Preliminary information

1.2 Safety rules and precautionary measuresIn this paragraph are indicated all the safety rules and the precautionary measures to follow while carrying out operations on the equipment in order to prevent injuries to per-sonnel and/or damages to the equipment components.g PLEASE READ THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!

1.2.1 RF Energy Health Hazard

This symbol indicates a risk of personal injury due to radio frequency exposure.The radio equipment described in this guide uses radio frequency transmitters. No one shall be allowed to come in the close proximity of the antenna's front while the transmitter is operating. The antenna will be professionally installed on the outdoor per-manent fix-mounted structures in order to keep it separate from any other antenna and from everybody else.

1.2.2 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.

!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 rules and 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.

1.2.3 Protection from RF BurnsIt 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.

1.2.4 Risk of Personal Injury from Fiber Optics

1.2.5 Warning This is a Class A product

1.2.6 Warning Turn off all power before servicing

1.2.7 Safety RequirementsA switch must be placed between the FlexiHybrid external power supply and the Flex-iHybrid power supplies in order to meet safety requirements. The switch must discon-nect both of the power supply poles.A single-pole cut-off device can be used to disconnect the line conductor when the DC MAINS SUPPLY is configured with an earthed conductor.

!DANGER:Invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure to the tip-end of a fiber, fiber cord, or fiber pigtail. The infrared light used in fiber optics systems is invisible, but can cause serious injury to the eye.

!WARNING:Never touch exposed fiber with any part of your body. Fiber fragments can enter the skin and are difficult to detect and remove.

!WARNING:This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio inter-ference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

!WARNING:Turn off all power before servicing.

2.2 Typical test bench overview

Figure 1 General layout for the link test

The above figure is only an example of the typical layout for Field Tests using one PDH BER Test Instruments and portable PC.

g Warning for Laptop Connection - If wanting to use an external power supply for the Laptop, it is recommended to connect first the serial cable and then the power supply cable.Doing this the other way round could be dangerous, because the power supply unit for the laptop normally contains an autotransformer, and the dif-ference of ground potential could damage the serial port of the PC and (or) the serial interface of the IDU.

5.2 Installation checkThis phase is fundamental for all the other technical activities.It is a statistical data, where most of the field problems or link troubles are caused by a wrong mechanical installation of all the parts making up the system.Installation check must be sub-divided into three fundamental groups: Indoor installation (section 5.2.1) Outdoor installation (section 5.2.2) IDU-ODU cable installation (section 5.2.3)

5.2.1 Indoor installation

5.2.1.1 Fuse/Breaker for Main DC power distributionIt is fundamental to verify that the Fuse/Breaker used on the PDB (Power Distribution Box), complies with the consumption of the FlexiHybrid. Note that the system consump-tion value depends on the type of system (refer to the installation manual (UMN) for the proper consumption value).In any case it is suggested to use one breaker for each Power Supply Module installed in the IDU.

5.2.1.2 DC power supply checkAfter the visual installation inspection check that the DC Power supplied to the FlexiHy-brid system is correct.The procedure below lists the steps followed to check the power supplied to the Flexi-Hybrid. Turn OFF the switch of the breaker. Disconnect the DC Power connectors from the equipment (Power Supply mod-

ules). Turn ON the main power supply from the DC Main distribution Box. With a Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) or equivalent, confirm that the voltage supplied

from the DC line is -48 V nominal and within the nominal tolerance accepted by the equipment ( 20 %).

g Warning - The measure applied directly on the connectors' pins is subject to short circuit through multimeter contact (in any case caused by the operator).

At the end of the measure, turn OFF the main power supply from the DC Main dis-tribution Box.

Finally connect the power supply connectors on the Power Supply Modules of the IDUs.

g Warning - Since the Power Supply positive is also the ground reference, pay atten-tion to the Multimeter connection when measuring the DC voltage.Normally, if the Common port of the multimeter (Black cable) is connected to ground or to Positive voltage, and the port measure to the Negative voltage (Red Cable), the value read will be negative: - 48 Volt.

5.2.1.3 Assembling and positioning the IDU in the RackCheck that the IDUs have been placed inside the rack as explained in the project spec-ifications.Verify that the mounting brackets on each side of the IDU (supplied with the installation material) are properly screw-fastened to the type of rack installed (ETSI or 19").Check the mechanical fixing of the output connectors and cabling from the IDU to the related termination fixing point (DDF, Coax Plate, etc...).It is not a mandatory requirement, but it is suggested a separate running path for Digital signal, DC Power supply and IDU-ODU connection cable.Check that the Grounding connection of the IDU Sub-rack is properly fixed to the rack and consequently to the main grounding ring (or other grounding distribution) present in the station (or shelter).When more than one unit is installed, it is recommended to leave a 1U space between the IDUs in the rack.This rule has two functions: assure proper air ventilation between all IDUs, have a facility path for all the cabling installed from the IDU to the external con-nections.

Figure 5 Example of IDU Installed Front view

5.2.1.4 Installation check of the "Coaxial cable fixing bracket"Refer to the UMN manual or Installation documentation. Verify that the "Coaxial cable fixing bracket" and the related grounding connection have been properly assembled and installed.In particular, check the fixing assembly of the coax tail incoming from the IDU and the straight N connector on the IDU-ODU cable.Check also the grounding connection of the fixing bracket to the Rack or to the station main grounding distribution.

5.2.1.5 Service and tributary cablingVerify that all applicable connectors and IDU cabling have been properly laid and fas-tened.Verify that all cables (divide according to the type of digital signal) are properly grouped and fixed to the support ladder or other running support.Check that the DDF or other distribution frame (indicated on the project specification) has been connected properly.

5.2.2 Outdoor installation checkUse all the necessary safety devices for working at certain altitudes. Verify that all outdoor components making up the system have beem properly assembled, installed and cabled (re. the UMN manual, installation documentation and project specification).The following are the typical outdoor components making up the systems: Antenna Flexible waveguide Mounting Kit (if applicable) ODUs and related Grounding Connections ODUs interconnection (in case of CC configuration)

5.2.2.1 AntennaFollowing the assembling instruction supplied by the antennas supplier, check that all mechanical assembling components have been properly assembled and fixed.Verify that the antennas positioning have already been oriented in the direction of the remote terminal station (refer to the project specification; to check the antenna Azimuth value pay attention if using the compass to verify the antenna positioning).

g Warning - The compass reader placed near a metallic structure (in particular on the TLC structure) is subject to errors introduced by magnetic effects. It is suggested to direct the antenna towards an external reference point (mountain, building, tree etc.).Use the compass (not near the tower structure) to identify the reference point.Note that the value measure with the compass refers to the magnetic coordinates (Magnetic North), but most of the project refers to the geographic coordinates (True North).Slight differences are possible.

Check that the output polarization agrees with the project specification.Normally horn feeder fixing or antennas, have a reference mark to identify polarization.In the case of dual polarization horn feeder a label or mark (also described in the antenna assembling instructions) identifies the H or V polarization.Polarisation can be easily identified on all those systems that are provided with flexible wave-guide or single integrated ODUs. Conversely, polarisation cannot be immediately identified if installation is carried out with an integrated mounting kit because the mark, in this case, would be covered up by it.

Id:0900d805802480cd

To this concern contact the installation personnel to confirm the installed polarization.Depending on the antenna diameter, type and supplier, verify (if necessary) the instal-lation of the wind bracket and check (if applicable) if this component has been properly installed. Note that the wind bracket needs to be fixed on a separate mount pole in order to maintain a proper angle between the antenna and the bracket fixing point.

5.2.2.2 Flexible waveguideThis chapter is applicable if the connection of ODUs (fixed to the proper mounting kit support), is through a flexible waveguide supplied with the systemCheck that they have been properly installed, in particular: Appropriate length, based on antenna diameter and distance (typically 0.6 mt or 1

mt). No close bending or anomalous torsion (note that normally the flexible waveguide

supplied is also twistable). Check that the flange termination has been properly fixed to the antenna and

Mounting support; in case of doubt disconnect them from the antenna and mounting support and

check the installation of the O-ring between the flange. Check that the waveguide-fixing bracket (supplied with the flexible wave-guide) has

been properly installed. The system needs 1 fixing bracket for WG of up to 0.6 mt, and 2 fixing brackets for WF of up to 1 mt.

Checking the cable using a multimeter

5.2.3.1 Visual checking of installation qualityVerify if the cable is properly tied, if all connectors are properly assembled and installed in the right position (N 90 side ODUs and N straight side Indoor).On the outdoor 90 connector, verify that the shrink sleeve is properly assembled and fixed on the connector body.Other PVC and water proofing material is optional material; the connectors need no other particular protection.Verify that the cable is properly fixed and tied to the support ladder (indoor and outdoor). The distance suggested between each fixing point is defined in the UMN Manual and installation documents.In any case refer to the following table:

If the cable is tie-fixed, it is suggested to fix the ties in a cross mode, in order to prevent the cable from sliding or falling off.

Figure 17 Fixing of IDU-ODU cable

Check that the cable path from the ODU is not under stress or subject to an anomalous torsion.Check that the grounding connection of the IDU-ODU cable is properly connected before the building/shelter entrance to an appropriate Grounding distribution plate.Note that with the system one grounding kit per cable is supplied. Not more than one grounding kit is required for standard installation. In any case refer to the customer and project specification.

5.2.3.2 Cable continuity check using a multimeterExcept for some particular cases no Return loss or VSWR test instruments are used to test the cable.It is important to check the cable in order to assess the Short circuit or open cable status.For this test a sample multimeter with buzzer option is recommended.Proceed as follows:Switch OFF the ODUs (it is suggest to switch Off completely all IDUs).

g Warning - It is mandatory to switch OFF the ODUs Power to prevent damage on the Equipment or injury to the operator when operating on the IF cable. Note that the DC Voltage is approx. 50 Volts DC.

Disconnect the cable from the ODUs and the indoor distributor.

g Warning - If the cable is connected with PVC, pay attention when removing the PVC tape on the N connectors Side ODU so as not to damage the cable.

With the cable in open status (ODU side), connect a Multimeter with buzzer on the indoor connector side.Check that any short circuit is detected (Buzzer OFF).

Figure 19 Short circuit Check

g Warning - Pay attention to the hand contact on the multimeter. In this case a parallel resistance introduced by the Human Body will give a wrong test result.

Near the Indoor connector, move the cable and check that any short circuit is detected by the Multimeter.Near the Outdoor connector, move the cable and check that any short circuit is detected by the Multimeter.

6.3 Web Access ManagementUse a web browser to access the "FlexiHybrid" GUI.The Web GUI may be accessed via ETH port by connecting a CAT5 patch cable between the IDU front-panel NMS port and a PC. The PCs network interface must be configured with an IP address within the same subnet of the equipment IP address.For the default IDU configuration, the IP address of the PC needs to be 192.168.0.x, where x (between 2 and 253) provides an available IP address.If no DCN Planning configuration is available (or Stand alone Link) it is suggested to configure on the equipment the following IP addresses.

Based to above configuration (only for example), the IP address of the PC needs to be 192.168.0.x (where "x" between 5 and 253) to provide an available IP address.Consequently the PC Laptop configuration for Web Access trough ETH Port must be:

*Gateway value is not mandatory.After configuring the PCs network interface, using a Cat 5 ETH cable, connect the PC to the NMS Port 1 on the front panel of the Controller Module.

6.4 System Configuration (Link Wizard Configuration)The first Step carried out to configure the FlexiHybrid is Link Configuration. This config-uration mode (also called Link Wizard Configuration) guides the operator to execute link configuration through the step by step wizard mode. Start the GUI Expand the Menu tree and from the Radio Link menu select Radio Link > Link Con-

figurationBasically, the system configuration requires 5 consecutive steps: Step 1: ODU Operational Mode Step 2: IDU Operational Mode Step 3: ODU Configuration Step 4: ODU Channel Selection Step 5: Summary of ConfigurationsDuring the configuration Wizard it is suggested to observe the following notes:g To configure the Framer and ODU related parameters, a standard IO card and

modem should be configured and be present. Otherwise an error message will be displayed.

g In the Link Configuration Wizard, use only back/ next button given in the web page to move to the previous/next page. Do not use the browser back button.

g If the selected parameters on the current page are not supported by the terminal, an error message will be displayed on the next page. To correct the error, go back to the previous page and select a different value for the selected parameter.

6.4.1 Step 1: ODU Operational ModeThe operator selects the main system type: Standard Mode = for not protected mode (1+0) Protected non-diversity = for protected link in Hot Stand By mode (1+1 HSTBY) Protected diversity = for protected link in Frequency diversity mode (1+1 FD) East-West Mode = for 2 + 0 different destination in Add/Drop Repeater or Ring con-

figuration East-East Mode = for 2 + 0 same destination configuration (available only with the

Gigabit Ethernet unit)

In case of East-West Operational mode, the screen is split into two selections, one for the East direction and the other for the West Direction.Note that the IDU Operational mode settings depend on several factors, System License, Modules making up the IDUs and operational mode defined by Project specifi-cation.The acronym used in the IDU operational mode defines exactly the number of PDH, Ethernet or SDH capability.The IDU Operational Mode Acronymous can be structured with the following suffix rule:

Where: BW is the Channel Bandwidth in MHz Mod is the Modulation Type (4=QPSK, 16=16QAM, 32=32QAM, 64=64QAM,

128=128QAM) #e is the maximum number of E1 Ports Channel (i.e. 16e is up to 16 E1) #M is the Maximal Ethernet Data on the Eth Ports (i.e. 26M is up to 26 Mbps) #s is the maximum number of STM-1 Ports Channel In two types of IDUs there is also the suffix P# before the Eth capacity, this when the

system is configured in Ethernet Plus Mode. See the examples given in the table below:

6.4.3 Step 3: ODU ConfigurationThe operator selects the basic configuration of the ODUs.The operator must select the ODU Type (HT or LT selection identifies the ODU RF Band, for High Band it is HT and for Low band it is LT). These parameters must be detected automatically from the ODUs.The operator must check if it is compliant with the Project RF Planning.The required configuration is the Start Tx Power data.The SW detects from the ODUs the Tx RF Power Range and the operator selects the value referred to in the Project Planning Data.In this case too the displayed screen depends on the Link Configuration Mode.For Standard (1+0) and Protected Non Diversity (1+1 HSTBY) only one setting is dis-played.For Protected Diversity and East-West Mode both ODUs (East and West setting) are displayed.

6.4.4 Step 4: ODU Channel SelectionThe operator configures the Operative Working Frequency for the ODUs.Select the option Manual Frequency Entry and write directly the Tx frequency defined in the Project RF Planning. The frequency must be written in MHz.The system detects also (from the ODUs) the Max and Min frequency range and the Spacing.These data depend on the ODU Type and relevant P/N.In this case too the displayed screen depends on the Link Configuration Mode.For Standard (1+0) and Protected Non Diversity (1+1 HSTBY) only one setting is dis-played.For Protected Diversity and East-West Mode first is displayed the configuration for East ODU and then, in the next step, the configuration for West ODU.

6.4.5 Step 5: Configuration Summary and UpdateThe operator verifies all the configuration data and, if all the data meet the Project spec-ification, applies the command to execute them on the system.The displayed screen depends on the Link Configuration Mode.For Standard (1+0) and Protected configuration only one command is displayed to apply the configuration.For East-West Mode the command can be applied with three options: Update East Link, the settings are applied on the East Local and Remote system

(if connected); Update West Link, the settings are applied on the West Local and Remote system

(if connected); Update All, the settings are applied on the East / West Local and on the relevant

Remote systems (if connected).After the Update confirmation command the system reconfigures all the Local and remote IDUs.This task takes a few minutes.During this phase the Status Bar shows a Reconfiguring message.At the end, the Status Bar shows the Relevant data from the local and remote system.

g During the reconfiguration phase do not apply any setting on the system.

6.5 Additional Radio Link Configuration Parameters

6.5.1 APC ConfigurationAs per project specification requirements (typically RF Network Planning Specifications) configure the APC (Adaptive Power Control).This configuration defines the Threshold and the Transmission Output range, if needed. To enable/disable APC, click on the radio button and click the update button. To change RSL Low Threshold, RSL High Threshold, RSL Maximum Threshold,

CER Threshold, Tx Power Minimum, and Tx Power Maximum values or Step size, enter the required value in the text box (for Step Size scroll through the select box) and click update button.

To Enable/Disable Update Far End Thresholds parameter, select the relevant radio button and press Update button.

Figure 36 APC configuration menu

g In the 1+1 HSTBY configuration, the settings related to the Coupler Configuration are also on the APC configuration menu.

In case of Unbalanced Coupler configure the ODUs (East or West) installed on the Main Port or on the Decoupled Port.Normally it is suggested to install the East ODU on the main port (HW installation) and set the value of Coupler Nominal Power Side with East.If the Coupler is the Unbalanced type, configure the Coupler Loss with the proper value stated in the coupler specification (typically 10 dB).

6.5.2 Protection ConfigurationFor Protected system check and configure the Protection as stated in the Project Spec-ification requirements.This configuration defines the rule for system switching. This setting is particularly for Hot Stand-By systems. The Power down ODU is a command to switch OFF completely the ODU in case of

Switching (it will be suggested to keep this parameter Disabled). Preferred ODU defines the active ODU in the system Start Up (it will be suggested

to set the main channel defined by the East ODU). Remote Transmitter Switching enables (or not) the remote switching operation in

case of local switch (suggested to be kept disabled).A manual Transmission switch command is also present in case of switch testing.

6.5.3 ODU Power and ODU Channel ConfigurationThe ODU power and ODU Channel configuration define the Power Transmission Power and Operating Frequency (Tx).This typical configuration is already configured during the Link Configuration Wizard Operation.In any case, the same configurable parameters are also available apart from the other configurable data defined in the Link Configuration Wizard.

6.5.4 ODU ConfigurationThe ODU Configuration Screen allows the operator to squelch manually.This command allows to squelch the transmission of the TX RF signal.In this case too the screens differ according to the Link configuration parameters.These parameters must be applied only for testing or troubleshooting applications (for example to check interference or if the ODU mute operation is working properly).

6.6 Traffic and Port ConfigurationThe different Traffic and Port configuration settings menus depend on the Link and IDU configuration.The indications given in this chapter are only as example.

6.6.1 Ethernet Port ConfigurationBasically, Ethernet payload is supported when: The IDU is equipped with Standard Master IO Module, Enhanced Standard Master

IO, 42xE1 Master IO Module or GE Master IO Module. IDU Operational Mode is configured with Eth Port Capabilities System License permits the IDU Operational Mode with Eth Port CapabilitiesNote that the Standard or Enhanced Module or 42xE1 Master IO Module support up to 2 Eth Ports.The GE Master Module supports up to 4 Eth ports and one SFP configurable module to the SFP type.

6.6.1.1 Example of Ethernet Port Configuration with Standard or Enhanced Master I/O ModuleThe following examples refer to an IDU equipped with: Standard or Enhanced Master I/O Moduleg The main difference between a Standard or Enhanced Master I/O Module and

Gigabit Ethernet Master I/O Module is the number of configurable Eth Port (from two to four) and on the Gigabit Module the configuration of an optional SFP module.

With this configuration only two Eth Ports are available.The ports are located on the Enhanced Master I/O Module.
