 Store Routing Table
As a Layer 3 router, the ALCplus2 equipment uses a Routing
Table to route the management traffic through its ports (RADIO,
LCT, LAN and Line EOC). - Destination: is the Network
address to send /receive
Management interface management traffic.
- Net Mask: Network Mask of
the destination network.
Store routing table is - Hop: is the next or local
used for create new one physical port that connect at
the Destination's net.
Routing table is - Interface: defines the mngt
used for view the port through which the packet
routing is sent to the Hop address.
- Protocol: specifies how the
routing row has been inserted.

Local: command inserted automatically by the

ALCplus2’s controller. (Cannot be delete)

Delete SD Files : Delete all files present in the SD card memory.
Create Boot SD :
• Create folder structures necessary and copy the files (system Version + Backup) from Flash to SD in order to
activate the function “mirroring” of the data.
• It’s a creation “HOT” because in this way SD memory works holding synchronized the data of backup.
• SD contains the last update data of the equipment.
• The utility is to extract the SD from “Main Controller Unit” damaged, in order to insert it, in an other controller of
the same type and to load automatically System Version and Backup in the Flash (function must be enable).
Create Sw DWL SD :
• Create folder structures necessary and copy the files (Only system Version) from Flash to SD in order to have a SD
“Master copy” of the System Version on Flash.
• It’s a creation “COLD” because after the generation of the copy it doesn’t make nothing else.
• The utility is to extract the SD, in order to insert it, in another controller of the same type and to load automatically
the “Master copy” in the Flash (function must be enable).
Enable automatic restore (all) : Enable the function to load automatically from SD to Flash Boot SD or Dwl SD.
Enable automatic restore ( Data only) : Enable the backup, but not the System Version, to being loaded automatically from
SD to Flash (only BootSD).
Disable automatic restore : Disable the function “ load automatically” from SD to Flash (Boot SD and Dwl SD).
Enable “Not running” Sw delete : Authorize, after the loading of the System Version on Flash, the automatic cancellation of
the bench not running “bench loaded” (Only for Dwl SD).
Disable “Not running” Sw delete : Prohibited, after the loading of the System Version on Flash, the automatic cancellation
of the bench not running “bench loaded” (Only for Dwl SD).
Force automatic restore : Command to force the procedure of “loading” from SD to Flash (Only for BootSD).
Copy Sw from SD : Command to force the procedure of “loading” from SD to Flash (Only for Dwl SD).

Who can generate alarms in a radio link system?
1 ) Propagations of MicroWave
- Interference (in a Link radio turn off the Ptx module (local & remote) and monitoring the
Prx during the day, active Local Link ID)
- Desalign of Antenna (check positions and screws, maximize the Voltage BNC connector
present in ODU)
- Obstacle in the 1° Fresnel Zone (tree, tower building, etc …)
- Using the “Performance Monitoring” Prx, Ptx, BER measuring
- Particular condition (heavy rain, stratification of different air temperature, flat surface)
2 ) Radio Hardware faulty
- Alarms due of a wrong configurations or actual status of the Radio
- Faulty (using P.R.B.S. function as a E1 generator and Loops, to check the cables
interruptions and measure BER into different modules)
3 ) External Event
- No constant 48 Volt Power supply during the day/night
- Very High temperature, humidity inside waveguide.
- IDU operating range -5° to +45° C; survival temperature range -10°C to +55° C
- ODU operating range -33° to +55°C; survival temperature range -40°C to +60°C
- IDU operating humidity 95% at +35°C
- ODU Waterproof according to IP65 environmental class
88
 Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting is performed with :
- Check value Power of Transmitter and Receiver.
- Reading Current Alarms and Alarm History labels and trying
to figure out which part of the equipment is affected, in the
following pages there is a description of alarms.
- Disable All Manual Operations.
- Verifying E1 streams with PRBS inserted into one equipment
and received on others equipment and check BER Measure.
- Verifying the correct initialization of the Local and Remote
Radio.
- HW Restart.
- Factory default
- Replace with a spare part.

Real-time capacity.
It is used in 2G and early stages of 3G networks.
TDM in air
Hybrid Microwave:
IDU  Native TDM + Native Ethernet
 It supports the modulation scheme from QPSK to 256QAM and the AM function, and
Real-time features high bandwidth.
TDM Native TDM
 It is used in scenarios where TDM and IP networks coexist at the initial stage of the
Real-time
Packet transition from 2G networks to 3G networks. At this stage, voice services are primary and
ETH Native
data services are secondary among mobile services. Adding the packet switching capability
to the original TDM microwave equipment is undoubtedly the preferred solution at the
Hybrid in air transition stage of the mobile transport network evolution. In this way, investment in
original equipment can be protected and existing voice services can be transported.

IDU Packet Radio:

 It is pure packet microwave.
TDM PW Packet  It supports the modulation scheme from QPSK to 256QAM and the AM function, and
based features high bandwidth.
ETH
 It is used at the All-IP stage of 3G networks. The pure packet microwave is the best
choice for a carrier who needs to build a new mobile IP transport network.

based on the air interface capacity. When the E1 service capacity or Ethernet service capacity is set to 0, only PDH
services or data services are transmitted.
 SDH mode
Supports 1xSTM-1 or 2xSTM-1, and does not support the AM function. The "Bandwidth/Modulation Mode" for the
1xSTM-1 air interface capacity is 28M/128QAM; the "Bandwidth/Modulation Mode" for the 2xSTM-1 air interface
capacity is 56M/128QAM.
 Hybrid (STM-1+Ethernet) mode
Supports the AM function. The STM-1 service capacity and Ethernet service capacity can be dynamically set based
on the air interface capacity. When the STM-1 service capacity or Ethernet service capacity is set to 0, only data
services or STM-1 services are transmitted. "Bandwidth/Modulation Mode" is 128QAM or higher for 28M, 64QAM or
higher for 40M, and 16QAM or higher for 56M.

 Installation Method — Classification

There are two methods of mounting the ODU and

the antenna: direct mounting and split mounting.
Adapter piece

pyright © 2006 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 168
 Installation Method — Split Mounting

The split mounting method is Adapter piece

adopted when a double-polarized

antenna or big-diameter and single-
polarized antenna is used.

In this situation, a hybrid coupler

can be mounted to enable two
ODUs to share one feed boom.
In the case of split mounting, ODU
split mounting brackets are used to Split mounting with the single-polarized antenna
fix the ODU/hybrid coupler onto the
pole; the ODU/hybrid coupler and
the antenna are connected with the
flexible waveguide.

 Installation Method — Direction Mounting
The direct mounting method is
normally adopted when a small-
diameter and single-polarized antenna Adapter piece

is used.

In this situation, if one ODU is configured

for one antenna, the ODU is directly
mounted at the back of the antenna. If two
ODUs are configured for one antenna, an
RF signal combiner/splitter (hereinafter
referred to as a hybrid coupler) must be
mounted to connect the ODUs to the
antenna.

 Set IF Channel Bandwidth to 28M or 56M according to

the network planning file. Set IF Channel Bandwidth to
56M if high-power ODUs are used.
 Set the polarization directions of microwave links. It is
recommended that you install the two IFX2 boards that
form an XPIC workgroup in the slots that are in the same
row or column of the chassis. Set the IF port on the IFX2
board that is housed in the slot with a smaller slot number
to Polarization direction-V and the IF port on the other
IFX2 board to Polarization direction-H.
 Set Link ID-V (link ID for the vertical polarization direction)
and Link ID-H (link ID for the horizontal polarization
direction) according to the network planning file. These
two parameters must be set to different values, but Link
ID-V must be set to the same value at the two ends of a
link and Link ID-H must be set to the same value at the
two ends of a link.
 Set Transmit Power(dBm). Transmit Power(dBm)
indicates the maximum transmit power of an ODU, and
therefore its value must not exceed the rated power range
supported by the ODU. This parameter specifies the
upper threshold of the transmit power range of an ODU.
After an ATPC adjustment, the transmit power cannot
exceed the value of this parameter.
 Set Transmit Power(dBm) and Transmission
Frequency(MHz) according to the network planning file.

 If an ODU supports only one type of T/R spacing, set T/R Spacing to the default value 0.000. Transmission Status of
the ODU takes its default value unmute.
 Set ATPC parameters according to the network planning file. Note that before the antenna alignment, ATPC Enabled
must be Disabled.

 Timeslots for TDM Services on IF Boards
 When TDM services need to be transmitted on a microwave link, you need to configure cross-connections between the
service timeslots on service boards and the service timeslots on IF boards. The timeslots for the TDM services on the IF
boards are closely related to the microwave service type and microwave capacity of the IF boards.
 TDM microwave
 If an IF board works in PDH microwave mode and the microwave capacity is nxE1, the first to nth VC-12 timeslots
on the IF board are available and correspond to the first to nth E1 timeslots that are transmitted over microwave. For
example, if the microwave capacity is 4xE1, only the first to fourth VC-12 timeslots in VC4-1 on the IF board are
available. If a cross-connection is configured between an E1 port on a service board and the second VC-12 timeslot
in VC4-1 on the IF board, the E1 services that are received through the E1 port are sent to the second E1 timeslot
that is transmitted over microwave. If the microwave capacity is E3, only the first VC-3 timeslot in VC4-1 on the IF
board is available and corresponds to the E3 channel that is transmitted over microwave.
 When the IF board works in STM-1 mode, all the timeslots in VC4-1 on the IF board are available and correspond to
the timeslots in the VC-4 that is transmitted on microwave.
 Hybrid microwave
 If an IF board works in Hybrid microwave mode and the E1 Capacity is set to n in Hybrid/AM Configuration, the
first to nth VC-12 timeslots on the IF board are available and correspond to the first to nth E1 timeslots that are
transmitted over microwave. For example, if the E1 capacity is 75xE1, only the first to sixty-third VC-12 timeslots in
VC4-1 and the first to twelfth VC-12 timeslots in VC4-2 on the IF board are available. If a cross-connection is
configured between an E1 port on a service board and the second VC-12 timeslot in VC4-2 on the IF board, the E1
services that are received through the E1 port are sent to the 65th E1 timeslot that is transmitted over microwave.

Copyright © 2011 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 206
 Configuring Cross-Connections for TDM Services
 When 1+1 protection or 1+1 linear MSP is configured for a TDM service, you need to configure the TDM
service only on the working channel. When N+1 protection is configured for TDM services, you need to
configure the extra service on the protection channel if the extra service needs to be transmitted on the
protection channel.

 Configuring Cross-Connections for TDM
Services
Set the level of the new service. If the service is an E1 service or a
data service that is bound with VC-12 channels, set this parameter
to VC12. If the service is a data service that is bound with VC-3
channels, set this parameter to VC3. If all the services in a VC-4
pass through the NE, set this parameter to VC4.

Set the slot, port of the slot, VC-4 over the port, and timeslot in the
VC-4 where the service source is located. If you set Source to a
tributary board, Source Port and Source VC4 are unavailable. Set
these parameters according to the network planning file.

Set the slot, port of the slot, VC-4 over the port, and timeslot in the
VC-4 where the service sink is located. If you set Sink to a tributary
board, Sink Port and Sink VC4 are unavailable. Set these
parameters according to the network planning file.

Configuring the Parameters of Ethernet Ports

 The general attributes of Ethernet ports define the physical-layer information, such as the port mode,
encapsulation type, and maximum frame length.

For ports that are being used, set Enable Port to Enabled. For ports that are not used, set Enable Port to Disabled.
If you set Port Mode to Layer 2, Encapsulation Type can be set to Null, 802.1Q, or QinQ. If you set Port Mode to Layer 3,
Encapsulation Type can be set to 802.1Q only. In this case, the port can be used to carry tunnel services.
 Encapsulation Type:
 For P2P E-Line services and IEEE 802.1d bridge-based E-LAN services, set Encapsulation Type to Null.
 For VLAN-based E-Line services and IEEE 802.1q bridge-based E-LAN services, set Encapsulation Type to 802.1q.
 For QinQ-based E-Line services and IEEE 802.1ad bridge-based E-LAN services, set Encapsulation Type to Null if
the UNI port allows access of untagged frames; set Encapsulation Type to 802.1q if the UNI port allows access of only
tagged frames; set Encapsulation Type to QinQ in the case of the NNI port.
For an Ethernet port that is connected to the external equipment, set Working Mode to a value the same as that of the
external equipment (Generally, Working Mode of the external equipment is set to Auto-Negotiation.) For Ethernet ports within
a network, set Working Mode to Auto-Negotiation.
When jumbo frames are transmitted, set Max Frame Length(byte) according to the actual length of the jumbo frames.
Otherwise, it is recommended that Max Frame Length(byte) takes its default value.

Configuring the Parameters of IF_ETH Ports

 Under Advanced Attributes, set MAC Loopback and PHY Loopback and query the port rate.
 If you set Speed Air Interface Transmission at L2 to Enabled, the Layer 2 Ethernet packets received by the
IF_ETH port are compressed for higher transmission efficiency. When the L2 packet header compression
function is available for the ISU2/ISX2, it is recommended that you set Speed Air Interface Transmission at
L2 to Enabled for both ends of the link.
 If you set Speed Air Interface Transmission at L3 to Enabled, the IP packets received by the IF_ETH port
are compressed for higher transmission efficiency. When the L3 packet header compression function is
available for the ISU2/ISX2, it is recommended that you set Speed Air Interface Transmission at L3 to
Enabled for both ends of the link.
 This operation is mandatory when you need to enable the port self-loop test and automatic loopback shutdown
functions or to enable the broadcast packet suppression function.
 Set Loopback Check, Loopback Port Shutdown, Enabling Broadcast Packet Suppression, and
Broadcast Packet Suppression Threshold according to the requirements.
Suggestions to configuring the Enabling Broadcast Packet Suppression parameter:
Enabling Broadcast Packet Suppression specifies whether to restrict the traffic of broadcast packets
according to the ratio of the broadcast packets to the total packets. If a broadcast storm may occur on the
equipment at the opposite end, set this parameter to Enabled. For E-LAN services, it is recommended that
you set this parameter to Enabled.
This parameter is applicable to E-LAN services in the ingress direction.
 When the IF_ETH port transmits an Ethernet service that tolerates some bit errors, such as a voice service or
a video service, you can set Error Frame Discard Enabled to Disabled.

 Configuring LAGs
 Link aggregation enables one or multiple links that are connected to the same equipment to be aggregated into a LAG.
The aggregated links are considered as a single logical link at the MAC layer. The LAG increases bandwidth and
improves availability of radio links. This operation is mandatory if a LAG is configured for protection of FE/GE ports or if
the Hybrid microwave uses the N+0/XPIC configuration.
① ④ LAG Type needs to be set to the same
value at both ends. Generally, LAG Type
is set to Static.
If a LAG is configured only to implement
protection, it is recommended that you
set Load Sharing to Non-Sharing for
the equipment at both ends. If a LAG is
configured to increase bandwidth, it is
recommended that you set Load
Sharing to Sharing for the equipment at
both ends.
It is recommended that System Priority
takes its default value. This parameter is
valid only to a static LAG.

②
 Configure Main Board, Main Port, and Selected Standby Ports according
to the network planning file. It is recommended that you set the main and
standby ports consistently for the equipment at both ends.
③  Ensure that the IF ports in a LAG have the same hybrid/AM attributes.

Self-Learning MAC Address specifies whether
the MAC address self-learning function is enabled.
If you set Self-Learning MAC Address to
Enabled, the Ethernet private network can learn
the source MAC addresses of packets and
automatically update the MAC address forwarding
table.

For IEEE 802.1ad bridge-based E-LAN

services, you need to connect UNI ports and
then NNI ports to the IEEE 802.1ad bridge.
Connect NNI ports to the bridge. To connect NNI ports to the
bridge, select the required board from the Board drop-down
list, select ports on the board in Available Port List, and
click the double-right-arrows button to add the ports to
Selected Port List.
Set S-VLAN(1,3-5) of each port according to the network

DS domain.

Configuring QoS
During creating a DiffServ (DS) domain, you can create the mappings for a new DS domain and configure the ports that use this
mapping.
Point-to-point transparently transmitted services support mapping the PHB service classes based on the DSCP type only. The
default DS, however, maps the PHB service classes according to the CLAN priorities. Therefore, you need to configure a new DS.
①

The OptiX RTN 900 has a default DS domain, for which Mapping Relation ID is 1 and
Mapping Relation Name is Default Map. Before another DS domain is created, all the ports
belong to this default DS domain. You can modify the default DS domain.
The MPLS trust type can be changed only in the default DS domain.

domain.

Configuring QoS
Set Mapping Relation ID to a value between 2 and 8.
Set Mapping Relation Name according to the network
planning file.

Set the packet type. The packets trusted by the OptiX

RTN 900 are the C-VLAN, S-VLAN, and IP DSCP packets
that contain the C-VLAN priority, S-VLAN priority, or DSCP
value. By default, the untrusted packets are mapped to the
BE service class for best-effort forwarding. The P2P
transparently transmitted E-Line service supports only the
mapping from DSCP packets to the PHB service class.

Configure the mappings between the priorities of ingress

packets and PHB service classes.

Configure the mapping between the priorities of egress

packets and PHB service classes.

Configuring QoS
By changing the ports that use the DS domain, you can add or delete a port that belongs to the DS
domain and set the packet type over the port.

Configuring QoS
A port policy is required when you need to apply for other QoS policies than DS and port shaping for a specific port.
①
Set Policy ID and Policy Name.

Configure queue scheduling, policy weight, and queue shaping at the egress port.
Set the queue scheduling policies according to the network planning file. Note that
except for the default value, the value of the WRR scheduling algorithm and the value
of the SP scheduling algorithm cannot be interleaved. That is, except for the default
value, Grooming Police After Reloading can only be changed from SP to WRR
according to the queue priorities in a descending order (CS7-BE).
Set Policy Weight. The weight indicates the percentage of the bandwidth resources
② obtained by the WRR queue.
Bandwidth Limit specifies whether the traffic shaping function is enabled for the
③ PHB service class queues in the egress direction. CIR, PIR, CBS, and PBS can be
set only when Bandwidth Limit is set to Enabled. ④

traffic classification packets are mapped
according to the mapping configured in
the DS domain.
Set Bandwidth Limit to enable or
disable the CAR function in the ingress
direction.
CIR, PIR, CBS, and PBS are available
only if Bandwidth Limit is set to
Enabled.

In the EGRESS section, you can enable or

disable the shaping function in the ingress
direction. CIR, PIR, CBS, and PBS are
available only if Bandwidth Limit is set to
