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.

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.
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.
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

Field Description
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.

Setting ATPC
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.
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.
N O TE: O n CCDP/XPIC links ATPC s hould be OFF on both links to help
optimize XPIC oper ation. This es pec ially applies w her e antenna c r os s -

maximum.
l To confirm the Max/Min Tx Power and Target Remote Fade Margin, click Apply.
l Read the resulting Remote Fade Margin and verify it is within 3 dB of the planned
fade margin for the link.
l Read the Detected Tx Power for the link and verify it is within 3 dB of the planned
Tx power for the link.
l Reset the Max Tx Power, if required, to a lower level. A lower level may be
specified within the link operating license issued by the local regulatory
authority. Max Tx Power should be set not less than 7 dB above the Detected Tx
Power, to provide headway for ATPC action in the event of a path fade.
l Reset the Min Tx Power to the normal (prevailing) Detected Tx Power, or to a
level not more than 3 dB to 6 dB below the Detected Tx Power. This setting will
safe-limit the minimum if the fade conditions lead to rapid and large Tx power
movement.
l To commit the configuration, click Apply and Save .
l Monitor ATPC operation to ensure it is providing the expected benefits under the
prevailing path conditions. Where indicated, ATPC settings should be optimized,
or in situations of frequent, fast and high fading it may be best to disable ATPC.
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.
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:
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.
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
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.
Procedure
l Go to Radio Configuration - Radio Link Diagnostics.
l Select the required diagnostic(s) and duration, then click Start.
l A duration time can be canceled at any time by clicking the check box and
selecting Off, then clicking Apply.
Item Value
Radio Link Name and port location of radio link.
RFU Details Associated RFU.
RFU Mute Applies a Tx mute for the set duration.
Modulation Lock Use the timer to set the modulation to be locked-on for a set duration.
Applies only on an adaptive modulation link. The selection options are
the Base-to-Max modulation range as set in the Radio Link screen.
Item Value
IF Loopback Use the timer to set a loopback duration. The IF loopback applies a
loopback at the RAC-to-ODU/RFU IF interface. A Tx mute is applied. All
traffic is affected.
XPD on BNC Use the timer to set the duration for an XPD voltage to be available on
the ODU BNC connector, replacing the RSSI voltage. Applicable during
antenna alignment on CCDP/XPIC links.
Carrier Only Use the timer to set a RF carrier-only signal (no modulation).
Applications include frequency measurement and true RMS power
measurement using external measurement devices.
RFU Power Disable Use the timer to disable the RFU power. Applicable during change-
out of an ODU/RFU. The -48 Vdc supply is disconnected to pre-
vent arcing/surging during device disconnection/connection to
thereby ensure traffic on other ports is not affected.
IDQ Optimization Enables quiescent current (IDQ) optimization. If this is available, the
button is active as shown:
This button only displays for an ODU or IRU that has a GaN Power
Amplifier, currently all 6 GHz and 11 GHz, ODU 600, ODU 600T, and IRU
600 Eclipse devices. This button resets the IDQ on the PA to a value that
equates to optimum transmitted SNR.
Note that:
During the optimization process all traffic on the link is interrupted
for between 0.5 and 3 seconds.
This is only required when link SNR is found to be degraded under
normal path conditions. Check these values every quarter.
On a protected 1+1 or space diversity link the optimization process
must be performed separately on online and offline ODUs/IRUs.
When it is performed on an online ODU/IRU a protection
switch is forced.
It can be performed on the offline ODU/IRU without
impacting the online ODU/IRU.
Radio Protection
This screen supports the creation and configuration of protected radio interfaces. It allows
