2. ABSTRACT

The project entitled ARMY, NAVY AND AIRBORNE APPLICATION SYSTEMS "
mainly deals with RUGGED products. The term RUGGED stands for strongly made and
capable of withstanding rough handling. And the product with the above conditions
undergoes the process of RUGGEDISATION which include various steps such as strong
vibrations, extreme temperatures and wet or dusty conditions. They are designed from
inception for the type of rough use typified by these conditions, not just in the external
housing but in the internal components and cooling arrangements as well. In this project, we
incorporate features such as fully sealed keyboards to protect against intrusion by dust or
liquids, and scratch-resistant screens that are readable in direct sunlight. These products can
also resist fire upto some extent. Virtually all rugged computers share an underlying design
philosophy of providing a controlled environment for the installed electronics. These
products also undergo extreme tests like vibration test, bump test, temperature test and drop
test.

5. INTRODUCTION

Ruggedization:

A rugged (or ruggedized,

but

also ruggedized) computer is

a computer specifically designed to operate reliably in harsh usage environments and


conditions, such as strong vibrations, extreme temperatures and wet or dusty conditions. They
are designed from inception for the type of rough use typified by these conditions, not just in
the external housing but in the internal components and cooling arrangements as well. In
general, ruggedized and hardened computers share the same design robustness and frequently
these terms are interchangeable.
Typical end-user environments for rugged laptops, tablet PCs and PDAs are public safety,
field sales, field service, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, transportation/distribution and
the military. They are used in the agricultural industries and by individuals for recreational
activities, as well, such as hunting or geocaching.
For example consider a rugged computer. Virtually all rugged computers share an underlying
design philosophy of providing a controlled environment for the installed electronics. The
electronic components themselves may be selected for their ability to withstand higher and
lower operating temperatures than typical commercial components.
They incorporate features such as fully sealed keyboards to protect against intrusion by dust
or liquids, and scratch-resistant screens that are readable in direct sunlight.
Rugged units are more expensive in terms of annualized hardware costs. However, one
research study found that in environments where rugged computers are commonly used, total
cost of ownership was 36 percent lower for rugged notebooks and 33 percent less for
handhelds and PDAs, compared to conventional non-rugged versions. The lower overall cost
is due to lower failure rates, the related impact on productivity, and other factors.

Standards:

MIL-STD-810: a military standard, issued in 1962, which establishes a set of tests for
determining equipment suitability to military operations. Often used as a reference in the
commercial laptop industry.

MIL-S-901: a military standard for shock which applies to equipment mounted on ships.
Two levels apply. Grade A items are items which are essential to the safety and continued
combat capability of the ship. Grade B items are items whose operation is not essential to
the safety and combat capability of the ship but which could become a hazard to
personnel, to Grade A items, or to the ship as a whole as a result of exposure to shock
Qualification testing is performed on a barge floating in a pond where TNT is detonated
at various distances and depths in the pond to impart shock to the barges.

IEEE 1156.1-1993 IEEE Standard Microcomputer Environmental Specifications for


Computer Modules

IEEE 1613 Computers in electrical substations used to concentrate data or communicate


with SCADA systems follow IEEE 1613 "Standard Environmental and Testing
Requirements for Communications Networking Devices in Electric Power Substations."

IP (Ingress Protection)

IS (Intrinsic Safety)

TEMPEST

ATEX (Potentially Explosive Atmospheres)

NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association)

IK Code (Also known as EN50102)

European standard EN 50155, "Railway ApplicationsElectronic Equipment Used On


Rolling Stock", provides an example of a tough non-military specification. It extends
operating temperature range (25 +70 C), resistance to humidity, shocks, vibrations,
radiation - encountered in vehicle or airborne installations.

Wireless Connectivity:
Wireless capability is a key requirement for most enterprise mobility applications, and it has
been reported that wireless-transmission failure rates are three times higher for non-rugged
notebooks compared to rugged units. This difference is attributed to the greater experience of
rugged-notebook vendors at integrating multiple radios into their products. Each transmission
failure leads to five to ten minutes in lost productivity as the user has to re-login to the
network through a VPN.
Since enterprises are turning to cellular networks to enable full-time connectivity for their
users, major vendors of rugged computers offer both built-in wireless LAN and wireless
WAN capabilities, and partner with cellular carriers as part of their offerings. During the
handoff between the various wireless LAN and wireless WAN connections, a mobile
VPN allows the connection to persist, creating an always-connected infrastructure that is
simpler for the user and eliminates application crashes and data loss.

6. CONTENT

As I had explained about ruggedization in the above sections, our project entitled Army,
Navy & Airborne Application Systems is comprised of three systems. Since there are many
no. of applications related to our project, we have chosen the below mentioned systems as
applications in military and naval aviances. And they are as follows:

I.

ACCESS CONTROL LIST (ACL)

II.

RUGGED LAPTOP CONSOLE

III.

16 PORT ETHERNET SWITCH

Access Control Lists (ACL) provide packet filtering for IPv4 frames (based on address,
protocol, Layer 4 protocol port number or TCP control code), IPv6 frames (based on address,
next header type, or flow label), or any frames (based on MAC address or Ethernet type). To
filter incoming packets, first create an access list, add the required rules, and then bind the list
to a specific port.

Rugged Laptop Based Consoles are based on the industry standard Intel Core i7-

2600 processor which meets the installable demand for increased performance from users
running multiple software 3applications simultaneously. These new Intel Core i7 processors
deliver more performance without using more energy.

Maintenance, in the unlikely event of a failure, is simple due to the use of an

Advanced Mother Board which has all the electronics of the computer including
Memory, HDD Interface, Serial Ports, etc., thus a simple replacement of the Micro-ATX
Mother Board can solve a variety of field failures. Read on to find more about the
outstanding features of Rugged Laptop Based Console.

In computer networking, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE or 1 GigE) is a term describing

various technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of a gigabit per


second (1,000,000,000 bits per second), as defined by the IEEE 802.3-2008 standard. It
came into use beginning in 1999, gradually supplanting Fast Ethernet in wired local
networks, where it performed considerably faster.

ACCESS CONTROL LIST (ACL)


Configuring Access Control Lists An ACL is a sequential list of permit or deny conditions
that apply to IP addresses, MAC addresses, or other more specific criteria. This switch tests
ingress packets against the conditions in an ACL one by one. A packet will be accepted as
soon as it matches a permit rule, or dropped as soon as it matches a deny rule. If no rules
match, the packet is accepted.

COMMAND USAGE The following restrictions apply to ACLs:


The maximum number of ACLs is 32.
The maximum number of rules per ACL is 96.
The maximum number of rules that can be bound to the ports is 96 for each of the
following list types: MAC ACLs, IP ACLs (including Standard and Extended ACLs), IPv6
Standard ACLs, and IPv6 Extended ACLs. For the EL326, all ports share this quota.
The order in which active ACLs are checked is as follows:
1. User-defined rules in IP and MAC ACLs for ingress ports are checked in parallel.
2. Rules within an ACL are checked in the configured order, from top to bottom.
3. If the result of checking an IP ACL is to permit a packet, but the result of a MAC
ACL on the same packet is to deny it, the packet will be denied (because the
decision to deny a packet has a higher priority for security reasons). A packet will
also be denied if the IP ACL denies it and the MAC ACL accepts it.
Setting A Time Range Use the Security > ACL (Configure Time Range) page to sets a time
range during which ACL functions are applied.

6.6.2 Vibration Testing:


Vibration testing is accomplished by introducing a forcing function into a structure, usually
with some type of shaker. Alternately, a DUT (device under test) is attached to the "table" of
a shaker. Vibration testing is performed to examine the response of a device under test (DUT)
to a defined vibration environment. The measured response may be fatigue life, resonant
frequencies or squeak and rattle sound output (NVH). Squeak and rattle testing is performed
with a special type of quiet shaker that produces very low sound levels while under operation.
For relatively low frequency forcing, servo hydraulic (electrohydraulic) shakers are used. For
higher frequencies, electrodynamic shakers are used. Generally, one or more "input" or
"control" points located on the DUT-side of a fixture is kept at a specified acceleration. Other
"response" points experience maximum vibration level (resonance) or minimum vibration
level (anti-resonance). It is often desirable to achieve anti-resonance in order to keep a system
from becoming too noisy, or to reduce strain on certain parts of a system due to vibration
modes caused by specific frequencies of vibration.
The most common types of vibration testing services conducted by vibration test labs are
Sinusoidal and Random. Sine (one-frequency-at-a-time) tests are performed to survey the
structural response of the device under test (DUT). A random (all frequencies at once) test is
generally considered to more closely replicate a real world environment, such as road inputs
to a moving automobile.
Most vibration testing is conducted in a 'single DUT axis' at a time, even though most realworld vibration occurs in various axes simultaneously. MIL-STD-810G, released in late
Department of ECE, K L University

28 | P a g e

Army, Navy & Airborne Application Systems


2008, Test Method 527, calls for multiple exciter testing. The vibration test fixture which is
used to attach the DUT to the shaker table must be designed for the frequency range of the
vibration test spectrum. Generally for smaller fixtures and lower frequency ranges, the
designer targets a fixture design which is free of resonances in the test frequency range. This
becomes more difficult as the DUT gets larger and as the test frequency increases, and in
these cases multi-point control strategies can be employed to mitigate some of the resonances
which may be present in the future.
Devices specifically designed to trace or record vibrations are called vibroscopes.
Below we can see different vibration testing devices.

6.6.3 Temperature Testing:


Temperature testing or Temperature cycling is the process of cycling through
two temperature extremes, typically at relatively high rates of change. It is an environmental
stress test used in evaluating product reliability as well as in manufacturing to catch earlyterm, latent defects by inducing failure through thermal fatigue.
The environment test duo for temperature test and climate test simulates the perfect
atmosphere according to standards and reduces the time needed for certain processes through
rapid temperature changes.

6.6.4 Shock Test:


A mechanical or physical shock is a sudden acceleration or deceleration caused, for example,
by impact, drop, kick, earthquake, or explosion. Shock is a transient physical excitation.
Shock is a term for extreme forces that matter is subjected to. Shock has units of as
acceleration per unit time. A shock can be characterized by its peak acceleration, the
duration, and the shape of the shock pulse (half sine, triangular, trapezoidal, etc.). The Shock
response spectrum is a method for further evaluating a mechanical shock: It is sometimes
used as a defense standard for military equipment.

The above figure represents the Cost-effective Shock Testing.

6.14 TROUBLESHOOTING

Introduction
While every care has been taken to ensure the most reliable system for trouble free operation,
there may be cases where the user may come across some problems with the computer
system. This chapter is meant to help the user in correcting some of the commonly occurring
problems himself without wasting precious time. While the problems listed may not be
exhaustive, but they are fairly representative of normal failures. In case you face the problems
not mentioned here, kindly get in touch with us (through FAX/E-mail/Telephone) for prompt
service. While we encourage the user to try and correct the problems by himself, this is not
way limits our responsibility or commitment towards the user.

COMMON PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

PROBLEM 1 RUGGED LAPTOP NOT BOOTING


Symptom: Rugged Laptop gives three beeps on Power ON. This problem usually signifies
bad memory (64K) or loose contact of the memory modules. Verify that the memory modules
are sitting properly. If the problem persists report Break down Call.

PROBLEM 2 RUGGED LAPTOP NOT BOOTING


This problem is Non-fatal if at least the Base 64K is O.K. If Base 64K is bad, the machine
does not boot at all (No display) and Memory SIMMS has to be changed. If memory above
Department of ECE, K L University

67 | P a g e

Army, Navy & Airborne Application Systems


64K is bad, you may be able to work with the machine usually with some degradation (at
least for some programs which use these bad locations). Report Break down Call or replace
SIMM modules if available.

PROBLEM 3 ERROR MESSAGE


HDD 0 Drive Failure/ not responding.
This can be due to incorrect Setup or corrupted CMOS entry for HDD type. Press <DEL>
soon after the memory test and correct the HDD type.

Use the IDE HDD Auto Detection option to correct the HDD type.
In case the CMOS entry is correct and stills the HDD does not respond then either the HDD
controller, or HDD cables or HDD is bad. Also make sure the DC supply voltage (+5), (+12)
and (-5) are correct.

PROBLEM 4 RUGGED LAPTOP NOT BOOTING

Error Message: HDD Controller Failure.


Verify that the Hard Disk controller is sitting properly in the slot and the hard disk cable is
connected securely on both sides. Verify the Setup drive type values. In case the problem still
persists, report Break down Call.

PROBLEM 5 Error Message


CMOS CHECKSUM Failure or CMOS BAD
Checksum of CMOS is incorrect. This can indicate that CMOS has become corrupt. This
error may have been caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and replace if necessary.

PROBLEM 6 Error Message:


<Memory / Display> Setup (CMOS) error press<F1> to continue <F2> for Setup.
This problem again refers to corrupted or wrong entries in the CMOS SETUP. This can be
corrected by running Setup and entering the correct options.

II) GIGABIT ETHERNET SWITCH


In computer networking, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE or 1 GigE) is a term describing various
technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of a gigabit per second (1,000,000,000
bits per second), as defined by the IEEE 802.3-2008 standard. It came into use beginning in
1999, gradually supplanting Fast Ethernet in wired local networks, where it performed
considerably faster. The cables and equipment are very similar to previous standards and
have been very common and economical since 2010.
Half-duplex gigabit links connected through hubs are allowed by the specification, but the
specification is not updated anymore and full-duplex usage with switches is used exclusively.

History:
Ethernet was the result of the research done at Xerox PARC in the early 1970s. Ethernet later
evolved into a widely implemented physical and link layer protocol. Fast Ethernet increased
speed from 10 to 100 megabits per second (Mbit/s). Gigabit Ethernet was the next iteration,
increasing the speed to 1000 Mbit/s. The initial standard for Gigabit Ethernet was produced
by the IEEE in June 1998 as IEEE 802.3z, and required optical fiber. 802.3z is commonly
referred to as 1000BASE-X, where -X refers to either -CX, -SX, -LX, or (non-standard) -ZX.
For the history behind the "X" see Fast Ethernet.

69 | P a g e

Army, Navy & Airborne Application Systems


1000BASE-T. With the ratification of 802.3ab, Gigabit Ethernet became a desktop
technology as organizations could use their existing copper cabling infrastructure.
IEEE 802.3ah, ratified in 2004 added two more gigabit fiber standards, 1000BASE-LX10
(which was already widely implemented as vendor specific extension) and 1000BASE-BX10.
This was part of a larger group of protocols known as Ethernet in the First Mile.
Initially, Gigabit Ethernet was deployed in high-capacity backbone network links (for
instance, on a high-capacity campus network). In 2000, Apple's Power Mac G4 and
PowerBook G4 were the first mass-produced personal computers featuring the 1000BASE-T
connection. It quickly became a built-in feature in many other computers.
Higher bandwidth 10 Gigabit Ethernet standards have since become available as the IEEE
ratified a fiber-based standard in 2002, and a twisted pair standard in 2006. As of 2009, 10
GB Ethernet is replacing 1 GB as the backbone network and has begun to migrate down to
high-end server systems.
Varieties:
There are five physical layer standards for Gigabit Ethernet using optical fiber (1000BASEX), twisted pair cable (1000BASE-T), or shielded balanced copper cable (1000BASE-CX).
The IEEE 802.3z standard includes 1000BASE-SX for transmission over multi-mode fiber,
1000BASE-LX for transmission over single-mode fiber, and the nearly obsolete 1000BASECX for transmission over shielded balanced copper cabling. These standards use 8b/10b
encoding, which inflates the line rate by 25%, from 1000 Mbit/s to 1250 Mbit/s, to ensure a
DC balanced signal. The symbols are then sent using NRZ.
IEEE 802.3ab, which defines the widely used 1000BASE-T interface type, uses a different
encoding scheme in order to keep the symbol rate as low as possible, allowing transmission
over twisted pair.
IEEE 802.3ap defines Ethernet Operation over Electrical Backplanes at different speeds.
Ethernet in the First Mile later added 1000BASE-LX10 and -BX10.

Department of ECE, K L University

Army, Navy & Airborne Application Systems

1000BASE-X
1000BASE-X is used in industry to refer to Gigabit Ethernet transmission over fiber, where
options include 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LX10, 1000BASE-BX10 or the
non-standard -EX and -ZX implementations.
1000BASE-CX
1000BASE-CX is an initial standard for Gigabit Ethernet connections with maximum
distances

of

25

meters

using

balanced

shielded

twisted

pair

and

either DE-

9 or 8P8Cconnector (with a pinout different from 1000BASE-T). The short segment length is
due to very high signal transmission rate. Although it is still used for specific applications
where cabling is done by IT professionals, for instance the IBM Blade Center uses
1000BASE-CX for the Ethernet connections between the blade servers and the switch
modules, 1000BASE-T has succeeded it for general copper wiring use.
1000BASE-KX
1000BASE-KX is part of the IEEE 802.3ap standard for Ethernet Operation over Electrical
Backplanes. This standard defines one to four lanes of backplane links, one RX and one TX
differential pair per lane, at link bandwidth ranging from 100Mbit to 10Gbit per second (from
100BASE-KX to 10GBASE-KX4). The 1000BASE-KX variant uses 1.25 GBd electrical (not
optical) signaling speed.
1000BASE-SX
1000BASE-SX is a fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard for operation over multi-mode fiber
using a 770 to 860 nanometer, near infrared (NIR) light wavelength.
The standard specifies a distance capability between 220 metres (62.5/125 m fiber with
low modal bandwidth) and 550 metres (50/125 m fiber with high modal bandwidth). In

Department of ECE, K L University

71 | P a g e

Army, Navy & Airborne Application Systems


practice, with good quality fiber, optics, and terminations, 1000BASE-SX will usually work
over significantly longer distances.
This standard is highly popular for intra-building links in large office buildings, co-location
facilities and carrier neutral internet exchanges.
Optical power specifications of SX interface: Minimum output power = 9.5 dBm. Minimum
receive sensitivity = 17 dBm.
1000BASE-LX
1000BASE-LX is a fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard specified in IEEE 802.3 Clause 38
which uses a long wavelength laser (1,2701,355 nm), and a maximum RMS spectral width
of 4 nm.
1000BASE-LX is specified to work over a distance of up to 5 km over 10 m single-mode
fiber.
1000BASE-LX can also run over all common types of multi-mode fiber with a maximum
segment length of 550 m. For link distances greater than 300 m, the use of a special launch
conditioning patch cord may be required. This launches the laser at a precise offset from the
center of the fiber which causes it to spread across the diameter of the fiber core, reducing the
effect known as differential mode delay which occurs when the laser couples onto only a
small number of available modes in multi-mode fiber.
1000BASE-LX10
1000BASE-LX10 was standardized six years after the initial gigabit fiber versions as part of
the Ethernet in the First Mile task group. It is very similar to 1000BASE-LX, but achieves
longer distances up to 10 km over a pair of single-mode fiber due to higher quality optics.
Before it was standardized 1000BASE-LX10 was essentially already in widespread use by
many vendors as a proprietary extension called either 1000BASE-LX/LH or 1000BASE-LH.
1000BASE-EX
1000BASE-EX is a non-standard but industry accepted term to refer to Gigabit Ethernet
transmission. It is very similar to 1000BASE-LX10 but achieves longer distances up to
40 km over a pair of single-mode fibers due to higher quality optics than a LX10, running on
1310 nm wavelength lasers. It is sometimes referred to as LH (Long Haul). Easily confused
with a 1000BASE-LX10 or 1000BASE-ZX because some vendors use the LH term.

Department of ECE, K L University

72 | P a g e

Army, Navy & Airborne Application Systems


1000BASE-BX10
1000BASE-BX10 is capable of up to 10 km over a single strand of single-mode fiber, with a
different wavelength going in each direction. The terminals on each side of the fiber are not
equal, as the one transmitting downstream (from the center of the network to the outside) uses
the 1,490 nm wavelength, and the one transmitting upstream uses the 1,310 nm wavelength.
1000BASE-ZX
1000BASE-ZX is a non-standard but multi-vendor term to refer to Gigabit Ethernet
transmission using 1,550 nm wavelength to achieve distances of at least 70 kilometers (43
miles) over single-mode fiber. Some vendors specify distances up to 120 kilometers (75
miles) over single-mode fiber, sometimes called 1000BASE-EZX.
1000BASE-T

Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet NIC, a PCI Express x1 card


1000BASE-T (also known as IEEE 802.3ab) is a standard for Gigabit Ethernet
over copper wiring.
Each 1000BASE-T network segment can be a maximum length of 100 meters (330 feet), and
must use Category 5 cable or better (including Cat 5e and Cat 6).
Auto negotiation is a requirement for using 1000BASE-T according to Section 28D.5
Extensions required for Clause40 (1000BASE-T). At least the clock source has to be
negotiated, as one endpoint must be master and the other endpoint must be slave.
In a departure from both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T uses all four cable
pairs for simultaneous transmission in both directions through the use of adaptive
equalization and a five-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-5) technique. The symbol

Department of ECE, K L University

73 | P a g e

Army, Navy & Airborne Application Systems


rate is identical to that of 100BASE-TX (125 megabaud) and the noise immunity of the fivelevel signaling is also identical to that of the three-level signaling in 100BASE-TX, since
1000BASE-T uses four-dimensional trellis coded modulation (TCM) to achieve a
6 dB coding gain across the four pairs.
Since negotiation takes place on only two pairs, if two gigabit devices are connected through
a cable with only two pairs, the devices will successfully choose 'gigabit' as the highest
common denominator (HCD), but the link will never come up. Most gigabit physical devices
have

this

behavior.

Some

drivers

offer

an

"Ethernet@Wirespeed" option where this situation leads to a slower yet functional


connection.
The data is transmitted over four copper pairs, eight bits at a time. First, eight bits of data are
expanded into four three-bit symbols through a non-trivial scrambling procedure based on
a linear feedback shift register; this is similar to what is done in 100BASE-T2, but uses
different parameters. The three-bit symbols are then mapped to voltage levels which vary
continuously during transmission. An example mapping is as follows:

Department of ECE, K L University

74 | P a g e

Army, Navy & Airborne Application Systems


Automatic MDI/MDI-X Configuration is specified as an optional feature in the 1000BASE-T
standard, meaning that straight-through cables will often work between gigabit-capable
interfaces. This feature eliminates the need for crossover cables, making obsolete the
uplink/normal ports and manual selector switches found on many older hubs and switches
and greatly reduces installation errors.
1000BASE-TX
The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) created and promoted a standard similar
to 1000BASE-T that was simpler to implement, calling it 1000BASE-TX (TIA/EIA854).[15] The simplified design would have, in theory, reduced the cost of the required
electronics by only using two unidirectional pairs in each direction instead of 4 bidirectional.
However, this solution has been a commercial failure, likely due to the required Category 6
cabling and the rapidly falling cost of 1000BASE-T products.
1000BASE-T products are sometimes marketed as 1000BASE-TX despite the difference in
standards. The confusion possibly stems from the most popular form of Fast Ethernet (100

10/100/1000Mbit/s marketed as "10/100/1000BASE-TX".
