In the Continuous mode the frequency value are entered directly in KHz.
In the Freq Plan mode enter the Freq Plan value (Channel ID), preset the values of the first
channel ID and last channel ID (see the OMN manual for more info).
Note that the Frequency Plan modality, allows determining the transmission frequency with the
number ID of the channel.
To use this modality, it is necessary to define the frequency plan intended to be used.
In particular, it is necessary to specify the identifier (numeric) of the first ID and last ID channel
intended to be used, the frequency transmission of the first channel and the spacing among the
different channels.
Note that if any frequency and power value is setting on the ODU, the system indicates a status ODU
Check in progress.
Particular attention for the ODU type HP/HD, in any case set the ATPC data in particularly the Pmin
value:
Even the ATPC functionality is not used (Disable Status), Set Pmin = 5dBm

Related to the ODU type, is necessary inserting other data on the ODU field. In particulars:
Field in case of
HP / HD ODUs
If the ODU is a ND, the user has to set the assigning mode of the modulation index (Modulation
Index parameter on the ODU Configuration Field), which depends on the type of equipped Access
unit (NxE1/DATA or NxT1 or 1xE3) select the assignment mode of the modulation index; the possible
options are the following ones:
ETSI: modulation index for ETSI standard
ANSI: modulation index for ANSI standard
Free: free modulation index; for each system capacity the modulation index is manually assigned
In case of standard E1 Access Unit, the default Modulation Index value is ETSI. In any case refer to
the project specification for other value.
When the Free option has been set, the system activates the Modulation Index push-button that
allows displaying the configuration window of the modulation index for the different system capacities
Warning:
The modulation index value must be set with the same value for all Odus and both station.

In a stand-alone link scenario it is not necessary to define an IP planning, it is necessary to set only
two valid IP addresses:
Use this Net mask on both radios 255.255.255.0 (same value for both stations)
Use this IP address 150.166.X.Y
Where:
X identifies the site: the station where the radio is located.
In a link, the two radios are in different sites, so they must have different X values (1<X<254).
Y identifies the specific IDU located in the site X. (1<Y<254) (recommended even number).
Suggested IP Address for stands alone Link:

Note that the above mentioned rules are only indicative, for different rule refer to the IP plan of project.
In case in the Network Planning Project are not ready, build a provisional the Network Planning using
the following rules.
Is possible different Network scenario, related to the type of Network equipment or Installation material
defined in the project.
See next example of provisional Network configuration to apply in field:
Note that in any cases:
The controller must have a valid IP network address.
If there is a network plan for the management system, insert the IP addresses as it has been foreseen
If it has not been defined a network plan, insert the IP addresses as pointed out here below:
Use NETMASK 255.255.255.0 into every radio
Use IP address 10.10.X.Y, where X identifies the station (1 < X < 254) and Y identifies the network
element into the station (1 < Y < 254 only even values)
In any case consider that for the provisional connection use Max 64 NE.
In any case refer to the UMN / OMN and installation manual for more details.

In the Station B repeat all the above configuration steps before to start the Antenna Alignment
5.15.
Antenna Alignment
In order to start the alignment phase, verify that the ATPC status is disabled and the power is set with
the maximum power. The values of the Nominal setting value depend to the ODU type and frequency
range. Apply this setting in both stations.
Connect the Multimeter on the properly BNC connector on the ODU Main (is suggested an analogic
multimeter type ICE).
Start with the antenna adjustment following the indication reported in the properly Procedure and in to
the installation information on the antenna supplier (Andrew, Comelit etc)
After the alignment verify with the Prx Value check (from LCT SW) and verify that the systems are
under the project specification.
Remember this consideration:
a. The VAGC range is between -3.4 V and 1.2 V (typical values) for PRX values between -30
dBm and -75 dBm, according to a linear law with rate of about 0.5 V for 10 dB.
b. The difference between the nominal value and guaranteed for Transmission Power is 2 dB
(consider 2 dB tolerance for PTx value).
c. The accuracy of Prx value depend to the ODU type, referrer to the UMN Manual for the Prx
value accuracy (about 2,5 dB)

Apply the local Loop Back for each tributary, and verify on the DDF side, the proper return of E1
signal.
With a 2 Mb/s BER Test instrument check the correct insertion for all 2 Mb/s, to and from DDF and
verify that no errors occur.
Note that; apply the loop back on both BB or on the on line BB.
Perform the test for all tributaries connected to the DDF and all enabled tributary (depend to the
installation project and equipment license).
Note that; the Loop Back is affected on the Radio Interface and only for connected tributary on
the cross connection matrix (for local loop) and enabled tributary (for remote loop).

Check the Prx value in the local station, from main menu, Measurements > View
On the Theoretical Nominal Received Signal row, insert the value calculated from the Path
calculation (if available).
On the Readed Received Power PC row, insert the value showed on IDU from the LCT SW.
Note that the value showed on PC has a tolerance at about 3 dB.
The values of Prx are applicable only in case of normal propagation condition, without interference /
fading and with the MW link in complete path clearance.
Verify that both Prx values are under the project specification.
Note that;
For system 1+1 FD the Rx value must be the same (within the equipment tolerance, indicate in the
field test sheets).
For system 1+1 HSTBY with unbalanced Mounting Kit the Rx value for ODU 2 (Stand-By Channel)
must be 10 11 dB lower than the ODU 1 (Main) (refer to the mounting frame data sheet).

This test is referred only for system in protected configuration (1+1 Hot Stand By or 1+1 FD)
Use a BER test instrument (see previous test bench for remote loop backs tests) and verify that traffic
restores after the BB (or ODU) / Channel switching manual forced operation (is suitable a HW Loop on
DDF in the remote side).
Note that;
For IDU Plug In the BB (or ODU) switch is not hitless (errors-free), consequently when the
system switch from main to Stand By and vice versa, sync loss and a burst of errors will occur.
The Channel Manual switch is Hitless.
For IDU Single Board in any case the ODU manual switch is not hitless.
Only for reference identify the Transmission channel status with the BB Switch status Column and Rx
Switch with the BB Channel On Line Column.
The Tx and Rx switch test are available only for Plug in version.
For Single board version the available protection system is only in Hot Stand by mode; in this case the
switch mode is for all ODU, for Single Board ODU the applicable field is only the Manual Forced ODU.

In order to verify the ATPC feature, set in both station, the Tx Power Setting field with ATPC
Management value in Enabled status. Verify (with a properly value of ATPC Threshold and P-min
Start value) if the Prx signal change related to the configuration of threshold and P-min Status value.
Return to the value of P-min Start with the nominal Tx power and set the ATPC Management in
Disabled status. Verify that the Prx value return with a nominal value.
Note that, this checking mode of ATPC, is only a functional way to verify the ATPC response. The test
applicabilitys depend to the Nominal Prx value on the Link.
Remember that; if the Prx value is related to Local Station, the Ptx setting must be change in
the remote station. For more information related the ATPC functions, refer to the UNM and
OMN Manual. Remember that in case of 1+1 HSTBY system is the BB active the reference for
the ATPC Management command.
At the end of test, set the ATPC status related to the project specification.

Is possible apply the Background BER Test (or performance measurements) with different mode:
Using a PDH BER test instrument
Using the performance analysis from LCT (or Netviewer)
Using the commissioning report application, from LCT SW.
Is suggested use the above mentioned method in alternative (except particulars project specifications
requirements).
The BER test with using the LCT SW is in alternative to the test instrument test. In any case the
use of test instrument is suitable for local testing of tributaries.
For background BER test with the test instrument, use the test bench showed in next figure and set
the BER Test instrument with the following basic setting parameter:
Bit Rate: 2048 Mb/s
Pattern Type: Unframed
PRBS Word: Minimal PRBS 2 15.
Station A
Station B
To verify the quality of the Link make a BER test on one tributary chose from customer.
Connect the BER Test Instrument and your computer in the station B. With the LCT SW open the NE
Element corresponding to the Station A and set "enabled" the Remote Loop in the first tributary
(otherwise if another operator in station A is available, plug a hardware Loop on DDF).
Verify that the Link working on the main BB and channel.

The Long Term B.E.R. Test should be done to the main Channel and the result should be better then
10 10. Run this test for at least minimal 2 hour.
The Short Term B.E.R. Test should be done to the reserve Channel (if equipped). This test should be
run for some minutes with no errors.
For Nx2 Mb/s make the test on one E1 channel chose by the costumer.
This test should be done under normal propagation conditions.
For the background BER test using the SW application, refer to the OMN manual to properly setting of
quality parameter.
Note that to start a recording from SW is necessary a permanent connection with the PC.
Its also possible from SW to retrieve the status of Link quality in the last 4 Hours (15 minutes step) or
in the last 4 day (day by day). In this case the control from equipment is permanent.
The measurements must be done in normal propagation conditions
Using the SW application, the system perform a analysis using the ITU-T G.826 recommendation.
The Rec. G.826 foresees that the calculation of the quality parameters is based upon the counting of
the errored blocks.
For the SRAL XD, the frame of the aggregate radio signal (proprietary format) has been made
equivalent with a block.
The performance monitoring is executed only on point-point hops and it is realized according to the
base of the direct measurement of the detected errored blocks.
The performance data are the following ones:
UAS (Number of Seconds of Unavailability): it provides the unavailability seconds of the
connection into a specified observation period.
SES (Number of Severely Errored Seconds): it represents the seconds during which it is
present one of the following conditions:
o percentage of errored blocks equal to or higher than 30%
o presence of at least a special event called defect (the classification of the defects
for the PDH systems is the following one: Loss of Signal (LOS), Alarm Indication
Signal (AIS), Loss of Frame Alignment (LOF)).
ES (Number of Errored Seconds): it represents the seconds during which it is present at least
one errored block.
BBE (Number of Background Block Errors): it represents the number of errored blocks into a
not SES second.
OI (Number of Outage Intensity): it is the number of unavailability events into a defined
observation interval.

To apply this test is necessary provide to install in the computers the FTP Server and FTP Client
Application.
In basic, the PC where is installed and configured the FTP server application, is the computer where is
locate the DB archive to download. The PC used to access on the server is the Client.
The test bench for this test is the same used for the ping test. In any case the purpose of this check, is
only a functional test to verify if the transfer files between a Server and Client working properly using
the ETH port of SRAL XD system.
Note that to apply this test is suitable disable the firewall installed on the PC (if there are).
It is possible apply the test with a external SW (Server and Client FTP applications) or using a internal
feature of windows (Win 2000 or Windows XP prof.).
Server configuration:
Because FTP depends on Internet Information Services (IIS), you must first make sure that IIS is
properly installed and configured to apply a Server FTP application. To install IIS and the FTP service
is necessary the Windows installation CD ROM.
To check if the IIS Service is installed verify:
Remember that after the installation of FTP Server Service you need to configure a Virtual Route for
file transfer and configure a properly User authorization to FTP access (for this test is suggested a
anonymous access).
In order to configure this Item refer to Windows Help or to the Service Administrator.
