General 1-1
1. GENERAL
This section provides information on routine and corrective maintenance for the
iPASOLINK used for 7 to 42 GHz PDH/SDH/Packet digital radio system.
This information includes followings with its instructions and procedures:
 Precautions for maintenance
 Materials for maintenance (test sets and accessories)
 Performing routine maintenance tasks
 Performing corrective maintenance tasks
1-2/END General
Precaution 2-1
2. PRECAUTION
The maintenance personnel should report arrival and departure from a station to the
relevant station. The following precaution must be carefully observed during
maintenance.
Warning
1. The -48V DC power is superimposed on the center conductor of the coaxial
cable between the IDU and the ODU. Connecting test equipment directly to
this terminal may damage it and touching the coaxial cable core may cause
electrical shock.
2. Persons performing maintenance must take necessary steps to avoid
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) which may damage the cards on the IDU or
cause error. Wear a conductive wrist strap connected to the grounded (G)
jack on the front of the equipment shelf. This will minimize static build-up
during maintenance.
3. Turn off the "ODU PWR" switch on the IDU before connecting/disconnecting
the IF cable to avoid the equipment damaged.
4. After turning ON the equipment, wait at least 1 minute before turning it OFF
again. Repeatedly turning the power ON and OFF within a short interval may
cause the equipment damaged.
5. Do not allow open or short circuit ODU TX output with the TX power on
conditions. Perform the TX Mute control in the Maintenance mode or turn the
“ODU PWR” switch off at the IDU before disconnecting cable or feeder from
the ODU TX output.
6. Contact NEC before program download on the LCT is performed. Equipment

may not function correctly with improper operation.
Caution
1. In a system using the optical STM-1 INTFC, do not stare at the laser beam
or look at it directly with optical instruments. Otherwise, it may hurt your eyes
(Class 1 laser product).
2. The top surface of the IDU above MODEM is hot in operation.

3. When replacing the IDU, turn off the “ODU PWR” switch and disconnected
all cables.
4. During maintenance, the IDU should be set to maintenance On by the LCT.

5. To prevent traffic interruption, under the maintenance, perform TX/RX SW
manual switching in 1+1 system.
2-2 Precaution
6. While the CPU is initialized by the CPU RESET switch, alarm(s) status is
reset to normal. After initialized, the alarm information is properly provided
through relay contacts.
7. Information on the maintenance and the control such as Mute, CW, LB, etc.
is released if the power is turned off.
8. If each setup item of NE SETUP or SYSTEM OPERATION is changed
during operation, traffic will be momentarily interrupted.
9. When the TX SW is activated, momentary traffic interruption may occur.
10. After completing maintenance, restore all connections, manual control

settings to normal and confirm that all alarm LEDs are unlit.
11. After equipment start-up, allow the equipment to warm up at least 30

minutes.
Precaution 2-3
Straight Type
Tighten the TNC-male connector of IF cable to the IDU with engage connector nut
only using fingers and holding the cable with another hand.
L-angle Type
Tighten the engage connector nut only for the L-angle connector also.
(Tightening Torque: 0.3 to 0.5 N-m (3 to 5 kg-cm))
If you rotate other parts of the L-angle connector as illustrated left, it may cause
connector damage.

5. CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
Corrective maintenance done in the field is described in this chapter. Corrective

maintenance in the field covers fault isolation, card/unit replacement and alignment.
The fault location procedures describe how to isolate card-level/unit-level faults.
Faults can be classified in to those that cause deterioration of the transmission quality
and those that interrupt the traffic due to a malfunction of the equipment. This
chapter explains the troubleshooting procedures for equipment faults and the
corresponding remedial methods. The purpose of troubleshooting malfunctioning
equipment is to restart the service by locating the faulty part and replacing it with a
spare.
The faults that cause deterioration quality are primarily originated by changes
occurred in the state of propagation. Therefore, if a decline in the transmission
quality or similar fakes place frequently, the link design will have to be reviewed.
During the corrective maintenance, carefully observe the precautions given in

Chapter2, until the alignment is completed.
5-2 Corrective Maintenance
5.1 Alarm/Status
When an alarm event has occurred, at first, check alarm indication on the front of the
IDU. Continuously, connect the PC to the LOCAL jack on the LCT port mounted on
the IDU and check alarm/status indication.
A faulty part can be located by checking the alarm LED indications and LCT Alarm
indications.
Alarm Report
When an alarm is detected, alarm notification is made to the user by lighting
up the LEDs on the rack, and reporting the alarm to user interface. The alarm
notification is also made to the user by an Office alarm, such as the station
alarm bell and lamps.
ALARM LED indication

LED at the front of the rack lights up/turn off when alarm is
generated/cleared to report the alarm to the user.

Meter Reading
Based on the meter readings during periodical inspection with LCT in

Chapter 5, a faulty part can be located by checking if the reading values
exceed the permissible ranges.
Loopback
In case of an abnormal BER measurement result among the meter reading

items, try to distinguish the faulty part by Loopback procedure.
5.1.1 Alarm Management
The alarm severity of each failure is indicated by the following alarm level and alarm
class. Alarm classes can be modified. Modification is done by Alarm Severity
Setting.
5.1.1.1 Alarm Class
Critical (CR) :
The Critical severity level indicates that a service affecting condition has occurred
and an immediate corrective action is required. Such a severity can be reported, for
example, when a managed object becomes totally out of service and its capability
must be restored.
Major (MJ):
The Major severity level indicates that a service affecting condition has developed
and an urgent corrective action is required. Such a severity can be reported, for
example, when there is a severe degradation in the capability of the managed object
and its full capability must be restored.
Minor (MN):
The Minor severity level indicates the existence of a non-service affecting fault
condition and that corrective action should be taken in order to prevent a more
serious (for example, service affecting) fault. Such a severity can be reported, for
example, when the detected alarm condition is not currently degrading the capacity
of the managed object.
Warning (WR):
The Warning severity level indicates the detection of a potential or impending
service affecting fault, before any significant effects have been felt. Action should be
taken to further diagnose (if necessary) and correct the problem in order to prevent it
from becoming a more serious service affecting fault.

6.2.3 Radio Control

There are several maintenance control items that can be set during Maintenance
Mode.
The function of each control is as follows (These windows are not available when
MAINT is in OFF. Switch to Maintenance mode first is displayed):
 ATPC Manual Control
If TX Power Control Mode is selected to ATPC Mode, execute temporally fix

control to transmit POWER. Select the value range described in ( ) of ATPC
Range that located in the Provisioning Menu (MODEM Function setting -> TX
Power Setting) for Transmit POWER. ATPC Manual Control can be selected
from either Auto or Manual. If transmit POWER requires to temporally fix
control, select Manual then select fixed value (it will be fixed until Auto is
selected).
Note: ATPC Manual Control is not effective if MTPC Mode is selected.
 TX Mute Control
Despite the equipment configuration setting, forcing the “TX Mute Control” to
ON will stop the transmit power of the ODU.
If Mute Control is set to OFF, it will cancel the Mute control.
Notes
1 If Mute Control is set to OFF and Mute OFF does not work due to
uncontrollable factors, Mute status will remain ON.
2. In case of 1+1 Hot Standby configuration, the Mute OFF control does not
mute both lines. Moreover, when force Mute is controlled in No.1/No.2,
Maintenance Mode cannot set to OFF.
3. When TX Mute is controlled by a remote control, the setting of the automatic

restoration time is possible. Therefore, TX Mute Release Time should be set.
4. TX Mute Release Time is set together with TX Mute Control by the item that
becomes effective only when TX Mute Control is done from a higher-level
device.
 CW Control
CW (no transmission modulation) is controlled.

It is used when the frequency is measured with a frequency counter and when
spurious one is checked.
If you perform the CW control over a pre-made Mute ON, execute CW ON/OFF
6-88 Control Items
after Mute OFF. At this time, when there is a factor that the CW control is not
turned ON it becomes CW control error.
In addition, in case of remote connection and operated Control CW, it may not
be able to recover again. CW Control will restore automatically according to
the TX Mute Release Time parameter.
 TX Modulation Manual Control
The flat rate of the transmission modulation method of the control station in the
AMR mode is temporarily managed.
The modulation method can be set according to the target device regardless of
the AMR Range setting.
Under the 1+0 configuration, each Slot#/Slot# is individually controlled.
This control is done by exchanging request/answer of the control between
local/remote stations as well as LB2.
When the TX Modulation Manual Control setting is returned from Manual to
Auto, the fixed modulation method is returned to QPSK.
6.2.3.1 ATPC Manual Control
Performing this function (Manual Control) sets the Maintenance Mode to ON.
However, in case of Auto setting and if Maintenance Mode is set to OFF, it will
cancel the “auto setting”.

6.2.5 Cluster Alarm Setting

By mounting optional card of AUX, iPASOLINK is available to use Alarm
input/output function port for sub-signal of Cluster Alarm and House Keeping.
When House Keeping input at own station is detected, Cluster Alarm will transmit to
the opposite station by setting up the bit of Cluster ALM input (output toward to
wireless)
When any changes for Cluster ALM output (input toward to wireless) is detected
after Cluster Alarm signal was received by equipment in the opposite station, the
equipment in the opposite station will be set-up bit for House Keeping output control
then Relay output (RL) will be executing.
After receiving a Cluster Alarm signal from the opposite station and another Cluster
Alarm is input (output to the direction of the radio), a setup is performed, and Cluster
Alarm signal is sent out to an opposite office. It is possible to transmit the Cluster
Alarm signal.
 HK IN 1 to 6 (External input functions, cluster alarm, house keeping

input port)
6-108 Control Items
(a) House Keeping Input Port
House Keeping external input port provides six port, four of six ports are
used by both Cluster Alarm and House Keeping and each port is required to
select Alarm function.
When an external input port is selected by HKIN, the change of HKIN is

detected then the change is reported to upper level.
(b) Cluster Alarm Input Port
When 1 to 4 external input ports are selected as a Cluster Alarm input, F/W
executes to change the signal of HKIN1-4 into Cluster Alarm signal in
wireless frame then output the signal toward to opposite side of wireless. In
addition, any Modems are available to output the Cluster Alarm input signal.
 RL OUT 1 to 6 (External output functions, cluster alarm, house

keeping output port)
(a) House Keeping Output Port
House Keeping output port provides six port, four of six port are used by
both Cluster Alarm and House Keeping and each port (HK1-4) required to
set up individually from F/W to FPGA.
Set up to OK or not OK for each item (parallel alarm required to set up for
each alarm items), execute port output if over one alarm at specified item is
detected.
H/W control output port for other 2 port. (RL1, RL2 port will be fixed for
parallel alarm output by H/W.)
(b) Cluster Alarm Output Port
When House Keeping output ports 1 to 4 are selected as a Cluster Alarm

output, any Cluster Alarm detected from the radio side is outputted to any
output port.
Cluster Alarm output 1 to 4 signals are selected after the incoming signals of
a MODEM under redundant system, and the arbitrary Cluster Alarm is
output to the radio port of CH unit.
In Cluster Alarm, it outputs and inputs to two or more MODEM(s) or it has a
