1.6. Cautions to avoid equipment damage
a ) Unit assemblies
Each of the IDU MAIN UNIT and IDU EXTENSION UNIT is assembled inside its own box and must be
considered an unique item from the service and maintenance points of view. Such an assembly is
supplied by Alcatel as it is and must never be disassembled, with the exception of plug-in
installation (described in the Technical Handbook).
b ) Antistatic protection device kit
Whenever is necessary to handle spare parts and boards out of their own box, this kit must be always
warn and its termination must be connected to a grounded structure, to avoid the possible damage of
the electronic devices for electrostatic discharges.
ELASTICIZED BAND
COILED CORD
Figure 1 - Antistatic protection device kit
c ) Screw fixing
In normal operation conditions, all screws (for unit box closing, cable fixing, etc.) must be always
tightened to avoid item detachment and to ensure the equipment EMI-EMC performance.
The screw tightening torque must be:
2.8 kg x cm (0.28 Newton x m) +/- 10 %
2.4317 in lb (0.2026 ft lb) +/- 10 %
Exceeding this value may result in screw breaking.
d ) IDU-ODU cable disconnection / connection
Before to disconnect or connect the IDU-ODU cable (at IDU or ODU side) switch off the corresponding
IDU Main Unit or IDU Extension Unit.
e ) Craft Terminal connection
To connect the CT cable (at IDU Main Units F or OS Ethernet interface and/or PC side):
verify that the PC is switched off (if switched on, close all running applications, then switch off it)
connect suitable cable to IDU Main Units F or OS Ethernet interface and PC side
now the PC can be safely switched on.
f ) Craft Terminal disconnection
To disconnect the CT cable (at IDU Main Units F or OS Ethernet interface and/or PC side):
perform the logoff, exiting from the CT applications
close all other running applications, if any
switch off the PC
now the cable can be safely disconnected.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
The 9400 AWY is a family of digital Point to Point microwave radio systems covering the frequency range
from 13 GHz to 38 GHz, consisting of an Indoor Unit (IDU) providing the baseband processing and
tributaries interfaces as well as service channel and supervision, and an Outdoor Unit (ODU)
IDU and ODU are connected with a single standard coaxial cable (up to 300 meters / 985 ft) carrying the
main traffic, the remote power supply voltage for the ODU and auxiliary information.
The ODU (one or two depending on the configuration 1+0 or 1+1) incorporates the complete RF
transceiver and can be associated with an integrated 30 cm, 60 cm, 90 cm or 120 cm (1, 2, 3 or 4 ft)
antenna or separate antenna, if a larger diameter is needed. The ODU is capacityindependent and
consists of a single cabinet (size and weight independent on frequency) with a solar shield. The pole
mounting is the same for 1+0 or 1+1 configurations from 7/8 to 38 GHz.

The first step provides a screen to configure two NE parameters:
- Market: (ETSI or ANSI; NB: for ANSI refer to para.1.4 Additional feature and SWP-version
relationship on page 7);
The market choice implies a first selection of possible frame structure.
- Type: The possible selections for the NE Type are:
- 1+0 (PSU24 or PSU4860 or PSU2460): Unprotected configuration
- 1+1 HSB (PSU24 or PSU4860 or PSU2460): Hot Standby protected configuration
- 1+1 FD (PSU24 or PSU4860 or PSU2460): Frequency Diversity protected configuration
NB: for PSU2460 refer to para.1.4 Additional feature and SWP-version relationship on page 7.
Each of these three possible types is available with the following tributaries:
- 8E1/DS1
- 8E1/DS1_ETH (2 User Ethernet ports)
- 16E1/DS1
- 1E3/DS3
To go to step 2 click on button Next >
