y RFU - RF Unit
The RFU handles the main radio processing. It includes the following radio components: signal receiving,
signal transmission, IF processing, and power supply.
IF processing is a module that combines two signals, main and diversity, and uses the combined signal to
overcome multipathphenomenon (for Space Diversity configurations).
The RFU has different versions, depending on the frequency band.

y IBN - Indoor Branching Network


The IBN is a branching network for N+1 radio systems. It provides the electrical and mechanical interface
between the RFU and the antenna waveguides.
The IBN has several versions, depending on the frequency and application.
The Branching Network contains N+1 x ICBs (Indoor Circulator Blocks), ICC (Indoor Combiner
Circulator), RF filters, and other WG components, which are connected in accordance with the system
configuration (1+1, N+1, N+0, etc.).
IBN components are integrated with the RFUs.

y ICB - Indoor Circulator Block


Each RFU is connected to one ICB, and several ICBs are chained to each other. The chained ICBs carry
different RF channels and are connected to a single ICC, which sums the RF signals.
The main ICB functions inlcude:
- Hosts the circulators and filters.
- Routes the RF signals in the correct direction, via the filters and circulators.

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 1-7


- Facilitates RFU connection to the main and diversity antennas.
The ICB is a modular stand-alone unit. When system expansion is necessary, additional ICBs will be
added and chained with the existing ICBs.

y ICC - Indoor Combiner Circulator


The ICC sums the Rx and Tx signals and combines the N channels to the output ports (one or two, in
accordance with the configuration).
There are two types of ICCs:
ICC - does not perform summing of space diversity ICBs (single output port)
ICCD - performs space diversity ICB summing (two output ports)
Within these types, there are two sub-types:
ICC3/ICCD3 - sums up to three ICBs
ICC5/ICCD5 - sums up to five ICBs
For example:
We will assume a 3200T system in a 4+4 dual pole configuration, as shown in the illustration below.

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 1-8


In this configuration, three ICBs are chained together and connected to a vertical ICC, and two ICBs are
chained together and connected to a horizontal ICC.
The RF components will include:
- Five RFUs
- Five ICBs
- Two ICCs

y RF Filters
The RF Filters are used for specific frequency channels and Tx/Rx separation. The filters are attached to
the ICB, and each RFU contains one Rx and one Tx filter.
In a Space Diversity configuration, each RFU contains two Rx filters (to combine the IF signals) and one
Tx filter.

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 1-9


Baseband Indoor Components

FibeAir 3200T Indoor Unit

IDC - IDU Controller


The IDC card is responsible for the management of the Baseband Indoor. Management includes all FCAPS
functionality (Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Provisioning, and Security).
The indoor is equipped with up to five IDMs that can be installed in three floors:
Floor 1 - 2 IDMs
Floor 2 - 1 IDM and XC card
Floor 3 - 2 IDMs
Each IDC manages the relevant floor, according to its location.

IDM - Indoor Module


The IDM is the data carrier, which consists of two independent drawers:
- Multiplexer drawer
- Modem drawer (IF)
The Multiplexer drawer is a standard SDH/SONET regenerator. It receives standard SDH/SONET data from
its line interface and transfers the data to the Modem drawer.
The line interface can be one of the following:
- Optical interface, single-mode,1300 nm, SC connector
- Optical interface, multi-mode,1300 nm, SC connector
- Electrical interface, CMI/1.0-2.3
The Modem drawer is a multi-constellation modem that performs data conversion from the baseband
frequency to the IF frequency, and vice versa.
The Multiplexer and the IF drawer are hot swappable cards that can be replaced while the indoor is operating.

XC - Switching Board
The XC board is responsible for the N+1 functionality.
When a radio problem occurs in one of the N links, the XC board builds an alternative path between the local
and remote Multiplexer drawers. The switch between the paths is performed using the Hitless method.

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 1-10


Connection Panel
The fourth floor of the Basebase Indoor is responsible for most of the sub-rack connectivity. It includes the
Auxiliary board, N-type connectors, and two power supply feeding boards.

N-Type Connectors
These are IF cable connectors located on the Connection Panel, which connect the Baseband Indoor and the
RFUs.

Power Supply Feeding Board


This board is responsible for the power distribution in the Baseband Indoor. There are two power supply input
boards for power input redundancy.

Chapter 2: Initial System Setup

General
After the system is installed and antenna alignment is performed, the next step is initial IDU setup and
configuration.
Initial setup procedures are performed on a craft terminal via a serial port connection. Additional setup
procedures are performed using the CeraView software supplied with FibeAir.
For a complete description of CeraView, see the CeraView® User Guide.

Note: The craft terminal should be used only to perform the initial setup procedures desribed in this chapter.
Once the system is up and running, use CeraView to maintain and operate the system on a regular basis.

Initial Setup Steps for up to 4+1 Configuration


The following initial setup procedure refers to one FibeAir 3200T IDU at each site, which allows the user to
reach a configuration of up to 4+1 (five carriers).

The procedure includes the following steps:

Procedures Performed using a Craft Terminal:

- Connecting to the IDU via serial port. The 3200T IDU consists of three levels (IDCs) that need to be
connected to.

- Defining IP addresses for each one of the three IDCs.

- Setup options.

Procedures Performed using CeraView:

- Connecting to the Ethernet ports (two ports on the top panel of the IDU)

- Installing the software

- Startng Ceraview and connecting to the unit, specifying the IP address of the middle level (IDC)

- Setting the local Tx frequency channel for the five carriers

Note: The protected carrier is the one connected to the upper left drawer.

- Specifying system information

- Configuring the local/remote transport

- Configuring trap forwarding

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 2-1


- Setting up external alarms

Connecting the Line Interfaces

Initial Setup using the Craft Terminal


The following procedures are performed after the ODU/RFU and antenna are installed.

Connecting to the IDU via Serial Port

Turn the IDU power switch ON, and note the following:

- Make sure that the color of the main power LED on the IDU front panel is blue. (Note that there are two
main power inputs to the IDU.)

- On the front panel of each of the five IDMs, make sure the color of the power LED is green.

To set up the HyperTerminal connection:

1. Connect the RS-232 port of your computer to the RS-232 (9-pin) port on the IDU front panel. This port is
labeled “Terminal”.

2. Select Start, Programs, Accessories, Communication, HyperTerminal.

3. Double-click the HyperTerminal application icon.

4. For Connection Description, type Terminal, and click OK.

5. In the Connect Using field (Phone Number), select Direct to Com 1, and click OK.

6. In the Port Settings tab (Com 1 Properties), specify the following settings:
Bits per second - 19,200
Data bits - 8
Parity - None
Stop bits - 1
Flow control - Hardware

7. Click OK.

8. After you connect to the terminal, to enter the terminal setup program, press Enter.

9. For password, use ceragon.

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 2-2


Initial Setup Steps for up to 9+1 Configuration
Cascading two 3200T IDUs at each site will enable a configuration of up to 9+1 (10 carriers), or XPIC 7+1 with
two additional carriers.

The setup steps for a configuration of up to 9+1, are identical to those of the configuration of up to 4+1 (see
above) except for the following differences:

You must configure all six IDCs using the HyperTerminal.

You must specify if you are using cascading mode, using the HyperTerminal

You must specify in which IDU the protected link will be defined.

To set the cascading mode:

1. In the main terminal program menu, select Configuration.

2. Select System configuration.

3. Select Cluster configuration.

Specify the number of sub-racks in the system. 1 for stand alone, or 2 for cascading mode.
Specify either 1 or 2 for the sub-rack number. The protected carrier will be in sub-rack 1.

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 2-3


Defining IP Addresses
Before you can configure the 3200T system, you need to define four IP addresses using the craft terminal.

FibeAir 3200T includes three levels of two IP interfaces: an Ethernet interface, and a serial interface. Each
interface has its own IP address and IP mask.
You must configure an IP address for each of the three IDCs - a unique shelf number for each shelf in the
cluster.
In addition, you must define same base IP address for every 3200T IDC. The address is a four digit number
separated by decimal points. Each IP address is a pair netid-hostid, where netid identifies a network, and hostid
identifies a host on the network. The IP mask separates between the netid and hostid.

For example, if the IP address is 192.114.35.12 (11000000 01110010 00100011 00001100), and the IP mask is
255.255.255.0 (11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000), the netid is 192.114.35, and the hostid is 12.

An IP interface can only communicate with hosts that are on the same net (have the same netid). In the example
above, the interface can communicate only with hosts that have netid 192.114.35 (for 1 to 255).

If 3200T has a frame to send to a host that is not on the Ethernet IP netid or the serial IP netid, the frame sould
be sent to an intelligent device (usually a gateway) on the network. Such a device, known as a "default router",
will know how to send the frame over the internet. The default gateway should be a host on one of the 3200T
interface netids.

The 3200T cluster is managed as a single Network Element (NE) by the CeraView EMS.

The following figure illustrates a 3200T management model from an EMS/NMS point of view.

Each IDC calculates its own IP address, considering cascade shelf# and floor#:
IP = IPbase + 3 * shelf #+ floor # ,

where:

IPbase is dividable by 8 (i.e. = IPbase & 0xfffffff8),

shelf# = 0, which is the cascade master (the one with the protected carrier), or 1 for cascade slave,

floor# = 1, 2, or 3 (the number of the floor within the 3200T shelf).

In-band Management

In-band management of the 3200T link chain must be configured carefully due to a large number of public IP
address allocations. In addition, it should be noted that in-band management becomes a limiting factor for chain
length when only the Class C DCN is used.

The figure below illustrates the largest Class C in-band subnet (with CIDR = 26 bits, i.e. subnet mask
255.255.255.192).

The DCN shown in the figure makes use of the 192.168.1.64 in-band subnet. This subnet allows 62 nodes
192.168.1.65 - 192.168.1.126, and has a broadcast address of 192.168.1.127.

It is assumed that the 3200T at site A has a single GNE 1 assigned to one of the IDCs.

All three IDCs at site A have direct out-of-band IP connectivity with remote management applications
(CeraView, PolyView, Telnet). The remaining 3200T chain IP addresses are accessed via the GNE IDC.

Note that the Inband bytes run through the upper level of the cluster.

The Ethernet interface of every Network Element (NE) is assigned the CIDR=/29 subnet, i.e. subnet mask
255.255.255.248. This allows 6 elements to be communicated over the interface. These addresses can be fully
utilized when two 3200T shelves are cascaded for 7+1 group protection.

The figure above shows “back-to-back” connected 3200T shelves at the same sites: B, C, and D, for East/West
chaining. Two NE IDCs (NE 2 and NE 3), at the same site, are connected over a PPPoE link.

This scheme allows four links of up to 7+1 (eight 3200T shelves, as shown, or sixteen 3200T shelves cascaded
in pairs) chained through the same CeraView/PolyView management, when IP addresses are allocated as
described above.

Notes:

1. The CIDR=/29 subnet allows external element communication (such as a laptop connected to the site B
LAN) only if there are less than six IDCs operating on two cascaded 3200T shelves. The subnet is not
sufficient for three 3200T cascading shelves. Three cascaded shelves require CIDR=/28 nodes (subnet
mask 255.255.255.240). This reduces the available number of chained links to 50%.
2. High protocol timing constraints (SNMP/TFTP) are expected in 3200T link chains due to the large number
of hops (each East/West site adds two in-band routing hops), and a large number of managed IDC nodes.
The following slight optimization may be useful for a chain topology (but not for a ring):
One of the in-band NE management channels is configured as a Default GNE Direction, assuming the
channel leads to the nearest GNE under normal conditions. Then, in-band routing chooses this channel as a
first priority for every “in-band packet” generated internally, or received from the Ethernet interface.

To define IP Addresses:

1. In the main terminal program menu, select Configuration.

2. Select System configuration.

3. Select IDC configuration.

4. Select IDC Basic configuration.

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 2-6


5. Select IP.

6. Define the addresses as described above: element IP and basic IP of the units.

Important: After you set up IP addresses, restart the IDUs to activate them.

7. Repeat the steps above for the remaining IDCs in the 3200T IDU.

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 2-7


Setup Options in the Terminal Program
The main menu in the terminal setup program includes the following options:

Configuration (1) - the main setup section in which you can configure the IDC, the right and left drawers,
protection, SNMP management, in-band routing, and other such parameters.

System Status (2) - used to obtain information about the different software versions currently used in the
system.

Maintenance (3) - used to perform software upload, download, and reset.

Diagnostics (4) - used to perform loopbacks and obtain system information.

Setting the Local Tx Frequency Channel

If the Tx frequency was previously defined using the HyperTerminal, use the frequency window in CeraView
only to verify that the correct frequency was set.

Note that the concept of N+1 system configuration is to first configure all the carriers separately to work as a
stand alone system. After all the carriers are set up as an N+0 configuration, including the XPIC links, then the
protection type is configured.

1. Select Configuration, RFU, RFU Configuration, or click the RFU icon in the tool bar.

At the top of the window, the system displays Tx/Rx ranges, the gap between them, and the channel
bandwidth.

muted.

HSB 2+2 - levels one and three of the IDU are activated. Each level protects the other when the standby
IDU is muted. Each level operates in XPIC mode. External protection cables need to be connected between
levels one and three.

1+1 - the +1 algorithm is activated. The upper level includes two carriers, whereby the left one is protected.

2+1 - three separate carriers with one protected.

3+1 - four separate carriers with one protected.

4+1 - five separate carriers with one protected.

5+1 - cascade mode, six separate carriers with one protected.

6+1 - cascade mode, seven separate carriers with one protected.

7+1 - cascade mode, eight separate carriers with one protected.

8+1 - cascade mode, nine separate carriers with one protected.

9+1 - cascade mode, ten separate carriers with one protected.

3. Select Protection, H/W protection, H/W protection configuration.

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 2-12


The following window will appear if the protection type you selected was between 1+1 and 9+1.

H/W Protection Configuration Window

4. Select Protection Enabled.

5. Select Switch On Early Warning if you want the switch to occur when the system reaches an MSE of -28.

6. For Revertive Link, select the carrier that will be connected to the +1 modem. Your selection will be used
in cases where a switch occurs and then the system returns to normal operation.

Examples

Revertive = Extra Traffic


If a major alarm occurs at site A, a request is sent to site B to transmit through the Extra Traffic channel.
The switch that is performed is Hitless (up to 10 mS), and the Extra Traffic channel will no longer exist on
both sides by definition (generally, the system can protect up to two faults at different sides). The moment
the alarm is cleared, the +1 (Extra Traffic) modem will refer to the input from the +1 MUX.
Revertive = None
Each carrier MUX will receive two inputs: its own modem, and the +1 modem. The Extra Traffic channel
will not exist. Data to the MUX (for each of the defined carriers) will be received from its own modem
until the first hitless fault. When the fault is cleared, the MUX will receive data from two sources: the +1
modem, and its own modem, meaning the next fault in this channel will be errorless (if other carriers will
fail, the data will be hitless).
Revertive = Carrier#X
MUX number X will always receive two sources: the +1, and its own, unless there is a fault in another
carrier. If MUX number X receives two sources, and a fault occurs, the switch is errorless. In all the other
cases, the switch is hitless.

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 2-13


7. For Revertive Switch Timeout, specify the period (in seconds) after which the revertive mode will be
activated.

8. For High Priority Threshold, click the drop-down list and select the criteria upon which the system will
perform a switch to the channel you chose as high priority.
The options include: Baseband Loss of Frame, Baseband Excessive BER, Baseband Signal Degrade, and
Early Warning

9. In the priority table, designate the high priority channel(s). A high priority channel will be switched first
when the criteria chosen for the threshold is met, even if a major fault occurs in a different channel.
The Priority Level options include:
Normal - regular operation according to the N+1 mechanism
High Priority
Not Protected – stand-alone channel without protection

Site Acceptance Checklist Notes


The following notes provide important additional information about the Site Acceptance Checklist.

1. Antenna Mounting

Mounting pole is of sufficient height to clear local obstructions, such as parapets, window cleaning
gantries, and lift housings.

Mounting Pole is of sufficient height, and is safely positioned, so as not to cause a safety hazard. No
person should be able to walk in front of, or look directly into the path of the microwave radio beam.
Where possible, the pole should be away from the edge of the building.

Mounting pole is secure and perpendicular. A pole that is not perpendicular may cause problems
during antenna alignment.

Mounting pole is grounded as per site specifications. All operators and site owners have specific
requirements regarding the grounding of installations. As a minimum, typical requirements are such
that any metal structure must be connected to the existing lightning protection ground of the building.
Where it extends beyond the 45 degree cone of protection of existing lightning conductors, additional
lightning protectors should be installed.

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 3-5


All steelwork is Galvanized or Stainless Steel, as appropriate to prevent corrosion.

2. Antenna

Antenna is grounded as per site specifications. See the third point in the Antenna Mounting section
above.

Antenna sway braces are fitted and installed correctly, where applicable. Typically, for an antenna of
1.2 m or larger, an extra sway brace is fitted to the mounting frame of the antenna. This sway brace
should not be mounted to the same pole as the antenna, but should be installed directly back to the
tower or an alternative point.

Antenna Water Drain Plugs are fitted and removed, where appropriate. Some antennas have moisture
drain plugs installed at various points around the antenna. The purpose of these plugs is to allow any
moisture that forms on the inside of the antenna or radome to drip out and prevent a pool within the
antenna. Only the plugs at the bottom of the antenna, after installation, should be removed. All other
plugs should be left in position.

3. RFU (RF Unit)

The RFU is grounded as per installation instructions. See the third point in the Antenna Mounting
section above.

The RFU Polarization is as per link requirements and matches the polarization of the antenna.

4. Indoor Unit

The main traffic connections (STM-1 tributaries) are correctly terminated and crimped as per cable
and connector manufacturer instructions. All fiber optic patch leads should be routed carefully and
efficiently, using conduits to prevent damage to the cables.
All other user terminations are secure and correctly terminated.

All labeling is complete as per site requirements. Labeling is specific to each customer. At a site with
only one installation, labeling may be unnecessary. However, at sites with multiple installations,
correct and adequate labeling is essential for future maintenance operations.
Typical labeling requirements include:
Antenna labels - for link identity and bearing
RFU labels - for link identity, frequency, and polarization
Coax cable labels - for link identity, close to the RFU, IDU, and either end of any joint
IDU labels - for link identity

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 3-6


N+0 Commissioning Procedure
Scope
This section describes the recommended commissioning tests for a FibeAir 3200T radio link in an N+0
configuration.
The purpose of the commissioning tests is to verify correct and proper operation of the product.
The 3200T system can work with up to 10 separate carriers in a 10+0 configuration. The following steps
should be performed for each of the N carriers independently.

Commissioning Tests
The following tests should be performed on each installed link.

system operates accordingly.

N+1 Commissioning Procedure


Scope
This section describes the recommended commissioning tests for a FibeAir 3200T radio link in an N+1 and
Space Diversity (SD) or Frequency Diversity (FD) configuration.

The purpose of the commissioning tests is to verify correct and proper operation of the product.

The 3200T system can work with up to a 9+1 configuration (two systems in concatenation mode).

The +1 carrier protects the other N carriers, and in normal operation of the system (no errors or faults), carrys
extra traffic.

The first tests should be performed on all carriers, including the extra traffic channel, separately.

When testing protection using switching tests, there is a difference if a channel is a preferred channel
(errorless, no errors at switching time at all), or if it is a regular channel (hitless, errors are detected within 10
msec).

Commissioning Tests
The following tests should be performed on each installed link.

Link Verification

The following steps should be repeated for each of the N+1 RFUs.

“Radio” LED on the IDM front panel is green, indicating the radio link is up.

Received Signal Level (RSL) is up to +/- 4 dB from the expected (calculated) level at both ends of the
link.

Radio Bit Error Rate (BER) is 10E-11 or higher.

If working with ATPC, ATPC is operating as expected (RSL = reference level).

After connecting test equipment or end equipment to the line interfaces, all LEDs on the front panel of
the IDM are green.

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 3-8


Line Interfaces Test

155 Mbps Interface


Connect SDH/SONET/ATM test equipment to the 155 Mbps interfaces using splitters. Verify
error-free operation for at least 1 hour. Use physical loop between the splitters at the far end.

2 Mbps/1.5 Mbps Interface


Connect PDH test equipment to the E1/T1 interfaces of an ADM connected to the IDU using
splitters. Verify error-free operation for at least 1 hour. Use physical loop between the
splitters at the far end.

Switching Tests

regular channel supports hitless switching to the +1 channel.

155 Mbps Interface

Connect SDH/SONET/ATM test equipment to the 155 Mbps interfaces using splitters. Use physical
loop between the splitters at the far end. Verify that there are no alarms.

Perform the following switching tests from one IDM to the other, and verify the system switches
automatically.
- Power: power off the active IDM
- Radio: disconnect the coax cable of the active IDM
- Line: disconnect the 155 Mbps line input of the active IDM
- Management: force a switch using CeraView
For diversity configurations, verify that each receiver is receiving its own signal, and then mute the
active RFU. Verify that the receiver at the far end still receives from the diversity path. Verify that
there are no errors in the test equipment.

Interoperability Verification

Connect the customer end equipment to the line interfaces and verify correct operation.

Further interoperability tests should be performed in accordance with the specific requirements of the
connected end equipment.

Management Verification

Install CeraView element manager software on the PC and launch the program.

XPIC Commissioning Procedure


Scope
This section describes the recommended commissioning tests for a FibeAir 3200T radio link in an XPIC
Co-Channel-Dual-Polarization configuration.

The purpose of the commissioning tests is to verify correct and proper operation of the product.

Important! Since operation of the XPIC system depends on correct installation, make sure the guidelines for
XPIC system installation provided below are followed correctly.

The 3200T system can carry up to two XPIC links per IDU. The XPIC mode runs between drawers 1-2 and
4-5 in the IDU.

All tests described below should be performed separately for each XPIC pair in the IDU.

XPIC Installation Guidelines

Antenna and RFU Installation

1. Install the dual polarization antenna and point it in the direction of the other site.
2. Install the two RFUs on a rack, and mark them with V and H respectively.

IDU-RFU Cable Installation

1. Connect two cables between the RFUs and the drawers (IDMs). Note that the cable length difference
should not exceed 10 meters.
2. Mark the cables with V and H respectively, and make sure V is connected to the right drawer and H is
connected to the left drawer.
3. Mark the drawers respectively.

Antenna Alignment

1. Power up drawer V on both ends of the link and configure it to the desired frequency channel and
maximum power.
2. Align the antennas, one at a time, until expected RSL is achieved. Make sure achieved RSL is no
greater than +/-4 dB from the expected level.

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 3-10


Polarization Alignment

Polarization alignment is required to verify that the antenna feeds are adjusted, to ensure that the antenna
XPD (Cross Polarization Discrimination) is achieved.

Polarization adjustment should be done on one antenna only.

1. Power up drawer V on both ends of the link and record the RSL reading on one end.
2. Power off drawer V on that end, and power on drawer H.
3. Check the RSL obtained on this RFU on H pol, and compare it to the RSL obtained by the
RFU installed on the V pol.
4. Verify that the XPI (Cross Polarization Interference) is at least 25 dB
where:
XPI = RSLPOL − RSLXPOL
RSLPOL → Link RSL with thesamepolarization used at both sites.
RSLXPOL → Link RSL with orthogonalpolarizations used at both sites.
5. If the XPI is less than 25 dB, adjust the feed polarization by opening the polarization screw and
gently rotating the feed to minimize the RSLXPOL.
Note that polarization alignment is not always possible since the RSLXPOL may fall below the
sensitivity threshold of the RFU.
It is also recommended to try to maximize the XPI as much as possible, by aligning the polarization.

XPIC Commissioning Tests

Individual Link Verification

Before operating in XPIC configuration, each of the links (V and H) should be commissioned individually in
order to verify its proper operation.

1 Power up only drawer V at both ends and verify its frequency channel and Tx power configuration.
2 Verify that the RSL is no more than +/-4 dB from the expected level.
3 Run BER stability test on the link for at least 15 minutes to ensure error-free operation.
4 Power up only drawer H at both ends and verify its frequency channel and Tx power configuration.
5 Verify that the RSL is no more than +/-4 dB from the expected level.
6 Run BER stability test on the link for at least 15 minutes to ensure error-free operation.

XPIC Configuration Verification

1 Using the XPIC cable, connect the two RFUs at each end to the TNC connectors. Make sure
the cable is no longer than 3 meters.
2 Configure the drawers to work in XPIC mode.
3 Verify that the RSL at all four RFUs is no more than +/-4 dB from the expected level.
4 Verify that no alarms exist (if a 155 Mbps line is connected).

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 3-11


5 Run BER stability test on each of the 155 Mbps links for at least 1 hour to ensure error-free
operation.

XPIC Recovery Verification

In order to verify XPIC operation, simulate the faults described below.

1 Disconnect the IDU-RFU cable for each of the drawers (one at a time), and verify that the other
link is operating.
2 Disconnect the XPIC cable and check that the relevant alarms are generated.
3 Power down each of the drawers and verify that the other link is operating.
4 Swap the V and H cables and check that the relevant alarm is generated.
5 Mute and then un-mute one RFU at a time and verify that the other link is operating.

FibeAir® 3200T Installation Guide 3-12


FibeAir 3200T Commissioning Log
The Commissioning Log is an integral part of the commissioning procedure and should be filled in for each
installed link.

In an N+1 system, a commissioning log should be recorded for each of the five carriers (per IDU), including
the extra traffic channel.

The Commissioning Log gathers all relevant information regarding the installed link and contains a checklist
of all recommended commissioning tests.

Maintaining the Commissioning Log is important for tracking your installations, and to provide essential
data for Ceragon Networks.

Upon completing the Commissioning Log, send the log to Ceragon support center at support@ceragon.com.
