1. GENERAL
This section provides information on the NEC PASOLINK 7-38 GHz 2/4/
8/16 x 2 MB and/or 2 x 10/100Base-T(X) LAN signals transmission
digital microwave radio system. Included herein are notice for system
operation, system configuration, system performance, RF channel
assignment, and alarm and control.

1.1 Notice (Operation)

1. To prevent accidental IDU power switch lever movement,
the power switch lever is locked. When set the power
switch to on/off, it must be pulled out power switch lever
knob to unlock the switch lever.

2. After turning ON the equipment, wait at least 10 seconds

or more before turning it OFF again. Repeatedly turning
the power ON and OFF within a short interval may cause
the IDU to fail.

3. Do not disconnect I/F cable between the IDU and the

ODU in power ON condition, to avoid damaging the IDU
and ODU. Do not connect/disconnect the I/F cable with
IDU power ON, turn IDU power OFF before connecting/
disconnecting the I/F cable.

4. Persons performing servicing must take necessary steps to

avoid electro-static discharge which may damage the
modules on the IDU or cause error. Wear a conductive
wrist strap connected to the frame ground (FG) terminal
on the front of the equipment shelf. This will minimize
static build-up during servicing.

5. In back -to-back connection, the interface conditions of

the PM CARD must be matched between two IDUs. Then,
check the setting of the interface if it is RS-485 or RS-
232C before connecting the cable.

6. Do not turn on the power of the IDU leaving cable

connection between the PC and RA PORT of the IDU.

7. When the radio frequency is changed in maintenance, first,

set frequency in the opposite station. If you set radio
frequency in the local station at first, you can not change
radio frequency of the opposite station using PC menu at
the local station. Because the opposite station can not
receive the control signal to be set radio frequency.

1-1
GENERAL ROI-S04604

8. The equipment is applied only SEL V (Safety Extra-Low

Voltage) power supply, do not apply a voltage that varies
sharply. This may cause abnormal operation.

9. In 1+1 system, when neither No.1 nor No.2 channel is

working, first set the OPE SEL switch to the desired
(No.1 or No.2) position and power on the selected MD
Unit or set the OPE SEL switch to neutral (Auto) position
and power on both MD units.

In 1+1 system, when either No.1 or No.2 channel is

working, set the OPR SEL No.1-No.2 switch on the IDU
to the working channel side, then, turn on the power
switch of the not working channel.

10. In 1+1 system, when demounting the ODU from the

antenna direct mounting HYB, mount the attached
SHORT PLATE to the demounted port of the HYB to
avoid RF power leaking from the hybrid and for
waterproofing.

11. In 1+1 system, to avoid occurrence of bit errors due to

microphonic properties, when installing the standby ODU
on to the antenna direct mounting HYB, protect the
working ODU from mechanical knocks.

12. In 1+1 system, when the SW UNIT is replaced with a

spare, the service is interrupted.

13. Before the start of maintenance, including operation of

the OPR SEL SW on the front panel of the equipment,
select the equipment to maintenance mode using the LCT.

After all operation for maintenance have been completed,

perform MAINT OFF setting.

14. Before connecting the I/F cable between the IDU and
ODU, using circuit tester, check that the resistance of the
I/F cable between center conductor and insulation is
more than 100 MΩ.

15. When the LAN INTFC is used, the domestic is an

environment where the use of broadcast radio and
television receivers may be expected within a distance of
10 m of the apparatus concerned.

16. 16x2MB bit rate is not supported on MDP-17MB-3/4A.

1-2
ROI-S04604 GENERAL

17. It is recommended that you connect the IDU to ODU

after the TX/RX frequency and TX power control setting
has been set on the IDU.

This process is most important for the following ODUs that

may be emitted TX power if you set the channel number to
"0ch" which is not defined (excepting 13/26/38 GHz band)
by the Radio Frequency Assignment.

Code No. of Corresponding ODU:

H0738 (7 GHz), H0739 (8 GHz), H0330 (13 GHz),
H0331 (15GHz), H0332 (18GHz), H0333 (23 GHz),
H0334 (26 GHz), H0335 (38 GHz)

18. Note that the setting of the DEM Invert is important.

The default value of the DEM Invert is off, though it is
required to set to on depending when the frequency band
and shift frequency are used as shown in following table.
When corresponding ODU is connected with the IDU, the
change of setting is necessary via LCT. For the setting
procedure, refer to 3.4 Equipment Setting and Monitoring
in 3. OPERATION in Section III MDP Equipment

5. ALARM AND CONTROL

The simplified alarm and control functions are described in accordance
with the alarm indication and reporting, and network management.

5.1 Alarm Indication and Reporting

Alarm indication and reporting function are provided with the IDU. Alarm
signals initiated by detection circuits on the ODU are sent to the IDU.
Therefore the alarm indicator for the ODU is located on the front panel of
the IDU. The alarm indication for the IDU is also indicated by the
corresponding alarm indicator on the IDU. When the equipment is
operating normally, the alarm indicators on the IDU stay unlit. When an
abnormal condition occurs, the related alarm indicator is lit and a remote
alarm report is made (see Table 2-3 in MDP Equipment Description).

5.2 Network Management (Optional)

Configuration of network management system (NMS) is shown in Fig. 5-2.
Network management system (PNMS) is connected with NMS/RA of IDU,
and network management terminal (PNMT) is connected with LA PORT in
IDU to provide monitor and control of the PASOLINK equipment and
monitoring of actual microwave link. Communication with the remote
station units is performed using one of DSC channels.
