7. If the SPU has already been installed

• cut the cable to the correct length;
• install a connector;
• check for shorts (see caution below); and
• connect the coaxial cable to the SPU.
On a protected system, ensure connecting Channel-A to the top
Modem (A) and Channel B to the bottom Modem (B). If the SPU has
not been installed yet, leave the bare end of the coaxial cable near the place
where the SPU is to be installed.
8. Using the multimeter, check that the resistance between the coaxial cable’s
center connector and the shield is more than 100 Ω, with the far end
connected to the RFU.

A lower resistance value indicates that there is a

short in the coaxial cable or in the RFU that may
damage the SPU’s breaker when it is switched ON.
If this is the case, replace the faulty element
(cable or RFU).

OPTIONS AND ORDERING

To maintain your microwave radio with a minimum of down time, your
organization will have to maintain a stock of spare units (or modules). To do
so, you may wish to order additional spares from time to time, to assure that
you have enough spares to properly maintain the system. In addition, after
you replace a faulty unit with a spare, you will want to return the faulty unit to
Harris for repair. This Chapter explains how to accomplish these tasks.

of 125 µs, also known as frame. SDH transport defines a range of frames,
STM-1...STM-64, each corresponding to a particular transmission rate, such as
STM-1 (155 Mbit/s), STM-4 (622 Mbit/s), STM-16 (2.5 Gbit/s), and
STM-64 (10 Gbit/s).
STS-n Synchronous Transport Signal, Level n— The basic logical building block signal of
a SONET. The STS-1 (level 1) signal has a rate of 51.840 Mbit/s. The
international equivalent of this rate is the STM.
TCM Trellis-Coded Modulation — A bandwidth-efficient scheme that combines error-
correction coding with modulation. The redundancy thus introduced by the
coding does not expand the bandwidth, since the parity bits are absorbed by the
extended signal constellation. Two-dimensional (2D) TCM uses dependency
between in-phase and quadrature symbols, while four-dimensional (4D) TCM
introduces dependency between symbols of two successive intervals.
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol — A standard that provides
connectivity across computer platforms ranging from mainframes to
Macintoshes. These computers can exchange data when connected over a
compatible network scheme, such as Ethernet or X.25. Originally developed by
the Department of Defense in the 70’s, these protocols are now a de facto
industry standard.
UDP User Datagram Protocol — A TCP/IP protocol that describes how messages reach
application programs within a destination computer.
WAN Wide-area Network — A network that provides telecommunication services to a
geographic area larger than that served by a local area network or a
metropolitan area network.
Web-CIT Web-Craft Interface Tool — A Harris’ proprietary software utility for monitoring
and controlling the operation and configuration of the TRuepoint™ radios.
Located on the TRuepoint™ Controller, any of the two NTWRK/LAN ports allows
for connecting a PC running the Web-CIT server that is embedded in the radio.
This web server stores HTML pages and applets that provide a user interface for
monitoring and controlling any TRuepoint™ Network Element, using the
Microsoft® Internet Explorer, version 5.5 and later.
