Eclipse from Stratex Networks is the first microwave radio to integrate all
point-to-point applications in a single product platform. Eclipse changes the way
networks are planned, deployed and maintained, dramatically reducing the total
cost of using microwave backhaul. Its highly scalable, software-configurable
architecture gives operators complete control of changing conditions and future
network needs, all with minimal cost and service disruption.
Eclipse is unique in providing single-platform coverage for all licensed
frequency bands from 5 to 38 GHz with capacities from 4xE1/DS1 to 2xSTM1/
OC3, plus Fast Ethernet. Eclipse is first to combine PDH and SONET
applications in one radio. Figure 1 shows the two types of hardware available
with the Eclipse platform.

Eclipse Components
The Eclipse platform has two primary variants and each is used for a specific
application.
Eclipse Terminal
• Uses simple Indoor Unit (IDU), 8E1 QPSK or

16E1 QPSK
• Single board, non-modular design
• Supports single Outdoor Unit (ODU 100) for
terminal configurations only
• Can be traditional point-to-point radio with an
Indoor Unit (IDU) and ODU 100 at each end of
a link
• Low to medium capacity with software
capacity selection
• Non-protected configurations only
Eclipse Node
• Uses modular Intelligent Node Unit (INU or

INUe)
• Highly scalable capacity architecture
• Optimized node terminating several radio paths
• Multiple ODU support with built-in traffic
routing
• Reduction of rack space and tributary cabling
The Eclipse Node uses a modular chassis with multiple plug-ins that have the
ability to support multiple radio paths and add/drop capability in the one chassis.
An Eclipse platform using the Indoor Node Unit (INU) or Indoor Node Unit
extended (INUe) is called an Eclipse Node. The INU comprises the Indoor
Chassis (IDC) and the (INUe) comprises the Indoor Chassis extended (IDCe).

Both the INU and INUe are supplied with Node Control Card (NCC) and Fan
plug-in(s). The additional plug-ins are the Node Protection Controller (NPC),
RAC, DAC, and AUX plug-ins.
The Eclipse Node supports the ODU 100 and ODU 300. The ODU 100 supports
capacities of 4x E1 to 16x E1 with QPSK modulation only. The ODU 300
supports capacities from 4x E1 to 2x STM1with varying modulation options
from QPSK to 256 QAM.
Indoor and Outdoor Unit Compatibility

The Eclipse platforms are made up of indoor and outdoor units that are used
together to offer different capabilities as shown in Figure 1-3.
Figure 1-3. Indoor and Outdoor Unit Compatibility
Module Functions
Table 1-3 explains the function of the two chassis, the Eclipse plug-ins, and the
ODUs.
Table 1-3. Functional Description of Each Module
Item Functional Description
Terminal
IDU The IDU is a 1RU chassis for data rates from 4 to 16xE1 with QPSK modulation. It is for
non-protected operation only and requires the ODU 100. Two versions are provided, one for 4/
8xE1, and one for 4/8/16xE1.
POG-000002-001 Rev 003 December 2004 1-7

Item Functional Description
Node
INU The INU is a 1RU chassis (the IDC) fitted with mandatory plug-ins (one NCC and one FAN)
plus optional plug-ins. It supports up to three ODUs for three non-protected links, or one
protected/diversity link and one non-protected link.
INUe The INUe is a 2RU chassis (the IDCe) fitted with slots for three mandatory plug-ins (one NCC
and two Fans) and ten optional plug-ins. It supports up to six ODUs for six non-protected links,
or up to three protected/diversity links.
NCC V2 The NCC performs the key node management and control functions and provides various dc
rails from the -48Vdc input. The NCC includes a plug-in flash card that stores node
configuration detail and license data. One NCC must be fitted in each chassis (IDC/IDCe).
NPC The NPC provides redundancy for the TDM bus management and power supply functions
normally provided by the NCC.
RAC A chassis may be fitted with a maximum of three RACs, and up to six for the IDCe. Each RAC
interfaces to a companion ODU via a single 50ohm coaxial cable. For most installations the
RAC 30 card is used, which provides access to all rates from 4xE1 to 1xSTM1/OC3. Other
RACs support specific applications, such as the ODU 100, capacity and bandwidth options
greater than 30 Mhz (2xSTM1/OC3), higher multiples of E3 and DS3 rates, and co-channel
operation.
DAC The DAC provides customer line interface options for E1, E3, DS1, DS3, STM1/OC3, and
Ethernet.
AUX The AUX provides auxiliary data channels and alarm inputs/outputs for third-party alarm
connections.
Outdoor Units
ODU 100 The ODU 100 supports capacities from 4 to 16xE1 the frequency range from 7 to 23 GHz. The
modulation is QPSK. It is used with the INU or IDU to provide an economical solution for
medium capacity spur links and non-protected single links.
ODU 300 The ODU 300 supports all capacities from 4xE1/DS1 to 2xSTM1/OC3, with bandwidths from
3.5 to 56 MHz and modulation rates from QPSK to 256QAM. It is used with the INU or INUe
only.
Because of the complexity of a typical node network and the number of nodes
typically used in a network, a configuration tool, Focus NC, has been created that
automatically configures the required nodes with the required plug-ins when the
capacity, frequency, modulation, and add/drop configurations have been
determined for each node/site. For more information refer to Focus NC on
page 2-3.

Eclipse Configurations
Non-Protected (NN)
A non-protected terminal, also known as 1+0, is a configuration in which there is
a single transmission path without redundancy of any kind. An NN terminal has a
single ODU and RAC or IDU. In this configuration any traffic-affecting fault in
either of these units will result in a loss of traffic over the link. An NN
configuration is normally chosen when traffic is non-critical or when path
redundancy is available (due to route/medial diversity rings).
Protected (HH)
A protected terminal, also known as 1+1, provides two redundant transmission
paths, but only one is active at any one time. A hot standby (HH) terminal
consists of two ODUs and two RACs. Each transceiver operates on a single
frequency, with the online transmitter active while the offline unit is operational
with the transmitter muted. With the offline transmitter constantly on, traffic can
be restored in a matter of milliseconds if the online unit fails, without any
warm-up time. In the receive path, the incoming signal is split between the two
receivers. The system software automatically selects the receiver with the better
quality signal. An HH configuration is normally chosen when traffic carried is
critical in nature.
Protected Space Diversity (HS)

Space Diversity is a special equipment configuration used to reduce the adverse
effects caused by multi-path fading. As this only occurs at lower frequencies, this
feature is offered in frequencies from 5 to 15 GHz. The diversity operation is
realized by receiving the same signal using two antennas, spatially separated
(vertically). Each antenna is connected to a receiver. The better quality signal is
then selected in the RAC, based upon bit error rate (BER).
The decision to deploy HS depends upon path analysis of the link, and is
influenced by the path length, terrain type and variation, geographical location,
and link availability target. Space diversity comes at the expense of additional
cost and tower loading of the second, diversity receive antenna.
Protected Space Diversity (HS) is not applicable to the RAC10 as it does not
have a hitless receiver.
POG-000002-001 Rev 003 December 2004 1-9

Protected Frequency Diversity (FF)

Frequency diversity is a dual-frequency protected configuration, which provides
protection against multi-path fading (although less than that provided by space
diversity), but requires the use of a single antenna. In FF configuration, the main
and redundant radio paths operate on different frequencies, with path selection
made again between the two received signals. There is no transmitter switch.
Since an additional frequency is needed in addition to the main traffic channel,
FF is often not permitted in regions that experience frequency band congestion.
The Eclipse FF configuration is available in a standard configuration using an
ODU coupler or an antenna that will accept two waveguide feeds.
Protected Frequency Diversity (FF) is not applicable to the RAC10 as it does not
have a hitless receiver.
Dual Capacity Non-Protected, 2+0 Adjacent Channel

Operation
The architecture of the Eclipse Node enables a dual-path configuration where one
of the paths is on a different polarization or an adjacent channel.
With the 2+0 configuration, the Eclipse is able to provide up to 2xSTM1, from a
single IDU, dual ODUs and a dual-pole antenna. Higher capacity capability can
be simply achieved by upgrading existing 1+0 or 1+1 terminals to 2+0.
Dual Capacity 2+0, 2+2, and 4+0 Co-Channel

Operation (CCDP)
The Eclipse Node supports co-channel, dual-polarized operation to provide
double the capacity over the same path, on the same frequency channel, by
deploying separate radio paths on vertical and horizontal polarizations.
This is achieved with the RAC 40 plug-in, which incorporates a
Cross-Polarization Interference Cancellation (XPIC) to improve polarization
discrimination. The RAC 40 operates with the ODU 300, for bandwidth options
up to 30 MHz (as for the RAC 30), to support capacities up to 64xE1, 84xDS1,
4xE3, 3xDS3 and STM1/OC3. With co-channel operation, this capacity support
is doubled over the same frequency channel.
The only limitations to the Eclipse architecture is the TDM backplane maximum
capacity of 100 x E1, 128 x DS1 or 2 x STM1. Maximum capacity of each radio
path when in a single chassis is therefore 50 x E1, 64 x DS1 or 1 x STM1 over
each individual path when in 2+0 operation.

When higher capacity is required on the overall path, dual INU or INUe chassis
can be used to increase the overall capacity so each combined path can have a
maximum capacity of 128 x E1, 168 x DS1 or 2 x STM1. Protecting any of the
paths requires duplicate RAC 40 plug-ins, ODU 300s and couplers on each
antenna. With the use of dual chassis and four pairs of RAC40 and ODU 300 the
platform will support up to 4+0 STM1 in one direction.
For detailed information concerning CCDP configurations, refer to the white

paper, Eclipse Co-Channel Operation.This document is available in PDF on the
Stratex Intranet: www.go-stratex.com
Eclipse Backplane Capacity and Configuration

To understand the Eclipse TDM bus and the capabilities of the node an
understanding of the backplane is recommended.

Chapter 2. Ordering Eclipse
Equipment
General Information
Type Approval
The Eclipse platform has extensive international approvals in place, but you must
ensure that the equipment is “Type Approved” for the country of deployment.
Most countries require microwave radio equipment to be “Type Approved” by
the National Regulator before equipment can be deployed. In many cases
licenses for operating frequencies cannot be obtained without an Approval
Reference.
To ascertain the Eclipse approval status for your specific requirement, please
contact Regulatory and Compliance manager (Product Management) or the
nearest Stratex Networks office or representative.
Acceptance of an order does not bind Stratex Networks to obtaining necessary
Approvals (if these are not already in place) in a country unless this has been
previously agreed.
Availability and Rollout

Availability is communicated in the product road map, available on the Stratex
Networks Intranet. Availability and Roll Out (ARO) and lead-time dates are
detailed in Focus and Siebel.
Inclusion of equipment in this manual does not indicate it is currently available,
as new products are included in Focus and Siebel three months prior to initial
availability.
Eclipse Ordering Tools
Siebel is the sales tool used when ordering Eclipse equipment, and it is always
used when placing an order. However, because of the complex nature of many
networks, a network configuration tool, Focus, has been created.
In general, if a network has less than 5 links then Siebel can be used by itself. If a
network has more than 5 links, the configuration should be modelled in Focus
first, and then migrated into Siebel for the actual ordering. A broader description
of the system’s limits is given in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1. Sales Tool To Use When Ordering Eclipse Equipment
Focus NC
Focus NC (Network Configurator) is the primary tool for configuring networks
when quoting Eclipse Nodes.
Focus NC is designed to facilitate customer understanding of the Eclipse product
and create order quotes. It simplifies planning, and enables you to intuitively
plan, visualize and optimize your network, leading to cost savings and faster
installation. Focus's unique guides, wizards and click-and-drag user interfaces
allow you to create or upgrade an Eclipse node network, and produces the
following:
• Eclipse Product Preview
• Budgetary Quote
• Detailed Quote
Quote Type Description
Eclipse Product Preview Displays all existing Eclipse configurations that are
contained within the published roadmap document.
This allows the user/customer to fully explore the
flexibility they have available to them with Eclipse.
Price List reports can be created for information
purposes. However it is not possible to export any
items into .csv files for import into Siebel.
Budgetary Allows you to create quotes that contain a mix of

released and non-released items. Released items
(including those scheduled for release through June
2004) can be selected in fully configurable parts,
whereas configurations that will be released after June
are selected via the 'M' numbers, for example
[M-EDH-13-0266]. You can create a .csv file within
this screen that allows you to import your quote details
into Siebel. Model numbers are used for forecasting
but are not transferred to Oracle.1
Detailed Allows you to configure a network using released

configurations (including those scheduled for release
through June 2004). Model part numbers are
displayed within this screen. The configuration
wizards ensure that only fully released parts are
loaded onto your quote and that the .csv file created
contains only parts that can also flow through Siebel
into Oracle, when ordered.1
1. Oracle is the material resource system used when an order is placed.

Features include the generation of the following reports:
• Parts list by network and site
• Network spares and site accessories selection
• Network quote estimates/budgetary quotes
• Bill of Material reports
Focus NC enables a user with a basic understanding of the Eclipse platform to
design a complex network with many of the advanced features of which the
Eclipse platform is capable.
The configuration rules built into Focus NC enable the user maximum flexibility
to deploy complex networks while Focus NC automatically configures the nodes
with the required plug-in licenses and accessories required on a site-by-site basis.
Focus NC is designed to enable our customers to experience the flexibility of the
Eclipse product line as they work their way through the Product Preview modes
up to the preparation of the parts required to complete a detailed quote.
After the network has been created and saved as an XML file it can be shared
with other Focus NC users so the network can be edited to achieve the desired
technical solution. Focus NC tabulates and displays the required Eclipse parts,
recommended accessories, spares, and optional accessories. When required a .csv
file can be generated within the Budgetary Quote and Detailed Quote Modes and
imported into Siebel.
The following figures illustrate a network built within Focus.

For detailed information concerning the use of the Focus NC refer to the
Focus NC 2.0 User Guide.pdf. This is bundled with the Focus NC tool available
from www.go-stratex.com.
For ordering examples of an Eclipse Node, refer to Appendix A.
Siebel
The Siebel sales tool has an inbuilt parts selector that can be used to manually
select Eclipse equipment on an item-by-item basis. All of the available hardware
is available in the explorer tree, and application notes and information is
available in the Literature section of the primary tasks tab.
Because of the complex nature of the Eclipse Nodes, the Siebel inbuilt parts
selector should be used only when ordering small numbers of Nodes, Terminals,
or accessories to complement an existing node network.
Figure 2-6. Inbuilt Parts Selector - Explorer Tree
Siebel has been upgraded to import complete networks from the Focus NC,
eliminating the need to manually configure each item line by line. Once a
budgetary quote has been created in Focus NC, it can be imported into Siebel.
Figure 2-7. The Siebel - Import Option
The Import button pulls the saved .csv format file from the Siebel folder and
imports the line items into the quote; depending on the size of the network this
can take several minutes.
Figure 2-8. The Imported Quote In Siebel
Choosing Eclipse Equipment

The first consideration is to determine the required system parameters. Next is
whether the network requires low-capacity terminal equipment, or a
high-capacity, ring or protected node solution, or a combination of equipment.
Determining the System Parameters

When ordering an Eclipse Terminal or Node system the following basic
parameters must be known:
• Frequency band and applicable sub-band
• Equipment configuration
NN, HH, HS, FF, 2+0 or 4+0
• ]Network topology when deploying nodes
HH, HS, FF or Ring protection
• Transmit to Receive spacing
• Which sites will be Hi or Lo Band?
• Add/drop capacity required at each site
Tributary, Ethernet, or both?
• Tributary interface and backplane configuration
E1, DS1, or STM1
For an ordering example for an Eclipse Node using Focus NC, refer to
Appendix A.
A confirmed order must include the required frequency/sub-band information.
Eclipse Terminal Equipment

The Eclipse Terminal equipment is best suited for non-critical, low-capacity
traffic usually at the outer edges of an Eclipse node network.
Figure 2-9. Eclipse Terminal
The Eclipse Terminal consists of an Indoor Unit and an ODU: each Terminal is
one end of a non-protected link. The IDU capacity is either 4/8E1 QPSK or
4/8/16E1 QPSK using an ODU 100.

Eclipse Node Equipment

The Eclipse Node equipment consists of an INU or INUe that is the heart of the
modular system as well as ODU(s) that form the split-mount architecture. An
INU will typically support a DAC, RAC (+ODU) and have enough room for
another RAC (+ODU) and an NPC if required. The base price of an INUe is only
18% more than the standard INU so if there is any possibility of significant
expansion in the Node this should be considered.

Eclipse Platform Upgrades

The architecture and modular approach of the Eclipse platform is ideally suited to
an evolving network as it grows to support customer and technology demands.
The following examples detail what additional license and modules are required.
Increasing the DAC capacity from DAC 4x to DAC 16x, assuming a base
license is used, requires the following:
Component Qty
DAC16x 1
EZA-00002 SW License, E1, 1RAC 16X, 5RAC 8X 1

Adding protection to a simple Eclipse Node (NN to HH) requires the
following:
Component Qty
RAC (The same as currently installed) 1
ODU (The same as currently installed) 1
Coupler that is frequency specific 1
IDU to ODU cable kit of the same length as currently installed. 1
RAC/IDU to ODU Surge Protection Kit 1
License upgrade: to match the current RAC capacity of the same path. 1
Adding protection to a simple Eclipse Node (NN to HS or FF) requires the

following:
Component Qty
RAC (The same as currently installed) 1
ODU (The same as currently installed) 1
Antenna (The same as currently installed) 1
IDU to ODU cable kit of the same length as currently installed. 1
RAC/IDU to ODU Surge Protection Kit 1
License upgrade (Must match the current RAC capacity of the same 1
path.)
If the installation is a remote mount, the following is required:
Component Qty
Remote Mount Kit 1
Waveguide (Must be the same as is currently installed.) 1

Ordering Eclipse Spares
Hardware
The modular approach of the Eclipse platform means that the overall amount of
spares required for even quite complex networks are quite low as many modules
are common to each node such as the Chassis, the NCC, the DAC, and RAC
modules.
It is recommended that even for very small networks at least one module (DAC,
RAC, and both ODUs (Tx High and Tx Low)) are ordered to ensure that if faults
occur the fault can be quickly remedied.
Focus will automatically calculate a number of spares based on the expected
MTBF of the module type and the size of the network. A module is an ODU,
chassis, or any plug-in such as a RAC, DAC, AUX, or NPC.
Component Less than 100 of the 100 to 500 of the same 500 to 1000 of the
same module module same module
IDC Chassis 1.00% 1.00% 0.50%
RAC, DAC, and AUX 2.00% 1.00% 0.50%
NCC and NPC 3.00% 2.00% 1.00%
Any ODU 4.00% 2.00% 1.00%
For a network of 25 Nodes it is recommended that the following spares be

purchased:
Component Qty Network Size
IDC Chassis 1 (or an IDC and an IDCe if both are used) (25+ in the network)
Each type of RAC and DAC 1 (50+ of each in the network)

module used
NCC and NPC 1 (25+ of each in the network)
ODUs 2 (or enough ODUs to cover all of the (50+ of different types)
available variants)
Flashcards and Licenses
The correct part number for the spare flashcards is given in the following table.
Focus recommends a spare flash card for each spare NCC card by default. When
configuring quotes via the Siebel parts selector, spare licenses need to be added
manually.
Description Part Number Qty
INU/INUe Flash Card (with base license) EZE-00001 1
Replacing Damaged Flashcards

When you need to deploy a spare flash card in the field, you must request an
upgrade via the help desk, for the spare card as it must be shipped at default
capacity (at $1).
To process a flash card upgrade request the help desk requires:
• the flash card serial number for the damaged card
• the faulty flash card returned within 30 days (or you will be billed for the license
upgrade).
Eclipse Packaging
With the Eclipse platform being very modular the same approach has been used
for packaging to give flexibility to how it can be packaged and distributed to the
customer and then to each site.
An Eclipse order will typically ship to a customer in four different box types:
• A bulk-shipping box (BSB) containing up to ten NCC modules or a mix of
twenty DAC, RAC, AUX or NPC modules that can be configured and then
dispatched to each site.
• An ODU box that is robust enough to be shipped directly to site.
• An INU or INUe box that is robust enough to be shipped to site as is: or when
fully configured with DAC, RAC, AUX and NPC modules.
• An Accessory box that will contain the required accessories for the installation.
Once a shipment of Eclipse arrives at the primary customer site the INU and/or
INUe can then be configured with the required plug-ins from the BSB(s) then
populated and configured. The complete INU or INUe can then be shipped to the
site in its original box.
Figure 2-10. Eclipse Node Shipping Box and Contents
If you request a preconfigured Eclipse Network the network will ship in INU/
IDU, ODU, and accessory boxes only. These boxes are site specific.

Node Protection Card (NPC)
The NPC provides redundancy for the NCC TDM bus management and power supply
functions usually provided through the NCC. One NPC card can be installed per INU or
INUe. In the event of a NCC failure the NPC will manage the TDM bus and provide
power to the INU or INUe to keep customer traffic flowing. An NPC is recommended if
the INU or INUe supports more than two RACs/ODUs.
• The NPC has power supply functionality when used with the IDC V1 chassis
and the NCC V1.
• The NPC has power supply and TDM Bus functionality when used with the
IDC V2, IDCe chassis, and the NCC V2.
When the NPC card is used in an IDC chassis it must be in slot position 4, in an
IDCe chassis it must be in slot position 10.

Eclipse Remote Mount

The Eclipse ODU or coupler with ODUs attached can be remote mounted to a
pole or tower leg. The remote mount is not frequency specific, as the waveguide
flange mounts directly to the ODU or coupler flange.

Eclipse Flexible Waveguides

Flexible waveguides are used to connect the ODU or coupler to the antenna in
situations where a direct mount slip-fit solution is not possible. The waveguides
are frequency band specific and come in two lengths. A waveguide hanger kit
must be used to support the waveguide.

The 5GHz ODU is different from all other Eclipse ODUs as it uses a 7/16 DIN
female connector instead of the traditional slip-fit waveguide interface as shown
below.
5GHz ODU showing the 7/16 female connector The 5GHz ODU mounted to the 5GHz remote

All other connectors on the ODU are the same as the standard Eclipse ODU:
• IDU-to-ODU cables are N-type
• Compatible with the existing lightning arrestor kits and other N-type cable
accessories
Each 5GHz Eclipse ODU is supplied with a remote mount that will fit to tower or
pole hardware.
POG-000002-001 Rev 003 December 2004 3-25

The jumper cable connects the ODU to the antenna. There are several variations
to connect to antennas that have different flange types. In addition, N-type
jumpers are offered for bench testing a link using N-type attenuators or test
equipment.

Eclipse Licensing
Terminal Licenses
The Eclipse Terminal has a CompactFlashTM card located in the rear of the IDU
that contains the operating software, license and configuration information.The
flash card is installed in the IDU when shipped from Stratex Networks.
The maximum capacity and modulation are determined by IDU hardware:
• 8xE1/QPSK for IDU 8x
• 16xE1/QPSK for IDU 16x
Where the IDU is to be shipped to countries that have an applicable hardware
tariff, the flash card (that works with both IDUs) can be shipped separately. The
license part number required is:
EFC-10002 IDU16 LICENSE 8E1/16E1 QPSK License
Node Licenses
The Eclipse Node architecture is controlled by a node based software license that
determines the throughput capability of the radio paths. Each node has one
license that enables all RAC/ODUs installed in the INU/INUe. Each RAC will
have a maximum capacity that it will carry before a new overall license for the
node is required.
The license is stored in a CompactFlash card that is inserted in the NCC, which in
turn is inserted in the IDC or IDCe. Each CompactFlash card has a unique
identifier called the License S/N that is required for license upgrade request and
repair and return processes. A software license “key” allows incremental
capacity selection up to 64xE1 or 2xSTM1 over each RAC/ODU.
When a radio requires extra capacity Stratex Networks will provide a license file
(software key) that is to be loaded in the CompactFlash card (located in the NCC)
remotely via Portal or ProVision V. The license file (software key) is a 170 bytes
binary file that can be delivered by email or by mail (on a CDROM).
The base license delivered on the CompactFlash card supports 6 RAC plug-ins
and 8 x E1 or 16 x DS1 of capacity, with a maximum corresponding modulation
of 16QAM. The base license is held on the CompactFlash card and is free of
charge. If the configuration is not known or the INU/INUe is ordered as a spare, a
base license will be supplied free of charge.
POG-000002-001 Rev 003 December 2004 3-29

The two base license part numbers and the relevant descriptions are as follows:
EZE-00001 SW LICENSE, E1, 6RAC 8X, BASE The same license for the IDC and IDCe.
EZE-00119 SW LICENSE, DS1, 6RAC 16X The same license for the IDC and IDCe.
When initially configuring a node, a New License must be purchased for the node
where any of the paths are to carry more than 8 x E1 or 16 x DS1 of radio traffic
per RAC card, or where a higher modulation scheme than 16QAM is required.
The license can be ordered, meaning that a unique license part number is
assigned to each valid INU/INUe configuration. New licenses have a part
number that starts with EZE.
Figure 3-11. Basic License EZE-00001/ EZE-00119 - Maximum Capability
The Eclipse License increases in increments of 8 x E1 or 12/16 x DS1 steps so

the next license from the base license would enable one of the paths to carry
16 x E1 or 28 x DS1 over one of the radio paths.

The following licenses upgrade one RAC path to the next step.
EZE-00002 SW LICENSE, E1, 1RAC 16X, 5RAC 8X
EZE-00120 SW LICENSE, DS1, 5RAC 16X, 1RAC 28X
Each license step can cater to more than one modulation scheme as shown in
Table 3-1.

The total cost for an upgrade license is the cost per RAC/ODU (path) for each
path that requires an upgrade. Table 3-2 is a summary of the upgrade capacity
available per RAC card and the cost per RAC card.

Base License E1 or DS1 1 x OC3 $1,500.00
Base License E1 or DS1 2 x OC3 $3,000.00
License Upgrades
Licenses previously shipped on a CompactFlash card may be upgraded to support
higher capacities. License upgrade capacity is selected in the same manner as a
New License. A license upgrade is a software-only process (meaning that no
CompactFlash will be shipped when a license upgrade is requested) requiring a
new license file to be sent by Stratex Networks.
The price of the license upgrade equals the price of the new license minus the
price of the existing license.
The base license has a zero dollar value
Price of License Upgrade = Upgraded License Price - Existing License Price

EZE part numbers cannot be discounted; EZA part numbers can be discounted in
Siebel so that the discount level matches the price of the upgraded license price
minus the existing license price.
• A license upgrade consists of a capacity increase and/or a RAC/ODU addition.
• A link upgrade requires two license upgrades, that is, both ends of the link need
to be upgraded, and assumes that capacity upgrade is greater than what is
supported by the existing license.
• A link addition requires one license upgrade at the existing node and shipment of
a new license in the new node and assumes that capacity upgrade is greater than
what is supported by the existing license.

To enable two of the radio paths in the previous example in Figure 3-11 on
page 3-30 to carry 16 x E1 would require an upgrade license:
EZA-00006 SW LICENSE UPGRADE, E1, 2RAC 16X, 4RAC 8X
To enable two of the radio paths to carry 28 x DS1 would require an upgrade
license:
EZE-00123 SW LICENSE, DS1, 4RAC 16X, 2RAC 28X
Figure 3-12. The base license with either of the above license upgrades applied.
POG-000002-001 Rev 003 December 2004 3-33

When upgrading a radio path, you must know the RAC and ODU capabilities and
that specialized RACs may be required for higher capacities. Refer to Table 3-3.

Appendix B. Eclipse Backplane
Overview
To fully utilize the advanced operation of the Eclipse nodal TDM back plane it is
useful to know its capabilities and limitations to ensure possible configurations
will work and to ensure that some expansion capability remains if required.
Eclipse TDM Bus Architecture

Each Eclipse INU is built around an integral TDM Bus system. Each INU
backplane includes two 8-bit TDM unidirectional buses divided into multiple
time slots.
The TDM:
• Routes customer data between the installed plug-in cards
• Is the common connection point for all INU modules, enabling
cross-connection and aggregation of traffic passing through the node
• Uses the NCC to carry out distribution of traffic and control of the bus
• Reduces cabling and ancillary equipment from a typical site with multiple paths
TDM Bus Operation

Each INU plug-in card has access to the TDM bus. Each card will write on a bus
and will read on the same or another bus. Each time slot can have only one source
(writer) but can have more than one destination (reader). For example, the same
data from a slot can be directed to two RACs simultaneously.
POG-000002-001 Rev 003 December 2004 B-1

There are five possible ways the backplane can be configured: E1, DS1, E3, DS3
and STM-1 (it is uncommon to configure the backplane for E3/DS3 operation).
For most applications the limiting factor will be the capacity of the RF path this
will be:
• 64 x E1
• 84 x DS1
• 2 x STM-1/OC3
The current maximum amount of traffic that can be configured on an Eclipse
backplane per INU or INUe chassis is measured in time slots.
• 100 x E1 (= 200 Time slots)
• 128 x DS1 (= 256 Time slots)
• 2 x STM-1 (= 4 Time slots)
The time slot methodology is used so when complex rings are used the
calculations that will determine the add/drop ability of a node will give whole
numbers each one representing a tributary.
For advanced Eclipse configurations refer to the Eclipse Networking Guide.pdf,
available from the Guides and White Papers section on:
http://www.go-stratex.com/field_marketing/sales_tools/eclipse.html
Bus Rules and Examples

Simple Add/Drop Nodes with North-bound Tributary Aggregation
B-2 Stratex Networks

(1+0 and 1+1)
Rule Add/Drop + Add/Drop + Add/Drop + ... </= 64 X E1
High Capacity Add/Drop Nodes with North-bound Tributary Aggregation

(2+0 and 2+2)
Rule 1 Maximum 100 x E1 or 128 x DS1 entering or leaving each INU or INUe
Add/Drop + Add/Drop + Add/Drop + ... < 2 x (50 x E1 per RF Path)
Rule 2 Maximum 100 x E1 or 128 x DS1 entering or leaving each INU or INUe
Add/Drop + Add/Drop + Add/Drop + ... < 2 x (64 x DS1 per RF Path)

East/West Repeater with Unidirectional Tributaries
Rule Pass through + Add/Drop East + Add/Drop West </= 64 x E1

Pass through + Add/Drop East + Add/Drop West </= 84 x DS1
E1/DS1 Nodal Ring Configuration
Rule 1 Add/Drop Total + Pass Through = Ring RF Capacity

The more traffic added/dropped per node, the less traffic can pass through the
node.
B-4 Stratex Networks

Rule 2 (Add/Drop Total x 3) + (Pass Through x 2) = </= Backplane Maximum

Adding and dropping traffic in a ring uses 50% more time slots per tributary.
Rule 3 E1 Backplane Maximum = 200 Time Slots

DS1 Backplane Maximum = 256 Time Slots
