1.3 Functions
For functions of the NR8120, refer to Table 1-2.
Table 1-2 Functions of the NR8120
Service Type Function Description
Native represents the advanced native transmission

technology while Hybrid means hybrid transmission of
non-mapping native services. The Hybrid & Native function
enables the native Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) service
and the native Ethernet service to dynamically share the
Hybrid & Native air interface bandwidth, and mapping between them is not
microwave required. The function has the following advantages:
transmission l Reduces the transmission delay and increases the
Wireless system transmission efficiency.

l Reduces unnecessary cost of frame encapsulation and
increases the radio bandwidth utilization.
l Increases the microwave frequency spectrum
utilization.
As a node in the network, the NR8120 supports at most

Two transmission two transmission directions. This function is applied in two
directions applications scenarios:
l Radio 1+1 protection configuration
1-3

l East-to-west transmission
ACM is a technology that can automatically adjust the

coding and modulation mode in accordance with channel
quality.
Adaptive Coding and l When channel quality is good, the ACM function
Modulation (ACM) improves the system transmission efficiency and
frequency spectrum utilization.
l When channel quality is deteriorated, the ACM function
ensures the link reliability of high-priority services.
Automatic This function reduces the transmitter's interference on

transmission power neighbor systems and the transmitter's residual error rate.
control
With this function, the contents that are unchanged but

repeatedly transmitted in Ethernet data frames, such as
Ethernet frame
Medium Access Control (MAC) address and IP header,
header compression
are replaced by short bytes at the transmitting end. This
on air interface
function increases the Ethernet service transmission
throughput for a fixed bandwidth.
The NR8120 supports the Ethernet load balance function.

This function is implemented by Link Aggregation Group
(LAG). LAG uses the HASH algorithm to calculate
Load balance source/destination MAC addresses of data flows to
determine the transmission channel for each service flow.
Load balance can also be implemented based on IP
addresses.
The NR8120 supports SNCP switchover when the work

mode of air interface is set to E1. It improves the microwave
link transmission reliability.
SNCP uses 1+1 protection mode. In other words, each
transmission direction has two different routes: working
route and protection route. Service data is transferred
Sub-Network
between two NEs through SNCP, that is, the NE at the
Connection
TDM transmitting end transmits service data to the NE at
Protection (SNCP)
the receiving end through the working subnetwork and
for TDM service
protection subnetwork in bridge mode. The NE at the
receiving end selects the service data from one of the two
routes based on the switchover principle.
The SNCP function can be flexibly applied in protection
configuration for various networks, including trunk network,
relay network, and access network. It can also be applied
1-4

in various network topologies, including tree network, ring

network, and mesh network.
The NR8120 uses a carrier-level Ethernet switching

architecture. The internal switching is layer-2 Ethernet
switching and layer-2 Ethernet frames (802.3) are
processed. The TDM service uses CES over ETH, which
encapsulates the TDM service into layer-2 Ethernet frames
for transmission.
This function enables the microwave Native TDM service
CES
to transverse a wired network. The TDM service can
transverse the wired network after CES over ETH
processing by the emulation board configured on the
NR8000 device for accessing the wired packet network.
The CES service is restored into a Native TDM service
through the emulation board configured on another NR8000
device.
This function has the following advantages:

l Supports the Ethernet switching function with a
maximum switching capacity of 22 Gbit/s.
l Provides 10/100/1000 Mbps adaptive ports, and
supports the auto-negotiation function and automatic
transmission rate adjustment.
l Supports statistics of Ethernet bandwidth utilization
and remote monitoring.
l Supports 16 K Medium Access Control (MAC) address
spaces.
l Supports 4 K VLANs that comply with the IEEE 802.1q
standard.
l Supports 9600-byte Jumbo frames.
Ethernet Ethernet switching l Supports the STP/RSTP/MSTP function. It prevents
packets from being multiplied and circulated in a
ring network, and ensures that the system packet
processing capability will not degrade due to repeatedly
receiving the same packets.
l Supports the Connectivity Fault Management (CFM)
function, which includes continuity check, loopback
check, link tracing, remote defect indication, frame loss
rate measurement, alarm indication, administrative
locking, and signal testing.
l Supports the Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) function,
which includes link frame-level detection and statistics
management, and reports the alarm status of relevant
links to users in a timely manner.
1-5

l Supports the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)

function, which enables devices of different vendors
to recognize each other in the network and exchange
system configuration information with each other.
l Supports the Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP) function, through which multiple member links
are bound to form an aggregation group, increasing
point-to-point bandwidth and redundancy between two
devices.
l Supports the Ethernet Ring Protection Switching
(ERPS) function, which is operating on all NEs in a ring
network. The Connectivity Fault Management (CFM)
module checks link connectivity in the ring network and
reports link faults to ERPS to ensure that each NE can
operate properly.
l Supports the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
function, which dynamically checks the microwave
network topology and calculates the route table for the
IP layer to forward data.
QoS is a network security mechanism, which helps solve

network delay and congestion problems.
The NR8120 determines the scheduling priority of a packet
in accordance with the information such as 802.1q priority,
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) priority, and
Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) label in the packet.
It ensures that important packets are not delayed or
discarded and the network can operate properly.
This functions has the following advantages:
l Supports various scheduling types, including Strict
Priority (SP), Weighted Round Robin (WRR), Deficit
Quality of Service Weighted Round Robin (DWRR), SP+WRR, and
(QoS) SP+DWRR.
l Supports two packet discarding functions: end
discarding and simple early random discarding.
l Supports the storm suppression function for unknown
unicast, unknown multicast, known multicast, and
broadcast.
l Supports the packet aging time setting function that is
embedded in the NR8120.
l Supports the traffic shaping function for outgoing
services.
l Supports the control list access function. In other
words, the input data packets are categorized in
1-6

accordance with filtering conditions such as source

address, destination address, and port number of
the packets. This function implements a series of
operations for specific service flows, including flow
control, black/white list, priority mapping, and flow
statistics.

For the input/output clock sources supported by the NR8120, refer to Table 4-1.
Table 4-1 Input/Output Clock Sources Supported by the NR8120
Clock Source Type Description Standard Followed
BITS clock The BITS clock signal is inputted/outputted from ITU-T G.813 standard
the CLK IN/OUT port on the RCMUA panel. The
BITS clock has two modes: 2 Mbps and 2 MHz.
Users can configure the clock mode through
software.
SyncE synchronization The NR8120 supports Master-output/Slave-input ITU-T G.8262

gigabit/megabit mode. The synchronization Ethernet clock signal standard
Ethernet clock is inputted/outputted from the gigabit/megabit
Ethernet interface of RCMUA.
Microwave air-interface The NR8120 restores the clock signal from the ITU-T G.813 standard
clock air interface, and uses it as the system reference
clock source.
1PPS+TOD clock The 1PPS+TOD clock signal is inputted/outputted ITU-T G.813 standard
from the CLK IN/OUT port on the RCMUA panel.
4-1

Clock Source Type Description Standard Followed
1588v2 clock The NR8120 supports the 1588v2 protocol. It ITU-T G.8263
inputs/outputs the 1588v2 data packets from the standard
gigabit Ethernet port of the RCMUA, extracts the
clock signal from the 1588v2 Slave interface, and
uses the signal as the system reference clock
source.
The supported clock types include common clock,
edge clock, and transparent clock.
l If an NR8120 is used as a secondary common
clock, it synchronizes with upper-level NEs
through the 1588v2 protocol. If an NR8120 is
used as a primary common clock, it outputs
the clock signal to lower-level NEs through
the 1588v2 protocol.
l If an NR8120 is used as a transparent
clock, it satisfies the clock synchronization
requirement of terminal devices through the
point-to-point existence delay modification
for 1588v2 packets that are transparently
transferred in the microwave network.
l If an NR8120 is used as an edge clock, it
forwards the clock synchronization signal in
the microwave network to satisfy the clock
synchronization requirement of terminal
devices.
Plesiochronous Digital The NR8120 extracts the clock signal from the E1 ITU-T G.823 standard
Hierarchy (PDH) clock interface of the RTEA, and uses it as the system
reference clock source.
CES clock The NR8120 extracts E1 clock from the CES ITU-T G.823 standard
service, and uses it as the system reference clock
source.
4.1.2 Clock Synchronization Principles

A microwave network that consists of NR8120s bears E1 services and Ethernet services.
It is a synchronization network, synchronizing time in primary/secondary synchronization
mode.
An NE in the microwave network is taken as the primary clock, and synchronizes with
the upper-level high-precision clock. It is configured with a high-precision local crystal
oscillator, which is used for keeping the clock or as the primary clock when no external
4-2

Chapter 4 System Principles
high-precision clock is available. Other NEs in the network trace the primary clock, and
control corresponding lower-level NEs in accordance with the primary clock.
Figure 4-1 shows the clock signal transferring diagram of the NR8120.
Figure 4-1 Clock Signal Transferring Diagram
1. After the system clock of IDU1 locks a reference clock source, it transfers the clock
signal to IDU2 through microwave radio link or synchronization Ethernet, and works
as the reference clock source of IDU2.
2. IDU2 can lock its system clock to the reference clock source and outputs the system
clock signal to implement the clock transferring function.
4.2 Power Supply Principle

The NR8120 uses the standard -48 V communication power supply. The external -48 V
power supply is connected to the RPUB.
The RPUB outputs 200 W. It provides functions including lightning surge protection,
reverse-connection prevention, O-Ring, filtering, and input power monitoring.
The RPUB provides the -48 V power supply to the RCMUA through the backplane.
The RCMUA converts the -48 V power supply to low-voltage power supply, and provides
it to the RTEA/RTEB and RMEA.
The -48 V power supply is provided to at most two ODUs through the IF interface of the
RCMUA/RMEA.
Figure 4-2 shows the power distribution.

4.3 Operation and Maintenance Principle

4.3.1 Configuration Modes
The NR8120 provides various login methods and configuration management methods to
facilitate equipment maintenance. Users can select appropriate connection configuration
modes in accordance with actual conditions.
l WEB configuration mode
Users can manage the NR8120 through the HTTP protocol. After entering the IP
address of an NR8120 in the Internet Explorer, users can log in to the WEB-formed
LMT system and manage the NR8120.
l Element Management System (EMS) configuration mode
The back-end network management server operates as the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) server, and the front-end NR8120 operates as the
SNMP client. The equipment configuration management is implemented through the
SNMP software. This connection configuration mode helps users effectively manage
and configure the equipment through the network management system.
4.3.2 Data Management

The data management module helps users manage the NR8120 configuration data. It
ensures that the configuration data can be issued to each service board reliably and
accurately.
Data Storage
In the NR8120 system, the main control board uses a 192 MB flash to save data. The
flash stores various files, including version files, configuration files, exception log files, and
performance files.
4.3.3 Security Management

The security management module helps Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT) users
maintain the operation rights, including querying rights, adding rights, deleting rights, and
setting rights and passwords for users.
The user rights hierarchy function is used to manage the equipment operation commands.
The configuration right and browsing right are available to users. Those who only have
the browsing right can only access the configuration window but cannot modify the
configuration data.
At most 10 users can be added through the security management module. There are three
roles: administrator, operator, and browsing user.
l The administrator can perform all query operations and configuration operations, and
add or delete users.
4-4

l An operator can perform query operations and configuration operations.

l A browsing user can only perform query operations.
All users can modify their own passwords.
The security management module also provides the IP rule filtering function and the Trap
IP control-table enabling function for the NetNumen U31 system.

4-5

Figure 4-4 Alarm Management Mechanism
l The main control board stores all the alarm bitmap information of the equipment, and
collects alarm information of each board through the alarm collection management
function. Each board can also automatically reports alarm information to the alarm
agent module.
l The agent management function reconstructs alarm information. The alarm agent
module extracts useful alarm information and sends it to the main control board. The
main control board manages alarm information in a unified manner.
4.3.5 Monitoring and Maintenance

The monitoring and maintenance module helps users not only find all faults of the
equipment but also troubleshoot the faults in a timely manner. It ensures proper
operations of the equipment.
Equipment Monitoring
l The maintenance terminal provides all alarm information of the equipment and
monitors the status and operations of the equipment in real time. It handles all
abnormal alarms that affect the equipment operations in a timely manner to ensure
that the equipment can operate properly.
l Alarm information is divided into four levels:
à critical
à major
à minor
à warning
Alarm levels enable users to handle critical alarms as soon as possible.
4-6

l Indicators are designed on the power board, main control board, and each controlled
board. The color and flashing frequency of each indicator reflects the operating status
of the corresponding board, whether the board has an alarm, and the alarm level.
l When the equipment is being started, the system gives a sound prompt, indicating
whether the equipment is powered on properly. The system also provides sound alarm
and rotating speed alarm for the fans if they are faulty.
l The system can use the 1+1 radio link configuration. When the active equipment
becomes faulty, the system automatically performs active/standby equipment
changeover to ensure that the system can operate properly.
Equipment Maintenance
l The multi-user operation mode is implemented through the user rights hierarchy.
l During the equipment operating process, all alarm information is recorded. When
a fault occurs, users can find the fault causes through the log information and
troubleshoot the fault in a timely manner.
l When the equipment is powered down or restarts, the system provides a special alarm
handling policy to ensure that the original alarm information will not be lost after the
equipment is powered on or restarted.
l Association or filtering shielding processing is performed for redundant alarms of the
equipment, ensuring that important alarms are provided.
l In the LMT system, users check the operating status of the equipment.
l In the LMT system, users can check the service performance data of the equipment,
including 15-minute performance data of one day and 24-hour performance data of
10 days.
4.3.6 Diagnosis and Debugging

4-7

l Power supply protection

The system power supply supports 1+1 backup protection.
l Air interface protection
The system supports three protection modes: 1+1 hot backup protection, 1+1 space
diversity protection, and 1+1 frequency diversity protection.
4.4.2 Software Reliability

l The software development of the NR8120 complies with the Capability Maturity Model
(CMM) specification.
l Unified and portable system platform
The NR8120 uses a modularized software system platform, which completely shields
the hardware features and makes the application layer independent of the hardware.
It provides a unified and portable system platform for various applications.
l Hierarchical modularized structure
The NR8120 uses a hierarchical modularized software structure to implement a high
cohesion and low coupling. It reduces the influence of an errored software module on
other software modules to the minimum extent.
l Hot-patch upgrading
The NR8120 supports upgrading software by installing the software patch. The
software of a controlled board can be upgraded online without affecting the main
control board. It improves the service transmission capability as well as the system
availability and service quality.
4.4.3 Data Reliability

The NR8120 provides a strict data protection mechanism.
l It supports automatically backing up the database of the active board to the Flash
storage area. In this way, the active board can acquire the data directly from the
Flash storage area.
l It provides the active/standby 1+1 protection mode for the radio link to ensure the
service transmission data reliability. The active/standby 1+1 protection mode has the
following three types:
à 1+1 space diversity protection
à 1+1 frequency diversity protection
à 1+1 hot backup protection
l The version management function enables the system to initiate the version
consistency check periodically. If data inconsistency is found, an alarm is reported,
and the incorrect software version is prohibited to be activated and loaded. The
system also notifies users to re-download the software version package to recover
the data.

l In the transmitting direction:

Service signals are transmitted to the active RCMUA/RMEA and the standby
RCMUA/RMEA. Normally, the active ODU transmits RF signals to the antennas
while the standby ODU does not transmit signal. When the active RCMUA/RMEA
or ODU becomes faulty, the active ODU stops transmitting signals and the standby
ODU starts transmitting signals.
l In the receiving direction:
The antenna splits RF signals to the corresponding active ODU and the standby ODU.
Normally, the system selects the service signal from the active RCMUA/RMEA. When
5-3

the active RCMUA/RMEA becomes faulty, the system automatically starts board-level
protection and performs active/standby board changeover, and the corresponding
active/standby ODUs are changed over too.
5.3 1+1 SD Configuration

SD is short for Space Diversity. This configuration mode is applied for channels.
Two spatially-separated antennas are used to receive the same signal. The system selects
the optimal one from the two received signals, which minimizes the impact of attenuation
on signal transmission.

RCMUA/RMEA. Normally, the active ODU transmits RF signals to the antenna while
the standby ODU does not transmit signal. When the active RCMUA/RMEA or ODU
becomes faulty, the active ODU stops transmitting signals and the standby ODU
starts transmitting signals.

The system selects one channel of service signals with better signal quality from the
two that are transmitted by the opposite-end active/standby ODUs.
The two antennas transmit the received RF signals to the active/standby ODUs
respectively. When the active channel becomes faulty or the Bit Error Rate (BER)
reaches the threshold, the system automatically selects the service signal outputted
by the standby RCMUA/RMEA.
5.4 1+1 FD Configuration

FD is short for Frequency Diversity. This configuration mode is applied for channels.
Two channels with a certain frequency spacing are used to transmit and receive the same
signal. The system selects the optimal one from the received two signals, which minimizes
the impact of attenuation on signal transmission.
