CHAPTER 2 NAVIGATION AND MENUS

Logging into CTR Portal


Logging into CTR Portal for a CTR device requires knowledge of the specific IP address for
the device, and your own user name and password.

Login Prerequisites
l Before standard users log in, an Administrator must set up basic settings using
CLI. This includes provisioning of an IP address, user-names and passwords,
VLAN configuration, etc. Refer to the CTR 8500/8300 Getting Started Guide.
l Default access is provided as out-of-band (OOB) management on VLAN 2, on
switch-port 1, using a static IP address of 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0.
l CTR Portal requires a minimum display resolution of 1024 x 768.
l The PC setup requirements (LAN-compatible IP address and RJ-45 cable
connected) must be in place. See the detailed instructions below.

Login Notes
l The default user name and password are:
l user name - root
l password - admin123
l Users have security settings applied to their profile. Screens or menu items may
be hidden due to security settings for a user, or a "Not Authorized" page will
display. The default admin123 access provides full administrative rights.
l Although more than one user can log into a device at the same time, Aviat
Networks recommends that only one user does so to avoid potential for
configuration conflict.

PC Setup
Before you login to CTR Portal:
l Your PC must be set to have a LAN-compatible IP address (i.e., your PC must
operate as a device on the same LAN as the CTR)
l An RJ-45 (Cat5) cable must be connected from your PC Local Area Connection
port to the CTR management port, which is default switch-port 1.

Setting a compatible IP address (Windows 7):


l Click on the Internet Access icon in the System Tray of your PC screen, then
click on Open Network and Sharing Centerr. Or from the Control Panel select
Network and Sharing Center.
l Under Access Type Internet select Local Area Connection, which brings up Local
Area Connection Status.
l Select Properties.

ex istin g settin g s, w h ich m ay p ertain to you r com p an y LAN .
o Select Use the following IP address, and in the IP address field enter a LAN
compatible IP address for the CTR. For example, with a CTR IP address of
92.168.1.1, you can enter 192.168.1.2.
o Set a Subnet mask of 25.225.225.0 (same as the CTR).
o Only set a default gateway where other CTRs on the same LAN are to be
viewed via this connection.
o To save these changes and close the screen, click OK.

Login Procedure
l Connect your PC Local Area Connection port to the CTR management port
(default switch-port 1).
l Launch a web browser on your computer. Use one of the following web
browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Google Chrome.
l Enter the Switch IP address in the address bar of the web page. For example, if
the IP address of the Switch interface is 192.168.1.1, then enter
http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar.
N O TE: If HTTPS is enabled in the CL I, you c an als o enter an HTTPS

Revert Timer

Enter the Revert Timer value in seconds, and enable/disable it using


the button. The value range is 300 to 3600 seconds. The Revert Timer
action is as follows:
It is default set to Disabled.
When set and allowed to time-out it will revert to the previously
saved configuration, at which point the timer will be returned to
Disabled.
When set during a configuration process (and not timed-out) it will
re-start the countdown each time the Apply tab is clicked.
The timer can be disabled by selecting Disabled at any time up to
the time-out time. This action applies where it is clear there is no
need to revert to the previously saved configuration.
A typical application is where the configuration of remote-end
terminals has the potential to remove communication with the
remote terminal(s). With the revert timer engaged it means you
will be able to recover communications in such an event (revert to
the previously saved configuration).

Authentication Mode The Authentication Mode controls whether TACACS+


or local authentication procedures are to be used for
user authentication processing. The options are:
Enabled – Authentication of the user will be
attempted by interrogating the registered TACACS+
servers. If a server cannot be contacted, the login
authentication will fail.
Enable and Fallback to Local – Authentication of the
user will be performed by interrogating the
registered TACACS+ servers. If a TACACS+ server
cannot be contacted then local authentication of the
user will be attempted.
Disabled – Authentication of the user will be
attempted by local authentication procedures.
TACACS+ will not be used to authenticate the user.
Enable Accounting Select the check box to enable logging of login, logout,
and CLI command execution events at the active
registered TACACS+ server. If the check is removed, no
logging of events will occur.
Timeout Enter the maximum time period in seconds for which
an attempt to contact a TACACS+ server will be made.
If contact with the server is not established within this
time period, it is assumed the server is not
contactable. The value range is 1 – 10 seconds. But, a
value of 3s or less is recommended in order to reduce
delays introduced to the login process if servers are
uncontactable.
If a server timeout occurs in this way, another server
may be tried if more than one servers are registered. It
may fallback to local authentication procedures if
Authentication Mode is set to Enable and Fallback to
Local.
TACACS+
This section allows for up to three TACACS+ servers to be registered. The inform-
ation here has to match the parameters of the available TACACS+ servers.
# The number in this column (1,2 or 3) indicates
the priority of the server, with 1 being the highest
priority and 3 the lowest. The server with the

Link Aggregation
This screen supports Layer 1 link aggregation by enabling users to group radio links and
protected radio links into a single logical interface.
L1LA implementation on the CTR is very hardware specific. Note the following
requirements for CTR 8540:
l A maximum of 2 groups can be configured.
l If one group is configured a maximum of eight interfaces (radio or protected) may
be grouped together.
l If two groups are configured, each group may only contain four interfaces (radio
or protected).
l Only radio ports can be included, not Ethernet ports.
l Only radio ports or protected interfaces may be added to a L1LA group.
l The far end configuration must match that of near end.
l When two L1LA groups are configured each group can only have a maximum of
two odd and two even numbered interfaces.
o Being odd or even is defined by the port number, e.g., interface 1/2/1 (chassis
1, slot 2, port 1) is an odd interface.
o For a protected link, being odd or even is determined by the lowest port
number of the protected pairing, e.g., primary 4/2, secondary 4/1, counts as
odd.
n With four links per group there must be two odd and two even

interfaces.
n With three links per group there can be two odd and one even numbered
interface, or vice versa.
n With two links per group there can be two odd, two even, or one odd and
one even.
o CTR Portal guards against an incorrect selection.

Note the following requirements for CTR 8300:


l A maximum of 1 group can be configured.
l A maximum of 2 interfaces may be grouped together.

VLAN Introduction
Default Configuration
At initial boot up all switch ports are untagged interfaces and are members of the default
VLAN, which makes them all part of the same broadcast domain. This allows any network
device connected to any switch port to communicate with other devices on other switch
ports.
l Ingressing untagged and tagged frames are available to all ports as members of
VLAN 1. At egress (on untagged interfaces) all tags are stripped.

VLAN Types Supported


Default (Native) VLAN
The default VLAN is VLAN 1. It has all the features of any VLAN, except that you cannot
rename (change its VID) or delete it.

73 JANUARY 2018 AVIAT NETWORKS


SWITCHING AND ROUTING CONFIGURATION CHAPTER 5

l Ingressing untagged traffic is assigned the PVID of the default VLAN (is tagged by
the PVID of the default VLAN).
o At switch egress on an untagged interface the VLAN tag is stripped.
o At switch egress on a tagged interface the VLAN tag is retained.
o See Untagged and Tagged Interfaces below.
l The default VLAN can be changed away from VLAN 1 on any interface i.e. port
membership of VLAN 1 can be removed/changed.

Management VLAN
The management VLAN is a VLAN configured to access the management capabilities of a
switch. The VLAN is assigned an IP address and subnet mask.

Data VLAN
A data VLAN refers to VLAN tagged traffic where the VLAN is configured to carry user-
generated traffic.

Untagged and Tagged Interfaces


Untagged Interface
Untagged and tagged frames are allowed to ingress, but only untagged frames are allowed
to egress; ingressing tagged frames have their tag stripped at egress.

Tagged Interface
Tagged and untagged frames are allowed to ingress, but only tagged frames are allowed to
egress.
l Ingressing tagged frames retain their tag at egress.
l Ingressing untagged frames retain the default tag applied at ingress.

Setting of untagged and tagged interfaces between the VLAN and VLAN by Interface screens
is inter-dependent. Warnings are raised when conflicts occur.

VLAN Screen
This screen supports VLAN Configuration and VLAN Global Configuration.
VLAN Global default opens to Customer (802.1Q) bridge mode.

Bridge Mode
Global provides options to change to:
l Provider-Edge (802.1ad) Bridge mode. See VLAN on page 73.
l Transparent VLAN Bridge mode. See Transparent Bridge Mode on page 85

VLAN 2.
l VLAN 1 port membership includes all ports as untagged interfaces. It is default
assigned an IP address of 0.0.0.0.
l VLAN 2 (on port 1) is the default (primary) management VLAN and is default
assigned an IP address of 192.168.1.1. and mask of 255.255.255.0.

The configuration options enabled through this view include:


l Changing the management IP address and setting the primary management
VLAN. The revert timer must be enabled to allow management address change.
l Add the VLANs to be recognized on the bridge through the setting of their VID,
name (optional), management IP address (where applicable), and membership of
tagged or untagged interfaces. For each VLAN a member interface can be tagged,
or untagged - not both.
o Interfaces selected as tagged allow the ingress of tagged and untagged
frames but only tagged frames are allowed to egress.
o Interfaces specified as untagged allow the ingress of untagged and tagged
frames but only untagged frames are allowed to egress.
o Untagged frames ingressing on tagged or untagged interfaces are tagged by
the default VLAN. The default VLAN is VLAN 1.
o The default VLAN can be changed per interface in the VLAN by Interface
screen. However, to permit such a change the new default VLAN must first be
added in the VLAN screen.
l A Forbidden Interface selection is available to block the selected interface(s) from
being added to the VLAN where dynamic VLANs are configured through GVRP (not
supported at SW release 3.4).
l If ports are configured as Router Ports (Interface by VLAN screen) such ports will

CHAPTER 5 SWITCHING AND ROUTING CONFIGURATION

l Port Mode, with options of Hybrid, Access, or Trunk.


o Hybrid, the default Port Mode, permits egress of tagged and untagged and
priority tagged frames.
n The associated Acceptable Frame Type allows selection of All (default),
Tagged, or Untagged and Priority Tagged frames.
n If changed to Tagged the interface becomes a tagged interface and this will
be matched against the VLAN screen.
n If changed to Untagged and Priority Tagged the interface becomes an
untagged interface and this will be matched against the VLAN screen.
n NOTE: A warning will be provided where a conflict occurs at a change of
Acceptable Frame Type. Bear in mind that an interface can be tagged or
untagged - not both, and that an interface can be a member of multiple
VLANs some of which may have tagged member interfaces and others
untagged.
o Access permits egress of untagged or priority tagged frames. Selection of
Access sets the interface as untagged, and this will be matched against the
VLAN screen.
n A priority tagged frame does not carry a VLAN ID; the 802.1Q tag specifies
only a priority and is referred to as a priority tag.
o Trunk permits egress of tagged frames only. Selection of an interface as
Trunk sets that interface as a member of all configured VLANs.
o NOTE: A warning will be provided where a conflict occurs at a change of Port
Mode, such as will occur on a change to Access (untagged or priority tagged
frames only) if the interface is a tagged member of a VLAN.
l Acceptable Frame Type provides an option with Hybrid Port Mode to select All
(tagged, untagged or priority tagged frames, tagged only, or untagged or priority
tagged only - as above. For port modes of Access or Trunk it confirms the
acceptable frame type indicated above.
l Default Priority is used to set the 802.1p priority bits within the VLAN tag for
frames to be tagged by the switch. 8 levels are provided, with 0 the lowest (best
effort) and 7 the highest. 0 is the default.
o Operation applies to ingressing untagged frames, which are tagged at ingress
by the Default VLAN PVID.
l Default VLAN is the VLAN (PVID) applied per interface on untagged frames. The
default is VLAN 1. If this is to be changed, the new default VLAN must first be
added in the VLAN screen.
l VLAN Membership indicates the VLAN membership for each of the interfaces as
set in the VLAN screen. A drop-down menu lists all VLANs configured in the VLAN
screen with an option to include the interface as a tagged or untagged member of
a configured VLAN, or to exclude the interface from a VLAN membership. Any

CHAPTER 5 SWITCHING AND ROUTING CONFIGURATION

Provider Edge Bridge Mode


A provider edge bridge is used at the edge of a service provider network to provide
demarcation between customer and provider networks. At ingress customer VLANs (C-
VLANs) are encapsulated inside a provider VLAN (S-VLAN), and the provider VLAN is used
to determine traffic forwarding within the provider network. At egress the provider VLAN tag
is stripped.
The provider edge bridge is logically divided into C-VLAN (customer) and S-VLAN (service
provider) components, with internal mapping between.
l The designation of a port as a Customer Edge Port (CEP) implies Provider Edge
Bridge functionality and, specifically, the existence of a C-VLAN component
associated with that port.
l At ingress the C-VLAN bridge component supports selective frame acceptance
(filtering) and identification based on the presence of customer VLAN tagged
frames.
o The filtering includes options of tagged only, or untagged and tagged.
l The S-VLAN bridge component is responsible for tagging customer frames with
S-VLAN tags in the ingress direction and removing S-VLAN tags in the egress
direction.
o It is also responsible for running the provider's bridge protocols.
o Each customer is assigned to one service instance (S-VLAN), which can apply
to multiple VLANs (C-VLANs) per customer.
o Up to 10 service bridge instances can be configured per CTR.
o Ingressing C-VLANs are tagged by the S-VLAN (frames are double tagged).
o Ingressing untagged customer traffic are tagged by the S-VLAN.
o Options are provided to remove the C-Tag at ingress and/or to remove C-Tag
at egress.
To allow continued local PC management access, the port type for management access
when in Provider Edge Bridge mode must be set to Proprietary Provider Network Port, and
is auto set to this port type at initiation of Provider Edge Bridge mode.

Transparent Bridge Mode


Transparent Bridge mode is a non-native mode. It operates through a special port
membership configuration on a customer bridge to ensure tagged and untagged traffic is
forwarded without modification.
Operation is enabled by:
l Creation of VLAN 4094 to which all interfaces are added as untagged interfaces.
o The Default VLAN PVID (VLAN by Interface screen) is set to 4094 on all
interfaces EXCEPT the local 'out-of-band' NMS interface.
n The local management interface retains its PVID, which is default VLAN 2
on interface gi 0/1.
o Untagged frames received on one member port are forwarded to all other
member ports of VLAN 4094.
o The internal VLAN 4094 tag (default VLAN) applied at ingress is stripped at
egress, to provide transparent communication for untagged frames.
o NOTE: VLAN 4094 must not be used as a customer data or management VLAN.
l The use of VLAN 1 to which all interfaces (including all tagged NMS interfaces)
are added as tagged ports.
o Tagged frames received on one member port are forwarded to all other
member ports of VLAN 1.
o Tagged frames retain their tag at egress to provide transparent
communication for tagged frames.
l Any existing/user configured VLANs configured on the bridge (those added in the
VLAN screen) operate as normal. For example if VLAN 77 is configured and has
ports gi 0/5 and gi 0/6 as members, only gi 0/5 and gi 0/6 will egress this VLAN.
Such VLANs do not operate transparently across all interfaces.
o This also applies to the management VLAN for VLAN aware NMS. On the
bridge the management VLAN must be manually configured.
l The Port Mode / Acceptable Frame Type is set to Hybrid / All on all interfaces.
l If a plug-in module is subsequently installed into a CTR8540, its interface(s) must
be manually added to support transparent mode.

Enabling Transparent Bridge Mode


l Set the Revert Timer.
l Click on Transparent VLAN Mode.

OSPF CHAPTER 6

Chapter 6. OSPF
OSPF is a link state protocol that distributes routing information between routers within a
single IP domain, or 'autonomous system' (AS). Each router (CTR) maintains a database
describing the topology of the AS, with each participating router maintaining an identical
database from the perspective of that router.
OSPF routers exchange state, cost, and other relevant interface information with neighbors
through maintenance of tables for:
l A neighbor table that contains all the recognized OSPF neighbors.
l A link state database (LSDB) topology table that contains all routers in the
network and their attached links.
l A routing table ( forwarding database) that contains a list of the best paths to
various destinations.

From the LSDB, each router constructs a tree of shortest paths, using itself as the root. The
shortest path tree provides the route to each destination in the AS. When several equal-cost
routes to a destination exist, traffic can be distributed among them. The cost of a route is
described by a single metric.
An AS can be divided into multiple areas to provide improved scalability.
l An area is a logical collection of networks, the topology of which is concealed
from the other areas in the AS to reduce OSPF protocol traffic.
l The benefits can be a significant reduction in the size of the routing table and
associated decrease in OSPF route calculation time and LSDB size.

Within a multi-access (broadcast) network segment, a designated router (DR) and backup
designated router are elected. Each non-DR or non-BDR router exchanges routing
information only with the DR and BDR, instead of exchanging updates with every router in the
area. The DR then distributes topology information to every other router inside the same
area resulting in much reduced OSPF traffic.
The OSPF backbone area, area 0.0.0.0, must be contiguous and all other areas must be
connected to the backbone area. The backbone distributes routing information between
areas.
Routing in the AS takes place on two levels, depending on whether the source and
destination of a packet reside in the same area (intra-area routing) or different areas (inter-
area routing).
l With intra-area routing packets are routed solely on information obtained within
the area; no routing information obtained from outside the area is used, and every
router that belongs to the same area has an identical topological database for that
area.
l With inter-area routing the routers that belong to more than one area are 'area
border routers' (ABRs). These maintain separate topological databases for each
area they are connected to.

N O TE: Refer als o to ATPC G uidelines for Adaptive Modulation on page 110

This procedure is based on the prevailing path conditions being typical during the setup
procedure, that is, not subject to rain fade or other fade conditions and assumes the Target
Fade Remote Margin is the primary driver for establishing the settings.
The objective is to check that the Target Remote Fade Margin and the Detected Tx Power are
within +/- 3 dB of the planned figures for the link, and that there is appropriate Tx Power
headroom for correct ATPC operation.

Target Remote Fade Margin


This is the desired fade margin for the remote-end RAC/RFU. Depending on the path design
this should be set at a level which will allow head room for the local Tx power, while
ensuring an adequate fade margin. Not doing so can cause Tx power to rise to the maximum
permitted, and to stay at maximum.

Detected Remote Fade Margin


Detected using RSL and SNR data received from the remote radio.

AVIAT NETWORKS JANUARY 2018 108


CHAPTER 7 RADIO CONFIGURATION

If the RSL and/or SNR values are too low then the local Tx power is increased until the
Target Fade Margin is achieved, or until the maximum Tx power setting is reached,
whichever occurs first.
Similarly, if the RSL value is too high, then the local Tx power is decreased until the target
fade margin is achieved, or until the minimum Tx power setting is reached, whichever
occurs first.
Under normal operating conditions the Target Remote Fade Margin and the Remote Fade
Margin should indicate within 2 dB of each other.

Tx Power
Mouse-over for the permitted maximum and minimum values for the ODU/RFU. Maximum
values are band specific, and modulation dependent. It is also license dependent for FPM
ODUs/RFUs.
l The operating license for the link may limit Max Tx Power to a setting below the
maximum permitted by the ODU/RFU.
l The minimum power must be set such that under normal operating conditions a
satisfactory fade margin is preserved (it should not be set too low).
l Max to min represents the Tx power control range for the ODU/RFU.

Detected Tx Power
This is the detected/measured Tx power. With ATPC enabled it provides an indication of the
actual Tx power, which under normal conditions should be inside the maximum and
minimum Tx power settings (not hard up against the max and min). When ATPC is disabled,
the Detected Tx Power indication should be within 0.2 dB of the set Tx Power.

ATPC Guidelines for Adaptive Modulation


ATPC is required for an adaptive modulation (ACM) selection. The ATPC user-entry fields are
identical to those supported for fixed modulation.
Under adaptive modulation, ATPC is optimized to improve received SNR at the far end,
and consequently push for a modulation increase (up to the maximum configured
modulation).
Modulation changes are primarily determined by receiver SNR thresholds. Each
configured modulation has an improve SNR threshold and a degrade SNR threshold.
l SNR is the sole criteria for step-downs (degrade).
l SNR with ATPC settings are used for step-ups (improve).

When the receiver SNR reaches the improve threshold, and the target remote fade margin
is maintained, a modulation switch request is sent to the remote transmitter which results
in the transmitted modulation from the remote end changing to the next higher throughput
modulation. Similarly, if the receiver SNR goes below the degrade threshold, a modulation
switch request is sent, resulting in the transmitted modulation from the remote end
changing to the next lower throughput modulation.
l The improve and degrade thresholds incorporate a level of hysteresis to prevent
modulation oscillations occurring.

Adaptive modulation should not be used on CCDP/XPIC links where the V+H antenna cross-
pol discrimination (XPD) is less than 25 dB, or the link path is long/difficult. Link XPD is
available in the Statistics > Radio Link screen.

AVIAT NETWORKS JANUARY 2018 110


CHAPTER 7 RADIO CONFIGURATION

Under adaptive modulation the ATPC Target Remote Fade Margin (TRFM) maximum is
limited on some modulation and Tx power combinations to ensure modulation step-up
(improve) operates as intended.

FCC Implementation
N O TE: The FCC Compliant ATPC s elec tion applies only to link oper ation
under FCC jur is dic tion w her e the c oor dination notic e per mits a
c oor dinated Tx pow er les s than the maximum Tx pow er under ATPC.

FCC guidelines support use of ATPC to establish a coordinated Tx power, a power lower than
a maximum Tx power, for the purposes of calculating interference into victim receivers.
These guidelines are provided within TIA TSB 10-F, Interference Criteria for Microwave
Systems.
From TIA TSB 10-F, the Tx powers associated with an ATPC system included on the
coordination notice may be summarized as:
l Maximum Transmit Power. The Tx power that will not be exceeded at any time.
l Coordinated Transmit Power. The Tx power selected by the ATPC system
licensee as the power to be used in calculating interference levels into victim
receivers. The Coordinated Transmit Power is restricted to a 0 to 10 dB range
below the Maximum Transmit Power.
l Nominal (Normal) Transmit Power. The Tx power at or below the Coordinated
Transmit Power at which the system will operate in normal, unfaded conditions.
The Normal Transmit Power must be less than or equal to the Coordinated
Transmit Power.

At least a 10 dB fade must occur before the Coordinated Transmit Power is exceeded.
In order to claim a coordinated Tx power less than the maximum Tx power, certain
restrictions on the time that this power is exceeded during the course of one year must be
met, and a timer function applies to ensure that maximum power is not sustained for more
than five continuous minutes.
l The annual restrictions set out the time permitted (as an annual percentage)
above the coordinated Tx Power.
l These time percentages are determined using applicable reliability calculations.
l The process determines the lowest permitted coordinated Tx power (within a
range of 0 to 10 dB below maximum Tx power).
l The timer function ensures Tx power under ATPC control is not sustained at
maximum power for more than five continuous minutes so as to prevent a
condition from holding Tx power at the maximum for an extended period of time
without advice to the link/network operator.
l ATPC operation must be RSL based only.

Within CTR this process is supported by an FCC Compliant tickbox, which is made available
whenever ATPC is enabled. When FCC Compliant is selected it enables:

111 JANUARY 2018 AVIAT NETWORKS


RADIO CONFIGURATION CHAPTER 7

l A five minute timer function. When maximum Tx power is sustained for 5


continuous minutes, Tx power is momentarily reduced by 10 dB and an
informational event of "ATPC Pwr temporarily reduced by 10 dB" is logged in the
management system Events Browser.
o If operating conditions continue to cause the link to operate at maximum Tx
power for 5 consecutive minutes, the process of reducing maximum Tx power
by 10dB and logging an informational event is applied again.
o If the Tx power is reduced from maximum during a 5 minute countdown, the
timer function is reset.
l RSL-only ATPC operation.

Note that:
l FCC Compliant need only be selected when a coordinated power less than max
power has been approved for the link.
l If the coordinated power = max power, ATPC is not required.
l If coordinated power = max power and you still wish to use ATPC, you do not need
to select FCC Compliant.
l The informational event logged on 5 minute timeout at maximum Tx power must
be visible to the network operator (not excluded from reported events).

Where fading events, such as rain fading, can cause maximum Tx power periods much
longer than five continuous minutes, the path might best be coordinated at maximum Tx
power.

ATPC Settings for a Coordinated or Normal Transmit Power


N O TE: ATPC oper ation mus t ens ur e that c oor dinated and maximum Tx
pow er s c omply w ith r equir ements s et out in the lic ens e c oor dination
notic e.

CTR ATPC settings enable configuration of maximum Tx power, minimum Tx power, and a
target remote fade margin.
The target remote fade margin (TRFM) sets the ATPC trigger point, the point at which Tx
power begins to ramp up, dB for dB during a path fade (increments/decrements are in 0.1
dB steps). The TRFM is used to establish a normal Tx power 10 dB below coordinated to
satisfy the requirement that at least a 10 dB fade must occur before coordinated power is
exceeded.
l Maximum (and minimum) Tx power setting is ODU/RFU and frequency band
specific. Refer to CTR ANSI datasheets.
l The Tx power control range (maximum to minimum) under ATPC is modulation
dependent.
l Coordinated Tx power is not provided as an ATPC setting. It is established at its
licensed level by setting normal Tx power at a point 10 dB below coordinated Tx
power. This is to ensure that a 10 dB fade occurs before the coordinated Tx power

AVIAT NETWORKS JANUARY 2018 112


CHAPTER 7 RADIO CONFIGURATION

is exceeded.
l For example, if the maximum Tx power is 25 dBm, and the coordinated Tx power
is 5 dB lower at 20 dBm, the normal Tx power should be established 10 dB lower
at 10 dBm. This setting of normal Tx power means the required 10 dB fade (down
from normal) occurs before the coordinated Tx power is exceeded.
l Normal Tx power is established using the ATPC target remote fade margin
(TRFM) setting. This sets the desired fade margin for the remote-end ODU/RFU.
Tx power is adjusted so that the TRFM is met. Actual (measured) fade margin is
confirmed by the remote fade margin (RFM). No adjustment of Tx power occurs
when RFM nominally matches the TRFM.
l Minimum Tx power can be set at normal Tx power - or no lower than 5 dB below
normal Tx power. This is to safe-limit the minimum when fade conditions lead to
rapid and large Tx power movement. Note that like maximum Tx power, minimum
Tx power is control range limited.
l On completion of the settings, monitor ATPC operation to ensure it is providing
expected operation under the prevailing path conditions.
