SECTION INTRODUCTION
This section gives the location and describes, power connections, signal connections, and status and alarm connections for the 9500 MPR.
3.2
POWER CABLE CONNECTION
See Figure 3 - 1 and Figure 3 - 2 for power cable connection. The power cable (PN 3DB18271AA) is supplied in the MSS Installation Kit. It is supplied with the connector tted at one end and wire at the other. The cable is nominally 5 m (16 ft), and the wires are 4 mm2 (AWG 12).
The red (or blue) wire must be connected to -48 Vdc (live); the black wire to ground/+ve.
Figure 3 - 1 Power Cable and Connector
DC power connector can be shorted inadvertently if applied at an angle. Always insert with correct alignment.
3-1
Short circuiting low-voltage, low-impedance dc circuits can cause arcing that may result in burns or eye injury. Remove rings, watches, and other metal jewelry while working with primary circuits. Exercise caution to avoid shorting input power terminals.
To protect maintenance personnel from antenna tower lightning strikes, the ground system must be integrated by bonding frame ground and dc battery return together.
Figure 3 - 2 Battery Power Connection

3-2
Do not apply battery power until it is determined that A and B battery cables with isolated returns and power cables are wired correctly. With power applied, reverse polarity on wiring (+batt wired to -batt pin on connector) can cause power supply fuse to blow.
Grounding of pole, antenna, customer interfaces, and all entrances to the building interior shall meet local electrical code and standard business practices.
3.3
E1 CONNECTIONS
Recommended connectorized cable assembly PN 3CC52118AA (22 AWG 34 pair shielded, jacketed cable with 68-pin SCSI connector on each end). See Figure 3 - 3 and Figure 3 - 3 for connections. Refer to Table 3 - 1 and Table 3 - 2 for mating cable wiring.

ETHERNET CABLE CONNECTIONS
Part numbers are assigned for unshielded, straight-through CAT5 UTP (PN 3AL48960AAAL) and CAT5E UTP (PN 3AL15052AA-AL) cables. The CAT5 or CAT5E cables can be used for 10/100/1000BASE-T applications, however the CT5E cable is the recommended cable for 1000BASE-T applications. The CAT5E cable has a tighter, higher quality twisting on the wire pairs and is less susceptible to crosstalk. Refer to Table 3 - 3 and Table 3 - 4 for pinout. See Figure 3 - 5 for pair wire colors. See Figure 3 - 6 and Figure 3 - 7 for interconnect information.
3.4.1
Automatic MDI/MDI-X Conguration
The Ethernet PHY provides automatic Medium Dependent Interface (MDD/Medium Independent Interface-crossover (MDI-X). Automatic MDI/MDI-X conguration eliminates the need for crossover cables.
3.4.2
Crossover Cable Option
Crossover type cables with pin 1 wired to pin 3 and pin 2 wired to pin 6 can be used, but are not necessary. Crossover is automatically performed by the Core Card, resulting in a straight-through interface to the link partner. Table 3 - 3 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Connector Pinout

INITIAL TURNUP
SECTION INTRODUCTION
This section describes the procedures required to turn up the 9500 MPR Microwave Packet Radios after installation. This provisioning part of the section describes provisioning options available with the 9500 MPR software application. Provisioning allows for the denition, editing, and storing of specic functions.
4.2
RECOMMENDED SEQUENCE
Perform the following initial turnup procedures in sequence:

A. Install software on PC.
Software installed at the factory before delivery should not be overwritten by downloading to the radio controller at initial turnup. Refer to Maintenance section on the attached CD for procedure to upgrade existing software.
B. C.
Turn on the radio. Establish communication between radio and Craft terminal computer.
Saving provisioning on disk provides a reference for any future provisioning changes.
D.
Provision radio.
4-1
4.3
SECURITY MANAGEMENT
A password is required to operate the 9500 MPR. The radio is shipped with a default password and if a new password is desired, it must be entered using the Change Password screen. Once entered initially, the password must be entered each time the user wants to access the provisioning screens (level 1 craft person password required) or download software (level 2 administrator password required). The 9500 MPR application software offers user password security management using two different levels of passwords. User security deals with access level assigned to specic users. The level of user security affects the type and number of commands an individual user may execute. This prevents an unqualied users access to high-level commands. Level 1 craft person password allows the user to perform all tasks except downloading software. Level 2 administrator password allows access to all functions and is the highest level. 4.4 LOAD 9500 MPR SOFTWARE ON PC
Before operating the user system interface (USI) for the rst time, the programs contained on the CD ROM must be installed on the PC. The installation process congures the PC for its unique requirements and prepares it to run the program.
A. Insert CD ROM disk into PC. B. C. D.
On Windows desktop, double click on My Computer icon. My Computer window displays. In My Computer window, click on CD ROM icon. Files window displays Load Craft Terminal software on PC. TURN-ON PROCEDURE
4.5
For user safety, user should become familiar with locations of power distribution units and circuit breakers associated with the 9500 MPR radio. Turn on the radio at the power distribution unit. 4.6 STARTUP
Follow the steps on Figure 4 - 1 to open communication with the radio.

4.7.3
Provision Synchronization
All 9500 MPR radios in the network must be synchronized to the same clock. One radio in the network is provisioned Master. All other radios in the network must be provisioned Slave. The slave radios all sync to the clock provided by the master. 4.7.3.1 Normal Operation
During normal operation, the master can be provisioned to get sync clock from two separate sources: an internal local oscillator (most common source) or external clock from customer provided equipment. The slave radios can be provisioned to receive the sync clock from one of two sources: clock recovered by the radio receiver or the sync clock from another radio in the network. Normally at a repeater, the sync clock is received over the RF path and recovered by the radio receiver. A typical slave terminal uses the clock from an adjacent radio. See Figure 4 - 9 for typical master terminal provisioning. See Figure 4 15 for typical slave terminal provisioning. 4.7.3.2 Failed Primary Operation
With the exception of the master when the radio is provisioned to sync off the local oscillator, the provisioned secondary sync source is enabled if the primary source fails. When the master, provisioned to accept sync clock at the core from an external source, fails, the internal free-running local oscillator is enabled. Provisioning choices for the secondary source for slave radios are dependent upon the choices made from the primary source. 4.7.3.3 Sync Switching
With the exception of the master when the radio is provisioned to sync off the local oscillator, the sync clock source is switched from primary to secondary if the primary source fails. Sync clock switching provisioning is dependent on the role of the radio in the network (master or slave) and on user preference. A revertive switching feature is a provisioning option that restores the sync clock to the original source when the alarm on the primary source is cleared. If revertive switching is not selected, the secondary sync source will continue to provide sync clock, and if the secondary source fails, must be manually switched to the primary source.

Provision NE Time
The user can provision either the operating system (PC/laptop) or Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers to manage time and date stamping functions. Time and date provisioning is accomplished using the NE Time Conguration and NTP Server Conguration screens. 4.7.4.1 Provisioning NTP Protocol
NTP Protocol can be enabled or disabled and server addresses entered on the NTP Server Conguration Screen. The entries provisioned on the NTP Server Conguration Screen (Figure 4 - 10) are displayed on the NE Time Conguration Screen (Figure 4 - 15). Server protection is provided by using two servers (main and spare). Date and time stamping is provided by the main NTP server until the main server fails. 4.7.4.2 Operating System and Network Equipment Time Sync
In applications where the network is not completely synced to NTP Protocol servers, the Network Equipment Time can be provisioned to sync to the time/date information on the PC or laptop. This function is enabled when the Set NE Time with OS Time eld on the NE Time Conguration screen is checked

MAINTENANCE
INTRODUCTION
This section contains information and procedures to aid in restoring the equipment to its proper operating condition after it has been determined that a problem exists. The following warnings and cautions apply while operating, performance testing, troubleshooting, or repairing the 9500 MPR series radios.
Short circuits in low-voltage, low-impedance dc circuits can cause severe arcing that may result in burns or eye injury. Remove rings, watches, and other metal jewelry while working with primary circuits. Exercise caution to avoid shorting power input terminals.
Units with the electrostatic-sensitive (ESS) symbol contain ESS devices. Store these units in an antistatic container when not in use, and anyone handling a unit should observe antistatic precautions. Refer to the Special Precautions pages in the front of the instruction book for detailed handling information.
Ensure that all antennas are properly aligned and waveguide is in good physical condition.
Before performing procedures that might in any way affect transmission, it is recommended that the person performing the procedure understand the FCC Rules and Regulations pertaining to the equipment and be properly authorized to operate the equipment.

MAINTENANCE PHILOSOPHY
This section provides information and procedures for equipment maintenance down to the Card level. Card repair is not covered in this manual. The use of maintenance procedures in this section may result from failure of a periodic check, an alarm indication, or unacceptable performance. 5.3 PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC)/LAPTOP
Connect the RS-232 Interface cable between Craft Terminal connector on the Core Card and the PC. 5.4 TROUBLESHOOTING
This section provides guidance on: Before Going to Site Checklist Troubleshooting Basics Troubleshooting Path Problems Troubleshooting Conguration Problems Troubleshooting Ethernet Problems Troubleshooting TMN Problems 5.4.1 Before Going to Site Checklist
Where possible, before going to site obtain the following information: Does the fault require immediate attention? Determine who is the best-placed person to attend the fault. Conrm the nature and severity of the reported fault, its location, 9500 MPR type, frequency band, high/low end ODU, capacity modulation and conguration (nonprotected, protected, diversity). Ask: Is just one 9500 MPR link affected, or a number of links in the same geographical area? Is the path down completely or is trafc passing but with a BER alarm? Is only one or a number of tributaries affected? Could the fault be in the equipment connected to 9500 MPR, rather than in 9500 MPR? Are there alarms on other, connected equipment? Is it a hard or intermittent fault? Do alarms conrm which end of an alarmed link is faulty?
5-2
Could the weather (rain, ice, high wind, temperature) be a factor in the reported fault?
If the fault suggests a rain fade or other weather related fade condition and it matches the prevailing weather conditions, do not take any action until the weather abates. Does link history suggest any fault trends? Does the fault history for the link indicate a likely cause? Is the 9500 MPR link newly installed? Has there been any recent work done on the link? Ensure that you have with you: Appropriate spares. Where an equipment failure is suspected, these should include replacement Cards/plug-ins and ODU. If an ODU is suspected then local/national climbing safety requirements must be adhered to. A laptop PC loaded with Craft Terminal, and either an Ethernet or V.24 connection cable. If an Ethernet connection is to be used, you need the 9500 MPR Node/Terminal IP address and also the addresses for any remote sites to be accessed. If login security has been enabled, you need the engineer password for the local and also any remote sites to be accessed. Any special test equipment that may be needed, such as a BER tester. Toolkit. Key(s) for access to the site. 5.4.2 Troubleshooting Basics
This section provides general guidance on 9500 MPR troubleshooting: Check front-panel LED indications. These provide summary alarm indications, which can help narrow down the location and type of failure. Refer to Operation section for details. Where a Status LED on a plug-in is off (unlit), but power to the MS is conrmed by LEDs on other plug-ins, check the seating of the affected plug-in. Check Main Screen. When logging into 9500 MPR with Craft Terminal, the opening screen is the Main Screen. Use the information provided to check for severity and problem type. Refer to Table 5 - 1, Alarm Matrix, for probable cause and recommended action.

Check the basics rst.
For example, if multiple alarms are present, and these include power supply voltage or hardware alarms, always check their cause before looking at resultant down-stream path failure or path warning (signal) alarms. Similarly, if a path-related failure is indicated (no hardware or software alarms), investigate the path. Go to the Craft Terminal History screen (15 minute view) to check supporting data, such as low RSL and incidence of intermittent pre-failure BER alarms, which if present are evidence of a path-related failure. Refer to Para. 5.4.3 for more information. Check if symptoms match the alarm. Alarms reect the alarm state, but in exceptional circumstances an alarm may be raised because of a failure to communicate correctly with the alarm source, or a failure in alarm management processing. Always check to see if symptoms match the alarm, using LED indications and the Craft Terminal. Check if recent work may be a cause. Recent work at the site may be a cause or contributing factor. Check for a conguration change, software upgrade, power recycling (reboot), or other site work: Many hardware alarms are only initiated as a loss-of-communications alarm during a reboot, software upgrade, or reconguration. By not being able to communicate with the Core, their settings cannot be loaded. The fault may be at the hardware device (most likely), communications to it, or the Core. Hardware/software compatibility alarms will be raised when a new plug-in is installed that needs a later version of 9500 MPR software. Hardware incompatible alarms will be raised when a plug-in is installed in a slot that has been congured for a different plug-in. MSS before an ODU. If there is doubt about whether a fault is in the MSS or ODU, always replace the MSS rst; it is quicker and easier. Hot-pluggable. MSS cards are hot-pluggable. There is no need to power-down before replacing, but trafc will be lost unless the plug-in is protected. Plug-in restoration time. Ensure adequate time is allowed for services to resume when a plug-in is replaced. 5.4.3 Troubleshooting Path Problems
A path-related problem, with the exception of interference, is characterized by trafc being similarly affected in both directions. Generally, if you are experiencing only a one-way problem, it is not a path problem.
A path extends from ODU antenna port to ODU antenna port.
5-8
Normally a path problem is signalled by a reduced RSL, and depending on its severity, a high BER. Only in worst case situations, such as an antenna knocked out of alignment, will a path fail completely, and stay that way. For weather-related problems, such as rain or ducting, the path problem will disappear as the weather returns to normal.
5.4.3.1 Path Problems on a Commissioned Link A path problem on an existing link, one that has ben operating satisfactorily may be caused by: Weather-related path degradation If BER alarms are eeting/not permanent and RSL returns to its normal, commissioned level after the alarm is cleared, rain, diffraction, or multipath fading is indicated. Rain fade is the likely cause of fade for links 13 GHz and higher. Diffraction and multipath/ducting for links 11 GHz and lower. If these alarms are persistent, there could be a problem with the link design or original installation.
Changed antenna alignment or antenna feed problem
If RSLs do not return to commissioned levels after a period of exceptionally strong winds, suspect antenna alignment. Also, check the antenna for physical damage, such as may occur with ice-fall. For a remote-mounted ODU, check its antenna feeder.
New path obstruction
Where all other parameters check as normal, and the path has potential for it to be obstructed by construction works, view/survey the path for possible new obstructions.
Interference from other signal sources
Interference usually affects trafc in just one direction. Unlike other path problems, RSL is not affected. If suspected, check for new link installations at, or in the same geographical area, as the affected site. Ultimately, a spectrum analyzer may have to be used to conrm interference, which is not an easy task given the need to connect directly to the antenna port, after removing the ODU. 5.4.3.2 Path Problems on a New Link
For a new link, potential problems can extend to also include: Incorrect antenna alignment One or both antennas incorrectly aligned. Refer to Installation alignment procedure on CD.
Mismatching antenna polarizations
Given a typical polarization discrimination of 30 dB, for most links it is not possible to capture a signal to begin the antenna alignment process.
5-9
Incorrect path calculations
If the RSLs are too low or too high, antenna alignment is correct, and Tx power settings are correct, check the path calculations used to determine the link performance. A good calculation match is +/- 2dB. Disagreements in excess of 3 dB should be investigated.
Reections
Reection (path cancellation) problems may not have been picked up at the path planning stage, particularly if the survey was a simple line-of-sight. If suspected, resurvey the path. 5.4.4 Troubleshooting Conguration Problems
Conguration problems should only occur during the setup of a new link, or reconguration of an existing link. The more common problems may be broadly categorized as: Compatibility Problems The two alarms that may activate are Conguration Not Supported and SW/HW Incompatible:
Conguration Not Supported: The plug-in installed is not enabled or is incorrect for the conguration. SW/HW Incompatible: Typically raised when new hardware is plugged into an existing MSS that has software from an earlier release. To remove the alarm, compatible 9500 MPR software is required; install the latest software.
Incorrect circuit connections No alarms are activated for incorrect circuit connections. An incorrect assignment means the expected end-to-end circuit connectivity will not happen. Re-check circuit assignments for all nodes carrying the lost circuit(s). Take extra care when conguring ring circuits. Where the problem is not obvious, use the Tributary Loopback BER Test to track a single circuit through a 9500 MPR network, beginning at the node closest to the node applying the BER test. Incorrect ID naming and commissioning All trafc-carrying circuits must have a unique ow ID for the cross-connect capability to operate. Incorrect/incompatible trib settings Trib line interface settings incorrect, or line levels incompatible. While no alarm activates for an incorrect setting, its effect may result in line levels being too low (LOS alarm), or too high, resulting in a high BER. ATPC settings Ensure ATPC settings are correct, specically that the target fade margin allows adequate headroom for local Tx power, while ensuring an adequate fade margin.

Troubleshooting Ethernet Problems
This section gives general guidance on troubleshooting problems related to the four Ethernet ports on the Core Card. The most common Ethernet problems are network and connectivity related and therefore always check the following rst: Verify link partner capability, provisioning, and connection Verify radio provisioning matches link partner Verify cabling between radio and link partner The LEDs on the Core Card front panel for each Ethernet connector are a good indicator of correct connectivity and activity on the Ethernet port. Refer to Table 5 - 2 for detail troubleshooting using the LEDs locally at the alarmed site.
Table 5 - 2 Troubleshooting Ethernet Problems

LED
ETH IN LOS
Indication
Green LED Not Lit
Probable Cause
Loss of Ethernet RCV/radio XMT signal in. Most probable causes:
Corrective Action
1. Cable between link partner and radio is disconnected/broken. 2. Speed/Mode provisioning mismatch between link partner and radio
ETH OUT LOS Green LED Not Lit Loss of Ethernet XMT/radio RCV signal out. Most probable causes:
Connect/repair cable.
1. Check local Ethernet provisioning screen. 2. Check link partner provisioning.
1. Loss of RF input to radio Access Card
Check local RSL screen on CT. Is RSL ok? Yes - Check farend for Ethernet alarm. No - Check farend Tx output. Is farend Tx Out ok? Yes - Check path, antenna, waveguide/ cabling No - Check/replace farend radio Access Card. Check farend for Ethernet alarms. Are any alarms indicated? Yes - Troubleshoot farend alarms No - Check farend Ethernet status. Is only abnormal status indicated? Yes - Troubleshoot farend Ethernet status. No 1. Replace local alarmed Core Card. 2. Replace local radio Access Card.
2. Loss of Ethernet input to radio Access Card
5-11
In order for the green Link LED to light: 1 2 3 Cable must be connected to Ethernet port Ethernet port must be enabled (provisioned Enabled on Core Settings Screen) Speed and mode (on Core Settings Screen) must be provisioned the same as the link partner.
The yellow LED opposite the green on the connector indicates activity only. The ashing yellow LED is not an indicator of signal type or quality. 5.4.6 Troubleshooting TMN Problems
This section gives general guidance on troubleshooting TMN problems related to Ethernet port 4 on the Core Card. Ethernet port 4 on the Core Card can be used to transport SNMP IP data. Troubleshoot port 4 connectivity alarms the same as Ethernet ports 1-3. Refer to Para. 5.4.5. The most common TMN problems are network related and rst alert is normally observed by improper operation at the SNMP master. Always check the following rst: Verify master is properly registered in NE to receive traps. Verify SNMP version matches system requirements Verify correct community string and privileges Verify proper network routing. Refer to Table 5 - 3 for detail TMN network troubleshooting.
5-12
Table 5 - 3 TMN Network Troubleshooting

Problem
Unusually slow communication in radio network
Possible Cause 1. Normal network management trafc is saturating the communications channel.
Possible Solution 1. There may be too many radios being managed within a single region. Split the radio network management into different regions and backhaul the trafc for each region through separate channels. 2. Poll the radios more slowly. 3. Download to fewer radios at a time. 4 Congure external routers to allow only network management related trafc through the Management network of the radios. Dynamic route updates (OSPF, RIP) may attempt to reroute high speed trafc through the TMN network if a high speed ink fails.
Register the Manager as a craft device. Manager registration type can be changed as needed to type ct to allow control operation and then be changed back to nml for normal operation.
2. Polling radios for PM data or missed alarms too rapidly 3. Multiple remote software downloads in process 4. IP trafc other than network management trafc being routed through radio network
Unable to operate controls using SNMP
To perform control operations, the Manager must be registered as a craft device.
Can Read SNMP objects but cannot Write to SNMP objects
1. Incorrect community string
1. Use the correct community string. 2. Use the correct privileges: a) The TMN Interface supports 4 view levels. Use a SNMPv3 user account that supports write access to the selected SNMP object. b) Use the correct Authentication mode. c) Use the correct Privacy passphrase. 3 Use the correct write community string.
2. Insufcient SNMPv3 privileges
3. If the TMN Interface is congured for SNMPv2, the write community string is probably wrong.

Table 5 - 3 TMN Network Troubleshooting (Cont.)

Problem
No traps being received from NE
Possible Cause 1. Manager not registered in NE to receive traps 2. Communication failure in network
Possible Solution 1. Register Manager with NE. 2. Check network connectivity. Check redundant network paths and routing. Traceroute (tracert) is useful for locating path or routing faults.
Use traceroute (tracert) to help locate for communication path or routing problems.
Unable to communicate with the NE through the radio network (unable to ping the NE) Can ping the TMN Interface but cannot communicate with the NE using SNMP, or can only see a few SNMP objects in the NE.
Possible communication path failure or routing failure within the radio network
1. Using incorrect SNMP version at manager
1. Note the TMN card ships in SNMPv3 mode. If SNMPv2 operation is desired, it must be provisioned for SNMPv2 using the TUI. 2. Verify community string or username/passphrase.
2. If using SNMPv2, using the wrong community string. If using SNMPv3 using wrong username/passphrase pair

CARD REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
The basic rules for installing plug-in cards are as follows:
Never install, change or remove a card without rst connecting to the shelf with an ESD grounding cable. Failure to do so may cause ESD damage to the cards.
5-14
Plug-ins must be withdrawn and inserted using their ngergrip fastener/pulls. Never withdraw or insert using attached cable(s). Pulling on the cables may damage the cable, plugin connector, and/or plug-in card connector attachment.
When installing a plug-in, ensure its backplane connector is correctly engaged before applying sufcient pressure to bring the plug-in panel ush with the front panel. Improper alignment can result in damaged pins on the backplane connector and/or damage to the plug-in connector.
All slots must be lled with either a peripheral plug-in card or a blank panel. Failure to do so will compromise EMC integrity and cooling air from the fan.
Use extreme caution when connecting or disconnecting the ODU cable on the Radio Access Card. The shelf battery voltage is present on the center conductor of the connector. When removing or replacing a radio Access Card, withdraw the card from the shelf before disconnecting the cable to the ODU. Failure to follow these cautions may cause arcing and/or possible power spikes that could affect trafc on other links installed at the node.
5-15
Removing an in-service card in an unprotected link will cause loss of trafc. Removing an in-service card in a protected link requires switching the trafc onto the standby (protection) channel. The main Core Card, standby Core Card, and fan card have dedicated slots. The E1 Access Card and Radio Access Cards (peripherals) can be installed in any of the universal slots (3 through 8). The MSS-8 can be congured with a maximum of six peripherals; three protected links, six non-protected links, or a combination of protected and non-protected links. For protected links, main and standby (spare) peripherals must be plugged in sideby-side. All plug-ins can be removed and installed with power applied. 5.5.1 ODU Removal and Replacement
Refer to the attached CD. 5.6 CHANGING FREQUENCY
Refer to the attached CD. 5.7 CLEANING
Do not use acid, alcohol, or brushes to clean cards because damage to the silkscreen labeling and antistatic coating can result. Cleaning should be conned to the removal of dust and dirt using a damp cloth. Cleaning should normally be conned to the removal of dust and dirt using a soft bristled (natural ber) brush and a low velocity blower (such as a vacuum cleaner with a plastic blower nozzle). Do not use acid or synthetic bristled brushes to clean cards that contain electrostatic-sensitive components.
