The SPU (Indoor Unit)

The following architecture represents the first generation implementation ofthe SPU. It may be revised on future cost reductions.

The SPU features a single board that contains all the SPU functions.These functions are provided through the following sections:

The Modem Section The Controller Section, and

The Multiplexer Section.


28/62


3-2 Functional Description

The Modem Section

Contains modulation and demodulation circuits, the FEC encoder anddecoder.

The modem generates the FEC encoder master clock through a directdigital synthesizer (DDS).

The FEC encoder is Reed Solomon. The modulator can be programmed for QPSK or 16 QAM modulation. The demodulator has an IF AGC circuit to compensate for the

SPU/RFU cable loss.

The modem IF frequencies are- Transmit: 350 MHz and

- Receive: 140 MHz.

The modem section contains also- a slope equalizer to compensate the slope through long SPU/RFU

interconnection cable;

- an adaptive time domain equalizer (ATDE) that will mitigate thesignal distortion due to multipath and certain equipmentimperfections;

- the cable interface circuit that will carry the battery DC voltage fromthe indoor facility to the RFU; and

- the power supply that will provide the voltage for the whole shelf.This power supply accepts a wide DC voltage (Power Input) rangingfrom 21.6 to 60 Vdc, positive or negative polarity.

- 4 LEDs on the SPUs faceplate; SPU, RFU, Cableand SUMthatprovide status information per Table 3-1.

The telemetry data (at 19.2 kb/s) is transmitted through 5.5 MHzmodulated ASK to the RFU. The telemetry signal (at 19.2 kb/s) comingfrom the RFU is a 10 MHz modulated ASK signal.

Other Features The embedded software for radio operation is so structured that only

new parameters of the new frequency or new capacity need to beupdated when a new radio with new frequency or new capacity areintroduced.

Provides a digital service channel data that consists of the networkcommunication (Net_comm) data, link communication data, and otherdata in the future.

Optional Orderwire

The orderwire is an optional plug-in sub-module that is designed to processsignals from standard 2-wire DTMF telephone handsets, as well as 4-wire VFsignals from other sources.

The front panel of this module contains- a 2-wire RJ-11 port (telephone handset), for a VF signal of 300 Hz -

3.4 kHz, PCM coded data, and- a 4-wire RJ-45 port (VF system interconnection, such as MicroStarradios) for a VF signal of 300 Hz - 3.4 kHz, PCM coded data.

Only one orderwire sub-module is required per site regardless of howmany radio terminals are on the site.

The DTMF telephone is used to dial individual site or all sites. Thesignaling can be either selective with 3 digits dialing or all call.

The controller does the site address decoding.

The Multiplexer Section

Processes up to 16 E1 data streams coming from the tributaryconnectors, and multiplexes them together with other service channeldata.

Uses positive justification with bit stuffing method. Through mixed N x E1 and Packet Data, the multiplexer enables the

radio to transmit mixed traffic of N x E1 and data from up to two10/100BASE-T ports with air link capacity from 2 to 16 E1, usingstandard channel bandwidths specified by ETSI for PDH data.

Maximum E1 tributaries for this mixed data is 16. Any E1 tributary slot can be substituted with the Ethernet packet data.

- For example, using the allocated channel bandwidth for 8 E1 air linkcapacity, the multiplexer allows for transmitting mixed data of up to8 E1 tributaries or 8 E1 equivalent Ethernet data.

Any of the designated 8 E1 tributary time slots can be allocated to carrythe Ethernet packet data.

In mixed E1 and Ethernet data configuration, up to 16 data selectorsselect either stuffed E1 tributary data or the data from the Ethernetswitch.

For 10/100BASE-T data, maximum frame size is 1536 bytes. Pin assignment of the two RJ-45 ports conforms to

- IEEE 802.3 for 10BASE-T and

- IEEE 802.3u for 100BASE-T.

Supports automatic MDI crossover using standard Category-5Unshielded Twisted Pair (CAT-5 UTP) Ethernet cable, length up to100 meters.

Configurable for- Auto-Negotiation function enabled, (automatic detection of

10BASE-T signal or 100BASE-T signal), or

- Auto-Negotiation function disabled (manually choose either10BASE-T or 100BASE-T).

Maximum MAC address learning is 1024. Features

- two 50-pin SCSI-1 ports (Tributaries 1-8and Tributaries 9-16) for

E1 tributary access; and- two RJ-45 Ethernet ports (10/100BASE-T 1and 10/100BASE-T 2)

This chapter describes briefly the features and functionsof the Management and Configuration tools available tothe user. For complete details related to configuring,operating, and troubleshooting the radio, including allSoftware-related information, refer to the Op e r a t o r sI n t e r f a c e Manual,P/N IMN-904008-Exx.

The Tools

In an TRuepoint radio, software plays a key role in providing a user-friendlyinterface, as well as defining and supporting the critical functions of the radio.

Modulation selection, frequency and power setting, and many other functionsare accessible via software and are inherent to the product.

Table 5-1provides a general description of these tools.


48/62


5-2 Management and Configuration Tools

You can connect a TRuepoint radio to other Harris point-to-point radios via- the Ethernet port to another Ethernet port,

- theHDLCserial port to a RPTR_IN serial port.

TOOLS

Auxiliary and Data Services Radio Overhead

Net_Comm (Network Communications)

The Net_Comm data is carried over RFCOHinside the radio over a Harrisequipment network. Its overhead is 512 kbit/s.

This protocol encapsulates all the functions like SCAN, Network Management,O/W, Data Channel, (see below). The payload or bandwidth is dynamicallyallocated to any of these services, meaning that, if the O/W data channels are

not used; this capacity is then allocated to the Net_Comm that will assign it tothe remaining services like NMS and SCAN. In doing so, this will increase thespeed of the Network Management System & SCAN.

Net_Comm is carried in the auxiliary channel of the RF link (radio overhead.The Net_Comm is encapsulated in HDLC-like frames.

The physical interface of Net_Comm is available on the 2 Ethernet (repeater)RJ-45 ports to connect to other Harris equipment. The 2 ports allow for daisychain, NMS and Web-CIT connections.

Net_Comm1supports the following applications:

Local login Remote login SCAN IP and ARP Auxiliary Channel digital bridge Object exchange Orderwire signalling Network topology.

1. Net_Comm is also available on the HDLC port, for MicroStarcompatibility. However, a MicroStarnetwork does not support all above-mentioned applications.


50/62



Harris Hand-held or VT-100 terminals

The Harris Hand-Held terminal (HHT) is a module that allows theconfiguration and display alarms of the radio. The VT-100 emulation allows thesame functionalities on a PC terminal.

The HHT or VT-100 terminal is used to

Report system alarms, Report system status, Apply control on the system, Display system performances, Display or modify the system configuration, and Implement password functionality.

The display module communicates with a VT-100 compatible terminal

connected to the multiport-auto (Port 2).The communication characteristics of the VT-100 terminal are the following:

Serial interface (9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity) VT-100 compatible

Password feature (on the HHT or VT-100)

The password feature limits access to the control and configuration menusthrough the HHT or VT-100 interface. There are 3 passwords:

1. The co n t r o l p a s sw o r d permits access to the control menu,

2. The co n f i g u r a t i o n p a ssw o r d permits access to both the control andthe configuration menus and allows the user to change both the controland the configuration passwords, and

3. The m ast er p a s sw o r d allows access to the control and configurationmenus and allows the user to change any of the three passwords.

Web Craft Interface Tool (W eb-CIT)

The Web-CIT is an on-board Web based CIT providing FCAPS capability,(Fault, Configuration, Administration, Performance, and Security). This toolutilizes web technology to control and monitor the radio system though a direct

connect, or remotely through the customers TCP/IP network. Radio pairs(local and remote) are visible to the operator from the same screen and anyradio pair on the network can be displayed.

The Web-CIT pages are HTML based and are executable from MicrosoftInternet Explorer 5.5 and higher or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and higher. TheWeb-CIT is powered by the GoAhead Web Server

TOOLS

SNMP

Because many of our products are dedicated to the PCS market, the NetworkManagement has to deal with particular network configurations:

Several hundred sites to be monitored. Several hundred sub-networks not interconnected.

In addition, it has been identified that:- The customer needs a fast notification when problems occur on any

site of any sub-network.

- The customer wants to manage all his equipment (from differentproviders) using a common platform.

SNMP provides these additional attributes to the radio. The SNMP requires theuse of a M I B(Management Information Base) to handle configuration, alarmand radio status. The SNMP management interface is a standard SNMP

interface, accessible through either PPP or 10BASE-T/Ethernet/UDP.

This feature-rich SNMP interface can be utilized by Harris networkmanagement systems (StarView, NetBoss) or any SNMP standard systemthrough an on-board RJ-45 connector.SNMP connectivity can be accomplished through the customers TCP-IPnetwork to allow remote LAN or WAN network management capability.

SNMP management systems use the M I Bto manage SNMP OBJECTS. Objectsin the MIB are defined using Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1). Each typeof object (termed an object type) has a name, a syntax, and an encoding. Thename is represented uniquely as an OBJECT IDENTIFIER. An OBJECTIDENTIFIER is an administratively assigned name.

OBJECTS define the following parameters in the radio.

Table 5-2: Objects Definition and Function

Parameter Function

AlarmDefines the status of a piece of hardware or software, whichcan be in alarm or not in alarm. An alarm usually requiresimmediate attention

Control A temporary setting of a value in a system. A control can beset or cleared

StatusDesignates the status of a piece of hardware or software. Astatus can be in any format required. A status is informativeand usually does not require immediate attention

Configuration Designates the permanent setting of a value in the system
