Doc. No. Rev. Date DRAFT 1.01 2012-01-27 Damm Cellular Systems A/S, Denmark TetraFlex® 7.5 Manual - IP Backbone network layout and configuration TetraFlex® 7.5 Manual 2-162 All interfaces in the router network that must be able to join in a multicast group must have IGMP and PIM-SM enabled. 2.16.10.2.2.1 Multicast and VPN As such – VPN/IPSec does not support the transport of multicast packets. GRE tunneling does support multicast routing – but is not encrypted. Therefore the configuration shown at end of this document – the recommended configuration – uses IPSec encrypted GRE tunnels. Combining the IPSec and GRE will ensure the routing of both unicast and multicast – and still maintaining integrity and intrusion security of the network. 2.16.10.2.2.2 GRE tunneling Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol designed to encapsulate a wide variety of network layer packets inside IP tunneling packets. The original packet is the payload for the final packet. GRE was developed by Cisco and was designed to be stateless; the tunnel end-points do not monitor the state or availability of other tunnel end-points. GRE creates a virtual point-to-point link with routers at remote points on an IP internetwork. 2.16.11 Applicable tools for router programming The Cisco offers a CLI – Command Line Interface. This is accessible through the console port of the router. Use the blue cable delivered with the router. In this case use the serial port of your PC. You can use any of a variety of terminal emulation programs. If you know the IP address of one of the Ethernet ports on the router – you can also telnet into the router and use the same CLI. The configuration of any Cisco router – can be exported from the router and onto a so called TFTP server. The router configuration file is then an ASCII formatted text string. This can be opened – edited and saved by the use of any of a variety of text editor programs. After editing – the file can be re-imported to the Cisco router. After a reload of the router – it will reflect the newly introduced configuration changes that you made offline. 2.16.11.1 Ultraedit: o A text editor program for offline editing of configuration files. 2.16.11.2 WordPad: o A text editor program for offline editing of configuration files. Available typically in Windows. 2.16.11.3 HyperTerminal: o A Windows standard program that can do both serial communication and also use TCP/IP to connect to router via Ethernet. 2.16.11.4 Putty: o A very versatile program that does serial and IP connections.

There was coherency between number of “Sites” and number of “Radio sites”. The DAMM TetraFlex® concept opens for “Sites” meaning the actual geographical position of the equipment and a NODE meaning any unit running a BSC.exe application (except for the redundant BSC). A node could be a radio node, GW node or a combination of these. 3.1.3 Software packages: All DAMM TetraFlex® system software packages with all Functions and Applications are available on http://www.damm.dk/ restricted area in encrypted form for a period of minimum 18 months after Release Date o All Software Releases consist of: o Software package with Software Release number. o Release Note. o Commercial Note. o A software package can be de-encrypted by means of any valid DAMM dongle. o If a new Software Release contains bug fixes, which have a serious effect on the operation of a system, the Application Date can be set to an earlier date, and thereby allow execution on systems, where the dongle Application Date Limit has expired. DAMM Support Department is responsible for keeping the www.damm.dk restricted area updated o Software packages with a Release Date older than 18 months shall be removed from www.damm.dk 3.1.3.1 Software packages execution or update: The dongle controls which software release and which part of the release that can be executed on the BSC4XX or PC in which the dongle is inserted. The customer may decide to execute the total package or only some of the files in the package.

It can run on both the BSC421 and BSC412 Base Station Controllers (and on an ordinary PC or Server as well), and adapts automatically to the detected hardware platform. The BSC.exe service contains all the functions needed to run a complete Tetra system, including Subscriber Register with Security Key Register, Radio Cell, Voice Gateway, Packet Data Gateway (extern connection) / Server (Tetra-Tetra connection) and Application gateway. The software supports the use of Redundant Base Station Controllers, as one BSC will be active and the other BSC standby. Communication and supervisory between the two BSC’s will ensure, that the standby BSC automatically takes over, if the active BSC fails. 3.2.2 BSC-GUI The user interface for the BSC.exe from version 7.5: Figure 3-1: BSC-GUI

The GUI can only operate on the BSC.exe that is running on the same node. The GUI has 7 tabs (8 for the BS41x version): Status: (se figure 3-1) gives an overview of the status of the BSC, TR (Transceivers) and PS (Power Supply’s). It is possible to clear alarm, access the OM command system, Activate BSC and BS (Only BS41x), Restart and Stop the BSC, and Update of software and Restore and Backup of software and settings. These are functions also available in Network Management. Console: The Console window is updated at each BSC start-up, and shows the start-up status of the system. The window is dynamic and will be updated when the status of the BSC changes e.g. from active to inactive The Clear Button deletes the actual content of the console window.

If set to Yes (and Depending on the MS programming) this can be used for the MS to decide to change to a different node that has full service available even if the RSSI level is lower. o TX PWR - Maximum Mobile Station TX power allowed (not TR output power!) o RX Lev - Minimum Mobile Station RX access level before leaving a node. During initial scanning, the MS scans for downlink signals and takes this value from the broadcast. Then it checks if the received downlink signal is above this value before it registers to the node. If during the operation the received downlink signal drops

Doc. No. Rev. Date 1.00 2011-12-08 Damm Cellular Systems A/S, Denmark TETRAFLEX® V7.5 MANUAL - Network Management TetraFlex® 7.5 Manual 3-25 below this level, it leaves the node again without any deregister signaling, and it goes into scanning and checks for a node with better signal. o Access - Radio access parameter -53dBm to -23dBm. This, to reduce the MS output power depending on how close it is to the radio node. The ETSI defines it like this: P = MIN ( MS_TXPWR_MAX_CELL, ACCESS_PARAMETER - RSSI ) o This means that a) the MS never chooses an output power above MS_TXPWR_MAX and b) the output power depends on the downlink signal strength RSSI in combination with ACCESS_PARAMETER. The idea is simple: If the MS is close to the BS, it can reduce its output power. ACCESS_PARAMETER defines how much it can reduce it. Example: MS_TX PWR = 30dBm, ACCESS = -30dBm MS is far away from the radio cell, RSSI=-105dBm. P=MIN(30dBm, -30Bm-(-105dBm) = MIN(30dBm, 75dBm) = 30dBm MS transmits full power. MS is very close to BS, RSSI=-55dBm. P=MIN(30dBm, -30Bm-(-55dBm) = MIN(30dBm, 25dBm) = 25dBm MS transmits with reduced power. The value of -53dBm maximizes the effect of power reduction: P=MIN(30dBm, -53Bm-(-55dBm) = MIN(30dBm, 2dBm) = 2dBm MS transmits with very reduced power. The value of -23dBm minimizes the effect of power reduction: P=MIN(30dBm, -23Bm-(-55dBm) = MIN(30dBm, 32dBm) = 30dBm No power reduction yet. o RDT - Radio Downlink Timeout: This it is a measurement of the downlink quality. The higher the RDT value is, the longer the MS stays on a channel with bad quality. Factory setting middle value (1152TS). o SRT - Slow Reselect Threshold above fast (Factory setting 10dB) o FRT - Fast Reselect Threshold (Factory setting 12dB) o SRH - Slow Reselect Hysteresis (Factory setting 10dB) o FRH - Fast Reselect Hysteresis (Factory setting 10dB) The parameters SRT,FRT,SRH and FRH are for network planning and are defining the behavior of MS cell reselection in a multi node system. The parameters are explained in details in the ETSI EN 300 392-2 is chapt. 18.3.4.4 ”Ranking of neighbour cells” And 18.3.4.5.x “Criteria used during cell reselection”: Unless there is trouble with MS cell reselection the factory settings should not be changed. o Sub. Class - Subscriber Class (Class 1-16 , default all class present).These parameters can be programmed in the MS to match the bit pattern of a radio cell to obtain a preferred radio cell to connect to.

Only the method is described, for further information regarding the Subscriber Register, BSC, distribution of subscriber data etc. please consult the relevant manual sections. 3.4.2 Definitions K The key value file generated by the terminal programmer. File is in plain text and contains key value associated to TEI Dongle Key The secret key programmed in the Node Dongle. The Dongle Key is enabling the key register in the subscriber register K1 The Security Keys derived from the K file and placed in the key register Security set The distributed key sets. Should be updated at regular intervals 3.4.3 Description The key file produced by the terminal programmer (K) is read in to the system and is encrypted using the Dongle Key and placed in a key register (K1). This key register is now “protected” by the dongle key. This means that if the key register is moved to another node, the Dongle key must be moved as well. The content of the key register (K1), decrypted with the dongle Key, and the TEI or SIM reference value is used to produce a security set (Derived keys) which is placed in the Master Subscriber Register and distributed to the Subscriber Register on the other nodes as SSI + Security Set. After this the TEI / SIM reference is essentially no longer used. When updating the Security Set, the K1 key and the SSI is used to generate a new distributed Security Set.

Backup should always consist of at least:  Master Subscriber Register  Key Register 3.4.5 Restore If the node containing the Master Subscriber register is isolated or removed, the system will continue to work as usual except that new terminals cannot be added to the Subscriber register. When using encryption/Authentication it is recommended to wait adding subscribers until the node containing the Master Subscriber Register is available again. Alternatively it is possible to assign another node as Master Subscriber register and add the subscribers to this register. After adding subscribers, the Key File (K) is read into the Subscriber Register as described previously. This will create a new Key Register on this node containing the K1 values for the new terminals. The disadvantage of this is that when the Security Sets must be updated, both nodes must be updated, so this method is NOT recommended In case the node containing the Master Subscriber Register is totally lost or an exchange or change of node for some other reason is preferred, then all Key Files (K) can be read in

Doc. No. Rev. Date 1.00 2011-12-08 Damm Cellular Systems A/S, Denmark TETRAFLEX® V7.5 MANUAL - Dispatcher TetraFlex® 7.5 Manual 3-57 3.5 DISPATCHER 3.5.1 General Description The Core of the Dispatcher is the TetraFlexApi.dll. It contains all the core elements to be able to connect an Application to the TetraFlex® system. As standard, the TetraFlexApi.dll is delivered with a GUI (Graphical User Interface). This provides the complete Dispatcher Application. The TetraFlexApi.dll contains a fully documented API (Application Programming Interface) TetraFlexApi.h file which allows the DAMM supplied GUI to be replaced with other GUI applications provided from third party vendors. Thereby applications with other features and in other languages are very easily implemented without any need to touch the core interface to the system. The TetraFlexApi.dll is delivered with a DAMM License Dongle to permit the use. DAMM dispatcher from V7.30 and ahead requires a dispatcher entry in the dongle to be able to start. Dispatcher from V7.40 and ahead requires a Microsoft .NET Framework and MS SQL Compact database to be installed. This is valid for the DAMM dispatcher only, not for any third party application. The TetraFlexApi.dll is intended to be used on a Windows XP or Windows 7 platforms. Any Node (Base Station, Gateway node etc.) of the TetraFlex® system can have an Application Gateway activated, and each gateway can handle several simultaneous application connections. The connection from the application to the system is done with standard IP protocols (TCP/UDP) to the external (WAN) side of the node, and the application can be located anywhere provided a standard IP connection to the node’s external WAN side is possible. The TetraFlexApi.dll configuration includes a list with one or several IP addresses of Application Gateways. The TetraFlexApi.dll will scan through the list and try to register with the first IP on the list, if found the scan is stopped, otherwise an attempt to register with the next IP entry in the list is made (like a mobile scanning through its frequency list). The registration occupies an SSI position. A PIN-code Authentication is added to prevent other applications to register with same SSI. This allows redundant gateway connections and allows the application to be moved to new locations without any reconfiguration. The TetraFlexApi.dll supports a.o. to display the DAMM Dispatcher Phonebook with all subscribers belonging to its own Home Organization and all Associated Organizations. The phone book is an extract from the TetraFlex® subscriber register which is automatically uploaded to the dispatcher using its own dedicated multicast address. This means that the home organization subscriber register can be maintained from the dispatcher provided access has been granted in the subscriber register. Dispatcher functions include Individual-, Group- and Broadcast calls, monitoring of all active calls including individual simplex and duplex calls, sending and receiving SDS, adding DGNA groups, performing discreet and ambience listening etc. Additional features are planned to be added in coming releases. For further information regarding future features, see the Feature

When the TetraFlex® system software is updated with new features on the Application Gateway, the TetraFlexApi.dll will also be updated and shall be installed at the GUI applications. The TetraFlexApi.dll will be fully backward compatible, which means that older GUI applications can use a newer version of TetraFlexApi.dll. 3.5.2 TetraFlex® Dispatcher Functionality The Dispatcher application is developed to run on a Windows XP or Win7 platform. To launch the Dispatcher application the following things are required:  IP connectivity to an Application GW on the IP backbone network.  Hardware dongle with API client and DAMM dispatcher enabled.  A valid Dispatcher SSI and user number defined in the subscriber register  A valid PIN code (optional) defined in the subscriber register  Organization 0 (Zero) defined in the subscriber register, also if this is organization is not in use Furthermore the dispatcher requires that Microsoft .NET framework and Microsoft SQL Compact to be installed on the Dispatcher PC When the Dispatcher application is launched the main window appears Figure 3-33: Dispatcher Main window$
