ATPC is disabled the transmit output will always operate at the power value set by the MCT.

2.7.6.3 Transmitted power control: RTPC function

The capability to adjust the transmitted power in a static and fixed way (RTPC = Remote Transmit Power Control) has been introduced for those countries where, due to internal rules, the ATPC function is not accepted or for those hops in which due to the short length and interface problems, a fixed reduced transmitted power is preferred. The range of the possible attenuation depends on the frequency band involved. The setting of the transmitted power can be performed locally through MCT.

The Output power is band and modulation dependent.

2.7.6.4 Power Monitoring

The MPT-HC incorporates a detector for Tx power measurement. It is used to provide measurement of forward power as a performance parameter, and to provide a calibration input for transmitter operation over temperature and output range.

Viewed Tx power ranges always match the capabilities of the MPT-HC for a given modulation. When modulation is changed, the CT automatically adjusts/restricts Tx Power to be within valid range.

2.7.6.5 Adaptive Equalization

Adaptive equalization (AE) is employed to improve reliability of operation under dispersive fade conditions, typically encountered over long and difficult paths.

This is achieved through a multi-tap equalizer consisting of two registers, one with feed-forward taps, the other with feed-back taps. Each of these registers multiply successive delayed samples of the received signal by weighting-coefficients to remove propagation induced inter-symbol interference.

User Manual


9500 MPR-E Rel. 3.0.0

3DB 18793 EAAA Issue 178/280

2.7.6.6 Link identifier

The amount of microwave links, especially in urban areas puts the problem of possible interferences during installation and turn-on phase.

The digital frame incorporates link identity coding capabilities to prevent the capture of an unwanted signal.

In case of “Link Identifier Mismatch” all the traffic is dropped.

The Link identifier management can be enabled or disabled by the management systems.

2.7.6.7 Loopbacks

To facilitate the installation/commissioning and the remote maintenance two loopbacks are available.

As the activation of a loopback affects the traffic, the presence of a loopback is indicated to the management systems as an abnormal condition.

The supported loopbacks are shown in the following figure.

Figure 32. Available loopbacks

The following loopbacks are provided by the MPT-HC or MPT-HC V2 or MPT-MC:

1) Line Side loopback: this loopback routes data from the output of the Tx Data Awareness block (after compression) to the input of the Rx data awareness (decompression). It is a Loop and Continue.When this loopback is activated the behavior is the following: – TDM2TDM and TDM2ETH flows are forwarded back to GEthernet Generic Device with

source and destination MAC address swapped. For TDM2ETH flows the loopback works only if the ECID Tx and ECID Rx are the same. In case of ECID Tx different from ECID Rx the loopback doesn't work.

– Generic Ethernet flows are dropped.

2) Radio Side loopback: remote loopback allows an over-the-air loopback test to be performed when the modem is operating in a continuous mode. The loopback connects the Receive data interface to the Transmit data interface. This loopback is a Loop and Continue. When this loopback is enabled the behavior is the following: – TDM2TDM and TDM2ETH flows are looped back with source and destination MAC

address swapped. For TDM2ETH flows the loopback works only if the ECID Tx and ECID Rx are the same. In case of ECID Tx different from ECID Rx the loopback doesn't work.

– Generic Ethernet flows are dropped.

3DB 18793 EAAA Issue 1 79/280

2.7.6.8 Loopback activation

The loopback can be activated by the MCT connected to the NE. The activation command permits to define the duration of the loopback (time-out).

The time-out period starts at the activation time and expires at the end of the period spontaneously in the NE, a part for the case in which another reconfiguration of the time-out period is requested at the operator interface during the activation time. In this case, if the loopback point is still active because the activation time-out is not expired yet, the time-out period is reconfigurable and the specified time range starts again from the new updated activation date, overwriting the previous activation date and time-out values.

After the NE reset, the activation of each loopback point is lost and must be recreated again if needed, starting with a new time-out period.

2.7.7 NE IP Addresses

The NE IP address is a network IP address used for accessing the MPT through the radio and traffic Ether-net interfaces.

This address is configured statically by the operator through the management system.

The default address is 10.0.1.2.

The sub-net mask is 255.255.255.255 (/32). This mask is fixed and not configurable by the operator.

2.7.8 TMN management

The TMN In-Band interface dedicated to TMN is used to connect MPR-E NE to LAN exchanging TMN information through a VLAN mixed with the user Ethernet traffic.

This interface has a local default IP address and the operator could reconfigure this IP address as public address.

The IP address of TMN In-Band interface can be equal to the Local IP address.

If the IP address is different from the NE IP address, the TMN In-Band subnet shall be different from the NE logical subnet calculated by masking the NE IP address with the TMN In-Band subnet mask.

The default address is 192.168.100.1.

The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (/24)

The default TMN In-Band VLAN ID is 4080.

2.7.9 Quality Of Services (QoS)

The QoS functions are properly configured in order to get the wished behavior on Ethernet flows that will be transmitted.

In the figure is shown an overview of the QoS implementation inside the MPT.

Figure 33. QoS in the MPT

The QoS feature provides eight internal queues to support different traffic priorities. The QoS function can assign the packet to one of the eight egress transmit queues.

– Queue 8 is assigned to TDM2TDM traffic (not used in the current release)

– Queue 7 is assigned to TDM2Eth traffic (not used in the current release)

– Queue 6 is assigned to TMN

Queues 1 to 5 are assigned to Ethernet traffic according to the information inside the packet as 802.1p field, DiffServ field or Ethertype.

All the MEF-8 ETH2ETH traffic flows are assigned to the Q5 egress priority queue.

QoS based on IEEE std. 802.1p

When 802.1p QoS mechanism is adopted, the reference is the standard “IEEE 802.1D-2004 Annex G User priorities and traffic classes” that defines 8 traffic types and the corresponding user priority values.

Considering that in the Radio Interface module for generic Ethernet traffic there are five egress queues the mapping 802.1p value to queue is the following:

802.1p priority Queue

111, 110 Q5 (higher priority)

101 Q4

100 Q3

2.7.10 Synchronization

The MPT can be configured to be synchronized in two different modes:

– SynchE (Synchronous Ethernet). With this mode for the electrical interface the selection among Autonegotiation/Master/Slave must be performed.

– PCR (Proprietary Clock Recovery): the time stamp inside the Ethernet frame is used. With this mode the Source MAC address and the Destination MAC address must be assigned.

The MPT can be also configured to synchronize itself and to discard any external synchronization.

Note: SSM are transparently forwarded in most of the configurations (please refer to Customer Release Note 9500MPR-E Microwave Packet Radio Release 3.0 3DB18755AAAAFMZZA for the exceptions).

3.3 Alarm Synthesis

The CT provides an alarm functionality that informs the operator on the severity of the different alarms in the NE as well as on the number of current alarms. There are five different alarm severity levels. In the CT these different levels are associated with colors.

– Red: Critical alarm (CRI)

– Orange: Major alarm (MAJ)

– Yellow: Minor alarm (MIN)

– Cyan: Warning alarm (WAR)

– Blue: Indeterminate (IND)

The meaning of the icons in the Alarm Synthesis is:

[1] CRI - Critical alarmSynthesis of alarms that needs immediate troubleshooting (typical: NE isolation).

[2] MAJ - Major (Urgent) alarmSynthesis of alarms that needs immediate troubleshooting.

[3] MIN - Minor (Not Urgent) alarmSynthesis of alarms for which a deferred intervent can be decided.

[4] WAR - Warning alarmSynthesis of alarms due to failure of other NE in the network.

[5] IND - Indeterminate alarmSynthesis of alarms not associated with the previous severities. Not operative.

Each alarm severity is represented by an alarm icon situated in the top left hand corner of the view. These alarm icons are constantly represented on the different Equipment views so that the operator is always aware of the alarms occurring in the system.

Furthermore the number in the alarm icon gives the number of active alarms with that specific severity.

User Manual


9500 MPR-E Rel. 3.0.0

3DB 18793 EAAA Issue 1 95/280

b) Operation with the Adaptive Modulation (ACM) (Figure 48)

The main idea behind Adaptive Modulation in Point to Point system is to adjust adaptively the modulation as well as a range of other system parameters based on the near-instan-taneous channel quality information perceived by the receiver, which is feed back to the transmitter with the aid of a feedback channel.

The switching between the modulation schemes is hitless and maintains the same RF channel bandwidth.

To configure the Adaptive Modulation:

• Select in the Coding Modulation Type field “Adaptive (ACM)”.• Select in the Channel Spacing field the suitable channel spacing. • Select in the Modem Profile Option field the spectral efficiency class to be set as

reference: Current ETSI mask or New ETSI mask. • Select in the Reference Modulation field the reference modulation, which corre-

sponds to the lowest modulation scheme.• Choose in the Allowed Modulation field all the modulation schemes to be used with

the Adaptive Modulation. The modulation schemes (from the lowest to the highest scheme) must be contiguous.

3) Frequency

The system can operate with different types of ODU according to the RF band and to the chan-nel arrangement. There are ODUs which can manage only one shifter or several predefined shifters.

In the Shifter field select the suitable shifter.

In the Tx frequency field insert the suitable Tx frequency (the Rx frequency is automatically calculated by using the inserted Tx frequency and the shifter).

In the Rx frequency field will appear the calculated Rx frequency, but, by putting a check mark in the Allow Rx Frequency Tuning check box this frequency can be changed in +5 MHz range to implement the “Exotic” shifter configuration, if required.

4) Tx Mute

To mute the transmitter put a check mark in the Mute check box.

5) Transmit Power Control Mode

Select the Mode: RTPC or ATPC.

6) RTPC settings

– Tx power without Adaptive Modulation

If the ATPC is disabled the Tx Power field is available. For the Tx Power range refer to the indication in the screen.

In this field write the new value within the allowed transmitted power range.

User Manual


9500 MPR-E Rel. 3.0.0

3DB 18793 EAAA Issue 196/280

– Tx Power with Adaptive Modulation

The operator can modify only the Tx power relevant to the lowest modulation scheme. In this field the operator has to enter the constant power, which will be used with the lowest modulation.

The same power value will be used by the other modulation schemes.

7) ATPC settings

The ATPC cannot be set with ACM (only with FCM).

– ATPC Remote RSL Threshold

The value of the low power threshold can be changed by writing the new value in the field. When the Rx power is equal to this power the ATPC algorithm starts to operate.

– Min ATPC Tx power and Max ATPC Tx power

The Min Tx power and Max Tx power, regarding the Tx Range in the ATPC management, can be written in the relevant field.

4.2.2.1 Types of MPT-HC

The MPT-HC consists of one or two cabinets including the Ethernet interface + modem + RF transceiver + branching of a channel.

Three mechanical solutions are adopted:

[1] with embedded diplexer for cost optimisation (11 GHz to 38 GHz), shown in Figure 94., where the branching (diplexer) is internal to the MPT-HC cabinet; this type of MPT-HC is identified by one Logistical Item only;

[2] with embedded diplexer for cost optimisation and different mechanics from 11-38 GHz (6 GHz), shown in Figure 95., where the branching (diplexer) is internal to the MPT-HC cabinet; this type of MPT-HC is identified by one Logistical Item only;

[3] with external diplexer: due to an high number of shifters the diplexer is external for the flexibility of the shifter customization (7 GHz and 8 GHz), shown in Figure 96., where MPT-HC is composed by two independent units: the BRANCHING assembly (containing the diplexer) and the RF TRANS-CEIVER assembly (containing the RF section); each of this type of MPT-HC is identified by two Logistical Items, one for the BRANCHING assembly and another for the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly. To read the BRANCHING assembly identification label it is necessary to separate the BRANCHING assembly from the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly.

4.2.2.2.2.1 MPT-HC composition

As shown in Figure 100., the MPT-HC assembly is made up of two boxes, one for diplexer system (BRANCHING) and the other for the all other active functions (TRANSCEIVER) connected together to form the MPT-HC.

An O-RING present in the TRANSCEIVER box guarantees the MPT-HC assembly waterproofness.

Figure 100. Composition of MPT-HC with external diplexer

WARNING 1: A waterproofness tape is glued on the waveguide of the MPT-HC. It must never be removed.

WARNING 2: This gasket must never be removed.

The TRANSCEIVER box performs all the functions, but does not include the diplexer system.

The BRANCHING box provides the interface between the pole mounting/antenna and the TRANS-CEIVER.

The favorite solution foresees the possibility to change in field a spare part TRANSCEIVER without dis-connecting the BRANCHING box from the pole mounting/antenna. The TRANSCEIVER and BRANCH-ING boxes fixing and unfixing are obtained through the four levers.

Concerning the interface between the MPT-HC output flange and the suggested antenna flange, the fol-lowing Table 24. details for each product the standard wave guide to be used and the suggested flange for the external antenna.

Please note that the use of 600 mm flex twist is not suggested for antennas bigger than 3ft (90 cm diam-eter), due to mechanical reasons. The suggested way to make the RF connection is to use the elliptical wave guide fitted with flanged connectors.

N.B. If the FLEX–TWIST is not provided by Alcatel, the user must carefully choose the type of the connection guide in order to limit as much as possible galvanic couples between ANTENNA/flex–twist and flex–twist/MPT-HC contact surfaces that can induce rust. For this purpose please note that the surfaces are:

– chromium-plated at MPT-HC output flange side

– tin-plated at flex-twist’s flange side

Each MPT-HC transceiver must be individually grounded.

N.B. Neither the RF coupler, nor the antenna(s), integrated or not integrated, must be grounded.

The following items are necessary for the individual grounding of each MPT-HC transceiver:

– one MPT-HC Grounding Kit (P/N 3CC08166AAXX). This kit corresponds to a cable (16mm2 L = 15 m) that must be cut on site and connected to the ter-minal provided on the MPT-HC transceiver, and, on the other side, to the nearest grounding plate;

This example figure shows the grounding connector position.

4.2.2.13 Cable Grounding

The Power Supply cable and the Ethernet electrical cable must be grounded by using the dedicated Grounding kits.

For ground kit installation instructions refer to the guide provided with each kit.

For tower/mast installations the cables must be grounded at:

– The point where it comes on to the tower from the MPT-HC

– The point where it leaves the tower to go to the equipment building

– Not more than 25 m intervals on the tower if the height on the tower exceeds 50 m

– A point just prior to building entry

Figure 116. shows typical tower locations for cable grounding.

Note: All the cables (coax cable, Cat5e cable, fiber cable) must be fixed to the tower with the relevant ties.

At non-standard installations, such as building tops or the sides of buildings, follow the same general guidelines but where proper grounding points are not provided these must first be installed.

[1] with embedded diplexer for cost optimisation (6 GHz and 11 GHz to 38 GHz), shown in Figure 117., where the branching (diplexer) is internal to the MPT-HC V2 cabinet; this type of MPT-HC V2 is iden-tified by one Logistical Item only;

[2] with external diplexer: due to an high number of shifters the diplexer is external for the flexibility of the shifter customization (7 GHz and 8 GHz), where MPT-HC V2 is composed by two independent units: the BRANCHING assembly (containing the diplexer) and the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly (containing the RF section); each of this type of MPT-HC V2 is identified by two Logistical Items, one for the BRANCHING assembly and another for the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly. To read the BRANCHING assembly identification label it is necessary to separate the BRANCHING assembly from the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly.

4.2.4.1 Types of MPT-MC

The MPT-MC consists of one or two cabinets including the Ethernet interface + modem + RF transceiver + branching of a channel.


[1] with embedded diplexer for cost optimisation (6 GHz and 11 GHz to 38 GHz), shown in Figure 127., where the branching (diplexer) is internal to the MPT-MC cabinet; this type of MPT-MC is identified by one Logistical Item only;

[2] with external diplexer: due to an high number of shifters the diplexer is external for the flexibility of the shifter customization (7 GHz and 8 GHz), shown in Figure 128., where MPT-MC is composed by two independent units: the BRANCHING assembly (containing the diplexer) and the RF TRANS-CEIVER assembly (containing the RF section); each of this type of MPT-MC is identified by two Logistical Items, one for the BRANCHING assembly and another for the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly. To read the BRANCHING assembly identification label it is necessary to separate the BRANCHING assembly from the RF TRANSCEIVER assembly.

4.2.4.2.2 Additional operative information on MPT-MC with external diplexer

4.2.4.2.2.1 MPT-MC composition

As shown in Figure 131., the MPT-MC assembly is made up of two boxes, one for diplexer system (BRANCHING) and the other for the all other active functions (TRANSCEIVER) connected together to form the MPT-MC.

An O-RING present in the TRANSCEIVER box guarantees the MPT-MC assembly waterproofness.

N.B. This is a conductive O-RING and must be left dry. Do not wet it with silicon grease (silicon grease must be used only on O-ring between MPT-MC and antenna).

BRANCHING TRANSCEIVER

WARNING 1 WARNING 2

Figure 131. Composition of MPT-MC with external diplexer

WARNING 1: A waterproofness tape is glued on the waveguide of the MPT-MC. It must never be removed.

WARNING 2: This gasket must never be removed.

The TRANSCEIVER box performs all the functions, but does not include the diplexer system.

The BRANCHING box provides the interface between the pole mounting/antenna and the TRANS-CEIVER.

The favorite solution foresees the possibility to change in field a spare part TRANSCEIVER without dis-connecting the BRANCHING box from the pole mounting/antenna. The TRANSCEIVER and BRANCH-ING boxes fixing and unfixing are obtained through the four levers.

4.2.4.2.2.2 TRANSCEIVER and BRANCHING boxes coupling

Figure 132. below shows the TRANSCEIVER and BRANCHING boxes coupling surfaces:

– (A) BRANCHING box label informative contentdescribed in Figure 135. on page 195

– (B) (HIGH FREQ) and (C) (LOW FREQ) RF interfaces on BRANCHING box

– (D) (TX) and (E) (RX) RF interfaces on TRANSCEIVER box

The TRANSCEIVER and BRANCHING boxes can be coupled in two alternative ways (180°-rotated with respect to each other):

– BRANCHING box (B) (HIGH FREQ) coupled to TRANSCEIVER box’s (D) (TX)in this case the TX part of the transceiver uses the HIGH frequency range of the Shifter set by the Craft Terminal (see field D in Figure 135. on page 195); obviously the RX part of the transceiver uses the corresponding LOW frequency range;

– BRANCHING box (C) (LOW FREQ) coupled to TRANSCEIVER box’s (D) (TX)in this case the TX part of the transceiver uses the LOW frequency range of the Shifter set by the Craft Terminal (see field D in Figure 135. on page 195); obviously the RX part of the transceiver uses the corresponding HIGH frequency range.

N.B. There is only one possible way to couple the BRANCHING box and the TRANSCEIVER box: there is a mistake-proofing put by the factory on the TRANSCEIVER box, whose position depends on the type of transceiver (low or high band, as shown in Figure 133.) to ensure that the association with the BRANCHING box is always the right one.

4.2.8.2 Signal Measurement

Two receive signal-strength indicators are provided to assist antenna alignment, RSL in the WebEML screen, and the RSSI voltage at LEMO connector on the MPT-HC. Refer to:

– Using RSL Data (see par. 4.2.8.2.1 on page 216)

– Using the RSSI Voltage at the MPT-HC (see par. 4.2.8.2.2 on page 216)

– RSL Measurement Guidelines (see par. 4.2.8.2.2.1 on page 217)

4.2.8.2.1 Using RSL Data

As CT is accessed via connection to the GEthernet Generic Device, a separate means of communication such as two-way radio or cell phone is required between the WebEML operator and the person at the antenna.

To align using RSL:

1) Monitor RSL in the WebEML screen.

2) Set antenna alignment for maximum RSL.

3) Repeat for the far end of the link.

4) Compare actual RSLs with the expected RSLs from the link installation datapack. RSL mea-surement accuracies:

a) ± 2 dB for levels -40 to -70 dBm, over a temperature range of 0 to +35°C.

b) ±4 dB for levels -25 to -85 dBm, over an extended -33 to +55°C range.

4.2.8.2.2 Using the RSSI Voltage at the MPT-HC/MPT-MC

A voltmeter, such as a multimeter, is used to measure RSSI voltage.

Use the MPT/AWY Service Cord for the power monitoring in addition to a voltmeter.

1) Connect a voltmeter to the MPT-HC/MPT-MC through the MPT/AWY Service Cord.

2) Adjust antenna alignment until the voltage reading is at maximum value.

3) Repeat for the far end of the link.

Check and record the peak voltage at each end. The RSSI voltage provides a direct relationship with RSL, as follows:

Units Measurement (with MPT-HC/MPT-MC)

Service kit cable (Vdc) 5 4.71 4.12 3.5 2.9 2.3 1.71 1.11 0.59 0.14

RSL (dBm) -10 -20 -30 -40 -50 -60 -70 -80 -90 -100

4) Compare actual RSLs to the expected RSLs from the link installation datapack. Refer to par. 4.2.8.2.2.1 - RSL Measurement Guidelines.

– (M2) RJ45 connector, to connect the WebEML directly to the MPT.

4.2.8.2.2.1 RSL Measurement Guidelines

RSSI/RSL Accuracy

When checking RSSI/RSL against the predicted link values ensure appropriate allowances are made for Tx power-setting accuracy, path-loss calculation accuracy, and RSSI/RSL measurement accuracy.

– For a worst-case the overall accuracy is the sum of the individual accuracy limits, which for a link would be ±4 dB of the predicted value (±2 dB for transmit, ±2 dB for receive, 0 to 35°C), aside from the path-loss calculation accuracy, which should be within limits of ±3 dB.

– Typically, where the measured RSSI/RSL is more than 4 dB lower than the expected receive level you should check the path survey results, path calculations and antenna alignment.

User Manual

Installation

9500 MPR-E Rel. 3.0.0

3DB 18793 EAAA Issue 1 217/280

When checking RSSI/RSL ensure the measurement is made under normal, unfaded and interference-free path conditions.

– A discrepancy of 20 dB or greater between the measured and calculated RSSI/ RSLs suggests an antenna is aligned on a side lobe, or there is a polarization mismatch.

4.2.8.3 Aligning the Antenna

Antenna alignment involves adjusting the direction of each antenna until the received signal strength reaches its maximum level at each end of the link.Fine adjustment for azimuth (horizontal angle) and elevation (vertical angle) is built into each antenna mount.Adjustment procedures will be provided with each antenna.If the horizontal adjuster does not provide suf-ficient range to locate the main beam, the antenna mounting brackets will need to be loosened and the antenna swiveled on its pole mount to locate the beam.Before doing this ensure the horizontal adjuster is set for mid-travel.Some mounts for larger antennas have a separately clamped swivel base to allow the loosened antenna to swivel on it without fear of slippage down the pole. Where such a mount is not provided a temporary swivel clamp can often be provided using a pair of pipe brackets bolted together immediately below the antenna mount.

Ensure antennas are aligned on the main beam, and not a side lobe. For guidance, refer to the sections Locating the Main Beam (see par. 4.2.8.4.1 on page 219)

and Tracking Path Error (see par. 4.2.8.4.2 on page 220). Ensure ATPC is turned off during the alignment procedure.

4.2.8.3.1 Standard Alignment Procedure

To align an antenna:

1) Loosen the azimuth adjuster on the antenna mount (horizontal angle) and adjust azimuth posi-tion for maximum signal strength.

2) Tighten the azimuth securing mechanism. Ensure signal strength does not drop as it is tight-ened.

3) Loosen the elevation adjuster (vertical angle) and adjust for maximum signal strength.

4) Tighten the elevation securing mechanism. Ensure signal strength does not drop as it is tight-ened. The terminal is now aligned and ready to carry operational traffic.

5) Record RSL and/or RSSI voltage in the commissioning log.

4.2.8.4 Main Beams and Side Lobes

This section describes how to locate the main beam, and typical tracking path errors.

4.2.8.4.1 Locating the Main Beam

Ensure the antennas are aligned on the main beam, and not a side lobe.

Once a measurable signal is observed, very small alignment adjustments are required to locate the main beam. For instance, a 1.2m antenna at 23 GHz typically has 0.9° of adjustment from center of main beam to the first null (0.4° to the -3 dB point). Antenna movement across the main beam will result in a rapid rise and fall of signal level. As a guide, 1 degree of beam width is equivalent to moving approximately 1.0 mm around a standard 114 mm (4.5 in.) diameter O/D pipe.

Antennas can be verified as being on main beam (as opposed to a side lobe) by comparing measured receive signal level with the calculated level.

Signal strength readings are usually measurable when at least a main beam at one end and first side lobes at the other are aligned.

The strongest signal occurs at the center of the main beam. The highest first lobe signal is typically 20 - 25 dB less than the main beam signal. When both antennas are aligned for maximum main beam signal strength, the receive signal level should be within 2 dB of the calculated level for the path. This calculated level should be included in the installation datapack for the link.

Figure 151. is an example of a head-on, conceptual view of the beam signal strength, with concentric rings of side lobe peaks and troughs radiating outward from the main beam.

4.2.8.4.2 Tracking Path Error

Side lobe signal readings can be confused with main beam readings. This is particularly true for the first side lobe as the signal level at its center is greater than the signal level at the edges of the main beam, and if tracking on an incorrect elevation (or azimuth) a false impression of main beam reception can be obtained. This illustration shows an example of this with a simplified head-on view of an antenna radiation pattern, and tracking paths for three elevation settings.

Figure 152. Example Tracking Path Signals

Line AA represents the azimuth tracking path of a properly aligned antenna.The main beam is at point 2, and the first side lobes at points 1 and 3. Line BB represents the azimuth tracking path with the antenna tilted down slightly. Signal strength readings show only the first side lobe peaks, 4 and 5. In some instances the side lobe peaks are unequal due to antenna characteristics, which can lead to the larger peak being mistaken for the main beam. The correct method for locating the main beam in this case is to set the azimuth position midway between the first side lobe peaks, and then adjust the elevation for maximum signal.

Line CC represents an azimuth tracking path with the antenna tilted down further still. The first side lobe signal peaks (6 and 7) appear as one peak, leading to a mistaken interpretation of a main beam. The correct method for locating the main beam is to set the azimuth at mid peak, between 6 and 7, and then adjust elevation for maximum signal.

This first side lobe peaking is probably the most frequent cause of misalignment in both azimuth and elevation, especially so if one side lobe peaks higher than the other, as shown in Figure 153. A common error is to move the antenna left to right along line DD, or top to bottom along line EE, always ending up with the maximum signal at position 1.

5 ProvisioningThis chapter describes the first installation procedures to configure the NE.

Since MPR-e is a stand alone equipment, for its provisioning there are 2 possible options:

– Option 1: MPT will be FIRST configured through the PC and AFTER connected to the GEthernet generic device (par. 5.1 on page 240)

– Option 2: MPT will be directly configured through the GEthernet generic device (par. 5.2 on page 245)

Here is an overview of the options detailled in this chapter.

6 Maintenance and Trouble-clearing

6.1 Introduction

This section contains information and procedures to aid in restoring the equipment to its proper operating condition after it has been determined that a problem exists.

The following warnings and cautions apply while operating, performance testing, troubleshooting, or repairing the 9500 MPR-E series radios.

Short circuits in low-voltage, low-impedance dc circuits can cause severe arcing that may result in burns or eye injury. Remove rings,

watches, and other metal jewelry while working with primary circuits. Exercise caution to avoid shorting power input terminals.

Units with the electrostatic-sensitive (ESS) symbol contain ESS devices. Store these units in an antistatic container when not in use, and anyone handling a unit should observe antistatic precautions.

Refer to the Special Precautions pages in the front of the instruction book for detailed handling information.

Ensure that all antennas are properly aligned and waveguide is in good physical condition.

Before performing procedures that might in any way affect transmission, it is recommended that the person performing the procedure

understand the Rules and Regulations pertaining to the equipment and be properly authorized to operate the equipment.

6.2 Maintenance Philosophy

This section provides information and procedures for equipment maintenance down to the Card level. Card repair is not covered in this manual.

The use of maintenance procedures in this section may result from failure of a periodic check, an alarm indication, or unacceptable performance.

6.3 Personal Computer (PC)/Laptop

Connect the PC to the FE port of the GEthernet Generic Device.

6.4 Troubleshooting

This section provides guidance on:

– Before Going to Site Checklist

– Troubleshooting Basics

– Troubleshooting Path Problems

6.4.1 Before Going to Site Checklist

Where possible, before going to site obtain the following information:

– Does the fault require immediate attention?

– Determine who is the best-placed person to attend the fault.

– Confirm the nature and severity of the reported fault, its location, MPT type, frequency band, high/low end MPT, capacity modulation and configuration. Ask:

• Is just one link affected, or a number of links in the same geographical area?

• Is the path down completely or is traffic passing but with a BER alarm?

• Could the fault be in the equipment connected to MPT, rather than in MPT? Are there alarms on other, connected equipment?

• Is it a hard or intermittent fault?

• Do alarms confirm which end of an alarmed link is faulty?

– Could the weather (rain, ice, high wind, temperature) be a factor in the reported fault?

User Manual


9500 MPR-E Rel. 3.0.0

3DB 18793 EAAA Issue 1248/280

If the fault suggests a rain fade or other weather related fade condition and it matches the prevailing weather conditions, do

not take any action until the weather abates.

– Does link history suggest any fault trends?

• Does the fault history for the link indicate a likely cause?

• Is the link newly installed?

• Has there been any recent work done on the link?

– Ensure that you have with you:

• Appropriate spares. Where an equipment failure is suspected, these should include replace-ment of the MPT. If an MPT is suspected then local/national climbing safety requirements must be adhered to.

• A laptop PC loaded with Craft Terminal, and an Ethernet cable. If an Ethernet connection is to be used, you need the IP address and also the addresses for any remote sites to be accessed.

• If login security has been enabled, you need the password for the local and also any remote sites to be accessed.

• Any special test equipment that may be needed, such as a BER tester.

• Toolkit.

• Key(s) for access to the site.

6.4.2 PC Troubleshooting

In case of the NE is not displayed in the NETO screen, the MCT has to be launched directly through Mct.exe located under the path created by the operator during the local copy and under \\WebEML MPR TCO R4.3\9500MCT_V01.02.XX\Mct

– Check the basics first.

• For example, if multiple alarms are present, and these include power supply voltage or hard-ware alarms, always check their cause before looking at resultant down-stream path failure or path warning (signal) alarms.

• Similarly, if a path-related failure is indicated (no hardware or software alarms), investigate the path. Go to the Craft Terminal History screen (15 minute view) to check supporting data, such as low RSL and incidence of intermittent pre-failure BER alarms, which if present are evidence of a path-related failure.

– Check if recent work may be a cause. Recent work at the site may be a cause or contributing factor. Check for a configuration change, software upgrade, power recycling (reboot), or other site work:

6.4.4 Troubleshooting Path Problems

A path-related problem, with the exception of interference, is characterized by traffic being similarly affected in both directions. Generally, if you are experiencing only a one-way problem, it is not a path problem.

A path extends from MPT antenna port to MPT antenna port.

– Normally a path problem is signalled by a reduced RSL, and depending on its severity, a high BER.

– Only in worst case situations, such as an antenna knocked out of alignment, will a path fail completely, and stay that way.

– For weather-related problems, such as rain or ducting, the path problem will disappear as the weather returns to normal.

6.4.4.1 Path Problems on a Commissioned Link

A path problem on an existing link, one that has been operating satisfactorily may be caused by:

– Weather-related path degradation

If BER alarms are fleeting/not permanent and RSL returns to its normal, commissioned level after the alarm is cleared, rain, diffraction, or multipath fading is indicated. Rain fade is the likely cause of fade for links 13 GHz and higher. Diffraction and multipath/ducting for links 11 GHz and lower. If these alarms are persistent, there could be a problem with the link design or original installation.

– Changed antenna alignment or antenna feed problem

If RSLs do not return to commissioned levels after a period of exceptionally strong winds, suspect antenna alignment. Also, check the antenna for physical damage, such as may occur with ice-fall. For a remote-mounted MPT, check its antenna feeder.

– New path obstruction

Where all other parameters check as normal, and the path has potential for it to be obstructed by construction works, view/survey the path for possible new obstructions.

– Interference from other signal sources

Interference usually affects traffic in just one direction. Unlike other path problems, RSL is not affected. If suspected, check for new link installations at, or in the same geographical area, as the affected site. Ultimately, a spectrum analyzer may have to be used to confirm interference, which is not an easy task given the need to connect directly to the antenna port, after removing the MPT.

6.4.4.2 Path Problems on a New Link

For a new link, potential problems can extend to also include:

– Incorrect antenna alignment

One or both antennas incorrectly aligned. Refer to Installation alignment procedure.

– Mismatching antenna polarizations

Given a typical polarization discrimination of 30 dB, for most links it is not possible to capture a signal to begin the antenna alignment process.

– Incorrect path calculations

If the RSLs are too low or too high, antenna alignment is correct, and Tx power settings are correct, check the path calculations used to determine the link performance. A good calculation match is ± 2 dB. Disagreements in excess of 3 dB should be investigated.

– Reflections

Reflection (path cancellation) problems may not have been picked up at the path planning stage, par-ticularly if the survey was a simple line-of-sight. If suspected, resurvey the path.

6.5 Equipment removal and replacement

6.5.1 MPT-HC removal and replacement

Disconnect the cables and the co-box from the MPT-HC to be replaced and connect them to the spare MPT-HC.

Note: The MPT-HC V2 can also be used to replace the MPT-HC. The 23 GHz MPT-HC V2 is a Tx High Power version vs. MPT-HC. Take in account it when MPT-HC V2 is used as spare of MPT-HC.

6.5.2 MPT-HC V2 removal and replacement

Disconnect the cables and connect them to the spare MPT-HC V2.

6.5.3 MPT-MC removal and replacement

Disconnect the cables and connect them to the spare MPT-MC.

6.6 Cleaning

Do not use acid, alcohol, or brushes to clean the equipment because damage to the silkscreen labeling and antistatic coating can

result. Cleaning should be confined to the removal of dust and dirt using a damp cloth.

Cleaning should normally be confined to the removal of dust and dirt using a soft bristled (natural fiber) brush and a low velocity blower (such as a vacuum cleaner with a plastic blower nozzle). Do not use acid or synthetic bristled brushes to clean cards that contain electrostatic-sensitive components.

7.1.6 How to access the remot MPT

Configuration example of MPT in STATION A

- NE Local IP address: 172.168.60.1

- NE TMN In-band IP address: 192.168.50.2

Configuration example of MPT in STATION B

- NE Local IP address: 172.168.60.2. Note: The local and remote NE IP addresses must be in the same sub-network.

The PC, as shown in Figure, is connected to the equipment in Station A and with the MCT we have to access also the equipment in Station B.

How to configure the PC

– Assign to the PC an IP address in the same sub-net of the TMN In-band interface.

– Configure a static route with this command: "route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.50.2" (IP address of the TMN In-band working as Gateway).

– Or in the IP configuration of the Ethernet Interface set the Default Gateway to 192.168.50.2 (NE A TMN In-band IP address).

N.B. The PC must add a VLAN tag in the frames sent to the TMN In-band, if connected directly to the NE A. The VLAN ID must be the same as the one configured in the NE.

How to configure the MPT in Station A

– Enable the "TMN RF Access" in menu Configuration > Networking > Network interfaces.

How to configure the MPT in Station B

– Enable the "TMN RF Access" in menu Configuration > Networking > Network interfaces.

– Add the Static route "Deafault 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Link on radio side" in menu Configuration > Net-working > Static Routing.

– Or Add a static route to Network 192.168.50.0 255.255.255.0 Link on radio side.

7.2 Commissioning of STATION A – phase 1 (Turn up)

– Where necessary, switch OFF the power supply before disconnecting the earth connection,

– Do not connect instruments directly to the MSS-1c/ODU cable connector since the con-nector carries DC voltage used to supply the ODU.

– Do not connect the IF cable between MSS-1c and ODU while the MSS-1c is powered up.

7.2.1 Turn–on preliminary operations

ALL THESE OPERATIONS ARE PERFORMED WITH THE POWER OFF

The antenna of station A (or B) is pointed towards station B (or A) the best as possible (use compass if necessary).

The hardware configuration of the equipment corresponds to the expected one.

Make visual inspection for equipment installation and cabling:

• Power Injector allocation according to the station lay–out

• Ground connections

• Power supply voltage present with the correct polarity at the Power Injector power supply input for MPT-MC or at the MPT-HC power supply connector for MPT-MC

• Ethernet connections between the GEthernet Generic Device and Power Injector for MPT-MC and between the GEthernet Generic Device and MPT-HC for MPT-HC

• Indoor-Outdoor cables ground kit connections

• MPT ground connections (In the case of a non–integrated antenna, the antenna and the MPT must be ground connected)

• MPT cables connectors waterproofing.

7.9 Annex A: fine antenna alignment

Safety requirements for workers on antenna pole, and microwave radiations (EMF norms)

SAFETY RULESWhen operating on the antenna pole, strictly follow cautions. In particular do not stand on the antenna axis and beaware of the compliance boundaries.

Antenna pre–pointing should have been done during equipment hardware installation.

This annex explains how to carry out the antenna fine alignment.

To monitor the received level during alignment in the local station:

– use the MPT Rx power monitoring in addition to a voltmeter,

– or, after having logged in the NE, use the Craft Terminal received power measurement facility

Alignment procedure using the MPT Rx power monitoring

a) the radio link must be up and the ATPC disabled

b) in general, fine alignment should be done only on one station of the radio link

c) connect a voltmeter to the MPT (by using the Light Serfice kit cable for the MPT)

d) proceed with Vertical alignment, then with Horizontal alignment

e) in configurations with two antennas, repeat the procedure for the second antenna.

Procedures for Vertical and Horizontal alignment depend on the type of integrated polemounting employed.
