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.
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).

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.

6 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
6 .1 ADAPTIVE MO
MODULATION
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.

CHARACTERIST
STIC
ICS
S
The line interfaces (LAN1 and LAN2 GE with PoE facilities, LAN3 and LAN4 optical up to 2.5Gbps) are con-
nected to an embedded Ethernet switch. Ethernet traffic is forwarded to the radio interface through 2x 2.5
Gbps port, one for radio branch (BB, IF and RF unit). Network synchronism can be acquired and provided
by each Ethernet switch port.
See Fig.14

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.

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.

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:
• through
through WebLCT

Fig.24).
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
Tab.15..
Error [dB] @
Received Signal [dBm] Signal Output [V] Error [dB] @25°C
-33°C ÷ +65°C
-20 3 ±2 ±4
-30 2.5 ±2 ±4
-40 2 ±2 ±4
-50 1.5 ±2 ±4
-60 1 ±2 ±4
-70 0.5 ±2 ±4
-80 0 ±2 ±4
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.

The best antenna alignment gives the higher Rx signal power level with the higher S/N ratio (see Fig.49

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).

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

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.

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.

How these operations are carried out is specified in “Line–up” section or, more widely, in A LFOplus2 man-
ual.
Troubleshooting purpose is to locate the faulty unit and replace it with a spare after having verified that
the cause of faulty is not external to the equipment.

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).

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.
1 5 .1 GENERAL
ALFOplus2 is programmed and supervised using CLI, WebLCT or NMS5UX/LX. These software are f ully de-
scribed in separated manuals.

Provider Bridge mode).
Warning: Only MNGT and TRX ports are enabled by default. All the oth er interfaces (LAN1, LAN2, LAN3 and
LAN4) are disabled.
In general the management plane can be configured using CLI (see separated software manual). In par-

- Transmit power with ACM Hybrid Mode: the ACM profiles above the
reference modulation transmit in Peak Constant
Mode (i.e. each modulation transmits the output
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.
