8x2, 16x2 or 34 Mbit/s. Remote craft terminal function.

If the software key is omitted, an alarm is generated and the equipment is shut down after 24 hours.The equipment has five optional engineering service channels: one reserved for supervision, one for useas a telephone line with selective calling, three customizable by daughter boards (channels 4 and 5 are not usedin the 2x2 Mbit/s version).Maintenance operations are simplified by the use of microcontrollers backing up the configuration.The standard equipment features three equipment alarms, eight environment (housekeeping) alarmloops (TS) and one environment remote control loop (TC). The first of these eight alarm loops is factoryconfigured for assignment to the fan alarm, and cannot be modified.An optional 16 TS/TC board provides for an additional:

16 internal alarm loops, four housekeeping remote controls (TC), 12 housekeeping alarm loops (TS).

The equipment incorporates the following functions: link identification code to avoid the accidental demultiplexing of interference signals, multiplex protection and switching via a protection switching board, crossconnecting of 2 or 8 Mbit/s tributaries, controlled by the software from a master station

(option), for reorganizing the routing of a networks tributaries in terminal stations, terminal or repeater mode configuration, for creating nonlinear networks using bit stream drop and

insert functions in repeater type relay stations (2 or 8 Mbit/s and/or auxiliary 2 Mbit/s), auxiliary 2 Mbit/s available with 34 Mbit/s, 16x2 Mbit/s and 4x8 Mbit/s configurations.

The technical characteristics of the equipment are as follows: Direct 4QAM or 16QAM radio frequency modulation, Parity encoding and weighted decision 32/31 error correcting decoding (Wagner), Time equalizer, Transmit and receive frequencies synthesized in 10 kHz steps and controlled by the supervisory

function, Climatic range: -10C to +55C.

The equipment includes the following builtin test functions: local loopback, remote loopback, transmit modeinsertion of a pseudo random pattern on a tributary and BER measurement on reception of that tributary to checkout link operation.To facilitate tributary wiring, additional distribution frames are provided (75 or 120 ). The rack includes aposition for a compressor (for pressurizing feeders and waveguides).The equipment features numerous supervisory functionalities, such a link performance monitoring, alarmdisplay, forwarding of remote controls. Supervision can be exercised at three levels:

Local supervision for displaying the local equipment and a remote network element (slave key). Ifthe key features the RCT (Remote Craft Terminal) option, the remote craft terminal can be used toreceive a copy of the image that appears on the master craft terminal (CT) monitoring the network.

9400 LX/UX network supervision (integrated mediation function), for monitoring a network of up to63 other 9400 LX and RQ2 UX network elements.

Alcatel supervision: full compatibility with Alcatel network management (Alcatel 1300 range) usingRQ2 interface.

The equipment can support 1+0 to 5+1 configurations. The composition of a terminal station, which dependson the number of channels and the accommodation capability of the ETSI rack, leads to the followingdistribution:

one rack can accommodate terminal equipment configurations of up to three channels, two racks can accommodate 3+1 to 5+1 terminal equipment configurations, an additional rack can be used for equipment specific to configurations with space diversity.

Relay (repeater) stations theoretically comprise two sets of terminal equipment and require twice the numberof racks used in a terminal station. However, only one additional rack is needed for terminal or repeaterconfigurations with space diversity (see example in Figure 2).Section 2.12, below, lists all the boards and modules that can be used in the ETSI racks and their part numbers.

power amplification.

The receiver board (RX) receives a 4QAM modulated carrier (or 16QAM as an option in the 1.5 GHz and7-8 GHz bands), and demodulates it to recover the aggregate signal intended for the MSU board. The functionsincorporated into the receiver are:

lownoise amplification of the received carrier, direct 4QAM demodulation (16QAM as an option in the 1.5 GHz and 7/8 GHz bands), using a local

oscillator incorporated in the receiver, analogue filtering and amplification of the baseband signal with AGC, analogue/digital conversion, Nyquist digital filtering, error correction Wagner decoding.

From BER measurements, it also prepares the switching request signals for the multiplexer/ demultiplexerboard (MSU).The TX and RX boards are frequency agile in 10 kHz steps. They differ according to the frequency band :

two boards cover the 1.5 GHz band : 1.35 - 1.53 GHz, one in 4QAM mode, the other in 16QAM mode, three boards cover the three subbands of the 2 GHz band respectively : 1.7 - 2.1 GHz, 1.9 - 2.3 GHz

and 2.3 - 2.7 GHz in 4QAM modulation mode. two boards cover the 7/8 GHz band : 7.1 - 8.5 GHz, one in 4QAM mode, the other in 16QAM mode.

The branching block comprises duplexed filters and circulators, the number of which depends on theconfiguration. It segregates the transmitted and received RF signals. Depending on the band, there will be asingle filter (1.5 GHz band) or two filters (2 and 7/8 GHz bands) to cover the 1.7 - 2.3 GHz and 2.1 - 2.7 GHzand 7.1 - 7.7 GHz and 7.7 - 8.5 GHz subbands respectively.The filters are factoryset to the channel defined by the user, and make it possible to adapt to the variousfrequency plans defined by ITU-R, CEPT and some national authorities in each band. The same applies forthe duplex separation between the transmit filter and the receive filter.The RF switch and the receive adapter necessary for the HSB function, when this configuration is chosen, areinstalled between TX, RX board and the filter.The engineering service channel boards (ESC 2_3 and ESC 4_5) provide the user interfaces for the ESCs.These boards provide a baseband mode ESC drop and insert capability. ESC N2 is reserved for the telephoneservice channel with selective calling. The other channels can be configured by the use of daughter boards.ESC N4 can be configured as a second telephone service channel with selective calling. The position for theoptional ESC 4_5 board must in this case be occupied by a second ESC 2_3 board.The general supervision interface unit (GSU) can be used to:

check the internal operation of the system (dialogue with the equipment boards via a serial bus), externally monitor operation of the system (F interfaces, rQ2 supervision interface), locally and

remotely via the RQ2 network supervision function, and also using Alcatel Network Management(Alcatel 1300 range).

The GSU board provides: three equipment alarm remote indication outputs (Urgent Alarm, NonUrgent Alarm, Alarm Attended), eight environment remote indication (TS) inputs, the first being used for the fan alarm, a remote control (TC) output.

The GSU board uses ESC No. 1 to exchange network supervision information.

A batterybacked maintenance memory logs all events.Note: The MSU, GSU and RX modules each incorporate a microcontroller containing a backup of theconfiguration to simplify maintenance operations.Builtin remote controls make it possible to set up local loopback and remote loopback test configurations andmeasure the bit error ratio (BER) on a tributary receiving a pseudorandom bit pattern sent out by remote controlfrom the other end of the radio hop.The 16 TS/TC board (optional) extends the supervision capabilities by increasing the number of basic TS/TCoffered by the GSU board (addition of 16 internal equipment alarm loops, of 12 housekeeping alarm remoteindication loops (TS), and four remote controls (TC).A power supply unit (PSU) provides DC/DC conversion from a primary voltage to produce the regulatedsecondary voltages required to operate all the backplane boards.The hardware configurations can include a compressor for pressurizing the feeders and waveguides, and aspecial position is provided inside the rack.

2.3 Operation of the equipment in 1+1 configurationsThe 1+1 configurations can enhance link quality and link availability by safeguarding against equipment failureand propagation problems. There are various possible configurations with the ETSI rack layout:

1+1 HSB (Hot Standby), with or without space diversity, 1+1 FD (frequency diversity), 1+1 FD with hybrid diversity, 1+1 with occasional backup.

Figure 4 Layout of the 9400 LX in ETSI rack configuration (configuration 1+1)

Caution! To convert a 1+0 configuration to a 1+1 configuration requires wiring that is not easy to set up on site.It is therefore essential to make provision when defining the equipment to define the final wiring. Only the boardsand configurations will then be changed subsequently.These configurations are obtained by adding to the 1+0 configuration:

a transmitter TX board, a receiver RX board, a power supply unit PSU board.

Each channel (Tx, Rx) is powered by its own PSU board, the common elements being powered simultaneouslyby the two PSU boards for protection. In these configurations, the MSU board, on reception, provides hitlessswitching between the normal channel and the standby channel.

2.3.1 1+1 HSB configurationIn 1+1 HSB configuration, the system uses two transmitters at the same frequency. A microwave relay switchesthe power from one to the antenna and the power from the other to the load comprising its output circulator; inthe event of a transmission failure, the relay switches in the signal from the other transmitter. In reception, thesignal is sent to two receivers via a divider circuit, and the MSU chooses the stronger of the two signals. Thissystem has the advantage of requiring only a single RF transmission channel. It protects the system againsta transmitter or receiver failure.

This configuration (Figure 5) requires only a single branching filter, but the following must be added: for transmission, a relay for selecting the transmitter, for reception, a 3 dB divider to send the received RF signal to the two receivers. The MSU board selects

the receiver from which to take the signals.

2.3.2 1+1 HSB/DIV configurationThis configuration (Figure 6) differs from the 1+1 HSB configuration by the presence of a second antenna forreception, linked to the standby receiver. It does not feature a 3 dB divider, but is equipped with an additionalbranching filter. This configuration improves availability by introducing space diversity providing protectionagainst propagation problems.

2.3.3 1+1 FD configurationIn a frequency diversity configuration( figure 7), the signal is sent simultaneously over the normal and standbychannels, the frequencies of which are sufficiently far apart for propagation fading to be correlated as little aspossible (this configuration is not available in the 1.5 GHz frequency band).

2.3.4 Hybrid 1+1 FD/DIV configurationThis configuration (Figure 8) can be used on a link when the remote station is a 1+1 FD type station. It enablesthe signals from that station to be received on two antennas, so adding receive mode space diversity. It requirestwo branching filters (one for each transceiver), each linked to one antenna (this configuration is not availablein the 1.5 GHz frequency band).

2.3.5 1+1 configuration with occasional backupIn this configuration (Figures 9 and 10), the backup channel has no elements in common with the normalchannel, and can therefore be independent.

It requires: an MSU board for the backup channel (MSU-X) which can itself be backed up (backup MSU-X), a TIU board for the backup channel (TIU-X) which can be different from that of channel 1, a logic switching unit (LSU) which manages switching requests on the basis of alarms occurring

during data transmission on the main channel.

If a fault affects channel 1, when transmitting, MSU 1 switches the channel 1 aggregate to the channel Xtransmitter, whereas, when receiving, it distributes the backup aggregate signal to the different MSU boards (forexample, in an N+1 configuration), otherwise MSU board 1 routes the channel X aggregate to channel X.
