2.2.4 PoweroverEthernetinjection
You must have Power over Ethernet sourcing equipment to powerup FreeMile and connect the
laptop to SAF FreeMile. It is possible to use passive injectors, utilizing spare wire pairs of Ethernet
cable. Refer to Chapter9 for detailed information on pinouts. Power over Ethernet injectorcanbe
purchasedfromSAFTehnikaasanoptionalaccessory.BelowisPoEinjectorrecommendedbySAF,as
wellasitsapplicationscheme.

Figure2.2.PoweroverEthernetinjectorwithsurgeprotection(P/NI0ATPi04)

Figure2.3.PoweroverEthernetinjectorapplication
The injector has shielded RJ45 sockets. This along with the metal housing helps to reduce the
effects of EMI. A ground lug and terminal are provided directly on the injector housing providing

(!)NotethatforFreeMileFODUACM(AdaptiveCodingandModulation)featureisenabledby
default.

Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) technology allows operators to achieve highcapacity
data transmission over microwave links and improve the link utilization. This reduces both
operational and capital expenditures for maintaining highcapacity links. ACM can maintain the
highestlinkspectralefficiencypossibleatanygiventimeinanylinkcondition.
Intraditionalvoicedominatedwirelessbackhaultransmissionnetworks,serviceavailabilitylevels
of99.995%arethenorm.
However,newerservicessuchasInternetbrowsing,videostreamingandvideoconferencingcan
operateatmorerelaxedavailabilitylevels.WithuseofQoSprioritizingACMcanallocatetherequired
availability based on the priority. As a result, highpriority services such as voice enjoy 99.995%
availability,whilelowpriorityserviceslikevideostreamingareallocatedlowerpriorities.
UseofQoSprioritizingdefineswhichservicesshouldbetransmittedunderanylinkconditionand
which services should be adapted whenever the link condition is degraded and the link payload is
decreased.
For example, when bad weather has decreased the channel capacity of a link, ACM maintains
highpriority services such as E1 channels with full bandwidth capacity while adapting the
bandwidthcapacityoflowandmidpriorityservicessuchasInternetbrowsing(seeFigure4.2).

Figure4.1.ACMbandwidthcapacityadaptation

Traffic can be mapped into different priorities, which define the level of service for each
application.Figure4.1illustrateshowdifferentservicessuchasrichvoiceandvideoaremapped
intodifferentclassesofavailability(CoA)suchas99.995%or99.985%.

32QAM,16QAM,QPSKfor10MHzchannel.
Theimplementationofmultipleprioritiesincreasestheavailablecapacityupto10timesthatof
standard links. When conditions are clear, the wireless link operates at maximum capacity and
provides all services with the full data rate. When link conditions are poor during harsh rain, for
examplepredefinedhighavailabilityservicessuchasvoicearenotaffected.However,thecapacity
of lowpriority services is adapted dynamically to the changing link conditions. This is done by
provisioningbandwidthaccordingtothelinkconditionsandtrafficpriority.

ThereceivercontinuouslymonitorsthelinkconditionbasedonRadialMSEvalue.
Oncetheestimatorsatthereceiversideshowthatthelinkperformanceisnotsuitableforthe
current ACM profile, an ACM switching process will be initiated. In case of degradation in the link
performance, the new ACM profile will include lower modulation, decreasing the link bitrate. The
ACMswitchingrateismeasuredindB/sandisakeyfeatureofACMsystems.
Ingeneral,thehighertheswitchingrate,thebetterthesystemsimmunitytorapidRadialMSE

aggregateddataratetothenewavailablelinkdatarate.
Alternatively,ACMcanalsobeusedtoincreasethelinkdistance,resultinginaddedlinkspectral
efficiency. The same concept is implemented as previously, with the margins that were kept for
99.995percent bandwidth availability now used to increase the link distance. Whenever the link
conditions are degraded,the system will switch to an ACM profile with lower spectral efficiency to
enablemaintainingthelink.

The following realworld example illustrates the benefits of ACM. Consider a FreeMile link

Theperformanceparametersarecollectedwithintimeintervalsof1min.,15min.and1hour.
Listreservedspaceforeverytimeintervalis1440records(seeFigure5.6.).
Secondbysecond the input performance event values are stored by updating previous second
values. The register is called current register. The current register contains the performance values
collectedsecondbysecondfromtheresetinstanttothepresentsecond.
At the end of period the contents of current registers are transferred to the history registers
(records), with a timedate stamp to identify the period, after which the current register must be
reset.
Some current register values are passed to the threshold crossing control unit for triggering
thresholdcrossingnotification.
Optionally, the same values are output to the Message Communication Function (MCF) to be
forwardedtothemanagingsystem.

timevarying properties of a communication channel with selective fading, having a target to
compensatetheinequalitiesinfrequencyresponse,mitigatingtheeffectsofmultipathpropagation.
In wireless telecommunications, using QAM modulation this filter equalizes not only a separate
quadraturechannel,butprovidesacancellationofcrossinterferencebetweenthem.
In current SAF FreeMile device an adaptive equalizer is realized as complexarithmetic 24taps

The management module has RAMandEEPROM chips onboard.When SAFFreeMileis booted
up, bootstrap is loaded from the EEPROM into RAM. The bootstrap contains the parameters that
were previously stored in EEPROM using write and/or cfg write commands. These parameters are
storedinEEPROMintheformofscriptandwhenbootingup,thescriptparametersareloadedinto
RAM. These parameters can be freely changed in runtime, changing the data in RAM. If the SAF
FreeMile is shut down without saving the current configuration (script) in EEPROM, the original

UpdatingSoftware

Tosimplifythesoftwareupdateprocess,SAFTehnikaprovidesspecialupdatepackage,asanew
version is available. This update pack is available as archive (e.g. zip), which includes firmware file
(with *.elf.ezip extension), boot configuration file (with *.ini extension) and other files needed for
updateprocess.Toreceiveupdatepack,pleasecontactyourSAFTehnikadistributor.
The main method for software upgrade is Web GUI software upgrade, which automates the
whole software upgrade process. To perform software upgrade from Web GUI, please go to

Besides there are other various ways how the user can update the SAF FreeMile management
softwarebyuploadingtheappropriatefirmwarefiletotheSAFFreeMileflashdiskandfurtherediting
