WARNINGS!

High Frequency Electromagnetic Fields

Exposure to strong high frequency electromagnetic fields may cause thermal damage to
personnel. The eye (cornea and lens) is easily exposed.

Any unnecessary exposure is undesirable and should be avoided.

In radio-relay communication installations, orderly setup for normal operation, the general RF
radiation level will be well below the safety limit.

In the antennas and directly in front of them the RF intensity normally will exceed the danger
level, within limited portions of space.

Dangerous radiation may be found in the neighbourhood of open waveguide flanges or horns
where the power is radiated into space.

To avoid dangerous radiation the following precautions must be taken:

❍ During work within and close to the front of the antenna; make sure that transmitters will
remain turned off.

❍ Before opening coaxial - or waveguide connectors carrying RF power, turn off

transmitters.

❍ Consider any incidentally open RF connector as carrying power, until otherwise proved.
Do not look into coaxial connectors at closer than reading distance (30 cm). Do not look into an open
waveguide unless you are absolutely sure that the power is turned off.
 ESD

This equipment contains components which are sensitive to "ESD" (Electro Static Discharge).

It is therefore essential that whenever disassembling the equipment and/or handling PC boards,
special precautions to avoid ESD have to be made.

These precautions include personnel grounding, grounding of work bench, grounding of tools
and instruments as well as transport and storage in special antistatic bags and boxes.
 Laser

CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.

The optical interface must only be serviced by qualified personnel, who are aware of the
hazards involved to repair laser products.

When handling laser products the following precautions must be taken:

❍ Never look directly into an open connector or optical cable

❍ Before disconnecting an optical cable from the optical transmitter, the power should be
switched off. If this is not possible, the cable must be disconnected from the transmitter
before it is disconnected from the receiver.

❍ When the cable is reconnected it must be connected to the receiver before it is

connected to the transmitter.
 EARTHING

This equipment has a connection between the earthed conductor of the d.c. supply circuit and
the earthing conductor.

NOTE!
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
System Overview
Introduction
The Evolution Series microwave radio is designed to transmit data rates from about 6 Mb/s to 600Mb/s, in the frequency bands 5 GHz to 38
GHz. The configuration of capacity and modulation is software configurable, giving an optimal balance between system gain and spectral
efficiency.

Features
The ODU can be mounted directly on the antenna, both in unprotected and protected configurations. The ODU can also be mounted on the
antenna pole, using a short flexible waveguide to the antenna.

The Universal IFU can easily be expanded from a single channel system up to a traffic node handling up to 8 ODUs. The Universal IFU
contains the line interface, baseband processing and multiplexing, management and radio interfaces.

The optional embedded ADM/DXC function provides multiplexing for user traffic into the STM-1/OC-3 signal. In traffic node systems, the
digital cross connect (DXC) routes the user traffic between the various link directions without the need for cabling or external multiplexers.
Chain, ring, star and mesh topologies are supported, with individual choice of unprotected or protected (SNCP) traffic circuits. The
multiplexer supports a mix of traffic types, such as E1, T1, E3, DS3 and Ethernet.

The equipment configuration, licences and the operating software version, can be stored on the memory key available for plug-in, at the
front of the equipment or downloaded to a computer. When a new Supervisory Unit is inserted, the equipment configuration can then easily
be restored to the radio equipment.

System description
The Evolution Series microwave radio system comprises an indoor part (Universal IFU), and an outdoor part (ODU) and an antenna. The
Universal IFU and ODU are interconnected using a coaxial cable which carries the transmit and receive user traffic, management
communication between the Universal IFU and ODU, and the power supply to the ODU. In protected configurations, two cables are used;
one for each ODU.

Interface Unit (IFU) description

The Evolution Series Universal IFU is a 1RU high modular unit, containing 9 plug-in slots for various modules. The modular architecture
with plug-in slots enables a high degree of flexibility, easy upgrading/changing configurations and maintenance.

The Universal IFU Basic Frame is common in all configurations and up to four IFU frames can be stacked together by an IFU connection
panel.

● When an SU is part of the IFU frame, it will always occupy slot 1. The Supervisory Unit is handling the configuration of all the system
units as well as reporting system status to the NMS system.
● Slot 6 houses the FAN unit, handling the ventilation and temperature management of the IFU frame.
● Slot 2and 3 house the various user traffic interfaces and optional DXC unit. The PDH and Ethernet traffic interfaces are full height
and cover the upper Aux/Serv. position as well.
● Slot 4 and 5 house the RIU unit(s). The RIU unit provides connection to the ODU and supplies power to the IFU Basic Frame with
plug-in units and the ODU. If the DXC unit is used, slot 4 and 5 can be used for traffic interfaces as well.
● Slot 7-9 house any Auxiliary or Service Channel units, such as Alarm Unit, Wayside Traffic Unit, 64 kb/s Data Channels unit and
EOW unit.

All units can be replaced in the field. Non traffic carrying units can be replaced without interrupting the service.

OutDoor Unit (ODU) description

The ODU hardware is capacity and modulation independent. It consists of a transceiver and a diplexer. The transceiver is tuneable over the
whole frequency band, both high and low part. The diplexer determines the sub-band coverage. The ODU may be mounted directly to the
antenna. In HSB and 1+1/2+0 configurations an RF-coupler is used when connecting the ODUs to a single antenna interface. A pole

DXC Unit overview

One IFU is capable of handling radio systems for 1+0, 1+1, HSB and 2+0 channel arrangements. Larger systems are implemented by
interconnecting IFUs using the expansion port on the back of the IFU and a sub-rack. A total of 4 IFUs and 1 DXC Frame can be stacked and
interconnected. Each IFU and DXC frame is 1U (Unit) high, and can be mounted in both an ETSI and a 19” rack solution as well as standalone.
 Supervisory Unit overview

The SU is responsible for configuration and alarm collecting from all the boards in one IFU system. The maximum IFU system may
consist of 5 IFUs that can be controlled from only one SU located in an arbitrary IFU slot. The SU communicates with all boards and
functions needing SU awareness.

Connectors
USB
The USB device connector (USB type B connector) is used to open a text based console interface to the SU. This interface can be used
for basic SU configuration, for instance setting the IP address. The USB device interface complies with USB v1.1

The USB host connector (USB type A connector) can be used for connecting a USB disk on key, to perform software update. This host
connector can also be used as a RS232 interface using a USB to RS232 converter. The USB host interface complies with USB Rev 2.0
full-speed (12Mbit/s).

Ethernet
The Ethernet Port A (ETH1) is the SU management interface port. The Web server, FTP, SNMP and Telnet server are available from
this port.

The Ethernet Port B (ETH2) usage is configuration dependent:

● When the SU is configured for 100/10 Mbit/s Ethernet over the radio hop, port B is the physical interface for this connection

● Else port B is equivalent with port A. Port A and Port B together with the SU CPU form a 3-port Ethernet switch
