Intended use of equipment
Evolution Series is a point to point microwave radio. It is typically used for interconnection of
access points in private or public networks. It is used both in Ethernet and TDM based networks.
Note! Use of this equipment requires a separate frequency license to be applied for by the
operator.
WARNINGS!
High Frequency Electromagnetic Fields
Exposure to strong high frequency electromagnetic fields may cause
thermal damage to personnel. The eye (cornea and lens) is easily exposed.
Any unnecessary exposure is undesirable and should be avoided.
In radio-relay communication installations, orderly setup for normal
operation, the general RF radiation level will be well below the safety limit.
In the antennas and directly in front of them the RF intensity normally will
exceed the danger level, within limited portions of space.
Dangerous radiation may be found in the neighbourhood of open
waveguide flanges or horns where the power is radiated into space.
To avoid dangerous radiation the following precautions must be taken:
During work within and close to the front of the antenna; make sure
that transmitters will remain turned off.
Before opening coaxial - or waveguide connectors carrying RF
power, turn off transmitters.
Consider any incidentally open RF connector as carrying power,
until otherwise proved. Do not look into coaxial connectors at closer
than reading distance (30 cm). Do not look into an open waveguide
unless you are absolutely sure that the power is turned off.
ESD
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.
These precautions include personnel grounding, grounding of work bench,
grounding of tools and instruments as well as transport and storage in
special antistatic bags and boxes.
Laser
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
The optical interface must only be serviced by qualified personnel, who are
aware of the hazards involved to repair laser products.
When handling laser products the following precautions must be taken:
Never look directly into an open connector or optical cable
Before disconnecting an optical cable from the optical transmitter,
the power should be switched off. If this is not possible, the cable
must be disconnected from the transmitter before it is disconnected
from the receiver.
When the cable is reconnected it must be connected to the receiver
before it is connected to the transmitter.
EARTHING
This equipment has a connection between the earthed conductor of the d.c.
supply circuit and the earthing conductor.
Lithium battery warning!
Caution. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturers instructions.
Avertissement de batterie de lithium!
Attention: Il y a danger d'explosion s'il y a remplacement
incorrect de la batterie. Remplacer uniquement avec une
batterie du mme type ou d'un type recommand par le
constructeur. Mettre au rbut les batteries usages
conformment aux instructions du fabricant.
NOTE!
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
System Overview
Introduction
The Evolution Series microwave radio is designed to transmit data rates from about 6 Mb/s to 600Mb/s, in the
frequency bands 5 GHz to 38 GHz. The configuration of capacity and modulation is software configurable, giving an

Features
The ODU can be mounted directly on the antenna, both in unprotected and protected configurations. The ODU can
also be mounted on the antenna pole, using a short flexible waveguide to the antenna.
The Universal IFU can easily be expanded from a single channel system up to a traffic node handling up to 8
ODUs. The Universal IFU contains the line interface, baseband processing and multiplexing, management and
radio interfaces.
The optional embedded ADM/DXC function provides multiplexing for user traffic into the STM-1/OC-3 signal. In
traffic node systems, the digital cross connect (DXC) routes the user traffic between the various link directions
without the need for cabling or external multiplexers. Chain, ring, star and mesh topologies are supported, with
individual choice of unprotected or protected (SNCP) traffic circuits. The multiplexer supports a mix of traffic types,
such as E1, T1, E3, DS3 and Ethernet.
The equipment configuration, licences and the operating software version, can be stored on the memory key
available for plug-in, at the front of the equipment or downloaded to a computer. When a new Supervisory Unit is
inserted, the equipment configuration can then easily be restored to the radio equipment.
System description
The Evolution Series microwave radio system comprises an indoor part (Universal IFU), and an outdoor part (ODU)
and an antenna. The Universal IFU and ODU are interconnected using a coaxial cable which carries the transmit
and receive user traffic, management communication between the Universal IFU and ODU, and the power supply
to the ODU. In protected configurations, two cables are used; one for each ODU.
Interface Unit (IFU) description

The Evolution Series Universal IFU is a 1RU high modular unit, containing 9 plug-in slots for various modules. The
modular architecture with plug-in slots enables a high degree of flexibility, easy upgrading/changing configurations
and maintenance.
The Universal IFU Basic Frame is common in all configurations and up to four IFU frames can be stacked together
by an IFU connection panel.
The lower left position contains the Supervisory Unit. The Supervisory Unit is handling the configuration of all
the system units as well as reporting system status to the NMS system.
The rightmost position houses the FAN unit, handling the ventilation and temperature management of the IFU
frame.
The Line Interface slots house the various user traffic interfaces and optional DXC mux unit. The PDH and
Ethernet traffic interfaces are full height and cover the upper Aux/Serv. position as well.
The two Radio Interface slots house the RIU unit(s). The RIU unit provides connection to the ODU and
supplies power to the IFU Basic Frame with plug-in units and the ODU.
The upper Aux/Serv. slots house any Auxiliary or Service Channel units, such as Alarm Unit, Wayside Traffic
Unit, 64 kb Data Channels unit and EOW unit.
All units can be replaced in the field. Non traffic carrying units can be replaced without interrupting the service.
OutDoor Unit (ODU) description

The ODU hardware is capacity and modulation independent. It consists of a transceiver and a diplexer. The
transceiver is tuneable over the whole frequency band, both high and low part. The diplexer determines the sub-
band coverage. The ODU may be mounted directly to the antenna. In HSB and 1+1/2+0 configurations an RF-
coupler is used when connecting the ODUs to a single antenna interface. A pole mount interface is also available.

of 4 IFUs and 1 DXC Frame can be stacked and connected together. Each IFU and DXC frame is 1U (Unit) high,
and can be mounted in both an ETSI and a 19 rack solution as well as standalone. The IFU handles
SDH/SONET overhead termination for one or two radio channels depending on radio system configuration.
Supervisory Unit overview
Return to IFU overview
The SU is responsible for configuration and alarm collecting from all the boards in one IFU system. The maximum
IFU system may consist of 5 IFUs that can be controlled from only one SU located in an arbitrary IFU slot. The
SU communicates with all boards and functions needing SU awareness.
Connectors
USB
The USB device connector (USB type B connector) is used to open a text based console interface to the SU. This
interface can be used for basic SU configuration, for instance setting the IP address. The USB device interface
complies with USB v1.1
The USB host connector (USB type A connector) can be used for connecting a USB disk on key, to perform
software update. This host connector can also be used as a RS232 interface using a USB to RS232 converter.
The USB host interface complies with USB Rev 2.0 full-speed (12Mbit/s).
Ethernet
The Ethernet Port A (ETH1) is the SU management interface port. The Web server, FTP, SNMP and Telnet
server are available from this port.
The Ethernet Port B (ETH2) usage is configuration dependent:
When the SU is configured for 100/10 Mbit/s Ethernet over the radio hop, port B is the physical interface for
this connection
Else port B is equivalent with port A. Port A and Port B together with the SU CPU form a 3-port Ethernet
switch

IFU
Mounting in Rack
The IFU can be mounted in both ETSI and 19" racks. The only difference between the ETSI and 19" IFU is the mounting
brackets. These brackets are easily changed (3 screws) to fit the actual equipment rack.
IFU with 19" brackets
IFU with ETSI brackets
Note! The IFU is ventilated through vent holes in the IFU sides and back panel. It is important that these holes are not complete or partly covered,
to ensure proper air flow through the IFU interior. When mounting in rack, make sure that cables or other obstacles do not block the air flow.
Single and Dual Channel Systems

In systems that require one IFU only, the IFU can be mounted directly in the equipment rack by means of four screws (torque
10 Nm).
Note! Make sure that the mounting brackets are properly secured to the IFU sidewall before mounting in rack (torque
1.25 Nm).
Three and Four Channel Systems
These systems require 2 IFUs. The IFUs have to communicate with each other and must be interconnected. A Sub-rack that
can contain two IFUs is available for this purpose. Connectors for interconnection are placed on the back plane of the Sub-
rack. These connectors correspond with connectors on the IFUs.
Sub Rack
The illustration below shows the mounting sequence.

Note! Make sure that the mounting brackets are properly secured to the IFU sidewall before proceeding (torque 1.25
Nm).
1. Mount the Sub-rack in the Main-rack by using two screws in the upper mounting holes.
2. Mount the lower IFU in the Sub-rack by sliding it on the bottom guides and carefully enter the back plane connectors.
Note! Do not use excessive force. Make sure that the connectors enter smoothly.
Fasten the IFU with four screws (torque 10 Nm).
3. Remove the two screws in the upper Sub-rack mounting holes.
4. Mount the upper IFU in the Sub-rack by sliding it on the lid of the lower IFU and carefully enter the back plane connectors.
Note! Do not use excessive force. Make sure that the connectors enter smoothly.
Fasten the IFU with four screws (torque 10 Nm).
Note! It is important that the lower IFU is mounted in the Sub-rack before the upper IFU is mounted.
ODU and Antenna mounting
Note! The installation, maintenance, or removal of antenna systems requires qualified, experienced personnel. This installation
instruction has been written for such personnel. Antenna systems should be inspected once a year by qualified personnel to verify proper
installation, maintenance and condition of equipment.
Nera disclaims any liability or responsibility for the result of inproper or unsafe installation practices.
Warning! Use protective wear to avoid skin contact with the pre-applied conductive grease on threads. Keep away from mouth. Wash
thoroughly after use with liberal amounts of liquid soap and rinse with water. Do not store open near food or food sources. Dispose of empty
or partially filled containers according to governmental regulations for petroleum products. Contents oil, clay and zinc dust.
The following procedure describes the principle of mounting the equipment on a pole.
The mounting sequence depends on available lifting equipment and the site architecture. Sometimes it is more convenient to assemble the
ODU and antenna on the ground and lift as one unit, for placement on the antenna tower or platform, but the priciple of assembling will be the
same.
Note! Do not use the Transceiver handles to lift an assemled ODU.
Polarization
Antennas are delivered from the factory with default vertical polarization.
Change of polarization is easiest to perform before the antenna is mounted to the antenna mount.
Procedure for polarization change Antenna
Tip! After mounting and coarse alignment of the antenna, the Waveguide Interface should be
aligned vertically or horizontally by means of a spirit level, to ensure that the signal has correct
polarization direction.

Tip! After mounting and coarse alignment of the antenna, the Waveguide Interface should be aligned vertically or horizontally by means
of a spirit level, to ensure that the signal has correct polarization direction.
Procedure for polarization change Coupler

The Coupler is default delivered with vertical polarization. Follow the procedure below to change polarization to horizontal.
Default polarization Vertical

Pole Mount
Pole mount (Remote Mount) is required for 6 GHz and dual polarized system configurations.
The antenna is mounted according to Step 1 and 2 in Direct Mount description above.
In a dual polarized system, a dual polarized antenna is required. Step 1 below is an example on how to change antenna interface on a
specific antenna. Other antennas may have other solutions.
Antenna Adjustment
The antenna mount can be adjusted 25 in elevation and 10 (fine) in azimuth.
Note! To avoid damaging the adjustment bolts, do not try to adjust the antenna (elevation/azimuth fine adjustment bolts) without
slackening the four corresponding fastening bolts.
Elevation Adjustment
Azimut Adjustment
Antenna Alignment
The purpose of the alignment procedure is to obtain maximum signal level
and cross polarization discrimination by aligning two antennas in opposite
directions.
The antennas should be properly mounted (follow the manufacturers
mechanical alignment instructions) and polarized in the same direction. It
must be possible to transmit from one antenna and receive on the other. The
best way is to have a transmitter and a receiver connected to both antennas.
Note: In order to transmit and receive signals, the initial system settings
must be performed through the built-in web-server; Evolution Manager.
Procedure for Coarse alignment
Adjust both antennas to correct directions as precisely as possible by using
magnetic compass or optical sight.
Procedure for Fine alignment
Fine adjustment is achieved by sending a signal from one of the antennas.
On the receive side various methods may be used.
a) Measure the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) voltage
from the transceiver
b) Read the received level on a spectrum analyser
c) Measure the received power with a power meter
This procedure describes antenna alignment by use of RSSI:
The RSSI Voltage is available at the
BNC-connector on the
Transceiver.
Operate the Evolution Manager to
manually switch the equipment to
Ch1.
Mute the transmitter at the local
station to exclude interference
from this source.
A voltmeter must be connected to
the RSSI connector, and
preferably monitored by the
person who is adjusting the
antenna. Adjust alternatively in
azimuth and elevation until the
received signal reaches maximum
level (minimum RSSI voltage
level). Try a few times in each
direction.
The antenna should be turned so
much that the first side lobes are
seen, thereby ensuring that the
antenna is aligned to the main
lobe.
When the antenna is correctly
adjusted, secure all bolts. Monitor
the instrument during this
operation and if necessary realign
the antenna.
When adjustments are completed
on the first antenna, the same
procedure is performed on the
opposite antenna.
Cross Polarization Adjustment
After alignment of the antenna, the antenna feed must be adjusted
horizontally and vertically. Loosen the flange which secures the feed to the
reflector. Align the feed by using a spirit level. Secure the flange.
Final Control
When all
adjustments
are
performed,
check that
the input
level
corresponds
with the one
theoretically
calculated. If
the input level is too low, adjust the antennas once more. Finally, ensure that
all bolts and ensure that nuts are properly mounted and secured.

General Description
The element management system consists of an embedded web server that serves
pages to any web client through the management TCP/IP network, as shown in the
figure below.The network operator connects to the element and its Element Manager
by opening a web browser on his computer, and then select the URL corresponding to
the element (http://<ip address>). It is also possible to connect to the element by
opening a web browser from the Nera Networks management system "NetMaster".
The connection between the web browser (e.g. MS Internet Explorer, Mozilla) and the
embedded web server is based on the internet standard protocol, http (Hypertext
Transfer Protocol).
The communication between the web browser and the embedded web server is a
client-server communication, where all traffic is based on requests from the client (e.g.
GET a web page, POST data and get page). The web server will not send anything to
the client unless requested to do so.
The web browser will display the element manager web pages, containing
configuration, performance, fault and security information. To display the pages, the
web client requests pages from the web server as shown in the figure above.
Depending on what page is requested, the web server forwards the request to the file
system, Configuration Manager, Fault Manager, Security Manager and Performance
Manager modules. In turn, these modules will respond by providing the requested
page to the web server, which then forwards the page to the web browser.
Therefore, the embedded element management system is not just the embedded web
server itself, but consists of all the modules mentioned above.
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
A schematic view of the graphical user interface is shown in the figure below. The
main elements in the framework are
Header, including logo and top-level menu
Navigation, with clickable equipment view
Content frame, which displays information as a function of both the top-level
menu choice and the selected piece in the navigation frame
Footer, including copyright information
A brief description of the main elements is given in the following sections.
Header
The heading consists of the Nera logo on the left, the Evolution equipment logo in the
middle, and a lower part containing the equipment menu navigation status and a top
level menu. Top level menu items and their resulting actions are listed in the table
below. A particular framework state variable, the DisplayMode, is set and changed
based on selection of some of the menu items.
Navigation frame
The navigation frame on the left of the web framework is a visual equipment view,
created dynamically from housekeeping information from the element. It allows the
user to click anywhere on the image of the equipment, and display information about
that part in the contents frame. When the user clicks on any part of what is shown in
the navigation frame, a framework state variable, the SelectedEquipment, is set or
changed.
Content frame
The two framework state variables, DisplayMode and SelectedEquipment, determine
what will be displayed in the content frame, as shown in the table below.
For example, if a user selects Current alarms from the top menu, and then click on
Slot 2, the content frame will display current alarms for Slot 2 (only). Furthermore, if
the user then selects IFU 1 from the equipment navigation page, the content frame will
display all current alarms for this particular IFU. If the user then selects Config. from
the top menu, the content frame will display IFU level config. information.

Radio Protection Switching
Radio Protection Switching (RPS) operations for N+1and Hot Stand-by systems are managed by the Supervisory Unit This RPS module interacts with other
system hardware resources to achieve automatic protection switch operations based on switch criteria inputs from the individual radio channels. This module also
supports manually controlled switch operations and status reporting.
Hot Standby configurated systems
Switch Section (Hot Stby)
Hot Standby system configurations implement local equipment protection within the network element (radio station). A protection switch section is then comprised of the dupli-
cated transmit- and receive-equipment required to serve one antenna. This switch section is monitored and controlled by a single RPS module. The two equipment paths are
identified as Ch. 1 and Ch. 2. The protection switch state is either Ch. 1 active or Ch. 2 active. Each traffic direction (transmit and receive) has its own set of switch criteria.
The system may be set up as Unidirectional (radio transmit switch and baseband receive switch operates completely independent of one another) or Bi-directional (radio
transmit switch will follow the baseband receive switch if there is no conflicting criteria, and vice versa).
Bi-directional
Bi-directional means that assertion of a criterion in one or the other of the two traffic directions will cause the affected channel to be switched to standby mode for both of its
traffic directions. Restoring it to its working mode will not be permitted until the active criteria for both directions are cleared.
Uni-directional
Uni-directional means that the two traffic directions for a switching section are controlled individually and independent of each other (treated as two independent switch sections).
Typical 1+1 HSB switch scenario (bidirectional)

If Tx criteria are activated the RPS controls the mute/unmute functions on the two transceivers accordingly. The RPS is to protect the Rx direction for that same channel,
as long as the channel is free of errors.
If the RPS detects an Rx criterion, it shall protect the associated channel, and revert back to bidirectional mode when th Rx criterion disappears. Switch on Tx side will
not be performed.
If there are active Rx criteria on both Rx channels the most severe criterion is to be acknowledged. This means that the automatic HSB switch actually operates in
unidirectional mode as long as conflicting criteria are active. When there are no longer conflicts between Tx and Rx criteria the switch state should be changed to bidirec-

Typical 1+1 HSB switch scenario (unidirectional)
The RPS controls the Rx switch based on Rx criteria information as for a 1+1 FD automatic switch.
If Tx criteria is activated the RPS controls the mute/unmute functions on the two transceivers accordingly.
Manual Requests
The responsibility of the manual switch function is to set the requested worker channel in standby state in both traffic directions by sending mute/unmute commands to the
tranceivers and performing an Rx switch
Hot Standby with Dual Baseband

Regarding protection on Rx side there is one exception to the description above:
If the HSB Dual Baseband option for HSB systems is specified, the RPS will refrain from doing any Rx switching. In this case the external equipment (mux) will duplicate the
line traffic input onto two input ports, and the RR equipment will duplicate the RF signal onto two Rx branches (receiver-demodulator-baseband) and make both data streams
available on the two output ports. The RPS will only switch on the Tx side.

Switch Section (Freq. Div.)
1+1 FD protection switching
An automatic switch procedure is initiated on the receive side based on a set of switch criteria acquired from the hardware resources.
Aligned switching will be performed if possible.The active channel which is to be protected, is polled for data alignment status. When the data stream from the
protector demodulator is aligned with the data stream from the active channel demodulator, an errorless switchover is performed.
In case the alignment process fails, a forced switchover may be performed dependent upon active criteria and configuration settings for the RPS system (if a
continuity criterion is active initially the RPS will not check for alignment but immediately select the forced switchover option)
When the criteria for protecting the channel are no longer active the channel will be restored if the RPS is set to revertive mode.
Function Button: Set Setting of Switch Section parameters
Pull down Menus: Protection Alternatives: Enabled, Disabled
Switch mode Alternatives: Revertive mode

An active channel set to standby will be restored upon deassertion of all criteria This should be the
default mode of operation.
Non-Revertive mode
An active channel set to standby will continue to be in standby mode even if all criteria are deasserted,
until another active channel needs protection or the protecting channel becomes degraded, in which
case a restore operation is performed.

Switch Type Alternatives

Nolock
The switch operation will only be executed if no other channels are degraded to the level defined by
"No Lock Revert Limit". If another channel's degradation reaches this level later, the manual operation
is suspended and the channel is restored to its regular state. The manual request will be reactivated
when no other channels are degraded to this level.
Lock
All automatic switch criteria is overridden by this manual request, and the manually switched channel
will not be reverted by any event other than a manual restore request.

When new software is downloaded to the element it will initially be set in inactive state (Active no).
Click the "Switch software" button to swap the Software Package. The system will perform a warm start when software is swapped.
Note! If only one software package is present on the Network Element, only one table will be visible in "Overview" in the screenshot above.
Function Buttons: Switch Software Swap between the two available software packages.
Reset Software Performs a warm reset of the NE software
Note! Bit error may occur when software packages are switched.
Note! It is recommended that you clear the file cache in your web browser after a software switch. The reason for this is to make sure that the browser
receives the correct files.
Complete state
If all the required files are present and the checksum is OK, the software package is in Complete state.
Compatible state
Each software package contain a list of hardware compatibility requirements. This consists of a list of hardware modules with an accompanying version range. If
all the detected modules in the system are found in this list, and their versions fall within the specified ranges, the software package is compatible.
Software Download
A software release generally consists of several ".tar" files. When a new software version is downloaded to the NE, it is recommended to start with the ".tar" file
with the lowest number (e.g. "SW-EVOULUTION-APP-R1A00_1.tar" and then "SW-EVOULUTION-APP-R1A00_2.tar" etc). Follow the instructions on the screen.
If there is an inactive software package on the NE already, this software package will be overwritten.
Dependent on the system configuration it is not always necessary to download all ".tar" files in the actual software release. After downloading the first file, you will
be prompted for the next file to download, if required. When all required files are downloaded, the following message will be displayed:
The software was downloaded successfully and is now in complete state.
The downloaded software is still inactive. Activation of new software is performed from the "SU SW Versions" page.

ODU, Power
The ODU provides a set of RF power control functions:
RF input alarm thresholds can be set such that an alarm is raised when the input level exceeds the upper or lower limits.
ATPC (Automatic Transmit Power Control) is a function for effectively reducing the interference probability in the network. When ATPC is enabled, the output
power from the transmitter is automatically controlled. The "ATPC" alarm is generated if ATPC stops functioning. Note that ATPC must be available on both
sides of the hop in order to be used. The table "Recommended ATPC Input Reference Level" gives the correct ATPC Input Reference Level as a function of
payload, channel spacing and radio frequency.
If ATPC is not enabled, the transmitted output level can be set (MTPC). The transmitter can also be muted.
Note! In XPIC configurations it is highly recommended that the ATPC function is enabled.
The values in the example below are typical and will vary according to the calculated values from the system propagation.
Input Field: MTPC
Output Level ATPC is disabled and constant manual output level is selected.
ATPC Output level is automatically adjusted according to the specified ATPC settings.
Input Reference Level -The desired input level. If ATPC is enabled on the remote transmitter, the remote transmitter will
regulate its output power such that the received input level at this receiver is equal to the reference
level.
See table below for recommended Input Reference Level.
Max. Output Level -The Transmitters maximum output level (dBm)
Default Output Level -The Transmitters default output level (dBm). The output power to be used if ATPC regulation loop fails
(The "ATPC" alarm is raised).

start times of these measurements are also predefined:
15Min measurements start at h:00:00, h:15:00, h:30:00 and h:45:00, where h denotes hour.
24Hour measurements start at each midnight (00:00:00).
Month measurements start at midnight at each month transition.
Note that the NE is using GMT time, such that the measurement start time is relative to GMT time and not to your PCs local time.
For 15Min measurements the NE keeps the 16 latest periods. For 24Hour and Month measurements only the latest period is kept.
Note that the running performance measurements will be reset due to a SW restart on the corresponding board/unit. E.g. restarting a Line Interface Unit will reset
all periodic measurements on that unit.
Measurement Types (Source)
B1 One byte of the SOH frame is allocated for regenerator section error monitoring. This B1 byte contains a Bit Interleaved Parity 8 (BIP-8) code
using even parity. The BIP-8 is computed over all bits of the previous STM-1 frame after scrambling and is placed in byte B1 of the current
frame before scrambling.
Parity: The number of parity errors detected.
Block: The number of blocks in which one or more parity errors are detected.
B2 Three bytes of the SOH frame is allocated for multiplex section error monitoring. The B2 bytes contain a Bit Interleaved Parity 24 (BIP-24) code
using even parity. The BIP-24 is computed over all bits of the previous STM-1 frame except for the first three rows of SOH and is placed in the
B2 bytes of the current frame before scrambling.
MS-REI The M1 byte of the SOH frame is allocated for multiplex section remote error indication. The M1 byte conveys the count of interleaved bit block
errors that have been detected by the BIP-24 (B2) at the remote multiplex site.

Fault Finding
These procedures describe the most common fault-situations.
It is important to find the defective unit in order to minimize time consumption for fault finding and traffic
downtime. This is normally done based on alarms, meter readings and looping from Evolution Manager.
It is impossible to make a block schematic that covers all possible faults, therefore the following block-diagrams
only cover the most common problems.
Note! The fault-finding needs to be performed by skilled engineers.

It is also important to have system-knowledge and skills in the use of Evolution Manager tools like looping-
facilities, alarm and performance logs.
Potentional problems are also related to installation of IFU-ODU cables and connectors. Water penetration,
lightening, or mechanical stress, may give IFU-ODU cable-problems. Sometimes it is difficult to find the reason
for the problem since a faulty cable, connector, power supply and different ODU-faults are giving exactly the same
alarm-picture in Evolution Manager. Normally when the link connection is lost, the alarm-information from the
remote station is also lost.
Check if the IFU-ODU cable is shorted or open, by measuring the resistance on the IFU-side of the cable. It is
also recommended to measure -48 V on the IFU connector as well as on the ODU side of the cable.
Whenever unscrewing the connector on the ODU, make sure that it is always reconnected properly and protected
from water penetration, by using the rubber sleeve or vulcanizing tape.

Front Panel Alarm Diagnostics

This is a simple procedure based on Unit-front LED and alarm status.
The alarm status can be monitored from the Evolution Manager, Fault page.
No units in the Evolution Series equipment is intended for field repair. A faulty unit is to be replaced with a new
unit according to the requirements in the "Unit replacement" chapter.
Note! Check all cable connections and that all units are completely seated in the IFU Basic Frame housing
before further troubleshooting is performed.
A red LED indicates alarm status on the unit. A blinking red LED indicates that the speciffic unit is placed in
wrong slot according to "Unit Housekeeping".
Complete LED description for each unit is described in section General/System Overview/IFU Overview.
In order to show all plug-in and AUX units 3 different IFU configurations are shown.
Click on the Unit below which has red LED alarm indication.
Note! The RIU has two front LEDs. Click on the LED with alarm indication.

Unit Replacement
The new unit must have exactly the same unit code (Code:) as the unit to
be replaced.
The unit revision (Rev:) is on the format "R1A" (revision 1A). The new unit
must have the same or higher digit (1) on the revision tag to be compatible
with the one to be replaced. The letter (A) is not significant for
interchangeability. See a typical label below:
The Supervisory Unit stores a copy of the configuration and SW for the
different units. If a unit is replaced, the configuration will be automatically
downloaded from the Supervisory Unit to the new unit.
Note! 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 are made. These precautions include personnel
grounding, grounding of work bench, grounding of tools and instruments as
well as transport and storage in special antistatic bags and boxes.
IFU Basic Frame Replacement
Note! When a complete IFU Basic Frame is replaced, the traffic
through this IFU will be broken.
1. Unplug the power connector(s) on the RIU unit(s).
2. Disconnect all cables on the IFU front carefully. Mark all cables to
ensure that the cables can be reconnected to the correct terminals on
the new IFU.
3. IF the IFU is mounted in an equipment rack, unscrew the IFU from the
rack (four screws).
4. Pull the IFU out carefully.
5. Remove all plug-in units except the Fan unit (the FAN unit is part of the
IFU Basic Frame).
Replacement
1. Replace the plug-in units in the spare IFU Basic Frame.
2. Insert the new IFU in the Equipment rack (if rack mounted) carefully.
Note! If the IFU is part of a system with more than 2 channels, make
sure that the plate, covering the IFU rear connectors, is removed and
slide the IFU to enter the corresponding connectors in the IFU shelf,
without the use of excessive force.
3. Fasten the four screws.
4. Reconnect the front cables.
5. Reconnect the power cable(s).
IFU Units
Note! If the Radio system is protected (1+1, 2+1 etc.), manually
switch the protection switching to the functioning channel (see
Configuration/RPS/Manual Switch) before a RIU carrying traffick, is
removed from the IFU. Otherwise the traffic can be broken.
For SU replacement, see paragraph SU Replacement.
1. Unplug all cables on the unit to be replaced.
2. Unscrew the two "finger" screws that secure the unit to the IFU. A
screwdriver may be used if necessary to unscrew the screws.
3. Remove the unit carefully from the IFU by pulling the screws.
Replacement
1. Insert the new unit carefully. Ensure that the unit enters the guides
inside the IFU and gently press the unit to enter the internal connectors
without the use of excessive force.
2. Fasten the two screws with your fingers. Do not use a screwdriver.
3. Reconnect all cables.
SU Replacement
In addition to the steps in the paragraph above, it is important that the
correct system configuration is reloaded from a backup file when the SU is
replaced by a spare unit. (See Operation Section; Evolution
Manager/Feature Description/Configuration/Backup)
