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 conductor.
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
12
Do not attempt to remove clothing from burnt sections
Apply dry gauze on the burns
Do not apply ointments or other oily substances.

Tab.1 - Artificial respiration

Step
Description
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
stomach is slightly lower than his chest. Open the patients
mouth and check that there is no foreign matter in mouth (dentures, chewing gum, etc.).
Figure
Kneel beside the patient level with his head. Put an hand under
the patients head and one under his neck.
2
Lift the patients head and let it recline backwards as far

as possible.
Shift the hand from the patients 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 oxygen by taking deep breaths with your mouth open
With your thumb between the patients chin and mouth keep
his lips together and blow into his nasal cavities
2.2
While performing these operations observe if the patients

chest rises. If not it is possible that his nose is blocked: in that
case open the patients 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 patients chest
heaves. This second method can be used instead of the first
even when the patients 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 patients 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
patient has regained consciousness, or until a doctor has ascertained his death.

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 modulator 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 generates 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. Opposite 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. Opposite 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 process. The 2 Mbit/s wayside undergoes stuffing process before being sent to the B.I. Opposite operation occurs at the Rx side.
Fig.41 2x34 Mbit/s multiplexing. The two 34368 kbit/s tributaries are directly sent to the Bit Insertion 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 occurring at the following bit rate depending on various versions implemented:

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 corrector. 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 directly 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 synchronisation 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.

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 following 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 demodulator 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 madeup by the main controller and associated peripherals within the ODU. Controls 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 carriers: 17.5 MHz from IDU to ODU; 5.5 MHz from ODU to IDU.
50
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
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.
Login: the main controller manages the equipment or network login/logout by setting and then
controlling the users ID and relevant password.
Database (MIB): validation and storing in a nonvolatile memory of the equipment configuration
parameters.
Equipment configuration: distribution of the parameters stored in the MIB towards the peripheral
Ps 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 Ps. Local 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 program (active bank) and the standby program (inactive bank). This permits to 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 on the peripheral controllers.
Peripheral controllers
The peripheral controllers take place within the ODU and are slaved to main controller with the task of activating 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 supervision 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.

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 standard 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: MLT3 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 activity 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 separated 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 address 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 receiving, 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 interface. 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 available and can temporarily reroute the traffic.
9.1.3.7
MDI/MDIX crossover
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 crossover cable is not required.
68
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
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 messages. 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 Default 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 arent 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 ports 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 organized 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 organized 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 Configuration 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 priority (see Fig.53).
Priority can be organized by incoming port or by incoming priority tag:
70
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..
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 Priority that means that a queue completely empties before processing the next one.
9.1.3.12
Layer 3, Priority function, QoS, IPV4 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.

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 configuration 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 connected 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 E1s. In case
of Not Protected modality, all the 126 E1s 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 E1s are used between node A and node B and the other 63 E1s are used as protection of the
connections between node A and node C, the connections used as protection pass from node B in passthrough 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-connection window, only the NBUS with 126 E1s (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-connection 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 necessary.
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 circuit 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.

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.

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 quality (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
the PRx power at the receiver B is lower than the ATPC Low Thresholds and then more power is
required to the transmitter
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:
90
the PTx power at 4QAM is equal to the maximum power possible for the modulation 16/32QAM
the ATPC circuit is not requiring the increase of the Tx power of the remote transmitter
no error is occurred in the last seconds (default: 10 seconds).
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 modulation 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.

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 direction and can be dropped (received) from one direction or from the other depending on cross connection 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 Mbit/s G.704 alarms (AIS, OOF, OOMF, BER6) where:
14.4
AIS: presence of AIS
OOF: out of E1 frame
OOMF: out of E1 multiframe
BER6: BER = 106
Preferential.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Description that follows is referring to MATRIX/PROCESSOR/CONTROLLER/RIM module the IDU consists of.
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003

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 undergoes stuffing process before being sent to the B.I.

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 standby version (refer to Fig.76) consist of two 1+0 ODUs mechanically secured to a structure 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 forwarded 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 depends on the go/return frequency value. The mixer is of SHP type.
The IF Tx frequency is P 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
P 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 sensitivity. The following downconverter translates the RF frequency to approximately 765 MHz. The conversion mixer is SSB type. The sideband selection is given through a P 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 frequency, 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 P.
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 standby 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 standby transmitter.

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.

On their sides the subracks making up the several IDU versions are provided with two holes for the M6
screws fastening the subracks to a rack or to a 19 mechanical structure. The front of the IDU mechanical
structure is provided with the holes at the sides. This permits to fasten the subrack to a 19 rack by means
of 4 M6 screws.
18.3.2
1RU IDU installation
To avoid overtemperature problems the free space below and above a 1RU IDU must be 44 mm (1RU)
minimum.
18.3.3
2RU IDU installation
To avoid overtemperature problems the free space below and above a 2RU IDU must be 44 mm (1RU)
minimum.
Nodal and Drop/Insert compositions need the use of D12148-03 controller. In case of different compositions it is necessary to have 88 mm (2RU) free space below and above the 2RU IDU.
18.4
ELECTRICAL WIRING
The electrical wiring must be done using appropriate cables thus assuring the equipment responds to the
electromagnetic compatibility standards.
The cable terminates to flying connectors which have to be connected to the corresponding connectors on
the equipment front.
Position and pinout of the equipment connectors are available in this section.
Tab.19 shows the characteristics of the cables to be used and the flying connector types.

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.

LINEUP OF LIM ETHERNET/2 MBIT/S
30.1
GENERAL
This paragraph deals with lineup 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 Lan1 port to remote Lan1 port connection Lam per port, see Fig.166
Local Lan1 port to remote Lan1 port connection with only VLANs
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 lineup 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 licence 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 capacity if we use two 2 Mbit/s the capacity assigned to Ethernet circuits is automatically set to 6x2 = 12
Mbit/s full duplex.
Fig.167 - Selection of Ethernet Throughput

ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
Fig.168 - Tributary enable

See Fig.169 for General settings for the switch. All the used ports must be Enabled, so enable Lan1 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 traffic at Lan1 exits at Internal Port and into Fig.173 incoming traffic at Internal Port exits at lan1 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
Fallback: if Tagged packets have their Vlan Id into Vlan Configuration Table they follow the connection described into the table, otherwise they follow the Lan per port settings as Untagged packets
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 Unmodified the outgoing packets at Lan1 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 Untagged packets should be blocked.
254
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
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 circuits is automatically set to 162x2 = 12 Mbit/s full duplex.
See Fig.168 for general settings for the switch. All the used ports must be enabled, so enable Lan1 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 Lan1 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 Configuration Table can transit. All Untagged packets are blocked at the incoming port and outgoing Tagged
packets dont 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 membership 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.175 - Virtual Lan input and output settings at Lan1 port
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
255
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 Lan1 window select Priority (802.1q), into priority box there are some selections: with Disable
switch doesnt 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.178; with IpToS802.1p switch looks first to ToS/DSCP
and secondly to Tag 802.1p.
Note: with IpToS switch looks to IP packet and ToS/DSCP doesnt 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.

Lan2 and Lan3 and viceversa.
Lan1 to Lan1 connection should transfer tagged packets with Vlan 1, 701, 760 and untagged packets.
Unspecified tagged packets must be stopped. Lan2 and Lan3 have the same requirements. For all connections IP packets with high priority TOS should transferred at minimum delay.

3 TO 1 PORT CONNECTIONS, SETTINGS FOR UNTAGGED TRAFFIC
The lineup 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 Lan1, Lan2, Lan3 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, Lan1 with default VID 3301, Lan2 with default VID 3302, Lan3
with default VID 3303, for Lan1 see Fig.180, Fig.181 and Fig.183.
The correct Cable Crossover arrangement must be selected too.
Fig.180 - Input and output setting for VLANs at Lan1 port

ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
Fig.181 - Output port properties for VLAN 3301
Vlan 3301, 3302, 3303 are allowed to exit at Port1

with tags (Tagged). Different default Tags 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 LANs connected to Lan1, Lan
2, Lan3, which is split at the remote end among the outgoing Lan1, Lan2, Lan3 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 Ethernet switch window and select the values of ToS for which the packet is sent to high priority Queue, see
Fig.183.

3 TO 1 PORT CONNECTIONS, SETTINGS FOR TAGGED AND UNTAGGED TRAFFIC
If we want VLAN with Tag 701, 702 and 703 to transit between Lan1 and Port1 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 Lan2 and Lan3 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 Lan3. Connected equipment to Lan2 port should be reprogrammed to use
Vlan 2001, 2701, 2760.
Connected equipment to Lan3 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.

3 TO 1 CONNECTIONS: EXAMPLES OF PRIORITY MANAGEMENT
Example 1: To assign to Lan1 and Lan3 low priority and to Lan2 high priority, while wanting Tagged
and Untagged to be treated in a fair manner on each queue do as follow: select Priority Disable for Lan1,
Lan2 and Lan3; select Default Priority Queue equal to Queue 0 for lan1 and Lan3 (see Fig.172). Select
Default Priority Queue equal to Queue 3 for Lan2 (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 LanX (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.

32.3
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 parameters (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:

-
272
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)
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
32.4.1
Tributary - Tributary : Cross-connection between the tributaries available on the front side of
the Matrix module (E1, STM-1, NBUS or NBUS1 and 2)
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 connector 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 tributary 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
35.1
GENERAL
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 reprogrammed. To the purpose refer to chapter 26 INSTALLATION ONTO THE POLE OF THE ODU
WITH INTEGRATED ANTENNA (KIT V32307, V32308, V32309) and 28 INSTALLATION ONTO THE POLE OF
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:
290
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
ALS - MN.00183.E - 003
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 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 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. Substitution 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 becomes 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. Substitution 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)).

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 antenna 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.
