User Manual Preface
General on Alcatel-Lucent customer documentation This paragraph describes in general the Alcatel–Lucent Customer Documentation system, details the association between the product levels and the associated documentation, and explains Customer Documentation characteristics as well as the policies for its delivery and updating.
Customer–independent standard customer documentation a)
Definition Standard Customer Documentation, referred to hereafter, must be always meant as plant–independent and is always independent of any Customization. Plant–dependent and/or Customized documentation, if envisaged by the contract, is subjected to commercial criteria as far as contents, formats and supply conditions are concerned.
Note b)
Plant–dependent and Customized documentation is not described here. Aims of standard customer documentation Standard system, hardware and software documentation is meant to give the Customer personnel the possibility and the information necessary for installing, commissioning, operating, and maintaining the equipment according to Alcatel–Lucent Laboratory design and Installation Dept. choices. In particular: •
the contents of the chapters associated to the software applications focus on the explanation of the man–machine interface and of the operating procedures allowed by it;
•
maintenance is described down to faulty PCB location and replacement.
Note
No supply to Customers of design documentation (like PCB hardware design and production documents and files, software source programs, programming tools, etc.) is envisaged.
Product levels and associated customer documentation a)
Products A “product” is defined by the network hierarchical level where it can be inserted and by the whole of performances and services that it is meant for. E.g. 9500 MPR is a product.
b)
Product-releases A “product” evolves through successive “product–releases”, which are the real products marketed for their delivery at a certain “product–release” availability date. A certain “product–release” performs more functions than the previous one. E.g. Rel.1.0 and Rel.2.0 are two successive “product–releases” of the same “product”. A “product–release” comprehends a set of hardware components and at least one “Software Package” (SWP); as a whole, they identify the possible network applications and the equipment performances that the specific “product–release” has been designed, engineered, and marketed for.
c)
Configurations and Network Elements In some cases, a “product–release” includes different possible “configurations” which are distinguished from one another by different “Network Element” (NE) types and, from the management point of view, by different SWPs.
d)
SWP releases, versions, and CD–ROMs
User Manual Preface
9500 MPR for ANSI and ETSI 3DB19025AAAA Issue 2
11/234
•
Each SWP is distributed by means of a specific SWP CD–ROM.
•
A SWP is identified by its “Denomination”, “P/N” (Part Number) and “CS” (Change Status), that are printed on the CD–ROM’s label: –
the first and second digits of the “Denomination” (e.g. 2.0) correspond to the “HW product– release” number;
–
the third digit of the of the “Denomination” (e.g. 2.0.2) identifies the Version Level of the SWP.
•
A SWP with new Version Level, providing main features in addition to those of the previous Version Level SWP, is distributed by means of a SWP CD–ROM having new “Denomination”, “P/ N” (Part Number), and “CS” restarting from 01
•
A SWP patch version, if any, is created to correct SW bugs, and/or to add minor features, and is distributed by means of a SWP CD–ROM, that can be identified: –
by the same “P/N” of the former CD–ROM, but with an incremented “CS” number (e.g.CS=02 instead of previous CS=01)
–
or by a new “P/N”, and “CS” restarting from 01.
Handbook updating The handbooks associated to the "product-release" are listed in “History” on page 10. Each handbook is identified by: –
the name of the "product–release" (and "version" when the handbook is applicable to the versions starting from it, but not to the previous ones),
–
the handbook name,
–
the handbook Part Number,
–
the handbook edition (usually first edition=01),
–
the handbook issue date. The date on the handbook does not refer to the date of print but to the date on which the handbook source file has been completed and released for the production.
Changes introduced in the same product–release (same handbook P/N) The edition and date of issue might change on future handbook versions for the following reasons: –
only the date changes (pointed out in the Table of Contents) when modifications are made to the editorial system not changing the technical contents of the handbook.
–
the edition, hence the date, is changed because modifications made concern technical contents. In this case: •
the changes with respect to the previous edition are listed in “History” on page 10;
•
in affected chapters, revision bars on the left of the page indicate modifications in text and drawings.

User Manual Preface
Changes concerning the technical contents of the handbook cause the edition number increase (e.g. from Ed.01 to Ed.02). Slight changes (e.g. for corrections) maintain the same edition but with the addition of a version character (e.g. from Ed.02 to Ed.02A). Version character can be used for draft or proposal editions. NOTES FOR HANDBOOKS RELEVANT TO SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS Handbooks relevant to software applications (typically the Operator's Handbooks) are not modified unless the new software "version" distributed to Customers implies man-machine interface changes or in case of slight modifications not affecting the understanding of the explained procedures. Moreover, should the screen prints included in the handbook contain the product–release's "version" marking, they are not replaced in the handbooks related to a subsequent version, if the screen contents are unchanged.
Supplying updated handbooks to customers Supplying updated handbooks to Customers who have already received previous issues is submitted to commercial criteria. By updated handbook delivery it is meant the supply of a complete copy of the handbook new issue (supplying errata-correction sheets is not envisaged). Changes due to new product version A new product version changes the handbook P/N and the edition starts from 01. In this case the modified parts of the handbook are not listed.
Customer documentation on CD-ROM In the following by 'CD-ROM' it is meant 'Customer Documentation on CD-ROM' Contents, creation and production of a CD-ROM In most cases, a CD-ROM contains in read-only electronic format the documentation of one productrelease(-version) and for a certain language. In some other cases, the same CD-ROM can contain the documentation of different product-release(-version)s for a certain language. As a general rule: –
–
CD-ROMs for Network Management products do not contain: •
the Installation Guides
•
the documentation of system optional features that Customers could not buy from AlcatelLucent together with the main applicable SW.
CD-ROMs for Network Elements products do not contain: •
the documentation of system optional features (e.g. System Installation Handbooks related to racks that Customers could not buy from Alcatel-Lucent together with the main equipment).
A CD-ROM is obtained collecting various handbooks and documents in .pdf format. Bookmarks and hyperlinks make the navigation easier. No additional information is added to each handbook, so that the documentation present in the CD-ROMs is exactly the same the Customer would receive on paper.

The files processed in this way are added to files/images for managing purpose and a master CD-ROM is recorded. Suitable checks are made in order to have a virus-free product. After a complete functional check, the CD-ROM image is electronically transferred to the archive of the Production Department, so that the CD-ROM can be produced and delivered to Customers. Use of the CD-ROM The CD-ROM can be used both in PC and Unix WS environments. The CD-ROM starts automatically with autorun and hyperlinks from the opened “Index” document permit to visualize the .pdf handbooks Other hyperlinks permit to get, from the Technical handbooks, the specific .pdf setting documents. In order to open the .pdf documents Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 4.0 (minimum) must have been installed on the platform. The CD-ROM doesn't contain the Adobe Acrobat Reader program. The Customer is in charge of getting and installing it. ReadMe info is present on the CD-ROM to this purpose. Then the Customer is allowed to read the handbooks on the PC/WS screen, using the navigation and zooming tools included in the tool, and to print selected parts of the documentation through a local printer. CD-ROM identification Each CD-ROM is identified: 1)
2)
by external identifiers, that are printed on the CD-ROM upper surface: –
the name of the "product-release(s)" (and "version" if applicable)
–
a writing indicating the language(s),
–
the CD-ROM Part Number),
–
the CD-ROM edition (usually first edition=01)
and, internally, by the list of the source handbooks and documents (P/Ns and editions) by whose collection and processing the CD-ROM itself has been created.
CD-ROM updating The list of source handbook/document P/Ns-editions indicated in previous para. point 2), in association with the CD-ROM's own P/N-edition, is also loaded in the Alcatel-Information-System as a structured list. Whenever a new edition of any of such handbooks/documents is released in the Alcatel-Lucent archive system, a check in the Alcatel-Information-System is made to identify the list of CD-ROMs that must be updated to include the new editions of these handbooks/documents. This causes the planning and creation of a new edition of the CD-ROM. Updating of CD-ROMs always follows, with a certain delay, the updating of the single handbooks composing the collection.

2 Overview An Alcatel-Lucent MPT-GC link consists of two radio terminals that transmit to each other on a full-duplex channel pair, providing point-to-point Ethernet and/or SONET/SDH connectivity between two locations. Alcatel-Lucent radios are Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), transmitting on one of many possible frequencies and receiving on the duplex of the frequency pair at the same time. Channel tuning is in accordance with ECC REC /(05/07). The diagram below shows the channel plan for aggregated 1 GHz and 250 MHz channels. When operating in 250MHz mode, there are 19 channels to select from. When operating in 1GHz mode, 4 adjacent channels are aggregated, and there are 15 channels to select from.

One terminal in each link is designated the High-Band unit and one is designated the Low-Band unit. The High-Band unit transmits on the higher frequency of the channel pair and receives on the lower frequency, while the Low-Band unit transmits on the lower frequency and receives on the higher frequency. The diagram below provides a top-level example of a MPT-GC link diagram (four TDM configuration).
The Ethernet interface traffic is bridged across the link via an embedded switch. The SONET/SDH traffic is handled separately within the radio and does not pass through the internal switch. The SONET/SDH and Ethernet traffic are aggregated within the radio unit for transmission over the air to the far end of the link. Depending on configuration, the available Ethernet bandwidth can exceed 1000Mbps. To utilize the full Ethernet capacity, the radio contains an internal Primary and Secondary Ethernet radio interface. This allows copper or Ethernet SFP interfaces to be assigned to the Primary or Secondary channel within the radio. An internal radio link aggregator handles this functionality.

3DB19025AAAA Issue 2
User Manual Overview
2.1 MPT-GC conceptual overview The SONET/SDH traffic and Ethernet traffic reside in separate areas of the radio circuitry and operate simultaneously. Traffic from all interfaces is combined into a single radio channel via the internal Radio Link Aggregator. An example of a MPT-CG with SyncE and 1+1 Hot Standby Protection (also called Protection) is shown below.
The Ethernet port traffic is bridged across the link in the embedded switch. The SONET/SDH traffic is not carried in the switch. The portion of the radio bandwidth that is not used by SONET/SDH is made available for use for Ethernet tributaries that are connected to the internal Ethernet switch, as shown in Table 2. Table 2.

There will always be some bandwidth available for management traffic in the Radio (Sec) channel. However, this channel can also run out of bandwidth.
In all configurations (Ethernet only, 2 TDM, and 4 TDM), four SFP ports, plus one copper, RJ-45 port, are available for Ethernet. If 1+1 Hot Standby Protection or SyncE is used, one SFP port is reserved for each function. In Ethernet only configurations, Port #1 is reserved for Protection, and Port #2 is reserved for SyncE. In 2 TDM configurations, SONET/SDH Ports #1 and #2 can be used to carry SONET/SDH traffic, Port #3 is used for Protection only, and Port #4 is reserved for SyncE. In 3 TDM configurations, SONET/SDH Ports #1, 2, and 4, can be used to carry SONET/SDH traffic, and Port #3 is used for Protection. SyncE is not used in 3 TDM configurations

2.2 Internal gigabit Ethernet switch Both High-Band and Low-Band units contain an embedded gigabit Ethernet switch. The switch has five external interfaces: one copper port and four Ethernet SFP interfaces. Internally, there is one interface connected to the internal management agent, and two interfaces connected to the radio interface for connectivity over the link. The interfaces can be configured to allow both user application and management agent Ethernet packets to be delivered to/from the fiber, copper, radio, and/or switch management port interfaces.

3DB19025AAAA Issue 2
User Manual Overview
2.4 VLAN connections The MPT-GC radio allows each Ethernet interface to be assigned to internal VLAN IDs within the range of 2 to 4080. This allows a great deal of flexibility in how the interfaces are connected to, or separated from, each other within the MPT-GC's internal switch. The management access can use untagged (default) or tagged. Tagged management access allows for management traffic to be carried outside of the MPT-GC radio into the network on a VLAN. When configured in the Tagged mode, the MPT-GC management agent response to any management tagged traffic contains the selected VLAN tag.
Avoid setting the same VLAN range over different ports. The incoming VLAN must be set only to the destination port.
If the interface being used to connect to the internal management agent is receiving tagged 802.1Q VLAN trunk frames, the Mgmt Access parameter must be set for Tagged, and the Mgmt VID must match the VLAN ID of the trunked VLAN in which the radio will be managed.
2.5 MPT-GC management The MPT-GC can be managed: –
Out-of band (Default) by connecting the PC to the Ethernet Copper #9 interface (default access: untagged)
–
In-band by configuring properly one of the Optical Ethernet interface (a VLAN ID must be assigned to the Management and the Management Access must be set to “Tagged”). Note: The VLAN ID set for the Management must be set as Membership to the Radio interface (Preferred Secondary RF channel).

2.6 SONET/SDH data traffic The MPT-GC radio will carry up to four interfaces worth of SONET/SDH traffic, with the option to individually configure each interface for either OC-3 (STM-1) or OC-12 (STM-4). A payload of one OC-3 (STM-1) plus one OC-12 (STM-4) can be carried in MPT-GC, while still leaving 370 Mbps (primary) and 30 Mbps (secondary) of bandwidth available for Ethernet traffic.
When upgrading the system with the STM-4 license file, please be aware that a new FPGA version is required.
The unit clocks data into the SONET/SDH interface, based on the external clock being received from the connected equipment. Therefore, when the SONET/SDH port is configured for OC-12/STM-4, the interface will still clock an OC-3/STM-1 signal over the link transparently, if connected. MPT-GC extracts the timing reference individually from the ingress data signal applied to the SONET/SDH interface and delivers the same timing at the far-end egress of the SONET/SDH data signal. MPT-GC does not monitor any of the SONET/SDH overhead information.
2.7 AES encryption feature 2.7.1 Introduction The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) feature provides a method for securing the data traffic traveling across the radio link by encrypting the information. The AES feature, and the associated procedures in this section, are applicable to MPT-GC systems models, -E and -3TDM. These systems are available as factory-configured or field-upgrade to AES. In cryptography, AES is a block cipher adopted as an encryption standard by the U.S. government. AES is one of the most popular algorithms used in symmetric key cryptography. The design and strength of all key lengths of the AES algorithm (i.e., 128, 192 and 256) are sufficient to protect classified information up to the SECRET level. TOP SECRET information requires use of either the 192 or 256 key lengths. The Alcatel-Lucent AES solution uses the 256 key length. For the 256 Key, 64, 4-bit HEX characters or 32, 8-bit ASCII keyboard text characters are used for the key.
The keys are manually entered and do not change.

User Manual Overview
By default, the AES capable units that are factory configured or upgraded have a matching default key active on both ends of the link. The Link Quality voltage reading, which is used to determine the performance of the link, is fully functional, independent of AES configuration.
2.7.2 AES upgrade procedure Upgrading your radio to AES involves obtaining an AES license and firmware from Alcatel-Lucent. Use the following steps to upgrade your radio to include AES. 1)
Connect to the Web interface of both the High-Band and Low-Band units, and click on Tools, License.
2)
Click the Request License button in the License Page.
3)
Select Save from the File Download dialog box and save the lic_MAC00xxxx.ini file to a known location.
4)
Email this file to Alcatel-Lucent after purchasing the AES upgrade.
5)
Once the upgrade has been purchased, Alcatel-Lucent will email a license file and a .bit file (firmware/FPGA) that must be uploaded to the radio units. Save these files to a known location. Each file can be used for both units. The unit’s firmware should not be upgraded until after the license file has been received and properly installed. HTTPS does not have to be enabled (in the Configuration, IP Setup page) to enable and configure AES.
6)
From the Web interface of each unit, select the Tools/Maintenance page. Under the Upload section, click Browse and locate the license file received from Alcatel-Lucent, then select Upload. A confirmation message is displayed upon successful upload.
7)
Click Browse from the Upload section, locate the .bit file (firmware/FPGA), then click Upload. A confirmation message is displayed upon successful upload.
8)
Restart the unit.
The unit can then be configured using the AES Setup page.

2.7.3 AES setup procedure The AES function may either be supplied from the factory or as an upgrade. 1)
AES should only be configured after proper installation has been completed, and an unencrypted link has been established and validated. Confirm you are working with a fully operational link.
2)
Using a Web browser, connect to the Web interface of the local (near-end) unit and click on AES. The AES Setup page shown below appears:
3)
Under the Set Key section, enter up to 32 ASCII text characters into the Key (ASCII) field, and then click the Set Key button. The ASCII characters will automatically be converted to hexadecimal format. Alternatively, hexadecimal characters can be entered directly into the Key (Hex) field. After Set Key is clicked, the buttons become grayed out while the key is being saved to flash. This process can take up to 4 minutes.
Check the key closely before performing the Set Key operation. The key contents will not be displayed after performing the Set Key operation.
Click AES to refresh the page until the buttons are no longer grayed out. Do not hit the browser Refresh option to update the page. This will cause the key to re-save, and the buttons will continue to be grayed out.
Please be patient. It may take up to 4 minutes for the 256 key data to be written to the radio memory. The buttons on the AES page will be grayed out during this process.

User Manual Overview
4)
Log into the remote (far-end) unit, being sure to enter the same key at both ends of the link, and perform the Set Key operation outlined in Step 3. Again, it can take up to 4 minutes for the key to be written to the flash memory. On Protection systems, all four radios must have the same AES key configured. Otherwise, traffic will not flow over the link when switching to the standby unit.
5)
Next, click the Activate Key button on the remote (far-end) unit first, and then the local (nearend) unit. This applies the key to the internal encryption hardware, but does not enable encryption.
6)
The Encryption menu is used to enable or disable encryption and is set to Enable by default. Verify that both the local (near-end) and remote (far-end) unit Encryption menus are set to Enable. If Disable is set, select Enable from the Encryption menu on the remote (far-end) unit, click the Set Encryption button, then perform the same on the local (near-end) unit. If connectivity across the link cannot be established after enabling encryption, check the Packets Received field under the Radio section of the Radio Status page. If errors are displayed followed by the Check AES setup message, shown below, the keys are most likely mismatched and should be re-entered into both the local and remote units.

User Manual Overview
3 NE Management by software application 3.1 Connect to units MPT-GC units are shipped with the factory-default IP address set to 192.168.0.1 for Low-Band units and 192.168.0.2 for High-Band units. The default user name is admin, and the default password is adminpass. Passwords can be no longer than 14 characters.
Pay attention to 1+1 Configuration where all the ODUs in one side have the same IP address by default.
By default, all ports other than the secondary radio port are configured to be on the same VLAN as the management VLAN within the MPT-GC switch. This allows access to the Web interface from any of the ports, except the secondary radio port. An example of this concept is shown below.
Multiple users may concurrently access the radio Web interface from different browser windows. If multiple users are logged on as Administrator, they are all permitted to independently modify the unit's configuration.

3.4.2 Radio link The Radio Link Setup screen allows setting the link ID and rate, enabling the transmitter and ARM; and setting the TX and RX radio channel, LSP activation level, and Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) mode.
3.4.2.1 Link ID Use the Link ID field to set the link ID of the local radio. The range is 0 - 1000, and the default is 0. A link ID of 0 disables the link ID feature. The same link ID must be used on both the local and remote radios, otherwise, a major alarm will occur. If there is a link ID mismatch, a red indicator and error message appear on the Radio Status page, and the Radio Link LED on the radio enclosure turns red. The link will be up, however, no traffic will pass through. The link ID is useful for link identification purposes. The ID is continuously exchanged by the radios in a link pair. The network uses it to reference the local and remote port numbers and addresses associated with the link.
3.4.2.2 Radio rate setup procedure The radio-link data rate may be selected manually by the pull-down menu, as shown below.
Typically, the maximum licensed rate is selected, and the other rates are selected for testing AdaptRate modes.

The radio is shipped in Transmitter Off mode (disabled) from the factory. When the radio is powered up by the customer, the Transmitter is off (disabled) and requires using the Transmitter menu to be enabled. The Transmitter setup is stored in flash and configuration is maintained across power cycles. When the Transmitter is off, the Mode LED illuminates solid yellow, overriding the ATPC mode.
3.4.2.4 ARM enable / disable The Adaptive Rate Modulation (ARM) feature is enabled from this screen. To set ARM, select Enable or Disable, as shown below, and then click the Submit button.
ARM provides a higher availability; switching to lower rates improves system gain each time. This concept is illustrated below.

This is called a channel pair and facilitates full-duplex communications. Use the pull-down menu to select the Transmit Channel. When selecting a new Transmit Channel, the Receive Channel is automatically changed to the correct receiver frequency for the selected channel number.
3.4.2.6 ATPC setup procedure The Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) can be set to Manual or Automatic. During antenna alignment, the ATPC is set to Manual, also called Alignment mode. The installer should invoke Alignment mode by pushing the reset button on the radio for approximately 1 second. In Manual or Alignment mode, the transmit power can manually be set by the Web interface operator to values ranging from -5 dBm to +19 dBm. On short links, lowering the TX power will help to bring the RSL voltage into a useable range. In Manual mode, only the Power Output is available for setting, as shown below.
In Automatic mode, only the Target RSL (Remote) is available for setting, as shown below.

In Automatic mode, and when the radio links are short, the transmit power is automatically lowered. When rain attenuation is present in the link, the Transmit Power is automatically adjusted higher. The transmit power level is determined by setting a target level in the far-end RX, and the local transmitter power is automatically adjusted to maintain that level. During rain fades, and when the maximum TX power out is reached, the RX automatic gain control (AGC) will take over from that point. The ATPC dynamic range is 24 dB. The target level is fully adjustable. The ATPC target level would typically be set to -40 to -45 dBm. This setting is a balance between having the lowest transmit power possible and still obtaining a full 3.3 quality voltage under dry air conditions.
3.4.2.7 Alignment mode Alignment mode allows for radio link alignment by disabling the ATPC function and forcing the TX power to be constant. The installer on the tower can push the reset button for ~1 second to set the ATPC function to Manual or the function is set in the Web interface. The Manual setting is reflected in the Web interface when the button is pressed by the installer. Pushing the reset again button for ~1 second returns to system to Automatic ATPC mode.
The Mode LED on the radio will illuminate blue, and will blink on off, to indicate that Alignment mode is Enabled. The Mode LED will illuminate solid yellow if the Transmitter is muted. Far end RSL: During Alignment mode, the installer will see the far end RSL, rather than the quality voltage, on the radio's analog voltage test point. This state will be reflected in the Web interface on the Diagnostics page. The analog voltage state at the radio can also be changed in the Web interface.
When the installer exits Manual Alignment mode, the analog voltage test point will again indicate quality voltage.

3.4.3 Adaptive Rate Modulation (ARM) setup procedure During rainy conditions, the MPT-GC radio channel modulation and rate will be adjusted to provide more fade margin before fading past the RX threshold and losing the link. The adaptive radio channel adapts to 1200 (QPSK), 600 (BPSK), 240 (QPSK), and 120 (BPSK) Mbps. For any adaptive rate modulation such as 1000 (QPSK) or 1000 (BPSK), the frequencies to set on the two radio links need to be separated by at least six channels: CH1 to Ch6 or CH9 to CH15. When provisioning traffic, Ethernet traffic may use any bandwidth left in the channel after SONET/SDH is provisioned. A checkbox in the display indicates that the channel is available, whereas, when there is no checkbox, the channel is not available. The Adaptive Rate Modulation Setup screen allows the operator to see the amount of Ethernet and SONET/SDH traffic available that has been provisioned in the MPT-GC radio link. The right hand column shows the bandwidth available for Ethernet traffic. The screen below shows that there is 1200 Mbps available for Ethernet traffic; Ethernet traffic will use all of the available bandwidth.
Ethernet traffic with no SONET/SDH configured (dry air)
The Primary and Secondary radio channels are GigaE switch ports. The Secondary port will only provide a maximum of 200 Mbps. Figure 3. and Figure 4. show the resultant Ethernet capability as the SONET/SDH provisioning is increased.

3.4.4.4.1 Tagged / untagged management access Use the ‘Mgt Access menu to select whether management is handled via Untagged or Tagged frames. 3.4.4.4.1.1 Management access Untagged ingress packets When the ingress packets are untagged: –
The switch checks the destination address (DA).
–
If the DA equals the host management MAC address, the packet is trapped to the CPU port.
–
If the DA does not equal the host management MAC address, the packet is forwarded to all ports that have the same port VLAN ID (PVID) as the ingress port.
Tagged ingress packets When the ingress packets are tagged: –
The switch checks the DA and the VLAN ID
–
If the DA equals the host management MAC address, and if the VLAN ID equals the management VLAN ID, the packet is trapped to the CPU port.
–
Otherwise, the packet is forwarded to all ports that are members of VLAN ID (according to the tag).
Ingress filtering is disabled – all packets are accepted at the ingress port.
3.4.4.4.1.2 VLAN configuration – tagged/untagged Each port can be configured to function as tagged or untagged. Untagged is the default. Tagged egress port On the egress port – the tagged packet will be forwarded without any changes. However, for untagged packets, the tag will be inserted in the packet as per VLAN classification at the ingress (PVID). Untagged egress port On the egress port – for a tagged packet, the tag will be stripped. An untagged packet will be forwarded as is. Ingress filtering When VLAN ingress filtering is disabled on a port, all packets are accepted by the ingress port, and forwarding of the packets is determined by egress VLAN rules. When VLAN ingress filtering is enabled, and if the port is not a member of the VLAN carried in the packet, the packet will be dropped at the ingress and will not be forwarded to the bridge. However, all untagged packets are forwarded to the bridge, regardless of whether or not VLAN ingress filtering is enabled. Table 6. describes how tagged and untagged packets are handled at the ingress and egress ports. User Manual NE Management by software application

Table 6. How tagged and untagged packets are handled at the ingress and egress ports
When are packets dropped? –
Untagged packets: The switch’s internal forwarding engine will forward according to the ingress port’s PVID (that is, it will forward to all egress ports that have the same PVID). If no egress port is a member of that VLAN, the packet will be dropped by the forwarding engine.
–
Tagged packets: The switch’s internal forwarding engine will drop the packet if no egress port is a member of the VLAN tag.
–
Enforcing tagged membership consumes radio capacity if passing untagged packets. For full Gigabit untagged traffic, the capacity achieved is: • •
64 bytes - 96.132% 512, 1518, or 8000 bytes - 99.226%

3.4.4.4.2 Copper port isolated for management This option allows for management of each radio terminal through the copper interface or any port, while keeping the management traffic isolated from the core network traffic. The copper, and management interfaces are configured onto the same internal VLAN. This effectively places the copper or other port into its own broadcast domain (LAN segment). The example below shows the connections on the VLAN screen for out-band management. The Mgt. Access and Copper Port#9 are the only ports configured on VLAN 4.
An example of this is depicted below, in which an 802.1Q VLAN trunk is used to allow the management station to access the remote radio's copper port.
The switches keep the core network traffic and the management network traffic secure and separate from one another.

3.4.4.5 MAC learning enable / disable The MPT-GC radio link acts as a network bridge. The MPT-GC contains a bridging or forwarding table. The MPT-GC examines the source addresses in received packet headers to locate unknown devices. A device will either be local, or local to the far end of the link. Use the Mac Learning menu to enable or disable MAC Learning. When MAC learning is enabled, the switch dynamically learns the MAC addresses and directs the traffic to a target port, provided the destination MAC address is already learned. If the MAC address is not learned (that is, no entry in the forwarding database) the packet will be forwarded to all egress ports within the VLAN. When MAC learning is disabled, all packets will be forwarded to all ports within the VLAN.
3.4.4.6 MAC ageing Use the MAC Ageing field to set the maximum age of a dynamically learned entry in the MAC address table. The range is 10 - 630 seconds. When the maximum age is reached, the MAC address entries are removed, given that the packet with the learned MAC entry as source does not enter the switch in this period.

3.4.5 Port configuration The Alcatel-Lucent MPT-GC radios are fitted with four SFP slots for Gigabit Ethernet fiber interfaces and four SFP slots for SONET/SDH traffic (depending on the Baseband board version). This product may only be operated with the SFP types provided by Alcatel-Lucent. Alcatel-Lucent SFP modules are available for SONET/SDH, Ethernet Multimode, Ethernet Single mode and Copper RJ-45 applications. To access the Ports Setup screen, select the Ports link under the Configuration menu.
3.4.5.1 Port state
Any Port must be selected as Up in order to carry traffic and supply status information. When a port is selected in the Down state, the data port traffic of SONET/SDH will not be carried and there will be no status alarms. Down configuration is not allowed for the Management port. A user would effectively not be able to access the system if the Management port is configured to the Down state. When the Port is selected in the Test state, Data and Ethernet ports will still carry traffic, but will continuously provide a Minor (Yellow) status alarm.
3.4.5.2 Auto negotiation / flow control For Ethernet ports, the following options are provided: Auto Negotiation (AN), which negotiates Speed or Duplex mode; and flow control. When AN is enabled, flow control can be set to enabled (AN:Enable, FC On) or disabled (AN:Enable, FC Off). When AN is disabled, flow control can be set to enabled (AN:Disable, FC On) or disabled: (AN:Disable, FC Off). The units are set with AN and flow control disabled as the factory default.

It is important that the Alcatel-Lucent MPT-GC and the customer network equipment interfaces be configured identically; for example, both interfaces should be configured to auto-negotiate, or both should be configured to not auto-negotiate. If the ARM feature is enabled and Quality of Service (QoS) is disabled, the fiber interface on the radio and the attached switch should be set with flow control enabled. This allows flow control to assert backpressure on the network, via pause frames, when AR is operating in reduced rates. In turn, this assists with preventing congestion when stepping from 1000 Mbps down to lower speed modes.
Changing the flow-control setting on a single port forces the same flowcontrol setting on all ports.

3.4.9.1 Synchronous LSP 3.4.9.1.1 Introduction Synchronous LSP allows external network equipment to handle redundancy by rapidly switching the application traffic, synchronized at both ends of the link, to another available (redundant) interface in the external network. This functionality is generally supported on enterprise and network-backbone class switches and routers. If a Low-Band or High-Band receiver detects an RSL that is at the LSP activation level, LSP disables the outgoing fiber interfaces on both the local and remote radios. LSP should remain disabled, unless it is necessary to quickly signal external network equipment when a radio-link-down state is detected. Use the Ports Setup page to select synchronous LSP, as shown below.
Access to the Web and SNMP management functionality will not be possible if the radio is being managed through a fiber interface, and LSP has disabled the fiber interface. Restoration of the radio link will be required in order to regain access to the equipment. If the LSP feature is enabled, it is highly recommended to use local management. This will allow for access to the units if the radio link is in a down state. The following depicts a normal RSL with synchronous LSP enabled (using the Ports Setup page): Synchronous LSP is deactivated (not triggered) because the RSL is within the configured range.

The following depicts an RSL below the configured range (with synchronous LSP enabled using the Ports Setup page): Synchronous LSP is activated (triggered) because the RSL is below the configured range, and the LSP function signals the terminating network equipment that the link is down by turning off the fiber output signal.
3.4.9.1.2 Synchronous LSP setup procedure After the equipment is installed, perform the following suggested steps to set up the function. 1)
If desired, on both radios, set the pre-defined RSL for LSP activation and deactivation in the Radio Link Setup page. Otherwise, use the default settings.

3.4.9.2 AdaptPath™ secondary path LSP 3.4.9.2.1 Introduction When AdaptPath™ is configured, and when the link reaches a pre-defined RSL, the traffic at the AdaptPath (Main) port is directed to the AdaptPath (Backup) port, such as the copper interface. Any Ethernet port available in MPT-GC may be configured as either the AdaptPath (Main) or the AdaptPath (Backup) port. The AdaptPath (Backup) port would then be connected to a backup link, such as a 5.4 or 5.8 GHz pointto-point radio link.
LSP will not forward SONET/SDH or SyncE traffic.

3.4.10.2.3 Policing and CIR 3.4.10.2.3.1 Policer mode The MPT-GC uses Committed Information Rate (CIR) two-color policing to limit the rate of traffic at the ingress. The CIR is the guaranteed bandwidth for a traffic flow per the Service Level Agreement (SLA). The policer meters the traffic according to the specified CIR. The CIR is measured at Layer-1, including the entire packet, the time delay between packets, and preamble signal. The maximum rate that can be specified for a radio is 1 Gbps. Traffic is classified by the policer into conforming ("green") and non-conforming ("red") traffic. Conforming traffic conforms to the bandwidth limit. All conforming traffic is forwarded to the egress. Non-conforming traffic exceeds the bandwidth limit. Non-conforming traffic can be configured to be dropped or forwarded. If dropped, the traffic is dropped and not forwarded to the egress. This configuration may be beneficial for time-sensitive applications. If forwarded, the traffic is forwarded to the egress queue. 9500 MPR for ANSI and ETSI 86/234

3.4.10.2.3.2 Configuring the CIR The CIR value, in 1 Mbps, is entered for each port, Pbit, or DSCP. The four columns of fields correspond to the rate settings in the Radio Link Setup screen. The column in bold type indicates the currently selected radio link data rate. For example, in the screen below, the 1000MHz(QPSK) column is in bold type because the rate currently selected in the Radio Link Setup screen is 1000 MHz (QPSK).
The sum of the CIR fields cannot exceed the maximum capacity, 1 Gbps. The use of SONET/SDH bandwidth also affects the CIR setting. If a setting is typed into the field that causes the capacity to be exceeded, an error message will appear after attempting to submit the value. The Action menu specifies if packets for that port, Pbit, or DSCP that exceed the CIR will be dropped or forwarded to the egress. The Status menu enables or disables CIR for the port, Pbit, or DSCP.

All SDWRR Click the All SDWRR button to access the Shaped Deficit Weighted Round Robin (SDWRR) Queue Scheduler screen.
Use the Weight field to set the weights of the SDWRR queues (0-255). The defaults are all zeros. In SDWRR scheduling, the traffic rate is based on the weights. As such, it is possible that the traffic with the highest weight might have packet losses. For example: 4 flows each have 200 Mbps entering the radio, and the weight assigned to each flow is 4,3,2,1. Assuming that the radio is operating in 250 MHz QPSK mode, the flow with weight 4 can incur packet losses of up to 120 Mbps.

3.4.10.4 QoS configuration example In the following example, a customer has three services assigned the following bit rates and priorities: –
Video with a 400 Mbps rate with the highest priority
–
Voice with a 150 Mbps rate with the next-highest priority
–
Data with a 100 Mbps rate with the lowest priority
The priority of incoming packets for the above scenario could be set in the port-based Classifier/Policer Configuration screen as shown below:
–
Port #5 is assigned video with a traffic class of 6 and a CIR of 400.
–
Port #6 is assigned voice with a traffic class of 4 and a CIR of 150.
–
Port #7 is assigned data with a traffic class of 2 and a CIR of 100.
–
All packets exceeding the CIR in these ports are set to be dropped.
–
CIR is enabled on these ports.
If the radio degrades from 1200 mode to 600 mode (assuming ARM is enabled), then the highest priority traffic (video) will remain unaffected. Considering the remaining bandwidth, the second and third priority traffic will pass through, or be dropped. In this example, the voice traffic will pass through, but 50 Mbps of the data traffic will be dropped, because the other services have consumed the radio pipe.

3.4.11 SyncE
SyncE will only be visible in the Web interface if licensed.
The MPT-GC provides Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) functionality, compliant with ITU-T G.8261 and G.8262, and the Do Not Use (DNU) section of G.8264.
3.4.11.1 SyncE overview The SyncE signal is inserted into the optical fiber SFP Port #4, which functions as a SyncE port. The MPT-GC supports bi-directional synchronization streams, as shown below.
The SyncE master signal is input into MPT-GC-A (via SFP Port #4). The Ethernet clock is extracted and used to synchronize the data flowing towards the radio port, onto the remote side of the link toward MPTGC-B. At MPT-GC-B, the clock coming in from the radio port synchronizes all line egress ports going out to the user side on that unit. The same flow (in the opposite direction) occurs from MPT-GC-B to MPT-GC-A. The MPT-GC supports Synchronization Status Messages (SSM) within the Ethernet Synchronous Message Channel (ESMC) Ether frame. SSM messages representing timing (clock) level quality are transparently transported through the radios for delivery to the various network elements. Radio failure or loss of SyncE on the radio's port results in generation of a Do Not Use (DNU) message being sent by the radio to alert network elements of a fault condition per G.8264.

3.4.12 1+1 Hot Standby Protection
1+1 Hot Standby Protection will only be visible in the Web interface if licensed.
Pay attention to the optical cable plug TX and RX side to avoid Ethernet loop.
1+1 Hot Standby Protection (also called Protection) provides system redundancy that will take effect when a failure is detected: this ensures system-level mitigation of local hardware problems.
3.4.12.1 Overview Protection consists of a mated pair of radios on each side of the link, backing each other up. Each side has an active and standby radio. Ideally, the active radio is the main radio (with maximum 3 dB loss), that is, the preferred radio to carry data. The standby radio (with maximum 11 dB loss) acts as a backup radio that will take control if the active radio fails to carry traffic. The radios are locally interconnected to share Protection-related information. Only the active radio transmits to the link and to the line. Switching is done between the active and standby radios on each side of the link, independent of the remote side. The Protection mode menu in the Protection screen is used to designate the radio as active or standby.
For Protection systems, software upgrades must be performed on the standby radio.
Protection switching is based on the following, in order of priority: –
Mate power off - when a radio detects the mate radio's power is off, it initiates a Protection switch.
–
Lockout - configured by the user for maintenance purposes. This overrides the Protection decision making and locks the radio in its current mode, until the user disables Lockout.
–
Force Switch - configured by the user for maintenance purposes. This forces the radio to perform a Protection switch, and then be locked in that mode, until the user disables Force Switch.
–
Radio Loss of Frame (RLOF) - when the active radio detects an RLOF, it initiates a Protection switch.
–
Line Loss of Signal (LOS)/Line Loss of Carrier (LOC) - when the active radio detects an LOS/LOC, it initiates a Protection switch.
–
Manual Switch - configured by the user to request an active radio to switch to standby. The active radio complies if there are no registered faults on the standby radio. Switches are performed independently on each side of the link.
One hardware failure is handled at a time; fading of the radio link is not handled. Protection switches will yield no more than 50 ms of traffic disruption.

Matching Ethernet and SONET/SDH ports on the active and standby radios are connected with fiber splitters. In this way, both radios receive the same data from the customer. A dedicated port serves as the Protection port and connects both radios with a fiber cable. The radios communicate their Protection status messages over this connection. A conceptual example of Protection active and standby radios configured with out-of-band management, one Ethernet data connection, and SyncE is shown below.

Setup Use the Protection Mode drop-down menu (in the Setup area) to select the mode of the radio (Disable, Active, or Standby). Disable disables Protection mode in the radio. Active makes the radio online, that is, the preferred radio to carry data. Standby makes the radio offline, to act as a backup radio that will take control if the active radio fails to carry traffic.
Status indicates the current state of the radio: Disable, Active Monitoring, or Standby Monitoring. Use the Active-Standby Mgt. Com Port menu to select the port used for management communication between the active and standby radios for an in-band management configuration. Choices are Copper #9, or Ethernet ports #5, 6, 7, and 8.
The selected port is displayed next to the menu, after the Save Setup button is clicked. Use the Save Setup button to apply the selected mode.
Lockout Use the Lockout button to lock the radio in its current mode, while performing maintenance. This overrides Protection decision making. The radio is locked in its current mode until the lockout is cleared by clicking the button again. (The Lockout button changes to Clear Lockout when clicked.) This function can be performed on an active or standby radio.
Force Switch Use the Force Switch button to force the radio to perform a Protection switch and lock the radio in the new mode, while performing maintenance. The radio is locked in the new mode until the forced switch is disabled by clicking the button again. (The Force Switch button changes to Clear Force Switch when clicked.) This function can only be performed on an active radio. This button will be disabled on a standby radio to eliminate any potential service outage.
Lockout and Force Switch can also be cleared by a power cycle. They are not configuration options and are not saved to flash.

Manual Switch Use the Manual Switch button to manually switch the active radio to standby mode. The switch will occur only if there are no registered faults on the standby radio. This function can only be performed on an active radio. This button will be disabled on a standby radio.
3.4.12.3 Configuration sequence When Protection is enabled, ensure the LSP AdaptPath, ARM, and AdaptRate options are disabled. If LSP AdaptPath was configured before Protection was enabled, the LSP AdaptPath configuration will remain in the radio database, but will be disabled. When Protection is disabled, LSP AdaptPath, ARM, and AdaptRate will be operable. The active and standby radios must be configured identically on each side of the link. The basic configuration sequence is as follows: 1)
Configure the active (main) radio.
2)
Configure the standby radio the same as the active radio. As an alternative to manually configuring the standby radio identically, the configuration from the active radio can be backed up and imported to the standby radio using the Traffic Configuration and System Configuration buttons in the Backup section of the Web interface Maintenance menu. For details, refer to the paragraph 3.9.1.2 - Configuration file backup on page 114.
3)
Configure the active (main) radio as active: Select Active from the Setup Protection Mode dropdown menu.
4)
If using an in-band management configuration, select the port to be used for management communication between the active and standby radios from the Active-Standby Mgt. Com Port drop-down menu.
5)
Click Save Setup.
6)
Configure the standby radio as standby: Select Standby from the Setup Protection Mode dropdown menu.
7)

3.5.5 RADIUS 3.5.5.1 Introduction Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) standard (RFC 2865) allows for remote and centralized user administration, authentication, and authorization of the Alcatel-Lucent Radio user names and passwords when the radios are embedded in a network environment. When RADIUS is enabled in the MPT-GC radio, and a user attempts to log in to the radio, the radio will send the authentication request to the specified RADIUS server. The communication between the radio and the RADIUS server is authenticated and encrypted through the use of a shared secret. The shared secret is not transmitted over the network. The radio has the following RADIUS configuration options: –
Disable (default)
–
Enable while disallowing locally configured (admin, user) login access
If the RADIUS server is not available and RADIUS is enabled, a hard reset will be needed to regain login access to the radio.

3.6 Statistics menu 3.6.1 Ethernet Statistics The Ethernet Statistics page of the Web interface displays received and transmitted Ethernet packet statistics for the copper, fiber, and radio interfaces. These values allow the user to see where packets are dropped due to corrupted or invalid contents, determine the flow of packets between the interfaces, and determine the rate that data is moving through the system. Receive and Transmit are relative to the switch port; for example, a packet transmitted on the fiber interface is a packet sent from the fiber interface of the unit to the user's network equipment.
An example of the Ethernet Statistics page is shown in below, and a definition of each parameter follows.
Good Octets:
An octet is a sequence of eight bits. Since a byte is not eight bits in all computer systems, octet provides an unambiguous term. When a packet is in error, none of the octets are counted as "good".
Good Packets:
Total number of packets without errors received. For the transmit direction, this is expressed as total packets sent, because only good packets are sent.
Unicast Pkts:
Total number of frames that have a unicast destination MAC address. Unicast frames are addressed to a single host on an LAN.
Broadcasts Pkts:
Total number of good frames that have a broadcast destination MAC address. Broadcast frames are addressed to all hosts on an LAN.
Multicasts Pkts:
Total number of good frames that have a multicast destination. Multicast are frames addressed to a subset of hosts on an LAN.

9500 MPR for ANSI and ETSI 3DB19025AAAA Issue 2
103/234
Undersized Pkts:
Total number of frames received with a length less than 64 octets, but with a valid FCS.
Oversized Pkts:
Total number of frames received with a length that exceeds 1518 bytes (untagged) or 1522 bytes (tagged), but with a valid FCS. These errors are caused either by damaged packets, or by user network equipment being configured to transmit jumbo frames.
Fragmented Pkts:
Total number of frames received with a length less than 64 octets and an invalid FCS.
Jabber:
Total number of frames received with a length that exceeds 1632 bytes, but with an invalid FCS.
PHY Errors:
Receive errors on the physical interface.
CRC Errors:
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is a method of detecting errors in data transmission. A CRC is control information sent with a block of data, that when received, can be used to verify that all data was received correctly. CRC errors typically indicate physical defects in fiber or copper cabling, or poor receive signal quality on a radio link. One or less CRC errors every 16 minutes on a fully-loaded 1000 Mbps link would equal a bit error rate of under 10-12 and is considered excellent performance for fiber or radio connections. One CRC error every 90 seconds would equal a bit error rate of 10-10 on a 100 Mbps copper connection, which complies with 100Base-TX specifications. While higher error rates should normally only be seen during short periods of heavy rain downpours, most LAN applications can easily tolerate 10-8 bit error rates without noticeable degradation.
Pauses:
Pause frames are sent if flow control is enabled and a port must temporarily stop the flow of incoming packets.
% Utilization:
Traffic utilization of the interface. To make calculations easier, the percentage is always based on a 1000 Mbps rate, regardless of the current rate or speed capability of the interface.
Usage Rate:
Traffic utilization of the interface. The actual Mbps rate being carried at the interface.
Collisions:
Total number of collisions detected. Collisions indicate that more than one device is transmitting packets to an Ethernet hub at the same time, and will normally be detected by the device itself and be re-transmitted. Collisions should not occur when devices are connected through Ethernet switches in full-duplex mode.
Automatic Refresh:
The statistics page will automatically update every 10 seconds when this parameter is enabled. The Web interface will not automatically log off inactive users if the Automatic Refresh option is enabled, and the browser window is left on the Statistics page. Select the Log Out option to prevent un-authorized access to the unit.
Clear:
Resets all statistics counters to zero.

4.2 Hard reset using hard reset cable Alternatively, you can perform a hard reset by creating your own hard reset cable. It is required to have physical access to the unit's Copper Port #9 (RJ-45 jack) and the unit's power cable. Use the following procedure to perform a hard reset with a hard reset cable: 1)
Obtain a standard Ethernet patch cable, at least 3 meters in length.
2)
Cut off one end of the Ethernet patch cable, and then strip the jacket from the 2 wires that belong to pins 3 and 6. These are typically the wires from either the orange/white-orange or green/ white-green pairs, but this is not guaranteed to be the case.
3)
Connect the 2 wires from pins 3 and 6 together to make a short. All other wires must be left unterminated.
4)
Power down the unit.
5)
Connect the hard reset cable to the Copper Port #9 (RJ45) on the unit.
6)
Reconnect power to the unit and wait a minimum of 3 minutes.
The unit will then begin its normal restart cycle, and the Web interface will normally become accessible within approximately 3-4 minutes using the default IP configuration, user names, passwords and community strings.
4.3 Forcing radio to original factory image If the software is corrupt, the radio can be returned to the factory-default Web interface image from the back-up memory bank. To boot up the Web interface from the back-up memory bank, follow the procedure below. 1)
Power down the radio.
2)
Power up the radio.
3)
Wait until the green TX Status/Activity LED blinks (~40 seconds).
4)

5 Site planning 5.1 General Before the start of any installation, a survey of the planned deployment site should be conducted. The surveying personnel should be fully familiar with the details and requirements needed to successfully install the MPT-GC radio system.
5.2 Equipment checklist The following lists suggested equipment the site survey team may require: –
Binoculars (not always required)
–
WAAS-capable GPS location device
–
Tape measure to determine distances for cable runs to ingress points
–
Digital camera (not always required)
–
Site survey report form to document and help assess site
–
Signaling mirror (provided but not always required)
5.3 Line of sight The 80GHz Wireless Gigabit Ethernet link requires Line of Sight (LOS) for proper operation. Binoculars and spotting mirrors may be used to assist in the confirmation of LOS. Path planning should include an investigation into future building plans that could block the LOS path and other long-term incremental obstructions such as tree growth. Intermittent obstructions, such as aircraft at a nearby airport, should also be considered. Table 7. lists the near-field distances.

5.4 Link distance Measurement of the link distance is important in estimating the link availability and calculating expected Receive Signal Level (RSL). This measurement can be performed using the Latitude and Longitude coordinate readings from a Global Positioning System (GPS) device, which is placed near the proposed locations of the antennas. Additionally GPS reading will be required in order to comply with the FCC registration process. The Minimum 80GHz Link distances are as follows: –
MPT-GC 12” (30 cm antenna): 100 meters (328 feet)
–
MPT-GC 24” (60 cm antenna): 400 meters (1312 feet)
Contact Alcatel-Lucent to estimate maximum distances and availabilities for a given product and region.
5.5 Antenna location The optimum location for the antennas must be determined. The ideal location should provide for ease of erecting and mounting the antenna, as well as providing unimpeded LOS to the remote location. The following factors should be taken into account: –
Type of mounting-fixed or roof-safe pole mounting.
–
Location of fiber and DC power wiring ingress/egress of the building.
–
Length of cable runs.
–
Confirmed Earth Grounding connection points.
–
Obstructions, including allowances for tree growth.
–
Accessibility of the radio mounting location.
–
Accessibility of the site during and after working hours.

5.7 Cabling considerations The installation site should be inspected to determine the run paths for the fiber cable and power cable from the radio equipment to the termination point. Locations for roof penetration should be identified. The routing and securing of all cables should conform to all applicable codes and requirements. Depending on the likelihood of damage due to foot traffic or equipment movement, cabling conduit may be required. The maximum cable run length as specified for the equipment being installed, must not be exceeded: refer to Table 9. and Table 10. for cable types and limitations. The radio requires LC type connectors on duplex multi-mode fibers to properly connect between the radio and the user's network equipment. The network equipment end of the fibers should be terminated with connectors that match the user's network equipment fiber interface.

Table 10. Maximum fiber length SMF When planning the DC power cable run from the DC power source to the MPT-GC, it is required to use the cable gauge (AWG) indicated below to ensure adequate voltage at the radio. The indoor and outdoor portions of the DC power cabling must conform to all respective indoor and outdoor national and local electrical and building codes. Requirements may differ for the indoor and outdoor portions of the cabling, and a grounded surge protector is normally required at the point where the cable enters the building. The DC power cabling must consist of two 12 or 14 gauge, or two 2 pair 18 gauge, stranded conductors, based on your required cable run length. To maintain compliance with the essential requirements of the European R&TTE directive, and/or for best performance, it is necessary to use shielded DC power and ground cabling.

On the radio end, no connectors are required; simply press the DC power wires into the connector while observing the correct polarity. Once pressed in, the wires are locked in place.
Both redundant connections must be connected with the same polarity or a short circuit may occur at the primary 48VDC power source.
5.9 Grounding & lightning Proper grounding of the outdoor equipment reduces electromagnetic interference, provides lightning protection, and protects against electrical discharge. Using improper techniques in lightning-prone geographic areas may pose a danger to local personnel. The source and connection points for the building-to-earth ground in the vicinity of the antenna location should be determined. In addition to grounding the equipment, Alcatel-Lucent strongly recommends, and local building codes may require, the DC electrical cable to be protected from electrical surges by a Surge Arrestor. The surge suppressor must be installed on the wall in the station.
5.10 Environmental The structure to which the equipment will be mounted should be adequate to bear all wind and weather conditions. The environmental conditions at the location must conform to the operating environment specified for the equipment.

During a particular phase of installation, the user may refer directly to the applicable subsection. The Installation section is comprised of the following subsections covering the procedures and guidelines for installing the Alcatel-Lucent Radio System. Warning: to make sure of the continuity and avoid short circuit, all cables / connectors connections (RJ45, Coaxial, Ethernet, Optical Fiber) make on the field has to be verified and checked with Cable tester and make sure of the waterproofness.
6.2 Equipment unpacking The radio system equipment will arrive in four boxes-two boxes for the two antenna and mounting kits and two boxes containing the radio unit (one low-band and one high-band). Locate the correct box (low band or high band) before beginning installation by checking the label on the outside of the box or on the radio itself. It is recommended that the shipping cartons and packing materials be retained in the event that it is necessary to return any equipment.
The radiated polarity can be identified on unpacked radios by the first letter of the polarity V or H (Vertical or Horizontal) on the top of the unit handle or by the polarization labels. See Figure 27. for further details.

6.7 Installation procedure 6.7.1 Phase 1: Antenna mount installation Read these instructions before beginning installation. Caution should be used. Qualified persons experienced with antenna assembly and installation are required for installation. Alcatel-Lucent disclaims any responsibility or liability for damage or injury resulting from incorrect or unsafe installation practices. The antenna has been formed to a very close tolerance parabolic shape. Careful handling and assembly is required to avoid denting the reflector, which would degrade antenna performance. When using the left side radio mount position, the antenna ends up getting rotated by 180 degrees. The drain hole must be open at the bottom and closed off at the top of the antenna to prevent water ingress. – For the 2 foot antenna, move the bottom drain-hole plug to the top drain-hole position. – For the 1 foot antenna, plug the original drain hole using common, industrial RTV sealant. Then drill a new drain hole at the bottom, of the radome, 3/8" in diameter and ½" up from the edge of the radome, making sure not to drill deeper than ¼" to avoid hitting the reflector inside. Warning: To verify continuity and avoid short circuit, all cables / connectors connections (RJ45, Coaxial, Ethernet, Optical Fiber) make on the field has to be verified and checked with Cable tester.

6.7.2 Phase 2: Antenna and MPT-GC installation It is critically important during installation to ensure the radios on each side of the link are in the same polarization (horizontal-horizontal or vertical-vertical). A link that has a radio on one side of the link set in the horizontal polarization and the other side of the link set in the vertical polarization will not operate properly. It is also critically important that a high-band radio is paired with a lowband radio to ensure the system will operate properly. Prior to installation check each radio to verify one is a high-band and the other is a low-band version. The label on the radio will indicate the band (blue for high or red for low). Be sure to remove the protective cap from the antenna port before installing it:
1)
Install antenna and radio: The first letter of the designated polarization is stamped onto each unit to identify orientations when the polarity mark is positioned on top: –
"H" for horizontal.
–
"V" for vertical polarity. MPT-GC mounted in horizontal polarity
2)
The units have four (4) captive 3/8-16 bolts attached to the radio housing. Verify these bolts with lock and flat washers are in place. It is important that all four bolts are tightened evenly (hand-tight, 1 to 2 turns each, until the lock washer is flattened). Then, use a 9/16-inch open-end wrench to tighten and secure the bolts.

3)
Course align azimuth (that is, side-toside or horizontal) and tighten the 4 carriage bolts to secure the pole mounts.
4)
Loosen the 4 azimuth lock bolts.
5)
Adjust the eyebolt length, using a 9/ 16 inch open-end wrench, to the required location.
6)
Secure the 4 azimuth lock bolts (tighten until the lock washers are flattened).
Figure 28. Azimuth adjustment bolts
It is very important that the azimuth bolts are tightened before any elevation adjustment is attempted. The very narrow beam width of these antennas (0.4º and 0.9º) makes it necessary to completely tighten the bolts of the azimuth adjustment while adjusting the elevation and vice versa.
7)
Loosen the 2 antenna mounting bolts.
8)
Rotate the elevation fine-adjust hex nut, as required, to set correct elevation (i.e. up-down or vertical).
Do not try to adjust the elevation fine adjust bolt without first loosening the antenna bolts (step 7). Doing so may damage the brass elevation adjustment pin. 9)
Tighten the 2 antenna mounting bolts after correct elevation is set.
Figure 29. Elevation fine adjustment
It is very important that the nylon washers supplied are installed properly to prevent intermittent fluctuations in the link performance. Figure 30. shows the incorrect and correct location for the washers.

10/100/1000 Base-T Surge Arrestor
The MPT-GC radio internally contains an Ethernet-rated Surge Arrestor within the RJ-45 copper interface of the unit. A Surge Arrestor must also be used close to the indoor equipment. If the 10/100/1000Base-T port is permanently connected to other station equipment (not normally required), it should be connected using Cat5e UTP cables rated for the outdoor and/or indoor environments where the cables will be run. Failure to install surge suppression hardware on the UTP cable can expose the radio and network equipment to electrical surges due to lightning strike or other phenomena. Such electrical surges could cause irreparable damage to the radio and/or network equipment not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

6.7.15 Roof-mount antenna stability test
This procedure is recommended for roof-mount radio systems to verify that the structure used for mounting the radio antenna has a limited amount of sway.
After the radio system has been fine-tuned and locked down to the target RSLs, perform the following procedure to test the minimum amount of sway allowable for a fully installed radio system on roof-mount applications by applying a pull force of 50 pounds at the antenna location. A luggage belt and a luggage weight scale are required for this test:
Refer to the illustrations below while performing the procedure which follows.
[1]
Place the luggage belt around the mast just above the antenna mount.
[2]
Connect the luggage weight scale to the luggage belt.
[3]
Record the RSL voltage displayed on the voltmeter connected to the radio. This should be the target RSL value.
[4]
While monitoring the voltmeter, pull the luggage scale in any direction until the scale indicates 50 pounds and record the RSL value once 50 pounds is reached.
[5]
Compare the RSL value recorded during the pull test with the target RSL value. The difference between the two values should be less than +/-150 mV for a MPT-GC with a 1 foot (30 cm) antenna and less than +/-75 mV for a MPT-GC with a 2 foot (60 cm) antenna.

6.8 1+1 Protection and OMT-80 installation This section describes installing a system with the one of the following redundancy options, which consists of two radios mounted on an outdoor unit (ODU) coupler, with one antenna, on each side of the link: –
Unequal-Loss Couplers for 1+1 Hot Standby Protection (Protection) - This coupler is recommended for Protection links.
–
2+0 Orthogonal Mode Transducer (OMT-80) - The OMT-80 provides a mechanism whereby each radio transmits and receives over independent polarities. One radio uses vertical polarity, while the other radio uses horizontal polarity. The MPT-GC 80-3000 is an example of an Alcatel-Lucent product that utilizes the OMT-80. The OMT-80 is recommended for 2+0 links.
6.8.1 1+1 protection overview 1+1 Protection provides system redundancy that will take effect when a failure is detected: this ensures system-level mitigation of local hardware problems. Matching Ethernet and SONET/SDH ports on the active and standby radios are connected with fiber splitters. In this way, both radios receive the same data from the customer.
Radios equipped with copper SFPs cannot be protected, and must be reconfigured with optical SFPs to implement Protection configurations.
A dedicated port serves as the protection port and connects both radios with a fiber cable. The radios communicate their protection status messages over this connection. A conceptual example of Protection active and standby radios configured with out-of-band management, one Ethernet data connection, and Sync-E is shown below.

6.8.2 OMT-80 overview The OMT-80 allows two MPT-GC radios to transmit over one antenna, thus yielding double the traffic capacity.
6.8.2.1 OMT-80 Each side of the link has two radios: one fixed in horizontal polarity and one fixed in vertical polarity. This prevents interference by providing isolation between the signal paths from each radio. One side of the link requires two high-band radios, and the other side of the link requires two low-band radios.
On each side of the link the two radios must be managed by different VLANs.
A conceptual example of OMT-80 MPT-GC radios is shown below.
6.8.3 Protection product configuration Figure 31. and Table 17. reflect the required quantities for one link of MPT-GC radios in the Protection configuration. The following example is provided. Configuration for optical data cables –

6.8.5 Cabling considerations 6.8.5.1 Protection
Protection is only applicable for fiber-optic, not copper, SFP modules.
The following describes cabling between the active and standby radios. –
Fiber splitters are used to connect the fiber cabling to the data ports (Ethernet and SONET/SDH) and Sync-E port between the active and standby radios, and to the customer equipment. Up to 4 Ethernet data (optical port) connections can be used (not including Sync-E). On Sync-E radios, up to 2 SONET/SDH data (optical port) connections can be used: SONET/SDH Ports 1 and 2; Port 4 is used for Sync-E. In-band management with protection requires Sync-E. On 4 TDM radios, SONET/SDH Ports 1, 2, and 4 can be used for SONET/SDH data.
It is recommended to secure each fiber splitter inside a connection box using a tie wrap.
–
A dedicated single-mode fiber cable is used between SDH/SONET Port 3 on both the active and standby radios to relay protection-related information.
–
For in-band management configurations, a multi-mode fiber cable is used between any Ethernet port of the same number on both the active and standby radios. For example, Ethernet Port 8 on the active radio connects to Ethernet Port 8 on the standby radio. Alternatively, a Cat5e cable can be used between Copper Port 9 on the active radio and Copper Port 9 on the standby radio.
The following describes in-band and out-of-band management cabling. –
In-band: In addition to the fiber cable between the active and standby radios, three multi-mode or single-mode fiber cables and a fiber splitter are used to connect the active and standby radio SyncE ports, and the customer equipment.
–
Out-of-band: One Cat5e cable can be used between the copper port on the active radio and the customer equipment. Another Cat5e cable can be used between the copper port on the standby radio and the customer equipment. Alternatively, fiber cabling from Ethernet data ports on the active and standby radios can be used as an alternative to Cat5e cabling from the active and standby radio copper ports. Three multi-mode or single-mode fiber cables and a fiber splitter are used to connect the active and standby radio Sync-E ports, and the customer equipment.

6.8.6 Changing polarity on protection couplers
This subsection applies only to Protection couplers, not the OMT-80, because the OMT-80 has fixed polarity.
The Protection RF coupler assembly has a pre-installed vertical polarity adapter. If horizontal polarity is required, a horizontal adapter (painted black) is separately provided in the accessory kit, which requires installation. To install, refer to Figure 36.and the following procedure. On installed radios, the polarity can be distinguished by checking the silver or black ring between the outdoor radio and the coupler: vertical polarity is silver, and horizontal polarity is black.

6.8.10.2 Protection active and standby radio cabling All data cabling is installed on matching ports between the active and standby radios using fiber splitters. Protection communication between the active and standby radios requires a dedicated fiber connection between each radio's SDH/SONET Port 3. The following instructions assume: –
For in-band management, a fiber connection is used between an Ethernet port on the active radio and the same number Ethernet port on the standby radio for management.
–
For out-of-band management, separate Cat5e cables from the Copper 9 ports on the active and standby radios are used for management.
6.8.10.2.1 Protection active and standby radio cabling: example configuration
Active radio cabling 1)
Attach one end of a single-mode fiber cable, with LC connectors, to SDH/SONET Port 3 on the active radio. The other end will eventually be connected to SDH/SONET Port 3 on the standby radio, to communicate protection-related information between the radios.
2)
If desired, attach one end of a single-mode fiber cable, with LC connectors, to SDH/SONET Port 1 on the active radio, for SDH/SONET data. Another fiber cable will eventually be connected to SDH/SONET Port 1 on the standby radio. These cables will eventually be terminated in a fiber splitter inside a connection box. A third fiber cable will eventually go from the fiber splitter to customer equipment. For additional SDH/SONET data connections, repeat for SDH/SONET Port 2. SDH/SONET Port 4 can also be used for radios without Sync-E.
3)
For Sync-E radios, attach one end of a single- or multi-mode fiber cable, with LC connectors, to SDH/SONET Port 4 on the active radio for Sync-E data. Another fiber cable will eventually be connected to SDH/SONET Port 4 on the standby radio. These cables will eventually be terminated in a fiber splitter inside the connection box mentioned above. A third fiber cable will eventually go from the fiber splitter to customer equipment.
4)
Attach one end of a single- or multi-mode fiber cable, with LC connectors, to the desired Ethernet data port on the active radio. Another fiber cable will eventually be connected to the samenumbered (matching) Ethernet data port on the standby radio. These cables will eventually be terminated in a fiber splitter inside the connection box mentioned above. A third fiber cable will eventually go from the fiber splitter to customer equipment. Repeat for each Ethernet data connection. For out-of-band management, four Ethernet fiber data connections can be used; for in-band management, three Ethernet fiber data connections can be used.

5)
For in-band management, attach one end of a fiber cable to an Ethernet port on the active radio. The other end will eventually be connected to the same-numbered Ethernet port on the standby radio. For out-of-band management, attach one end of a Cat5e cable to the Copper Port 9 on the active radio.
6)
Route the fiber cables used for in-band management (if applicable) and protection communication through the straight-through fitting, then attach the flexible conduit to the fitting, ensuring that the cables do not get pinched when the conduit is pushed on to the fitting. Route these cables, which will connect to the standby radio, through this conduit.
7)
Install the power cabling on the active radio. Refer to the Power Cabling subsection.
8)

8.8 Annex A: fine antenna alignment Safety requirements for workers on antenna pole, and microwave radiations (EMF norms)
SAFETY RULES When operating on the antenna pole, strictly follow cautions. In particular do not stand on the antenna axis and be aware of the compliance boundaries. Antenna pre–pointing should have been done during equipment hardware installation. This annex explains how to carry out the antenna fine alignment.
8.8.1 Antenna alignment 8.8.1.1 RSL test cable The alignment procedure is optimized through the use of the provided test cable. This test cable is designed for use with a digital voltmeter (not provided) to read the Link Quality and Receive Signal Level (RSL) voltage generated by the radio's receiver. See Figure 46.
Figure 46. Supplied test cable for measuring link quality and receive signal level voltages
1)
To read the RSL value of the radio, insert GND (ground) and RSL banana plugs into the voltmeter. Note the RSL voltage. The voltage may be fluctuating; in this case, note the maximum value seen.

8.8.1.2 Set both radios to “alignment mode” 1)
The Transmitter ATPC must be disabled so that the Transmitter power is fixed for alignment.
2)
Press the reset button for approximately one second, and verify that the “Mode” LED on the radio turns blue and flashes on-off.
3)
Put the far-end Radio of the link in alignment mode, and verify a blue mode LED.
4)
For short links (see the table below), the RSL voltage will be saturated, and it will be difficult to find the peak of the RSL voltage. The solution is to use the NMS to lower the TX power output to 0 dBm or to a calculated level in which the far-end RSL equals -40 dBm. Link Antenna Sizes

8.8.1.3 Prepare to the alignment 1)
Connect RSL test-lead cable to radio, and place voltmeter with readings in view.
2)
Slightly rotate each antenna up or down for best vertical alignment and left or right for best horizontal alignment, by finding the maximum RSL voltage reading.
3)
To ensure that the antennas are not aligned on a side-lobe, they must be rotated about 7 to 10 degrees on each side of the perceived alignment center to ensure that the true maximum RSL voltage is found.
The width of the center beam is only 0.4º (80X) or 0.9º (80) and the first side-lobe beam is only 1 degree off from center.
Set the antenna in the position that results in the highest RSL voltage reading. 4)
Repeat these steps on far-end radio.

8.8.1.4 Fine adjustment procedure 1)
Slightly loosen the azimuth "fine adjustment" bolt (the small eye bolt).
2)
Pan antenna slowly from left to right and capture the highest RSL voltage peak.
3)
See Figure 47. to help guide you in obtaining the highest RSL voltage reading.
4)
Tighten down the azimuth adjustment bolts.
5)
Loosen the two bolts holding the antenna elevation position to the antenna mount.
6)
The Elevation fine-adjustment bolt is not designed to be tightened; use the "hex nut" to fine (and course) adjust the elevation (vertical position) to highest RSL value.
7)
While monitoring the voltmeter, begin to align the vertical position of the antenna to obtain the highest RSL voltage level.
8)
Once completed, this fine adjustment must be repeated at the remote end of the system, if you have not obtained the "target" RSL voltage for the given path distance (see the RSL Voltage vs. Distance chart in Appendix A - RSL voltage charts).
9)
If you have not obtained the "target" RSL voltage for the given path distance (or you want to further improve it), re-align the antenna, go back to the original site you started with and restart steps 1-8 and re-align again. See Figure 47., below, of a conceptual illustration of the antenna beam to keep in mind while you perform a re-alignment.
10) Once again, the very narrow beam width of these antennas (0.4º and 0.9º) makes it necessary to completely tighten the bolts of the azimuth adjustment while adjusting the elevation, and vice versa.
Verify that the RSL voltage at both ends of the link falls within the expected range based on the graph in Appendix A - RSL voltage charts.

Figure 47. Conceptualized cross-section of a beam
Figure 47. is a conceptualized cross-section of a beam to exemplify a horizontal RSL level voltage reading against relative locations with an assumed fine-tuned vertical position. Keep in mind how narrow the beam is at 80GHz, the 3dB beam width for 80GHz is 0.9º with 30 cm (12") antenna and 0.4º for 60 cm (24") antennas with the extended range models 80X.
8.8.1.5 Locking down radio antenna 1)
After the target RSL level has been achieved, ensure all bolts are tightened evenly and securely, and ensure the RSL voltage remains unchanged after tightening is completed.
2)
The very narrow beam width of this antenna (0.4º and 0.9º) makes it necessary to completely tighten the bolts of the azimuth adjustment while adjusting the elevation and vice versa.
3)
Always evenly tighten bolts in small fractions at a time to ensure minimum change to your completed alignment.

8.8.1.6 Link quality voltage 1)
To read the link quality value of the radio, insert ground (GND) and QUAL banana plugs into the voltmeter. The quality voltage should read 3.0-3.3VDC if the link is aligned on the main antenna beam, there are no obstructions (i.e., trees, buildings, etc…) in the path, the link distance is within the operating parameters of the radio (see Section 5.4 above), and it is not raining heavily.
2)
Remove the test cable from the radio, replace the rear plastic cover and hand tighten the back cover nut to the point where the back cover stops (i.e. when it hits the metal ring on the back metal plate). The installation is now complete. The most important alignment 'tool' for these models is care and patience! It is recommended that these models be aligned with personnel present at both ends of the link, and the installers should allow 90 minutes to optimally align these units.
Figure 48. Quality voltage graph
–
Quality Voltages between 3.0V and 3.3V indicate PRE and POST forward error correction (FEC) error-free wireless link.
–
Quality Voltages between 2.0V and 3.0V indicate a low rate of errors that the FEC will correct. The lower the voltage, the more errors are being corrected.
–
Quality Voltages between 0.3V and 1.7V indicate excessive PRE-FEC errors in the wireless link, some of which cannot be corrected by the FEC. To indicate this change in error performance, the quality voltage will drop from 2.0V to 1.7V in a single step.
–
Quality Voltages below 0.3V indicate an unlocked de-framer condition. This will be recognized as a link-down condition.

8.8.1.7 Clear both radios from 'alignment mode'. 1)
The Transmitter ATPC must be re-enabled so that the transmitter power is automatically controlled.
2)
Press the reset button for approximately one second and verify that the 'Mode" LED on the radio turns from blue to off.
3)
Put the far-end radio of the link in alignment mode and verify that the flashing blue 'Mode' LED is off.
If you cannot obtain a good quality voltage, and you have obtained the target RSL, contact the Technical Support. At this point, open the Status page from the unit's NMS interface and ensure the Radio TX and RX is operating at expected SONET and/or 1000 Mbps for both radios. 1)
Go to Statistics page and reset the statistics for each radio end.
2)
Perform a ping test. Open two command line windows, and ping the local and remote management agent. Factory default IPs are; 192.168.0.1 for low-band and 192.168.0.2 for highband. Perform a ping to both ends and wait a few minutes, ensure you are getting responses from the local and remote management agents.
3)
Review the Statistics page results and ensure packets are being transmitted, received, and there are no excessive error conditions.

It may take longer than the normal 40 seconds for the hard restart operation to complete and the management agent to become available. Hard restart causes a brief link outage after 40 seconds.
11.2 Reset button functionality The reset button performs different functions, based on a) the length of time the button is pressed and b) whether it is pressed while the radio is running or starting up. These functions are indicated by three LEDs: Tx Status Activity, Rx Status Activity, and Mode. Tx/Rx Status/activity LEDs

The Mode LED blinks blue in Manual mode and turns off in Automatic mode. Analog output is also tied to ATPC mode. When the ATPC mode is set to Manual, the analog output represents remote RSL voltage. When set to Automatic mode, the analog output represents local quality voltage.
11.2.2 Hard restart If the button is pressed and held, then released between 11-20 seconds, the radio performs a hard restart equivalent to the Web interface (the radio is restarted, and current configuration settings are maintained). The Mode LED illuminates solid red.

12 Appendix C - ice shield canopy The Ice Shield assembly is an optional item and can be ordered in kit form through an Alcatel-Lucent sales or distribution partner.
12.1 Introduction In northern climates, the buildup of ice or snow on antennas can be a problem for millimeter wave radio installations. These problems are twofold: the electrical effect of snow and ice built up on the antenna's radome; and the mechanical impact of the additional weight of the snow or ice on the antenna and supporting structure. The formation of ice or snow on the antennas radome can cause attenuation of the signal to the point where the link may become severely degraded or unusable. Uneven ice buildup can cause scattering of the signal, which in turn results in standing waves. At 80GHz, ice buildup less than 1mm thick (one-quarter wavelength at 80GHz) may result in degraded performance of the link. Such thin layers are not likely to exist for extended periods, as ice tends to melt. In cold climates, when the radome is below freezing temperature, ice does not stick to it, thus there is no issue. However in mixed rain-snow-ice storms, ice can stick to the radome, causing the link to operate at less than its optimal design. Once the ice has hardened and freezes, the added weight of the ice on the antenna increases the wind load on the tower or mast, which may cause premature failure of the mounting structure. As ice breaks apart due to melting, or via its own weight, these large and heavy sheets falling down a tower or mast can cause damage to antennas or other objects mounted below.

12.3 Installation instructions - 60 cm (24") antenna 12.3.1 Required tools A screwdriver or 5/16" nut driver, not provided by Alcatel-Lucent, is used for installing the ice shield on 60 cm (24") antennas.
12.3.2 Installation 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7)
Note the RSL voltage prior to installation. Remove the protective liner from the plastic canopy. Use a screwdriver or 5/16" nut driver to set the hose clamp to the end of its range for maximum opening. Slip the hose clamp over the radome, so that it loosely sits approximately in the middle of the radome. Slide one end of the plastic canopy under the clamp and slowly bend it around the canopy, and work it under the rest of the clamp. Align the canopy to the back edge of the radome, and position the clamp 1-3" away from the edge. Tighten the clamp until snug. (Do not over-tighten.).
12.4 Installation instructions - 30 cm (12") antenna 12.4.1 Required tools The following tools, not provided by Alcatel-Lucent, are used for installing the ice shield: –
Open-end wrench 9/16-inch.
–
Ratchet with 9/16-inch socket.
12.4.2 Installation 1) 2)
3) 4)
Note the RSL voltage prior to installation. Loosen the four bolts at the corners of the radio enough to slide the canopy behind the flat washer(s) on the upper three bolts. The fourth bolt is loosened to maintain even torque on the antenna feed and to prevent the radio from fully disengaging from the antenna mount. Slide the canopy into place behind the flat washers of the top three bolts. Evenly tighten the four bolts.
Remove the canopy when it is not snowing to reduce antenna wind loading.
