Warning for com port on laptop

If you need 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 difference of ground potential could
damage the serial port of the PC and (or) the serial interface of the IDU.

the Tx Power data with the ATPC in Disable mode with the Maximum power transmission.
19. For system in 1+1 configuration, check and set the BB on line on the system 1 (main)
20. Disconnect the PC and move to opposite station
Station B
21. Repeat the entire above step in Station B.
22. At the end of all system checks and configuration start with the Alignment phase
23. After the alignment verify the Prx Value (from LCT SW) and verify that value is under the
project specification.
24. With a properly map file (with both extremity IP address NE), verify the connection with both
Network Element (local and remote station).
25. Proceed with all Local and Link Line-up test (refer to the field commissioning tests sheets).
26. Proceed with all Local and Link Commissioning test (refer to the field commissioning tests
sheets).

For ODU ND the Modulation Index
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

Suggested IP for a stand-alone link scenario
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:

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 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)

Remote connection
When the link is properly configured and aligned verify from the local station the access to the remote
station.
In order to does this build a new map and open it with the LCT SW.
To build a new map use the SW Net Builder included in the Radio Management applications.
Connect the PC with the dial up connection and run the Local Craft Terminal application.
Load the new map (example "radio.Map") created with Net builder and check if the remote/local
element connection is available (the related icon of remote/local station appear colored) or unavailable
(the icons appear grey).

6. System Line Up and Commissioning

The Line Up test is a system control in order to verify if all configuration and functionality of equipment
working properly.
We divide this test in local check and hop check.
The local check is fundamentally the control of all setting and local functionality of system (ex. Local
Loop). The hop check is the control of the main Link functionality (system tests).
For Line test use the same testing reported in the Field commissioning Test Sheets.
Note that
Note that the Field commissioning tests sheets documents are composed by different protocols
documents related to the IDU Type and the Tributary access unit type.
To use the documents correctly, refer to the following table:

The properly process for all activities of Line Up and Commissioning are:
Use the Common Acceptance document to check the main system configuration and the
Network parameter.
Identify the related Add On document in order to continue with the controls and testing
activities
Fill all data request on the acceptance protocol documents, to perform in the next step the
testing with the customer (commissioning).
At the end of Commissioning fill the Acceptance Cover document.

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.

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.
Using the performance analysis from LCT (or Netviewer)
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.

6.2.7.Testing on ETH port

For ETH port in case of data tributaries card (available only for Plug In IDU) is suggested in field only
a functional tests in order to check the access functionality.
For this test is necessary 2 laptop (one for each station) connected on the ETH port under test.
The test consists in:
Ping test between two computer

FTP functional test between two computer
For other test (and related tests instrument) refer to the particulars requirement on the project
specification.
6.2.7.1.
Ping test
Purpose of this test is verifying the basic communication between ETH interfaces in both stations.
Use the test bench indicate in the next figure:
Station B
Station A
On both Laptops, configure a valid IP Address in the same sub network (example 10.10.10.2 and
10.10.10.4).
To configure the IP addresses search the properties of ETH card and on the Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) properties set the address (with the same Net mask).
Open the windows DOS prompt and write the following command:
ping x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the remote computer.
If the communication is established there is reply information from the remote PC.
Apply the test from station A to B and from B to A.
Note that to apply this test is suitable disable the firewall installed on the PC (if there are).

FTP Transfer Test
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:
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.
Select Add/Remove Windows Components.
In the Windows Components Wizard, check if the Internet Information Services (IIS), are
installed then click Details. If not, install this service.
In the details of ISS Services, verify if the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Service is installed. If
not provide to install them.
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.
