6.1 INTRODUCTION
This section contains descriptions of screens not used or described in other sections.
Where there are operational differences, DS1/E1, DS3, and OC3/STM-1 and/or ETH
screens are shown separately.
6.2 ANALOG SCREEN
See Figure 6 - 1 and Figure 6 - 2. The Analog screen is used to display real-time analog
voltages and radio performance monitors for the ELMC address. Analog voltages are
updated automatically every second. Reset performance parameters to zero using the
Error Reset button (or hotkey F3) on the toolbar. TIME SINCE LAST RESET displays
the time in days, hours, minutes, and seconds since the last error reset.
6.2.1 PA (DC MON)
Indicates PA RF output level (Vdc).
6.2.2 TX (PWR MON)
Indicates XMTR module RF output level (Vdc).
6.2.3 ATPC Voltage
Indicates ATPC CONTROL signal output from controller to XMTR module(s) (Vdc).
6.2.4 RX (RSL 1) dBm
Indicates AGC MON output level from RCVR module (dBm).
6.2.5 RX (EYE MON)
Relative measure of noise level of receive signal (Vdc).
6.2.6 RX (AFC MON)
Indicates AFC MON output from single RCVR module (-3 Vdc = nominal frequency).
(The AFC MON signal is developed from the correction voltage applied to the crystal
oscillator on the single RCVR module.) Not provided by design and replaced with Path
Distortion on dual RCVR module.
6.2.7 Battery Voltage
Indicates battery power input (Vdc).

6.3 DS1/E1 RADIO PERFORMANCE SCREEN
See Figure 6 - 3. The Analog Monitor screen is used to display real-time analog voltages
and radio performance monitors for the ELMC address. Analog voltages are updated
automatically every second. Reset performance parameters to zero using the Error
Reset button (or hotkey F3) on the toolbar. TIME SINCE LAST RESET displays the
time in days, hours, minutes, and seconds since the last error reset.
6.3.1 Repeater CRC Err Sec
Repeater CRC Errored Seconds, indicates number of seconds that contain coding viola-
tions, slips, or frame losses in the data over the repeater cable.
6.3.2 Radio Severe Err Sec
Radio Severe Errored Seconds, indicates number of seconds that contain a predeter-
mined number (N) of coding violations in the data over the RF path.
6.3.3 Radio Outage Sec
Radio Outage Seconds, indicates on-line RCVR errored seconds (number of seconds
that contain coding violations, slips, or frame losses in the data over the RF path).
6.3.4 Radio A and B Outage Sec
Radio A and B Outage Seconds, indicates on-line and off-line RCVR errored in the
same second.
6.3.5 Radio CRC Err Sec
Radio CRC Errored Seconds, indicates number of seconds that contain coding viola-
tions, slips, or frame losses in the data over the RF path.
6.3.6 Radio CRC Errors
Indicates number of errors in the data over the RF path.
6.3.7 Radio Internal BER
Indicates current BER of the data over the RF path.
6.3.8 Radio Average BER
Indicates average BER of the data over the RF path since last reset.

6.11.3 System Loopback
See Figure 6 - 18 for the system loopback functions. There are three system loopback
functions available on the Ethernet radio; Eth facility loopback, RC3 equipment loop-
back, and Eth equipment loopback. All loopbacks occur on the Ethernet I/O interface
module. The loopback functions are controlled by software via the SYSTEM LOOP-
BACK controls on the USI Control screen.
6.11.3.1 Eth Facility Loopback
Eth facility loopback is a local loopback function that can be used to test the perfor-
mance of a standalone radio. Eth Facility loopback is enabled by selecting A Eth Facil-
ity under SYSTEM LOOPBACK on the USI Control screen. This function loops the
Ethernet RCV/radio XMT (EthR/RT) input back into the Ethernet XMT/radio RCV
(EthT/RR) output. The actual loopback occurs in the PHY circuits on the I/O interface.
When enabled, the EthR/RT input is switched through the MUX to the EthT/RR out-
put. The Eth/R/RT input also continues through the MUX to the ETHRA FPGA.

RC3 equipment loopback is a local loopback function that can be used to test the per-
formance of a standalone radio. RC3 Equipment loopback is enabled by selecting A
RC3 Equipment under SYSTEM LOOPBACK on the USI Control screen. This func-
tion loops the Eth RCV/radio XMT (EthR/RT) input back into the EthXMT/radio RCV
(EthT/RR) output. The actual loopback occurs in the ETHRA FPGA on the I/O inter-
face. When enabled, the radio XMT (RT) output is switched through the MUX in the
ETHRA, replacing the radio RC (RR) input. The radio XMT (RT) output also continues
to the XMTR RT output.

6.11.3.3 Eth Equipment Loopback
Eth equipment Loopback is a farend loopback function that can be used to test the
over-the-hop performance of radios. Eth Equipment loopback is enabled by selecting A
Eth Equipment under SYSTEM LOOPBACK on the USI Control screen. This function
loops the radio RCV (RR) input into the radio XMT output. The actual loopback occurs
in the PHY circuits on the I/O interface. When enabled, the radio RCV (RR) input is
switched through the MUX in the ETHRA and through the MUX in the PHY, replacing
the Eth RCV/radio XMT (EthR/RT) output to the ETHRA. The radio RCV (RR) input
also continues through the MUX in the PHY to the EthT/RR output.
6.11.4 DS1 Line Loopback
There are two individual DS1 line loopback functions available on the Ethernet radio
Control screen; Line facility Loopback and Line Equipment Loopback. All loopbacks
occur on the Ethernet I/O interface module. The DS1 line loopback functions are con-
trolled by software via the DS1 LINE LOOPBACK controls on the USI Control screen.
6.11.4.1 DS1 Line Facility Loopback
See Figure 6 - 19 for functional block diagram. DS1 facility loopback is a local loopback
function that can be used to test the performance of a standalone radio. Individual
DS1 line facility loopback is enabled by selecting Line 1, 2, 3, or 4 Facility under DS1
LINE LOOPBACK on the USI Control screen. This function loops the DS1 RX1, 2, 3,
or 4 Tip and Ring inputs to the DS1 TX1, 2, 3, or 4 Tip and Ring outputs. The actual
loopback occurs in the QuadFalc FPGA on the I/O interface. When enabled, the DS1,
RX1, 2, 3, or 4 Tip and Ring inputs are switched through the MUX in the QuadFalc,
replacing the radio inputs from the ETHRA. The radio DS1 Rx1, 2, 3, or 4 Tip and Ring
output of the QuadFalc also continues to the ETHRA FPGA.
6.11.4.2 DS1 Line Equipment Loopback
See Figure 6 - 20 for a functional block diagram. DS1 Equipment Loopback is a farend
loopback function that can be used to test the performance of radios over the hop. Indi-
vidual Line Equipment facility loopback is enabled by selecting Line 1, 2, 3, or 4
Equipment under DS1 LINE LOOPBACK on the USI Control screen. This function
loops the DS1 TX1, 2, 3, or 4 Tip and Ring inputs from the RCV circuits on the ETHRA
to the DS1 RX1, 2, 3, or 4 Tip and Ring outputs of the QuadFalc to the XMT circuits in
the ETHRA. The loopback occurs in the QuadFalc FPGA on the I/O interface. When
enabled by the switch command, the DS1 TX1, 2, 3, or 4 Tip and Ring inputs are
switched through the MUX in the QuadFalc, replacing the radio DS1 inputs from the
AUX interface. The radio DS1 TX1, 2, 3, or 4 output of the QuadFalc continues to the
AUX interface board.

6.11.5 Inventory Screen
See Figure 6 - 21 for Inventory Screen. The inventory screen is used to display current
shelf inventory, including module type number, module part number, hardware revi-
sion, software revision (if applicable), serial number, and remarks (if any).
Inventory is automatically updated if modules are replaced. Manual changes to the
inventory list on the screen are performed only in the factory.
