1.5 Product Advantages - Multiservice Aggregation Layer
2 1 12
Product Overview
Multiservice aggregation layer

The capacity to use Ethernet as a common transmission layer to transport any kind of traffic,
independently by the type of interface. Ethernet becomes the convergence layer.
9500 MPR-A aggregates and carries over a COMMON PACKET LAYER: TDM 2G, 3G and IP/Ethernet. This
allows sharing of common packet transmission infrastructures, regardless of the nature of carried traffic.
Due to the nature of Ethernet, each service can be discriminated based on several parameters like
quality of service.
Mapping different access technologies over Ethernet is achieved by standardized protocols like circuit
emulation and pseudo-wire.
R99 - original standard for UMTS WCDMA based networks

HSDPA (High Speed Data Packet Access) - add on to R99/UMTS networks which adds a shared high speed
downlink packet channel
ISAM (Indexed Sequential Access Method) - a method for indexing data for fast retrieval
WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) - telecommunications protocol that provides
fixed and mobile Internet access

1.6 Product Advantages - Service Awareness
2 1 13
Product Overview
Service awareness
Traffic handling and quality management, queuing traffic according to the type of service assigned,
independently by the type of interface.
Service awareness means the ability to discriminate the different traffic types carried over the converged
Ethernet stream. The traffic flow can be composed by DS1, DS3, and/or IP/Eth, coming from different
sources, and therefore having different requirements.
For instance DS1 traffic from a 3G base stations can carry voice (high priority, real time service) and
data (lower priority and possibly non real time with high variability load, such as internet browsing,
music download or video streaming).
Service awareness is what allows identifying the traffic types, and in case of the non real time variable
bit rate one, optimize the band with overbooking of the radio scarce resource.
PWE3 - Pseudowire emulation edge to edge

1.7 Product Advantages - Packet Node
2 1 14
Product Overview
Packet node
The 9500 MPR offers a packet-based Microwave Service Switch (MSS) with a 10 Gigabit backplane to
interconnect short-haul and long-haul radio transceivers into a multidirectional, multi-reach packet node
that functions as a single network element.
The MSS can also provide Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) and metallic uplinks.
Packets can be transported over Ethernet or PDH in any direction, avoiding service aggregation
bottlenecks in terms of capacity, service types and interface types.

1.8 Product Advantages - Service-driven Adaptive Modulation
2 1 15
Product Overview
Service-driven adaptive modulation

Fully exploit the air bandwidth in its entirety by changing modulation scheme according to the propagation
availability and allocate transport capacity, discriminating traffic by different services, only possible in a
packet based environment.
Traffic with high priority will always have bandwidth available, like voice (deterministic approach).
Broadband traffic is discriminated by Quality of Service (QoS) dynamically, with modulation scheme
changes driven by propagation conditions.

1.9 Radio Link Aggregation

Radio LAG is supported on the ODU300, MPT-HC, and MPT-HL, and groups
a set of ports so that two network nodes can be interconnected using
multiple links to increase link capacity and availability between them.
When aggregated, two or more physical links operate as a single logical
link. Traffic capacity is the sum of the individual link capacities.
This doubling, tripling or quadrupling of capacity is relevant where more
capacity is required than can be provided on one physical link.
Link aggregation also provides redundancy between aggregated links. If a
link fails, its traffic is redirected onto the remaining link, or links.
Radio link aggregation supports
the following services:
TDM2TDM
TDM2ETH
Ethernet services
ASAP
Alarm Severity Assignment Profile
2 1 16
Product Overview
ASAP

1.9 Radio Link Aggregation [cont.]

Radio LAG size is restricted to the following:
up to three Radio LAG ports per NE
up to six MOD300/ODU300 ports per Radio LAG port
up to six MPT-HC ports per Radio LAG port
up to four MPT-HL ports per Radio LAG port
TMN inband should be cross-connected with only one radio interface of a
radio LAG port
To add a radio port to a Radio LAG port, the radio port must not be
provisioned as a member to any of the following:
cross-connection
VLAN
port segregation
PPP RF enabled on the radio channel
2 1 17
Product Overview

1.10 Cross-Polarized Interference Cancellation (XPIC)

Cross-Polarized Interference Cancellation (XPIC) provides the ability to
operate two links on the same radio channel frequency, one using
vertical polarization and the other using horizontal polarization.
Supported on the MPT-HC only
XPIC typically provides 20 dB improvement in polarization discrimination.
The actual improvement depends on the native discrimination provided
by the antenna alignment and any reduction of this discrimination caused
by atmospheric effects (fading)
XPIC supports the following radio configurations:
Single 2x(1+0) XPIC
Double 2x(1+1) HSB co-channel XPIC
4x(1+0) XPIC
XPIC supports the following:
Frequency: L6, U6, 7, 8, 11, 15, 18, and 23 GHz
Modulation: 128 and 256 QAM
Radio channel spacing: 30, 40, and 50 MHz
2 1 18
Product Overview

1.11 Quality of Service

The Quality of Service (QoS) feature assigns the priority for Ethernet
packets according to the selected QoS mode. See Figure 6-9 for an
overview of the QoS implementation
QoS provides eight internal queues to support different traffic priorities.
The QoS function assigns Ethernet packets to one of the eight egress
traffic queues
QoS classification determines the method the system uses to assign
packet priority
QoS classification criterion is assigned at the NE level and applied to all
radio and Ethernet ports
The system supports the following QoS classification modes:
Disabled

The peripherals are independent modules connecting the CSM-E/Core-E to a set of different external
interfaces, through a high speed serial bus.
Available peripherals:
32 x DS1 local access modules
2 x DS3 local access modules
Ethernet packets are interfaced on the CSM-E/Core-E and EAS/P8ETH modules.
The PDH incoming traffic is converted into Ethernet packets and then sent to the Ethernet switch. Packet
overhead is optimized before it is to be sent through the air.

Product Overview
The 9500 MPR supports MEF8 structured agnostic emulation TDM services. The MEF8 (Metro Ethernet
Forum) Processing Block receives a bit stream from the DS3 interface and performs the following
functions:
Packetizes the incoming data to a pre-determined payload size
Encapsulates the payload into a packet format specified by the MEF8 standard for the emulated data
type. Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) and Circuit Emulation Services (CES) Control Word headers are
added.
CES is a bi-directional service consisting of 2 symmetrical data flows in opposite directions. For each
direction of the emulated circuit, there is a pair of CES interworking functions (IWF). A Metro
Ethernet Network (MEN)-bounds Ethernet frames and forwards them into the network. The
corresponding TDM-bound IWF extracts the TDM data from the Ethernet frames and recreates the
TDM service.
Adds the Ethernet header

Virtual LAN (VLAN) - A logical grouping of two or more nodes which are not necessarily on the same
physical network segment but which share the same IP network number. This is often associated with

The CSM-E/Core-E consists of microprocessor and Ethernet switch circuits. The Ethernet Switch provides a
Quality of Service (QOS) mechanism to control all streams.
If QoS is disabled, all traffic inside the switch has the same priority. This means that for each switch port
there is only one queue, first in, first out (FIFO)
Three QoS settings in GUI are available as follows:
Disabled
802.1 priorities are set based on IEEE 802.1D-2004 Annex G User Priorities and Traffic Classes that
defines seven traffic types and corresponding user priority values.
DiffServ priorities are based on one of eight tags, each identifying one of eight traffic types and
corresponding user priority values.

Consists of a module cage and backplane which provides two slots dedicated
for 2 MPT-HL transceiver cards
Main Side (Channel 1)
328
Spare Side (Channel 0)
It features high transmitter output power and an all-indoor design.

The MPT-HL shelf provides space for one or two radio transceivers that support 1+0 and 1+1 configurations.
The MPT-HL shelf provides the RF filter and antenna interface.
1 or 2 transceiver modules
Waveguide filters
RF switch and RF cable assemblies
RF Frequency Range: 5.8 GHz, lower and upper 6 GHz, 10.5 GHz, and 11GHz
The microwave unlicensed band link with Ethernet transport may be used for IP Node B backhaul in the
city where they want to remove the leased line (sometimes called the last mile backhaul).
The MSS-8 can be configured with a maximum of eight optional MPT-HL modules; four protected modules,
eight non-protected modules, or a combination of protected and non-protected modules.

The CSM-E/Core-E platform, with multiplexing and symmetrical cross-connection functions, is able to manage
different radio directions, with the possibility to add-drop tributaries in case of local PDH or Ethernet
accesses.
The 9500 MPR-A supports up to 12 RF links for operation on the same or different frequency bands using the
MSS-8 Unit.
Supports the 5.8 GHz unlicensed band, lower and upper 6 GHz licensed bands, 10.5 GHz band, and 11 GHz
band.
9500 MPR-A supports a mix of non-protected, protected, or diversity operation for single link, repeater, or
star radio configurations.

The MPT-HL will support multiple protection configurations to allow the customer to select the right mix of
cost and reliability for a particular application.
The 1+0 configuration means that the traffic is unprotected.
In the 1+0 configuration each MPT-HL functions independently of the other MPT-HL instances in the
system.

This configuration requires one frequency and one antenna.
Each MPT-HL Transceiver receives a signal from the antenna through a coupler.
Each MPT-HL Transceiver provides a transmit signal to a transmit relay switch.
The transmit relay will select one of the MPT-HL Transceivers as the source of the transmit signal sent
to the coupler. The transmit relay is controlled by a General Purpose I/O (GPIO) pin on the spare MPTHL Transceiver.
The transmit relay will default to the main instance if the spare is down.

Space Diversity configuration requires one frequency and two antennas.
Each MPT-HL Transceiver receives a signal from a dedicated antenna.
Only one of the antennas is used for transmission.
Each MPT-HL Transceiver provides a transmit signal to a transmit relay switch.
The transmit relay selects one of the MPT-HL Transceivers as the source of the transmit signal sent to the
main antenna.
The transmit relay is controlled by a GPIO pin on the spare MPT-HL Transceiver.
The transmit relay defaults to the main instance if the spare is down.
By spacing the two antennas a few wavelengths apart, the two MPT-HL Transceivers will experience
uncorrelated fading and can switch between the received signals in a hitless manner to provide a greater
degree of availability over the radio link.

1+1 Frequency Diversity

Frequency Diversity configuration requires two frequencies and one antenna.
Each MPT-HL Transceiver receives a signal from the same antenna.
Each MPT-HL Transceiver provides a transmit signal to the same antenna.
Frequency Diversity transmits two different frequencies and receives two different frequencies from the
remote-radio. It will select the best signal received.
Frequency Diversity relies on the fact that fading is different at different frequencies:
The transmit relay will select one of the MPT-HL Transceivers as the source of the transmit signal sent
to the main antenna.
By using different frequencies, the two MPT-HL Transceivers will experience uncorrelated fading and
can switch between the received signals in a hitless manner to provide a greater degree of availability
over the radio link.

The ODU300 includes a waveguide antenna port, Type-N female connector for the ODU cable, BNC
female connector (with captive protection cap) for RSSI access, and a grounding stud.
The ODUs are designed for direct antenna attachment via a mounting collar supplied with the
antenna.
ODU polarization is determined by the position of a polarization rotator fitted within the mounting
collar.
A remote ODU mounting kit is available as an option. These may be used to connect an ODU to a
standard antenna, or to a dual-polarized antenna for co-channel link operation.
ODUs are fixed for Tx High or Tx Low operation.
Where two ODUs are to be connected to a single antenna for hot-standby or frequency diversity
configurations, a direct-mounting coupler is used.
ODUs are frequency-band specific, but within each band are capacity-independent up to their design
maximums.





The ODU mounts directly to an Antenna: Non-protected.






RF couplers are available for equal or unequal loss operation:

Equal loss is nominally 3 dB
Unequal loss is nominally 1/10 dB.

Discovery of local NE by Network Element Overview (NEtO)

A simple two-way hand shake discovery protocol is implemented between NEtO application and local
connected NEs. Local connected Network Element (NE) means NE connected to NEtO using Local
Ethernet Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) port through a point-to-point Ethernet cable
or Ethernet network. In any case the NE and NEtO belong to the same IP subnet.
The discovery protocol made the following information available to NEtO regarding the local connected NE:
z Local IP Address
z NE Type
z NE Version
z NE Site Name
Selecting the NE, NEtO can automatically start the supervision without the need to provision the Local IP
address manually.

The master can be provisioned to get sync clock from:

z DS1 Port
z external clock (Sync-In Port) from customer provided equipment
The slave radios can be provisioned to receive the sync clock from one of two sources:
z clock recovered by the radio receiver (Radio Port)
z sync clock from another radio in the network (Sync-In Port)
z
Normally at a repeater, the sync clock is received over the RF path and recovered by the radio
receiver.
A typical slave terminal uses the clock from an adjacent radio.
Sync Switching
z A revertive switching feature is a provisioning option that restores the sync clock to the original source
when the alarm on the primary source is cleared.
z If revertive switching is not selected, the secondary sync source will continue to provide sync clock, and
if the secondary source fails, must be manually switched to the primary source.

z If (automatic) ATPC is enabled the screen will replace (static) RTPC fields with ATPC fields.
z When Rx power is equal to low remote ATPC Rx Threshold the ATPC algorithm starts to operate.
ATPC must be off to perform Fade Margin tests.

The ATPC function automatically increases or decreases the transmit output power upon request from the
opposite terminal. The opposite terminal constantly monitors Receive Signal Level (RSL), receive signal
quality, and aggregate Bit Error Rate (BER) of the receive signal.
When ATPC is enabled, the transmit output will remain at it's lowest level until a fade occurs (or a receive
circuit alarm is detected). When the change in RSL is detected at the receive end, a command is sent to
the transmit end to increase power in 1 dB steps to it's highest level. After fade is over, the receive end
commands transmit power to decrease in 1 dB steps to the lowest level.
The ATPC range (high and low limits) is variable, determined by link distance, link location, and link
frequency. When ATPC Enabled is checked, the range values are shown in parenthesis (minimum maximum) following ATPC Range.
When ATPC is not enabled the transmit output will always operate at it's highest level.
Remote Transmit Power Control (RTPC) allowed transmitted power range.

Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP) switching is a protection mechanism for Ethernet ring topologies.
An ERP topology is a collection of Ethernet Ring Nodes forming a closed physical loop. A minimum of two
and maximum of sixteen Ethernet Ring Nodes are supported per ERP topology. One ERP topology is
supported per NE.
The fundamentals of ring protection switching architectures are loop avoidance and the utilization of
learning, forwarding, and address table management.
Up to two ERP instances are supported per ERP topology.
Ethernet Ring Links connect two adjacent Ethernet Ring Nodes participating in the same ERP Topology.
The Ethernet port used to construct the Ethernet Ring Link is called a Ring Port.

The NE can be managed by the OS or by the Craft Terminal. To control the choice of the OS or the CT, a
Local Access Control (LAC) is available.
z If the LAC is access denied, it means that the OS manages the NE and the CT is not allowed to modify
the NE configuration (it can only read). In the view, the icon with a key symbol has a circular shape.
z If the LAC is granted, it means that the CT is allowed to manage the NE. In the view, the icon with a
key symbol has a rectangular shape.
z If the LAC is requested, it means that the CT has requested a permission from the OS and is waiting
for a replay.

However, the OS does continue to provide a certain number of services. These services include:
z
Alarm reception and processing
z
Performance processing
z
Switching back to the OS access state
Select the Supervision pull down menu. Then select the Requested option from the Access State cascading
menu.
If the OS does not answer in a predefined time, it is assumed that the NE is in the Craft access state and
can be managed by a Craft Terminal.
z The key symbol icon on the management states of the NE view indicates whether the NE is managed by
a craft terminal or by the OS.
z Local Craft Terminal access is denied on recovery phase after a loss of communication of the NE. When
the communication with the NE is lost, the OS automatically recovers the communication and forces the
state existing before the loss of communication (therefore, Craft Terminal access can be denied or
granted).

2.1 Cross-Connections [cont.]
4 2 17
The cross-connections between slots and between slot and Ethernet user ports are realized with a Layer-
2 Ethernet Switch inside the Core-E unit.
The decision made by the switch to forward the received packet is based on the destination MAC
address.
Each DS1can be cross connected independently.

DS1 can be cross connected to any of the following interfaces:
Radio interface
Ethernet interface
Each DS1(board #, port #) must be associated to an unique signal flow ID.

TDMoEth is a system that is used to transport TDM and Ethernet traffic through Ethernet.
TDMoEth provides:
Transparency of signaling protocols (CAS, PRI, SS7, )
Investment Protection migration to IP without compromising rich PBX features (evolutionary approach
with no fork-lift upgrades)
Channel aggregation and multiplexing that improves resiliency to packet loss

Maintains clock synchronization and Low Latency
There is not a way to directly provision the TDM2TDMoEth mode. TDM2TDMoEth is a way of using the
9500 MPR. Just provision the TDM2TDM to a Ethernet port.

6.5 Inband TMN VLAN

Inband TMN VLAN port allows the user to manage an 9500 MPR-A NE
using a general Ethernet port from a central location (NOC).
Inband TMN messages reach the 9500 MPR-A over general user electrical
Ethernet port 3 and optical Ethernet port 5 on the CSM-E/Core-E card.
Either electrical Ethernet port 3 or optical Ethernet port 5 can be used
simultaneously for both general Ethernet traffic and TMN traffic.
Inband TMN provisioning applies to both electrical Ethernet port 3 and
optical Ethernet port 5.
TMN Inband TMN VLAN port interface and Port#4 TMN Ethernet interface
should not be connected to a network at the same time.
The Inband TMN Ethernet interface:
requires its own IP address and sub-network mask

uses the same MAC address as Port#4 TMN Ethernet interface
does not require Port#4 TMN Ethernet interface to be provisioned
requires a unique VLAN ID (2-4080)
An optional OSPF area can be assigned, and must be provisioned prior to

provisioning the Inband TMN Ethernet interface. Supports IP static
routing.
4 2 54
This is another method of monitoring alarms.

6 Ethernet Ports
6.6 Static Routing

Usually used at radio WAN border routers to specify a default gateway to:
use for reaching external networks when the external network does not use a
supported dynamic routing protocol.
control the exchange of dynamic route information between the radio WAN
and the external network.
Static routing only supports provisioning a single route to a given

destination at any radio. Route metrics and redundant routes are not
supported. This limits the useful WAN topologies to linear and tree
configurations when using Static Routing.
Maximum of 25 static route entries per radio.
To minimize the number of static route entries required, the radio network
addressing plan should allow for maximum route aggregation.
Static routes directed out the PPP interfaces use the interface name as the
route destination; rf, rptr, or (front) ppp.

Cross-connections are nailed-up connections. Cross-connections are not required for the Ethernet switch to
pass traffic. Even if your Cross-connection screen does not show any connections you may still have
traffic across your Ethernet switch.
Layer 2 Switching
An address table is built based on incoming MAC address.
If the address is not known the frames are sent to all ports.
If the address is in the table, frames are only sent to the correct port.

When provisioning multiple radio links on the same path use port segregation to avoid any Ethernet loops.
Double-click on the promiscuous port. Uncheck all ports to be segregated. Select OK then Apply.
This option sets the segregation state to exclude the port from exchanging frames with a given list of
ports.
In this way a segregated port can exchange frames only with a non-segregated port.
Port segregation is used to:
save bandwidth (prevent collisions and broadcasts)
save resources on the node and on the ports
improve the security and the privacy of the transmission

The switch ports in a private VLAN domain have special characteristics. One key characteristic is port
segregation within an isolated VLAN.
Isolated or segregated ports are typically used for those endpoints that only require access to a limited
number of outgoing interfaces.
An endpoint connected to an isolated port will only possess the ability to communicate with those
endpoints connected to promiscuous ports.
Endpoints connected to adjacent isolated ports cannot communicate with one another.
If you attempt to setup a cross-connection between ports that have been segregated, you will get a
warning that the port is segregated.
Press Alt-W. Notice the screens are different if any ports are segregated.

9.1 P2P VLAN Cross-Connections

More than one cross-connection can be drawn if sufficient ports are
configured
Cross-connections describe path to use.
Segregation describes path not to use.
Each cross-connection must be identified with a separate flow ID

The Point to Point (P2P) VLAN cross-connect allows the user to direct
VLAN-tagged traffic between specified Ethernet and radio ports
P2P VLAN must have a MAC Address of 000000000000
Nailed up cross-connections use a physical MAC Address of the device
attached to the NE.
4 2 72
Point to Point VLAN

The Point to Point (P2P) VLAN cross-connect feature allows the user to direct VLAN-tagged traffic between
specified Ethernet and radio ports. Rather than directing all traffic to and from the cross-connected
ports, the feature directs Ethernet traffic where the VLAN tag matches the cross-connect Flow ID. (Flow
ID matches VLAN ID.)
When making the connection for a P2P VLAN flow, the user should enter a MAC address of all 0's
(000000000000). P2P VLAN cross-connects will direct matching VLAN-tagged Ethernet traffic to the
cross-connected ports regardless of the destination MAC address in the Ethernet frames.
Ethernet traffic entering the cross-connected port with a VLAN tag matching the flow id will be directed
only to the port on the other end of the cross-connect. Traffic will not be flooded. This will also take
precedence over any MAC address learning for VLAN-tagged traffic that matches the flow id in the crossconnect.
Ethernet traffic entering the cross-connected port with no VLAN tag or VLAN tags that do not match the
flow id specified in the cross-connect will flood to all ports until MAC address learning takes place. The
P2P VLAN cross-connect will have no effect on this traffic.
VLAN tagged Ethernet traffic that enters a port will be dropped if the VLAN tag matches the flow id of a
cross-connect that is on a different port.

A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a single broadcast domain.

By default all ports on the Ethernet switch are in a single VLAN until they are divided into multiple VLANs.

7.1 Radio Facing Circuit Loopback

Radio Facing Circuit Loopback mode is an internal loopback that uses the
receive data interface signal on the MPT-HC Transceiver and replaces the
signal to be transmitted by the MPT-HC Transceiver and sends the
receive signal back to the far-end MPT-HC Transceiver.
Only possible to enable on the aggregate traffic
Loop and continue process
MPT-HC Transceiver transmit traffic will be dropped
When this loopback is activated the expected behavior is as follows:
TDM2TDM and TDM2ETH flows are forwarded back to Core card with
source and destination MAC addresses swapped.
y For TDM2ETH flows, where the ECID Tx and ECID Rx are the same value, the
loopback works.
y For TDM2ETH flows, where the ECID Tx is different form ECID Rx, the loopback
fails.

Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) High Power Timeout indicates that the local transmitter was
operating continuously at full power for 5-minutes, and the transmitter power was reduced to its minimum
power setting.
ATPC Loop indicates loss of ATPC command path between far end transmitter and local receiver.
TxMute indicates a manual or automatic mute command has been executed. Using Craft Terminal, release
TxMute.
Incompatible PTX indicates the configured transmit power value is not supported by the MPT.
MPT-HL not Responding indicates a loss of communications with the MPT. Replace MPT-HL module. If
MPT-HL still not responding, replace communication link between MPT-HL and CSM-E/Core-E or
EAS/P8ETH.
MPT-HL Replacement Notes

Always verify component state again before removal.
In an unprotected radio, performing the MPT-HL removal and replacement procedure will cause loss of
traffic.
Remove battery power to MPT. Disconnect cable from SFP. Loosen four shelf mounting screws and
remove MPT.
When replacing MPT-HL slowly push replacement MPT-HL into shelf making sure contact is made with
backplane connectors.
After replacement, verify MPT-HL alarms are cleared and MPR is capable of carrying traffic.
