The crossed-out waste bin stuck on the product (or on its accessories) means that the
product belongs to the family of electrical and electronic equipment.
In this respect, the European regulations ask you to dispose of it selectively:
x At sales points in the event of the purchase of similar equipment.
x At the collection points made available to you locally (drop-off centre, selective
collection, etc.).
In this way you can participate in the re-use and upgrading of WEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment), which can have an effect on the environment and human health.

As a trade-off, changing the output power needs some time. Therefore, the optimized working of ACM with

ACM Adaptive TX power: Also, the ETSI standard specifies that the applicable ETSI class in ACM mode must be supported by all the

When changing profile, applied transmit power will be equal to the configured transmit power plus a power
increase corresponding to the difference of maximum transmit power between maximum modulation and
current modulation. This power increase depends on the ODU type and radio frequency used.
For example, with 15GHz ODU H, if the maximum profile has a modulation scheme 256QAM, and the
configured transmit power is 17dBm, the current transmit powers in the different modulations will be as
follows:
256QAM: 17 dBm
128QAM: 18 dBm
64QAM: 18 dBm
32QAM: 23 dBm
16QAM: 23 dBm
QPSK: 26 dBm
Note that the transmit power displayed on the Pilot software is always the one configured for the maximum
modulation, even if current modulation is below that.
The maximum transmit power for each modulation, ODU type, and radio frequency is available in the
performances sheets.
This strategy ensures that:
- system can face extremely fast fading events in an optimized way, making it very robust regarding any
radio phenomenon ACM mode (1+1 protection):
- applicable ETSI class (up to class 6B) allows the customer to comply with all requirements of local
radio regulators and make it easier to get radio licenses As 1+1 configuration is generally associated with non symmetrical couplers, the receive signal level of the
As a trade-off, the max output power is limited to this offered by the highest modulation and remains the same standby receiver is lower than the main receiver. So, in case of ACM, two strategies are available: maximum

In 1+1 configuration, the profile to be used by the remote transmitter(s) is decided by the local equipment
according to the quality of its two received signals.
When enabled, the max output power of the radio transmitter is adapted depending on the current modulation
scheme so that it always offers the highest reachable output power. - Max throughput mode:
Under channel degradation, the ACM profile is changed down as soon as a predefined threshold is crossed. The highest profile between this allowed by the Master modem and this allowed by the Slave modem is used.
Then the output power is improved up. Therefore, if the channel quality of the Master is degraded whereas the Slave one is still good, the system

possible when its shaping allows it. (See below, shaping of very high priority)
The High Priority, Normal Priority, Low Priority queues are of type WRR (Weighted Round Robin). 2.5 - MAC FILTERING
The principle is that the emptying of these queues is done in turn, considering each queue weight. The
weight defines the bandwidth ratio to a given queue can take on the bandwidth available to all WRR
The Switch can drop frames according to their source or destination MAC address (black list, maximum

Priority queues. For example if all WRR queues are fully loaded and that the available bandwidth for
all WRR queues is 100, the resulting bandwidth will be: The MAC addresses are independently defined for each GE.
TC2: 100 x 16 / (16 + 8 + 4) = 57.1
TC1: 100 x 8 / (16 + 8 + 4) = 28.6 2.6 - COUNTERS
TC0: 100 x 4 / (16 + 8 + 4) = 14.3
The Switch can read the statistics counters for the data passing through each port; they are classified as
transmission/reception and with/without errors and can be reset for all ports at the same time.
2.4.4.4.3 - Control of flows rate (policing)
Probes can also be defined on each classification flow, to count frame under and above the CIR limit
Drop (green and yellow frames).
The Very High Priority queue does not accept yellow frames. If a yellow frame is classified in this
queue, the frame will be dropped automatically (even if the queue is empty).
The other queues can accept both yellow and green frames. Green frames are always accepted.
Yellow frames are queued only if the destination queue is empty enough. Internally there is a
queue level threshold. If the queue level is under the threshold, yellow frames are accepted. If the
queue level is above the threshold, yellow frames are not queued (they are dropped).
In the end, the result will be that when a given TC is under congestion, yellow frames will be
dropped, and green frames will pass. When there is no congestion, all frames will pass.
Thus the green frames (coming from streams that respect their CIR) will not be dropped.
PIR
A rate higher than the CIR is allowed for flows which are not classified in the Very High Priority.
The possible maximum rate PIR (Peak Information Rate) of a flow is equal to the bandwidth of the
destination port.
In fixed modulation mode, the total CIR available is equal to the available Ethernet bandwidth on the
destination port. For GE port, the maximum CIR is equal to the PIR, which is the port bandwidth
(configured or negotiated). For radio port, if the radio capacity is in fixed modulation mode, the CIR is
also equal to the PIR, which is the available Ethernet bandwidth on the link (depending on the
configuration). For radio port if the radio capacity is in ACM mode the PIR is the bandwidth of the
highest profile, and the CIR is equal to the bandwidth of the minimum profile.

If the integrated antenna has a rectangular waveguide interface (6 GHz, 11 GHz, 13 GHz,
15 GHz, 18 GHz, 23 GHz or 26 GHz), then the choice of polarization depends on the antenna
source position. Note that in this case, the large side of the waveguides, antenna side, and the
ODU must coincide.
For vertical polarization, the large side of the waveguide must be in horizontal position. ODU side,
the arrow at the back of the box must be in vertical position.
For horizontal polarization, the large side of the waveguide must be in vertical position and the

Antenna alignment is performed with both terminals operating, in normal weather conditions. The Bad alignment
received signal level (RSL) can be checked using the voltage available on the ODU BNC
connector. Figure 4.2 - Antenna alignment
A typical curve of RSL voltage against RSL at ODU input is given below. The RSL voltage is
directly proportional to the RSL expressed in dBm. The expected RSL was determined during the link budget calculation. This level depends on the
power of the remote terminal, the frequency, the antennas gain and the hop length.
RSL voltage
Antenna alignment is carried out on each antenna using the following procedure:
5V 1- Check that the remote terminal transmitter is on, with the planned parameters (frequency,
power, speed, modulation). Check that the ATCP is off and that the remote terminal power is
4.5 V
such that the RSL does not exceed 20 dBm.
4V 2- Remove the cap on the ODU BNC connector and connect a voltmeter.
3- Slowly rotate the antenna in the azimuth direction (horizontal) and find the maximum voltage.
If the voltage is around 4.5 V, reduce the remote transmit power to avoid saturation.
3V
4- Slowly rotate the antenna in the elevation direction (vertical) and find the maximum voltage.
Record the measured voltage.
5- When the maximum voltage has been found, tighten all the bolts. Check that the voltage has
2V not changed after tightening. Replace the protective cap on the BNC connector.
6- Compare the RSL obtained with the expected RSL. If the difference between the two values
exceeds 5 dB, readjust antenna alignment and polarization setting and check that there are
no obstacles on the radio path.

In 1+0 and 1+1 configuration, the typical screens are as follows:
Figure 4.1 - SLF-H ODU RSL voltage
Note: RSL is measured at ODU antenna port. For 1+1 configurations involving a coupler, the
coupler losses must be taken into account to determine the RSL at antenna access.
Optimum alignment is achieved when main antenna lobe is aligned with the remote antenna.
During alignment, it is important to distinguish between the main lobe and the side lobes by
rotating the antenna around the maximum RSL value. Note that there is around 25 dB difference
between side lobes and main lobes (i.e. about 1.5 V on the RSL voltage).
Good alignment Receive signal levels should be similar on both ends of the link (with the same transmit power).

The same procedure is used to test the Wayside port and the main Gigabit Ethernet ports.
A 10/100BaseT Ethernet tester is required to perform this test. As when testing the GE ports, make a
physical loopback on the remote terminal RJ45 access by connecting pins 1 and 3 together and 2 and

The test consists in checking that the transmission has no losses on this access at the specified
throughput.

SLF-H includes 3 fully programmable relay outputs. Internal or external alarms can be assigned to
each relay.
If alarm relays and/or external alarm inputs are used on the site, the tests described below must be
carried out to check correct operation.
These tests must be carried out on each terminal. Before starting the tests, check that no faults are
displayed by the equipment.
It is not possible to simulate all possible alarms without opening the equipment: for example,
simulating a Tx frequency alarm would require opening the ODU and disturbing the transmission
synthesizer phase loop.
However some alarms can be simulated simply, without having to carry out any operations on the
equipment.

SLF-H can be used to transmit Ethernet frames simultaneously or not with 2 Mbit/s tributaries.
Once the link is established, the configuration must be finalized via the Pilot, still in "Super User"
mode. The following parameters must still be entered: The principle for transmission of Ethernet frames and the specific functions that can be associated
with them are described in 2. It is strongly recommended to read this chapter before using the
advanced Ethernet configuration capabilities.

each frame is composed of the L2 frame, plus a preamble, and a minimum silence period must be
5.1 - ENTERING SITE NAMES ensured between two frames (IFG, Inter Frame Gap). These additional fields represent 20 bytes.
The bandwidth used for port speed is L1 bandwidth (10M, 100M, or 1000M). For a given frame size,
Enter the site names of the two terminals in "Site Name". the L2 corresponding bandwidth can be computed this way:
L2band = L1band * (frame size) / (frame size + 20)
Since IFG and preamble are remote by line interfaces, switch component only deal with L2
bandwidth. In this document and in the Pilot software, each bandwidth, unless specified, correspond
to a L2 bandwidth.
4 classes of service are available on each port. Very High priority is the SP (Strict priority) class,
High priority is the WRR (Weighted round robin) 16 class, Normal priority is the WRR 8 class, and
Low priority is WRR 4 class.
The first step in configuring Ethernet is to setup Ethernet port. The port configuration window can be
found in the Pilot menu here:
Configuration->Gigabit Ethernet->Ethernet port configuration->local/remote
Click at the bottom left of the Pilot main screen to display the following screen:

By applying the automatic value on a port, the equipment ensures that in any case, the QOS will be
enforced on this egress port. The drawback is that for larger frames than 64 bytes, not all the L1
bandwidth will be used. For example with 1500 bytes frames, the L1 maximum bandwidth will be
77.1Mbps. Equipment also take into account additional SVLAN tag that might be added to frames,
according to configuration.
To avoid facing this limitation, if needed, the port shaping of each port can be configured.
For electrical SFP, auto-negotiation mode can be either enabled or disabled. If auto-negotiation is
disabled, it is possible to configure port speed and duplex mode. In addition to port shaping, a SPTC (Strict Priority Traffic Class) shaping may be applied. This
shaping limits the rate of traffic passing through the Very High priority queue (other queues are not
affected).
The SPTC shaping can be either configured globally (see chapter 5.3.3 -) or per port. If
configuration is per port, a SPTC shaping may be defined for each port (GE ports and Radio port)

each port is applied. (note that in other modes, port configuration is ignored). See chapter
5.3.2.2 -for details.
The QOS global configuration window can be found in the Pilot menu here:
Configuration->Gigabit Ethernet->Advanced configuration->Global QOS configuration->local/remote
5.3.4 - QOS & services configuration
When QOS mode is set to "Enable", Access to the QOS and services configuration window is
granted. The window can be found in the Pilot menu here:
Configuration->Gigabit Ethernet->Advanced configuration->QOS and Services configuration-
>local/remote
- QOS mode:
While QOS Mode is set to "Disable", no shaping is performed on any port. No QOS is
enforced on any port (including radio port). And mode is equivalent to 4 EPLINE. This
means that frame that ingress on a local port will be sent to the radio port, and frames that
ingress from the radio port can be sent to any GE port (according to FDB) or flooded.
If QOS mode is set to "Enable", Radio port shaping is enforced, and QOS & services
configuration window is available for QOS configuration. Note that it is strongly
recommended to check QOS and services configuration if QOS is enabled (see chapter
5.3.4 -).
It is recommended to set this parameter to "Enable" since it allows gaining some Mbps of
bandwidth and the latency increase is nearly nothing (less than 1s typical).
- Jumbo frame mode:
When jumbo frame mode is set to "Disable", switch can transmit frames size comprise
between 64 and 2048 bytes.
When jumbo frame mode is set to "Enable", switch can transmit frame size comprise
between 64 and 10000 bytes. Between two local ports (no using the radio) frame size with
jumbo mode can go up to 10256.
- SPTC shaping:
This setting allow to configure globally for all ports the shaping applied to Strict Priority
(Very High) queue. This shaping limits the bandwidth available to services in Strict Priority.
If set to "Disable", no SPTC shaping is applied on any port (no bandwidth limitation).
If set to "All ports", a relative SPTC shaping is applied to all ports. The SPTC shaping
value is based on the percentage configured in "SP TC Shaping Value" field. The
bandwidth limitation is the percentage of the port L2 shaping or (if no port shaping is

software). Only Radio port is port shaped and can be SPTC shaped.
5.3.4.1.3 - EPLAN
In EPLAN mode, frames can be switched between all ports involved in this mode, including
switching between two local GE ports. QOS is performed on all ports (Radio port and GE ports).
No tagging action can be performed in this mode. Though Ingress frames can contain one (or more)

(SVLAN). Each port can be involved in more than one service. QOS is performed on all ports.
SVLAN tags can be pushed/popped on ingress/egress frames, or kept if already tagged. Three port
modes are available, UNI-N, I-NNI, and E-NNI (see chapter 5.3.4.2 - for more information regarding
ports mode and tagging possibilities).
For each classification defined on any port, a service must be defined (S-VLAN column in the

UNI stands for User to Network Interface. UNI ports are tagging points, when entering/leaving a
network. Only GE ports can be defined as UNI. Ingress frames will receive an additional SVLAN tag
(push) according to the classification configuration of the port (see chapter 5.3.4 - for details).
Egress frames will loose the topmost SVLAN tag (pop). It is possible to have different services
attached to a port. Ingress frames can be already tagged or not with one or more CVLAN or

It is possible to perform metering and policing actions on the equipment. Metering configuration is

classifications.
Metering configuration can be found on the top of the QOS and Services configuration window, as
shown in the following screenshot:
Metering:
CIR value
Equipment performs a two color marking for the metering (Green and Yellow) which is called SrTcm
(Single rate, Two color marking). When metering is enabled, for each classification, a CIR value
must be entered. Equipment will monitor the used bandwidth for each classification, and compare it
with CIR value. If the used bandwidth is bellow the CIR, all frames in the associated flow will be
marked Green. Otherwise, part of the frames will be marked Yellow, and part of the frames will be
marked Green, so that the bandwidth for Green frames is equal to the CIR value.
For I-NNI ports, according to PCP encoding (5.3.4.4.4 - ), the CIR value might be required. If PCP
encoding already include a drop precedence information (for example 5P3D encoding), the drop
precedence from the SP field of SVLAN tag is used to define drop precedence. Thus no CIR value
is required. Green frames have no drop precedence, and Yellow frame have drop precedence. If the
PCP encoding mode doesn't include drop precedence information (for example 8P0D encoding), a
CIR value must be defined for each SVLAN classification. Policing:

Yellow frames will be dropped while Green frames pass through. Thus the traffic below CIR will

Configuration->Gigabit Ethernet->Advanced configuration->Fast link shutdown->local/remote
When 2+0 radio function is enabled, Ethernet configuration remains the same. No additional
parameter is required. Both radio channels are aggregated using a proprietary patented link
aggregation mechanism. The full radio bandwidth available for Ethernet traffic can always be fully
used, whatever the Ethernet traffic is (LAPC on the contrary rely on MAC addresses and has a
statistical aspect that doesn't guarantee full link exploitation). Moreover, even in dissymmetrical
conditions (when channel 1 has more available bandwidth than channel 2 for example in ACM, or
when on channel is down), the equipment can still guarantee full link exploitation.
Thus Ethernet bandwidth can be computed at any time as the sum of available bandwidth for
channel 1 and 2 (or H and V in case of XPIC).
To compute available bandwidth, refer to performance sheets specific to the software version in
use. The bandwidth is given for a single channel, and thus must be summed for 2+0 applications

Check the cable between IDU and ODU. If the problem remains, replace the ODU or the Modem.
The Pilot cannot communicate with the IDU. Check the Ethernet cable between IDU and PC and check
that the IP addresses and subnet masks of the PC and the IDU are compatible. From the PC, ping the
IDU Ethernet address. If the ping result is negative, change the IP address of the PC or of the IDU
Ethernet port (see 4.2 -).
Check the remote terminal configuration (frequency, capacity, modulation, transmit power), correct
antenna alignment and possible presence of obstacles between the two antennas.
In the bottom bar, the software suggests trying to "unmute" the remote equipment, which could be one
of the reasons why it fails to operate. Go to the maintenance menu to access this command.
