Step Description Figure

1 Lay the patient on his back with his arms parallel to the body. If thepatient is laying on an inclined plane, make sure that his stomachis slightly lower than his chest. Open the patients mouth andcheck that there is no foreign matter in mouth (dentures, chewinggum, etc.).

2 Kneel beside the patient level with his head. Put an hand underthe patient’s head and one under his neck.

Lift the patient’s head and let it recline backwards as far aspossible.

3 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 to-gether. While performing these operations take a good supply ofoxygen by taking deep breaths with your mouth open.

4 With your thumb between the patient’s chin and mouth keep hislips together and blow into his nasal cavities

5 While performing these operations observe if the patient’s chestrises. If not it is possible that his nose is blocked: in that case openthe patient’s mouth as much as possible by pressing on his chinwith your hand, place your lips around his mouth and blow into hisoral cavity. Observe if the patient’s chest heaves. This secondmethod can be used instead of the first even when the patient’snose is not obstructed, provided his nose is kept closed by pres-sing the nostrils together using the hand you were holding hishead with. The patient’s head must be kept sloping backwards asmuch as possible.

6 Start with ten rapid expirations, hence continue at a rate of twelve/fifteen expirations per minute. Go on like this until the patient hasregained conscious–ness, or until a doctor has ascertained hisdeath.

5. SYSTEM PRESENTATION

5.1 RADIO SYSTEM OVERVIEW

5.1.1 General

AL is SIAE’s PDH radio series for low–to–medium transmission capacities in frequency bandsfrom 7 to 38 GHz.

Different hardware versions offer a range of tributaries traffic from 2xE1 to 16xE1, with or withoutEthernet traffic, on 4 and 16QAM modulation, with capacity up to 64 Mbit/s.

Reduced cost, high reliability, compact size, light weight and full programmability are the keyfeatures of this radio series.

5.2 COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS

The equipment complies with the following international standards:

• EN 301 489–4 for EMC

• ITU–R recommendations for all frequency bands

• EN 300 132–2 characteristics for power supply

• EN 300 019 environmental characteristics (Operation class 3.2 for IDU and class 4.1for ODU; storage: class 1.2; transport: class 2.3)

• EN 60950 for safety


5



5.3 APPLICATIONS

AL main applications are:

• radio communication between GSM cells

• radio links for voice and data transmission

• spur routes for high capacity radio system

• emergency links

• Ethernet traffic in point to point communication

5.4 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

The AL radio equipment consist of two separate units:

• the indoor unit (IDU) that houses tributary interfaces, Ethernet ports modem andcontroller units

• the outdoor unit (ODU) that converts IF signals into RF signals and vice versa.

The two units are interconnected via coaxial cable. Fig. 5.1 and Fig. 5.2 show a typical IDU/ODUlayout whereas Fig. 5.3 and Fig. 5.4 show the radio block diagram in 1+0 and 1+1 configurationrespectively.

5.4.1 IDU

The IDU is available in the following hardware versions:

• 1 rack unit compact IDU, 1+0 configuration, 2/4/8xE1

• 1 rack unit compact IDU, 1+0 configuration, 2/4/8/16xE1

• 1 rack unit compact IDU, 1+1 configuration, 2/4/8xE1

• 1 rack unit compact IDU, 1+1 configuration, 2/4/8/16xE1

Ethernet module V12252 can be housed inside IDU, as option, for Ethernet traffic. CompactIDUs consist of a single circuit board plugged into a wired shelf.

Line interfaces house tributary connections and, through a multiplexing/demultiplexing and bitinsertion/extraction process, supply/receive the aggregate signal to/from themodulator/demodulator.

Line interfaces carry out the digital processing for the QAM modulator and, in 1+1 configuration,duplicate the main signals on the transmission side and perform the changeover on the receive


CM.89012.I


side. Interfaces towards the ODU house the cable interface for bidirectional communicationbetween ODU and IDU, and implement the IF section of the mo–demodulator.

IDU power supply units process battery voltage and supply power to IDU and ODU circuits. Thecontroller section of the radio houses service channels interfaces, stores IDU firmware,interfaces SIAE management systems though dedicated supervision ports, and routes externaland internal alarms to relay contacts.

5.4.2 ODU

The ODU houses the interface towards the IDU on one side, and towards the antenna flangeon the other. The ODU shifts the incoming QAM–modulated carrier to RF frequency through adouble conversion. The opposite occurs at the receive side, when the IF–converted carrier issent to the IDU demodulator.

Antenna coupling in 1+1 systems is done through a balanced or unbalanced hybrid.

5.5 MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

AL radio can be controlled locally and remotely via SIAE supervision software:

• SCT/LCT: a Windows–based management system for small networks (up to 100 NE)

• NMS5–LX: a Linux–based management system for small–to–medium networks (upto 750 NE)

• NMS5–UX: a Unix–based management system for large networks (up to 2500 NE)

These systems provide a friendly graphic interface complying with current standard use ofkeyboards, mouse and windows.

5.5.1 Management ports

AL radio terminals connect to the supervision network via the following communication ports:

• Ethernet 10BaseT Port

• USB port

5.5.2 Protocols

SNMP along with IP or OSI protocol stacks are used to manage AL operation.

8. DESCRIPTION OF THE INDOORUNIT – PDH INTERFACES

8.1 1+0/1+1 IDU VERSIONS

The following functional description covers the versions the IDU consists of as shown in chapter“Equipment technical specifications”.

The IDU is made up of a single motherboard that houses all the circuitry realizing the followingfunctionalities:

• Line interface

• Radio interface

• Equipment controller

• IDU loops

8.1.1 Line interface

The line interface performs the following operations:

• multiplexing process of the input tributaries

• generation of the aggregate frame by aggregating multiplexed tributaries and servicechannel.

Bit extraction and demultiplexing process happens at the receive side.

Tx side

Refer to Fig. 8.1. The 2 Mbit/s input signal is code converted from HDB3 to NRZ format beforebeing multiplexed. The multiplexing scheme depends on the number and the bit rate of the inputtributaries. Attached figures show different multiplexing scheme as follows:

• Fig. 8.2 – 2x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The mux performs stuffing operation on each singletributary and generates a proprietary frame embedding the two tributaries to be sentto the Bit Insertion. Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.


8



• Fig. 8.3 – 4x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The mux aggregates the four 2 Mbit/s tributariesgenerating a 8448 kbit/s frame as per Recc. G.742. The multiplexed signal is then sentto the Bit Insertion. Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.

• Fig. 8.4 – 8x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The eight 2 Mbit/s tributaries are grouped in two 4x2Mbit/s groups each of one generating a G742 frame structure at 8448 kbit/s to be sentto the next Bit Insertion. Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.

• Fig. 8.5 – 16x2 Mbit/s multiplexing. The sixteen 2 Mbit/s tributaries are grouped in four4x2 Mbit/s groups each of one generating a G.742 frame structure at 8448 kbit/s. Afurther multiplexing of the achieved four 8448 kbit/s streams will generate a framestructure at 34368 kbit/s as per Recc. G.751. This latter is to be sent to the Bit Insertion.Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.

The multiplexed tributaries are then sent to the B.I. for aggregate frame generation occurringat the following bit rate depending on various versions implemented:

Tab. 8.1

Version Aggregate frame

2x2 Mbit/s 4860 kbit/s




The aggregate frame contains:

• the main signal from the MUX(s)

• the framed service signal from the service interface

• the EOC signals for supervision message propagation towards the remote terminal

• the frame alignment word

• the bits dedicated to the FEC.

All the synch. signals to perform multiplexing (demultiplexing) and BI (BE) process are achievedfrom a x0 at 40 MHz. The aggregate frame thus generates is sent to the QAM modulator.

Rx side

Refer to Fig. 8.6.

At Rx side the Bit extraction separates the main multiplexed signal from the service signal andthen after a proper demultiplexing process (opposite to that previously described at the Tx side)sends them to the output interfaces.


CM.89012.I


8.1.2 Radio interface

This functionality provides the following:

• QAM modemodulation

• power supply to IDU and ODU

• telemetry IDU/ODU

• cable interface

QAM modemodulation – Modulation side

See Fig. 8.7.

The aggregate signal from the BI undergoes the following process in digital form:

• serial to parallel conversion

• differential encoding

• generation of the shaped modulating signals feeding the IF part of the QAM modulator.

This latter comprises:

• recovery low pass filter to eliminate signal periodicity

• 330 MHz local oscillator

• a 90° phase shifter to supply two mixers with two in quadrature carriers

The thus obtained 330 MHz QAM modulated carrier is then sent to the cable interface forconnection with ODU.

QAM modemodulation – Demodulation side

See Fig. 8.7.

The 140 MHz, 4 or 16QAM modulated carrier from the ODU is reaching the IDU through thecable interface.

The connection to the demodulator input is made via a cable equalizer for cable losscompensation.

The IF section of the QAM demodulator extracts the I and Q analogue signals then digitalconverted for the following processing:

• clock recovery

• baseband equalisation and filtering

• bit polarity decision



• differential decoding

• parallel to serial conversion to recover the aggregate signal.

The aggregate signal is then sent to a frame alignment circuit and CRC analysis and then to theerror corrector to achieve the BER extimate, the PM and HBER/LBER alarms.

Power supply

Refer to Fig. 8.7. The –48 V battery voltage feeds the IDU and ODU circuitry. The servicevoltages for the IDU feeding are achieved through a DC/DC converter for +3.6 V generation anda step down circuit for –5V.

Both voltages are protected against overvoltages and overcurrents. The power to the ODU isgiven by the same battery running through the interconnection cable. A breaker protects thebattery against cable failure.

Telemetry IDU/ODU

Refer to Fig. 8.1 and Fig. 8.7. The dialogue IDU/ODU is made–up by the main controller andassociated peripherals within the ODU. Controls for ODU management and alarm reporting isperformed making use of a 388 kbit/s framed signals. The transport along the interconnetingcable is performed via two FSK modulated carriers: 17.5 MHz from IDU to ODU; 5.5 MHZ fromODU to IDU.

Cable interface

Refer to Fig. 8.7. This circuit permits to communicate to the far ODU through the interconnectingcable. It is mainly made up of a set of filters that:

• combine the 330 MHz, QAM modulated carrier/the 17.5 MHz carrier/the power supply

• separate the 140 MHz QAM modulated carrier and the 5.5 MHz carrier

8.1.3 Equipment controller

The controller functionality performs the following:

• 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 alarmsgenerated by the equipment.

The equipment software permits to control and manage all the equipment functionality. It isdistributed on two hardware levels: main controller and ODU peripheral controller. The dialoguebetween main and peripheral controllers is shown in Fig. 8.8.


CM.89012.I


Main controller

The activities executed by the main controller are the following:

• Communication management: it makes use of SNMP as management protocol and IPor IP over OSI as communication protocol stacks. See Fig. 8.9 for details. The interfaceports for the equipment management are the following:

– LAN Ethernet 10BaseT

– USB port used for SCT/LCT connection

– EOC embedded within the PDH radio frame for connection to the remote NEs

• Log–in: the main controller manages the equipment or network login/logout by settingand then controlling the user’s ID and relevant password.

• Database (MIB): validation and storing in a non–volatile memory of the equipmentconfiguration parameters.

• Equipment configuration: distribution of the parameters stored in the MIB towards theperipheral µPs for their attuation in addition to the controls from user not stored in theMIB (i.e. loops, manual forcing etc...).

• Alarm monitoring: acquisition, filtering and correlation of the alarms gathered fromslaved µPs. Local logger and alarm sending to the connected managers: SCT/LCT –NMS5UX. Management of the alarm signalling on the LIM front panel.

• Performances: PM management as per Recc. G.828.

• Download: the main controller is equipped with two flash memory banks containing therunning program (active bank) and the stand–by program (inactive bank). This permitsto download a new software 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 configuration, configuration files on main controller inactive bank or directly onthe peripheral controllers.

Peripheral controllers

The peripheral controllers take place within the ODU and are slaved to main controller with thetask of activating controls and alarm reporting of dedicated functionality.

8.2 IDU LOOPS

To control the IDU correct operation a set of local and remote loops are made available. Thecommands are forwarded by the LCT/SCT program. Loop block diagram is shown by Fig. 8.10.



8.2.1 Tributary loop

Tributary local loop

Each input tributary is routed directly to the trib. output upon receiving the command from theLCT. 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 isstill on.

8.2.2 Baseband unit loop

This kind of loop is only local and is activated at BI/BE level. Tx line is still on.

8.2.3 IDU loop

This kind of loop permits to check the full IDU digital operation.

9. DESCRIPTION OF THE INDOORUNIT – ETHERNET INTERFACES

The indoor unit can be provided with Ethernet module option (V12252). In this way theequipment has both 2 Mbit/s and Ethernet ports, and the bit rate assigned to Ethernet traffic isthe nominal capacity of the radio minus enabled tributaries.

Description that follows covers Ethernet signal treatment, 2 Mbit/s signal treatment has beendescribed in previous chapter.

9.1 TREATMENT OF ETHERNET SIGNALS

In the place of V11 or (V28 + RS232) board it is possible to insert Ethernet Module.

In this way the IDU is equipped with the following interfaces:

• 3x electrical interface Ethernet 10/100 BaseT IEEE 802.3

• 16x2 Mbit/s (E1) interface

• total capacity from 2 to 64 Mbit/s

Most important functions are:

• multiplexing of 2 Mbit/s tributaries

• concatenation of 2 Mbit/s streams

• LAPS Link Access Procedure SDH (ITU X.86) for concatenated 2 Mbit/s

• bridge/switch between a local LAN port and the radio LAN port

• MAC switching

• MAC address learning

• MAC address ageing

• Ethernet interface with autonegotiation 10/100, full duplex, half duplex

– Ethernet interface with Flow Control, Back Pressure, MDI/MDX crossover

• network segmentation into bridge


9



• virtual LAN as per IEEE 802.1q (anyone from 0 to 4095 VID for a maximum of 64memory location) (see Fig. 9.2)

• layer 2 QoS, priority management as per IEEE 802.1p (see Fig. 9.2)

• layer 3 ToS/DSCP (see Fig. 9.5)

• packet forwarding

A block diagram of IDU with Ethernet module can be found into Fig. 9.1.

In the IDU with Ethernet module there is a “switch” with 3 external ports and 1internal ports.External ports are electrical Ethernet 10/100BaseT interfaces placed on the front panel. Internalport is connected to radio side stream.

Ethernet traffic coming from external ports goes to internal port radio side. The radio side portis connected to one or two streams group of concatenated 2 Mbit/s. One stream for capacity upto 16x2 Mbit/s and two streams for capacity of 12 – 16 2 Mbit/s streams, plus other 16x2 Mbit/sstreams in case of maximum capacity.

The concatenated 2 Mbit/s are assembled in a protocol called LAPS similar to HDLC.

In Tx side Ethernet traffic is packet into a protocol called LAPS similar to HDLC. The resultingstream is divided into the used number of 2 Mbit/s streams. The 2 Mbit/s streams are thenmultiplexed, together with 2 Mbit/s arriving from front panel, the resulting stream goes to themodulator, see Fig. 9.1.

In Rx the stream arriving from the demodulator is divided into the 2 Mbit/s streams, then the 2Mbit/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.

9.1.1 2 Mbit/s tributaries

Tributary channels at 2 Mbit/s (E1), connected to relevant connectors into front panel, aremultiplexed as into standard IDU, see previous chapter.

From 0 to 16 tributaries can be selected to be used via SCT/LCT program, all the other available2 Mbit/s are sent to switch internal port.

9.1.2 Electrical Ethernet interface

The electrical Ethernet/Fast Ethernet interfaces are type IEEE 802.3 10/100BaseT with RJ45connector. For input or output signals at RJ45 please refer to User connection chapter. Cablecan 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:


CM.89012.I


• 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 sustainresiduals of possible electrostatic discharges (ESD). With LCT/SCT program it is possible to activate autonegotiation (speed/duplex/flowcontrol) on 10/100BaseT interface.

9.1.3 Front panel LEDs of Ethernet ports

There are 2 Leds for any Ethernet interface:

• DUPLEX: color green, On = full duplex, OFF = half duplex

• LINK/ACT: color green, ON = link up without activity, OFF = link down, BLINKING = linkwith activity on Rx and Tx.

9.1.4 Bridge/switch function

A radio link equipped with Ethernet module can operate like a bridge/switch between two or moreseparated LANs with the following advantags:

• to connect two separated LANs at a distance even greater than the maximum limits of2.5 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 trafficgreater than traffic in a single LAN.

The bridge realized into Ethernet module is a transparent bridge (IEEE 802.1 part D) into thesame Vlan described by VLAN Configuration Table.

The bridge works at data link level, Layer 2 of OSI pile, and leave untouched Layer 3.

The bridge takes care to sendo traffic from a local LAN, to remote LAN.. Routing is only on thebasic of Level 2 addresses, sublevel MAC.

The operation of bridge is the following:

• when a bridge interface receives a MAC frame, the bridge on the basis of destinationaddress, decides which LAN to send it

• if destination address is on originating LAN the frame is descarded

• if destination address is a known address (towards address learning procedure) andis present into local address table the frame is sent only on destintion LAN (MACswitching)

• otherwise the frame is sent to all ports with the same VLAN ID (flooding).

A bridge is very different from a repeater, which copies slavishly everything that receives froma line on all the others. The bridge, in fact, acquires a frame, analyzes it, reconstruct it and routes



it. The bridge compensates also the different speeds of the interfaces, therefore an input canbe at 100 Mbit/s and output at 10 Mbit/s.

The mechanism is the following:

• from the moment of its activation, the bridge examines all the frames that arrive it fromdifferent LANs, and on these basis it builds its routing tables progressively.In fact, every received frame allows the bridge to know on what LAN the sending stationis located (MAC address learning).

• every frame that arrives to the bridge is rebroadcasted:

– if the bridge has the destination address into the routing table, sends the frameonly into the corresponding LAN

– otherwise the frame is sent to all the LANs except the originating (flooding)

– as soon as the bridge increases its knowledge of different machines, theretransmission becomes more and more selective (and therefore more efficient)

• the routing tables are updated every some minutes (programmable), removingaddresses not alive in the last period (so, if a machine is moved, within a few minuteit is addressed correctly) (MAC address ageing).

The whole process of bridging is restricted to the ports which are members of the same Vlan asdescribed into Vlan Configuration Table.

9.1.5 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 inparallel and are normally in receiving mode. Only one PC, at a certain time, transmits on thecable, the others are receiving, so this is half duplex mode, and only one PC uses the recivedmessage.

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 pairsare used with 10BaseT, one for Tx one for Rx. Into 10Base5 and 10BaseT standards, networkprotocols are the same the difference lays into the electrical interface. UTP cable is connectedpoint to point betwen a hub and a Ethernet interface. Network structure is a star where the serveris 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 caseit is possible to activate transmission on both pairs at the same time, on one twisted pair for onedirection, on the other pair for opposite direction. Thus we obtain full duplex transmission onUTP.

Activating full duplex transmission it is possible to obtain a theoretical increase of performanceof nearly 100%. Full duplex mode can be activated into 10/100BaseT interfaces manually or withautonegotiation 100BaseFx operates always into full duplex mode.


CM.89012.I


9.1.6 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 thealarm status of Ethernet interface blocking any transmission to it. LLF can be enabled for each3 ports at front panel. With LLF enabled the equipment connected (routers, switches so on) canbe notified that radio link is not available and can temporarerly reroute the traffic.

9.1.7 MDI/MDIX cross–over

The Ethernet electrical interface can be defined by SCT program as MDI or MDIX to cross–overbetween pairs so that external cross–over cable is not required.

9.1.8 VLAN functionality

LIM Ethernet module works with IEEE 802.1q and 802.1p tag for VLANs and QoS see Fig. 9.2.

The virtual LAN (VLAN) are logical separated subnets so that all the stations, into VLAN, seemto 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 thesame physical LAN but on different VLAN work in separated mode thus they do not sharebroadcast and multicast messages. This results in a reduction of broadcast generated traffic andabove all we get more security thanks to network separation.

Tag position and structure are shown into Fig. 9.2.

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 portsor only output ports should be defined for any used VID.

Vlan Configuration Table has 64 position for Vlan ID range from 1 to 4095.

9.1.9 Switch organized by port

The switch can be organized on port basis treating both Tagged and Untagged packets in thesame way.



For each input port it is possible to define where to route the incoming traffic; one or more of the3 other ports can be Enabled to exit the incoming traffic. It is possible, also, to route back theincoming traffic into the same port. This type of connection are monodirectional. For adibirectional connection between a generic Lan A and Lan B it is necessary to set the connectionfrom Lan A to Lan B and from Lan B to Lan A.

The IDU with Ethernet module has 3 physical ports and one internal port, radio side. The internalswitch can connect two or more ports together.

Then MAC address bridging rules will be applied to this packet. It is possible to select that apacket 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 packetswill 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, untaggedpackets take Default VID of incoming port.

• Untagged: all the packets will exit untagged.

Vlan Configuration Table defines a list of Vlan ID, For any Vlan ID some ports are members ofVlan others are not members. Ports members of a Vlan are allowed to receive and send packetswith that Vlan. Switch dinamically assignes 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 amember.

A port can be a member of a Vlan or many Vlan.

A port can be a member from 1 to 64 Vlans but tagged packets are dropped if their input portis not a member of packet’s Vlan.

After the control of packet and port Vlan membership MAC address bridging rules will be appliedto this packet.

Ingress Filtering Check

This is a process to check an incoming packet to compare its Valn ID to input port’s Vlanmembership. With Ingress Filtering Check it is possible to permit only to tagged packets to enterthe switch. If the port is not member of the Vlan n. XX all the incoming packets with Vlan ID XXwill be dropped.


CM.89012.I


There are 3 option into Ingress Filtering Check to manage incoming packets:

• Disable: all Tagged and Untagged packets can transit into the switch following settingof swicth organized by port.

• Fallback: Untagged frames follow the rules of switch organized by port, Tagged frameswith 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 therules of switch organized by port.

• Secure: Untagged frames cannot enter the switch, Tagged frames with Vlan IDdescribed into the Vlan Configuration Table follow the rules of the table, Tagged frameswith 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 mustbe made. The switch analyse the Vlan ID (if present) and decides whether and where to forwardthe frame. If the received packet is untagged, the switch sends the packet to the port specifiedinto incoming port “Lan per port” settings. If the packet is tagged the switch check the other 3destination ports to find at least one with the same Vlan ID and put the packet into output portqueue. If the Vlan ID is not listed into Vlan Configuration Table the switch sends the packet tothe 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 3 selections for outgoing packets.

• Disable output port

• Enable unchanged: tagged packets keep their tag. Untagged packets remainuntagged.

• Enable tagged: all the packets will exit tagged with Vlan ID specified into VlanConfiguration Table, tagged packets keep their tag, untagged packets take Default VIDof incoming port.

• Untagged: all the packets will exit untagged.

9.1.11 Layer 2, Priority function, QoS, 802.1p

Some services as voice overIP and videoconference have some time limits to work properly. Asolution is to increase the priority of time sensitive packets. In this case random crowding comingfrom other services affects the delay of prioritized packets a lot less.

Into LIM Ethernet module different priority of incoming packets is managed using Tag definedinto IEEE 802.1p (see Fig. 9.2).

Every switch output port holds 4 output queues: queue 4 has highest priority, queue 0 has thelowest priority (see Fig. 9.3).

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 sendthe packets to one of the 4 queues of output ports defining which is the Default PriorityQueue: Queue = 0, 1, 2, 3. For Tagged packets it is necessary to Disable Priority sothey will go in the same queue of Untagged packets.



• Priority by incoming priority. For tagged packets for each priority tag (3 bits = for 7priority levels) it is possible to define where to send the packets, into Queue from 0 to3. Priority must be enable on 802.1p mode only or IpToS mode only (see nextparagraph) or first check 802.1p mode and IpToS mode either first check IpToS modeonly (see next paragraph) or first check 802.1p mode and IpToS mode either first checkIpToS mode and then 808.1q. For untagged packets the priority is defined only byincoming port.

Outgoing packet policy at output ports can be WFQ (Wait Fair Queue) with fixed proportionaloutput policy 8 packets from Queue 3, 4 from Queue 2, 4 from Queue 1, 1 from Queue 0.

Layer 3, Priority function, QoS, IP–V4 ToS (DSCP)

Only for IP packets it is possible to use incoming Layer 3 ToS (see Fig. 9.4) to prioritize incomingpackets. The 8 bits available can be read as 7 bits of ToS or 6 bits of DSCP as shown in Fig. 9.5.

According priority defined into ToS/DSCP the packet is sent into high priority queue low priorityqueue of output ports.

With SCT/LCT program it is possible to select a different output queue for any ToS/DSCP prioritylevel at each input port.

11. DESCRIPTION OF THE OUTDOORUNIT

11.1 GENERAL

The 1+0 ODU (refer to Fig. 11.1) consists of a two shell aluminium mechanical structure, oneshell 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 thereceived field strength

• a ground bolt.

The 1+1 hot stand–by version (refer to Fig. 11.2) consist of two 1+0 ODUs mechanically securedto a structure housing the hybrid for the antenna connection.

11.2 TRANSMIT SECTION

Refer to block diagram shown in Fig. 11.3.

The 330 MHz QAM modulated carrier from the cable interface (see chapter 11.4) is forwardedto a mixer passing through a cable equalizer for cable loss compensation up to 40 dB at 330MHz. The mixer and the following bandpass filter give rise to a second IF Tx carrier thefrequency of which depends 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 latteris common to both Tx and Rx sides.


11



The IF carrier is converted to RF and then amplified making use of a MMIC circuit. Theconversion mixer is SSB type with side band selection.

The power at the MMIC output can be manually attenuated, 1 dB step, by 20 dB (f ≥ 18 GHz)or 40 dB (f < 18 GHz). Total attenuation is 40 dB.

The automatic adjustment is performed making use of an ATPC (see paragraph 11.5 for details).

The regulated output power is kept constant against amplifier stage gain variation by a feedbackincluding the AGC.

Before reaching the antenna side the RF signal at the output of MMIC passes through thefollowing 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

• a 0 or 20 dB attenuator (f ≥ 18 GHz) to made up a total attenuation of 40 dB

• 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 uponreceiving a µP control. The RF loop permits the Tx power to return back to receive side thuscontrolling the total local radio terminal performance.

11.3 RECEIVE SECTION

The RF signal from the Rx bandpass filter is sent to a low noise amplifier that improves thereceiver sensitivity.

The following down–converter translates the RF frequency to approximately 765 MHz.

The conversion 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 withinthe 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 receiveRF level.

Between two amplifiers a bandpass filter assures the required selectivity to the receiver. Thefilter is SAW type and the bandwidth depends on the transmitted capacity.


CM.89012.I


11.4 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 latterconsists of two 388 kbit/s streams one from IDU to ODU with the information to manage the ODU(RF power, RF frequency, capacity, etc...) while the other, from ODU to IDU, sends back to IDUmeasurements and alarms of the ODU. The ODU management is made by a µP.

11.5 ATPC OPERATION

The ATPC regulates the RF output power of the local transmitter depending on the value of theRF level at the remote terminal. This value has to be preset from the local terminal as thresholdhigh 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. 11.6) due to theincrease of the hop attenuation, a microP at the received side of the remote terminal sends backto the local terminal a control to increase the transmitted power. The maximum ATPC range is40 dB (f < 18 GHz) and 20 dB (f ≥ 18 GHz).

If the hop attenuation decreases and the threshold high is crossed then the control sent by themicroP causes the output power to decrease.

ATPC range can be reduced from the maximum value to 0 dB, by 1 dB step, consequently toa reduction of the output maximum power through an adjusted attenuation.



11.6 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 shownin Fig. 11.4 and Fig. 11.5.

The transmitter switchover is electromechanic type and consists of two ON/OFF switches withinthe two ODUs that assure at least 40 dB insulation on the stand–by transmitter.

Transmit alarm priority is shown in Tab. 11.1.

11.7 POWER SUPPLY

The battery voltage is dropped from the cable interface and then sent to a DC/DC converter togenerate 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 amplifiers operating atdifferent 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.

20. LINE–UP OF THE RADIO HOP

20.1 LINE–UP OF THE RADIO HOP

The line–up consists of the following steps:

• on site radio terminal installation (perform user connections and ODU installation asdescribed in the relevant chapters)

• equipment switch–on (operate the ON/OFF switch on the IDU front)

• antenna alignment for maximum received RF signal level

• network element configuration

• check measurements.

20.1.1 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. 20.1.

The received field level has a tolerance of ±4 dB in the full temperature range.

21. LINE–UP OF ETHERNET TRAFFIC(FOR IDU WITH V12252 ETHERNETMODULE ONLY)

21.1 GENERAL

This paragraph deals with line–up of V12252 Ethernet module with details of SCT/LCT programrelated only to Ethernet application.

Assuming that the radio link is already in service, with correct frequency, output power andcorrect antenna alignment, the line up procedure for different kinds of connection set up of aradio link AL, equipped with LIM Ethernet/2 Mbit/s module, is hereafter described:

1. Local Lan–1 port to remote Lan–1 port connection LAN per port, see Fig. 21.1

2. Local Lan–1 port to remote Lan–1 port connection with only VLANs

3. 3 to 1 port connections, see Fig. 21.13.

Settings here below are intended to be done both into local and remote radio equipment.

The line–up of Ethernet traffic is made with the help of SCT/LCT program.

Please refer to Fig. 21.2. First selection is Ethernet throughput and modulation scheme, in thisexample we select 16 Mbit/s and modulation 16QAM (max throughput and modulation schemedepend on terms of licence provided by Siae Microelettronica).

Select configuration 1+0 or 1+1 according system requirements. Inside LCT, select Tributarywindow. If 2 Mbit/s tributaries are needed, inside the Tributary window it is possible to activatea 2 Mbit/s input/output on the front panel. When the activation of required 2 Mbit/s tributariesis completed, all the others 2 Mbit/s streams are automatically used for the Ethernet traffic. Forinstance with a 8x2 Mbit/s capacity, if we use two 2 Mbit/s the capacity assigned to Ethernetcircuits is automatically set to 6x2 = 12 Mbit/s full duplex.

Fig. 21.2 Selection of Ethernet Throughput

See Fig. 21.3 for General settings for the switch. All the used ports must be Enabled, so enableLan–1 and Internal Port, see Fig. 21.4.

The other ports should be disabled. The correct cable crossover arrangement must be selectedtoo (see Fig. 21.4). At the end of Line–up, enable LLF if needed.


CM.89012.I


For Untagged traffic, connections are done with Lan per port selections. Referring to Fig. 21.5incoming traffic at Lan–1 exits at Internal Port and into Fig. 21.7 incoming traffic at Internal Portexits at lan–1 port. This connection are done for all Untagged traffic and all Tagged packets withVlan 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 perport settings

2. “Fallback”: if Tagged packets have their Vlan Id into Vlan Configuration Table theyfollow the connection described into the table, otherwise they follow the Lan per portsettings as Untagged packets

3. “Secure”: no Untagged packet transits; only Tagged packets with Vlan Id listed intothe table can transit. For all pass configuration, “Disable 802.1” should be selected.With Egress Mode as Unmodified the outgoing packets at Lan–1 port exit Untaggedor Tagged exactly as they were Untagged or Tagged at the incoming port.

Fig. 21.8 Vlan Configuration Table



21.3 LOCAL LAN–1 PORT TO REMOTE LAN–1 PORT (WITHVLANs)

Settings are done to transfer only Tagged traffic within Vlans.

We want that Vlan 701, 702, 710 and 1, 2, 3 can pass into the radio link and all the other Taggedor Untagged packets should be blocked.

The line up of Ethernet module is made with the help of LCT/SCT program. Please refer toFig. 21.2. First selection is Ethernet throughput and modulation scheme, in this example weselect 16 Mbit/s and modulation 16QAM (max throughput and modulation scheme depends onterms of licence provided by Siae Microelettronica). Select configuration 1+0 or 1+1 accordingsystem requirements.

Inside LCT, select tributary window. If 2 Mbit/s tributaries are needed, inside the tributary windowit is possible to activate a 2 Mbit/s input/output on the front panel. When the activation of required2 Mbit/s tributaries is completed, all the others 2 Mbit/s streams are automatically used for theEthernet traffic. for instance with a 16 Mbit/s capacity if we use two 2 Mbit/s the capacityassigned to ethernet circuits is automatically set to 16–2x2 = 12 Mbit/s full duplex.

See Fig. 21.3 for general settings for the switch. All the used ports must be enabled, so enableLan–1 and Internal Port, see Fig. 21.4. The other ports should be disabled. The correct Cablecrossover arrangement must be selected too. Enable LLF if needed, only at the end of line up.

Vlan settings for Lan–1 and Internal Port should be like in Fig. 21.9 with Ingress Filtering Checkas “Secure” and Engress Mode as “Tagged”. With this setting only Tagged packets with VlanID listed into the Vlan Configuration Table can transit. All Untagged packets are blocked at theincoming 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 amember of the Vlan XX, same packet will exit only from ports (Engress Port) which are membersof Vlan XX. Vlan membership is described into Vlan Configuration Table. A port can be memberof no one, one or more Vlans. See Fig. 21.10 for Vlan Configuration Table settings for ourexample.


CM.89012.I

Tagged incoming packet can be treated with FIFO policy or on the basis of their 802.1p prioritytag and ToS/DSCP value for IP packets. There are 4 queue at each output port. The decisionabout to which output queue to send a packet is defined into Ethernet switch window selectionsfor 802.1p tag. Into Ethernet switch window it is possible to select ToS/DSCP button to openwindow ToS/DSCP, in this window each incoming ToS/DSCP value is associated with an outputqueue 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 FIFOpolicy.

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 packets 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. 21.12; 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 aretagged with 802.1p or not.

In this example incoming tagged are tagged and it is necessary to transfer the packets with nochange so they must exit from output ports tagged, see Fig. 21.11 and Fig. 21.12.

In this example 3 local port must communicate with corresponding remote ports. All the portsshare the same radio channel but traffic originated and directed to Lan1 should be keptseparated from traffic from Lan2 and Lan3 and viceversa.

Lan–1 to Lan–1 connection should transfer tagged packets with Vlan 1, 701, 760 and untaggedpackets. Unspecified tagged packets must be stopped. Lan–2 and Lan–3 have the samerequirements. For all connections IP packets with high priority TOS should transferred atminimum delay.

21.5 3 TO 1 PORT CONNECTIONS, SETTINGS FORUNTAGGED TRAFFIC

The line–up of Ethernet traffic is made with the help of LCT/SCT. Please refer to Fig. 21.1.

First selection is Ethernet throughput and modulation scheme, in this example we select 16Mbit/s and modulation 16QAM (max throughput and modulation scheme depend on terms oflicence provided by Siae Microelettronica). Select configuration 1+0 or 1+1 according systemrequirements.

Inside LCT, select Tributary window.

If 2 Mbit/s tributaries are needed, inside the tributary window it is possible to activate a 2 Mbit/sinput/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 witha 8x2 Mbit/s capacity if we use two 2 Mbit/s the capacity assigned to Ethernet circuits isautomatically set to 6x2 = 12 Mbit/s full duplex.


CM.89012.I


Vlan Configuration Table will be defined in order to group traffic from Lan–1, Lan–2, Lan–3 toPort1. All the used ports must be Enabled.

Untagged traffic transits only if the selection for Ingress Filtering Check is disabled at each inputport and a separated Vlan for Untagged traffic is set up for each port. See Fig. 21.3, Fig. 21.4,Fig. 21.13, Fig. 21.14 and Fig. 21.15.

Each port of the switch must be associated with a different Default VLAN ID in order to maintainthe traffic coming from different separated LANs, Lan–1 with default VID 3301, Lan–2 withdefault VID 3302, Lan–3 with default VID 3303, for Lan–1 see Fig. 21.15 and Fig. 21.16.

The correct Cable Crossover arrangement must be selected too.

CM.89012.I


Fig. 21.16 Typology 3 to 1, Virtual Lan Configuration

Default VID assigned byuser to each port

Vlan 3301, 3302, 3303 are allowed to exit at Port1with tags (Tagged). Different default Tag’s allow to

keep separate the traffic from Lan1, Lan2 andLan3 exiting at Port 1. At the remote end the traffic

is split and forwarded from Port1 to Lan1, Lan 2and Lan3 without Tag to preserve the original

format.

With the above settings inside the VLAN configuration Table only Untagged traffic is forwardedaccross the bridge.

The same settings should be done inside the remote equipment. The above example showsthe Virtual Lan Configuration Table in case of a link carrying the traffic of 3 independent LAN’sconnected 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/DSCPwindow from Ethernet switch window and select the values of ToS for which the packet is sentto high priority Queue, see Fig. 21.17.

21.6 3 TO 1 PORT CONNECTIONS, SETTINGS FOR TAGGEDAND UNTAGGED TRAFFIC

If we want VLAN with Tag 701, 702 and 703 to transit between Lan–1 and Port–1 it is necessaryto define Port 1 and Lan 1 as members of VLAN1, 701, 760 (see Fig. 21.18 for VLAN 701 anddo the same for VLAN1, 760).

The VLAN Configuration Table will look like Fig. 21.19.

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 use2001, 2701, 2760 for Lan–2 and 3001, 3701, 3760 for Lan–3. Connected equipment to Lan–2port should be reprogrammed to use Vlan 2001, 2701, 2760.

Connected equipment to Lan–3 port should be reprogrammed to use Vlan 3001, 3701, 3760.

21.7 3 TO 1 CONNECTIONS: EXAMPLES OF PRIORITYMANAGEMENT

Example 1: To assign to Lan–1 and Lan–3 low priority and to Lan–2 high priority, while wantingTagged and Untagged to be treated in a fair manner on each queue do as follow: select PriorityDisable for Lan–1, Lan–2 and Lan–3; select Default Priority Queue equal to Queue 0 for lan–1and Lan–3 (see Fig. 21.6). Select Default Priority Queue equal to Queue 3 for Lan–2 (as inFig. 21.20).

Outgoing Untagged packets will take priority tag defined into input port, in this case 0. Taggedframes keep their tag.

Example 2: Wanting tagged frames to be treated according their actual priority and untaggedpackets with low priority, all inputs should be configured as in Fig. 21.21.

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. 21.22.

22. PERIODICAL CHECKS

22.1 GENERAL

Periodical checks are used to check correct operation of the radio equipment without thepresence of any alarm condition.

The SCT/LCT programs running on the PC are used for the purpose.

22.2 CHECKS TO BE CARRIED OUT

The following checks must be carried out:

• check of the transmitted power;

• check of the received field strength (the reading must match the value resulting fromhop calculations);

• check of bit error rate and hop performances.

For checking procedures, please refer to SCT/LCT program and relevant help–on line.

23. TROUBLESHOOTING

23.1 GENERAL

The AL equipment consists of the following replaceable parts:

• IDU

• ODU

Purpose of the troubleshooting is to pinpoint the faulty part and replace it with spare.

Warning: the replacement of a faulty IDU with spare causes the spare IDU to bere–programmed. To the purpose refer to chapter 19 for the relevant procedure.

23.2 TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE

Troubleshooting starts as soon as one of the following alarm condition: IDU/ODU/REM isswitched ON on the IDU panel from (see Fig. 23.1) or alarm messages are displayed bymanagers SCT/LCT.

Two methods are used to troubleshoot the cause of fault:

• loop facilities

• alarm message processing using the manager SCT/LCT


23



23.2.1 Loop facilities

The equipment is provided with different loops that help locate the faulty part.

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 equipmentupstreams

• remote tributary loops: usually used to test the two direction link performance makinguse 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 (optional)

• RF loop: it permits to test the complete radio terminal.

23.2.2 Alarm messages processing

When an alarm condition occurs, the equipment generates a number of alarm messages thatappear 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 performedby the equipment.

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 butrelevant to the link as EOC radio link alarm or link telemetry fail. If these alarms are ONthe link is lost. Investigation must be made on a possible bad propagation or equipmentfailure. 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.

• RIM – This grouping may generate alarms for the following causes:

– external fault: demodulator fail alarm and local ODU alarm are generated whenthe ODU becomes faulty.

– RIM failure – power supply alarm along with cable short/open alarms ormodulator/demodulator alarms are activated.


CM.89012.I


• RT – This grouping may generate alarms for the following causes:

– external fault: Rx power low alarm is generated given by a bad propagation or bya faulty remote terminal.

– ODU failure: PSU fail alarm or RF VCO alarm or RT IF alarm is activated. If thishappens, replace the ODU.

• UNIT – This grouping generates alarms when one of the units, the equipment consistsof, 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 modulefailure. An alarm condition causes Led IDU to steady lights up.
