GENERAL
This document describes the IP BOX-B unit, its characteristics, its activation procedure and the relevant
maintenance operations.
1.2
DESCRIPTION
The IP BOX unit is an equipment used in a TMN network to connect NE(s) to the Management System (SIAE
- NMS5UX). It can be used as an IP or IP-OSI (IS-IS) router providing four interface types:
ETHERNET LA N - 10Base T
E1 line (nx64Kbit/s port or nx16Kbit/s into a 64Kbit/s time slot or 16Kbit/s using TS0)
In addition a USB (V1.0) port is reserved for LCT (Local Craft Terminal) access.
Two software versions are available:
1. IP-BOX with IP communication stack
2. IP BOX with IP and OSI communication stack
The IP Box is composed of a printed circuit board that can be housed:
in a small metallic box with connectors placed on the front and rear panels (Fig.12).
Fig.11 represents a simplified block-diagram of the unit. This diagram shows the most important functional
blocks and the relevant ports towards the IP network.
The main functional blocks of the IP BOX are as follows:
power supply;
controller;
FPGA - E1 Drop/Insert;
Ethernet L2 Switch.
1.2.1
Power supply
The Power supply block of the IP BOX is composed of two DC/DC converters in cascade. The first one is
devoted to transform the battery main voltage (20 72v DC range), coming from the ALARM LINES connector into 5v DC, while the second one converts this 5v DC into 3.3v DC.
The electrical characteristics of the Power supply block are as follows:
-
Primary voltage
(ALARM LINES connector)
from 18 72v DC
Secondary voltages
5v DC, 3.3v DC
Power Consumption
less than 6W
1.2.2
Controller
The Controller block is composed of a 32 bit/50 MHz Motorola ColdFire micro-controller and the relevant
memory benches
The main characteristics of the controller block are as follows:
-
Clock:
50 MHz
8 MBytes
Dynamic Memory:
32 MBytes
Serial Ports:
1.2.3
Drop/Insert
The Drop/Insert block is composed of a FPGA connected with the line interfaces of the input and output 2
Mbit/s streams. The IP BOX unit receives and transmits a 2 Mbit/s stream and it is able to drop and to
insert a data stream into nx64Kb/s time slots of the 2Mbit/s signal or into an nx16Kb/s of a selected 64Kb/
s time slot or into the spare bits in Time Slot0. The Drop/Insert operations are executed by the FPGA under
the direct control of the Controller block.
1.2.4
E1 Line interfaces
The line interfaces, present into the IP BOX unit, work with 2 Mbit/s HDB3 encoded streams. Each line interface has different functions related to the direction of the data stream and are referred to as INPUT and
OUTPUT, their functions are as follows:
input data - The interface regenerates the input signal and balances attenuation due to the cable
as detailed by ITU G.703/G.704 specifications.
output data - The interface provides a data stream with the electric characteristics detailed by ITU
G.703/G.704 specifications.

If DC power is removed from the IP BOX unit, the unit becomes transparent to the 2 Mbit/s lines towards
the user and the master station.
1.2.5
Ethernet L2 Switch
It is possible to connect to each of the internal ports a serial frame generated by an nx64Kbit/s drop/insert
signal on the E1s it is also possible to connect the 64Kb/s synchronous signal frame coming from RS422
port.
The two Ethernet interfaces of the IP BOX unit follow specification 802.3 with MAU transceiver 10BaseT
and standard RJ45 connector.
The two Ethernet ports are configurable (using SCT) as:
"Auto Cross".
1.3
INSTALLATION
This paragraph describes the mechanical and electrical installation practices of the IP BOX unit.
1.3.1
Mechanical installation

The IP BOX unit is managed through SNMP protocol using a proprietary MIB (Management Information
Base) which details the managed objects.
The SNMP v1 protocol is used in accordance with RFC 1157 spec; MIB description is according to V1 syntax,
the unit is fully complaint with these specifications:
According to the network type and customer requirements the IP BOX supporting SNMP protocol can be
provided with two protocol stacks: a "Full IP stack" or an "OSI+IP stack".
As an option the "Full IP stack" version supports dynamic IP routing through OSPF (Open Shortest Path
First) protocol.
When implementing OSI+IP stack, layers 1 to 3 are compliant with the recommendations:

LAN interconnection
Because the IP BOX provides one serial controller, the operator has to select which E1 to connect. The
supported protocol is PPP for "Full IP" version or LAPD for "IP-OSI" version.
The maximum number of 64Kbit/s is four.
It is mandatory the use of the serial controller (PPP or LAPD protocol) with TS0 spare bits and nx16Kbit/s
Ohe nx64Kbit/s (n<=31) dropped/inserted from/to an E1 signal can be connected to an internal port of L2
Switch (Fig.11) and in this way it can be used to connect two remote IP-BOX (WAN interconnection between two Ethernet LAN switches).
Two internal L2 switch ports are available (Fig.11), to these ports two TS Group (TSG1 and TSG2) can
be connected. The two TSG can belong or not to the same E1.
Using the "Lan per port" L2 switch feature it is possible to separate the traffic coming from the LAN ports
and addressed to the internal CPU and/or to the two TSG.
Fig.13 reports the SCT window used to configure E1 drop/insert features.

The maintenance of the IP BOX unit consists of the activation of the relevant alarm signals.
In case of a positive hardware fail, it is necessary to replace the entire unit.
The alarm management is executed according to the following modes:
By means of four LEDs present on the front panel of the equipment for the stand alone version (refer
to Fig.12);
The illumination of each LED has the following meaning:
-
Rx:
Tx:

By means of a led present on the front panel of the equipment in 1RU version (refer to Fig.13).
When the "STATUS":LED is illuminated GREEN the IP-BOX is functioning normally
By means of the supervisory software (refer to the manual of the relevant supervisory software)

Do not touch the bare hands until the circuit has been opened. pen the circuit by switching off the line
switches. If that is not possible protect yourself with dry material and free the patient from the conductor.
2.1.1
Artificial respiration
It is important to start mouth resoutputtion at once and to call a doctor immediately. suggested procedure
for mouth to mouth resoutputtion method is described in the Tab.3.
2.1.2
Treatment of burns
This treatment should be used after the patient has regained consciousness. It can also be employed while
artificial respiration is being applied (in this case there should be at least two persons present).

Description
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
stomach is slightly lower than his chest. Open the patients
mouth and check that there is no foreign matter in mouth (dentures, chewing gum, etc.).
Figure
Kneel beside the patient level with his head. Put an hand under
the patients head and one under his neck.
2
Shift the hand from the patients neck to his chin and his
mouth, the index along his jawbone, and keep the other fingers
closed together.

While performing these operations take a good supply of oxygen by taking deep breaths with your mouth open
With your thumb between the patients chin and mouth keep
his lips together and blow into his nasal cavities
2.2
SAFETY RULES
When the equipment units are provided with the plate, shown in Fig.15, it means that they contain components electrostatic charge sensitive.
