y Frequency Information
IDU Functions
The IDU is a compact, 17” wide, 1U or 2U unit, mount compatible for both ETSI and ANSI standard racks.
The IDU includes physical line interfaces, a full-function SONET/SDH regenerator internal multiplexer, an
advanced modem, and a main manager card.
The IDU can also include optional encryption modules for secure data transfer.
Local and remote system management and control (IDU and RFU).
Provides interfaces for wayside channel, user channels, and the 64 kbps order wire channel.
RFU Functions
The RFU consists of high sensitivity RF circuitry with half band tuning range for most frequencies. An
independent controller controls the RFU and its functions, and communicates with the IDU. This controller
provides the IDU precise received levels (in dBm) and other indications.
The RFU handles the main radio processing. It includes radio components for signal receiving, signal
transmission, IF processing, and power supply.
IF processing is a module that combines two signals, main and diversity, and uses the combined signal to
overcome multipath phenomenon (for Space Diversity configurations).
The RFU has different versions, depending on the frequency band.
Antenna
High-performance antennas are available in the following diameters: 1” (30 cm), 2” (60 cm), 3” (90 cm), 4”
(120 cm), or 6” (180 cm).
For low frequencies (6-11 GHz), other antenna sizes (8-15 ft) are available.
FibeAir 1500P is designed to deliver double the capacity using a single 28 MHz channel. In addition, the
system is modular, easy to install, and a cost-effective alternative to fiber.
With FibeAir 1500P operating in co-channel dual polarization (CCDP) mode, using the cross polarization
interference canceller (XPIC) algorithm, two STM-1 signals can be transmitted over a single 28 MHz
channel, using vertical and horizontal polarization. This enables double capacity in the same spectrum
bandwidth.
A cost-effective STM-1 ring configuration is achieved using a single FibeAir 1500P IDU located at each of
the nodes, with one RFU providing the West connection and another providing the East connection.
For upgrading to a 311 Mbps ring, the built in CCDP mode can be activated to use the same single 28 MHz
channel and equipment.
FibeAir 1500P can also be configured as an STM-1 1+1 hot standby terminal, in a 1U IDU shelf, with either
a single or double antenna installation.
FibeAir 1500P is equipped with an internal SNMP agent for easy integration with standard network
management systems, and can also be managed via CeraView, Ceragon’s network element manager, and
PolyView, Ceragon’s network management platform. FibeAir 1500P also provides an internal Ethernet hub
for in-band transmission of third party management information.
FibeAir 1500P can operate together with any industry standard ADM.

Multiplexer Receives data delivered via different communication protocols (such as DS-3,
Ethernet, etc.) and converts it to a standard SDH framework for transmission
through the air. On the receiving end, this module separates the SDH payload and
overhead and reconstructs the original data that was converted.
Power Supply The RFU receives its DC power from the IDU. The PWR LED on the front panel
of the IDU continuously lights to indicate the existence of input voltage. The DC
input range is -40.5 VDC to -72 VDC.
Modem Upon transmission, performs data conversion from the baseband frequency to the
IF frequency. Upon receiving, performs data conversion from the IF frequency to
the baseband frequency. It also performs AGC (Automatic Gain Control).
Line Interface Performs data framing and scrambling, and LOF detection.
FibeAir 1500HP operates with FibeAir 1500P to provide a comprehensive high capacity, high transmit
power system.

IDU Functions
IDC Drawer The drawer on the left side of the IDU front panel. Includes the IDC (IDU
Controller), management and auxiliary channels, as well as independently
replaceable fan unit.
IDU Controller Handles configuration and control of all functional units, including trail
configurations, protection algorithms, network management tasks, performance
monitoring, alarm detection/generation, and diagnostics.
Carrier Drawers The drawers to the right of the IDC drawer. Include modem interfaces and power
supply units.
Modem Upon transmission, performs data conversion from the baseband frequency to the IF
frequency. Upon receiving, performs data conversion from the IF frequency to the
baseband frequency. It also performs AGC (Automatic Gain Control).
Multiplexer Drawer Receives data delivered via the communication protocol and creates a composite
framework for transmission through the air. On the receiving end, this module
separates the payload and overhead and reconstructs the original data that was
converted. The multiplexer drawer also supports impedance matching for the E1/T1
lines. The Fast Ethernet port provides configurable high-capacity Fast Ethernet
wireless transmission with quality-of-service controls. Wire-speed Fast Ethernet is
provided alongside TDM traffic with configurable capacities of 0.5 to 100 Mbps
full-duplex throughput. Built-in Quality of Service provides priority support
allowing different classes of service, according to VLAN priority (802.1p) and
DiffServ / IPv4 TOS or IPv6 TC bit values. All classes use 4 levels of prioritization
with user-selectable options between strict priority queuing and weighted fair
queuing, with 8:4:2:1 strict weights.
Line Interfaces Located on the interface panel, which is designed to handle 64 E1/T1 channels and
Ethernet communication. Capacity upgrades are provided using software-licensed
keys.
Power Supply The RFU receives its DC power from the IDU. The PWR LED on the front panel of
the IDU continuously lights to indicate the existence of input voltage. The DC input
is -48 VDC.
With the highest available throughput on the market, this Ethernet solution, with ultra-low latency, is
optimized for IP based applications including IP-DSLAM connectivity for triple play services, WiMAX
backhauling and any delay-sensitive application.
With upgradeable capacities of from 50 to 400 Mbps per radio carrier, the FibeAir® IP-MAX carrier class
solution provides a pay-as-you-grow, simple, and scaleable migration path for the ever-increasing demand
for data-rich services.
FE IDM
The Fast Ethernet IDM is a hot-swappable module inserted in the IP-MAX IDU. It provides configurable
high-capacity Fast-Ethernet wireless transmission with Quality-of-Service (QOS) controls. Each Fast
Ethernet IDM contains 2 x FE ports or 2 x FE with 8 x E1/DS1 ports and one radio interface.
Wire-speed FE IDMs are available with a single FE port (100 or 50 Mbps throughput) or 2 x FE ports with
200 Mbps full-duplex throughput. Capacity upgrades using software-licensed keys with specific serial
numbers are available with 50 to 100 Mbps throughput and 100 to 200 Mbps throughput.
Physical Port Priority - If both Fast Ethernet ports are used, total Ethernet capacity is dynamically allocated
between the two ports, or priority can be given to one port over the other.
Built-in Quality of Service - Provides priority support for different classes of service, according to VLAN
priority (802.1p) and DiffServ / IPv4 TOS or IPv6 TC bit values. All classes use 4 levels of prioritization
with user selectable options between strict priority queuing, or weighted fair queuing, with 8:4:2:1 strict
weights.
GbE IDM
The Gigabit Ethernet IDM is a hot-swappable module inserted in the IP-MAX IDU. It provides Gigabit
Ethernet wireless transmission, with each GbE IDM containing one GbE port, or GbE with 8 x E1/DS1 ports
and one radio interface. GbE IDMs are available with traffic throughputs of up to 400 Mbps full duplex per
single radio carrier.
Maximum Throughput - Supports 800 Mbps over a single 56 MHz channel, using co-channel and dual
polarization (CCDP) with XPIC, in a single IDU (two IDMs with two carriers, and two different GbE
physical interfaces).
Super Jumbo Frame Support - The Gigabit IDM supports frame sizes of up to 12,000 bytes. With this
feature, IP-MAX is ready to support next generation Ethernet networks. In heavily loaded networks, where
continuous data transfer is required, jumbo frames can significantly enhance the efficiency of Ethernet
servers and networks. Jumbo frames enable the reduction of the packet processing by the server, thereby
increasing end-to-end throughput.
FibeAir IP-MAX2 enables native Ethernet transmission with multiple frequencies, software selectable
capacities, modulation schemes, and configurations for various network requirements, using the same
hardware and state-of-the-art technology. The system supports high-capacity data services as well as
traditional voice services, with both Ethernet and TDM interfaces.
This innovative platform uses an “on-the-fly” upgrade method, whereby network operators only buy capacity
as needed, benefiting from savings on initial investments and OPEX.
The IP-MAX2 IDU (Indoor Unit) can host up to two carriers, each delivering over 400 Mbps, optimizing the
solution for different network topologies and configurations.
Traffic capacity throughput and spectral efficiency are optimized with the desired channel bandwidth. For
maximum user choice flexibility, channel bandwidths can be selected together with a range of modulations,
from QPSK to 256 QAM. Two independent hot swappable Indoor Unit Modules (IDMs) can be used for hot-
standby hardware protection, diversity, East-West configuration, or double capacity (2+0).
High spectral efficiency is ensured by choosing the same bandwidth for double the capacity, via two carriers
with vertical and horizontal polarizations. This feature is implemented by a built-in XPIC mechanism.
IP-MAX-G IDM
Enables native Ethernet with two indoor module (IDM) options:
IP-MAX-MS IDM
Enables native Ethernet and native TDM (Native2™) with two indoor unit module (IDM) options:
The IDMs are hot-swappable modules inserted in the IP-MAX2 IDU, providing wireless transmission with
Quality-of-Service (QOS) controls. Each GBE IDM optionally allocates 8 x E1/T1 ports and one radio
interface.
The electrical Gigabit Ethernet provides configurable high-capacity 10/100/1000BaseT while the optical
GBE IDM has an SFP-based optics receptacle.
Capacity upgrades using software-licensed keys with specific serial numbers are available with 100, 200,
300 and 400 Mbps throughput settings.

In-Band Management
In-Band Management refers to a method whereby the network management software sends management
packets through the same network it is managing. This differs from out-band management in which the
network management software uses a different network (overlay network) in order to communicate with the
managed elements.
Ceragon IDUs are capable of forwarding IP packets to Ethernet ports, Serial ports, SDH lines (in the
overhead) and Radio interfaces (in the overhead).
The general idea of In-Band Management is that when a packet arrives at an IDU, the software in the IDU
checks the IP packet and follows one of two basic scenarios:
1. If the destination IP address of the packet is the same as the IP address of the IDU, pass the packet to the
IP layer for further processing.
1. If the destination IP address of the packet is different than the IP address of the IDU:
• If the packet arrived from within the ring, send it to the other side. If that side is down,
send it back to its origin.
• If the packet arrived from outside the ring, send it to the radio side. If that side is down,
send it to the line side.
• If the packet belongs to an address outside the ring, send it through the Ethernet port.
The following methods can be used to implement In-Band Management in the FibeAir system:
Transferring DCCr bytes through the radio, but not through the network.
Out-of-Band Management
Out-of-Band Management refers to a method whereby CeraView management signals are transmitted over
E1s using FCD-IP/D routers. It is used when several Ceragon sub-networks (ring and chain) are connected to
a SONET/SDH network that includes other vendor equipment which do not transparently transmit the
DCCR/DCCM data control channels. In such cases, Ceragon sub-networks employ In-Band Management
among themselves, and Out-of-Band Management throughout the rest of the network, via FCD-IP/D routers.
Each Ceragon sub-network has a 10BaseT connection to CeraView at the NOC (Network Operation Center).
The connection uses one E1 of the transport network, whereby up to 30 sub-networks can be managed using
a sinlgle E1 connection.
