IP-10 (1+1) Configuration Procedure

This document describes the procedure of configuring IP-10 (1+1) operation mode. In the following setup, we simulate the radio link with a SMA coax cables, coupler and RF attenuators. The procedure describes various configuration steps that may repeat for each unit. It is strongly recommended to complete all the configuration steps for a certain IP-10 unit before proceeding with configuring the next IP-10 unit. During the process of configuring the IP-10s, you may need to reset the units (e.g. Switch configuration). During a reset, it is advised as well to wait until system has completed the reset and continue with the configuration before proceeding before proceeding with configuring the next IP-10 unit.

Required setup:
IP-10 Radio units (ODU) Attenuators IF cables (IDU-ODU) 4 items 4 items 4 items 4 items

RF coax cables (SMA) 5 items Straight ETH cables for management (single cable or as needed) Cross ETH cable, to be used as Protection cable 2 items Protection panel Traffic Generator 1 item (optional) 1 item (optional)

Step A: Setting up the equipment

1. Connect the four IP-10 devices as described in the following diagram:

IP 10 Upper
192.168.1.11

ODU

ODU

IP 10 Upper
192.168.1.1

IP 10 Lower
192.168.1.12

ODU

ODU

IP 10 Lower
192.168.1.2

WEST

EAST
rd

2. Connect the Protection cable (ETH Cross cable) on both ends (3 RJ-45 connector labeled PROT). In the above diagram the Protection Cable is illustrated in orange. Protection cable (Cross ETH) Attenuator RF Coupler

Step B: Setting up the equipment

EAST - Upper IP-10 3. Connect locally (CLI) with a serial cable and configure IP address. 4. Connect to IP-10 with a web browser (EMS) (ETH cable) 5. Verify that correct versions are installed EMS: Configuration / General / Versions

6. Set all to factory defaults EMS: Diagnostics & Maintenance / Configuration Management When you click the Activate button, a new window will pop up, asking whether you wish to restore the IP address as well (click Cancel) or maintain current IP (OK). If you wish to restore IP addresses to factory defaults, note that your current session (web EMS) will not be valid, you will need to log in to 192.168.1.1 (default IP).

Repeat steps B.3 to B.6 for: EAST - Lower IP-10 WEST - Upper IP-10 WEST - Lower IP-10 Make sure you set unique IP addresses per device. Compare versions of all units.

Step C: Preliminary Configuration

EAST - Upper IP-10 7. Connect to IP-10 via EMS (WEB) 8. Configure necessary parameters: System info Radio parameters MRMC Interfaces Etc. Repeat steps C.7 to C.8 for: WEST - Upper IP-10

Make sure you do not configure lower units (STBY), we want to test it is copied automatically upon request (coming next)

Step D: Enabling Protection

EAST - Upper IP-10 9. Connect via EMS 10. Enable Protection (make sure Protection cable is connected on port 3). When you click rd Apply you will be notified that your Protection port (3 RJ-45) can no longer be used for data due to Protection mode. EMS: Configuration / Protection (Enabling Protection may take a few seconds. In addition, new alarms may appear on both units, on both ends, due to configuration mismatch and radio link state). Repeat steps D.9 to D.10 for: EAST - Lower IP-10 WEST - Upper IP-10 WEST - Lower IP-10

Step E: Copying configuration to Mate

EAST - Upper IP-10 11. In the Protection window (screen shot above), click Copy to Mate. Copying configuration to mate units may take a few seconds to minutes, depending on configuration. Once copying has completed successfully, a reset process takes place and systems might switch automatically from Active to STBY and vice versa. Please note that once IP-10 has changed into Standby mode, it is not accessible via EMS (although it replies to PING). You may access the Standby unit via the Active unit (Open Mate). Repeat step E.11 for:

WEST - Upper IP-10

Step F: Copying configuration to Mate

EAST - Upper IP-10 VS. EAST Lower IP-10 12. Connect via EMS (WEB) and compare preliminary configuration with EAST Lower IP10. Repeat step F.12 for: WEST - Upper IP-10 VS. WEST Lower IP-10

Step G: Switching from Active to Mate and vice versa

EAST - Upper IP-10 As explained in step E.11, Once copying has completed successfully, a reset process takes place and systems might switch automatically from Active to STBY and vice versa. It is assumed hereby that the Upper units are the Active units.

13. You may use the following features to switch between one state to another:

Protection Lockout:

Off: switching is enabled On: switching is disabled

Protection force SW: Off: forced switchover is disabled On: user triggers a manual switchover (requires Apply) Manual switch: If conditions qualify for a switchover, the system may accept the manual switchover command. If conditions do not qualify (e.g. no radio link on mate), manual S/O will not occur.

Repeat step G.13 for: WEST - Upper IP-10 (assuming it is the Active)
