IDU
IDU Description
Figures X-1 shows the IDU front layout. All the connectors are located on
the front for easy operation. In addition to the line interface, 2Mbit/s
wayside and 64kbit/s data channels are available. As options, a 21x2 Mbit/
s terminal multiplexer, ADM STM-1 (X-Connect) or DS3/E3 can be configured by adding a second circuit board. 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. 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. A SETS
function is incorporated into the unit, conforming to ITU-T rec. G.823 with
balanced 120 interface. The IDU has a connector for alarm input/output
functionality (ALM/AUX). Alarm and warning LEDs are located on right
hand side of front. Located close to the power connector is a power indicating
LED.
Figure I-1 shows a block schematic view of the IDU with various optional line
interface plug-in boards and also a 21x2 Mbit/s Extension Board. In radio
transmit direction, the 155 Mb/s input signal from the line interface board is
fed to the SORP ASIC. It performs all the SOH processing and radio
scrambling. Then, the TX FPGA encodes the signal by use of a convolution
code and an optional Reed Solomom code. The signal is then mapped into
a 32TCM, 64TCM or 128TCM constellation, as required. It also
performs the necessary pulse shaping by use of a digital FIR-filter. The signal
is then digitally I-Q modulated, and the 350MHz IF signal is fed to the ODU
interface and applied to the IF coaxial connector. In receive direction the
140MHz IF from the ODU will interface the IDU on the same connector. The
necessary cable equalizing functions are provided in the ODU interface and
the equalized IF is presented to the coherent demodulator. From the demodulator the signal is fed to the RX FPGA, which perform slope equalization and
receive filtering. Then the ATDEC ASIC, performs Trellis decoding, by use
of soft decision and the Viterbi algorithm for error correction. The optional
Reed Solomon decoding is performed in the RX FPGA. The decoded signal
is then fed to the SORP ASIC for radio descrambling and SOH processing,
and is finally fed to the line interface board.

Service Telephone
A service telephone with collective call is provided in both the IDU and
HSB IDU. In a 1+1 HSB system, the customer interface connection must
be towards the HSB IDU.
External connection to two other similar equipment can take place via two
RJ-45 ports on the front. Refer to Appendix I for connector pin-out and
description and Figure I-3 for circuit diagram of the service channel
interface. The balanced interfaces have a nominal level of -6dBm and
600 impedance. Connect OUT to INP and vice versa.
Service channel signalling is based on collective call. The DTMF-star
sequence is used as collective call to interface with other Nera equipment.
If other equipment connected have a different calling system than DTMFstar, they may use CALL INP/CALL OUT. Station ground connected to
CALL INP will start transmission of DTMF-star as well as activating a
buzzer. A detected DTMF-star will activate the CALL OUT by opening an
optocoupler to station ground.
For Nera PDH-radio equipped with Service Board 2NF467A, CALL INP
has to be connected to CALL OUT and vice versa.
28
B4008 Rev. M
Equipment Description
A control signal can be transferred over the radio hop. Station ground
connected to CTRL INP will set a signalling bit which is detected on the
other side and activates CTRL OUT by opening an optocoupler to station
ground. See Figure I-3. The control signal is used to control PABXadapters and to switch off loudspeakers on Nera service boards with
selective call (e.g. 2NF4688, 2NF533B and 2KNF232A). The control
signal is transferred only if SOH-byte E1, E2 or F1 is used for
transmission of service channel.
For setup by NEW, refer to Section VII.

Equipment Description
way: In a slot in the STM-1Extension Board, a line interface board is inserted.
Presently one type of board is implemented: The plug-in board compliant
with ITU-T G.703 CMI encoded 155 Mbit/s customer interface; 2LN24C. A
green LED, located on the front of the board indicates presence of an input
signal. The line interface board is mounted on the extension board prior to
this being mounted within the IDU cabinet. This means that the line interface
board will not be used as a plug-in type board in this application.
SOH processing and line scrambling /descrambling on the STM-1 interface
are performed by the SORP ASIC. The TDM1 ASICs perform insertion,
extraction, signal processing and cross-connection of data in the payload
of the STM-1 frame and also make error and performance measurements on
VC-3 and error measurements on VC-12. The PLD14 FPGA makes performance measurements on VC-12s embedded in the STM-1 datastreams from
two TDM1 ASICs. The measurement results are used to choose individual
VC-12s from the two datastreams in TDM1 ASIC no.1 and TDM1 ASIC no.2.
The selection is done by the SU in TDM1 ASIC no. 3. See Figure I-5.

ODU
ODU Type I Description
The ODU Type I is an assembly of branching unit and transceiver unit
mounted behind the antenna or on a mounting frame on a pole/column. 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. In 1+0 configuration the branching unit is for a
single transceiver and in Hot Standby
configurations the branching is for dual
transceivers. 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 overvoltage
protection. The Hot Standby branching contains in addition a RF switch for
transmit direction and a RF power splitter for the receive direction.
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, controlcircuits, signalling and power supply are integrated on the transceiver main
board.

Management
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.
As an option, 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.

The Hot Standby configuration is for 26-38 GHz also available with duplicated antenna. There is no Tx-switch at radio frequency level and the standby
transmitter is muted. Both receivers are active and selection of receive signal
is performed by the IDU-switch. This configuration gives better system gain
as no HSB-hybrid loss is added.

2+0 Configuration
The 2+0 system can be used in two types of configuration, using one or two
polarisations. Single Frequency Dual Polarisation (SF-DP) and Alternating
Polarisation (AP) utilise both polarisations in order to double the capacity.
Dual Frequency Single Polarisation (DF-SP) requires two channels in order
to transmit 2xSTM-1. With this configuration, adjacent channels cannot be
used. Figure I-15 and Figure I-16 show block diagrams of the 2+0 configurations.

Coarse adjustment.
Adjust both antennas to correct direction as possible by using magnetic
compass or optical sight.
6.3
Fine adjustment
Fine adjustment is achieved by setting up a connection between the
antennas. When the connection is established a readout of the AGC voltage
can be used to align the antennas. Loosen the antenna in both elevation and
azimuth according to figure and adjust both azimuth and elevation until
maximum signal is recived. Try a few times in each direction. The antenna
should be turned so much that the first sidelobes are seen, thereby ensure
that the antenna is aligned on the mainlobe.
When the antenna is aligned in both azimuth and elevation the polarization
of the feed shall be realigned.
Finally ensure that all bolts and nuts are properly mounted and tighten.
The same procedure shall than be repeated on the opposite antenna.
128
B4008 Rev. M
Final Control
When all adjustments are performed, check that the input level agrees with
the calculated level. If the input level is to low, realign the antenna once
more. Finally ensure that all bolts and nuts are properly mounted and
tighten.
6.5
Polarisation alignment
Align the antenna approximately in both elevation and azimuth. Then use
a water level to align the polarisation of the antenna feed to correct
polarisation according to figures below. Loosen the six M8 nuts that are
securing the feed to the reflector and rotate the feed according to readout
of the water level. When the feed is in correct alignment, tighten the six
M8 nuts properly (do not overtight the nuts). Then the ODU can be
mounted and the antenna has to be aligned. If the antenna has to be rotated
several degrees in azimuth or elevation, the polarisation has to be realigned according to prior procedures.
Horizontal Polarisation:
When the H mark is in upwards position, this
shows that the antenna is Horizontal Polarized
Water level
Use these stud screws for aligning the feed with water level.

Route, secure if necessary with cable ties, and terminate ground cable
between the IDU safety ground post and a nearby local safety ground
point. Use the 6mm2 cable (2.5m long) included in the grounding kit.
Refer to Figures X-1 and X-2 (Section X, Appendix 1) for the IDU
safety ground post location.
Route, secure if necessary with cable ties, the terminated IDU/ODU
cable and connect to the ODU port of the IDU. See Chapter 5.0 (this
Section) for further details.
NOTE!
Max torque = 5Nm when mounting the IDU/ODU cable.
Route and secure the power cable. The CityLink requires DC power
(-40,5 to -57V) via a 2-pin connector. Refer to Figure X-7 (Section
X, Appendix 1) for a pinout of the connectors. It is recommended to
use the supplied power cable, UWMK5051. The cable is left unconnected in one end. The black conductor must be connected to 0V
(station gnd) and the blue conductor must be connected to -48V. After
connecting the cable to the power supply, measure polarity on power
connector terminals.
Dependent on the purchased configuration of the IDU, route and attach
all cables except the power cable. Refer to Section X, Appendix 1 for
wiring details.

Notifications
The NE can send notifications to NEW when specific events occur. When
using notifications, NEW gets new information faster than if only polling
is used. Polling should however be used in addition to notifications. The
NE keeps individual notification settings for each NEW that is logged on
to the NE, such that the settings made from one NEW only apply to that
NEW. Note that the settings will be reset to default when NEW logs on to
the NE or when the IDU is reset.
A notification is enabled when the corresponding checkbox is checked ( ).
The Notifications configuration sheet can be opened from the Configuration context menu of the Element node in the Explorer view. The sheet
can also be invoked by selecting (highlighting) the Element node in the

application code from one bank, while the other bank is available for SW
download. New software can be downloaded (see Chapter 2.5 SW
Download) in the unused bank while the IDU or ODU is executing the code
of the other bank. The user may also select which bank to execute the
application from if both banks contain valid software.
The ODU contains an application code software bank in addition to the two
banks in the IDU. The ODU software is copied from the active IDU bank
to the ODU bank during the ODU boot process.

Path Trace
(For advanced users)
The Path Trace functionality and the AIS (Alarm Indicator Signal) functionality are used to test 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 an user defined ASCII sting 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 Path Trace configuration sheet can be opened from the Configuration
context menu of both the Transmission Radio and Line Tx nodes in the
Explorer view. The sheet can also be invoked by selecting (highlighting) the
one of the Transmission Radio and Line Tx nodes in the Explorer view and
then selecting Edit Path Trace from the Configuration menu.

Equipment Node
Network Routing
The active and initial routing tables map incoming messages that are
addressed to other NEs, to different communication ports.
The active routing table is used by the IDU to route messages to other NEs,
using the best path detected. The IDU regularly searches for connected
NEs through all enabled communication ports to detect any changes in the
network topology. This table is initialised with the initial routing entries
when the IDU is rebooted (and when the initial routing table is configured
by the user) and then evolves towards an optimal routing table.
The initial routing table is used after the IDU has been booted. This table
is used as a starting point for the routing mechanism, and will thus, if
properly set, decrease the time the NE uses to create a sufficient active
routing table. Initial routing entries can be manually added and active
routing entries can be copied to the initial 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.

IP Routing
Static Routes
Maximum 20 static routes can be configured on a Nera OSPF router.
Active Routes
An Nera OSPF router supports approximately 200 active routes.
OSPF areas
It is not recomended to have more than 25 OSPF routers per OSPF area.
Each area may export up to 8 address ranges.
Fixed configuration options
The Nera OSPF implementation is not a dedicated router implementation and
as such some parameters that would normally be configurable are fixed. For
interoperability with other equipment it is however sometimes important that
the configuration of external equipment match these values.

Limitations
This implementation supports a basic implementation of OSPF v.2 (RFC
2823). It does not support virtual links and MD5 authentication.
Other options
This implementation supports a rudimentary mechanism for distribution of
static and RIP2 routes. The implementation also supports exporting routes
to RIP2.

DS3/E3 Looping
The DS3/E3 card includes three PDH ports, each of which supports looping.
The card supports Far End Loop, Near End Loop, PRBS insertion and PRBS
verification. The loops are available when the PDH Ports on the DS3/E3 card
have been configured to add or drop traffic.
A PRBS signal can be inserted on all three PDH ports instead of the regular
traffic. The incoming PRBS signal can then be checked in order to verify the
quality of the communication path. To check the quality of the signal, a PRBS
counter is configured to count the errors on one of the PDH Ports in one of
the DS3/E3 directions. An error is detected when the signal differs from the
expected PRBS signal.
The DS3/E3 card has one PRBS generator that can be muxed into either
inbound or outbound direction on one or more ports simultaneously. The
PRBS generator can be inverted. For E3 the PRBS polynom is 223 - 1 and for
DS3 the PRBS polynom is 215 -1. The PRBS checker is available at one of the
PDH ports in either inbound or outbound direction and can also check
inverted PRBS signals.

Direction Used to set from which Direction the tributary board shall
check PRBS. To change the setting, the user must doubleclick the Direction cell in question. When this happens, a
combobox will be displayed in the cell and the user can
select a new setting for the cell.
Inverted If this checkbox is checked, it will be assumed that the
received PRBS is inverted. If not checked, its assumed to
not be inverted.
Clear
If this checkbox is checked the Count cell will be cleared
when Set button is clicked.
Check
Only one tributary can be set to check PRBS at the time. This
means that only one item in the list above can be active at the
same time. In the figure above this is item-1. Item-2 through
item-8 arent active. If e.g. the radio button in item-1 in the
figure is clicked (the one that is active), it will be cleared. In
this case none of the tributaries will check PRBS.
Count
This cell will contain the number of error pulses. Its a 2^16
bits wrap-around counter. If the Status cell is Sync Loss,
this counter will not count but instead be set to . If the
Status cell is No Sync Loss, this counter will count errors.
Status
The status of the counter.
Note: If the user, by means of the Drop or Continue dialog, removes any
of the tributaries in the list above, they will automatically be removed
from the list!

DS3/E3 Configuration
The DS3/E3 functionality allows the operator to connect two Virtual Containers (VC) in different ports. The connections are identified by using the
background colour of the ports together with the KLM address of the virtual
container. The background colour of a virtual container identifies the source
port, while the KLM address identifies the source address.
As an example consider the marked VCs in Figure VII-79. The VC on the Line
Port is connected with the VC having a KLM address of 1,2,1 on the Radio
Port. While the VC on the Radio Port is connected with the VC having a KLM
address of 1,1,1 on the Line Port.
SNCP functionality is available on the DS3/E3 Port and is identified with a
split cell.
Traffic Looping is achieved by connecting VCs on the same port and is only
available for the line - and radio port. The DS3/E3 port does not support traffic
looping, but does however support test looping. DS3/E3 looping is only
available on the connected when the port has been configured to add/drop
traffic.
The DS3/E3 Configuration sheet can be opened from the Configuration
context menu of the DS3/E3 Extension Board node in the Explorer view. The
sheet can also be invoked by selecting (highlighting) the DS3/E3 Extension
Board node in the Explorer view and then selecting Edit DS3/E3 from the
Configuration menu .

X-Connect Configuration
The X-connect functionality allows the operator to connect two Virtual
Containers (VC) in different ports. The connections are identified by using
the background colour of the ports together with the KLM address of the
virtual container. The background colour of a VC identifies the source port,
while the KLM address identifies the source address.
As an example consider the marked VCs in the figure below. The VC on the
Line Port is X-connected with the virtual container having a KLM address
of 1,2,1 on the Radio Port. While the VC on the Radio Port is X-connected
with the VC having a KLM address of 1,1,1 on the Line Port.
SNCP functionality is available on the Line Port and is identified with a split
cell.
Looping is achieved by connecting VCs on the same port (Traffic Looping).
The X-Connect Configuration sheet can be opened from the Configuration
context menu of the X-Connect Extension Board node in the Explorer view.
The sheet can also be invoked by selecting (highlighting) the X-Connect
Extension Board node in the Explorer view and then selecting Edit XConnect from the Configuration menu .

Hot Standby
General
A CityLink Hot Standby system consists of two InDoor Units connected to
an IDU Switch and two OutDoor Units connected to the a HSB branching
unit. The IDU switch performs switching in the Rx direction, while the
branching unit has an RF-switch in the Tx direction.
Figure VII-84
6.1.1
Functionality
The IDU switch will perform most of the normal tasks of an IDU, with the two
IDUs maintaining modem functionality. Thus, configuration of line inputs,
wayside channels etc will be handled on the switch, while modem-specific
functionality (e.g Viterbi error pulses) is found on the IDU. Some functionality, like auxiliary outputs, are found in both places.

How to verify transmission quality and capacity ?
One way to do this is to set up two computers and do a file transfer
(FTP) between them over the hop.
One PC working as FTP-server and one as FTP-client, check the
time for transfer of the file and calculate throughput.
Do not have any HUBs connected during this test.
Stability of the equipment and hop will be easiest monitored on
BER test with pattern-generator on a 2Mb/s.

BER Thresholds
The Viterbi decoder is a component using a Viterbi low complexity
algorithm for decoding/error correcting the received bit-sequence in the
NE. The viterbi error rate is used as a quality measurement for the radio
hop.
When the Viterbi error rate exceeds certain values, alarms are generated.
The threshold values decides when alarms are generated. The threshold
values can be changed by the user.

Laser Control
Available on CityLink Fast Ethernet Line Terminal only.
The optical port may or may not have implemented Automatic Laser
Shutdown (ALS). This is a function designed for eye safety purposes,
according to ITU-T rec. G.958. When implemented, ALS may be enabled
or disabled.
When ALS is not implemented or enabled the laser must be turned on/off
manually.
When ALS is enabled, the laser automatically will restart after a waiting
time period (selectable), when having previously been turned off. (If the
section of operation is not connected or Loss Of Optical Signal from far
end is detected, the laser will again be turned off after 2 sec.) The waiting
period is by default set to 1 minute.
The Laser Control configuration sheet can be opened from the Configuration context menu of the Optical Line node under the IDU node in
the Explorer view. The sheet can also be invoked by selecting (highlighting) the Optical Line node under the IDU node in the Explorer view and
then selecting Edit

This module is an extension to the fault management framework defined
by the NERA-MIB specification. It supplies an extension to the previous
fault log which is more configurable than the previous. In addition it
supplies new functionality where a manager can query all supported alarm
types from the equipment and retrieve descriptions and node information
for each one. This will reduce the linking between the management
software and the agent considerable.

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.
B4008 Rev. M
349
CityLink
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.
3.3
Alarm Presentation
In all views, where network information is presented, colors are used to
indicate the alarm severity status of the NEs. To easily identify the status
of the NEs, all alarms are classified according to their severity. Each alarm
severity class has a color. In the different views, the NEs change colors
according to the color of their most severe alarm. The alarm classifications are described in the table below.

CityLink
The Explorer view use the severity colours to indicate alarm events. The
alarms are presented in a hierarchical manner. The colour of the most
severe alarm is inherited from the leaf where the alarm was identified, to
all branch leaves up to the section symbol. 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.
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.

Cable Fault
If a cable fault is indicated, it indicates that the 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 from
the IDU and leave the ODU connected. Measure the DC cable resistance
between the centre pin and the outer conductor of the N-type connector
terminating the cable by means of a multi-meter.
to a few M
:
If resistance is in the order of some hundreds k
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.
