Scope and Purpose

This document provides software release information on supported functionality, compatibility, and
known customer affecting issues, relating to the released software versions.
The intended users of this document are:
 Aviat Networks Customers
 Aviat Networks Product Support staff
 Aviat Networks Field Service staff

This release note announces the official release of Eclipse Software Release 08.01.20. This release is a
General Availability release to the factory and field to resolve known certain issues and add two new
features.

Release 8.1 includes the following new features

Stacked ERPS DAC GE3 and IDU GE3 16x

Stacked ERP has been designed to offer a robust protected configuration which relies on protected
GE3 and trunks with port members going to both the Primary and Secondary cards.

Additional Security Features

o Login Information
o NTP Authentication

Eclipse Quality Improvements

 ODU300EP is not supported in 8.1. Use 08.00.99 or below.

__________________________________________________________________________________

IRU600v3EHP : Please note that upgrading to 08.01.19 (& above) sets the guaranteed output power for
the modem profile 256QAM Max Throughput at 36.5dBm at ACU antenna port for IRU600v3 HP L6/U6,
and at 32.0dBm at ACU antenna port for IRU600v3 EHP. 11GHz.
Software 8.0 incorrectly set the power level 0.5dB higher than the above figures.
The Dec.14, 2015 datasheet reflects the correct specification.

Known Issues
The following table lists known issues that have not been fixed in this release.
Ref # Issue Description
IRU 600: No Power Supply Input Failure alarm on the IRU 600 high power RFU. A TX Power
Failure alarm will occur if a valid DC input is not present on the RFU front panel DC input
ES-13267 connector, when the correct description should be a input power failure. This may result in an
incorrect diagnosis of the real problem. If a TX Power Failure alarm is present, first check the
RFU power supply voltage.
RAC 60/6X: Protection, Offline RAC removal is not errorless with several capacities. TDM
ES13994 traffic is hit when removing the off-line RAC with the following ETSI profiles: 7MHz,
13.75MHz and 27.5MHz.
RAC 60/6X: IRU600 30MHz/128QAM/OC3 : Protection switching times may exceed 200mS
ES-14546 approximately 2% of switching occurrences. This is caused by the specific timing of an RFU
Alarm during switch cycles. Note that the total average switching time is 25ms.
ODU 300 SP: Tx Fail alarm comes up and RAC front panel LEDs go red when placed in IF
ES-15029 Loopback with SP ODUs EQS-XX-XXXX-XXX identified by the serial number starting
BLBxxxxxxxx . Alarm only seen during IF Loopback.
RAC 60/6X: ANSI ACM - User can enter ACM ATPC settings that will inhibit ACM from
ES-16183
stepping up to the maximum modulation. If the max TX power setting specified is higher than

11 AVIAT NETWORKS FEBRUARY 3, 2016

 RELEASE NOTES
White Paper
the max TX power allowed at 256QAM, and the "Target Remote Fade Margin" is greater than
10db, then a significantly greater RSL will be required before the modulation will step up.
Although the SNR is high enough to step-up, the system tries to maintain the requested
target fade margin at the expense of stepping up the modulation. The consequence is that
the link to never reach 256QAM. Solution is to configure the ATPC settings for maximum Tx
power at 256QAM and not the lower modulations.
Basic Security : When running software version 5.2 or earlier with the basic security enabled
(this requires a user name and password to login into Portal) if the software is subsequently
upgraded to version 5.04 or later the user needs to be aware that passwords for "operator",
"engineer", and "admin" user levels will be reset to default values (port_op, port_eng, port-
ES-16214
adm correspondingly) after the upgrade. Ensure the security mode and passwords to are
reconfigured to the desired values after the upgrade. This is one time action. Further
upgrades to subsequent software releases will not reset passwords. Provision can be used
to automate this reconfiguration process across many radios if needed.
IDU GE3 16x: Protection - Tx and Rx, Ethernet and TDM switch on ODU Cable removal can
ES-17790
exceed 50ms (Average 90ms, Max 150ms)
RAC 60/6X: 1+1 ACM mode: In a 1+1 ACM setup, if the RX Online is separately faded to
DNL and the Offline Demod remains locked (using the Offline diversity data), removing the
Offline diversity RX Source (by ODU cable removal or RAC removal) does not result in the
ES-17933
Online RX stepping its modulation down so that it locks up. Therefore, traffic is lost until the
Online RX unfades enough to lock up at its current RX modulation, or the connection to the
Offline radio is restored.
ES-19049 ODU 600: 7MHz and 14MHz ACM profiles for RAC30A take errors and sync losses
DAC GEv2 / RWPR: RWPR protection fails when link is slowly faded and un-faded. If a link is
slowly faded then un-faded, prescribed RSTP forwarding and blocking action can be
unreliable where 'Rapid Failure Detection and Protection' is selected as the Transport
ES-19138
Channel Mode. This can be prevented by selecting 'Rapid Failure Detection' as the Transport
Channel Mode. Only use 'Rapid Failure Detection and Protection' for L1LA and Adaptive
Modulation operation.
IDU GE3 16x profiles : Some will occasionally show a brief RX DNL or error burst at the local
ES-20191 RX if the local TX is unmuted when using the Tx Mute Diagnostic command. Seen on 56MHz
ACM: 256Q-MG, 256Q-MT profiles, but may affect others.
ES-20960 Rebooting the NCC with an NPC fitted can cause an outage on NCM Loop Switch
RAC60/6x: Traffic is not restored after re-inserting a protected RAC60/6x that has been
ES-21402 manually locked to "Tx online". Workaround is to not lock a RAC to "Tx online" with DPP
enabled in a hot unplug scenario as traffic will be affected. Lock both Tx and Rx to online
L1LA DAC GE3 protected config: DACGE3 can drop frames for a short duration when it
ES-21423
comes back up after re-insertion
In band NMS does not work when DAC GEv3 is in slot 9. Slots 1-8 perform as expected with
ES-22801
NMS
DAC 155om to DAC GE3 circuits : Container alarms can be seen on power cycling and
configuration changes. Complete traffic loss is very occasionally observed when changing
ES-22861
the modes from E1 to DS1 and vice versa.
Alarms are cleared if the cards are unplugged and plugged
Loop Switch: After replacing a DAC DS3M card with an NCM, the NCM card is recognized
ES-22962 but never finishes to load software. Workaround is to insert a DAC16x into the slot, and then
replace it with an NCM
RAC 30V3 / RAC 30V2: When configuring a protected RF link using one RAC 30V3 and one
RAC 30V2 in a node, and where the node’s NCC card had previously held configurations
using RAC 60/6X/60E/60XE, it is occasionally seen that the RAC 30 protected pair becomes
ES-23040 un-configurable in Portal. When this happens, the RF link fails to come up, Portal disallows
setting the Bandwidth / Modulation setting, and a Configuration Not Supported alarm
appears. The easiest field workaround is to replace one RAC card in an affected protected
pair so they are either both RAC 30V3 or both RAC 30V2, then attempt configuration again.
RAC 30v3 to RAC 30A link: All DS1/ DS3 profiles and ETSI 3.5MHz 16QAM 10Mbps (5E1)
profile fail to operate and give a Link Down Alarm. All other 11 ETSI profiles that are
ES-23043
common between RAC 30V2 and RAC 30v3 function correctly.
Workaround is to not use these profiles on RAC 30V3 / RAC 30A links
NCM: The NCM ships with 07.03.31 software , if this module is inserted into a chassis
ES-23080 running earlier software such as 07.00.41 and then is upgraded to 07.03.32 or later the NCM
will fail to recover. The workaround is to upgrade the chassis to the latest 07.03 software

DAC GE3 : SSM over L1LA, after configuring a DAC GE3 / RAC60/6X in a L1LA

DAC GE3: Ethernet Traffic does not pass through the backplane for some 60/80 MHz
ES-24089 /
ES-24165
profiles. Using the backplane for Ethernet traffic at these bandwidths is not recommended
and the expected use for 60 & 80 MHz profiles is to use the DPP ports.

Known Issues added in 08.01.19 / 08.01.20

IPv6: Eclipse sw loading through a FTP server (Provision) is not possible if using ODU300EP
ES-25142
in the network, as 300EP will not recognise IPv6 addresses
Portal : Shows only one DAC GE3 protection group when two are configured.
When configuring a DAC GE3 card to service two protected DPP links (P1,P2 one protected
link, P4,P5 the other), the connection graphic on the top right quadrant of the Portal screen
incorrectly displays one port as being not in any protected group. The configuration performs
ES-25314
as expected, this is a display error only.
Workaround is to go to Reports in Portal, make an HD file, then revert back to the
configuration screen again.

NMS : Sometimes connection fails after opening 4 or 5 portal sessions simultaneously on one
ES-25059 node. Workaround is to close session before opening others. A future release is planned to
improve this issue.
Strong Security: It should be noted that one or more of the following cipher suites should be
enabled before an upgrade to 8.1 is attempted in strong/FIPS security modes:

TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA
ES-25295
Strong Security users please note. The following four OpenSSL ciphers are now seen as
less secure than when first released and are therefore recommended not to be used:
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
 SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
 SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA

DAC GE3 Protected: After sw upgrade from 07.03.56 to 08.01.19/.20, Portal shows "Error
Merging values, Primary & Secondary do not match" in OAM tab.
Sometimes after a software upgrade, Portal may show the message "Error merging values,
ES-24201
Primary and Secondary do not match" in the OAM tab of the DAC plugin.
Workaround: To eliminate this phantom error, untick and tick the Ports in the OAM tab without
clicking the 'Send' button.

Important Considerations Before Upgrading Software

In this release there are several software upgrade and compatibility considerations that should be
noted and procedures followed to ensure a reliable upgrade with minimum traffic interruption as
follows:
Strong Security : It should be noted that one or more of the following cipher suites
should be enabled before an upgrade to 8.1 is attempted in strong/FIPS security modes:

TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA
ES-25295
Strong Security users please note. The following four OpenSSL ciphers are now seen
as less secure than when first released and are therefore recommended not to be used:
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
 SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
 SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA

They are still listed in Eclipse SW and normal operation is supported when any of these

ciphers are selected. In a future release Aviat will remove these four DHE ciphers.
Portal : A PC with a pre 5.3 version of Portal will not be able to communicate with a radio
that has been configured for secure management (Basic or Strong), until it has
acquired a 5.3 version of Portal.
ES-14902
The easiest way to update to a 5.3 version of Portal is to connect your Portal PC
to an Eclipse radio running version 5.3, with its security setting configured to
"none".
Portal: This note applies to customers who run software version 5.1 or earlier with basic
security enabled (requiring a user name and password to login in Portal) and who
decided to upgrade to software version 5.4 or later. The customer shall be aware
that passwords for "operator", "engineer", and "admin" users will be reset to
default values (port_op, port_eng, port-adm correspondingly) after the upgrade. In
some cases security mode will be also turned to "Off".
ES-16214
This happens starting version 5.4 the way how Eclipse stores password has been
changed to meet more strict FIPS 140-2 security requirements.
Customer shall reconfigure security mode and passwords to desired values after
the upgrade.
This is one time action. Further upgrades to subsequent software releases will not
reset passwords.
Portal: Software 5.4 and later changed RADIUS server value for "View" permission. It is
important that customers upgrading from 5.3 to 5.4 update their RADIUS server
ES-16346
user accounts. Failure to update RADIUS server accounts will result in Eclipse
denying PCR data download for users, who have only "View" permission.

Eclipse NCC Compact Flash Card Capacity Upgrade Issues

With the introduction of software LA 7.1 and later, the embedded software portion will no longer fit
onto a pre week 31, 2009 32 Mb partitioned card, irrespective of the module load.
Please ensure that the notes below are followed before a software upgrade to 7.1 or above.

The Compact Flash (CF) card for Eclipse holds configuration, software load, and license data. It
inserts into the side of the NCC plug-in used with the INU/INUe.
New plug-in modules, such as the RAC 60, RAC 6X,DAC GE3 and NCM, CF cards with increased
memory capacity are required and in some case new NCC cards.
Prior to July 2009, 32 Mbyte was the available capacity for Eclipse use (this is the internal partition
size programmed into the CF), and all CF cards were partitioned 32 Mb regardless of the labelled
total capacity of the CF.
Since July 2009 INUs have been shipped with CF cards with a 128 Mbyte capacity (or higher),
where the labelled capacity is the available capacity for Eclipse use.
NCC cards manufactured before January 2008 do not support access to CF cards partitioned larger
than 32Mbyte.

Before installing RAC 60, RAC 6X or DAC GE3 in an existing INU you must first check to see if
a higher capacity CF card is needed, and if so, that the NCC will also support the higher
capacity CF.

Compact Flash Capacity

If newer modules such as the RAC 60E, RAC 6XE, DAC GE3 or NCM are installed in INUs with a 32
Mbyte CF, FPGA loading problems are likely to be reported as a result of insufficient CF capacity.
The problem will be reported as an FPGA software load failure alarm.
INUs fitted with newer modules will require an un-partitioned CF card
If these cards are to be installed in an INU with a 32 Mbyte CF, the CF must first be replaced with a
un-partitioned ,higher capacity CF.
32 Mbyte CF cards can be determined from their serial number – those with serial numbers prior to
LLF0931*, LLG0931*, LLB0931*, or LLT0931* are not suitable.
The serial number is printed on the CF and is also viewable in the Portal Licensing screen.
Replacing the CF means the license serial number for the INU will change – the CF serial number is
the terminal license number.

 RELEASE NOTES
White Paper
When ordering a replacement CF, the licensed capacity plus any feature license(s) held on the
existing CF must be included with the order for the replacement. It is recommended that new NODE
Based licenses are used.
Compact Flash Compatibility with NCC
NCC cards manufactured before January 2008 will not operate correctly with CF cards that have an
available capacity greater than 32 Mbyte.
Where the CF is to be replaced to allow INU operation with newer modules, you must also check to
see if the NCC will support its use.
Compatible NCC modules are those with revision numbers equal to or higher than those shown in
the table below. Compatible NCCs can also be identified by an “A” label on the flash card holder.
Supply commenced in January 2008.

Description Part Number Revision Needed

NCC PCB Assembly 021-142100-001 019 or greater
NCC Module Assembly 131-142100-001 025 or greater

Location of revision numbers UNDER side of module

Scheduling Software Upgrades

Software updates should be activated during a maintenance window when a traffic outage can be
managed.
Traffic may be affected when upgrading software between two specific versions of software.
Modules that have updated FPGA software will suffer a momentary loss of traffic. The use of
Provision feature 'Scheduled Activation' to preload software, and schedule upgrades at low traffic
times of the day will help minimize disruption. Contact an Aviat Networks Technical Help Desk for
details, contact details are on page 2 of these release notes.

When upgrading software ensure the remote end of a link is upgraded before the local end.

Other Important Notes (bold added in 8.1 notes) :

 Note when ODU 300 EP is present in the terminal, an IPv4 address is required for
software loading.
 Care should be taken not to run OSPF and Static routing within the same internal OSPF
routing domain.

 If Portal loses communication with an IDU 300 SP radio when changing the IP address, restart
Portal to restore communication.

 Disable any PC firewalls before performing a software download.

 Eclipse Portal Software version 5.0 includes an upgrade to Java version 6.0. This later version
of Java provides improved memory management and operational performance. It provides a fix
for occasional low memory issues that have been reported on heavily loaded systems. It is
recommended that users install Eclipse Portal 5.0 or later from the Eclipse SW Setup CD or
from the Aviat Networks Customer Online Support site at www.support.aviatnetworks.com.
The note below, seen on Portal screens, relates to this issue.

 Note that this software includes open source items and as such users have a right to access
source code. Contact [email protected] for details.
