Evolution Manager
General Description
The Evolution Manager is a web interface of the Network Element. It is used for configuration, testing and monitoring of the Network
Element. The Evolution Manager can be accessed from a web browser, or by means of a network element management system,
such as “NetMaster”.
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
A schematic view of the GUI is shown in the figure below:
The Evolution Manager has two main navigation elements, the top menu and the equipment view. The content frame will display
information as a result of the selections in both menus. This allows for filtering the information in the content frame, by selecting a
specific unit in the equipment view. The Evolution Manager has two navigation modes:
“Network Element”:
When no units are selected in the equipment view, selections in the top menu will cause information relevant to the Network
Element as a whole to be displayed in the content frame. The navigation status will read “Network Element”, and the Evolution
Manager is said to be in “Network Element” mode.
“Individual Unit”:
In contrast, when a specific unit has been selected in the equipment view, selections in the top menu will cause information only
relevant to the selected unit to be displayed in the content frame. This mode is called “Individual Unit” mode, and the navigation
status will reflect this by displaying the name of the selected unit.
In order to break out of “Individual Unit” mode, the “Home” menu option must be selected from the top menu. This brings the
Evolution Manager back to “Network Element” mode, and this will be reflected in the navigation status.

Radio Protection Switching
Radio Protection Switching (RPS) operations for N+1and Hot Stand-by systems are managed by the Supervisory Unit This RPS module interacts with other system
hardware resources to achieve automatic protection switch operations based on switch criteria inputs from the individual radio channels. This module also supports manually
controlled switch operations and status reporting.
Hot Standby configurated systems (See screenshot below this for Freq. Div systems)
Switch Section (Hot Stby)
Hot Standby system configurations implement local equipment protection within the network element (radio station). A protection switch section is then comprised of the
duplicated transmit- and receive-equipment required to serve one antenna. This switch section is monitored and controlled by a single RPS module. The two equipment
paths are identified as Ch. 1 and Ch. 2. The protection switch state is either "Ch. 1 active" or "Ch. 2 active". Each traffic direction (transmit and receive) has its own set of
switch criteria. The system may be set up as "Unidirectional" (radio transmit switch and baseband receive switch operates completely independent of one another) or "Bi-
directional" (radio transmit switch will follow the baseband receive switch if there is no conflicting criteria, and vice versa).
Bi-directional
Bi-directional means that assertion of a criterion in one or the other of the two traffic directions will cause the affected channel to be switched to standby mode for both of its
traffic directions. Restoring it to its working mode will not be permitted until the active criteria for both directions are cleared.
Uni-directional
Uni-directional means that the two traffic directions for a switching section are controlled individually and independent of each other (treated as two independent switch
sections).
If Tx criteria are activated the RPS controls the mute/unmute functions on the two transceivers accordingly. The RPS is to protect the Rx direction for that same
channel, as long as the channel is free of errors.
If the RPS detects an Rx criterion, it shall protect the associated channel, and revert back to bidirectional mode when th Rx criterion disappears. Switch on Tx side will
not be performed.
If there are active Rx criteria on both Rx channels the most severe criterion is to be acknowledged. This means that the automatic HSB switch actually operates in
unidirectional mode as long as conflicting criteria are active. When there are no longer conflicts between Tx and Rx criteria the switch state should be changed to
bidirectional
The RPS controls the Rx switch based on Rx criteria information as for a 1+1 FD automatic switch.
If Tx criteria is activated the RPS controls the mute/unmute functions on the two transceivers accordingly.
Manual Requests
The responsibility of the manual switch function is to set the requested worker channel in standby state in both traffic directions by sending mute/unmute commands to the
tranceivers and performing an Rx switch
Manual switch/restore requests are considered local to the station and, for a given antenna direction, involves transceiver RF switch for Tx and baseband alignment switch
for Rx. This operation is implemented as a bidirectional locked switch.

Start Polling Start the polling function. The polling sequence will continue until Stop Polling is selected
Aligned switching will be performed if possible.The active channel which is to be protected, is polled for data alignment status. When the data stream from the protector
demodulator is aligned with the data stream from the active channel demodulator, an errorless switchover is performed.
In case the alignment process fails, a forced switchover may be performed dependent upon active criteria and configuration settings for the RPS system (if a continuity
criterion is active initially the RPS will not check for alignment but immediately select the forced switchover option)
When the criteria for protecting the channel are no longer active the channel will be restored if the RPS is set to revertive mode.
Function Button: Set Setting of Switch Section parameters
Non-Revertive mode
An active channel set to standby will continue to be in standby
mode even if all criteria are deasserted, until another active
channel needs protection or the protecting channel becomes
degraded, in which case a restore operation is performed.

Note! Bit error may occur when software packages are switched.
Note! It is recommended that you clear the file cache in your web browser after a software switch. The reason for this is to make sure that the browser receives the
correct files.
Complete state
If all the required files are present and the checksum is OK, the software package is in Complete state.
Compatible state
Each software package contain a list of hardware compatibility requirements. This consists of a list of hardware modules with an accompanying version range. If all the
detected modules in the system are found in this list, and their versions fall within the specified ranges, the software package is compatible.
Software Download
A software release generally consists of several ".tar" files. When a new software version is downloaded to the NE, it is recommended to start with the ".tar" file with the
lowest number (e.g. "SW-EVOULUTION-APP-R1A00_1.tar" and then "SW-EVOULUTION-APP-R1A00_2.tar" etc). Follow the instructions on the screen.
If there is an inactive software package on the NE already, this software package will be overwritten.
Dependent on the system configuration it is not always necessary to download all ".tar" files in the actual software release. After downloading the first file, you will be
prompted for the next file to download, if required. When all required files are downloaded, the following message will be displayed:
The downloaded software is still inactive. Activation of new software is performed from the "SU SW Versions" page.

Available clock sources can be added to a priority list by pressing , and removed from the list by . The first entry in the list has highest priority. The priority of a clock source can be changed by clicking or . Maximum three
sources can be added to the list. There are two priority tables: One for the T4 DPLL and one for the T0 DPLL.
Note! The T4 DPLL priority list is only enabled when “External synchronisation output” is set to T4. If “External synchronisation output” is set to T0, the priority list is "greyed out".
The SETS function for T0 can operate in revertive or non-revertive mode when Quality label mode is disabled.
If Quality label mode is chosen the switching between the sources will take into account the status of the SSM byte for the sources, and if equal SSM byte also the source priority. If Quality label mode is set to Off, the switching
is performed according to priority and validation of the sources only.
The quality of the tributary input signal 1 and 2 can be set in the Tributary synchronisation 1 input quality and Tributary synchronisation 2 input quality fields.
The quality of the external input signal from the front can be set in the External synchronization input quality field.
The source for the external synchronization output can be configured to either T0 or T4.
A source colored green indicates an active clock source. If the SETS function is in holdover mode the Local oscillator source for T0 will be red.
Note! The T4 status is only visible if T4 is chosen as the source for the External synchronization output in the SETS Configuration.

● RF input alarm thresholds can be set such that an alarm is raised when the input level exceeds the upper or lower limits.
● ATPC (Automatic Transmit Power Control) is a function for effectively reducing the interference probability in the network. When ATPC is enabled, the output power from the transmitter is automatically controlled. The "ATPC" alarm is generated
if ATPC stops functioning. Note that ATPC must be available on both sides of the hop in order to be used. The table "Recommended ATPC Input Reference Level" gives the correct ATPC Input Reference Level as a function of payload,
channel spacing and radio frequency.
● If ATPC is not enabled, the transmitted output level can be set (MTPC). The transmitter can also be muted.
Note! In XPIC configurations it is highly recommended that the ATPC function is enabled.
The values in the example below are typical and will vary according to the calculated values from the system propagation.
Input Field: MTPC
Output Level ATPC is disabled and constant manual output level is selected.
ATPC Output level is automatically adjusted according to the specified ATPC settings.
Input Reference Level -The desired input level. If ATPC is enabled on the remote transmitter, the remote
transmitter will regulate its output power such that the received input level at this receiver is
equal to the reference level.
See table below for recommended Input Reference Level.
Max. Output Level -The Transmitters maximum output level (dBm)
Default Output Level -The Transmitters default output level (dBm). The output power to be used if ATPC
regulation loop fails (The "ATPC" alarm is raised).
ATPC Lower Limit for Mask Enable Enable the ATPC Lower Limit if the output power is required to comply with the
mask defined for the equipment also when operating in ATPC mode. The limit
used is the same as the minimum available MTPC output power.

Registers
Displays periodic Measurements. Period measurements are measurements cumulated over a predefined period of time (15 minutes, 24 hours and 1month). The start times
of these measurements are also predefined:
15Min measurements start at h:00:00, h:15:00, h:30:00 and h:45:00, where h denotes hour.
24Hour measurements start at each midnight (00:00:00).
Month measurements start at midnight at each month transition.
Note that the NE is using GMT time, such that the measurement start time is relative to GMT time and not to your PC’s local time.
For 15Min measurements the NE keeps the 16 latest periods. For 24Hour and Month measurements only the latest period is kept.
Note that the running performance measurements will be reset due to a SW restart on the corresponding board/unit. E.g. restarting a Line Interface Unit will reset all periodic
measurements on that unit.
