local CFM terminal (IDU+ODU).
LCD display is constantly backlight and is able to display 2 lines of 16 symbols
each line.
LCD operates in two modes, “Status display” and “Setup”, please refer to Flow
Chart 1, page 56.
Keypad consists of 4 buttons:
Button Description
ENTER ‘ENTER’ button is used

- to switch from “status display” to “setup” mode.
- to confirm the choice of selected value or parameter, or to enter submenu;
CLEAR ‘CLEAR’ button is used

- to cancel the choice and to move to previous (upper) menu level;
- to switch from the root menu of the “setup” to “status display” mode.
↑ ↓ Up/Down buttons are used:

- To scroll through menu;
- To choose parameter, and its value.
3.1.1 “Status Display” Mode of the IDU LCD Management

Interface
Once the IDU is powered up, it automatically enters “Manual Display” mode,
displaying two parameters at a time statically (use up/down arrow buttons to
scroll through parameters). These parameters are listed in the Table 8.
15
Table 8. Parameters displayed in “Status Display” mode
Parameter Description
Tx=14518.500MHz Parameter indicates Tx frequency of the Radio.
Rx=15246.500MHz Parameter indicates Rx frequency of the Radio.
TxPower=+20dBm Indicates current output power, see Table 9 for more
information.
Rx= OK Indicates various conditions of Rx signal from ODU:
“OK” - IDU receives acceptable signal from ODU;
“Low” - received signal level at IDU is too low for
proper operation;
“Error” - indicates internal fault in ODU receiver;
“Loopback” - radio loopback mode is switched on.
RxLev= -66dBm Indicates the level of the received signal.
Cable=–5 dB Indicates signal attenuation in IDU-ODU cable, values of
0 … -20 dB provide proper operation of IDU.
TxOut= Ok Indicates operation status of ODU transmitter:
“Ok” indicated proper operation;
“Error” indicates internal fault in ODU transmitter,
please contact sales representative or manufacturer.
TxPLL= Ok Indicates operation status of ODU Tx Syntheser Loop
(PLL lock):
“Ok” indicates proper operation;
“Error” indicates internal fault in ODU transmitter.
RxPLL= Ok Indicates operation status of ODU Rx synthesizer Loop
(PLL lock):
“Ok” indicated proper operation;
“Error” indicates internal fault in ODU receiver.
ODU t= 23C Indicates ODU internal temperature.
Humidity=Low Indicates humidity level inside ODU,
“Low” indicate acceptable moisture levels;
“High” indicate too high level of humidity, condensing.
Restart= 99 Indicates number of ODU management controller
restarts since counter was reset on power up.
No data from ODU Indicates connectivity status between IDU and ODU:
RF Cable – OFF “OK” - indicates acceptable level;
“Short” - indicates short circuit in cable;
“Off” - indicates too low power consumption by ODU.
This is most likely due to the brake in the cable. If the
cable is intact, the ODU is faulty. While ‘RF Cable = Off’,
the IDU does not receive any data from ODU and will
not display any information related with ODU.
PW max = 20 Indicates maximum transmitter power.
RxAlarmLev =-77 Indicates the Rx level (in dBm) at which the Radio
Alarm is switched on.
IDU t= 31C Indicates temperature within the IDU.
BlkErr = 0 Block Error counter; Errored block is WAN frame with
one or more bit errors. Errored blocks are not counted
while Sync lost (SL) alarm is switched on.
BBlkErr = 0 Background Block Error counter: the background block
errors are counted while BER < 10-3, and are not
counted while Sync lost (SL) alarm is switched on.
StatTime = 12107 Time, during which all error measurements are
performed.
ErrSec = 12194 Errored seconds; errored second is a one-second period
in which one or more bits are in error or during which
SL alarm is switched on.
16
SErrSec = 12214 Severely errored seconds. Severely errored second is a
one-second period which has a bit-error ratio ≥ 1·10-3
or during which SL alarm is switched on.
SLTime = 12236 Synch Lost time, - time, during which SL alarm is
switched on.
AvTime = 12306 Availability time. Please refer to ITU-T recommendation
G.826 (Annex A) for definition of availability of the path
or connection.
UnAvTime = 9 Unavailability time.
BER = 4.8e-12 Bit Error Ratio. This indication is correct assuming, that
each block (WAN frame) may have maximum one
errored bit.
BBLoopback=OFF Indicates if the base-band loopback is switched on or
off.
17
3.1.2 “Setup” Mode of IDU LCD Management Interface
The following table describes parameters available for change from IDU in Setup
mode.
Algorithm of LCD operation is shown on Flow Chart 1, page 56.
Table 9
Parameter Description
Access code Specify the panel access code (a number from 0 – 200) to
enable configuration of the CFM site from IDU using
keypad. The panel access security feature can be enabled
by setting the panel access code as a number from 1 to
200, either from ASCII or Telnet terminal. If panel access
code is set as 0 (zero), the panel access security feature is
disabled.
Restart CPU Reboots management controller; this will reset all
management counters.
Reset counters Reset BlkErr, BBlkErr, StatTime, ErrSec, SErrSec, SLTime,
AvTime and UnAvTime counters. Counters are also cleared
when management controller is rebooted.
For more information about counters, see Table 8.
Write config Saves current settings in EEPROM of management
controller, these settings will take effect the next time when
IDU will be restarted.
Loopbacks - RF loopback OFF – switch off the radio loopback
(local),
- RF loopback ON – switch on the radio loopback,
- BB loopback OFF - switch off the baseband loopback
(any),
- BB loop analog – switch on the analog baseband loop,
- BB loopback ON - switch on the digital baseband
loopback.
Outdoor Unit - Tx Power - adjust the radio output power; the default
setting is “OFF”.
- Change Chan – change Tx/Rx frequency channel.
When choosing frequency channel, the LCD will display
only Tx frequencies, but when channel is changed, the
appropriate Rx frequency is also changed. Channel
numbers and corresponding Tx/Rx frequency values are
found in tables in the document ‘Channel plans’.
Modules This item contains all the commands for configuration of the
installed modules. See Setup Mode Menu Tree below for all
commands available from ‘Modules’ menu for 100Base-T,
1xE1, V.35, and 4xE1 modules.
Capacity Set the maximum capacity of the multiplexer (WAN speed):
8 Mbps, 16 Mbps or 34 Mbps. Once the capacity is changed,
the IDU will configure the software for various IDU
components, this will take a few minutes. Once the
configuration is complete, the IDU will automatically

After the capacity change, the user must manually
reconfigure all MUX slot speeds from LCD or from
Telnet or ASCII terminal using ‘muxspeeds’
command; the new configuration must be saved
using ‘write’ command.

16M MUX Sets the data rate for each multiplexer slot; use 1E1…4E1
speeds modes for E1 modules, and 2M…16M modes for Ethernet
and V.35 modules; supported speeds for each slot are the
following:
• CFM-M-MUX with the maximum capacity of 8 Mbps: all
slots support speeds 0…8 Mbps with 2 Mbps step.
• CFM-M-MUX with the maximum capacity of 16 Mbps:
slot 1 and slot 2 supports speeds 0…16 Mbps with 2
Mbps step; slot 3 and slot 4 supports speeds 0…8 Mbps
with 2 Mbps step.
• CFM-M-MUX with the maximum capacity of 34 Mbps:
slot 2 supports speeds 0…16 Mbps with 2 Mbps step;
slot 3 and slot 4 supports speeds 0…8 Mbps with 2 Mbps
step; slot 1 supports speeds 0…8 Mbps with 2 Mbps step
and RMN (remaining capacity) and FOD modes. In RMN
mode the slot operates with any capacity equal to (34 –
C2,3,4) Mbps, where C2,3,4 – the sum of capacities of slots
2, 3 and 4. The slot 1 is the only slot which supports
capacity above 16 Mbps, including the maximum
capacity of 34 Mbps. The FOD mode should be used for
compatibility with the CFM Full Outdoor Unit, operating
with WAN capacity of 34 Mbps. In case if the opposite
site has the CFM series FODU installed, and link
operates with 34 Mbps capacity, the CFM-M-MUX must
have one of the following configurations:
In case if FODU and CFM-M-MUX operates with 34 Mbps
capacity
Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3 Slot 4
FOD 1E1 1E1 0M
FOD 0M 0M 0M
FOD 1E1 0M 0M
FOD 0M 1E1 0M

In order to interconnect the IDU and the management terminal directly through
serial ports, a straight through modem cable is needed. The serial port of the
management terminal should be configured with the following settings:
− Bits per second: 19200
− Data bits: 8
− Parity: none
− Stop bits: 1
− Flow control: none.
The ASCII console can be connected to the IDU remotely through a telephone
line, using modems. In this case the modem, which is connected with the IDU,
should be configured as stated below:
- Auto answer on first ring ON
- Echo offline commands OFF
- Suppress result codes
- DTR override
The modem configuration then should be saved (typically with AT&W string).

3.4 Ethernet Port
The 10\100Base-T Ethernet management port provides:
• Web management via integrated Web server;
• Telnet server, accessible using command interface;
• SNMP management via integrated SNMP agent.
The IDU can be connected

− directly to PC/Laptop,
− to LAN via router or other TCP/IP packet network termination unit to have
IDU as part of network for transmission of management information.
3.4.1 Web Management
The CFM-M-MUX management system is running a Web server; the user can
connect to Web server via Ethernet management port. Using Web interface it is
possible to remotely configure and monitor the CFM site (counters, radio
parameters, configuration etc.) from Web page via HTTP.
The IDU management system supports up to 2 Web clients.
Web interface is accessible by any standards based Web browser.
Before connecting to Web server, it is necessary to specify User Name and
Password, using ‘wwwuser <username> <password>’ command, from Telnet or
ASCII terminal. If User Name and Password is not specified, the user will not be
able to open configuration pages (configure settings).
Main Web management window: entries, which are highlighted in red, indicate
that specific parameters do not comply with the norms of normal operation, all
other parameters are satisfactory
26
To check the status of each module, click on a Status link to open the module
status window.
Module Status window

In order to save the configuration, change multiplexer slot speeds, restart the
CPU or change the Web page refresh time, go to the Main Configuration window
(see the Figure below). When clicked on the Configure link for the first time since
connected to Web server, you will be prompted to enter User Name and
Password.
Main Configuration window (Radio parameter configuration is disabled)
27
By default, the Main Configuration window does not allow to configure ODU
parameters (frequency channel and output power); the radio parameter
configuration from Web page is factory-set as disabled. It can be enabled with
‘enable rfweb yes’ command from Telnet or ASCII console.
The CFM IDU Main Configuration window extended with the ODU parameter
configuration
To configure each interface module (speed, loopbacks, etc.), open the Modules
Configuration window via Modules Configuration link.
Modules Configuration window
28
3.4.2 Telnet management
The user can connect to Telnet server via Ethernet management port (1 client is
supported).
In order to connect to IDU via Telnet, the user will be prompted for login name
and password. The default (factory preset) Telnet login-name\password is not
specified; in order to connect to IDU via Telnet, the user must specify Telnet
login-name and password using ‘Telnetuser <username> <password>’
command; information about command interface is given in chapter 3.5.
3.4.3 SNMP Management
The SNMP management allows to:

− Read and configure parameters of IDU and ODU via SNMP;
− Receive SNMP traps from IDU.
In order to use the SNMP management facilities, it is necessary to configure:
− the IP address of the management PC with the installed SNMP Trap Manager
program; the IP address can be specified from a Telnet or ASCII console
using “SNMP trap <IPaddress>” command, or from IDU front panel. The
default value is 255.255.255.255 (no SNMP Trap Manager specified). The
Trap Manager address should be configured for each IDU, from which it is
necessary to receive information on parameters, counters and alarms. The
information is sent as SNMP Trap packets through the mediation of UDP
protocol.
− SNMP read and write community names (passwords); there are no default
read and write community names specified, - while SNMP community names
are not specified, accordingly it will not be possible to read and write
parameters via SNMP.
SNMP management functionality is available from any SNMP browser, by means
of compiling SAF MIB to browser’s MIB base.
SAF MIB is available from:
- SAF Tehnika Web site, www.saftehnika.com,
- From SAF Tehnika tech support, email: [email protected],
- Contacting SAF Tehnika or distributors.

SNMP traps
SNMP traps are SNMP packets sent by IDU to PC with installed SNMP trap
managing software; the IP address of the trap Manager PC is specified with
“SNMP trap <IPaddress>” command from Telnet or ASCII terminal.
The IDU sends the following SNMP trap packets to the SNMP Trap Manager:
SNMP trap Description
Alarm The trap is sent each time the changes with one of alarms occur
(alarm switches on or off), the following alarms are included in
Alarm trap:
- Radio alarm
- Sync lost alarm
- BER alarm (triggers when BER exceeds specified value, which
is 10-6 by default)
- Remote alarm (RAI)
- System alarm: this alarm is switched on in case of hardware
failures.
For more information about alarms, see Table 2 and Table 3.
Cold-start The trap is sent each time the IDU is started.
Authentification failure The trap is sent each time the attempt occurs to read or write the
variable with incorrect community name.

include configuration changes, management controller
restarts, local site alarm changes (RA, SL, RAI alarms).
The maximum count of log entries is 1023, the events are
written in EPROM cyclically, overwriting older entries.
The “log show” or “log” commands display latest 20 log
entries, the log entries are numbered, - entry with the
largest number is the latest event. The “log show”
command can be followed up with an entry number to
display latest 20 entries beginning from the entry
specified by the number, e.g., “log show 100” will display
entries 100…120.

39
3.5.1 Working with configuration script
The management module has RAM and EEPROM chips onboard. When IDU is
booted up, bootstrap is loaded from the EPROM into RAM. The bootstrap contains
the parameters that were previously stored in EPROM using write and/or cfg
write commands. These parameters are stored in EPROM in the form of script
and when booting up, the script parameters are loaded into RAM. These
parameters can be freely changed in run-time, - changing the data in RAM. If the
IDU is shut down without saving the current configuration (script) in EPROM, the
original configuration will be restored from EPROM on the next boot-up.
Here is an example of script:
SAF>cfg show
01: ip remaddr 192.168.0.11
02: ip seraddr 192.168.0.10
03: Chan 144
04: muxspeeds rmn+8M+8M+4E1
05: snmp community read safpub
06: snmp trap 255.255.255.255
07: route add 62.85.14.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.12.22
The script can be edited:

- string can be added by simply entering the required command (the script will
be supplemented with the new string or the instant string entry will be
updated)
- string can be deleted using “cfg delete <string#>” command line.
- the changes can be saved in EPROM using cfg write command line. Note: the
parameters, that are not specified in the configuration script will have their
default values when the IDU is restarted.
40
3.5.2 File system
The software used by the IDU management controller is organised in files, which
are stored in Flash disk.
Firmware and boot configuration files

The following files are needed for the IDU to start:
- ‘Boot.ini’ file, - device boot configuration file. This file is text file and contains
the name of the firmware file which must be executed at startup. The file
name can be freely changed, but its default name is ‘boot.ini’, hereinafter it is
assumed, that this file has default filename. The most important factor about
this file is that it must be uploaded with ‘B’ and ‘e’ attribute flags (flags are
case sensitive!), only then it will be treated as executive script.
Attribute flags for ‘boot.ini’ file:
B – query run at boot; e – executive script
For information how to upload files in the Flash disk, please refer to chapter
3.6.
- Firmware file, - this file is the main firmware executable for the appropriate
IDU model. The file name can be freely changed, but its default name will
contain the version and IDU model, e.g., ‘MMUX400.elf.lzip’. The most
important factor about this file is that it must be uploaded with ‘E’ and ‘c’
attribute flags, otherwise this file will not be used as the firmware.
Attribute flags for firmware file:
E – executable binary; c - compressed
Notes:
- The files are uploaded from PC to Flash disk using TFTP (via Ethernet
management port), or using Xmodem protocol (via RS232 serial port), for
more information about file upload please refer to chapter 3.6; configuration
backup files are created by IDU management system.
- The flash disk may store other files as well, for example previous firmware
versions, configuration backup files, - up to 3.5 Mb (3 or 4 firmware files).
- The attribute flags for files are case sensitive.
- The file names can be changed, but it is very important that the file has the
necessary attribute flags otherwise the file will not be used neither as
firmware, nor as ‘boot.ini’ type file.
- There are no file extensions in the file system; either file, when edited, is
treated as ASCII text file.
- When uploading the file, if the Flash disk stores the file with the same
filename as for uploadable file, it will be overwritten with the new file.
Configuration backup files

Using ‘cfg backup <filename>’ command, the user can create the backup file of
the current CFM site configuration. The configuration backup file is text file and,
when created, contains the current configuration script, - the same configuration
script that are stored in EEPROM. Please refer to chapter 0 for more information
about configuration script.
The configuration backup files are stored in Flash disk, where they can be edited
or downloaded to PC. The backup configuration file can be applied in run-time, by
consecutively entering ‘cfg restore <filename>’ and ‘cfg run’ commands. Note:
the configuration restored from file is not stored in EEPROM and therefore will be
lost when IDU is restarted, to save it in EEPROM use ‘write’ command.
The user can create and store several configuration files to quickly revert to other
CFM site configurations.
41
Working with files
The following commands are intended to operate with files, stored in the Flash
disk on the management controller.
edit <filename> Edits the specified file. This command is intended for editing
configuration backup files and boot configuration file (boot.ini). For
example,
edit boot.ini,Be
– file ‘boot.ini’ will be opened for editing. ‘Be’ specifies that this file
will be saved with attributes ‘B’ and ‘e’. If boot.ini file is intended to
be modified, it should always be opened specifying ‘B’ and ‘e’ flags
as in example above, this will ensure that file will be saved with
these attributes (flags).
To close the file and save changes press Ctrl+Z, to close the file
without saving changes press Ctrl+Q.
The configuration backup files do not require specific attributes.
Boot.ini file in Flash memory can be edited from ASCII console only,
not via Telnet.
tfs ls Displays a list of files stored in the Flash disk, and how many bytes
are used by these files and how many bytes are free.
‘tfs dir’ can also be used.
tfs cat <filename> Displays the contents of a text file.

‘tfs type’ can also be used.
tfs del <filename> Deletes the specified file from Flash disk.
‘tfs rm’ can also be used.
tfs check Checks the files and file system consistency; this command is for
diagnostic purposes. For example:
SAF>tfs check
TFS device //FLASH/ check:
mainappb.elf.ezip... ok
mmux400.elf.ezip... ok
cfg1.txt... ok
boot.ini... ok
PASSED
TFS checked ...
In this example no files are corrupted.
tfs clean Defragments the Flash disk. It is recommended to perform the

defragmentation if larger files (like firmware files) are uploaded or
deleted.
42
3.5.3 Storage of radio parameters
The radio parameter values (transmit frequency and power) are stored internally
in Flash memory of the Radio unit, the Radio operates exactly with those values
stored in its Flash memory. When the radio parameter is modified while the
equipment is in operation, the corresponding radio parameter value in the Radio
Flash memory is overwritten with the new one and applied in operation. Since the
radio parameters are stored in ODU in Flash memory, it is not necessary for the
IDU configuration script (bootstrap) to contain strings that configure radio
parameters. In case if the configuration script stored in IDU EEPROM contains
strings that configure radio parameter(s), each time the equipment is booted, the
radio parameter values written in the IDU bootstrap are uploaded to the Radio
and the previously stored radio parameter values in Flash memory are
overwritten with those in the IDU bootstrap. Hence the radio parameter
configuration in the IDU bootstrap has a higher priority as they will override the
values stored in the Radio Flash memory when the equipment is rebooted.
It is useful to write the radio parameter configuration in the IDU configuration
script for the purpose to be able to quickly replace the ODU later.
43
3.5.4 Security commands
General tips
Telnet server supports one user only. The default username and password for
Telnet terminal is not specified.
Web server supports two users. By deault the Web server is disabled, because
the username and password for Web terminal is not specified; the username and
password to connect to Web server from Web terminal can be specified, using
‘WWWuser <username> <password>’ command.
Take note of upper case and lower case type, it should be taken into account for
both username and password!
The passwords may contain spaces, if using space(s) the password should be
entered in quote marks.
For ASCII, Telnet and Web terminals the password can be changed by simply re-
entering the appropriate security command while logged on, and then saving the
configuration in EEPROM using ‘write’ command.
To terminate Telnet session, or log off from ASCII terminal, press Ctrl+D.
To disable username and/or password, enter the password configuration
command with empty string in argument:
− for ASCII console: enable password “”
− for Telnet terminal: telnetuser “” “”
− for Web access: wwwuser “” “”
In case if user has forgotten username and password for Telnet access and
password for access from ASCII console, it is possible to restart the IDU without
applying settings stored in EEPROM, and then find out the Username and
Password using ‘cfg show’ command. Proceed as follows:
− connect to IDU with ASCII console (via serial port);
− Enter ‘restartcpu’ command and follow the strings displayed on ASCII console
window; as soon as ‘Press <Esc> twice to stop initialisation’ string appears
(see Figure 10), press Esc key twice.
Figure 10
− Enter ‘cfg show’ command to display boot configuration script, which will also
include security commands with Usernames and Passwords.
By default there are no password specified for access from ASCII console, - when
user connects to IDU from ASCII console, no prompt is displayed to enter
password.
44
Important!
The specification of username and password (or access code) should always be
followed by saving the configuration script (using “write” or “cfg write”
commands) otherwise the password request will be ignored after the restart of
IDU.
Panel access code

The panel access code for the access from IDU panel can be specified from the
Telnet and ASCII terminals only. When the access code is specified, the
adjustment and configuration of any IDU/ODU parameters and loopbacks from
IDU LCD is not available, unless the correct access code is specified at IDU using
keypad (refer to chapter “Setup” Mode of IDU LCD Management Interface). The
specification of access code should also be followed by saving the configuration
script otherwise the access code value will be set to default (none) on the IDU
restart. The panel access code can be changed simply entering the new access
code (number from 0 – 200) using panel access command.
To disable the panel access code feature, enter 0 value, which means that this
feature is disabled (default setting).
45
3.6 Updating management software
Generally the user can update the IDU management software by uploading the
appropriate firmware file to IDU Flash disk, and then edit boot configuration file if
necessary. The file upload can be performed
- via Ethernet management port using TFTP, or
- via RS232 serial port using Xmodem protocol.
To simplify the software update process, SAF Tehnika provides special update
package as new version is available. This update pack is available as archive (e.g.
zip), which includes firmware file, boot configuration file and other files needed
for update process. To receive update pack, please contact Your SAF Tehnika
distributor.
To update IDU software by using the update pack, proceed as follows:
- uncompress the package;
- change the IDU IP address to 192.168.205.10, or edit ‘send_boot_ini.cmd’
and ‘send_ttftp.cmd’ files by replacing “192.168.205.10” with actual IDU IP
address;
- run ‘sw_update.cmd’ to perform update. In case if the memory is full, the
upload will halt and error message will be displayed, in this case user must
first delete some files to free enough memory on IDU Flash disk.
Chapters 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 describe other methods how to update the software
without using update pack.
46
3.6.1 Uploading file via Ethernet management port (TFTP)
Assuming that the IDU IP settings are properly configured, proceed as follows:
1) Connect the IDU to network or directly to PC,
2) Make sure TFTP is running on IDU (by default, the TFTP is switched off); to
run the TFTP on IDU, connect to IDU with Telnet client and enter the following
command: ‘start tftp’.
3) Run the program that enables to use TFTP service, for example command
interpreter (cmd.exe) if using Windows, see Figure 11.
4) For example, to upload the firmware file ‘mmux400.elf.ezip’ with attribute
flags ‘E’ and ‘c’, enter command:
tftp –i 192.168.205.11 put C:\files\mmux400.elf.ezip,Ec
where:
‘-i’ – key which specifies that file must be transferred in binary image transfer
mode;
‘192.168.205.11’ – IDU Ethernet management port IP address (host);
‘C:\files\mmux400.elf.ezip’ – firmware file (source);
‘Ec’ – file attribute flags ‘E’ and ‘c’; the attribute flags are separated from file
name or source with comma (only comma and no space) and there are no
commas or spaces between flags;
Figure 11
5) If uploaded file is large (like firmware file), it is recommended to defragment

Flash disk. Use ‘tfs clean’ command from Telnet or ASCII terminal to perform
defragmentation.
6) If the uploaded file is firmware file which should be used by IDU, it is
necessary to edit ‘boot.ini’ file by deleting the entry with old file name and
writing file name of the new firmware file; the ‘boot.ini’ file must be saved
with ‘B’ and ‘e’ flags (file attributes), for more information how to edit files,
please refer to chapter ‘Working with files’, page 42.
Note: to copy file from IDU Flash disk to PC hard disk via TFTP, use the following
command:
tftp -i 192.168.205.11 get filename C:\destination
where
‘192.168.205.11’ – IDU port IP address (host);
‘filename’ – file to be copied from IDU to PC; ‘C:\destination’ – destination path
where the file will be saved on PC hard disk.
47
3.6.2 Uploading file via serial port (Xmodem)
File upload via serial port takes much longer time compared to using TFTP and
should be used only in case if Ethernet connection with IDU management system
is not available, or does not start normally.
1) Connect the ASCII console to IDU RS232 port, make connection with the
following properties: Bits per second: 19200; Data bits: 8; Parity: none;
Stop bits: 1; Flow control: none; if using ‘Hyper Terminal’ program, please
refer to chapter 3.3 for information how to make a connection.
2) Type ‘restartcpu’ and, while IDU is booting, press any key when ‘boot.ini?’
prompt appears. This will stop executing script in ‘boot.ini’ file and the IDU
will remain in MicroMonitor mode, this is system startup mode which loads
the management system firmware;
Note: while in MicroMonitor mode, the ‘uMON>’ prompt will be displayed,
instead of normal prompt with IDU name (default ‘SAF>’).
3) In MicroMonitor mode enter the following command:
xmodem –cd –F <filename-no_flags> -f Ec
where
<filename-no_flags> - file name with no flags specified
‘Ec’ – file flags, in case the file is firmware file - ‘E’ and ‘c’ flags must be
used; if the file is boot configuration file (boot.ini), the flags must be ‘Be’
(‘B’ and ‘e’); the flags for configuration backup files may not be specified,
in that case the command will be
xmodem –cd –F < filename-no_flags >
4) Use terminal emulation software with file upload function, such as Hyper
Terminal (in Windows) to upload the firmware file to IDU as binary image
(use binary transfer mode), using Xmodem protocol.
If using Hyper Terminal, proceed as follows: from menu select
‘Transfer’ ’Send File…’, then select file and in ‘protocol’ box select
Xmodem protocol and press ‘Send’ button, the following box should
appear
When upload is complete, the following information will be displayed

(Figure 12):
48
Figure 12
5) Enter ‘reset’ command to exit from MicroMonitor mode and restart the
IDU.
6) Proceed with steps 5) and 6) in chapter 0.
49
3.7 Alarms
The following types of alarms
• Radio alarm (RA): when active, indicates problems with ODU or IDU-ODU
cable, for more information see Table 2. The state of RA can be verified from
− RA LED on the IDU front panel,
− Web page,
− Telnet or ASCII console.
• Sync Lost alarm (SL): when active, indicates failure of Multiplexer frame
synchronization, when switched off – the frame synchronisation is
established. The state of SL can be verified from
− SL LED on the IDU front panel,
− Web page,
• Remote Alarm Indicator (RAI): this alarm signal is received from the far-end
site (WAN side), indicating that the far-end site has the SL alarm switched on.
The state of RAI can be verified from
− RAI LED on the IDU front panel,
− Web page,
3.7.1 Alarm Port (I/O Port)
The Alarm port is an optional feature.

The Alarm port shares the set of outputs of relay switches intended for the CFM
site supervision and the user inputs to connect an external device that requires to
be supervised. Each output of the port can be used either as NO type (normally
open) or NC type (normally closed).
The following alarms are available through the alarm port as parallel relay
outputs:
• A: Power on\off relay. If power is on, the relay is closed (normal relay
state); if power is off – relay is open.
• B: SL – Synch Lost alarm, ON - relay is closed, OFF – relay is opened
(normal operation).
• C: RAI – Remote Alarm Indicator, ON - relay is closed, OFF – relay is
opened (normal operation).
• D: RA – Radio Alarm, ON - relay is closed, OFF – relay is opened (normal
operation).
Each output is available as normally opened and normally closed (invert).
There are four parallel inputs of the alarm port available: input A, input B, input
C, input D. These inputs are used for connection of an external device which
supplies DC voltage on input, - “0” or “1”; the changes of inputs (triggering
between “0” and “1”), can be monitored from management terminal; refer to
Chapter 4 for electrical specifications.
The alarm port outputs can be supervised via SNMP manager and/or Web
console.
For information on Alarm port pinouts and electrical specifications, please refer to
Chapter 5.

3.8 Configuring Management Service Channel
The service channel capacity varies depending on the configured WAN capacity:
Maximum IDU capacity Service channel capacity
8 Mbps 40 kbps
16 Mbps 80 kbps
34 Mbps 160 kbps
Before using the Management Service Channel, the mandatory precondition is to

properly configure the following parameters:
– IP addresses of the local and remote serial port (also referred as
SLIP addresses): the IDU Management Module has a virtual serial
port onboard that is used to receive/transmit the management
information from/to the other virtual serial port on the far-side via
service channel; both ports use SLIP.
– IP netmask of the remote serial port.
– IP address and net-mask of the Management Module.
– IP address of the gateway or host that is locally connected to the
IDU.
The console is connected to the IDU via Ethernet console port located on the
Management Module. The console should be configured so as to have routing
information to the serial port (SLIP port) of the local IDU, - it should either run
the RIP thereby automatically obtaining the routing information, or a static
route(s) should be added.
The routing requires determining IP addresses of service channels (virtual serial
port IP addresses). Since the Management Module operates as a router between
two subnets running the RIP 2, normally it is not necessary to configure the
routing by adding static routes.
Virtual serial port IP addresses can be picked from the “private internet”
addresses, e.g., 10.X.X.X or 192.168.X.X. Both of these addresses should be
different from those used for addressing the IDU, the principle is shown in the
picture below, here each cloud depicts a subnet.

3.10 Replacing the Indoor Unit
Before replacing the IDU, verify the configuration of Radio if possible, - inspect
the channel an transmit power settings. Then configure the new IDU in one of the
following ways:
− delete the bootstrap via Telnet or ASCII console using cfg clear
command, or
− configure Radio channel and transmit frequency as needed (from LCD or
via management console);
In order to replace the faulty IDU while in operation, take the following steps:
− Disconnect the faulty IDU from the Radio:
disconnect the N-type female connector;
unplugging of power is optional;
− Connect the new IDU:
if the new IDU is previously configured (the transmit power and
channel settings are made and the configuration is saved), the
Radio will apply these settings after the management controller will
be restarted,
if configuration script (bootstrap) is empty or does not contain
entries on channel and transmit power, the Radio will keep the
configuration that was last received from IDU;
− Restart the management controller, for instance, using RestartCPU
option on the LCD.

3.12 Configuring Radio Parameters
3.12.1 Default ODU Settings
The Outdoor Units are shipped with disabled Transmitter (TxPower OFF) and
channel is set to one in the middle of respective A or B side of the Low or High
subband (Radio types: LA, HA, LB, HB), or in the middle of the whole Low or High
subband (Radio types: L and H).
3.12.2 Configuring Tx Frequency
The Tx frequency of the CFM LM and the CFM L4 type ODUs can be adjusted in
the following ways:
1) It can be set through “Set Channel” item of IDU LCD menu system.
If this item is chosen, display indicates:
Channel = xxx
Tx = xxxxx.x MHz
where “Channel” corresponds to Tx channel number and “Tx frequency” indicates

appropriate frequency in MHz.
Operator sets desired channel number scrolling through values with “Up” or
“Down” buttons and confirming the choice with “Enter” button.
2) The Tx frequency can be set using “Chan” command from ASCII or Telnet
management terminal, example: Chan 22
22 – channel number.
Since the telemetry data is transmitted between the ODU and the IDU, the
concordance of Tx frequency to Low or High band side is detected automatically,
and when the Tx channel is configured from the IDU LCD, the LCD displays
frequencies within the subband (Low or High) that is covered by the Radio.
However, if the ODU covers only a half of the subband (e.g., LA, HA, LB or HB, -
depends on the duplexer filter within the ODU), the user should only choose from
those Tx frequencies (channels) that are covered by the half of the subband
specific to the Radio.
If a fault occurs in the ODU that prevents the transmission of telemetry data, the
IDU LCD shows “No data from ODU”.
The Rx frequency is set automatically by Tx frequency.
59
3.12.3 Configuring Tx Power
The Tx Power level of the CFM series ODU can be adjusted in the following ways:
1) It can be set through Set TxPower item of IDU LCD menu system.
2) The Tx Power can be adjusted using Txpower command from Telnet or
ASCII terminal, example: Txpower +10
The Tx Power can be adjusted from -10 dBm to +20 dBm in steps of 1 dBm as
well as turned off (Txpower off).
To avoid possible interference with other radio equipment, the default setting is
“OFF”.
3.12.4 Evaluating RSL from RSSI signal
The following chart and table shows typical relationship of the received signal
level (Rx level) displayed by IDU vs. RSSI port output voltage (RSSI – Received
Signal Strength Indicator). The RSSI port is located on ODU. The evaluated Rx
level has the error +/-2 dBm.

Important note:
The RSSI port is typically labelled with RSSI . The ODUs which does not have such
label, does not correspond to the table and graph given above, the maximum
level of RSSI voltage (at peak RSL) for these ODUs may vary from 1.2 up to 2
volts.

3.13 Performing Loop-back Tests
Loopback tests are accessible using local or remote management methods.
All baseband and RF loopbacks (local and remote) for safety purposes can be set
on a fixed time interval only. The interface lopbacks (E1, V.35) does not have
time limit and must be switched off manually.
3.13.1 Setting Loop Tests from IDU LCD/Keypad
From the IDU LCD all loop tests are set on 1 minute time interval.
• Baseband loopback:
From status display mode do the following: Press “ENTER” to enter setup
mode → select “Loopbacks” → select “BBloopback ON” to set the digital
baseband loops or “BBloop analog“ to set the analog baseband loop →
select “Yes”.
• RF loopback:
mode → select “Loopbacks” → select “RFloopback ON” → select “Yes”.
• V.35 interface loopback:
mode → select “Modules” → select “Module # V35” → select “V.35
Loopback” → “Change Loopback”, switch over to ON and confirm.
• E1 interface loopback:
mode → select “Modules” → select “Module # E1” → select “E1 Aloop” for
analog loopback (non-dual) or “E1 Dloop” for digital loopback → “Change”,
switch over to ON and confirm.
• REB interface loopback: not available.
3.13.2 Setting Loop Tests from Telnet/ASCII terminal
From the remote management terminal, the loopbacks can be activated using the
following commands:
• V.35 interface module loopback:
Use command “Mod # setV35 loop {on|off}”, # - MUX slot number
Example: mod 3 setv35 loop on (see also syntax notes on page 38).
• E1 interface module loopback:
“Mod # setE1 {Aloop|Dloop}”, if argument is “Aloop” - analog loopback is
activated, “Dloop” activates digital loopback, “Remote” –remote loopback,
“off” – switch off any E1 interface loopback (for details refer to Chapter
3.13.6), # - MUX slot number.
• Baseband loopback:
“BBloop {on|analog|off} [duration]”. Duration is set in minutes as values
from 1 to 10. If duration is not specified the loopback will be set on 1
minute. There are two baseband loop tests available:
− Analog: if setting analog loopback, use “bbloop analog” command,
analog loopback is not dual.
− Digital: if setting digital loopback, use “bbloop on” command, digital
loopback is dual.
• RF loopback:
“RFloop {on|off} [duration]”, duration = 1 min by default.
61
3.13.3 Radio loopback
Radio (RF) loopbacks can be set on a fixed time interval only; if using
LCD/Keypad, the RF loop test is set for 1 minute. If setting RF loop from Telnet or
ASCII console, the duration of radio loopback mode can be specified from 1 to 10
minutes.
The radio loop is set in the ODU. Radio loopback mode is a special ODU operation
mode, where the Rx frequency during the loopback mode is set equal to the Tx
frequency. During radio loopback mode, the signal is transmitted and looped back
through the duplexer filter to the receiver block. The radio loopback is not dual.
Important notes:
1. Because of the frequency characteristic of the duplexer filter, in order to
set the radio loop, the ODUs operating in the Low band side must be
switched to the highest available frequency channel, but the ODUs
operating in the High band side must be switched to the lowest available
frequency channel;
2. Before setting the radio loop, the transmitter power should be switched to
maximum level;
3. In CFM-18-LM and CFM-18-L4 ODUs the radio loopback mode is not
available.
3.13.4 Base-band loopbacks
The baseband loop is set in the baseband modem in the IDU. Base-band
loopbacks can be set on a fixed time interval only; if using LCD/Keypad, the
base-band loop test is set for 1 minute. If setting base-band loopback from
Telnet or ASCII console, the duration of baseband loopback mode can be
specified from 1 to 10 minutes.
There are two types of baseband loopbacks (both can not be activated
simultaneously):
− Digital baseband loopback: the signal from the ODU and from the multiplexer
(or Bridge board) in the baseband modem is looped back to the receiving
device; the digital baseband loopback is dual (see figure below);
− Analog baseband loopback: the modulated signal on the baseband modem
output is looped back to the receiving device and also passed further to the
ODU.

4 Using CFM-M-MUX in 1+1 Configuration
The CFM-M-MUX IDUs can be used to set up protected link (1+1) configuration, if
IDUs are equipped with 1+1 user I/O card. The 1+1 I/O card provides alarm
ports (outputs) and user inputs, as well as capability of interconnecting the M-
MUX with other M-MUX for 1+1 configuration.
The protected site consists of active terminal and protection terminal. Active
terminal and protection terminal are connected via 1+1 link cable. Both active
terminal and protection terminal consists of IDU and ODU.
The following 1+1 configurations are supported (for more information see chapter
4.1):
• Hot Standby (HSB),
• Frequency Diversity (FD).
The CFM-M-MUX 1+1 protected link configuration is supported for the following
traffic types:
• E1 traffic
• Management Ethernet traffic
! Ethernet traffic (currently not supported)
The CFM-M-MUX 1+1 configuration is not supported for V.35 traffic.

Figure 22. E1 traffic switching principle for FD and HSB mode; all switches (at all
four IDUs) are in position 1 or in position 2.
4.1.1 FD (Frequency diversity)
In FD mode, the outgoing (Tx) traffic at each site is passed to both ODUs, the
transmitters of both ODUs are always switched on; the incoming signal (Rx) is
picked from one of the IDUs, depending on the received signal level and alarm
status of the link, as described in chapter 4.2.
4.1.2 HSB (Hot-standby)
In HSB mode, both the incoming (Rx) and outgoing (Tx) traffic is switched to
either one link or other, only one link is operating; the transmitter of the inactive
ODU is switched off at each side.
4.2 Traffic switching

The payload transmission is switched to be carried out via protection terminal if
one of the following problems are detected in active terminal:
• Power failure,
• IDU-ODU cable failure,
• SL or RAI alarm switches on,
• Rx level below threshold,
• BER level above threshold.
65
4.3 Switching time
Traffic switching time (switchover time) is less than 50 ms (milliseconds) in
case of
• Power supply failure,
• IDU-ODU cable failure,
• SL alarm,
• RAI alarm (far-end SL alarm is switched on).
Traffic switching time is less than 50 ms in case of
• Rx level is too low (below the threshold level), or
• BER alarm is switched on.
4.4 E1 traffic switching

In 1+1 configuration, E1 ports on the active terminal and the protection terminal
are connected in parallel.
E1 ports on the active terminal and on the protection terminal receive the same
data at the same time from WAN side. For impedance matching of paralleled E1
ports, impedance matching device – transformer are provided. E1 ports transmit
data to WAN side only on the active terminal. Depending on IDU E1 ports, the
following types of transformers applicable:

4.5 Ethernet traffic switching

Ethernet traffic switching is implemented by means of Ethernet switch.
66
4.6 V.35 traffic switching
CFM-M-MUX 1+1 configuration for V.35 traffic is not supported.
4.7 Management Ethernet traffic switching

Management Ethernet ports (both – from the active terminal and the protection
terminal) of the protected site are connected to the Management network via
Ethernet switch or Hub.
Management system can manage both, local – active and protection terminals at
the same time. The remote terminals - active and protection terminals are
reached via service channel over the active link.
Management system supports RIP2; new routing tables are transmitted over the
management network in case if protection terminal takes over active terminal
functions.
