1.5 Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)

All waste electrical and electronic products must be disposed of separately from the

municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the governmentor the local authorities. The WEEE label (see Figure 1) is applied to all such devices.

Figure 1 WEEE label

The correct disposal and separate collection of waste equipment will help prevent poten-

tial negative consequences for the environment and human health. It is a preconditionfor reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.

Keys to be pressed simultaneously are concatenated with a “+”

sign, for example [CTRL]+[ALT]+[DEL].

Keys to be pressed one after another are concatenated with

spaces, for example [ESC] [SPACE] [M]

> The greater than symbol “>” is used to concatenate a series of

GUI items in order to depict a GUI path. This is an abridged pre-

sentation of a procedure to be carried out in order to perform an

f WARNING!

RF Energy Exposure Limits and Applicable Rules for 6-38 GHz. It is recommended that

for each radio equipment deployment site the radio equipment operator refers to the RF

exposure rules and precaution for each frequency band and to all other applicable rulesand precautions with respect to transmitters, facilities, and operations that may affect

the environment due to the RF emissions.

Appropriate warning signs must be properly placed and affixed at the equipment site and

access entries.

1.7.2 Protection against Lightning

Article 810 of the US National Electric Department of Energy Handbook 1996 specifies

that radio and television lead-in cables must have adequate surge protection at or near

the point of entry to the building. The code specifies that any shielded cable from an

external antenna must have the shield directly connected to a 10 AWG wire that

connects to the building ground electrode.

Do not turn on power before reading product documentation. This device has a -48 VDC

direct current input.

1.7.3 Protection from RF Burns

It is dangerous to stare into or stand in front of an active antenna aperture. Do not stand

in front of or look into an antenna without first ensuring that the associated transmitter

or transmitters are switched off. Do not stare into the waveguide port of an ODU (if appli-

cable) when the radio is active.

1.7.4 Warning – Turn off all power before servicing

f

WARNING!

Turn off all power before servicing.

Operate and MaintainAlarm management

3 Alarm managementThe Alarms menu allows checking the status of the equipment alarms and detecting the

cause of a possible wrong operation.

The failure and the failure processing are differentiated in 3 failure classes:

• communication problems related to the payload and the traffic management (FUNC-

TIONAL ALARMS)

• problems related to software (SOFTWARE ALARMS)

• equipment failures (WHOLE SYSTEM ALARMS)

Any alarm message (raised or cleared alarm) is saved in an alarm log in order to provide

an alarm history. Furthermore a list of current alarms is always available and is updated

according to the changes in the NE.

3.1 Alarms SeverityFive severity levels are foreseen in order to classify the alarms:

• Critical: indicates that a service affecting condition has occurred (loss of traffic) and

an immediate corrective action is required on ODU (e.g. unit substitution); all

Physical alarms have critical severity.

• Major : indicates that a service affecting condition has developed (high risk of loss of

traffic) and an urgent corrective action is required. Such a severity can be reported,

for example, when there is a severe degradation of the functionality of the managed

ODU and its full capability should be restored.

• Minor : indicates the existence of a non-service affecting fault condition and that cor-

rective action should be taken in order to prevent a more serious (for example,

service affecting) fault. Such a severity can be also reported when the detected

alarm condition is not currently degrading the functionality of the managed ODU.

• Warning: indicates the detection of a potential or impending service affecting fault,

before any significant effects have been felt. Action should be taken to further

diagnose (if necessary) and correct the problem in order to prevent it from becoming

a more serious service-affecting fault.

• Indeterminate: indicates that the severity level has not been assigned. Test alarms

always belong to this category.

4.1 Loopbacks

The available loopbacks are:

• LL1: used to test cable connectivity. LL1 can be enabled for a time T (user configu-

rable with granularity in seconds), before being automatically disabled by µP.

• LL2: RF loopback.

• RL1: used to remotely test the whole chain.

Figure 13 FlexiPacket Radio loopbacks

Not more than one loopback can be enabled at a given time. When a loopback is

enabled, the system moves to a "test mode" configuration designed for transmitting backtraffic.



24 A25000-A0600-D019-01-76P1


Operate and MaintainTest Functions

The differences between the test and the normal are in the L2 switch configuration.

When operating in test mode the auto-learning and filtering functions are disabled; the

MAC forwarding table is flushed.

During the entire duration of the loopback the FlexiPacket Radio is not reachable for management. Moreover after loopback has been performed, a file becomes available

containing the result of the counters.

4.1.1 Local loopback (LL1)

Check the cable connectivity by using the local loopback.

Steps



26 A25000-A0600-D019-01-76P1



4.1.2 RF loopback (LL2)

Check the correct operation of the station by using the RF loopback.

Once enabled the FlexiPacket Radio declares the "test mode"; during loopback test the

µP is not reachable from local GbE cable and supervision is lost.

The system will save the actual configuration for the involved elements (switch, modem,

etc…) for being restored once the procedure is finished.

Test packets are generated by the µP.

The procedure terminates after a configurable time T (default = 10 seconds). Once the

previous system configuration is restored, the result of the loopback test is reported and

a detailed report file (.xml format) is available.

4.1.3 Remote loopback (RL1)

Remotely test the radio link by using the remote loopback.

Remote test procedure extends local self-test procedure over the radio link. The proce-

dure here described assumes the LCT being able to access both local and remote Flex-

iPacket Radio. No User traffic is required to be supported whilst remote test procedure

is ongoing. Test packets are generated by the µP.

The system will save the actual configuration for the involved elements (switch, modem,

etc…) for being restored once the procedure is finished.

The procedure terminates after a configurable time T (default = 10 seconds). Once the

previous system configuration is restored, the result of the loopback test is reported and

Operate and MaintainPerformance management

6 Performance managementThe basic requirement for performance monitoring is the ability to detect errors and

failures while a radio link is in service. For this purpose, block error monitors are defined

inside the Radio frame.

Two types of performance are available:

• ACM Performance

• RSPI Performance

The system foresees two measuring intervals for the performance data:

• interval of quarters of an hour

• interval of 24 hours.

The performance windows display the counting of the performance for the current quar-

ter/day and for the previous 16 quarters and four days.

The time measuring unit is the second. The measurement of the quarter of an hour has

the tolerance of ±1 second; the measurement of the 24 hours has the tolerance of

approximately 10 seconds. It is necessary to consider that it can be present a displace-

ment of the measurements due to the tolerance of the quarzs equipped into the different

units. The inner time reference is provided by the Controller. Usually, it is enabled, for

the NE, the network synchronization. However, the user can set manually the date and

time.

The Suspect Period column, present for each record, allows the identification of the

intervals into which there have been conditions such as to consider the measured per-

formance as suspect and then not correct (maintenance operations, manual forcing

etc.).

6.1 ACM Performance

The ACM performance menu shows the total number of seconds, during which the

Radio link in Tx side (or in Rx side), a specific modulation profile has been used.

The modem profiles are:

• Profile 1: 4 QAM




• Profile 5: 256 QAM• Profile 6: not implemented

• Profile 7: not implemented

6.1.1 Displaying of the ACM Parameters

6.2 RSPI Performance

Basic definitions

RSPI (Radio Section Physical Interface) performances are parameters allowing esti-mates and statistics on the RF transmission.

The parameters are reported in table.

It is possible to set up to 4 different thresholds for the RF Rx power (RLT Thresholds)

and 2 threshold for the RF Tx (TLT Thresholds).

The TLT parameters can be applied only if the ATPC management is implemented on

the equipment.

6.2.1 Setting of the RSPI Parameters

Open the performance setting window following the path in figure.

The Performance Setting window allows setting the values of the measurement of the

RSPI performance (steps 1 and 2).
