2 FIRST AID FOR ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND SAFETY
RULES
2.1 FIRST AID FOR ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Do not touch the bare hands until the circuit has been opened. pen the circuit by switching off the line
switches. If that is not possible protect yourself with dry material and free the patient from the con-
ductor.
2.1.1 Artificial respiration
It is important to start mouth respiration at once and to call a doctor immediately. suggested procedure
for mouth to mouth respiration method is described in the Tab.1.
2.1.2 Treatment of burns
This treatment should be used after the patient has regained consciousness. It can also be employed while
artificial respiration is being applied (in this case there should be at least two persons present).
Warning
• Do not attempt to remove clothing from burnt sections

Step Description Figure
Lay the patient on his back with his arms parallel to the body.
If the patient is laying on an inclined plane, make sure that his
1 stomach is slightly lower than his chest. Open the patients
mouth and check that there is no foreign matter in mouth (den-
tures, chewing gum, etc.).
Kneel beside the patient level with his head. Put an hand under
the patient’s head and one under his neck.
Lift the patient’s head and let it recline backwards as far
2 as possible.
Shift the hand from the patient’s neck to his chin and his
mouth, the index along his jawbone, and keep the other fingers
closed together.
3 While performing these operations take a good supply of oxy-

gen by taking deep breaths with your mouth open
With your thumb between the patient’s chin and mouth keep
his lips together and blow into his nasal cavities
While performing these operations observe if the patient’s

chest rises. If not it is possible that his nose is blocked: in that
case open the patient’s mouth as much as possible by pressing
on his chin with your hand, place your lips around his mouth
and blow into his oral cavity. Observe if the patient’s chest
5
heaves. This second method can be used instead of the first
even when the patient’s nose is not obstructed, provided his
nose is kept closed by pressing the nostrils together using the
hand you were holding his head with. The patient’s head must
be kept sloping backwards as much as possible.
Start with ten rapid expirations, hence continue at a rate of

twelve/fifteen expirations per minute. Go on like this until the
6
patient has regained conscious–ness, or until a doctor has as-
certained his death.

8 DESCRIPTION OF THE MODULAR IDU FOR 2 OR
34 MBIT/S TRIBUTARIES
8.1 1+0/1+1 MODULAR IDU VERSION
Description that follows is referring to LIM/CONTROLLER/RIM module the Modular IDU consists of.
8.1.1 LIM
The LIM performs the following operations:
• multiplexing process of the input tributaries

• aggregation of the multiplexed signals along with services through a Bit Insertion circuit
• processing in digital form of the baseband part of the QAM modulator (the IF part of the QAM mod-
ulator takes place within the RIM
• duplication of the digital processed signal to supply two RIMs in 1+1 versions. In the full duplicated
version the changeover occurs at tributary level.
Different baseband structures and digital processing of the signal to be forwarded to the QAM modulator/
demodulator is produced by a “chip set”. Controls to the chip set and status/alarm reporting from the chip
set are given/received by main controller within the CONTROLLER module.
8.1.2 Circuit description
Tx side
Refer to Fig.34.
The 2/34 Mbit/s input signal is code converted from HDB3 to NRZ format before being multiplexed. The
multiplexing scheme depends on the number and the bit rate of the input tributaries.
Attached figures show different multiplexing scheme as follows:
• Fig.35 – 2/34 Mbit/s single tributary multiplexing. The mux performs stuffing operation and gener-
ates a proprietary frame to be sent to the Bit Insertion. Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.
• Fig.36 – 2x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The mux performs stuffing operation on each single tributary and
generates a proprietary frame embedding the two tributaries to be sent to the Bit Insertion. Oppo-
site operation occurs at the Rx side.
• Fig.37 – 4x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The mux aggregates the four 2 Mbit/s tributaries generating a
8448 kbit/s frame as per Recc. G.742. The multiplexed signal is then sent to the Bit Insertion. Op-
posite operation occurs at the Rx side.
• Fig.38 – 8x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The eight 2 Mbit/s tributaries are grouped in two 4x2 Mbit/s groups
each of one generating a G742 frame structure at 8448 kbit/s to be sent to the next Bit Insertion.
Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003

47
• Fig.39 – 16x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The sixteen 2 Mbit/s tributaries are grouped in four 4x2 Mbit/s
groups each of one generating a G.742 frame structure at 8448 kbit/s. A further multiplexing of the
achieved four 8448 kbit/s streams will generate a frame structure at 34368 kbit/s as per Recc.
G.751. This latter is to be sent to the Bit Insertion.The 2 Mbit/s wayside undergoes stuffing process
before being sent to the Bit Insertion. Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.
• Fig.40 – 32x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. This version consisted of two LIMs (master and slave) each of
one manipulating two 16x2 Mbit/s signals. Each of one will generate a 34368 kbit/s frame structure
as per Recc. G.751.
The two signals are sent to the Bit Insertion within the master LIM for aggregation and stuffing proc-
ess. The 2 Mbit/s wayside undergoes stuffing process before being sent to the B.I. Opposite oper-
ation occurs at the Rx side.
• Fig.41 – 2x34 Mbit/s multiplexing. The two 34368 kbit/s tributaries are directly sent to the Bit In-
sertion for aggregation and stuffing process. Opposite situation occurs at the Rx side.
In addition to the tributary mux, an additional service mux is provided for aggregation of various service
signals interfaced by Controller module.
The multiplexed tributary and service signals are then sent to the B.I. for aggregate frame generation oc-
curring at the following bit rate depending on various versions implemented:
Tab.9 - Aggregate frame
Version Aggregate frame
2 Mbit/s 2430 kbit/s
2x2 Mbit/s 4860 kbit/s
16x2/34 Mbit/s 38880 kbit/s
32x2/2x34 Mbit/s 77760 kbit/s
The aggregate frame contains:
• the main signal from the MUX(s)
• the framed service signal from the service MUX

• the EOC signals for supervision message propagation towards the remote equipment
• the frame alignment word
• the bits dedicated to the FEC.
All the synch. signals to perform multiplexing (demultiplexing) and BI (BE) process are achieved from a x0
at 38.88 MHz
The LIM also includes the processing in digital form (see Fig.34) of the modulating signal to be sent to the
mixers of the QAM modulator within the RIM.
The digital process includes:
• serial to parallel conversion
• differential encoding
• generation of the shaped modulating signals I and Q to be sent to each individual RIM.
Rx side
Refer to Fig.42.
From the two RIMs the LIM is receiving the I and Q analogue signals then digital converted for the following
processing:
48
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
• clock recovery
• frequency and phase carrier locking
• baseband equalisation and filtering
• bit polarity decision
• differential decoding
• parallel to serial conversion to recover the aggregate signal at the receive side.
The aggregate signal is then sent to a frame alignment circuit and CRC analysis and then to the error cor-
rector. The errors uncorrected by the FEC are properly counted to achieve:
• BER estimate measurement
• radio performances
HBER/LBER/Early Warning Alarm roots for monitoring purpose and Rx switching operation are taken di-
rectly from CRC circuit before FEC correction.
The Rx switching receives the two aggregate signals and performs signal selection under the control of a
logic circuit according with Tab.10.
The changeover is error free and the system has built in capabilities of minimising the passed errors during
the detection time, such as the early warning criteria. The hitless switching facility provides automatic syn-
chronisation of the two incoming streams up to a dynamic difference of ± 7 bits; additionally, the switching
unit is also capable of compensating static delays between the two incoming streams of up to ±7 bits. At
the output of the Rx switch the Bit Extraction separates the main signal from the services and then, after
a proper demultiplexing process as previously described, sends them to the output interface lines.

8.1.3 RIM
Refer to Fig.43.
The RIM consists of the following main circuits:
• IF part of the QAM modulator
• IF part of the QAM demodulator
• power supply
• telemetry IDU/ODU
8.1.3.1 QAM modulator
I and Q signals from LIM are connected to a 4 or 16QAM programmable modulator. It consists of the fol-
lowing circuits:
• recovery low pass filter to eliminate signal periodicity
• two mixers for carrier amplitude and phase modulation process
• 330 MHz local oscillator
• a 90° phase shifter to supply two mixers with two in quadrature carriers
• a combiner circuit to generate the QAM modulation
The thus obtained 330 MHz QAM modulated carrier is then sent to the cable interface for connection with
ODU.
8.1.3.2 QAM demodulator
At the receive side, from the cable interface, the 140 MHz QAM modulated carrier is sent to the QAM de-
modulator passing through a cable equalizer circuit. The QAM demodulator within the RIM extracts the I
and Q signals to be sent to the digital part of the demodulator within the LIM.
8.1.3.3 Power supply
The –48 V battery voltage feeds the IDU and ODU circuitry. The service voltages for the IDU feeding are
achieved through a DC/DC converter for +3.6 V generation and a step down circuit for –5V.
Both voltages are protected against overvoltages and overcurrents.
The power to the ODU is given by the same battery running through the interconnection cable.
An electronic breaker protects the battery against cable failure.
8.1.3.4 Telemetry IDU/ODU
The dialogue IDU/ODU is made–up by the main controller and associated peripherals within the ODU. Con-
trols for ODU management and alarm reporting is performed making use of a bidirectional 388 kbit/s
framed signals. The transport along the interconnecting cable is carried out via two FSK modulated carri-
ers: 17.5 MHz from IDU to ODU; 5.5 MHz from ODU to IDU.

8.1.4 CONTROLLER
The controller module performs the following:
• interfaces the service signals
• houses the equipment software for equipment management
• interfaces the SCT/LCT program through supervision ports
• receive external alarms and route them to relay contacts along with the internal alarms generated
by the equipment.
Warning: lithium battery inside, refer to national rules for disposal.
8.1.4.1 Service signals
The controller offers an electrical interface to the following three service channel options:
• 9600 baud/V28 with digital party line or in alternative 2x4800 baud/V28 – 9600 baud V28/RS232
synchronous/asynchronous channels
• 64 kbit/s/V11 codirectional or contradirectional
• 2 Mbit/s wayside G.703.
The service channels thus interfaced are then sent to the LIM for MUX/DEMUX processing.
8.1.4.2 Equipment software
Equipment software permits to control and manage all the equipment functionality. It is distributed on two
hardware levels: main controller and ODU peripheral controllers.
The dialogue between main and peripheral controllers is shown in Fig.44.
Main controller
The activities executed by the main controller are the following:

• Communication management: it makes use of SNMP as management protocol and IP or IP over OSI
as communication protocol stacks. See Fig.45 for details. The interface ports for the equipment
management are the following:
- LAN Ethernet 10BaseT/10Base2 or AUI
- USB port for 1+0 version
- RS232 asynchronous used for SCT/LCT connection
- RS232 asynchronous used for connection to further NEs
- EOC embedded within the PDH radio frame for connection to the remote NEs
- EOC embedded within the 2 Mbit/s tributary G.704 frame.
• Log–in: the main controller manages the equipment or network login/logout by setting and then
controlling the user’s ID and relevant password.
• Database (MIB): validation and storing in a non–volatile memory of the equipment configuration
parameters.
• Equipment configuration: distribution of the parameters stored in the MIB towards the peripheral
µPs for their actuation in addition to the controls from user not stored in the MIB (i.e. loops, manual
forcing etc...).
• Alarm monitoring: acquisition, filtering and correlation of the alarms gathered from slaved µPs. Lo-
cal logger and alarm sending to the connected managers: SCT/LCT – NMS5UX. Management of the
alarm signalling on the LIM front panel.
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003

51
• Performances: PM management as per Recc. G.828.
• Download: the main controller is equipped with two flash memory banks containing the running pro-
gram (active bank) and the stand–by program (inactive bank). This permits to download a new soft-
ware release to the inactive bank without distributing the traffic.
Bank switch enables the new release to be used.
Download activity is based on FTP protocol which downloads application programs, FPGA configu-
ration, configuration files on main controller inactive bank or directly on the peripheral controllers.
Peripheral controllers
The peripheral controllers take place within the ODU and are slaved to main controller with the task of ac-
tivating controls and alarm reporting of dedicated functionality.
8.1.4.3 Supervision ports
The equipment management is made by SCT/LCT program through the supervision ports.
The following are made available:
• LCT/RS232 interface ports using PPP protocol and baud rate speed up to 57600
• LAN interface using IP or IPoverOSI protocols

• EOC (Embedded Overhead Channel) using a 64 kbit/s slot of the radio frame to broadcast the su-
pervision messages towards the remote terminals. The protocol used is IP or IPoverOSI.
8.2 IDU LOOPS
To control the IDU correct operation a set of local and remote loops are made available. The commands
are forwarded by the LCT/SCT program. Loop block diagram is shown by Fig.46.
8.2.1 Tributary loop
Tributary local loop
Each input tributary is routed directly to the trib. output upon receiving the command from the LCT. The
Tx line transmission is still on.
Tributary remote loop
Each tributary directed towards the Rx output line is routed back to the Tx line. The Rx line is still on.
8.2.2 Baseband unit loop
This kind of loop is only local and is activated at BI/BE level. The Tx line is still on.

9 DESCRIPTION OF THE MODULAR IDU WITH LIM
ETHERNET (2 MBIT/S TRIBUTARIES + ETHERNET
TRAFFIC)
Description that follows covers indoor unit with Ethernet ports, 1+0/1+1 Modular version. Paragraph 9.1.1
LIM Ethernet: 2 Mbit/s tributaries deals with 2 Mbit/s signals and paragraph 9.1.3 LIM Ethernet: Ethernet
traffic deals with Ethernet traffic treatment.
LIM Ethernet contains all the circuits of LIM with 2 Mbit/s interfaces plus some specific circuits for Ethernet
interface.
9.1 1+0/1+1 MODULAR IDU
Description that follows is referring to LIM/CONTROLLER/RIM modules contained into IDU.
9.1.1 LIM Ethernet: 2 Mbit/s tributaries
The LIM Ethernet performs the following operations:

ulator takes place within the RIM
version the changeover occurs at tributary level
• concatenation of 2 Mbit/s streams
• connection between a local LAN port and a remote LAN port.
9.1.2 Circuit description
Tx side
The 2/34 Mbit/s input signal is code converted from HDB3 to NRZ format before being multiplexed. The
multiplexing scheme depends on the number and the bit rate of the input tributaries.
In the following are described different multiplations:
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003

63
• 2/34 Mbit/s single tributary multiplexing. The mux performs stuffing operation and generates a pro-
prietary frame to be sent to the Bit Insertion. Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.
• 2x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The mux performs stuffing operation on each single tributary and gener-
ates a proprietary frame embedding the two tributaries to be sent to the Bit Insertion. Opposite
operation occurs at the Rx side.
• 4x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The mux aggregates the four 2 Mbit/s tributaries generating a 8448 kbit/
s frame as per Recc. G.742. The multiplexed signal is then sent to the Bit Insertion. Opposite oper-
ation occurs at the Rx side.
• 8x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The eight 2 Mbit/s tributaries are grouped in two 4x2 Mbit/s groups each
of one generating a G742 frame structure at 8448 kbit/s to be sent to the next Bit Insertion. Oppo-
site operation occurs at the Rx side.
• 16x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The sixteen 2 Mbit/s tributaries are grouped in four 4x2 Mbit/s groups
each of one generating a G.742 frame structure at 8448 kbit/s. A further multiplexing of the
achieved four 8448 kbit/s streams will generate a frame structure at 34368 kbit/s as per Recc.
G.751. This latter is to be sent to the Bit Insertion.The 2 Mbit/s wayside undergoes stuffing process
before being sent to the Bit Insertion. Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.
• 32x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. This version consisted of two multiplexers of 16x2 Mbit/s signals. Each of
one will generate a 34368 kbit/s frame structure as per Recc. G.751.
The two signals are sent to the Bit Insertion within the LIM for aggregation and stuffing process.

9.1.3 LIM Ethernet: Ethernet traffic
Two versions of LIM Ethernet are available. They only differs for interface number:
• LIM Ethernet 4x2 Mbit/s + 3x10/100BaseT
• LIM Ethernet 16x2 Mbit/s + 4x10/100BaseT
In the following Ethernet interface circuits are described.
For the description of all the other circuits relative to 2 Mbit/s interface and the structure of LIM please
refer to previous paragraph. LIM Ethernet is equipped with the following interfaces:
• electrical interface Ethernet 10/100 BaseT IEEE 802.3
• from 0 to 4x2 Mbit/s (E1) interface
• total capacity from 2 to 64 Mbit/s or 105 Mbit/s
Most important functions of LIM Ethernet are:
• concatenation of Ethernet traffic in 2 Mbit/s tributaries and relevant multiplation

• LAPS Link Access Procedure SDH (ITU X.86) for concatenated 2 Mbit/s
• switch between a local LAN port and the radio LAN port
• MAC switching
• MAC address learning
• MAC address aging
• Ethernet interface with autonegotiation 10/100, full duplex, half duplex
- Ethernet interface with Flow Control, Back Pressure, MDI/MDX crossover
• network segmentation into the switch
• virtual LAN as per IEEE 802.1q (anyone from 0 to 4095 VID for a maximum of 64 memory location)
(see Fig.52)
• layer 2 QoS, priority management as per IEEE 802.1p (see Fig.52)
• layer 3 ToS/DSCP (see Fig.54 and Fig.55)
• packet forwarding
A block diagram of LIM Ethernet module can be found into Fig.51.
Into LIM Ethernet there is a “switch” with 3 external ports and 1internal ports. External ports are electrical
Ethernet 10/100BaseT interfaces placed on the front panel. Internal port is connected to radio side stream.
Ethernet traffic coming from external ports goes to internal port radio side. The radio side port is connected
to one or two streams group of concatenated 2 Mbit/s. One stream for capacity up to 16x2 Mbit/s and two
streams for capacity of 12 – 16 2 Mbit/s streams, plus other 16x2 Mbit/s streams in case of maximum
capacity.
In Tx side Ethernet traffic is packet into a protocol called LAPS similar to HDLC. The resulting stream is
divided into the used number of 2 Mbit/s streams. The 2 Mbit/s streams are then multiplexed, like into
standard LIM, together with 2 Mbit/s arriving from front panel, the resulting stream goes to the modulator,
see Fig.51.
In Rx the stream arriving from the demodulator is divided into the 2 Mbit/s streams, like into standard LIM,
then the 2 Mbit/s not used into the front panel 2 Mbit/s are concatenated and sent to Ethernet circuits.
Resulting stream, after LAPS protocol control, is sent to switch internal port.
9.1.3.1 2 Mbit/s tributaries
LIM Ethernet module uses the 16x2 Mbit/s mode of AL radio link. Tributary channels at 2 Mbit/s (E1) are
connected to 8 coaxial connectors 1.0/2.3 into front panel. 2 Mbit/s streams are multiplexed as into stand-
ard LIM.
From 0 to 16 2 Mbit/s tributaries can be selected to be used via SCT/LCT program, all the other available
2 Mbit/s are sent to switch internal port.
66
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
For 100 Mbit/s version can be selected up to 2 tributaries, position number 3 and 4 in tributary connectors
are available for wayside connection (2 Mbit/s each).
9.1.3.2 Electrical Ethernet interface
The electrical Ethernet/Fast Ethernet interfaces are type IEEE 802.3 10/100BaseT with RJ45 connector. For
input or output signals at RJ45 please refer to chapter 19 MODULAR IDU USER CONNECTIONS. Cable can
be UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) or STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) Category 5.
Standard coding:
• Ethernet 10 Mbit/s: Manchester
• Fast Ethernet 100 Mbit/s: MLT–3 ternary
EMC/EMI protection:
• input and output pins are galvanically isolated through a transformer
• to reduce EMI every pin at RJ45 connector is terminated even if not used
• two signal lines are equipped with low capacity secondary protection to sustain residuals of possible
electrostatic discharges (ESD).
With LCT/SCT program it is possible to activate autonegotiation (speed/duplex/flow control) on 10/
100BaseT interface.
9.1.3.3 Front panel LEDs
On FEM front panel there are a total of 6 Leds. There are 2 Leds for any Ethernet interface:
• DUPLEX: colour green, On = full duplex, OFF = half duplex
• LINK/ACT: colour green, ON = link up without activity, OFF = link down, BLINKING = link with ac-
tivity on Rx and Tx.
9.1.3.4 Switch function
A radio link AL equipped with a LIM/Ethernet module can operate like a switch between two or more sep-
arated LANs with the following advantages:
• to connect two separated LANs at a distance even greater than the maximum limits of 2.5 km (for
Ethernet)
• to connect two LANs via radio within a complex digital network
• to keep separated the traffic into two LANs towards MAC filtering to get a total traffic greater than
traffic in a single LAN.
The switch realized into LIM/Ethernet module is transparent (IEEE 802.1d and 802.q) into the same Vlan
described by VLAN Configuration Table. It works at data link level, Layer 2 of OSI pile, and leave untouched
Layer 3 and it takes care to send traffic from a local LAN to another (Local or Remote). Routing is only on
the basic of Level 2 addresses, sublevel MAC.
The operation is the following:
• when a LAN interface receives a MAC frame, on the basis of destination address, it decides which
LAN to send it
• if destination address is on originating LAN the frame is discarded
• if destination address is a known address (towards address learning procedure) and is present into
local address table the frame is sent only on destination LAN (MAC switching)
• otherwise the frame is sent to all ports with the same VLAN ID (flooding).
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003

67
The switch is very different from a Hub, which copies slavishly everything that receives from a line on all
the others. The switch, in fact, acquires a frame, analyses it, reconstruct it and routes it and compensates
also the different speeds of the interfaces, therefore an input can be at 100 Mbit/s and output at 10 Mbit/s.
The mechanism is the following:
• from the moment of its activation, the switch examines all the frames that arrive it from different
LANs, and on these basis it builds its routing tables progressively.
In fact, every received frame allows to know on what LAN the sending station is located (MAC ad-
dress learning).
• every frame that arrives to the switch is rebroadcasted:
- if the switch has the destination address into the routing table, sends the frame only into the
corresponding LAN
- otherwise the frame is sent to all the LANs except the originating (flooding)
- as soon as the swicth increases its knowledge of different machines, the retransmission becomes
more and more selective (and therefore more efficient)
• the routing tables are updated every some minutes (programmable), removing addresses not alive
in the last period (so, if a machine is moved, within a few minute it is addressed correctly) (MAC
address aging).
The whole process is restricted to the ports which are members of the same Vlan as described into Vlan
Configuration Table.
9.1.3.5 Ethernet Full Duplex function
The first realizations of the Ethernet network were on coaxial cable with the 10Base5 standard.
According to this standard Ethernet interfaces (e.g. PC) are connected to the coaxial cable in parallel and
are normally in receiving mode. Only one PC, at a certain time, transmits on the cable, the others are re-
ceiving, so this is half duplex mode, and only one PC uses the received message.
Then the coaxial cable was progressively replaced by the pairs cable Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) as per
10BaseT standard. Normally there are four pairs into UTP Cat5 cable but two pairs are used with 10BaseT,
one for Tx one for Rx. Into 10Base5 and 10BaseT standards, network protocols are the same the difference
lays into the electrical interface. UTP cable is connected point to point between a hub and a Ethernet in-
terface. Network structure is a star where the server is connected to a hub and from this a UTP cable is
laid down for each Ethernet interface starts.
The further step is to replace the hub with a more powerful equipment, e.g. a switch. In this case it is
possible to activate transmission on both pairs at the same time, on one twisted pair for one direction, on
the other pair for opposite direction. Thus we obtain full duplex transmission on UTP.
Activating full duplex transmission it is possible to obtain a theoretical increase of performance of nearly
100%. Full duplex mode can be activated into 10/100BaseT interfaces manually or with autonegotiation
100BaseFx operates always into full duplex mode.
9.1.3.6 Link Loss Forwarding
Link Loss Forwarding (LLF) is an alarm status of ethernet interface.
LLF can be enabled or disabled. If LLF is enabled an US radio alarm condition will generate the alarm status
of Ethernet interface blocking any transmission to it. LLF can be enabled for each ports at front panel. With
LLF enabled the equipment connected (routers, switches so on) can be notified that radio link is not avail-
able and can temporarily reroute the traffic.
9.1.3.7 MDI/MDIX cross–over
The Ethernet electrical interface into FEM module can be defined by SCT program as MDI or MDIX to cross–
over between pairs so that external cross–over cable is not required.

9.1.3.8 VLAN functionality
LIM Ethernet module works with IEEE 802.1q and 802.1p tag for VLANs and QoS see Fig.52.
The virtual LAN (VLAN) are logical separated subnets so that all the stations, into VLAN, seem to be into
the same physical LAN segment even if they are geographically separated.
The VLAN are used to separate traffic on the same physical LAN too. Station operating on the same physical
LAN but on different VLAN work in separated mode thus they do not share broadcast and multicast mes-
sages. This results in a reduction of broadcast generated traffic and above all we get more security thanks
to network separation.
Tag position and structure are shown into Fig.52.
Tag is made up with:
• a fixed word of 2 bytes
• 3 bits for priority according 802.1p
• 1 fixed bit
• 12 bits VLAN identifier (VLAN ID) according 802.1q.
Switch crossconnections are based on Vlan Configuration Table where input and output ports or only output
ports should be defined for any used VID.
Vlan Configuration Table has 64 position for Vlan ID range from 1 to 4095.
9.1.3.9 Switch organized by port
The switch can be organized on port basis treating both Tagged and Untagged packets in the same way.
For each input port it is possible to define where to route the incoming traffic; one or more of the other
ports can be Enabled to exit the incoming traffic. These types of connection are monodirectional. For a
dibirectional connection between a generic Lan A and Lan B it is necessary to set the connection from Lan
A to Lan B and from Lan B to Lan A.
LIM Ethernet has external ports and one internal port, radio side. The internal switch can connect two or
more ports together.
Then MAC address bridging rules will be applied to this packet. It is possible to select that a packet follows
the description of Vlan Configuration Table for its Vlan ID.
Another selection is to follow only Vlan Configuration Table.
Packets can exit from a port as Unmodified or all Tagged either all Untagged. Unteggad packets will take
default tags.
For output operations there are 3 selections:
• unmodified: tagged packets keep their tag. Untagged packets remain untagged
• tagged: all the packets will exit tagged, tagged packets keep their tag, untagged packets take De-
fault VID of incoming port.
• untagged: all the packets will exit untagged.
9.1.3.10 Switch organized by VLAN ID
Vlan Configuration Table
Vlan Configuration Table defines a list of Vlan ID, For any Vlan ID some ports are members of Vlan others
are not members. Ports members of a Vlan are allowed to receive and send packets with that Vlan. Switch
dinamically assigns packets to the output port according their VLAN ID.
Packets aren’t sent out to that port unless they belong to one of the Vlan of which the port is a member.
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003

69
The ports, from which the packet can be sent, are defined in the VLAN Table. The VLAN of incoming packet
is filtered only if the parameter “Ingress Filtering Check” is set as “Secure”.
After having filtered the ports from which packet can go out according to VALN Table, the control of packet
and port Vlan membership MAC address bridging rules will be applied to this packet.
Ingress Filtering Check
This is a process to check an incoming packet to compare its Valn ID to input port’s Vlan membership. With
Ingress Filtering Check it is possible to permit only to tagged packets to enter the switch. If the port is not
member of the Vlan n. XX all the incoming packets with Vlan ID XX will be dropped.
There are 3 option into Ingress Filtering Check to manage incoming packets:
• Disable: all Tagged and Untagged packets can transit into the switch following setting of switch or-
ganized by port.
• Fallback: Incoming packets without TAG 802.1q follow the rules of switch organized by port, Tagged
frames with Vlan ID described into the Vlan Configuration Table follow the rules of the table, Tagged
frames with Vlan ID not described into the Vlan Configuration Table follow the rules of switch or-
ganized by port.
• Secure: Incoming packets without TAG 802.1q cannot enter the switch, Tagged frames with Vlan
ID described into the Vlan Configuration Table follow the rules of the table, Tagged frames with Vlan
ID not described into the Vlan Configuration Table cannot enter the switch.
Operations at the input. At the input port the packet is received and a switching decision must be made.
The switch analyses the Vlan ID (if present) and decides whether and where to forward the frame. If the
received packet is untagged, the switch sends the packet to the port specified into incoming port “Lan per
port” settings. If the packet is tagged the switch check the other destination ports to find at least one with
the same Vlan ID and put the packet into output port queue. If the Vlan ID is not listed into Vlan Config-
uration Table the switch sends the packet to the port specified into incoming port “Lan per port” settings.
Then MAC address bridging rules will be applied to this packet.
Operations at the output. For each output port there are the following selections for outgoing packets.
• Disable output port
• Enable unchanged: tagged packets keep their tag. Untagged packets remain untagged.
• Enable tagged: all the packets will exit tagged with Vlan ID specified into Vlan Configuration Table,
tagged packets keep their tag, untagged packets take Default VID of incoming port.
• Untagged: all the packets will exit untagged.
9.1.3.11 Layer 2, Priority function, QoS, 802.1p
Some services as voice overIP and videoconference have some time limits to work properly. A solution is
to increase the priority of time sensitive packets. In this case random crowding coming from other services
affects the delay of prioritized packets a lot less.
Into LIM Ethernet module different priority of incoming packets is managed using Tag defined into IEEE
802.1p (see Fig.52).
Every switch output port holds 4 output queues: queue 4 has highest priority, queue 0 has the lowest pri-
ority (see Fig.53).
Priority can be organized by incoming port or by incoming priority tag:
• Priority by incoming port. For Untagged packets at each input ports it is decided to send the packets
to one of the 4 queues of output ports defining which is the Default Priority Queue: Queue = 0, 1,
2, 3. For Tagged packets it is necessary to Disable Priority so they will go in the same queue of
Untagged packets.
• Priority by incoming priority. For tagged packets for each priority tag (3 bits = for 7 priority levels)
it is possible to define where to send the packets, into Queue from 0 to 3. Priority must be enable
on 802.1p mode only or IpToS mode only (see next paragraph) or first check 802.1p mode and
IpToS mode either first check IpToS mode only (see next paragraph) or first check 802.1p mode
and IpToS mode either first check IpToS mode and then 808.1q. For untagged packets the priority
is defined only by incoming port..
70
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
• Outgoing packet policy at output ports can be WFQ (Wait Fair Queue) with fixed proportional output
policy (8 packets from Queue 3, 4 from Queue 2, 4 from Queue 1, 1 from Queue 0) or “Strict Pri-
ority” that means that a queue completely empties before processing the next one.
9.1.3.12 Layer 3, Priority function, QoS, IP–V4 ToS (DSCP)
Only for IP packets it is possible to use incoming Layer 3 ToS (see Fig.54) to prioritize incoming packets.
The 8 bits available can be read as 7 bits of ToS or 6 bits of DSCP as shown in Fig.55.
According priority defined into ToS/DSCP the packet is sent into high priority queue low priority queue of
output ports.
With SCT/LCT program it is possible to select a different output queue for any ToS/DSCP priority level at
each input port.

12.6 2 Mbit/s TRIBUTARY INTERFACE
The 2 Mbit/s tributary interface is 75 Ohm or 120 Ohm. Both interfaces are present into the front panel
connectors the user can select the interface to use, preparing in the correct way the relevant cabling.
12.7 MATRIX STM1+16E1 (1RU and 2RU)
Matrix module provides 16x2 Mbit/s interfaces and one SDH STM1 port. STM1 port is protected by two
STM1 interfaces that can be available electrical or optical (different 2 plug-in modules).
STM1 is terminated and the contained E1 streams are sent to switch matrix, where E1 streams can be re-
directed towards radio link, towards 2 Mbit/s interface or remapped into STM-1, or by means of NBUS to-
wards other IDUs equipped with Matrix. Modular IDU Plus is operating in MST mode and has a complete
SETS synchronisation circuit with input and output synchronisation signals.
Maximum capacity of LIM STM1+16E1 is:
• 53E1 for terminal 1+0
• 53E1 for terminal 1+1
• 79E1 for terminal 2x(1+0).

With drop-insert configuration (only into 2RU, see Fig.58) it is possible to manage up to 4 directions radio
(full capacity) with the possibility to drop-insert freely the 2 Mbit/s streams arriving from the 4 directions
and from front panel according the capacity of the switch matrix (32E1).
For example with 32E1 the maximum drop-insert possibilities is 32 tributaries but total capacity is limited
by total capacity of 4 directions. If total capacity of 4 directions is less then 32E1 that is the drop-insert
limit.
Maximum capacity arriving from the 4 radios is with 4 link at 53E1 for a total of 212 E1. For any configu-
ration the switch matrix is no blocking. A repeater can be done without activating local E1 ports.

A node can be made up of up to 3 subracks of 2RU so that we can have up to 12 maximum independent
radio directions.
On the front panel of the STM1+16E1 matrix there are two “NBUS” ports (1 and 2) which must be con-
nected to other one or two 2RU subracks as in Fig.59 and Fig.60.
The connection among the subracks are made by cables of CAT7 quality, SIAE code F03471 length 75 cm,
to insert into the NBUS connectors (1 and 2) on the front panel.
Each subrack must be defined as NodeA, NodeB or NodeC. The cables among the NBUS must be connected
only as in Fig.59 and Fig.60.
NBUS can operate in Protected modality or in Not Protected modality. Each NBUS carries 126 E1’s. In case
of Not Protected modality, all the 126 E1’s of the NBUS are used to connect a subrack to the other for a
total amount of 252 E1 connections available on the NBUS.
In case of Protected modality, the unused connections, for example between node A (NBUS1) and node B
(NBUS1) are used as protection of the connections between node A (NBUS1) and node B (NBUS1); for
example 63 E1’s are used between node A and node B and the other 63 E1’s are used as protection of the
connections between node A and node C, the connections used as protection pass from node B in pass-
through modality without need of programming.
Warning: for the best operation of the protected modality, it is necessary to choose the shortest path as
preferential connection; for example, for the connections between A and B choose the connections between
A and B as preferential; for the connection between A and C choose the connections between A and C as
preferential.
In case of protected modality, the system displays, by means of the SCT/LCT program in the cross-con-
nection window, only the NBUS with 126 E1’s (subdivided in two parts for a better graphic display). The
unused E1 ports are automatically programmed as pass-through between NBUS1 and NBUS2 but these
connections are not displayed in SCT/LCT.
In case of unprotected modality, the system displays, by means of the SCT/LCT program in the cross-con-
nection window, the NBUS1 and NBUS2 buses each one with 126 E1’ (subdivided in two parts for a better
graphic display).
The troubles in the connections between the NBUS buses are signalled by alarms.
In case of protected modality, if the cable carrying the traffic is broken, an alarm is issued on the relevant
NBUS port, the equipment software switches the traffic on the other operating NBUS cable.
12.9.1 Expansion from 2 to 3 nodes
Suppose that the nodes A and B already exist and that you must add the node C. Disconnect the cable
between NBUS2 node A and NBUS2 node B, the traffic is automatically switched to the other cable, if nec-
essary.
By SCT/LCT, re-program the nodes A and B as nodes with 3 items.
By SCT/LCT, re-program the node C as nodeC, protected and define the node with 3 items.
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003

87
Connect the NBUS2 of the node A with NBUS1 of node C, connect the NBUS2 of the node B with NBUS2 of
the node C as in Fig.59.
Program the interested cross-connections between node A and node C and between node B and node C;
the unused connections are automatically assigned to the pass-through between node A and node B.
The same procedure can be used even if the added node is different from C.
12.9.2 Reduction from 3 to 2 nodes
Suppose that the nodes A, B and C already exist and that the node C must be removed.
Delete all the cross-connections between the node C and the node A and between the node C and the node
B.
Remove the cables of the NBUS which go to node C.
Connect the node A NBUS2 to the node B NBUS2 as in Fig.60.
The same procedure can be used even if the deleted node is different from C.
In NMS5UX/LX the three nodes A, B, C are managed as a single equipment.

For each subrack of the node, a maximum of 4 radio streams of 53E1 arrive, for a total of 212E1. Each
subrack can cross-connect, in no-locking mode, 212E1 (via radio) + 2x126E1 (via NBUS) + 16E1 (via SCSI
connector on the front side) + 2x63E1 (via STM-1) for a total of 606E1.
A node of 3 subracks with 2RU can cross-connect, in no-locking mode, up to 3x212E1 (via radio) + 3x16E1
(via SCSI connector on the front side) + 6x63E1 (via STM1) for a total of 1062E1 (see Fig.61).
The Nodal equipment with SDH STM1 interface is a Regenerator Section Termination (RST) and a Multiplex
Section Termination (MST) therefore it generates the STM-1 frame and has an internal synchronization cir-
cuit SETS. The synchronization of the Node is distributed on the NBUS.
The SETS circuit can be seen as a single circuit which provides to the synchronization of the three subracks.
The SETS circuit can be disabled if only PDH interfaces are present in the node
For each Nodal subrack, the STM-1 interface can be duplicated (1+1 MSP) for the possible protection of
the connection via cable.

• Unequipped
• LOS

12.10 DYNAMIC MODULATION
During the period of bad propagation, the system changes modulation to increase the system gain keeping
constant the transmitted band, decreasing the transmitted capacity and increasing the availability of the
system for the privileged traffic.
With the dynamic modulation, about the half of the traffic is saved, without the dynamic modulation all the
traffic would be lost at the reaching of the BER threshold of 10-3.
The modulation switches from 32QAM to 4QAM or to 16QAM to 4QAM as in Tab.14.
Tab.14 - Capacity change
Modulation 16/32QAM from Modulation 4QAM to
4x2 @ 16QAM no dynamic modulation
5x2 @ 16QAM no dynamic modulation
8x2 @ 16QAM 4x2 @ 4QAM
10x2 @ 16QAM 5x2 @ 4QAM

42x2 @ 16QAM 21x2 @ 4QAM
53x2 @ 32QAM 21x2 @ 4QAM
The reduction of the traffic capacity is communicated to NMS by means of the Reduced Capacity Alarm.
12.10.1 Capacity reduction
Conditions for the request of modulation change from 32/16QAM to 4QAM by the receiver with lower qual-
ity (B):
1 the PTx power of the transmitter A towards B has reached the maximum value with ATPC active and
Max PTx value set to the maximum value
2 the PRx power at the receiver B is lower than the ATPC Low Thresholds and then more power is
required to the transmitter
3 BER at the receiver B is lowest than 10-9.
For the restore of the modulation from 4QAM to 16/32QAM, the following conditions are necessary on both
sides:
1 the PTx power at 4QAM is equal to the maximum power possible for the modulation 16/32QAM
2 the ATPC circuit is not requiring the increase of the Tx power of the remote transmitter
3 no error is occurred in the last seconds (default: 10 seconds).
90
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
Note: If maximum PTx at 4QAM is 20dBm and the maximum PTx at 16QAM is 15dBm then the difference
is 5dB the PTx Boost value can be from 0 to 5dB. If the ATPC values are not correct, the dynamic modu-
lation is not activated.
The Performance Monitoring are reported as 16QAM. The AIS on the tributaries is not available.
The Upgrade of equipment already installed can be executed by means of the simple download from the
supervision network.
12.10.2 Setting with SCT/LCT
A green light signal shows that the dynamic modulation is active, the orange light signal signals that the
reduction of modulation is active: in this case the Reduced Capacity Alarm is active.
Warning: no configuration change must be made when the Dynamic Modulation is active. In detail, if a loop
must be executed, first deactivate the Dynamic Modulation.
PTx Boost: increase of PTx power with reduced modulation, default 5Db Receiving Hysteresis: number of
dB from the Prx level with BER 10-9, default 2dB.
Atpc Hysteresis for recovering: hysteresis of Atpc from the restore of 16QAM, default 0dB.
Recovering timeout: seconds with PRx level stable before the restore of the 16QAM modulation, default
10sec.
Tx power Overboost: increase of the Tx power of 3dB with 16QAM modulation. Enable only if allowed by
the laws of Your country.

14.3 IDU CHARACTERISTICS
14.3.1 Management of tributaries
A 2 Mbit/s tributary can be managed by cross connection matrix in different ways:
• Ring Protection – A tributary is inserted (transmitted) in radio aggregate frame towards both direc-
tion and can be dropped (received) from one direction or from the other depending on cross con-
nection and E1 switch criteria
• Pass through – IDU works as repeater, tributary coming from one direction is sent to the other
• Loop – E1 accessing the matrix from East side or West side can be looped back towards its origin.
14.3.2 Capacity
IDU max capacity depends on modulation used:

• 16QAM – max capacity is 32x2 Mbit/s with maximum 16 tributaries with protected connections
(Drop/Insert). Lower capacity can be set.
• 4QAM – max capacity is 16x2 Mbit/s and in this configuration all tributaries can be set in DropInsert
or in Pass through (in this last configuration the three sides of the matrix have the same capacity:
16x2 Mbit/s). Lower capacity can be set.
System can work with one branch capacity different than the other.
14.3.3 E1 switching criteria
In network configuration where thus East/West repeater IDU is employed as a Ring Protection, where a
direction protects the other on the opposite direction, the E1 drop can be managed through suitable E1
switching criteria:
1 Manual forcing
2 2 Mbit/s G.704 alarms (AIS, OOF, OOMF, BER6) where:
- AIS: presence of AIS
- OOF: out of E1 frame
- OOMF: out of E1 multiframe
- BER6: BER = 10–6
3 Preferential.
14.4 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Description that follows is referring to MATRIX/PROCESSOR/CONTROLLER/RIM module the IDU consists of.
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003

105
14.4.1 Matrix
Matrix module presents on front panel the 2 Mbit/s connectors and contains the sixteen relevant electrical
interface and the cross connection matrix.
The matrix allows connections of 2 Mbit/s streams with following capacities and directions:
• east side – 32x2 Mbit/s, subdivided from 1 to 16 one at a time and from 17 to 32 framed inside a
34368 kbit aggregate
• west side – 32x2 Mbit/s, subdivided from 1 to 16 one at a time and from 17 to 32 framed inside a
34368 kbit aggregate
• towards front panel – 16x2 Mbit/s 75 ohm.
Function performed by matrix module are the following:
• code conversion of 2 Mbit/s streams in input and output (for Drop/Insert operations)
• tributary transit between East and West
• tributary transit towards one or both directions, in position not involved in tributary transit
• tributary drop from East or West or from one of them using appropriate switching criteria.
Tributaries cross connected by matrix are sent and received to/from East and/or West processor module,
depending on their direction and connection.
Hitless Rx switch between 2 Mbit/s streams, coming from East and West, can work with relative delay up
to 7 ms.
14.4.2 Processor
Operations performed by processor module depend on selected capacity and modulation.
Tx side
• 32x2 Mbit/s (available in 16QAM only) – processor module receives from matrix 32 tributaries, the
first sixteen one by one and the second sixteen inside a 34368 kbit/s aggregate. The first sixteen
tributaries, in MUX block, are grouped in a frame structure at 34368 kbit/s as per Recc. G751. In
this way two aggregates at 34368 kbit/s are sent to the Bit Insertion. The 2 Mbit/s wayside under-
goes stuffing process before being sent to the B.I.
After B.I. signal at 77760 kbit/s is sent to modulator.
• 16x2 Mbit/s – Processor module receives from Matrix 16 tributaries. The sixteen tributaries are
grouped in a frame structure at 34368 kbit/s as per Recc. G751. In this way the aggregate at 34368
kbit/s is sent to the Bit Insertion. The 2 Mbit/s wayside undergoes stuffing process before being sent
to the B.I. After B.I. signal at 38880 kbit/s is sent to modulator.
• 8x2 Mbit/s – Processor module receives from matrix 8 tributaries. These are grouped in two 4x2
Mbit/s groups generating a G.742 frame structure at 8448 kbit/s and sent to the Bit Insertion. After
B.I. signal at 19440 kbit/s is sent to modulator.
• 4x2 Mbit/s – Processor module receives from matrix 4 tributaries. These are grouped in one 4x2
Mbit/s group generating a G.742 frame structure at 8448 kbit/s and sent to the Bit Insertion. After
B.I. signal at 9720 kbit/s is sent to modulator.
• 2x2 Mbit/s – Processor module receives from matrix 2 tributaries. These are grouped in a proprie-
tary frame and sent to the Bit Insertion. After B.I. signal at 4860 kbit/s is sent to modulator.
An additional Service Mux/Demux is provided to aggregate various service signal interfaces by Controller
module. Achieved stream is sent to BI/BE to obtain the aggregate frame (various bit rate depending on
capacity set) for block MOD/DEMOD.
This aggregate frame contains:
• main signal from MUX and from MATRIX
• aggregate signal from service MUX
106
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
• EOC signal for supervision towards remote equipment
• Frame Alignment Word
• Bits dedicated to FEC.
Processor also includes digital process of modulating signal to be sent to the mixer of QAM modulator inside
RIM. The digital process includes:
• generation of shaped modulating signal I and Q towards the RIM module.
Rx side
From connected RIM, Processor module receives I and Q analogue signals, converts them in digital form
and performs:
• clock recovery

• bit decision
• parallel to serial conversion to recover aggregate signal.
Aggregate signal is sent to a frame alignment circuit and CRC analysis and after to error corrector block
(FEC). Errors are properly counted to achieve:
• Radio performances.
HBER alarm is used to insert AIS in Rx signal.

Achieved signal is sent to Bit Ex circuit that, depending on capacity and modulation, performs in opposite
way the operations mentioned in Tx side.

16 OUTDOOR UNIT DESCRIPTION
16.1 GENERAL
The 1+0 ODU (refer to Fig.75 or to Fig.77) consists of a two shell aluminium mechanical structure, one
shell housing all the ODU circuits, the other forming the covering plate.
On the ODU are accessible:
• the “N” type connector for cable interfacing IDU and ODU
• the “BNC” connector for connection to a multimeter with the purpose to measure the received field
strength
• a ground bolt.
The 1+1 hot stand–by version (refer to Fig.76) consist of two 1+0 ODUs mechanically secured to a struc-
ture housing the hybrid for the antenna connection.
ODU exists in two different versions, AL and AS. They differs about dimensions and output power.
AS ODU is also called Universal because it can work with ALS equipment (SDH).
16.2 TRANSMIT SECTION
Refer to block diagram shown in Fig.78.
The 330 MHz QAM modulated carrier from the cable interface (see chapter 16.4 CABLE INTERFACE) is for-
warded to a mixer passing through a cable equalizer for cable loss compensation up to 40 dB at 330 MHz.
The mixer and the following bandpass filter give rise to a second IF Tx carrier the frequency of which de-
pends on the go/return frequency value. The mixer is of SHP type.
The IF Tx frequency is µP controlled. Same happens to Rx IF and RF local oscillators. This latter is common
to both Tx and Rx sides.
The IF carrier is converted to RF and then amplified making use of a MMIC circuit. The conversion mixer is
SSB type with side band selection.
The power at the MMIC output can be manually attenuated by 40 dB, 1 dB step.
Total attenuation is 40 dB including the 20 dB attenuator that follows.
The automatic adjustment is performed making use of an ATPC (see paragraph 16.5 ATPC OPERATION for
details). The regulated output power is kept constant against amplifier stage gain variation by a feedback
including the AGC.
Before reaching the antenna side the RF signal at the output of MMIC passes through the following circuits:
• a decoupler plus detector diode to measure the output power
• a circulator to protect the amplifier stages against possible circuit mismatch.
• a ON/OFF switch for 1+1 operation
• an RF bandpass filter for antenna coupling.
An RF coupler plus a detector and a shift oscillator made up the RF loop which is enabled upon receiving a
µP control. The RF loop permits the Tx power to return back to receive side thus controlling the total local
radio terminal performance.
118
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
16.3 RECEIVE SECTION
The RF signal from the Rx bandpass filter is sent to a low noise amplifier that improves the receiver sen-
sitivity. The following down–converter translates the RF frequency to approximately 765 MHz. The conver-
sion mixer is SSB type. The sideband selection is given through a µP control.
A second down converter generates the 140 MHz IF carrier to be sent to the demodulator within the IDU.
The level of the IF carrier is kept constant to –5 dBm thank to the IF amplifier stages, AGC controlled,
distributed in the IF chain. In addition the AGC gives a measure of the receive RF level.
Between two amplifiers a bandpass filter assures the required selectivity to the receiver. The filter is SAW
type and the bandwidth depends on the transmitted capacity.
16.4 CABLE INTERFACE
The cable interface permits to interface the cable interconnecting IDU to ODU and viceversa.
It receives/transmits the following signals:
• 330 MHz (from IDU to ODU)
• 140 MHz (from ODU to IDU)

• 17.5 MHz (from IDU to ODU)
• 5.5 MHz (from ODU to IDU)
• remote power supply.

The 17.5 MHz and 5.5 MHz FSK modulated carriers, carry the telemetry channel. This latter consists of two
388 kbit/s streams one from IDU to ODU with the information to manage the ODU (RF power, RF frequen-
cy, capacity, etc...) while the other, from ODU to IDU, sends back to IDU measurements and alarms of the
ODU. The ODU management is made by a µP.
16.5 ATPC OPERATION
The ATPC regulates the RF output power of the local transmitter depending on the value of the RF level at
the remote terminal. This value has to be preset from the local terminal as threshold high and low. The
difference between the two thresholds must be equal or higher than 3 dB.
As soon as the received level crosses the preset threshold level low (see Fig.81) due to the increase of the
hop attenuation, a microP at the received side of the remote terminal sends back to the local terminal a
control to increase the transmitted power. The maximum ATPC range is 40 dB.
If the hop attenuation decreases and the threshold high is crossed then the control sent by the microP
causes the output power to decrease.
16.6 1+1 Tx SYSTEM
The two ODUs are coupled to the antenna side via a balanced or unbalanced hybrid.
1+1 Tx switching occurs in the 1+1 hot stand–by 1 antenna or 2 antennas versions as shown in Fig.79 and
Fig.80.
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003

119
The transmitter switchover is electromechanical type and consists of two ON/OFF switches within the two
ODUs that assure at least 40 dB insulation on the stand–by transmitter.
Transmit alarm priority is shown in Tab.18.

16.7 POWER SUPPLY
The battery voltage is dropped from the cable interface and then sent to a DC/DC converter to generate
three stabilized output voltages to be distributed to the ODU circuitry:
• +3.5 V
• a voltage comprised between +6.2 V and +8.2 V to power MMIC amplifiers operating at different
frequency bands
• a –12 V through an inverter circuit.
Each voltage is protected against overcurrent with automatic restart.
Protection against overvoltage occurs as soon as the output voltage raises more than 15% respect to the
nominal voltage. The restart is automatic.

specified as limit in installation instructions of the waveguide supplier.
In case of flexible wave guide use, Tab.55 shows the maximum bending radius.
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003

157
23.2 REQUIRED TOOLS FOR MOUNTING (NOT SUPPLIED)
• N.2 13mm torque wrench
• N.1 15 mm torque wrench

• N.1 3 mm Allen wrench
Warning: if screwing operation concerns more than one screw or bolt, tighten subsequently everyone and
its opposite, step by step.
23.3 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Installation procedure proceeds according to the following steps:
• Version 1+0: installation onto the pole of the supporting plate 2
• Version 1+0: installation onto the pole of the support plate by Band-it
• Version 1+1: installation onto the pole of the supporting plate 2
• Installation of the ODU (common to both 1+0 and 1+1 version)
• ODU grounding
1+0 version – Installation onto the pole of the supporting plate
Fig.98 – Mount antislide strip around the pole. The position of the plastic blocks depends on the position
of the supporting plate (see next step)
Fig.99 – Adhere the supporting plate to the antisliding strip plastic blocks and then secure it to the pole
through the fixing bracket for 60–114 mm pole (see Fig.99). Bolts and nuts are available on the supporting
plate. Tightening torque must be 32 Nm.
Warning: As shown in Fig.100 an adapting kit must be used for the 219 mm pole. It consists of an addi-
tional plate to enlarge the standard supporting plate dimension and relevant U–bolt for 219 mm pole fixing.
Fig.101 – Fix the flexible waveguide to the antenna side flange. Four fixing screws are available the dimen-
sions of which depend on the waveguide type. Tighten progressively and alternatively the four screws with
the following torque:
Tab.53 - Torques for tightening screws
Frequencies Screw Tool Torque
from 18 to 38 GHz Allen screw M3 Allen key 2.5 mm 1 Nm
up to 15 GHz Allen screw M4 Allen key 3 mm 2 Nm
Fig.101 – Fix the antenna side flange to the support with ODU fast locking mechanism. The flange can be
mounted horizontally (as shown in Fig.101) or vertically as function of convenience.
Fig.102 – Fix the support with ODU fast locking mechanism to the supporting plate making use of available
bolts and nuts. Fig.102 shows the possible positions. Tightening torque must be 18 Nm.
2 In case of 219 mm pole, an adapting kit is supplied for the purpose.
158
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
1+0 version – Installation onto the pole of the supporting plate by Band-it
In case of 1+0 ODU installation, a Band-it pole mounting kit can be used: through slots (see Fig.103) on
the supporting plate two metallic bands secure the plate on the pole. Band characteristics are:
• thickness 0.76 mm
• width 19 mm.
It is also possible to use the anti-sliding system (optional).
1+1 version – Installation onto the pole of the supporting plate
Fig.98 – Mount antislide strip around the pole. The position of the plastic blocks depends on the position
of the supporting plate (see next step)
Fig.99 – Position the supporting plate to the antisliding strip plastic blocks and then secure it to the pole
through the fixing bracket for 60–114 mm pole (see Fig.99). Bolts and nuts are available on the supporting
plate kit. Tightening torque must be 32 Nm.
Fig.104 – Secure the hybrid with ODU fast locking mechanism to the supporting plate using bolt and nuts
available on the support plate. Tightening torque must be 18 Nm.
Remove the plastic cover from the hybrid flange sides.
Warning: Do not remove the foil from the hybrid flange sides.
Warning: It is advisable to shape the waveguide flexible trunk, connecting ODU flange with antenna flange
as shown in Fig.107. This avoids possible condensate to be channelled towards the ODU flange.
Installation of the ODU
1 Remove the plastic cover from the ODU flange side. Apply silicon grease e.g. type RHODOSIL PATE
4 to the O–ring of Fig.106.
Warning: Do not remove the foil from the flange.
2 Bring the ODU with the two hands and position the ODU handle at the bottom side.
3 Position the ODU body close to the support with ODU fast locking mechanism and align ODU side
flange (see Fig.106) to antenna side flange (see Fig.101 – 1+0 version) or hybrid side flange (see
Fig.104 – 1+1 version).
Note: For 1+0 version the ODU can assume positions of Fig.105 depending on the polarisation.
4 With respect to the flange alignment, turn the ODU body approx. 30° anti–clockwise and then insert
the ODU body into the support and search for alignment between reference tooth on the support
(see Fig.101 – 1+0 version or Fig.104 – 1+1 version) and ODU body reference tooth (see detail
Fig.106)
5 When alignment is achieved, turn the ODU body clockwise until “clack” is heard and the ODU rota-
tion stops.
6 Secure ODU body on the support by tightening bolts (1) (see Fig.101 – 1+0 version or Fig.104 –
1+1 version). Tightening torque must be 6 Nm.
Final assembly of 1+1 version is shown in Fig.107. A parasol mounting is optionally possible.

LINE-UP
29 LINE–UP OF THE RADIO HOP
29.1 LINE–UP OF THE RADIO HOP
The line–up consists of the following steps:

• on site radio terminal installation (user connections and ODU installation as described in the rele-
vant chapters)
• equipment switch–on
• equipment configuration (through PC software)
• antenna alignment for maximum received RF signal level
• network element configuration
• check measurements.
Equipment installation is described in Section 3. INSTALLATION.
29.1.1 Equipment configuration
In order to have the link working properly, in the local and remote equipment the same parameters have
to be set:
• system layout (1+0, 1+1 hot stand-by, 1+1 frequency diversity.....) (Equipment - General)
• capacity (Equipment - General)
• modulation (Equipment - General)
• link ID (Equipment - General)
• RF channel (Radio - Radio Branch)
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003

245
The software to run is relevant to the equipment to configure:
• LCT in case of AL, ALC AL Plus
• WEB LCT in case of ALC Plus.
Traffic (Baseband - Tributary)
Used tributaries must be enabled on local and on remote equipment.
Service channels (Service Channels)
Service channels setting must be the same on local and on remote equipment: different settings of not
used service channels, between local and remote equipments, cut the operation of those service channels
properly set also.
In the following chapters, all the configuration steps are explained using LCT that differs from WEB LCT in
graphical layout only.
29.1.2 Antenna alignment and received field measurement
Purpose of antenna alignment is to maximize the RF received signal level.
Proceed as follows:
• connect a multimeter to BNC connector on the ODU for AGC measurement
• adjust antenna pointing as soon as the maximum AGC voltage value is achieved.
The relationship between AGC voltage and received field is shown by Fig.165.
The received field level has a tolerance of ±4 dB in the full temperature range.
29.1.3 Network element configuration
A factory default address is assigned to each network element that must normally be reconfigurated on
site following the network administrator rules.
To the purpose it is required to connect the PC, where the SCT/LCT program has been installed, to the
network interfaces.
This has to be done via serial cable or Ethernet cable.
Warning: the checks that follow require a good knowledge of the program use.
The description of each menu and relevant windows are given by the program itself as help on line.
Run the program and perform the connection to equipment by choosing from menu “Option” the connec-
tion made via serial cable.
Perform the login to the equipment by entering:
• Equipment IP address 3
• User ID (default: SYSTEM)

• Password: (default: siaemicr)
Proceed to program what above mentioned following this path:
3 If the connection is made via serial cable, the IP address is automatically achieved.
246
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
• IP Address: select menu “Equipment” from the menu bar and then Communication Setup–>Port
Configuration. Enter the required port addresses in the available communication ports. Press ? for
details.
• Routing Table and Default Gateway: select menu “Equipment” from the menu bar and then Com-
munication Setup–>Routing table: enter the routes or default gateway if necessary. Press ? for de-
tails.
Warning: the routing policy depends on the routing type: manual IP/OSPF/IS–IS. The relevant
routing rules must be normally given by network administrator.
• Remote Element Table: select menu “Tools” from menu bar and then Subnetwork Configuration
Wizard. Station name and remote element table must be assigned following description of the con-
textual help on–line (?).
• Agent IP Address: select menu “Equipment” and then “Properties”. Assign the address in accord-
ance to the address of the remote element you want to reach.
29.1.4 Radio checks
It is advisable to perform the following measurements to check the correct operation of the radio hop:
• transmitted power
• received power
• RF frequency
• BER measurement
All these checks make use of the SCT/LCT program.
• Transmitted power, received RF level, RF frequency

- run SCT/LCT program and then perform the connection to the equipment you want to check.
- make double click on the select equipment until main RADIO PDH–AL window is shown.
- on top of the window Tx/Rx power and frequency values are displayed. In case of Tx power and
frequency setup proceed to Branch 1/2 and Power/Frequencies submenus.
• BER measurement
- Run SCT/LCT program and then perform the connection to the equipment you want to check.
- Make double click on the selected equipment until main RADIO PDH–AL window is shown.
- On the left side select BER1/2 measure.

In alternative it is possible to use the PRBS function if one or 2 Mbit/s line is free.
- Perform the BER measurement and check that values comply with the requirements.

30 LINE–UP OF LIM ETHERNET/2 MBIT/S
30.1 GENERAL
This paragraph deals with line–up of LIM Ethernet module with details of SCT/LCT program related only to
Ethernet application.
Assuming that the radio link is already in service, with correct frequency, output power and correct antenna
alignment, the line up procedure for two different kinds of connection set up of a radio link AL, equipped
with LIM Ethernet/2 Mbit/s module, is hereafter described:
1 Local Lan–1 port to remote Lan–1 port connection Lam per port, see Fig.166
2 Local Lan–1 port to remote Lan–1 port connection with only VLANs
3 3 to 1 port connections, see Fig.179.
Settings here below are intended to be done both into local and remote radio equipment.
The software to be used depends on the equipment you have to configure.
• LCT for AL, ALC, AL Plus

• WEB LCT for ALC Plus.
In the following chapters all configuration steps are shown using LCT. LCT and WEB LCT only differs in
graphical interface.

The line–up of AL with LIM Ethernet is made with the help of SCT/LCT program.
Please refer to Fig.167. First selection is Ethernet throughput and modulation scheme, in this example we
select 16 Mbit/s and modulation 16QAM (max throughput and modulation scheme depend on terms of li-
cence provided by Siae Microelettronica).
Select configuration 1+0 or 1+1 according system requirements. Inside LCT, select Tributary window (see
Fig.168). If 2 Mbit/s tributaries are needed, inside the Tributary window it is possible to activate a 2 Mbit/
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003

s input/output on the front panel. When the activation of required 2 Mbit/s tributaries is completed, all the
others 2 Mbit/s streams are automatically used for the Ethernet traffic. For instance with a 8x2 Mbit/s ca-
pacity if we use two 2 Mbit/s the capacity assigned to Ethernet circuits is automatically set to 6x2 = 12
Mbit/s full duplex.

Fig.168 - Tributary enable
See Fig.169 for General settings for the switch. All the used ports must be Enabled, so enable Lan–1 and
Internal Port, see Fig.170.
The other ports should be disabled. The correct cable crossover arrangement must be selected too (see
Fig.170). Enable LLF if needed only at the end of link line up.
For Untagged traffic, connections are done with Lan per port selections. Referring to Fig.171 incoming traf-
fic at Lan–1 exits at Internal Port and into Fig.173 incoming traffic at Internal Port exits at lan–1 port. This
connection are done for all Untagged traffic and all Tagged packets with Vlan Id not described into Vlan
Configuration Table.
If Vlan Configuration Table is blank all Tagged traffic follows the rules of Lan per port.
Possible selections of Ingress Filtering Check:

1 “Disable 802.1q”: no check of Virtual Lan tag is made and all packets follow Lan per port settings
2 “Fallback”: if Tagged packets have their Vlan Id into Vlan Configuration Table they follow the con-
nection described into the table, otherwise they follow the Lan per port settings as Untagged pack-
ets
3 “Secure”: no Untagged packet transits; only Tagged packets with Vlan Id listed into the table can
transit. For all pass configuration “Disable 802.1” should be selected. With Egress Mode as Unmodi-
fied the outgoing packets at Lan–1 port exit Untagged or Tagged exactly as they were Untagged or
Tagged at the incoming port.

Settings are done to transfer only Tagged traffic within some Vlans.
We want that Vlan 701, 702, 710 and 1, 2, 3 can pass into the radio link and all the other Tagged or Un-
tagged packets should be blocked.

The line up of AL with LIM Ethernet is made with the help of LCT/SCT program. Please refer to Fig.166.
First selection is Ethernet throughput and modulation scheme, in this example we select 16 Mbit/s and
modulation 16QAM (max throughput and modulation scheme depends on terms of licence provided by Siae
Microelettronica). Select configuration 1+0 or 1+1 according system requirements.
Inside LCT, select tributary window (see Fig.167). If 2 Mbit/s tributaries are needed, inside the tributary
window it is possible to activate a 2 Mbit/s input/output on the front panel. When the activation of required
2 Mbit/s tributaries is completed, all the others 2 Mbit/s streams are automatically used for the Ethernet
traffic. for instance with a 16 Mbit/s capacity if we use two 2 Mbit/s the capacity assigned to ethernet cir-
cuits is automatically set to 16–2x2 = 12 Mbit/s full duplex.
See Fig.168 for general settings for the switch. All the used ports must be enabled, so enable Lan–1 and
Internal Port, see Fig.169. The other port should be disabled. The correct Cable crossover arrangement
must be selected too. Enable LLF if needed only at the end of link line up.
Vlan settings for Lan–1 and Internal Port should be like in Fig.175 with Ingress Filtering Check as “Secure”
and Engress Mode as “Tagged”. With this setting only Tagged packets with Vlan ID listed into the Vlan Con-
figuration Table can transit. All Untagged packets are blocked at the incoming port and outgoing Tagged
packets don’t change.
A packet with Vlan ID XX can enter into the switch only if Incoming Port (Ingress port) is a member of the
Vlan XX, same packet will exit only from ports (Engress Port) which are members of Vlan XX. Vlan mem-
bership is described into Vlan Configuration Table. A port can be member of no one, one or more Vlans.
See Fig.176 for Vlan Configuration Table settings for our example.

Fig.176 - Vlan Configuration Table with some Vlans
Tagged incoming packet can be treated with FIFO policy or on the basis of their 802.1p priority tag and
ToS/DSCP value for IP packets. There are 4 queue at each output port. The decision about to which output
queue to send a packet is defined into Ethernet switch window selections for 802.1p tag. Into Ethernet
switch window it is possible to select ToS/DSCP button to open window ToS/DSCP, in this window each
incoming ToS/DSCP value is associated with an output queue so it is possible to change the priority of the
incoming packet.
When no info on priority is available, the packet is sent to Default Priority Queue using FIFO policy.
Into Lan–1 window select Priority (802.1q), into priority box there are some selections: with “Disable”
switch doesn’t look at priority tag; with “802.1p” switch looks at Tag 802.1p only; with “IpToS” for IP pack-
ets only switch looks to ToS/DSCP identifier (into IP frame) only; with “802.1p – IpToS” switch looks first
to 802.1p tag and secondly to ToS/DSCP, see Fig.178; with “IpToS–802.1p” switch looks first to ToS/DSCP
and secondly to Tag 802.1p.
Note: with IpToS switch looks to IP packet and ToS/DSCP doesn’t matter if the packets are tagged with
802.1p or not.
In this example incoming tagged are tagged and it is necessary to transfer the packets with no change so
they must exit from output ports tagged, see Fig.176 and Fig.177.

In this example 3 local port must communicate with corresponding remote ports. All the ports share the
same radio channel but traffic originated and directed to Lan1 should be kept separated from traffic from
Lan2 and Lan3 and viceversa.
Lan–1 to Lan–1 connection should transfer tagged packets with Vlan 1, 701, 760 and untagged packets.
Unspecified tagged packets must be stopped. Lan–2 and Lan–3 have the same requirements. For all con-
nections IP packets with high priority TOS should transferred at minimum delay.

30.5 3 TO 1 PORT CONNECTIONS, SETTINGS FOR UNTAGGED TRAF-
FIC
The line–up of AL with LIM Ethernet is made with the help of LCT/SCT. Please refer to Fig.166.
First selection is Ethernet throughput and modulation scheme, in this example we select 16 Mbit/s and
modulation 16QAM (max throughput and modulation scheme depend on terms of licence provided by Siae
Microelettronica). Select configuration 1+0 or 1+1 according system requirements.
Inside LCT, select Tributary window (see Fig.167).
If 2 Mbit/s tributaries are needed, inside the tributary window it is possible to activate a 2 Mbit/s input/
output on the front panel. When the activation of required 2 Mbit/s tributaries is completed, all the others
2 Mbit/s streams are automatically used for the Ethernet traffic. For instance with a 8x2 Mbit/s capacity if
we use two 2 Mbit/s the capacity assigned to Ethernet circuits is automatically set to 6x2 = 12 Mbit/s full
duplex.
Vlan Configuration Table will be defined in order to group traffic from Lan–1, Lan–2, Lan–3 to Port1. All the
used ports must be Enabled.
Untagged traffic transits only if the selection for Ingress Filtering Check is disabled at each input port and
a separated Vlan for Untagged traffic is set up for each port. See Fig.168, Fig.169, Fig.178, Fig.179,
Fig.180.
Each port of the switch must be associated with a different Default VLAN ID in order to maintain the traffic
coming from different separated LANs, Lan–1 with default VID 3301, Lan–2 with default VID 3302, Lan–3
with default VID 3303, for Lan–1 see Fig.180, Fig.181 and Fig.183.
The correct Cable Crossover arrangement must be selected too.

Fig.181 - Output port properties for VLAN 3301
Vlan 3301, 3302, 3303 are allowed to exit at Port1

with tags (Tagged). Different default Tag’s allow to
keep separate the traffic from Lan1, Lan2 and
Lan3 exiting at Port 1. At the remote end the traffic
is split and forwarded from Port1 to Lan1, Lan 2
and Lan3 without Tag to preserve the original
format.
Default VID assigned by

user to each port
Fig.182 - Typology 3 to 1, Virtual Lan Configuration

With the above settings inside the VLAN configuration Table only Untagged traffic is forwarded accross the
bridge.
The same settings should be done inside the remote equipment. The above example shows the Virtual Lan
Configuration Table in case of a link carrying the traffic of 3 independent LAN’s connected to Lan–1, Lan–
2, Lan–3, which is split at the remote end among the outgoing Lan–1, Lan–2, Lan–3 ports, while using a
common radio link.
To prioritize some IP packets with high ToS/DSCP value it is possible to open PToS/DSCP window from Eth-
ernet switch window and select the values of ToS for which the packet is sent to high priority Queue, see
Fig.183.

30.6 3 TO 1 PORT CONNECTIONS, SETTINGS FOR TAGGED AND UN-

TAGGED TRAFFIC
If we want VLAN with Tag 701, 702 and 703 to transit between Lan–1 and Port–1 it is necessary to define
Port 1 and Lan 1 as members of VLAN1, 701, 760 (see Fig.184 for VLAN 701 and do the same for VLAN1,
760).
The VLAN Configuration Table will look like Fig.185.
For Lan–2 and Lan–3 we cannot use the same Vlan if we want to maintain traffic from Lan 1, 2, 3 separated.
We must change the number of incoming Vlan for instance of 1, 701, 760 use 2001, 2701, 2760 for Lan–
2 and 3001, 3701, 3760 for Lan–3. Connected equipment to Lan–2 port should be reprogrammed to use
Vlan 2001, 2701, 2760.
Connected equipment to Lan–3 port should be reprogrammed to use Vlan 3001, 3701, 3760.
To prioritize Ip packets with high ToS/DSCP value it is possible to open PToS/DSCP window from Ethernet
switch window and select the values of ToS for which the packet is sent to high priority Queue 3, see
Fig.181. The same should be done inside the remote equipment.

30.7 3 TO 1 CONNECTIONS: EXAMPLES OF PRIORITY MANAGEMENT
Example 1: To assign to Lan–1 and Lan–3 low priority and to Lan–2 high priority, while wanting Tagged
and Untagged to be treated in a fair manner on each queue do as follow: select Priority Disable for Lan–1,
Lan–2 and Lan–3; select Default Priority Queue equal to Queue 0 for lan–1 and Lan–3 (see Fig.172). Select
Default Priority Queue equal to Queue 3 for Lan–2 (as in Fig.186).
Outgoing Untagged packets will take priority tag defined into input port, in this case 0. Tagged frames keep
their tag.
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003

261
Example 2: Wanting tagged frames to be treated according their actual priority and untagged packets with
low priority, all inputs should be configured as in Fig.187.
Layer 2 Priority assignment is not modified if inside the second folder of the Lan–X (1, 2, 3) configuration
window Untagged Frame Egress Mode = Unmodified is selected as in Fig.188.
Untagged packet arriving to Lan-2 are sent to output port Queues setting of this
folder. In this example all incoming packets at LAN-2 are inserted into output
Queue 3 of output ports.
Input priority: when Disable is not selected, Tagged frame are sent to queue
0,1,2,3 to port destination priority value; when Disabled is selected for this port
switch uses the Default Priority Queue for Tagged and Untagged frames, and
without really changing Tag into Incoming Tagged frames.

32 LINE-UP OF THE LINK WITH NODAL IDU
32.1 OVERVIEW
The following paragraph deals with the activation of the NODAL IDU unit with details of the SCT/LCT pro-
gram relevant to the functionalities offered by the cross-connection matrix in relation to the achievable
connections.
Supposing that the radio links are already commissioned, the following items are described:
• Tributaries on line side and tributaries on radio side
• Tributaries on line side and other tributaries on line side (protected and unprotected buses included)
• Tributaries on radio side and other tributaries on radio side
32.2 EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATION
The operations to enable the functionalities offered by the internal cross-connection matrix are the follow-
ing:
1 run the software LCT, open Equipment, Configurator as in Fig.197
2 configure the IDU as 2U, Drop Insert, Matrix (with relevant tributaries)
3 configure the radio links: Radio A (1A and 2A, with 2x(1+0)) and Radio B (1B and 2B, with 2x(1+0))
4 configure the LIM: Processor
5 define the IDU you are configuring: No Nodal (single nodal IDU), Node A, Node B, Node C
6 configure the node type: 2 Elems, 3 Elems

Fig.197 - Configurator
32.3 TRIBUTARY CONFIGURATION
The operations to enable the tributaries involved in the cross-connections with the matrix are:
• run the software LCT, open BaseBand, Tributaries and select the type of used tributary
• enable the E1 and/or STM-1 tributaries (transport of 63 E1 each) involved by the cross-connection.
To route an E1 stream to remote equipment, a Tributary - Radio cross-connection must be created,
the enabling of the stream itself is not sufficient.
• in case of STM-1 streams, configure the parameters VC4 and VC12 and the synchronization param-
eters (LCT, Synchronisation)
32.4 Configuration of the Cross-connection matrix
The operations to configure a cross-connection are:
• run the software LCT, open Cross Connection, Matrix and press Configuration
• select the type of cross-connection:

- Tributary - Radio : Cross-connection between the tributaries available on the front side of the
Matrix module (E1, STM-1, NBUS or NBUS1 and 2) and the tributaries available on the radio
Link, 1A, 2A, 1B or 2B (it depends on the capacity set on the radio Link)
272
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
- Tributary - Tributary : Cross-connection between the tributaries available on the front side of
the Matrix module (E1, STM-1, NBUS or NBUS1 and 2)
32.4.1 Tributary - Radio Cross-connection
The operations to create and configure this cross-connection are:
• select the type of tributary to use on the front side of the Matrix module: the relevant E1 streams
will be displayed in the window together with the number of E1 streams relevant to the radio Link
• select which radio Link you wish to use in the cross-connection (up to four available)
• move the symbol of the E1 stream (the number corresponds to the physical position in the connec-
tor of the Matrix module) by dragging and dropping from a type of tributary to the position to use
in the radio frame, see Fig.198.
• the first create cross-connection is the main (colour blue); a second one regarding the same E1 trib-
utary can be created to the radio Link B with the same modality. The second cross-connection will
be the reserve (colour pink) of the first one. The parameters, and the possible alarms, ruling the
switch between the two radio directions can be configured in the window which can be opened by
a double click on the box relevant to the E1 tributary on matrix side, see Fig.199
• the tributaries in the radio frame (Link direction A or others) can be involved in a tributary loop
towards the corresponding remote radio by means of a double click on the relevant box that points
out the position in the frame, see Fig.200
• the tributaries on radio side can transit directly from a radio link to the other without need to pass
from the tributaries on matrix side: by means of drag'n'drop, a box relevant to an E1 on radio side
is moved from a Link to the other Link. The two involved Links must be selected in the fields 1st
Radio and 2nd Radio. A pass-through (transit) cross-connection is so executed: see Fig.201
• to delete a cross-connection, move it to the trash
• to activate the configuration, press Apply and Confirm.

32.4.2 Tributary - Tributary Cross-connection
The operations to create and configure this cross-connection are:
1 select the two types of tributary (1st Tributary and 2nd Tributary) on the front side of the Matrix
module to use as ends: the relevant E1 streams will be displayed in the top and bottom part of the
window
2 move the symbol of the E1 stream (the number corresponds to the physical position in the connec-
tor on the Matrix module) by means of the drag'n'drop from a tributary type to another, see Fig.202.
3 to delete a cross-connection, move to the trash
4 to activate the configuration, press Apply and Confirm.
This type of cross-connection includes even those relevant to the transport of E1 streams from a nodal IDU
to another one belonging to the same node.
Remember that, in case of protected NBUS connections, there is not distinction between NBUS1 and 2,
while the single generic NBUS connection will be displayed.
The configuration of the transport of E1 streams from a nodal IDU to another one belonging to the same
node must be executed on both the involved nodal IDUs.

The AL equipment consists of the following replaceable parts:
• LIM
• RIM
• CONTROLLER
• ODU.
Purpose of the troubleshooting is to pinpoint the faulty part and replace it with spare.
Warning: the replacement of the faulty CONTROLLER module with spare causes the spare CONTROLLER
to be re–programmed. To the purpose refer to chapter 26 INSTALLATION ONTO THE POLE OF THE ODU

THE 4 GHz ODU WITH SEPARATED ANTENNA (KIT V32323) for the relevant procedure.
35.2 TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
Troubleshooting starts as soon as one of the following alarm condition: IDU/ODU/REM is switched ON on
the IDU panel from (see Fig.215) or alarm messages are displayed by managers SCT/LCT.
Two methods are used to troubleshoot the cause of fault:
• loop facilities
• alarm message processing using the manager SCT/LCT
35.2.1 Loop facilities
The equipment is provided with different loops with the aid to locate the faulty equipment and then the
faulty module the equipment consists of.
Warning: the majority of loops causes the traffic to be lost.
The available loops are the following:
• local tributary loops: usually used to test the cables interfacing the equipment upstreams
• remote tributary loops: usually used to test the two direction link performance making use of an
unused 2 Mbit/s signal.
• baseband loop: it permits to test the LIM circuits
• IDU loop: it permits to test the complete IDU
• RF loop: it permits to test the complete radio terminal

35.2.2 Alarm messages processing
When an alarm condition occurs, the equipment generates a number of alarm messages that appear on
the SCT windows ie: log history area and equipment view current alarm.
Investigation on the alarm message meaning permits to troubleshoot the faulty module.
Alarm message organisation
The alarms (traps) are organized as alarm grouping relevant to a specific functions performed by the equip-
ment.
The alarm grouping is available only in the view current alarm submenu.
What follows is the list of the alarm grouping:
• COMMON – alarms which are not related to a specific part of the equipment but relevant to the link
as EOC radio link alarm or link telemetry fail. If these alarms are ON the link is lost. Investigation
must be made on a possible bad propagation or equipment failure. See the condition of the others
alarm grouping.
• LIM – This grouping may generate alarms for the following causes:
- external fault: tributary loss signal
- LIM failure: i.e. multiplexer/demultiplexer failure or modulator/demodulator failure.

Warning: The modulator/demodulator circuitry is spread into the LIM and RIM modules. Substi-
tution method is the only way to pingpoint the faulty module
- alarm that can be propagated by RIM or ODU modules as baseband Rx alarm.

The Baseband loop permits to discover if the cause of this alarm activation is external or internal
to the LIM. If yes the module must be replaced.
• RIM – This grouping may generate alarms for the following causes:
- external fault: demodulator fail alarm and local ODU alarm are generated when the ODU be-
comes faulty.
- RIM failure – power supply alarm along with cable short/open alarms or modulator/demodulator
alarms are activated.
Warning: the modulator/demodulator circuitry is spread into the LIM and RIM modules. Substi-
tution methods is the only way to pinpoint the faulty module.
• RT – This grouping may generate alarms for the following causes:

- external fault: Rx power low alarm is generated given by a bad propagation or by a faulty remote
terminal.
- ODU failure: PSU fail alarm or RF VCO alarm or RT IF alarm is activated. If this happens, replace
the ODU.
• UNIT – This grouping generates alarms when one of the units, the equipment consists of, is faulty
or does not respond to the controller polling. Replace the faulty unit.
• CONTROLLER – There is not an alarm message relevant to a controller module failure. An alarm
condition causes Led IDU to steady lights up.
Warning: The replacement of controller module requires the spare to be realigned (see chapter 26
INSTALLATION ONTO THE POLE OF THE ODU WITH INTEGRATED ANTENNA (KIT V32307, V32308,
V32309) or 28 INSTALLATION ONTO THE POLE OF THE 4 GHz ODU WITH SEPARATED ANTENNA
(KIT V32323)).

43 COMPOSITION OF OUTDOOR UNIT
43.1 GENERAL
The ODU consists of a mechanical structure that houses all the transceiver circuitry. In 1+1 version the
connection to the antenna is performed through a passive hybrid.
Both transceiver and hybrid are offered in different versions depending on the operating bands, the anten-
na configuration etc...
A label (see Fig.228) attached on the ODU structure shows the most significant parameters as go/return
frequency value, subband, operating band and part number.
From ODU name (e.g. AL18 or AS18) you can see the version of used ODU.
For example the P/N GA0001/001, shown by the label, identifies the following:
- AL18 18 GHz operating band
- G/R 1010 MHz go/return frequency value
- SB 1L operating subband low
- S/N serial number
- DATA CODE month and year
A further label is available attached on the hybrid body as per example of Fig.229.
It shows the position of each transceiver and the type of coupler, balanced or unbalanced.
Warning: In case of unbalanced type the lowest loss is always referred to branch 1.
In Tab.66 various ODU versions and hybrid part number are listed.
Part number, hardware layout and equipment composition are subject to change without notice.
