9500 MPR9500 MPR--AA

Product Family

M = Microwave

P = Packet

R = Radio

A = ANSI

Means radioproduct

5 for Radio Cross-Connect






1.2 9500 MPR Introduction

The 9500 MPR:provides smooth transition of backhaul networks from TDM to IPefficiently transports multimedia traffic since it handles packets natively, while still supporting legacy TDM DS1/DS3 trafficcovers the frequency range from 6-38 GHz

6-38 GHz using the MOD300 Radio Interface (MOD300) card and Outdoor Unit 300 (ODU300)5.8-11 GHz using the Ethernet Access Switch (EAS/P8ETH) and Microwave Packet Transport-Long Haul (MPT-HL) transceiverUsing the Microwave Packet Transport Access (MPTACC) and Microwave Packet Transport-High Capacity (MPT-HC)

covers the 80 GHz frequency range using the MPT-GC (71-76 and 81-86 GHz)supports up to 16 RF links for operation on the same or different frequency bands:

up to 6 using the MOD300 and ODU300up to 12 using the EAS/P8ETH and MPT-HL Transceiverup to 12 using the MPTACC and MPT-HC. Each MPTACC supports up to 2 MPT-HCs.up to 16 using a combination of up to 6 MOD300/ODU300s, up to 12 MPT-HL Transceivers, and up to 12 MPTACC/MPT-HCs.

provides up to 16 Gb/s packet switching which creates flexible aggregate capacity sharing across DS1, DS3 and Ethernet traffic300 Mbps full-duplex Ethernet transport capacity






1.3 MPR Family






1.4 MPR Family Hardware






1.5 Product Advantages - Multiservice Aggregation Layer

Multiservice aggregation layer

The capacity to use Ethernet as a common transmission layer to transport any kind of traffic, independently by the type of interface. Ethernet becomes the convergence layer.

9500 MPR-A aggregates and carries over a COMMON PACKET LAYER: TDM 2G, 3G and IP/Ethernet. This allows sharing of common packet transmission infrastructures, regardless of the nature of carried traffic.

Due to the nature of Ethernet, each service can be discriminated based on several parameters like quality of service.

Mapping different access technologies over Ethernet is achieved by standardized protocols like circuit emulation and pseudo-wire.

R99 - original standard for UMTS WCDMA based networks

HSDPA (High Speed Data Packet Access) - add on to R99/UMTS networks which adds a shared high speed downlink packet channel

ISAM (Indexed Sequential Access Method) - a method for indexing data for fast retrieval

WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) - telecommunications protocol that provides fixed and mobile Internet access






1.6 Product Advantages - Service Awareness

Service awareness

Traffic handling and quality management, queuing traffic according to the type of service assigned, independently by the type of interface.

Service awareness means the ability to discriminate the different traffic types carried over the converged Ethernet stream. The traffic flow can be composed by DS1, DS3, and/or IP/Eth, coming from different sources, and therefore having different requirements.

For instance DS1 traffic from a 3G base stations can carry voice (high priority, real time service) and data (lower priority and possibly non real time with high variability load, such as internet browsing, music download or video streaming).

Service awareness is what allows identifying the traffic types, and in case of the non real time variable bit rate one, optimize the band with overbooking of the radio scarce resource.

PWE3 - Pseudowire emulation edge to edge






1.7 Product Advantages - Packet Node

Packet nodeThe 9500 MPR offers a packet-based Microwave Service Switch (MSS) with a 10 Gigabit backplane to interconnect short-haul and long-haul radio transceivers into a multidirectional, multi-reach packet node that functions as a single network element.

The MSS can also provide Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) and metallic uplinks.

Packets can be transported over Ethernet or PDH in any direction, avoiding service aggregation bottlenecks in terms of capacity, service types and interface types.






1.8 Product Advantages - Service-driven Adaptive Modulation

Service-driven adaptive modulationFully exploit the air bandwidth in its entirety by changing modulation scheme according to the propagation

availability and allocate transport capacity, discriminating traffic by different services, only possible in a packet based environment.

Traffic with high priority will always have bandwidth available, like voice (deterministic approach).

Broadband traffic is discriminated by Quality of Service (QoS) dynamically, with modulation scheme changes driven by propagation conditions.






1.9 Radio Link Aggregation

Radio LAG is supported on the ODU300, MPT-HC, and MPT-HL, and groups a set of ports so that two network nodes can be interconnected using multiple links to increase link capacity and availability between them.

When aggregated, two or more physical links operate as a single logical link. Traffic capacity is the sum of the individual link capacities.

This doubling, tripling or quadrupling of capacity is relevant where more capacity is required than can be provided on one physical link.

Link aggregation also provides redundancy between aggregated links. If a link fails, its traffic is redirected onto the remaining link, or links.

Radio link aggregation supports the following services:

TDM2TDMTDM2ETHEthernet services

ASAP Alarm Severity Assignment Profile






1.9 Radio Link Aggregation [cont.]

Radio LAG size is restricted to the following:up to three Radio LAG ports per NEup to six MOD300/ODU300 ports per Radio LAG portup to six MPT-HC ports per Radio LAG portup to four MPT-HL ports per Radio LAG port

TMN inband should be cross-connected with only one radio interface of a radio LAG port

To add a radio port to a Radio LAG port, the radio port must not be provisioned as a member to any of the following:cross-connectionVLANport segregationPPP RF enabled on the radio channel






1.10 Cross-Polarized Interference Cancellation (XPIC)

Cross-Polarized Interference Cancellation (XPIC) provides the ability to operate two links on the same radio channel frequency, one usingvertical polarization and the other using horizontal polarization. Supported on the MPT-HC only

XPIC typically provides 20 dB improvement in polarization discrimination. The actual improvement depends on the native discrimination provided by the antenna alignment and any reduction of this discrimination caused by atmospheric effects (fading)

XPIC supports the following radio configurations:Single 2x(1+0) XPICDouble 2x(1+1) HSB co-channel XPIC4x(1+0) XPIC

XPIC supports the following:Frequency: L6, U6, 7, 8, 11, 15, 18, and 23 GHzModulation: 128 and 256 QAMRadio channel spacing: 30, 40, and 50 MHz






1.11 Quality of Service

The Quality of Service (QoS) feature assigns the priority for Ethernet packets according to the selected QoS mode. See Figure 6-9 for an overview of the QoS implementationQoS provides eight internal queues to support different traffic priorities. The QoS function assigns Ethernet packets to one of the eight egress traffic queuesQoS classification determines the method the system uses to assign packet priorityQoS classification criterion is assigned at the NE level and applied to all radio and Ethernet portsThe system supports the following QoS classification modes:

The 9500 MPR supports MEF8 structured agnostic emulation TDM services. The MEF8 (Metro Ethernet Forum) Processing Block receives a bit stream from the DS3 interface and performs the following functions:

Packetizes the incoming data to a pre-determined payload size

Encapsulates the payload into a packet format specified by the MEF8 standard for the emulated data type. Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) and Circuit Emulation Services (CES) Control Word headers are added.

CES is a bi-directional service consisting of 2 symmetrical data flows in opposite directions. For each direction of the emulated circuit, there is a pair of CES interworking functions (IWF). A Metro Ethernet Network (MEN)-bounds Ethernet frames and forwards them into the network. The corresponding TDM-bound IWF extracts the TDM data from the Ethernet frames and recreates the TDM service.

The CSM-E/Core-E consists of microprocessor and Ethernet switch circuits. The Ethernet Switch provides a Quality of Service (QOS) mechanism to control all streams.

If QoS is disabled, all traffic inside the switch has the same priority. This means that for each switch port there is only one queue, first in, first out (FIFO)

Three QoS settings in GUI are available as follows:

Disabled

802.1 priorities are set based on IEEE 802.1D-2004 Annex G User Priorities and Traffic Classes that defines seven traffic types and corresponding user priority values.

DiffServ priorities are based on one of eight tags, each identifying one of eight traffic types and corresponding user priority values.

This configuration requires one frequency and one antenna.

Each MPT-HL Transceiver receives a signal from the antenna through a coupler.

Each MPT-HL Transceiver provides a transmit signal to a transmit relay switch.

The transmit relay will select one of the MPT-HL Transceivers as the source of the transmit signal sent to the coupler. The transmit relay is controlled by a General Purpose I/O (GPIO) pin on the spare MPT-HL Transceiver.

The transmit relay will default to the main instance if the spare is down.

Space Diversity

Space Diversity configuration requires one frequency and two antennas.

Each MPT-HL Transceiver receives a signal from a dedicated antenna.

Only one of the antennas is used for transmission.

Each MPT-HL Transceiver provides a transmit signal to a transmit relay switch.

The transmit relay selects one of the MPT-HL Transceivers as the source of the transmit signal sent to themain antenna.

The transmit relay is controlled by a GPIO pin on the spare MPT-HL Transceiver.

The transmit relay defaults to the main instance if the spare is down.

By spacing the two antennas a few wavelengths apart, the two MPT-HL Transceivers will experience uncorrelated fading and can switch between the received signals in a hitless manner to provide a greater degree of availability over the radio link.



1+1 Frequency Diversity

Frequency Diversity configuration requires two frequencies and one antenna.

Each MPT-HL Transceiver receives a signal from the same antenna.

Each MPT-HL Transceiver provides a transmit signal to the same antenna.

Frequency Diversity transmits two different frequencies and receives two different frequencies from the remote-radio. It will select the best signal received.

Frequency Diversity relies on the fact that fading is different at different frequencies:

The transmit relay will select one of the MPT-HL Transceivers as the source of the transmit signal sent to the main antenna.

By using different frequencies, the two MPT-HL Transceivers will experience uncorrelated fading and can switch between the received signals in a hitless manner to provide a greater degree of availability over the radio link.

The ODU300 includes a waveguide antenna port, Type-N female connector for the ODU cable, BNC female connector (with captive protection cap) for RSSI access, and a grounding stud.

The ODUs are designed for direct antenna attachment via a mounting collar supplied with the antenna.

ODU polarization is determined by the position of a polarization rotator fitted within the mounting collar.

A remote ODU mounting kit is available as an option. These may be used to connect an ODU to a standard antenna, or to a dual-polarized antenna for co-channel link operation.

ODUs are fixed for Tx High or Tx Low operation.

Where two ODUs are to be connected to a single antenna for hot-standby or frequency diversity configurations, a direct-mounting coupler is used.

ODUs are frequency-band specific, but within each band are capacity-independent up to their design maximums.



The ODU mounts directly to an Antenna: Non-protected.



RF couplers are available for equal or unequal loss operation:

• Equal loss is nominally 3 dB

• Unequal loss is nominally 1/10 dB.

Discovery of local NE by Network Element Overview (NEtO)

A simple two-way hand shake discovery protocol is implemented between NEtO application and local connected NEs. Local connected Network Element (NE) means NE connected to NEtO using Local Ethernet Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) port through a point-to-point Ethernet cable or Ethernet network. In any case the NE and NEtO belong to the same IP subnet.

The discovery protocol made the following information available to NEtO regarding the local connected NE:

Local IP Address

NE Type

NE Version

NE Site Name

Selecting the NE, NEtO can automatically start the supervision without the need to provision the Local IP address manually.

external clock (Sync-In Port) from customer provided equipment

The slave radios can be provisioned to receive the sync clock from one of two sources:

clock recovered by the radio receiver (Radio Port)

sync clock from another radio in the network (Sync-In Port)

Normally at a repeater, the sync clock is received over the RF path and recovered by the radio receiver.

A typical slave terminal uses the clock from an adjacent radio.

Sync Switching A revertive switching feature is a provisioning option that restores the sync clock to the original source when the alarm on the primary source is cleared.

If revertive switching is not selected, the secondary sync source will continue to provide sync clock, and if the secondary source fails, must be manually switched to the primary source.

Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC)

If (automatic) ATPC is enabled the screen will replace (static) RTPC fields with ATPC fields.

When Rx power is equal to low remote ATPC Rx Threshold the ATPC algorithm starts to operate.

ATPC must be off to perform Fade Margin tests.

The ATPC function automatically increases or decreases the transmit output power upon request from the opposite terminal. The opposite terminal constantly monitors Receive Signal Level (RSL), receive signal quality, and aggregate Bit Error Rate (BER) of the receive signal.

When ATPC is enabled, the transmit output will remain at it's lowest level until a fade occurs (or a receive circuit alarm is detected). When the change in RSL is detected at the receive end, a command is sent to the transmit end to increase power in 1 dB steps to it's highest level. After fade is over, the receive end commands transmit power to decrease in 1 dB steps to the lowest level.

The ATPC range (high and low limits) is variable, determined by link distance, link location, and link frequency. When ATPC Enabled is checked, the range values are shown in parenthesis (minimum -maximum) following ATPC Range.

When ATPC is not enabled the transmit output will always operate at it's highest level.

Remote Transmit Power Control (RTPC) allowed transmitted power range.

Static Routing

Usually used at radio WAN border routers to specify a default gateway to:

use for reaching external networks when the external network does not use a supported dynamic routing protocol.

control the exchange of dynamic route information between the radio WAN and the external network.

Static routing only supports provisioning a single route to a given destination at any radio. Route metrics and redundant routes are not supported. This limits the useful WAN topologies to linear and tree configurations when using Static Routing.






8.6 Network Configuration - OSPF Area Configuration

Select Configuration>Network Configuration>IP Configuration>OSFP Area Configuration

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)

The preferred method for routing within the radio WANs.

Uses a simplified OSPF implementation.

Configuration requires only an Area ID and Mask.

Supports redundant WAN paths, allowing linear, tree, ring, mesh and other WAN topologies. If redundant paths are available, OSPF can reconfigure routes to work around a failed link.

Dynamically assigns a routing metric to redundant paths based on route cost, where the route cost is determined by the speed of the interface used and the hop count to a destination.

Supports a maximum of 250 routes within a single OSPF area.

Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP) switching is a protection mechanism for Ethernet ring topologies.

An ERP topology is a collection of Ethernet Ring Nodes forming a closed physical loop. A minimum of two and maximum of sixteen Ethernet Ring Nodes are supported per ERP topology. One ERP topology is supported per NE.

The fundamentals of ring protection switching architectures are loop avoidance and the utilization of learning, forwarding, and address table management.

Up to two ERP instances are supported per ERP topology.

Ethernet Ring Links connect two adjacent Ethernet Ring Nodes participating in the same ERP Topology.

The Ethernet port used to construct the Ethernet Ring Link is called a Ring Port.

Click to switch NE management via the Craft Terminal

The NE can be managed by the OS or by the Craft Terminal. To control the choice of the OS or the CT, a Local Access Control (LAC) is available.If the LAC is “access denied”, it means that the OS manages the NE and the CT is not allowed to modify the NE configuration (it can only «read»). In the view, the icon with a key symbol has a circular shape.If the LAC is “granted”, it means that the CT is allowed to manage the NE. In the view, the icon with a key symbol has a rectangular shape. If the LAC is “requested”, it means that the CT has requested a permission from the OS and is waiting for a replay.

However, the OS does continue to provide a certain number of services. These services include:Alarm reception and processingPerformance processingSwitching back to the OS access state

Select the Supervision pull down menu. Then select the Requested option from the Access State cascading menu.

If the OS does not answer in a predefined time, it is assumed that the NE is in the Craft access state and can be managed by a Craft Terminal.The key symbol icon on the management states of the NE view indicates whether the NE is managed by a craft terminal or by the OS.Local Craft Terminal access is denied on recovery phase after a loss of communication of the NE. When the communication with the NE is lost, the OS automatically recovers the communication and forces the state existing before the loss of communication (therefore, Craft Terminal access can be denied or granted).

TDMoEth is a system that is used to transport TDM and Ethernet traffic through Ethernet.

TDMoEth provides:

Transparency of signaling protocols (CAS, PRI, SS7, …)

Investment Protection – migration to IP without compromising rich PBX features (evolutionary approach with no fork-lift upgrades)

Channel aggregation and multiplexing that improves resiliency to packet loss

Maintains clock synchronization and Low Latency

There is not a way to directly provision the TDM2TDMoEth mode. TDM2TDMoEth is a way of using the 9500 MPR. Just provision the TDM2TDM to a Ethernet port.

6.5 Inband TMN VLAN

Inband TMN VLAN port allows the user to manage an 9500 MPR-A NE using a general Ethernet port from a central location (NOC).

Inband TMN messages reach the 9500 MPR-A over general user electrical Ethernet port 3 and optical Ethernet port 5 on the CSM-E/Core-E card.

Either electrical Ethernet port 3 or optical Ethernet port 5 can be used simultaneously for both general Ethernet traffic and TMN traffic.

Inband TMN provisioning applies to both electrical Ethernet port 3 andoptical Ethernet port 5.

TMN Inband TMN VLAN port interface and Port#4 TMN Ethernet interface should not be connected to a network at the same time.

The Inband TMN Ethernet interface:requires its own IP address and sub-network maskuses the same MAC address as Port#4 TMN Ethernet interfacedoes not require Port#4 TMN Ethernet interface to be provisionedrequires a unique VLAN ID (2-4080)

An optional OSPF area can be assigned, and must be provisioned prior to provisioning the Inband TMN Ethernet interface. Supports IP static routing.

This is another method of monitoring alarms.

6.6 Static Routing

Usually used at radio WAN border routers to specify a default gateway to:use for reaching external networks when the external network does not use a supported dynamic routing protocol.control the exchange of dynamic route information between the radio WAN and the external network.

Static routing only supports provisioning a single route to a given destination at any radio. Route metrics and redundant routes are not supported. This limits the useful WAN topologies to linear and tree configurations when using Static Routing.

Maximum of 25 static route entries per radio.To minimize the number of static route entries required, the radio network addressing plan should allow for maximum route aggregation.Static routes directed out the PPP interfaces use the interface name as the route destination; rf, rptr, or (front) ppp.

Cross-connections are nailed-up connections. Cross-connections are not required for the Ethernet switch to pass traffic. Even if your Cross-connection screen does not show any connections you may still have traffic across your Ethernet switch.

Layer 2 Switching

An address table is built based on incoming MAC address.

If the address is not known the frames are sent to all ports.

If the address is in the table, frames are only sent to the correct port.

When provisioning multiple radio links on the same path use port segregation to avoid any Ethernet loops.

Double-click on the promiscuous port. Uncheck all ports to be segregated. Select OK then Apply.

This option sets the segregation state to exclude the port from exchanging frames with a given list of ports.

In this way a segregated port can exchange frames only with a non-segregated port.

Port segregation is used to:

save bandwidth (prevent collisions and broadcasts)

save resources on the node and on the ports

improve the security and the privacy of the transmission

Click Apply6

The switch ports in a private VLAN domain have special characteristics. One key characteristic is port segregation within an isolated VLAN.

Isolated or segregated ports are typically used for those endpoints that only require access to a limited number of outgoing interfaces.

An endpoint connected to an isolated port will only possess the ability to communicate with those endpoints connected to promiscuous ports.

Endpoints connected to adjacent isolated ports cannot communicate with one another.

If you attempt to setup a cross-connection between ports that have been segregated, you will get a warning that the port is segregated.

Press Alt-W. Notice the screens are different if any ports are segregated.

9 P2P VLAN Cross-Connections







9.1 P2P VLAN Cross-Connections

More than one cross-connection can be drawn if sufficient ports are configured

Cross-connections describe path to use.Segregation describes path not to use.

Each cross-connection must be identified with a separate flow IDThe Point to Point (P2P) VLAN cross-connect allows the user to direct

VLAN-tagged traffic between specified Ethernet and radio portsP2P VLAN must have a MAC Address of 000000000000

Nailed up cross-connections use a physical MAC Address of the device attached to the NE.

Point to Point VLANThe Point to Point (P2P) VLAN cross-connect feature allows the user to direct VLAN-tagged traffic between

specified Ethernet and radio ports. Rather than directing all traffic to and from the cross-connected ports, the feature directs Ethernet traffic where the VLAN tag matches the cross-connect Flow ID. (Flow ID matches VLAN ID.)

When making the connection for a P2P VLAN flow, the user should enter a MAC address of all 0's (000000000000). P2P VLAN cross-connects will direct matching VLAN-tagged Ethernet traffic to the cross-connected ports regardless of the destination MAC address in the Ethernet frames.

Ethernet traffic entering the cross-connected port with a VLAN tag matching the flow id will be directed only to the port on the other end of the cross-connect. Traffic will not be flooded. This will also take precedence over any MAC address learning for VLAN-tagged traffic that matches the flow id in the cross-connect.

Ethernet traffic entering the cross-connected port with no VLAN tag or VLAN tags that do not match the flow id specified in the cross-connect will flood to all ports until MAC address learning takes place. The P2P VLAN cross-connect will have no effect on this traffic.

VLAN tagged Ethernet traffic that enters a port will be dropped if the VLAN tag matches the flow id of a cross-connect that is on a different port.






9.1 P2P VLAN Cross-Connections [cont.]

Draw new P2P VLAN cross-connection

A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a single broadcast domain.

By default all ports on the Ethernet switch are in a single VLAN until they are divided into multiple VLANs.

Frames are not forwarded from one VLAN to another VLAN. To forward to a different VLAN a router is required.

2.9 Ethernet Port PM

Ethernet PM provides an indication of the QoS for the Ethernet port. Two groups of Ethernet PM are available:

Ethernet Aggregate Tx PM supports the following counters:

Total Transmitted Octets (TTO)—Equals the number of good transmitted Octets on the port.

Total Transmitted Frames (TTF)—Equals the total number of good transmitted frames on the port.

Total Discarded Frames (TDF)—Equals the number of transmitted frames discarded on the port.

TTF Unicast—Equals the number of good transmitted Unicast frames on the port.

TTF Multicast—Equals the number of good transmitted Multicast frames on the port.

TTF Broadcast—Equals the number of good transmitted Broadcast frames on the port.

Ethernet Aggregate Rx PM supports the following counters:

Total Received Octets (TRO)—Equals the number of received octets on the port including; good, FCS, Alignment errors, undersized, fragment, and oversized packets.

Total Received Frames (TRF)—Equals the number of received frames on the port including; good, FCS, Alignment errors, undersized, fragment, and oversized packets.

Total Received Frames (TRSEF)—Equals the number of received errored frames on the port including; FCS, Alignment errors, undersized, fragment, and oversized packets.

Total Discarded Frames (TDF)—Equals the number of received frames discarded.

TRF Unicast—Equals the number of good received Unicast frames on the port.

TRF Multicast—Equals the number of good received Multicast frames on the port.

TRF Broadcast—Equals the number of good received Broadcast frames on the port.

Radio QoS Ethernet statistics are related to radio QoS queues (queues 1 to 5) for each Tx radio direction. Radio QoS Ethernet PM supports the following counters per queue:

Total Transmitted Octets (TTO)—Equals the number of good transmitted Octets on the port.

Total Transmitted Frames (TTF)—Equals the total number of good transmitted frames on the port.

Total Discarded Frames (TDF)—Equals the number of transmitted frames discarded on the port.





2 Diagnosis Menu

2.10 Radio QoS Ethernet Port PM

Radio Ethernet PM provides an indication of the QoS for the radio Ethernet port. The Radio QoS Ethernet statistics are related to radio QoS queues (queues 1 to 5) for each Tx radio direction. Queue

5 is the highest priority queue and queue 1 is the lowest priority queue





2 Diagnosis Menu

2.11 Radio Port PM

Radio Hop Section and Link Hop Section are defined as follows:

Radio Hop Section-The unprotected radio channel (before RPS in 1+1 radio configurations)

Link Hop Section-The protected radio channel (after RPS); Only supported in 1+1 radio configurations.

Adaptive Modulation PM captures the modulation scheme used on the Tx side when adaptive modulation is enabled. In 1+1 HSB radio configuration, the statistics are associated with the link level after RPS. Adaptive Modulation PM is not supported in 1+1 FD radio configurations.

Defect second on a radio hop section, is a second in which an LOF or DemFail occurs.

Defect second on a link hop section, is a second in which an LOF occurs at the link level after RPS.

Errored Block count for a radio hop section equals the number of errored blocks.

Errored Block count for a link hop section equals the number of link level errored blocks after RPS.

Four PM counters are supported as follows:

Errored Second (ES)-When a defect second is set or if there is at least one or more errored blocks.

Severely Errored Seconds (SES)-When a defect second is set and if the errored block count is greater or equal to 30% of the blocks in one second.

Background Block Error (BBE)-The number of block errors in a one second period and the second is not an SES.

Unavailable Seconds (UAS)-A time period starting after ten consecutive SES events are detected. The qualifying ten consecutive SES seconds are included in the UAS time period. Ending upon the detection of ten consecutive non SES events. These non SES seconds are not included in the UAS time period.





2 Diagnosis Menu

2.12 Adaptive Modulation PM

Adaptive Modulation PM captures the modulation scheme used for the transmitter when adaptive

modulation is enabled. In 1+1 HSB radio configuration, the statistics are associated with the link

level after Radio Protection Switching. Adaptive Modulation PM is not supported in 1+1 FD radio

configurations.





2 Diagnosis Menu

2.13 RSL History PM

RSL History PM provides an indication of the radio power levels of the transmitters and receivers associated with the Radio Hop Section and Radio Link Section for both the local and far-end. Additionally, RSL History PM captures the TPS and RPS switch statuses, and HBER alarms for both the local and the far-end.

7 Radio Facing Circuit Loopback







7.1 Radio Facing Circuit Loopback

Radio Facing Circuit Loopback mode is an internal loopback that uses the receive data interface signal on the MPT-HC Transceiver and replaces the signal to be transmitted by the MPT-HC Transceiver and sends the receive signal back to the far-end MPT-HC Transceiver.

Only possible to enable on the aggregate trafficLoop and continue processMPT-HC Transceiver transmit traffic will be droppedWhen this loopback is activated the expected behavior is as follows:

TDM2TDM and TDM2ETH flows are forwarded back to Core card with source and destination MAC addresses swapped.

For TDM2ETH flows, where the ECID Tx and ECID Rx are the same value, the loopback works.For TDM2ETH flows, where the ECID Tx is different form ECID Rx, the loopback fails.

Generic Ethernet flows are dropped.

Possible ProblemsAutomatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) High Power Timeout indicates that the local transmitter was

operating continuously at full power for 5-minutes, and the transmitter power was reduced to its minimum power setting.

ATPC Loop indicates loss of ATPC command path between far end transmitter and local receiver.

TxMute indicates a manual or automatic mute command has been executed. Using Craft Terminal, release TxMute.

Incompatible PTX indicates the configured transmit power value is not supported by the MPT.

MPT-HL not Responding indicates a loss of communications with the MPT. Replace MPT-HL module. If MPT-HL still not responding, replace communication link between MPT-HL and CSM-E/Core-E or EAS/P8ETH.

MPT-HL Replacement NotesAlways verify component state again before removal.

In an unprotected radio, performing the MPT-HL removal and replacement procedure will cause loss of traffic.

Remove battery power to MPT. Disconnect cable from SFP. Loosen four shelf mounting screws and remove MPT.

When replacing MPT-HL slowly push replacement MPT-HL into shelf making sure contact is made with backplane connectors.

After replacement, verify MPT-HL alarms are cleared and MPR is capable of carrying traffic.
