GENERAL INFORMATION
The Hiperion family of Digital Microwave Radios (DMR) allows transmission links to be established rapidly and easily to meet a variety of transmission needs, brings cost savings and helps rapid network rollout. This solution comprises of: antenna, outdoor unit and indoor unit. The Hiperion ATL-GX Mixed Access digital microwave radio link can be configured as a full-featured SDH, PDH and/or IP transmission solution designed to seamlessly incorporate radio links into a wide range of infrastructure, working across a variety of frequencies from 6 GHz to 38 GHz and meeting carrier-grade standards for reliability, quality and environmental compliance. In the 1 + 0 and 1 + 1 configurations, the Hiperion ATL-GX Mixed Access digital microwave radio link supports up to 360 Mbps as standard and up to 480 Mbps with the addition of a Frame Header Suppression Card. The 2 + 0 configuration supports up to 720 Mbps and 960 Mbps respectively. The variants* of ATL-GX IDU Data Interface Modules currently available are: ATL-GX IDU 8E1 + IP ATL-GX IDU 16E1 + IP ATL-GX IDU 32E1 + IP ATL-GX IDU IP (10/100/1000Base T/ GbE)
*Please contact ATECIL for the latest Data Interfaces available.
This documentation covers the installation and maintenance of ATL-GX IDU (Indoor Unit) for both 1+0 and 1+1 configurations, and is intended to be read in conjunction with the Hiperion Antenna Installation Manual, the Hiperion ODU Installation Manual and ATL-CB Redundancy Splitter Installation Manual.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The following configurations are supported: 7.1.1 Unprotected (1+0)
TX Traffic IDU IF cable ODU 1 f1
RX IF cable ODU 1 IDU Traffic

Unequal Splitters
ODU 1
f1
Figure 7-2: Protected configuration system-hot standby, Single Antenna In the hot standby mode, only one IDU is in Tx operation at the transmitting end, the other IDU is in Tx Standby (with the transmitting function muted). When an error occurs, the active IDU transmitter will be shut down and replaced with the standby IDU transmitter. At the receiving end, both receivers and modulators are in operation. Each receiver will receive the same RF signal and then the two demodulators will demodulate the received signal. The better of the two signals will be selected and sent as user traffic. 7.1.3 Frequency Diversity (1+1)
In the Frequency Diversity mode, the two channels are fed with the same signal resource. Data is distributed to the two channels by an equal split coupler, and then sent to the corresponding IF Modules; each having the modulator and transmitter in operation. At the receiving end, each receiver and demodulator is receiving and demodulating the signals from different RF channels. The better of the two signals will be selected and exported.

Figure 7-3: Protected configuration Frequency Diversity, Single Antenna
7.1.4
Space Diversity (1+1)
In the Space Diversity mode, the best or either receive signal is exported from the IDU. The best signal is based on a comparison of the amount of Forward Error Correction applied to each of the incoming signals. The IDUs compare each data frame and then vote on which frame most closely resembles the original, exporting this frame. True Space Diversity would normally use two antennas however this mode is automatically enabled when either the Hot Standby mode or Frequency Diversity mode is selected.
Page 14
Figure 7-4: Protected configuration Hot Standby or Frequency Diversity with Space Diversity, Dual Antenna
Space Diversity using two antennas may be used and functionally, is automatically enabled when either the hot standby mode or frequency diversity mode is selected.
7.1.5
Unprotected (2+0)
Figure 7-5: Unprotected 2 + 0 configuration, Single Antenna This configuration doubles the capacity of the link which utilises two ODUs at each end of the link connected to a single IDU, combined on a single antenna or on separate antennas if desired.

Lightning protection is designed to protect people, property and equipment from injury or damage from both a local and near by adjacent lightning discharge. Sound lightning protection design is an indispensable element of a grounding system used to protect the equipment from transient and/or electrostatic discharge. The components required to protect the microwave radio installation are as follows: Part No ATL-AN10MF70 (One Surge Arrestor is installed at each end of the IF Cable) 1 + 0 configuration: 2 x Surge Arrestors 2 + 0 configuration: 4 x Surge Arrestors 1 + 1 configuration: 4 x Surge Arrestors Grounding kit, CL-8D - AT-CN-8-Ground The Ground Kit is installed at the point of entry into the equipment room or shelter. One Ground Kit per IF Cable
Table 8-2: Lightning Protection Components
Page 20
For optimal protection, one Surge Arrestor is located at the N-Type connector on the ODU and the other is located at the N-Type connector of the TNC to N-Type tail connected to the IDU.
The Ground Kit is installed on the IF Cable at the point of entry into the equipment room or shelter or building. As the Surge Arrestor is designed to be sacrificial, the location should allow for easy testing, installation and removal.
9.
ANTENNA ASSEMBLY
Antennas which have multiple components must be re-assembled carefully to ensure mechanical performance is achieved.
9.1.1
Feeder Cable Assembly
Take normal precautions when preparing and handling feeder cables and waveguides to ensure they are not damaged by their own weight. Cable should not be pulled with a radius less than that determined for the installed cable/waveguide. Due to limitations of side bearing pressure, it is recommended that larger radius bends be used. Inspect the cable/waveguide ends for small metal fragments; remove unwanted objects before each connector is installed. Always protect the cables and waveguides from damage, use cable clips where needed.
9.1.2
Moisture Proofing
Extreme care should be exercised with waveguides before and after installation to ensure that moisture does not enter the waveguide. Keep the waveguide dry while in storage with ends tightly capped. Connectors, and fittings, to be located outdoors should be made mechanically tight, and with any factory supplied sealing fittings installed. Moisture problems in antenna systems are usually traced back to connectors which have NOT been properly protected. Moisture protection may be required which includes, dry nitrogen, compressors or dehydrators.
9.1.3
Drip-Loop
AT Electronic & Communication Limited International recommends that every horizontal cable entry to the antenna feed, forms a 'U' before its entry to equipment and antenna. This prevents any accumulation of water on the cable.
Page 21
9.1.4
Antenna Connections
The antenna has been designed for all cable/waveguide entries from the rear of the antenna feed assembly.

IF CABLE
The design of the Outdoor Unit allows low cost coaxial cable to be used to interconnect the IDU to the ODU. Note: ATECIL recommends the use of low loss, 100% shield coaxial cable with an Ultra Violet stabilised outer jacket.
The following tables indicate the maximum lengths for various types of coaxial cable (example is Times Microwave). The ODU is always supplied with approximately -48 VDC from an internal DCDC Converter, irrespective of the supply voltage. The minimum requirement is to be able to deliver at least 22 VDC at the ODU N-Type connector, and the coax cable length must have less than 25 dB attenuation at 350 MHz.

ANTENNA INTRODUCTION
The Microwave Antenna is of a parabolic design that consists of a reflector, feed and tower mount. Typically, there are two types of antenna: High Performance (HP) Parabolic Antenna and Standard Performance (SP) Parabolic Antenna. With additional shield and radome applied, the HP Parabolic Antenna is of higher efficiency, with superior Front/Back Ratio as well as excellent anti-corrosion proofing properties. The HP antennae are also available in Low Profile models (LP). The antenna is mainly used for directing the RF energy into and out of the ODU in a particular direction. ATECIL provides a wide range of Parabolic Antennas with different sizes for all operating bands of our Hiperion product line. Direct Mount of the ODU is available on all antennas up to three metre diameter. The table below list all antennas available by radome size and frequency band.

Antenna Installation Procedure
With the complete antenna packaging moved to the final installation site, exercise care in the use of the tools used to open and remove the lid. Ample packaging material, protecting the antenna during shipment, may be discarded with the packaging container at the end of the installation. The antenna is pre-assembled including all the mounting fixtures prior to shipment. Before commencing with pole or tower mounting, the installer needs to unscrew and remove the mounting screws and bolts. The antenna mounting rack can then be separated from the equipment in preparation for subsequent installation. Depending on antenna provided, it may be necessary to construct the antenna on site before installation. This section uses the 0.3 m and 0.6 m antenna installation as examples. Refer to the publication ATLHiperion Antenna Installation Guide for the installation of other antenna sizes.

ANTENNA ALIGNMENT
Antenna Pre-Alignment Tools Required Compass Inclinometer Spanners voltmeters
16.1.2
Initial Set Up
Antenna alignment requires staff at each end of the link. A path profile analysis will provide each site with the required installation elevation, azimuth and bearing information, for initial antenna positioning. Ensure this information is available at each site. This is sufficient for the antenna to be pointed in the general direction as fine tuning will take place during alignment. For azimuth and elevation alignment, arrange each end to be on the assigned frequency to minimise any possible interference. Alignment involves quite a bit of fine tuning, which is an iterative process and the objective is to maximise the receive signal at each end the hop. Before proceeding to antenna pre-alignment, ensure each end of the hop is equipped with a known working Voltmeter and appropriate cable.
16.2
Antenna Pair Identification
There may or may not be in-band interference at either site, however identify and isolate the wanted RF signal in the presence of unwanted signal using the calculated RSL. For each ODU, a unique lookup table is supplied to specify the relationship between RSL and RSSI (VBNC) level. Ensure the serial number of the ODU matches the correct lookup table before proceeding.

The path analysis documents should be checked for the expected RSL. Allowance should be made for an RSL over a small range of say 6 dB ~ 10 dB. Correlate the data in the lookup table against the RSSI reading along all points of the RSL range.
ATL-MV PDH
Page 47
The antenna pair is identified when measured RSSI level matches against the corresponding RSL values specified in the lookup table. 16.3 Antenna Adjustment
16.3.1
Antenna Azimuth Adjustment
Follow the steps below to make antenna azimuth adjustment. Prepare for azimuth adjustment by locating and loosening the bolts on the mounting bracket. Take the figure below as a guide and examine to locate the exact bolts on the mounting bracket.
Loosen nuts for azimuth adjustment
Figure 16-2: Loosen nuts for azimuth adjustment Make coarse azimuth adjustment by swinging antenna in different direction and make fine azimuth adjustment by moving nuts on azimuth adjustment level (take figures below as a guide), observe the RSSI reading from ODU, until the reading is at its maximum (refer to section 11.3 for details). Adjusting nut
Figure 16-3: Coarse/fine azimuth adjustment Once azimuth adjustment is achieved, re-check RSSI reading and if necessary, repeat steps above until the settings are optimized.

Antenna Elevation Adjustment Prepare for elevation adjustment by locating and loosening the bolts on the mounting bracket. Use the drawing as a guide and examine to locate the exact bolts on the mounting bracket.
Loosen nuts for elevation adjustment
Figure 16-4: Loosen nuts for elevation adjustment Make coarse elevation adjustment by turning antenna vertically and make fine elevation adjustment by moving nuts on elevation adjustment level, observe the RSSI reading from ODU, until the reading is at its maximum (refer to section 11.3 for details). Once elevation adjustment is achieved, re-check RSSI reading and if necessary, repeat steps above until the settings are optimized. Antenna Fine-Alignment
16.3.3
Each ODU has a BNC connector, for DC voltage measurement by a voltmeter. A meter with an analogue movement is the best type to use. This is a RSSI indication, and is monitored by the multimeter. RSSI is indicated by a voltage reading, and varies as azimuth and bearing adjustments are made. Each antenna is adjusted, one at a time, until a maximum peak in RSSI is found and no further adjustment of either antenna causes any further increase in RSSI voltage.
Figure 16-5: ODU RSSI profile for antenna
ATL-MV PDH
Page 49
The above figure represents the RSSI level as the antenna is being brought into alignment. Note that there are several peaks with one dominate peak. Location of the optimal signal strength should be at the maximum of its RSSI profile. The local antenna is paned from a slightly high position above the bore site of the antenna across the peak in RSSI signal, then lowered slightly, and panned in the other direction, until the dominate peak is found.
Figure 16-6: Panning Antenna
With the antenna positioned on the maximum peak, this procedure is repeated at the remote antenna. This is repeated several times for each antenna until no further increase in RSSI voltage is noted.

ATL-GX IDU FUNCTIONALITY

Setting ODU parameters Frequency Point Selection
The operational frequency of the ODU can be configured through the monitoring system such as the NMS, or via a web browser.
17.1.2
Transmit Power Control Function
Through the monitoring system, the ODU Tx output power can be configured.
17.1.3
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
The ODU automatically controls the gain of the receiver amplifiers to ensure that the IF level is consistent for delivery to the IDU. This ensures the performance of the entire system.
17.1.4
Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is implemented for the digital filtering and processing of mODUlated and demodulated signals. Using DSP, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is reduced and the performance of a communication system is then enhanced.
ATL-MV PDH
Page 50
In parallel with the above, the application of advanced Forward Error Correction (FEC) enables a number of errors to be detected and corrected without requiring retransmission, thus reducing the RSL threshold and improving the performance of system gain.
17.1.5
Signal Processing
The following signals are processed by the IDU: Ethernet Interface: for LAN signal input and output NMS Interface: for monitoring and management. EOW Interface: provides voice connection between ends of a radio link. Auxiliary Data Channels: providing users with serial data interfaces via AUX interface. The RS-232 or RS-422 protocol is available for these interfaces. Both synchronous and asynchronous modes are provided. Auxiliary data can be transmitted through this channel.
17.1.6
ATPC
Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) allows the link elements to automatically adjust the output power of the ODUs to achieve the ATPC Trigger Level. If the RSL (Received Signal Level) of the local ODU drops to a level lower than the ATPC Trigger Level, i.e. RSL < ATPC Trigger Level, the local MW equipment will send a power increase request to remote equipment. When the remote MW equipment receives the power increase request from the local equipment, it will increase the output power. If the increasing output power is higher than the maximum output power of ODU, then remote ODU will use the maximum output power.
Figure 17-1: ATPC action
ATL-MV PDH
Page 51
If the RSL of the local ODU is 6dB higher than the ATPC Trigger Level, i.e. RSL > ATPC Trigger Level + 6, the local ODU will send a power decrease request to the remote ODU. When this request is received, the remote ODU will decrease the output power. If the output power is lower than the minimum output power of ODU, then it will use the minimum output power.
17.1.7
ACM
Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) was designed to help operators maximize spectrum usage and increase the capacity of their backhaul links over any given channel bandwidth, under any weather condition, at any link budget. Adaptive Coding and Modulation refers to the automatic adjustment that a wireless system can make in order to optimize over-the-air transmission and prevent weather-related fading from causing communication on the link to be disrupted. When extreme weather conditions, such as a storm, affect the transmission and reception of data and voice over the wireless network, an ACM-enabled radio system automatically changes Modulation and/or coding allowing real-time applications to continue to run uninterrupted. Varying the Modulation and/or coding will also vary the amount of bits that are transferred per signal, thereby enabling higher throughputs and better spectral efficiencies.
Figure 17-2: ACM modifying Link Capacity 17.1.8 MSE
Mean Squared Error (MSE) is similar to Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) except that MSE accounts for distortion and interference in addition to noise power.
ATL-MV PDH
Page 52
Distortion may come from several sources such as IF cables that are improperly constructed, and path degradation caused by path anomalies such as multi-path or Fresnel zone encroachment. Interference may come from other co-sited transmitters on the tower, from high power transmitters in the indoor shelter where the IDU is located or from other adjacent transmitters. Distortion and Interference causes degradation of the receive signal by modifying the received Modulation. There are maximum acceptable MSE values for each type of Modulation which are useful in determining the quality of the link however the higher level of Modulation, the lower the MSE value must be. The MSE value reported is only relevant to one Transmit Receive path, so the MSE of each path must be evaluated to verify the link is operating correctly. The lower the value of MSE the better the Link quality, for example, a MSE value of -35 dB is better than a value of -30 dB. The table below shows the maximum MSE value to expect in IF Loopback, Normal Operation, and Absolute Maximum. MSE Expected and Maximum Values (dB) 256QAM Maximum Expected value IF Loopback Maximum Expected value Normal Operation Absolute Maximum -6 for BER = 1 x 10 -36 -32 -28 128QAM -36 -32 -25 64QAM -36 -32 -22 32QAM -36 -32 -19 16QAM -36 -32 -16 QPSK -36 -32 -9

SYSTEM TESTING
The system has a number of Built In Test (BIT) functions. These are used during commissioning and for the purposes of troubleshooting which simplifies these tasks.
20.1 20.1.1
Loop Testing LAN Loop Testing
A LAN System Loop is mainly used to test the performance of the entire link. Data is looped back among the ETH interfaces of the local IDU and remote IDU. An external BERT can be used to test the system performance.
Figure 20-1: LAN System Loop 20.1.2 LAN Line Loop
A LAN line loop is mainly used for the loop among ETH interfaces. It loops the IP input to the IP output to test whether the local equipment and cabling is functioning normally or not. To implement testing, an external BERT is needed.

LAN Speed Test V1.0
LAN Speed Test V 1.0 is a FREE utility designed to accurately measure LAN speeds. It does this by writing a file (the user chooses the size) to a folder (chosen by the user), clears windows file cache, reads the file back, clears the cache again, deletes the file, and displays the results. LAN Speed Test V 1.0 is a portable windows application that works with Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, & Windows 7. It can be run from a USB Memory Stick, for example, does not require any installation, does not use DLLs and does not change the Windows Registry. The results provide meaningful results with some limitations. LAN Speed Test V 1.0 can be downloaded from http://www.totusoft.com/downloads.html.
Figure 20-5: LAN Speed Test V 1.0 Screen Snapshot
20.4.2
LAN Speed Test V 2.0
LAN Speed Test V 2.0 is a more advanced, low cost utility, designed to be a rock solid tool to measure your file transfer and network speeds (wired & wireless) easily and accurately. It does this by building a file in memory, then transfers it both ways (without the effects of windows file caching) while keeping track of the time, and then does the calculations. LAN Speed Test 2.0 has a number of advanced features and uses a powerful process to measure your LAN speed that is much faster and more accurate than the free version LAN Speed Test V 1.0. Some of LAN Speed Test v2.0 Features include... Completely portable - No installation needed
Page 87
Small file size of 126KB and can run from a hard drive, USB Flash drives, etc. Compatible with all Windows 2000 & up Very Fast! Most tests are less than 1 minute Test packet sizes up to 9 GB while taking a maximum of just 10 MB of RAM on your system Progress window that displays progress bar and allows user to cancel at any time LST Server support for a more accurate True network speed without hard drive limitations Test WAN speed with LST Server Network Scan with the ability to Ping test any node on the network Log viewing screen with ability to add notes Scheduling runs now an option with logging and new Command Line format Open/Save option to .csv file Individual profiles automatically saved to .ini file to remember all settings Selectable Speed Measurements Command Line Mode which allows Network Administrators to start the test from the client's workstation and view the log file from anywhere on the network.
The results provide highly meaningful results. LAN Speed Test V 2.0 can be downloaded from http://www.totusoft.com/downloads.html.
Figure 20-6: LAN Speed Test V 2.0 Screen Snapshot 20.4.3 LAN Speed Test LST Server
LAN Speed Test LST Server is, low cost utility, providing additional features for LAN Speed Test. By using this configuration the client talks directly to the server through the network with no hard drive limitations.
Page 88
This gives more accurate results of True network performance on the client screen. LST Server also makes it possible to test your WAN connection. Some of LST Server Features include... Completely portable - No installation needed Small file size of 69KB and can run from a hard drive, USB Flash drives, etc. Compatible with all Windows 2000 & up Very easy to use Log Window and logging options Server can handle multiple client connections Server supports multiple NICs (Network Adapters)
It is not necessary to use LST Server, but desirable. Using LAN Speed Test with LST Server writes the test file to the server's memory and takes the hard drive out of the picture for truer network speed results. Using LAN Speed Test without LST Server, writes the test file to another computer's hard drive. Tests will show slower speeds, but is more of a real-world test as most of the time you are writing files to other hard drives (file servers, etc.).
LST Server can be downloaded from http://www.totusoft.com/downloads.html.

MAINTENANCE
After equipment commissioning, no further maintenance by hand is required. After NMS commissioning, the monitoring centre can control the operational status of all of the equipment in the network. The following regular inspections are recommended to ensure long life system performance. Antenna systems should be inspected once a year by qualified personnel to verify proper installation, maintenance, and the condition of equipment. This should include a comparison of the RSL with the RSL as noted in the Commissioning Document. Note that for this comparison, weather conditions should be similar to those at the time of installation. The Station and System Grounds should be inspected every 12 months for integrity and low ground resistance. Periodically check for proper connection and tightening of all cables and mounting fixtures. Make sure that the ATL-GX ODU has not been damaged, disassembled or otherwise tampered with, and remains properly grounded as described in the previous sections. Cleaning the surface of the equipment regularly to remove dust and other deposits like salt for example, to ensure the normal operation and prolonging the useful life of the equipment. The Surge Arrestors are designed to be sacrificial. Inspect the Surge Arrestor devices for integrity. Replace any that do not meet electrical specifications or appear suspect on physical examination. The installation location for ATL-GX ODU should remain well ventilated.
ATECIL disclaims any liability or responsibility for the results of improper or unsafe installation practices.
The ATL-GX IDU and ODU have no user serviceable parts internally. In the event of a hardware fault, the faulty unit must be replaced with a known functional unit and returned to ATECIL for repair.
