5. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The following configurations are supported:

5.1 UNPROTECTED (1+0)



Figure 5-1: Unprotected configuration system
5.2 HOT STANDBY (1+1)


Figure 5-2: Protected configuration system-hot standby, Single Antenna
In the hot standby mode, only one IDU is in Tx operation at the transmitting end, the other
IDU is in Tx Standby (with the transmitting function muted).

When an error occurs, the active IDU transmitter will be shut down and replaced with the
standby IDU transmitter.

At the receiving end, both receivers and modulators are in operation. Each receiver will
receive the same RF signal and then the two demodulators will demodulate the received
signal. The better of the two signals will be selected and sent as user traffic.


5.3 FREQUENCY DIVERSITY (1+1)

In the Frequency Diversity mode, the two channels are fed with the same signal resource.

Data is distributed to the two channels by an equal split coupler, and then sent to the
corresponding IF Modules; each having the modulator and transmitter in operation.

At the receiving end, each receiver and demodulator is receiving and demodulating the
signals from different RF channels. The better of the two signals will be selected and
exported.

In the Space Diversity mode, the best or either receive signals is exported out of the IDU.

The best signal is based on a comparison of the amount of Forward Error Correction applied
to the signals. The IDUs compare each data frame and then vote on which frame matches
the original, exporting this frame.

True Space Diversity would normally use two antennas however the Space Diversity
function is automatically enabled when either the Hot Standby mode or Frequency Diversity
mode is selected.

NOTE:

For optimal protection, one Surge Arrestor is located at the N-Type connector of the
ODU and the other is located at the N-Type connector of the IDU.

The Ground Kit is installed on the IF Cable at the point of entry into the equipment
room or shelter or building.

As the Surge Arrestor is designed to be sacrificial, the location should allow for easy
installation and removal.



6.7 ANTENNA ASSEMBLY

Antennas which have multiple components must be re-assembled carefully to ensure
mechanical performance is achieved.


6.7.1 Feeder Cable Assembly
Take normal precautions when preparing and handling feeder cables and waveguides to
ensure they are not damaged by their own weight.

Cable should not be pulled with a radius less than that determined for the installed
cable/waveguide.

Due to limitations of side bearing pressure, it is recommended that larger radius bends be
used.

Inspect the cable/waveguide ends for small metal fragments; remove unwanted objects
before each connector is installed.

Always protect the cables and waveguides from damage, use cable clips where needed.



6.7.2 Moisture Proofing
Extreme care should be exercised with waveguides before and after installation to ensure
that moisture does not enter the waveguide.

Keep the waveguide dry while in storage with ends tightly capped.

Connectors, and fittings, to be located outdoors should be made mechanically tight, and with
any factory supplied sealing fittings installed.

Moisture problems in antenna systems are usually traced back to connectors which have
NOT been properly protected.

Moisture protection may be required which includes, dry nitrogen, compressors or
dehydrators.


ATL-NIX-42 INSTALLATION GUIDE

ATL-NIX-42 Mixed Access Page 26


6.7.3 Drip-Loop
AT Electronic & Communication Limited International recommends that every horizontal
cable entry to the antenna feed, forms a 'U' before its entry to equipment and antenna. This
prevents any accumulation of water on the cable.



6.7.4 Antenna Connections
The antenna has been designed for all cable/waveguide entries from the rear of the antenna
feed assembly.

7.3 IDU FUNCTIONALITY
Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is implemented for the digital filtering and processing of
modulated and demodulated signals. Using DSP, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is reduced
which improves Bit Error Rate performance, thus enhancing the performance of a
communication system is then enhanced.

In parallel with the above, the application of advanced Forward Error Correction (FEC)
enables a number of errors to be detected and corrected without requiring retransmission,
thus reducing the RSL threshold and improving the performance of system gain.



ATL-NIX-42 INSTALLATION GUIDE

ATL-NIX-42 Mixed Access Page 29


Signal Processing

The following signals are processed by the IDU:

Ethernet Interface: for LAN signal input and output

NMS Interface: for monitoring and management.

EOW Interface: provides voice connection between ends of a radio link.

Auxiliary Data Channels: providing users with serial data interfaces via AUX interface. The
RS-232 or RS-422 protocol is available for these interfaces. Both synchronous and
asynchronous modes are provided. Auxiliary data can be transmitted through this channel.


7.3.1 ODU parameters
Frequency Point Selection

The operational frequency of the ODU can be configured through the monitoring system
such as the NMS, or via a web browser.

Transmit Power Control Function

Through the monitoring system, the ODU Tx output power can be configured.


Automatic Gain Control (AGC)

The ODU automatically controls the gain of the receiver amplifiers to ensure that the IF level
is consistent for delivery to the IDU. This ensures the performance of the entire system.

NOTE:

This feature is not accessible to the End User


ATPC

Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) allows the link elements to automatically adjust
the output power of the ODUs to achieve the ATPC Trigger Level.

If the Received Signal Level (RSL) of the local ODU drops to a level lower than the ATPC
Trigger Level, i.e. RSL < ATPC Trigger Level, the local MW equipment will send a power
increase request to the remote equipment.

When the remote MW equipment receives the power increase request from the local
equipment, it will increase the Tx output power. If the increasing output power request is
higher than the maximum output power of ODU, the remote ODU will use the maximum
possible output power.

ATL-NIX-42 INSTALLATION GUIDE

ATL-NIX-42 Mixed Access Page 30






































Figure 7-1: ATPC action

If the RSL of the local ODU is 6dB higher than the ATPC Trigger Level, i.e. RSL > ATPC
Trigger Level + 6, the local ODU will send a power decrease request to the remote ODU.

When this request is received, the remote ODU will decrease the output power. If the output
power is lower than the minimum output power of ODU, then it will use the minimum output
power.

To avoid rapid changes of power due to short term spurious RSL fluctuations, the ODU will
wait a short interval before adjusting Tx Power, but if the reduction of RSL continues, the
power adjustment is very rapid with a slew rate 60 dB/ per second.


ATL-NIX-42 INSTALLATION GUIDE

ATL-NIX-42 Mixed Access Page 31


ACM

Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) has been designed to help operators maximize
spectrum usage and increase the capacity of their backhaul links over any given channel
bandwidth, under any weather condition, at any link budget.

Adaptive Coding and Modulation refers to the automatic adjustment that a wireless system
can make in order to optimize over-the-air transmission and prevent weather-related fading
from causing communication on the link to be disrupted.

When extreme weather conditions, such as a storm, affect the transmission and reception of
data and voice over the wireless network, an ACM-enabled radio system automatically
changes Modulation and/or coding allowing real-time applications to continue to run
uninterrupted.

Varying the Modulation and/or coding will also vary the amount of bits that are transferred
per signal, thereby enabling higher throughputs and better spectral efficiencies.


Figure 7-2: ACM modifying Link Capacity
MSE

The Mean Squared Error (MSE) is similar to Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) with the exception
that MSE also accounts for distortion and interference in addition to noise power.

Distortion may come from a wide range of sources such as IF cables that are improperly
assembled, interfering signals and path degradation caused by path anomalies such as
multi-path propagation or Fresnel zone encroachment.

ATL-NIX-42 INSTALLATION GUIDE

ATL-NIX-42 Mixed Access Page 32


Interference may come from other co-sited transmitters on the tower, from high power
transmitters in the indoor shelter where the IDU is located or from other adjacent
transmitters.

Distortion and Interference causes degradation of the receive signal by modifying the
received Modulation. This causes an increase in BER.

There are maximum acceptable MSE values for each type of Modulation which is useful in
determining the quality of the link, however the higher level of Modulation, the lower the
MSE value must be. Some trial and error may be required to optimise MSE for individual
sites.

The MSE value reported is only relevant to one Transmit Receive path, so the MSE of
each path must be evaluated to verify the link is operating correctly. The lower the value of
MSE the better the Link quality, for example, a MSE value of -35 dB is better than a MSE
value of -30 dB.

The table below shows the maximum MSE value to expect in IF Loopback, Normal
Operation, and Absolute Maximum.

10. ANTENNA INTRODUCTION

The Microwave Antenna is of a parabolic design that consists of a reflector, feed and tower
mount.

Typically, there are two types of antenna: High Performance (HP) Parabolic Antenna and
Standard Performance (SP) Parabolic Antenna.

With the additional of a shroud and radome, the HP Parabolic Antenna has superior
Front/Back Ratio as well as excellent anti-corrosion proofing properties.

The antenna is used for directing the RF energy into and out of the ODU in a particular
direction. CII provides a wide range of Parabolic Antennas with different sizes for all
operating bands of our CII product line.

The table below list all antennas available by radome size and frequency band.

ATL-NIX-42 INSTALLATION GUIDE

ATL-NIX-42 Mixed Access Page 45


Antennas are shipped with partially pre-assembled mounts, other items typically packed with
the antenna include:

A Ring spanner

Silicon sealant

The antenna assembly is made up of three main components:

Radome and feed assembly

Mounting Bracket

Pole mounting clamps


10.3 TOOLS REQUIRED
Philips screwdriver

Open Spanner


10.4 ANTENNA INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

With the complete antenna packaging moved to the final installation site, exercise care in the
use of the tools used to open and remove the lid. Ample packaging material, protecting the
antenna during shipment, may be discarded with the packaging container at the end of the
installation.

The antenna is pre-assembled including all the mounting fixtures prior to shipment. Before
commencing with pole or tower mounting, the installer needs to unscrew and remove the
mounting screws and bolts. The antenna mounting rack can then be separated from the
equipment in preparation for subsequent installation.

Depending on antenna provided, it may be necessary to construct the antenna on site
before installation.

This section uses the 0.3 m and 0.6 m antenna installation as examples. Refer to the
publication ATL-Integritous Antenna Installation Guide for the installation of other antenna
sizes.



10.5 PARABOLIC ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Locate and position the antenna onto the mounting pole, identify the U-shape bracket,
assemble and mount to the pole.


Hold the mounting rack with one hand, and mount the two U-shape brackets onto the
upper and lower pairs of the M10 bolts with the other hand.

12.1 ANTENNA PRE-ALIGNMENT
12.1.1 Tools Required
Compass

Inclinometer

Spanners


12.1.2 Initial Set Up
Antenna alignment requires staff at each end of the link.

A path profile analysis will provide each site with the required installation elevation, azimuth
and bearing information, for initial antenna positioning. Ensure this information is available at
each site.

This is sufficient for the antenna to be pointed in the general direction as fine tuning will take
place during alignment.

For azimuth and elevation alignment, arrange each end to be on the assigned frequency to
minimise any possible interference.

Alignment involves quite a bit of fine tuning, and is an iterative process and the objective is
to maximise the receive signal at each end the hop.

Before proceeding to antenna pre-alignment, ensure each end of the hop is equipped with a
known working Voltmeter.



12.2 ANTENNA PAIR IDENTIFICATION
There may or may not be in-band interference at either site, however identify and isolate the
wanted RF signal in the presence of unwanted signal using the calculated RSL.

A unique lookup table is supplied for each ODU. This specifies the relationship between
RSL and RSSI level.

Ensure the serial number of the ODU matches the correct lookup table before proceeding.

dB. Correlate the data in the lookup table against the RSSI reading along all points of
the RSL range.
The antenna pair is identified when measured RSSI level matches against the
corresponding RSL values specified in the lookup table.

12.3 ANTENNA FINE-ALIGNMENT

Each ODU has a BNC connector, for DC voltage measurement by a voltmeter. As the RF
signal fluctuates over a small range, a meter with an analogue movement or analogue scale
is the best type to use.

This is a RSSI indication, and is monitored by the multimeter.

RSSI is indicated by a voltage reading, and varies as azimuth and bearing adjustments are
made.

Each antenna is adjusted, one at a time, until a maximum peak in RSSI is found and no
further adjustment of either antenna causes any further increase in RSSI voltage.




















Figure 12-2: ODU RSSI profile for antenna
The above figure represents the RSSI level as the antenna is being brought into alignment.
Note that there are several peak with one dominate peak. Location of the optimal signal
strength should be at the maximum of its RSSI profile.

The local antenna is paned from a slightly high position above the bore site of the antenna
across the peak in RSSI signal, then lowered slightly, and panned in the other direction, until
the dominate peak is found.

ATL-NIX-42 INSTALLATION GUIDE

ATL-NIX-42 Mixed Access Page 62














Figure 12-3: Panning Antenna
With the antenna positioned on the maximum peak, this procedure is repeated at the remote
antenna.

This process is then repeated several times for each antenna until no further increase in
RSSI voltage is noted.


12.4 ANTENNA ADJUSTMENT

12.4.1 Antenna Azimuth Adjustment

Follow the steps below to make antenna azimuth adjustment.

Prepare for azimuth adjustment by locating and loosening the bolts on the mounting bracket.
Take the figure below as a guide and examine to locate the exact bolts on the mounting
bracket.













Figure 12-4: Loosen nuts for azimuth adjustment
Make coarse azimuth adjustment by swinging antenna in different direction and make fine
azimuth adjustment by moving nuts on azimuth adjustment level (take figures below as a
guide), observe the RSSI reading from ODU, until the reading is at its maximum (refer to
section 12.4.1 for details).

13. ATL-NIX-42 SYSTEM SOFTWARE
The ATL-NIX-42 software is divided into three functional groups:
IDU software,
ODU software, and
NMS software.








Figure 13-1: Software Architecture
13.1.1 IDU SOFTWARE
The IDU software is responsible for the management, monitoring and control of the
operational status of the IDU. At the same time as the communication between the NMS and
system to achieve the control and management of NMS.

The IDU software is also responsible for communication and ODU software to manage and
control the ODU


13.1.2 ODU SOFTWARE
The ODU software is responsible for the management and control of the ODU run state. The
ODU software, according the IDU software parameters, controls the ODU operation. At the
same time, the ODU software reports the ODU status to the IDU software

13.1.3 NMS Software
The NMS software interfaces with the IDU and allows a unified management platform which
can meet the requirements of transmission network management.
All operational parameters can be controlled and monitored via the NMS.

14. FUNCTIONIONALITY
The ATL-NIX-42 system provides a wealth of functions to ensure the high quality and
efficiency of any transmission service.
Most of these functions are automatically enabled and are transparent to and hidden from
the end user.

14.1.1 Frequency Band
The ATL-NIX-42 system supports L6, U6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15, 18, 23, 26, 28, 32, 38 GHz
frequency bands, and can use a variety of ODUs to suit current and future requirements.
The ODU types available are:
High Performance, Standard Power, QPSK to 256QAM, and
High Performance, High Power, QPSK to 1024QAM.

14.1.2 Transmit Power Control Function
Via the NMS, the ODU Tx output power can be configured in 1 db steps from 0 dBm to Tx
Maximum.

This allows full compliance with any licensing conditions imposed by the regulator.


14.1.3 Automatic Transmit Power Control
ATPC is enabled to automatically track the RSL of the remote receiver and intelligently
control of the local transmitter power within a defined control range.
This technology is used to minimise any possible interference to an adjacent service or the
residual error rate, while being able to increase Tx Power should communications conditions
deteriorate.

14.1.4 Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
The ODU automatically controls the gain of the receiver amplifiers to ensure that the IF level
is consistent in amplitude for delivery to the IDU.

This allows a large variation in IF Cable length, which simplifies installation and ensures the
performance of the entire system.


14.1.5 Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is implemented for the digital filtering and processing of
modulated and demodulated signals. Using DSP, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is reduced
and the performance of a communication system is then enhanced.

ATL-NIX-42 INSTALLATION GUIDE

ATL-NIX-42 Mixed Access Page 66


In parallel with the above, the application of advanced Forward Error Correction (FEC)
enables a number of errors to be detected and corrected without requiring retransmission,
thus reducing the RSL threshold and improving the performance of system gain.


14.1.6 Signal Processing
The following signals are processed by the IDU:

E1/T1 tributary Interface: for E1/T1 signal input and output.

STM/1 tributary Interface: for STM/1 signal input and output.

External 2.048 Mbps clock: for synchronising IDUs

Ethernet Interface: for LAN signals input and output

FEC Forward Error Correction

ACM - Adaptive Coded Modulation

Adaptive Equalisation

NMS Interface: for monitoring and management.




ATL-NIX-42 INSTALLATION GUIDE

ATL-NIX-42 Mixed Access Page 67


15. MONITORING AND NETWORK MANAGEMENT
Monitoring and network management is available for the system.

Monitoring is via a Web Browser (Refer Section 18) or via the CIT (VT100 Terminal or
similar software package) (Refer Section 19).

The ATL-NIX-42 can be managed and monitored by CIIs network manager or any
standard SNMP Network Manager provided that third party MIB Files can be compiled into
the Managers database.

In addition to the operational parameters, a number of other parameters such as status,
internal temperature, transmit power and frequency, receiving and transmitting levels and
system alarms can also be monitored.

MIB Files for the ATL-NIX-42 are available on request.

Refer any enquiries to the contact details found on Page 15.










ATL-NIX-42 INSTALLATION GUIDE

ATL-NIX-42 Mixed Access Page 68


16. VLAN HANDLING
The ATL-GX-NIX-42 supports IEEE 802.1ad Q-in-Q.

16.1.1 Introduction to terminology
The conventions for 802.1ad terminology typically are as follows:

1. The inner tag is the tag which is closest to the payload portion of the frame; it is
officially called C-TAG (Customer Tag, with EtherType 0 x 8100)

2. The outer tag is the one closer/closest to the Ethernet header; its name is S-TAG
(Service Tag, EtherType 0 x 88a8)

3. Tag 1 is the outer tag and Tag 2 is the second tag, or the inner tag. The tag number
has nothing to do with the order in which the tags were added, etc. It is simply a
convention

4. For a single-tagged (802.1q) frame, that tag is designated Tag 1 when mixed with
802.1ad tags

5. In frames having more than one tag, the tags are numbered 1 to N, and appear
sequentially and contiguously in the frame from the Ethernet header to the payload.
In this case the innermost tag is the C-TAG and all other tags are S-TAGs

The following is a brief introduction about Q-in-Q.

16.1.2 Q-in-Q Definition
The original 802.1Q specification allows a single VLAN header to be inserted into an
Ethernet frame.

Q-in-Q allows multiple VLAN headers to be inserted into a single frame, an essential
capability for implementing Metro Ethernet network topologies. Q-in-Q is defined in IEEE
802.1ad, which is an Ethernet networking standard informally known as IEEE 802.1

Q-in-Q and is an amendment to IEEE standard IEEE 802.1Q-1998.

16.1.3 Frame format.

Figure 16-1: Q-in-Q Frame Format
ATL-NIX-42 INSTALLATION GUIDE

ATL-NIX-42 Mixed Access Page 69


In Q tag, two bytes are used for the tag protocol identifier (TPID, or EtherType) , the other
two bytes for tag control information (TCI). The TCI field is further divided into PCP, CFI, and
VID.

16 bits 3 bits 1 bit 12 bits
TPID
TCI
PCP CFI VID

Table 16-1: VLAN Tag Control Information

1. In TPID (EtherType), 16 bits EtherType is assigned to the front of the VLAN tag to
identify the following data as a VLAN tag:

0 x 8100 is the EtherType of the first .1Q VLAN tag header;

0 x 88A8 is the EtherType of the second .1Q VLAN tag header (The old 802.1
Q-in-Q [nonstandard] protocol used 0 x 9100);

2. Tag Control Identifier (TCI)

Priority Code Point (PCP): is a 3-bit field which refers to the IEEE 802.1p priority.
It indicates the frame priority level.

Values are from 0 (best effort) to 7 (highest). 1 represents the lowest priority.
These values can be used to prioritize different classes of traffic (voice, video,
data, etc.).

Drop Eligible (DE): is a 1-bit field.

May be used separately, or in conjunction with PCP to indicate frames eligible to
be dropped in the presence of congestion.

VLAN Identifier (VID): is a 12-bit field specifying the VLAN to which the frame
belongs.

The hexadecimal values of 0 x 000 and 0 x FFF are reserved. All other values
may be used as VLAN identifiers, allowing up to 4,094 VLANs.

The reserved value 0 x 000 indicates that the frame does not belong to any
VLAN; in this case, the 802.1Q tag specifies only a priority and is referred to as a
priority tag.

On bridges, VLAN 1 (the default VLAN ID) is often reserved for a management
VLAN; this is vendor-specific.

21. SYSTEM TESTING
The system has a number of Built In Testing (BIT) functions. These are used during
commissioning and troubleshooting which simplifies these tasks.
NOTE:
Some tests are only available via CIT,

21.1 E1 TRIB LOCAL LOOP
The E1 Tributary Local loop is used to test the E1 wiring, Access Panels and IDU
connectors for the Local IDU. It loops the E1 input to the E1 output to test whether the local
equipment, the Access Panels and wiring is functioning normally.

An external source of E1 traffic is required. This can be a BERT or external device which
can generate an E1 pattern for testing. Enabling this test will raise AIS and LOS alarms at
the remote end of the Link and in external equipment.
.

Figure 21-1: E1 Tributary Loop Back

21.2 IF LOOP
The IF loop is used to test that the local IDU is functioning normally.
A loop at the IF frequency will allow all of the testing of the above E1 loop testing as well as
all of the functions of the IDU.
An external source of E1 traffic is required. This can be a BERT or external device which
can generate an E1 pattern for testing or the normal external equipment. Enabling this test
will raise AIS and LOS alarms at the remote end of the Link and in remote external
equipment. .During the IF loopback test, the received traffic will be interrupted temporarily,
which may result in the isolation with the NMS.
The BERT connected externally to the equipment.

21.6 ETHERNET TESTING
This section is applicable for Ethernet testing.

Two methods exist for testing the Ethernet function.


21.6.1 The Analyser Method

In the first method, two sets of ETHERNET analyzers are required for practical testing. One
acts as a signal generator and the other one the ETH analyzer. The following figure shows
the connection of the testing:

Figure 21-10: Ethernet testing using Ethernet Analyser connection diagram
Connect IDU A with ETH analyser A, while IDU B is connected with ETH analyser B.


21.6.2 The PC Method
In this method, two PCs, each running a version of LAN Speed Test or LAN Speed Test
V 3.x (one as server and one as client), are required for practical testing.

LAN Speed Test Lite is a FREE utility designed to accurately measure LAN speeds.
It does this by writing a file (the user chooses the size) to a folder (chosen by the user),
clears windows file cache, reads the file back, clears the cache again, deletes the file, and
displays the results.

LAN Speed Test V 3.x is a low cost portable windows application that works with Windows
98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, &
Windows 7.

It can be run from a USB Memory Stick, for example, does not require any installation, does
not use DLLs and does not change the Windows Registry.

The results provide meaningful results with some limitations.

LAN Speed Test V 1.0 can be downloaded from http://www.totusoft.com/downloads.html.

ATL-NIX-42 MIXED ACCESS INSTALLATION GUIDE

ATL-NIX-42 MIXED ACCESS Page 144



21.6.4 LAN Speed Test V 3.x

LAN Speed Test V 3.x is a more advanced, low cost utility, designed to be a rock solid
tool to measure your file transfer and network speeds easily and accurately.

It does this by building a file in memory, then transfers it both ways (without the effects of
windows file caching) while keeping track of the time, and then does the calculations.

LAN Speed Test 3.x has a number of advanced features and uses a powerful process to
measure your LAN speed that is much faster and more accurate than the free version LAN
Speed Test Lite.

Some of LAN Speed Test v3.x Features include:

Completely portable - No installation needed

Incredibly small (182KB) and can run from a hard drive, USB Flash drives, etc.

Compatible with Windows versions 2000 & up (2000, XP, Vista, Win7,
Server2003 & Server 2008)

Very fast! Most tests are less than 1 minute

Test packet sizes up to 9 GB while taking a maximum of just 10 MB of RAM on
your system

Progress window that displays a progress bar and allows the user to cancel at
any time

Compatible with LST Server for real network performance results without hard
drive limitations - Even test your WAN (internet) speed with LST Server

Network Scan (lets you see all other computers/devices that are on your
network) with the ability to Ping test to any of them

Log viewing screen with ability to add notes

Scheduling test runs now an option with logging and the new Command Line
format

Open/Save option to .csv file

Selectable Speed Measurements

New! Simultaneous multiple stream support

New! View Average, Max, & Min throughput results

New! Automatically re-start tests for a set period of time or until manually
stopped

New! Email results manually, automatically, or only when under a certain speed
ATL-NIX-42 MIXED ACCESS INSTALLATION GUIDE

ATL-NIX-42 MIXED ACCESS Page 145


Revised! Command Line Mode (Allows network administrators to start the test
from the command line with all test options now available)

The results provide highly meaningful results.

LAN Speed Test V 3.x can be downloaded from http://www.totusoft.com/downloads.html.



Figure 21-13: LAN Speed Test V 3.x Screen Snapshot
21.6.5 LAN Speed Test LST Server
LAN Speed Test LST Server is, low cost utility, providing additional features for LAN Speed
Test.

By using this configuration the client talks directly to the server through the network with no
hard drive limitations.

This gives more accurate results of True network performance on the client screen.

LST Server also makes it possible to test your WAN connection.

ATL-NIX-42 MIXED ACCESS INSTALLATION GUIDE

ATL-NIX-42 MIXED ACCESS Page 146


Some of the LST Server Features include...

Completely portable - No installation needed

Incredibly small (106KB) and can run from a hard drive, USB Flash drives, etc.

Compatible with all Windows 2000 & up (2000, XP, Vista, Win7, Server 2003 &
Server 2008)

Log Window and logging options

Server supports multiple NICs (Network Adapters)

Server supports multiple client connections

New! Server supports simultaneous stream tests with LAN Speed Test v3.0 & up

Very easy to use.

It is not necessary to use LST Server, but desirable.

Using LAN Speed Test with LST Server writes the test file to the server's memory and
takes the hard drive out of the picture for truer network speed results.

Using LAN Speed Test without LST Server, writes the test file to another computer's hard
drive. Tests will show slower speeds, but is more of a real-world test as most of the time
you are writing files to other hard drives (file servers, etc.).


LST Server can be downloaded from http://www.totusoft.com/downloads.html.

22. MAINTENANCE
After equipment commissioning, no further maintenance by hand is required.

After NMS commissioning, the monitoring centre can control the operational status of all of
the equipment in the network.

The following regular inspections are recommended to ensure long life and reliable system
performance.

o Antenna systems should be inspected once per year by qualified personnel to
verify proper installation, maintenance, and the condition of equipment. This
should include a comparison of the RSL with the RSL as noted in the
Commissioning Document. Note that for this comparison, weather conditions
should be similar to those at the time of installation.

o The Station and System Earths should be inspected once per year for
integrity and low ground resistance.

o Periodically check for proper connection and tightening of all cables and
mounting fixtures.

o Make sure that the ATL-NIX-42 ODU has not been damaged, disassembled
or otherwise tampered with, and remains properly grounded as described in
the previous sections.

o Cleaning the surface of the equipment regularly to remove dust and other
deposits like salt for example, to ensure the normal operation and prolonging
the useful life of the equipment.

o The Surge Arrestors are designed to be sacrificial. Inspect the Surge Arrestor
devices for integrity. Replace any that do not meet electrical specifications or
appear suspect on physical examination.

o The installation location for ATL-NIX-42 ODU should remain well ventilated.


CII disclaims any liability or responsibility for the results of improper or unsafe installation
practices.

The ATL-NIX-42 IDU and ODU have no user serviceable parts internally. In the event of a
hardware fault, the faulty unit must be replaced with a known functional unit and returned to
CII for repair.
