z
The 9500 MPR-A advantages are:

Multiservice aggregation layer:
The capacity to use Ethernet as a common transmission layer to transport any
kind of traffic independently of the type of interface. Ethernet becomes the
convergence layer.
Service awareness:
Traffic handling and quality management, queuing traffic according to the
type of service assigned, independently of the type of interface
Packet node:
No service aggregation limits, with all traffic aggregated in packets in term of
capacity, type of service requirements, and type of interface
2 1 12
9500 MPR-A Radio



z
P-P VLAN Support

Allows the user to direct VLAN-tagged traffic between specified Ethernet
and/or radio ports.
P2P VLAN cross-connects will direct matching VLAN-tagged Ethernet traffic to
the cross-connected ports regardless of the destination MAC address in the
Ethernet frames.
Ethernet traffic entering the cross-connected port with a VLAN tag matching
the flow id will be directed only to the port on the other end of the crossconnect.

z
Adaptive Modulation in a Point-Point system

Adjusts adaptively the modulation as well as a range of other system
parameters based on the near-instantaneous channel quality information
perceived by the receiver
Channel quality is fed back to the transmitter with the aid of a feedback
channel
Adaptive Modulation is available for unprotected (1+0) and Protected (1+1

9500 MPR-A Radio

z 9500 MPR-A is a split mount architecture consisting of two separate units.

MSS implements functionalities of switching and protection using a

packet oriented technology.
The Core platform, with symmetrical x-connection functions, manages

different radio links. It is possible to add-drop tributaries in case of
local PDH accesses.
The Core platform is based on packet technology (Ethernet Switch) with

a generic serial GbEth interface between Core and peripherals
2 1 20
9500 MPR-A Radio


The peripherals are independent modules connecting the Core to a set

of different external interfaces through a high speed serial bus.
Available peripherals:
32 x DS1 local access modules
2 x DS3 local access modules
Modem 300 modules (Radio Access Card)
Ethernet packets are interfaced on the Core module.
The PDH incoming traffic is converted into Ethernet packets and then
sent to the Ethernet switch. Packet overhead is optimized before it is
to be sent through the air.

9500 MPR Radio

z The
quadrature modulated 311 MHz IF signal from the MSS is extracted at the N-Plexer and passed via a cable
AGC circuit to an IQ demodulator/modulator.
z The
311 MHz IF is demodulated to derive the separate I and Q signals using the 10 MHz synchronizing
reference signal from the MSS.
z The
I and Q signals modulate a Tx IF which has been set to a specific frequency between 1700 and 2300 MHz.
When this is mixed with the Tx local oscillator signal (TXLO) in the mixer stage, it produces the selected
transmit frequency. Both the IF and Tx local oscillators are synthesizer types.
zA
variable attenuator between the IQ modulator and the mixer provides software adjustment of Tx power.
z From
the mixer, the transmit signal is amplified in the PA (Power Amplifier) and passed via the diplexer to
the antenna feed port.
zA
microprocessor in the ODU supports configuration of the synthesizers, transmit power, and alarm and
performance monitoring. The ODU microprocessor is managed by the NCC microprocessor, with which it
communicates via the telemetry channel.
zA
DC-DC converter provides the required low-voltage DC bus from the -48 Vdc supply.
z In
the receive direction, the signal from the diplexer is passed via the LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) to the Rx
mixer. There it is mixed with the receive local oscillator (RXLO) input to provide an IF of between 1700 and
2300 MHz. It is then amplified in a gain-controlled stage to compensate for fluctuations in receive level. It is
converted to a 126 MHz IF in the IF mixer for transport via the ODU cable to the MSS.
z The
offset of the transmit frequencies at each end of the link is determined by the required Tx/Rx split. The
split options provided are based on ANSI plans for each frequency band. The actual frequency range per band
and the allowable Tx/Rx splits are range-limited within the 9500 MPR to prevent incorrect user selection.
zA
power monitor circuit is included in the common port of the diplexer assembly to provide measurement of
transmit power. It is used to confirm transmit output power for performance monitoring purposes, and to
provide a closed-loop for power level management over the specified ODU temperature and frequency range.
ODU V2 Construction and Mounting

z
The ODU V2 is constructed of:
Cast aluminum base

Pressed aluminum cover
Base and cover passivated and then polyester powder coated
Compression seal for base-cover weatherproofing
Carry-handle
ODU V2 Housing
327
9500 MPR Radio

A remote ODU mounting kit is available as an option. This may be used to connect an ODU to a standard
antenna, or to a dual-polarized antenna for co-channel link operation.
ODUs are fixed for Tx High or Tx Low operation.
If two ODUs are to be connected to a single antenna for hot-standby or frequency diversity configurations, use
a direct-mounting coupler. They are available for equal or unequal loss operation.
}
Equal loss is nominally 3.0/3.0 dB.
Unequal loss is nominally 1.5/6.0 dB.

The ODU includes a waveguide antenna port, a type-N female connector for the ODU cable, a BNC female
connector (with captive protection cap) for RSSI access, and a grounding stud.
The ODU is designed for direct antenna attachment via an 9500MPR-A specific mounting collar supplied with
the antennas.
ODU polarization is determined by the position of a polarization rotator fitted within the mounting collar.

ODU V2 External Connectors [cont.]

z
RSSI Monitoring Point

The ODU has a capped BNC female connector to access RSSI during antenna
alignment.
There is a linear relationship between voltage and RSSI, as shown in the table
below. An RSSI of 0.25 Vdc is equivalent to -10 dBm RSSI, and each additional
0.25 Vdc increase corresponds to a 10 dBm decrease in RSSI.
The lower the voltage the higher RSSI and the better aligned the antenna is.
The RSSI figures in dBm are identical to the RSL figures displayed in the 9500
MPR-A Craft Terminal software.

9500 MPR Radio


Installing the ODU

z
All ODUs are designed for direct-mounting to a collar supplied with

direct-fit antennas. ODUs can also be installed with standard antennas
using a remote-mount kit.
For single-antenna protected operation a coupler is available to support
direct mounting of the two ODUs to its antenna, or to support direct
mounting onto a remote-mounted coupler.
3 2 15
9500 MPR Radio


Direct-Mounted ODUs
z
z
The ODU is attached to its mounting collar using four mounting bolts
with captive 19 mm (3/4) nuts for fastening.
The ODU mounts directly to its antenna mount, as shown in the
illustration.
Pressed-Cover ODU and Mounting Collar
3 2 16
9500 MPR Radio


Remote-Mounted ODUs
z
ODUs can be installed separately from its

antenna, using a remote-mount to
support the ODU, and a flexiblewaveguide or coaxial cable to connect
the ODU to its antenna:
a flexible waveguide is required.
The remote mount allows use of

standard, single or dual polarization
antennas.
The mount can also be used to remotely
support a protected ODU pairing
installed on a coupler. The coupler
connects to the remote mount assembly
in the same way as an ODU.
The remote mount clamps to a standard
112 mm (4) pole-mount, and is common
to all frequency bands. Figure shows an
ODU installed on a remote mount.
3 2 17
Remote Mount
Flexible waveguides are frequency band
specific and are normally available in
two lengths, 600 mm (2 ft) or 900 mm (3
ft). Both flange ends are identical, and
are grooved for a half-thickness gasket,
which is supplied with the waveguide,
along with flange mounting bolts.
9500 MPR Radio

When co-channel Cross Polarization Interference Cancellation (XPIC), single antenna, link operation is
required, the two ODUs must be connected each to their respective V and H antenna ports using remote
mounts.

Grounding the ODU
The ODU must be installed with a lightning surge suppressor. Failure to do so

can invalidate the warranty.
One ground wire can be used to ground both the ODU and the suppressor only
when a pressed-cover ODU is installed with a suppressor support bracket.
For all other set-ups, one ground wire must be installed to ground the
suppressor, and one to ground the ODU.

This field allows to set the suitable Quality Of Service (Disabled/DiffServ/802.1p). To activate the new value,
click on Apply.
The Ethernet switch provides a Quality of Service mechanism to control all streams. If the QoS is disabled, all
traffic inside the switch has the same priority, this means that for each switch port there is only one queue
(FIFO) therefore the first packet that arrives is the first that will be transmitted.
The following values are available:

}
IEEE std 802.1p: the packet is examined for the presence of a valid 802.1P user-priority tag. If the tag is
present the correspondent priority is assigned to the packet;
DiffServ: each packet is classified based on DSCP field in the IP header to assign the priority;
z 2) NE MAC Address

The NE can be managed by the OS or by the Craft Terminal. To control the choice of the OS or 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
replay.
However, the OS does continue to provide a certain number of services. These services include:
z
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.

Select the Supervision pull down menu. Then select the Requested option from the Access State cascading menu.
If the OS does not 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.
z N.B.
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.
z N.B.
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).

Supervision Menu Access State [cont.]
When the operator presses Requested, the Craft Terminal (CT) gains
control and enters into the state LAC Requested only if the OS cannot
reach the NE.

z Performance Monitoring (PM) gives an indication of the quality of service. It is implemented only in the Modem
300 cards.
z Quality of service PM is performed in accordance with G.826 and G.784.
z PM is implemented by using one CRC byte in the Air frame.
z In one section, one current register is for 15 min report and one for 24 h report.
96 history data can be stored for 15 min report and 8 history data for 24 h report.
z 24 hr Performance Monitoring data are always stored in the History Data report.
z Two different radio sections can be monitored:
z
Radio Hop Section: the section between two radio stations inside the protection section.
Radio Link Section: the section identifying the protected section.
z N.B.: The 15 min Performance Monitoring data are stored in the History Data report only if errors have
occurred.
