Product Description

Functional Description Featuring an advanced architecture, FibeAir IP-10C uniquely integrates the latest radio technology with Smart Pipe Ethernet capabilities. The FibeAir IP10C radio core engine is designed to support native Ethernet over the air interface enhanced with Adaptive Power and Adaptive Coding & Modulation (ACM) for maximum spectral efficiency in any deployment scenario. Functional Block Diagram

FibeAir IP-10C Block Diagram

The CPU acts as the unit’s central controller, and all management frames received from or sent to external management applications must pass through the CPU. The Mux assembles the radio frames, and transfers them to the MODEM. The MODEM represents the physical layer, modulating, transmitting, and receiving the data stream.

Product Description

Management Interfaces An IP-10C system can be configured to use 1 or 2 Ethernet management ports. Interfaces Eth2 and Eth3 are the only interfaces that can be assigned as management ports. Management Interfaces Configured Number Management Interfaces of Management Ports 1

Management interfaces are connected to the switch (bridge) and are configured to learning mode. Management frames should always be assigned maximum priority in order to ensure that network management remains available in a loaded network. In order to achieve this, the IP-10C automatically assigns to all management frames (frames incoming from the management interfaces) a p-bit value of 7, which is the highest priority by default. Management interfaces can be configured to have one of the following capacities: 64kbps, 128kbps, 256kbps, 512kbps, 1024kbps, 2048kbps (default). Capacity is limited by the port ingress rate limit.

3.4

Product Description

Radio Interface In all configurations, both remote mount and direct mount, IP-10C is connected to the antenna via the RF port. The RF port is a TX/RX direct WG connection. For supported WG interfaces, refer to Antenna Connection on page 100.

3.5

RSL Indication The RSL indication is used for antenna alignment during the link commissioning phase of installation. Connecting a DVM to this BNC connector will show current RSL in a 3 digit display following the 1V indication. For example, a level of -35dBm is displayed as 1.35V on the DVM. Note:

3.6

The RSL reading is for reference only. For an accurate RSL indication, use the web-based EMS.

Power Interfaces The IP-10C power interface is connected via a proprietary two pin connector, at the end of an 18-12AWG cable supplying -48VDC (nominal).

Product Description

License Overview FibeAir IP-10C offers a pay as-you-grow concept to reduce network costs. Future capacity growth and additional functionality is enabled with license keys using the same hardware. Licenses are per unit, with a license required for the units on both sides of the link.

4.2

Working with License Keys Ceragon provides a web-based License Management System (LMS). The LMS enables authorized users to generate license keys, which are generated per IP10C serial number. In order to upgrade a license, the license-key must be entered into the IP-10C, followed by a cold reset. When the system returns online following the reset, its license key is checked and implemented, enabling access to new capacities and/or features. For more detailed information, refer to FibeAir IP-10 License Management System, DOC-00019183.

Product Description

Ethernet Header Compression IP-10C offers several Ethernet header compression methods, which enable operators to significantly improve Ethernet throughout over the radio link without affecting user traffic:  No Header Compression (Layer 1 Header Suppression) – Removes the IFG and Preamble fields. This mechanism operates automatically even if no header compression is selected by the user.  MAC Header Compression (“Legacy Mode”) – Operates at Layer 2, compressing the MAC SA and the MAC DA. The user can enable or disable MAC header compression.  Multi-Layer Header Compression (“Enhanced Compression”) –Users can configure the depth of Enhanced Compression, up to Layer 4. Enhanced Compression requires software version C6.9. Enhanced Compression also requires a license. Header Compression

Product Description

Layer 1 Header Suppression Even when no header compression is enabled, IP-10C performs Layer 1 header suppression. Layer 1 header suppression removes the IFG and Preamble fields (20 bytes), replacing them with a GFP header. Headers fields in Layers 2 through 4 are not compressed at all. The following figure provides a detailed diagram of Layer 1 header suppression. Layer 1 Header Suppression

Product Description

MAC Header Compression (“Legacy Mode”) IP-10C’s legacy MAC header compression operates on Layer 2, and supports up to eight flows. Legacy MAC header compression improves effective throughput over the radio link by up to 45% or more without affecting user traffic. Legacy MAC header compression compresses the MAC SA and the MAC DA fields (12 bytes). Layer 1 header suppression is also active, replacing the IFG and Preamble fields (20 bytes) with a GFP header. Legacy MAC header compression does not require a license, and can be enabled and disabled by the user. By default, legacy MAC header compression is disabled. The following figure provides a detailed diagram of how the frame structure is affected by legacy MAC header compression. Legacy MAC Header Compression

Product Description

Multi-Layer (Enhanced) Header Compression

This feature requires: 

Enhanced Header Compression license

Related topics: 

Licensing

Multi-Layer (Enhanced) header compression identifies traffic flows and replaces the header fields with a "flow ID". This is done using a sophisticated algorithm that learns unique flows by looking for repeating frame headers in the traffic stream over the radio link and compressing them. The principle underlying this feature is that packet headers in today’s networks use a long protocol stack that contains a significant amount of redundant information. In Enhanced Compression mode, the user can determine the depth to which the compression mechanism operates, from Layer 2 to Layer 4. Operators must balance the depth of compression against the number of flows in order to ensure maximum efficiency. Up to 256 concurrent flows are supported. Up to 68 bytes of the L2-4 header can be compressed. In addition Layer 1 header suppression is also performed, replacing the IFG and Preamble fields (20 bytes) with a GFP header. Multi layer header compression can be used to compress the following types of header stacks:  Ethernet MAC untagged IPv4  TCP  UDP IPv6  TCP  UDP MPLS  Ethernet MAC + VLAN IPv4  TCP  UDP IPv6  TCP  UDP MPLS  Ethernet MAC with QinQ IPv4  TCP  UDP IPv6  TCP

IP-10C’s Multi-Layer (enhanced) header compression can improve effective throughput by up to 300% or more without affecting user traffic. 5.1.2.4

Enhanced Header Compression Compatibility The IP-10C’s configuration monitoring mechanism is used to provide backwards compatibility with legacy hardware and software versions that do not support Multi-Layer (enhanced) header compression. A configuration mismatch may occur if the remote IP-10C unit is configured to Legacy compression mode. In this scenario, both sides of the link will use Legacy compression mode and an alarm will be raised to indicate that there is a configuration mismatch.

Product Description

Enhanced Header Compression Counters In order to help operators optimize Multi-Layer (Enhanced) header compression, IP-10C provides counters when Enhanced Compression is enabled. These counters include real-time information, such as the number of currently active flows and the number of flows by specific flow type. This information can be used by operators to monitor network usage and capacity, and optimize the Multi-Layer compression settings. By monitoring the effectiveness of the compression settings, the operator can adjust these settings to ensure that the network achieves the highest possible effective throughput.
