1.6. Cautions to avoid equipment damage

a ) Unit assemblies

Each of the IDU MAIN UNIT and IDU EXTENSION UNIT is assembled inside its own box and must be

considered an unique item from the service and maintenance points of view. Such an assembly issupplied by Alcatel as it is and must never be disassembled, with the exception of plug-in

installation (described in the Technical Handbook).

b ) Antistatic protection device kit

Whenever is necessary to handle spare parts and boards out of their own box, this kit must be always

warn and its termination must be connected to a grounded structure, to avoid the possible damage of

the electronic devices for electrostatic discharges.

ELASTICIZED BAND

COILED CORD

Figure 1 - Antistatic protection device kit

c ) Screw fixing

In normal operation conditions, all screws (for unit box closing, cable fixing, etc.) must be always

tightened to avoid item detachment and to ensure the equipment EMI-EMC performance.

The screw tightening torque must be:

2.8 kg x cm (0.28 Newton x m) +/- 10 %2.4317 in lb (0.2026 ft lb) +/- 10 %

Exceeding this value may result in screw breaking.

d ) IDU-ODU cable disconnection / connection

Before to disconnect or connect the IDU-ODU cable (at IDU or ODU side) switch off the corresponding

IDU Main Unit or IDU Extension Unit.

e ) Craft Terminal connection

To connect the CT cable (at IDU Main Units F or OS Ethernet interface and/or PC side):

verify that the PC is switched off (if switched on, close all running applications, then switch off it) connect suitable cable to IDU Main Units F or OS Ethernet interface and PC side

now the PC can be safely switched on.

f ) Craft Terminal disconnection

To disconnect the CT cable (at IDU Main Units F or OS Ethernet interface and/or PC side):

perform the logoff, exiting from the CT applications

close all other running applications, if any

switch off the PC

now the cable can be safely disconnected.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT

The 9400 AWY is a family of digital Point to Point microwave radio systems covering the frequency range

from 13 GHz to 38 GHz, consisting of an Indoor Unit (IDU) providing the baseband processing and

tributaries interfaces as well as service channel and supervision, and an Outdoor Unit (ODU)

IDU and ODU are connected with a single standard coaxial cable (up to 300 meters / 985 ft) carrying the

main traffic, the remote power supply voltage for the ODU and auxiliary information.

The ODU (one or two depending on the configuration 1+0 or 1+1) incorporates the complete RF

transceiver and can be associated with an integrated 30 cm, 60 cm, 90 cm or 120 cm (1, 2, 3 or 4 ft)

antenna or separate antenna, if a larger diameter is needed. The ODU is capacityindependent and

consists of a single cabinet (size and weight independent on frequency) with a solar shield. The pole

mounting is the same for 1+0 or 1+1 configurations from 7/8 to 38 GHz.

The first step provides a screen to configure two NE parameters:

- Market: (ETSI or ANSI; NB: for ANSI refer to para.1.4 Additional feature and SWP-version

relationshipon page 7);

The market choice implies a first selection of possible frame structure.

- Type:The possible selections for the NE Type are:

- 1+0 (PSU24 or PSU4860 or PSU2460): Unprotected configuration

- 1+1 HSB (PSU24 or PSU4860 or PSU2460): Hot Standby protected configuration

- 1+1 FD (PSU24 or PSU4860 or PSU2460): Frequency Diversity protected configuration

NB: for PSU2460 refer to para.1.4Additional feature and SWP-version relationshipon page 7.

Each of these three possible types is available with the following tributaries:

- 8E1/DS1

- 8E1/DS1_ETH (2 User Ethernet ports)

- 16E1/DS1

- 1E3/DS3

Step 5 (Channel configuration) in Rel. 2.0.0

Step 5 allows the operator to define the basic parameters for each configured channel.

Figure 24 - Quick Conf iguration Procedure: Channels Configuration (Step 5 in Rel. 2.0.0)

In the Channels Configurationarea is present theATPCselection. The Automatic Transmit Power Control

function allows the system to regulate the transmitted power according to the remote received level.

De facto, in ATPC mode enabled, the TX powerfield in the RTPCarea does not exist.

With the ATPC "Disabled", the TX power (constantly transmitted) can be set at the suitable value in the TX

powerfield.

In the Frequency Value area, the TX operating frequency must be written in the Tx Freq field. The RxFrequencyis automatically adjusted according to the frequency shifter available with the ODU.

All the values must be selected according to the relevant allowed ranges (shown between brackets).

N.B: In case of 1+1HSB configuration, the ATPC, TX power, and TX frequency choices will be applied

to both channels. In case of 1+1FD configuration, the same screen will be proposed for both channels 0

and channel 1, with only the ATPC mode as a common choice.

In the Channel Configuration area the ATPC can be Enabled or Disabled. If enabled, the other ATPC

parameters (min. value, max. value and Rx threshold) must be configured in RTPC & ATPC menu in the

Radio domain.

If ATPC is disabled in the RTPC area the power (costantly transmitted) can be selected by writing the

suitable value in the Tx powerfield.

The system can operate with different types of ODU according to the RF band and to the channel

arrangement. There are ODUs which can manage only one shifter (fixed shifter) or several predefinedshifters (flexible shifter).

ODU with one Shifter only

If the ODU can manage only one shifter the Shifterfield in the menu is not available (it is grey).
