configuration and across the link.o IDC with 2xEth wayside should work with IDC with 2xEth or 2xEth+EOW

across the link.o The compatibility refers to IDCs loaded with this NSV release

IDM compatibilityo IDM-155 should work with IDM-155 or IDM-311 (only one STM-1/OC-3 port

active) in internal/external protection configuration and across the link.o IDM-1xDS3 should work with IDM-1xDS3 or IDM-3xDS3 (only one DS3 port

active) in internal protection configuration and across the link.

ODU/RFU compatibilityo Sagem Link A ODU should work with 1500P ODU in internal/external

protection configuration and across the link.o Sagem Link A ODU should work with 1500SP in internal/external protection

configuration and across the link (not XPIC).o Sagem Link A ODU should not work with 1500HP.o 1500SP should not work with 1500HP.o 1500SP and 1500HP can work with 1500P IDU type only (no Sagem Link

A1500/1528).

4.6 SW Compatibility in a Link

Operating a link with new SW at one end and old SW at remote end is possiblealthough SAGEM recommends upgrading SW on both ends of the link (and in theentire network).

Software upgrade procedure is detailed further this document (refer to sec 13).

Notes regarding ODU versions: The 1500P IDUs can work with Sagem Link A1500 ODUs and 1500P ODUs.

There are different SW versions for the different ODUs.

When upgrading an ODU, file with the extension ".odu" should be selected whenthe ODU is connected to a Sagem Link A1500/1528 IDU and file with theextension ".odn" should be selected when connected to a 1500P IDU.

1500HP RFUs can be connected only to 1500P IDUs.

1500HP RFUs have ODC software and RFU firmware versions.

1500P 11GHzThe 1500P 11GHz ODU requires O5.52g SW file. This version is specifically for the11GHz ODU.As all 11GHz 1500P ODUs are shipped from the factory with O5.52g, no need forsoftware upgrade in any case.

9. Limitations

# Limitation Description/Notes

1 Set default configuration Hard reset required

2 1540 - 155Mbps over40MHz channels

Applicable for new IDMs sent from SAGEM only.

Upgrade of units already in the field needs to beverified with SAGEM (depends on Modem boardversion).

3 Protection configuration

changes

Wait 3 minutes after changing protection configuration

before coping configuration between IDMs ("Copy toMate" commands)

4 Frequency change ofremote ODU

Cannot change remote ODU frequency in XPIC modewith 1500P ODUs.

Workaround: change remote ODU frequency first.

5 System resets Wait 2 minutes between IDM and IDC reset in order toallow full power-up sequence

6 Longer system up timedue to disk-on-chip unzipand integrity check

Power up with 2 IDMs 2 minutes.

Power up with one IDM 2:30 minutes.

SW reset 2 minutes.

7 3128 2U - power down toan IDM will not initiate a"Mate ConfigurationMismatch" alarm

IDC SW reset is required

8 Reset push-buttondisabled

SW reset the IDC using Linkpilot or eject the IDC

9 ODU/RFU reset after

SW upgrade using SFD

The ODU/RFU upload is followed by ODU reset thatwe'll cause service disruption of ~20 seconds. Thiscannot be disabled when using the SFD.

10 1500HP - max RG223cable length 70m

Compared to 100m for 1500P/SP

11 1500HP ACCP notsupported on same OCB

10. Corrected Bugs

The corrected bugs refer to the previous Regenerator NSV: IDC 4.60b72/73.Items in RED are bug fixes from IDC 4.95s20 Apr 2007 release.

# Description Notes

1 Errors on Tx power changes or RFUtemperature changes with 1500HP RFUs[rare]

Wrong pre-distortion valuescorrected

2 ODU mute in XPIC configuration due to wrongidentification of IDU-ODU communication

problem.

The fix implemented is areliable polling of ODU status.

3 False signal degrade on Fiber/Radio alarmwhen PM data is cleared

4 Continuous IDC resets in 2xEth+EOW IDCsdue to floating reset signal

Implemented in Wayside FWwsc_10b1_6.39p.frw or later

5 Telnet and TFTP work only if based onstandard IP/Mask subnets.

For example: IP 192.xxx.xxx.xxx will not workwith 255.255.0.0 mask

6 [311Mbps IDMs] When disabling the wayside

channel, the EOW will be disabled7 High radio errors in 3156 MRMC script [rare] 3156 MRMC script update

11. Open Bugs

# Description Workaround

1 "Remote Communication" alarms (or otheralarms) due to heavy load on Ethernet NMSport. The processor drops less prioritized taskas it has to check each packet.

Never connect Ethernet trafficto NMS port. Use designatedVLANs to separatemanagement packets fromtraffic.

2 Alarm "Test#6 Failed" on power up in case ofmultiple resets under software download [rare]

Avoid multiple resets duringsoftware download. Ifencountered, reset IDU

3 1500P ODU and 1500HP versions are missingin the event log when downloaded using SFD.

Versions are downloaded andcan be verified in Linkpilot

4 IDO-ODU Communication failure due to IDChot-swap during "Copy-To-IDC" command[rare]

Avoid IDC hot-swap during"Copy-To-IDC" process, orreset the system afterwards

5 [3xDS3] "Unexpected signal" alarm on ports 1and 2 due to IDC SW reset when DS3 lineloopback is active

Reset IDM

6 [3128 XPIC-Diversity 2U] - power down to anIDM will not initiate a "Mate ConfigurationMismatch" alarm

IDC SW reset is required

7 [2+2 configuration] Active IDC software resetwill cause ~2 seconds of traffic disruption.IDC hot-swap will have the same effect, butthe traffic disruption will be permanent.

Force switch and then reset theIDC or disconnect protectioncable before IDC reset

8 IDC software reset causes a 3 seconds trafficdisruption in the left port of the waysidechannel

9 IDC reset when connecting to 1500AL (Line-to-Line ADM) when Media Specific bytes areused

10 No Tx channel number information in Linkpilot

after Set Default Configuration

11 [1/3xDS3 IDMs in 1+1 configuration] 97.5% ofprotection switches below 50mSec

12 [STM-1/OC3 Electrical in 1+1 internalconfiguration] Standby IDM reset will cause 1bit error on Active IDM [occasional]

13 [1500HP RFU] ODC software upload might failif performed during multiple protectionswitches

Repeat the upload

14 [3128 XPIC-Diversity ] Enabling ATPC fromthe Standby IDM will enable ATPC on both

local units and only the remote Active unit

Perform ATPC settings from theActive IDM


18/27



15 [1500HP RFU] Reset IDM when XPIC isenabled will cause "RFU SynthesizerUnlocked" alarm the link will be down [veryrare]

Reset IDM again

16 Telnet session will stuck if two attempts toconnect (from different PCs) at the same time

17 Disabling the STM-1/OC-3 port will disable theEth wayside channel

Enable the STM-1/OC-3 port

18 [1500HP/SP] False "Cable Open" alarm raisedwhen no SW in RFU Ignore alarm and upload SW

19 [1500HP] False RFU Power Failure" alarmwhen RFU is muted [ occasionally]

Ignore alarm if RFU is muted

20IDC insertion causes radio traffic hit [rare]

12. Products and Features Description

12.1 SFD Single File Download

The purpose of the SFD is to provide a simple and easy software download process.It allows download of single file instead of several SW/FW files.

The different SW, FW and configuration scripts that has to be download upon newrelease are zipped into one file named "SFD_xxx.idn (where xxx=IDC SW versionname).Events of each file downloaded are displayed in the alarm log.The ODU/RFU will be uploaded automatically upon download of SFD file and defaultwill be an upload to both ODUs/RFUs.The ODU/RFU upload is followed by ODU reset that we'll cause service disruption of~20 seconds. This cannot be disabled when using the SFD.

For upgrade purposes, this feature can be used with IDCs containing 4.52e10 versionor later.

Software download process:

Download IDC software version

SW reset IDC

Download SFD file

Wait until all files are downloaded and uploaded (IDU andODU/RFU)

HW reset the IDU

Verify all correct files are updated in Linkpilot.

12.2 User Channel Support

Asynchronous and synchronous channels are supported in this NSV: oneasynchronous per carrier (radio) or one synchronous on Channel#1 (radio right).

The following UCs are supported (maimum 64Kbps over the radio):

V.11 Asynchronous (up to 9600 baud)

RS-232 Asynchronous (up to 9600 baud)

V.11 Synchronous Co-Directional (64Kbps)

V.11 Synchronous Contra-Directional (64Kbps)

.Available modes of operations are:

Two V.11 Asynchronous UCs (one per radio)

Two RS-232 Asynchronous UCs (one per radio)

One RS-232 Asynchronous UC, and one V.11 Asynchronous UC(one per radio)

One V.11 Synchronous Co-Directional or one V.11 SynchronousContra Directional UC (mapped to CH#1)

The connector dedicated for the UC is shared with the SLIP.

The system powers up with SLIP and UC disabled, and the user can choose betweenthe two.
