1) Channel separation mode - Ethernet interface 1 is connected to radio link 1 and Ethernet interface 2 is connected to radio
link 2
2) Full-switch mode - Traffic from any of the device ports can be forwarded to any output port of the EPIU 3) Capacity sharing mode - It is possible to divide radio links Ethernet capacity between those two Ethernet ports to two
individual bit pipes so that both of the interfaces have a fixed capacity of the radio link - Capacity can be shared quite freely between these two interfaces (granularity is 1/256 of links Ethernet capacity)
Performance monitoring
Basic performance statistics via Q1 & Hopper Manager SNMP statistics: RMON, IF MIB Basic configuration management via Nokia Q1 & Hopper Manager SNMP configuration management supported for EPIU
Configuration management:
Operation temperature adheres to FIU19E requirements. Possibility for remote SW update on the field for EPIU EPIU can be used in combination with any 4x2Mbit/s plug in units, also with EXU

Channel separation mode Provides two independent channels; one channel over one radio hop Capacity sharing mode Allows two independent Ethernet channels over single radio hop Flexible sharing of radio paths capacity between two Ethernet channels (granularity 1/256 of links capacity) It is only possible to transfer shared traffic over one Flexbus at a time Full Switch mode Provides access to two radio hops via single Ethernet interface Allows building chaining station configuration for Ethernet traffic without external cable Simultaneous transfer of E1 traffic Configurable on 2Mbit/s granularity

Initially packet traffic exists only between IU1 and IU3 Active IU fails (IU1), IU switchover happens at near end IU1 does not send any packets to Ethernet switch anymore Packets start coming to Ethernet switch through IU2 Ethernet switch learns that packets come only through IU2 Ethernet switch starts transmitting packets to IU2 directly after a timeout. Typically this timeout lasts about 5 minutes (address table ageing time). Typically one Ethernet MAC address exists only behind one port. It is a special/fault situation if same MAC address can be found behind two ports.

Loop in the network, broadcast & unicast traffic will finally block the network Ethernet interface capacity is much smaller than radio links Ethernet capacity. Maximum utilization of half duplex Ethernet segment is usually 30% of links capacity. At 10 Base-T link segment the utilization would be about 3.5 Mbits/s. This is much less than radio links maximum Ethernet capacity. Also note that on half duplex segment only one host can send at a time. Payload Ethernet interface connected to IP DCN interface. IP DCN traffic should be kept separated from Ethernet payload traffic for network security reasons.

Exercise 1: continued..
General description: Check that Ethernet radio hop is established correctly, check PDH traffic over the radio link. Checks that can be done by Hopper Manager to check that Ethernet hop is established correctly: Check Eth-2 link status LEDs on both sides of the hop, they should be lit Close & reopen EPIU settings menu to check current Ethernet interface mode What is the current operating mode for Eth-2 on IU1 ________ and IU2 __________ Check alarm window & history, there should be no active alarms. Open Maintenance -> Performance -> Counters for Ethernet 2 interface Clear the performance counters for Ethernet 2 interface, leave window open for later viewing Verifying that Ethernet radio hop works correctly: Open a command window on the PC (Start > run.. : cmd <enter>) Run the following ping command: ping www.connecting.nokia.com Ping should return something like:
H:\>ping www.connecting.nokia.com Pinging www3ntc.ntc.nokia.com [172.21.140.34] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 172.21.140.34: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=250 Reply from 172.21.140.34: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=250 Reply from 172.21.140.34: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=250 Reply from 172.21.140.34: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=250 Ping statistics for 172.21.140.34: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
Download example: Open Internet explorer Clear internet explorer cache: Tools -> Internet Options -> (Delete Files + OK) Download a large file from Check that performance counters of Ethernet plug in unit are updated (on IU1) Write down the number of InOctets __________________ and OutOctets ____________________. Check that LED is showing link activity on ETH-2 interface during download.
