Overview
This document describes the sequence of steps to be adopted in order to install a site
with Hub+FPMR(P) SVR 2.4 Network Elements.
The supported Hubs are listed in Table 1 and are already supported by the Commissioning Tool CT1.3EP1.

Abbreviations
Hub 800 or FPH800
FlexiPacket Hub 800 R2.0

Table 1
Supported IDUs
In case of the usage of NON-NSN IDUs, the ODUs must be configured connecting
directly the management PC, either via CT or (in this case better) with the WebLCT just
to avoid to use two different tools. In these scenarios the powering of the ODUs should
be already in place without the P+E support.
With the FPMR(P) SVR 2.4 the System Types in Table 2 are available:

STC Basic network structures

Important Note:
STC network have different topologies and scenarios that can be used for Flexi Packet multi Radio Links :
So please note the following before start the commissioning
1- Mesh Topology or Hub site where IDU Hub and spoke topology includes power injector to supply the MULTIPLE ODU ( refer to the Adding New
link Advanced Mode ) ,also please refere to installation Manual for Power injector and Hub800 connectivity .
2-One to one links Tail or chain topology ( Refer to Basic commissioing Assisted Mode section )
For that please confirm the right topology always read and review first the TD planning doc site by site , reconfirm the link solution with PM, site
supervisors or NSN Care technical team ( Tariq Ali , Azeem Ulla).
Two Main basic structures in STC network
1-Hub and Spoke Topology
>Use this topology at Sites which is directly connected to SDH or Cisco MPLS router
>Services should be created as E-Line service ,Check how to create them at Service creation section.
>Adding new Link will be through CT Advanced Mode,Please Check the Add new link section.
>Maximum ports for POE is Two Per IDU which need external power injector if you need to add more links on the same IDU
2-Tail Toplogy or chain topology
>Services Can be configured as E-LAN or E-LINE According to TD design .

>Use Assisted Mode of CT while choosing system as 1+1 or 2+0 XPIC according to TD design
>You can cascad IDUs to aggregate the traffic into one port connected to MPLS router
,in this case both E-lines and E-LAN can be configured ,but be sure you choose right IDU ports.

XPIC Antenna alignment

2+0 XPIC Commissioning Procedure
Scope
This section describes the recommended commissioning tests for a radio link in a 2+0 XPIC
Co-Channel-Dual-Polarization configuration.
The purpose of the commissioning tests is to verify correct and proper operation of the product.
Important! Since operation of the XPIC system depends on correct installation, make sure the
guidelines for
XPIC system installation provided below are followed correctly.
XPIC Installation Guidelines

Antenna and ODU Installation
1. Install the dual polarization antenna and point it in the direction of the other site.
2. Install the two ODUs on a dual polarization antenna using the appropriate mounting kit, and
mark the
ODUs with V and H respectively.
IDU-ODU Cable Installation
1. Install two cables between the ODUs and the drawers (IDMs). Note that cable length
difference should not
exceed 10 meters.
2. Mark the cables with V and H respectively, and make sure V is connected to the right drawer
and H is
connected to the left drawer.
3. Mark the drawers respectively.
Antenna Alignment
1. Power up drawer V on both ends of the link and configure it to the desired frequency channel
and
maximum power.
2. Align the antennas, one at a time, until expected RSL is achieved. Make sure the achieved
RSL is no more
than +/-4 dB from the expected level.
Polarization Alignment
Polarization alignment is required to verify that the antenna feeds are adjusted, to ensure that the
antenna XPD
(Cross Polarization Discrimination) is achieved.
Polarization adjustment should be done on one antenna only.
1. Power up drawer V on both ends of the link and record the RSL reading on one end.
2. Power off drawer V on that end and power on drawer H.
3. Check the RSL obtained on this ODU on H pol, and compare it to the RSL obtained by the
ODU installed
on the V pol.
4. Verify that XPI (Cross Polarization Interference) is at least 25 dB
where:
XPI= RSLpol - RSLxpol
RSLpol ->RSL Link RSL with orthogona lpolarizatoi ns used at both sites.
XPIC Antenna alignment

RSLxpol -> Link RSL with the same polarizatoi n used at both sites.
5. If XPI is less than 25 dB, adjust the feed polarization by opening the polarization screw and
gently rotating
the feed to minimize the RSLXPOL.
Note that polarization alignment is not always possible since the RSLXPOL may fall below the
sensitivity
threshold of the ODU.
It is also recommended to try to maximize the XPI as much as possible, by aligning the
polarization.
XPIC Commissioning Tests

Individual Link Verification
Before operating in XPIC configuration, each of the links (V and H) should be commissioned
individually in
order to verify its proper operation.
1 Power up only drawer V at both ends and verify its frequency channel and Tx power
configuration.
2 Verify that the RSL is no more than +/-4 dB from the expected level.
3 Run BER stability test on the link for at least 15 minutes to ensure error-free operation.
4 Power up only drawer H at both ends and verify its frequency channel and Tx power
configuration.
5 Verify that the RSL is no more than +/-4 dB from the expected level.
6 Run BER stability test on the link for at least 15 minutes to ensure error-free operation.
XPIC Configuration Verification
1 Using the XPIC cable, connect the two ODUs at each end to the TNC connectors. Make sure
the
cable is no longer than 3 meters.
2 Configure the drawers to work in XPIC mode.
3 Verify that the RSL at all four ODUs is no more than +/-4 dB from the expected level.
4 Verify that no alarms exist (if a 155 Mbps line is connected).
5 Run BER stability test on each of the 155 Mbps links for at least 1 hour to ensure error-free
operation.
Note: In a 2+2 configuration, repeat each step above for each of the four coupled ODU
combinations.
XPIC Recovery Verification
In order to verify XPIC operation, simulate the faults described below.
1 Disconnect the IDU-ODU cable for each of the drawers (one at a time), and verify that the
other
link is operating.
2 Disconnect the XPIC cable and check that the relevant alarms are generated.
3 Power down each of the drawers and verify that the other link is operating.
4 Swap the V and H cables and check that the relevant alarm is generated.
5 Mute and then un-mute one ODU at a time and verify that the other link is operating.
Note: In a 2+2 configuration, repeat each step above for each of the four coupled ODUs
connected to the two
standby IDUs.

modem, etc) for being restored once the procedure is finished.
Test packets are generated by the P.
The procedure terminates after a configurable time T (default = 10 seconds). Once the
previous system configuration is restored, the result of the loopback test is reported and
a detailed report file (.xml format) is available.

4.1.3
Link Test loopbacks

Remotely test the radio link by using two loopbacks:
LsRL3 in the Local Station

RL3 in the Remote Station
First activate the loopback in the Remote Station and then activate the loopback in the
Local Station.
The time-out set in the Remote Station must be longer than the time-out set in the Local
Station.
This test procedure extends local self-test procedure over the radio link. The procedure
here described assumes the LCT being able to access both local and remote FlexiPacket MultiRadio. No User traffic is required to be supported whilst remote test procedure is ongoing. Test packets are generated by the P.
The system will save the actual configuration for the involved elements (switch, modem,
etc) for being restored once the procedure is finished.
The procedure terminates after a configurable time T (default = 10 seconds). Once the
previous system configuration is restored, the result of the loopback test is reported and
a detailed report file (.xml format) is available.
Note - When a loopback is activated on the remote ODU, the STP protocol must be
disabled on the IDU.

Software Upgrade
From WebLCT, the build software can be upgraded without any interruption on the
operation.
The upgrade procedure uploads the software build on the standby bank; the
system keeps running the pre-existing software on the active bank.
To make active the new build software, it is necessary to execute the switching of the
banks. The switching operation runs the new version of the software.
To upgrade the build software, follow the steps.
Steps
1. Click on Product and Software menu.
2. Click on SW Upload button.
3. Insert User Name = admin and Password = Administrator Password.
