2.0 General
This section assumes that pre-planning of the link has been performed, i.e.
path budgeting & survey to ensure good line-of sight between the two link
ends.
2.1 Packing
Any sensitive product, i.e. IDU and Printed Circuit Boards, are packed in
special antistatic handling bags or boxes.
It is therefore essential that whenever unpacking or disassembling the

equipment and or handling printed circuit boards etc., special precautions
to avoid ESD (Electro Static Discharge) should be taken, such as using wrist
grounding or corresponding protection.
The equipment is packed in sealed plastic bags which are equipped with
required moisture protection.
All equipment is further packed in special designed cases prepared for

transportation.
Dimensions and weight of each case are specified in the "Packing specifi-
cations" issued for the respective shipment.
2.2 Marking
Marking is done according to customers requirements. If such information
is unavailable, the equipment is marked in the following way:
Customer address
Contract No.
Site Name (if known)
Case No.
2.3 Transportation
The transport containers are prepared for shipment by air, truck, railway and
sea, suitable for handling by fork-lift trucks and slings.
The cargo must be kept dry during transport and storage.

For sea-transport, deck-side shipment is not permitted and carrier-owned
cargo containers should be used.
B4040 Rev. A 21
2.4 Radio Equipment Inventory Check
Look for damage on the cases. Ensure that correct quantities of goods have
arrived, according to the packing list in each package/unit.
Check also that the part description on the outside of each box corresponds
to the components required for the installation, i.e. correct antenna and
frequency, ODU frequency band and sub-band, IDU configuration.
Report any damages or missing items to Nera by e-mail or fax. A short

description of damages, preferably including photographs, should be sent
as soon as possible.
2.5 Preparation for Installation

Complete the required civil works. Transport all the equipment to site.
Unpack the equipment and inspect for damage during transit to site and make
sure that the correct quantities of goods have arrived.
Units with static discharge protection should not be unpacked until the
equipment installation takes place. Ensure you are grounded at a controlled
ESD point before and during insertion, and during any subsequent unpack-
ing of the unit.
2.6 Handling & Storage

It is recommended that components are stored and transported to the
installation site in their original packing cases. If items are unpacked for
storage, they should be handled with care and protected during transpor-
tation by similar protective materials.
The equipment is an electronic device which should be handled with care.

It should be stored in dry, cool conditions, out of direct sunlight. A moisture
absorbing bag is taped inside the transportation unit to minimise conden-
sation during transportation. This is to be removed at installation.
No maintenance is required when stored according to particulars above.
To avoid damage to the sealing components and unwanted moisture in the

interconnection interfaces, the transportation protection lids on the branch-
ing and the transceiver must be kept on until mounting of waveguide
components and connection of the transceiver to the branching unit.

IF Cables
28 B4040 Rev. A
A Space Diversity system is using two antennas (denoted Main and
Space) mounted apart and connected to one Space Diversity transceiver
to achieve better performance. This requires different wave guide lengths for
the two antennas, which results in different signal propagation delays at the
Main and Space receiver inputs.
To compensate for this effect the transceiver can add delay in one of the
signal paths (normally in the Space path). Optimal receiver performance
requires an accurate delay compensation.
The two antenna signals are combined to get a single received signal for the
demodulation process.
The combiner can operate in automatic mode (controlled by signal quality

criteria derived internally in the transceiver) or in manual mode (user selects
how to combine the signals).
For configuration of Space Diversity IF-Combining, see Section IV, Chapter

4.8.6.

5.2.1 Change of Polarization
In order to change polarization from vertical (factory pre-set) to horizontal,
it will be necessary to rotate the output transition. This is done by loosening
the attachment screws until transistion can rotate freely, rotate the transis-
tion 90 deg. counterclockwise and retightening the attachment screws.
Note!
The installation, maintenance or removal of antenna systems requires
qualified, experienced personnel. These instructions have been written for
such personnel. Antenna systems should be inspected once a year by
qualified personnel to verify proper installation, manintenance and condi-
tion of equipment.

Apply power to the IDU by connecting the power cable. The radio link start-
up procedure and self-diagnostics will start to execute.
When power is applied to the IDU the system will perform self test, this will
take a few seconds.
2.1 NEW-NMS/NEW-Configurator Startup and

connecting to Network Elements
The NEW-NMS/NEW-Configurator (Nera Element vieW-Network Manage-
ment System/ -Configurator) program must be installed on a PC satisfying
the following minimum requirements:
• NT4.0/Win95/Win98 operating system

• Pentium 133MHz processor
• 32MB memory
• 200MB disk size
• 1 COM port
• CD-ROM drive
B4040 Rev. A 61
Follow carefully the program installation instructions to make sure the
program is successfully installed.
The element viewer can monitor the Network Elements (NEs) using a serial
connection (RS-232) or a TCP/IP connection (or both for different network
elements). Apply all external connections to the PC before the program is
started.
A serial connection must be used the first time the network manager/
configurator is connected to the CityLink, because the IP address must be
set in the CityLink, before a TCP/IP connection can be established.

Serial Connection (RS-232/ LCT).
Apply the serial cable to one of the serial ports of the PC and the LCT port
of the CityLink. Start the program. A Log on dialog box pops up. Log on to
the network with your user id and password.
Note!
NEW-NMS' security system has initially one user account:
User ID: admin
Password: adminpasswd
It is strongly recommended to change this password!
The program has an auto discover function which automatically discovers

NEs connected to the serial ports of the PC when starting. If some NEs are
connected to the serial ports of the PC, the network topology is automatically
discovered and presented in the Explorer view. Press Add to include
discovered elements in the network topology of the program. The auto
discover function can also be manually executed by selecting Discover from
the File menu. When discovering the network manually, the program looks
for NEs at the open ports listed in the Communication dialog box (select
Communication from the Configuration menu).

Apply Ethernet connections to both the CityLink and PC. Start the program.
A Log on dialog box pops up. Log on to the network with your user id and
password.
Note!
User ID: admin
The program does not know the IP-address of the network element so the
connection must be manually established. To configure a TCP/IP connec-
tion to the network element, select Communication from the Configuration
menu. Press the Add button and type the IP address of the NE in the address
field of the dialog box which pops up. Press OK to save the changes, and
OK to close the Communication Configuration dialog box. Select Discover
from the File menu. Press Add to include discovered elements in the network
topology of the program. The accepted network elements will be discovered
and presented in the Explorer view.
2.2 Initial Configuration

When the program has established contact with the CityLink, some config-
urations must be set before antenna alignment can be performed.
A Configuration Wizard will guide you through the initial configurations.

Start the Wizard by selecting the network element in the Explorer view. Then
select Configuration > Wizard from the right mouse button context menu.

This section assumes that the System Startup described in Section III has
been performed for the complete radio link hop.
Configuration of the Network Elements is done from the Explorer View which
can be launched by selecting Explore Net from the View menu.
Configuration of Network Elements is achieved using a set of property-

sheets. The property-sheets are modeless, so configuration of several
different modules can be displayed simultaneously.
To open the configuration property-sheets:

Press the Right mouse-button on the Network Element node/leaf you want
to view/change the current configurations. A dynamic menu pops up. Open
the Configuration sub-menu and select the configuration-specific menu
item.
The configuration property sheets can also be launched by selecting/

marking an NE node/leaf in the Explorer View and then selecting the
configuration-specific menu item under the Edit sub menu in the Configu-
ration menu.
The property-sheets are divided into two categories by means of function-

ality:

using notifications, NEW gets new information faster than if only polling is
used. Polling should however be used in addition to notifications. The NE
keeps individual notification settings for each NEW that is logged on to the
NE, such that the settings made from one NEW only apply to that NEW. Note
that the settings will be reset to default when NEW logs on to the NE or when
the IDU is reset.

2.6 Software Versions
The SW versions property sheet shows the software revisions and their
status. The IDU contains two application code memory banks for both the
SU (IDU) and the Transceiver (ODU). Both the IDU and the ODU use
application code from one bank, while the other bank is available for SW
download. New software can be downloaded (see Chapter 2.5 SW Down-
load) in the unused bank while the IDU or ODU is executing the code of the
other bank. The user may also select which bank to execute the application
from if both banks contain valid software.
The ODU contains an application code software bank in addition to the two
banks in the IDU. The ODU software is copied from the active IDU bank to
the ODU bank during the ODU boot process.
The SW Versions configuration sheet can be opened from the Configura-

tion context menu of the Element node in the Explorer view. The sheet can
also be invoked by selecting (highlighting) the Element node in the Explorer

3.0 Transmission Node

3.1 Transmission Configuration
The Transmission Configuration sheet is used to set the transmission
standard and termination on the element. When the applied termination is
different from RST, the sheet is also used to configure the SETS functionality.
An IDU may support different interface cards for different markets. This
includes Ethernet, OC-/STM-1, DS3/E3 and 21x2Mbps tributary cards. Each
element will, however, only support one extension board at a time. From the
Transmission Configuration sheet the user can enable SONET or SDH
standards and the functionality of the specific tributary card. The 21x2Mbit/
s tributary card assumes a frame structure which contains 63 E1s. To enable
this board, select the termination to be Lower Order Path Termination -
LOPT. If the DS3/E3 Extension Board or the STM-1 Extension Board is
mounted, the frame structure must be set explicitly.
The Transmission Configuration configuration sheet can be opened from

the Configuration context menu of the Transmission node in the Explorer
view. The sheet can also be invoked by selecting (highlighting) the Trans-
mission node in the Explorer view and then selecting Edit Transmission
Configuration from the Configuration menu.

Connect Extension Board is equipped)
• Enable DS3/E3 (available only if DS3/E3
Extension Board is equipped)
Note: If this setting is changed and applied to
the element, the equipment will perform a soft-
ware reset.
Element Type The type of «timing element» were supposed to

be. This is important in a network where SETS is
applied. Legal values are:
• SEC
• SSU Local (G.812 Local)
• SSU Transit (G812 Transit)
• PRC
SSU Clock Source This field will only be enabled whenever the
Element Type is set to either SSU (G.812
Local) or SSU (G.812 Transit). The SSU is an
external clock regenerator or filter that will
remove jitter from the clock on its input. It will
then output a regenerated clock on its output.
The SSU is connected to the element via the
2MHz synch RJ-45 plug on the front of the IDU.
The clock source can be one of the following:
• LINE
• RADIO
• Any dropped 2Mbit/s
• LINE EXT
The last option will only be available if the X-
Connect Extension Board is present.
78 B4040 Rev. A
Configuration
SSU Squelch Level This field will only be enabled whenever the
Element Type is set to either SSU (G.812 Local) or
SSU (G.812 Transit). If the quality of the clock source
changes to a quality that is below this «quality
squelch» level, the 2MHz synch output to the SSU
will be squelched. This in turn will cause the SSU to
enter holdover mode (or free-running), i.e. the clock
quality it sends to the 2MHz synch input will have a
G.812 quality (ref. ITU-T Recommendation G.812)
that is based upon the internal oscillator in the SSU.
Legal squelch levels are:
• Better or equal G.813
• Better or equal G.812 Local
• Better or equal G.812 Transit
• Equal G.811
Clock Priority This is the first column in the Clock Priority list view.
This field will only be enabled whenever the Element
Type is set to SEC. This is just a number specifying
the priority of the rows where 1 is the higher priority.
The user can not change anything in this column.
Clock Source This is the second column in the Clock Priority list
view. This field will only be enabled whenever the
Element Type is set to SEC. If e.g. the user double
clicks the first cell in this column, a combobox will be
shown over the cell. The user can than select from
where the clock to this priority list item shall be taken.
This can also be done for the 2nd and 3rd cell in this
column. The 4th cell, on the other hand, is the internal
oscillator which will be used whenever the element is
in holdover mode. This cell cant be altered. Legal
values are:
• LINE
• RADIO
• 2MHz Synch
• LINE EXT
Note: Only one of the priority list items can be
configured to take its clock source from a 2Mbit/s
tributary at the time. This is due to HW constraints.
B4040 Rev. A 79
Clock Quality This is the third column in the Clock Priority list view. This
field will only be enabled whenever the Element Type is set
to SEC. If the Clock Source field for a specific priority list
item is set to either STM-1 LINE or STM-1 RADIO, the
corresponding cell in this column will be set to SSM and
will be grayed out (i.e. disabled). This means that the content
of the S1-byte (located in the MSOH) will inform the element
of which clock quality the traffic in the specific directions is
clocked with. If the Clock Source field for a specific priority
list item is set to be taken from the 2MHz Synch input, or it
is to be taken from a 2Mbit/s tributary, their clock quality
arent embedded in the traffic in any way. This means
that the user will have to set their clock qualities manually.
In these cases, the cell in question in this column will be
enabled and the user can set the quality. Legal values are:
• G.813
• G.812 Local
• G.812 Transit
• G.811
In addition to these, SSM will also be present in the list but
can not be selected.
Note: Ref. ITU-T for more information regarding the
different G.8xx recommendations.
Enabled This is the fourth column in the Clock Priority list view.
This field will only be enabled whenever the Element Type
is set to SEC. If a specific priority list item has this cell
checked it will be present in the clock priority scheme. If
not it is ignored.
Active Priority This is the fifth column in the Clock Priority list view. This
field presents the currently active clock. The field is
updated each time the GET button is pressed.
Note: If the user, by means of the Drop or Continue dialog, removes any of
the tributaries in the list above, they will automatically be removed from
the list!

A brief description of the different terminations:

RST:
This is the default setting on the element when delivered from the factory.
With this configuration the SONET structure is ignored, i.e. it can be
anything because the virtual containers will not be accessed. The equipment
will monitor and re-generate B1 pulses. M1 REI and B2 will only be monitored.
Figure IV-10 shows the Transmission Configuration dialog when this setting
is applied.
Note: When the element is RST, all the SETS elements of the dialog are
disabled. This is because SETS only is used when the element is configured
as MST or Lower Order Path Termination - LOPT. Even though the SETS
functionality is disabled, the user can see the last applied MST settings.
Figure IV-10 Transmission Configuration, RST
B4040 Rev. A 81
MST:

3.2 Alarm Indication Signal Insert

(For advanced users)
The Path Trace functionality and the AIS (Alarm Indicator Signal) function-
ality are used for verifying that the received OC-3 frames are the desired
receive frames (correct routing, frequency alignment...). This is done by
either inserting a fixed byte or a user defined ASCII string in the J0 slot in the
SOH, or a two bit RF ID symbol at the transmit end. This is done from the path
trace sheet. The RF ID functionality is only available at the Radio side. The
radio that receives the OC-3 frames must have the same Trace string (J0) or
RF ID defined in the AIS insert sheet. If there is a mismatch, an AIS can be
inserted. An AIS can also be inserted if the HBER threshold is exceeded.
The AIS Insert configuration sheet can be opened from the Configuration
context menu of both the Transmission Radio and Line Rx nodes in the
Explorer view. The sheet can also be invoked by selecting (highlighting) one
of the Transmission Radio and Line Rx nodes in the Explorer view and then
selecting Edit AIS Insert from the Configuration menu.

3.3 Path Trace
(For advanced users)
The Path Trace functionality and the AIS (Alarm Indicator Signal) function-
ality are used to test that the received OC-3 frames are desired receive frames
(correct routing, frequency alignment. . . . ). This is done by either inserting
a fixed byte or an user defined ASCII sting in the J0 slot in the SOH, or a two
bit RF ID symbol at the transmit end. This is done from the path trace sheet.
The RF ID functionality is only available at the Radio side. The radio that
receives the OC-3 frames must have the same Trace string (J0) or RF ID
defined in the AIS insert sheet. If there is a mismatch, an AIS can be inserted.
An AIS can also be inserted if the HBER threshold is exceeded.
The Path Trace configuration sheet can be opened from the Configuration
context menu of both the Transmission Radio and Line Tx nodes in the
Explorer view. The sheet can also be invoked by selecting (highlighting) the
one of the Transmission Radio and Line Tx nodes in the Explorer view and
then selecting Edit Path Trace from the Configuration menu.

4.0 Equipment Node

4.1 Management Network Routing
The active and initial routing tables map incoming messages that are
addressed to other NEs, to different communication ports.
The active routing table is used by the IDU to route messages to other NEs,
using the best path detected. The IDU regularly searches for connected NEs
through all enabled communication ports to detect any changes in the
network topology. This table is initialized with the initial routing entries when
the IDU is rebooted (and when the initial routing table is configured by the
user) and then evolves towards an optimal routing table.
The initial routing table is used after the IDU has been booted. This table is
used as a starting point for the routing mechanism, and will thus, if properly
set, decrease the time the NE uses to create a sufficient active routing table.
Initial routing entries can be manually added and active routing entries can
be copied to the initial table.
The Routing Table configuration sheet can be opened from the Configura-
tion context menu of the Equipment node in the Explorer view. The sheet can
also be invoked by selecting (highlighting) the Equipment node in the
Explorer view and then selecting Edit Routing Table from the Configura-
tion menu.

routing table automatically based on shortest path/
lowest weight. If Manual, the entry is never changed by
the router and fixed route configuration is used.
Section The Section number of the addressed NE (1-128).
NE The NE address of the destination NE. If this number is
255, section routing is used. That means that this routing
entry is used for all NEs in the specified section.
Possible values: 1...62 (and broadcast address 255).
Port The communication port of which the messages are to be
routed through. Possible values:
• NI1
• NI2
• DCC Line

Static Routes
Maximum 20 static routes can be configured on a Nera OSPF router.
Active Routes
An Nera OSPF router supports approximately 200 active routes.
OSPF areas
It is not recomended to have more than 25 OSPF routers per OSPF area.
Each area may export up to 8 address ranges.
Fixed configuration options

The Nera OSPF implementation is not a dedicated router implementation and
as such some parameters that would normally be configurable are fixed. For
interoperability with other equipment it is however sometimes important that
the configuration of external equipment match these values.
Name Value
Inject default route into stub area YES
Router dead interval 40 sec
Hello interval 10 sec
Retransmit delay 1 sec
Retransmit interval 5 sec
Authentication NO
Limitations
This implementation supports a basic implementation of OSPF v.2 (RFC
2823). It does not support virtual links and MD5 authentication.
Other options
This implementation supports a rudimentary mechanism for distribution of
static and RIP2 routes. The implementation also supports exporting routes
to RIP2.

The DS3 extension board includes three PDH ports, each of which supports
looping. The board supports Far End Loop, Near End Loop, PRBS insertion
and PRBS verification. The loops are available when the PDH Ports on the
DS3 board have been configured to add or drop traffic.
A PRBS signal can be inserted on all three PDH ports instead of the regular
traffic. The incoming PRBS signal can then be checked in order to verify the
quality of the communication path. To check the quality of the signal, a PRBS
counter is configured to count the errors on one of the PDH Ports in one of
the DS3 directions. An error is detected when the signal differs from the
expected PRBS signal.
The DS3 board has one PRBS generator that can be muxed into either
inbound or outbound direction on one or more ports simultaneously. The
PRBS generator can be inverted. For DS3 the PRBS polynom is 215 -1. The
PRBS checker is available at one of the PDH ports in either inbound or
outbound direction and can also check inverted PRBS signals.

4.6.1 DS3 Configuration
The DS3 functionality allows the operator to connect two Virtual Containers
(VC) in different ports. The connections are identified by using the back-
ground color of the ports together with the KLM address of the virtual
container. The background color of a virtual container identifies the source
port, while the KLM address identifies the source address.
As an example consider the marked VCs in Figure IV-50. The VC on the Line
Port is connected with the VC having a KLM address of 1,2,1 on the Radio
Port. While the VC on the Radio Port is connected with the VC having a KLM
address of 1,1,1 on the Line Port.
SNCP functionality is available on the DS3 Port and is identified with a split
cell.
Traffic Looping is achieved by connecting VCs on the same port and is only
available for the line - and radio port. The DS3 port does not support traffic
looping, but does however support test looping. DS3 looping is only
available on the connected when the port has been configured to add/drop
traffic.

4.8.6 Space Diversity
A Space Diversity system is using two antennas (denoted Main and
Space) mounted apart and connected to one Space Diversity transceiver
to achieve better performance. This requires different wave guide lengths for
the two antennas, which results in different signal propagation delays at the
Main and Space receiver inputs.
To compensate for this effect the transceiver can add delay in one of the
signal paths (normally in the Space path). Optimal receiver performance
requires an accurate delay compensation.
The two antenna signals are combined to get a single received signal for the
demodulation process.
The combiner can operate in automatic mode (controlled by signal quality

criteria derived internally in the transceiver) or in manual mode (user selects
how to combine the signals).

When Combiner mode is set to Manual, the user
may choose which signal to use.
When Combiner mode is set to Auto, it shows
whether the Main, or combined signal is used.
Note that the Automatic Gain Control level (AGC
level), that can be measured on the front of the
Transceiver, gives the level of the channel when
manually set to Space, while the level of the
Main channel is given when in automatic mode
or manually set to Main channel.
Automatic adjustment: Opens Automatic Space Delay Calculation
dialog and starts the coherent delay calculation
routine in the modem card.
NB! The routine uses the delay value currently
set on the transceiver as starting point for its
measurements and the coherent calculations. To
achieve the best result it is recommended that
the approximate delay is selected and set on the
transceiver before starting the mentioned routine.
Delay (ns): Add the specified delay to the Space signal
path. The valid range depends on the software
version on the transceiver.
4.8.6.2 Automatic Space Delay Calculation

To simplify installation of a Space Diversity system, an automatic space
delay calculation routine is implemented on the modem board. This routine
attempts to calculate the optimal delay for the given system based on
measurements from the modem board and transceiver unit.
Note! The routine uses the delay value currently set on the transceiver as
starting point for its measurements and the coherent calculations. To
achieve the best result it is recommended that the approximate delay is
selected and set on the transceiver before starting the automatic space delay
calculation routine.

The graph in the dialog displays the calculated Delay Compensation Value
as a function of the delay (in nanoseconds), and is updated each time a new
delay value is set in the transceiver. The delay currently used in the
calculation is displayed above the graph.
The optimal delay is normally found at the graphs minmum. The valid range
for the delay is -6 to 130 ns.

4.9.2 ODU Transceiver - Power Configuration
The Transceiver Power Configuration sheet lets the user set some Output
Power settings, some RF Input warning thresholds and ATPC settings.
ATPC (Automatic Transceiver Power Control) is a function for effectively

reducing the interference probability in your network. The output power
from the transceiver is automatic controlled. If the regulation loop for the
ATPC stops functioning, an alarm is generated. This alarm can be delayed.
The output power is automatically muted when the frequency setting is

executed.
The Power configuration sheet can be opened from the Configuration

then selecting Edit Power from the Configuration menu.

5.0 Hot Standby

5.1 General
A CityLink Hot Standby system consists of two InDoor Units connected to
an IDU Switch and two OutDoor Units connected to the a HSB branching
unit. The IDU switch performs switching in the Rx direction, while the
branching unit has an RF-switch in the Tx direction.
Figure IV-77 Hot Standby Explorer view
5.1.1 Functionality
The IDU switch will perform most of the normal tasks of an IDU, with the two
IDUs maintaining modem functionality. Thus, configuration of line inputs,
wayside channels etc will be handled on the switch, while modem-specific
functionality (e.g Viterbi error pulses) is found on the IDU. Some function-
ality, like auxiliary outputs, are found in both places.

174 B4040 Rev. A

Configuration
Switching algorithm
The following algorithm is applied in automatic switching mode:
Compute the total severity factor of each branch (SA, SB) using the following
formula:
SCenabled1is 1 if the switching criteria RF Input Alarm is enabled (checked),

else it is 0. SCactive1 is 1 if the alarm/category RF Input alarm is active
(present) on the element, else it is 0.
If SA = SB, switch to the preferred branch (The preferred branch is set in the
Hot Standby Config page)
If SA > SB, switch to SB if branch A is active.
If SB > SA, switch to SA if branch B is active.
Automatic Switch Mode

The IDU switch checks the state of both channel A and channel B regularly.
This task decides whether an Rx switch is needed or not. Similarly, the Tx
switching is controlled by the ODU. For the Tx switching to work, the
connected IDU signals the ODU when at least one of the switching criteria
are present on the IDU.
In automatic switch mode the following rule constrain switching:

A channel switch is performed if, and only if, the channel switched to, has
no switch conditions true.
On IDU A and IDU B, a dedicated task is continuously checking whether the

Rx or Tx switch criteria status has changed, and if so, notifies the IDU switch
and ODU about the change.
Currently, bi-directional switching is not implemented in automatic mode.
Manual Switch Mode

In manual switch mode, bi-directional switching is performed only as a result
of a Q1 message from external management software (e.g. NEW-NMS).
Currently, unidirectional switching is not implemented in manual mode.

5.1.5 Reconfiguring a Hot Standby IDU for
use in 1+0 Configuration
An IDU that has been used in a HSB configuration will continue to be
configured as a HSB element until explicitly reconfigured. To do this, first
disconnect the IDU from the switch. Then use NEW-NMS to connect to the
element with a serial cable. NEW-NMS explorer view should now display
an equipment tree with a single node. Bring up the Element ID dialog from
the Configuration menu, and disable the Hot Standby checkbox. When the
element is next power cycled, it will start up in 1+0 configuration. This can
be verified with the Element ID dialog.
5.1.6 Reconfiguring a 1+0 IDU for

use in Hot StandBy Configuration
If the IDU used in a 1+0 is to be prepared for an IDU in a HSB system, it is
very important to do the following procedure :
1.Connect the HSB cable between the IDUs and the switch
2.Power up the HSB IDU
3.Power up the IDU A and IDU B
The IDUs will now be automatically reconfigured as IDUs used in a HSB

system.
WARNING!
If the Y-cable connectors marked with IDU A and IDU B are
swapped, the IDUs must always be rebooted after this opera-
tion.

• How to verify transmission quality and capacity ?
One way to do this is to set up two computers and do a file transfer
(FTP) between them over the hop.
One PC working as FTP-server and one as FTP-client, check the

time for transfer of the file and calculate throughput.
Do not have any HUBs connected during this test.
Stability of the equipment and hop will be easiest monitored on

B4040 Rev. A 239

16.4 Test Manager
This Module provides means to perform test functions on the equipment.
The design provides an extensible way of generating traffic loops on various
interfaces and test points. It is possible at run time to query for possible loop
settings and perform tests without previous knowledge of the test loops
provided by the equipment.

16.6 Fault Manager
This module is an extension to the fault management framework defined by
the NERA-MIB specification. It supplies an extension to the previous fault
log which is more configurable than the previous. In addition it supplies new
functionality where a manager can query all supported alarm types from the
equipment and retrieve descriptions and node information for each one. This
will reduce the linking between the management software and the agent
considerably.

3.0 Troubleshooting by NEW-NMS Configurator

3.1 Introduction
Fault management is the process of locating and correcting network prob-
lems or faults. Fault management is possibly the most important task in
network management. It consists of identifying the occurrence of a fault,
isolating the cause of the fault and correcting it if possible. The fault
management increases the network reliability by giving the network operator
a tool that quickly detects problems and initiates recovery procedures.
NEW contains functions for acquisition, presentation and storage of alarms

and events from the network to be managed.
3.2 Information Acquisition

In order to detect faults, information must be gathered from the network. The
state of the network is monitored using two different methods.
3.2.1 Polling
The various network elements should be polled on a regular basis, so that
changes in Network Elements (NE) are detected and network connectivity
is checked. Which NE to poll, the polling rate and what to be polled for a
specific NE is user definable.
B4040 Rev. A 247

3.2.2 Event Notification
In addition to polling, some NEs have the ability to spontaneously report
events. The NEW will gather this information in addition to polling. This
feature will decrease the managers response time to network events consid-
erably.
3.3 Alarm Presentation

In all views, where network information is presented, colors are used to
indicate the alarm severity status of the NEs. To easily identify the status of
the NEs, all alarms are classified according to their severity. Each alarm
severity class has a color. In the different views, the NEs change colors
according to the color of their most severe alarm. The alarm classifications
are described in the table below.
Severity Color Description

(default)
Normal Green No alarms or warning have been reported
from the NE.
Warning Yellow Indicates the detection of a potential or
impending service-affecting fault, before any
significant affects have been felt. Action
should be taken to further diagnose and
correct the problem in order to prevent it
from becoming a more serious service-
affecting fault.
Minor alarm DarkYellow Indicates the existence of a non-service-
affecting fault condition and that corrective
action should be taken in order to prevent a
more serious fault.
Major alarm Orange Signifies that a service-affecting condition
has occurred and urgent corrective action is
required.
Critical alarm Red The most severe alarm. It signifies that a
service-affecting condition has occurred and
an immediate corrective action is required.
No contact Blue Indicates that no contact is achieved with the
NE. The communication settings should be
checked in order to obtain contact with the
element.
Misconfigured Magenta The NE has not been properly configured.
248 B4040 Rev. A

Troubleshooting
3.4 Visual Alarm Notification
There are four different ways of monitoring alarms in NEW. These methods
are described in the following subchapters. The NEW context sensitive help
system offers a more comprehensive support on all features in the NEW
program.
3.4.1 Alarms on a Tree node/leaf in the Explorer view

The Explorer View is opened by selecting Explore Net from the View Menu.
Figure VI-1 shows an example of the Explorer view.
The Explorer View shows the Network information in a logical manner. Each
NE is divided into two main branches; a Transmission branch and an
Equipment branch. The sub-branches and leaves under the Transmission
branch concern the transmission aspects of the NE. The sub-branches and
leaves under the Equipment branch concern the physical equipment of the
NE.
Figure VI-1 Example of Explorer View
B4040 Rev. A 249

The Explorer view use the severity colors to indicate alarm events. The alarms
are presented in a hierarchical manner. The color of the most severe alarm is
inherited from the leaf where the alarm was identified, to all branch leaves up
to the section symbol. E.g. the section and NE symbols will always show the
alarm color of the most severe alarm identified in the sub-branches in the
Explorer view.
By pressing the right mouse button on any nodes/leaves in the Explorer View
and selecting Current Alarms from the context menu, a Current Alarm List
(ref. Appendix III) is opened showing all alarms Hierarchical below the
selected leaf.
3.4.2 Alarms on a Node symbol in the Map view

The Map View is opened by selecting Map Navigator from the View Menu.
Follow the instructions in the Help file to create a map. Figure VI-2 shows an
example of the view.
The Map View shows the Network information in a physical manner. Each
NE is showed as an NE icon. Graphic-files can be added as background
images in the view. NE icons grouped together with bindings form networks.
The NE icons change their severity colors according to the current most
severe alarm of the NE.
Figure VI-2 Example of Map View
By pressing the right mouse button on a NE icon in the Map View and
selecting Alarms from the context menu, a Current Alarm List (ref. Appendix
III) is opened showing all alarms of the NE.
250 B4040 Rev. A

Troubleshooting
3.4.3 Viewing Alarms in the Current Alarms View
The Current Alarm View can be opened by selecting Current Alarms from
the Fault Menu. Figure VI-3 shows an example of the Current Alarms List.
Each alarm is listed as a row in the list as shown in Table VI-1.
The Current Alarms List can also be opened from both the Explorer View
and the Map View by selecting Current Alarms from the right-mouse-
button-click context menu. The filter is then automatically set up to show
only the alarms hierarchically below the node/leaf the alarm list was opened
from.
Figure VI-3 Example of Current Alarms
Fields Description
Severity The severity of the alarm
Alarm text A short description of the alarm
Node The name of the node where the alarm occurred

Alarms can also be logged to files. Consult the NEW NMS Manual or the
NEW NMS Help system for further information.
B4040 Rev. A 251

4.0 Cable Fault

If a cable fault is indicated, it indicates that the microprocessor communica-
tions between the IDU and ODU have failed. The fault is most probably with
the cable connection. It may be open or shorted. Disconnect the cable from
the IDU and leave the ODU connected. Measure the DC cable resistance
between the center pin and the outer conductor of the N-type connector
terminating the cable by means of a multi-meter.
If resistance is in the order of some hundreds kW to a few MW:

Probably no cable fault.
Replace IDU or ODU, one at the time. If alarm persists, swap the replaced unit
for the original and replace the other unit.
If resistance is less than some hundreds kW:

Probably cable or connector damage. Check the cable and connectors at both
ends for defects or for reasons that would cause the problem. Remeasure
DC resistance, now with both cable ends disconnected. The resistance
should be open circuit and if not replace the entire cable run, terminating
with new N-type connectors.
If resistance is immeasurable (high impedance):

Typically reasons are connectors not terminated correctly or cable cut.
Check the cable and connectors at both ends for defects or for reasons that
would cause the problem. Remeasure DC resistance, with the outer end still
connected to the ODU. If still immeasurable impedance, replace the entire
cable run, terminating with new N-type connectors.
