Tsunami GX800 Wireless Radio System
The Tsunami GX800 product has an extremely small foot print and comes in a split-mount
design, which includes a Compact Indoor Unit (IDU) and an Outdoor Unit (ODU).
Indoor Unit (IDU)
The Indoor Unit (IDU) act as a Data Multiplexer and at the same time as the Digital Modem
(DSP) of the whole system. The core feature of the IDU is the DSP module, which generates a
signal for the intermediate frequency output to the Outdoor Unit (ODU) and processes
intermediate frequency input from the ODU.
Proxim's GX800 IDU is shown below.
The IDU consists of the following components:

Outdoor Unit (ODU)
An ODU performs the up-conversion from Intermediate Frequency (IF) of IDU (350MHz) to the
desired transmission band, and vice versa; performs the down-conversion from received
frequency band to IF frequency (140MHz) for the receiving part of the IDU. Power is supplied to
the ODU through the IF cable (used for IDU – ODU connection). The software access to ODU, its
management and configuration is possible only from the IDU. ODU management is integrated
directly in the command set of the IDU and it is an integral part of the IDU software. For an easy
primary set-up of the optimal received signal level, the ODU is fitted with the BNC connector,
where the measured DC voltage [mV] is directly proportional to the level of Received Signal
Strength (RSSI).
Proxim's GX800 ODU is shown below.

Remote Mount: Depending on the frequency, a
provision to connect the ODU to the antenna through
Waveguide or Coaxial N-Type SMA Connector.
Buckle for Direct Mount Buckle to secure the ODU onto the antenna interface in
the direct mount.
Due to the tuning limitations of hardware filters within an ODU, different ODU pairs will be
required within any particular frequency band. Given the large amount of spectrum within most
frequency bands, it is required to create smaller ranges as Sub-Bands. ODUs are tunable within
each of the sub-band. It is important to note that ODU pairs are made up with a Hi (High) unit and
a Lo (Low) unit. The Hi unit transmits on the higher channel and receives on the lower, while the
Lo unit transmits on the low channel and receives on the higher.
Accessories
For perfect installation, it is always recommended to use the following parts and accessories. You
can use any other accessories, not approved by the manufacturer or distributor, at your own risk.
Power Supply
The recommended power supply is 120W, regulated switching PS-230/48, power supply with
-48VDC and 2.5A output. From one switching power supply PS-230/48, it is recommended to
power only one side of the GX800 link, that means 1Power Supply x IDU + 1Power Supply x
ODU. When you connect other devices, it may cause power supply overload to the entire GX800
link.
IF Cable
To connect an IDU and an ODU, we recommend you to use low-loss 50 Ohm coaxial cable
designed for outdoor installation. For a distance greater than 50 meters, it is recommended to
ground the cable every 50 meters.
IF Cabling between ODU and IDU must be terminated with N-Male coaxial connections at each
end. Proxim provides 25, 50, 100foot lengths. Custom cables can be made but should be tested
for shorts and overall performance prior to installation.
Surge Protectors
Whenever the coaxial cable enters the building, always install a RF Surge Protector, which
greatly eliminates the risk of high power surge damage.
It is important that the surge protection device permit supply voltage to the ODU. This type of
Tsunami™ GX800 Installation and Management Guide 8
device is known as DC-Passing. It is also important that the IF frequencies of 140MHz and
350MHz be supported by the device. Proxim offers a suitable model in the price list.
Grounding Kit
To ensure good lightning protection for the radio units, install grounding kits on every 50m cable
(each 50 m for long cables) at the building entrance.
We recommend to ground the IDU to the rack cabinet and the ODU to the place, where these
units are mounted such as mast mount, pole and so on. Make special effort to ensure the ground
provides low resistance and avoid ground loops or differentials. Always obey local, state,
provincial regulations with the power and grounding of such systems.
Antennas
A variety of different antennas are available from different manufacturers and in different sizes.
Antennas can be used for horizontal and vertical polarization, the right-sided and left-sided
assembly as well. A list of qualified antennas can be found in the GX800 ordering guide. If
installing into an existing system with a non-direct mount, compatible antenna waveguide
transitions are available. Check with Proxim or your distributor to accommodate this.
Furthermore, regulatory bodies such as ETSI and FCC have strict performance requirements
which must be met by both the antenna vendor and the installer. Always make sure that the
selected antenna meets the regulatory requirements of the locale of installation.
HSI Modules
The IDU comes with a standard 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 interface along with a
10/100 Fast Ethernet RJ45 interface for management. For additional traffic interfaces, check with
Proxim for HSI modules. Proxim provides 2xE1/T1 or E3/DS3(G.703) HSI modules.
Dual IDU Mount Kit
The IDUs are designed for standard 19-inch cabinet mounting. Two IDUs can be mounted on a
single rack by using Dual IDU Mount kit.

Basic Configuration
For the initial configuration, use a Personal Computer (PC) with an Ethernet interface, and
current Web Browser (Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Chrome and so on). The operator should have
administrative rights on the PC, with the ability to change the adapters IP address and other
interface settings.
Follow the following steps to perform basic configuration of the device:
1. First set your computer's IP address to the range which corresponds to the default IDU
factory setup. Each IDU unit has the pre-set primary IP address 10.0.0.1 for A-side or
10.0.0.2 for B-side with the network mask 255.255.255.0. Therefore it is necessary to set
the IP address of your computer in the same range of 10.0.0.3 - 254, except for the
device IP address. Configure your computer's IP address (For example 10.0.0.3) and
subnet to 255.255.255.0.
2. The Login screen appears. Open a web browser and log on to the device by entering
http://10.0.0.1 for A-side and http://10.0.0.2 for B-Side in the address bar. The Login
screen appears.
3. In the Login Screen, enter the User Name and Password and then click Login. For user
Tsunami™ GX800 Installation and Management Guide 15

5. You are now prompted to Write and Reload the device. Click Write_and_Reload for the
IP change to take effect.
6. Log back into the device by using either the Primary or Secondary IP address.
7. Navigate to the Radio tab and perform the following:
Under ODU Configuration, verify if Tx and Rx center frequencies match your
license.
Under Modem Configuration, select the Modulation and Channel Bandwidth in
accordance with the link design and licensed operation.
If you are using Adaptive Modulation, check the Enable ACM box and
select the appropriate High, Mid, Low modulation settings.
Click Apply.
8. When you complete all the settings, click COMMIT on the upper right corner of the
Tsunami™ GX800 Installation and Management Guide 17

Figure 16: Radio Settings
screen. To logout, click LOGOUT and repeat the same steps on the remote side of the
link.
!! ATTENTION !! Do not forget to save the configured parameters by performing a
“COMMIT” operation.
Aligning the Antennas
Align the antenna (not supplied) only when both the terminals are operating in normal weather
conditions.
Antenna alignment can be done in both horizontal and vertical directions by using a DC
voltmeter. The higher the measured voltage is, the highest is the received signal level. The
voltage is measured directly on the output BNC connector on the ODU (RSSI - Received Signal
Strength Indication). It is recommended to use an appropriate BNC adapter for your DVM.
Given below is the typical Receive Signal Level Voltage for licensed bands.
Antenna alignment should be done only during favorable weather conditions. During adverse
weather conditions such as rain, fog, snow and smog, antenna alignment should not be done as
Tsunami™ GX800 Installation and Management Guide 18
Figure 18: RSL Vbnc Curve
Figure 17: RSSI Connector
the value of the measured signal varies significantly, and so the measurement risks becomes
inaccurate.
!! ATTENTION !! When aligning the antennas watch out for the possibility of "false"
alignment on the side lobes of remote antenna. It is important to identify main lobe
antenna, by rotating the antenna to have the maximum RSL voltage. The value of RSL
should always correspond to expected calculated value of input signal strength.
The Basic Link Function Test - Verification
Before connecting to the user's ports, it is good to quickly perform a basic test that verifies proper
GX800 link installation and its error-free condition.
Obtaining the Basic Link Information
To obtain basic link information, navigate to General menu and Status sub-menu in the
Graphical User Interface (GUI) and evaluate the following parameters:
Key Parameters Description
TX Power Data should have a value corresponding to the assignment
(Telecommunication Authority)
RX Level Data should be in the range -35 to -50 dBm and should correspond
to the expected level resulted from calculation tolerance + / - 3dBm).
Approximately the same value (+ / - 3dBm) should be measured on
the opposite side too.
Mean Square
Error (MSE)
Data should be in the range -40 (better) to -32(worse) dB (the lower
the better)
The Mean Square Error (MSE) refers to the average of the square
difference between the actual received symbols and the idealized
points. The closer the points are in the state diagram - the better.
Modem sync The synchronization status of the modem part should be set to OK.
MSE threshold for each modulation is as follows:
128QAM : - 26 dB
64QAM : - 23 dB
32QAM : - 20 dB
16QAM : - 17 dB
QPSK : - 10.5 dB
The same evaluation needs to be done on the other side of the link.
!! Note !! As final adjustment of the GX800 link parameters is not yet done (especially IP
address), you may find the icon of the opposite terminal not yet glowing green.
If the measured values do not match the above said values, it is necessary to perform a detailed
check of the link adjustment.
Tsunami™ GX800 Installation and Management Guide 19
Five Minute Link Quality Measurement (Optional)
The next step is a five minute BER measurement test of the link. Note that to perform this test,
data interface connection is not required.
To perform this test, do the following:
1. Click Clear in the General tab to clear all counters and validate all alarms on local and
remote side of the link.
2. Wait for 5 minutes and then navigate to Count tab and select sub-menu MUX.
The results should be:
RF Frames - The number of correctly received frames
Error Frames - The number of error frames; it value should be 0
TLE - Time in seconds since last error occurred; it should be same as EFS.
EFS - Error free seconds; it should be same as TLE.
ERS - Error seconds; time in seconds during which the errors occurred. The value
should be “0”.
Similar results should be seen on the opposite side of the link as well.
If test results vary, you have to perform a detailed check of the link installation and configuration.

usually in the range of -12dB to -40dB.
For QPSK modulation, the limit value is -10.5dB; for QAM128 modulation, the limit value
is -26dB. (Well designed and installed link has usually MSE value of -32dB and lower, so
the link runs without the errors in QAM 128 modulation). Note that MSE parameter might
display unpredictable values, if Modem sync is not set to OK status,.)
Modem sync - Modem synchronization (ok = correct; no = no synchronization)
HSI Interface - The type of connected HSI module to the IDU
ActualThe status of the overall link (ok=correct)

IP Address Setup
Each IDU in the network must have its own unique IP address, defined subnet mask and the
primary route (gateway). For the link to function correctly (display of the remote device status) it
is also important to set the address of the remote device.
To setup the IP address, navigate to the main menu “IP” and the sub menu “Address”.
Tsunami™ GX800 Installation and Management Guide 25
For example, a device in the network has IP 192.168.3.0/24, gateway 192.168.3.1. The
management data can be transmitted together with the user data through the common cable
connected from the same switch into single Gigabit Ethernet port (port for user data).
After configuring the IP settings, click Apply. The following alert screen appears:

Dual License - Design Type Setup
For all the modulations schemes and bandwidths, Proxim provides one unified firmware (from
version 0207 and higher).
The firmware support two design types:
Design type 301, which permits to switch between bandwidths in the range 7 – 30MHz
Design type 303, which permits to switch between bandwidths in the range 28 – 56MHz
The firmware adapts automatically to uploaded license file in the device.
To configure these parameters, navigate to main menu “Maintenance” and sub-menu
Miscellaneous”.
After configuring the parameters, click Apply.
Click “COMMIT” to save the configured parameters.
!! Note !! IDU with license for 301 design only (Bandwidth 7 30MHz) can work with IDU
with license for 303 design and also these IDUs should run on the specific modulations.
The modulations with “b” index in 303 design can work with the same modulations in 301
design. Example, qam128_28e6_02b 163,24Mbps
Frequency, Modulation and ATPC Setup
The set modulation scheme and the channel bandwidth affects the final data rate (data
throughput) and sensitivity (bridging distance) of GX800 link. Generally, the narrow the band and
lower modulation, the greater the sensitivity.
There are also used self-correcting codes in the modulations. It is the rule that in the same type
Tsunami™ GX800 Installation and Management Guide 28
Figure 29: Design Type
of modulation with a lower data rate there is better self-correcting security and thus a better
sensitivity (revision _01 or _02).
Depending on the type of supplied license (limit for maximum data rate) the modulation type can
be changed (type of modulation can be set / changed up to a maximum transmission capacity).
Microwave link can be ordered in the different licenses in accordance with actual price list and
business policy. Than the transmission capacity can be changed in the range from 10Mbps up to
a maximum data rate of supplied license, maximum 310Mbps.
The modulations are named according to the combination of all the parameters as shown in the
following figure.
To setup the demanded Actual Modulation and Adaptive Modulation (ACM), navigate to main
menu Radio and sub-menu Parameters”. In the parameters screen, navigate to MODEM
CONFIGURATION”.
Actual Modulation Setup (without ACM):
The Actual Modulation parameter represents the current modulation. For a link without ACM
request, the desired modulation must be set directly in the Actual Modulation field as shown in
the following figure.
Tsunami™ GX800 Installation and Management Guide 29
Adaptive Modulation Setup
ACM can be set by using the following three options:
Adaptive Modulation 0 (ACM0) is for the highest throughput and the lowest security
Adaptive Modulation 1 (ACM1) and 2 (ACM2) for the lower data throughput and better
security.
The desired ACM steps should be set at least in two fields ACM0 ACM1 (see the following
figure). A user is allowed to set the ACM only when the Enable ACM box is unchecked. This
guarantees that the Actual Modulation setup could not be performed manually during the active
ACM.
Tsunami™ GX800 Installation and Management Guide 30
Figure 30: Modulation Setup without ACM
After setting the ACM parameters, check the Enable ACM parameter and click Apply. On doing
so, all the ACM parameters turn Grey. The currently modulation (Actual Modulation) is compared
with the ACM options (ACM0-2). If the current modulation is included in the ACM options, the
system will continue with this modulation without any drop-out (if it is not ACM0, the system will
keep evaluating whether the modulation scheme could not be switched to higher ACM option
(Example, from ACM1 to ACM0).
If the current modulation is not included in ACM options, the Actual Modulation will be switched to
ACM0 option.
!! ATTENTION !! For proper operation of ACM, at least two ACM options (ACM0 and ACM1)
must be selected. The rule is that ACM0 modulation is higher than ACM1 and ACM2!!
The same modulation (ACM options) must be set on both sides of the link.
!! Note !! The ACM can be configured by using either 301 or 303 design types. See Dual

BER Test GX800 Link and User Lines Verification
Bit Error Rate (BER) test is used to test and verify the quality of GX800 link and the connected
user lines by using internal BER tester.
GX800 BER Test:
A)
We recommend to allocate the full transmission capacity of GX800 to BER test for a limited
period of time. This way, even accidental and momentary errors can be detected. Switch off the
connected user interfaces (check out RFI MUX) and set:
LAN SPEED: 0 Mbps (no capacity for Ethernet)
BER SPEED: 100 Mbps (corresponding to maximum BER test data rate)
B)
During the vivid link operation, it is necessary to allocate least fractional capacity to run the BER
test.
Navigate to main menu Port and sub-menu “Parameters and configure the following
parameters:
RFI MUX
LAN SPEED
BER SPEED

Analysis of Interference in GX800 link
Integrated Spectral Analyzer is a suitable tool for finding free channels in a given frequency band,
eventually for link interference. For licensed bands, you can use the Analyzer for the free
frequency verification.
Spectrum Analyzer is available in ADMIN and USER mode.
Frequency Analysis at Local Side:
Before finding if the given frequency spectrum is free or occupied, you have to mute the
transmitter on one side (ideally remote side). Exercise care as this will cause drop out of user
data transmission.
Login to remote device and mute the transmitter for a specified period of time with an automatic
revival. The interval for mute could be set from 1 to 3600 seconds. The remote unit will start
transmitting again automatically as the specified time elapses.
Navigate to main menu Radio” and sub-menu Analyzer”, and enter the time in seconds and
click Mute ODU button.
Tsunami™ GX800 Installation and Management Guide 39
Next, click Analyze to start the spectrum analysis at the local terminal. In licensed bands, the
Analyze over whole band option causes analysis through the whole spectrum with a wider
frequency spacing (14MHz), otherwise the analysis is made in 56MHz range only around the RX
frequency with spacing 3.5MHz.
Frequency Analysis at Remote Side:
It is also possible to set a pause before scanning the spectrum. This is suitable for analyzing the
remote device. Set the pause (for example 10 seconds and click Analyze at remote side this
will disconnect the management between the terminals and start the analysis after the specified
period of time (pause).
Tsunami™ GX800 Installation and Management Guide 40
Figure 39: Spectrum Analyzer Setup and Output
Before the pause at remote side elapses, click Mute ODU on local side for a specified period of
time (example 150 seconds) and wait for the analyze to finish. After that, the units should
interconnect again and the management of remote unit will be possible again. Finally, check the
frequency analyze at remote side.
!! Note !! Spectrum analysis for licensed bands last approximately for 150 seconds.
During this time, no data passes through the link.

IP Management
To access the management port, use either the connection via 10/100 Fast Ethernet port, which
is connected to the switch B, or with the LAN A-B switch interconnection set (LAN A-B switch on)
or by means of a 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet port. Other ports on the CPU are primarily used
for connecting remote IDU or remote external device.
In-Band Management through Gigabit Ethernet port
In the simplest case, it is possible to supervise the entire system from one or both sides of the
link via the Gigabit Ethernet port(s). The management data together with the user data are
Tsunami™ GX800 Installation and Management Guide 46
Figure 43: SNMP
brought via the common Gigabit cable from the external Ethernet switch to IDU (see IDU1 and
IDU2 in Figure 44 below).
Given below is an example which illustrates the connection of individual management ports in the
IDUs along with the method to configure IP settings of both the IDUs.
Out-of-Band Management through Fast Ethernet Port – Access from one
side
Another option is to supervise the entire system from one side of the GX800 link separately from
the user data through Fast ETHERNET port. The management data are brought independently
from user data into the management port in IDU. Connect management PC into the Fast
ETHERNET port on side A.
Given below is an example which illustrates the connection of individual management ports in the
IDUs along with the method to configure IP settings of both the IDUs.
Tsunami™ GX800 Installation and Management Guide 47
Figure 44: In-Band Management through Gigabit Ethernet Port
By modifying this configuration, we can get limited access also from the second side of the link.
For example, by setting the mask on the B-side to 30, the IP of the management PC on B-side
will be 10.11.12.4/30 and it will have the gateway set to 10.11.12.3. Then set the static route of
the device for the management PC on the A-side:
via IP/dev rfi1: dev rfi1
Routed IP/MASK: 10.11.12.4
Out-of-Band Management over Fast Ethernet Port – Standard Routing
Scheme (two independent subnets)
For management access from both the sides of the link (where management data is separated
from the user data) it is necessary to observe the rules of static routing. Further, it is necessary to
have the IP addresses from different subnets on each side of the link. This technique is the most
complicated, but the most neat one in terms of complex network projects. The block diagram of
IDU in terms of IP is shown in the following figure.
Tsunami™ GX800 Installation and Management Guide 48
Figure 45: Out-of-band management over Fast ETHERNET port – Access from one side
The figure below indicates the IP settings for both the IDUs. The device A is in the subnet
10.11.12.xx/24 and the device B is in the subnet 10.11.13.xx/24.
The example of adding NAT and route rules is shown in the following figure.

Figure 46: Out-of-Band Management over Fast Ethernet Port
Figure 47: IP setup for device A (left) and device B (right)
In-band and Out-of-band Management – NAT
The simplest and the most recommended solution is a combination of in-band and out-of-band
management. This solution permits access from one or both sides of the link via Gigabit
ETHERNET port and also from Fast ETHERNET port (beware of and avoid possible loop on
Ethernet).
The remote device can be managed via In-band management and Out-of-Band management.
In In-band management, the management traffic flows with the regular wireless user traffic. For
example, direct access of the remote device by using remote device's direct IP address.
In out-of-band management, the management traffic will flow in a separate RFI channel and not
as part of regular user traffic. For configuring the out-of-band management, you need to
configure to access the remote device access on ports defined in NAT rules in the local device.
The following figure illustrates the connection of individual management ports in the IDUs along
with the method to configure IP settings of both the IDUs.

To avoid login problems, do not use browser's “back“, “forward” or “refresh” buttons but only the
links and buttons of the web interface.
A user might log out also when the link takes longer time to respond.
Login Problems While Device Restarts
Web Interface: These problems occur when when the ODU is not connected and you
tried to login before the connection got established. When the device restarts, wait for
about 30-60 seconds, and then login.
Command Prompt: When you try to login to the device after its restart using RJ45 to
RS232 interface and a message is displayed at prompt saying “no access”. This
happens probably when IDU does not communicate correctly with its own peripheries
including ODU (typically disconnected ODU). This status can last about 30 seconds. If it
happens for a longer period of time during the device operation, or if these commands
cause terminal “freezing”, use the command “reset killmonitor” (it causes shorter drop out
approximately 5 seconds), or restart device (“reset system” - longer drop out
approximately 35 seconds).
Problems in Communicating with the ODU
When you face these problems, disconnect the IF cable from ODU and measure voltage on the
ODU RF connector. The measure voltage should be same as IDU supply voltage (Depending on
the cable length, the maximal decline is -2 V). If it is not same then check the device
consumption. The IDU consumption together with ODU should be approximately 1 A.
Problems in Setting ODU Parameters
Before setting the ODU parameters (set rad txf and set rad txp) in the text mode, use “?” for
viewing adjustable values. Maximal output power of ODU depends on the type of modulation.
Problems with Modem Synchronization
Check the external Automatic Gain Control (AGC) which is the automatic adjustment of IDU gain
at receiving way (cable). The ideal value is between 4 to 16 dB. The more the value, the higher is
the IF attenuation. The displayed gain can be a maximum of 17.5 dB, which means:
1. No signal is received
2. ODU is not powered
3. Broken cable
Problems with Received Signal (Rx) level at ODU
Check whether the ODU parameters are properly set (the Tx frequency and Rx frequency should
be same on both the terminals, adequate output power and ODU is not muted) for both the IDUs.
Next, check for correct installation and antenna alignment (voltmeter on BNC connector).
Tsunami™ GX800 Installation and Management Guide 52
Problems with MSE
Check the received power at ODU. If it is OK, switch off the opposite ODU and scan the band
(Radio / analyzer). By this, you will find the background noise in a given band. If the problem is
not caused by noise, check the RF cable (connectors, shielding and so on).
Problems with Failing Link
Check the counters on RFI (Count / rfi/hsi), erase (button Clear) and check the counters on RFI
again. If there are errors (the frames are not counted, the error frames are counted) check MSE
(General / status MSE) and Rx Level at ODU (General / status Rx Level). If you still face
problem, follow the instructions as mentioned earlier.
Problems with Ethernet Connection
Check the setup (Ports / parameters) of LAN ports. The setup has to be the same as setup on
the opposite terminal (switch, PC, router and so on). Try to analyze the problem with the help of
frame counters (Count / LAN basic) and detailed counters (Count / LAN detailed).
Problems with IP Management
IP parameters get saved in the memory only after device reboot. Change in the IP address can
be a router problem (before change of arp table). You can display the actual adjusted
parameters including the counters by the command “sh IP stat” (count / IP), actual routers by the
command “sh IP route” (IP / route).
Use program “ping ip_address_of_your_device” from Personal Computer and trace counters via
Personal Computer serial console (“sh ip stat”). Use “ping ip_address_your_PC” from device and
trace counters; Use “ping ip_address_starting_gate”, eventually “ping
ip_address_device_with_the_same_subnet” and trace printout and counters. With incorrect
visualization of opposite device status, check the IP address setup of remote rfi (“sh ip conf”) (IP /
address).

Description of Command Line Interface
When you logon to the device through CLI, the following command prompt (telnet, hyper
terminal) appears.
Name_NM\#
Name - name of device
N - N/E – current status of device
M - N/E – historically was/ was not error
\ - “\” saved / “I” unsaved changes
# - “>” classical / “#” enable mod
Brief Description of the Commands
The command “sh system” displays the general status of the device. Following are the possible
status of the device:
ok : The turned-on controls are OK – LED is on
warning : The non-system turned-on controls are in error status – LED blinks
error : The system turned-on controls (last 3 rows sh alarm all) are in
error status – LED is turned-off
The device is equipped with control mechanisms such as:
Detailed counters of Ethernet frames (“sh lan cou” …., “sh cou lan”)
Frames for rfi with crc control (“sh cou rfi”)
e3 frames with control of header (“sh cou hsi”)
Internal test of bitwise errors (“sh ber”) with error history (“sh his ber”)
Administration of actual status with control (able to turn-off) of parameters and function
(“sh his ber”)
History of error parameters (“sh alarm dump”) and their setting (“sh alarm conf”) affecting
the generation of SNMP traps.
To obtain actual configuration values and view the status of controls (reports), use the following
commands:
xxx\#sh alarm all

With Best tester, it is possible to set both the rfi direction (“set ber speed xxx” - attention, it has
the lowest priority; for right function it is necessary to decrease Ethernet capacity), and HSI
direction (“set hsi e1 chxx ber”, “set hsi e2 chxx ber”) and control the given data path. It is
possible to combine the Ber tester with loop backs for verification of the right function of data
paths (“set e 1 chx loop”, “set hsi loop”, ...)
For loop backs, it is needed to look for possible embedded Ethernet.
Counter and also ber tester is possible to delete (“cle cou” , “cle lancou”, “cle ber”).
The device status can be viewed with commands “sh st lan”, “sh st mux”, sh st system”, “sh
modem”, “sh radio stat”, “sh radio atpc”.

Appendix C - IDU Functionality
The following figure illustrates the functionality of an IDU.
The circuits of the Ethernet interface and the HSI module together with Digital Multiplexer (DATA
MUX), Digital Modem (DSP block), Central Processing Unit (CPU) and the Analog signal
processing block are the essential functional blocks of the IDU.
Data is first processed by the Ethernet physical layer, followed by the HSI interface. The
processed data is then directed to the Data Multiplexer for further processing. Digital modem
then adds synchronization marks, Forward Error Correction (FEC) to the data stream and creates
a digitally modulated signal, which is directed to the Analog signal block for further processing. All
these parts are interconnected inside the device with high-speed bus and are controlled by the
CPU. This block is also accessible via management interfaces and allows the user to configure
all the settings both locally and remotely through the IP interface on the IDU.
Digital Multiplexer (block DATA MUX), from a user's perspective is divided into two parts:
RFI: Processes the data coming into the modem from HSI and Ethernet
HSI: Process the data coming from the HSI module
RFI is a digital multiplexer (based on Packet Based Priority System (PBPS)) which creates a
single data stream for the modem block containing all the permitted user input data. The data
source for digital multiplexer are the signals from HSI interface, Ethernet data and data from the
internal BER tester. System PBPS first transmits the data with the high priority and than with the
low priority - from Ethernet block and from internal BER tester. Thus, prioritizing the data
transmission helps to dynamically reduce data transmission rate, depending on the available
overall transmission capacity.

Figure 50: Block Diagram of the IDU
The priorities for data transmission are assigned in the following order:
1. Service monitoring channel signal for management - 115 kbps (the highest priority)
2. Signal E3/T3 from the Internal Bus – 34.368 / 44.736 Mbps
3. Signals E2 from the Internal Bus (channels 2 to 4) – 3 x 8.448 Mbps
4. Signals E1/T1 from the Internal Bus (channels 1 to 4 / 2) 4 x 2,048 Mbps / 2 x 1,544
Mbps
5. Signal from Ethernet block – 0 up to 400 Mbps (400 for 56MHz)
6. Signal from BER tester – 1 up to 100 Mbps (the lowest priority )
DSP block is the core of the IDU and provides its own digital modulation and demodulation. The
whole block is configured and monitored by the CPU. All settings related to the types of
modulation and their selected bandwidth are loaded into the DSP block and this block ensures
the correct algorithm for data processing.
