1 Introduction
1.1
Radio Description
The MDR24/5800-SR and Orion24/5810-SRi are ISM band digital radio systems that
provide short to medium range, point-to-point digital communication with high data
security at rates of T1, 2T1 or 4T1. Alternatively, the radio can be software configured
to convey E1, 2E1 or 4E1. The radio can also be configured to bridge or route IP via a
10BaseT port. The data rates scale depending on the number of enabled T1/E1
tributaries and whether the data is being bridged or routed. The products make use of
spread spectrum technology and may be operated license-free in the 2.4GHz and
5.8GHz ISM bands.
The Orion 24/5825–SR and Orion24/5050–SR are similar radios also operating in the
2.4 and 5.8GHz ISM bands respectively. Modulation can be switched between 16 and
32 QAM with digital output scalable up to 16T1/E1 depending on the specific radio.
The radios are ideal for applications such as:
•
Cellular/PCS base station interconnects.
•
Telecommunications companies, cellular operators and private carriers.
•
State Local and Federal Government communication systems.
•
Video surveillance data distribution.
•
Power utilities.
•
Petroleum/gas collection companies.
•
Rural communications.
•
Emergency/disaster telephone service restoration.
•
Internet distribution.
The radio consists of two main parts:
•
An RF Unit operating in the 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz ISM frequency bands.
This could be an MDR2400ET, MDR5800, Orion2410i, Orion5810i or an Orion
5850 unit. The units with an “i” suffix is 1U Indoor RFUs.
•
A Digital Indoor Unit, available with a Telecommunications (0 to 16T1/E1
depending on the radio) interface and a Data interface (10BaseT Ethernet).
This could be an MDRTE, an MDRETU (75 Ohm BNC), Orion10, Orion25 or an
Orion50 (10/100BaseT) unit. All DIUs operate with the MDR2400ET, MDR5800
and Orion24/5810i RFUs. Only the Orion type DIUs operate with the Orion type
RFUs. For the Orion DIUs, the numerical value in the unit name roughly
resembles the maximum data capacity of the unit.
Interconnection between the RF Unit and Digital Indoor Unit is achieved using a lowcost UV-protected STP (Screened Twisted Pair: 4 pairs) data cable and a UVprotected 2-core power cable. The split Digital Indoor Unit and RF Unit configuration
is used for the lowest loss between the antenna and the transceiver, thereby ensuring
optimal long-range performance.
The RF Units use a Type-N RF (female) output connector for connection to a coaxial
cable jumper when co-located with a 2.4 GHz or a 5.8 GHz antenna for applications
where long range is required.
862-01881 Issue 13
Page 10
Orion and MDR Digital Radios
The RF Unit can also be located remote from the antenna (tower base or indoor
mounted). The RF connector is then connected to the antenna via a coaxial
transmission line. An optional indoor rack mounting adapter is available for mounting
the RFU, indoors.
The system is available for use in FCC regulated countries.

User Data
MDR2400, MDR5800 or
Orion 5850 OU
MDR / Orion IU
User Data
The radio stations consists of two main parts:
•
An RF Unit operating in the 2.4GHz or 5.8 GHz ISM frequency bands. The RF
Unit provides the radio transceiver functionality by accepting radio link data from
the Digital Indoor Unit and converting it to the 2.4GHz or 5.8 GHz ISM frequency
band using spread spectrum or QAM modulation. The received signal is demodulated and transmitted to the Digital Indoor Unit in a digital format.
•
A Digital Indoor Unit, available with 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 T1 or E1 data interfaces
(choice of T1 or E1 is software selectable). The Digital Indoor Unit combines nT1
or nE1 data with Wayside Service Channel serial data and link IP data to be
transmitted across the radio link. The Digital Indoor Unit also provides power to
the RF Unit. The E1/T1 data interface is provided through an optional removable
Interface Card.
Interconnection between RF Unit and Digital Indoor Unit is achieved using low cost
data and power cables.
2.2
RF Unit
The MDR2400, MDR5800, Orion2410i and Orion5810i RF Units make use of Spread
Spectrum modulation technology for license-free operation in the 2.4GHz and 5.8 GHz
ISM bands.
The Orion2450 RF Unit uses three software selectable bandwidths for license-free
operation in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The Orion5850 RF Unit uses three software
selectable bandwidths for license-free operation in the 5.8 GHz ISM band.
The Orion2410i and Orion5810i RFUs are MDR2400 and MDR5800 RFUs
respectively, that have been repackaged into 1U units that should be used in indoor
unit applications only. Please refer to Appendix K for more detail.
For operation, the ISM bands are divided into upper and lower frequency sub-bands.
A ‘High Band’ RF Unit transmits in the higher frequency sub-band and receives in the
lower frequency sub-band, while a ‘Low Band’ RF Unit transmits in the lower sub-band
and receives in the higher sub-band. An MDR / Orion radio link will use a ‘Low Band’
RF Unit on one end of the link to communicate with a ‘High Band’ RF Unit on the other
end.
The RF Units use a Type-N RF output connector for connection to suitable 2.4GHz
and 5.8GHz antennas for applications where long range is required.

2.2.1
Frequency plans
The MDR5800, Orion5810i and the Orion 5850 RF Units operate in the 5.725 GHz to
5.850 GHz ISM frequency band with predefined frequency channel plans (termed A, B,
C and D). Channel plan D is user selectable / adjustable.
The MDR2400, Orion2410i and the Orion2450 RF Units operate in the 2.400 GHz to
2.4835 GHz ISM frequency band with predefined frequency channel plans (termed A,
B and D). Channel plan D is user selectable / adjustable.
2.2.1.1 MDR5800 and Orion5810i Frequency Channel Plan A, B and C
The channel spacing is based on the bandwidth occupied by the spread spectrum
signal (approximately 17 MHz) and is used to optimise link performance. In the case
of plan A, plan B and C, note that both RF Units of a link must be set up to the same
frequency channel plan (i.e. A, B or C).

2.2.1.6 Frequency Channel Plan D (FCC Compliant)
Frequency plan D allows independent control of transmit and receive frequencies.
This allows a flexible frequency plan and can be used to overcome interference in the
2.4GHz and 5.8 GHz ISM bands.
The frequencies that can be used in the lower or upper sub-bands can be selected in
1 MHz increments. Performance degradation can be expected when operating using
channel plan D mode with the chosen frequencies close to the sub-band edges i.e. a
choice of one of the high frequencies in the lower sub-band and one of the lower
frequencies in the upper sub-band.
The allocation of Channel plan D frequencies is shown in Table 4, Table 5 and Table
6.The Orion 24/5850 RF units have up to four different sets of minimum and maximum
frequencies, which are determined by the data rate setting of the RFU.
Only channel frequencies that are FCC compliant can be selected through the
configuration software. The channel frequency ranges are programmed into the radio
firmware and cannot be adjusted by the user.

NOTE 1: Changing the modulator type of an Orion 24/5850 RF Unit may take up to 30
seconds. During this period, the link will not be available. Changing the RFU
modulator type does not support Auto Recovery thus; the modulator type of the remote
station must be changed before the modulator type of the local station is changed.
2.2.2
RF Power Output Options
The RF Unit is designed for use in countries that have adopted FCC standards. It is
possible to adjust the output power on the RFU using the supplied NMS software or a
SNMP Management application. The FCC standards for the MDR2400 unit require a
limited output power as stated on page 2, U.S. only.
NOTE 1 The firmware on the Orion and MDR type RFUs will not accept power level
settings that fall outside the FCC compliant levels.
2.2.3
MDR24/5800, Orion24/5810i and Orion 24/5850 RF Units
The RF Units transmit and receive RF signals through a diplexer interfaced via an RF
cable to an external antenna. The unit has a type-N connector for connection to the
RF cable used between the RFU and the antenna.
The RF Unit houses the following main parts:
a. Transmit/Receive Modules
b. Baseband Modulator/Demodulator Circuitry
c. Microcontroller/Framing & Buffering Circuitry

3 Planning
This chapter is aimed at management and planning staff to enable them to assess the
requirements for installing an MDR / Orion digital radio link.
3.1
System Type Selection
The system uses an RF Unit with a type-N RF output for connection to a range of
antennas.
The MDR / Orion is aimed at FCC regulated markets.
Antenna polarization can used to co-locate multiple systems.
Antenna polarization can be used to overcome interference.
3.1.1
Antenna selection
The antenna type must be selected before the system is to be installed. The chosen
antenna must enable the system to operate with sufficient link fade margin without
excessive cost and allow the user’s ‘link availability requirements’ to be met.
The main consideration when selecting an antenna is antenna gain measured in dBi.
A path loss analysis is highly recommended to determine the antenna gain needed for
adequate fade margin. The table below shows antenna selection guidelines for some
configurations. The distances are calculated for a 20 dB link fade margin.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not
more than that required for successful communication.

3.2
Site Evaluation
When planning a site for a digital radio link, it is of the utmost importance that you take
the operational environment of the proposed site into account.
The combined effect of atmospheric environmental factors such as rain and lightning,
atmospheric attenuation, signal path obstruction, propagation fading, air temperature
gradients, ice build-up, wind and solar radiation can contribute towards reducing the
level of performance of the system. The 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands are not adversely
affected by rain, ice or snow. Severely cold and excessively warm climatic conditions
outside the scope of the operating temperature range can affect the function of the
system, especially the outdoor equipment (see Environmental Characteristics on page
52 of this manual).
Also, if masts are not sufficiently rigid, very strong winds can affect the antenna beam
alignment and Outdoor equipment reliability due to wind force build-up and/or vibration
of the mast-mounted equipment.
3.3
Multipath Effects
The effects of multipath propagation can influence the radio. Understanding these
effects will help when installing a radio link and maximise the reliability of the link.
Multipath fading occurs when the receiving antenna receives not only the direct signal
from the transmitting antenna but also a signal from the transmitting antenna that has
reflected off the ground or nearby obstacles. The reflected signal takes a longer path to
reach the receiver and acts as interference since it is not in-phase with the direct path
signal. The amplitude of the interference can be almost equal to that of the direct path
signal, thus degrading the performance of the link.
Multipath propagation is dependent on transmit frequency and the specific geometry of
the link such as antenna heights, distance between the antennas and the local terrain.
To counteract multipath propagation, the installer can change the frequency at which
the link operates or adjust the height of one or both of the antennas.

3.4
Interference Considerations
The ISM frequency bands are used by other devices that can cause interference to the
MDR / Orion radio systems. Interference can be avoided by careful planning of the
system installation. The available methods for providing isolation from interfering
radiators are the following:
•
Frequency diversity
•
Antenna polarization
It is recommended to scan the proposed installation areas with a spectrum analyzer
prior to installation to establish the presence of interference. The spectrum analyzer
feature available on the NMS / GUI may also be used. If interference is detected on
the path, the GUI, via laptop connection, can be used to select a new channel plan (A,
B, or C) to “steer around the interferer, or to create a new custom channel plan (Plan
D) to avoid the interference. SNMP network architecture, if employed, may also be
used to make the frequency plan changes. The frequency spectrum should be
scanned over a sufficient time period to ensure that periodic transmissions are
recorded.
Interferers will cause problems if their amplitudes are not more than 20 dB below the
intended receive power level. A link path loss calculation should be performed to
determine the expected receive power level.
The procedure for selecting the optimum antenna polarization and system frequency
plan is the following:
•
Perform a spectral analysis at each site in the link direction using a high gain
antenna.
•
Repeat the spectral analysis for vertical and horizontal polarization.
•
Select the polarization with the lowest interfering levels as the system antenna
polarization.
•
Consult the MDR / Orion frequency channel plans as shown in section 2.2.1 and
select the frequency plan that would operate in an interference-free band.
•
Install the ‘High Band’ and ‘Low Band’ RF Units at the sites where they would
experience the lowest interference in their respective receive bands.

Microcell Backhaul Applications of MDR / Orion Digital Radios
In applications where more than one independent and separate links, need to radiate
from a central site, a number of parameters can be taken advantage of, to provide
isolation and minimise interference between these links:
•
Frequency multiplexing
•
Antenna polarization
•
Choice of High Antenna Gain
It is important to note that these methods only provide isolation between two radio
Systems, and that power levels in the separate systems should be balanced to ensure
correct operation.
3.5.1
Setting the Transmitted Power Levels
To minimise interference, received power levels should be balanced between separate
radio links. This means that transmit power levels should be set to provide similar
levels of received power, as indicated by the RSSI values of the adjacent receivers at
the central site. Power levels are easily adjusted via point and click selection utilizing
the provided NMS / GUI, installed on your laptop or via SNMP network architecture.
3.5.2
Frequency Multiplexing
The MDR2400, Orion2410i and Orion2450 offers three frequency channel plans, the
MDR5800, Orion5810i and the Orion 5850 offers four frequency channel plans. Refer
to paragraph 2.2.1 for more detail on the frequency channel plans. A radio link
requires two channels (one for transmit and one to receive) to provide full duplex
operation. Each radio has a high and a low sub-band, one that it uses for
transmission and another for reception. Terminology definition: the ‘High-band RF
Unit’ of a system transmits on the higher of the two sub-bands. The ‘Low-band RF
Unit’ of a system transmits on the lower of the two sub-bands. A system (link) always
has one High Band and one Low Band RF Unit. It is important to note that unwanted
transmitted signals in adjacent frequency bands can affect other receivers operating in
an adjacent band if insufficient antenna isolation is provided. A solution is to group
high-band or low-band RF Units at the central site, rather than group high and lowband RF Units together.
3.5.3
Antenna Isolation
Separate links at a central site will have sufficient isolation when radio systems
operate outside the radiation beamwidth or side lobes of the system antenna. The
achievable isolation can be established by examining the measured radiation patterns
of the system antennas. Directional isolation can be used if the antenna radiation is
15 dB or lower relative to the adjacent main beam. Antennas with high directionality
will allow reduced angular separation of adjacent systems. Antenna cross-polarization
isolation can be used for adjacent radio links, radiating in the same direction. Typical
isolation of 30 dB can be achieved using high quality antennas.

4 Installation
This chapter describes a recommended installation procedure for the MDR24/5800,
Orion24/5810i and the Orion24/5850.
Before installation / departure to site
1. Carefully open all shipping boxes and look for any obvious damage that might
have resulted during shipment.
2. Do an operational bench test to verify the functionality of the system.
3. Confirm that both radios have the correct IP configuration (refer to page 125,
paragraph C.2) for "local" and "remote" sites. Use the provided NMS / GUI
installed on a laptop / PC to configure / analyze the radio via a serial / ethernet
connection to the DIU element manager port. Local and remote IP addresses
labels may be fitted to the DIU’s and can be verified with those listed in the GUI.
4. Both radios should be on the same channel plan (paragraph 2.2.1) and power
should be set to an appropriate test level (not muted).
5.
NOTE Use at least 60dB attenuation when directly connecting two RFU RF ports.
6. After initial power up and a minute or so of “settle time”, clear any flashing LEDs
via the front panel reset button (paragraph 2.3.4) or the GUI. The DIU status
LEDs should be green with no errors indicated and remain green for an
appropriate time span (at least 1-2 minutes).
7. After satisfactory results, disconnect the units and transfer to the installation site
for permanent installation.
NOTE It is recommended that the installer have previous experience in installing radio
communication equipment or has attended a training course from the supplier for the
purpose of understanding how to set-up and configure an MDR / Orion radio.

NOTE The Ethernet port can also be used to control the DIU via the GUI / SNMP
software.
4.3
RF Unit
The MDR2400 and MDR5800 outdoor RF Units are also available as 1U indoor RF
Units, Orion2410i and Orion5810i, that can be rackmounted in a 1U rack.
Before installing the Orion or MDR RF Unit, ensure that a suitable mast is used for the
antenna and that the RF Unit installation is firmly in position. The pole diameter must
be between 50 and 102 mm or between 2" and 4½".
The outdoor unit type RF Unit may also be mounted indoors, utilizing an optional rack
mount adapter (not included as a standard item) at the base of a tower for convenient
access. However, this as not recommended as a long and expensive RF cable would
then be required, compromising system sensitivity and increasing link costs.
CAUTION – ENSURE THAT THE POLE IS EARTHED FOR
LIGHTNING PROTECTION.
Follow these steps to install the RF Unit:
1. Install the system antenna.
2. Adjust the mounting bracket to be slightly bigger than the pole diameter.
3. Secure the mounting bracket to the pole.
4. Secure the RF Unit to the bracket using the screws on each bracket.
5. Connect the RF Unit to the pole electrically by connecting the earth cable or strap
between the pole earth and the RF Unit earth point.
6. Connect the type-N RF output connector to the system antenna through an in-line
lightning protection unit in areas with lightning activity.
7. Cover the connectors using an ultra violet protective, self-vulcanising tape.
4.3.1
RF Connection
1. The RF port is an N-type female connector.
2. The N-Type connector is used to connect to the antenna, typically using coaxial
transmission line.
3. 1/2" or 5/8” coaxial cables are recommended. Coaxial cable that is 7/8” or larger
can exhibit moding at 5.8 GHz and is not recommended for 5.8 GHz radios.
862-01881 Issue 13
Page 38
Orion and MDR Digital Radios
4. Do not use right angle N-type connectors with the radios: they may present high
loss.
5. Do not use low quality cables. Some cable types, such as RG-8, may have too
high a loss at 5.8 GHz.
4.4
Interconnection Cable Installation
Follow these steps to install the Digital Indoor Unit to RF Unit interconnection cables.

5 Antenna Alignment and Software Setup
This chapter describes the procedure for software setup and antenna alignment. The
setup is done with a laptop / PC running the supplied NMS Graphical User Interface
(GUI) software. See chapter 6 for details on using the NMS / GUI.
5.1
Installation Equipment Required
The following tools and instruments are required for software setup and aligning the
antenna:
5.2
•
RSSI test cable
•
Voltmeter
•
Wrench / spanner (see appropriate details in installation chapter depending on the
antenna being used)
•
PC with NMS software and supplied serial data cable.

-30 dBm Average 1.333 ± 0.047 V : MIB RSSI 54 ± 2 dBm (see comment below)
The front panel RF Link LED, the Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSI : on
NMS, via SNMP or as an Electrical signal on the RF Unit), Carrier-detect (NMS,
SNMP) and Frame Lock (NMS, SNMP) indicators are available to assist with link
installation and alignment.
NOTE 1 The MIB lists a value representative of the received signal level in [-dBm].
This value corresponds to the signal power measured in a 200 kHz BW centred at the
receive frequency of the radio.
When not in spectrum analyser mode, the Orion RFU translates the measured signal
power to a value corresponding to the wanted signal power in the receiver bandwidth.
NOTE 2 For the MDR and Orion10i RFUs, the RSSI values displayed in the MIB are
representative of the signal level measured over a 200kHz BW. Add ~20dB to the MIB
value for a wanted spread spectrum signal. The NMS / GUI will do this adjustment
automatically and will therefore always display the correct RSSI value.
NOTE 3 Due to the technique used to calculate the RSSI level of a wanted signal, the
measured RSSI level can differ from the actual value with up to ±3 dB.

5.2.3
Set Transmitted Power Level
It is good practice to match received power levels by adjusting transmitted powers if
co-located systems are being installed. This is important to avoid interference
between co-located systems. An attenuator can be fitted between the RF Unit and the
antenna if the power level cannot be sufficiently reduced. The dBm output at the RFU
N-type connector (socket) levels are set via the NMS or using a SNMP Management
application.

To start : when the link is setup correctly, the RF Link LEDs on both DIUs on both
sides of the RF link should be GREEN.
When the link has been setup and is running error-free:
1. Clear the Digital Indoor Unit Log using Reset Button Position ‘2’
2. Clear the Digital Indoor Unit Errors using Reset Button Position ‘1’
Perform a link bit error rate performance test as follows:
•
Connect a bit error rate tester to the payload interface of the link.
•
Run data over the link for a period of 24 hours.
•
Record the BER.
•
Record the LED statuses.
Check the Digital Indoor Unit Packet Error Results via the NMS or via SNMP access to
the Digital Indoor Unit MIB – for the NMS, right-click on the antennas in the NMS for
either side of the link and select the “Diagnostic/Error Monitor” option. Record the
results by saving the data to a file. For SNMP access, use a MIB Browser and check
the mdrmteRFLinkPerf and mdrmteG826 Performance groups.
Record all results on a test record. See MDR / Orion Test Record, section 5.6 for an
example.

6 NMS Software
6.1
Scope
This section provides minimal information required to install the Orion NMS. A detailed
HTML-based help document can be found on the NMS installation CD supplied with
new radios.
6.2
Introduction
The purpose of the Network Management System, hereafter called the NMS, is to
allow you to configure, manage or interrogate the following primary functional
elements of a Digital Radio Link:
•
Digital Indoor Unit
•
RF Unit
A Digital Radio Link consists of two Indoor-RF Unit stations connected through a radio
link.
The Orion NMS is designed to auto-detect the radio type it is connected to and can
support the following radio types:
•
Orion XX
•
MDR XXXX
Since the firmware and software for the MDR XXXX and the Orion XX10i RFUs are
exactly the same, the NMS has no means to detect the difference between these
units. The NMS will therefore always display the radio type as MDR XXXX.
The NMS is a PC-based software package that provides you with a graphical interface
that is used to perform on-site element management of a digital radio system. It
allows you to configure, manage and interrogate the system by selecting various
menus and options.
The hardware as well as the software constituting the NMS is collectively called the
NMS Terminal.
The NMS Terminal is the principal system support equipment associated with the radio
for system installation and commissioning.
The NMS connects to a designated NMS Terminal port (labelled Element Manager) on
the front panel of the Digital Indoor Unit, by means of a serial data interface (this cable
is supplied in the DIU box). It can also connect to any number of Digital Indoor Units
interconnected through an IP network.
The NMS communicates with SNMP agent software that is contained in each Digital
Indoor Unit. The NMS communicates with the agent’s software: the software enables
a unit to interpret MIB (Management Information Base) commands via SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol).

NOTE The NMS application supplied with older MDR radios have been replaced with
the Java-based Orion NMS. The older NMS does not support the Orion series radios
and it is highly recommended to replace this NMS with the Orion NMS.
6.3
System requirements
The following PC system requirements apply for the Orion NMS:
6.4
•
P III 450 MHz or higher CPU
•
128 MB RAM
•
20 MB Free Hard disk space
•
CD-ROM Drive
•
Win 98, 2000, NT or XP Operating System (Linux optional)
Installing the NMS
The NMS have been developed on the Java platform from Sun Micro Systems. This
requires the installation of a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on the PC from where
the NMS will be used.
The installation files for the NMS and the JRE are provided on the installation CD that
is shipped with each radio.
The supplied installation files allows the NMS to be set up on any WIN32 system
(Windows 98, NT, 2000, XP). If required, a special installation can also be provided
which would allow the NMS to be installed on a system using a Linux operating
system.

B Appendix: MANAGEMENT OF THE MDR2400-SR MDR5800-SR
and the Orion 5825-sr
All management of the MDR and Orion products are implemented using SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol), an open standard. The products can be managed by:
1. Standard SNMP managers such as HP OpenView or SNMPc i.e. there is Open Network
Management compatibility.
2. For rapid product installation, the NMS GUI Application (hereafter referred to as the
NMS-GA) provides extensive management functions on site and, via the microwave
radio link, can be used to access the MDR / Orion station on the opposite side of the
link. The NMS-GA is a software application that runs on a PC workstation such as a
laptop or notebook computer that is connected to an MDR / Orion Digital Indoor Unit
serial port (DB9 DTE) or an Ethernet connection (10BaseT DTE), both accessed via the
DIU front-panel.
B.1
SNMP and the MDR / Orion
Use of SNMP within the product allows remote: configuration, monitoring of performance,
notification of alarms and firmware upgrades via an IP-network. Within an IP network
supporting routing of IP data, the radios can be supported from any remote location. The
product can be accessed via the Internet if the necessary gateways are provided. A
GSM/PCS modem dial-up capability provides another remote management option.
The Digital Indoor Units have built-in SNMP agents and an extensive MIB (Management
Information Base). The MDR /Orion product uses SNMP V1 (RFC1155, 1157). The user
has access to an Enterprise MIB (obtainable though customer services) and MIB II (RFC
1213).
Access to the MIB via the DIU SNMP agent is via Ethernet (10BaseT interface on the
product's front panel) or PPP (RFC 1661) via the product's serial channel Element Manager
port. The use of SNMP provides flexibility for operators with central equipment monitoring.
It provides management access to radio configuration (all data interfaces), interface status
and statistics, fault and maintenance information.
SNMP security (if enabled) is ensured by using a login and password to give the user
"administrator" or "standard user" rights. The "standard user rights" option limits the ability
to SET MIB variables.
NOTE Secure SNMP is not longer supported.
The product has threshold-based alarm generation (there is an extensive SNMP trap list
with a trap filter that is adjustable via SNMP). Network access (wired or wireless i.e.
GSM/PCS Modem) allows over-the-air remote firmware uploading (FTP) with a load
verification (and reversion) capability.
There are three principle requirements to use SNMP with the MDR / Orion Radio Stations.
862-01881 Issue 13
Page 104
Orion and MDR Digital Radios
1. A Management Station that runs a SNMP Management Software package that is
installed on a networked or stand-alone PC that can be connected to an Digital Indoor
Unit either using a serial connection or an Ethernet connection. From the Management
station, the agents within the Digital Indoor Units can be configured or polled for
information.
2. Agent: The agent accepts SNMP GET, SET or GET-NEXT commands from the
Management Application software and collects or adjusts information from the Digital
Indoor Unit's MIB.
3. Management Information Base (MIB): the MIB is a database that is accessed based on
the OID (object ID) the SNMP Manager has chosen. The Digital Indoor Unit uses an
Enterprise MIB and a standard MIB (MIB II) to store or allow access to information
relevant to the MDR / Orion link.

D Appendix: MDR5800 hardware VERSION 1, 2.x
DIFFERENCES, COMPATIBILITY SUMMARY
Version 1 hardware (Indoor and RF Units) is incompatible with Version 2.x hardware.
The Digital Indoor Unit /RF Unit Twisted Pair Data Interconnection for Version 2
hardware uses 2 twisted pair cables to convey payload and RF Unit control signals
whereas Version 1 hardware uses 4 twisted pair cables.
Notes :
Version 2.x firmware (can be uploaded into the Digital Indoor Unit using the NMS’s
Maintenance option) that can be used in Version 1.x hardware must be obtained from
the product manufacturer. The file is not the same file that is used with Version 2.x
hardware.
Updated RSSI and Power control functionality have been added to Version 2.x
hardware and firmware.
Version 2.x firmware has
1. FTP upload functionality (needs to be activated via the MIB)
2. IP Bridging functionality (half and full duplex – selectable via the MIB).
Appropriate DIU hardware must be used.
3. Band Plan C
4. Refer to the MIB section of this manual and look for the † symbol to see what MIBrelated functionality is in place/activated/planned for Version 2.x + firmware.
5. Functional RF Loopback built-in test feature.
6. Ethernet packet error monitoring and buffer monitoring added to MIB
7. E1 CRC4 payload monitoring added to MIB (only applicable for a single tributary)
8. Digital Indoor Unit PCB hardware revision added to MIB
9. Periodic reporting of RF Link packet errors (adjustable in time, defaulted to 10
minutes) added to MIB.
Version 2.x NMS has
1. Ability to allow the user to connect to the Digital Indoor Unit using PPP (via a serial
cable interface to the DIU’s front panel Element Manager RS232 port) or via
Ethernet (via the front panel RJ45 connector: 10BaseT).
2. Graphical Spectrum Analyzer display
By default, firmware provided for the Digital Indoor Units does not provide a secure
login feature (thereby limiting a user’s ability to ‘set’ MIB variables). Suitably adapted
firmware versions (dependent on hardware version) need to be requested from the
product manufacturer to allow activation of this feature.

MDR / ORION DIGITAL INDOOR UNIT FIRMWARE
UPGRADE NOTICE
MDR Version 2 hardware Digital Indoor Units are identified as having 200+ serial
numbers, RF Units have 250+ serial numbers.
If upgrading Digital Indoor Units to use V2.02+ DIU firmware, upgrade the DIU
firmware on BOTH sides of the RF Link.
Note that firmware upgrades of Version 1 MDR Digital Indoor Unit hardware do not
require setting up of the PCB Issue in the MIB i.e. mdrmteIndoorUnitPCBrevision
element. Upgrade to DIU firmware Version 2+ of Version 1 hardware will NOT give
improved RSSI functionality. This is only achieved with Version 2 hardware or
modified version 1 hardware.
Full Duplex Ethernet Capability on MDR DIUs
As a standard setting for mdrmteIndoorUnitPCBrevision, use MIB selection Issue_2.
HOWEVER, if an appropriate Indoor PCB modification (made at the factory) has been
made to allow Full Duplex Ethernet operation, the Issue_2_Mod_A selection option in
the MIB MUST be used.
Per trib line code selectivity on MDR DIUs
MDR Digital Indoor Units that are modified to allow T1 line codes to be selected
uniquely on a per trib basis are identified by a hardware version number of 2.1AT.
These Digital Indoor Units must only be operated with firmware version 4.09 and
higher. The PCB revision of these units should also be set to 5.
Table 14 indicates the compatibility between different indoor and RF Unit types. The
DIU firmware types required to provide the compatibility between different hardware
types are listed in.

G Appendix: MDR / Orion SCALABLE 1-to-4/8 E/T1 / 10 BaseT Ethernet functionality
Depending on the radio model and RFU configuration, the MDR / Orion radio can
simultaneously support 1 to 8 E1 or T1 tributary channels, with the balance of the
available user BW made up by Ethernet packet data, up to a maximum aggregate
Ethernet throughput no greater than 9.5 Mbps (Combined up- and downstream
throughput). The unidirectional Ethernet throughput of the radios is limited to a
maximum of 8 Mbps, which decreases as more tributary channels are activated.

By Default for mdrmteFTPServerStatus : the Digital Indoor Unit FTP server is active
By Default for mdrmteFlashNewFirmware : the upgrade is immediate (it can also be
timed)
We recommend that the user ALWAYS verify that the new version has indeed been
uploaded and is being used by the DIU. In this case one checks the following
element:

This OID (object ID) is part of:
1.3.6.1.4.1.1316.1.1.1.2.4 mdrmteGeneral, part of the "mdrmteConfiguration" GROUP
When updating the Digital Indoor Unit firmware by means of FTP, please note that the
choice of IP address is very important. You must always choose the IP address of the
interface "closest" to you. In other words if you are using Ethernet to connect, then use
the IP address of the Ethernet Interface.
NOTE If you are updating the firmware on the remote unit, use the IP address of the
"overhead" PPP link - NOT the Ethernet interface of the remote unit. For example use
192.168.4.3 when uploading to the far side and using the bridging configuration. If by
mistake you use the wrong address, you will create a "half-established" FTP session,
and NO FURTHER SESSIONS will be permitted until the session times out after some
minutes.

If all is well, then:
BER Tester should run with no errors
All 3 Front Panel LEDs should be green.
(The RF Link LED may flash orange without the need to worry.)
If you have not connected a BER Tester, then the Payload LED will be Red,
indicating LOS i.e. no payload signal.
NOTE Make sure to deactivate all unused tribs to ensure that the Payload LED stays
GREEN for the tribs used. That is: if only two tribs are used, but all four are active, a
RED Payload LED will be indicated as the two unused tribs have LOS. Deactivating
the two unused tribs through the NMS / GUI, will result in the Payload LED only
indicating information for two active tribs – i.e. are there a valid signals on the two
tribs, regardless of the two other, unused tribs.

J APPENDIX: 1+1 PROTECTION SYSTEM OPERATION
J.1
J.1.1
Introduction
System Description
When a single radio link is used to convey user data, any number of unexpected
events may cause the link to fail resulting in user data being lost. This would require
immediate corrective actions from the network operator responsible for maintaining the
radio link. Since such a failure may occur at any time and possibly at a remote
location, corrective actions may be very costly, both in terms of downtime and human
resources. Common reasons for radio links to fail are:
•
Signal fading on the radio link
•
The presence of strong in-band interference
•
Equipment failure
One possible solution to this problem is to install a second redundant radio link that
can automatically take over the function of the primary radio link. This not only
reduces the downtime of the link, but also provides the network operator with the
opportunity to repair the faulty link at a convenient time.
This document describes the one-plus-one redundancy system that can be used with
the radio products of Plessey BBW. Radio systems that are currently supported by the
system are:
•
MDR2400-SR
•
MDR5800-SR
•
Orion 2410-SRi
•
Orion 5810-SRi
•
Orion 5825-SR
The remainder of this document is aimed at giving a detailed technical description of
the redundancy system and the installation thereof.
J.2
J.2.1
Technical Description
System Overview
The functionality required to establish a protected radio link is already built into the
MDR- and Orion-type Software Radios. This implies that the user can set up a
protected radio link by interconnecting the equipment for two parallel radio links
through a 1U protection panel and a dedicated communications cable.
Each Digital Indoor Unit in a protected radio system continuously monitors the status
of the radio link it uses, as well as the radio link provided through the redundant
system running in parallel. Digital Indoor Units forming part of a redundant link at each
end of the radio link share status information through a cable connecting the two
Auxiliary ports of the Digital Indoor Units.
862-01881 Issue 13
Page 138
Orion and MDR Digital Radios
Only the tributary payload data channels are protected by the redundant link i.e. there
is no protection for Ethernet data. Tributary payload data is split and combined
between links through a 1U protection panel that connects to the user network
equipment as well as the two Digital Indoor Units used at each end of the redundant
link. Although both radio links are functioning continuously, only one of the Digital
Indoor Units is actively driving the tributary channels of the user network at any given
time.
Each Digital Indoor Unit continuously monitors the level of the Packet Error Ratio
(PER) for the radio link on which it is receiving user data. When the PER exceeds a
predefined ratio of 10 consecutive seconds, the Digital Indoor Unit driving the tributary
channels of the user network will signal the redundant Digital Indoor Unit to take over
processing the data it receives over the radio link.
The value of the PER threshold is configurable and can be changed through the Orion
NMS if required. The default value is set at 30%.
There is no notion of a primary and secondary link in this redundancy system. The
first link to be configured successfully will start driving the tributary payload channels.
Switch over will only take place when the aforementioned condition occurs. In the
event where the link to which the data was switched over fails at a later stage, the
system will attempt to switch the data back to the original link.
NOTE 1 A situation can arise where the up- and downstream user tributary data is
carried by separate radio links, i.e. link A carries the upstream data, and link B carries
the downstream data.
NOTE 2 Due to the architecture of the redundancy system, the process of switching
over from one link to another is not hitless and user tributary data will be lost for a few
seconds (< 10)
J.2.2
System Configuration
The block diagram in Figure 15 illustrates a typical redundancy system configuration.
Note that this system is managed over an Ethernet LAN, where the two local Digital
Indoor Units are connected to the LAN using a hub. It is important to note that the IP
addresses for each Digital Indoor Unit should be unique. It is however possible to
configure each link in the redundant system separately through the Element-Manager
port of each local Digital Indoor Unit, in which case it is not necessary to assign unique
IP addresses to the Digital Indoor Units.
The block diagram in Figure 15 also clearly illustrates the following important
interfaces:
•
DIU A to DIU B connection through the respective Auxiliary ports of the four
Digital Indoor Units
•
The Protection Panel interfaces on each side of the link that combines and splits
the tributary payload channels between the two radio links
•
The single user network interfaces provided by the Protection Panel
•
The two radio links that provide the redundancy required for user data
protection

System functional description
Each Digital Indoor Unit taking part in a protected radio link continuously monitors the
PER of the radio link it is receiving tributary data over. If the PER for the link increases
above the Sever Error Margin for more than 10 consecutive seconds, the Digital
Indoor Unit will request the second Digital Indoor Unit to take over the driving of the
tributary channels if the second Digital Indoor Unit sees a frame lock.
Once the second Digital Indoor Unit has started driving the tributary channels, the first
Digital Indoor Unit becomes the redundant link.

The MIB element controlling the switch-over threshold, mdrmteSevereErrorMargin
(OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1316.1.1.1.2.2.18, Parent: mdrmteRFLinkConf), is set to 30% by
default. This value is a percentage and represents the switch-over threshold for the
Packet Error Ratio (PER). When the PER exceeds 30%, the switch-over will occur.
The value of this MIB element can be adjusted to meet the exact user requirements. It
is advisable to set the switch-over threshold on all Digital Indoor Units to the same
value.

System Verification
Since most of the functionality of the protected system is hidden from the user, it may
be difficult to monitor the status at times. It can however be determined by monitoring
the MIB elements listed below.
