Note: Each time you can monitor and configure only a pair of IDR-C
systems. Always consider as Home IDR-C the system of the pair
closest to the LCT (yet not necessarily physically connected to it).
IDR-C ports
The IDR-C has two asynchronous RS-232 ports (NMS1 and NMS2)
with baud rate 57600 bit/s for the connection of the LCT and the NMS
and one virtual synchronous serial port (over the RF link). All three
ports run RIP v2 and active PPP with PPP MTU size 400 bytes.

Chapter 4: Getting Started

Getting
started
To get started, follow the steps below:

Step
1
2
Action
Install the management application (IDR-C MASTER) in the
Local Craft Terminal (page 9).
Install the manufacturer driver in the Local Craft Terminal
and create a dial-up connection between the Local Craft
Terminal and the IDR-C of the station (page 9).
NOTE

Special case:
IDR-C
connected to
a router
Through the creation of the dial-up connection, the

IDR-C assigns the LCT an IP address equal to the
IDR-C station IP address + 1 (e.g. if the IDR-C
station IP address is the 192.168.59.37, the LCT
IP address will be the 192.168.59.38).
Connect the Local Craft Terminal to the IDR-C of the station

(page 16).
Change the IP address of the station (page 102, Annex B:
Changing the Station Name, the Link Name and the Station
IP Address).
Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 for all the IDR-C stations.
Launch the IDR-C MASTER (page 17).
Get connected to the IDR-C you want to configure (page
19).
Set the IDR-C clock (page 22).
Proceed to the configuration of the IDR-C (page 23).
You can connect the NMS1 or NMS2 port of the IDR-C to an

asynchronous serial interface of a router but you should configure the
router serial interface baud rate fixed at 57600 bit/s and assign the
router interface an IP address in the same subnet as the IDR-C which
is not used in the IDR-C network.
Example: If the IP address of the IDR-C is 192.168.59.5, assign the IP
address 192.168.59.253 to the router serial interface (if you assign the
IP address 192.168.59.6 to the router interface, the RIP will be
deactivated for this port as the IDR-C considers it is an LCT and not a
router port thus deactivating RIP transmissions).
Find an example of a router configuration on page 108, Annex C:
Example of Router Configuration.
NOTE
The only route the router needs to advertise towards the IDR-C
stations is the default route. Please note that each station
routing table can store up to 10 station routes (IDR-C stations)
and one default route.

Optimizing the Link

Info
To achieve reliable transmission in a microwave link, the transmitted

power plus the gain of the transmitter and receiver antennas should
exceed the attenuation at the transmission path and the sensitivity of
the receiver. The attenuation at the transmission path is given in the
following formula:
A=92.4+20logD+20logF
A is the attenuation at the transmission path in dB
D is the distance between the antennas in km
F is the frequency of the microwave signal in GHz
Prerequisites
If you use the LCT to observe the reception level or the RSSI, you will
need another person to move the antenna.
Procedure
To optimize the link, while performing minor horizontal and vertical

movements of the antenna, do one of the following:
Open the ODU tabbed sheet and check the reception level in the Rx
In box in the Radio Measurements group box:
Open the IDR View tabbed sheet and check the reception level in

Annex A: Installing the Manufacturer Driver at the LCT and

creating a dial-up Connection to the IDR-C (Manual
Procedure)
Why to install
the
manufacturer
driver
You need to install the manufacturer driver at your LCT because

during the installation a virtual modem is created making possible the
exchange of IP packets (needed by the LCT management application
which is IP based) through the RS-232 ports of the LCT and the IDRC.
When to
perform the
procedure
You need to install the manufacturer driver at your LCT and create a
dial-up connection to the IDR-C of the station before launching the
IDR-C management application (IDR-C MASTER) and getting
connected to the IDR-C.

Annex B: Changing the Station Name, the Link Name and the
Station IP Address
IDR-C IP Addressing
Each station with an IDR-C system is assigned an IP address so that it
can be identified in a network. The IP address of each station has to
be unique in the network to which the station belongs. You can use the
LCT, type the appropriate IP addresses and get connected, monitor
and configure up to 10 stations. All stations should belong to the same
subnet with subnet mask 255.255.255.0
As four IP addresses should be reserved for each station (the IDR-C
station address, the broadcast address, the network address and the
LCT address assigned to the LCT through the creation of the dial-up
connection between the LCT and the IDR-C), the IP address of the
station should have the following format:
A.B.C.D/30 with D=4n+1 where n is an integer from 1 to 62.
See below an example of IP addressing:
Station
Station 1
Station 2
Station 3
