2.1.2 Configuration
2.1.2.1 Unprotected configuration
An Alcatel 9400 UX unprotected (1+0) radio terminal is made up of the following elements:
an Outdoor Unit (ODU): incorporating the complete RF transceiver (modem, RF units, branching filter)
and an integrated or separated antenna.The ODU is capacity independent,
an Indoor Unit (IDU): incorporating the baseband processing and offering tributary interfaces as well
as service channels and supervision.
The IDU is frequency independent (same unit from 11 up to 38 GHz).

Different IDU configurations are available depending on system configuration:
a light version available in 1+0 configuration and up to 4x2 Mbit/s,
20/348
a classic version allowing all possible configurations (1+0, 1+1, capacity up to 16x2 or 34 +2 Mbit/s).
These two IDU versions are compatible with a same ODU and can be mixed in the same network.
a single coaxial cable of a length which can be up to 300 m.

2.1.2.2 Protected configuration
Two types of problem can impact the availability of a radio link: equipment failures and propagation problems.
1+1 protected configurations are used to increase the availability of the link compared to 1+0 unprotected
configuration, by adding redundant functions to the equipment on the Outdoor and Indoor parts:
to secure the link in case of temporary (transient alarm) or definitive (equipment failure) malfunction,
to improve the performances of the equipment towards propagation problem (in some outdoor unit
configurations only).
The (1+1) configurations include automatic errorless Rx switching.

If the link is protected, wayside traffic and auxiliary channels are automatically protected.
Various protected configurations are available with the following applications:

2.1.3 ALCATEL 9400 UX features

2.1.3.1 Equipment flexibility
Software controlled frequency:
The infield agility of the 9400 UX is provided on a quarter frequency plan (synthesizer step 250 kHz). Only four
different ODUs maximum are needed to cover the full frequency band.
Figure 2 Subband breakdown

The synthesized, software controlled, RF local oscillator allows easy frequency setting.
Software controlled capacity:
The Alcatel 9400 UX system provides unique capacity agility features, controlled by software up to a maximum
bit rate. This maximum can be adjusted from 2x2 Mbit/s to 16x2 Mbit/s using the appropriate software features
key.
The system capacity can be configured by software to between 2x2 Mbit/s and the maximum authorized by the
software features key.
Moreover, capacity upgrade can be made easily by changing only the software features key.
Transmission power control:
In certain cases, the output power of the equipment has to be decreased, to reduce interference between other
links in case of very short hops. This feature improves the flexibility of the network design and also increases
frequency reutilisation
Different implementations of transmission power control are available depending on the frequency bands:
22/348
At 13 GHz (3CC09297Axxx),15 GHz (3CC08880Axxx and 3CC08978Axxx) and 18 GHz, insertion of

fixed attenuators (of 3, 6 or 10 dB) on transmission side in the IDU.
for the 13 GHz 4QAM (3CC11737Axxx) and the 16QAM (3CC 11736Axxx), a software transmission
power control of 20 dB in 1 dB step can be provided (as a software features key option with classic IDU,
embedded within the Light IDU)
for the 15 GHz 4QAM (3CC12979Axxx), a software transmission power control of 30 dB in 1 dB step
can be provided (as a software features key option with classic IDU, embedded within the Light IDU)
in the millimetric frequency bands (23 to 38 GHz), a software transmission power control of 30 dB in
1 dB step for the 4QAM and of 20 dB in a 1 dB step for the 16 QAM, can be provided (as a software
features key option with classic IDU; embedded within the Light IDU).
for all new generation ODU (ref. A9400 UX flat ODU) frequency bands for the 4 or 16QAM, the software
power transmission control of 30 dB in 1db step can be provided with the software features key.
software features key parameters:
Figure 3 Software features key

The software features key, used with the classic IDU, provides flexibility for the configuration parameters of the
equipment, as well as its options:
maximum configuration definition: 1+0 or 1+1,
maximum capacity definition: 2x2 Mbit/s up to 16x2 Mbit/s or 34 Mbits/s,
authorisation for 16QAM modulation,
setup of transmission frequency range (7 to 40 GHz by default but configurable upon customer specific
request),
authorization for Transmit Power Control option (all bands except 18 GHz),
authorization for Embedded Mediation option (master terminal or slave terminal),
The Light IDU features a fixed embedded configuration (no removable software features key):
maximum configuration: 1+0,
capacity: 2x2 Mbit/s up to 4x2 Mbit/s,
Transmit Power Control option enabled (all bands except 18 GHz),
Link Identity Coding:

The amount of microwave links, especially in urban areas puts the problem of possible interference during
installation and turnon phase.
The digital frame incorporates Link Identity coding capabilities to prevent the capture of an unwanted signal.
2.1.3.2 Ease of installation
The Alcatel 9400 UX systems have been designed to allow quick installation and turnon.
Compact Outdoor Unit:
The Outdoor unit (ODU) is housed in a very compact and robust weatherproof (IP 55) container; it is delivered
with a solar shield which provides protection to the outdoor electronics in hot and very sunny climatic zones.
23/348
The Outdoor Unit (1 or 2 depending on the configuration 1+0 or 1+1) can be rapidly installed on suitable poles
with their own fastening system.
The specific pole mounting is equipped with an accurate alignment system presetting and fine elevation and
bearing tuning to permit easy pointing with the integrated antenna. A very compact pole mounting has been
optimized for 1+0 configuration, it is common to 9400UX from 13 to 38 GHz.
The 9400 UX outdoor unit can be used with an integrated antenna 300 or 600 mm diameter or separate
antennas if a larger diameter is needed.
The ODU is fixed by means of quick latches. This system allows you to change the ODU without altering the
antenna alignment.
Two ODU generations are available. The new generation ODU, A9400 UX flat ODU, is lighter than the previous
range from 94xxUXR201 to 94xxUXR203*. It is 4 and 16QAM compatible and software configurable only.
* xx is for the band frequency of the Outdoor unit. For example, a unit referenced 9413UXR204 depends on the
13GHz frequency band

or 94xxUXR203
ODU A9400 UX flat ODU
Figure 4 Installation of the ODU

The alignment of the antenna can be easily performed with the use of a dedicated service kit. This kit , when
connected to the ODU, is able to show the reception signal level and provide the connection to the other end
of the link through a telephone service channel (when applicable).
Different IDU mechanical versions:
The small size of the 19 IDU (classic or light) 1U high for all capacities, depth 235mm allows for easy
installation in standard 19 racks and saves a lot of space where space is limited like in shelters or base stations
in cellular or LMDS networks.
The 19 IDU can also be installed as a desktop unit.
Figure 5 Light 19 IDU

Single coaxial cable:
A single coaxial cable of up to 300 m connects the ODU and the IDU, so that a high flexibility is left for locating
the radio and antenna.
24/348
Simple commissioning:
All the standard Site Acceptance Tests can be done with a single PC to commission the link, making extensive
use of builtin supervision features:
continuous performance check and alarm status overview,
numerous baseband loopback facilities,
2.1.3.3 Equipment software features

2.2.1.1 Operation of the main IDU (InDoor Unit) (classic IDU version)
The Line Access Units (LAU) offer all the passive functions required to provide transmission and reception
G.703 interfaces for the tributaries and 2 Mbit/s auxiliary bit stream (when there is one). This mainly entails
impedance matching. Two types of board can be used:
LAU 3CC06059Axxx: eight ports for 2 Mbit/s tributaries (two boards of this type are used for the
16 x 2 Mbit/s configuration),
LAU 3CC06061Axxx: one port for 34 Mbit/s + one 2 Mbit/s auxiliary bit stream port.
The LIU (Line Interface Unit) boards provide all the active functions required for transmission and reception
mode G.703 interfacing of tributaries and the 2 Mbit/s auxiliary bit stream (mainly HDB3 HCMOS code
conversion). The LIU boards are daughter boards that plug into the MCU board. Three types of board can be
used:
LIU 3CC05818Axxx: four ports for 2 Mbit/s tributaries,
LIU 3CC06026Axxx: eight ports for 2 Mbit/s tributaries,
LIU 3CC06119Axxx: eight port extension unit, used in conjunction with the eight port LIU board,
3CC06026Axxx, for the 16 x 2 Mbit/s configuration,
LIU 3CC06118AAxx: one port for 34 Mbit/s + one 2 Mbit/s auxiliary bit stream port.
The Multiplexing and Control Unit (MCU) handles:

multiplexing/demultiplexing functions, to assemble the aggregate for transmission and restore the
tributaries from the received aggregate,
dropping/insertion of engineering service channels (up to 5) and the 2 Mbit/s auxiliary bit stream (when
there is one):
ESC N1: reserved for the supervision channel,
ESC N2: telephone channel with selective calling,
ESC N3: V.11 or V.28 64 kbit/s interface,
ESC N4 and N5: V.11 64 kbit/s interfaces (not available for the 2 x 2 Mbit/s rate),
connection of local supervision system, for connecting a supervision PC.
processing of external commands: telesignalling and remote controls (TS/TC),
control of the outdoor unit,
interfacing with the outdoor unit, for:
power feed to the ODU,
transmitting and receiving the aggregate,
transmitting and receiving ODU supervision function transmission and reception,
telephone ESC transmission and reception between the IDU and the ODU,
storage of events in batteryassured maintenance memory.
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) is available in two versions, 24 V or 48 V DC floating, for primary power supplies.
It provides DC/DC conversion to generate the necessary voltages required to operate the indoor unit and the
primary power supply voltage of the outdoor unit.
29/348
2.2.1.2 Operation of the Light IDU versions

The Light MCU (Light Multiplexing and Control Unit) handles:
all passive functions (mainly impedance matching) and active functions (mainly HDB3 CMOS code
conversion) needed for transmission and reception mode G.703 interfacing of the four tributaries,
multiplexing/demultiplexing functions, to create the aggregate to be transmitted and recreate the

tributaries from the received aggregate,
engineering service channel drop and insert functions:
ESC N1: reserved for the supervision channel,
ESC N3: V.11 or V.28 64 kbit/s interface,
connection of local supervision system, for connecting a supervision PC. To operate the LUX50
software, additional SIMM memory must be added (option sold by reference 9400UXB267).
processing of external controls: telesignalling and remote controls (TS/TC),
control of the Outdoor unit,
interfacing with the Outdoor unit for:
transmission and reception of the aggregate,
transmission and reception of ODU supervision channels,
ODU power feed.
For the Light IDU, the types of power supply available are:
19 Light IDU: 24 V DC or 48 V DC floating (This version is a low power consumption version,
allowing the operation of the Light IDU without fans).
2.2.1.3 IDU/ODU cable
A coaxial cable, only available in 50 ohm impedance version, with a maximum length of 300 meters (when of
standard type), connects the IDU to the ODU. This carries:
the digital data streams between the IDU and the ODU, comprising:
30/348
the aggregate obtained from tributary multiplexing,
the ODU control signals,
in the case of a classic IDU, the IDU/ODU telephone channel (connected to ESC N2).
the ODUs primary DC power supply voltage.
2.2.1.4 OutDoor Unit (ODU) operation

The reference of the outdoor unit depends on the frequency band.
The cable interface handles:
reception and transmission of the data streams,
separation of the signals and the power supply voltage to feed the units subsystems,
the interface for the aggregate for transmission or reception with the modem.
The Modem (modulator/demodulator) function receives the aggregate from the cable interface and processes
the baseband signal for microwave transmission by 4QAM or 16QAM modulation, as follows:
in transmission:
digital filtering and error correction coding (FEC),
digital/analogue conversion of bit streams I and Q from the encoding function;
in reception:
a part of the automatic gain control (AGC) function,
analogue/digital conversion of the I and Q bit streams from the demodulation function.
It interfaces with the IF unit for the transmission and reception of the I and Q bit streams.
The IF block handles modulation and demodulation of the aggregate, using the following functions:
in transmission:
analogue filtering of the I and Q bit streams (two filters that can be switched according to capacity),
4QAM or 16QAM modulation of an IF carrier, according to the frequency plan adopted, generated
by a local internal oscillator,
level amplification and tuning (AGC), based on measurement of the rms power output from the
block;
in reception:
amplification, with AGC, of the received signal, transposed via the reception system according to
the frequency plan adopted,
demodulation of the signal, so that the I and Q bit streams can be recovered,
amplification and analogue filtering of the bit streams (two filters that can be switched according
to capacity),
amplification, with AGC, before transmission of the I and Q bit streams to the Modem board.
The transmission mixer transposes the intermediate frequency to a microwave frequency. Frequency agility
is obtained by a synthesized local oscillator (LO).
The transmission RF signal is then transmitted to the power amplifier, monitored by an output power slaving
device and a circuit for cutting off carrier transmission if a fault is detected in the transmission circuits.
31/348
For the 11 GHz,13 GHz and the 23 to 38 GHz frequency bands, the transmitted power can be adjusted in 1 dB
steps by software configuration (software key option needed), within a range of:
20 dB from nominal output power for 11 and13 GHz (94xxUXR202 and 94xxUXR203),
30 dB from nominal output power for 15, 23, 25, 38 GHz (4QAM RTPC),
20 dB from nominal output power for 23, 25, 38 GHz (94xxUXR203 16QAM).
30 dB from nominal output power for all frequency bands of the ODU 9400UX flat ODU.
For the 11, 13, 15 and 18 GHz frequency bands (without RTPC option), attenuators can be inserted on the
transmission output (optional).
The reception RF signal from the branching filter is applied to the RF reception circuit, comprising a cascaded
RF low noise amplifier (except at 38 GHz), a mixer and an IF amplifier. The mixer, which receives the amplified
RF frequency, transposes the RF signal to a reception IF signal using the same LO as the transmission mixer.
When amplified, the signal is sent to the IF blocks reception circuits for demodulation.
The branching filter comprises a duplexed filter for separating the transmission and reception RF signals
present at the antenna port. It can accommodate the RF loopback (94xxUXR201, 94xxUXR202 and
94xxUXR203, and included into A9400UX flat ODU), which uses a conversion stage for converting transmission
and reception frequencies for test purposes.
The PSU receives the primary voltage from the IDU via the link cable and, from it, generates the voltages
required to operate the subsystems of the Outdoor unit.
2.2.1.5 ESC extension configuration
This extension, available only in the classic IDU version, can be used to customize ESC N3 and N4 and
5 as detailed in 2.3. It requires the presence of an extension IDU with a dedicated SCU (Service Channel Unit)
board.
2.2.2 Basic 1+1 configuration

This configuration is available only in the classic IDU version.
It comprises (Figure 8) a main IDU (identical to the one in the 1+0 configuration), an extension IDU and two
ODUs.
The extension unit contains a Service Channel Unit (SCU) which handles the following functions:
user interfaces for ESCs 3 to 5,
control of the second ODU,
interface with the second ODUs link cable.
The MCU of the main unit sends the aggregate to be transmitted to the SCU and receives the reception
aggregate from it. The MCU is responsible, in reception, for switching between the normal and standby
channels.
There are three configurations:
Hot Standby (HSB), one antenna port
Hot Standby, two antenna ports

2.2.2.1 HSB configuration with one antenna port
The two ODUs are connected by an HSB coupler which provides a 10 dB attenuation on the standby channel.
In addition, by design, the standby amplifiers power is:
reduced by 15 dB for the ODU which does not permit an output power control,
cut off for the ODU which permits the output power control.
The HSB switching of a transmitter is based on detection of a fault which can originate from a failure:
of the cable interface,
of the ODU power supply,
of the transmission IF synthesizer,
of the RF synthesizer,
of the amplifier.
The system switches back to the normal channel automatically as soon as it is disconnected and reconnected
again without alarm (because of imbalance in the system), in transmission and in reception.
Switching can also be remotely controlled, by manually switching to the standby channel. The remote control
for cutting off transmission power does not cause a switchover.
2.2.2.2 HSB configuration with two antenna ports
This configuration uses either a double polarization antenna or two antennas (in this case, it also adds space
diversity). One system sends (the standby transmitter is cut off). Operation is the same as in the previous
configuration, apart from the switching, in which reversibility is not required because the link budgets are
identical for both channels.
2.2.2.3 Frequency diversity configuration
The two ODUs send the aggregate simultaneously at two different frequencies. The MCU chooses the best of
the two signals on reception. This configuration also uses two antenna ports.
33/348
2.2.3 1+1 configuration with multiplexer/demultiplexer protection

This configuration is available only in the classic IDU version.
It can be used (see Figure 9) to protect the link from failures of the MCU board in the main IDU. It comprises:
a main IDU, as in the 1+0 configuration but whose tributaries are configured in high impedance.

Before setting up a loop, you must assign identical link identity codes for both
transmit and receive directions to avoid generating an alarm condition.
Equipment management
After installing and commissioning the equipment, the configuration parameters (bit rate, frequency, power, etc.)
are saved in the equipment.
The configuration is saved in two memories, one located in the IDU, the other in the ODU.
On power up, the microprocessor responsible for administering the equipment compares the content of the two
memories:
if the contents are identical, it loads their content into the various modules of the IDU and the ODU, and
switches the equipment to operational mode,
if the contents are different:

On the IDU, the three URG, NURG and ATT LEDs (see 2.7) on the front panel of the main
IDU flash simultaneously. The equipment waits for the IDU-ACO ODU button on the main IDU to
be pressed to select a configuration to download.
Note : A configuration is valid if one of the two IDU or ODU leds is lighted.
The default configuration is obtained by attempting to load the configuration of equipment that is not included
(for example, disconnect the ODU, power up the IDU and choose to download the ODU configuration when the
LEDs are flashing at the same time). You must then reload the entire equipment configuration from the CT.
Note : When the IDU and ODU leds are off, then the equipment starts automatically in default
configuration.

IDU controls, indications and connectors
The indoor units have a Connector panel and an Operation panel (Figure 18). The operation panel carries

3.4.2.2 Alcatel recommendations for IDU installation in 9U rack

The recommendations depend on IDU configurations (1+ 0, 1+1 basic or 1+1 mux protected )
1+1 mux protected configuration : each group of 2 or 3 IDU shall be separated by 1U.
1+0 or 1+1 basic configuration : each IDU shall be separated by 1U.
This configuration supposes that room temperature should not exceed +45C (and that the temperature at the
IDU level never exceeds 55C) .
These recommendations allow good installation conditions (place for cable interconnections) and good
operation conditions (cooling of the IDU).

Outdoor part installation
3.5.1 General information

3.5.1.1 Pole mounting
The mechanical assembly is supplied complete, mechanically assembled, with screw fastenings kit and ground
terminals included in a plastic bag inside the casting.
The standard mechanical system is mounted on a pipe with a diameter of:
90 to 114 mm for 300 mm diameter antennas,
114 mm for 600 mm diameter integrated antennas.

CAUTION:
If the pipe diameter is smaller than the one mentioned above, the fixing brackets of
the pole mounting must be replaced by the kit 9400UXI103 that improves the wind
resistance of the whole equipment. This kit is especially recommended for the
600 mm antennas on 76 to 90 mm tubes.
There are also supports for fixing the pole to the wall: please consult us.
Various antenna types and sizes can be used, together with radio systems operating at different frequencies
and in a variety of configurations.
CAUTION:
Take care not to damage the ORing on the nose of the antenna connection.
If the ODU is not to be mounted immediately after the pole mounting of the antenna,

3.6.3 IDU/ODU wiring

The link is provided by a single 50 ohm coaxial cable (for each IDU/ODU link). For protection against
interference and to ensure that it does not radiate interference (EMC requirements), the cable used is
double-shielded, 11 mm in diameter, with an outer PU sheathing (for UV protection) with a maximum length of
300 meters approved today under the reference 1AC001100022.
The outer sheathing of the cable is marked at approximately 60 cm intervals with the cable reference
1AC001100022. The cable is terminated by male, elbow N type connectors, ref: 9400UXI203. The connectors
are watertight, but, for added protection, when connected, preferably wind selfamalgamating tape supplied
with the consumables kit (optional) around the connector.
Instructions for fitting these connectors are given in Appendix 5.
The greatest possible attention should be paid to the wiring of the coaxial plugs and to compliance with the cable
installation rules, such as: minimum bending radius of 80 mm, watertightness, etc. If ordered by the customer,
a cable grounding kit may be supplied; this is for sites where radio frequency interference is high, for example:
radio stations, TV transmitters, etc. Kit ref: 9400UXI204 (see figure 33).
Instructions for the use of the cable earthing kit are supplied with the kit.
In a 1 + 1 configuration, the difference in length between IDU / ODU cables must not exceed 20 metres.

This is a general procedure valid for all NE types.
4.4.1 Requirements
4.4.1.1 NE hardware
The equipment must have been already physically installed, cabled and powered on, according to the
instructions given in the:
4.4.1.2 Craft Terminal
The Craft Terminal, already loaded with the SW to be downloaded toward the NE, must be available together
with the 9 pin/9 pin cable and F connector adapter cable for its connection to the equipment F interface.
4.4.1.3 Operator skills and profile
In addition to skills stated in para.4.1.1, the Operator must be familiar with all the equipment functionalities.
4.4.2 Summary of the SW installation phases

The installation phases are:
SW download to the NE (PC is connected to Equipment Controller), para.4.4.3 below
NE configuration, para. 4.5 below
4.4.3 SW download to the NE
With the suitable cable and F connector adapter cable, connect the PC to F interface of the MAIN unit
Activate ECT (1320CT x.x.x) and execute the Login to the NE (see para.4.3.3 on page 130).
Perform the SW download with the following Craft Terminal commands:
SW Download Server Access Configuration
SW Download Init SW download (selecting the NEversion to be downloaded)
then, after about 1/4 hours, SW Download SW status Apply Action to activate the
software.
The software download can be performed also by using the Ethernet interface of the PC. In this case the
download lasts only few minutes.
133/348
4.5
NE Configuration
Once the software is downloaded and activated on the NE, the NE resets in order to use the downloaded
software version. This reset breaks the connection with the CT. The operator must, therefore, log in to the NE
again (see para. 4.4.1 on page 123).
NE configuration in the case of first installation is processed through the quick configuration procedure. This
procedure is launched from the CT through the menu Configuration/Quick Configuration (see para. 4.16.5 on
page 168). Follow the instructions provided on the corresponding screen. At the end of this procedure, the NE
resets and should be up and running if properly configured.

Profile No Alarms. With this profile all alarms are disabled.
Profile Primary Alarms. This profile enables the emission of the primary alarms. General rules used
to define the alarms severity:
MAJOR: the alarm affects the service (it is service affecting);
MINOR or WARNING (according to the impact of the alarm): the alarm doesnt affects the service
(with the exception of High BER alarm, for which MINOR alarm severity is defined, even if it is
service affecting).
Profile No Remote Alarms. This profile enables the emission of the primary alarms plus Early
Warning and Low BER alarms. This profile uses the following rules to define the alarms severity:
MAJOR: the alarm affects the service (it is service affecting);
MINOR: the alarm is potentially service affecting but a protection has recovered the service;
WARNING: the alarm cannot affect the service (independent from any protection).
Profile All Alarms. This profile enables the emission of all the alarms (including AIS and RDI). This
profile uses the same severity as the Primary alarm profile, the only difference is that Early Warning,
Low BER, AIS and RDI alarms are emitted.
The rules used to define the alarm severity are the same as for the Primary alarm profile.
In case of alarms affecting a protection, different severities are used for SA and NSA. The same severity is used
both for SA and NSA in case of service independent alarms.
The rules used to define the profile alarms severity described above, are not applied to the housekeeping
alarms. In this case, in order to enhance the flexibility, a different severity is assigned to each alarm profile (WAR,
MIN and MAJ).

RF Loopback Support: with some ODU models RF loopback unit is optional. In this case, this
field allows you to indicate if RF loopback is preset or not. In case of ODUs for which RF loopback
unit is not, this field is automatically set to the appropriate value.
WARNING: In the case of a 1 + 1 configuration, only one kind of ODU can be configured for
both channels.
163/348
Step 2
The screen shown below provides the fields to set the Structure of the Frame configuration (Capacity and
Modulation).
The capacity implies the choice of modulation; for example, if the tributary structure is 2E1 only 4QAM
modulation scheme is supported.
The association between Capacity and Modulation is shown on page 157.
Figure 89 Quick Installation Procedure: Frame Configuration (Step 2)

In the screen displayed above (and in the following Steps), the Back button is enabled also. It allows the
operator to turn back and change the parameters configured in the previous screen.
To go to the next step click on button Next.
To go back to the previous step click on button Back.
164/348
Step 3
Step 3 allows the operator to choose, for each tributary configured, the signal mode status. Possible values
are Unframed and Disabled.
Figure 90 Quick Installation Procedure: Tributaries Configuration (Step 3)

By clicking on one of the facility buttons (All Unframed or All Disabled), the operator can configure all the
tributaries at once; otherwise he can configure each tributary separtely by selecting the related value from the
relevant scroll list.
165/348
Step 4 (1 + 1 Configurations Only)
Figure 91 Quick Installation Procedure: Restoration Criteria (Step 4)

Step 4 shows the operator the restoration criteria (revertive or not revertive) for the 3 possible protections
available in the 1+1 configurations:
Radio protection
Mux/Demux protection
HSB Tx protection
The restoration criteria values depend upon the selected configuration type in step 1 (1 + 1 HSB, 1 + 1 FDMP,
etc.). These values cannot be modified by the operator.
For radio protection restoration criteria values, see 4.14.2.
166/348
Step 5
Step 5 allows the operator to define the basic parameters for each configured channel. The related screen is
shown below:
Figure 92 Quick Configuration Procedure: Channels Configuration (Step 5)
The Channel Configuration screen allows you to configure the Tx power and Frequencies of the ODU(s).
Depending on the choices made in Step 1 (configuration type, duplexer type), some values could be read only.
If the configuration type is 1 + 0, only one channel needs to be configured. In 1 + 1 configurations both
channels (1 and 0) need to be configured.
If the configuration type is 1 + 1 HSB, Tx frequency for channel 0 is automatically set according to Tx
frequency for channel 1, while Tx Power can be set independently on both channels.
If the configuration type is 1 + 1 FD, Tx Frequency has to be configured on both channels, while Tx
Power on channel 0 is synchronized with Tx Power on channel 1.
If the configured duplexer type is Other Duplexer, the Rx frequency value can be configured
independently of the Tx Frequency. In all other cases, the Rx Frequency value is deduced automatically
from the Tx Frequency and duplexer shift.
If the configured IDU Main Unit is not IDU Light 4x2 Mbps, and if the configured ODU is ODU UX Flat,
the ATPC mode can be enabled or disabled (otherwise ATPC is forced to disabled, due to the fact that
it is not supported).

167/348
Step 6
Step 6 performs the network configuration. This window allows the operator to configure the NE IP address.
Figure 93 Quick Configuration Procedure: Local IP Address (Step 6)

For an advanced network configuration the operator must select the Advanced Configuration flag.
If the flag has been selected, the screens in the next steps allow the operator to perform a complete configuration
of all the Network parameters.
168/348
Step 7 (Advanced Configuration Only)

Step 7 allows you to configure the OSPF Area.
Figure 94 Quick Configuration Procedure: OSPF Area Configuration (Step 7)

If the OSPF area must be a stub area, make the selection in the Stub Area check box.
LUX50 supports one single OSPF area. This area cannot be a backbone area (e.g., area 0.0.0.0 is not
authorized).
Enter the OSPF area number in the IP address field.
Enter the OSPF range mask in the Range Mask field.
IMPORTANT: All NEs belonging to the same OSPF area must have the exact same range mask value.
169/348

The following windows for Network Configuration allow complete IP configuration.
Step 8 lets you configure static routes.
Figure 95 Quick Configuration Procedure: IP Static Routes Configuration (Step 8)

LUX50 NEs can have up to 10 static IP routes defined.
Each static route can be either a route to a host or a route to a gateway.
If Host Address is selected, the following parameters have to be configured:
Host IP address
IP Mask (if Network address is slected).
If Gateway Address is selected, the following parameters have to be configured:

Default gateway IP address
If PPP Id is selected, the PPP interface used for this route has to be defined among the NEs three
PPP interfaces (NMS RF, NMS V11#1, NMS V11#2).

170/348

Step 9 allows the configuration of the NMSRF channel:
Figure 96 Quick Configuration Procedure: NMSRF Interface Configuration (Step 9)

The NMSRF interface is a communication interface based on the use of an inframe RF proprietary 64 kbit/s
channel. Through the NMSRF interface the NE can exchange management messages with a remote OS (or
Craft Terminal) station.
The NMSRF channel can be Enabled or Disabled by selection in the NMS RF field.
In the Routing IP Protocol field, indicate whether or not OSPF is used.
171/348

Step 10 allows the configuration of the NMS1V11 interface:
Figure 97 Quick Configuration Procedure: NMS1V11 Interface Configuration (Step 10)

Through the NMS1V11 interface the NE can exchange management messages with an OS (or Craft
Terminal) in the same station.
The NMS1V11 channel can be Enabled or Disabled by selection in the NMS1 V11 field.
In the Routing IP Protocol field indicate whether or not OSPF is used.
In the PPP_MODE field the following selections can be made:
DTE Mode:

Signal Mode: the type of frame (Unframed/Disabled)
To change the Signal Mode, select the tributary and change the Signal Mode field in the Resource Detail Area.
184/348
4.10.1.1 Alarm
The fault management checks the current state of alarms related to the selected tributary.
It is provided by the alarm panel like the one explained in para. 4.9.1.5.
The window shown below gives you access to all available functions for a tributary port.
The managed tributary types are E1 and E3.
To define the involved ports, the channel must be selected in the tree view. Consequently, the selection of the
desired tributary port in the tabular view allows the Resource Detail List to show the available functions for the
individual resource.
Figure 111 Tributary Configuration Panel

The information related to a PDH frame is shown above, where the fields are read only:
Interface Type (E1,E3 etc.)
Port Number: the port for a given channel and type of port

The possible values are:
Unframed
Disabled
The current state can be modified by selecting a different signal mode value and then clicking on the Apply
button to send the new value to the NE.
Alarm Profile
The Alarm Profile field lets you associate a particular Alarm Profile with the tributary alarms: a default alarm
profile or an Alarm Profile previously created by the operator (refer to para. 4.8.3.1). To associate a different
Alarm Profile, click on the selection button and select from among the available profiles.
The default associated Alarm Profile is the No Alarm profile.
185/348
4.10.1.3 Test
The Test tab allows you to perform certain tests on the selected tributary by inserting a pseudo random binary
sequence (PRBS) into this tributary at the transmission side and by measuring the Bit Error Rate on its reception
side.
Figure 112 Tributary Test Panel

PRBS insertion and corresponding BER measure can be started/stopped using the Start/Stop button.
The inserted PRBS sequence of (215 1) is inverted.
When PRBS insertion is activated, an abnormal condition is raised on the tributary in order to remind the
operator that the NE is currently not working in normal condition. This abnormal condition disappears when the
PRBS insertion is stopped.
The measures reported on BER measure are the Current BER measure value on the selected tributary, along
with Min and Max BER measure values received since the beginning of the measurement.
NOTE 1: PRBS can only be inserted on one tributary at a time. Therefore, make sure that PRBS is not currently
inserted on another tributary (this can be done easily by checking abnormal condition list) before trying to insert
it on a new tributary.
NOTE 2: Using the Start/Stop button for PRBS insertion in BER measure starts or stops both together,
however, they can be used independantly of each other.
186/348
4.10.2 NMS Interfaces

Line Interface view also allows management of alarms related to the 3 NMS interfaces:
Figure 113 NMS Interface Alarms

radio frequency (expressed in kHz).
In most cases it is automatically changed as a consequence of the definition of the Tx frequency according to
the Frequency Shifter.
If the configured duplexer is Other Duplexer, Rx frequency can be configured independently from the Tx
frequency.
190/348
4.11.4 RTPC & ATPC

The RTPC & ATPC menu lets you read and, if necessary, set the Tx power parameters.
The shown information is related to the channel selected in the Resource Tabular View.
Figure 116 RTPC & ATPC

4.11.4.1 ATPC
Depending on the configured IDU and ODU (ATPC is supported with IDU main classic and ODU UXFlat only),
ATPC can be Enabled or Disabled.
When ATPC is enabled, the ATPC Max Value parameter in ATPC Range area, and the Low Power
parameter in ATPC Rx Threshold area need to be configured in order for ATPC regulation loop to work
properly.
ATPC Max Value parameter allows to define the maximum Tx power level at which the NE is
authorized to transmit. The ATPC mean value is readonly and is set to the minimum RTPC level.
ATPC Rx Threshold parameter defines the Rx power level below which the ATPC regulation loop
will start increasing the transmission power level in order to compensate for the low Rx power level.
On the other hand, the ATPC regulation loop will start decreasing the transmission power level when
the measured Rx power level goes above (ATPC Rx Threshold + 4 dB).
4.11.4.2 Tx Nominal Power

The Nominal Power field in the RTPC area is a readonly field and shows the nominal value of the
transmitted power (expressed in dBm).
191/348
4.11.4.3 Tx Current Power

The Tx Power field in the RTPC area shows the current value of Tx power (expressed in dBm), when the
ODU supports RTPC and ATPC is disabled, it is possible to modify this value by entering the new value and
by pressing the related Apply button.
The new value must be within the allowed transmitted power range. This range is shown in the Power Value
label of RTPC area.

SUPERVISION
4.13.1 Access state (allow or inhibit NE Craft access)

The NE can be managed by the OS or by the Craft Terminal. To control the access conflicts of the OS and the
CT, a Local Access Control (LAC) is available.
If the LAC is access denied, it means that the OS manages the NE and the CT is not allowed to modify the
NE configuration (it can only read). In the view, the icon with a key symbol has a circular shape.
If the LAC is granted, it means that the CT is allowed to manage the NE. In the view, the icon with a key symbol
has a rectangular shape.
If the LAC is requested, it means that the CT has requested a permission from the OS and is waiting for a reply.
However, the OS does continue to provide a certain number of services. These services include:
Alarm reception and processing,
Performance processing,
Switching back to the OS access state.
The access state of an NE can be modified from two types of views:
4.13.1.1 Switching from the OS to the Craft Terminal access state

Select the Supervision pull down menu. Then select the Requested option from the Access State cascading
menu as shown in the following figure:
Figure 126 Craft access state configuration from the Equipment NE view in OS mode
The request is sent up to the OS which accepts or refuses it.
If the OS doesnt answer in a predefined time, it is assumed that the NE is in the Craft access state and can be
managed by a Craft Terminal.
200/348
4.13.1.2 Switching from the Craft Terminal access state back to the OS access state
Select the Supervision pull down menu. Then from the Access State cascading menu, select the OS option.
From the confirmation dialog box that opens, you can confirm or cancel the OS access operation.
The NE is now managed by the OS.
The key symbol icon on the management states of the NE view indicates whether the NE is managed by a craft
terminal or by the OS.
Local Craft Terminal access is denied on recovery phase after a loss of communication of the NE. When the
communication with the NE is lost, the OS automatically recovers the communication and forces the state
existing before the loss of communication (therefore, Craft Terminal access can be denied or granted).
4.13.2 Restart NE
The RESTART operation is a software reset and can be executed in normal traffic conditions.
From the Supervision cascading menu, select the Restart NE option.

The HSB protection is implemented in the ODU: one Transmitter is connected to the antenna (active),
the other transmitter is in standby.
The Criteria column provides information related to the event that triggered the last switch from the
corresponding channel. This is not an alarm. For instance, after startup this criteria may be set, iin
some cases, to Equipment Failure even if no such event actually happened.
4.14.1 Mux/Demux Protection Management

This protection is available for the 1 + 1 HSBMP, 1 + 1 HSBSDMP, and 1 + 1 FDMP configurations.
The Equipment Protection Management is performed by selecting MuxDemux Protection tree element.
The following windows permit a complete view of all NE resources involved in the EPS protection:

205/348
Figure 133 Mux/Demux Protection Switch (Main #1)
Using the Craft Terminal, you can modify the state of the switch with the Lockout, Forced and Manual
commands.
Lockout has higher priority than Forced: the activation forces Channel 1 into service independently of the
possible active alarms. This command activates signaling AC (Abnormal Condition).
Forced has higher priority than the automatic operation: the activation of this command forces in service
Channel 0, independently of the possible active alarms. This command activates signaling AC.
Automatic Switch is the normal operation condition: the position of the switch depends on the commands
generated by the logic.
Manual has the lowest priority: it is performed only if there are no alarms that can activate an automatic switch.
It cannot be performed if Lockout or Forced commands are already activated. If this command is active, it will
be removed by an incoming alarm. This command does not activate signaling AC.

Two kinds of thresholds can trigger the early switching request: received power level or error ratio.
Early Warning alarm. Early Switching Request (ESR):
Early warning on Rx Power Level: Defines the absolute received power level at which the Early
Warning alarm is triggered.
Early warning on BER: Defines the BER threshold at which the Early Warning alarm is triggered.
Low Bit Error Ratio. Switching Request (SR):
Defines the BER threshold at which the low Bit Error Ratio switching request alarm is triggered.
High Bit Error Ratio. Priority Switching Request (PSR):

PERFORMANCE MONITORING
4.17
This chapter describes the functions to provide Performance Monitoring (PM) management. It explains the
procedures that the operator must perform in order to activate a PM process.
CAUTION:
With the analog cable interface, the G.826 counters are not correctly evaluated.
4.17.1 General information on the performance monitoring process

The performance monitoring (PM) gives indication on the quality of the service.
Quality of service PM is performed in accordance with G.826 and G.784.
It is assumed that the quality of the single tributary (E1, E3) can be derived from the quality of the aggregate
signal, therefore no dedicated quality of service PM is foreseen on the single tributaries.
Considering one section (see below), one current register is for 15 min and one for 24 h; 96 history registers
are available for 15 min and 8 for 24 h.
The radio section monitored is:

5.2.2 Powering up the IDU

NOTE: Since the IDUODU cable connection has NOT been established powering up the IDU, the ODU
will not be operating. Therefore, the IDU will display the relative alarms.
Power up the IDU(s) (via switch on the connector panel):
The green LED should come on.
Connect the PC to the equipment using the interface cable and F adapter cable supplied (serial port
connector marked F on the IDU
).
Wait for the ATT, URG and NURG LEDs to start flashing out of sync on the main IDU. The LED flashing
occurs if IDU and ODU have never been configured together (otherwise, refer to 4). Download the
IDU configuration, by pushing switch to the IDU setting (IDU configuration taken as a reference).
After two minutes at most (for the configuration to be registered), the LEDs should stop flashing
simultaneously.
5.2.3 Configuring the IDU
Run LUX50 1320 CT software on the PC. Once connected to the IDU, the IDU configuration can be
done by running the Quick Configuration procedure (refer to section 4.8.5 on page 160).

the service kit 3EG04113.
Be sure that the three screws and the four screws are a bit slackened, just enough to allow
movement of the different parts of the pole mounting. These screws must not be too much slackened,
otherwise, the finetuning of alignment will be imperfect. Use the 8 mm Allen key.
With the two turnbuckles and the 16 mm flat wrench, fine tune the elevation and azimuthal settings until
you obtain the maximum voltage reading in the voltmeter.
Tighten the three screws and the four screws
with torque 3 mdaN.
Note: Fine pointing of the antenna is described in 5.3.2.
5.3.4 Checking out operation
Using the local loop configurations (apart from the RF loop), repeat the operations carried out on station
A (see 5.2).
From the CT, run the Power Measures application (Radio tab, then the Power Meas tab).
Check that the received power level is greater than 90 dBm. This check must be carried out on the
normal channel and, if appropriate, the standby channel.
If the received power is less than this value, the reason is probably an antenna coarse pointing problem
or a transmission problem in station A.
Connect the tributary, supervision and ESC cables previously disconnected.
If an operator is available in another station of the network and there is a telephone in station B, test
the telephone ESC (general call using number 00).
Test the ESC 3, ESC 4 and ESC 5 connections, if applicable, and if the corresponding equipment is
installed in the station.

5.4
Commissioning the link from station A (phase 2)
5.4.1 Pointing the antenna
Adjust the orientation of the antenna in the same way as for station B (see 5.3.2).
5.4.2 Checking the radio transmission parameters
Connect the CT to station A and check that there is no remaining equipment alarm (EQP alarm
synthesis indicator should be green).
Check that there is no remaining transmission alarm (TRS alarm synthesis indicator should be green).
If some transmission alarms remain, use the Radio and Line Interface tabs to investigate the cause
of the alarms and, if necessary, correct it.
Select Radio tab and then Power Meas tab in order to retrieve the received power level value. Write
down this value. This operation has to be performed on both radio channels (Channel#1 or
Channel#0 in the Radio Channels tree).
Connect the CT to station B and repeat the same operations.
The received power levels should match the nominal received power indicated on the station configuration sheet
to within $6 dB. If the difference is greater:
Check that there are no abnormal propagation conditions (storm or heavy rainfall, for example).
In the case of a 1+1 HSB configuration with integrated coupler, use the Protection Schemes tab
on each station to check that the standby channel is not being used for reception and/or
transmission.
Check the pointing of the antennas (if necessary, pointing to a secondary lobe).
If the problem persists, contact the network administrator or Alcatel customer service.
If some transmission alarms remain (TRS alarm synthesis indicator), proceed as follows for the stations with
an alarm condition:
Connect the CT to the station.
Follow corrective maintenance operations as described in 6.2.3.
In case of configuration errors (tributaries incorrectly set to Unframed or Disabled, for example), use
the Line Interface and Radio tabs to make the necessary changes.
Be careful not to disconnect the link by setting the parameters incorrectly!
5.4.3 Remote tributary loop

A remote loop on an active tributary is needed for the checks described in 5.4.4 and 5.4.5.
Select the Loopback tab from CT connected to station B.
Set up the remote loop configuration as follows:

6 Operation, servicing and maintenance

6.1
Preventive maintenance
This kind of maintenance is performed when carrying out a corrective maintenance procedure, or on a routine
visit to all the equipment of the station. It involves inspecting the units and their interconnections (connectors,
cables, sockets, etc), as well as all the equipment involved in the operation of the station (power supply,
batteries, solar panels, earthing, etc) and, in case of doubt, checking the suspect parts, taking all the necessary
precautions to avoid disrupting data transmission over the link (using the 1+1 switching capability if available,
etc). Preventive maintenance is recommended for the following units:
MCU board battery:
every 7 to 10 years (see 7.15.1).
Fan unit:
every 2 to 3 years or in case of alarm.

The system uses 2 fans. An alarm occurs when one fan fails. Both fans should be changed at the
same time (see 7.15.2).
If a main IDU 3CC0897xxxxB and an extension 3CC08920xxxB are used in accordance with chapter 3.4.2.2
recommendations (1U separation) this preventive maintenance could be forgotten.
6.2
Corrective maintenance
6.2.1 Methodology
Check the condition of the cables, connectors and connections, and of all the components that are
involved in the operation at the station (power supply, battery, earthing, etc),
Analyze the IDU alarm indicators,
If alarms are indicated, locate them using the Craft Terminal alarm indicators and analyze them and
carry out the necessary corrective procedures (change of unit, module, cable, etc).
6.2.2 Analyzing IDU alarm indicators

The alarm indicators on the IDUs provide an indication of the network elements that are affected by alarms:
Besides the information given below (classic IDU and Light IDU indications), the URG, NURG and ATT LEDs
can flash in a particular way to indicate equipment status information, as explained below:
URG, NURG and ATT LEDs flashing in sequence: change of configuration or software startup phase
(lasts about two minutes),
URG, NURG and ATT LEDs flashing simultaneously: the configurations of the IDU and ODU do not
match. The equipment is waiting for the operator to operate the IDU/ODU-ACO switch.

6.2.3 Corrective Servicing

In a 1+1 configuration with a Mux/Demux protection, it is the spare Mux/Demux that is
chosen by default at the start even if an alarm is present on this equipment. Then, you
must force the main Mux/Demux with the remote control, change the spare unit and go
back to automatic mode with the remote control.
With the analog cable interface, the G.826 counters are not correctly evaluated.
6.3
Changing IDU
6.3.1 Replacing like for like a Light or classic IDU (1+0 or basic 1+1)
Power down the Light IDU / main IDU. Disconnect it from the power source.
Disconnect all the cables connected to the unit you are changing (remember to remove the software
key).
Change the Light IDU / main IDU after checking that the characteristics match (number of inputs,
impedance, etc). The impedances of the IDU can be reconfigured in any case (see 7.2.2) and
configuration is not needed with IDU which reference ends with the C letter (3CC......C) provided cables
referenced by Alcatel are used.
Reconnect all the cables to the unit and the software key.
Power up the IDU.
Wait for the URG, NUR and ATT LEDs to start flashing simultaneously.
Configure the IDU from the ODU by setting the IDU/ODU switch to the ACO/ODU position. Wait about
two minutes for the terminal to be reconfigured. The alarm LEDs should go off and the equipment LEDs
should turn green.
Check that there are no alarms in the LUX50 1320CT software application.
Update the stations installation form (see model in Appendix 2).
In the event of an error, particularly if the pushbutton is set to the wrong side, re-enter all of the station
configuration (see section 5, Commissioning).
Note: In the case of a basic 1+1 configuration, power down the extension IDU.
6.3.2 Replacing a Light IDU with a classic IDU (1+0 only) and vice versa
254/348
The procedure for changing the equipment is the same as for like for like replacement, but, in some cases, the
ODU configuration may not be taken into account. Connect the 1320CT to the IDU. Run the
Configuration/Quick Config procedure in order to change the NE configuration from 1 + 0 to 1 + 0L or vice
versa.
6.3.3 Replacing like for like a main IDU with MUX protection
Force operation using the protection command Forced on Channel #1 for Mux/Demux protection,
and switchover to the multiplexer/demultiplexer on the extension IDUs SCU board.
Force transmission and reception to the standby ODU.
Power down the main IDU. Disconnect from the power source.
Disconnect all the cables connected to the unit you are changing (remember to remove the software
key from the main IDU). For IDU configured with a MUX protection without Access IDU, only disconnect
the part of the cables connected directly to the IDU.
Change the main IDU after checking that the specifications are the same (number of inputs, impedance,
etc).
Reconnect all the cables to the unit starting with the lower MAIN/EXT cable (60pin connector) taking
care not to damage the contacts and also the software key from the removed unit.
Power up the main IDU.
Wait for the URG, NUR and ATT LEDs to start flashing simultaneously.
Send the ODUs configuration to the IDU by pushing immediately on the IDU/ODU switch to the
ACO/ODU position (the lower green LED must be lighted).
Warning: An error of handling at this moment, will result in a connection break with a
loss of traffic.
The flashing of the leds is limited to 1 minute. The switch has to be activated as soon as the
led starts flashing otherwise the IDU sends its configuration to the ODUs and breaks the
connection.
The alarm leds should turn off and the 2 green leds should light on the main IDU (this stage can take
around one minute according to the ODU type).
Check that there are no alarms in the LUX50 1320CT software, otherwise cut off forcing on the receiver
of the spare ODU.
In the event of an error, particularly if the pushbutton is set to the wrong side, re-enter all of the station
configuration (see section 5, Commissioning).
6.3.4 Replacing like for like an extension IDU
Check that the transmit and receive multiplexers are switched to the main channel.
Power down the extension IDU and disconnect it from the power source.
Disconnect all the cables connected to the unit you are changing.
Change the unit after checking that the specifications are all the same (number of inputs, impedance,
etc).
Reconnect all the cables to the unit.
Power up the unit.
Check that the alarm LEDs are off.
Check that there are no alarms in the LUX50 1320CT software.
255/348
6.3.5 Note on IDU compatibility

It is possible for the two IDUs to have different but compatible configurations for use in the station. In such cases,
you must alter the stations configuration parameters through the LUX50 CT software.
256/348
6.4
Changing ODU
Only in the case of a 1+0 configuration.
If you are replacing a ODU UX 23 MHz/1008 MHz with a A9400 UX Flat ODU, make sure
that the new ODU is compatible with the operating frequency.
Switchoff the IDU connected to the ODU to be changed.
Disconnect the IDUODU cable.
Change the ODU after checking that the characteristics of the two ODUs are the same.
Reconnect the IDUODU cable.
Switchon the IDU.
In the case of a standby ODU, wait two minutes. The reconfiguration takes place automatically.
For a main ODU, wait for the URG, NUR and ATT LEDs to start flashing simultaneously. Configure the
ODU from the IDU by pushing the IDU/ODU switch to the IDU position. Wait about two minutes for
the terminal to be reconfigured. The alarm LED should go off and the equipment LEDs should turn
green.
In the event of an error, particularly if the pushbutton is set to the wrong side, re-enter all the station
configurations (see section 5, Commissioning).
If you are replacing an 16 QAM UX ODU or an 13 or 15 GHz ODU with RTPC by a A9400UX flat ODU,
you must systematically upgrade the software feature key.
257/348
258/348
7 Changing configurations
Changes to the transmission network may entail upgrading the equipment configurations to satisfy new
requirements. The 9400 UX system is designed to support these changes simply by modifying the software
configuration, or by physically modifying the equipment and its configuration.
Before any change of configuration, disable all remote controls.
For any work on the boards (dismantling/reassembly, change of configuration), the
operator must wear a grounded wrist strap (for example, the 3M Disposable Wrist
Strap, reference 2209).THESE OPERATIONS MUST BE CARRIED OUT ONLY BY
TECHNICIANS, AUTHORIZED BY ALCATEL.
Update the reference documents and the labels in accordance with the new
configuration.
Some of these operations may entail opening the IDU to change the hardware configuration ( 7.6 ). These
changes may lead to:

7.1
Changing frequency
7.1.1 Changing frequency within the same sub-band
A change of frequency within the same sub-band does not entail moving to each station of the link. The change
of frequency on remote station (B) can be applied from local station (A) using the local supervision function, or
from the general supervision terminal.
The frequency of the remote station must always be modified before that of the local
station.
Update the information sheet needed to install the station (Appendix 2).
Open the CT on station B.
Select the Radio tab, then the Frequency tab.
For each channel, modify the transmit and receive frequencies (if authorized) and click on Apply
Check that the duplex separation between the transmit and receive frequencies is correct.
Open the CT on station A
Select the Radio tab, then the Frequency tab.
For each channel, modify the transmit and receive frequencies (if authorized) and click on Apply.
Check that the duplex separation between the transmit and receive frequencies is correct.
Download the new configuration.
Close the application.
7.1.2 Changing frequency within another sub-band or a different band
Changing frequency in a different sub-band entails changing the ODU (one or two units according to the
configuration).
Changing frequency in another frequency band also entails changing the antennas and, if necessary, the HSB
coupler.
This means that, in both cases, changing the frequency entails going to each station. The configuration is
changed locally in each station by software.
The following procedures must be carried out on each station:
Power down the IDUs.
Adjust the outdoor part according to the new configuration (exchanging ODUs and, if necessary,
antennas and the HSB coupler), referring to section 3, Installation.
Repeat the commissioning procedures as described in section 5, in particular:
If there is a change of frequency band, make sure the correct ODU and duplexer are selected.
In all cases, adjust the Tx and Rx frequencies according to the new frequency band.
In a 1+1 HSB configuration, check that the transmit and receive frequencies of the two channels are
the same.
Check that there are no alarms.
261/348
7.2
Changing tributaries
7.2.1 Enabling inactive tributaries
From the CT, select the Line Interface tab.
Activate the required tributaries by changing their signal mode from Disabled to Unframed.

The tributaries ports are compatible with the G703 ITUT standard.
For the n x 2 Mbits tributaries type, the impedance can vary from 75 to 120 and reciprocally only by
configuration.
These different configurations can be carried out by:
configuration modification of the L.A.U. boards alone
connection of the cable 75 referenced 3CC07885ADAA for the 4 x 2 Mbits with 1.6 / 5.6 connectors
or referenced 3CC07885AEAA for the 8 x 2 Mbits with 1.6 / 5.6 connectors or 3CC07759ADAA for the
4 x 2 Mbits with BNC connectors or 3CC07759AEAA for the 8 x 2 Mbits with BNC connectors whereas

GENERAL PRINCIPLE
In 1+0 or 1+1 configuration, the impedance modifications from 120 75 are made on the L.A.U. boards.
In 1+1 configuration with the multiplexer protection, the main IDU and the extension IDU are positioned in high
impedance and it is the IDU port that is configured in 75 or 120 .
In 34 Mbits (with only the IDU
indicated in chapter 7.2.2.4.
), the impedance modifications are made on the 3CC06061AAxx board as
In n X 2 Mbits/s with IDU , to modify the impedance from 120 75 or to get high impedance (HZ) the straps
have to be positioned on the 3CC06059AAxx or 3CC06058AAxx as indicated in chapter 7.2.2.4.
In n X 2 Mbits/s with IDU , the impedance modifications are made automatically when connecting the cables
in 1+0 or in 1+1 provided that the codified Alcatel cables are used or that the cabling is respected as defined
in Appendix 6.1.1.1. It is only when using the 3CC06059ACxx or 3CC06058ABxx board has to be configured
as indicated in chapter 7.2.2.4.
If the IDU is used, it is strongly recommended to change or to remain in automatic
position and it is only when using the cable that it is mandatory to change in
manual configuration.
7.2.2.3 Method
Power down the main IDU and, if necessary, the extension IDU. Disconnect them from the power
source.
Disconnect the tributary ports and engineering service channels between IDUs.
Open the IDUs concerned ( 7.6).
Set the strap on the LAU board or boards to the 75 ohms, 120 ohms or protection setting as required.
Close the units.
Reconnect the connectors of the tributaries and service channels to the IDUs.
Connect the IDUs to the power source. Power them up again.

Each switch module has ten switches, as shown below.
Switches 5 to 10 are for choosing the 75 or 120 ohms impedance for the
channel concerned.
Switches 2, 3, 4 are for choosing the type of ground in 75 ohms
configuration.
The combination of settings of switches 1 on S104 and S105 can be used
to identify the type of engineering practice containing the SCU board: switch

7.2.4 Changing bit rate by software
In the classic IDU version, choose, from the list of available bit rates, another bit rate offered by the software
feature keyLAU and LIU board combination (for example, change from a 4x2 Mbit/s configuration to an 8x2
Mbit/s configuration).
In the Light IDU versions, you can change from a 2x2 Mbit/s configuration to a 4x2 Mbit/s configuration (or vice
versa).
271/348
This operation can be performed only if the number of tributaries used is less than the number of tributaries
available on the equipment. If this condition is satisfied, you must also have a software feature key that
is compatible with the new bit rate. If not, you must first change the key as described previously in 7.3.
The bit rate of the remote station must always be modified before that of the local station.
Connect the CT to the station and select menu Configuration/System Settings.
Select the new value for Capacity, then click on Apply.
Close the System/Settings window.
Activate the new tributaries, if necessary, as described in 7.2.
7.2.5 Changing bit rate by changing an LAU and LIU tributary boards
These operations concern only classic IDUs.
7.2.5.1 Procedure
The case in which a change of bit rate does not involve changing the LAU and LIU boards is described in 7.2.
The table below summarizes the procedures according to the various changes of configuration.

7.2.5.2 Method
Update the information sheet need to install the station (Appendix 2).
If the new configuration requires a change of key, change it first (see 7.3).
Power down the IDUs, disconnect them from the power source and disconnect the tributary, service
channel and inter-unit cables.
Open the IDUs ( 7.6).
Disconnect the plug linking the power supply to the front panel.
On the front panel, using a 5 mm flat wrench, remove the spacers securing the LAU boards to be
replaced.
Raise and remove the LIU board (held on the lower circuit by two plugs).
Remove the LAU board (and for the 34 Mbit/s tributary, disconnect the two subclick plugs).
Remove the LAU board and the corresponding LIU board (linked by ribbon cable).
For changing from 16 x 2 Mbit/s to 34 Mbit/s, similarly remove the second LAU/LIU board level.
Install the new LAU and LIU boards after checking the impedance configurations.
For the 34 Mbit/s version, fit the small daughter board supporting the 1.6/5.6 connectors
(3CC07830AAxx), in place of the top I/O connector (9/16) or ACCESS connector (9/16), fit the daughter
board at the back of the connector panel and secure it by screwing the spacers to the outside of the
connector panel.
For the 34 Mbit/s version, remember to connect the two subclick plugs to the LAU board.
Close the IDUs again.
Reconnect the tributary, service channel, inter unit and power supply cables.
Power up the IDU.
Repeat the commissioning operations described in section 5, in particular, make sure the following
parameters are updated:

Changing software feature key
Not applicable in the Light IDU versions.

When changing configuration (1+0, 1+1, etc) and bit rate, you may need to change the feature key if it does not
offer the requisite functionality. The procedure for changing the key is as follows:
7.4
Connect the CT to the IDU and make sure that the Equipment tab is selected (this is the default).
Remove the software feature key from the main IDU and check that the alarm Replaceable Unit
Missing appears on IDU/MAIN/SKU.
Fit the new key.
Wait for the software feature key alarm to disappear. The alarm will not disappear if the characteristics
of the key are incompatible with the configuration.
Changing a NEs IP Address and/or OSPF Area
7.4.1 From the station configured as a network element
With the CT connected to the NE, select the Configuration/Quick Configuration menu.
Navigate through the quick configuration steps and update the IP address and OSPF parameters.
Procdeed through the end the Quick Configuration and click Finish.
Close the CT.
Wait (about two minutes) for the NE to reset its management processor in order to apply the new IP
address to the NE.
Notify the network supervisor of the change of the NEs IP address.
275/348
7.5
Upgrading software (from 946LUXn to 946LUXn+1)

On any change of onboard software in the equipment, consider updating the
installation form in Appendix 2 and, if necessary, notify Alcatel customer service.
7.5.1 Installing 946LUX50 1320CT
If not already done, install the 1320CT Craft Terminal software on the PC to be used as LUX50 Craft
Terminal, as described in section 4.1.
7.5.2 Upgrading from 946LUX12 to 946LUX50

946LUX50 software requires the main IDUs MCU board to be fitted with an 8 Mbytes flash memory and 4
Mbytes of RAM (see 7.14).
If the LUX12 IDU to be upgraded to LUX50 does not comply with these requirements, IDU upgrade procedure
described in either 7.5.2.1 or 7.5.2.2 must be executed. Otherwise, procedure described in 7.5.2.3 can
be used instead.
For any of the above cases, procedure described in 7.5.2.4 needs to be executed afterwards in order to have
the NE networking parameters configured.
7.5.2.1 Replacing main IDU
Replace the LUX12 main IDU with a LUX50 main IDU, following the procedure described in 6.2. At
the end of the operation, the LUX12 configuration coming from ODU is automatically converted to
LUX50 format, and applied to both IDU and ODU.
Connect the LUX50 1320CT to the IDUs F interface using F interface adapter cable.
Configure the IDU network parameters as described in 7.5.2.4.
7.5.2.2 Replacing main IDU memories
Open the cover of the main IDU as instructed in 7.6.
Install the new memories (including LUX50 flash memory) as shown in figure 204, 7.14.
Close the main IDU cover, reversing the order of operations on opening.
Reconnect all the cables to the unit and the software key.
Power up the IDU.
Wait for the URG, NURG and ATT LEDs to start flashing simultaneously.
Configure the IDU from the IDU by setting the IDU/ODU switch to the IDU position. Wait about two
minutes for the terminal to be reconfigured. The alarm LEDs should go off and the equipment LEDs
should turn green. At the end of the operation, the LUX12 configuration coming from IDU is
automatically converted to LUX50 format, and applied to both IDU and ODU.
276/348
7.5.2.3 Downloading 946LUX50 software

Reminder: this procedure can only be used if the LUX12 IDU to be upgraded to LUX50
is already set up with an 8 Mbytes flash memory and 4 Mbytes of RAM.
Do not use this procedure on IDUs manufactured prior to November 2000. Check the
IDU date.
Connect the LUX12 Craft Terminal to the LUX12 IDU to be upgraded to LUX50.
Using Software downloading application (refer to 4.6 in LUX12/LUX40 User Manual), upgrade the
IDU 360 software to LUX50. The LUX50 IDU 360 software file compatible with LUX12 software
download application is available at the following location on LUX50 CDROM Ref 3CC14311AxAA:
<CDROM Drive>:\V_N50\3CC07767.bin
At the end of the operation, the LUX12 configuration is automatically converted to LUX50 format, and
applied to both IDU and ODU.
7.5.2.4 Configuring IP address, OSPF and NMS

Due to the fact that LUX12 network management relies on RQ2, while LUX50 uses SNMP, network parameters
need to be configured on a LUX50 IDU following a migration from LUX12.
Open 1320CT application and log on the NE as described in 4.3.3.
Configure the NE IP address (see 4.8.2.2).
Configure OSPF area (see 4.8.2.4).
Configure pointtopoint interfaces (see 4.8.2.5).

Do not use this procedure on IDUs manufactured prior to November 2000. Check the
IDU date.
Connect the LUX40 Craft Terminal to the LUX40 IDU to be upgraded to LUX50.
Using Software downloading application (refer to 4.6 in LUX12/LUX40 User Manual), upgrade the
IDU 360 software to LUX50. The LUX50 IDU 360 software file compatible with LUX40 software
download application is available at the following location on LUX50 CDROM Ref 3CC14311AxAA:
<CDROM Drive>:\V_N50\3CC07767.bin
At the end of the operation, the LUX40 configuration is automatically converted to LUX50 format, and
applied to both IDU and ODU.
Open 1320CT application and log on the NE as described in 4.3.3.
Follow indications provided in 4.4: Software download toward NE.

7.8.2.3 Method
Power down the extension IDU and disconnect it from the power source.
Open the unit.
If the change entails changing the ESC 3 and/or ESC 4 daughter board, change as necessary.
Configure ESC 3 and/or ESC 4:
Configure the replaced board or modify the configuration of the existing board (see 7.8.2).
Configure ESC 5:
Set switches S502 (S102*) to S505 (S105*) and S507 (S107*) to S510 (S110*) of the SCU board to the
V11 or V28 setting according to the required configuration. Set switch S511 (S111*) according to the
required clock polarity (see 7.8.2).
Close the unit.
Reconnect the extension IDU to the power source and power up again.
If a change has been made to the ESC 3 and/or ESC 4 daughter boards, connect the CT and run the
Configuration/Quick Config procedure. (see 4.8.5).
In Quick Config Step 1, make sure that the appropriate values are selected for ESC3 and ESC4.
Run Quick Config until the end in order to apply these new values to the NE.
7.8.3 Adding an ESC extension IDU
If adding an ESC unit, the positions of ESC 3 and 4 may be fitted with daughter boards.
If the station has back-to-back terminals, transmission of the ESCs from one terminal
to the other is performed in baseband and the extension units of each of the terminals
must be fitted with daughter boards.
Do not connect the extension IDU to the power source.
Open the extension IDU to be added and check the configuration of the engineering service channels
(ESCs 3 and 4 daughter boards, SCU boards for ESC 5). If the configuration needs to be changed:
ESC 3 and/or ESC 4 configuration:
Configure the replaced board or modify the configuration of the existing board (see 7.8.2).
ESC 5 configuration:
Set switches S502 (S102*) to S505 (S105*) and S507 (S107*) to S510 (S110*) on the SCU board to the
V11 or V28 setting according to the required configuration. Set switch S511 (S111*) according to the
required clock polarity (see 7.8.2).
Close the unit.
Install the unit and connect it to the main IDU (see 3.6).
Connect the extension IDU to the power source and power up again.
Connect the CT and run the Configuration/Quick Config procedure. (see 4.8.5).
If the previous NE configuration was 1 + 0, change it to 1 + 0EXT. In all other cases leave it unchanged.
Change the ESC3 and ESC4 values to the appropriate value.
Run Quick Config until the end in order to apply these new values to the NE.

Replacing consumable items
7.15.1 MCU board battery

The MCU board of the main IDU (classic or light) has a battery to safeguard the memory which stores
supervision passwords, the last 300 events detected (remote inventory), and so on.
This battery must be replaced every 7 to 10 years if, after powering down, the remote inventory information is
lost when you power up again.
CAUTION
There is a risk of explosion if the incorrect battery is used.
Only replace with a battery of the same type:
M4T28BR12SH1, Supplier: STMicroelectronics
Observe all applicable national standards regarding the disposal of used batteries.
Do not burn and do not recharge.
Change the battery (see Figure 206 or 207 depending on the type of IDU). The battery simply plugs
into the printed circuit board.
Close the unit.
Power up the unit.
Wait for the ATT, URG and NURG LEDs to start flashing simultaneously on the main IDU and reload
the configuration from the ODU by pushing the IDUACO/ODU switch on the IDU connector panel
to the ACO/ODU setting. After two minutes at most, the LEDs should stop flashing simultaneously.
Check out operation of the equipment.

7.15.3 Changing a fuse of an IDU

The power supply units of the main, extension and Light IDUs versions are protected by two fuses which snap
into their clip mountings. The procedure below describes how to change these fuses.
Open the unit, for IDU, see 7.6.
Remove the suspect fuse and check it with an ohmmeter (if out of service: infinite impedance).
Insert a good fuse.
Close the unit.

Always replace fuses with fuses of the same type:
For the classic IDU (31 x 6 cartridge):
F10H 250 V (10 A fast blow fuse, high breaking capacity).
For the Light IDU (20 x 5 mm cartridge):
With Alcatel power supply: T3,15H250V (3.15 A slow blow fuse, high breaking capacity),
With ARTESYN power supply: F3,15H250V (3.15 A fast blow fuse, high breaking capacity).
If the fuses blow again on power up:

in an installation phase, check the polarity of the external voltage and/or that there is no short circuit
in the power connector,
if the fault occurs in operation, change the IDU.

Appendix 1 Human exposure to electromagnetic

fields
A.1.1
Introduction
This document explains the precautions that are taken to make sure the electromagnetic waves transmitted by
Alcatel 9400 family of equipment for Low and Medium Capacity Fixed Radio links are harmless for the public.
It provides an evaluation of a safety parameter based on calculations derived from the ICNIRP Guidelines and
the means (i.e. installation rules) by which this safety parameter has to be implemented, where necessary.
It applies to the protection of the public from electromagnetic field radiated by the transmit antenna of the
equipment. It does not apply to the protection of the workers.
The calculations, based on farfield telecommunications equations, provide, in case this hypothesis is not
validated by the result, an overestimated value for the safety limit in the boresight direction of the antenna.
In this latter case, more realistic evaluations could be derived from nearfield calculations, provided that an
adequate model of the antenna is used.
Where several radio equipment are installed on the same site, the contributions from each of them have to be
taken into account for the definition of the global safety parameter. Each radio site is then a particular case and
the safety parameter is no more depending on the characteristics of a single equipment only.
A.1.2
Standards and regulations
A.1.2.1 ICNIRP guidelines

The International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is formally recognized by the
World Health Organization (WHO) to draft health based exposure guidelines. This commission has updated the
guidelines on the thresholds of exposure to electromagnetic fields for frequencies from 0 to 300 GHz
[Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time Varying Electric, Magnetic and Electromagnetic Fields (up
300 GHz), Health Physics, Vol. 74, n4, pp. 499522, April 98]. This document defines the basic restrictions
on the populations level of exposure to electromagnetic fields and from that it derives reference levels for more
straightforward application in the lowest frequency ranges.
A.1.2.2 European regulation

The R&TTE Directive [Directive1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on
radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity]
is effective since April 2000. The objective of this Directive is to define the rules for allowing CE marking of these
equipment so that they can be placed on the market. These rules rely on harmonised standards. The article 3.1.a
of the Directive states that the following essential requirements are applicable to all apparatus: The protection
of the health and safety of the user and any other person, including the objectives with respect to safety
requirements contained in Directive 73/23/EEC, but with no voltage limits. The Directive 73/23/EEC of
February 1973 defines the harmonisation of the laws of Member States relating to electrical equipment designed
for use within certain voltage limits (from 100 V to 100 kV).
The European Commission has also published the Council recommendation 1999/519/EC of July 12 on the
limitation of the exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 to 300 GHz). The limits defined in
this recommendation are based on the ICNIRP guidelines of April 1998 for the general public
311/348
A.1.3
Evaluation of safety parameters
As far as ALCATEL 9400 infrastructure is concerned, the level of human exposure to electromagnetic waves
is characterized by the power density, which represents the basic restriction at those frequencies.
The following formula gives the power density assuming far field propagation of RF fields in free space. Then,
the power density at a distance D in the main lobe of an antenna of gain G with an input power Pf is:
DP=
Pf G
4p D2
(1)
Far field propagation assumption is valid at a distance equal to or higher than Dff from the antenna such that
Dff>2D2/, where D is the largest dimension of the antenna and the wave length.
Considering antennas with high gain, the safety parameter is first evaluated in the direction of the main lobe.
The distance DL where exposure level may reach the exposure limit DPL is provided by formula (2).
DL (m) =
PfG(W )
4p DPL(W / m2)
(2)
Formula (2) overestimates the safety distance if it is lower than the far field distance Dff.
312/348
A.1.4
Safety parameters
Based on the maximum power of the equipment, the following table gives the safety distances for the general
public. Theses distances are valid for 1+0 and 1+1 configurations.
If the transmitted power changes (see 7.12), the safety distance can be calculated using the formula given
in Appendix 1.3 above.

Implementation of protection rules
In order to comply with the previously mentioned distance constraints, a safety parameter must be materialized
along with the proper regulatory signaling and warning,
unless the following mounting rules could be implemented for the antennas or outdoor equipment with
embedded antennas; they must be placed:
At the edge of the roof in a position such as nobody can sit or stand in front of the antenna within the
applicable distance mentioned above.
OR
Against an outside wall or under a roof, with no obstacle within 2 meters in the direction of the signal
transmission, taking into account the antenna aperture.If the antenna is placed on a balcony, it should
be placed in a position such as nobody can pass in front of it. This means that: either the equipment
is fixed on the outside wall, not on the wall between the balcony and the building, and pointed toward
the outside with no obstacle within 2 meters; or the access to the balcony must be closed and proper
marking used.
OR
If none of these mountings is possible, then a safety parameter must be materialized along with the proper
regulatory signaling and warning.
These rules apply to the general public and therefore do not apply in case the equipment is installed in
professional premises of an Operator with no access to the public, provided that the access to the so defined
area around the equipment be restricted to workers having received an adequate information on EMF risks.
These constraints are based on a theoretical general worst case study.
A.1.6
Conclusion
Alcatel 9400 transmit nonionizing electromagnetic waves at a very low power, not exceeding 1 Watt at lower
frequencies.
Our installation rules make sure that it is impossible for anybody to sit or stand in front of the antenna within these
distances either by the physical position of the antenna or with a safety parameter.
These installation rules are followed by our installation teams and any of our subcontractors and are they part
of the instructions delivered along the equipment for installation by our customers or by third parties.
