2.0 IDU
2.1 IDU Description
Figures X-1 shows the IDU front layout. All the connectors are located on
the front for easy operation. In addition to the line interface, 2Mbit/s
wayside and 64kbit/s data channels are available. As options, a 21x2 Mbit/
s terminal multiplexer, ADM STM-1 (X-Connect) or DS3/E3 can be config-
ured by adding a second circuit board. The IDU is equipped with an
integrated supervisory system for local and remote configuration and
control. The supervisory system communicates with the ODU by use of an
FSK modulated channel on the coaxial cable. The same coaxial cable also
carries power to the ODU. For configuration and management purposes the
IDU is equipped with two LCT interfaces for connection to the PC, one with
RS-232 interface and one LAN TP interface. In addition NI interfaces for
connection to other IDUs or other Nera equipment are provided. A SETS
function is incorporated into the unit, conforming to ITU-T rec. G.823 with
balanced 120Ω interface. The IDU has a connector for alarm input/output
functionality (ALM/AUX). Alarm and warning LEDs are located on right
hand side of front. Located close to the power connector is a power indicating
LED.
Figure I-1 shows a block schematic view of the IDU with various optional line
interface plug-in boards and also a 21x2 Mbit/s Extension Board. In radio
transmit direction, the 155 Mb/s input signal from the line interface board is
fed to the “SORP” ASIC. It performs all the SOH processing and radio
scrambling. Then, the TX FPGA encodes the signal by use of a convolution
code and an optional Reed Solomom code. The signal is then mapped into
a “32TCM”, “64TCM” or “128TCM” constellation, as required. It also
performs the necessary pulse shaping by use of a digital FIR-filter. The signal
is then digitally I-Q modulated, and the 350MHz IF signal is fed to the ODU
interface and applied to the IF coaxial connector. In receive direction the
140MHz IF from the ODU will interface the IDU on the same connector. The
necessary cable equalizing functions are provided in the ODU interface and
the equalized IF is presented to the coherent demodulator. From the demod-
ulator the signal is fed to the RX FPGA, which perform slope equalization and
receive filtering. Then the “ATDEC” ASIC, performs Trellis decoding, by use
of soft decision and the “Viterbi” algorithm for error correction. The optional
Reed Solomon decoding is performed in the RX FPGA. The decoded signal
is then fed to the SORP ASIC for radio descrambling and SOH processing,
and is finally fed to the line interface board.

2.2 Hot Standby IDU Description
Figure X-2 shows the HSB IDU front layout. The connectors on the front
are identical to the ones used on the IDU and is therefore not further
described here. Additionally, a second power connector is added for
power redundancy enabling separate battery courses. Figure I-2 shows a
block schematic view of the IDU with various optional line interface plug-
in boards. Interconnection of data and control signals between IDUs (A and
B) and HSB IDU is by means of a connector and special split cable. This
cable is part of the HSB cable kit. In a 1+1 HSB system, all the customer
interfaces are towards the HSB IDU. These signals are disabled on the IDU
in such a configuration. The same alarm and warning LEDs used on IDU is
also used here. Additionally, a second power indicating LED is located
close to the redundant power connector. Also, an array of four LEDs,
located on the right hand side in close proximity to the alarm/warning
LEDs, indicates switching status in transmit and receive direction.

2.3 Line Interface Boards
Six different versions of 155 Mb/s line interface boards are presently
available as plug-in modules. These are:
• Electrical, 75Ω unbalanced interface bd. according to

ITU-T rec. G.703.
• CAT-5 UTP electrical interface bd. according to
ATM Forum rec. af-phy-0015.000.
• Multimode Fiber optical interface bd. according to
ANSI rec. T1.646 and T1.105.06 type “SR-0”.
• Singelmode Fiber optical interface bd. according to
ITU-T rec. G.957, type “S-1.1”.
ITU-T rec. G.957, type “L-1.1”.
ITU-T rec. G.957, type “L-1.2”.
In a 1+1 HSB system, the line interface board will only be used on the HSB
IDU. All the interface boards have an input signal indicating LED.
2.4 Service Telephone

A service telephone with collective call is provided in both the IDU and
HSB IDU. In a 1+1 HSB system, the customer interface connection must
be towards the HSB IDU.
External connection to two other similar equipment can take place via two
RJ-45 ports on the front. Refer to Appendix I for connector pin-out and
description and Figure I-3 for circuit diagram of the service channel
interface. The balanced interfaces have a nominal level of -6dBm and
600Ω impedance. Connect OUT to INP and vice versa.
Service channel signalling is based on collective call. The DTMF-star

sequence is used as collective call to interface with other Nera equipment.
If other equipment connected have a different calling system than DTMF-

star, they may use CALL INP/CALL OUT. Station ground connected to
CALL INP will start transmission of DTMF-star as well as activating a
buzzer. A detected DTMF-star will activate the CALL OUT by opening an
optocoupler to station ground.
For Nera PDH-radio equipped with Service Board 2NF467A, CALL INP
has to be connected to CALL OUT and vice versa.
28 B4008 Rev. M
A control signal can be transferred over the radio hop. Station ground
connected to CTRL INP will set a signalling bit which is detected on the
other side and activates CTRL OUT by opening an optocoupler to station
ground. See Figure I-3. The control signal is used to control PABX-
adapters and to switch off loudspeakers on Nera service boards with
selective call (e.g. 2NF4688, 2NF533B and 2KNF232A). The control
signal is transferred only if SOH-byte “E1”, “E2” or “F1” is used for
transmission of service channel.
For setup by NEW, refer to Section VII.

2.5 21x2Mbit/s Extension Board (option)
In Figure I-4, a block schematic depiction of a 21x2Mbit/s Extension Board
function are given. This function enables twenty-one 2Mbit/s channels to
be multiplexed/demultiplexed, enabling a terminal multiplex function. It is
possible to configure the unit to drop a certain number of 2Mbit/s channels
while delivering the rest as a part of the STM-1 payload in a “drop-and-
continue” configuration. In a standard terminal multiplexer configuration,
the plug-in line interface board is omitted. The 2Mbit/s channels conform to
ITU-T rec. G.703, balanced 120Ω. Also provided on the same circuit board
is the option of using one of the 2Mbit/s channels as SETS reference clock
input/output, according to ITU-T rec. G.823.
In a 1+1 HSB system, this interface board will be mounted in the HSB IDU.
In a 1+0 system it will be included in the IDU.

2.6 ADM STM-1 (X-Connect) Extension Board (option)

The Extension Bd. ADM STM-1, which is a part of the Indoor unit in the
NERA CityLink, is an optional ITU-T standard STM-1 interface implemented
for 155 Mbit/s signal entry and exit in a ring topology. The STM-1 entry signal
into the ring is split and transmitted to line and radio side in parallel. Signals
exiting the ring are received from line and radio side. These are up to 63xVC-
12s from either side and they are protected, i.e. they shall be switched
individually if a break somewhere in the ring occurs. Also, the system will
handle any allowed combination of VC-3s and VC-12s.
In Figure I-5, a block schematic of the STM-1 Extension Board functions is

shown. The STM-1Extension Board will interface one STM-1 line signal in
Tx- and Rx-direction. The STM-1 interface is interchangeable in the following
30 B4008 Rev. M
way: In a slot in the STM-1Extension Board, a line interface board is inserted.
Presently one type of board is implemented: The plug-in board compliant
with ITU-T G.703 CMI encoded 155 Mbit/s customer interface; 2LN24C. A
green LED, located on the front of the board indicates presence of an input
signal. The line interface board is mounted on the extension board prior to
this being mounted within the IDU cabinet. This means that the line interface
board will not be used as a plug-in type board in this application.
SOH processing and line scrambling /descrambling on the STM-1 interface

are performed by the SORP ASIC. The TDM1 ASICs perform insertion,
extraction, signal processing and cross-connection of data in the payload
of the STM-1 frame and also make error and performance measurements on
VC-3 and error measurements on VC-12. The PLD14 FPGA makes perform-
ance measurements on VC-12s embedded in the STM-1 datastreams from
two TDM1 ASICs. The measurement results are used to choose individual
VC-12s from the two datastreams in TDM1 ASIC no.1 and TDM1 ASIC no.2.
The selection is done by the SU in TDM1 ASIC no. 3. See Figure I-5.

2.6 3xDS3/E3 and DS1 Extension Board (option)
DS3 is a 45Mbit/s PDH standard used for the North American marked, E3 is
34Mb/s PDH standard used for the European marked and the DS1 is a
1.5Mbit/s PDH standard used for the North American marked. The 3xDS3/
E3 and DS1 Ext. Bd., which is a part of the Indoor unit in the NERA CityLink,
will perform add-drop of 3xDS3/E3 PDH channels to-from a STM-1 frame. In
additional it will perform insertion and extraction of 1.5 Mbit/s wayside (DS1/
T1).
In Figure I-6, a block schematic of the 3xDS3/E3 and DS1 Ext. Bd. functions
are shown. The 3xDS3/E3 and DS1 Ext. Bd. will interface three DS3/E3 and
one DS1 line signal in Tx- and Rx-direction. The line interface circuit includes;
cable equalizer, line coding and pulse shaping functions. This is performed
by two Line Interface Unites (LIU), one for DS3/E3 an one for DS1. SOH
overhead and radio processor is located oh the motherboard in the IDU.
The PLD15 FPGA maps the 3xDS3/E3 into three VC3s, then into a VC4 and
then into a STM-1 signal and de-maps in the opposite direction. The STM-
1 signal is locked to a 2.048 MHz input (SETS) coming from the motherboard.
The TDM1 ASIC performs insertion, extraction and cross-connection of
data in the payload of the STM-1 frame. Together, the two TDM1s and PLD15
implement the core of a DS3/E3 add-drop multiplexer. The 1.5 Mbit/s
Wayside (DS1/T1) function is implemented in PLD15 and is independent of
the TDM1 ASICs.

2.6 Ethernet Extension Board (CityLink Fast Ethernet)
In Figure I-7, a block schematic description of an Ethernet Extension Board
(EEB) is given. This function enables 4 separate Ethernet channels 10BASE-
T/100BASE-TX and 4 separate 2Mbit channels conforming to ITU-T rec.
G.703. The EEB will treat all 8 channels separately, meaning that all data
entering on one channel will leave on the same channel on the other side of
the radio hop. All channels are full duplex. The four Ethernet and four 2Mbit/
s channels shares the STM-1 data capacity. The 2Mbit channels, if enabled,
will always be guaranteed full bandwidth. The 4 Ethernet channels can be
configured to either equally share the STM-1 data frame, or one channel can
be given priority. The EEB has a limited on board Ethernet package buffer
capacity. This gives the ability to handle short time 100Mbit/s bursts on all
four channels without package loss. Also the EEB supports flow control,
making it possible to configure a 400Mbit full duplex network without
package loss, even though the radio hop is limited to STM-1 data rate.

3.0 ODU
3.1 ODU Type I Description
The ODU Type I is an assembly of branching unit and transceiver unit
mounted behind the antenna or on a mounting frame on a pole/column. The
ODU is connected to the IDU with a single coaxial cable. The coaxial cable
provides Tx-IF, Rx-IF, signalling and power supply. For flexibility and easy
installation, the coaxial cable is con-
nected to the transceiver through the
branching unit. The transceiver is at-
tached to the branching with a snap on
system. With this solution, the coaxial
cable may remain connected during
transceiver replacement. In 1+0 con-
figuration the branching unit is for a
single transceiver and in Hot Standby
configurations the branching is for dual
transceivers. The ODU and the antenna
are assembled very closely together
making it very compact. Nevertheless
the antenna can be separated from the
ODU by use of a flexible waveguide.
The branching unit contains RF channel filters, circulators and overvoltage

protection. The Hot Standby branching contains in addition a RF switch for
transmit direction and a RF power splitter for the receive direction.
The transceiver unit contains a microwave Tx/Rx module, a synthesised

local oscillator and a transceiver main board, all in a waterproof housing.
The transceiver is based on dual frequency conversion in the transmitter
and triple conversion in the receiver. This radio architecture with high IF
frequencies allows for use of wide band branching filters while still
maintaining excellent spectrum purity in transmitter and high selectivity
in receiver. The use of wide band branching filters allows for a wide choice
of remote channel frequency selection without changing hardware.
The microwave module is an integrated multi-chip module with GaAs

HEMT MMICs for Power Amplifier and Low Noise Amplifier. The
necessary LO frequencies for the frequency converters are generated in
a low phase noise synthesiser unit. The channel frequency is remotely
programmed from the indoor unit. Transmit/receive IF-chain, control-
circuits, signalling and power supply are integrated on the transceiver main
board.

3.2 ODU Type II Description
The Type II of the ODU consists of a weatherproof
box containing the branching system. The ODU
box is mounted on a pole/column behind the anten-
na. The Transceiver unit is a plug-in unit mounted in
the box. In 1+0 configuration the ODU box con-
tains a 1+0 branching unit for a single transceiver
and in Hot Standby configurations the ODU box
contains a Hot Standby branching unit and dual
transceivers. The branching unit contains RF chan-
nel filters and the diplexer. The Hot Standby branch-
ing contains in addition an RF switch for transmit
direction and an RF power splitter for the receive
direction.
The transceiver unit contains 7 modules/sub-units;

a microwave transmitter module, a receiver mod-
ule, 3 local oscillators, an IF &controller board and a detector board. The
transceiver is connected to the modem/IDU with a single coaxial cable that
carries Tx-IF, Rx-IF and signalling (MTcom). Power is supplied through
a separate connector (D-sub), and for the split mount case this power is
separated from the coaxial cable in the ODU container (box).
The transceiver utilises a single conversion scheme in the transmitter and

a dual conversion in the receiver. In order to obtain an optimum spectrum
mask, the transmitter chain contains predistortion circuitry at IF before
the microwave upconverter and power amplifier. Narrow channel filters in
the branching unit further reduces the spectrum mask. The second convert-
er in the receive chain allows for an IF loop-back facility for diagnostics
purposes. LO frequencies for the microwave frequency converters are
generated in synthesised DROs. The oscillators are by nature fixed in
frequency, i.e. they can only be remotely programmed within a narrow
range. When necessary, the oscillators can be adjusted within a range of
approx. 200 MHz with a mechanical screw (see Section VII Chapter
4.5.2.3 for guidance). Power supply, transmit/receive IF-chain, signalling
and controller (DSP) for the transceiver are integrated on the IF &control-
ler board.
The branching unit contains narrow RF channel filters and circulators.

3.3 ODU Type III Description
Type III of the ODU consists of a single
ODU (in 1+0 configuration) mounted
behind the antenna and attached to the
antenna by means of four snap-on
clamps. The ODU is connected to the
IDU via a single coaxial cable which
carries transmitter IF, receive IF and
control and monitoring signals, as well
as DC power. In 2+0 and 1+1 hot stand-
by configurations both ODUs are at-
tached by the same snap-on clamps to a
branching hybrid. This hybrid can ei-
ther be bolted directly to the antenna or
via a short length of flexible waveguide.
The branching hybrid contains an RF
splitter and combiner.
The ODU consists of a weatherproof housing containing a microwave

transmit/receive module, a synthesised local oscillator module and an IF
and control transceiver main board. The transceiver is based on a dual up-
conversion and triple down-conversion scheme, which allows the use of
wide-band duplex filters and therefore a wide choice of remote channel
frequency selection. To optimise the transmitter spectrum the transmitter
employs pre-distortion at IF as well as cable equalisation to correct for
variable loss and slope in the cable.
The microwave transmit/receive module consists of a multi-chip module

using a set of GaAs HEMT MMICs, both for the transmitter power
amplifier and the low-noise receiver. The required local oscillator signals
are fed from the synthesised local oscillator module and up-converted
using a diode multiplier. The channel frequency is remotely selected via
the IDU. Transmit/receive IF multiplexing, control and monitoring and
power supply functions are all integrated on the transceiver main board.

4.0 Management
An integrated supervision system makes the CityLink capable of function-
ing as a Network Element (NE) in a managed SDH transmission network.
Management and supervision of the CityLink can be performed in various
ways from very simple alarm monitoring to standardised management
through optional built-in NE agents. Standardised use of QECC, according
to ITU-T Rec. G.784, is provided.
As an option, the CityLink also supports embedded SNMP agent that can
be controlled by SNMP based manager supplied by the service provider.
For element and network management the NEW-NMS (Nera Element vieW
- Network Management System) software provides the full range of manage-
ment functionality; Fault, Performance, Security and Configuration.
The integrated SNMP agent provides interface to higher level Network

Management Systems.
The alternative interfaces available at the IDU are described in Appendix

I; IDU Interface Description.

5.2 Hot Standby Configuration
In Hot Standby configuration the IDU, the transceiver unit, and the coaxial
cable between IDU and ODU are duplicated. The two transceivers share the
same branching unit/hybrid. A switch at radio frequency level, included in
the branching unit 1, allows for switching between the two transmitters. A
Switching Unit is placed between the two IDUs and performs hitless
switching in the receive direction. The STM-1 line interface and Multiplex
plug-in modules are mounted in this switching unit. Signal interconnection
between the IDUs and the switching unit is by a multi connector and a split
cable.
1) Some ODU types use a passive combiner/splitter at RF level.

5.4 Hot Standby Configuration – Dual Antenna
The Hot Standby configuration is for 26-38 GHz also available with duplicat-
ed antenna. There is no Tx-switch at radio frequency level and the standby
transmitter is muted. Both receivers are active and selection of receive signal
is performed by the IDU-switch. This configuration gives better system gain
as no HSB-hybrid loss is added.

CityLink
1.0 General
This section assumes that pre-planning of the link has been performed, i.e.
path budgeting & survey to ensure good line-of sight between the two link
ends.
1.1 Packing
Any sensitive product, i.e. IDU and Printed Circuit Boards, are packed in
special antistatic handling bags or boxes.
It is therefore essential that whenever unpacking or disassembling the

equipment and or handling printed circuit boards etc., special precautions
to avoid ESD (Electro Static Discharge) should be taken, such as using
wrist grounding or corresponding protection.
The equipment is packed in sealed plastic bags which are equipped with
required moisture protection.
All equipment is further packed in special designed cases prepared for

transportation.
Dimensions and weight of each case are specified in the "Packing

specifications" issued for the respective shipment.
1.2 Marking
Marking is done according to customers requirements. If such informa-
tion is unavailable, the equipment is marked in the following way:
Customer address
Contract No.
Site Name (if known)
Case No.
1.3 Transportation
The transport containers are prepared for shipment by air, truck, railway
and sea, suitable for handling by fork-lift trucks and slings.
The cargo must be kept dry during transport and storage.

For sea-transport, deck-side shipment is not permitted and carrier-owned
cargo containers should be used.
50 B4008 Rev. M
1.4 Radio Equipment Inventory Check
Look for damage on the cases. Ensure that correct quantities of goods have
arrived, according to the packing list in each package/unit.
Check also that the part description on the outside of each box corre-
sponds to the components required for the installation, i.e. correct antenna
and frequency, ODU frequency band and sub-band, IDU configuration.
Report any damages or missing items to Nera ASA by e-mail or fax. A short
description of damages, preferably including photographs, should be sent
as soon as possible.
1.5 Preparation for Installation

Complete the required civil works. Transport all the equipment to site.
Unpack the equipment and inspect for damage during transit to site and
make sure that the correct quantities of goods have arrived.
Units with static discharge protection should not be unpacked until the
equipment installation takes place. Ensure you are grounded at a control-
led ESD point before and during insertion, and during any subsequent
unpacking of the unit.
1.6 Handling & Storage

It is recommended that components are stored and transported to the
installation site in their original packing cases. If items are unpacked for
storage, they should be handled with care and protected during transpor-
tation by similar protective materials.
The equipment is an electronic device which should be handled with care.

It should be stored in dry, cool conditions, out of direct sunlight. A
moisture absorbing bag is taped inside the transportation unit to minimise
condensation during transportation. This is to be removed at installation.
No maintenance is required when stored according to particulars above.
To avoid damage to the sealing components and unwanted moist in the

interconnection interfaces, the transportation protection lids on the branch-
ing and the transceiver must be kept on until mounting of waveguide
components and connection of the transceiver to the branching unit.

NOTE!
Most antennas are delivered with a bimetallic shim. This MUST
NOT be mounted for 18-26GHz equipment as the ODU, the
flexible waveguide and the antenna all have aluminium
waveguide connectors. Flexible waveguides for 13-15GHz have
silver plated brass flanges and the bimetallic shim MUST be
used (copper side facing flex-wg).

5.0 Frequency Tuning at 13GHz &15GHz Transceiver

This chapter gives a short description of how to set and change frequency
channel on the transceiver. To perform this operation it is necessary to
remove the cover and mount the transceiver to a branching connected to
an IDU. A PC (where Nera software NEW is installed) and power are
further connected to the IDU. A voltage meter and a screwdriver must also
be available.
• Switch on the power at the system

• Set wanted frequency in New.
Tables II-1 to II-9 give the relation between selected channel, duplex, TX
High/Low and RX High/Low. The illustration on the next page gives an
overview of the tuning voltage connectors (VT TX and VT RX) and tuning
screws.
WARNING!
This equipment contains components which are sensitive to
"ESD" (Electro Static Discharge). It is therefore essential that
whenever disassembling the equipment and/or handling PC
boards, special precautions to avoid ESD have to be made.
This includes personnel grounding, grounding of work bench,

grounding of tools and instruments. For the tuning process,
it is also recommended to use a ceramic screw driver.
• Measure the tuning voltage VT TX continuously while adjusting the

tuning screw. First turn the tuning screw CCW as far as it goes. Then
adjust it CW until VT TX reaches the correct voltage:
For 15GHz Transceiver; 4±0.5[V]
• Measure the tuning voltage VT RX continuously when adjusting the
tuning screw. First turn the tuning screw CCW as far as it goes. Then
adjust it CW until VT TX reaches the correct voltage:
After tuning VT TX and VT RX to the correct voltage, the transceiver is

configured to the correct frequency channel. Inspect the gasket and
replace the cover with use of correct torque (1.25Nm).

6.0 Antenna Alignment

6.1 Azimuth and Elevation Adjustment
Azimuth Adjustment
Torque: 110-120Nm
• Unlock securing nut approx. 1 turn
before azimuth adjusting
• Adjust azimuth
• Lock securing nut after adjustment
Elevation Adjustment
• Unlock securing nut approx. 1/2 turn
before elevation adjusting
• Adjust elevation
• Lock securing nut after adjustment
Torque: 110-120Nm
6.2 Coarse adjustment.

Adjust both antennas to correct direction as possible by using magnetic
compass or optical sight.
6.3 Fine adjustment

Fine adjustment is achieved by setting up a connection between the
antennas. When the connection is established a readout of the AGC voltage
can be used to align the antennas. Loosen the antenna in both elevation and
azimuth according to figure and adjust both azimuth and elevation until
maximum signal is recived. Try a few times in each direction. The antenna
should be turned so much that the first sidelobes are seen, thereby ensure
that the antenna is aligned on the mainlobe.
When the antenna is aligned in both azimuth and elevation the polarization
of the feed shall be realigned.
Finally ensure that all bolts and nuts are properly mounted and tighten.
The same procedure shall than be repeated on the opposite antenna.
128 B4008 Rev. M

6.4 Final Control
When all adjustments are performed, check that the input level agrees with
the calculated level. If the input level is to low, realign the antenna once
more. Finally ensure that all bolts and nuts are properly mounted and
tighten.
6.5 Polarisation alignment

Align the antenna approximately in both elevation and azimuth. Then use
a water level to align the polarisation of the antenna feed to correct
polarisation according to figures below. Loosen the six M8 nuts that are
securing the feed to the reflector and rotate the feed according to readout
of the water level. When the feed is in correct alignment, tighten the six

Preparations for Operation
2.1 NEW-NMS/NEW-Configurator Startup and
connecting to Network Elements
The NEW-NMS/NEW-Configurator (Nera Element vieW-Network Man-
agement System/ -Configurator) program must be installed on a PC
satisfying the following minimum requirements:
• NT4.0/Win95/Win98 operating system

• Pentium 133MHz processor
• 32MB memory
• 200MB disk size
• 1 COM port
• CD-ROM drive
Follow carefully the program installation instructions to make sure the

program is successfully installed.
The element viewer can monitor the Network Elements (NEs) using a
serial connection (RS-232) or a TCP/IP connection (or both for different
network elements). Apply all external connections to the PC before the
program is started.
A serial connection must be used the first time the network manager/
configurator is connected to the CityLink, because the IP address must be
set in the CityLink, before a TCP/IP connection can be established.

Serial Connection (RS-232/ LCT).
Apply the serial cable to one of the serial ports of the PC and the LCT port
of the CityLink. Start the program. A Log on dialog box pops up. Log on
to the network with your user id and password.
Note!
NEW-NMS' security system has initially one user account:
User ID: admin
Password: adminpasswd
It is strongly recommended to change this password!
The program has an auto discover function which automatically discovers

NEs connected to the serial ports of the PC when starting. If some NEs are
connected to the serial ports of the PC, the network topology is automat-
ically discovered and presented in the Explorer view. Press Add to include
discovered elements in the network topology of the program. The auto
discover function can also be manually executed by selecting Discover

from the File menu. When discovering the network manually, the program
looks for NEs at the open ports listed in the Communication dialog box
(select Communication from the Configuration menu).

TCP/IP Connection.
(Assumes the TCP/IP address is configured in the CityLink )
Apply Ethernet connections to both the CityLink and PC. Start the
program. A Log on dialog box pops up. Log on to the network with your
user id and password.
Note!
User ID: admin
The program does not know the IP-address of the network element so the
connection must be manually established. To configure a TCP/IP connec-
tion to the network element, select Communication from the Configu-
ration menu. Press the Add button and type the IP address of the NE in
the address field of the dialog box which pops up. Press OK to save the
changes, and OK to close the Communication Configuration dialog box.

2.3 Notifications
The NE can send notifications to NEW when specific events occur. When
using notifications, NEW gets new information faster than if only polling
is used. Polling should however be used in addition to notifications. The
NE keeps individual notification settings for each NEW that is logged on
to the NE, such that the settings made from one NEW only apply to that
NEW. Note that the settings will be reset to default when NEW logs on to
the NE or when the IDU is reset.
A notification is enabled when the corresponding checkbox is checked ( ).
The Notifications configuration sheet can be opened from the Configu-

ration context menu of the Element node in the Explorer view. The sheet

3.1.2 Transmission Configuration, SW-version ≥ R2A00
The Transmission Configuration sheet is used to set the transmission
standard and termination on the element. When the applied termination is
different from RST, the sheet is also used to configure the SETS functionality.
A CityLink element may support different extension boards. This includes

the DS3/E3 Extension Board, the STM-1 Extension Board or the 21x2Mbit/
s tributary board. Each element will, however, only support one extension
board at a time. From the Transmission Configuration sheet the user can
enable the functionality of the specific extension board. The 21x2Mbit/s
extension board assumes a frame structure which contains 63 E1s. To enable
this board, select the termination to be Lower Order Path Termination -
LOPT. If the DS3/E3 Extension Board or the STM-1 Extension Board is
mounted, the frame structure must be set explicitly.
The Transmission Configuration configuration sheet can be opened from

the Configuration context menu of the Transmission node in the Explorer
view. The sheet can also be invoked by selecting (highlighting) the Trans-
mission node in the Explorer view and then selecting Edit Transmission
Configuration from the Configuration menu.
Figure VII-10 Section Termination Configuration Sheet
164 B4008 Rev. M

Termination Enabling The type of termination this element shall
support. Legal values are:
• RST
• MST
• Lower Order Path Termination - LOPT
• Enable X-Connect (available only if X-
Connect Extension Board is equipped)
• Enable DS3/E3 (available only if DS3/E3
Extension Board is equipped)
Note: If this setting is changed and applied to
the element, the equipment will perform a soft-
ware reset.
Transmission Standard The Transmission System used. Legal values are:

• SDH
• SONET
Element Type The type of «timing element» we’re supposed to

be. This is important in a network where SETS is
applied. Legal values are:
• SEC
• SSU Local (G.812 Local)
• SSU Transit (G812 Transit)
• PRC
SSU Clock Source This field will only be enabled whenever the
Element Type is set to either SSU (G.812
Local) or SSU (G.812 Transit). The SSU is an
external clock regenerator or filter that will remove jitter from
the clock on its input. It will then output a regenerated clock on its
output. The SSU is connected to the element via the
2MHz synch RJ-45 plug on the front of the IDU.
The clock source can be one of the following:
• LINE
• RADIO
• Any dropped 2Mbit/s
• LINE EXT
The last option will only be available if the X-
Connect Extension Board is present.
B4008 Rev. M 165

CityLink
SSU Squelch Level This field will only be enabled whenever the
Element Type is set to either SSU (G.812 Local) or
SSU (G.812 Transit). If the quality of the clock source
changes to a quality that is below this «quality
squelch» level, the 2MHz synch output to the SSU
will be squelched. This in turn will cause the SSU to
enter holdover mode (or free-running), i.e. the clock
quality it sends to the 2MHz synch input will have a
G.812 quality (ref. ITU-T Recommendation G.812)
that is based upon the internal oscillator in the SSU.
Legal squelch levels are:
• Better or equal G.813
• Better or equal G.812 Local
• Better or equal G.812 Transit
• Equal G.811
Clock Priority This is the first column in the Clock Priority list view.
This field will only be enabled whenever the Element
Type is set to SEC. This is just a number specifying
the priority of the rows where 1 is the higher priority.
The user can not change anything in this column.
Clock Source This is the second column in the Clock Priority list
view. This field will only be enabled whenever the
Element Type is set to SEC. If e.g. the user double
clicks the first cell in this column, a combobox will be
shown over the cell. The user can than select from
where the clock to this priority list item shall be taken.
This can also be done for the 2nd and 3rd cell in this
column. The 4th cell, on the other hand, is the internal
oscillator which will be used whenever the element is
in holdover mode. This cell can’t be altered. Legal
values are:
• LINE
• RADIO
• 2MHz Synch
• LINE EXT
Note: Only one of the priority list items can be
configured to take its clock source from a 2Mbit/s
tributary at the time. This is due to HW constraints.
166 B4008 Rev. M

Clock Quality This is the third column in the Clock Priority list view. This
field will only be enabled whenever the Element Type is set
to SEC. If the Clock Source field for a specific priority list
item is set to either STM-1 LINE or STM-1 RADIO, the
corresponding cell in this column will be set to SSM and
will be grayed out (i.e. disabled). This means that the content
of the S1-byte (located in the MSOH) will inform the element
of which clock quality the traffic in the specific directions is
clocked with. If the Clock Source field for a specific priority
list item is set to be taken from the 2MHz Synch input, or it
is to be taken from a 2Mbit/s tributary, their clock quality
aren’t embedded in the traffic in any way. This means
that the user will have to set their clock qualities manually.
In these cases, the cell in question in this column will be
enabled and the user can set the quality. Legal values are:
• G.813
• G.812 Local
• G.812 Transit
• G.811
In addition to these, SSM will also be present in the list but
can not be selected.
Note: Ref. ITU-T for more information regarding the
different G.8xx recommendations.
Enabled This is the fourth column in the Clock Priority list view.
This field will only be enabled whenever the Element Type
is set to SEC. If a specific priority list item has this cell
checked it will be present in the clock priority scheme. If
not it is ignored.
Active Priority This is the fifth column in the Clock Priority list view. This
field presents the currently active clock. The field is
updated each time the “GET” button is pressed.
Note: If the user, by means of the Drop or Continue dialog, removes any of
the tributaries in the list above, they will automatically be removed from
the list!

RST:
This is the default setting on the element when delivered from the factory.
With this configuration the SDH structure is ignored, i.e. it can be anything
because the virtual containers will not be accessed. The equipment will
monitor and re-generate B1 pulses. M1 REI and B2 will only be monitored.
Figure VII-11 shows the Transmission Configuration dialog when this
setting is applied.
Note: When the element is RST, all the SETS elements of the dialog are
disabled. This is because SETS only is used when the element is configured
as MST or Lower Order Path Termination - LOPT. Even though the SETS
functionality is disabled, the user can see the last applied MST settings.

3.2 Alarm Indication Signal Insert

(For advanced users)
The Path Trace functionality and the AIS (Alarm Indicator Signal) function-
ality are used for verifying that the received STM-1 frames are the frames we
want to receive (correct routing, frequency alignment...). This is done by
either inserting a fixed byte or a user defined ASCII string in the J0 slot in the
RSOH, or a two bit RF ID symbol at the transmit end. This is done from the
path trace sheet. The RF ID functionality is only available at the Radio side.
The radio that receives the STM-1 frames must have the same Trace string
(J0) or RF ID defined in the AIS insert sheet. If there is a mismatch, an AIS
can be inserted. An AIS can also be inserted if the HBER threshold is
exceeded.
The AIS Insert configuration sheet can be opened from the Configuration
context menu of both the Transmission Radio and Line Rx nodes in the
Explorer view. The sheet can also be invoked by selecting (highlighting)
one of the Transmission Radio and Line Rx nodes in the Explorer view
and then selecting Edit AIS Insert from the Configuration menu.

4.0 Equipment Node

4.1 Network Routing
The active and initial routing tables map incoming messages that are
addressed to other NEs, to different communication ports.
The active routing table is used by the IDU to route messages to other NEs,
using the best path detected. The IDU regularly searches for connected
NEs through all enabled communication ports to detect any changes in the
network topology. This table is initialised with the initial routing entries
when the IDU is rebooted (and when the initial routing table is configured
by the user) and then evolves towards an optimal routing table.
The initial routing table is used after the IDU has been booted. This table
is used as a starting point for the routing mechanism, and will thus, if
properly set, decrease the time the NE uses to create a sufficient active
routing table. Initial routing entries can be manually added and active
routing entries can be copied to the initial table.
The Routing Table configuration sheet can be opened from the Config-
uration context menu of the Equipment node in the Explorer view. The
sheet can also be invoked by selecting (highlighting) the Equipment node
in the Explorer view and then selecting Edit Routing Table from the
Configuration menu.

4.2 IP Routing
Static Routes
Maximum 20 static routes can be configured on a Nera OSPF router.
Active Routes
An Nera OSPF router supports approximately 200 active routes.
OSPF areas
It is not recomended to have more than 25 OSPF routers per OSPF area.
Each area may export up to 8 address ranges.
Fixed configuration options

The Nera OSPF implementation is not a dedicated router implementation and
as such some parameters that would normally be configurable are fixed. For
interoperability with other equipment it is however sometimes important that
the configuration of external equipment match these values.
Name Value
Inject default route into stub area YES
Router dead interval 40 sec
Hello interval 10 sec
Retransmit delay 1 sec
Retransmit interval 5 sec
Authentication NO
Limitations
This implementation supports a basic implementation of OSPF v.2 (RFC
2823). It does not support virtual links and MD5 authentication.
Other options
This implementation supports a rudimentary mechanism for distribution of
static and RIP2 routes. The implementation also supports exporting routes
to RIP2.

4.4.5 DS3/E3 Looping

The DS3/E3 card includes three PDH ports, each of which supports looping.
The card supports Far End Loop, Near End Loop, PRBS insertion and PRBS
verification. The loops are available when the PDH Ports on the DS3/E3 card
have been configured to add or drop traffic.
A PRBS signal can be inserted on all three PDH ports instead of the regular
traffic. The incoming PRBS signal can then be checked in order to verify the
quality of the communication path. To check the quality of the signal, a PRBS
counter is configured to count the errors on one of the PDH Ports in one of
the DS3/E3 directions. An error is detected when the signal differs from the
expected PRBS signal.
The DS3/E3 card has one PRBS generator that can be muxed into either
inbound or outbound direction on one or more ports simultaneously. The
PRBS generator can be inverted. For E3 the PRBS polynom is 223 - 1 and for
DS3 the PRBS polynom is 215 -1. The PRBS checker is available at one of the
PDH ports in either inbound or outbound direction and can also check
inverted PRBS signals.

4.5.12 IDU Replace Unit Wizard
The Replace Unit Wizard simplifies the process of replacing an IDU. The
wizard copies configuration data from “old” IDU to the “new” IDU.
Note:
• The NEW program must be directly connected to the LCT port on the
IDU (serial communication).
• The “old” NEs configuration data is copied to the “new” IDU,
including Element ID. Thus the addresses of the “new” IDU
become equal to the addresses of the “old” IDU.
• Available Functions data is not copied. The “new” IDU may have
other optional functions available than the “old” IDU.
The wizard describes each step in the replacement process.

Sub Network SNCP performs path protection switching (called
Connection dedicated protection) which manages all traffics by
Protection - SNCP a path. Working traffic is transmitted in one direc-
tion, and protection traffic in opposite direction
around the ring, and traffic is selected at each end of
the path. So, SNCP supports multiple rings, and
offers suitable solution for access and metro net-
work where hub node terminates most various
traffics. SNCP can also transmit signal to only one
direction, west or east, and the products can be used
as 1+0 Linear ADM mode as well as SNCP mode.

The IDU switch will perform most of the normal tasks of an IDU, with the two
IDUs maintaining modem functionality. Thus, configuration of line inputs,
wayside channels etc will be handled on the switch, while modem-specific
functionality (e.g Viterbi error pulses) is found on the IDU. Some function-
ality, like auxiliary outputs, are found in both places.

Field descriptions:
The page consists of two lists; one for each branch. Each list contains alarm
names/categories and a checkbox for each name/category.
276 B4008 Rev. M

Switching algorithm
The following algorithm is applied in automatic switching mode:
Compute the total severity factor of each branch (SA, SB) using the following
formula:
SCenabled1is 1 if the switching criteria “RF Input Alarm” is enabled (checked),

else it is 0. SCactive1 is 1 if the alarm/category “RF Input alarm” is active
(present) on the element, else it is 0.
If SA = SB, switch to the preferred branch (The preferred branch is set in the
Hot Standby Config page)
If SA > SB, switch to SB if branch A is active.
If SB > SA, switch to SA if branch B is active.
Automatic Switch Mode

The IDU switch checks the state of both channel A and channel B regularly.
This task decides whether an Rx switch is needed or not. Similarly, the Tx
switching is controlled by the ODU. For the Tx switching to work, the
connected IDU signals the ODU when at least one of the switching criteria
are present on the IDU.
In automatic switch mode the following rule constrain switching:

A channel switch is performed if, and only if, the channel switched to, has
no switch conditions true.
On IDU A and IDU B, a dedicated task is continuously checking whether the

Rx or Tx switch criteria status has changed, and if so, notifies the IDU switch
and ODU about the change.
Currently, bi-directional switching is not implemented in automatic mode.
Manual Switch Mode

In manual switch mode, bi-directional switching is performed only as a result
of a Q1 message from external management software (e.g. NEW-NMS).
Currently, unidirectional switching is not implemented in manual mode.

6.1.4 Reconfiguring a Hot Standby IDU for
use in 1+0 Configuration
An IDU that has been used in a HSB configuration will continue to be
configured as a HSB element until explicitly reconfigured. To do this, first
disconnect the IDU from the switch. Then use NEW-NMS to connect to
the element with a serial cable. NEW-NMS’ explorer view should now
display an equipment tree with a single node. Bring up the Element ID
dialog from the Configuration menu, and disable the Hot Standby check-
box. When the element is next power cycled, it will start up in 1+0 configu-
ration. This can be verified with the Element ID dialog.
6.1.5 Reconfiguring a 1+0 IDU for

use in Hot StandBy Configuration
If the IDU used in a 1+0 is to be prepared for an IDU in a HSB system, it is
very important to do the following procedure :
1.Connect the HSB cable between the IDUs and the switch
2.Power up the HSB IDU
3.Power up the IDU A and IDU B
The IDUs will now be automatically reconfigured as IDUs used in a HSB

system.
WARNING!
If the Y-cable connectors marked with IDU A and IDU B are
swapped, the IDUs must always be rebooted after this opera-
tion.

NEW Network Management System

The management and supervision of CityLink Fast Ethernet may be
performed in various ways depending on the actual application.
• NERA’s NEW-NMS can work as an SNMP-manager and control and
supervise the radio-relay (described in the follwing chapters).
• The CityLink Fast Ethernet may be treated as just another LAN device
and controlled and supervised via the built in SNMP agent (described
directly after the NEW-chapters).
• Interfaces: 10Base-T LAN port or one of the 4 Ethernet ports.

Agent settings configured locally must match the settings in the NEW-
NMS. Please see the CityLink Fast Ethernet Agent Configuration.
NEW-NMS is using received traps for keeping an accurate element status.

SNMP Traps are unreliable and no delivery guarantee is given, to over-
come this weakness a query for number of traps sent from the SNMP
element must be performed from NEW-NMS at given time intervals. If the
number of traps sent from the element is not equal to the number of traps
received from the element, traps have been lost and alarm synchronization
is needed.

9.5 BER Thresholds
The Viterbi decoder is a component using a Viterbi low complexity
algorithm for decoding/error correcting the received bit-sequence in the
NE. The viterbi error rate is used as a quality measurement for the radio
hop.
When the Viterbi error rate exceeds certain values, alarms are generated.
The threshold values decides when alarms are generated. The threshold
values can be changed by the user.

9.6 Laser Control
Available on CityLink Fast Ethernet Line Terminal only.
The optical port may or may not have implemented Automatic Laser
Shutdown (ALS). This is a function designed for eye safety purposes,
according to ITU-T rec. G.958. When implemented, ALS may be enabled
or disabled.
When ALS is not implemented or enabled the laser must be turned on/off
manually.
When ALS is enabled, the laser automatically will restart after a waiting
time period (selectable), when having previously been turned off. (If the
section of operation is not connected or Loss Of Optical Signal from far
end is detected, the laser will again be turned off after 2 sec.) The waiting
period is by default set to 1 minute.
The Laser Control configuration sheet can be opened from the Config-

3.0 Troubleshooting by NEW-NMS Configurator

3.1 Introduction
Fault management is the process of locating and correcting network
problems or faults. Fault management is possibly the most important task
in network management. It consists of identifying the occurrence of a
fault, isolating the cause of the fault and correcting it if possible. The fault
management increases the network reliability by giving the network
operator a tool that quickly detects problems and initiates recovery
procedures.
NEW contains functions for acquisition, presentation and storage of

alarms and events from the network to be managed.
3.2 Information Acquisition

In order to detect faults, information must be gathered from the network.
The state of the network is monitored using two different methods.
3.2.1 Polling
The various network elements should be polled on a regular basis, so that
changes in Network Elements (NE) are detected and network connectivity
is checked. Which NE to poll, the polling rate and what to be polled for a
specific NE is user definable.
B4008 Rev. M 349

CityLink
3.2.2 Event Notification
In addition to polling, some NEs have the ability to spontaneously report
events. The NEW will gather this information in addition to polling. This
feature will decrease the managers response time to network events
considerably.
3.3 Alarm Presentation

In all views, where network information is presented, colors are used to
indicate the alarm severity status of the NEs. To easily identify the status
of the NEs, all alarms are classified according to their severity. Each alarm
severity class has a color. In the different views, the NEs change colors
according to the color of their most severe alarm. The alarm classifica-
tions are described in the table below.
Severity Colour Description

(default)
Normal Green No alarms or warning have been reported
from the NE.
Warning Yellow Indicates the detection of a potential or
impending service-affecting fault, before any
significant affects have been felt. Action
should be taken to further diagnose and
correct the problem in order to prevent it
from becoming a more serious service-
affecting fault.
Minor alarm Dark Yellow Indicates the existence of a non-service-
affecting fault condition and that corrective
action should be taken in order to prevent a
more serious fault.
Major alarm Orange Signifies that a service-affecting condition
has occurred and urgent corrective action is
required.
Critical alarm Red The most severe alarm. It signifies that a
service-affecting condition has occurred and
an immediate corrective action is required.
No contact Blue Indicates that no contact is achieved with the
NE. The communication settings should be
checked in order to obtain contact with the
element.
Misconfigured Magenta The NE has not been properly configured.
350 B4008 Rev. M

Troubleshooting
3.4 Visual Alarm Notification
There are four different ways of monitoring alarms in NEW. These methods
are described in the following subchapters. The NEW context sensitive help
system offers a more comprehensive support on all features in the NEW
program.
3.4.1 Alarms on a Tree node/leaf in the Explorer view

The Explorer View is opened by selecting Explore Net from the View Menu.
Figure IX-1 shows an example of the Explorer view.
The Explorer View shows the Network information in a logical manner. Each
NE is divided into two main branches; a Transmission branch and an
Equipment branch. The sub-branches and leaves under the Transmission
branch concern the transmission aspects of the NE. The sub-branches and
leaves under the Equipment branch concern the physical equipment of the
NE.
Figure IX-1 Example of Explorer View
B4008 Rev. M 351

CityLink
The Explorer view use the severity colours to indicate alarm events. The
alarms are presented in a hierarchical manner. The colour of the most
severe alarm is inherited from the leaf where the alarm was identified, to
all branch leaves up to the section symbol. E.g. the section and NE symbols
will always show the alarm colour of the most severe alarm identified in
the sub-branches in the Explorer view.
By pressing the right mouse button on any nodes/leaves in the Explorer

View and selecting Current Alarms from the context menu, a Current
Alarm List (ref. Appendix III) is opened showing all alarms Hierarchical
below the selected leaf.
3.4.2 Alarms on a Node symbol in the Map view

The Map View is opened by selecting Map Navigator from the View
Menu. Follow the instructions in the Help file to create a map. Figure IX-
2 shows an example of the view.
The Map View shows the Network information in a physical manner. Each
NE is showed as an NE icon. Graphic-files can be added as background
images in the view. NE icons grouped together with bindings form
networks. The NE icons change their severity colours according to the
current most severe alarm of the NE.
Figure IX-2 Example of Map View
By pressing the right mouse button on a NE icon in the Map View and
selecting Alarms from the context menu, a Current Alarm List (ref.
Appendix III) is opened showing all alarms of the NE.
352 B4008 Rev. M

Troubleshooting
3.4.3 Viewing Alarms in the Current Alarms View
The Current Alarm View can be opened by selecting Current Alarms from
the Fault Menu. Figure IX-3 shows an example of the Current Alarms List.
Each alarm is listed as a row in the list as shown in Table IX-1.
The Current Alarms List can also be opened from both the Explorer View
and the Map View by selecting Current Alarms from the right-mouse-
button-click context menu. The filter is then automatically set up to show
only the alarms hierarchically below the node/leaf the alarm list was
opened from.

4.0 Cable Fault

If a cable fault is indicated, it indicates that the microprocessor communica-
tions between the IDU and ODU have failed. The fault is most probably with
the cable connection. It may be open or shorted. Disconnect the cable from
the IDU and leave the ODU connected. Measure the DC cable resistance
between the centre pin and the outer conductor of the N-type connector
terminating the cable by means of a multi-meter.
If resistance is in the order of some hundreds kΩ Ω to a few MΩ Ω:

Probably no cable fault.
Replace IDU or ODU, one at the time. If alarm persists, swap the replaced unit
for the original and replace the other unit.
If resistance is less than some hundreds kΩ Ω:

Probably cable or connector damage. Check the cable and connectors at both
ends for defects or for reasons that would cause the problem. Remeasure
DC resistance, now with both cable ends disconnected. The resistance
should be “open circuit” and if not replace the entire cable run, terminating
with new N-type connectors.
If resistance is immeasurable (high impedance):

Typically reasons are connectors not terminated correctly or cable cut.
Check the cable and connectors at both ends for defects or for reasons that
would cause the problem. Remeasure DC resistance, with the outer end
still connected to the ODU. If still immeasurable impedance, replace the
entire cable run, terminating with new N-type connectors.
