WARNING!
WARNING!
r DO NOT remove or insert the Transmitter Unit with DC power on. r Power to the OutDoor Unit (ODU) is carried on the coaxial cable between the InDoor Unit (IDU) and the ODU. Before connecting or removing the cable, ensure that the primary power to the IDU has been switched off.
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.
CAUTION!
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.
CAUTION!
CLASS 1 LAS ER PRODUCT
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: r During work within and close to the front of the antenna; make sure that transmitters will remain turned off. r Before opening coaxial - or waveguide connectors carrying RF power, turn off transmitters. r 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.
IEC 82 5-2: 1993
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: r Never look directly into an open connector or optical cable r Before disconnecting an optical cable, the power should be switched off. If this is not possible, the cable must be disconnected from the STM-1 output before it is disconnected from the STM-1 input. r When the cable is reconnected it must be connected to the STM-1 input before it is connected to the STM-1 output.

Introduction
CityLink is a super compact SDH radio-relay transmission system for the 18, 23 and 25 GHz frequency bands with STM-1 capacity. The equipment is split mounted with one single coaxial cable between the InDoor Unit (IDU) and the OutDoor Unit (ODU). The ODU and antenna can be located up to 300 meter apart from the IDU. The equipment is available in 1+0 (single) or hot standby configurations. The network applications foreseen for this equipment are mainly for increased connectivity in urban areas as well as closure of fibre optical rings. Built-in supervision enables easy installation and configuration, and system status and availability data may be recorded. Advanced management with standardised use of the Embedded Control Channel (ECC) allows for easy remote access to this equipment. Broadband RF design enables easy channel selection.

IDU Front Layout
Figure I-1 shows the IDU front layout. All the connectors are located on the front for easy operation. In addition to the STM-1 data interface, 2Mbit/s wayside and 64kbit/s data channels are available. The IDU is equipped with an integrated supervisory system for local and remote configuration and control. The supervisory system communicates with the ODU by use of an FSK modulated channel on the coaxial cable. The same coaxial cable also carries power to the ODU. An integrated 2 lines LCD is available for alarm view and RF input and output level monitoring (see Section V; Trouble Shooting). For configuration and management purposes the IDU is equipped with two LCT interfaces for connection to the PC, one with RS-232 interface and one LAN TP interface. In addition NI interfaces for connection to other IDUs or other Nera equipment are provided. The IDU has a connector for alarm input/output functionality (ALM & AUX). Figure I-2 shows a block schematic view of the IDU with STM-1 Network Node Interface. In radio transmit direction the STM-1 input is CMI decoded and fed to the SORP ASIC. It performs all the SOH processing and radio scrambling. The FIR ASIC encodes the signal by use of a convolution code and maps it to the 32CROSS constellation. It also performs the necessary pulse shaping. The signal is then I/Q modulated, and the 350MHz IF signal is fed to the ODU interface and applied to the IF coaxial connector. In radio receive direction the 140MHz IF from the ODU will interface the IDU on the same connector. The necessary equalising functions are provided in the ODU interface before the IF signal is presented to the coherent demodulator. From the demodulator the signal is fed to the adaptive time domain equaliser. The equalised signal is then decoded in the TRELLIS decoder, by use of soft decision and the Viterbi algorithm for error correction. The signal then goes to the SORP for radio descrambling and SOH processing, and is finally CMI encoded in the CMI interface.

ODU Description
The ODU is an assembly of branching unit and transceiver unit. The ODU is connected to the IDU with a single coaxial cable. The coaxial cable provides Tx-IF, Rx-IF, signalling and power supply. For flexibility and easy installation, the coaxial cable is connected to the transceiver through the branching unit. The transceiver is attached to the branching with a snap on system. With this solution, the coaxial cable may remain connected during transceiver replacement. The ODU and the antenna are assembled very closely together making it very compact. Nevertheless the antenna can be separated from the ODU by use of a flexible waveguide. The branching unit contains RF channel filters, circulators and overvoltageprotection. The transceiver unit contains a microwave Tx/Rx module, a synthesised local oscillator and a transceiver main board, all in a waterproof housing. The transceiver is based on dual frequency conversion in the transmitter and triple conversion in the receiver. This radio architecture with high IF frequencies allows for use of wide band branching filters while still maintaining excellent spectrum purity in transmitter and high selectivity in receiver. The use of wide band branching filters allows for a wide choice of remote channel frequency selection without changing hardware. The microwave module is an integrated multi-chip module with GaAs HEMT MMICs for Power Amplifier and Low Noise Amplifier. The necessary LO frequencies for the frequency converters are generated in a low phase noise synthesiser unit. The channel frequency is remotely programmed from the indoor unit. Transmit/receive IF-chain, control-circuits, signalling and power supply are integrated on the transceiver main board. I Eqp. Description

Management
I Eqp. Description An integrated supervision system makes the CityLink capable of functioning as a Network Element (NE) in a managed SDH transmission network. Management and supervision of the CityLink can be performed in various ways from very simple alarm monitoring to standardised management through optional built-in NE agents. Standardised use of QECC, according to ITU-T Rec. G.784, is provided. The CityLink also supports embedded SNMP agent that can be controlled by SNMP based manager supplied by the service provider. For element and network management the NEW-NMS (Nera Element vieW - Network Management System) software provides the full range of management functionality; Fault, Performance, Security and Configuration. The integrated SNMP agent provides interface to higher level Network Management Systems. The alternative interfaces available at the IDU are described in Appendix I; IDU Interface Description.

Hot Standby
In Hot Standby configuration, the IDU, the transceiver unit and the coaxial cable between IDU and ODU are duplicated. The two transceivers share a common branching unit. A switch and a hybrid at radio frequency, included in the branching unit, allow for switching between the two transmitters and provides signal to the two receivers respectively. An IDU-switch unit is placed between the two IDUs. Figure I-4 shows the IDU switch front layout. The following user interfaces are protected in hot standby configuration: STM-1 interface 2 Mbit/s wayside interface 2 MHz synchronisation interface

IDU/ODU Cable Installation

Both ends of the cable must be terminated with N-male connectors. We recommend using flexible tube coaxial cable FSJ1-50 (CF 1/4"). If this cable is requested by the purchaser, the N-male connectors and the installation material may also be supplied. For other cable types the cable and all necessary installation materials must be arranged by the purchaser. Cable length limitations are dependent upon cable type used. The table below shows some examples.

NEW-NMS/NEW-Configurator Startup and connecting to Network Elements

III Commissioning The NEW-NMS/NEW-Configurator (Nera Element vieW-Network Management System/ -Configurator) program must be installed on a PC satisfying the requirements depicted in the program manual. Follow carefully the program installation instructions to make sure the program is successfully installed. The element viewer can monitor the network elements using a serial connection (RS-232) or a TCP/IP connection (or both for different network elements). Apply all external connections to the PC before the program is started. A serial connection must be used the first time the network manager/ configurator is connected to the CityLink, because the IP address must be set in the CityLink, before a TCP/IP connection can be established.
2.1.1
Starting NEW-NMS/NEW-Configurator with Serial Connection (RS-232/ LCT).

Apply the serial cable to one of the serial ports of the PC and the LCT port of the CityLink. Start the program. A Log on dialog box pops up. Log on to the network with your user id and password. The program has an auto discover function which automatically discovers network elements connected to the serial ports of the PC when starting. If some network elements are connected to the serial ports of the PC, the network topology is automatically discovered and 51

presented in the Explorer view. Press Add to include discovered elements in the network topology of the program. The auto discover function can also be manually executed by selecting Discover from the File menu. When discovering the network manually the program looks for network elements at the open ports listed in the Communication dialog box (select Communication from the Configuration menu).
2.1.2
Starting NEW-NMS/NEW-Configurator with TCP/IP Connection.

(Assumes the TCP/IP address is configured in the CityLink ) Apply Ethernet connections to both the CityLink and PC. Start the program. A Log on dialog box pops up. Log on to the network with your user id and password. The program does not know the IP-address of the network element so the connection must be manually established. To configure a TCP/IP connection to the network element, select Communication from the Configuration menu. Press the Add button and type the IP address of the NE in the address field of the dialog box which pops up. Press OK to save the changes, and OK to close the Communication Configuration dialog box. Select Discover from the File menu. Press Add to include discovered elements in the network topology of the program. The accepted network elements will be discovered and presented in the Explorer view.

III Commissioning
The purpose of the alignment procedure is to obtain maximum signal level and cross polarization discrimination by aligning two antennas in opposite directions. The antennas should be properly mounted and polarized in the same way. It must be possible to transmit from one antenna and receive on the other. The best way is to have a transmitter and a receiver connected to both antennas.
3.1
Procedure for Coarse-alignment

Adjust both antennas to correct directions as precisely as possible by using magnetic compass or optical sight.
3.2
Procedure for Fine-alignment

Fine adjustment is achieved by sending a signal from one of the antennas. On the receive side various methods may be used. a) b) c) d) Measure the AGC voltage from the transceiver Read the received level on a spectrum analyzer Measure the received power with a Power Meter Use the audio signal to adjust for maximum input power. The audio signal is activated by removing the cap from the AGC connector.
III Commissioning
54
Mute the transmitter at the receive station to exclude interference from this source. It is recommended that the person adjusting the antenna can read the instrument while adjusting. It is very easy to be misled if the signal is fading. If the AGC voltage is used, a voltmeter should be connected and monitored by the person who is adjusting the antenna. Adjust alternatively in azimuth and elevation till the received signal is at maximum level. Try a few times in each direction. The antenna should be turned enough that the first sidelobes are seen, thereby ensuring that the antenna is aligned on the main lobe. When the antenna is correctly adjusted, secure all bolts. Monitor the instrument during this operation and if necessary realign the antenna. When adjustments are completed on the first antenna, this should be used for transmitting while the same procedure is performed on the opposite antenna.
B1089 Rev. D
3.3
Cross Polarization Adjustment

After alignment of the antenna, the antenna feed should be adjusted horizontally and vertically. Loosen the flange which secures the feed to the reflector. Align the feed by using a spirit level. Secure the flange.
3.4
Final Control
When all adjustments are performed check that the input level agrees with the one theoretically calculated. If the input level is too low, adjust the antennas once more. Finally, ensure that all bolts and nuts are properly mounted and secured.

(For advanced users) The Path Trace functionality and the AIS (Alarm Indicator Signal) functionality are used for verifying that the received STM-1 frames are the frames we want to receive (correct routing, frequency alignment...). This is done by either inserting a fixed byte or a user defined ASCII string in the J0 slot in the RSOH, or a two bit RF ID symbol at the transmit end. This is done from the path trace sheet. The RF ID functionality is only available at the Radio side. The radio that receives the STM-1 frames must have the same Trace string (J0) or RF ID defined in the AIS insert sheet. If there is a mismatch, an AIS can be inserted. An AIS can also be inserted if the HBER threshold is exceeded. The AIS Insert configuration sheet can be opened from the Configuration context menu of both the Transmission Radio and Line Rx nodes in the Explorer view. The sheet can also be invoked by selecting (highlighting) one of the Transmission Radio and Line Rx nodes in the Explorer view and then selecting Edit AIS Insert from the Configuration menu.

Network Routing
Every CityLink Network Element has a static and a dynamic routing table which relates incoming messages, addressed to other NEs, to different ports. The NE evolves a Dynamic Routing Table, while the Static Routing Table is set by the user. The dynamic routing table evolves towards the optimal routing table. When the NE is reset, the dynamic routing table is reset too, so when the NE is turned on again the NE has to evolve the routing table from scratch. The static routing table is only used after the IDU has been booted. It is used as a starting point for the dynamic routing mechanism, and will thus, if properly set, decrease the time the NE uses to create a sufficient routing table. Static entries can be manually added and dynamic entries can be copied to the static table. The Routing Table configuration sheet can be opened from the Configuration context menu of the Equipment node in the Explorer view. The sheet can also be invoked by selecting (highlighting) the Equipment node in the Explorer view and then selecting Edit Routing Table from the Configuration menu.

Self Test
The Self Test function uses a two step procedure for testing the IDU. The first test sets a CMI loop, while the second test sets an IF loop. For both loops, a PRBS is created in the SORP and errors are counted and synchronization losses are registered as the signal returns from the loops. Press Test to start the Self Test. WARNING! When performing a Self Test the STM-1 traffic will be destroyed. The Self Test dialog box can be opened from the Configuration context menu of the IDU node in the Explorer view. The dialog box can also be invoked by selecting (highlighting) the IDU node in the Explorer view and then selecting Edit Self Test from the Configuration menu.

Hot Standby
Hot Standby systems on CityLink consists of two InDoor Units connected to an IDU-Switch and two OutDoor Units connected to the same branching unit. The branching unit has an RF-switch in the Tx direction. The two IDUs with the connected ODUs are independent systems. In the NEW-NMS the two systems will appear as one Network Element with one Transmission- and one Equipment node. If NEW-NMS has contact with both NEs, the equipment node will have two IDU nodes, two ODU nodes and an IDU-Switch node. The Transmission node will have two Channels.

Switching Criteria
The Hot Standby system operates in two modes, manual and automatic. In manual mode the Rx-switch and the Tx-switch are controlled by NEW. No alarms in the system will cause the system to switch. The system is switching the Rx-switch and the Tx-switch at the same time (bidirectional). In automatic mode the switching is based on alarms in the system. In automatic mode the Rx-switch and Tx-switch can operate either bidirectional or unidirectional. Unidirectional mode: The system will only switch the transmission direction where the alarm has occured. Bidirectional mode: The system will switch in both directions when an alarm occurs. The traffic will go through the same IDU and ODU in both directions. Hence, the other IDU or ODU can be removed without disturbing traffic. Exception: When an alarm occurs in IDU-A, the system tries to switch to IDUB/ODU-B. If ODU-Bis not able to take over the traffic, the system will then try to keep the traffic running by only switching to IDU-B and continue using ODU-A. The system has switched to unidirectional mode to try to keep the traffic running. The system will resume bidirectional mode next time an alarm occurs. Switching criteria in receive direction: RF-INPUT The RF input signal is missing (ODU) LO Local oscillator alarm (ODU) IF-DEM Loss of incoming 140MHz IF to demodulator (IDU) LOF Loss of frame (i.e. sync loss in demodulator) (IDU) HBER User defined bit error threshold.

3.0 Troubleshooting by NEW-NMS Configurator

3.1 Introduction
Fault management is the process of locating and correcting network problems or faults. Fault management is possibly the most important task in network management. It consists of identifying the occurrence of a fault, isolating the cause of the fault and correcting it if possible. The fault management increases the network reliability by giving the network operator a tool that quickly detects problems and initiates recovery procedures. NEW contains functions for acquisition, presentation and storage of alarms and events from the network to be managed.
3.2
Information Acquisition
In order to detect faults, information must be gathered from the network. The state of the network is monitored using two different methods.
3.2.1
Polling
The various network elements should be polled on a regular basis, so that changes in Network Elements (NE) are detected and network connectivity is checked. Which NE to poll, the polling rate and what to be polled for a specific NE is user definable.
3.2.2
Event Notification
In addition to polling, some NEs have the ability to spontaneously report events. The NEW will gather this information in addition to polling. This feature will decrease the managers response time to network events considerably.

Alarm Presentation
In all views, where network information is presented, colors are used to indicate the alarm severity status of the network elements. To easily identify the status of the network elements, all alarms are classified according to their severity. Each alarm severity class has a color. In the different views, the network elements change colors according to the color of their most severe alarm. The alarm classifications are described in the table below. Severity Se ve rity Normal

E.g. the section and NE symbols will always show the alarm colour of the most severe alarm identified in the sub-branches in the Explorer view.
B1089 Rev. D
By pressing the right mouse button on any nodes/leaves in the Explorer View and selecting Current Alarms from the context menu, a Current Alarm List (ref. Appendix III) is opened showing all alarms Hierarchical below the selected leaf.

Alarms on a Node symbol in the Map view

The Map View is opened by selecting Map Navigator from the View Menu. Follow the instructions in the Help file to create a map. Figure V-6 shows an example of the view. The Map View shows the Network information in a physical manner. Each NE is showed as an NE icon. Graphic-files can be added as background images in the view. NE icons grouped together with bindings form networks. The NE icons change their severity colours according to the current most severe alarm of the NE.
Figure V-6 Example of Map View By pressing the right mouse button on a NE icon in the Map View and selecting Alarms from the context menu, a Current Alarm List (ref. Appendix III) is opened showing all alarms of the NE.

Viewing Alarms in the Current Alarms View

The Current Alarm View can be opened by selecting Current Alarms from the Fault Menu. Figure V-9 shows an example of the Current Alarms List. Each alarm is listed as a row in the list as shown in Table V-1. The Current Alarms List can also be opened from both the Explorer View and the Map View by selecting Current Alarms from the right-mousebutton-click context menu. The filter is then automatically set up to show only the alarms hierarchically below the node/leaf the alarm list was opened from.

Cable Fault
If a cable fault is indicated, it indicates that microprocessor communications between the IDU and ODU have failed. The fault is most probably with the cable connection. It may be open or shorted. Disconnect the cable connection to the IDU and leave the connection to the ODU connected. Measure the DC cable resistance between the centre pin and the outer of the N-type connector terminating the cable by means of a multi-meter. If resistance is in the order of some hundreds k to a few M: Probably no cable fault. Replace IDU or ODU, one at the time. If alarm persists, swap the replaced unit for the original and replace the other unit. If resistance is less than some hundreds k : Probably cable or connector damage. Check the cable and connectors at both ends for defects or for reasons that would cause the problem. Remeasure DC resistance, now with both cable ends disconnected. The resistance should be open circuit and if not replace the entire cable run, terminating with new N-type connectors. If resistance is immeasurable (high impedance): Typically reasons are connectors not terminated correctly or cable cut. Check the cable and connectors at both ends for defects or for reasons that would cause the problem. Remeasure DC resistance, with the outer end still connected to the ODU. If still immeasurable impedance, replace the entire cable run, terminating with new N-type connectors.
