rack circuit breaker is off before connecting/disconnecting power cable.
3-1
DANGER
Possibility of
Injury
to Personnel
Short circuiting low-voltage, low-impedance dc circuits can

cause arcing that may result in burns or eye injury. Remove
rings, watches, and other metal jewelry while working with
primary circuits. Exercise caution to avoid shorting input
power terminals.
WARNING
Possibility of

WARNING
Possibility of
Damage
to Equipment
Do not apply battery power until it is determined that A and

B battery cables with isolated returns and power cables are
wired correctly. With power applied, reverse polarity on wir-
ing (+batt wired to -batt pin on connector) can cause power
supply fuse to blow.
Note
Grounding of pole, antenna, customer interfaces, and all entrances to
the building interior shall meet local electrical code and standard
business practices.

3.4 ETHERNET CABLE CONNECTIONS
Part numbers are assigned for unshielded, straight-through CAT5 UTP (PN 3AL48960AA-
AL) and CAT5E UTP (PN 3AL15052AA-AL) cables. The CAT5 or CAT5E cables can be used
for 10/100/1000BASE-T applications, however the CT5E cable is the recommended cable for
1000BASE-T applications. The CAT5E cable has a tighter, higher quality twisting on the wire
pairs and is less susceptible to crosstalk. Refer to Table 3 - 3 and Table 3 - 4 for pinout. See
Figure 3 - 6 for pair wire colors. See Figure 3 - 7 and Figure 3 - 8 for interconnect information.
3.4.1 Automatic MDI/MDI-X Configuration

The Ethernet PHY provides automatic Medium Dependent Interface (MDD/Medium Inde-
pendent Interface-crossover (MDI-X). Automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration eliminates the
need for crossover cables.
3.4.2 Crossover Cable Option

Crossover type cables with pin 1 wired to pin 3 and pin 2 wired to pin 6 can be used, but
are not necessary. Crossover is automatically performed by the Core Card, resulting in a
straight-through interface to the link partner.

4 INITIAL TURNUP
4.1 SECTION INTRODUCTION
This section describes the procedures required to turn up the 9500 MPR Microwave
Packet Radios after installation.
This provisioning part of the section describes provisioning options available with the 9500
MPR software application. Provisioning allows for the definition, editing, and storing of
specific functions.
4.2 RECOMMENDED SEQUENCE

Perform the following initial turnup procedures in sequence:
A. Install software on PC (2 CDs).
Note
Software installed at the factory before delivery should not be over-
written by downloading to the radio controller at initial turnup. Refer
to Maintenance section on the attached CD for procedure to upgrade
existing software.
B. Turn on the radio.

C. Establish communication between radio and PC.
Note
Saving provisioning on disk provides a reference for any future provi-
sioning changes.
D. Provision radio and save to disk.
4.3 SECURITY MANAGEMENT
Note
A password is required to operate the 9500 MPR. The radio is shipped
with a default password and if a new password is desired, it must be
entered using the Change Password screen. Once entered initially, the
password must be entered each time the user wants to access the NE.
4-1
The 9500 MPR application software offers user password security management using four
different levels of passwords. User security deals with access level assigned to specific
users. The level of user security affects the type and number of commands an individual
user may execute. This prevents an unqualified user’s access to high-level commands.
There are four user profiles defined for NMS systems.

• Administrator (full access also for NMS local system security parameters)
• Constructor (person in charge for network design; full access to NEs but not for secu-
rity parameters and backup/restore feature)
• Operator (access to network only; No access to radio)
• Viewer (view screens only)
At the NE installation time, two default user accounts are created on NE independently
from the SNMP operating mode.
• Username: initial
• Password: adminadmin
• Profile: administrator
• Username: Craftperson
• Password: craftcraft
• Profile: craftPerson
4.4 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

This section explains how to prepare the TCO Suite and Craft Terminal applications in
your PC.
4.4.1 Getting Started
Note
Read the following before getting started.
• The operator must be familiar with the use of personal computers in WINDOWS envi-
ronment, internally from which the NE application software operates.

Note
When the Mode is changed from Presetting to Adaptive Modulation,
the radio defaults to 14 MHz bandwidth at 4 QAM. If the capacity of
the radio (number of E1 lines cross connected) exceeds the available
capacity of a 14 MHz Channel at 4 QAM, Adaptive Modulation will
not enable. It may be necessary to perform one of the following provi-
sioning changes:
1. Reduce the quantity of E1 lines being transported to meet the required

capacity.
2. Increase Reference Channel Spacing.

4.6.3 Provision Synchronization
All 9500 MPR radios in the network must be synchronized to the same clock. One radio in
the network is provisioned Master. All other radios in the network must be provisioned
Slave. The slave radios all sync to the clock provided by the master.
4.6.3.1 Normal Operation

During normal operation, the master can be provisioned to get sync clock from two sepa-
rate sources: an internal local oscillator (most common source) or external clock from cus-
tomer provided equipment. The slave radios can be provisioned to receive the sync clock
from one of two sources: clock recovered by the radio receiver or the sync clock from
another radio in the network. Normally at a repeater, the sync clock is received over the
RF path and recovered by the radio receiver. A typical slave terminal uses the clock from
an adjacent radio. See Figure 4 - 13 for typical master terminal provisioning. See Figure 4 -
13 for typical slave terminal provisioning.
4.6.3.2 Failed Primary Operation

With the exception of the master when the radio is provisioned to sync off the local oscilla-
tor, the provisioned secondary sync source is enabled if the primary source fails. When the
master, provisioned to accept sync clock at the core from an external source, fails, the inter-
nal free-running local oscillator is enabled. Provisioning choices for the secondary source
for slave radios are dependent upon the choices made from the primary source.
4.6.3.3 Sync Switching

With the exception of the master when the radio is provisioned to sync off the local oscilla-
tor, the sync clock source is switched from primary to secondary if the primary source fails.
Sync clock switching provisioning is dependent on the role of the radio in the network
(master or slave) and on user preference. A revertive switching feature is a provisioning
option that restores the sync clock to the original source when the alarm on the primary
source is cleared. If revertive switching is not selected, the secondary sync source will con-
tinue to provide sync clock, and if the secondary source fails, must be manually switched to
the primary source.

5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 INTRODUCTION
This section contains information and procedures to aid in restoring the equipment to
its proper operating condition after it has been determined that a problem exists.
The following warnings and cautions apply while operating, performance testing, trouble-
shooting, or repairing the 9500 MPR series radios.
DANGER
Possibility of
Injury
to Personnel
Short circuits in low-voltage, low-impedance dc circuits can cause

severe arcing that may result in burns or eye injury. Remove rings,
watches, and other metal jewelry while working with primary cir-
cuits. Exercise caution to avoid shorting power input terminals.
CAUTION
Possibility of
Service
Interruption
Units with the electrostatic-sensitive (ESS) symbol contain ESS

devices. Store these units in an antistatic container when not in use,
and anyone handling a unit should observe antistatic precautions.
Refer to the Special Precautions pages in the front of the instruction
book for detailed handling information.
Note
Ensure that all antennas are properly aligned and waveguide is in
good physical condition.
Note
Before performing procedures that might in any way affect transmis-
sion, it is recommended that the person performing the procedure
understand the FCC Rules and Regulations pertaining to the equip-
ment and be properly authorized to operate the equipment.
5-1
5.2 MAINTENANCE PHILOSOPHY
This section provides information and procedures for equipment maintenance down to the
Card level. Card repair is not covered in this manual.
The use of maintenance procedures in this section may result from failure of a periodic
check, an alarm indication, or unacceptable performance.
5.3 PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC)/LAPTOP

Connect the RJ 45 Interface cable between Craft Terminal connector on the Core Card and
the PC.
5.4 TROUBLESHOOTING
This section provides guidance on:
• Before Going to Site Checklist

• Troubleshooting Basics
• Troubleshooting Path Problems
• Troubleshooting Configuration Problems
• Troubleshooting Ethernet Problems
• Troubleshooting TMN Problems
5.4.1 Before Going to Site Checklist

Where possible, before going to site obtain the following information:
• Does the fault require immediate attention?

• Determine who is the best-placed person to attend the fault.
• Confirm the nature and severity of the reported fault, its location, 9500 MPR type, fre-
quency band, high/low end ODU, capacity modulation and configuration (nonprotected,
protected, diversity). Ask:
• Is just one 9500 MPR link affected, or a number of links in the same geographi-
cal area?
• Is the path down completely or is traffic passing but with a BER alarm?
• Is only one or a number of tributaries affected?
• Could the fault be in the equipment connected to 9500 MPR, rather than in
9500 MPR? Are there alarms on other, connected equipment?
• Is it a hard or intermittent fault?
• Do alarms confirm which end of an alarmed link is faulty?
5-2
• Could the weather (rain, ice, high wind, temperature) be a factor in the reported fault?
Note
If the fault suggests a rain fade or other weather related fade condi-
tion and it matches the prevailing weather conditions, do not take any
action until the weather abates.
• Does link history suggest any fault trends?

• Does the fault history for the link indicate a likely cause?
• Is the 9500 MPR link newly installed?
• Has there been any recent work done on the link?
• Ensure that you have with you:

• Appropriate spares. Where an equipment failure is suspected, these should
include replacement Cards/plug-ins and ODU. If an ODU is suspected then
local/national climbing safety requirements must be adhered to.
• A laptop PC loaded with Craft Terminal, and an Ethernet cable. If an Ethernet

connection is to be used, you need the 9500 MPR Node/Terminal IP address and
also the addresses for any remote sites to be accessed.
• If login security has been enabled, you need the ‘engineer’ password for the local
and also any remote sites to be accessed.
• Any special test equipment that may be needed, such as a BER tester.
• Toolkit.
• Key(s) for access to the site.
5.4.2 Troubleshooting Basics

This section provides general guidance on 9500 MPR troubleshooting:
• Check front-panel LED indications. These provide summary alarm indications, which can
help narrow down the location and type of failure. Refer to Operation section for
details.
• Where a Status LED on a plug-in is off (unlit), but power to the MS is confirmed
by LEDs on other plug-ins, check the seating of the affected plug-in.
• Check Main Screen. When logging into 9500 MPR with Craft Terminal, the opening
screen is the Main Screen. Use the information provided to check for severity and
problem type. Refer to Table 5 - 1, Alarm Matrix, for probable cause and recommended
action.

• Check the basics first.

• For example, if multiple alarms are present, and these include power supply
voltage or hardware alarms, always check their cause before looking at result-
ant down-stream path failure or path warning (signal) alarms.
• Similarly, if a path-related failure is indicated (no hardware or software

alarms), investigate the path. Go to the Craft Terminal History screen (15
minute view) to check supporting data, such as low RSL and incidence of inter-
mittent pre-failure BER alarms, which if present are evidence of a path-related
failure. Refer to Para. 5.4.3 for more information.
• Check if symptoms match the alarm. Alarms reflect the alarm state, but in exceptional cir-
cumstances an alarm may be raised because of a failure to communicate correctly with
the alarm source, or a failure in alarm management processing. Always check to see if
symptoms match the alarm, using LED indications and the Craft Terminal.
• Check if recent work may be a cause. Recent work at the site may be a cause or contribut-
ing factor. Check for a configuration change, software upgrade, power recycling (reboot),
or other site work:
• Many hardware alarms are only initiated as a loss-of-communications alarm
during a reboot, software upgrade, or reconfiguration. By not being able to com-
municate with the Core, their settings cannot be loaded. The fault may be at the
hardware device (most likely), communications to it, or the Core.
• Hardware/software compatibility alarms will be raised when a new plug-in is

installed that needs a later version of 9500 MPR software.
• Hardware incompatible alarms will be raised when a plug-in is installed in a

slot that has been configured for a different plug-in.
5-7
• MSS before an ODU. If there is doubt about whether a fault is in the MSS or ODU,
always replace the MSS first; it is quicker and easier.
• Hot-pluggable. MSS cards are hot-pluggable. There is no need to power-down before
replacing, but traffic will be lost unless the plug-in is protected.
• Plug-in restoration time. Ensure adequate time is allowed for services to resume when a
plug-in is replaced.
5.4.3 Troubleshooting Path Problems

A path-related problem, with the exception of interference, is characterized by traffic being
similarly affected in both directions. Generally, if you are experiencing only a one-way
problem, it is not a path problem.
Note
A path extends from ODU antenna port to ODU antenna port.
• Normally a path problem is signalled by a reduced RSL, and depending on

its severity, a high BER.
• Only in worst case situations, such as an antenna knocked out of alignment,
will a path fail completely, and stay that way.
• For weather-related problems, such as rain or ducting, the path problem will
disappear as the weather returns to normal.
5.4.3.1 Path Problems on a Commissioned Link

A path problem on an existing link, one that has ben operating satisfactorily may be
caused by:
• Weather-related path degradation

If BER alarms are fleeting/not permanent and RSL returns to its normal, commissioned
level after the alarm is cleared, rain, diffraction, or multipath fading is indicated. Rain
fade is the likely cause of fade for links 13 GHz and higher. Diffraction and multipath/duct-
ing for links 11 GHz and lower. If these alarms are persistent, there could be a problem
with the link design or original installation.
• Changed antenna alignment or antenna feed problem

If RSLs do not return to commissioned levels after a period of exceptionally strong winds,
suspect antenna alignment. Also, check the antenna for physical damage, such as may
occur with ice-fall. For a remote-mounted ODU, check its antenna feeder.
• New path obstruction

Where all other parameters check as normal, and the path has potential for it to be
obstructed by construction works, view/survey the path for possible new obstructions.
5-8
• Interference from other signal sources
Interference usually affects traffic in just one direction. Unlike other path problems, RSL
is not affected. If suspected, check for new link installations at, or in the same geograph-
ical area, as the affected site. Ultimately, a spectrum analyzer may have to be used to
confirm interference, which is not an easy task given the need to connect directly to the
antenna port, after removing the ODU.
5.4.3.2 Path Problems on a New Link

For a new link, potential problems can extend to also include:
• Incorrect antenna alignment

One or both antennas incorrectly aligned. Refer to Installation alignment procedure
on CD.
• Mismatching antenna polarizations

Given a typical polarization discrimination of 30 dB, for most links it is not possible to cap-
ture a signal to begin the antenna alignment process.
• Incorrect path calculations

If the RSLs are too low or too high, antenna alignment is correct, and Tx power settings
are correct, check the path calculations used to determine the link performance. A good
calculation match is +/- 2dB. Disagreements in excess of 3 dB should be investigated.
• Reflections
Reflection (path cancellation) problems may not have been picked up at the path planning
stage, particularly if the survey was a simple line-of-sight. If suspected, resurvey the path.
5.4.4 Troubleshooting Configuration Problems

Configuration problems should only occur during the setup of a new link, or reconfigura-
tion of an existing link. The more common problems may be broadly categorized as:
• Compatibility Problems
The two alarms that may activate are Configuration Not Supported and SW/HW Incom-
patible:
Configuration Not Supported: The plug-in installed is not enabled or is incorrect

for the configuration.
SW/HW Incompatible: Typically raised when new hardware is plugged into an

existing MSS that has software from an earlier release. To remove the alarm,
compatible 9500 MPR software is required; install the latest software.
5-9
• Incorrect circuit connections
No alarms are activated for incorrect circuit connections. An incorrect assignment means
the expected end-to-end circuit connectivity will not happen. Re-check circuit assignments
for all nodes carrying the lost circuit(s).
Take extra care when configuring ring circuits.
• Incorrect ID naming and commissioning

All traffic-carrying circuits must have a unique flow ID for the cross-connect capability to
operate.
• Incorrect/incompatible trib settings

Trib line interface settings incorrect, or line levels incompatible. While no alarm activates
for an incorrect setting, its effect may result in line levels being too low (LOS alarm), or too
high, resulting in a high BER.
5.4.5 Troubleshooting Ethernet Problems

This section gives general guidance on troubleshooting problems related to the four Ether-
net ports on the Core Card.
The most common Ethernet problems are network and connectivity related and therefore
always check the following first:
• Verify link partner capability, provisioning, and connection

• Verify radio provisioning matches link partner
• Verify cabling between radio and link partner
The LEDs on the Core Card front panel for each Ethernet connector are a good indicator of
correct connectivity and activity on the Ethernet port. Refer to Table 5 - 2 for detail trouble-
shooting using the LEDs locally at the alarmed site.

The yellow LED opposite the green on the connector indicates activity only. The flashing
yellow LED is not an indicator of signal type or quality.
5-11
5.4.6 Troubleshooting TMN Problems
This section gives general guidance on troubleshooting TMN problems related to Ethernet
port 4 on the Core Card. Ethernet port 4 on the Core Card can be used to transport SNMP
IP data. Troubleshoot port 4 connectivity alarms the same as Ethernet ports 1-3. Refer to
Para. 5.4.5.
The most common TMN problems are network related and first alert is normally observed
by improper operation at the SNMP master. Always check the following first:
• Verify master is properly registered in NE to receive traps.

• Verify SNMP version matches system requirements
• Verify correct community string and privileges
• Verify proper network routing.
Refer to Table 5 - 1 for detail TMN network troubleshooting.

5.5 CARD REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
The basic rules for installing plug-in cards are as follows:
WARNING
Possibility of
Damage
to Equipment
Never install, change or remove a card without first connect-

ing to the shelf with an ESD grounding cable. Failure to do so
may cause ESD damage to the cards.
WARNING
Possibility of
Damage
to Equipment
Plug-ins must be withdrawn and inserted using their finger-

grip fastener/pulls. Never withdraw or insert using attached
cable(s). Pulling on the cables may damage the cable, plug-
in connector, and/or plug-in card connector attachment.
WARNING
Possibility of
Damage
to Equipment
When installing a plug-in, ensure its backplane connector is

correctly engaged before applying sufficient pressure to
bring the plug-in panel flush with the front panel. Improper
alignment can result in damaged pins on the backplane con-
nector and/or damage to the plug-in connector.
CAUTION
Possibility of
Service
Interruption
All slots must be filled with either a peripheral plug-in card or

a blank panel. Failure to do so will compromise EMC integrity
and cooling air from the fan.
5-14
CAUTION
Possibility of
Service
Interruption
Use extreme caution when connecting or disconnecting the

ODU cable on the Radio Modem Card. The shelf battery volt-
age is present on the center conductor of the connector. When
removing or replacing a Radio Modem Card, withdraw the
card from the shelf before disconnecting the cable to the ODU.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause arcing and/or pos-
sible power spikes that could affect traffic on other links
installed at the node.
CAUTION
Possibility of
Service
Interruption
Removing an in-service card in an unprotected link will cause

loss of traffic. Removing an in-service card in a protected link
requires switching the traffic onto the standby (protection)
channel.
• The main Core Card, standby Core Card, and fan card have dedicated slots.
• The E1 Access Card and Radio Modem Cards (peripherals) can be installed in any of
the universal slots (3 through 8).
• The MSS-8 can be configured with a maximum of six peripherals; three protected
links, six non-protected links, or a combination of protected and non-protected links.
• For protected links, main and standby (spare) peripherals must be plugged in side-
by-side.
• All plug-ins can be removed and installed with power applied.
CAUTION
Possibility of
Service
Interruption
If the main Core Card fails, traffic and platform data will
switch to the spare Core Card automatically. Do not remove
power from the NE during the removal and replacement of the
failed main Core Card without first reviewing/performing the
following procedure:
5-15

WARNING
Possibility of
Damage
to Equipment
Do not use acid, alcohol, or brushes to clean cards because

damage to the silkscreen labeling and antistatic coating can
result. Cleaning should be confined to the removal of dust and
dirt using a damp cloth.
Cleaning should normally be confined to the removal of dust and dirt using a soft bristled
(natural fiber) brush and a low velocity blower (such as a vacuum cleaner with a plastic
blower nozzle). Do not use acid or synthetic bristled brushes to clean cards that contain
electrostatic-sensitive components.

Note
Some menu functions are purposely faded to indicate they are not cur-
rently available. Only available functions are described.
This section contains descriptions of screens not used or described in other sections.
6.2 CROSS-CONNECT SCREEN

The cross-connect screen is used to configure switching of packetized data through the
Core Card. Using this screen, the operator can switch:
• E1 (ports) lines from/to an E1 Access Card to/from a Radio Modem Card and/or any of
four Ethernet ports on the Core Card.
• Ethernet data from/to an external source to/from a Radio Modem Card and/or to/from
an E1 Access Card.
The screen allows the operator to select E1, Ethernet, and/or radio ports as source and des-
tination ports and provides a graphical presentation of the switch functions.
A PDH or radio peripheral can be installed in slots 3 through 8.

6.2.1 Helpful Hints

Icon Shapes
The shape of the icon identifies the card in the slot as Radio Modem Card or E1 Access
Card, or one of four Ethernet connectors on the Core Card.
6-1
Icon Colors
The colors of the icons on the cross-connect screen can be used to quickly determine the
current state of the source and destination. For example:
A white icon indicates the ports are enabled but are not currently cross connected.
A blue icon on ETH ports indicates the ports are disabled. A blue icon on Radio and PDH
ports indicates the ports are disabled or full cross connected.
A green icon indicates that the ports are cross connected.
6-2
Line Colors
The drag and drop line the operator inserts between icons indicates an electrical connec-
tion. The color of the line indicates type of data and direction.
Black Line – E1 to Radio
Blue Line – E1 to Ethernet
Red Line – Radio to Radio
Green Line – Radio to Ethernet

6.2.2 Cross-Connecting Rules and Guidelines

6.2.2.1 Cross-Connecting E1 Lines
Access Card through the Core Card to the Radio Modem Card:
1 The license key installed on the Core Card determines the number of E1
ports that can be cross-connected.
2 The E1 access Card (E1 source) and Radio Modem Card (destination) must be
Enabled on the respective card provisioning screens.
3 Each E1 port to be cross-connected must be Enabled on the E1 provisioning
screen.
4 Each E1 port to be cross-connected must have a Flow ID number assigned to
it on the E1 provisioning screen. Refer to Flow ID number rules.
5 The Flow ID number check box on the cross-connect screen must be checked
for each E1 port to be cross-connected.
6.2.2.2 Flow ID Number Rules

The Flow ID number entered by the operator on the E1 provisioning screen is one of the
parameters the software management uses to determine source, destination, and direction
of the E1 port when the data is switched in the Core Card. The following rules apply to the
Flow ID:
1 Number is unique to the entire network. It cannot be used in any other radio
or hop in the network.
6.2.2.3 Cross-Connecting Ethernet to E1 Access card

1 The license key installed on the Core Card determines the capacity of the
Ethernet data that can be cross-connected.
2 The Ethernet port (source) and E1 Access Card (destination) must be

Enabled on the respective Core Card and E1 Access Card provisioning
screens.
3 The E1 Access Card port to be cross-connected must have a Flow ID number

assigned to it on the E1 Access Card provisioning screen. Refer to the Flow ID
Number rules.
4 The Flow ID number check box on the cross-connect screen must be checked
for each Ethernet port to be cross-connected.

Figure 6 - 5 Access State Menu
The NE can be managed by the Operating System (OS) or by the Craft Terminal (CT). The
selection of the NE manager is controlled by the Local Access Control (LAC) function. The
OS manages the NE until a request to manage from the Craft Terminal is received (via
LAC) and granted. The request is initiated by the user clicking on the Requested button on
the menu and then answering yes to the resulting confirmation message. The LAC request
can be denied by the OS (if for example the OS is in a state of recovery from a temporary
loss of communication with the NE).
The request to manage starts a timer. If the OS doesn’t answer a CT request to manage in a
predefined time, the CT automatically becomes the NE manager. The predefined time is
set by the user on the LAC Time Out Period screen (See Figure 6 - 6).
The manager currently managing the NE is indicated on the Craft Terminal screen by the
shape of the icon with the key symbol.
