 2 FIRST AID FOR ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND SAFETY
RULES

2.1 FIRST AID FOR ELECTRICAL SHOCK

Do not touch the bare hands until the circuit has been opened. pen the circuit by switching off the line
switches. If that is not possible protect yourself with dry material and free the patient from the con-
ductor.

2.1.1 Artificial respiration

It is important to start mouth respiration at once and to call a doctor immediately. suggested procedure
for mouth to mouth respiration method is described in the Tab.1.

2.1.2 Treatment of burns

This treatment should be used after the patient has regained consciousness. It can also be employed while
artificial respiration is being applied (in this case there should be at least two persons present).

Warning

• Do not attempt to remove clothing from burnt sections

• Apply dry gauze on the burns

• Do not apply ointments or other oily substances.

ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001
 Tab.1 - Artificial respiration

Step Description Figure

Lay the patient on his back with his arms parallel to the body.
If the patient is laying on an inclined plane, make sure that his
1 stomach is slightly lower than his chest. Open the patients
mouth and check that there is no foreign matter in mouth (den-
tures, chewing gum, etc.).

Kneel beside the patient level with his head. Put an hand under
the patient’s head and one under his neck.
Lift the patient’s head and let it recline backwards as far
2 as possible.

Shift the hand from the patient’s neck to his chin and his
mouth, the index along his jawbone, and keep the other fingers
closed together.

3 While performing these operations take a good supply of oxy-

gen by taking deep breaths with your mouth open

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

While performing these operations observe if the patient’s

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

Start with ten rapid expirations, hence continue at a rate of

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

2.2 SAFETY RULES

When the equipment units are provided with the plate, shown in Fig.1, it means that they contain compo-
nents electrostatic charge sensitive.

age: class 1.2; transport: class 2.3)

• EN 60950 for safety.

5.2 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

The ALS “plus2 family” is the new packet radio link from SIAE. These packet radio links are split mount
equipment made up of:

• an indoor unit called IDU for 19” rack mounting that interfaces tributaries and supervises the full
equipment

• an outdoor unit called ODU for pole or wall mounting with RF circuitry and antenna flange.
IDU units are available in the following mechanical versions

• modular: ALplus2. Main circuits are divided in modules, replaceable in case of failure

• compact: ALCplus2. All the circuitry is housed in a single board.

ODU units are available in the following versions:

• AS (max capacity of 341 Mbit/s)

• ASN (max capacity of 341 Mbit/s)

5.3 ALplus2 MODULAR IDU

The unit is available in the following configurations:

• ALplus2 1+0 for E1 and Ethernet traffic (see Fig.6)

• ALplus2 1+1 for E1 and Ethernet traffic (see Fig.7)

The following modules make up the modular IDU.

ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001

19
 5.3.1 LIM

The LIM interfaces the in (out) E1 streams and Ethernet traffic and, through a multiplexing (demultiplex-
ing) and bit insertion (bit extraction) process, supplies (receives) the aggregate signal to the modulator
(from the demodulator). In addition the LIM performs the digital processing of the QAM modulator.

Moreover the module duplicates the main signals at the Tx side and performs the changeover at the Rx
side in the 1+1 version.

5.3.2 RIM

The RIM contains:

• the IF section of the programmable modemodulator (8 available profiles: 4QAM, 4QAM strong,
8PSK, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM, 256QAM)

• the power supply unit that processes the battery voltage to supply power to the IDU circuits and
send the battery voltage towards the ODU

• the cable interface for the bidirectional communication between IDU and ODU via interconnecting
cable

• thanks to ACM (Adaptive Code Modulation) actual modulation can be automatically changed accord-
ing to available S/N.

5.3.3 Controller

The Controller performs the following operations:

• interfaces the service signals as 1x9600 bit/s or 2x4800 bit/s, 64 kbit/s, 2 Mbit/s (details are given
in the system technical specification)
• contains the equipment software that permits to control and to manage all the equipment function-
ality through a main controller and associated peripherals distributed within IDU and ODU

• interfaces the SCT/LCT management system through Ethernet, RS232 and USB ports

• receive external alarms and route them to relay contact along with the internal alarms generated
by the equipment.

5.4 ALCplus2 COMPACT IDU

The unit is available in the following configurations:

• ALCplus2 1+0 see Fig.8

• ALCplus2 1+1 see Fig.9

• ALCplus2 1+0 exp 16E1 see Fig.10

• ALCplus2 1+1 exp 16E1 see Fig.11

• ALCplus2 1+0 exp 32E1 see Fig.12

• ALCplus2 1+1 exp 32E1 see Fig.13

• ALCplus2 1+0 exp nodal see Fig.14

• ALCplus2 1+1 exp nodal see Fig.15

The compact IDU are made by a single board.

20
ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001
 The line interfaces contain the tributary connectors and, by means of processes of multiplexing/demulti-
plexing and of bit insertion/extraction, provide/receive the aggregate signal to/from the modulator/de-
modulator. The line interfaces realize the digital processing for the QAM modulator and, in 1+1
configuration, duplicate the main signals on the transmission side and execute the switch on the reception
side.

The interfaces to the ODU contain the interface of the cable for the bidirectional communication between
ODU and IDU, and implement the IF section of the mo-demodulator. The power supply units of the IDU
process the battery voltage and supply power to the circuits of IDU and ODU. The controller section of the
radio contains the interfaces of the service channels, stores the firmware of the IDU, interfaces the SIAE
management systems through dedicated supervision ports and forwards external and internal alarms to
the relay contacts.

5.5 ODU

The ODU unit contains IF and RF circuits that permits to transmit and receive the signals relevant the user
traffic, the management and the telemetry and it is connected with its IDU unit through a single cable.

The ODU employs four different passband filters with the following bandwidth: 7, 14, 28 and 56 MHz.

The ODU unit is available in two different versions: AS (only from hardware version 003) and ASN (opti-
mized).
The configuration of the ODU can be 1+0 or 1+1 with integrated or separated antenna.

In 1+1 configuration the antenna coupling is performed through a balanced or an unbalanced hybrid sys-
tem (branching unit).

5.6 MANAGEMENT

ALplus2 equipment can be locally and remotely controlled via an internal dedicated application software
called WEBLCT through Internet Browser and LAN connection. A serial/USB connection can be used through
the Web Lct console, an application that can be downloaded from SIAE site (http://www.siaemic.com)

It provides a friendly graphic interface complying with current standard use of keyboard, mouse, windows
and so on.

Other software available for management of a network of ALplus2 is SCT (Windows) and NMS5UX/NMS5LX
(Unix/Linux).

 • user in and alarm out management: it receives external alarms and route them to relay contacts
along with the internal alarms generated by the equipment

• performance monitoring: PM management as per Recc. G.828

• download: firmware, Web Lct and configuration file can be downloaded. Download activity is based
on FTP protocol.

lLithium battery inside, refer to national rules for disposal.

7.1.2.1 Service signals

The controller offers an electrical interface to the following three service channel:

• 9600 baud/V.28 or 2x4800 baud/V.28 or 9600 baud V.28/RS232 synch/asynch channels

• 64 kbit/s/V.11 codirectional or contradirectional

• E1 wayside G.703.

Service signals connected to the controller modules are sent to the LIM module for MUX/DEMUX process-
ing.

7.1.2.2 Firmware

Equipment software permits to control and manage all the equipment functionality and it is distributed on
two hardware levels: main controller and ODU peripheral controllers.

Firmware can be updated through the Web Lct and it is stored in two different memory banks: one con-
taining the running firmware and the other the stand-by firmware. This permits to download a new
firmware release to the stand by bank without cutting the traffic

Bank switch enables the new release to be used.

7.1.2.3 Web Lct

The Web Lct allows the configuration and the management of the local equipment. When the remote one
is configured properly, the whole radio link can be managed.

Web Lct runs on Internet Explorer and Firefox with Flash player plug-in.

WLC is a utility to connect to ALplus2 with USB cable.

WLC and Flash player plug-in for IE and Firefox can be downloaded from the site www.siaemic.com after
registration.

7.1.2.4 Controller LEDs

On Controller front panel are present four LEDs to summarize the terminal status:

• URG - red, ON with critical or major alarms active

• NURG - red, ON with minor or warning alarms active

• SW - red, ON with firmware mismatch alarm

• TEST - yellow, ON with at least a manual operation active.

Always on Controller front panel are present two Ethernet ports for management, MNGT1 and MNGT2,
whose LEDs are:

• during the boot with Ethernet cable inserted:

- green LED = ON

ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001

37
 - yellow LED = blinking

• during the boot without Ethernet cable inserted:

- green LED = OFF

- yellow LED = OFF

• in standard working condition:

- green LED = ON -> LINK UP

- green LED = OFF -> LINK DOWN

- yellow LED = ON -> LINK 100BaseT

- yellow LED = OFF -> LINK 10BaseT.

7.1.2.5 SD memory card management

On the Controller board is present a slot, not accessible from the external, for the insertion of a memory
card.

The memory card allows the upload/download of the equipment configuration and the equipment firmware

- Memory card format SD, SDHC

- Memory card capacity up to 4 GB.

7.1.3 LIM

The LIM performs the following operations:

• multiplexing and demultiplexing (MUX/DEMUX process) of traffic (tributaries and Ethernet frames)

• aggregation of the multiplexed signals along with services through a Bit Insertion circuit and vice-
versa. 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 (FAW)

- the bits dedicated to the FEC

• switch functionality for Ethernet ports

• processing of the signals during the mo-demodulation

• STM1 signal processing and RSOH management

• duplication of the digital processed signals to supply two RIMs in 1+1 configuration.

From the two RIMs the LIM receives I and Q analogue signals then digital converted for the following
processing:

• clock recovery
• frequency and phase carrier locking

• baseband equalisation and filtering

• bit polarity decision

• differential decoding

• parallel to serial conversion to recover the aggregate signal at the receive side.

The aggregate signal is then sent to a frame alignment circuit and CRC analysis and then to the error cor-
rector. The errors uncorrected by the FEC are properly counted to achieve:

38
ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001
 • BER estimate measurement

• radio performances.

7.1.3.1 Switch for Ethernet ports

Inside LIM is present an Ethernet switch with 3 external ports (electrical 1000BaseT or optical 1000BaseX)
and one internal. Only port 1 is present with both kind of interface, the port 2 is electrical and port 3 optical.
The external interfaces (3 operational on 4 presents) are placed on the front panel. Internal port is repre-
sented by the local radio stream where through native Ethernet transport is connected with the remote
equipment.

Ethernet port LEDs

There are 2 LEDs:

• Speed
- one blinking = 10BaseT
- two blinking = 100BaseT
- three blinking = 1000BaseT

• LINK/ACT
- on = link up, no activity
- off = link down
- blinking = activity.

Switch function

LIM can operate like a switch between two or more separated LANs with the following advantages:
• to connect two separate LANs

• 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
the traffic in a single LAN.

The switch realised 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 one (Local and Remote).

Routing is only on the basic of Level 2 addresses, sublevel MAC.

The operation is the following: when a LAN port 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).

Ethernet Full Duplex function

Full duplex mode can be activated into 10/100BaseT interfaces manually or with autonegotiation.
100BaseFx operates always into full duplex mode.

ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001

39
 Link Loss Forwarding

Link Loss Forwarding (LLF) is an alarm status of Ethernet interface. LLF can be enabled or disabled.

If LLF is enabled, any linkdown alarm 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 re-route the traffic.

MDI/MDIX cross-over

The Ethernet electrical interface into FEM module can be defined by WebLct as MDI or MDIX to cross-over
between pairs so that external cross-over cable is not required.

VLAN functionality

LIM Ethernet module works with IEEE 802.1q and 802.1p tag. Tag is made up with:

• a fixed word of 2 bytes

• 3 bits for priority according with 802.1p

• 1 fixed bit
• 12 bits VLAN identifier (VLAN ID) according with 802.1q.

Switch cross-connections are based on Vlan Configuration Table where input and output ports or only out-
put ports should be defined for any used VID. Vlan ID (VID) has a range from 1 to 4095.

7.1.3.2 STM-1 synchronisation

Refer to Fig.16.
STM-1 frame generation requires that it is synchronised to a SDH network.

Into ALplus2 a synchronisation circuit, called SETS, gets the synchronisation signal from the following dif-
ferent sources:
• radio

• STM1

• tributary A/WST

• tributary B

• tributary n

• Lan3
• Lan4

• Internal source

As shown in Fig.16 the clocks extracted from the sources are sent to a selection circuit that chooses one
of the signals depending on the control sent by a selection logic.

This latter acts on the base of alarm roots (LOS-loss of input signal, LTI-loss of timing input, LOF-loss of
frame), on the base of assigned priority and manual forcing.
The selected clock drives an oscillator through a PLL circuit. The oscillator will generate the required syn-
chronisation for the STM-1 frame generation. If no input signals are available the internal oscillator source
is used for the local restart.

7.1.3.3 LIM LEDs

On LIM front panel are present two LEDs to describe the following aspect:

• PoE - green, ON if Power over Ethernet facility is active

• FAIL - red, ON if the boot of the module wasn’t successful.

7.1.4 RIM

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.

ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001

41
 7.1.4.1 Modulator

Signals from LIM are connected to a 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 combiner circuit to generate the QAM modulation.

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

7.1.4.2 Demodulator

At the receive side, from the cable interface, the 140 MHz QAM modulated carrier is sent to the QAM de-
modulator passing through a cable equalizer circuit.

The QAM demodulator within the RIM converts the signal to be sent to the digital part of the demodulator
within the LIM.

7.1.4.3 Adaptive code modulation

ACM profiles

In ALplus2/ALplus2 radio family uses Adaptive Code and Modulation (ACM) in order to employ the correct
modulation profile depending on the Rx signal quality.

Available ACM profiles are the following:

• 4QAM strong

• 4QAM
• 8PSK

• 16QAM

• 32QAM
• 64QAM

• 128QAM

• 256QAM.

These profiles operate in an RF channel with the following bandwidth:

• 7 MHz

• 14 MHz

• 28 MHz

• 56 MHz.

ACM switching

The usage of the previous modulation profiles in a fixed channel bandwidth results in a variable capacity.

The criteria defining the necessity of an ACM switching, upshift or downshift, is the Rx S/N ratio.

• Upshift - When there is an increase of received S/N, within the same Channel Spacing, the modu-
lation complexity is increased in the direction from 4QAM strong to 256QAM increasing the spectral
efficiency

42
ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001
 • Downshift - When there is a decrease of received S/N, within the same Channel Spacing, the mod-
ulation is reduced in the direction from 256QAM to 4QAM strong reducing the spectral efficiency,

In order to configure properly the radio link using ACM facility, an optimization must be found between
max traffic during good propagation conditions and max availability during bad propagation conditions. To
obtain this purpose the ACM in ALplus2/ALCplus2 family can be configured via software setting the follow-
ing parameters: ACM setting and Tx Power mode.

ACM setting

The ACM can vary modulation profiles between two extremes defined by the operator through software
configuration: Upper Modulation and Lower Modulation.

• Upper modulation - When propagation into the given radio channel is in the better condition (high
Rx S/N), the radio link is working at the maximum throughput defined at Upper Modulation: the
highest modulation profile that ACM can employ

• Lower modulation - When propagation into the given radio channel is in the worst condition (low
Rx S/N), the radio link is working at the minimum throughput, defined at Lower Modulation: the
lowest modulation profile that ACM can employ

Tx power mode

Tx power mode can be set as Constant Peak or Constant Average (constant bolometer measurement).

• Constant Peak - Tx power is at maximum at 4QAM and at 256QAM is reduced (typical 4.5 dB) so
the RF Tx amplifier can operate in better linear conditions.

• Constant Average - Tx power is the same at any modulation.

The Tx Power mode is set depending on the modulation license of the user and depending on the Lower
Modulation that has been set.

For example:

In case of a 4QAM licence, all the other modulations must remain into the 4QAM mask. In this condition
Tx power must be Constant Peak (Tx Power Constant Peak Mode = Enable): max Tx power at 4QAM and
reduced power at all the other modulations.

In case of a 16QAM licence (or higher complexity) and Lower Modulation is set at 4QAM, the emitted spec-
trum must remain into the emitted spectrum defined for 16QAM even if the equipment is transmitting at
4QAM. In this case Tx power must be Constant Average (Tx Power Constant Peak Mode = Disable): Tx
power is always the same at any modulation and typically is the Upper Modulation's power. As an alterna-
tive the Lower Modulation can be set at 16QAM so Tx power Constant Peak can be activated.

With Constant Average Tx power (Tx Power Constant Peak Mode = Disable), the Tx power at 4QAM and
any other modulation is the same of Upper Modulation, so if Upper Modulation is 256QAM the output power
at any modulation is the same of 256QAM which is 4.5 dB less than 4QAM. The result is that enabling
256QAM is a big advantage for traffic but less link budget margin at 4QAM.

E1 priority

E1 available tributaries belong to two groups.

One is Permanent E1 equal to High Priority E1 that will never be interrupted during modulation downshift.

Downshift modulation will be limited to the minimum to obtain the selected Permanent E1.

The second group is Extra E1 equal to Low Priority, these tributaries will be interrupted progressively during
modulation downshift. They will start to be cut from the highest e.g. tributaries 16th or 32nd up to the first.

In Tab.9 it is reported the priority of tributaries, the lowest will be cut first.

Ethernet traffic

Once defined the bandwidth, Permanent E1 and Extra E1 at any modulation the amount of Ethernet ca-
pacity is the total radio capacity minus the Permanent + Extra E1 at any modulation.

7.1.4.4 Power supply

The -48 V battery voltage feeds the IDU and ODU circuitry. The service voltage for the IDU feeding are
achieved through a DC/DC converter for +3.6 V generation and a step down circuit for -5 V.

Both voltages are protected against overvoltages and overcurrents. The same battery running through the
interconnection cable gives the power to the ODU.

An electronic breaker protects the battery against cable failure.

7.1.4.5 Telemetry IDU/ODU

The dialogue IDU/ODU is made-up by the main controller and associated peripherals within the ODU. Con-
trols for ODU management and alarm reporting is performed making use of a bidirectional 388 kbit/s
framed signals.
The transport along the interconnecting cable is carried out via two FSK modulated carriers:

• 17.5 MHz from IDU to ODU

• 5.5 MHz from ODU to IDU.

7.2 LOOPS

To control the IDU correct operation a set of local and remote loops are made available. The commands
are forwarded by the WEBLCT/NMS program. Loop block diagram is shown by Fig.17.

7.2.1 Tributary

Tributary local loop

Each input tributary is routed directly to the tributary output upon receiving the command. The Tx line
transmission is still on.

44
ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001
 Tributary remote loop

Each tributary directed towards the Rx output line is routed back to the Tx line. The Rx line is still on.

7.2.2 IDU loop

This kind of loop permits to check the full IDU operation. When activated, the modulator output is connect-
ed to demodulator input.

The loop is assured by converting the frequency of the modulator from 330 MHz to 140 MHz.

 9 ODU DESCRIPTION

9.1 ODU VERSIONS

Two ODU versions are available: AS and ASN.

In the following pages eventual differences are pointed out.

The ODU (refer to Fig.24) 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 configuration consists of two 1+0 ODUs mechanically secured to a structure housing the hybrid
(or branching unit) for the antenna connection.

9.1.1 AS ODU

The AS ODU is shown in Fig.24 (single ODU) and in Fig.25 (1+1 ODU with branching unit).

Electrical and mechanical characteristics are listed in a separate addendum relevant to ODU frequency.

9.1.2 ASN ODU

The ASN ODU is shown in Fig.24 (single ODU) and in Fig.25 (1+1 ODU with branching unit).

Electrical and mechanical characteristics are listed in a separate addendum relevant to ODU frequency.

9.2 DESCRIPTION

The blocks that arrange the ODU are the following:

• cable interface

• power supply

• Tx section
• Rx section

• 1+1 branching unit

ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001

53
 9.3 CABLE INTERFACE

The cable interface permits to interface the cable interconnecting IDU to ODU and viceversa.
It receives/transmits the following signals:

• 330 MHz (from IDU to ODU)

• 140 MHz (from ODU to IDU)

• 17.5 MHz (from IDU to ODU)

• 5.5 MHz (from ODU to IDU)

• remote power supply.

The 17.5 MHz and 5.5 MHz FSK modulated carriers, carry the telemetry channel. This latter consists of two
388 kbit/s streams one from IDU to ODU with the information to manage the ODU (RF power, RF frequen-
cy, capacity, etc...) while the other, from ODU to IDU, sends back to IDU measurements and alarms of the
ODU. The ODU management is made by a µP.

9.4 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.

9.5 TX SECTION

Refer to block diagram shown in Fig.26.

The 330 MHz QAM modulated carrier from the cable interface (see chapter 9.3 CABLE INTERFACE) is for-
warded to a mixer passing through a cable equalizer for cable loss compensation up to 40 dB at 330 MHz.
The mixer and the following bandpass filter give rise to a second IF Tx carrier the frequency of which de-
pends on the go/return frequency value. The mixer is of SHP type.

All the IF and RF local oscillators are μP controlled.

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 (20dB, 1dB step for ODU
ASN).
The automatic adjustment is performed making use of an ATPC (see paragraph 9.5.1 ATPC operation for
details). The regulated output power is kept constant against amplifier stage gain variation by a feedback
including the AGC.

54
ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001
 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.

A particular setting of Tx and Rx RF oscillators allows to obtain a RF Loop, managed by Controller module.
The particular way used to perform the RF loop avoids the necessity to switch off the remote Transmitter.
RF Loop is available in AS ODU only.

9.5.1 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.29) 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 (ODU AS, 20dB only in ODU
ASN)

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

9.6 RX SECTION

The RF signal from the Rx bandpass filter is sent to a low noise amplifier that improves the receiver sen-
sitivity. The following down–converter translates the RF frequency to approximately 765 MHz. The conver-
sion mixer is SSB type. The sideband selection is given through a µP control.

A second down converter generates the 140 MHz IF carrier to be sent to the demodulator within the IDU.
The level of the IF carrier is kept constant to –5 dBm thank to the IF amplifier stages, AGC controlled,
distributed in the IF chain.

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.

9.7 1+1 Tx SYSTEM

The two ODUs are coupled to the antenna side via a balanced or unbalanced hybrid.

1+1 Tx switching occurs in the 1+1 hot stand–by 1 antenna or 2 antennas versions as shown in Fig.27 and
Fig.28.

The transmitter switchover is controlled by μProcessor and the attenuation of the stand-by transmitter is
at least 50 dB.

13.3 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Installation procedure proceeds according to the following steps:

• Version 1+0: installation onto the pole of the supporting plate 2

• Version 1+0: installation onto the pole of the support plate by Band-it
• Version 1+1: installation onto the pole of the supporting plate 2

• Installation of the ODU (common to both 1+0 and 1+1 version)

• ODU grounding

1+0 version – Installation onto the pole of the supporting plate

Fig.34 – Mount antislide strip around the pole. The position of the plastic blocks depends on the position
of the supporting plate (see next step)

Fig.35 – Adhere the supporting plate to the antisliding strip plastic blocks and then secure it to the pole
through the fixing bracket for 60–114 mm pole (see Fig.35). Bolts and nuts are available on the supporting
plate. Tightening torque must be 32 Nm.

Warning: As shown in Fig.36 an adapting kit must be used for the 219 mm pole. It consists of an additional
plate to enlarge the standard supporting plate dimension and relevant U–bolt for 219 mm pole fixing.

Fig.37 – Fix the flexible waveguide to the antenna side flange. Four fixing screws are available the dimen-
sions of which depend on the waveguide type. Tighten progressively and alternatively the four screws with
the following torque:

Tab.24 - Torques for tightening screws

Frequencies Screw Tool Torque

from 18 to 38 GHz Allen screw M3 Allen key 2.5 mm 1 Nm

up to 15 GHz Allen screw M4 Allen key 3 mm 2 Nm

Fig.37 – Fix the antenna side flange to the support with ODU fast locking mechanism. The flange can be
mounted horizontally (as shown in Fig.37) or vertically as function of convenience.

Fig.38 – Fix the support with ODU fast locking mechanism to the supporting plate making use of available
bolts and nuts. Fig.38 shows the possible positions. Tightening torque must be 18 Nm.

2 In case of 219 mm pole, an adapting kit is supplied for the purpose.

78
ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001
 1+0 version – Installation onto the pole of the supporting plate by Band-it

In case of 1+0 ODU installation, a Band-it pole mounting kit can be used: through slots (see Fig.39) on
the supporting plate two metallic bands secure the plate on the pole. Band characteristics are:

• thickness 0.76 mm

• width 19 mm.

It is also possible to use the anti-sliding system (optional).

1+1 version – Installation onto the pole of the supporting plate

Fig.34 – Mount antislide strip around the pole. The position of the plastic blocks depends on the position
of the supporting plate (see next step)

Fig.35 – Position the supporting plate to the antisliding strip plastic blocks and then secure it to the pole
through the fixing bracket for 60–114 mm pole (see Fig.35). Bolts and nuts are available on the supporting
plate kit. Tightening torque must be 32 Nm.

Fig.40 – Secure the hybrid with ODU fast locking mechanism to the supporting plate using bolt and nuts
available on the support plate. Tightening torque must be 18 Nm.
Remove the plastic cover from the hybrid flange sides.

Warning: Do not remove the foil from the hybrid flange sides.

Fig.40 – Fix the flexible waveguide to the antenna side flange. Four fixing screws are available the dimen-
sions of which depend on the waveguide type. Tighten progressively and alternatively the four screws with
the following torque:

Tab.25 - Torques for tightening screws

Frequencies Screw Tool Torque

from 18 to 38 GHz Allen screw M3 Allen key 2.5 mm 1 Nm

up to 15 GHz Allen screw M4 Allen key 3 mm 2 Nm

Warning: It is advisable to shape the waveguide flexible trunk, connecting ODU flange with antenna flange
as shown in Fig.43. This avoids possible condensate to be channelled towards the ODU flange.

Installation of the ODU

1 Remove the plastic cover from the ODU flange side. Apply silicon grease e.g. type RHODOSIL PATE
4 to the O–ring of Fig.42.
Warning: Do not remove the foil from the flange.

2 Bring the ODU with the two hands and position the ODU handle at the bottom side.

3 Position the ODU body close to the support with ODU fast locking mechanism and align ODU side
flange (see Fig.42) to antenna side flange (see Fig.37 – 1+0 version) or hybrid side flange (see
Fig.40 – 1+1 version).
Note: For 1+0 version the ODU can assume positions of Fig.41 depending on the polarisation.

4 With respect to the flange alignment, turn the ODU body approx. 30° anti–clockwise and then insert
the ODU body into the support and search for alignment between reference tooth on the support
(see Fig.37 – 1+0 version or Fig.40 – 1+1 version) and ODU body reference tooth (see detail Fig.42)

5 When alignment is achieved, turn the ODU body clockwise until “clack” is heard and the ODU rota-
tion stops.

6 Secure ODU body on the support by tightening bolts (1) (see Fig.37 – 1+0 version or Fig.40 – 1+1
version). Tightening torque must be 6 Nm.
Final assembly of 1+1 version is shown in Fig.43. A parasol mounting is optionally possible.

5 Secure ODU body on the support system by tightening bolts (1) of Fig.64.

15.5 ANTENNA AIMING

Antenna aiming for 1+0 version and 1+1 version is the same. The antenna aiming devices allow to perform
the following adjustments with respect to the starting aiming position:

- Horizontal ± 15° operating on the nut (3) shown in Fig.72, only after having loosen
the nuts (7), (8), (9), (10) of Fig.73.

- vertical ± 15° operating on vertical adjustment worm screw (2) shown in Fig.72
only after having loosen nuts (1), (2), (11) of Fig.73 and (4) and (5) of
Fig.72.
For adjustment from 0° to +30° extract nut (1) Fig.73 and position it in
hole (4), extract nut (2) Fig.73 and position it in hole (6). Operate on
vertical adjustment worm screw (2) after having loosen nuts (1), (2), (11) of
Fig.73 and (4) of Fig.72.
For adjustment from 0° to –30° extract nut (1) of Fig.73 and position it in
hole (3), extract nut (2) of Fig.73 and position it in hole (5). Operate on
vertical adjustment worm screw (2) after having loosen nuts (1), (2), (11) of
Fig.73 and (4) of Fig.72.

For vertical adjustment some markers, every 10°, are available on support.
The bigger marker gives 0° starting aiming position. Once the optimum aiming
position is obtained, tighten firmly the four nuts (1), (2), (11) of Fig.73 and
(4) and (5) of Fig.72 for vertical adjustment and the four nuts (7), (8), (9),
(10) of Fig.73 for horizontal adjustment. Tighten with 15 mm wrench and

Fig.77 – Bring the ODU with the two hands and position the ODU handle at the bottom side. The handle
can assume the positions shown in the figure depending on the polarization. Position the ODU body near
the support and align the wave guide of the ODU to the wave guide of the hybrid: respect to the position
of wave guide alignment, turn the ODU body approx. 30° counter–clockwise and then insert the ODU body
into the support. For 1+1 system the handle of the ODU is always positioned on the right. The polarization
twist disk on the hybrid matches the antenna polarization.

Fig.85 – When alignment of the reference teeth is achieved, turn the ODU body clockwise until the rotation
stops. In figure are shown ODUs final position.

Fig.78 – When ODU positioning is over, secure ODU body on the support by tightening bolts (use 17 mm
spanner, torque = 6 Nm).

LINE-UP

18 LINE–UP OF THE RADIO HOP

18.1 LINE–UP OF THE RADIO HOP

The line–up consists of the following steps:

• on site radio terminal installation (user connections and ODU installation as described in the rele-
vant chapters)

• equipment switch–on

• equipment configuration (through PC software)

• antenna alignment for maximum received RF signal level

• network element configuration

• check measurements.

Equipment installation is described in Section 3. INSTALLATION.

18.1.1 Equipment configuration

In order to have the link working properly, in the local and remote equipment the same parameters have
to be set:

• system layout (1+0, 1+1 hot stand-by, 1+1 frequency diversity.....) (Equipment - Configuration)

• ACM Engine (Equipment - Modulation&Capacity): during Line-up “ACM Engine” must be disable

• Bandwidth&Modulation (Equipment - Modulation&Capacity): during Line-up set the reference

Mod&Cap

• link ID (Equipment - General)

• RF channel (Equipment-Radio-Radio Branch1A/2A-Tx Frequency Selector)

ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001

157
 The software to run is Web LCT Console and Web LCT on Internet Explorer with Flash player.

You can download Web Lct Console program and Flash Player from http://www.siaemic.com.

Traffic (Baseband - Tributary)

Used tributaries must be enabled on local and on remote equipment.

18.1.2 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.97.

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

18.1.3 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.

For this purpose it is required to connect the PC, where the WEB LCT program has been installed, to the
network interfaces: this has to be done via USB cable or Ethernet cable.

Warning: the checks that follow require the knowledge of the program use.

Run the program and perform the connection to equipment by choosing from menu “Option” the connec-
tion made via USB cable.

Perform the login to the equipment by entering:

3
• Equipment IP address

• User ID (default: SYSTEM)

• Password: (default: siaemicr)

Proceed to program what above mentioned following this path:

• IP Address: select Port Configuration. Enter the required port addresses in the available communi-
cation ports.

• Routing Table and Default Gateway: select Routing table: add the routes and default gateway if nec-
essary.

Warning: the routing policy depends on the routing type: static IP/OSPF/IS–IS. The relevant rout-
ing rules must be normally given by network administrator.

• Remote Element Table: select Remote Element Table. Add station name. Add local equipment IP
address, add remote equipment IP address selecting Remote Link.

• Agent IP Address: select Equipment Properties. Assign the address in accordance to the address of
Ethernet port.

3 If the connection is made via USB cable, the IP address is automatically achieved.

158
ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001
 18.1.4 Few considerations about addresses

Here are listed few observation to follow during the address/netmask setup:

1 PPP connection (RS232 and LCT ports) - PC address can be selected among:

a Ethernet port address +1

b broadcast address -1

c a given address.

For a correct management, solutions b) and c) must be different than Ethernet port address.

2 PPP connection (RS232 and LCT ports) - if Unnumbered is used, the netmask relevant RS232 and
LCT ports must be equal or wider than the Ethernet port netmask

3 PPP connection (RS232 and LCT ports) - never assign network addresses to RS232 or LCT ports
(check that they are hosts).

18.1.5 Radio checks

It is advisable to perform the following measurements to check the correct operation of the radio hop:
• transmitted power

• received power

• RF frequency
• S/N measurement

All these checks make use of the WLC program.

• Transmitted power, received RF level, RF frequency

- run WLC program and then perform the connection to the equipment you want to check.

- on top of the window Tx/Rx power and frequency values are displayed. In case of Tx power and
frequency setup proceed to Branch 1/2 and Power/Frequencies submenus.
• S/N measurement

- Run WLC program and then perform the connection to the equipment you want to check.

- On the left side select S/N meas. 1 or S/N meas.2

In alternative it is possible to use the PRBS function if one or 2 Mbit/s line is free.

- Perform the S/N measurement and check that values comply with the requirements.

 20 LINE-UP FOR ETHERNET TRAFFIC

20.1 ALplus2 AND ALCplus2 LAN SETUP

This paragraph deals with line-up of ALplus2 LIM Ethernet and ALCplus2 IDU with details of WEB LCT pro-
gram related only to Ethernet application.

Differences between ALplus2 and ALCplus2 are pointed out.

Main difference is the number of LAN ports: three in ALplus2 and four in ALCplus2, moreover in ALplus2
the LAN2 port can manage POE functionality besides in ALCplus2 Sync Signal can be taken from LAN ports
also (see relevant paragraph).

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 ALplus2,
equipped with LIM module with Ethernet ports, is hereafter described:

• Local Lan-1 port to remote Lan-1 port connection Lan per port, see Fig.98

• from 3 ports to 3 ports connections and segregated traffic for Untagged Traffic, see Fig.106
• from 3 ports to 3 ports connections and segregated traffic for Tagged and Untagged Traffic, see
Fig.116.

Settings here below are intended to be done both into local and remote radio equipment. The software to
be used to configure the equipment is WEB LCT. In the following chapters all configuration steps are shown
using WEB LCT.

 Fig.99 - Modulation and capacity

Select 1+0 or 1+1 configuration according system requirements.

Please refer to Fig.99. First selection is channel bandwidth and modulation, in this example we selected
28MHz and 16QAM.

ACM Engine, Upper Modulation, Lower Modulation, Permanent Traffic and extra TDM Capacity at any mod-
ulation must be the same local and remote.

The troughput at any modulation with 28 MHz bandwidth is shown in Fig.100 with View Current Config but-
ton of Fig.99.

Fig.100 - View Current Configuration

So with 4QAMstrong modulation the Ethernet capacity is 20 Mbit/s and with 256QAM modulation the Eth-
ernet capacity is 140 Mbit/s.

 Fig.101 - Switch general settings

See Fig.101 for general settings of the switch. All the used ports must be Enabled, so enable Lan-1 and
Internal Port A, see Fig.102.

Please notice the MAC Address Aging Time reduced, only for this test at 15 sec.

The other ports should be disabled. The correct cable crossover arrangement must be selected too (see
Fig.102). Enable LLF, if needed, only at the end of link line up.

Select Master or Slave Role for 1000BaseT interface.

Switch connections are done with Lan per port selections. Referring to Fig.103, incoming traffic at Lan-1
exits at internal Port A and as in Fig.104 and in Fig.105 incoming traffic at internal Port A exits at Lan-1
port. This connection are done for all Untagged packets 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:

• "Fallback": if Tagged packets have their Vlan Id into Vlan Configuration Table they follow the con-
nection described into the table, otherwise they follow the Lan per port settings as Untagged pack-
ets

• "Secure": no Untagged packet transits; only Tagged packets with Vlan Id listed into the table can
transit.

For all previous configuration "Disable 802.1" should be selected. With Egress Mode as Unmodified the out-
going packets at Lan-1 port exit Untagged or Tagged exactly as they were Untagged or Tagged at the in-
coming port.

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

Lan-1 to Lan-1, connection must transfer untagged packets.

Lan-2 and Lan-3 have the same requirements. Please refer to Fig.106.

Select 1+0 or 1+1 configuration according system requirements.

Fig.107 - Modulation and capacity

Please refer to Fig.107. First selection is channel bandwidth and modulation, in this example we selected
28MHz and 16QAM.

ACM Engine, Upper Modulation, Lower Modulation, Permanent Traffic and extra TDM Capacity at any mod-
ulation must be the same local and remote.
The troughput at any modulation with 28 MHz bandwidth is shown in Fig.108 with View Current Config but-
ton of Fig.107.

So with 4QAMstrong modulation the Ethernet capacity is 20 Mbit/s and with 256QAM modulation the Eth-
ernet capacity is 140 Mbit/s.

Fig.109 - Switch general settings

See Fig.109 for Switch general settings of the switch. All the used ports must be Enabled, so enable Lan-
1, Lan-2, Lan-3 and Internal Port, see Fig.110.

Please notice the MAC Address Aging Time reduced, only for this test, at 15 sec. The correct cable crossover
arrangement must be selected too (see Fig.110). Enable LLF if needed only at the end of link line up.

Select Master or Slave Role for 1000BaseT interface.

For Untagged traffic, connections are done with Lan per port selections. Referring to Fig.111 incoming traf-
fic at Lan-1 exits at internal Port A and into Fig.114 incoming traffic at internal Port A exits at Lan-1 port.

ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001

 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:

• "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 con-
nection described into the table, otherwise they follow the Lan per port settings as Untagged pack-
ets

• "Secure": no Untagged packet transits; only Tagged packets with Vlan Id listed into the table can
transit.

Fig.110 - Lan-1 interface settings

All the used ports must be Enabled.

The correct Cable Crossover arrangement must be selected too.

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.

Each port of the switch must be associated with a different Default VLAN ID, Lan-1 with Default VID 4001,
Lan-2 with Default VID 4002, Lan-3 with Default VID 4003, for Lan-1 see Fig.110 and Fig.111.

Untagged packets coming at physical ports are tagged on common radio channel but tagged with different
Vlans. At receiving end packets are distributed at their ports and untagged.

Vlan Configuration Table will be defined in order to group traffic from Lan-1, Lan-2, Lan-3 to Port A.

The Vlan Configuration Table must be programmed as in Fig.115.

MAINTENANCE

22 ALARMS AND TROUBLESHOOTING OF ALPLUS2

22.1 GENERAL

In these pages a description of alarms is given in order to help operators to perform equipment trouble-
shooting.

22.2 FAULTY CONDITION

A faulty condition is pointed out by LEDs on front panel (alarm area) or by alarms reported by management
software. Power ON LEDs are not considered (equipment are ON).

22.2.1 Front panel LEDs

ALplus2

• FAIL: controller self test failed (red LED)

• PoE: Power Over Ethernet enabled (green LED)

• URG: critical and/or major alarms (red LED)

• NURG: minor and/or warning alarms (red LED)

• SW: firmware mismatch (red LED)

• TEST: local manual operation active (yellow LED).

ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001

191
 ALCplus2

• FAIL: controller self test failed (red LED)

• URG: critical and/or major alarms (red LED)

• NURG: minor and/or warning alarms (red LED)

• SW: firmware mismatch (red LED)

• TEST: local manual operation active (yellow LED).

22.2.2 SCT/WEBLCT alarm window

SCT

Active and old alarms can be monitored in Event History Log area, with alarm correlation between starting
and clearing time. Alarms are from all the equipment reached by SCT.

Active alarms only, can be monitored in Current Alarms window. Alarms are from selected equipment only.

WEBLCT

In Event List area of WEBLCT all alarms are listed, local ones on the left, remote ones on the right (.... if
Remote List is well configured).

Moving the mouse over an alarm, its starting time, severity and group information are pointed out. There
is correlation between starting and clearing time.

22.2.3 Direction of an alarm

When an alarm occurs, its origin can be hardware or can be a problem caused by failures or a bad situation
(propagation and/or configuration mismatch) in previous parts of the equipment: an alarm can be caused
by previous alarms and, not only, the same alarm can produce further alarms.

In this way, it/s important to understand the direction of the problem described by alarms.

Tx direction, from LIM to ODU flange

A problem in LIM can cause alarms in ODU also: when a situation of more alarms is occurring, the most
significant alarm is at the beginning of Tx chain, all the others following are due to this.

Rx direction, from ODU flange to LIM

A problem in ODU, or in far end terminal, can cause alarms in LIM also: when a situation of more alarms
is occurring, the most significant alarm is at the beginning of Rx chain, all the others following are due to
this.

22.2.4 Alarms group

Alarms are divided in groups regarding the module that has generated them or the described function.

PROGRAMMING AND SUPERVI-
SION

23 PROGRAMMING AND SUPERVISION

23.1 GENERAL

The radio equipment was designed to be easily programmed and supervised.

The following tools are implemented to the purpose:

• SCT Subnetwork Craft Terminal + WEB LCT Local Craft Terminal. They are used for remote and local
control of a subnetwork consisted of a maximum of 100 radio equipment.

• NMS5–UX Network Management. It is used for the remote control of an entire network consisted of
different SIAE equipment including radio equipment.

For details refer to relevant documentation. SCT/LCT documentation is available as help on–line.

23.2 WEBLCT

Equipment can be locally controlled by an embedded Web Server, the WEB LCT, and an http browser run-
ning on PC.

It is also available a software named SCT that can manage sub networks of SIAE Network Elements.

The hardware platform used by SCT is based on Personal Computer with at least the following character-
istics:

• HD with 100 Mbyte of free space

• Windows XP/Windows Vista

• Flash Player version 8.1 or higher

ALS - ALplus2, ALCplus2 - MN.00224.E - 001

201
 Fault Management

The operator can check the status the equipment through an "Alarm Display Panel" that is automatically
updated by the system.

Alarm records are stored by the equipment in an history log together with all information which could be
of interest for the user, among which:

• event occurrence date and time

• equipment type and address

• unit identification information

• alarm description

• event severity level

The operator can access the history log using different filters.

Equipment Configuration

The configuration parameters the operator can update from the WebLCT are:

• System type (protected or not protected)

• Channel bandwidth

• ACM profiles

• RF channel

• ATPC enable/disable

• ATPC Rx thresholds

• RTPC

• Rx power alarm threshold

• Tributary port enable/disable

• STM-1, VC4 and VC12 parameters

• E1 cross connection matrix

• Ethernet switch parameters

• Synchronisation parameters

• Alarm enable

• Alarm severity

• User inputs and relay configuration

• TMN port configuration

Equipment Maintenance

The main maintenance parameters that the operator can update from the WebLCT are:
• transmitter enable/disable

• carrier only

• loops4 (see Fig.137)

• active state forcing in 1+1 configuration

• PRBS

The following figure shows the loops that can be set from the WEBLCT, for any IDU configuration.

4 Line loops can be done for E1, STM-1 and Ethernet interfaces. Internal loops can be done for E1 and
STM-1 interfaces.

Software management

A new firmware or a new WEBLCT release can be downloaded from the WEBLCT itself. Actual software re-
lease is reported to the operator.

Performance management

G828, Rx Power, Tx Power and ACM counters are calculated both on radio side and line side

All counters are available on 15 minutes basis and daily, the WEBLCT collects 16 blocks of 15 minutes
counters showing in this way the history of 4 hours.
The user can Start and Stop the Performance Monitoring function.

The user can define a threshold for each counter, when the threshold is crossed an alarm is set by the
equipment, the performance alarm severity can be set by the operator.

Fig.138 reports all the Termination points for the performance monitoring supported by ALplus2.

 In addition to what shown in the figure above, the following performance monitoring features are available:

• RMON for Ethernet port statistics, both on tributary and radio side

• ACM performance monitoring counters

Security Management

The WEBLCT Administrator creates and manages a set of user accounts, the security information (Pass-
word and User profile) is used for identification, authentication purpose.

Two operator levels are enabled depending on the profile assigned to the operator:

• full privilege level allows the operator to perform all the available options.

• partial privilege level allows the operator to read alarm and configuration parameters and mainte-
nance commands (e.g. force switch over in 1+1 systems).

 26 COMPOSITION OF OUTDOOR UNIT

26.1 GENERAL

The ODU consists of a mechanical structure that houses all the transceiver circuitry. In 1+1 HSB version
the connection to the antenna is performed through a passive hybrid.

Both transceiver and hybrid are offered in different versions depending on the operating bands, the anten-
na configuration etc...

A label (see Fig.158) attached on the ODU structure shows the most significant parameters as go/return
frequency value, subband, operating band and part number.

Part number identifies the ODU type. ODU description in the following tables shows frequency, go-return,
channel and capacity if specified.

For example:

• ODU AS 11/530 ITU CH9L 2xSTM1 means:

ODU 11 GHz band frequency, 530 MHz go-return, CH9 Low fixed preset, 2xSTM1 capacity
• ODU AS 23/1008 SB 2H means:
ODU 23 GHz band frequency, 1008 MHz go-return, 2 high subband.

In Tab.45 and Tab.46 various ODU versions and hybrid part number are listed.

Part number, hardware layout and equipment composition are subject to change without notice.
