Step Description Figure
Lay the patient on his back with his arms parallel to the body.
If the patient is laying on an inclined plane, make sure that his
1 stomach is slightly lower than his chest. Open the patients
mouth and check that there is no foreign matter in mouth (den-
tures, chewing gum, etc.).
Kneel beside the patient level with his head. Put an h and under
the patient’s head and one under his neck.
Lift the patient’s head and let it recline backwards as far

2 as possible.
Shift the hand from the patient’s neck to his chin and his
mouth, the index along his jawbone, and keep the other fingers
closed together.
3 While performing these operations take a good supply of oxy-

gen by taking deep breaths with your mouth open
With your thumb between the patient’s chin and mouth keep
his lips together and blow into his nasal cavities
While performing these operations observe if the patient’s

chest rises. If not it is possible that his nose is blocked: in that
case open the patient’s mouth as much as possible by pressing
on his chin with your hand, place your lips around his mouth
and blow into his oral cavity. Observe if the patient’s chest
5
heaves. This second method can be used instead of the first
even when the patient’s nose is not obstructed, provided his
nose is kept closed by pressing the nostrils together using the
hand you were holding his head with. The patient’s head must
be kept sloping backwards as much as possible.
Start with ten rapid expirations, hence continue at a rate of

twelve/fifteen expirations per minute. Go on like th is until the
6
patient has regained conscious–ness, or until a doctor has as-
certained his death.

5 .7 .1 ACM
SIAE MICROELETTRONICA implements MSE based Adaptive Coding and Modulation in all channel band-
widths.
Multiple ACM profiles are available for automatic chan ges in accordance with the link conditions and select-
ed parameters (highest modulation, lowest modulation, masks, power mode etc.). ACM together with QoS
fits perfectly with modern networks requirements in order to ensure the high priority traffic to be never
dropped even in the worst conditions.
ACM includes modulation schemes starting from 4QAM to 4096QAM. Additional sets of ACM profile are in-
cluded differentiating between two different FEC rate codes maximizing throughput, system gain and link
availability with the same constellation type, just cha nging on-fly the ratio between payload bits and pro-
tection bits in the FEC ratios. This unique set of profiles a llows achieve –at the same time– higher capacity
in good propagation conditions and really h igher signal strength in tough propagation conditions.
ACM feature is available in all the configurations (1+0/1+1/2+0/4+0 and XPIC). Note that ACM works in-
dependently for uplink and downlink and it is able to protect against fading up to 100dB per second.
In order to configure properly the radio link using ACM facility, an optimization must be found between
max traffic during good propagation conditions and max availability during bad propagation conditions. To
obtain this purpose the ACM can be configured via software.
ACM setting
The ACM can vary modulation profiles between two extremes defined by the operator through software
configuration: Upper modulation and Lower Modulation.
• Upper modula
modulation
tion - When
When propagation
propagation into
into the given radio
radio channel
channel is in the
the better conditi
condition
on (high
RX S/N), the radio link is working at the maximum throughput defined at Upper Modulation: the
highest modulation profile that ACM can employ
• Lower modulat
modulation
ion - When
When propagation
propagation into
into the given
given radio channel is the worst
worst channel
channel in the
the worst
condition (low Rx S/N), the radio link is working at the minimum throughput, defined at Lower Mod-
ulation: the lowest modulation profile that ACM can employ.
ATPC and ACM interaction
The Automatic Transmission Power Control (ATPC) regulates the RF output power of the local transmitter
depending on the value of the RF level at the remote terminal. This value has to be preset from the local
terminal as threshold high and low. The difference between the two thresholds must be equal or higher
than 3 dB.
As soon as the received level crosses the preset Low Level threshold due to the increase of the hop atten-
uation, a microprocessor ( μP) sends back to the local terminal a control to increase the transmitted power.
A good set of the thresholds is to put the ATPC Low Level threshold higher than the downshift threshold of
the highest modulation scheme of the ACM; this way, the ATPC start to work before than the downshift.
The behaviour of the system is to try to increase the PTx and so the System Gain, before than being forced
to reduce capacity due to modulation downgrade.
Resuming, the correct setting of the thresholds is when the two windows, the ATPC one and the ACM one,
are not overlapped.

Storm control limits the maximum amount of traffic that can be accepted at the input of the switch LAN
ports: it’s possible to apply, for each LAN port, a rate limiter (PIRL set as active for each relevant LAN in-
terface) to a combination of incoming traffic types (independently from the VLAN ID and priority level).
These traffic types are:

manipulation
Once the mapping has been performed, all the incoming traffic ha s been associated to a specific EVC. This
means that the VLAN tag associated to the Carrier Ethernet service is appended to each frame and it is
used across the entire Carrier Ethernet network for delivering the frame towards the destination. This tag
is called S-tag.
S- tag is removed before the frame is delivered across the UN I to the external equipment on the other end
of the connection.
Before appending the VLAN tag associated to the service, the VLAN manipulation function allows modifying
the format of the incoming frames.

When the queues are full there is a congestion situation, this means that the resources are not enough to
serve all the packets and some of them must be dropped.
The choice of the dropping policy has different effects on the network. In case of congestion, the TCP/IP
protocol reduces the transmitting windows and therefore the amount of traffic transmitted. The TCP/IP pro-
tocol increases the transmitting window very slowly to allow th e network to solve the congestion issues.
Congestion Avoidance is a protocol that permits to discard some frames before congestion occurs.

5 .8 .8 Egress Shaping
Egress Shaping is used to control rate of traffic sent on network interface. traffic lower than or equal to th e
specified rate is sent, traffic that exceeds the rate is dropped or delayed. Rate limiting is performed by
policing (discarding excess packets), queuing (delaying packets in transit) or congestion control (manipu-
lating the protocol’s congestion mechanism).
The rate limiting which allows shaping traffic inserted inside the network is also implemented per egress
port or per queue.

ALFOplus2 implements an adaptive modulation algorithm to improve the system gain when the quality of
the received signal become insufficient to guarantee an error free link.
Adaptive modulation guarantees error free and hitless unidirectional downshifts with fading speed up to 30
dB/s. Ethernet frames aren’t lost in case of upshift and downshift events.

The installation phases of the whole system are described in the following paragraphs and it must be done
only by service person suitably trained.
Remember that the whole radio link can work only if ODUs chosen for local and remote side have equal
sub-band and different SSB (H and L).
7 .3 ELECTRICAL WIRING
The electrical wiring must be done using appropriate cables thus assuring the equipment responds to the
electromagnetic compatibility standards.
The cable terminates to flying connectors which have to be connected to the corresponding connectors on
the equipment front.
Position and pin-out of the equipment connectors are available in this section.
7 .4 CONNE
NEC
CTIONS TO THE SU
SUP
PPLY MAINS
During the final installation, protect the ALFOplus2 by a magneto-thermal switch (not supplied with the
equipment), whose characteristics must comply with the laws in force in one’s country.
The disconnection from the supply mains is made disconnecting the 48V connector M12 5Pin from the ODU
or disconnecting the LAN PoE cable.
The typical magneto thermal switch ha s characteristics at least 48 Vdc @12A with overcurrent relay class
“C” or “K” tripping curve.
Seal the M12 connector when it isn’t used, in order to avoid the removal of the cover without tools.
The operating temperature of power cable must be at least 60°C.

When the whole radio link is on, antenna alignment can be optimised. Antenna alignment optimization is
performed depending on the Rx signal power at local and remote equipment and evaluating both local and
remote S/N value maximizing them. There are two possibilities to see the Rx signal power level:

In order to get the Rx signal power level via software, connect the PC to ALFOplus2 and start the WebLCT.
Into WebLCT is shown in the top status bar (Rx1A= -value dBm) see Fig.39
Fig.39::
76 MN.00356.E - 002
If you’re using a voltmeter the Rx signal power level is available on the MNGT port of ODU, the measure-
ment can be performed with a proper cable (see Fig.24
Fig.24).
). Following this last procedure, the voltage you’re
reading with the voltmeter is proportional to Rx power level, refer to Tab.15

It is the most important item to optimise the antenna alignment, but in a situation of interference Rx level
can be good, BER acceptable but S/N margin low. This means that when Rx fields will decrease then BER
will increase fast. The situation can be easily shown with WebLCT software looking at Signal Quality level.

Some examples of traffic port configuration are suggested in the following paragraphs using two ports only,

Other ports can be used following the same procedures here shown.

Suggested configurations are with In Band management

management where both the LAN1 and LAN2 ports are used for
traffic and management.
In case of Out of Band management
management only LAN1 port can be used for traffic and so in the following examples
all the commands referred to LAN2 port (second pipe) have to be avoided.
Pipe 1: Local LAN1 port <--> Remote LAN1 port
Pipe 2: Local LAN2 port <--> Remote LAN2 port
The two pipes contain segregated traffic.

Verify with the appropriate Ethernet ana lyser the Ethernet performances of equipment before commission-
ing of the link.
After checking commissioning measures it is mandatory to fill “SIAE commissioning report” and send it to
SIAE database, ready to be checked when necessary.
These reports are very important for SIAE and for the customer because they certify the conformity of SIAE
link.
1 2 .5 FIRMWARE UP
UPDATE
Firmware can be updated using the software WebLCT Console. There are two different memory benches:
one containing the running firmware and the other the stand-by firmware. This permits to download a new
firmware release to the stand-by bench without cutting the traffic
Use “Bench Switch” to activate the bench in stand-by (SW restart will be performed).
The firmware file for ALFOplus2 is N50052.
1 2 .5 .1 Scope
Scope of this paragraph is to provide a procedure that describes, step by step, how to perform the software
upgrade of ALFOplus2 equipment. Downloading time depends on connection used between PC and

13 ALARMS
1 3 .1 GENERAL
In this document a description of alarms is present, in order to help opera tors to perform equipment trou-
bleshooting.

SYSTEM
There are two way to detect alarms:
• through LE
LEDs
• th ro
rou gh
gh We
WebLCT
For each part of the units, groups of a larms are defined. These alarms can be independent or interdepend-
ent with each other, according to the real causes that generated them.
Alarms are divided into 4 severity levels according to the effects that an alarm might cause to the regular
operation of the unit detecting it. Levels are prioritised as follows:
• Critical
Critical (red):
(red): out-of-serv
out-of-service,
ice, hw failure,
failure, urgent alarm
• Major (orange

Critical and Major alarms indicate impossibility of executing a service, hence the faulty units needs to be
serviced. Minor level represents the not urgent alarms which do not prejudice service continuity. Warning
level indicates malfunctions that might be locally removed without having to replace the unit. Alarm sever-
ity can be modified or masked in “Alarm severity configuration” via WebLCT by the operator.

1 4 .1 GENERAL
In the following pages are listed a ll the procedures necessary to ALFOplus2 maintenan ce.
When corrective maintenance is necessary, a troubleshooting procedure helps the operator to identify the
unit to replace.

ce.
Periodical checks serve to detect correct radio performance without th e presence of any a larm condition.
Corrective maintenance takes place as soon as one or more alarm conditions are in existence. Operation
sequence to be carried out is shown in “Troubleshooting” paragraph.
1 4 .2 . 1 Periodical checks
Routine maintenance consists in a series of checks aiming to verify the correct operating mode.
These checks are made through WebLCT program, installed on a PC.
Items to be checked are:
• Tx power

This problem is revealed by low Rx level (how much lower depends on the severity of tropospheric phe-
nomena) and consequent low quality in Rx signal, in both directions of the link.
Rain, multipath fading, rain drop depolarization and diffraction cause Reduced capacity notification alarm,
Rx Power low, Rx Quality warning, Rx quality alarm, Telemetry fail.
These alarms are fleeting because of the fluctuating attenuation:

When propagation problems occur, the link performance will be restored as the weather gets back to nor-
mal and if problems persist (Rx level remain different from normal) the reason must be searched in wrong
antenna disalignment (probably caused by strong wind or snow/ice over its surface).

Radio link affected by interference h as quality problems in one direction only (possible alarms are Rx Qual-

Rx level in the interfered site is not reduced by interference.
When these symptoms occur, check if new radio links have been installed in close areas (higher the fre-
quency, smaller the search radius).
In any case interference can be confirmed by a spectrum analyser through a multi-angle investigation per-
formed at antenna side.

power indicated in the table a bove). Below the
reference modulation the Mean Constant Mode is
followed.
RTPC attenuation is applied to Tx power of lower
modulation; higher modulations can transmit at
their maximum power if they do not overcome the
power transmitted at lower modulation.
