1.3.1 Indoor Unit (IU)

The locations of the front connectors of the DMR 4x2-38W are indicated in Figure 4. The placement of the 3 x 7 Euroconnectors on the 2 x 32 or 3x32 Euroconnectors is also shown (shaded areas). Figure 4 also provides the numbers of the figures where the interfaces are presented in more detail.

The service, auxiliary data channel and service telephone interfaces, and programmable interface are connected to connector PIon the Baseband Unit (BBU). The PI connector is a 3x32 Euroconnector. (See Figure 6).

The main channel interfaces are also located on the BBU, The interfaces are either located on 75 ohm 5MB connectors (Figure 7) or on a 2 x 32 Euroconnector (Figure 8),

The Service Terminal charging connector PI (3x7 Euro, Figure 5b) for recharging the batteries of the Service Terminal TC 21700 is located at the upper front edge of the Outdoor Radio Interface (ORI).

Alternative battery voltage interface P2 located at the upper front edge of the Outdoor Radio Interface (0 RI) can be used for the battery voltage supply of the Indoor Unit instead of using rack bus connector. The pin allocation of the connector is shown in Figure 5c.

The measurement point MP (see Figure 4) is used only temporarily for the duration of the servicing and testing.

The protection bus is connected to the rear of the radio equipment cartridge with the connectorized Protection bus cable (see Figure 16 on page 24 and Figure 17 on page 25).

The power supply and rack alarm interface (located at the upper rear edge of the cartridge) is connected with a flat cable to the cartridge bus connector when using a Power Supply Adapter Cartridge (PSA). (See the Operating Handbook/or the TM4-EMC Construction Practice.y

The baseband signals from the Outdoor Unit! to the Outdoor Unit (OU) are connected with coaxial cables from the front edge of the Outdoor Radio Interface (ORI). The N connector located at cable ends are connected to the grounding assembly of IU -OU cables located above the cartridge, see Figure Sa. The actual coaxial IU -OU cables leading to the Outdoor Unit are then connected to the connector interface. The supply voltage to the Outdoor Unit is conveyed over the IU -OU cables, unless the 24 V supply voltage is used, when an external DC supply voltage to the AUXBATT connector of the Outdoor Unit must be used (see subsection 1.3.2).

',.8 Service in terface

The operation of the DMR 4x2-38W is controI1ed with the Service Terminal TC 21700 via the service interface included in the Euroconnector PIon the Baseband Unit (see Figure 24). Via the interface, equipment state and alarm data can be read, controls and settings can be given, loops can be set etc. The traffic at the interface is serial-formatted. See the Service Terminal Operating Handbook and section 6 Operation with Service Terminal of this Operating Handbook.

Radio relay equipments may also be managed with the TMS Transmission Management System (See the Operating Handbook/or the TMS Transmission Management System).

The service interfaces can be connected into a bus at the equipment station and the service buses of the different stations can be further be connected into a service network bymeans of the data channel on each equipment (see Figure 25). All equipments connected to the bus or network can then be remotely controlled using the Service Terminal or TMS Transmission Management System (refer to the corresponding handbooks).

Service connector (Baseband Unit Euroconnector PI)

MI

Service Interface

(MIA, MOB, MOA, MOB)

Service interface for the Service Terminal or Transmission Management Computer (fMC). Via this interface, settings and controls are given to the equipment, and status, fault data and statistics are read. Bidirectional. Differential levels as per ccm V.II (EIA RS-422).

The interface is active only when the equipment is transmitting a signal. At other times, the output is at a high- impedance state, so the interface can be connected to a bus together with other corresponding interfaces, whereupon several equipments can be controlled from one point.

DI

Data Interface

(DIA DIB, DOA, DOB)

Data interface for transferring asynchronous serialformatted data as a separate channel along with the frame structure. Bidirectional, Differential levels as per CCnT V.11 (ErA RS-422).

Unlike the interface Ml, the data interface is always active; it is not intended to be a bus.

The interface Dr can be connected to the interface MI by using the data hybrid of the equipment.

Redundancy for the DMR 4x2 - 38\V Radio Relay Equipment can be provided either in cold standby operation (CSB) or twin -frequency use. In each case two radio relay equipments (Equipment A and Equipment B), Baseband Branching adapting the main channel interfaces of the equipment pair and cables to be connected between the Indoor Units of the equipments and the Baseband Branching are needed.

The overall dimensions of the Baseband Branching with Euroconnectors and that with 5MB connectors are the same.

The installation of the Baseband Branching is illustrated in Figure 26. The cover of the branching is first opened by unscrewing the two knurled - head screws. The branching is suspended by its mounting brackets to the seventh rack body hole as counted from the lower edge of the cartridge A. The Baseband Branching is then locked in place by tightening the locking bars with a screwdriver.

2.9.1 Baseband Branching, 8 x 2 Mbit/s, Euroconnectors

The 8 x2 Mbit/s Baseband BranchingTP 26020.11 is used forthe redundancy of the DMR 4x2-38\V Radio Relay Equipment equipped with Euroconnectors. This branching equipment covers the lower branching capacities 2 x 2 Mbit/s and 4 x 2 Mbit/s,

The cabling principle for the Baseband Branching equipped with Euroconnectors is illustrated in Figure 27. Preassembled cables (BBr cables TX 26282.92) to be connected between the radio relay equipments and Baseband Branching are routed from the Baseband Unit Euroconnector P3 of each radio relay equipment through the grounding assembly (also grounding the cable sheaths) of data cables located below the TM4- EMC cartridge on each equipment to the cable space of the rack. From the cable space the cables are routed to the connectors of the Baseband Branching. The cables are grounded through the grounding assembly of the Baseband Branching.

Connection to the 2·x 32 - pole Euroconnector P3 on the Baseband Unit is im plemented e.g. with 2 x 7 -pole Euroconnectors of the four interface cables included in the above cable set. Each Euroconnector contains interfaces for two main channels illustrated in Figure 28.

It should be noted in the cabling that the pin allocation of the main channeI interfaces on the Baseband Unit Euroconnector P3 of the equipment A differs from the corresponding pin allocation on the connector P2 of the Baseband Branching.

The cabling of2 Mbit/s main channel signals from and to the Euroconnector PIon the Baseband Branching is described in subsection 2.10.2.

2.10 Cabling of main channel interfaces

In single use, the cables of the 2 Mbit/s main channel signals from and to the radio relay equipment are directly connected to the Euroconnector P3 on the Baseband. Unit TC 26000. ** (see Figure 32) and in redundant use to the Euroconnector PIon the Baseband Branching TP 26020.11 (see Figure 34).

In should be noted by the cabling that the cabling direction and pin allocation on the Baseband Unit Euroconnector P3 and on the Baseband Branching Euroconnector PI differ from each other (see Figure 32 and 35). The main channel signal cabling implemented on the Baseband Unit of a radio relay equipment in single use can, however, be implemented as such when the equipment is provided with redundant equipment, if approx. 300 mm extra cable length is left for the main channel cables to an appropriate location as regards the (later) cabling.

3 x 7 -pole Euroconnectors, delivered with the Connector Set TX 26285.12, are used for the main channel cabling. Two main channel interfaces are connected to each Euroconnector when the capacity is 8 x 2 Mbit/s. However, when thecapacityis4x2 Mbit/s (basic application) only one main channel interface per connector is available.

2.10.1 Baseband Unit, Euroconnectors

The pin location of the Baseband Unit Euroconnector P3 for four main channel interfaces is illustrated in Figure 32. 3 x 7 - pole Euroconnectors used for the cabling are placed on the Baseband Unit Euroconnector P3 so that the connector guides fit to the grooves of the connector frame.

The cabling order depends on the interface type that is whether the interface is balanced or unbalanced. Figure 33 illustrates how the main channel interfaces connected to 3 x 7 -pole Euroconnectors are cabled when the interface is balanced and when the interface is unbalanced.

Table 2 presents an example cabling of a balanced and unbalanced interface, when Nokia KLVMAAM 2 x (2 x 0.4 + 0.4) cable is used.

It should be noted by the cabling that the cabling of the Baseband Unit Euroconnector P3 (including the main channel interfaces) with 3 x 7 - pole Euroconnectors is to be implemented so that the cables are first routed to the grounding assembly of data cables below the cartridge, where the cable sheaths are grounded and the cables are then routed to the cabling space of the rack.

3.3 Installing the support of the Alignment Unit onto the tube

(Installation phase B: Attaching the support and clamps onto the tube)

The mounting of the OU Alignment Unit support onto the tube presented in the following is implemented with the Alignment Unit T38070.**. Required mounting accessories, parts list and Installation instructions T3807000lRX (also enclosed in this description) are delivered with the Alignment Unit.

The parts numbers, given in brackets in the following example lnstallation of the AJignment Unit support, refer to the parts numbering in the Installation instructions T38070001RX.

Installing the Alignment Unit in general

The Alignment Unit T38070.01 of the Outdoor Unit is delivered as an installation set, in which the connector case of the Alignment Unit is assembled into a subassembly and other parts are separate. This allows for that the different units of the Outdoor Unit can be installed in desired work order.

NOTE!

The installation side must be chosen} i.e. which connector case side will locate closer to the tube, before attaching the Alignment Unit support.

Installation example (see Installation instructions T3807001RX):

1. Attach the support (4) to a vertical tube using two clamps (5). The Clamps are attached with the mounting accessories included in the application-specific mounting kit (bolts for roof and wall installations / threaded rods, washers and nuts for the D60 ... 140 mm tube installations). The bolts / nuts are tightened with a 17 mm spanner.

2. Attach two clamps (5) below the support (4) using applicationspecific mounting accessories (see item 1 above).

3. A 27 mm eye bolt (9) is screwed to the threaded hole located in the middle of the clamp (5) attached below the support (4). A

19 mm eye bolt (8) is screwed to the threaded hole located below the support (4).

4. Adjust the eye bolts to level with each other so that the Threaded rod (10) used for vertical alignment easily slides through the holes in the eye bolts.

5. Screw two (adjusting) hex nuts (16) into the middle of the threaded rod (10) next to each other.

3.4.1 Polarization

Usually, only vertical polarization is used in the frequency range 38 GHz to reduce the reflections caused by buildings and rain attenuation (elec~ tric field E and narrow side of the waveguide in vertical direction, see Figure 43, "V").

However, it is also possible to use the antenna in horizontal polarization (the narrow side of the waveguide in horizontal direction. see Figure 43, "B"). With the horizontal polarization the rain attenuation in light rain is approx. 1 dB/km higher than with the vertical polarization (see Nokia's Route Design for Radio Links above 17 GHz).

Depending on the antenna type the polarization change over is implemented either by turning the whole antenna by 900 or by turning the feeder. Itis recommended to rotate the feeder only when the antenna is detached from the Alignment Unit.

The antenna is mounted to the Radio Section with flexible and rotating waveguide, which is to be rotated by 900, so that the waveguide of the antenna and the flexible waveguide will be in a parallel direction. The adjustment ofthe waveguide to the antenna flange fails, if the waveguides cross each other.

If there are holes for water-discharge in the antenna, the holes should be located downwards.

3.7 Cabling

(Installation phase F: Connecting the cables to the Radio Section)

The cabling is recommended to be done before installing the Radio Section. Some instructions for preparing the cabling and for determining the lenght of the cables, are given in the following. Cables can be connected to the Radio Section only after performing the other installation phases.

3.7.1 Grounding the Outdoor Unit (OU)

The Radio Section of the Outdoor Unit must always be connected to an external grounding point (grounding electrode of the tower or other similar grounding electrode).

The grounding cable is routed via the cable clamp rubber to the Alignment Unit connector case and the cable end is equipped with M6 cable shoe (included in the Connector Set).

The length of the grounding cable from the opening of the cable shoe to the lower edge of the connector case (inside) should be approx. 230 mm.

The cable shoe of the grounding cable is attached with a M6 screw to the threaded hole on the bottom of the Radio Section after the Radio Section has been installed.

The grounding of the Radio Section is illustrated in Figure 45 below.

A quick release clamp is used for the joint between the OU Radio Section and the Antenna (see Figure 46). The mounting of the quick release clamp in vertical polarization is illustrated in the Installation instructions E10007509RX enclosed in this description.

1. When the Radio Section is not connected to the Antenna, the flange and tube of the flexible waveguide is attached to the transport support with a quick release clamp for protection.

2. Unscrew the hex head screw with the 5 mm Allen key to the point that you can pull out the quick release clamp and flange from the transport support.

3. Vertical polarization (V), see Installation instructions E10007509RX: Hold the waveguide and quick release clamp so that the flange stays in the connector guide pins. Slide the quick release clamp to the antenna flange from the left- hand side and direct the flange of the antenna and quick release clamp. Check the direction also from the flange edges. The wide side of the antenna waveguide and flexible waveguide must be parallel to each other (see Figure 43 on page 63).

Horizontal polarization (H): Hold the waveguide and quick, release clamp so that the flange stays in the connector guide pins. Slide the quick release clamp to the antenna flange from below and direct the flanges with the connector guides. Check the direction also from the flange edges. The wide side of the antenna waveguide and flexible waveguide must be parallel to each other (see Figure 43 on page 63).

4. Tighten the hex head screw of the quick release clamp.

I

NOTE!

The following measures are performed with the Nokia Service Terrnlnal TC 21700. If not familiar with the operation of the Service Terminal, the user is recommended to study subsection 2.3 of this description and the Service Terminal Operating Handbook.

2.1 Before switching power to the radio relay equipment

Before the commissioning measures the equipment should be installed in accordance with the section 4 Installation of this Operating Handbook and the coarse alignment of antenna should be done.

I

Before switching power to the radio relay equipment, it should be checked that the equipment has been set to the correct radio channel. This should be done to avoid transmission on wrong channel and thus not to interfere with other radio connections.

If the user is not sure of proper channel allocation, the following measures dependant on the Outdoor Unit voltage supply should be carried out:

A) Outdoor Unit supply voltage over IU -OU cables

Before the power is switched to the radio relay equipment, at least one of the two coaxial cables leading from the Indoor Unit (IU) to the Outdoor Unit (OU) (IU-OU cables) must be disconnected. This prevents the Outdoor Unit from starting, as the voltage supply to the Outdoor Unit is carried in the centre conductors of the coaxial cables.

When the cable(s) is disconnected, the ON/OFF switch in the Outdoor Radio Interface (OR!) unit of the Indoor Unit is switched to its upper position (ON). Now only the Indoor Unit is started.

B) Supply voltage to the Outdoor Unit from an external voltage supply via the AUXBATI connector

If an external voltage supply via the AUXBATT connector is used as the supply voltage for the Outdoor Unit, the supply voltage can be connected to the Outdoor Unit immediately after the installation provided that the IU - OU cables between the Indoor and Outdoor Unit have been disconnected. For example, the disconnection of IU -OU cables from the Indoor Unit prevents the start-up of the microwave oscillator of the Indoor Unit when the power is switched on in the Indoor Unit.

Operation 4,8.1993

II Paze 7

After switching the power on, the Baseband Unit performs a self-test, during which the service LEDs of the Baseband Unit blink. The red and yellow LED remain lit, since the transmission power is switched off. In addition, the LEDs may remain lit, as there is no traffic on the line. The green LED on the Baseband Unit is lit, when the unit is accessed by the Service Terminal.

It is recommended to check the transmit frequency with the Service Terminal (menu command TOP 6,7,8,1,0 RET) immediately after the power has been switched on and reset the frequency to desired level when necessary (see chapter 3 Using the Service Terminal and 5 Commissioning settings of this description).

It is also advisable to check the alarms that may be displayed on the Service Terminal Fault display (with the Service Terminal menu command TOP 1 RET) and take the appropriate measures when necessary.

After it has been checked that the transmit frequencies are correct and the coarse alignment ofthe antenna has been done in accordance with the section 4 Installation of this Operating Handbook, the setting Emergency Tx and Rx power OFF can be removed with the Service Terminal menu command TOP 6,7,8,2) 1 RET, when the start-up of the equipment depends on other settings. The following text is then displayed on the Service Terminal: done.

The transmission power is switched on only after the microwave oscillator has hea ted up. The heating of the oscillator is controlled by a thermostat and before reaching the appropriate operational temperature, an alarm is generated, which is displayed on the Service Terminal (TOP 1 RET) as follows:

oti Wait, MW osc: - temperature alarm

In a room temperature the heat-up takes approx. 2 minutes and in the temperature of -40°C less than 20 minutes after the power has been switched to the Outdoor Unit.

The transmitter tries the start-up and phase-locking for several times. If the start-up is not successful, the equipment recognizes the situation as a fault event and generates an alarm:

Txlkx power:

- equipment fault

After the alarm the start-up can still be tried with the Service Terminal menu command TOP 5,7,4,9 RET, Forced start.

3 USING THE SERVICE TERMINAL

3.1 Structure

The Service Terminal (TC 21700) is a hand - held device equipped with a 4 x 20 character display and a 24-key keyboard. The keys are used to enter numerical data and move through the Service Terminal menus or through the menu structure of the equipment connected to the Service Terminal. The menus and e.g. the statistics are displayed on tbe Service Terminal. The Service Terminal has a non-locking power switch (ONI OFF) and a connector for the Service terminal interface cable

(see Figure 2).

'l.2 Major keys

The upper key functions (blue printing) are executed by first pressing the INV key and thatafter by pressing the selected key.

For example, the pressing of INV and AUTO key just after a command leads to a continuous command execution. This is useful when monitoring certain voltages, e.g. the AGC voltage in antenna alignment.

INV function can be cancelled by pressing INV again. INV state is indicated on the display by the A character.

EJ

Command terminator key. Pressed to end the selected command.

For setting the Service Terminal operating mode. The most important operating mode is MODE 1 RET. In this operating mode the functions of the accessed equipment are controlled. The other operating modes are for controlling the Service Terminal's own functions (see the Service Terminal Operating Handbook).

2) Items 1. .. 3 on the main menu are carried out directly, while items 4 ... 11 lead to submenu leveL In the example shown in Figure 4 the selection 5 RET on the main menu level leads to the submenu level of the function Controls (temporary), which in accordance with Figure 4 leads to next submenu level according to user's selections (in Figure 4 illustrated with continuous thick line) until the desired function has been performed.

For a complete presentation of the menu structure and associated functions, see the section 6 Operation with Service Terminal of this Operating Handbook. Each description of a function includes the Service Terminal menu string through which the function can be accessed from the main menu level. In the example given in Figure 4 it is illustrated how the Rx baseband switch can be force-controlled on by entering the menu string TOP 5,7,3,5 RET on the Service Terminal main menu level (dotted line in Figure 4).

The previous menu level can be accessed by pressing the UP key (dashed line in Figure 4).

The main menu can be accessed from each menu level by pressing the TOP key (indicated with dotted +dashed line in Figure 4). It is recommended to press the TOP key before entering a menu string described in the alternative 2) above to ensure that the menu command is performed from the main menu level.

The individual Service Terminal commands are presented in this description as strings of key strokes beginning from the main menu level. When operating in the submenus of the same key stroke group, it is not necessary to go through the main menu. It is also possible to jump to the next or previous menu in the menu structure as indicated in Figure 4.

3.6 Setting the baud rate and address

The connection and communication between the radio relay equipment and Service Terminal can be established provided that the baud rate of the Service Terminal correspond to the baud rate of the equipment.

If the user does not know the baud rate of the equipment and Service Terminal, a direct connection to the selected equipment can easily be established by pressing the Service Terminal key OBJ leading to the mode Select object. The option 7 Direct connection is selected from the displayed menu by pressing the character string: OBJ 7 RET. The Service Terminal then sets its baud rate to correspond to the baud rate of the equipment.

When the radio relay equipment is connected to the TMS bus with other equipments, an individual address is provided for the radio relay equipment.

In direct connection the user does not need to know the individual address of the target equipment, because the general address 4095 common to all equipments can be used in the Service Terminal. The common address 4095 must not be used when the radio relay equipment is connected to the TMS bus.

When the equipment is connected to the TMS bus, a connection to the equipment should be established through its individual address (OBJ 2 RET). If the user does not know the address, it can be checked with the Service Terminal menu command TOP 6,1,2,0 RET.

The setting of baud rate and address are described later in this description and in more detail in the section 6 Operation with Service Terminal of this Operating Handbook and in the Service Terminal Operating Handbook.

This menu applies to all protected functions in the DMR 4x2.-38W. Option 0 (TOP 10,4,2,0 RET) shows the current protection state. Option 1 (TOP 10,4,2,1 RET) cancels the protection of equipment functions, option 2 (TOP 10,4,2,2 RET) causes the password to be required in connection with the protected functions, and option 3 (TOP 10,4,2,3 RET) causes the local PIN to be required for the protected functions.

Verifications

Inadvertent use of some functions, mainly a few resetting functions. has been prevented by setting a verification for the function in addition to the above protections: the equipment software requires the operator to issue the command for the function (the last command in the menu chain) once more before the command will be executed.

Alarms for settings

In a redundant equipment pair, the settings listed below must be the same in both equipments, If they are not, the equipment acting as the master will generate a setting alarm. The settings are made separately for each equipment with the Service Terminal. The settings concerned are listed in the following as menu strings beginning at the main menu level:

If the frequency setting does not correspond to the frequency set for the radio hop, the frequency setting must be reproduced. The frequency setting is performed with the Service Terminal menu command TOP 6,7,8,1 r 1 RET The command displays the following setting display, the second line of which indicates the frequency band in use:

Tx frequency? 37618000 ... 37898000

The prompt is responded by entering the Tx frequency of the radio relay equipment (the frequency grid of the synthesizer within the frequency range is divided into 1.75 MHz steps beginning from the lowest frequency). For example, by entering 37863000 RET, the frequency is set to 37863000 kHz.

If the given frequency is not in the frequency grid, the following message is displayed on the Service Terminal: Not in grid.

The receive direction frequency (Rx) is automatically set based on the transmit frequency.

If the frequency received by measuring does not correspond to the set frequency, the frequency must be adjusted. (The adjusting is described in chapter 7 Maintenance, in subsection 7.3 Adjusting the radio frequency. Frequency stability is described in detail in chapter 6 Commissioning measurements, in subsection 6.3.

4.4 Antenna alignment

The coarse antenna alignment is performed in accordance with the instructions given in the section 4 Installation of this Operating Handbook. This chapter deals with the fine alignment of the antenna.

After checking the frequency, the antenna is aligned by using the AGC voltage proportional to the input level. The antenna alignment requires that the equipment at the other end of the radio hop is transmitting a signa1. From the AGC connector (AGCMON) (see Figure 7) on the Outdoor Unit it is possible to measure a current (0 ... 100 IJA) proportional to the AGC voltage. This current can be measured with a current meter or directly as a voltage (0 ... 8 V/80 kohm), for example 3.075 V.

The antenna alignment can also be performed by measuring the input level with the Service Terminal. The input level measurement is done with the Service Terminal menu command TOP 7,2 fNV AUTO.

4.5 Setting the transmit power

The DMR 4x3-38W includes an attenuator, with which the transmit power can be attenuated within 0 .. .30 dB.

The transmit power is recommended to be set before the Outdoor Unit (OU) is installed on a tower, onto a wall or other difficult installation location.

The following accessories are required for setting the transmit power: 38 GHz power meter (unless the coarse scale of the attenuator is relied on), flat - head screwdriver and Allen key required for opening the case of the Radio Section.

The following order is applied when setting the transmit power:

1. Switch off the power from the equipment and open the case of the OU Radio Section. Connect the IU-OU cables between the Indoor and Outdoor Unit and connect the 38 GHz power meter instead the antenna.

2. Unscrew the knurled - head screws holding the upper part of the Synthesizer and turn the Synthesizer downwards. The adjusting screw of the attenuator of the Microwave Unit is now exposed (Figure 8).

3. Switch on power to the equipment and wait until the Microwave U nit starts up.

4.9.3 Connecting a main channel interface to the radio frame channel

When an equipped main channel interface is to be connected to a radio frame channel, the main channel interface is first selected with the Service Terminal menu command TOP 6,7,4,3, 1 RET. The Service Terminal now prompts for the number of the main channel interface to be connected:

MAINI? (1 ..... 16):

Note! With 4 x 2 Mbit/s capacity only main channel interfaces MAINl 1 .. .4 are in use

The prompt is responded with the number of the main channel interface to be connected. For example, the main channel interface 3 is connected by entering 3 RET. The Service Terminal now prompts for the number of the rad io frame channel to which the selected main channel interface is to be connected:

Radio frame channel? (1...16):

Note! With 4 X 2 Mbit/s capacity only channels L.4 are in use

The prompt is responded with the number of the radio frame channel to be selected. For example, the main channel interface 3 is connected to the radio frame channel 3 by entering 3 RET. The following response to the command is displayed on the Service Terminal: done. The setting can be checked with the Service Terminal menu command TOP 6,7,4,3,0 RET (Display).

4.10 Cross-connection of channels

With the built-in cross-connection capability of the radio relay equipment the connection of each main channel interface to different radio frame channel can be performed with the Service Terminal,

In practice, the setting is similar to the procedure described in subsection 4.9.3 .. The difference lies within that the number of the main channel interfaces and radio frame channels may change. For example. main channel interface 1 can be connected to the radio frame channel 2, main channel interface 2 to radio frame channel 4 etc.

With the 4 x 2 Mbit/s capacity only main channel interfaces (:tvWNI) 1 ... .4 are available. This means that any of the main channel interfaces 1 .. .4 can be connected to any of the radio frame channels L.4.

If the selected radio frame channel is already reserved for another use, the channel must be removed according to instructions given in subsection 4.9.2.

5.5 Link chain alarm

When the inputs 3 (PI30) and outputs 3 (PI3I) of the programmabJe interfaces of the equipments in the link chain are set into channel use with the Service Terminal menu command TOP 6,7,6,3,1,3 RET, Link chain alarm, the generated channel is used to convey the link chain alarm. The transmission of a link chain alarm over a repeater station requires jumper settings and intermediate cabling similar to those required for the actual channel use presented in subsection 5.4.

The link chain alarm is activated in the radio relay equipment when:

o a far- end alarm is received

o input 3 (PI3I) is active

When there is an alarm in the equipment (not link chain alarm), the alarm data is conveyed to the far end by adding the state of the input 3 (PI3I) to the equipment alarm. In addition, the data on the active alarm is conveyed to the output 3 (PBO) by adding the equipment alarm to the link chain alarm channel received from the far end.

Alarm data can thus be conveyed in the link chain to a manned station, in which the link chain alarm has been set to activate an A +S or B+S alarm. These alarms in turn switch on the service LED and rack alarm lamp for visual indication of the fault in the link chain.

The link chain alarm can be set to activate any of the following alarms:

A+S, B+S or S alarm.

Example (Figure 13): the outputs 3 and inputs 3 of the equipments in the link chain are interconnected and the link chain alarm is conveyed on the generated channel. If there is a fault generating an alarm in the equipment 3, the fault will also be indicated as link chain alarms in the equipments 1,2 and 4. Without the link chain alarm orTMS the terminal station A (equipment 1) or B (equipment 4) would receive no error message of such a fault.

6.2.1 Measuring the fading margin with the Service Terminal

The fading margin of a radio hop can be measured by using the Service Terminal TC 21700. The fading margin is measured as follows:

The Service Terminal is connected according to Figure 2 (see page 9) to the upper pin of the Euroconnector PIon the Baseband Unit of the Indoor Unit (upper pin strip of the connector, pins a l, bland cl remain unconnected). The equipment is accessed by the Service Terminal.

Enter the menu command TOP 7,2 RET at the main menu level of the Service Terminal. The Service Terminal now shows the input level (dBm) of the receiver at the antenna connector. The fading margin is received by subtracting the receiver threshold from the input level value of the receiver.

The guaranteed threshold value for the radio relay equipment is given in the section 2 Technical specifications of this Operating Handbook. In addition, the documents delivered with the equipment include the measured equipment-specific threshold value.

It is advisable to compare the measured fading margin with the value calculated for the hop to ensure correct antenna alignment and hop clarity.

The accuracy of the input level is typically better than ::t 5 dBm.

6.2.2 Measuring the fading margin with an adjustable attenuator

The antenna line of the transmitting radio relay equipment can be equipped with an adjustable attenuatorplaced between the flexible waveguide and antenna. The attenuator can be used in the following two ways (see Figure 14):

o The antenna line of the receiver is attenuated (1). when the operation of the equipment at each hop end can be checked in the receive direction.

o The far-end transmitter is attenuated (2), when also the interference over the hop can be detected.

Figure 14 illustrates the measurement procedure for the transmission direction from the station A to the station B. If the the Service Terminal displaying the error ratio is at the receiving station (B), the error ratio is obtained directly from the processor.

If the Service Terminal displaying the error ratio is at the transmitting station (A), the error ratio data measured at the station B passes over the

6.3 Checking the frequency stability

The radio relay equipment has a specified frequency stability which is guaranteed after six months of operation. The operator may monitor the change in the frequency, e.g. once a year. The measurement results should then be recorded for future reference.

The frequency stability is checked by measuring the 3rd harmonic frequency (3 x crystal frequency) of the reference frequency of the Synthesizer. The SYNMON measurement point (BNC connector, socket-type) is located on the bottom surface of the Outdoor Unit Radio Section (see Figure 16 on page 55). The measurement point is accessed by opening the connector case of the Alignment unit.

The reference frequency of the Synthesizer is approx. 120 MHz and is frequency range specific according to the following table:
